[Blade of Demon Slayer] Half-Ghost

The two of them went to the mountain many times and shuttled in the previous training ground.From the stumbling at the beginning, it gradually became more comfortable.

The various functions of the body also began to gradually improve, whether physical strength or sensitivity, they were all continuously strengthened.

Even their five senses have been greatly improved compared to before.

Because their strength has improved, the difficulty of the trap is also increasing, but they are not afraid, and they are still advancing bravely.

Because they need to strengthen their strength to protect the people they want to protect.

Suddenly one day, Mr. Rinaki and the two of them took a knife to avoid the trap.The two couldn't adapt for a while, so they more or less fell into the trap and made mistakes.

From that day on, not only had to avoid traps, but also learn to swing a knife every day.Even when it feels like their hands are going to break, they still hold on.

As long as they achieve their goals, there will be higher goals waiting for them to challenge.

As the intensity deepened, the content of Mr. Ryotaki's teaching became more and more detailed.When swinging a knife, apply force along the blade.Because the longitudinal strength of the knife is very strong, but it cannot withstand lateral impact.

If you don't pay attention, the blade may break, and in a critical moment, you may lose a huge part of your combat power.

Therefore, it should be noted that the orientation of the blade and the direction of force of the blade must be consistent.Mr. Rinaki emphasized that if the sword is damaged, we will suffer the same blow.

After the basic knowledge is taught, hands-on practice begins.At the beginning, no matter how they attacked, they couldn't get close to the husband, but they would be thrown to the ground hard.

But no matter what posture they fell in, they would quickly adjust their posture, get up quickly, and then attack him again.

Not long after the hands-on practice, I started to learn the breathing method and [style]. Before that, the theoretical knowledge should be explained first, and then practiced.

It was not easy for Tanjiro to learn, but he finally learned it.However, Ling Matsuma just comprehended the move no matter what, but couldn't cause any damage.

She was very depressed at first, but with Tanjiro's encouragement, she awakened herself to consider the breathing method.After all, she is not a complete person, and it is understandable that she cannot use breathing techniques.

Under the theoretical guidance of Mr. Lin Taki, Ryo Matsuma developed a new breathing method - the breathing of ghosts.

Now she has only created the ghost breathing style, haunted by evil spirits.That is to say, people are nailed in place and cannot move easily.

One year later, Mr. Lin Taki and his master said to them: "From now on, it's up to you to see if you can use what I taught you completely. Come with me."

Then he brought the two of them to a huge boulder wrapped with a rope in the back mountain, turned to them and said, "If you can split this rock, I will allow you to participate in the final selection."

After saying this, the master turned and left.

In the next six months, we practiced basic skills diligently, but we still couldn't cut the boulder open.At first they thought they hadn't exercised enough, but after they strengthened their exercise, they still couldn't break the boulder.

Thinking of Nezuko who was still sleeping, Tanjiro yelled in dismay, Matsuma Rei, who usually looked calm, now had a face full of powerlessness.

Tanjiro slammed his head against the boulder: "Work hard, I will work hard!" When he hit the boulder again, someone shouted: "It's so noisy!"

Then, a man wearing a fox mask appeared on the boulder, holding a wooden knife in his hand, and sarcastically said to them: "I have been practicing for a year and a half, so I might as well give up as soon as possible."

"Just crying and shouting because of this small setback, you are really worthless. No matter how painful it is, hold back and keep silent."

"If you have something you want to protect, cheer me up and show me the results!" After speaking, he jumped off the boulder and attacked them.

When the two teamed up, not only did they fail to defeat him, but they were beaten terribly, and even passed out by a wooden knife.

When he woke up again, the boy with the fox mask had already left.Squatting beside them was a little girl with a fox mask pinned to her head.

Ryo Matsuma woke up and looked at her vigilantly, while Tanjiro told her how powerful that boy was today, and he wanted to be like him too.

In the end, under her guidance, the two of them made more rapid progress.I also learned from the girl that her name is Zhenko, and the boy from before was called Ximian.

They once asked if the two were siblings, and Zhenzhu told them that they were not, but that they were orphans adopted by the master.

Under the guidance of Makoto, the two continued to challenge Ximian, and another half a year passed like this.

Suddenly one day, when the two went to challenge Xi Mian again, this time he was actually carrying a real sword.

This time, the two of them moved towards Xi Mian Gong very tacitly, much faster than before.

Matsuma Ryo first resorted to haunting evil spirits, and then resorted to his newly developed Ghost Breath II, the ultimate Shura slashed across, accompanied by bursts of red saber light.Tanjiro took advantage of the situation and slashed with a knife, and the two horizontal and vertical knives combined to chop Kaimune's mask into pieces.

The mask was shattered, revealing Xi Fang's exquisite face, and there was still a trace of bewilderment on his face, and then he smiled faintly.

Seeing that smile, Ling Matsuma frowned slightly.Because in that smile, there is comfort and peace of mind, as well as a touch of sadness.

At this time, Makoto's voice came: "Tanjiro, Ling-chan, you guys did a great job, don't forget the feeling just now, you must win!"

After she finished speaking, not only she, but also Xi Fang disappeared, as if taken away by mist.

After the mist dissipated, a cross knife mark was left on the rock, which was severely split.

Tanjiro found the line of how to grasp the flaws of others, and Ryo Matsuma also broke through himself and developed the second formula of Ghost Breath.

At this time, the master walked to the side of the two, looked at the split rock, and sighed: "I didn't intend to let you participate in the final selection, because I didn't want to see my child die again."

"We thought you couldn't cut this rock, but in fact you did it." After speaking, he raised his hands, put them on the heads of the two, and rubbed them gently: "It's been a hard time, you really It's excellent."

[I have worked so hard, on the road of giving up and persisting, and on the road of continuous cycle, I finally got the affirmation of others, it is really a joyful thing. 】

When Matsuma Ling was hugged by her master, she had tears in her eyes, thinking so in her heart.

"Choose in the end, and you must come back alive." The master said to them, and the two withdrew from their embrace, and made a solemn promise to him: "We will, master!"

That night, they personally tasted the dishes made by the master, including grilled fish and fresh soup.

After the meal, Tanjiro asked Ryo Matsuma to help him cut his hair. After repeated confirmation, she cut off his shoulder-length hair and cut it into the same short hair as when he was at home.

Matsuma Ling stroked his hair, thinking silently.

[Charney sauce, you can go forward, I will always be by your side, I promise. 】

Afterwards, the master gave each of them a fox mask, which was very similar to that of the two before, but very different.

It should be said that it has its own characteristics.

On Tanjiro's mask, there is a half-sun in front of the scar.On the left side of Matsuma Ling's face, there are ancient lines almost all over the upper left half.

The master told them that at this time, he cast a magic spell on the evil spirit mask, which could keep them away from disasters.

The next day, the two wore masks on their heads, held knives in their waists, and wore clothes prepared by their master.Tanjiro carried Nezuko on his back, and Matsuma Ryo carried their luggage on his back, and set off towards the final selection goal.

"Master, we'll go back as soon as we go." The two said to Ryotaki, and after running a few steps, Tanjiro turned back and said to Ryotaki, "Master, send our regards to Kaimon and Mako."

Matsuma Ling also turned to Lin Taki and said, "That's right, Master, send our greetings to Senior Brother Ximian and Senior Sister Mako."

After the two finished speaking, they turned around and continued on their way.Ryodaki, who stayed where he was, was taken aback when he heard the words, and then murmured: "Tanjiro, why do you know the names of those two dead children."

"Also, Ling why do you know that the two of them are my apprentices."

The two people who left could not hear Rinaki's question now, so they couldn't give him an answer.
