Infinite: Start as a ghost

Although he was somewhat impetuous, he was well aware that creating a branch of derivative breathing was not so simple and would require a lot of time and effort.

As the days passed, Jiang Jiu continued to ponder, becoming completely absorbed in meditation.

Xingming's image lingered in his mind, and he couldn't help but compare him to the others.

The scene of Gyomei and Rengoku Kyojuro's battle.

The scene of Gyomei fighting against Shinazugawa Sanemi.

The scene of Gyomei's battle with Urokodaki Sakon.

The scene of Gyomei fighting against Giyu Tomioka.

The scene of Gyomei fighting against Kuwajima Jigoro.

One by one, the Pillar-level personnel who had fought Jiang Jiu appeared, except for Xingming.

For some reason, the last image that appeared in his mind was that of Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

A long, long time passed, and he became completely immersed in his fantasy, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

In his thoughts, he constantly clashed with everyone, while Ubuyashiki offered various forms of comfort and advice, continuously strengthening and enriching his inner self.

He fought against one opponent after another, with Heimyo no Gyoumei becoming his final adversary.

His battle with Xingming was exceptionally fierce, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

He felt himself getting stronger, and Xingming also grew stronger step by step according to his strength.

The two continued their battle without stopping, unable to determine a winner.

Over time, he forgot the moves and gradually began to swing his knife based on instinct.

In reality, his fighting spirit suddenly surged, and the intense fighting spirit actually caused damage to the nearby training equipment.

In his imagination, his movements became more and more in sync with Xingming's, every move and stance perfectly matching the opponent's attack.

"Breath of Rock, Form One, Serpentine Rock, Bipolar..."

"Type One: Twin Dragons Swimming in the Land..."

"Breath of Rock, Second Form, Sky Shattered..."

"Type II: Earth-shattering cataclysm..."

"Breath of Rock, Form Three, Skin of Rock Body..."

"The Third Form O Earth Blessing Wheel..."

"Rock Breathing, Type Four, Rhyolite, Rapid Sign..."

"Type 4 O Crazy Rock Flow..."

"Breath of Rock, Fifth Form, Tile Wheel Punishment Department..."

"Type 5 o Superrock Heavy Earth-lying..."

Unbeknownst to her, Jiang Jiu used a strange move.

He had no idea how these moves came about, nor why he was calling out their names.

I have no idea where these move names come from.

He subconsciously called out the names of the moves, matching each of Xingming's skills to one of them.

Xingming's actions became faster and more domineering.

Jiang Jiu's moves became increasingly skillful and fluid.

The exchange between the two became increasingly intense.

"Type 6 o-cut back..."

Finally, Jiang Jiu used the Sixth Form to end the battle.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki said "happily": "Congratulations, you have completely mastered your unique breathing technique."

Before Jiang Jiu could speak, one fantasy after another slowly faded from his mind.

"Huh?" Jiang Jiu was stunned: "Was I just hallucinating?"

"Really? Mr. Oni finally succeeded! Congratulations!" Makiko offered her heartfelt congratulations.

Yu Sui o Tianyuan said excitedly, "Well, it's time for us to have a magnificent battle."

The young crane, always eager for excitement, shouted: "All of you, charge! Let's fight! Yay!"

Suma didn't speak, his expression was slightly complicated, and he was able to perfectly express both excitement and worry at the same time.

Even if Jiang Jiucheng became the Ghost King, he probably wouldn't have been able to learn this skill.

The five arrived at the training ground, and Jiang Jiu looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, I've damaged your training ground quite badly."

"Hahaha." Yu Sui o Tianyuan laughed: "It's alright, we often cause trouble because of our cultivation."

"Besides, we're about to have a spectacular battle, which will definitely cause some damage."

"What does a little destruction matter if people live a luxurious life?"

"Let's wreak havoc once again!"

He drew his ninja sword again, which was also his Nichirin Blade.

Jiang Jiu also drew his Nichirin Blade. The previous blade had long been returned to Urokodaki Sakonji, and the one in his hand now truly belonged to him.

"Give it a try."

"Type One: Double Dragons Swimming on the Ground." Jiang Jiu took the initiative and used the first move.

Two "earth dragons" rapidly extended from the ground and swam towards Yu Sui O Tian Yuan.

Yu Sui o Tian Yuan remained calm and composed, handling the situation with ease.

"Sound Breathing O First Form O Boom..."

The two blades slashed down at the ground simultaneously, and the immense force caused a small explosion on the ground, abruptly halting the "twin dragons'" momentum.

His explosion startled Jiang Jiu: "Hey, hey, hey, isn't that a bit unfair? You can make the ground explode just by using your strength?"

"Hahaha, such a spectacular explosion, of course, is because I brilliantly used the bomb!"

Jiang Jiu was slightly surprised: "Ubuyashiki said you are a weapons master, and it is indeed true. You can use the bomb so perfectly even when it is so close to you."

"Is that so? Is that how the magnificent lord describes me? Ah, what a magnificent compliment."

"Don't get cocky, watch out for my next move."

"Type II: Earth-shattering cataclysm..."

Yu Sui O Tianyuan used a bomb to cause an explosion on the ground, and Jiang Jiu's move truly caused a violent tremor throughout the earth just by the force of the explosion.

Yu Sui o Tian Yuan had not expected Jiang Jiu's attack to be so strong, and was caught off guard, losing his footing.

He quickly jumped into the air to avoid the violently shaking ground.

Normally, Jiang Jiu could use the Breath of Wind to attack, which would have a high chance of ending the battle directly.

But he wanted to try out the new derivative breathing combat technique, so he didn't take the opportunity to strike.

However, Yu Sui O Tengen did reveal a weakness: he couldn't use the Breath of Wind, but he could still continue to attack with the new breathing technique.

"Fourth Form O Crazy Rock Flow!" Jiang Jiu roared, raising his knife and charging forward.

In desperation, Yu Sui o Tian Yuan could only use a wide-range attack to force Jiang Jiu back.

"Sound Breathing, Fourth Form, Sound Slash, Unending..."

Using his breathing technique, he quickly used the bomb to cause explosions around him.

However, as good as the idea, how could Jiang Jiu be so easy to deal with?

His sword technique was forcibly changed from the fourth move to the third move midway through.

"The Three-Type Earth Blessing Rotation".

He swept away the debris and smoke from the explosion, completely exposing Yu Sui O Tengen's figure.

"What..." Before he could even be surprised, Jiang Jiu launched another attack.

It was the fourth move he hadn't used before, and now he used it again.

"Type 4 O Crazy Rock Flow..."

However, although Jiang Jiu's attacks were continuous, Yu Sui Tian Yuan's previous moves also played a little role.

He barely had a little time to react, and he forced himself to take a large step back.

"As expected of a ninja, he actually managed to dodge my attack even in this situation."

Yu Sui O Tengen dodged, but not completely.

At this moment, the fact that his calf was bleeding profusely indicated that he had been attacked.

"Stop it. I've already tested the power of my new skill," Jiang Jiu said.

Yu Sui O Tengen laughed and said, "Is this your unique new breathing technique? It is indeed very strong."

"But I still want to fight. I haven't even used my strongest move yet. I'm not going to accept being at a disadvantage like this. Although it's not a very elegant thing to do, my pride won't allow me to admit defeat."

"Let's unleash our strongest moves and decide the outcome in one strike."

Jiang Jiu nodded: "Okay, I also want to try and see how far I can go."

The two began to gather their strength, each preparing their strongest skills.

A few seconds later, as Hinatsuru, Suma, and Makiko watched nervously, the two rushed forward simultaneously, using their last bit of strength.

"Sound Breathing O Fifth Form: Resonant String Melody..."

"Type 6 o-cut back..."

There was no violent impact, only a brief interaction between the two people.

After interacting, the two stopped.
