Chapter 25 Training
As Nezuko's voice faded, Tanjiro fell into a deep sleep.
Urokodaki also stepped forward to examine Tanjiro's body and, finding no injuries, gently shook his head.
"Tanjiro should be fine!"
When Mizuko heard Urokodaki's confirmation, she finally felt relieved.
After Urokodaki settled Tanjiro in, he asked Nezuko a crucial question.
"Nezuko, would you like to join the Demon Slayer Corps?!"
Linlong's eyes were incredibly serious, and his tone carried a heavy weight.
In Nezuko and Tanjiro, he saw a long-lost hope.
A glimmer of hope that can break the rule of evil spirits and even reverse fate.
This girl not only possesses rare talent, but also a firm will and a pure heart.
Her brother, Tanjiro Kamado, is the only demon in a thousand years to retain his humanity.
Perhaps the two of them can bring new hope to the Demon Slayer Corps.
Without any hesitation, Mi Douzi nodded heavily, her eyes filled with determination.
"Mr. Urokodaki, I do!"
The Demon Slayer Corps is the only organization capable of constantly fighting demons and is the most likely to find Muzan Kibutsuji. Joining it would not only allow me to find a way to save my brother, but also give me the chance to personally slay demons and prevent others from suffering the same tragedy of family destruction. No matter what, I'm willing to give it a try!
She raised her head, looking resolutely at Urokodaki, her eyes gleaming.
She already knew about the Demon Slayer Corps when Urokodaki recounted the origins of demons.
They were a group of warriors who were willing to sacrifice everything to protect humanity.
Knowing that the people in this organization all had similar experiences and obsessions to her, Midouzi had already made up her mind to become one of them.
Looking into Mizuko's unwavering gaze, Urokodaki revealed a subtle hint of satisfaction beneath his mask.
He nodded slowly and said in a solemn tone.
"Then tomorrow, I will begin training you to become a qualified swordsman!"
Mizuko listened to Rin-taki's words with longing.
The next morning.
Linlong brought Midouzi to the mountains and forests.
"Your physical reactions and endurance are advantages that most people don't have. Your only shortcoming now is strength."
As soon as he finished speaking, Urokodaki turned and walked to the side, grabbed a huge log that was even taller and thicker than Mizuko with one hand, and pulled it in front of Mizuko with a little force.
The giant tree was incredibly heavy, and its bottom made a screeching sound when it rubbed against the ground. Just looking at it inspired awe.
Looking at the giant tree in front of her, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She didn't understand what Urokodaki wanted her to do.
"Now, I want you to carry it on your back and run from here to the bottom of the mountain, and then run from the bottom of the mountain back to the top of the mountain."
Urokodaki pointed to the winding mountain road in the distance and continued.
"During this time, you will still have to pass through the same traps as yesterday; you cannot avoid them. You should have noticed that the air is thin on the mountain, so you need to pay extra attention to your breathing while running. This is not only a test of your strength and endurance, but also an introductory test to your breathing techniques. Do you understand?"
Mizuko immediately straightened up, looked at Urokodaki with a firm gaze, and nodded vigorously!
"Understood, Mr. Urokodaki!"
"Alright, let's begin!"
As Urokodaki finished speaking, Mizuko took a deep breath, walked to the giant tree, grabbed the base of the tree tightly with both hands, and with her legs straining, gritted her teeth and slowly hoisted it onto her back.
The weight of the giant log far exceeded her expectations; as soon as she put it on, her knees involuntarily bent slightly.
A sharp, piercing pain shot through my back, as if I were about to be crushed.
She gritted her teeth and straightened her back, sweat instantly seeping from her forehead and sliding down her cheeks.
But without hesitation, she adjusted her breathing, took heavy steps, and ran with difficulty down the mountain.
Every step was incredibly heavy; the giant tree pressing down on her back made it extremely difficult for her to breathe.
The thin air made her feel suffocated in her chest, and her legs gradually became weak and sore.
But her gaze remained steadfast, and the images of her brother's gentle smile and the tragic deaths of her family members kept flashing through her mind, all of which became the strength that supported her forward.
"Huff... huff..."
Mi Douzi was panting heavily, her back was already soaked with sweat, and her clothes clung tightly to her body, making her feel painful.
Just then, a faint rustling sound came from the bushes ahead.
Her heightened senses were instantly triggered, and she immediately realized that a trap was about to be set.
She gritted her teeth, slightly shifted her body to the side, and simultaneously exerted force with her feet, managing to avoid the sharp wooden spikes that shot from the side while carrying the heavy log.
The splinter grazed her arm and embedded itself deeply in a nearby tree trunk, but she didn't stop at all and continued running downhill.
Standing atop the mountain, Urokodaki's gaze followed Mizuko's figure closely, watching her struggle against the weight of the giant tree, yet she refused to give up.
He could even precisely avoid traps, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes beneath the mask.
This strength training lasted for three whole months.
During these three months, Midouzi visibly became more and more adept at handling things.
His whole body was also full of power.
Urokodaki looked at Mizuko, who was carrying a giant log and squatting down, and his eyes were full of admiration.
However, during this time, Tanjiro seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and did not wake up.
Urokodaki also found a doctor for Tanjiro, but the doctor couldn't find anything wrong with Tanjiro.
After receiving the doctor's reply, Nezuko and Urokodaki breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were still worried, they were relieved to see that Tanjiro was not in any danger.
A month later, Urokodaki handed Mizuko a wooden sword.
"Your progress over the past four months has been so rapid that it has surprised even me."
Urokodaki's voice came through the tengu mask, carrying undisguised approval.
"His strength and endurance far surpass those of ordinary swordsmen, and his mastery of breathing techniques has exceeded my expectations. He can now steadily channel his breath throughout his body and unleash his physical potential."
He paused, his gaze falling on Mi Douzi's tall and upright figure, his tone becoming increasingly solemn.
"I think it's time to teach you swordsmanship that goes with your breathing techniques."
Midouzi gripped the wooden knife handle tightly with both hands, her fingertips tightening slightly, and a bright light instantly ignited in her eyes.
"Thank you, Mr. Urokodaki. I will definitely study even harder!"
Looking at the determination in her eyes, Urokodaki nodded slowly, turned to the side and stood in the center of the training field, raising his hand to signal Mizuko to come forward.
"The core of swordsmanship is to integrate it with breathing, so that every swing of the sword and every step is perfectly in sync with the rhythm of the breath. Swordsmanship without breathing is powerless, and breathing without swordsmanship is also difficult to unleash its full potential."
"Now I will teach you Water Breathing, First Form: Water Surface Slash!"
