Demon Slayer: Strength Gained with Every Swing of the Sword

Feng Yu looked at Xi Gong, who was crying, with a slight expression of guilt.

"Please stop crying for now..."

Feng Yu wanted to reach out and pat Xi Gong's head, but his hand hovered in mid-air, not coming down.

"Sorry, I didn't know that was your father. I never expected this to happen..."

Feng Yu didn't say anything else, just quietly staying by Xi Gong's side.

"Did... did Xi Gong's father get killed by a Demon after I left last night...?"

"But I didn't sense anything..."

"My lack of sensing ability is really frustrating..."

Feng Yu once again felt powerless for not having any perception skills.

"Master... I think I can help you..."

Xiao Bai, who was standing nearby, noticed Feng Yu's downcast mood and spoke up.

"Hmm? Xiao Bai, you said you can help me?"

Feng Yu immediately responded.

"Yes, Master. Actually, I noticed something unusual last night... but I didn't realize it was a Demon ... I thought it was something else..."

"Sorry, Master..."

Xiao Bai's apologetic voice echoed in Feng Yu's mind.

"Wait, Xiao Bai, you said you sensed something unusual last night?"

"Yes, Master..."

Feng Yu was a bit stunned. He hadn't expected Xiao Bai to have such an ability.

At that moment, he regretted not understanding his pet better.

"Xiao Bai, when did you start having this ability?"

Feng Yu asked.

"Well, Master, I'm not exactly sure... It seems like the more I understood the breathing technique in my mind, the more this ability developed..."

Xiao Bai replied.

"I see..."

Feng Yu then shifted his gaze to Xiao Bai's attribute panel.

Name: Xiao Bai

Species: White Fox

Divinity Value: 0.00000007

Owner: Feng Yu

Cultivation Method: Beast Breathing Technique (Refined)

Awakened Powers: Telekinesis, Charm, Shape-shifting Control

Description: Originally just a normal white fox, but has gained a touch of divinity.

"So Xiao Bai's breathing technique has reached a masterful level... I've been limiting my thoughts all this time... I only ever saw Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei as pets, never thinking about how they might help me..."

"Enhance!"

In an instant, Xiao Bai's breathing technique reached its highest level.

Meanwhile, Feng Yu's sword swings were reduced by two million.

Looking at the remaining sword swings on his panel, which were just under three million, Feng Yu made up his mind and pressed the "Enhance" button on his panel.

"Enhance!"

"Enhance!"

At once, a vast amount of knowledge flooded into Feng Yu's mind.

Feng Yu felt as if his head was swelling.

Then, there was an explosion.

"What...?"

Feng Yu was overjoyed.

The scene before him shocked him deeply.

Within a radius of 500 meters, Feng Yu could now see everything—from the ants moving in the dark corners to all the small events happening around him.

"Incredible..."

As Feng Yu felt everything within a 500-meter radius, it was so overwhelming that he almost lost his balance.

He staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

"This is... I feel so heavy-headed..."

Feng Yu knew this was the result of overusing his mental energy.

"I didn't even last three minutes..."

And then, he passed out.

Xiao Bai hurried forward to protect Feng Yu.

If Feng Yu had woken up to see Xiao Bai in this state, he would have been shocked.

Because at that moment, Xiao Bai had two white tails swaying behind her.

...

"What happened to me?"

Feng Yu woke from his sleep.

"My head hurts so much..."

Feng Yu held his head in pain and groaned.

After a little while, he started to remember what had happened.

"I think... I remember I..."

"So overusing mental energy causes this kind of thing..."

Feng Yu said with lingering fear.

"This technique can only be used in desperate situations. Otherwise, I'll collapse before the enemy does..."

"Master! You're finally awake!"

Feng Yu looked up, and in front of him was Xiao Bai, with two tails swaying back and forth.

"Am I seeing things? Why does Xiao Bai have two tails now?"

Feng Yu rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Master, I don't know what happened either. I suddenly gained a higher understanding of the breathing technique, and then my body got really hot, and that tail just appeared..."

Xiao Bai explained.

Feng Yu picked up Xiao Bai and held her close, carefully inspecting her.

"Why does it look more and more like the legendary Nine-Tailed Fox..."

"Shocking! My Xiao Bai is actually the legendary divine beast, the Nine-Tailed Fox!"

A thought suddenly popped into Feng Yu's mind.

"What if Xiao Hei's breathing technique reaches the highest level... could it turn into the legendary Three-Legged Golden Crow?"

The corner of Feng Yu's mouth twitched, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Meanwhile, Xiao Hei, who had already left Feng Yu and was snuggling with a female crow elsewhere, suddenly shivered.

"Who! Who's cursing me!? Don't think I won't curse you back!"

Xiao Hei shouted, scaring the female crow next to her.

...

On the other side, Feng Yu quickly accepted Xiao Bai's transformation, after all, she was his pet.

And now, Xiao Bai could be of real help.

But it was unfortunate that his sword swing count had been reset to zero.

"Sigh... these poor days are hard to get through..."

"But once I finish this mission, I'll probably get rich again..."

Feng Yu looked at the rewards from completing the Demon Slayer Corp's mission three times and couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

"Tonight, I'm going to find that Demon and make up for my lost sword swings!"

Feng Yu thought to himself.
