Simultaneous time travel: But our system is out of sync!

Hearing Urokodaki Sakonji's slightly teasing words.

Lin Bei was somewhat speechless after confirming once again that Urokodaki Sakonji had been secretly observing them all along.

After all, the scene of Tanjiro losing control of his power and turning into a giant ball of muscle is still vivid in our minds.

However, Lin Bei had his own reasons.

"I admit I've been feeding them a bit too much."

"But that doesn't mean I did anything wrong."

"I didn't lead Tanjiro down a wrong path, but a difficult one that will take him the furthest."

"As someone who experienced it firsthand, I know exactly how terrifying that ghost was."

"I want to kill it and avenge my family."

"One must be able to do what ordinary people cannot."

"You and Giyu Tomioka are both very strong."

"Breathing techniques are also amazing."

"But that's not enough."

Even the most exquisite skills require a strong body and strength to execute.

"The reason I brought Tanjiro and Nezuko to you is naturally because I acknowledge your abilities."

"But at the same time, I will not let Tanjiro stop training his body."

Lin Bei did not tell Urokodaki Sakonji that the demon who killed Tanjiro's family was Muzan.

Because it doesn't serve any purpose other than causing him more trouble.

So he just told Urokodaki Sakonji that the demon was very strong.

And that showed his determination.

Upon hearing Lin Bei's words, Urokodaki Sakonji remained silent for a while.

He learned about Tanjiro's family and Rinho's ordeal from Tomioka Giyu's letter.

He also saw in Giyu Tomioka's letter the guilt his disciple felt for not being able to save Tanjiro's family.

He also saw the expectations that Giyu Tomioka had for the three of them.

That's why they were willing to accept and teach the three of them.

He didn't know how strong the ghost was, but from Lin Bei's words, he could sense the harm the ghost had caused to Lin Bei and the others.

This harm is not only physical, but also psychological.

Like most members who join the Demon Slayer Corps.

So he spoke slowly.

"We are all people who hate ghosts."

"Me too!"

"I'm glad you have this awareness."

"This kind of resolve to do anything to kill demons."

"And I completely agree with your point of view."

"A strong body is fundamental."

"But I think you should also know the principle that too much of a good thing can be bad."

"Not everyone can be as powerful as you, relying solely on strength."

"Therefore, my training for Tanjiro will focus more on technique."

I hope you can understand.

Lin Bei was quite surprised to hear that Urokodaki Sakonji could understand him so well and explain it to him.

He couldn't help but sigh again.

"It can't be Giyu Tomioka's mentor."

"They're all people with tough exteriors but soft hearts!"

So he solemnly thanked Urokodaki Sakonji.

And at the same time, he made a decision in his heart.

When the Demon Slayer Trial comes, he will definitely treat the Hand Demon well.

To avenge the disciples of Urokodaki Sakonji who died at the hands of the Hand Demon.

Just as Lin Bei and Urokodaki Sakonji finished their conversation, Tanjiro finally caught up with them.

By this time, a day had passed unnoticed, and night had returned.

Tanjiro hadn't even had a chance to rest when Urokodaki Sakonji arranged for him to have another lesson.

Just like in the original story, Sakonji Urokodaki asked Tanjiro to return to their home before the sun rose again.

And there was no one to guide us.

This time, Tanjiro faces more than just a test of physical strength and patience.

There was also an increasingly thick fog and numerous traps and mechanisms.

It is a test of both physical strength and intelligence.

And just after Tanjiro began his second trial...

Lin Bei then asked Urokodaki Sakonji about himself.

"Master Urokodaki Sakonji, it seems you already have a plan for how to teach Tanji."

"Then I'd also like to ask about our final breathing technique."

"What method should I use to cross that threshold as soon as possible?"

Upon hearing Lin Bei's question, Urokodaki Sakonji hesitated, a rare occurrence for him.

His brows were furrowed, as if he was deep in thought.

After a short while, he slowly spoke.

"Your path and Tanjiro's path are different."

"He's a living person, and I don't know what you are."

"Neither a ghost nor a living person."

"They can move and eat, but they have no heartbeat or breathing."

"In your case, it's practically impossible for you to learn breathing techniques."

"After all, the premise of breathing techniques is being able to breathe."

"But you just happened to have your own temper."

"This is almost impossible for anyone who knows breathing techniques."

"So, in your case, I don't have any clue what to do at the moment."

"We can only say that we'll observe for a while before making a decision."

Lin Bei nodded upon hearing Urokodaki Sakonji's words.

Although he was somewhat disappointed, he was not surprised.

He had anticipated this outcome.

His worst-case scenario was that Urokodaki Sakonji simply refused to accept him.

After all, for an organization like the Demon Slayer Corps, whose mission is to kill demons, a living dead like him is someone who can be killed by mistake but cannot be let go.

After all, one Muzan is enough.

Nobody wants a second monster to appear.

But Urokodaki Sakonji not only accepted him, but was also willing to help him find a way to learn breathing techniques.

This was an unexpected bonus for Lin Bei.

So Lin Bei wasn't in a hurry. He stood next to Urokodaki Sakonji and watched Tanjiro stumble and fall through the fog and traps in the forest.

Lin Bei turned his head away embarrassedly after seeing that the trap that Urokodaki Sakonji had used to train Tanjiro's skills had been destroyed by Tanjiro's brute force.

Even through the mask, I could tell from Urokodaki Sakonji's eyes that he was very angry.

After all, no one would be happy if a carefully designed scene were destroyed by brute force.

And so, half a year passed.

Under the training of Sakonji Urokodaki, Tanjiro has overcome his "bad habit" of using brute force to clear stages.

Tanjiro has slowly begun to use his brain and has already achieved some results.

This led Urokodaki Sakonji to declare for the third time in front of Rinhoku that Tanjiro was a rare genius.

And then, after having dinner at Urokodaki Sakonji's house once again, and cleaning up the utterly chaotic scene of the meal.

However, Sakonji Urokodaki did not take Tanjiro to training as usual.

Instead, he spoke to Lin Bei.

"After so many days, I think I've probably found a solution to your problem."

Upon hearing Urokodaki Sakonji's words, Lin Bei's face immediately lit up with joy.

"What method?"

Urokodaki Sakonji looked at Rinbei and said, word by word.

"Go accept the demon-slaying bounty!"

"Fighting demons."

"Only through battle can you truly unleash your potential and discover your own unique breathing technique."

At this point, Urokodaki Sakonji's voice became even more serious.

"The most important thing is to go early and come back early, and be careful."

"And earn money to buy some food and drinks."

"You guys can eat so much! You've eaten my equivalent of two years' worth of food in just half a month."

"If this continues, we'll probably have to eat tree bark and become the first ghost hunters in the world to starve to death."
