Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Comics to American Comics, a Powerful Attack

"Lady Shinobu Kocho, could you teach me how to become a swordsman?"

Chu Yang's request seemed to have stumped Butterfly. The little girl stood hesitantly in front of him, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Not going to fall for it?

Chu Yang gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, "Lady Kocho Shinobu, please take me as your adopted son?"

In the Demon Slayer world, the so-called "stepson" actually refers to the status of an heir, or in simpler terms, the true disciple of a Pillar-level swordsman.

Generally, Pillar-level swordsmen will take in swordsmen of the same Breathing style as their "adopted sons," but there are also some special cases where swordsmen of different Breathing styles become "adopted sons."

Pillar-level swordsmen have the authority to call upon any level of Demon Slayer Corps member, but if they want to call upon someone else's "stepchild," they must obtain that Pillar's consent.

"Stepchildren" is a very special status in the Demon Slayer Corps.

Upon hearing that Chu Yang wished to become her "stepson," Shinobu Kocho's fair face flushed red at a visible speed.

She waved her hand frantically at Chu Yang.

Chu Yang clicked his tongue, feeling that the Shinobu Kocho in front of him was strange, quite different from what he remembered.

"Hahaha, someone actually wants to become Shinobu's stepson, how interesting!"

A silvery laugh rang out behind Chu Yang. He turned around and saw a girl who looked seven or eight parts like Shinobu Kocho, but was more mature and gentle.

The girl had a pair of bright, light purple eyes, long, smooth, black hair that reached her waist, with butterfly-shaped hair clips on both sides of her hair, and a colorful butterfly-patterned haori draped over it.

The girl skipped over to Chu Yang and teased, "Xiao Ren isn't a Pillar, so he's not qualified to take on a stepson. But I am. Are you interested, little brother?"

Chu Yang stared blankly at the girl in front of him, not because she was beautiful, but because she was...

Kanae Butterfly!

Kanae Kocho is still alive!

This proves that there are still at least four years before the plot officially begins!

No wonder Chu Yang always thought Shinobu Kocho looked like a baby; she really really is a baby...

"It's very impolite to stare at a girl like that," Kanae Butterfly whispered in Chu Yang's ear, taking a step forward.

Chu Yang shuddered and quickly stepped back, apologizing profusely. His mind was in a mess.

“I can sense your aura. As an ordinary person who has never been trained, your physique is exceptional and you have the potential to become a powerful swordsman.”

Kanae Kocho chuckled softly, "I was just joking with you earlier. Your physique isn't suitable for practicing my breathing technique. If you really want to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, I can introduce you to another Pillar."

Chu Yang snapped out of his daze and immediately nodded, saying, "Then I'll trouble you."

"You're in luck, he'll be here soon." Kanae Butterfly's eyes were full of smiles, looking forward to seeing what kind of sparks would fly between Chu Yang and that Pillar.

Shinobu Kocho seemed to have guessed which Pillar her sister was referring to, and subconsciously showed a surprised expression.

Chu Yang watched the two of them speaking in riddles, completely baffled.

After a while, a tall and burly figure pushed open the door and entered, muttering "Amitabha." He had a long, narrow scar on his forehead, was completely blind, wore a string of Buddhist prayer beads around his neck, and held prayer beads in his hand.

monk!

The Island of Lamentation is now in the Dark!

Chu Yang turned his head and glanced at Kanae Butterfly, who was grinning from ear to ear, and let out a deep breath.

Himejima Gyomei is very strong!

It could even be said to be the strongest pillar, bar none!

The moment Beiming Yuxingming entered, he spotted Chu Yang. Despite being blind, his senses were exceptionally sharp. If he hadn't failed to detect the ghostly scent on Chu Yang, he would have almost drawn his weapon and attacked him!

Kanae Kocho smiled and said, "Mr. Gyomei, it's rare to see you unless it's the Pillar Meeting. Are you training every day?"

Himejima Gyomei nodded, then asked impatiently, "And who is this person next to me?"

"A survivor." Kanae Kocho summarized Chu Yang's experience in just three simple words, then added, "He wants to stay with the Demon Slayer Corps."

If it were an ordinary person, Beimingyu Xingming would have directly advised him to go back and live a normal life, but the powerful aura emanating from Chu Yang was simply impossible to ignore.

Beimingyu Xingming said in a deep voice, "This will be a journey more arduous than you can imagine."

Chu Yang replied, "I understand."

Kanae Kocho suggested, "I think you should teach him yourself; a breeder may not be able to fully unleash his talent."

Beimingyu Xingming hesitated for a moment, during which he sensed Chu Yang's presence again, and finally couldn't help but nod.

His Rock Breathing technique has finally found a successor!

Chapter 56 Special Training in the Breath of Rock

The temple on Himejima Island where people practice meditation is far from the Butterfly Mansion.

Chu Yang thought the two of them would leave by train, but unexpectedly, Beimingyu Xingming wanted to take him back on foot!

"Your physique is unusual and requires more rigorous training!"

This is the reason that Xingming Beiming gave to Chu Yang.

But Chu Yang felt that the other party simply wanted to save money on train tickets.

"Ascetic monk..." Chu Yang felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of this inhumane term. The Nightingale of the Sorrowful Island was undoubtedly this kind of person.

Among the Hashirama of the Demon Slayer Corps, Muichiro Tokito has the strongest swordsmanship talent, while Gyomei Himejima has the strongest physical talent.

Himejima Gyomei was originally an ordinary monk who practiced in a temple and had never received any instruction in breathing techniques.

However, he was able to fight demons until dawn as an ordinary person and even inflict fatal damage on them. This physical talent is unparalleled in the entire Demon Slayer world. It is precisely because of this that Gyomei Himejima has been unable to find a suitable successor for so long.

The sword techniques he created using his own unique abilities are simply impossible for ordinary people to master.

After hiking for a day and a night, Beimingyu Xingming led Chu Yang into a deep mountain forest.

When Chu Yang reached the halfway point of the mountain, he saw a temple standing there all alone.

Desolate and dilapidated.

Living in a place like this, it's even harder not to encounter ghosts.

Once inside, Chu Yang found that it wasn't as bad as he had imagined.

The temple wasn't large, but it was clean and tidy inside, and even the fallen leaves in the courtyard were neatly swept and piled up to the side.

It's clear that Gyomei Himejima is very hardworking.

The ghosts on Beiming Island lit up all the lights in the temple.

He is blind, so it doesn't matter whether the light is on or not; this is to take care of Chu Yang.

After the lights were turned on, the small temple had a somewhat cozy feel.

"Tomorrow you will officially begin your swordsman training. Let me give you a heads-up: the stronger your physical talent, the more severe the obstacles you will encounter in the process of practicing breathing techniques."

In the bright light, Himejima Gyomei slowly said, "The breathing technique, also known as total concentration breathing, is a special technique created by humans to fight against demons. It is used to strengthen cardiopulmonary function, to make the blood contain a large amount of oxygen in a short period of time, and to promote the improvement of bodily functions."

Chu Yang nodded, indicating that he understood.

In fact, due to his limited understanding, there is another aspect that Gyomei Himejima did not mention.

Breathing exercises can stimulate adrenaline levels.

Otherwise, simply increasing the oxygen content in the blood would hardly elevate a person's athletic ability to a superhuman level.

Himejima Gyomei continued, "Breathing is a human instinct and a necessary condition for survival, but not everyone knows how to breathe. Next, I will teach you the correct way to breathe."

Chu Yang listened intently as Beimingyu Xingming explained the breathing technique.

After sharing his talent with other versions of himself from other worlds, Chu Yang's current memory and comprehension abilities mean that he only needs Beimingyu Xingming to say something once for him to deeply etch the content into his mind.

Beiming Yuxingming wanted to continue explaining in more detail, but he found that Chu Yang's chest was already rising and falling rhythmically like a bellows.

A light, white stream of air circulated in and out of Chu Yang's nose and mouth, a sign that his breathing technique was working correctly.

Beiming Yuxingming's pupils suddenly contracted.

Having been a member of the Demon Slayer Corps for so many years, he had never heard of anyone being able to enter the state of Total Concentration Breathing so quickly.

Chu Yang's breathing was very steady and powerful, which is a characteristic of Rock Breathing.

Himejima Gyomei quietly stood guard by his side. Beginners who were just starting out with breathing techniques could not hold on for long because their hearts and lungs could not withstand prolonged stimulation.

Only through continuous exercise can one prolong breathing time.

Ultimately, one achieves "total concentration and constant focus," which means keeping the body in a constant state of breathing.

Meanwhile, on the other side, whenever Chu Yang was about to give up, a surge of life force would well up within him, nourishing his heart and lungs, feeling like drinking a mouthful of ice water in the sweltering summer, refreshing and invigorating.

Chu Yang, who had been in a breathing state for a long time, not only did not feel uncomfortable, but gradually began to enjoy it.

Time passes minute by minute...

Silently guarding Chu Yang, Beimingyu Xingming sensed something was wrong. Chu Yang had been in a breathing state for far too long, far exceeding the average level. Based on past experience, he should have exited this state long ago.

Strangely enough, Chu Yang didn't seem to be in any discomfort; in fact, his complexion was even rosier than before, leaving Beimingyu Xingming completely baffled.

Beimingyu Xingming could only chant "Amitabha" once, quietly meditating and focusing some of his attention on Chu Yang, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.
