Infinity, I became stronger by practicing with the female characters

A spherical object was thrown out by him and broke on the ground.

In an instant, thick white smoke spread all around, blocking everyone's vision.

By the time Leia used telekinesis to clear the smoke around her, all that was left was a bottomless pit and a pool of blood.

The young man, the severed arm, and the greatsword all disappeared.

The girl with a bone mask on her face jumped into the pit under the control of Dongfang Shangcan.

The pothole looks deep, but it's not really that deep.

After free falling for about fifteen meters, the girl landed on the ground.

This is a tunnel. Considering that it is unlikely that the young man could dig such a tunnel by himself, this tunnel may have been created by skill.

"Does he even have the ability to burrow underground? This guy must be so hard to kill!"

Standing at the edge of the pit, Dongfang Shangcan rubbed his eyebrows and controlled the skeleton girl to chase in the direction of the tunnel.

"boom!!!"

The girl chased for less than ten meters before triggering a trap.

A deafening explosion erupted at this moment, and even the earth shook.

The skeletal girl at the center of the explosion had half her body shattered by the explosion, even though she had created a bone defense around her body immediately after the explosion. She was seriously injured and was buried underground by the collapsed soil.

From then on, chasing the fleeing player was no longer realistic.

As for the injury of the skeleton girl, Dongfang Shangcan was not worried.

The other party is an evil ghost who has mastered the blood ghost technique, which is one of the gains that Dongfang Shangcan made when he followed the various pillars to learn breathing techniques.

The pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps do not care who kills the evil spirits under their jurisdiction.

They have passed the stage where they need to prove their ability by the number of evil spirits they kill.

Therefore, during the time that Dongfang Shangcan was learning from them, he would use practice as an excuse to complete their mission of killing ghosts.

According to his understanding of the world of "Demon Slayer" during this period and the content in the original work, Dongfang Shangcan roughly divided demons into six types.

The first type is a low-level ghost that has not eaten many people. It is stronger than ordinary people but to a limited extent.

All the ghosts on Tengxi Mountain, except the hand ghost, are at this stage.

The second type is the intermediate ghost, which has eaten a lot of people and is completely incapable of being dealt with by ordinary people, but has not yet mastered the blood ghost technique.

The third type is the high-level ghost. Outside of the Twelve Ghost Moons, they are ghosts who have mastered the blood ghost technique and can also be called supernatural ghosts.

Tanjiro, who completed the final assessment, had to deal with this type of demon in the early stages.

The fourth type is the lower half of the twelve demon months.

The Lower-Rank Demons are much stronger than ordinary supernatural demons, but they are still not as strong as the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps. From time to time, Lower-Rank Demons fall at the hands of the Pillars.

The fifth type is the upper moon demon of the Twelve Demon Months.

The upper-rank demons are far stronger than the lower-rank demons, and are also stronger than most of the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps. In the original work, with the exception of the Kasumi Pillar Tokito Muichiro, no upper-rank demon was killed by the Demon Slayer Corps alone; all died in group fights.

The last one is the origin of all ghosts, the Ghost King Muzan.

During the period of learning various breathing techniques, Dongfang Shangshen didn't encounter any ghosts of the Twelve Ghost Moons' level. However, he still killed five supernatural ghosts, more than twenty intermediate ghosts, and more than fifty low-level ghosts.

Among them, there were two supernatural ghosts with good abilities, so Dongfang Shangcan kept them to train.

With the idea of strengthening one demon first, he fed all the demons he had hunted during this period as 'dog food' to this demon that could manipulate bones.

I can’t say for sure if I can defeat an upper-rank demon now, but I should have no problem defeating a lower-rank demon.

Even though she was blown up miserably, if you throw her back into the puppet space, she will be able to recover in no time on her own.

"Hello, I'm Tanjiro Kamado, thank you for your assistance."

Tanjiro got up from the ground, walked to Dongfang Shangcan and extended his hand in a friendly manner.

"We are all members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and this is as it should be. My name is Yuebai, please give me your guidance."

Suppressing his annoyance at not leaving this player behind, Dongfang Shangcan shook Tanjiro's hand back and shook it gently.

"What should we do about the final assessment? Should we continue?"

Tanjiro looked at the dilapidated venue, his voice troubled.

"If the Lord gets the news, he'll probably let the surviving ones pass the test directly. That guy's combat power is beyond the standard. Those who survived, whether due to ability or luck, will pass the test easily..."

Dongfang Shangcan paused in the middle of his words and looked up suddenly.

The candidates will have no problem now, but the same may not be true for the two guys in charge of the examination.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Shangcan instructed Leia to take good care of the injured people.

Use Thunder Breathing to rush to the trial entrance halfway up the mountain.

When he found the two little ones, they were already seriously injured and unconscious, but fortunately they were still alive.

Dongfang Shangcan quickly used medical bandages to wrap them up like two mummies and give them a chance to breathe again.

After receiving the news, Ubuyashiki Kōya sent out Shinobu Kocho and Gyoumei Hiruma to support the team.

Fortunately, among the people sent out was the medical master Shinobu Kocho, who saved the lives of the two little ones.

As Dongfang Shangcan had expected, Ubuyashiki Kyoya simply gave all the surviving candidates the status of having passed the examination.

Unfortunately, I don’t know if it’s because of the world’s correction force, but except for two outsiders, Dongfang Shangcan and Leia, the other five people who passed are the same five people who passed in the original book.

After this battle, Dongfang Shangcan, who understood the other player's combat power, thought about it for a night.

Going to confront Ubuyashiki Yoya, of course, did not mean telling him that he was from Paradise and came to this world to complete the mission assigned by Paradise.

Instead, he used the same trick he used on the Butterfly Sisters and Kanao to fool Ubuyashiki Kyouya again.

It is not clear whether Ubuyashiki Yoya believed it or not, but he still agreed to Dongfang Shangshen.

After collecting intelligence on evil spirits, if conditions permit, he will hand over powerful evil spirits to him for killing.

Dongfang Shangcan also drove a mechanical motorcycle, carrying Tanjiro, who was eager to go back even though his injuries had not yet recovered, back to Sagiri Mountain where the former Water Pillar Urokodaki Sakonji lived in seclusion.

He spent three days learning from Urokodaki Sakonji and learned how to breathe water.

He then spent another ten days learning Sun Breathing from Tanjiro.

Just as Dongfang Shangcan, who had learned all the breathing techniques of the Demon Slayer Corps, was preparing to retreat for a while to digest the knowledge, a crow delivered a message to him.

"Snake Pillar Iguro Obanai was killed in battle yesterday. The murderer was the Blood Swordsman."

Sitting on the boulder that Tanjiro had cut, Dongfang Shangcan's face was ashen. Although he didn't move much, seeing that he was clenching his fists until his knuckles turned white, it was clear that he was not calm at the moment.

This was the first time he experienced the death of someone close to him.

Although he didn't spend much time with Iguro Obana, only a few days.

But this still made him very unhappy, aggrieved and angry.

Those who died were not insignificant people, nor were they passers-by.

The dead person was his acquaintance, friend, or even a teacher.

When people see their favorite characters get hurt or die on the screen, they feel uncomfortable and sad.

What's more, the person involved was Dongfang Shangcan, who had actually been taken care of by the other party for five days.

Chapter 54: Hardworking 'Workers'

Sitting on a huge rock, Dongfang Shangcan raised one hand, and a card floated in the air in his palm.

[Name: Swordsmanship Comprehension Multiplier Card]

[Effect: After using it in the derivative world, you will become proficient in swords, increasing the damage of sword weapons and accelerating the growth of proficiency. The strength of sword skills will increase. The speed of learning sword skills and techniques will be doubled.]

This talent card was rewarded by Paradise after he completed his first reincarnation mission.

Because the validity period is only three months, he originally planned to use it in the eighth month after entering this derivative world.

In this way, after a period of practice, various sword skills should have reached a bottleneck.

Only when you use it then can you maximize the benefits.

But many times plans cannot keep up with changes. In order to enhance your combat effectiveness in time, perhaps using it now is the best option.

After hesitating for a moment, Dongfang Shangcan finally put the talent card away.

It's not the right time to use it yet. In order to get the positive buffs of increased damage and skill strength, the best time to use it is actually when he meets that young man.

"Don't just complete the main quest and run away! Please be a little greedy and have a bigger appetite. Next time we meet, I won't let you get away."

There was no loud noise or rage, Dongfang Shangcan just made up his mind silently.

After jumping off the boulder, Dongfang Shangcan looked back at the foggy area and said softly:

"Senior brothers and sisters, I'm sorry to bother you during this time."

One figure after another emerged from the mist and said goodbye to Dongfang Shangcan.

Mount Sagiri, the mountain where Tanjiro practiced, is very special. Although Dongfang Shangcan couldn't feel what was so special about it, he just had that feeling.

This can also be seen from the performance in the original work.

The world setting of Demon Slayer is that ghosts exist. After the death of relatives and lovers, they may surround the living.

But throughout the story, except for the dying person, it seems that no one can directly see the soul body.

Even the ghosts of the protagonist Tanjiro's family have never appeared directly.

The only exception is the ghost in Sagiri Mountain. In the original work, the ghost Satsuki accompanied Tanjiro for half a year of training here.

In addition, Nezuko has been lying here for more than two years, so she has become able to move without eating.

Although Nezuko's situation is rather special, this does not rule out the possibility of Sagiriyama providing help.

After all, Nezuko's condition really looks like she has found a 'feng shui treasure land' to 'raise the corpse'.

After adjusting his bangs, Dongfang Shangcan put aside the random thoughts in his mind.

After saying goodbye to his senior brothers and sisters, Dongfang Shangcan came to Urokodaki Sakonji's cabin.

Pushing open the wooden door, Nezuko, who was lying on the ground with a bamboo stick in her mouth, looked up. After seeing that it was Dongfang Shangshen, she ran to him.

Maybe it's because his [Charm] attribute is too high, but Nezuko became very close to him after she woke up.

It’s a pity that Nezuko can’t eat sweets, otherwise he wouldn’t mind feeding such a cute child well.

When several people sat together and had lunch, Dongfang Shangshen said goodbye to them.

Tanjiro did not show any sadness of parting, but instead said that he would immediately join the demon-slaying team after receiving the forged Nichirin Sword.

Urokodaki Sakonji put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and went back to the inner room.

When he came out again, he was holding a fox mask in his hand.

"This is a mask that wards off disasters. I've cast a spell on it to protect you from misfortune. Although I haven't taught you for long, I still consider you my disciple. I hope this mask will protect you."

Looking at the exquisite fox mask in Urokodaki Sakonji's hand, Dongfang Shangcan blinked.

With mixed feelings, he accepted this mask, which was called the Disaster-Away Mask, but in the original book it actually brought disaster.

After all, this was Urokodaki Sakonji's intention.

Furthermore, the reason why this kind of mask in the original novel brings disaster is entirely because the hand ghost on Fujiki Mountain was captured by Urokodaki Sakonji and brought to the mountain. As a result, it memorized the carved pattern of this kind of mask and chased after the candidates wearing this kind of mask to kill them.

This cannot be blamed on the mask for bringing disaster. Moreover, even if the hand ghost was resurrected, it would be easy for Dongfang Shangcan to kill it.
