In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 99: Farewell and New Puppet Making

This is more than just the potential to become a pillar!
Morioka Tenri has been in the Demon Slayer Corps for nearly sixty years. Although he retired due to injury many years ago, he has never seen anything in the past sixty years.

But I heard about one some time ago, which was quite exaggerated.

And the one in front of me seems to be not much different.

"I heard some time ago that the new Kasumi Pillar went from being an ordinary person who had never held a sword to becoming a pillar that killed lower-rank demons in just two months. I was a little skeptical at the time, but now that I see you, I know what you said is true. It turns out that there are such geniuses in this world."

The old monk said with emotion.

"Master Morioka, you are too kind."

Qingshui shook his head.

Compared to the original character and his incarnation in the DC world, he is a shitty genius.

So Qingshui picked up the bamboo sword and tried again.

With the memory of the DC world incarnation as a foundation, the effect this time is two points better than the last time.

Morioka Nii was full of emotion again.

The progress is so obvious, if not genius, then what is he?
……

……

It only took Qingshui three days to learn all the moves of Wind Breathing.

In just one month, relying on the incarnations of the two worlds, he cultivated the full concentration breathing method of Breath of the Wind to a very good level.

By using chakra and breathing techniques, Shimizu was able to fight Morioka Niru for three moves without a clear winner - because the latter could only use three moves when he was using all his strength.

According to Morioka Nen, those three moves can have 70% of the power of his peak period.

Qingshui was quite satisfied with his current strength.

This body has only been cultivating chakra for a relatively short time, and combined with the breathing method he just learned, it can have 70% of the strength of a Class A swordsman. In the Demon Slayer Corps, it is already a high-end combat force below the Pillars.

Next, you just need to continue practicing chakra, and let the Qingshui in the other two worlds take time to study the Breathing of Wind in depth and share their experience.

It is not enough to just absorb the experience of the original body and the DC incarnation. He needs to undergo sufficient training to digest this experience and allow the body to develop muscle memory and remember these things.

This can only reach a level close to the original body or the DC incarnation at best. It is not impossible to surpass it, but you have just gone through a long period of hard training to make the next step forward. The other two bodies may be able to reach this level in a short time relying on their abilities and talents.

What Shimizu in Demon Slayer World needs to do next is to integrate the moves of Wind Breathing, improve his swordsmanship, and at the same time strengthen his physical fitness to cooperate with the practice of Wind Breathing.

Until you can maintain full concentration breathing at all times, whether you are sitting, standing, walking, or even sleeping, you can breathe uninterruptedly for 24 hours a day.

This state is called Total Concentration and Constant Moderation, and it places very high demands on a person's cardiopulmonary function and other comprehensive physical qualities.

If an ordinary swordsman wants to have strength close to that of a pillar, the best way is to master the Full Concentration and Constant Highlights.

Basically, the A-class swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps have mastered the techniques in the Complete Collection.

Apart from the Complete Works·Jochuchu, Morioka Nishi has nothing else to give to Shimizu.

It's time to say goodbye.

"Master Morioka, thank you for your careful guidance during this period."

In front of the gate of Tateyama-ji Temple, Shimizu, carrying his luggage, bowed to Morioka.

"Amitabha, Qingshui-kun is extremely talented. I am just an old monk with a gray beard who is about to die. I can't give you much guidance. I hope that Qingshui-kun can be successful in the selection at Mt. Tengxi in a month, and then kill the evil spirits and protect the world." The old monk put his palms together and chanted the Buddha's name to Qingshui.

"By the way, this is a little money for the incense offering. I hope you won't refuse it."

Qingshui took out a small hand from his pocket.

This is a check from the Meiji and Taisho eras.

"This... is too much."

Morioka looked at the number on the small hand and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Oh, it's okay. You know, I have a lot of money. This is just my monthly pocket money. I think the building of Ritsuyama Temple is very old and needs to be repaired. It needs this money more than I do."

Shimizu stuffed the small hand into Morioka Nin's hand and patted his chest.

Their branch of the Uesugi family has considerable influence in the Koga region. It is no problem to call them Uesugi Half City, as they have abundant assets.

Without waiting for Morioka to reply, Shimizu continued to ask:
"By the way, I would like to ask you about the area that Shuizhu is usually in charge of."

"Water column?"

Morioka Niru was a little curious, but still gave a rough range.

"Didn't Shimizu-kun say that he wanted to learn the Breathing of Thunder? Why did he go to find the Water Pillar? If you want to learn the Breathing of Water, I suggest you go to Sagiri Mountain and visit the former Water Pillar, Mr. Urokodaki Sakonji."

"Then does Mr. Urokodaki still accept disciples?"

Morioka Nin didn't know why Shimizu asked this, but she answered anyway:
"Among Mr. Urokodaki's disciples, except for the current Water Pillar Tomioka Giyuu, none of them are still alive. Since the last disciple died in the trial of Fujiki Mountain several years ago, he has not accepted any disciples for six years."

"I understand. Thank you, Master Morioka. I will take my leave now."

Shimizu bowed to Morioka Nien again and turned to leave.

The fact that Urokodaki Sakonji is not teaching any disciples now means that the protagonist Tanjiro Kamado and his family have not been in trouble yet, and have not been rescued by Tomioka Giyuu and sent to Sagiri Mountain to learn skills.

"Breathing of the Sun... God of Fire Kagura..."

Qingshui took out a map he had taken with him when he left home, spread it out, and muttered to himself.

Relying on the abilities of his original body and DC incarnation, he can easily learn wind breathing, and thunder breathing is probably not difficult either, but he may not be compatible with sun breathing, and he is not the so-called son of He Zhuo.

Whether it is Qingshui in this world or the original body, three generations ago, none of them had worked in industries related to fire, nor did they have red hair or red eyes.

But no matter what, Sun Breathing is the strongest ancestral breathing method after all, and Qingshui will not be willing to give it a try.

The location of the Kamado family is uncertain, so Shimizu can only look for a suitable place based on the area that Mizuba is usually responsible for - a remote mountain with few people. There seems to be a small town at the foot of the mountain where Tanjiro often goes to sell coal.

"It's better to use the power of the family."

Shimizu identified the direction and walked towards the area of Koka City.

Before coming here, he asked his third uncle Uesugi Yu to purchase a batch of materials.

This is used to make puppets.

Even though the industrialization of this world is still in a relatively backward stage, and there are not as many materials that can be adapted to chakra as in the Naruto world, the upper limit of the puppets produced is estimated to not be very high, but they can more or less enhance their combat capabilities.
