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

However, the experience of practicing various breathing techniques, coupled with the application of life skills such as [guidance] and [soothing], has led to a deeper understanding of these techniques.

In my opinion, my theoretical guidance ability is at least at the level of a Level 5 teacher trainee.

In the parlance of his time, he was a classic "fountain commander," all talk and no action...

No, they are instructors with sufficient theoretical knowledge.

Anyway, he felt he understood water better than Kazami and mist better than Ooyama.

However, the first step is not to directly raise the breathing technique level of the three people.

Whether it's improving physical fitness or refining swordsmanship, breakthroughs are always achieved through years of diligent practice.

There are no shortcuts.

However, one thing is certain: combat effectiveness can be rapidly increased in a short period of time.

That is real combat.

On this point, Xia Xi and Nikaido share a similar philosophy.

Clash with stronger opponents, fight against opponents with different styles, and engage in all-out battles in various extreme environments.

It can quickly realize the swordsman's potential and talent.

and so……

"I will only arrange two training directions for you."

"First, I will fine-tune the breathing technique for you based on my personal observations."

"It can probably reduce the load during full concentration and slightly increase explosive power."

"Of course, since this is a theoretical attempt, please let me know if you experience any discomfort."

At this point, he couldn't help but glance at the somewhat embarrassed Geng-rank swordsman.

"Oh, I almost forgot you can't concentrate fully."

Kojiro:......

Actually, I've grasped a little bit of the basics...

Xia Xi said, "Nanguang Gengtaro, you should try to master the complete collection first."

His planned adjustments cannot yet be considered the development of derivative breathing techniques.

The plan is simply to follow Uzui's example and simplify and adjust the original breathing method according to the physical characteristics and compatibility of the three of them.

Lower the level cap to increase cultivation efficiency.

It's essentially the same breathing technique.

Of course, it's a different story if they insist on giving the revised version of the breathing technique a different name.

Based on his observation, Kojiro, Nikaido, and their breathing techniques seemed to be a good match.

The reason why there is a significant gap between the two is that...

Ultimately, it's because Kojiro's talent is significantly lacking.

If skill compatibility is similar, effort values ​​are similar, and base stats are the same, then the only difference can be individual values.

As for persimmons...

When your level is low, it's not very clear.

Now that you've mastered all four breathing techniques, you can look back and notice the difference.

Her use of it lacked the fluidity and grace that water breathing should have.

My inner world is far from being at a state of "still water, calm and undisturbed".

It is clearly a battle tactic that combines softness with strength.

She mostly uses straightforward attacks like [Water Surface Slash] and [Water Wheel]...

There's strength, but no gentleness at all.

In this respect alone, it is not even as good as Kojiro's LV2 Water Breathing.

To be honest, he felt that persimmons might be more suitable for powerful and swift breathing techniques like fire or thunder than water breathing.

Xia Xi pondered.

In the future, when I have a deeper understanding of breathing techniques and am more familiar with the methods, I may be able to tailor a new breathing technique derived from water breathing for her to try out.

It's true that the system can only bind one self-created breathing technique.

But that didn't limit him from trying different construction methods.

What Xia Xi valued was the phrase "potential assessment" mentioned by the system when he was creating the derivative breathing technique.

There are no limits or consumption of uses.

This means that he can make various improvement attempts based on the characteristics of different people.

Through exhaustive exploration, a system with high potential was selected, and a more suitable breathing method was tailored for each individual.

For example, based on the rabbit and the persimmon, develop a set of "Breathing Methods of Rivers, Lakes and Seas" for each of them.

Of course, that happened much later.

After all, I am still exploring how to develop breathing techniques.

The LV.4 Thunder Breathing is still a bit lacking.

In the current training...

Xia Xi threw the things she had borrowed from Lan Zhu on the ground.

Clang.

Three heavy vests made of special materials landed and actually left shallow marks on the ground.

Xia Xi's sewing skills aren't particularly advanced, but she can still easily alter the size of those special training uniforms.

As for the size...

Having honed his [Insight] skills under the Lanzhu for so long, along with the eye-catching ability provided by the [Tailor] profession itself, his sensitivity to size has long since allowed him to estimate the size with remarkable accuracy at a glance.

The two male swordsmen picked up the weighted suits with some curiosity.

It looks like a vest, and the material feels comfortable, but...

"It's so heavy! What is it made of?" Kojiro almost dropped the vest because he couldn't hold it properly.

Dojima weighed it in his hand and said in a deep voice, "This one piece alone probably weighs as much as a full set of armor."

“With added steel plates, of course it’s heavier,” Xia Xi explained. “Each of yours weighs 30 kilograms, while Shi Zi’s weighs 20 kilograms.”

The two nodded and immediately put on their vests.

They assumed that the Storm Pillars were from a wealthy and powerful family, and that even their special training equipment was so elaborate, with someone even specially altering the dimensions.

But Shiko noticed something else.

How would other people know my clothing size?!

unless……

She looked at Xia Xi, who was still assigning tasks to everyone.

Did Xia Xijun specifically remember her measurements when she bandaged her wounds in the past...?

The girl felt her face getting hot.

I seem to have gotten a little rounder lately, I hope Xia Xi-jun hasn't noticed?!

"The second plan is practical application."

"As for the size, I have already adjusted it according to your body shape."

"Put on your weights and fight me from now on. We'll use all our strength, team battles, and one-on-one duels. I want you to fight me like I'm your enemy."

In short: train until you drop dead.

Their training was effective, and they gained a lot of experience points by grinding.

Xia Xi looked at Shi Zi, who was blushing inexplicably again.

I couldn't help but call out, "Yukizo Osamu, what did I just say? Stand up and repeat it."

The girl's shoulders trembled: "I...I love Marseille!"

Chapter 62 You three are the worst class I've ever taught.

After all three of them had put on their weights and gripped their wooden swords, Xia Xi had also finished warming up.

"Let's begin."

He moved his bandaged fist, casually picked up the wooden sword, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Let's test your skills today. Attack with wooden swords, don't hold back."

All three of them had witnessed Xia Xi's fighting prowess.

Naturally, no one would think that he would be much weaker without his Nichirin Blade.

Only Kojiro hesitated before asking, "Should the three of us attack together?"

After all, it was three against one on their side.

Xia Xi: "If you want to come up and fight me one-on-one, that's fine too. Commendable courage, Geng."

Kojiro shrank back.

They decisively retreated to the area between Dojima and Kaki.

The three exchanged a glance, and Dojima let out a low growl and charged forward, brandishing his sword.

【Full focus! 】

[Breath of Flame! Second Form: Ascending Blaze]

The fiery aura of Yan Hu erupted first, and the wooden sword, carrying hot air, transformed into a red blade that slashed towards Xia Xi.
