Oh no, that's not the point!

Although Long Yan has not had much experience with steam saunas, he also knows that people cannot stay in a sauna with a high temperature for a long time.

Watching Rengoku Matsujuro pull the mechanism in his hand and pour a large bucket of water on the hot unknown ore, a large amount of steam came out in just a moment.

Feeling the temperature in the sauna room at this time, let alone fighting in a sauna room with this temperature, just sitting there, once the time exceeds 40 minutes, the human body will be in a state of semi-exhaustion to exhaustion due to lack of oxygen.

As for the one-hour confrontation training...

Is this training method really scientific?

Uncle Purgatory, are you sure that the University of Tokyo you applied to is really serious?

.........cut.........

PS. This is the author’s desire to survive.

As I said, novels are just artistic processing. Although some athletes train in saunas, ordinary people like us should not try this method lightly. Taking a sauna when you are overtired or hungry can easily cause exhaustion.

Chapter 108 We are friends, aren't we?

“Hiss…hiss…hiss…hiss…hiss…”

There was no clock in the specially built sauna room of the Purgatory family. Long Yan, holding a bamboo sword, with his upper body naked and only wearing a pair of beach pants on his lower body, was breathing rapidly, trying to speed up the intake of oxygen in this way.

However, he didn't know how long he had been fighting with Momojuro, and he felt the burning heat constantly being inhaled into his lungs. The slight dizziness even made him feel like his arms had become thinner due to dehydration.

On the other hand, Momojuro on the opposite side not only stood there with the sword in one hand as if nothing had happened, but he didn't even breathe a breath.

Although there is an element of "home advantage" involved, this alone made him instantly understand the differences between people.

“Focus and don’t rush.

It is absolutely arrogant to want to master the breathing method in the first training. Throughout the history of the Purgatory Family for thousands of years, no one has ever made a breakthrough in the first training. Carefully recall Tao Shoulang's movements and breathing rhythm in battle, adjust your breathing method, and let more oxygen enter your body! "

Due to insufficient oxygen intake, Long Yan's attention was distracted and his consciousness gradually became a little blurred.

However, the next second, Rengoku Matsujuro's loud shout suddenly brought Long Yan's consciousness back to reality.

Yes, the existence of the system made it so that he rarely encountered bottlenecks in his sword practice, but it was also because of this smooth process that he subconsciously ignored the hardships during his practice.

Fortunately, Long Yan was not a person who liked to cheat, and his comprehension in all aspects was pretty good. Although he had not yet mastered the breathing method, it only took him a few breaths to calm his somewhat anxious mentality, and he swung the bamboo sword in his hand towards Momojuro in front of him again.

......

"Ahhh... I feel like I'm going to die...

Just now I even had the illusion that all the water in my body had evaporated.

Momojuro, are you going through this hellish training every day?

That’s really admirable.”

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. When Long Yan finished taking a shower and came to the edge of the main house of the Purgatory family, a crescent moon was already hanging in the night sky.

Tokyo in May has not yet entered the hot summer. Even though the daytime temperature has quietly risen, people can still feel a little cool at night.

However, Ryuhiko, wearing the bathrobe borrowed from Momojuro and lying on the slightly cold edge, still felt hot and uncomfortable all over. He fanned himself with a fan and whispered to Momojuro who was walking slowly towards him with two bottles of milk.

I don't know why, but the Japanese really like to drink milk after taking a bath. For those who often watch Japanese dramas or anime, it should be a very familiar scene to put one hand on the waist and drink milk from a glass bottle after taking a bath. Even after taking a hot spring bath, if conditions permit, the Japanese will have a hearty table tennis game after drinking milk.

Placing a bottle of ice milk in a glass bottle next to Long Yan, Tao Shoulang, who was sitting cross-legged beside Long Yan, twisted the milk in his hand and responded softly.

“I should be the one who admires him.

There is no clock in the training ground, so you may not know how long you have persisted just now, right? "

Hearing this, the fan in Long Yan's hand couldn't help but pause slightly.

He finally understood why Momojuro had trained to the point of forgetting time when he first met him, and only came to his senses after Matsujuro slapped him.

When a person devotes himself to something wholeheartedly, time will be selectively forgotten.

It's embarrassing to say that he was so busy with the confrontation training with Momojuro that he didn't pay attention to the passage of time at all. It was not until his body showed symptoms of dehydration that he suddenly fainted and was carried out by Momojuro.

When he woke up, it was already day and night outside. After taking a shower, he had no idea how long he had been training. He couldn't help but ask, "How long?"

After gulping down the milk in his hand and gently wiping the milk stains from the corners of his mouth, Momojuro responded softly with a hint of reminiscence and admiration in his words.

"I first came into contact with the full concentration breathing method when I was 10 years old. Although I had practiced it before, it was only in kendo training.

I didn't have much talent, and it took me about a year to master the fire breathing that was passed down in our family. During the first adaptive training, I didn't even last 30 minutes in my father's hands before I fainted.

Even though you were more than five years older than I was when you first did adaptive training, and your body functions were more fully developed, in the training just now, you persisted under my hands for nearly three hours before you fainted.

The moment you passed out, I couldn't even believe the time my dad gave.

You have to know that even if a normal person sits motionless in that special training room for an hour, it would be enough to cause adverse reactions such as chest tightness and shortness of breath. However, you persisted in the high-intensity confrontation with me for nearly three hours before fainting.

I am not as good as you in this will. "

Hearing this, Long Yan himself couldn't help but be surprised.

Just as Momojuro said, he originally thought that he could only last about an hour under the high-intensity confrontation training in that kind of environment. Unexpectedly, he not only exceeded an hour, but even exceeded it by nearly three times as long.

Is it not just the world that is abnormal, but my body as well?

Could it be that I am a genius?

The brief confusion only lasted for a moment in his mind, but seeing that there were still only three martial arts skills in the attribute panel, namely [Kamiya Katsushikyu-ryu], [Goryu], and [Flying Sword Ryu], and the fully concentrated breathing method or the breathing of fire that he had dreamed of did not appear, Long Yan still dispelled the fantasy that he was a martial arts genius.

Fortunately, although he was not sure whether he had talent or not, he had idealistic things like willpower. In addition, with his system that was still reliable for the time being, he was not worried that he would not be able to learn the full concentration breathing method.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask Tao Shoulang: "Momo Shoulang, can you give me the bamboo sword that you often use during training? A swordsman's habits, will, and experience can often be reflected in his sword. If possible, I..."

This was of course an excuse Long Yan made up. He just wanted to learn the full concentration breathing method through the [Empathy Capsule].

However, before he could finish his words, Momojuro chuckled almost without thinking.

"Of course there is no problem.

Actually, you don’t have to be so polite, we are friends, aren’t we? "

.........cut.........

PS. There is still one chapter to go. I will take a shower, walk the dog and continue writing.

Chapter 7: Kamiya Katsushim-ryu is not a weak school [15/]

After hearing what Rengoku Momojuro said, Long Yan's expression was stunned for a moment, then turned into a gentle smile.

He didn't say much, just nodded slightly and opened the bottle of milk beside him.

Coffee milk, it tastes so good...

In fact, the reason why he didn't ask for the bamboo sword for practice from Rengoku Matsujuro, whose fire breath was stronger, but instead went to Momojuro, whose martial arts skills were relatively low, was because he was scared of his reverse-blade sword.

The more life experiences a person has, the heavier the "heart" that the objects he holds will carry.

It should be noted that although the "Reverse Blade Sword: Shinichi" is Kenshin Himura's sword, it was used for worshipping gods after it was forged by the swordsmith Akasora Arai, so it did not accompany Kenshin Himura for too long.

But even after only following Kenshin Himura for a few short years, the "heart" he possessed was enough to exhaust Long Yan's mind in just 20 minutes of empathy time.

However, bamboo swords and wooden swords are different from katana which are forged from steel and often used in combat. As long as they are properly maintained, their loss rate is relatively low.

That sword carries at least twenty to thirty years of experience in Matsujuro. Even if it is not Rengoku Matsujuro's sword and is only used for practice, Long Yan would definitely not dare to use the [Empathy Capsule] to empathize with him easily.

Relatively speaking, it is "safer" to choose the bamboo sword that Momojuro used for practice.

After a while, Tao Shoulang seemed to suddenly think of something, and couldn't help but ask Long Yan with some curiosity: "During the day, I saw you carrying a tightly wrapped object to my door. Is it a real knife? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Should we say that they are worthy of being the descendants of the Demon Slayer Corps?

Momojuro's sense of smell for real swords was extremely sharp. He even deduced that Long Yan must have something to ask for based on the fact that Long Yan brought a real sword to his house.

It seems that Momojuro, who was called "stupid son" by Rengoku Matsujuro, is not really stupid. He just ignores the trivial matters around him because he is keen on practicing.

After gulping down the coffee milk in his hand, Long Yan also wiped the milk stains on his mouth, and then responded softly: "You figured it out. I really have something to ask Uncle Matsushiro."

Hearing this, Momojuro just smiled and said, "After all, ordinary people wouldn't carry a real sword when visiting a friend. Even if they were planning to give it as a gift, they would have told them the reason when they first met."

As he spoke, Momojuro put on an expression as if he was listening attentively.

Seeing that Momojuro had no intention of refusing, Long Yan did not hide anything and said directly: "This morning, I found an ancient sword used by the late master in my dojo. However, due to improper maintenance and being put away for a long time, the blade has shown some signs of decay. I was thinking whether I could try to ask Uncle Matsujuro to see if there is a familiar swordsmith who can introduce it to me."

In the work "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", there are not only the Demon Slayer Corps' swordsmen who hunt evil demons, but the swordsmiths who are responsible for logistics, forging, and repairing the Nichirin swords used to slay demons are also an important part of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Since there is even a contemporary Flame Pillar, it must be reasonable for the Swordsmith Village to have descendants that have survived to this day, right?

After all, compared to swordsmen, craftsmen are not afraid of going hungry no matter where they are.

Ever since he discovered that the Reverse Blade must be repaired before its special effects could be activated, Long Yan has been thinking all the time about how to repair it.

Taking advantage of the fact that he needs to recover his mental strength and is unable to empathize for a short period of time, as well as the opportunity of visiting the Purgatory family, sending him for repair is undoubtedly the best choice.

Hearing this, Momojuro's eyes first showed an expression of "I see, that's how it is", and then a hint of joy appeared in his eyes and he said, "I see, our Purgatory family does know some excellent swordsmiths, and their craftsmanship is impeccable. But before that, can you let me see the sword?"

"When I heard you introduce yourself earlier, you mentioned that you were a swordsman of the Kamiya Katsushim-ryu school. To be honest, I have never heard of this school. Just as you said, I also want to see the sword of the master of this school. Maybe through this sword, I can understand some new truths of kendo."

Faced with Momojuro's request, Long Yan had absolutely no reason to refuse, but when he was about to nod in agreement, Rengoku Matsujuro, who had just finished washing up, came to Enjuro's side and spoke softly in a rather nostalgic tone.

“Kamiya Katsushiryu?

What a nostalgic name. I remember when I was very young, I followed my father to visit their teacher, Master Myojin Yahiko. He was a truly powerful master.

My father, who was in his prime, had his weapon taken away before he could even last thirty moves. Now that I think about it, if I were to go up there now, I would probably perform better than my father.

Well, it's probably enough to just barely keep the weapon and remain undefeated.

ahem...

If it weren't for the fact that Master Yahiko was extremely strict in accepting disciples and so few of his disciples were able to understand the true meaning of the school, with Master Yahiko's strength, after decades of development, Kamiya Katsushin-ryu would not necessarily be weaker than Shinkage-ryu, and it would not be impossible for it to replace Shiken-ryu and become the representative school of the Metropolitan Police Department.

I didn't expect that Ryuhiko is actually the successor of Kamiya Katsushim-ryu. Please let me see Master Yahiko's sword."

Obviously, Rengoku Matsujuro, who was smiling like a loving father, heard the conversation between Ryuhiko and Momojuro just now. Especially after hearing that Ryuhiko also brought the sword of the late Master Myojin Yahiko of Kamiya Katsushim-ryu, he was completely stunned.

Looking at Rengoku Matsujuro who looked excited, Ryuhiko was also surprised by the setting he mentioned.

Although he roughly guessed through the spin-off work "Rurouni Kenshin: Starfrost" that the grown-up Myojin Yahiko was very strong, and even won the title of "Top Five in Eastern Japan - The King of Bare-Handed Blades", he never expected that even the contemporary Flame Pillar Rengoku Matsujuro would highly praise him.

Besides, how great a shock did Myojin Yahiko cause to the young Rengoku Matsujuro that he only dared to claim that he could barely remain undefeated under him until now?

It seems that he really needs to re-evaluate the strength of Kamiya Kashin-ryu. When this style is pushed to the extreme, its combat power may not be lower than his Flying Sword Style and Full Concentration Breathing Method.

.........cut.........

PS. I still have 8 chapters to go, which is really sad...

Try to pay it all off within this month!

Chapter 110: Uenokai Attack Plan

"I am sorry to bother you, Uncle Matsushiro."

The next morning, Ryuhiko, holding a bamboo sword, stood outside the gate of the Rengoku family, and nodded sincerely to the Rengoku father and son inside the door to express his gratitude.

Last night, after Rengoku Matsujuro and Rengoku Momojuro, father and son, had taught him how to practice the full concentration breathing method, they couldn't wait to observe the reverse-edged sword he brought with him.

Just like the expressions of Teruhashi Shinmi and Saito Takuma when they first saw the reverse-blade sword, when they saw the Blade of Atonement, expressions of surprise were written directly on their faces.

Especially after learning the story of the reverse-blade sword from Long Yan, although they had never possessed such a magical item as the [Empathy Capsule], even Momojuro, who had always been only interested in martial arts, couldn't help but reveal a solemn look.

On this blade of atonement, they felt a weight called "faith".

Then Rengoku Matsujuro patted his chest and assured Long Yan that he would definitely find the best swordsmith to repair the reverse-blade sword in the shortest time possible.

The two words "most" also made Long Yan owe someone a favor again.

Looking at Long Yan outside the door, Rengoku Matsujuro was more and more satisfied. He even had the idea that if he had a daughter, he must marry her to a young talent like Long Yan.

But soon, an idea that had long been buried deep in his memory was suddenly recalled by Rengoku Matsujuro.

I heard from my damned old man that a hundred years ago, the head of the Purgatory family would choose an outstanding swordsman to be his "stepson" and inherit his legacy. It would be great if I could take Long Yanjun as my "stepson"...

He and Momojuro will definitely become the best swordsmen of fire.
