However, from Ke Ling's perspective as a modern person, Tanjiro Kamado has actually done a great job.
Ultimately, this child is only thirteen years old, and is fundamentally different from an adult who has already formed a very firm set of values.
A sudden and devastating tragedy struck. His entire family, on whom he depended for survival, perished, and his younger sister was turned into a ghost. It was already incredibly difficult for him to bury his family and embark on a journey of salvation with his sister.
If someone else were in Tanjiro Kamado's position, they might have already been eaten by Nezuko Kamado, and there wouldn't be any story to tell.
Of course, regardless of what Ke Ling thought, he didn't say much and didn't interfere by stopping Urokodaki Sakonji's instruction.
As a veteran demon slayer, Sakonji Urokodaki certainly knows more about this world than an outsider like himself.
Everyone has their own area of expertise, and Ke Ling understands this very well. If you don't understand something, you shouldn't meddle in it.
Furthermore, even in his opinion, Tanjiro Kamado really should adjust his mindset a bit. No matter what he does in the future, always being as gentle and kind as he is now will lead to great losses.
"Carry your sister on your back and come with me. Don't you want to become a demon hunter? First, pass my test. Ke Ling, you come too."
After a stern reprimand, Urokodaki Sakonji spoke to Kamado Tanjiro and Korin.
"what?"
Ke Ling was stunned for a moment. What did that mean? I can be a demon hunter too? Goodness, that's like becoming a Blade Warrior!
However, he's not a swindler, nor is he a respectable ghost.
Second update~~~
Chapter 66 Let's take a look at Mount Sagiri in the distance.
"What's wrong? Didn't you want to learn how to kill demons better?"
Ke Ling's surprise made Urokodaki Sakonji look at him.
"Yes."
Ke Ling nodded immediately. If Urokodaki Sakonji was willing to teach him, that would be the best thing. With a professional demon hunter as a guide, he could definitely avoid a lot of detours.
Most importantly, these ghost hunters must have various channels to find out where ghosts are lurking, while Ke Ling can only rely on luck. Getting in touch with this person is much more convenient for him.
"Okay, then follow me."
Urokodaki Sakonji didn't say anything more; he hoped that Ke Ling would come with him voluntarily.
Ke Ling's special abilities made Urokodaki Sakonji very concerned. The fact that he could walk in the sunlight, even though he was still afraid of it, was enough for him to take him seriously.
Moreover, even disregarding that point, Urokodaki Sakonji would not let Ke Ling leave.
He needed to personally confirm that Ke Ling really wouldn't eat people; he wouldn't feel at ease until they spent some time together.
Even Nezuko Kamado wouldn't have believed it unless he personally confirmed it.
Tanjiro Kamado carried his sister Nezuko on his back; he was ready.
Urokodaki Sakonji glanced at him, then started running, with the old man leading the way, followed by Korin and Kamado Tanjiro.
The old man took small steps, but very frequent ones, and quickly darted out, startling Tanjiro Kamado so much that he opened his mouth wide and hurriedly ran after him.
Ke Ling followed, and he ran more easily. It was obvious at a glance that Urokodaki Sakonji had slowed down and was deliberately waiting for Kamado Tanjiro.
To be honest, compared to Urokodaki Sakonji's speed, Ke Ling was more surprised by Kamado Tanjiro's physical abilities. This kid was carrying Kamado Nezuko on his back and still managed to run at a pretty good speed.
Nezuko Kamado is twelve years old this year. Even if she is thin and weak, she must weigh about 60 or 70 pounds. Let alone a thirteen-year-old boy, even for an adult, this weight is already very scary.
"Is that alright? Or you can give Nezuko to me."
Ke Ling ran to Tanjiro Kamado's side and offered the boy a helping hand. He spoke quite loudly, and Sakonji Urokodaki definitely heard him, but the old man did not stop him.
“No, Mr. Ke Ling, this is a test for me. I can’t abandon Nezuko, because I will be carrying her on my back all the time.”
However, Tanjiro Kamado shook his head and firmly refused Korin's help, even though he was already panting heavily after running for only a short while, but the boy still persisted.
"No matter what happens, never give up. Isn't that what you told me, Mr. Ke Ling? I've always remembered it."
Tanjiro Kamado smiled at Ke Ling, but it was a strained smile.
""
Ke Ling's expression was complicated. He wanted to say, "As expected of the protagonist," but simply using the word "protagonist" to summarize Kamado Tanjiro's efforts and perseverance seemed very unfair to him.
"Come on, you can do it."
Ke Ling encouraged the child, then stopped bothering him and ran ahead to catch up with Urokodaki Sakonji.
"Tanjiro has extraordinary tenacity and excellent physical abilities. He's very suitable to be a demon slayer, isn't he?"
As Ke Ling ran, he told Urokodaki Sakonji that he was able to get in touch with Urokodaki Sakonji thanks to Kamado Tanjiro.
Although he didn't think that Tanjiro Kamado would be rejected from joining, he figured saying a few nice words wouldn't hurt him.
"He is too gentle and lacks decisiveness."
Urokodaki Sakonji replied that he had certainly seen the child's strengths, but his "weaknesses" were also obvious and readily apparent.
"They will grow, and they will grow very quickly, after all, they have just experienced a major life change."
Ke Ling explained to Kamado Tanjiro that he and the boy could indeed resonate with each other to some extent, since he hadn't experienced such a dramatic change in his life much earlier than Kamado Tanjiro.
Hasn't he grown up quickly now? From a penny-pincher to a ruthless person who can bite his own fingers without batting an eye, and has even killed several scumbags.
Living in a fixed, unchanging environment will naturally lead to slow and linear personal growth.
However, in such a sudden and dramatic life change, a person's growth can immediately deviate from a linear path, and it is not impossible for them to seem like a completely different person within a few days.
You let the former Ke Ling let go of his fantasies; he probably never imagined that he could endure the pain of getting a new skin.
While Ke Ling's dramatic life changes only affect himself, Tanjiro Kamado's family is reduced to just the brother and sister, so the impact is different. Perhaps this child will grow up faster than him.
Urokodaki Sakonji didn't speak again, and Ke Ling also shut his mouth, putting on his mask and earmuffs again.
When Urokodaki Sakonji asked him earlier, Ke Ling directly told the truth, explaining that it was for blocking out light.
Naturally, Urokodaki Sakonji was still puzzled when he heard this answer. What did it mean to only cover a few holes?
However, he didn't ask any further questions. He was a man of principle, and since he had already made an agreement, he would keep it. After all, Ke Ling couldn't run away anyway.
The two humans and two demons ran all the way to their destination, Mount Sagiri. By the time they reached Urokodaki Sakonji's cabin, the sun was already setting, and the golden hue of the sunset had become the dominant color of the world.
""
Looking at Tanjiro Kamado lying on the ground, panting heavily, Ke Ling had lost count of how many times she had been surprised.
A thirteen-year-old child ran from sunrise to sunset, carrying a load of sixty or seventy pounds.
This child's constitution is a bit too abnormal, isn't it?
Urokodaki Sakonji removed his white headscarf, revealing a head of short white hair, which surprised him greatly.
Although he had seen many gifted children, Tanjiro Kamado was still one of the very few. This child was indeed very talented, but that was not enough.
Ke Ling reached out and pulled Tanjiro Kamado, who was lying on the ground, up. The boy staggered before he could stand up, his legs trembling.
Seeing this, Ke Ling thought to herself that this was a bit more normal; at least they knew they were tired.
If Tanjiro Kamado is completely unharmed, then Ke Ling would really start to suspect that the kid might have some special bloodline, martial arts technique, or grandfather figure.
"Put your sister down first, and come up the mountain with me. Your test has only just begun."
Urokodaki Sakonji said this to Kamado Tanjiro, which almost made Kamado Tanjiro collapse to the ground.
"Ke Ling, please stay here and help look after Nezuko."
Ignoring the terrified Tanjiro Kamado, Sakonji Urokodaki continued to tell Ke Ling that the trials on the mountain were meaningless to this demon.
"no problem."
Ke Ling nodded and agreed. He took the basket containing Nezuko Kamado and watched the old man and the young man leave.
The second update will be later~
Chapter 67: Let's start with the basics.
Ke Ling settled Nezuko Kamado on the bed in the inner room of the wooden house. This child was quite remarkable; she managed to fall asleep even after being jostled all the way.
"These two really trust me. Don't they all know I make a living by eating ghosts?"
Looking at the soundly sleeping Nezuko Kamado, Ke Ling muttered, "Aren't you afraid he'll eat this girl up?"
What Ke Ling didn't know was that after walking for a while, Urokodaki Sakonji brought Kamado Tanjiro back.
They kept a certain distance from the cabin, a distance at which the two of them could smell the cabin, but Ke Ling could not smell them.
Having slain demons for so many years, Sakonji Urokodaki's use of his keen sense of smell naturally far surpasses that of the fledgling Tanjiro Kamado.
"Mr. Urokodaki"
Tanjiro Kamado's legs felt like they were filled with lead, and his head was spinning. He didn't understand what was happening at first.
However, after his mind cleared up a bit, his expression became complicated. He realized that Mr. Urokodaki suspected Mr. Korin, and even Nezuko.
Urokodaki Sakonji ignored Kamado Tanjiro, not thinking there was anything wrong with what he was doing. After squatting for a while longer, the old man finally got up and left.
In his sense of smell, both Ke Ling and Nezuko Kamado were in very stable condition, and nothing unexpected had happened.
"These demon hunters must have their own training system."
Inside the cabin, Korin, unaware that both she and Nezuko Kamado were still under suspicion, was forging chains. The King of Roll wouldn't let any spare moment slip by.
While training, he was also summarizing his findings. It was truly incredible that Urokodaki Sakonji had such physical abilities at his age.
It makes sense. When faced with supernatural beings like demons who are stronger than humans, it would be difficult for demon hunters to fight against them without a special training system.
"The problem now is, can I, as a ghost, cultivate this cultivation system?"
This is the most crucial point, which Urokodaki Sakonji didn't mention. He only said he would teach him how to kill demons better.
So, does this mean that one can cultivate, or does Urokodaki Sakonji himself not know?
As Ke Ling thought about it, he quickly did push-ups until he smelled Urokodaki Sakonji's scent returning.
"Are you forging a chain? Is it even useful?"
