The Heavens: One World, One Superpower

Urokodaki Sakonji was utterly shocked.

At the same time, they were overjoyed.

By sheer chance, he received a disciple whose talent surpassed that of Sabito and Giyu Tomioka.

This will allow the Demon Slayer Corps to once again gain an extremely powerful swordsman.

This will greatly advance the cause of exterminating evil spirits.

Exterminating evil spirits has been the Demon Slayer Corps' millennium goal.

It was also his lifelong pursuit.

He became an apprentice in his youth, joined the Demon Slayer Corps, participated in missions, became the Water Pillar, and after retiring, resolutely chose to become a trainer.

He dedicated his entire life to the cause of exterminating evil spirits.

Today, I am contributing to this cause with my own hands.

How could he not be happy?

At the same time, I was struck by the fact that people are different from one another.

Some are exceptionally gifted and progress rapidly in their breathing exercises.

Some people may have average talent, but they can persevere day and night.

They are all an indispensable part of the extermination of evil spirits.

"His body seems inexhaustible, able to continuously absorb the energy of heaven and earth."

Five days ago, he was just an ordinary teenager.

"Two days ago, his physical condition doubled."

"Now, it seems to have increased by more than four times."

"And it is constantly improving."

He looked up at the sun, pondering to himself, "Is it because of the sun?"

He recalled Su Chen's consistent sunbathing over the past few days, and Su Chen's comment: "Sunbathing makes me feel comfortable."

Urokodaki Sakonji couldn't help but think to himself, "His physique must be extraordinary, related to the sun, allowing him to continuously receive the sun's power to enhance his physical abilities."

This is a good thing!

Time slips away unnoticed.

Until nightfall.

Su Chen's body still hadn't been fully replenished with water energy.

"I estimate that in another three days, my body will be fully replenished with water energy."

"At that time, the rate at which solar energy improves physical fitness will be surpassed by the rate at which water energy is absorbed."

"What is my current combat strength?"

Su Chen couldn't help but be curious.

However, he has not yet mastered the Water Breathing Sword Form.

Even with its strong physique and the absorption of a large amount of water energy, it still possesses remarkable physical abilities.

Without practicing swordsmanship, one cannot fully unleash their combat power.

He returned to the cabin from the riverbank.

At this moment, an oil lamp cast a hazy, dreamlike light inside the room.

However, for him and Urokodaki Sakonji.

The five senses and six perceptions have become so powerful that they exceed the limits of the human body.

With just a sliver of light, it's no different from daytime.

When Urokodaki Sakon saw Su Chen return, he smiled slightly and said, "Your talent is exceptional; you are a promising candidate for swordsmanship."

"I am deeply grateful for Mr. Linlong's teachings."

"Now that you have learned to absorb water energy into your body, it is time to begin practicing swordsmanship. What do you think swordsmanship is?"

Su Chen pondered for a while.

When practicing water breathing, Urokodaki Sakonji asked him: What do you think breathing is?

Urokodaki Sakonji's answer was: Breathing is the exchange of energy with heaven and earth.

So what is swordsmanship?

Su Chen slowly revealed his inner thoughts: "Swordsmanship is a way to maximize the body's energy. Just like if you want to defeat someone, you have to throw a punch and exert force to knock them down."

Urokodaki Sakonji nodded and said, "What you said is correct, but it's still not comprehensive. Swordsmanship should be the external manifestation of the swordsman's will in action."

Su Chen was stunned.

Is swordsmanship an externalization of will?

What kind of theory is this?

Urokodaki Sakonji continued, "There are many types of swordsmanship, but in terms of technique, it does indeed utilize the body's energy to defeat the enemy. However, from the perspective of the Way, swordsmanship carries the will of the swordsman. The mobilization of physical energy is not limited to the application of technique; once it reaches a certain level, it depends even more on the will of the swordsman."

Those with unwavering willpower often unleash extraordinary energy.

"This is something even the swordsman couldn't have imagined."

"Therefore, when swordsmanship carries the will of the swordsman, man and sword become one."

"When man and sword become one, the energy exerted by swordsmanship is not only the energy contained in the human body, but also the energy of heaven and earth."

"You must understand this principle in order to transcend your physical limitations and unleash extraordinary combat power in battle."

"Therefore, from the very beginning I have emphasized that the practice of breathing techniques and sword forms must start with physical fitness, reaction speed, and willpower, none of which can be neglected."

Su Chen nodded solemnly, keeping in mind what Urokodaki Sakonji had said.
