Demon Slayer: After raising Shinobu, I died in front of her.

But asking for help is equally unsightly and not flashy at all!

Just as he was struggling with this dilemma, Sanemi, who was fighting Kanae not far away, noticed the battle taking place here.

"Uzui, I'm here to help you!" Sanemi suddenly swung his sword, forcing Kanae back, and turned to go and support Uzui Tengen.

However, Kanae's figure swayed as lightly as a flower petal, instantly appearing behind Sanemi: "Junior brother, where are you going? If you don't take this seriously, you'll be the first to lose."

"What a joke!" Sanemi gritted his teeth and turned around abruptly to respond.

Seeing this scene on the field, Ling Chuanche frowned.

This won't work.

His original intention was to make everyone feel despair through this sparring, to squeeze out their true strength, and preferably to put them in a desperate situation. But now it seems that apart from Yu Sui Tian Yuan being forced into a desperate situation, everyone else just treats this as a simple sparring match.

That won't do.

"From now on, the rules will change. Xingming and Tianyuan will be in one group, and the rest of you four will be in another group!"

Ling Chuanche's calm voice suddenly rang out, and the movements of the people fighting on the field stopped at the same time.

Sabito and Giyu reacted the fastest. They exchanged a glance, and a sharp smile appeared on Sabito's lips.

"In that case..."

"Water Breathing - Third Form - Flowing Dance!"

"Water Breathing - Second Form - Waterwheel!"

As expected of fellow disciples, Sabito and Giyu simultaneously turned and attacked Himejima Gyomei and Uzui Tengen, dodging each other's blades and using the most suitable techniques to coordinate their attacks!

"Wind Breathing - Seventh Form - Gale - Tengu Wind!"

"Breath of Flowers, Second Form: Dance of the Hydrangeas!"

Another pair of senior and junior students followed closely behind.

Four fierce attacks, like a sudden storm, rushed towards Beimingyu Xingming and Yusui Tianyuan simultaneously.

Uzui Tengen's pupils constricted sharply. So all four of you were just playing around, huh?

Fighting with your fellow disciples is just sparring, but now you're taking it seriously when you start fighting him?

"Xingming, catch!" Not far away, Ling Chuanche flicked his wrist and accurately threw a specially made weapon to Xingming Beiming.

That wasn't an ordinary wooden sword, but a custom-made weapon modeled after his original Nichirin Blade.

A thick iron chain pierced through a boulder, revealing itself to be a real meteor hammer!

As soon as he got his hands on the heavy meteor hammer, a compassionate smile appeared on Gyomei Himejima's face.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!"

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

With a sudden stomp of his feet, Beimingyu Xingming's massive body stood like an unshakeable mountain blocking the way for everyone.

Faced with the overwhelming attack, he neither dodged nor evaded, but chose to take it head-on!

The huge rock seemed to lose its weight in his hands, and he swung it so fast that it was impossible to catch it!

A deafening roar exploded!

Four attacks simultaneously struck Ximing Yuxingming's meteor hammer, creating a surging shockwave.

Himejima Gyoumei's heavy body slid back several steps, but he managed to withstand the combined attack of the four people!

Kanae and the others' expressions changed simultaneously.

Not far away, Uzui Tengen's eyes widened, his barely suppressed excitement bursting forth: "It's absolutely gorgeous!!"

Is this what it feels like to be teammates with Gyomei Himejima? This feeling of being as safe and secure as a mountain...

"Tianyuan, I can't hold on any longer!" Beimingyu Xingming gritted his teeth and persevered, constantly being forced back by the subsequent attacks from the others.

Uzui Tengen grinned, gripped the two wooden swords tightly in his hands, and rushed forward in a dazzling blur: "I'll help you!"

Chapter 71 Back to Reality

Ling Chuanche felt like he was being superfluous.

His so-called guidance actually required him to do absolutely nothing.

Those who can become Pillars have a unique understanding of breathing techniques and moves.

He is better than them only because of his daily training and accumulated combat experience.

As the nominal instructor, all he needed to do was sit there and watch them fight and improve; he didn't need to do anything else.

At this moment, Lingchuan Tetsu sat quietly under the eaves, with Shinobu on his left and Kanao on his right.

Two disciples accompanied him.

"Master, do you think my sister and the others will win?" Ren asked.

"What do you think, Ren?" Ling Chuanche asked in return.

He intended to test Shinobu, after all, she was only one step away from becoming a Pillar, and her experience should be enough to help her understand the intricacies of the world.

Ren calmly analyzed, "Look at the current situation where the Stone Pillar and Sound Pillar are being suppressed by my sisters, but it will be very difficult for my sisters to truly defeat the Stone Pillar."

And most importantly, Mr. Sound Hashira is a ninja by training, but so far he hasn't used any ninja techniques; he still has trump cards up his sleeve.

"However, my sisters are probably still holding back; everyone is probably still testing the waters."

Hearing Ren's words, Ling Chuanche felt very gratified.

My disciple has grown up; he can actually see so much.

"Sigh... They're not mortal enemies after all, so it's a bit difficult to make them face despair through this kind of friendly sparring." Ling Chuan Che sighed.

That's too simplistic. While this kind of training can certainly help improve strength, the opponents aren't real demons. They can't fight without holding back, and nobody wants to actually hurt the other.

At this moment, everyone on the field also noticed this.

After several more rounds of attacks, the group slowly came to a stop.

"Let's take a break first," Ling Chuanche said, stopping the conversation.

The group walked over in silence, each drinking water to replenish their energy.

"Mr. Iwasaki is really amazing," Kanae exclaimed.

Four people against two, and although none of them used their killer moves, it was still quite embarrassing that they couldn't win in a four-on-two situation.

Everyone was silently processing the details of the battle they had just fought and reflecting on their own shortcomings.

Suddenly, Sabito looked at Lingchuan Che: "Senior brother, why don't you spar with us later?"

Everyone was taken aback, but Sanemi was the first to jump out and object: "What a joke! How can we team up if Master is sparring with us!"

“I can team up with my senior brother,” Yi Yong said calmly.

"What are you dreaming about, you bastard! If anyone's going to team up, it'll be me and Master!" As soon as Giyu spoke, he immediately drew Sanemi's fire. The two stared at each other, neither willing to give in.

Everyone else looked at Ling Chuanche.

Beimingyu Xingming's eyes showed some interest, and Yu Sui Tianyuan's eyes also flashed with excited fighting spirit. Clearly, compared to the sparring among themselves, they all wanted to try fighting Ling Chuan Che.

"Master?" Kanae looked at Ayakawa Tetsu, who was sitting there in silence.

Ling Chuanche was also weighing the options in his mind.

Let them spar with each other. Unless it's Giyuu and Sanemi fighting one-on-one, everyone is worried about seriously injuring the other and dares not go all out, which goes against his original idea.

“Alright,” Ling Chuanche said.

The eyes of everyone around immediately lit up.

"Can we see our senior brother make a move?!" Makomo clenched her fists, her eyes filled with excitement.

A smile appeared on Sabito's lips. The eyes of Uzui Tengen and Himejima Gyomei also gleamed with fighting spirit.

“However, we need to change our rules.” Ling Chuanche stood up and calmly walked to the place where everyone kept their Nichirin Swords.

He picked up the Nichirin Blade from the ground, turned around, and calmly said, "Next, I'll use this."

Everyone was taken aback.

Using a real Nichirin sword?

Is there really no problem with this?

The group hesitated, looking at each other, unsure of how to take the Nichirin Blade.

Wooden swords are for sparring, but Nichirin swords are for fighting to the death; a moment of carelessness could really kill your opponent.

"What, scared? Afraid to use it, afraid of hurting me?" Ling Chuanche looked at their expressions, understood their thoughts, and sneered, "Don't joke around, you don't really think you're strong, do you? You're just a bunch of kids. Did I give you confidence after I left for a year? You've started having such unrealistic fantasies."

Everyone's lips twitched slightly.

Qin Tu whispered, "How come I never realized Senior Brother had such a sharp tongue before!"

Ling Chuanche looked at everyone expressionlessly: "If you are afraid that I will be defeated and injured, then you can withdraw now."

All you have to do is shout 'I am the weakest pillar' and you can leave; I won't stop you.

Kuang Jin sighed helplessly, "Lord Cangzhu is really too humiliating."

As expected, Uzui Tengen couldn't stand the provocation: "Mr. Lingchuan Che, this time swords and spears really have no eyes, you'd better be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Sui Tian Yuan was the first to rush out!

His figure transformed into a blur, and in the blink of an eye, he was already close to Ling Chuanche, his twin blades whistling as they slashed towards Ling Chuanche's neck.

Of course, he used the back of the knife; he was still afraid of actually hurting Ling Chuanche.

Ling Chuanche's lips curled up slightly: "That's more like it."

The Nichirin Blade he casually picked up was Kuang Jin's Nichirin Blade, which he had just grabbed.

He casually drew his sword, the Nichirin Blade twirling in his hand, and the next moment he charged forward.

"Clang!"

Sparks fly!
