However, although Taojuro was surprised by the speed at which Long Yan's strength grew, he was only surprised.
Just like the actual combat level of level 12 is slightly higher than Momojuro's level 11, it will allow Long Yan to have stronger performance in battle and more possibilities to create miracles. Even fighting against opponents of higher levels is not too difficult.
However, compared with the level 21 My Style Swordsmanship and the Flying Sword Style Swordsmanship, the level 11 Breathing of Fire is equally overwhelming.
After confirming that Long Yan's strength had greatly increased, Tao Shoulang also loosened up a bit. Not only did his attack speed increase greatly, but his strength also became stronger with each strike.
For a moment, Long Yan, who had just been complacent about himself for accurately blocking Momojuro's attack, instantly lost his temper.
However, although he was in a passive situation where he could only reduce the damage of being hit by blocking, Long Yan was very happy in his heart.
It's not that he has some strange masochistic tendencies, but in his opinion, the gap between him and Momojuro is not as big as he imagined!
Even though he knew that if the bamboo swords in the hands of the two men were replaced with real swords, he would probably be covered in blood, he still continued to block with great pleasure.
Because he has mastered the method of becoming stronger!
Among ordinary people, Momojuro's talent is definitely considered a genius-level swordsman, but unlike Momojuro who can only get slight improvements through long-term hard training, he has a cheat!
As long as he is given a certain amount of time to accumulate experience, perhaps with a martial arts level of 16 or 17, he would be able to possess the power to compete with the current Momojuro!

Chapter 106: You are still too naive, young man
Rengoku Momojuro's slashes were as swift as the wind and as fierce as fire.
Facing his fierce attack like a storm, Long Yan, holding a bamboo sword, maintained a defensive posture. While trying his best to ensure that his vital parts were not hit, he was able to occasionally launch one or two counterattacks unexpectedly with his slightly higher combat level.
Although it didn't feel good to be constantly being beaten, the 10-level difference in martial arts skills between the two did not make him feel as overwhelmed as when he faced Busujima Saeko, which made him very happy.
However, although he said so, Long Yan, who had been holding on all the time, couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
Although Busujima Saeko's Busujima-ryu swordsmanship certainly has its strengths, Breathing of Fire should not be such a weak thing.
Otherwise, how have the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps relied on to fight against the evil demons under Muzan Kibutsuji for thousands of years?
However, the next second, Rengoku Matsujuro, who had been sitting cross-legged on the side of the vine, gave the answer.
"Don't dilly-dally, Momojuro. If you keep going like this, Brother Longyan will look down on us."
"Yes, Dad!"
It happened in the blink of an eye. At the moment when Taojuro's voice fell, Taojuro standing in front of him seemed like a different person. In just a blink of an eye, the terrifying aura even made Long Yan forget to breathe.
Breath of Fire·One Type·Shiranui!
"boom!"
"Crack!"
Same person, same moves, but completely different effects.
In the huge courtyard of the Purgatory family, a figure began to fly up like a kite with a broken string.
When Long Yan landed on the ground, his eyes were wide open and he didn't even understand what had happened in that split second.
impossible!
This was his first reaction after landing.
It's not like he hasn't fought against opponents of higher levels before. When his swordsmanship was only at level 7, he had a one-on-one duel with Takano, a DOUBT cadre who was at level 16 in a Gundam street fight.
Although he had the status blessing of [King of Demons] and [Zi Bu Yu Strange Powers and Chaos] cards at that time, and the "Shock" status weakened Takano's overall strength by 20%, but the gap of almost 10 levels could never be shown to be so huge!
No, calm down!
The intense shock caused Long Yan's mind to shake for a moment, but his strong will forced him to calm down.
Without getting up in a hurry, Long Yan lay on the broken stones in the courtyard of the Purgatory Family. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He just closed his eyes and tried hard to recall the details before he was knocked away by Momojuro.
Feeling the not-too-painful "wound" on his chest, his keen senses allowed him to realize the problem in just a moment, and he replayed the knife attack in his mind.
Just at the moment when Rengoku Matsujuro's words fell, Momojuro's momentum suddenly soared. The strong pressure even made Long Yan have the illusion that his opponent had changed.
What followed was a slash that was simple and unpretentious to the extreme.
That blow not only cut off the bamboo sword in his hand, but even at the moment of breaking his defense, there was still enough strength to change the direction and strength of the attack, turning the attack originally aimed at his neck to his chest, and at the same time, it managed to prevent him from suffering more injuries as much as possible.
This simple and unpretentious sword strike perfectly combines strength, speed, skill and precision. It is a perfect strike that reaches the pinnacle of perfection.
All of a sudden, Long Yan opened his eyes. He ignored the pain in his chest and forced himself to sit up. Then he threw another [Detection Technique] at Tao Shoulang.
The actual combat level remains at level 11 without any changes.
But Breath of Fire...
Breath of Fire·Full Collection·Always Hit Level 36!
Good guy!
After all, I was too naive.
It turns out that the 21st level of Breath of Fire is just Momojuro's normal state. Once he enters the fully concentrated state, his Breath of Fire fighting skill level can be directly forced to rise by 15 levels! ?
Feeling the pain in his body and looking at this plug-in that almost doubled his combat power, Long Yan felt his eyes turn red.
With his hands tucked into the sleeves of his kimono, Rengoku Matsujuro walked towards Ryuhiko with the sound of his wooden clogs clacking on his feet. When he and Momojuro walked beside Ryuhiko, he looked at him with a look of shock and then said softly with a smirk on his face.
"How's it going? Are you surprised or surprised?"
Obviously, Long Yan's shocked expression met Rengoku Matsujuro's slightly mischievous psychological expectations.
Looking at Rengoku Matsujuro who had a smirk on his face and Momojuro who looked apologetic, Ryuhiko simply adjusted his expression slightly and responded softly.
“Is this the little trick you were going to teach me?
It’s such an unexpected gift.”
Ryuuhiko's answer made Rengoku Matsujuro nod with satisfaction.
But soon, he put away his joking intention, and after pulling up Long Yan who was slumped on the ground, he began to explain.
"I think you have noticed the difference between Tao Shoulang before and after the competition just now.
That is the technique I am going to teach you, the technique of total concentration breathing."
Here it comes, it really is the full concentration breathing method!
When he heard these six words, a gleam of light flashed in Long Yan's eyes.
Breathing techniques are the general name for the techniques in the work "Demon Slayer" that were researched by Yoriichi Tsugumikuni and created in order to fight against demons with human bodies.
The Flame Breathing Technique used by the Rengoku father and son is a style derived from the Sun Breathing Technique by the founder of the breathing technique, Yoriichi Tsugumi.
Rengoku Matsujuro, who did not notice the change in Ryuhiko's gaze, continued speaking.
“It is impossible to verify who created the Quanzhong Breathing Method, and I am not even sure of the purpose of its creation.
But it is undeniable that it is indeed a technique that can greatly increase the limits of the human body.
Simply put, the concentrated breathing method is to accelerate the blood flow and heart rate through a special breathing method, so that the blood vessels in the body can expand and the oxygen content can be increased, thereby gaining powerful strength like a demon.
The principle is actually to make the heart and lung function stronger, so that more air can enter the blood. Once the blood in the human body is "frightened", the bones and muscles will urgently heat up, thus achieving the effect of instantly increasing the body's ability."
Rengoku Matsujuro's explanation sounds very simple, but only after trying it can you understand how difficult it is.
Fortunately, Long Yan has read the entire Demon Slayer comics and knows a lot about breathing techniques. He simply skipped over the explanation and asked impatiently, "Then let's get started. I can't wait, Uncle Rengoku!"
.........cut.........
PS. I can’t do it anymore. I only slept for 5 hours last night. I’m so sleepy. I probably won’t be able to update today. I’ll be at home all day tomorrow. I will definitely update!!!
Chapter 107: A Loving Father and a Filial Son
Rengoku Matsujuro was obviously a man who did what he said. Seeing that Long Yan was so impatient, he did not hesitate and responded directly.
"I knew you would say that. Take off your clothes."
Hearing this, Long Yan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Take off...take off clothes?
This development sounds a bit wrong?
However, before he could react, the father and son of Purgatory had already stretched out their arms from their kimonos, revealing their muscular bodies.
Seeing that Long Yan was still in a daze, Matsujuro, who was almost at the edge of the road, couldn't help but stop and asked softly: "Hmm? What's wrong, Long Yan-kun? Is there any problem?"
Looking at the father and son from Purgatory, who were shirtless and even unbuckling their belts while walking towards the edge, full of masculine aura, Long Yan's eyes twitched slightly.
Although he has never seen how other breathing methods are practiced, when Tanjiro was practicing water breathing, he never saw Urokodaki Sakonji ask him to take off his clothes.
And what is this wonderful atmosphere full of philosophical flavor?
If something happens, should I resist?
Can I beat this father and son?
Should I make an excuse and leave right now?
Looking at the smiling Rengoku Matsujuro, Long Yan asked cautiously, "Um... aren't we going to learn breathing techniques? Why do we have to take off our clothes?"
Hearing this, Song Shoulang was slightly stunned at first, then turned to Tao Shoulang beside him and asked softly: "Didn't you tell Long Yanjun to bring a set of clean clothes?"
Hearing his father's question, Tao Shoulang scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "That day I was just thinking about how to break my father's moves, I just told Long Yan the address and hung up the phone in a hurry..."
"Snapped!"
"I really can't stand your stupid son..." Rengoku Matsujuro gently slapped Momojuro on the back of the head, sighed slightly, and then explained to Ryuhiko.
"Each breathing style has its own initiation method. Although the name of Flame Breathing is 'Flame', in my opinion, the initiation method of Flame Breathing is the most gentle among the five basic styles of Water, Thunder, Fire, Rock, and Wind. To put it simply, it is nothing more than 'learning it in the time it takes to take a bath'."
Take a bath... Just learn how to take a bath?
After hearing this, more question marks popped up in Long Yan's mind.
Although he was not sure how long it would take the Demon Slayer Corps to train an ordinary swordsman to master the full concentration breathing method, he was still able to get a glimpse of some details through the work Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Take the protagonist of this work, Tanjiro Kamado, for example. Although he inherited the Sun Breathing, it took him two full years to go from an ordinary person to initially master the full concentration of breathing methods. This was when his master was the former Water Pillar, Urokodaki Sakonji.
Of course, the existence of some geniuses is not ruled out. For example, in the original work, Kasumi Pillar Tokito Muichiro learned the full concentration breathing method in just 10 days, and became a Pillar in two months. He was also the first of the Nine Pillars to open the markings.
But...
Learning the breathing technique while taking a shower was something Long Yan had never heard of, and he couldn't even imagine it.
Driven by curiosity, Long Yan followed the pace of Purgatory father and son.
Because he didn't bring any spare clothes, Momojuro lent Ryuhiko a pair of loose beach pants.
When the three of them changed their clothes and walked into a wooden house that was independent of the main house of the Purgatory family, wearing only loose beach pants as if they were preparing to go on a beach vacation in Okinawa, even the knowledgeable Long Yan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"This...is this a sauna?"
It’s no wonder that Long Yan felt so surprised. When he pushed open the wooden door, the first thing that hit him was a wave of hot steam.
However, what surprised him was not the fact that Purgatory father and son brought him to steam sauna, but when his eyes swept across this huge sauna room covering an area of more than 100 square meters, which was filled with wooden swords and bamboo swords, he found that it was more like a martial arts training ground than a sauna!
“This is the special training ground that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Purgatory family.
To be honest, when I was a child, I always thought that my father was an old stubborn man who stuck to the old ways and only knew how to draw circles according to the old "traditional methods".
It was not until I was admitted to the University of Tokyo that I realized that this was not just an outdated custom, but the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors of the Purgatory family over thousands of years.
Don't underestimate it as just an ordinary sauna. When humans are in a high temperature environment for a long time, their skin and blood vessels will expand, and their metabolism and blood flow will speed up, which satisfies the condition of increasing the 'oxygen content' mentioned in the key points of breathing practice.
In addition, the water vapor in this sauna is created by pouring cold water on certain minerals, thereby stimulating the transformation of the trace elements contained in them.
Maintaining an appropriate amount can not only activate dormant cells in the body, enhance human immunity, and promote wound healing, but also strengthen the function of the trachea, bronchus, and lungs, enhance the body's basal metabolism, lower blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglycerides, and increase exercise endurance.
Of course, the main purpose is to add a certain burden to the heart and strengthen the human body's cardiopulmonary function. By creating an extreme environment, people can adjust their breathing methods in case of chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing, thereby achieving the purpose of learning breathing techniques.
For the next hour, you will conduct confrontation training here with Tao Shoulang. As for how long it will take you to learn the breathing method, it depends on your understanding."
After hearing this, Long Yan's eyes twitched involuntarily.
In order to prove that his father's training method was pseudoscience, he took the entrance exam for the University of Tokyo. However, he found out that he was the one who was slapped in the face in the end. What a loving father and filial son!
