Chapter 328 The Bean That Turned into a Human

finally,

Originally, I only had enough reward points to buy two of the [Five Yang Crimson Pills] that Uncle Nine mentioned could undo the demon transformation.

With Uncle Nine's help, the same amount of effort was used to refine a full batch of five pieces for him.

The cost is,

Tanjiro's quest log now includes two new quests for collecting Yin-attribute materials.

If he fails to complete the task on time, his favorability towards [Uncle Nine's Mortuary] and Uncle Nine himself will drop to rock bottom.

The remaining reward points,

Not enough for direct redemption or to purchase new skills.

Tanjiro directly upgraded his [Water Breathing] to Lv.10 and bought an Enlightenment Pill to awaken the skill's attributes.

【Waves】: Damage increases by 20% when hitting consecutively.

Tanjiro now,

Their overall strength has surpassed that of ordinary Demon Slayer Corps members.

In the era when the Demon Slayer Corps was relatively weak hundreds of years ago, a Level 10 Breathing Technique was sufficient to qualify as a Pillar-level swordsman.

A blurry white light flashed by.

Tanjiro returns to Saagiri Mountain,

Tell your trainer everything about becoming a player in the cycle of reincarnation and carrying out a counterattack mission.

Rin-taki Sakonji.

"Really?"

Wearing the red demon mask, Urokodaki Sakonji looked shocked.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, instructed that any players experiencing reincarnation should be reported immediately.

These are the people who will be able to shoulder great responsibilities in the future.

I never expected that Tanjiro, whom I had high hopes for, would become the player that my lord had mentioned.

"Attack me!"

Urokodaki Sakonji threw out a wooden sword and looked at Tanjiro with a serious expression.

According to the lord,

There's no way to become a player; it's like being chosen by a god, completely unpredictable, and all you can do is pray silently.

If this is true, then the Demon Slayer Corps is truly fortunate.

"it is good."

Tanjiro did not refuse, which was the best way to prove that he was not talking nonsense.

A flowing aura emanated from him as he swung his wooden sword, appearing around his body.

Clang!

The next moment,

The two wooden swords collided, but the immense strength of their arms did not break them; instead, they emitted a low, metallic clang.

Urokodaki Sakonji opened his eyes slightly, revealing a look of surprise.

The recoil force transmitted from the wrist is extremely strong.

An ordinary swordsman would only assume that Tanjiro's arm strength had suddenly increased, or that he was naturally strong.

However, as the previous Water Pillar, he possessed extremely skillful and superb swordsmanship techniques.

Make a judgment in an instant.

The other party's physical condition remained unchanged, just as it had been before they disappeared.

The reason I could suddenly feel the increase in the other person's arm strength was all because of my rapidly improving breathing technique!

How could that be?

Sakonji Urokodaki was so shocked that his breathing became rapid.

As his trainer, Tanjiro was a swordsman he personally trained to prepare for the Demon Slayer Corps selection.

Although he acknowledged and secretly praised Tanjiro's outstanding talent,

However, in less than a year, even with Tanjiro's exceptional talent, he only barely reached the level of an ordinary Demon Slayer Corps swordsman.

How could such profound swordsmanship suddenly emerge?

Breathing of water...

Only those with a pure and calm mind can successfully cultivate this skill. Its characteristics are agility and defense, with defensive counterattacks that flow and maneuver like water.

As a breathing technique geared towards defense, it doesn't offer the same dramatic improvement in physical abilities as the Rock and Fire Breathing techniques.

Therefore,

Tanjiro's physical abilities suddenly increased dramatically.

This means that his Water Breathing ability has exploded in power within just two short days of disappearing...

He went directly from being an ordinary Demon Slayer Corps swordsman to reaching a level comparable to his own.

I am the previous generation of Water Pillar!

"continue!"

Urokodaki Sakonji steadied his breathing, and a faint white mist emanated from the bottom of his red demon mask.

His aura surged to its peak, and it turned out that he was a swordsman who had only been training for half a year for testing purposes. It was truly shocking no matter how you looked at it.

He swung the ten sword forms of Water Breathing without any hesitation.

Throughout the entire training ground,

It all seemed to be stirred by the constantly surging waves, and the sound of clear, gurgling water could be heard.

just,

Tanjiro, whom he considered his rival, was not overwhelmed by the relentless, flowing swordsmanship.

On the contrary, the two sides were evenly matched, and both stirred up waves.

even,

Although it's the same swordsmanship, Tanjiro's sword swings become stronger as the story progresses.

Like waves carrying immense force, each one stronger than the last...

Click.

Urokodaki Sakonji froze on the spot, his wooden sword breaking in his hand.

The red demon mask on his face cracked slightly, then shattered completely in two and fell to the ground.

If it were a Nichirin Blade or an ordinary iron weapon, he would have been beheaded by Tanjiro like a demon.

"Are you alright, teacher?"

Tanjiro looked worried as he gazed at Sakonji Urokodaki, who stood there dumbfounded.

He was somewhat annoyed by his recklessness, for not stopping in time. He felt bad that his teacher had been defeated by such a hothead of his own...

He was able to tell.

Level 10 Water Breathing, roughly similar to that of Professor Urokodaki Sakonji.

However, he possessed the attribute granted by the Enlightenment Pill, [Waves] which could continuously enhance the power of his swordsmanship under continuous attacks. Coincidentally, Water Breathing was also a continuous swordsmanship technique, so even Urokodaki Sakonji was no match for him.

"And finally... he actually managed to comprehend his own swordsmanship from the Breath of Water?"

When Urokodaki Sakonji's face was revealed, it was flushed red.

Not out of shame or anger at being defeated by a junior, but out of excitement, he exclaimed, "Tanjiro, you're strong enough to be the Water Pillar now!"

Embarrassed and annoyed?

Having a chosen one like Tanjiro is a blessing for the Demon Slayer Corps and the entire Demon Slayer continent. It is only natural that I failed, so why should I feel ashamed or angry?

Tanjiro, feeling a little embarrassed by the stare, blushed and said, "That's an entry..."

Being chosen by the gods is your talent; there's no need to belittle yourself.

Suppressing his excitement, Urokodaki Sakonji said, "I will explain your situation to my lord..."

"There's one more thing."

Tanjiro almost forgot, and hurriedly took out the [Five Yang Crimson Pill] that Uncle Nine had refined for him, saying, "This is a pill I obtained from the Samsara Game. It should be able to remove my sister's demon form and eliminate the demon blood left in my sister's body by the Demon King."

Five Yang Red Cinnabar

It is the size of a thumbnail and is entirely crimson red. Because it requires the collection of five kinds of yang-attribute herbs to be refined, it is named Five Yang.

"A pill that can remove demon blood?"

Urokodaki Sakonji had just taken out paper and pen when he almost thought he had misheard.

He fought demons for countless years and witnessed countless families destroyed because of Muzan Kibutsuji's blood.

No matter how strong and tenacious a person's will was during their human life, once they become a ghost, they cannot escape the control of the Ghost King and will eventually become a pure ghost that feeds on human blood.

For nearly a thousand years,

Countless people have thought about ways to turn ghosts back into humans, but all sorts of methods have been tried without any success.

It's like a locked-up fate.

Therefore, when he saw Tanjiro carrying Nezuko, who had become a demon, Sakonji Urokodaki didn't say anything, but deep down he didn't expect Nezuko to be able to become human again.

Able to control the urge to eat people,

This was something Urokodaki Sakonji had never heard of before.

right now,

Tanjiro actually said he had a way to turn demons back into humans?

Unbelievable!

"I want to give the first pill to my sister."

Tanjiro's tone was firm.

Everything he did stemmed from his hatred of demons and his noble desire to save humanity from their threat, but also from his determination to turn his sister back into a human.

"Let's give it a try..."

When Urokodaki Sakon spoke, his voice was a little hoarse.

Watching with bated breath as Tanjiro brought out a bamboo basket and carefully coaxed the bewildered Neneko to eat the pill, as if it were a candy.

"Awoo!"

The miniature version of Mi Douzi puffed out her cheeks, chewed twice, and then swallowed the pill.
