As the blade fell, the head, in a moment of panic, leaped backward and had its jaw severed.
"Damn demon hunters!"
The head roared, the flesh swelled, and the wounds slowly healed.
"What nonsense are you spouting! Shine!"
Ryosuke sheathed his long sword, leaned forward, and his body was surrounded by violent lightning, with countless bolts of lightning bursting out!
Thunder Breathing - First Form - Thunderclap Flash - Triple Strike!
The ground beneath Ryosuke's feet cracked, his body transformed into a streak of light, and the slash was upon him in an instant!
The blade flashed, and the head, unable to dodge in time, was split in two!
Before his body could react, Ryosuke's slash came right after him!
With a piercing scream, his body shattered!
The flying head demon turned into ashes and vanished.
Ryosuke wasn't interested in watching the carousel.
This kind of ghost is nothing more than a perverted and unsuccessful person who then encounters a scumbag boss and is turned into a ghost.
After that, he ate people to become stronger, and felt incredibly comfortable with himself.
Ryosuke is more concerned about the system rewards than this.
[Slaying the high-level evil spirit Flying Head Barbarian grants 3 years of lifespan; current remaining lifespan: 4 years and 14 days]
The ten-year progress bar has increased by almost half!
Ryosuke hummed a cheerful tune as he bandaged his wounds.
He broke a few ribs in the battle. After a quick treatment, he signaled for Hidden to come over.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar.
"Where, there! The stench of blood is overwhelming! Hang in there, I'm coming!"
Ryosuke looked up and saw a boy in a Demon Slayer Corps uniform rushing over.
He glanced at Ryosuke, quickly drew his sword, assumed a fighting stance, and looked around.
"You should heal and rest first; that flying ghost is not easy to deal with!"
"No, that..."
Before Ryosuke could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Soma Iwasaki.
"Don't be reckless, you'll lose your life!"
You're being unreasonable, let me finish what I have to say!
Ryosuke stood up and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I've already killed that ghost."
"Um, okay...what?!"
Iwasaki stared wide-eyed at Ryosuke in disbelief.
"You, are you alone?"
"Yeah, I got a bit injured, what a hassle."
Ryosuke stretched his shoulders.
Actually, if Fei Tou hadn't underestimated his opponent and hadn't used the triple combo effectively, he would have been eliminated long ago.
"That's...that's amazing!"
Iwasaki was so excited he was almost incoherent.
"The intelligence reports that this demon is extremely difficult to deal with, capable of splitting up to behead it without success! Several of my companions suffered greatly at its hands! Senior, you actually dealt with it all by yourself?! You must be a Pillar? Or perhaps a Rank C? Or Rank B?"
"Uh, hehe—"
Seeing Iwasaki's excited expression, Ryosuke was completely bewildered.
He silently raised the back of his hand, and as he breathed, the character "癸" slowly appeared on it.
"Rank 3, Yasui Ryosuke, joined the Demon Slayer Corps less than a month ago."
The world is quiet.
Iwasaki's expression of ecstasy and awe froze instantly.
"Gui...Gui level?!"
He cried out in a rage, his voice even distorting.
"This...how is this possible?! That's a demon that even Xin-level team members find troublesome! You, you alone, and you're only Gui-level..."
Iwasaki felt his worldview was being challenged, and then something suddenly occurred to him.
"No way, could you be Yasui? Yasui Ryosuke?!"
There was no way around it; Fujikasayama's final assessment was too impressive, and he was summoned by Kagaya afterwards.
Given that he himself is a Thunderclap Swordsman, it's normal for Iwasaki to have guessed it.
Seeing Iwasaki's excited expression, Ryosuke lay down on the ground, not wanting to move at all.
"that……"
“Iwasaki! My name is Iwasaki Soma.”
"Iwasaki, please contact Kakuno for me. I broke my ribs and need to go back to Momoyama to recuperate."
As Ryosuke spoke, he looked at him again.
"Also, level doesn't matter, just kill the demons."
Chapter 9 Song and Seashells
After being secretly sent back to Momoyama, Rika hugged Ryosuke and started crying.
Shota remained hidden in the shadows by the door frame, spying.
The ear-piercing sound of teeth grinding continued incessantly.
The emanating resentment, if it materialized, could at least feed three evil sword immortals!
Tsk, what an incompetent older brother~
Ryosuke ignored him and ruffled Rika's hair.
"Why are you crying? You're not dead."
"What if something really happens?!" Pear Blossom cried, her eyes brimming with tears.
"No, your brother is lucky and won't die."
The last three words stuck in Ryosuke's throat.
"Fukuda my ass!"
Jigoro arrived on crutches, intending to knock Ryosuke on the head, but seeing his injuries, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Why take unnecessary risks when the mission is already accomplished?"
"Grandpa, if I don't kill that ghost, someone else will."
Ryosuke's words meant he was afraid someone would steal his kills.
Those ghosts weren't ghosts at all in his eyes!
Those are adorable experience babies!
"You kid!"
Jigoro sighed.
Clearly, he misunderstood Ryosuke's meaning.
They thought Ryosuke was thinking of others.
Such a temperament is not bad, but it can also easily lead to death.
Breathing techniques have a remarkable effect on healing injuries; within half a month, Ryosuke's injuries had healed completely.
During this time, Shota also went on his first mission.
There's no way around it; too many people pass the final assessment, and too few are suitable for newcomers to practice on.
Ryosuke sat at the edge of the training field, deliberately lengthening each breath he took.
The airflow seemed to solidify, carrying away the stagnant turbidity in the body, and a subtle stinging sensation followed.
Complete Collection - Regular Middle School.
This is the method that Ryosuke mainly studied during this period.
In layman's terms, it means making full concentration breathing a habit.
Whether eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, or playing cards, you are constantly in full concentration.
This is the foundation of breathing techniques, the key to unlocking the body's limits, and it is extremely important.
Simply put, full concentration breathing is like unleashing a devastating attack.
Once you master the "Constant Hit" skill, you can ignore skill cooldowns and keep using "Musou" (a special attack skill) to turn active skills into passive skills.
"Breathing is not about exerting force, but about merging into it."
Jigoro instructed from the side: "Lightning does not only exist when it erupts; it is constantly gestating deep within the clouds, storing up power without being released, and its force is even stronger."
Ryosuke tried again, but failed once more.
This kind of cultivation cannot be rushed.
Besides skills, it's mostly about habits.
After all, even someone as strong as the protagonist, Tanko, was tormented to the point of near death while learning the complete set of the "Standard" method.
