Spiderweb-like cracks instantly covered the surface of the rock, and the next moment, the entire boulder exploded under his brute force.
Amidst the rising dust, Uzui Tengen let out a long breath and looked at Ryosuke, his brows furrowed.
"This so-called breathing technique still doesn't flow smoothly or gracefully enough! It feels like something is stuck in my throat!"
Yu Sui Tianyuan's tone was tinged with annoyance.
Ryosuke's eye twitched, and he looked away from the pile of rubble.
Only after spending time together did he realize that his understanding of Tengen Uzui from watching the anime was far too superficial!
This guy is a ferocious beast disguised as a human!
Its speed and power are both impeccable, far exceeding the limits of ordinary people!
Even in Momoyama's basic training, the intensity of his daily training was no less than that of himself and Shota!
However, Yu Sui Tian Yuan struggled to make any progress on the most crucial aspect: breathing techniques.
Thunder Breathing emphasizes explosive power, like lightning.
In layman's terms, it means compressing all the body's strength into a single point and releasing it instantly.
The first form, Thunderclap Flash, is the most basic of the basics.
It can be combined with other sword techniques to create a chain of attacks in the Thunderclap Sword Technique.
Uzui Tengen's words...
He took a different path.
He crushes everything with absolute power and physique, somewhat like Gyomei Himejima.
Simple, direct, and domineering!
There's no skill involved, just sheer strength! A pure statistic monster, especially in wrist strength!
One hand could take down all four of Shota's hands!
Just like that strike he just made, he smashed the rock apart purely with brute force.
"The essence of Raihu is the instantaneous explosive power at high speed."
Ryosuke slowly began, "Your approach... well, it's... a different kind of path?"
He simply couldn't find a more fitting word.
The swiftness and agility of Raiho on Uzui Tengen was like dressing a mammoth in a ballet tutu!
That's so damn abstract!
"Potential can be limited."
Kuwashima Jigoro, who was supervising the training from the side, came to a conclusion while leaning on his cane.
He glanced at Yuzui Tengen and said calmly.
"Your physique, strength, and reflexes are all top-notch; you were born to follow a fierce and domineering path."
"Forcing Lei Hu into its framework is like stuffing a bull into a dog kennel; it will only result in mutual destruction. Perhaps... we should change direction and try to evolve Lei Hu out of its own way, to forge our own path."
Uzui Tengen remained silent for a moment, then gripped the wooden sword in his hand tightly.
He is not someone who is inflexible.
His experience of betraying his family made him deeply aware of the importance of making choices.
"Even if you want to create a brilliant branch, you must first have a deep understanding of the foundation of the mainstream."
Yu Sui Tianyuan said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, it would just be a castle in the air, all show and no substance."
He picked up the two swords, his eyes regaining their resolve.
"Keep practicing! I refuse to believe I can't achieve this!"
Ryosuke shrugged and didn't try to persuade him further.
Professional tasks should be left to professionals.
Jigoro is a very skilled trainer with a keen eye; he will take care of the subsequent guidance and path planning.
Days flowed by amidst sweat and the sound of knives being wielded.
Ryosuke went on several more missions and was promoted to the rank of Self.
In any case, a promotion is always a good thing.
This means he can access higher-level missions and has a greater chance of encountering high-level lifespan packs.
During training breaks, Ryosuke didn't rest either.
He took the initiative to approach Uzui Tengen and his three wives, humbly seeking their advice on ninja tool throwing techniques and stealth tips.
The ninja's honed killing skills are highly effective in the life-or-death arena of demon hunting.
More methods mean more lives.
Uzui Tengen was very generous in this regard, and even had the ninja rat bring over several small and exquisite wrist crossbows and poisoned kunai for Ryosuke to study.
The young crane gently explained the proportions of different poisons and explosives, as well as the timing of their effects.
Maki crossed his arms and occasionally made sarcastic comments about Ryosuke's clumsy techniques.
Suma nervously reminded him not to accidentally hurt himself.
Of course, Rika was always there during these times, watching anxiously from the sidelines.
Later, when Ryosuke went on a mission, he also tested the demon.
This poison is effective on humans but not so effective on ghosts; it will be broken down in just a few minutes.
The Butterfly Mansion hasn't been built yet, so we'll have to rely on Shinobu and Kanae to develop a poison to kill demons.
Left with no other choice, the matter was temporarily shelved.
Soon, Yuzui Tengen's strength improvement hit a bottleneck.
His foundation is so solid; his basic physical fitness and fighting skills have long been honed to the limits of human ability.
On Mount Momo, only Ryosuke and Shota are currently capable of giving him a good fight.
After sparring many times, they had become intimately familiar with each other's moves and habits.
Ryosuke's triple attack was incredibly fast, but Tengen Uzui always managed to avoid the vital points thanks to his beast-like intuition and reflexes.
Shota's Thunderclap Sword Technique was still quite immature, lacking in both power and speed, and posed no real threat to Tengen Uzui.
The simulations on the training field ultimately lack the deadly sense of danger of being on the edge of a knife.
"No! This won't do! It's too unrefined! We'll never cross the threshold of breathing techniques!"
After a sparring session, Uzui Tengen wiped away his sweat and looked at Ryosuke and Shota, who were also slightly out of breath.
"Next time you guys go on a mission, I'll go with you! Real combat is the best whetstone! The most glorious upgrades happen on the battlefield!"
"Okay, then we can look out for each other."
Ryosuke nodded as he saw the fighting spirit burning in Tengen Uzui's eyes.
Jigoro had no objection to this idea and equipped Uzui Tengen with two Nichirin Blades.
He wants to progress so much!
They couldn't stop them.
Furthermore, Yu Sui Tian Yuan possesses high talent and a solid foundation.
Even if he had only learned the basic breathing techniques, after acquiring the Nichirin Blade, ordinary low- to mid-level demons would be no match for him.
There's no need for Ciwulang to worry.
Similarly, by helping Tengen Uzui learn the charts faster, Ryosuke can also learn a trick from him.
Although this move has a long wind-up, it is surprisingly effective against strong opponents.
Once completed, it will be a guaranteed kill!
However, the skill of drawing charts benefits from Uzui Tengen's superb hearing and reaction abilities, and even requires a certain sense of pitch.
For Ryosuke, who was a shut-in in his previous life, let alone having a sense of pitch, it would be difficult enough for him to sing without going off-key.
This is a major weakness; I need to work on it.
Ryosuke pondered for a moment, then thought of something else.
"but……"
He paused, then added a request that seemed extremely strange to others: "I have to be the one to cut off the demon's head."
Uzui Tengen looked Ryosuke up and down, as if he were seeing this lazy guy with a hidden sharpness for the first time.
"Your request is certainly extravagant and peculiar."
He stroked his chin, his silver ponytail swaying as he said, "Fine! I'm not interested in ghost heads. As long as my blade can drink enough blood from a powerful enemy, I'll let you handle the decapitation!"
He laughed heartily and readily agreed, without delving into the reasons behind this strange request.
In his eyes, Ryosuke's actions might just be some kind of eccentric hobby.
Or perhaps it's an obsession with delivering a fatal blow.
It doesn't matter, as long as he can fight and break through.
It features a battle maniac! The battles are exhilarating!
Soon, a few days later, the raven brought new instructions.
"Gah! Ryosuke Yasui! Level 6 command!"
"Thirteen young men have gone missing in Ine Town, Hokuriku, and large areas of clay remain at the scene."
Chapter 28 Blood Demon Art: Blood Sealing and Revitalizing Pottery
Ryosuke was taken aback. Could it be that this ghost, like the ugly Gyokko, is a master of breaking down defenses who is obsessed with perverse art?
If that's the case, it's definitely going to be difficult!
