Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

The main reason is that he's extremely bored right now.

The miniature extraterrestrial demon had already died long ago. The substance in Nezuko's blood had an extremely significant effect on the extraterrestrial demon, causing it to die completely on the very next day.

Before Lin Yu could study much more, the extraterrestrial demon died.

"Can my sister turn back into a human?"

Tanjiro Kamado immediately tensed up, his brows furrowing deeply.

"You're mistaken. Ghosts are still a type of human being," Lin Yu said coldly. "It's just that their nature is to eat people. To put it bluntly, they are inherently hostile towards humans."

"So, there are also ghosts that are friendly to humans?"

Tanjiro Kamado seemed lost in thought.

"Whether it's a ghost or not is not important. What's important is whether those intelligent beings harbor ill intentions towards you. If you encounter those who intend to kill you, just kill them directly."

Lin Yu chuckled: "Sometimes people can be scarier than ghosts."

As soon as Lin Yu spoke, Tanjiro Kamado felt an intense killing intent rushing towards him.

Although he subconsciously disliked killing, Tanjiro Kamado felt that what Lin Yu said made sense.

"Alright, you'll encounter these things naturally later. The important thing now is that your first phase of training is over."

Lin Yu was naturally aware of Tanjiro Kamado's aversion to killing, but he didn't care, because some things can only be understood through experience.

For Tanjiro Kamado now, the most important thing is to increase his strength.

"it's over?"

Tanjiro Kamado was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that Lin Yu must have his reasons for doing this, the painful way he did it still made him feel uneasy.

Hearing Lin Yu say it was over, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

"It just means you won't have to throw punches anymore. The training will only get tougher from now on," Lin Yu said with a half-smile. "If you can't keep it up, you don't have to do it."

Upon hearing that things would become even more difficult, Tanjiro Kamado's expression stiffened.

But after a moment's thought, Tanjiro Kamado's gaze hardened. He looked at Nezuko, who had remained motionless after being patted on the head, and said firmly:

"No matter how hard it is, I will persevere. Revenge requires strength, doesn't it?"

Hearing Tanjiro Kamado's words, Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction.

After spending so many days together, Lin Yu naturally knew that Kamado Tanjiro had a pure heart, and once he made up his mind about something, he would be unwavering and do things that were true to his heart.

From a psychological perspective, such a person is naturally suited to martial arts.

"Alright," Lin Yu nodded, "After that, I will formally teach you cultivation. Before that, it was just Foundation Establishment, but after that, it will be real skills."

At this point, Lin Yu paused for a moment, and Tanjiro Kamado knew exactly what Lin Yu meant.

He immediately knelt down on the ground and shouted:

"Master, please accept my disciple's bow."

Lin Yu was very satisfied with Tanjiro Kamado's performance.

"Very good. I will tell you the specifics of how to do the training later. However, before the next training session, you need to prepare as much food as possible."

Tanjiro Kamado is still a teenager, at the age when he is growing. Now that the intensity of his training will be increased, he naturally needs to replenish his nutrition in a timely manner.

"However, after traveling for so many days, the money we brought from home is not enough."

Tanjiro Kamado was in a bit of a dilemma.

He didn't know how long it would take to get to Mount Narrow Mist. He had been careful with his money, spending it as little as possible each day. Now that Lin Yu had asked him to prepare as much food as possible, he was naturally running out of money.

"Don't worry, I have a way."

Lin Yu acted mysteriously, and Kamado Tanjiro didn't ask any further questions.

Soon, a deep sleep enveloped him, and he fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, the snow had stopped, but the snow was deeper, and the previous traces had been covered by new snow. It was dark, and I was hungry.

Tanjiro Kamado could actually sense that his appetite had been gradually increasing over the past few days.

He felt hungry every day while traveling, so when he heard that Lin Yu had a solution, he was naturally filled with anticipation.

He couldn't help but ask:

"Master, what about today?"

"We're not far from the next town. I'll take you to run some errands tonight."

Lin Yu's voice rang out right on time.

Tanjiro Kamado, unsuspecting, nodded and called out to Nezuko to set off with him.

The two disappeared into the vast snowfield.

…………

The snow fell again, and a cacophony of noise came from the town's gambling den.

But instead of laughter and joy, there were screams of agony.

A group of young people in town, burdened by huge debts and with nowhere else to turn, banded together and decided to attack the gambling den.

They stormed into the gambling den, vandalizing everything. When they saw anyone inside, they stabbed them with hoes and sickles.

The gambling den, of course, would not let the matter rest, and soon gathered a group of people as well. The two groups, totaling several dozen people, clashed and fought each other, resulting in a chaotic battle.

At this moment, no one noticed that two figures had quietly slipped into the chaotic battle.

"Master, are you sure there's no problem?"

Tanjiro Kamado felt uneasy in the face of such a chaotic scene.

"I'll be watching you. Just do as I say."

Lin Yu said.

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Tanjiro Kamado gripped his axe tightly. If he did as Lin Yu had just told him, it would surely lead to bloodshed.

“I know what you’re talking about. But as I said before, some people may not be human. What kind of good people do you think are fighting like this right now?”

Lin Yu said coldly:

"The people in the gambling den are ruthless. They have driven many people to their deaths in their pursuit of debts. These desperate gamblers have not only sold their wives for gambling, but now they are also going to commit murder."

"Everyone here has a way of dying."

"Although your goal is to seize the money in the gambling den, getting rid of these people can also be considered as ridding the town of a menace."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Tanjiro Kamado remained hesitant.

Just then, a gambler, having killed a gambling den employee in a bloodthirsty frenzy, looked around and spotted a complete stranger, Tanjiro Kamado.

He immediately brandished the long sword he had just snatched from the waiter and slashed at Tanjiro Kamado.

Tanjiro Kamado, who had his back to the gambler, didn't notice, but Nezuko, who was standing to the side, did, and kicked the gambler away.

The gambler coughed up blood and collapsed, but soon got up again.

He cursed and aimed his gaze at Nezuko, then swung his long sword at her.

Upon noticing this scene, Tanjiro Kamado immediately recalled the scene he had witnessed in his own home.

Hatred surged wildly, and with bloodshot eyes, his hesitant heart finally settled. He raised the hand axe at his waist and delivered a swift and decisive chop to his opponent's back.

Blood splattered as the hand axe was deeply embedded in the opponent's body, and blood splashed onto Tanjiro Kamado's face.

The gambler screamed and fell to the ground, quickly falling silent.

Tanjiro Kamado's mind went blank. He hadn't expected that a life could be lost so easily in his hands.

"See? This is the true face of these people. If you don't deal with him, you and Nezuko will both die."

Lin Yu said coldly, each word striking Tanjiro Kamado like a thunderclap.

He suddenly understood something.

Just like his own family, who are so gentle, he was also attacked by demons for no reason. Right now, he was just standing here, and the gambler was about to kill him and Nezuko.

He had realized that the people in front of him were the same as the ghosts that had inexplicably attacked his family.

To protect your family from harm, you must take the initiative!

Tanjiro Kamado was furious, but he remained even calmer.

He has now discovered that his movements have become much more agile after daily training, and those who have not undergone combat training appear clumsy to him.

In addition to what Lin Yu just told him.

He suddenly realized that dealing with so many people wasn't so difficult after all. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 249 Rest and Gazes in the Crowd

Tanjiro Kamado stared intently at the center of the chaotic battle.

The battle grew increasingly chaotic, with everyone fighting with real passion, each strike drawing blood.
