Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

The oxygen level under this waterfall is very high. Every breath is refreshing and invigorating. It's not oxygen poisoning, but a kind of refreshing feeling as if you are integrated into nature.

"Take your time to understand it."

Urokodaki Sakonji turned and left. He could tell that Ke Ling was getting into the swing of things.

This child doesn't need his care; even if a huge rock rolls down the waterfall and hits him on the head, he'll be fine.

He wasn't standing on it to show off or spout any mystical nonsense, but rather as a safety precaution.

The next update will be late again.

Chapter 75 The Lord Wants to See You

Tanjiro Kamado hasn't seen Mr. Koling for two days since he started practicing his breathing technique.

He asked Master Urokodaki, who only told him that Mr. Ke Ling was practicing asceticism.

Honestly, Tanjiro Kamado sometimes really envies Mr. Korin, envying the speed at which Mr. Korin trains.

He was still doing basic training, stumbling and getting injured every day, while Mr. Ke Ling had already begun practicing breathing techniques.

Although everyone started their cultivation at around the same time, their progress was completely different.

Of course, Tanjiro Kamado was also ashamed of his own thoughts, because Mr. Korin probably wouldn't be happy about it.

Mr. Ke Ling's cultivation speed is the result of relentless training day and night, and the pain of consuming his own flesh and blood. What he has endured is unimaginable to ordinary people.

If given a choice, Mr. Ke Ling certainly wouldn't want this, right? Just like Nezuko, she must have fallen into a deep sleep because she didn't want to accept the reality of becoming a demon, right?

Since arriving at Urokodaki Sakonji's place, Kamado Nezuko has fallen into a deep sleep and has not woken up for a moment.

Urokodaki Sakonji summoned the doctor he had been working with. The doctor said that there was nothing wrong with Kamado Nezuko's body. Although it was the first time he had treated a demon, he was able to confirm this.

Tanjiro Kamado was extremely worried. He was afraid that Nezuko would never wake up again, and he was afraid that he would lose his only remaining family member.

So he wanted to ask Mr. Ke Ling, who was a demon, if he knew anything about Nezuko's body.

After a day of training, Tanjiro Kamado descended the mountain. As he approached the cabin, a look of joy appeared on his face, for he could smell Mr. Korin's scent.

"Sword skills and sword techniques sound complicated, but they are actually just combinations of a few basic movements."

Upon arriving at the wooden house, Tanjiro Kamado heard the voice of his master, Urokodaki.

"I am back."

Tanjiro Kamado pushed open the door and, as expected, saw Master Urokodaki and Mr. Korin.

"You're back, Tanjiro. Let's go eat first."

Urokodaki Sakonji nodded to him. The food was ready and still warm.

"Tanjiro, I've examined Nezuko's body. I'm sorry, I don't know what happened either."

Upon seeing Tanjiro Kamado enter, Ke Ling said that he was truly powerless to help.

"Oh, thank you for your help."

Although disappointed, Tanjiro Kamado still sincerely thanked Ke Ling.

"Don't worry, Tanjiro. I believe this is a good thing. Think about it, if Nezuko keeps sleeping like this, at least she won't have to suffer the pain of wanting to eat people, right?"

Ke Ling offered a word of comfort, inwardly marveling at how unique Kamado Nezuko truly was. Did she use sleeping instead of eating people? How could she possibly sleep like that?!

"Thank you."

Koling's words made Tanjiro Kamado feel a little better. It's not a problem to say that; Mr. Koling has a lot of authority to say this.

For Nezuko Kamado, being awake was not necessarily more comfortable than being asleep; when she was awake, she had to endure the pain of not being able to eat people.

Tanjiro Kamado began eating, while Korin and Sakonji Urokodaki continued discussing breathing techniques.

After spending two days and two nights at the waterfall, Ke Ling finally grasped the basics of breathing techniques and officially entered the field.

During the day today, Urokodaki Sakonji also taught him all ten sword forms of Water Breathing, which means he has completed the initial mastery.

Water Breathing Lv1: A training method used by the Demon Slayer Corps. When used, it can improve physical attributes, increasing strength, agility, and constitution by +4.

The learned Water Breathing has been successfully transformed into a skill, but this is an "active skill" that needs to be used to take effect.

The attribute bonuses from Water Breathing are not as good as those from [Demon Transformation], but they are still quite considerable.

Even the most ordinary human can become a superhuman once they master breathing techniques.

Even a simple twist of the wrist by someone using breathing techniques can be unbearable for an ordinary person, and fractures are quite common.

Ke Ling now knows that some weak ghosts, when they are first turned into ghosts, may not have strength and agility that exceed the normal range of humans, and they have to rely on the immortality of ghosts to hunt humans.

But the Demon Slayers already possessed this level of power after just mastering the Breathing Technique. No wonder Mr. Urokodaki said that the Demon Slayer Corps only began hunting demons in large numbers after mastering the Breathing Technique.

This breathing technique is quite impressive. Judging from this, even the weakest member of the Demon Slayer Corps, a Rank 1 member, is probably stronger than an ordinary low-ranking demon.

Demons can become stronger by eating people, but this breathing technique also has the potential for growth, although it is certainly more difficult than demons becoming stronger by eating people.

According to Mr. Urokodaki, the highest level of breathing techniques is called "total concentration and constant centrality".

This is a state in which one can maintain full concentration and control over one's breathing even while asleep; this is essentially a "passive skill."

Mastering the "Total Concentration and Normality" state is the minimum requirement to become a Pillar. Not many people can reach this state; it requires a high level of talent.

Due to limitations in their talent, most of the Demon Slayer Corps members grow very slowly, and some even reach their peak right from the start, making it difficult for them to make any further progress in their breathing techniques.

While demons can grow stronger by eating people, they are also unable to progress due to the scarcity of the Demon King's blood within them, thus achieving a delicate balance between the two.

The Demon Slayer Corps has ten ranks and pillars: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and G. The demons also include commoners, demons who can use blood demon arts, lower-ranking demons, and upper-ranking demons.

Lower-ranking members kill ordinary mobs of demons, higher-ranking members kill demons who know Blood Demon Art, the Pillars kill Lower Moon demons, and as for Upper Moon demons, they kill the Pillars.

The Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps are the strongest fighting force, but they are replaced one after another and die very quickly, all because of the Upper Moon demons.

When the Pillars encounter Upper Moon Demons, few can even escape, let alone defeat them.

"Ke Ling, a reply has arrived from headquarters."

Inside the cabin, Urokodaki Sakonji spoke up, saying that the Kasugai Crow had sent a reply that afternoon, a little later than he had expected.

"Hmm, what did they say?"

Ke Ling paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "His story is bizarre enough, what will the Demon Slayer Corps' reaction be?"

"My lord wishes to see you."

Urokodaki Sakonji pondered for a moment before stating the final conclusion: the reason the reply was so slow was probably because the headquarters had been debating it for a long time.

After all, it's about seeing a ghost. The Pillars probably won't believe him based on just his word. It's likely that the Lord faced a lot of obstacles in making this decision.

"where do we meet?"

Ke Ling wasn't too surprised by the result, since it was unlikely they would meet alone anyway.

But whether or not to meet them was something he needed to seriously consider, since not everyone was like Urokodaki Sakonji or Kamado Tanjiro.

Does anyone play the Wandering Merchant? Are there still many bugs?

Chapter 76 Leaving

"Meet at headquarters, and someone will come to take you there."

Urokodaki Sakonji replied that he knew this might not be easy for Ke Ling to accept.

Because Ke Ling isn't stupid, he can definitely figure out what this means.

""

As expected, Ke Ling fell silent upon hearing this, clearly harboring doubts.

Tanjiro Kamado slowed his eating, realizing that this was something very important.

Moreover, this is not far off for him; his sister Nezuko may also face this moment.

Do you think they will believe me?

After a moment of silence, Ke Ling spoke up, seeking Urokodaki Sakonji's opinion, as this was extremely important.

""

Now it was Urokodaki Sakonji's turn to fall silent, because the outcome was hard to say.

Although Korin doesn't have a sensitive nose like him and Tanjiro Kamado, he doesn't want to deceive Korin.

Moreover, with Tanjiro Kamado here, it's not easy for him to deceive Ke Ling; Tanjiro Kamado is like a notary.

Given the relationship between Tanjiro Kamado and Korin, and Tanjiro Kamado's personality, once he deceives Korin, the outcome is inevitable.

Even if Tanjiro Kamado doesn't question him on the spot, he will definitely find an opportunity to tell Korin that he is lying.

"I think that with the lord's foresight, he would definitely believe you, otherwise this letter would not have arrived."

With a slight sigh in his heart, Urokodaki Sakonji chose to answer truthfully, as this was his true thought.

"But what about others?"

Ke Ling smiled and asked a question that Urokodaki Sakonji hadn't said aloud.

If the Demon Slayer Corps' leader truly possessed that kind of divinely inspired intuition, as if he could foresee the future, then he would definitely believe him.

He can now refrain from cannibalism and maintain his basic human decency, and he will definitely be able to do so in the future; Ke Ling is confident of this.

Moreover, while he could hardly be called a good person, he was definitely not a madman. If that lord truly possessed foresight, he certainly wouldn't have doubted him.

"That's right, the others in those pillars probably won't believe you."

Urokodaki Sakonji did not hide anything; based on his understanding of the Demon Slayer Corps, this was almost beyond doubt.

He didn't know much about Zhu now, but he figured his personality wasn't too different from his previous ones.

From his generation to the next, because he was active for a long enough period of time, he came into contact with a great many pillars.

Whether they have died in battle or are still alive, the Pillars generally have a deep-seated hatred for the demons; this is a common phenomenon.
