Later, Urokodaki Sakonji found a huge rock. He was not allowed to use the wave ripples, and he could not cut the rock with only the Nichirin Sword.

For him, breaking a cup is easy, breaking a pair of chopsticks is also easy, but using chopsticks to split the cup in half without breaking the chopsticks is difficult for him.

On this day, Tanjiro was still training as usual. He had grown to 1.77 meters tall, which was no longer considered short. With his well-developed muscles, loose light red medium-length hair, and determined eyes, Qiu Wenjian felt that Tanjiro had grown to a level that satisfied him.

It feels like practicing a gaming account. After a year and a half of getting along, Qiu Wenjian likes Tanjiro very much.

"Eula!"

Tanjiro slashed at the boulder, but there was still no reaction.

"Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola!"

He struck several times with his sword, but still no response.

This has been going on for half a year.

If he could use ripples, Tanjiro half a year ago could have smashed the boulder with one punch, but Mr. Urokodaki's request was too difficult to achieve.

"What are you yelling about?"

A man wearing a fox mask suddenly appeared on the boulder.

He is Satsuki, the apprentice of Urokodaki Sakonji, the senior of Tomioka Giyuu, and the deceased ghost.

He jumped down from the rock and looked at Tanjiro, who was younger than him but much taller than him, feeling a little emotional.

The master has really found a good candidate, but it’s a pity that he hasn’t mastered the swordsmanship yet.

Although Teng Xishan's hand ghost had been taken away by a strange person with magic, the souls of himself and others were still with the master. However, seeing that the child was blindly chopping the boulder, he couldn't help but come out to give him practical guidance.

Even though it's just guidance, if this kid fights seriously, he can defeat me just by relying on his physical fitness, right?

However, his sword moves were still too immature.

In this way, the soul of Sanusagi gave Tanjiro actual combat training in swordsmanship, and his other fellow girl, Makomo, corrected Tanjiro's incorrect sword techniques after the actual combat.

Finally, after another half a year, Qiu Wenjian was able to skillfully use several breathing techniques, but he had not yet integrated the ripples into them. Tanjiro had also mastered the sword moves.

In the final battle with Saki, Tanjiro saw the gap in the air through his sense of smell, and with just his sword moves, he cut through Saki's mask and split the boulder.

Qiu Wenjian, who had been observing secretly, walked up to Tanjiro and patted Tanjiro, who had grown taller than him.

Tanjiro, who was only fifteen years old, had grown to a height of 1.85 meters thanks to Qiu Wenjian's daily nutrition enhancement and wave-wave-assisted absorption, as well as his own practice of wave-wave qigong. His body was covered with well-proportioned muscles, strong and handsome. He was the standard hunk who looked thin when dressed and muscular when undressed.

"Tan Sekiro, you succeeded and grew up... In two years, you've grown taller than me."

"Hehe, thanks to Brother Qiuqiu, he prepares delicious food for me every day and uses ripples to help me grow."

Tanjiro's voice also became richer and more magnetic than its original timbre.

All in all, Qiu Wenjian's plan to train Tanjiro has been initially realized.

Chapter 94 Chapter 37 The plot begins to be too invincible

"Tanjiro, you did it successfully."

Mr. Urokodaki Sakonji also came over and saw Tanjiro cut the boulder.

"I actually don't want to train any more disciples. Of all the disciples I've trained over the years, no one has survived except Giyuu. I originally didn't want you to participate in the selection for the Demon Slayer Corps, but... you've become very strong now. With the help of Mr. Qiuqiu, I believe that no difficulty can stop you. You've already done it, and you've cut off the last problem I left for you."

The old man also patted Tanjiro.

"Come with me, I'll tell you about the Demon Slayer Corps selection."

Qiu Wenjian followed Tanjiro back into the house.

There's nothing good to hear. Qiu Wenjian has already transformed and participated once. In fact, the Demon Slayer Corps had a headache before. A man who called himself Sougokutaro passed the selection of the Demon Slayer Corps a year ago, but he never showed up after the end. The address he left was also fake, and they didn't even know where to send the finished Nichirin Sword.

Maybe he is dead. People in the Demon Slayer Corps often lose contact, and most of these people are killed by demons.

Urokodaki Sakonji gave Tanjiro a fox mask, a blessing mask that means warding off disasters.

Although Tanjiro, whose style has become close to that of Jojo, looks a bit strange wearing this mask, he still accepted the mask with emotion.

For two years, he kept training himself and finally gained the recognition of Urokodaki Sakonji and Qiu Wenjian.

After saying goodbye to Nezuko, who had been sleeping for two years and still hadn't woken up, Tanjiro changed into the new clothes with water patterns given to him by Urokodaki Sakonji and set off for the selection location.

Qiu Wenjian followed Tanjiro to Fujishiki Mountain. He planned to wait for Tanjiro to perform brilliantly in the selection, and then have a good exchange of ideas on killing demons and the remaining breathing styles with the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kōya.

The best thing would be to get some blood back from all nine pillars.

Although these nine pillars are not very strong, their sword moves are real.

"Tan Sekiro, there shouldn't be any ghosts in this mountain that can stop you, but you still have to be careful."

"I know, Brother Qiuqiu, be careful."

"Well, go ahead then. I'll go through the wisteria forest and wait for you at the top of the mountain."

"Okay, big brother Qiuqiu, see you in seven days!"

Tanjiro waved to Qiu Wenjian and walked into Fujixi Mountain.

The selection has begun.

In fact, the difficulty of selecting the Demon Slayer Corps this time is higher than the original one.

The hand ghost was sealed away by Zhang Jie, resulting in the loss of a very powerful ghost on the mountain. Originally, every time someone came for selection, most of the resources would be carefully controlled by the hand ghost, and the lower-level ghosts could only fight for one at the risk of their lives. But after the hand ghost was gone, the number of people that the ghosts could eat became more diverse. In other words, a powerful single individual monopolized the resources. After this individual was removed, although the high-end combat effectiveness decreased, after the resources were reasonably distributed, the overall strength of the ghosts on the mountain actually increased.

Therefore, it is more difficult for newcomers to pass this time.

But it’s actually nothing. In the original work, only five people passed the level. Even if the demons here became stronger, Tanjiro also became stronger.

Much stronger.

Excluding actual combat experience, Qiu Wenjian feels that Tanjiro's current efficiency in killing demons is no less than that of the Nine Pillars.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

The lethality of the ripples to demons is equivalent to that of the sun, and Qiu Wenjian heals Tanjiro's fatigue every day, which is actually strengthening his body at the same time.

With his current physical strength alone, Tanjiro can fight against the demon, not to mention using ripples.

The first day in Tengxi Mountain.

Tanjiro first estimated the mountain by eye, and concluded that if he ran at full speed without any obstacles and without resting, he could finish the journey in one day.

However, the requirement is to stay for seven days, so there are two options. One is to travel during the day, kill ghosts at night, set up camp when you are about to reach the destination on the third day, and come out after seven days.

The second plan is to only march for half a day during the day, while scouting the surroundings and setting up camps, and resting for the remaining half a day. At night, rely on the camp and the traps set, without moving, until the end.

Tanjiro began to move forward according to the second plan, but now it was night, so he could only move forward slowly.

After walking a short distance, Tanjiro smelled the scent of a ghost.

More than one.

"Hahahaha! It's been a while since I've eaten a human! This one's mine!"

"Get out of here! This guy belongs to me!"

Before the two demons could attack Tanjiro, they started fighting among themselves.

"This is really... two ghost gentlemen, I have something to ask you."

None of the ghosts paid any attention to Tanjiro. Based on the strength reactions he saw, he should be able to take out these two ghosts with just one punch?

However, Brother Qiuqiu said that we should be cautious and try it ourselves first.

He punched the ground, sending up a lot of gravel, and Tanjiro punched again.

"Ola Ola Ola Ola!!!"

The rubble did not carry any energy, it was simply thrown out by Tanjiro, with the clear target being one of the demons. The demon had no time to react and was shot in the head on the spot.

Seeing this, Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dodge. His speed and reaction were very slow, so the stone could hit his head. His defense was also very poor. He was indeed very weak.

"The wind breaks through."

Tanjiro did not draw his sword, but suddenly accelerated and appeared in front of the two ghosts.

The one that was shot in the head had just recovered and was roaring.

"You guy!!!"

Tanjiro punched another demon that was about to attack him in the head, and used the ripple, and the demon was like being exposed to the sun, with no trace left.

He just wanted the other ghost to understand that it was meaningless to resist him.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

Tanjiro looked at the dazed ghost with some pity and thought to himself.

It is such a sad thing that I killed a ghost. I hope it can be a human in its next life.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! It’s sunlight?! Why?!”

The ghost retreated desperately as if he had seen a ghost.

However, Tanjiro picked him up and held him tightly.

"Can I ask you a question? Do you know how to turn a ghost into a human?"

"Ahhhh!!!"

The demon bared its fangs and claws and tried to attack Tanjiro, but its hands and feet were melted by the ripples.

"Can you answer me?"

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Can you change the word?"

"Ahhhh!!!"

Tanjiro had no choice but to use ripples to exorcise the evil spirit, but he couldn't communicate...

Chapter 95: Miss Butterfly is Too Silent

It was the third night since Tanjiro arrived at Fujisaka Mountain.

He woke up from a deep sleep, because big brother Qiuqiu always made him practice the ability to go to bed and wake up at regular times. Now he can control his biological clock very well and can wake up whenever he wants.

He looked energetic and none of the traps set around him seemed to have been triggered.

Brother Qiuqiu said that a good hunter must be able to use various traps. Sometimes when there are no props at hand, he must be able to make reasonable use of all the props around him.

Digging a pit is the most convenient way to trap someone. Fallen rocks and logs are also easy to find in forests and mountains.

However, because Tanjiro was worried that his traps would cause harm to other people, he only set some around himself. He also placed bells on the outside of the trap circle, which would serve as a warning if someone accidentally entered, and also serve as a reminder to himself.

Ghosts won't care about the ringing, and the surrounding traps won't get rid of them, but they can give you time to prepare.

Staying in the makeshift camp, Tanjiro began to meditate.

This is also a kind of spiritual training. Until now, he still cannot perfectly combine the ripples and the Breathing of Water. The most he can do now is to add ripples to the Sun Blade, and then use the sword technique of the Breathing of Water to kill the monsters. Just like Brother Qiuqiu said, he can turn the ripples into real water and combine it perfectly with the Breathing of Water... This is too difficult.

However, Big Brother Qiuqiu didn't do this either. He was a genius and mastered all five basic breathing styles in half a year. Even such a genius couldn't combine two breathing methods, but Tanjiro was not discouraged.

However, we should not stop trying, and Tanjiro is not afraid that he will not be able to do it. Brother Qiuqiu once said that no matter what difficulties we encounter, we should not be afraid, but face it with a smile. The best way to eliminate fear is to face it, and persistence is victory.

Tanjiro has always regarded this sentence as a golden saying, but he doesn't understand what the "Oli Gei" that follows it means.

While he was thinking about how to make the ripples look like real water and attach them to the sword moves, the bell he had set up suddenly rang.

It seems that something is coming. Tanjiro has already saved many ghosts in these days.

According to Brother Qiuqiu, these ghosts are already dead humans, and the act of eliminating ghosts by oneself is considered to be helping the dead souls to be reincarnated, which is a good thing.

But the gentle Tanjiro is compassionate even to ghosts. He can yell "Oola" at a stone for a long time, but when it comes to getting rid of a ghost, he will forget to yell "Oola" with one punch.

He knew that he had hesitated when he took action, and he was already correcting that.

Be decisive and give those ghosts a quick death.

With this thought in mind, Tanjiro hid himself.

Big Brother Qiuqiu had taught him how to hide himself. Even with a burly figure of 1.85 meters, he could hide well if he wanted to. He just needed to adjust his breathing, keep his heart as clear as ice, and not be startled even if the sky fell.
