Demon Slayer: Can I add points to my Breathing Technique?

In Tianyuan's view, this almost obsessive "finishing blow" behavior could only mean that the other party and this ghost had a blood feud.

Xia Xi naturally couldn't explain it.

He simply went along with what the other person said and vaguely replied, "Ah, more or less."

The ninja carefully examined the young swordsman before him.

Yu Sui said, "Although it's not flashy, its skills are not bad."

"I am the God of Ninjas, Uzui Tengen. And you?"

God of Ninjas?

I'm Tezuka Hashirama.

Xia Xi frowned as he looked at this middle-aged man with a delusional mind. He thought of a ninja in a certain manga who could summon whatever he wanted with a clap of his hands and a shout.

At seventeen or eighteen years old, shouldn't she be a bit more mature by now...?

"I am a Special Jonin from Konoha Village, Kucha Natsushi."

Uzui: ...

That's made up, isn't it? He's never heard of a ninja village in the Far East.

Given the opponent's formidable strength, Yu Sui selectively ignored his nonsense.

He was a rather confident and proud person.

However, it must be admitted that Xia Xi's attack just now was far faster and more powerful than his.

He acknowledged the strength.

However, this Breath of Thunder inexplicably gave him a sense of familiarity.

He had seen a few swordsmen using Thunder Breathing in the Demon Slayer Corps, but none of them felt as familiar as the boy in front of him.

and many more? !

Could it be that this young man...

"Kucha, you didn't learn your Thunder Breathing Technique from that old woman, did you?!"

Old woman?

Which old woman?

Suddenly, I thought of a certain wheat-skinned, sharp-tongued female swordsman wearing an eyepatch.

He frowned and asked tentatively, "You mean that crazy old woman from Nikaido?"

As if they had clicked on some kind of radio wave, Yu Sui suddenly burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha, crazy old woman? Hahaha, she really is a madwoman! Your description is truly magnificent."

"I knew your wine gourd looked familiar."

Xia Xi: ?

Where is the glamour in this?

And he doesn't think Nikaido is that old, does he?

She's at most thirty-five or thirty-six; outside of the game, she's just a still-attractive lady.

Not to mention his exotic appearance with his mixed Japanese and European heritage, and his toned and shapely physique from long-term training.

In most movies, even if she's not the lead actress, she'd at least be a beautiful young actress or a martial arts actress.

"She's just a bit eccentric, I never said she was old."

Xia Xi looked at the Geng-level swordsman beside her and several NPCs with blank stares.

With a strong will to survive, he earnestly said, "And it's not madness, it's just a straightforward personality."

I hope that crazy old woman doesn't come up and chop me up one day.

No, even if she really came knocking on our door, she'd probably kill Yu Sui, that unfilial disciple, first.

"She's thirty-six, isn't she old?"

Yu Sui gave him a look that said, "Do you have some kind of weird fetish?"

Xia Xi then realized the era in which the game was set.

At that time, the average lifespan seemed to be less than fifty years, and people in their thirties were already considered elderly in the eyes of others.

"It's alright, junior brother. This magnificent god will not go and report to the cultivator."

How did he go from being the God of Ninjas to the God of Brilliance again?

Is this middle-aged person with delusions of grandeur because they've been suppressing their emotions for too long and it's caused a problem with their brain?

Xia Xi suddenly realized that compared to Uzui Tengen, Uchiha Giyu and Nikaido Mei were both easy to talk to.

"It's not because you tattle on me... it's also because I'm not your junior brother."

Yu Sui gave him an "I understand" look.

Isn't it because you're afraid that if Ms. Nikaido gets angry, she'll drag you into it too? As her fellow disciple, I understand.

Xia Xi: ?_?

Why do I get the feeling you're thinking about something strange?

The two walked together, chatting as they approached the swordsman Geng, who was already sitting against a tree trunk.

Unlike Xia Xi and others.

The injured Geng-rank swordsman, after a high-intensity battle, didn't have the strength to chat so leisurely.

Just sitting there without losing consciousness is already a huge challenge.

Upon seeing Natsumi walk up to him, Kojiro raised his blurry eyes.

Are these two seniors who came to my aid planning to say something to me?

I'm having trouble breathing, I just want to sleep...

"Open femoral fracture, tension pneumothorax, and numerous other open wounds..."

"You did your best. As a teammate of the AI, you did very well."

Are you talking about yourself?

My injuries were so severe; it seems this is the only way to end this...

Kojiro turned to look at the lumberjacks and their families who had not yet recovered from their fear. Among them was a little girl who was crying.

But this time, it seems I've successfully protected the others.

Although I'm a little unwilling, it seems not so bad...

Breathing is becoming increasingly difficult.

The Geng-rank swordsman felt his eyelids grow heavy.

Then he felt a warm hand press against his chest.

It's that senior who came to help... Is he saying goodbye?

Hey?

Why are you choking me and pressing on my wound?!

"I'm stronger, so please bear with me for now."

Click.

With the help of [Medical Skill LV.2], Xia Xi began to skillfully reposition his bones.

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

A moment later, Kojiro, writhing in pain, lay under the tree trunk, his body wrapped in bandages.

Fortunately, I can breathe normally now...

Meanwhile, Uzui Tengen silently watched as Xia Xi was brought back from the brink of death, having risen from nothing to something.

Although the other party was still very weak at this moment, he had already escaped the critical state where he might die at any moment.

My junior brother also has some decent medical skills?

"Junior Brother Jiuche, you must have practiced this technique for quite a while, right?"

As a ninja, Uzui also possessed some basic medical skills in emergency treatment of injuries.

But compared to Xia Xi's move just now, it was really much worse.

It's roughly the difference between an apprentice and a master craftsman.

What technique?

Xia Xi was taken aback at first, then realized that the other party was referring to her healing the swordsman.

It turns out they were talking about medical skills.

In reality, Xia Xi does have some medical skills, but her level is probably at the level of short videos and university first aid popular science.

But the game doesn't follow that principle.

After using the medical skills, all I have to do is select a treatment plan in the system panel and then frantically click around like I'm playing a mini-game.

Basically, after a match of Candy Crush, the opponent's injuries will become positive effects within the scope of your healing skills.

As for how long you practiced?

Xia Xi thought for a moment and said, "About ten days?"

I mainly leveled up during the time I spent in the Misty Mountain area.

We are grateful for the many creatures of nature that have made outstanding contributions to medical progress.

Uzui Tengen: (??_?)?

Are you sure the unit is days, not years?

Xia Xi ignored Yu Sui and instead greeted the group of NPCs who had been rescued.
