And I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Tanjiro Kamado felt that after he was injured, the person in front of him seemed to smile even more happily and increased his attack speed.

"It must be an illusion. It must be an illusion caused by my lack of concentration and slow reaction." Tanjiro Kamado said to himself.

"That's it? Is that all? You won't be seriously injured this way." Ichimaru Gin said with a smile: "You will die immediately."

"—!"

Damn it!

Tanjiro Kamado wanted to change this situation, but all he could do was "Concentrate!" "Concentrate!" "Concentrate!" Although he wanted to use the sword type to counterattack, he couldn't do it at all.

Now he has no way of unfolding the sword shape.

Gin Ichimaru's attack was too fast. He had already used all his strength just to resist and avoid getting hurt. He had no way of launching a counterattack.

"Hmm?" Ichimaru Gin paused his attack, then knocked Kamado Tanjiro's head with the hilt of his knife: "Okay, take a break."

"Can we take a break now?" Tanjiro Kamado sat directly on the ground. He felt stars in his eyes and his limbs were shaking.

"That's right. There's no point in continuing like this. Your breathing is already messed up. Just rest for five minutes."

“Five, five minutes!?” Tanjiro Kamado widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Yes, five minutes." Ichimaru Gin turned around, smiled even more deeply, and said with his mouth slightly opened: "There are still four minutes and forty-one seconds left."

"Goo-"

Tanjiro Kamado didn't dare to waste any more time and sat down cross-legged. At this moment, his hands were shaking and his lungs felt like they were burning.

Take a deep breath. Take slow, deep breaths.

"Five minutes, no, four minutes. I must use this time to recover enough strength to fight."

The pressure is too great. Even though I have mastered the fully concentrated breathing method, facing such great pressure still makes my breathing disordered and increases the difficulty of breathing.

'Isn't this his full strength?' Tanjiro Kamado thought to himself as he closed his eyes to recover: 'I don't know if he used breathing techniques, but he didn't use sword form at all. I couldn't handle the continuous thrusts. However, fighting with such a strong man, maybe I can really improve my strength, so that I can protect more people.'

Gin Ichimaru was also summarizing Tanjiro Kamado's breathing melody.

Maybe because Gin Ichimaru is a genius, he also obtained this talent. When fighting with Tanjiro Kamado, he experienced some of the Breathing of the Sun.

“If I continue like this, I should be able to master the Breathing of the Sun.”

It just takes a very long time. If someone teaches, it will be much faster. Unfortunately, Tanjiro Kamado does not have the talent to teach.

During the whole day, except for the slightly longer break at lunch, as long as their hands and feet could move, they would be pulled up for training.

But he did not suffer too many injuries, at most some superficial wounds. With Tanjiro Kamado's current physical condition and Chouya's situation, he will recover in no time.

But because of this, he personally experienced the huge gap in strength between the two.

The reason is simple, Ichimaru Gin's knife has been aiming at his head and stabbing towards his head, giving him an irresistible feeling of oppression without actually hurting him, which is enough to illustrate the huge gap in strength between the two.

However, because he has been fighting like this, there is one thing he has not figured out: 'Have I made any progress?'

I trained for a whole day, but it all felt the same. I just kept dodging attacks and blocking attacks, with almost no ability to fight back.

He didn't know if it was because Gin Ichimaru was adjusting his strength or if he hadn't made any progress at all.

"I'm so tired~" Tanjiro Kamado lay on the bed with his arms and legs spread, looking at the ceiling above his head in a daze.

"You - you went to train secretly by yourself, didn't you?" Inosuke Mohira, who was wearing a pig head mask, rushed in and looked at Tanjiro Kamado and said, "I know! You went to the back mountain, didn't you?"

"Does Inosuke know about the back mountain?"

"Of course!" Inosuke Hashibira folded his hands in front of his chest and turned his head away, breathing heavily through his pig-head mask: "Take me with you to tomorrow's training, too!"

He had been playing in the back mountain every day during this period of time, and he had noticed that place a long time ago.

"It's okay with me." Tanjiro Kamado said, "But I don't know if Mr. Ichimaru would be willing, and aren't you practicing the full concentration breathing method?"

"It doesn't matter, I'll be fine even in a battle!" Inosuke Hashibira shouted. He didn't want to be left behind by his companions.

This is also true for the current practice of the Full Concentration Breathing Method. Part of the reason is that Tanjiro Kamado learned it, and he was left behind because he didn't.

"Then I'll ask Mr. Ichimaru tomorrow. What about you, Zenitsu?"

"Forget it, Mr. Ichimaru is a man, and he looks so murderous. If Miss Shinobu is in charge of the training, I will participate." Agatsuma Zenitsu drooled as he spoke, "If Miss Shinobu is in charge of the training, I can hold on no matter how difficult it is!"

“Ahh——” Agatsuma Zenitsu rolled over wrapped in the bed sheet: “It would be even better if Miss Shinobu could hold my hand and cheer me up!”

"Ah, this guy."

"It's hopeless."

"What's the result? I heard that you were helping Tanjiro train?" Shinobu Kocho came to the back mountain, where there were swords all over the ground. These were the failed ones that Gin Ichimaru had taken from the sword-forging village before.

Even the knives forged in the Sword Forging Village cannot all be made of "Orangutan Crimson Iron Sand" and "Orangutan Crimson Ore". These are made when they use ordinary materials for practice.

It was of no use to the Demon Slayer Corps, so it was taken away by Gin Ichimaru.

"It's not bad. The kid is very patient." Ichimaru Gin put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile, "His reaction speed didn't drop much due to fatigue during the whole day. He will have a rest tonight and will improve a little after recovering tomorrow."

And he has more or less figured out the trick to Sun Breathing.

Chapter 19 Mastery

Chapter 19 Mastery

"How scary! All three of them look so aggressive." Ichimaru Gin looked at the three people in front of him and smiled, "Okay, let's go together."

Ichimaru Gin took out his Zanpakutō and said, "In this case, I'll use this sword. It's more convenient to use."

"That sword? Such a short sword?" Tanjiro Kamado was stunned for a moment: "Will it really be easy to fight with such a short sword?"

"Tanjiro."

"Yes--!"

"You can use any sword style you want, whether it's Water Breathing or Fire God Kagura, it doesn't matter, there are no restrictions today." Ichimaru Gin narrowed his eyes and said, "I have to be serious too, after all, facing three people at the same time. If I'm not careful, I might get hurt."

"Liar!" said Inosuke Hashibira as he ate his meal. "What's that 'you'll get hurt if you're not careful'? But even if the three of us worked together, we still couldn't do anything!"

He felt like his confidence was about to be shaken. What was that? A snake? Or a snake that he couldn't catch no matter what and kept biting himself?

"It's just a monster," Agatsuma Zenitsu said, hugging his legs and shaking. "I told him I couldn't do it anymore, but he wouldn't stop. I feel like I'll die if I slow down. And what's with that sword? Why did it get longer?"

Agatsuma Zenitsu felt like he was in hell today. Even if he was extremely tired and lay on the ground, if he didn't stand up when the rest time was up, or tried to escape, the knife in Ichimaru Gin's hand would instantly become longer and almost stab him several times!

There's no way to run away!

"But it's really strong!" Tanjiro Kamado said with shining eyes: "I feel that my sword form has improved a bit, but I don't know if it's an illusion, but I vaguely feel like I have grasped something!"

In the repeated battles with Gin Ichimaru, Tanjiro Kamado gradually realized his own shortcomings, the slight differences in his lower body footwork, the lightness and heaviness of his breathing, and he was improving his moves bit by bit.

"I don't know why, but I always feel like there's another person using the Fire God Kagura in my mind. Is it because I'm too tired from fighting that I'm hallucinating?" Tanjiro Kamado didn't understand this phenomenon.

Especially according to Gin Ichimaru, when trying to connect the twelve forms together and repeat them over and over again, there is always a feeling that something is about to burst out from the heart, but you still can't grasp the key points.

The main problem is that it is fine to activate Full Concentration using Water Breathing, but not when using Fire God Kagura.

Once the body is used, it becomes very difficult to control. In fact, until now he has not been able to fully display the twelve forms of Fire Goddess Kagura, and it always breaks in the middle.

If he used three or four forms of Fire God Kagura in a row, he would feel so uncomfortable that he couldn't move and had to rest for a few minutes. If he ignored his physical condition and used it forcefully, he could use six forms in a row, and then it would not be "uncomfortable and unable to move" but truly "completely unable to move".

This must be overcome.

"You're so nice." Agatsuma Zenitsu sighed, "You're the type who can persevere, but I'm different. I won't go tomorrow. I don't even know if I can get up tomorrow. I have no feeling in my legs and hands."

Agatsuma Zenitsu picked up the bowl and said, "Look, my hands are shaking as I hold the bowl now."

"But Mr. Ichimaru will come to call you." Tanjiro Kamado said while eating: "Didn't he say that since we have started, we should stick to it?"

"Damn it! It's all your fault for dragging me over! I'm going to die. I'm dead. I'm dead tomorrow." Agatsuma Zenitsu had a sad look on his face: "I'll go back and write a suicide note first."

Gin Ichimaru connected the twelve types of moves together to form the thirteenth type. Although this move is useless against Gin Ichimaru's character card, it is useful to his original body.

"I originally thought that the so-called Fire God Kagura was actually just a degraded version of the Sun Breathing. After all, it has been passed down for hundreds of years, so there will be some distortion. But this feeling... If I am correct, this breathing method also has the ability to correct errors?"

"It's really scary, it's simply a monster." Ichimaru Gin looked at the sword in his hand: "This breathing method, this sword shape is a move with a soul. It actually has a soul. Ah, this is the first time I know of such a thing."

Although it is not known how he did it, Tsuchikuni Yoriichirō did immerse part of his soul in this sword move. Anyone who has practiced the Fire God Kagura to a certain level can touch Tsuchikuni Yoriichirō's soul to some extent.

From this, you can understand the true meaning of the Breathing of the Sun.

Although he is still far from this level, after all, he has just mastered it and it is still very difficult to use, but Gin Ichimaru's character card is the Grim Reaper after all, so he can feel some of its aura.

In other words, as long as people who have practiced the Fire God Kagura throughout the ages have reached a certain level, even if they are not able to do it at the beginning, they will eventually get closer to the level that Yoshiichi Tsugumi passed down this breathing method.

The Fire God Kagura may have some distortion, but the distortion is very minimal and its value is extremely high.

'Although it is not suitable for Gin Ichimaru, if I draw other character cards later, I might be able to use it.' Gin Ichimaru thought to himself: 'After all, Gin Ichimaru's moves are mainly stabbing, and his greatest weapon is 'distance'. He relies on Bankai to instantly close the distance between the enemy and us. The best attack range is when the opponent is ten meters away and within sight, and the Sun Breathing move does not have this kind of ultra-long-distance attack effect.'

'But I can't practice Ichimaru Gin's spiritual pressure, ghost arts, etc., which still rely on unlocking degrees. It's better to practice the Breathing of the Sun so that I won't be so weak after removing the character card.'

In addition, he also needs to gather strength so that he can continue to become stronger, and the strongest move in this world is undoubtedly the one mastered by Tsugumi Yuichiro.

Now that the strongest one has been obtained, what is needed next is to practice continuously and improve one's own level.

After mastering the Sun Breathing to a certain extent, Gin Ichimaru will return to his room at night and carefully sense the fluctuations of souls around him. Once there is no breath at all, he will remove the character card of 'Gin Ichimaru' and use his main body to perform Sun Breathing to train his body.

This feeling is so uncomfortable.

Although his body had been trained by spiritual pressure, he felt that it was probably no match for the weakest demon he had ever encountered, and he had no way of using the Sun Breathing for a long period of time.

The most important thing is body temperature. If you use Sun Breathing for a long time, your body temperature will rise to 38 or 39 degrees, and the longer you use it, the higher it will go.

If you can hold on, use Ichimaru Gin's character card for treatment. A normal person would die from a fever if he did this.

But there is one good thing. Once your body can't support it anymore, just use the character card. At this time, Ichimaru Gin's spiritual pressure will slowly repair the damage he has suffered. After releasing the character card again, you will have a slight improvement.

Moreover, he had the experience of using Sun Breathing which he had gained when using Gin Ichimaru's character card, so it was not difficult for him to master the full concentration breathing method of Sun Breathing relying solely on his own strength.

One or two months is enough to complete it.

Chapter 20 The end of training

Chapter 20 The End of Training

Complete collection, Changzhong.

Maybe because Ichimaru Gin put too much pressure on them, the two of them mastered the skills faster than in the original work. In the manga, Agatsuma Zenitsu and Hashibira Inosuke mastered Full Concentration: Jōchū in just nine days after being encouraged by Shinobu Kocho and starting training again.

In fact, these two people are geniuses. Tanjiro Kamado is relatively ordinary, but he has a trait that these two people do not have: "never give up."

He never gave up because of difficulties, and worked hard, and kept working hard!

Looking at this effort, anyone can only say it is "very dazzling".

This time, with the pressure from Ichimaru Gin, the two had to work harder than before, and it only took them seven days to master the Full Concentration: Changzhong - so in the remaining days, Ichimaru Gin intensified his training.

"Oh my, this is really fast progress." Ichimaru Gin put away his Zanpakutō and said, "If this continues, it won't be long before he surpasses me."

"You're lying!" Inosuke Hashibira, who was lying on the ground, turned over and stood up: "It sounds good, but in the end I still can't touch you!"

"It touched me." Ichimaru Gin pointed at the hole on his shoulder that was torn by the blade and said, "Look, your blade has touched me."

"Mr. Ichimaru!" Tanjiro Kamado asked breathlessly, "How far are we from becoming a pillar?"
