Chapter 104 Burning Heart
After practicing swordsmanship with Rengoku Makijuro, Fang Yi has already raised [Breath of Flame] to a high level through "persistence and hard work".

Therefore, it far exceeds the requirement of the challenge mission [Purgatory Makijuro's Test] to learn at least one sword technique [Breath of Flame].

According to the rules of the previous challenge mission and the precedent of strengthening the mission reward after killing Akaza in the "Survive Until Dawn" mission.

After completing the mission [Purgatory Makijuro's Test], the rewards issued have been enhanced.

The [Breath of Fire] skill scroll distributed this time not only expands the objects of use, but can also be used on characters with high friendliness.

At the same time, the skill level is set to a random level between lv1 and lv7, and it has the effect of speeding up the learning of the derivative skill [Burning Heart] of [Breath of Fire].

But this thing is useless to Fang Yi.

First, he has already learned the skill [Breath of Fire] and has already reached level 4 at the highest discount. This skill scroll is definitely a positive benefit for those who have not learned [Breath of Fire].

But for Fang Yi, there is even a risk of lowering his skill level. At the same time, the level 4 [Breath of Fire] is enough for Fang Yi in this mission.

Secondly, he had already obtained the derivative skill [Burning Heart] from Rengoku Makijuro, and he had spent 150 precious points on it.

Instead of taking the skill scroll from the main god space back as a 'contraband' to exchange for that few points, it is better to give it directly to Nakamori Yuto to strengthen his own gold medal worker and continue to snowball to get more points in this mission.

In addition, from my experience as a boss, giving employees some dividends and care from time to time will most likely greatly stimulate their work motivation and create more value for themselves.

[Breath of Fire] and its derivative skill [Burning Heart] both have the effect of improving basic attributes, which is enough to make Yuto Nakamori stronger.

At the same time, after [diligent study and improvement] has explained the skills, it will also deepen your understanding of the skills you have explained.

It is a great deal to use a skill scroll that you don't need to strengthen your loyal little brother and continue the story of buying horse bones for a huge sum of money.

After cleaning up Chen Cheng, his next plan was not to fight alone, but to start demonstrating his operational skills and turn the situation around.

Such a loyal and useful little brother cannot be allowed to leave the stage and fall behind the version so quickly.

All of the above factors led Fang Yi to make these decisions.

Fang Yi looked at the somewhat dejected Nakamori Yuto and a smile appeared on his face.

He felt that it was time to let Nakamori Yuto experience the feeling of 'persistence and hard work'.

[Hiroto Nakamori, the problem that's bothering you is very simple. I can solve it by giving you a cheat.]

Fang Yi threw a wooden sword to Nakamori Yuto and asked him to practice with him.

Taking advantage of the time when Rengoku Makijuro was resting, Fang Yi prepared to give Nakamori Yuto a "reasonable" training and then crush the skill scroll.

[Nakamori Yuto seems to be a bit lucky, but he needs to lay the groundwork first, otherwise if he gets a higher level skill later, Rengoku Makijuro will probably go crazy.]
-
After Fang Yi transformed into a lecturer and explained the key points of [Breath of Fire] to Nakamori Yuto, he also demonstrated sword skills several times with a wooden sword.

Hearing the series of prompt sounds of [Study Hard and Make Progress], Fang Yi couldn't help but look at Nakamori Yuto a few more times.

In addition to being a little luckier, this person is also born with the holy body of [diligent learning and progress]. As long as Fang Yi talks about it, Nakamori Yuto will seem to have gained something and can give him a huge reward.

After finishing his talk and laying the groundwork for a long time, Fang Yi directly crushed the [Breath of Fire] skill scroll, ready to see what level the opponent could reach.

[Hiroto Nakamori uses the skill scroll [Breath of Fire]. Due to the enhanced effect, the skill level is set to level 6.]

Fang Yi turned his head and looked at Nakamori Yuto, who suddenly had an idea and started practicing the [Breath of Flame] sword technique, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"I said I'd give you a license, and you really did? That's even more excessive than my 'persistence and hard work'!"

After Nakamori Yuto finished practicing the sword skills that seemed to come out of nowhere with an incredible look on his face, Fang Yi struck while the iron was hot and began to explain the essence of [Burning Heart] to Nakamori Yuto.

While deepening my understanding of this skill, I hope that Nakamori Yuto can learn it as soon as possible.

This skill is classified as a special skill that cannot be upgraded, but the effect is still good.

Burning Heart

Skill Category: Derivative Skills

Skill effect:
1. After learning, some of your basic attributes will be permanently improved.

2. The user can enhance the power of the [Breath of Fire] skill.

3. Able to attach a small amount of energy to weapons to cause more damage to the enemy.

Prerequisite: Learn and master [Breath of Fire].

Introduction: The never-extinguished passion sprouts from the heart, is transmitted from the knife, and ignites everyone's heart.

After mastering [Breath of Fire], when Rengoku Makijuro pointed out that something was missing from his sword, Fang Yi had already "learned" this skill through [Supernatural Gravity].

Although it appears on the panel, the actual effect obviously depends on the degree of mastery of the skills.

Regardless of the effects of items 2 and 3, they actually added 2 points to Fang Yi's strength and physique respectively. The superposition of the two breathing methods also added 2 points to Fang Yi's agility attribute.

Under Fang Yi's balanced point allocation strategy, his strength and agility attributes have reached 17 points, and his constitution is slightly weaker at 16 points.

Go back and complete the task again, and you should be close to 20 points in all attributes.

Collecting some basic breathing techniques may also have good results.

Since the effect of improving panel attributes is so good, it will naturally be even more effective for Yuto Nakamori.

Although Nakamori Yuto didn't master the skill "Burning Heart" immediately after Fang Yi explained it, his basic attributes had already improved significantly. After another difficult battle, he should be able to master "Burning Heart".

Fang Yi watched Nakamori Yuto, who had come out of his confusion by mastering the sword skill [Breath of Flame] at the speed of light and began to continue training, and quietly left.

Didn't you just say that Rengoku Chijuro can see a world you can't? That means he has the potential to be the second Nakamori Yuto?

At the same time, because his current strength is relatively weak, teaching him skills should allow him to get a lot of rewards through [Diligent Learning and Progress].

Now that I have practiced my sword skills to a high level, it is time to continue looking for candidates so that I can earn points without doing anything.

Since different breathing methods can increase the attributes of naked equipment, it is necessary to add more workers to help yourself obtain more points and skills.

Fang Yi stood up and prepared to look for his chosen No. 2 worker and [Diligent Study and Improvement] target - Rengoku Chijuro.
-
When Rengoku Makijuro saw Rengoku Chijuro watching him and Fang Yi practicing sword skills, he became a little anxious.

After he finished training Fang Yi, he directly attacked Rengoku Chijuro again.

"It's no use for you to look at it. You don't have that kind of talent."

"You should clearly realize that you don't have the talent to be a swordsman, let alone become stronger."

"These sword skills that the Purgatory family has been passing down are meaningless in the first place."

Looking at his little son who was about to cry with his head down, Rengoku Makijuro remained unmoved.

He naturally knew that his youngest son actually had some talent as a swordsman. If he was trained correctly, he could at least become an excellent swordsman.

Although he does not have the outstanding talents of his brother Rengoku Kyojuro, it is not stressful for the youngest son to become one of the weaker "pillars" killed by demons in history.

[Breath of Fire] is not difficult for someone with the blood of the Purgatory family.

The Flame Pillar who masters the [Breathing of Flame] and the Water Pillar who masters the [Breathing of Water] are always present in every Demon Slayer Corps, which shows that the practice of these two breathing methods is not difficult.

However, Rengoku Makijuro, who lost his wife early on and became depressed, did not want his two children to join a high-risk organization like the Demon Slayer Corps.

He had already lost his wife and could not lose his son.

Therefore, he stopped teaching his two sons sword skills and stopped practicing sword swinging with them. He hoped that this way would keep them away from the Demon Slayer Corps and allow them to live a peaceful life.

However, his eldest son Rengoku Kyojuro's talent exceeded his expectations. He taught himself with only three guidebooks and became a "Pillar", a person who was more outstanding than himself.

Fortunately, the youngest son did not have this kind of self-taught talent, and without someone teaching him every day, he did not acquire the ability of a swordsman.

The news of Rengoku Kyojuro's disappearance further strengthened his resolve.

If Kyojuro hadn't mastered swordsmanship, would he have never joined the Demon Slayer Corps and died?

Now, his youngest son has become interested in swordsmanship and is actually peeping at Fang Yi when he is teaching him swordsmanship techniques. This is a very dangerous sign.

I must extinguish it as soon as possible.

Looking at his youngest son who was so hurt by his words and had just started to show some interest in swordsmanship but was now discouraged by his words, Rengoku Makijuro felt indescribably sad in his heart.

Rengoku Chijuro also quickly gave the answer his father wanted him to give.

"Father is right. I really don't have the talent of a swordsman. I shouldn't waste my time on this matter."

"Originally, my brother didn't take in a 'stepson'. I should work hard to become a backup force for a 'stepson' like a 'pillar'."

“But now it seems that I should do more to help others in other ways.”

Although Rengoku Makijuro felt a little sorry for his youngest son, in order to ensure his safety, he had to put on a stern face and continue to criticize him by giving him "negative examples".

"Talented people are a minority. It's no surprise that those without talent die at any time."

"Kyojuro is no exception. He doesn't have any outstanding talents, so we don't know whether he's alive or dead."

After saying these words, Rengoku Makijuro left.

The sparring with Fang Yi had exhausted his already limited physical strength as he was old and frail. He now felt unprecedentedly tired and needed rest.

After his father left, Rengoku Chijuro mentioned his missing brother, and the tears he had tried hard to suppress finally overflowed from his eyes.

"I wish I could become a powerful swordsman, but unfortunately I will never be able to do that."

"You can do it."

The extraordinary confidence conveyed in his words interrupted Rengoku Chijuro's crying.

"I promised to teach you how to fight, and I also told you that you would become an excellent swordsman."

Fang Yi walked out of the shadows, his figure gradually emerging, just like that night.

【This is the time for the hero to appear】
