Metasequoia Blade

Among the swordsmen who came to participate in the assessment, except for the students, most of them had their own careers.

For example, the police, such as Umokichi, he is a drummer, plays music and opens a Twitter account, and can make a lot of money every month.

Fukuzawa Yukichi himself is the boss of a detective agency, Monk Anlin is the heir to the abbot of a temple, brother Inoue is a freelance reporter running around...they all have their own jobs.

Even if you can't become a pillar, it is still a great thing to participate in the assessment, improve yourself, and meet more and better people.

So after the first day of the competition, some people's mentality changed.

Minano Hideo decided on the goal of making soy sauce to improve his experience, and he was in a good mood when eating. He even chatted with Brother Inoue, and the two were chatting about some social news.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was thinking about the chat with Kuruka Luokanahu yesterday, although he said a lot, the girl kept smiling, was she tactfully refusing?Then should he talk to Nanye Xiuyi again?

Kamado Tanjiro's mentality is also very stable, he just wants to be the pillar, the stronger the opponent is, can he be as strong as Tomioka Yoshiyuki who beats him every day?Is there any Izawa Sugito help with the training?

The police station swordsman with the weakest strength has completely given up, but the other two police station swordsmen are still struggling. If they lose too badly, they will be scolded by their superiors after returning.

How are we going to fight tomorrow?

In the evening, many people choose to go to the hot spring to relieve the fatigue of the day.

Purgatory Ye Shoulang was sitting comfortably in the pool with a wooden basin and towel. When he was resting with his eyes closed, someone suddenly jumped into the pool.

Purgatory Ye Shoulang opened one eye and saw that it was Brother Inoue.

He greeted lazily, and continued to soak in the hot spring with his eyes closed.

Brother Inoue leaned over to Purgatory Ye Shoulang: "You alone?"

Purgatory Ye Shoulang: "Aji went to visit Mori Zhu, and An Lin is doing daily classes."

The great monk recites scriptures every day, which is said to be a special cultivation method passed down from the rock pillar.

Brother Inoue soaked in the hot spring and made a comfortable voice: "Ah, the muscles of the whole body are relaxed, so refreshing."

He looked up at the starry sky above his head, and asked softly, "Why don't you go to Mr. Purgatory?"

Purgatory Ye Shoulang said inexplicably, "Why am I looking for Grandpa?"

Brother Inoue smiled and said, "Don't you want to get some inside information?"

Purgatory Ye Shoulang said speechlessly: "What is there to inquire about? I want to be a pillar, try to be a pillar, that's all."

Brother Inoue said with some displeasure: "Aren't you worried that those juniors will dictate to you?"

Purgatory Ye Shoulang: "You mean Tanjiro? That kid is very good. He often comes to the dojo with his friends to practice, and he also taught me a lot of tricks."

Brother Inoue yelled strangely: "Isn't it? Have you already recognized him?"

"...Don't you know? He has stripes." Purgatory Ye Shoulang said in a low voice, "It's a qualitative leap to get stripes."

Brother Inoue gasped after hearing this, his expression was stunned: "You have stripes..."

After entering the realm of Changzhong, all the swordsmen in Yaowu will know the next step of training. It is difficult to open the markings, but it is even more difficult after opening the markings. You must step into the gate of fairy art before the age of 25, otherwise you will die.

"He's only 16 years old." Brother Inoue's expression was ugly: "Nine years, is it enough for him to step into the gate of fairy art?"

"So why compare with him?"

Purgatory Ye Shoulang comforted Brother Inoue: "You don't know, right? That child Shanyi has also developed stripes, but it is difficult for him to stay in the stripe state freely. It is said that the stripes can only be turned on when there is an outbreak. Morizhu is having a headache."

Inoue said in surprise: "Really? I heard An Lin say that kid only knows how to run!"

"But An Lin lost."

Purgatory Ye Shoulang said: "Although my wife Shanyi's move is only one blow, it has reached the peak. When fighting him, you must concentrate on it, otherwise it will be easy to be sent off by his sword."

"But Shanyi's strength is unstable. Mori Zhu tried to encourage Shanyi to practice hard, but the effect was not good."

Purgatory Ye Shoulang and Tanjiro had more contact with the children who came back. At this moment, he broke the news: "Morizhu said that if Shanyi can't improve this time, he will kick Shanyi out of the house and not let him be a stepson."

Brother Inoue couldn't laugh or cry: "It's the first time I've heard that stepson can revoke it."

"Although it sounds like a joke, but..."

Purgatory Ye Shoulang recalled the battle between Izawasugi and Tokito Wuichiro, the floor and walls of the entire dojo were almost overturned, he sighed: "The strong are the strong, and it is precisely because they are strong and invulnerable that they are The pillar of Yao House."

Brother Inoue was silent, and Ye Shoulang from Purgatory said again: "Don't forget, the pillars selected will be assessed by all the pillars, and the last assessment will be made public."

"In the end, no matter who becomes Zhu, he will have a good fight with the former Zhu."

Purgatory Ye Shoulang said very bachelorly: "I am definitely not the opponent of those Zhu, maybe I will be beaten beyond recognition, but I don't know who can withstand Zhu's attack this time."

In fact, he is really looking forward to the final assessment. He wonders what kind of strength Kamado Tanjiro will display in the face of the pillars?

Brother Inoue was dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is it like to shoot with all your strength?"

"Didn't you see Grandpa fight?" Purgatory Ye Shoulang said in surprise.

"But Zhu's strength also has a high and a bottom, right?" Brother Inoue said, "Mr. Purgatory is naturally extremely strong, what about the other Zhu?"

Purgatory Ye Shoulang said with a half-smile: "I don't know how others are, but I know that Mori Zhu and Xia Zhu are very scary."

Think about his dojo that was almost blown up.

"Senzhu..."

Inoue touched his chin: "Does Aji know Moriju's true strength?"

Purgatory Ye Shoulang thought for a while: "If you want to know, ask in Aji's room at night? And he may get some information about the assessment when he comes back from Mori Zhu."

Brother Inoue was overjoyed: "Okay, let's go find him together tonight."

"Brindle? Do you want to practice brindle?"

Izawasugi looked at Umokichi in surprise.

After dinner, Umokichi came to pay a visit, and Izawasugi would naturally not refuse.

Umokichi first asked Izesugi about his performance today, and after getting a good evaluation, he tentatively put forward a request to practice markings.

"Yes, my uncle told me about the stripes. He said that after stepping into the normal breathing, you will naturally move towards the realm of the stripes."

Yumoji sat cross-legged in front of Izawasugi, and he considered the words: "Modern medicine has a saying that overbreathing will cause physical damage, but there is also a saying that as material life becomes more and more endowed, people accept it. The nutrients in the body are all in excess, including breathing."

"The oxygen a person breathes is fixed. If you breathe too much, although it can improve the body's metabolism and vitality, it also consumes future vitality."

Yumoji said: "Grandpa said that swordsmen who have practiced the breathing method to the extreme will have metabolized keratin due to excessive metabolism in the body, and thus appear spots on the face or somewhere on the body."

"This is a sign that the body has entered a new realm, but it is also a warning that a large amount of vitality is consumed. If one does not learn to absorb natural energy as soon as possible to make up for the loss of the body, one will die at the age of 25."

Umoyoshi said to Izawasugi: "I'm already 22 years old. If I don't turn on my stripes, I will have no chance at all."

Izeshan frowned: "Didn't you know how to cultivate stripes before?"

Yu Manji smiled wryly and said: "Grandpa didn't activate the stripes, and he didn't seem to plan to. He told me the cultivation method, but I still can't get the trick."

Izeshan thought for a while: "Then will you activate Heren?"

Ubikichi cheered up: "I once opened it with the help of my uncle in a certain battle, although I didn't succeed again after that."

"Are you sure you want to learn? If you open the markings but don't step into the gate of fairy art, you will die."

Izawasugi warns Umokichi.

But Yumoji said: "Everyone is going to die, the important thing is how to die."

He hesitated for a while, and said to Yi Zeshan: "Grandpa has been back for a long time, and the three wives have followed Grandpa early, but they have never had any children. At first I thought it was because of their health, but later I found out that it was Grandpa. Do not want."

"Letting Iga's bloodline stop here is a decision made by my grandfather a long time ago."

It is difficult for Umokichi to describe the complexity and entanglement in his heart: "My grandfather is the younger brother of my uncle. Not only has he become a ghost, but his only ideal is to continue Iga. Our branch has been taken care of by the Fujishita family, and has received Uncle Grandpa's careful teaching should have tried his best to help Uncle Grandpa realize his ideals, but..."

Izeshan couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this.

One gritted his teeth and said that he wanted to cut off his children and grandchildren, and the other wanted to continue Iga's tradition even if he became a ghost. The Umokichi branch was caught between the two elders, and it was really a dilemma.

"I thought, if I can open the stripes, if I can change Iga's inheritance and completely become a new inheritance, will Grandpa be relieved of the past."

Umokichi looked at Izawasugi, and he said seriously, "I want to try."

Izeshan smiled after hearing this: "I have received your determination, that's fine. After the assessment is over, come to me, and I will try my best to teach you."

Umokichi heaved a sigh of relief, he smiled and saluted seriously: "Thank you for your fulfillment."

"...Actually, the so-called ninja inheritance is not what the teacher thinks at all."

Izesugi couldn't help complaining to Umoji: "He is a fake ninja, and my family is the real ninja inheritance."

Umokichi was taken aback: "The real ninja inheritance?"

"Yeah, for example, assassination, what do you think assassination is?"

Izesugi didn't wait for Umokichi to answer, he said: "The so-called assassination is to kill all witnesses, so that no one will know that you did it. This is an assassination."

Umokichi: "..."

Izeshan: "My parents are the real ninjas galloping on the battlefield. Don't be led into a ditch by the teacher."

Umokichi walked away lightly and heavily.

When he returned to the room, he found that his friends were waiting for him.

Purgatory Ye Shoulang asked Yu Manji: "What did you find out at Mori Zhu?"

"for example?"

Umokichi said casually: "Zhu's seniors are easy to get in touch with, as long as they don't let go of their aura."

"Such as our performance on the first day?"

Monk An Lin asked tentatively.

"Mr. Eze said that the overall situation is very good, which exceeded their expectations."

Yu Manji stretched his waist: "Anyway, perform well and fight hard. You have shown your strength. If you want to go further, you can ask Zhu's seniors to mention it."
