From Becoming the Master of Monsters

At this time, in a deep mountain, a young man with dark red hair and pupils and a scar on his left forehead was concentrating on holding the knife in his hand and adjusting his breathing.

It wasn't until he felt that he finally caught the so-called flaw choice and split the boulder in front of him in two with one blow that the young man finally showed a rather surprised expression.

Because splitting the spherical boulder in front of him was the final test given to him by Nintaki Sakonji. If he couldn't even do this, Nintaki Sakonji thought that he was not qualified to participate in the Demon Slayer Assessment.

In order to defeat Demon Dance Tsuji Mukai, avenge his family, and to change his sister Yadouzi back to her original appearance, Tanjiro believes that he must become stronger, and the first step is to join the Demon Slayer Team that specializes in killing ghosts. middle.

Tanjiro had already reached the standard for other trainings that Nintaki Saru had given him recently, but only the huge rock in front of him kept blocking his steps.

But after working hard day after day, he finally mastered the technique and successfully split the boulder in front of him.

Yadouzi had fallen into a long sleep some time ago, which made Tanjiro even more impatient to find a solution.

After he had definitely cut open the boulder and completed his final studies, Nintaki Sakonji had no choice but to let Tanjiro go to the Demon Slayer Corps for assessment.

The young Tanjiro also embarked on a journey. Before leaving, Nintaki Sakonji gave Tanjiro a mask as proof of his lineage, as well as his own spare Nichirin sword.

And when Tanjiro followed the map given by Nintaki Sakonji and came to the so-called assessment location Fujirai Mountain, he found that this place was different from what Nintaki Sakonji said.

According to what Nintaki Sakonji said, Fujirai Mountain is a prison where evil spirits are imprisoned, so Tanjiro thought that this place must be quite eerie and terrifying.

But when Tanjiro came here, he found that not only did it not feel scary, it was also quite beautiful.

Gorgeous wisteria flowers bloomed all over the foot of the mountain, and at this time, a large number of boys and girls like him gathered at the foot of the mountain, planning to come to take the assessment for joining the team.

The number of people there was at least twice as many as what Rinataaki Saru had said recently.

According to what Nintaki Sakonji said before, the entrance examination for the Demon Slayer Corps is extremely dangerous. Most of the swordsmen who have not been thoroughly trained have no real experience in killing demons, so those who come here to test basically have a narrow escape from death.

Therefore, the number of people who come to participate in the Demon Slayer Assessment every year is not too large, because in addition to mastering the breathing method themselves, they also need to obtain the approval of the instructor.

But at this time, Tanjiro could see that there were no signs of crowds. Instead, there were so many people here that it seemed like a festival was being held.

And soon, Tanjiro discovered the reason from the whispers around him.

The reason why there are so many more people in this year's Demon Slayer Examination than before seems to be because of the turmoil caused by last year's Demon Slayer Examination.

It is said that a powerful monster-like being participated in the assessment last year and single-handedly killed the evil spirits who had been imprisoned in Tengxi Mountain for nearly a hundred years in one breath.

This has also led to the current emptiness of demons in Fujisei Mountain, so most people feel that this year's Demon Slayer assessment should be easier than in previous years, so they all choose to come here for the assessment this year.

Hmph, a group of weak and scum-like guys, if they are so afraid of facing evil spirits, why do they come to take the assessment?

And do you all think that the Demon Slayers are all fools? Now Tengxi Mountain has been supplemented with new evil spirits. If you take the assessment with a relaxed mood, you might as well go home early, lest you die in the end without knowing how.

The person who said this was a young man with a dark comb hair and a hideous scar on the left side of his face.

This person is actually not an ordinary person, but the younger brother of the current Wind Pillar Fusukawa Saneya, Fusugawa Genya.

Naturally, the teenagers who had been discussing before were extremely angry at Xuanya Immortal's cynicism.

However, due to Immortal Kawagenya's fierce aura and the terrifying scars on the opponent's face, he did not dare to take action against the opponent at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and say: It sounds so nice, but it's not for this reason yourself. I just came here to take part in the assessment this year.”

The boy who had been ridiculed before now said quite unconvinced.

Although Demon Slayer is accompanied by huge risks, it must be said that in the current social environment, the benefits enjoyed are really rich.

You must know that in today's society, most people have trouble even having enough to eat, and the people of the Demon Slayer Corps not only have good benefits, but they are also respected by everyone wherever they go.

I'm different from you trash. What I want to do is to kill all the evil spirits in this mountain just like the monster from last term!

Immortal Kawagenya turned around and left immediately after leaving these words. Although he was grumpy and had a bad attitude, in fact, the previous Immortal Kawagenya's intentions were not bad.

If you enter Tengxi Mountain with the mentality of these people, you will almost certainly die!

Touching the horrific injury on the left side of his face that extended to his nose, Genya Immortal seemed to be stuck in bad memories, and his expression became more fierce and angry.

Only those who have truly faced evil spirits will know how beyond common sense those monsters are.

Although he was well-intentioned to prevent those who were not strong enough to die, because Immortal Kawagenya's temper and attitude were really bad, not only did it not have any effect, but he was disgusted by most people.

When the time was almost up, the Demon Slayer Squad's assessment began as scheduled.

The black and white lolita who greeted Yuto and the others last year also appeared in front of Tanjiro and others again.

But after taking another glance, there were more than double the number of examiners around than before. In addition to the rules, the black and white Loli also talked about some other things this time.

The general meaning is similar to what Immortal Kawagenya said before, that is, he hopes that those examiners who originally planned to fish in troubled waters would be better off giving up the examination now.

Because the current situation in Tengxi Mountain is not as optimistic as they thought before.

Thanks to the efforts of all the pillars, the evil ghosts in Tengxi Mountain have been replenished to a certain number. Although because they were captured not long ago, these evil ghosts may not be as violent and resentful as the previous evil ghosts.

But it is far from what ordinary people can resist, especially the evil ghosts captured by the Demon Pillar, which are even comparable to the hand ghosts who were the main handlers in the Vine Attack Mountain before.

Not to mention ordinary people, even those new ghost-slaying swordsmen who have mastered the breathing method may not be able to survive in the hands of those ghosts.
