Zongman: Unlock the Heroic Spirit Heritage from Demon Slayer

"He is only 12 years old now, and is far from the peak of his strength. With time, when Zhou Yi grows up, it will not be difficult for us to destroy Muzan Kibutsuji!"

Zhou Yi, who was far away in Xiawu Mountain, probably would not have thought that his name had already been known by his lord.

Now he has other things to deal with.

……

"Junior brother! Are you cold?"

"No, Sister, I'm not cold."

"No, you're cold!"

"It's warmer when two people sleep together!"

Without giving Zhou Yi a chance to refuse, Zhen Gu crawled into the bed.

"Good night……"

The sound was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

After saying that, Zhen Gu curled up and fell into a deep sleep.

Not just too warm, but shy.

In Zhou Yi's eyes, senior sister's face and hands were all red.

Looking at her sleeping posture that lacked security, his eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Good night, Senior Sister."

"I will protect you!"

The two children slept in each other's arms.

Outside the house, their master was drinking alone under the moon.

“It’s great to be young…”

……

[Inheritance progress update! 】

[The current progress of Sasaki Kojiro's inheritance is 10%. ]

Chapter 4 Final Selection, Face to Face with the Hand Ghost

time flies

Before the selection began, Zhou Yi and Zhen Gu traveled together and arrived at their destination, Tengxi Mountain, on time.

Wisteria flowers are blooming all over the mountains here.

The branches hang low, and the lavender petals emit a charming fragrance.

Zhou Yi and his companion were the last group of people to arrive to participate in the selection.

Among the two, only Zhou Yi wore a disaster-avoiding mask.

He put away Zhengu's mask.

The peculiar outfit immediately attracted the attention of other contestants.

"These two guys look pretty powerful!"

"Fool, I heard that those who wear masks to participate in the selection usually don't end well!"

"Who told you this?"

"Of course my master told me!"

The two of them could hear clearly the whispers in the crowd.

Shinkomo is serious with outsiders, but he also complains when he hears someone slandering the masks made by Master Urokodaki.

Zhou Yi held Zhen Gu's little hand and whispered in her ear:

"Senior sister, the selection is about to start, don't pay attention to these guys."

Matters were divided into important and unimportant ones, and Zhen Gu nodded in agreement.

……

"Thank you all for participating in the Demon Slayer Corps final auditions tonight."

"In this Tengxi Mountain, the ghosts that were captured alive are imprisoned."

"Surviving for seven days in this Wisteria Prison will qualify you for the final selection."

"Well then, the selection officially begins. Please have a safe journey."

After saying that, the person in charge bowed and left.

Unlike in the anime, the examiners this time are not the twins.

"I guess they weren't born yet at this time."

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi pulled Zhen Gu and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

……

The entrance to the final selection

"Senior Sister, let's separate here."

"Yes. Junior brother, you must survive!"

"Yes, I will, if I come across..."

"Yes, yes, yes! I understand. If you encounter a ghost with many hands, you must avoid it! Junior brother is really long-winded."

Urokodaki Sakonji had specifically instructed that the two of them should pass this selection based on their own abilities.

Zhen Gu was very confident in his own abilities and agreed without hesitation.

Watching his senior sister go away, Zhou Yi finally began his own journey of exterminating ghosts.

[Ding, the current location is detected as Tengxi Mountain, unlocking the task: Kill the killer ghost. ]

[Mission Description: The cunning hand ghost hides in Tengxi Mountain, deliberately controlling his bloodthirsty desire and hunting down anyone who has seen his face. For decades, he has not been discovered. Use your sharp blade to chop off the hand ghost's head! ]

[Task Reward: Increase inheritance progress by 5%.]

The system has issued another task.

It coincides with the Book of Changes.

He used his hand to adjust the mask on his face to ward off disasters. His delicate face was hidden under the mask.

, revealing a sinister smile: "Hand ghost, die!"

……

It is already the second day of the final selection.

All the swordsmen who participated in the selection noticed something strange!

"Aren't there a lot of ghosts on Fujixi Mountain?"

"Why can't I meet one in such a long time?"

"Boring! This is not the final selection I wanted!"

Although they complained, they were secretly rejoicing.

"That's good. As long as we can hold on for seven days, we can pass the test!"

The culprit behind all this is Zhou Yi, who keeps shuttling through the woods killing ghosts.

At this time, he jumped down from the tree and stopped the fleeing evil spirit.

"Please! Stop chasing me! I've never eaten anyone! I really haven't eaten anyone!"

The evil ghost in front of him was panicked, and when he saw there was no hope of escape, he knelt down and begged for mercy.

Zhou Yi had no interest in what the ghost said.

"Did you know there's a hand ghost in the mountains?"

He has repeated this mechanical question hundreds of times.

The hand ghost hid very well and many ghosts had never seen him.

Therefore, Zhou Yi did not hold too much hope for the guy in front of him, but just asked according to the convention.

Hearing this, the evil ghost kneeling on the ground suddenly saw light and felt that things were looking up.

"I know! I'll tell you as long as you don't kill me!"

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Good guy!

This ghost actually knows the whereabouts of the hand ghost!

"Take me there, and I'll let you live."

"But what if you dare to lie to me?"

Zhou Yi casually swung the Sun Wheel Sword, and the evil ghost only felt a gust of wind rushing past his ears, and the huge rock behind him was split into two in an instant.

The evil ghost was so frightened that he quickly responded, "No, how dare I! Come with me."

The evil ghost walked tremblingly in front, leading the way, and after twists and turns, they came to the entrance of a gloomy cave.

"It's hidden really well!"

After walking this distance, Zhou Yi couldn't help but smack his lips. This guy is really too cowardly!

No wonder he was able to live in Tengxi Mountain for so long without being discovered.

As soon as it reached the cave entrance, the evil ghost suddenly accelerated and rushed into the cave.

"Haha, idiot! I brought you here just to die!"

After mocking Zhou Yi, he shouted loudly inside: "Master Hand Ghost! A guy wearing a mask is here to cause trouble for you!"

Zhou Yi naturally wouldn't let him get away so easily, and he quickly appeared behind the evil ghost.

"Water Breathing Form Five: Sweet Heaven's Merciful Rain!"

Cut off the opponent's head extremely gently.

"Since you led me the way, I'll give you a merciful death."

The evil ghost's head fell to the ground and his body gradually turned into ashes.

He roared with his last bit of strength: "Didn't you say you would spare my life? Why!"

"What does the fact that you were killed by the Sun Wheel Blade have to do with me, Zhou Yi?"

The evil ghost opened his eyes wide and died unwillingly.

Sheathing the knife, Zhou Yi looked into the cave.

Next comes the main event.

"Ka-ka-ka! Another Urokodaki apprentice has arrived!?"

You can hear the ghost's voice before you see it.

A sinister smile came from the cave, and then the ground began to tremble slightly.

It was the sound of the hand ghost stepping on the ground.

After a moment, the hand ghost's true form was finally revealed.

It has a body as strong as a mountain, green skin all over, and countless arms.

This thing is so huge that it is impossible to tell where its neck is.

If it weren't for the arms protecting his eyes, a normal person would never be able to find his neck!

"Hey, kid! You know, I've eaten guys like you..."

"You talk too much!"

Zhou Yi didn't want to waste time talking to him and directly swung his knife at the hand ghost.
