Chapter 76 Fang Yi feels that he needs to start catching up on his growth, but Gui and Chen Cheng don’t think so

When Tomioka Giyu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, turned his eyes away from Fang Yi, and briefly shifted his interest in Fang Yi to Nakamori Yuto.

He stared at Nakamori Yuto in front of him, as if wondering when he had a new junior fellow apprentice.

Then he fell into silence for a while, and finally found the answer to the question from his few memories and his previous conversation with Urokodaki Sakonji.

He looked at Nakamori Yuto who was beside Fang Yi. The man in front of him had undergone a transformation in his demeanor and bearing, and was developing into an excellent swordsman.

He finally reunited with the frail young man he had rescued a year ago, the one who waved a knife at him in a panic but was full of hatred for ghosts.

He also recalled his conversation with Urokodaki Sakonji, who told him that after Kamado Tanjiro, another swordsman of the Water Breathing School had successfully passed the 'Final Selection'.

"Has he become a swordsman for the Demon Slayer Corps? That's something to be celebrated. He looks like a very talented swordsman who will be able to go further than me on this path."

Then it became in his mouth.

"You passed the Demon Slayer Corps' 'final selection' with lowered standards, right? The swordsman's path is still long, and you mustn't slack off."

So it can be seen that Giyu Tomioka really does not understand the art of speaking.

After learning that the Demon Slayer Corps base to which Yuto Nakamori belonged was completely destroyed, he happened to encounter a wild Fang Yi on the road and killed a member of the Demon Slayer Corps and a demon.

After receiving the summons to go to Nada Spider Mountain, he wiped out the Spider family along the way and finally killed the Lower Moon Five. Although Tomioka Giyu's expression did not change, his recognition of Giyuu deepened in his heart.

In his opinion, this person is not only a person with great potential and seems to have a talent for killing ghosts, but also has the belief to help his companions.

From Nakamori Yongren's words, we also heard Fang Yi's fabricated stories such as "companions were killed by demons", "he practiced swordsmanship through family secrets and boxing on his own", and "he longed to fight demons".

Under normal circumstances, Giyu Tomioka would be skeptical of people who describe such experiences and would need more evidence to verify the authenticity of Fang Yi's experiences.

After the Demon Slayer Corps had just experienced an incident in which a new "Pillar" colluded with an upper-rank demon and killed a Pillar, causing another Pillar to disappear, they demanded that personnel review be strengthened and the contribution threshold be raised.

Tomioka Giyu simply believed Fang Yi's experience, which was naturally due to Fang Yi's talent and achievements.

It begins when Giyu Tomioka appears in front of him and Yuto Nakamori speaks.

The prompt sound in Fang Yi's ears never stopped, and finally turned into a prompt like this.

[Tomioka Giyu's friendship towards you increases to 71/100]

Fang Yi's talent [Supernatural Gravity] has a good compatibility with Tomioka Giyu, and he has gained a lot of basic friendship. At the same time, the achievement [Our Journey Is Not Over Yet] is also triggered, which makes it easier to get help from order-type characters.

Before Fang Yi could say a word, Tomioka Giyu's friendship towards Fang Yi increased rapidly, as if the young man in front of him was an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time.

After listening to Nakamori Yuto's narration of his experience, he nodded repeatedly. This young man named Fang Yi seemed to have an innate holy body for killing demons.

Then he asked the question again. This time, Tomioka Giyu tried hard to think and managed to squeeze out some human-like words from his shallow experience in talking to people.

"So how long have you been practicing the Water Breathing style of swordsmanship? You have a lot of room for improvement in your swordsmanship."

Fang Yi smiled slightly and raised two fingers.

Tomioka Giyu was stunned and asked speculatively.

"Two months?"

"No, that's too conservative. This level for two weeks doesn't match your performance." Tomioka Giyu shook his head rarely and made a decisive judgment.

"You were able to train your sword skills to this level in just two days. You remind me of a genius in our Demon Slayer Corps who became a pillar in just two months. You two must have something in common."

Fang Yi shook his head and added a simple sentence that made even a calm person like Tomioka Giyuu freeze on the spot.

"I think I've practiced for less than two hours. There's still room for improvement."

Nakamori Yuto added, "To be precise, Mr. Fang Yi only watched me practice my sword skills once, and then we hurried on our way. The battle lasted no more than ten minutes. Including the time spent practicing the sword skills and narrating, it should have been no more than twenty minutes in total."

Until Shinobu Kocho appeared ghostly behind him and asked the stunned Giyu Tomioka whether they had found all the surviving Demon Slayer swordsmen.

Only then did Giyu Tomioka return to normal, like a clockwork puppet finally starting to function, recovering from the "shock" of Fang Yi's words.

Fang Yi smiled secretly. He was certainly not being so mysterious to show off in front of Giyu Tomioka. He just wanted to increase his value in the eyes of the Demon Slayer Corps.

The main plot of this mission is to kill Chen Cheng, and I joined in the middle. If I want to proceed slowly and steadily like before, increase my friendship level, and obtain information, I will definitely not be able to match the opponent's first-mover advantage, so naturally I have to use unconventional means.

Taking a weakling like Nakamori Yuto with him and killing the Lower Moon Five before the two pillars is the first step in Fang Yi's plan to become famous.

Originally, this "encumbrance" could have been let go as soon as they arrived at Nada Spider Mountain, but Fang Yi guided him in battle. In addition to the [Diligent Study and Improvement] talent, which could be used to reward Nakamori Yuto, who had a lot of room for improvement, he also served as a genius witness.

Fang Yi also gave up using [Black Flash] to quickly deal with the demon, and deliberately used his unskilled sword skills to kill Rui, a Lower Moon Five demon.

Naturally, all of this is to create his own genius persona, "Learn sword skills in twenty minutes and kill the Lower Moon Five." This one sentence is enough for the Demon Slayer Corps to actively invite him to join the team.

Instead of following the traditional route of killing ghosts and making contributions like ordinary reincarnations.

As for the second step of the genius plan, it is to go to the gathering point of the Demon Slayer Corps, use [Supernatural Gravity] to improve the friendship level, and then directly use the prostitution skill to further shape the genius character.

Then go and kill the ghosts in fixed positions, such as [Daki]/[Jifutaro], [Nightmare], to further solidify your identity as a genius.

After obtaining the cooperation of the pillars and the support of the Demon Slayer Corps, they directly found information about Chen Cheng through the Demon Slayer Corps' intelligence organization. If he was in the demon camp, they would just rush over with a van of people and kill him directly.

As for the Demon Slayer Corps camp, Fang Yi was also confident that he could kill him alone.

Watch Giyu Tomioka who is shocked by his own genius personality, and Shinobu Kocho who is curious about herself after exchanging pharmaceutical experiences.

Fang Yi has already seen his bright future.

Then, a ghost appeared on the way and disrupted Fang Yi's plan.

She has short peach-pink hair, golden eyes, pale skin, bare breasts, and her body is covered with tattoos.

But, it's male

A ghost that looked like a will-o'-the-wisp youth appeared before everyone.

"Good evening. It seems like there's still some time before dawn. You seem surprised by my appearance."

The one who came was [Upper Moon Three·Akaza].

As soon as Fang Yi left the Novice Village, he encountered a ghost blocking the door at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings.
