'The current source points are 160 points. And the development of the character card of Ichimaru Gin is almost reaching its limit. It shouldn't be difficult to get 40 more source points in this world. You can draw!'

Chen Xuan opened the system panel and silently said in his heart, "Draw Aizen!"

If it was Aizen, he might be able to bring a Hogyoku. Just relying on the special feature of the Hogyoku that can make wishes come true, even if it is a small-scale "world consciousness correction", it would not be difficult to find Muzan Kibutsuji.

Coupled with Aizen's high IQ, maybe he could use this character card to study the body structure of demons, which he might be able to use in the future world.

For example, when facing an enemy, you can inject the opponent with ghost serum to turn him into a ghost - and it is daytime at this time.

If you can do that, it'll be a sure win.

"Draw a card!!"

"Monster Card——!"

Along with a flash of light that appeared in my mind, a new character card appeared in the system.

[Character Card: Kurosaki Ichigo

Unlocking degree: 1%】

“.? Ichigo Kurosaki?” Chen Xuan was stunned. It’s not that Ichigo Kurosaki is not strong, the key is that this card cannot be used now.

What special abilities does Ichigo Kurosaki have?

Transform! Strengthen your attributes, then attack.

Ichigo Kurosaki's ability is that he has no ability, or is his ability that he is handsome?

"Forget it, this card is of no use now. Let's save it for the next world." Chen Xuan sighed, feeling that he had suffered a great loss. If he could draw the card he wanted and directly find the location of Muzan Kibutsuji, he might be able to earn an extra 100 source points. Even if not 100, there should be dozens of points, and the card he drew would be equivalent to one drawn at a discount.

And the Kurosaki Ichigo that you draw now cannot be positioned in the position of Kibutsuji Muzan, which is equivalent to drawing it at full price.

However, Ichigo Kurosaki's character card is still very powerful and can be used.

Chen Xuan felt the information contained in Ichigo Kurosaki's character card.

This card is Ichigo Kurosaki's one-sword style, not the two-sword style from the Thousand Year Blood War arc, but the card can be shattered after the character card unlock degree is increased to 100%.

After the card is broken, it is equivalent to mastering all the power of Kurosaki Ichigo.

'Zangetsu' didn't want Kurosaki Ichigo to become a god of death, so he had been suppressing Kurosaki Ichigo's power. The power he used before he became a two-sword style in the Thousand Year Blood War was just a fragment of the power that 'Zangetsu' couldn't suppress.

Before the card was shattered, including now, although he can use the power of the character card, there is actually no sword spirit in the Zanpakutō.

Once you choose to shatter the card, the sword spirit inside the Zanpakutō will appear.

In other words, perhaps through conversation, Zangetsu could release the suppression of his power and directly switch to dual-sword style.

But it still feels quite awkward that a sword spirit suddenly appears, and I haven’t decided whether to break it when the time comes.

"It's still too far away. It will be difficult to achieve the card shattering task in at least the next two or three worlds." Chen Xuan switched the character card to the Kurosaki Ichigo version.

His appearance changed from Gin Ichimaru to Ichigo Kurosaki in casual clothes.

Feeling the spiritual pressure in the body. There is no doubt that this power is much stronger than when Ichimaru Gin unlocked 1%. Even if it is just a fragment of the power, the spiritual pressure alone is beyond the captain level.

He is still better than captains like Kurosaki Isshin and Urahara Kisuke.

During the battle with Aizen, neither of them could feel the spiritual pressure of Aizen Sosuke, because the gap between them was too big and they were not in the same dimension, but Kurosaki Ichigo could feel it.

Although the character card of Kurosaki Ichigo does not have any special powers, he has a strong spiritual pressure, a strong fighting talent, a fighting instinct, and multiple transformations.

Although his control over spiritual pressure is much worse than those captains who have lived for hundreds of years, Chen Xuan has experience in using the power from Ichimaru Gin's character card.

There are better ways to use this powerful spiritual pressure.

He took a deep breath, and his clothes changed from casual clothes to Shinigami suit. A bandaged Zangetsu sword appeared behind him, but he did not use Bankai to further release his power.

"Then it's——Bankai!"

I felt that, with the Bankai, the total amount of spiritual pressure in the body did not change, but the amount that could be exerted increased by about ten times.

“It increased tenfold in an instant.”

Originally, Ichigo Kurosaki's spiritual pressure was enormous, even if it was only one percent now.

"1% of Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual pressure alone is probably equivalent to 3%-5% of Ichimaru Gin's character card. The huge spiritual pressure, plus this effort."

Moreover, Bankai can be trained, and ten times is only the initial improvement.

"If it's hollowed out." Chen Xuan put his hands in front of him and then put them back: "It's too early to hollow out. Hollowing out is not as controllable as Bankai. It might burst out all the spiritual pressure in the body in an instant. Maybe it can only last for two or three seconds."

He glanced around and said, "At least it can't be used here. I'll try it out somewhere else where there's no one."

Chen Xuan switched back to the character card and shut down the system: "It's too early to use Kurosaki Ichigo's character card now. Continue to unlock Ichimaru Gin's character card."

"We'll talk about Ichigo Kurosaki's character card later..."

Chapter 37: Solution to the Markings

Chapter 37: Solution to the Markings

Chen Xuan switched back to Ichimaru Gin's character card and rethought his plan. He decided to wait for three months. Although in the original work, the final battle would begin about two months after Hana Street with the events in the Swordsmith Village.

But to be on the safe side, he would wait for another month to let Nezuko Kamado 'evolve' a little more. After three months, if no changes have occurred, he would find a way to let Muzan Kibutsuji know that the demon who defeated the sunlight has appeared.

In fact, Chen Xuan doesn't need to worry too much about this kind of thing.

It didn't take long for Chen Xuan to get the news.

During another mission, Tanjiro Kamado met Muichiro Tokito, and the demon they faced was the Upper Rank Four 'Hantengu'. In this battle, they successfully killed the Upper Rank Four, and Nezuko Kamado defeated the sun at this time.

"Well done, Hanten-gou!"

Muzan Kibutsuji was overjoyed: "The demon who can defeat the sunlight has finally appeared! He has a rare physique that has never appeared in the Twelve Demon Moons. He is the chosen demon! As long as I eat him, I will completely overcome the sunlight!"

He has lived for thousands of years, and this is the second time he has received such a surprise.

The first time was when I defeated the disease, although after that I found that I could no longer stand under the sun.

And now, he was finally going to overcome this defect that had accompanied him for thousands of years.

After the ecstasy, he gradually calmed down.

The current Twelve Demon Moons have already seen quite a few casualties, so it’s better not to look at the Lower Moon Demons.

The important thing is winding it.

Now there are only four left: the first of the upper moons, Akaza, the second of the upper moons, Douma, the third of the upper moons, Naruto, and the fifth of the upper moons, Tamakute.

As for the Demon Slayer Corps, all nine pillars are alive, including Tanjiro Kamado. Based on the battle performance of the Upper Four, although he cannot be compared with Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he can still be considered as one of the 'pillars' of the Demon Slayer Corps.

In addition, there is 'Ichimaru Gin', who can be said to be the strongest combat force in the Demon Slayer Corps at present. If they want to delay 'Ichimaru Gin', they have to let Akaza take action. In that case, there will be even fewer people left on their side, with only three upper ranks, and Naruto cannot move, so at most they can delay a few of them.

It is unknown whether Yu Hu can defeat a pillar.

The one we can really look forward to is Douma, to see if he can fight seven alone.

"With Douma's blood demon art, it is not impossible to face multiple pillars at the same time." Muzan Kibutsuji said secretly: "But it is still not enough. Kokushibo, the Kokushibo who betrayed me, is the key!"

The fact that he was able to betray him and escape from his control shows that Kokushibo has undergone tremendous changes.

If they could get him back into the Twelve Demon Moons, the Demon Slayer Corps wouldn't have to worry about them.

"Find Kokushibo for me. Once you find him, I can forgive all past wrongdoings and even let him defeat the sun like me!" Muzan Kibutsuji gave orders to the demons under his command.

Until now, he didn't know that Kokushibo was actually dead.

"Father?"

Rengoku Kyojuro, who was waving the sword in his hand, turned around and saw Rengoku Makijuro holding a wine gourd in one hand in the corridor.

He didn't say anything, just looked at his son and turned away.

Walking towards the study, he began to read books from ancient times to the present that were related to the Demon Slayer Corps.

At this time, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he didn't even bother to drink the wine. He just kept flipping through books while mumbling.

If you get close to him and put your ear next to his mouth, you may be able to hear what he is mumbling.

"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?"

He kept saying this.

Marks appeared on the body of his son, Rengoku Kyojuro!

There is no doubt that this greatly increased his combat power. Coupled with the semi-finished transparent world and the entry-level red sword, he now has the ability to fight and defeat the upper-level demons.

If he were to meet Akaza now, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

And that's where the problem lies.

According to the book passed down from generation to generation by the inheritors of Breath of Fire, those who have mastered the markings will not live to the age of twenty-five!

And his son Rengoku Kyojuro is now in his twenties. Even if he wins, it can only be three or four years, right?

"No! This cannot be the case. The situation has changed drastically. If what the lord said is true, our chances of winning this time are very high. Kyojuro! Kyojuro! Kyojuro! Survive! Survive! There must be a way, there must be a way—!"

Unfortunately, he had actually guessed a long time ago that his son might be able to enter the realm of 'marked'. Although the book did not record how to achieve it, his son Rengoku Kyojuro was a genius.

Although he cannot be compared with the person who has mastered the initial breathing method, he is also a natural strong man. If he knew about the existence of the stripes, he might be able to reach this level with his own abilities.

So he tore up the relevant books.

And now, he was reaping the fruits of his own actions. He couldn't even find the information about "whether there were any special cases" that he wanted to check, and could only vaguely recall it.

But long-term alcoholism has made his brain chaotic, and now he can't remember the relevant content at all.

"There must be a way, there must be a way!!"

This change in events provided him with 15 source points, pushing the source points to 75 points.

At the same time, during this period of time, he also relied on the Sun Breathing to master the patterns and the transparent world. Perhaps because the blade was not the Nichirin Sword, he did not master the Kakuto - no matter how strong the force of holding the Zanpakuto was, the Zanpakuto would not change color.

And by relying on the transparent world, he can better understand his own and others' physical conditions, and can use this ability to more deeply utilize the spirit particles to heal injuries.

Heal the wounds left by using breathing techniques, heal the wounds left by activating markings.

Chapter 38 Pearl World

Chapter 38: Pearl World

There are two prerequisites for the activation of the stripes.

That is, the body temperature reaches above 39 degrees and the pulse is above 200. After meeting these two conditions and being able to continue fighting without dying, the conditions for activating the markings are met.

After the stripes are activated, the body temperature and pulse rate are actually still increasing, which is a huge burden on the body.

If an ordinary person wants to open it, he will die immediately.

Only the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps have their bodies well-trained and are much stronger than ordinary people.

It is precisely because of this that they are able to withstand such physical damage and possess this kind of self-mutilation power called "stripes".

After the markings are activated, there is huge damage to the body, heart, blood vessels, etc. Even if he uses spirit particles, it will take Gin Ichimaru several hours to restore his body to its original state.

If he could master the treatment method of 'Return to the Dao', the result would definitely be different, but he does not know how to 'Return to the Dao'.

However, relying on his own multiple treatments of his body, he also mastered certain methods of using spirit particles for treatment, which could be considered a "pseudo-return to the Tao".

In the next battle with Muzan Kibutsuji, it would not matter even if a member of the Demon Slayer Corps activated the 'marks' during the battle, as long as no one took two or three days after the battle to let him use the spirit particles to heal his body, the body would return to its original state.

However, the prerequisite is that you do not activate the pattern again after that.

This is actually very easy to do.

As long as Muzan Kibutsuji dies, there will be no one in this world who can be a match for these members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and there will naturally be no need to activate the markings.

As long as they don't activate the markings, they have a normal lifespan and will live as long as they are supposed to.
