Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

Ke Ling's progress is simply visible to the naked eye. There's no way an ordinary person would fall like that. For an ordinary person, this isn't training; it's murder!

After training with Ke Ling for a while, Urokodaki Sakonji left to take care of Kamado Tanjiro.

He was going to prepare some medicine for Tanjiro Kamado's injuries and massage his muscles to help the boy recover faster.

Although this old man was harsh in his words and in his demands on Tanjiro Kamado, he was a gentle person at heart.

His ruthlessness is actually a manifestation of gentleness.

Slaying demons is no child's play, and Tanjiro Kamado is not Korin, who can immediately recover from a broken neck.

He could only make Tanjiro live a little longer if he was ruthless enough to him; that was his gentleness.

Without Urokodaki Sakonji's assistance, Ke Ling began to wield his sword again, continuing to hone his basics.

While others do 1,500 sessions a day, he does ten times that, focusing on rapid results.

Please help correct any typos, thank you!

Chapter 72 Is this for real?!

"Don't stretch your arms too straight or too bent. Don't tuck your elbows in or throw them. The stance should be firm, but not too rigid!"

In the open space in front of the wooden house, Ke Ling tapped Kamado Tanjiro with the scabbard, while Kamado Tanjiro looked utterly hopeless.

I don't understand! I don't understand at all!

It is now their third day here in Urokodaki Sakonji.

On the first night, Tanjiro Kamado dragged his exhausted body through the ordeal of descending from Mount Sagiri. The traps set by Sakonji Urokodaki left him covered in wounds.

So during the first day, he didn't wake up until dinner time.

Over the course of that night and day, Ke Ling swung his knife 25,000 times and slammed it on the ground thousands of times, gradually solidifying his foundation.

That evening, Tanjiro Kamado witnessed Mr. Korin's efforts; aside from occasionally gnawing on his own fingers to satisfy his appetite, Mr. Korin basically never put down his knife.

That night, Tanjiro Kamado continued to recover his body, and the next day, his training continued with going up and down the mountain.

Mount Sagiri is not short, and the air on the mountain is extremely thin, which is unbearable for most people. Fortunately, Tanjiro Kamado has lived on the mountain and has the physique of a mountain dweller, so he was able to barely adapt.

The purpose of making Tanjiro Kamado go up and down the mountain was twofold: first, to train his lung capacity and familiarize him with controlling his breath, learning how to achieve maximum effect with minimal breath; and second, to train his sense of smell, making him try to detect the scent of traps, and if he couldn't identify them, he would have to suffer the consequences of the traps.

This training was tailor-made by Urokodaki Sakonji based on this talent. Children who do not have the talent of smell could really die in the traps he sets if they do this training.

The main reason why Urokodaki Sakonji didn't let Koling undergo this training was that Koling lacked a talent for smell. Of course, the fact that the trap posed no threat to him was also one of the reasons.

The next day, Tanjiro Kamado practiced going up and down the mountain all day. He was exhausted by evening. After returning home and having dinner, he still had to study his academic subjects. After class, he quickly went to rest.

Before turning off the lights and going to sleep, Tanjiro Kamado saw Mr. Korin still wielding his sword in the open space, the moonlight shining on him and his sword.

On the third day, Tanjiro Kamado continued practicing going up and down the mountain until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Urokodaki Sakonji called him back, threw him a sword, and had him do the most basic sword-wielding training.

Ke Ling, who had only been practicing for three days, became his teacher, responsible for guiding him on how to perform the most basic knife-swinging training.

Ke Ling never expected that the role reversal would come so quickly; now he was the one constantly saying "just right."

"Swing it a thousand times first."

After correcting Tanjiro Kamado's various mistakes, Ke Ling assigned homework, as instructed by Sakonji Urokodaki.

"Yes, Mr. Ke Ling."

Tanjiro Kamado's expression was serious. The power of role models is boundless, and Korin was his role model, constantly inspiring him.

"Ke Ling, come here for a second."

After instructing Tanjiro Kamado, Ke Ling was about to continue his own training when Sakonji Urokodaki's voice came from inside the wooden house.

"Okay, here we come."

Ke Ling sheathed his sword and entered the wooden house. Urokodaki Sakonji sat at the table, holding a mask in his hand, looking like a fox.

"Here, take this. It's a fox mask to ward off misfortune."

Urokodaki Sakonji handed the fox-face mask in his hand to Ke Ling.

The face is that of a standard fox, except that where there should be three whiskers on the cheek, three scarlet bloodstains are carved into it, with a silver background, because the silver fox symbolizes the night and the moon.

"Don't you need to wear a mask to cover your mouth and nose during the day? So I made a mask for you, it can bring you good luck."

Urokodaki Sakonji explained that he has excellent woodworking skills and completed the mask in a short time.

Thank you for your trouble.

Ke Ling was taken aback for a moment, then took the mask. There were many small fox wood carvings and fox masks in Urokodaki Sakonji's room. He guessed that the old man should have this kind of craftsmanship, but he did not expect that Urokodaki Sakonji would make one for him.

[Obtain special item: Disaster-averting Fox Mask]

[Disaster-averting Fox Mask: Luck +01]

However, what surprised Ke Ling even more was that the [Limit System] actually reacted after he took the fox mask.

No?! You're serious?! "Bringing good luck" isn't just a lucky phrase after all?!

But isn't +01 luck a bit too little?

Furthermore, where does this luck stat come from? It's not even listed in the six dimensions; is it a hidden attribute that can't be seen?

Ke Ling glanced at the system panel and saw that there was no "luck value" option, but there was an additional "items" option.

Goodness, now I really have no choice but to wear it. Even a small mosquito is still a bite.

Although 01 may seem insignificant, it might make the impossible possible, or it might be able to achieve a breakthrough from a probability of 0 to a probability of 01.

"In our culture, foxes symbolize good fortune and luck, and are often used in divination and sacrificial rites. Wearing a fox mask can help one better seek the protection and guidance of the gods."

Urokodaki Sakonji made this warding-off-disaster fox mask for Ke Ling not on a whim, but because he felt it was necessary.

The fox mask for warding off disasters is often worn in sacrificial sites to communicate with the gods. If Ke Ling, who is favored by the gods and Buddhas, wears it, it may help him receive the guidance of the gods more effectively.

"Thank you, I will always keep it with me."

As Ke Ling spoke, she took off her mask and put on the fox-face mask, which fit perfectly and was very comfortable to wear.

Urokodaki Sakonji's craftsmanship is indeed remarkable. He didn't take Ke Ling's measurements, but the mask fits her perfectly.

"Whatever you like is fine. The favor of gods and Buddhas is unpredictable. We just need to firmly follow the direction guided by gods and Buddhas."

The shrine priest said that if the Ubuyashiki clan wanted to break the curse, they had to destroy the Demon King. This was the guidance left to them by the gods and Buddhas.

Since then, the Ubuyashiki family has never given up or changed their goal, steadfastly following the guidance of the gods.

Urokodaki Sakonji thought that Ke Ling was able to receive the favor of the gods because he also bore certain responsibilities.

"Uh, I understand."

Ke Ling nodded. No gods or Buddhas guided him; he simply followed his own heart, which was more reliable than any divine guidance.

"Okay, I'll start teaching you breathing techniques tomorrow."

Seeing Ke Ling put on the calamity-averting fox mask, Urokodaki Sakonji felt quite gratified. Ke Ling's mind was already mature enough that he didn't need to teach him at all, and this was one of the few things he could help with.

The next update will probably be quite late~~~ I'm drenched in sweat.

Chapter 73 Breathing Technique

"The breathing technique I've mastered is water breathing, one of the five basic breathing styles derived from the initial breathing technique."

In the open space in front of the wooden house, Urokodaki Sakonji, wearing a tengu mask and holding a sword, swung the sword once as he spoke.

With just a casual swing, Ke Ling felt something different; it was as if the blade was carrying a stream of water.

Of course, this is just a feeling; in reality, there are no special effects on the blade, only a kind of "momentum" like flowing water.

"Compared to other breathing techniques, water breathing is the gentlest and easiest to master. Over the years, the water column has never been empty. No matter how quickly someone dies, someone can always fill in."

Urokodaki Sakonji continued speaking, but his somewhat hellish remarks caused Ke Ling to fall silent for a moment.

Good grief, is there a shortcut for your Water Breathing technique? Is it some kind of basic version?

There is no strong or weak distinction between breathing techniques; the best one is the one that suits you.

Seemingly noticing Ke Ling's confusion, Urokodaki Sakonji offered an explanation.

"What about the initial breathing? There's no distinction between strong and weak; it must refer to these derived breathing techniques, right?"

Ke Ling raised a question: "The 'starting' breath gives rise to other breaths, which sounds very domineering."

His question left Urokodaki Sakonji speechless.

"The initial breathing is naturally different; it is a powerful force that is difficult for modern people to understand. Unfortunately, it has been lost because no one has been able to pass on the initial breathing technique."

After a moment of silence, Urokodaki Sakonji sighed. Sometimes, being too exceptionally talented isn't necessarily a good thing.

Because those who succeed him in the same era and the next may not even be able to reach the height of his feet, let alone inherit his legacy.

"Forehead"

Upon hearing Urokodaki Sakonji's words, Ke Ling immediately thought of Kamado Tanjiro. Without a doubt, this Initial Breathing technique was definitely prepared for that child; it was obvious without even thinking.

A powerful force that existed in the background to fight evil spirits has been lost. This must be a cheat code prepared for the protagonist!

Ke Ling originally thought that Tanjiro Kamado's nose was his cheat, but since Sakonji Urokodaki also has a similar ability, the value of that cheat suddenly decreased.

Now another one has popped up called "Start Breathing," which can only be used by the founder and cannot even be passed down. The only option is to use the derivative, low-end version.

Goodness, without a doubt, this is for the main character.

I just don't know if I can learn this initial breathing technique?

Ke Ling thought to himself, "And what about Tanjiro Kamado now? I need to find an opportunity to ask him indirectly."

Anyway, given Tanjiro Kamado's personality, if he wants to learn, this kid will definitely be willing to teach him, as long as he can learn it.

"Let's go back to the breath of water."

After reminiscing about the "initial breathing" incident, Urokodaki Sakonji brought the topic back to the present.

"The breathing of water is suitable for those who are free from distractions, calm and composed, and whose inner world is as still as water."
