Demon Slayer: Strength Gained with Every Swing of the Sword

Chapter 37: Chapter 38: Learning the Eleventh Form of Water Breathing



As Kagaya Ubuyashiki entered the house, the Hashira, who had been kneeling, finally let out a sigh of relief.

One by one, the others began to leave the place.

However, when the Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and the Snake Hashira, Iguro Obanai, were about to leave, they both shot fierce glares at Feng Yu .

Feng Yu was left feeling helpless. These two were just so... strange, their personalities were baffling at times.

Sanemi was bearably wild and arrogant, but was downright odd.

Feng Yu felt as though he hadn't done anything to provoke him, yet somehow, Obanai seemed to have targeted him with hostility.

"Am I... the legendary 'main character'?" Feng Yu thought, puzzled.

But soon, he would find out the reason.

"Feng Yu -kun, you're really handsome!"

Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji, said, blushing.

At that moment, Feng Yu finally took the time to examine Mitsuri's attire.

He had to admit, Mitsuri's figure and that deep V-shaped outfit were quite eye-catching.

Cough cough, I can't look too long, I'll get too excited...

Feng Yu 's face reddened a little, feeling guilty, "No, no… Mitsuri-san is the amazing one..."

"Thank you for the compliment, Feng Yu -kun… I wonder if you'd be interested in having a sweet romance with me…" Mitsuri said, covering her face shyly.

Feng Yu saw that her face was as red as a ripe peach.

Cough cough cough… "Uh, that's not necessary, Mitsuri-san… I'm not thinking about that yet…" Feng Yu replied.

"Truly a fairy…"

...

"I didn't expect you to have come this far... You're excellent... Is Urokodaki-sensei doing well?"

Giyu Tomioka, with his usual emotionless face, said.

"Senior Giyu, why don't you go back to see Urokodaki-sensei yourself? I can feel that he misses you," Feng Yu said.

"If I get the chance, I will… By the way, would you like to learn the eleventh form of Water Breathing, a technique I created myself... Nagi?"

"Senior Giyu, I'd love to!" Feng Yu quickly agreed. He had wanted to learn the eleventh form for a long time but had never had the opportunity. Now that Giyu had offered, why not seize the chance?

"I think you're more suited to the position of Water Hashira…" Giyu said.

Wait... is Giyu-sama planning to retire and pass on the position to me? Feng Yu thought.

"No, Senior Giyu, I think you're perfect for the role…" Feng Yu replied.

"No, I'm not suitable… I'm a coward… I'm just a nobody..."

Feng Yu noticed a subtle sadness in Giyu's eyes.

"Alright, alright, we shouldn't disturb the Lord's rest any longer," interrupted Shinobu Kochou, who had been watching.

Feng Yu cast a grateful glance at her.

Shinobu met his gaze and smiled.

"Feng Yu -kun, let's have a passionate battle full of justice!"

Kyojuro Rengoku shouted.

"Mr. Rengoku..."

Feng Yu was about to speak when Shinobu interrupted, "Are you sure you want to spar here?"

"What's going on? The temperature's dropped..."

"How scary, hahaha. Well, Feng Yu -kun, let's set up a time to spar at my place!"

Rengoku then left.

Only Feng Yu , Shinobu, and Giyu remained.

"Let's go, we should leave here first," Giyu said calmly.

The three of them were guided back to the Butterfly Mansion by a member of the Hidden Corps.

Soon, Shinobu excused herself, citing important work. Feng Yu knew she was probably heading to continue researching the Washi-dan (purification pills).

Sigh, another workaholic… Feng Yu couldn't help but think about Shinobu's dedication.

"Let's go..." Giyu said quietly.

Feng Yu followed Giyu to the training grounds.

Giyu stood opposite him, slowly drawing his Nichirin Sword .

The deep blue Sword glinted brightly under the sunlight.

"It's way better than my green one…" Feng Yu thought, envious.

Giyu ignored this, saying coolly, "The eleventh form of Water Breathing is my strongest defensive move. Watch closely, I'll demonstrate."

Then, Giyu began to perform the Water Breathing techniques, showcasing the eleventh form.

"Total Concentration, Water Breathing, Eleventh Form—Serenity!"

In an instant, Feng Yu felt as if Giyu was standing on the water's surface, every movement in the surroundings being blocked and returning to calm.

Soon, Giyu finished the demonstration.

Feng Yu learned a great deal from it, particularly about the form's posture and breathing rhythm.

With more practice, Feng Yu knew he would master the technique soon.

"Thank you, Senior Giyu!" Feng Yu exclaimed, feeling excited.

"Mm, just practice well..." Giyu responded coldly before leaving, leaving Feng Yu standing alone.

"This move is incredible…"

With this technique, Feng Yu felt like his strength would definitely improve.

In the following days, Feng Yu practiced the eleventh form of Water Breathing non-stop. Though he hadn't fully mastered it yet, he could already perform the technique.

"Moshi moshi, Feng Yu -kun, you're really hardworking, huh..."

Shinobu suddenly appeared behind him while he was practicing.

"Shinobu-san, did you succeed in your research?" Feng Yu couldn't help but ask.

Shinobu looked much better than the last time he saw her.

"Thanks to the pills you provided, my research has made significant progress."

"However, like the Healing Pills, there are a few ingredients that didn't match, so we had to substitute them, which caused the effectiveness to be reduced," Shinobu explained, taking out a pale yellow pill from her hand and offering it to Feng Yu .

"This is the result of my recent research. It's been tested, and there are no side effects."

"Thank you so much, Feng Yu -kun. Once this pill is mass-produced, the entire Demon Slayer Corps' strength will increase, and our chances of eradicating demons will rise," Shinobu said, bowing in gratitude.

"This is all your hard work. You don't need to thank me…" Feng Yu replied, feeling a bit embarrassed, as Shinobu had helped him a lot, and now here she was bowing to him.

"Feng Yu -kun, you're such a kind person…" Shinobu smiled at him.
