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

Urokodaki Sakonji was momentarily stunned.

Tanjiro Kamado's physique naturally determines that his opponent is very strong, but being strong is one thing, and being agile and fast is another entirely.

Although he is old and his strength is not what it used to be, he is still confident in his speed.

I never expected that the other party would keep up with me so well.

Could the young man before me truly be an all-around talent?

Little did Urokodaki Sakonji know that when Kamado Tanjiro entered the second stage, Lin Yu had already begun to consciously train Kamado Tanjiro's movement techniques.

Meanwhile, in regular combat training, the battles selected are basically those involving more than ten people.

Now, simply following Urokodaki Sakonji up the mountain is naturally incredibly easy.

"Mr. Urokodaki, have we arrived?"

Seeing that they had reached the summit and that Urokodaki Sakonji was no longer moving, Kamado Tanjiro couldn't help but ask.

The question brought Urokodaki Sakonji back to his senses, and he suppressed his excitement as he replied:

"We've arrived. Your goal for today is to walk up and down the mountain ten times, and each time you must be in a different direction. Start from the room you just left and end at where we are now."

"no problem."

Tanjiro Kamado nodded.

"Alright, you can handle these things yourself. I'll be waiting for you upstairs and downstairs."

Sakonji Urokodaki didn't plan to follow either, since at Tanjiro Kamado's speed, he would probably be exhausted after just two round trips.

Sometimes, aging really is humanity's nemesis.

Urokodaki Sakonji left with a sigh, and after confirming that Urokodaki Sakonji was truly gone, Kamado Tanjiro silently called out to him:

"Master, what should we do now?"

“His method is good. You can follow his method completely. However, I need to add 100 pounds to your weight. You need to increase the weight by 10 pounds every week. After you break through, the weight will be changed naturally.”

Lin Yu took everything in, and he was perfectly aware of the changes in Urokodaki Sakonji's expression.

Moreover, the other party clearly knew that Tanjiro Kamado had a good physique, so instead of simply testing Tanjiro Kamado with a trip down the mountain as in the original work, they tailored their teaching to Tanjiro Kamado's abilities, allowing him to deal with various unexpected situations.

For ordinary humans, this kind of training is certainly sufficient, and Tanjiro Kamado does indeed lack experience in this area at the moment.

Lin Yu readily agreed.

However, Sakonji Urokodaki ultimately did not know where Tanjiro Kamado's limits were, while Lin Yu, who knew where Tanjiro Kamado's limits were, would naturally squeeze out every bit of potential from Tanjiro Kamado.

At this moment, Tanjiro Kamado breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Yu's voice.

After all, it's only carrying 100 pounds, which he can easily handle.

But just as he was secretly feeling relieved, Lin Yu's voice drifted over again:

"You're getting ahead of yourself. Urokodaki Sakonji doesn't have any time requirements for you, but I do. I need you to complete these ten trips up and down the mountain within two hours."

Tanjiro Kamado's face stiffened upon hearing Lin Yu's words.

Then, in the next second, Tanjiro Kamado sprang up, searching for the weights around him.

Two hours was far too short for him.

……

Two hours later, Urokodaki Sakonji went to check on Nezuko and found that apart from not being able to speak, she was very emotionally stable and would look at him with a dazed and curious gaze.

At least Urokodaki Sakonji could not detect any hostility from Nezuko.

However, this still requires observation. He decided that during the time he was training Tanjiro Kamado, he would also conduct a comprehensive monitoring of Nezuko to thoroughly confirm whether Nezuko had any desire to eat people.

Well, the situation with Tanjiro Kamado is also quite troublesome, after all, his physical abilities are truly terrifying.

Now, as long as the opponent has the Nichirin Dao Sword, they should be able to easily kill ordinary demons.

Therefore, it is necessary to design more complex mountain situations to train the opponent.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Urokodaki Sakonji's lips.

It seems that this old man is going to have a lot of work done.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the doorway.

Then a figure walked into the room.

This was Tanjiro Kamado, who had barely managed to complete ten trips up and down the mountain carrying the load in the past two hours. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 254 In the Frozen Pool, Between Life and Death

When Tanjiro Kamado returned, he looked extremely disheveled. His hair, which had been neatly combed before, was now covered in tangled hairs, and his heavy clothes were covered in dust, dirt, and weeds.

He was breathing heavily, his lips were pale, and his face was flushed.

But just seeing Tanjiro Kamado appear there was enough to hold Sakon Urokodaki captive for several seconds.

Because Urokodaki Sakonji is a bit confused.

Although Tanjiro Kamado looked extremely disheveled, only two hours had passed!

Two hours!

If you consider the journey up and down the mountain as flat ground, two hours might not seem like much. But on Mount Sagiri, not only is the visibility low, but there are also traps set up by the mountain itself, and there are practically no blind spots. Without his guidance, it would be very difficult to get out. Yet, Kamado Tanjiro returned in just two hours.

This made Urokodaki Sakonji wonder if Kamado Tanjiro had actually made ten trips.

"Barely, I'll finish in two hours..."

Tanjiro Kamado's legs felt a little weak, so he walked over and sat down next to Nezuko.

Nezuko reached out and patted Tanjiro Kamado's forehead, her eyes filled with worry.

Tanjiro Kamado smiled:

"Nezuko, I'm fine. I'm really good now. I've solved 318 traps and come down the mountain!"

Three hundred and eighteen places?!

When Urokodaki Sakon heard this, all his doubts vanished.

He knew exactly how many traps he had set.

Tanjiro Kamado was able to name them all without missing a single one, which clearly means he had counted them beforehand, or even stepped on them.

Seeing Tanjiro Kamado playing happily with his sister, Sakonji Urokodaki felt a pang of guilt.

He actually doubted such a sincere young man.

He coughed and began to speak:

"Now that you've completed your mission, and it's getting late, you should get some rest. I've already made the bed; that room will be where you live for the next few years."

Urokodaki Sakonji pointed to the room next door.

"Thank you, Mr. Urokodaki!"

Tanjiro Kamado smiled earnestly, ruffled Nezuko's hair, and continued:

"Nezuko, we finally have a place where we can live for a long time."

Although the two-month journey was filled with training every day, Tanjiro Kamado still longed for stability. In fact, he was pursuing power in order to make his life more stable.

Nezuko stared with her big, bright eyes, nodded, and then her eyes crinkled into a smile.

Urokodaki Sakonji quietly watched the scene before him, feeling a strange sense of relief.

He vaguely recalled the time a few years ago, and the scene before him was so similar to what he had seen before.

If ghosts didn't exist, perhaps we could have watched that time go by for a very long time.

Urokodaki Sakonji did not disturb the two any further, and left the room, heading towards the mountain.

Afterwards, Tanjiro Kamado still needs training, so naturally the traps need to be rearranged.

He also needs to adjust the strength of the traps, otherwise some traps will be too easy for Tanjiro Kamado.

…………

Tanjiro Kamado's time immediately became much more fulfilling.

Previously, carrying heavy loads and rushing along the road could now be completely compressed into two hours.

Each time, Tanjiro Kamado had to exert all his strength to meet Lin Yu's requirements.

At the same time, in addition to more complex fist techniques training, Urokodaki Sakonji also began to teach Kamado Tanjiro the Water Breathing sword technique.

In addition, Lin Yu and Kamado Tanjiro found even more diverse training methods, such as standing in a horse stance under a waterfall that was tens of feet high, practicing punches while maintaining their posture on a towering treetop, or climbing on a smooth cliff without using any props...

Compared to Sakonji Urokodaki's training methods, Tanjiro Kamado felt that Lin Yu's training was gradually testing his limits and forcing him to surpass them.

Although the process was extremely painful, Tanjiro Kamado felt that he would make new breakthroughs and changes each time.

He grew stronger and stronger until one day he suddenly felt that he had come into contact with a barrier.

He had a strong feeling that if he couldn't break through this barrier, he wouldn't be able to move forward.

At this point, half a year had passed since he arrived at Mount Saguri.
