Fairy Tail: I'm invincible when I receive anime characters!

Ding! You've received the Goddess's blessing! Your luck has increased by 100 points!

Looking at Miraqi Yan, he seemed to hear a system notification in his mind.

By the time Qi Yan came to his senses, Mira had already walked far away.

Qi Yan immediately opened the system interface.

[Should I do a 10-pull?]

The panel screen began to flash again, with streaks of starlight constantly converging in the starry sky.

Qi Yan prayed incessantly in his heart: "Gold! Gold! Gold!"

At that moment, a dazzling golden light shone.

Qi Yan was overjoyed: "It really produced gold!!"

Chapter 14 Yoriichi Tsugikuni

She truly is my lucky charm; she's incredibly supportive.

The scene continues, with ten shooting stars of various colors falling, eventually revealing ten character cards.

There are one gold, two blue, three green, and four white.

The character cards are revealed one by one, starting with the lowest level. The lowest level is white, which is often referred to as a "minion" or "lackey." These are the unlucky characters in anime who appear briefly, die, and whose names are forgotten.

The next level up is green, which is one level higher than white, but it's still a low-level rank.

Above green is blue, which belongs to the lower elite level. For example, the Chunin he initially drew might also be a character without any lines, but he still has some strength.

Above blue is purple, and this stage is already quite good. In Naruto, it would be equivalent to a Jonin level, and in One Piece, it would be at least a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million, or one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Above purple lies the legend of gold.

In Naruto, it's above the Kage level; in One Piece, it's like the Three Admirals or the Four Emperors; and in Bleach, it's like a Captain.

Soon, the last golden card was revealed.

Qi Yan's eyes widened in surprise: "It was him!"

The character card depicts a man dressed as a samurai, wearing a red haori, with long, deep red hair tied in a high ponytail, red irises, and paper earrings of red suns hanging from his ears. Most striking are the eerie markings on his forehead. He holds a long red sword and exudes a terrifying sense of oppression just by standing there.

The absolute pinnacle of the Demon Slayer anime.

Qi Yan has watched many anime. There are many powerful characters in anime, but there are always some who are the same or similar in strength to their opponents.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni is different; he is the absolute pinnacle of the genre. In fact, in the anime world, whenever the pinnacle is mentioned, the first character that comes to mind is him.

He possessed unparalleled talent from birth and created the Sun Breathing Technique. The five basic breathing techniques that followed were merely clumsy imitations. Even if many geniuses improved various breathing techniques and created their own, they could not even fall behind by a level, let alone surpass them.

The strongest boss in Demon Slayer, Muzan Kibutsuji, was instantly killed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni in one encounter. He barely escaped by self-destructing. After that, he didn't dare to show his face while Yoriichi Tsugikuni was still alive. He only dared to come out and move around after Yoriichi Tsugikuni died.

In the anime's finale, the entire Demon Slayer Corps ganged up on Muzan, using every means at their disposal, but still suffered heavy casualties. In the end, it was only the sunlight that killed Muzan.

Qi Yan had only one assessment of Yoriichi Tsugikuni: that he killed a god with the body of a mortal.

Compared to other anime characters who can easily destroy an island or a country, Yoriichi Tsugikuni obviously doesn't have that kind of power. But if you really stand face to face with Yoriichi Tsugikuni, even a god would have to be on high alert.

You may be able to destroy the world, but I can kill you.

Qi Yan tapped his finger lightly, retrieving all the characters except Ulquiorra and Yoriichi Tsugikuni. To prevent accidentally retrieving a golden legendary character, he carefully checked it twice. If he accidentally retrieved a golden legendary character, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Are you sure you want to reclaim all selected characters?

[Ding! Recycling successful! Host's magic power increased by ☆!]

"System, these are two blue elites! Why did they only increase my magic power by half a star?! Are you taking a kickback?!"

[The higher the magic star rating, the more difficult it is to improve. Everything is calculated. If the host wants to increase magic power further, they can recycle characters of higher quality.]

"you are vicious!"

The system still gave this official answer: only someone with a screw loose would reclaim a gold character.

Qi Yan opened his personal panel.

[Host: Qi Yan]

[Age: 18 years old]

[Race: Human]

[Magic Power: ★★]

[Magic: Receive Magic]

[Character Cards: Ulquiorra Cifer (Gold), Yoriichi Tsugikuni (Gold)]

"Full body takeover! Yoriichi Tsugikuni!!"

Qi Yan activated the receiving magic, and his hair began to grow rapidly. His clothes also began to change. In a short while, Qi Yan transformed into Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Except for his face, which was still his own, he was not much different from Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Qi Yan's mind was also filled with memories of Yoriichi Tsugikuni. From birth, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was different. The world he saw was different from others. He could use the Transparent World. People were transparent in his eyes. He could see the rise and fall of his opponent's heart and lungs, the flow of blood vessels and the contraction of muscles. He could also clearly understand the contraction of his own muscles, so he could easily predict his opponent's movements and greatly increase the speed of his attacks and dodges.

He defeated a well-trained swordsman on his first touch of a sword. Later, he created his own breathing technique and taught it to the Demon Slayer Corps after joining the Corps, enabling the Corps to fight against demons.

When he encountered Muzan Kibutsuji, he severely injured him with a single move, forcing Muzan Kibutsuji to self-destruct and escape.

Finally, he encountered his brother, Kokushibo, who later became Kokushibo. Ultimately, out of familial affection, he spared Kokushibo's life, wielding his sword before dying.

"Whew!!"

After watching Yoriichi Tsugikuni's memories, Qi Yan took a deep breath, but he was still deeply shocked.

He discovered that the anime portrayed him too conservatively; the real Yoriichi Tsugikuni was far more powerful than depicted in the anime.

This reminded Qi Yan of a saying:

Those who don't know swordsmanship see him as a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky, while those who do know swordsmanship see him as an ant looking at the blue sky.

You may be a genius, one in a million, but genius is just the threshold to meeting him.

Qi Yan began using the Sun Breathing Technique.

A powerful force suddenly surged within his body. This was not the kind of energy that existed, but rather a force derived from his physical attributes. He felt his physical attributes improving dramatically, while at the same time, his magic power was being rapidly depleted.

A short while later, Qi Yan deactivated his transformation and returned to his original appearance.

Qi Yan felt a strong sense of disappointment.

It felt like going from a super genius to an idiot.

My talent is far superior to that of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

At that moment, my body instinctively began to use Sun Breathing.

Huff! Sigh!

As he used the Breath of the Sun, Qi Yan suddenly felt his body filled with powerful energy.

Qi Yan was taken aback. Hadn't he already exited Yoriichi Tsugikuni's transformation state? Why could he still use the breathing technique?

When in doubt, ask the system.

"System, why can I use breathing techniques now?"

Chapter 15 Erza

[This breathing technique was created by Kuniyoshi Ichika. It does not require special energy; anyone with the aptitude to use it can use it. The host used the Sun Breathing Technique during transformation and therefore already possesses the aptitude to use it.]

"So, this means I can use Sun Breathing on a regular basis now?"

"Great!"

Qi Yan became even more excited after hearing this. If there was ever a time when he was at his weakest, it would undoubtedly be before he used the Receiving Magic.

For example, right now, he's a fragile character; if he gets killed before he transforms, he's doomed.

Moreover, he didn't want to unleash his ultimate skill on every guy he encountered.

He can't afford to have to transform and deal with just any low-level member from a dark guild who shows up.

Transformation consumes a tremendous amount of energy. If he has to transform to deal with enemies one after another, even with his high level of magic power, he simply cannot afford the consumption.

Therefore, his best approach is to become stronger so that he can deal with enemies without needing to transform in most situations.

When encountering something even stronger, so strong that he can't handle it without transforming, he then uses the magic-receiving abilities of anime characters.

Sun breathing can greatly improve a person's physical fitness. If you can achieve full concentration and constant focus, you can maintain the breathing technique 24 hours a day, and your physical fitness will become stronger imperceptibly.

Without hesitation, Qi Yan immediately sat cross-legged and began to breathe.

In no time, Qi Yan stopped, his face filled with terror and drenched in sweat.

"I can't do it at all, I can't do it!! Just one minute of concentrated breathing is killing me, it's so painful, my lungs hurt, my ears hurt, they're making a gurgling sound, my eardrums are... ahhh!"

Qi Yan slapped his ears hard with both hands, and after slapping them several times, he finally felt a little better.

"That really scared me to death! For a split second, I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my ears!!"

"System, what's going on? I was using the breathing technique smoothly just now! Why isn't it working now?"

[The host's physical attributes were based on the character card earlier; now they are based on the host's own. The host's own foundation is too weak, so it won't work.]

"Then how can I improve my own foundation?"

[1. Run 10 kilometers every day; 2. Do breath-holding exercises 10 times a day, gradually increasing from one minute to 10 minutes each time; 3. Use the Sun Breathing Method for 20 minutes every day.]

"It doesn't seem too difficult, so let's start tomorrow morning."

After taking a shower, Qi Yan lay down in his new home and had a good night's sleep.

The next morning, before the sun had even risen, Qi Yan got up early, dressed, and started running around Magnolia Town.

The sky was just beginning to lighten, and there was a slight chill in the air, making it perfect for running.

The 10-kilometer distance is roughly the same as the distance around Magnolia town.

Qi Yan finished the run in about 30 minutes, which was much faster than before. He used to run 10 kilometers in about an hour. It seems that his physical fitness has improved a lot without him realizing it since he transmigrated.

Next is the breath-holding training, which is very simple. Just find a large basin of water, bury your face in it, and hold your breath for as long as possible. Qi Yan tried it and found that his maximum breath-holding time was only one and a half minutes.

Finally, Qi Yan sat cross-legged in the courtyard and used the Sun Breathing Technique.

By this time, the sun had risen high in the sky. Qi Yan stood up and prepared to go to the guild. The Sun Breathing Technique was to be used for 20 minutes every day, not just once. Moreover, the breathing technique could be used anytime and anywhere, and the best effect was achieved when the body had had sufficient rest.

Just as Qi Yan stepped out, he saw Mira and Elfman walking over from not far away.

"Qi Yan!!"

Elfman waved to Qi Yan as soon as he saw him. Ever since their last mission together, Elfman and Qi Yan had become very close. Mira had helped Qi Yan join the guild and even helped him find a place to live. The two siblings were probably the two people Qi Yan was most familiar with in the guild.

Good morning, Qi Yan! How did you sleep last night?

Mira greeted him with a bright smile, and seeing her lovely smile instantly lifted Qi Yan's spirits.

“Great, thank you so much, Mira. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to find such a perfect house.”

"No need to be so polite. After all, you helped Elfman, so this is just a return gift."

"A return gift? I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. Why don't you come over to my house for a meal sometime? I'll cook it myself, as a housewarming gift."

"Hmm... I can't really refuse."

"Qi Yan, you can cook?!"

Elfman looked at Qi Yan with some surprise.

"Okay!"

Which Chinese man can't cook?

The three of them chatted as they arrived at the guild.

Soon after, people started arriving at the guild one after another. For many members, coming to the guild was like going to work. Even if they just laughed and joked all day and didn't do any quests, they would still come to the guild to "check in".

Eating, drinking, and having fun with friends is much more interesting than being alone.

After eating and drinking his fill, Qi Yan went to the job board and began looking for a suitable job.

He's not considering B-level missions for now; A-level missions, which have a higher priority, are his target.

Rank A missions are all commissions with a reward of 100 million J or more, and the vast majority of these missions are of the subjugation type.
