Demon Slayer: Strength Gained with Every Swing of the Sword

Feng Yu's promotion to the tenth Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps brought mixed reactions—some rejoiced, while others seethed with anger.

The happy ones were those who had always been on good terms with him, while the angry ones were a few of the other Hashira who had looked down on him, such as the Wind Hashira and the Snake Hashira.

However, despite their anger, none of them would take actions to harm him—this was the responsibility of being a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Most of the Demon Slayer members who hadn't heard of Feng Yu viewed the news with curiosity, eager to see the true face of the new leader.

"Do you know what the new Light Hashira looks like?" one asked.

"Who should I ask? I don't know either," came the reply.

"I know! I know what the Light Hashira looks like..."

For the next month, members of the Demon Slayer Corps largely discussed who the new Light Hashira was.

At that moment, Feng Yu, the one who had caused all this commotion, sat comfortably on Xiao Hei's back, contemplating how to train and improve his strength in the coming days.

"With my current power, it's hard to reach a higher level..." Feng Yu mused.

"But I have a system, so my power will grow faster than most."

"My breathing technique is nearing its limits—Water Breathing feels nearly saturated with no more room for improvement. That leaves Light Breathing, but Light Breathing can't be mastered overnight."

"Then there's unlocking the pattern, the Heart Sword, and the ultimate buff—Transcendent World..."

"Lastly, there's the system..."

Feng Yu listed out the ways in which he could improve his strength.

"Light Breathing can't be rushed. I have an ageless body, so the 25-year limit that typically restricts unlocking the pattern doesn't apply to me. The Heart Sword and Transcendent World are tougher—they push the limits of the body..."

"As per the original, only Kokushibo has unlocked Transcendent World. The main trio has yet to grow, and the plot hasn't advanced enough for me to see examples of either Transcendent World or the Heart Sword."

"Perhaps Transcendent World is a higher level of mental power..."

"Finally, there's the system's simulations and synthesis function..."

"After completing the Hashira mission, another disciple-taking task came up, but this one isn't easy to finish. I'll need to find some geniuses…" Feng Yu lamented. Unlike his previous missions, where everything was completed in one go, these new tasks seemed more continuous.

"I really don't like training games…" Feng Yu sighed.

He then retrieved a task reward from the system: the "Death Doll."

"This is my second life. If I could mass-produce these, that would be great…" Feng Yu mused, feeling the rarity of such items. If he had more, he could very well stand before Muzan Kibutsuji and say: "What do you think life is?"

"Finally, the legendary quality refresh in the Universal Mall!" Feng Yu's heart raced, even though it was expensive, it was definitely worth the price.

He opened the system, greeted by blinding golden light.

But this time, it was a ball of golden gas.

Aura: Only those who have mastered extreme martial arts can understand and wear this aura. It increases personal charm and amplifies in battle according to the wearer's willpower.

"I suspect the system has been spying on me. Whatever I lack, it seems to give me…" Feng Yu thought, clicking to purchase without hesitation. Instantly, his Sword Strikes dropped by 5 million.

"System prompt: Do you wish to bind the Aura?"

"Of course!" Feng Yu responded.

In that moment, Feng Yu felt all his attributes double.

"Xiao Hei, do you see the river ahead? Drop there."

Though confused, Xiao Hei did as told.

At first, Xiao Hei thought Feng Yu was about to do something, but instead, they stopped by the river, gazing at their reflection.

"Emmm, I really did get handsomer..." Feng Yu said, touching his face.

"Now for the pet skill…" Feng Yu continued.

Sunlight Blaze: Gathers energy to release a ray of light with the burning effect of the sun.

"System, are you trying to outdo yourself? Giving such a skill to Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei? Is this to make them capable of killing demons too?" Feng Yu remarked.

"Which one should I give it to?" Feng Yu pondered, switching his gaze between Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei.

"Xiao Bai already has awakened skills... Xiao Hei could really use this to compensate for its shortcomings, but…" Feng Yu paused, looking at Xiao Hei's playful, husky-like demeanor, and immediately reconsidered.

"Well, since I'm training both, fair treatment it is..."

"Xiao Hei, come here!" Feng Yu called out.

Excited, Xiao Hei flew to the Feng Yu happily.

"Master, what's up?" Xiao Hei asked, tilting its head.

Without saying a word, Feng Yu placed the 5 million Sword Strikes on Xiao Hei's head, which gradually melted into the pet.

A while later, Xiao Hei's eyes glowed red. "Master, I learned it."

Then, it shot a beam of light toward the distance, destroying a large tree with a loud crash. The burnt smell filled the air.

"Impressive. The power of the legendary gold…" Feng Yu marveled.

With the resources now allocated, it was time to focus on completing the disciple task!

Feng Yu once again set off towards Sagiri Mountain.
