Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 151 Three Cunning People
Fang Yi has been thinking about what exactly is the difference between him and the reincarnations in other main god spaces.

Not only are the relics and rewards given in this mission very suitable for you, almost giving you whatever you need, but many of the hints given in the mission are like spoilers.

This main god space is not like the one at point x, but more like the one at cwm next door, except for the function of signing in to become invincible.

If you are not a "wise man after the event" who has not read the script, most of these task prompts can greatly reduce the difficulty of the task.

It was like walking alone on a winding and rugged mountain road in the pitch-black night, and the main god space thoughtfully lit a few lights for me to dispel the darkness.

These treatments were not enjoyed in the reincarnation space. Including the top-level task of fighting Sukuna at the beginning, after two task worlds, there were no task prompts at all, but there were quite a few annihilation tasks.

It was nowhere near as friendly and welcoming as the main divine realm. It was like a successful businessman returning home, receiving a warm welcome from his fellow villagers. Or it was like being parachuted into the bottom floor of a company, with the education column listing that his father was a company director.

However, a reincarnationist like himself who had just completed two missions had nothing to do with the big boss. As for the [Five Emperors' Coins], Fang Yi did not think that he could get absolute preferential treatment from the space just by relying on such a relic.

As for his identity, it was even more ridiculous. He just traveled through time in his physical body and had just practiced boxing for three days in the martial arts gym in the "mountain". He didn't have any background as a "second-generation martial artist".

At the same time, there was no return mission on his panel as Ma Han said, and the return time of most reincarnations was approaching, but the main god space not only did not deduct points, but also gave him points to allow him to continue the mission.

This behavior of the main god space reminded Fang Yi of the files of the "Son of Heaven" scam he had read in his previous life, specifically targeting women, in which the victims described their experiences of being cheated.

Just as Fang Yi's thoughts were distracted by these hints from the main god space, he began to wonder whether the main god space was deceiving him.

The increasingly strong wind interrupted Fang Yi's thoughts.

The wind that had previously only crackled the windows, creating a "gentle breeze that can't read, why is it flipping through books" sound, was no longer as gentle as before. It was like a fan that had suddenly been turned up to full speed, emitting a loud noise that was unbearable for ordinary people.

Pulling the window back and forth, it made an angry banging sound, like a couple slamming the door and leaving after a quarrel.

These changes in the weather seemed to indicate that the clear skies of the past would be replaced by heavy rain. Fang Yi had already seen dark clouds gathering in the distant sky, rushing towards him like a tide of beasts. Everything indicated that a downpour was probably not far away.

He looked at the books on the table that were flipped open by the wind, and then he closed the book that Rengoku Makijuro had lent him with force, and put it back into his personal space to prevent the book from being damaged.

He never liked to owe others anything. Since it was a loan, he should return the book to the other party in its entirety.

Looking at the trees at the door that were blown to and fro by the strong wind and the gloomy sky, Fang Yi suddenly felt a chill, as if foreshadowing that the next battle would be very difficult.

However, this chill was immediately dispelled by the warmth brought by [Breath of the Sun: Strengthening].

This sword technique absorbed the [Breath of Water], [Breath of Thunder], and [Breath of Fire]. At the same time, after many deductions of [Diligent Study and Improvement], as well as observing the authentic [Breath of the Sun] of Yuichi Tsugakuin, and having face-to-face discussions and actual combat with the opponent, it brought extraordinary results.

【Breath of the Sun: Strengthen】

Skill categories: Derivative skills, self-created combination skills

Skill effect:
1. Any sword skills belonging to breathing methods can be integrated into it to obtain the special gain effect of the skill.

2. The user's physical strength is greatly increased, and the physical strength consumed by using sword skills or techniques is greatly reduced.

3. When using the sword style of [Breath of the Sun], or investing the energy of [Breath of the Sun] into the body, weapons, or energy-consuming moves, the damage caused to evil creatures is greatly increased, and the attack will cause continuous burning damage to the opponent.

4. The user's resistance to evil attacks increases, and resistance to toxins increases significantly.

5. The user's sword drawing and sword swinging speed increases slightly.

Special reinforcement branch:

Through their own efforts, users can integrate swordsmanship skills or moves that are at a higher level of mastery into this skill, thereby enabling the skill to evolve.

This skill can be changed through continuous development of sword style to obtain more skill enhancements.

Currently fused moves:
[Water Breathing·Eleventh Form·Nigi] changes to [Sun Breathing·Pond Shadow Without Trace]

Tip 1: Apart from its deterrent and lethality against ghosts, this sword skill is also gorgeous and brilliant enough. Demonstrating it can make it easier to gain the favor of strong people who master sword skills.

Tip 2: Even an amateur who doesn't understand swordsmanship can sense the charm of this sword technique. You may be able to use it to win the favor of some noble women.

Description: Those who master this sword technique will create the illusion of seeing the sun. It is your "Breath of the Sun," a sword technique that Yoriichi Tsugumi participated in refining and approving.

Of course, the skill effect of [Breathing of the Sun] that Fang Yi obtained is far more than just those few bonuses and the original twelve sword styles.

As he learned [Breath of the Sun: Strengthening], he seemed to have gained a different kind of energy from cursed power.

Fang Yi even felt that the energy of [Breath of the Sun·Strengthened] could be superimposed with [Reversal Technique·Strengthened] to a certain extent to achieve a stronger effect.

When a normal reincarnationist obtains this skill, the mana slot should be unlocked, and the attribute of mana value will appear on the panel.

According to the guidebook that cost me 700 points, this ability is unlocked by a small number of people in the second half of Rank 1.

In fact, the threshold for obtaining this skill through normal means is very high. Fang Yi guessed that it might require the Ghost Camp, and the plot must reach the chapter of the Infinite City Final Battle.

And kill Tanjiro Kamado in the final battle, who has turned into a ghost and is in a super godly state, and then open the treasure chest to have a chance to obtain this skill.

Or one must be a true genius who can restore the sword skills of Yoriichi Tsugikuni from the [Yuriichi Type 0] puppet in the Swordsmith Village, and must have a very deep understanding of breathing techniques to obtain this skill.

Fang Yi even guessed that [Breathing of the Sun] had the same type of characteristic requirements as [Demon Slayer].

The biggest benefit among them is not the effects of the various sword styles and special attacks on evil creatures, but the one that greatly increases physical strength.

【Five Emperors' Coins】After being resurrected, Fang Yi's age kept increasing. In addition to shortening his health bar, it also reduced Fang Yi's physical strength. Of course, Fang Yi could kill people with one punch before, so his physical strength was always enough.

However, in the previous battle with Upper Three Akaza, the physical weakness caused by the [Five Emperors' Coins] had been highlighted. Once the battle line was extended and the battle became longer, Fang Yi's physical strength would be somewhat exhausted.

Now that his physical strength has been greatly increased and the consumption of sword skills and techniques has been reduced, his actual combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

This was also the effect that Fang Yi had expected. After all, in the original work, the sword technique of "Breathing of the Sun" was recorded by Tanjiro Kamado's ancestors and passed down from generation to generation in the Kamado family as "Dance of Fire Kagura".

This skill consumes a lot of energy, but even with the fragile body of Tanjiro Kamado's father, he can dance for a whole day without getting tired by relying on the breathing rhythm brought by [Breathing of the Sun].

Fang Yi was naturally interested in this ability, which might not be reflected in the system panel, but he didn't expect [Sun Breathing: Strengthen] to have such a clear effect. As for the energy attached to [Sun Breathing: Strengthen], Fang Yi planned to test its actual effect to see if it could be incorporated into his fist and sword energy.

That Upper Rank Two, Douma, looks pretty good.

Next, I should ask Shinobu Kocho to study the poisoning method and quantity of the shrapnel in the alchemical bomb [Stinger No. 1].

Fang Yi is not planning to reveal the skill [Sun Breathing: Strengthen] in the battle against Upper Moon Two, Douma. He wants to save this trump card for the final battle.

[Stinger No. 1] is a good way to tell Liao Lin and Muzan Kibutsuji his trump card, showing that he is a "cunning person" rather than a powerful swordsman.
However, when he found Shinobu Kocho's Butterfly House based on his memory, he saw someone he didn't expect.

Mitsuri Kanroji, who was supposed to be training with the [Red Blade], was sitting next to Shinobu Kocho, and the two seemed to be talking about something.

Fang Yi vaguely heard the word "haori", which sounded a bit ominous.
-
The Demon Slayer Corps' temporary base, inside the Butterfly House.

When Fang Yi arrived here, he knocked on the door gently with the back of his hand, but did not attract the attention of the two.

Mitsuri Kanroji was beaming with joy and kept chattering to Shinobu Kocho, but she didn't notice that beneath Shinobu Kocho's calm face, Mitsuri Kanroji's invisible left hand was already clenched into a fist, clenched very tightly, as if she was going to kill someone with one punch.

One of them was concentrating on explaining his inner feelings to the other, while the other seemed to have something extremely heavy on his mind, so neither of them heard Fang Yi's gentle knock on the door against the backdrop of the howling wind.

Fang Yi had no choice but to cough and at the same time exert more force on his hands, making a louder noise on the fragile door to attract the attention of the two people and interrupt this conversation with a somewhat strange atmosphere.

Seeing Fang Yi, Kanroji Mitsuri's eyes lit up, and when she looked down, she saw the navy blue haori. She couldn't help but smile. She was about to say something, but then she remembered that this was Shinobu Kocho's Butterfly House, so she stopped talking.

Mitsuri Kanroji patted Shinobu Kocho's hand, then stood up and said goodbye to her good sister and best friend.

Fang Yi moved aside to make room for the female swordsman, so that they wouldn't have any physical contact. However, this well-built female swordsman, whose side profile covered a large area, slyly whispered something to Fang Yi.

"I'll come find you later. I have something to tell you."

Without waiting for Fang Yi to nod, Ganlu Temple Mitsuri seemed to touch Fang Yi's hand unconsciously and scratched the palm of Fang Yi's hand.

At the same time, she only nodded and smiled at Fang Yi on the surface, showing a sense of unfamiliarity between the two in front of the 'outsider' Shinobu Kocho.

However, behind Mitsuri Kanroji, although Shinobu Kocho, who was watching the other party's "little movements", had a calm expression, Fang Yi felt that her eyes seemed to be on fire.

Fang Yi had a headache. The friendship level of the female swordsman, Mitsuri Ganlu Temple, seemed to have increased too quickly, completely beyond his expectations, which was a bit disadvantageous for his "operation".

However, he was not going to hide from the other party and refuse the conversation.

Because generally speaking, Fang Yi doesn't like to play dumb and evade, he has always been very "honest".

He did not look at Mitsuri Kanroji's back as she looked back every three steps, but gently closed the door that had just been opened and prepared to "bring water".

[Let me think about the skills I learned in my previous life. What should I do in this situation?]
-
Shinobu Kocho's expression was as calm as ever, and she even gave Fang Yi a charming, but actually somewhat creepy smile and greeted him.

Fang Yi knew that the female swordsman's actual personality was quite violent, so in this situation she should usually force herself to remain calm.

However, Fang Yi was not prepared to talk about the haori at this stage and hit the iceberg directly. Instead, he planned to talk about some official business and gradually break the ice.

He cleared his throat, took out the alchemical bomb [Stinger No. 1], and began to ask Shinobu Kocho for advice on the method of poisoning.

"Miss Shinobu Kocho, I'm wondering if you're free right now. I have some questions about poisoning objects and the dosage of the poison I'd like to ask you."

"This involves the battle against that Upper Rank Two demon, and it's my highest priority."

"After thinking about it, your figure appeared in my mind, and I also wanted to talk to you."

"I just finished dealing with some matters with the Demon Slayer Corps and came to see you right away without meeting anyone."

After hearing that Fang Yi was worried about killing the Two Upper Moons, Shinobu Kocho's attitude softened instantly and her tone became gentler.

Her attention had shifted to the alchemical bomb in Fang Yi's hand. Seeing this kind of item, she couldn't help but curl her lips and gave a conclusion.

"I'm afraid this bomb's power won't be enough to cause direct damage to the Upper Two. It will likely rely on the poison in the shrapnel to cause secondary damage."

"It just so happens that Mr. Ubuyashiki has commissioned me to make something similar before. I have experience, so bring it to me."

"No need to follow."

After saying that, he took the alchemical bomb from Fang Yi's hand, turned his back and stood in front of the tool bench beside him, ready to dismantle the bomb with a businesslike look.

But Fang Yi was not prepared to handle the matter impartially. Based on Fang Yi's experience, anyone who believed what Shinobu Kocho said was a fool.

He walked gently to the side of Shinobu Kocho, showed a standard and charming smile, and activated the trait [Mind and Soul Confusion]. While holding Shinobu Kocho's hand, he stopped her from dismantling the bomb.

Seeing that the other party did not refuse, he further took the initiative to shorten the distance between the two of them, going beyond the distance that friends should maintain, and entering an ambiguous distance that would soon lead to physical contact.

"This explosive is a little special. Let me teach you how to dismantle it safely to avoid getting hurt."

"I'll teach you step by step, and later you have to teach me how to make poisons step by step."

"This is something only you can do."

Fang Yi followed the other person's ear and sent out a somewhat charming voice with his special characteristics.

This sentence certainly had a very good effect, and the prompt sound of the space sounded instantly.

[Chocho Shinobu's friendship level increased to [85/100]]

Upon hearing this, Shinobu Kocho cunningly did not stop Fang Yi's behavior. Instead, after several explanations, she "inadvertently" shortened the distance between the two of them.

On the surface, she pretended to be doing her job and began to dismantle the bomb, but in fact, she used the excuse of "bomb disposal teaching" to continuously engage in "reasonable" physical contact, and she was almost in Fang Yi's arms.

Fang Yi smiled and did not expose the other party.

Is it difficult to balance the two? Isn't this the solution?
