Demon Slayer: Strength Gained with Every Swing of the Sword

In the last flicker of consciousness, Feng Yu seemed to hear the sweet voice of a girl whispering in his ear.

"Moshi, Moshi?"

…

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked up at the sky, muttering to himself, "Our Demon Slayer Corps has produced another outstanding swordsman… Giyu…"

Beside him, Giyu's body seemed to tremble for a moment, but quickly regained its usual stillness.

"That child single-handedly slayed a mountain of demons, including one of the Twelve Kizuki's Lower Rank Three…"

"Such an excellent child…"

Before long, news of Feng Yu's victory in slaying Lower Rank Three spread among the Hashira.

Feng Yu had no idea how long he had been unconscious. All he knew was that this time, he was truly exhausted—his injuries were the most severe he had sustained since arriving in this world.

During his slumber, it seemed that there was a voice calling him to wake up at every moment.

Time passed.

Everyone was eager to see the person who had slain Lower Rank Three with their own eyes, but all were denied access by the Butterfly Mansion, the official reason being that Feng Yu was still in a coma.

Despite this, only Shinobu knew the real reason why no one was allowed to visit.

…

"Mm..."

"Where am I?"

Feng Yu slowly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a clean wooden room, and beside him, Xiao Bai was still fast asleep.

After rubbing his head, Feng Yu gently touched Xiao Bai.

In its sleep, Xiao Bai seemed to sense the familiar touch, suddenly opening its eyes.

"Ying!"

Upon seeing its master awake, Xiao Bai excitedly leaped into Feng Yu's arms, licking his face frantically with its tongue.

"Master… Master… I missed you so much…"

Suddenly, a soft, sweet voice echoed in Feng Yu's mind.

"Huh? Who's speaking?"

Feng Yu was puzzled. The room was empty, with only him and Xiao Bai, no one else. Scanning the room, his gaze landed back on Xiao Bai in his arms.

"Could it be that Xiao Bai is speaking?"

Feng Yu cupped Xiao Bai in his hands, inspecting it closely.

"Master… Master…"

The sweet voice echoed again. This time, Feng Yu listened attentively.

"Xiao Bai, you can speak now?" Feng Yu asked, surprised.

Waking up to discover his pet could talk was such a huge surprise!

"Yes… Master…" came the reply, a soft voice within Feng Yu's mind.

Although Feng Yu felt a little disappointed that Xiao Bai could only communicate with him and not with others, perhaps this was a result of their pet contract.

"Anyway, I'm just so happy…" Feng Yu said as he petted Xiao Bai.

"At least I was able to get you out of the trouble…"

Feng Yu recalled when he had encountered Lower Rank Three of the Twelve Kizuki, he had secretly instructed Xiao Bai to leave and asked Xiao Hei to come to his rescue.

Given the circumstances, it was clear that Feng Yu had survived.

"Mm~"

"My body feels so relaxed…"

Feng Yu stretched with a deep yawn, his body cracking from being still for so long.

His eyes then turned to his status panel.

Reward: Sword Strikes x 2 million, System Simulation Function, Death God Mask.

Status: Two-thirds completed

"Sword strikes have reached over five million…"

"This means that the sickle leaf brought me two million Sword strikes…"

Feng Yu quickly did the math: Blood Demon Art demons counted as 500,000 Sword strikes, ordinary demons as 50,000, and adding them all up gives over 3 million Sword strikes.

So, sickle leaf was worth two million Sword strikes.

"Light Breathing and the three missions are nearly complete…"

"So does this mean I'm about to get rich…?" Feng Yu was quite satisfied with his rewards, though the danger level was rapidly rising.

If this were to happen again, Feng Yu would definitely say:

"Only a fool would do this again!"

"Spirit Power Secret Technique has leveled up…"

"Should I just use my Sword strikes to level it up to a higher tier?"

Feng Yu hesitated. This time, the Spirit Power really helped him a lot, but this technique could be cultivated on its own. It seemed a bit wasteful to level it up using Sword strikes…

Moreover, looking at the cost, it would certainly not be cheap…

Right now, Feng Yu's main priority was to improve his combat strength. Once he completed another Demon Slayer Corps mission, the simulation function would unlock. Then he could quickly push Water Breathing or any other techniques to a higher level.

"Forget it, I won't upgrade the Spirit Power Technique for now…"

"In this battle, I also realized my strengths and weaknesses. My strength and defense are strong, but my perception is lacking. If my perception were strong enough, I wouldn't have been attacked so quickly in the beginning…"

"Of course… perhaps I should just enhance my defense even further?"

Feng Yu rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Afterward, he silently leveled up his Golden Body Strengthening Technique to the Mastery level.

A familiar sensation overtook him.

Feng Yu's mind was filled with knowledge, and illusions began to swirl around him.

"Namo Amitabha."

"Namo Amitabha."

…

The sound of chanting echoed in his ears.

Before him was a massive golden Buddha.

At that moment, Feng Yu could feel a golden glow emanating from his body, and he clearly sensed a thin membrane forming on his skin.

It was very thin, but when he tried to cut his skin with his Nichirin Sword, it didn't even leave a scratch.

"My defense has increased again…" Feng Yu exclaimed.

It seemed that he was getting further and further into the realm of defense.
