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

But Xia Xi's moves are not limited to this.

【Full focus! 】

Their bodies moved even closer.

But within this small space, the force from Xia Xi has begun to accumulate, resonate, and undergo a qualitative change!

Following his instincts, Xia Xi pushed forward a step with the force that had been compressed to the extreme, as if it were about to explode from his arm.

One-inch punch!

One-inch punch!

One-inch punch!

Give me a one-inch punch—

open!!!

In an instant, the punch that was unleashed was a strike from Xia Xi that exceeded his full strength.

It was also a powerful strike that brought him into the top 100 at the World Championships.

He recreated the art of boxing in this world.

It is the ultimate in strength, and also the pinnacle of skill.

Inch Punch - Heaven Opener!

boom!!!

It wasn't the clang of metal against metal, but rather like muffled thunder exploding at a very close distance.

That's a complete collection of skills far surpassing those of ordinary swordsmen!

A nearly doubled, tyrannical, and extremely concentrated explosive shock!

Igarashi felt as if he had been hit head-on by a battering ram!

What is that?!

Even his predecessors could not have foreseen this move.

Taken aback, he no longer held back.

【Breath of the Storm】

[Lu Zhixing: Qingshan Fufeng]

The Nichirin Blade, carried by the clear mountain breeze, spun and generated a great deal of skillful force, attempting to dissolve this terrifying power as if channeling a torrent.

but……

Ultimately, Igarashi changed his tactics too late.

Unstoppable.

The next second, he maintained a flawless defensive posture, becoming a fixed fulcrum in the face of this unpredictable violence.

Maintaining an elegant posture, he was slid backward by the irresistible force.

Finally, it flew off the ground and backwards!

The storm pillar deftly flipped in the air, constantly dissipating its astonishing force.

It finally landed steadily more than five meters away.

But the ground beneath his feet was quietly cracking with countless tiny fissures.

Chapter 51 Could he be the one in the rumors?

A silence.

He looked at his hands, which were slightly numb but still tightly gripping the Nichirin Blade.

Then he looked at Xia Xi, who was not far away, still in a punching stance and panting heavily.

My junior brother is actually this outstanding?

Igarashi Yuzuru slowly pushed up his glasses, which weren't crooked.

The gaze behind the glasses was filled with unprecedented surprise and scrutiny.

“I see…” he muttered to himself, then revealed a genuinely excited smile, “[Xianzhixian] did anticipate the power generation technique of your move.”

"But it underestimated its explosive power, and your total concentration."

“Jiu Che, your complete collection... is very different from others. It is probably almost twice as high as my highest estimate.”

He walked up to Xia Xi, his gaze intense.

"Perhaps practicing multiple breathing techniques has deepened your understanding of the essence of breathing."

"It's also possible that you've figured out the [logic] of technique and body balance."

"In short, very good! This is not something that can be achieved through hard work alone. Jiu Che Xia Xi, you may have unconsciously embarked on the path you want to take."

"Given time, you will surely become the cornerstone of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Perhaps..."

Igarashi looked at the somewhat distracted boy and shook his head with a smile.

"Perhaps you can even surpass our generation of 'old guys' and reach a realm that no one has ever reached before."

Xia Xi nodded somewhat blankly.

But inwardly, he was overjoyed as he looked at the system panel.

How long has it been?

My breathing technique improved significantly in just a few breaths.

The four breathing techniques combined are almost equivalent to half a month of arduous training, or the slaying of several powerful evil spirits.

Moreover, the proficiency in gauntlets, which was only 13% just now, has doubled.

It reached 26%.

Not to mention, two new life skills that are more combat-oriented have been added.

【Boxing Theory LV.0】NEW

Overview: The art of boxing is not merely the physical act of extending limbs, but rather the outpouring of spirit and intent.

Effect: Increases the effectiveness when using striking techniques.

【Power Consumption LV.0】NEW

Overview: When faced with overwhelming enemy forces, one sees it as a gentle breeze brushing against a mountain ridge, or the bright moon shining over a great river.

Effect: Increases the effectiveness when using recovery techniques.

But then again, can a skill that clearly enhances combat be considered a "life skill"?

understood!

It's martial arts!

It's a victory for martial arts!

While her mind was racing, Xia Xi turned her burning gaze toward Igarashi.

It turns out that my senior brother is actually a human experience pack with a high drop rate.

Igarashi: ?

I didn't manage to hit the other person in the head either.

Why does this kid suddenly look so silly?

……

Yokohama, a traditional karate dojo

The wooden floorboards vibrated dully underfoot, the smell of sweat mingling with the odor of old wood.

Five black belt instructors surrounded Xia Xi in a fan shape, their eyes sharp and their breathing steady.

This is a routine dojo training session.

It's not about defeating an opponent, nor is it simply about practicing being hit.

Instead, without using breathing techniques, one attempts to discern each person's offensive moves and combat logic.

"Please give me more advice."

One player on the left rushed in first, sweeping his leg like a whip in the low post!

When performing a sweeping kick in karate, the center of gravity shifts forward and the shoulder blades retract backward.

Therefore, the upper limbs will have significant weaknesses.

Xia Xi felt as if she could hear Lan Zhu's words during his teaching.

His mind was elsewhere, but he was quick to act.

He raised his knee to block almost the instant the man's shoulder twitched.

At the same time, he gripped his right hand like an iron claw, hooked it onto the opponent's collar, and used the force to throw him toward the second person attacking from the right.

A third person silently approached from behind and delivered a swift chop to the back of the neck.

Xia Xi did not turn around.

But in reality, they had already noticed the other party.

When launching a sneak attack, people subconsciously hold their breath. While footsteps will indeed be lighter, those lacking skill may actually cause the rustling of clothing to become more rapid.

He suddenly crouched down and spun around, delivering a precise back kick to the opponent's chest.

Naturally, they had stopped exerting their strength.

The teacher stumbled and fell to the ground.

This is not the power of breathing techniques, but rather the prediction and deconstruction based purely on "observational logic".
