Chapter 146 Diverse Breathing Techniques
After a series of "enticements," our little angel Tanjiro was still fooled by Li Muyang.
There was nothing I could do; Teacher Li gave me too much!
Guiding Tanjiro in his training is one thing, but helping Nezuko overcome her weakness to sunlight is something Tanjiro simply couldn't refuse! Even if he didn't consider himself, he had to consider Nezuko!
Seeing that Tanjiro had agreed, everyone smiled with satisfaction! Everyone was very pleased!
At this moment, Urokodaki Sakonji looked at Li Muyang, who still had his markings activated, and asked, "Mr. Li, as far as I know, activating markings puts a great burden on the user. How do you feel now that you've activated them?"
Li Muyang silently closed the mark and the transparent world, which greatly shocked Urokodaki Sakonji! As expected of you! You can even do something like this?
"That's why I haven't taught the Demon Slayer Mark to other Demon Slayer Corps members. For this reason, I also had to completely hide the mark's aura, because I didn't want others to activate their marks and the Transparent World before I figured out a solution to the burden problem. I can handle it, but they might not!" Li Muyang explained very calmly.
"Currently, the methods I use to shut down the markings and the transparent world are only available to me and cannot be mastered by others. I have not yet made any breakthroughs in this area during this period of time."
Urokodaki Sakonji exclaimed with admiration, "Mr. Li truly has the heart of a benevolent doctor!"
The old man completely believed these words. Although they hadn't met often and weren't familiar with each other, he had heard a lot about Li Muyang from his disciples. This mysterious doctor from the Central Plains had devoted himself to the Demon Slayer Corps!
At least his disciple, Tomioka Giyuu, was within the scope of Li Muyang's teaching and treatment!
What evil intentions could someone who diligently helps the Demon Slayer Corps members improve their meals, strengthen their bodies, and refine their breathing techniques, hoping that everyone can live peacefully?
It is precisely because of Li Muyang's existence that the Demon Slayer Corps' record may not be that impressive, but at least in terms of personnel attrition, it can be said to have dropped to the lowest level in history!
Based on this performance alone, he's a real doctor!
Li Muyang (￣ェ￣；): Although he is a veterinarian.
And so, the group stayed temporarily near Urokodaki Sakonji's house. As for accommodation, with the Calabash World around, it wasn't a problem at all. Li Muyang moved out of the house that the system had given him earlier and used it as a temporary residence.
This unconventional method also greatly shocked Tanjiro and Sakonji's worldview. They only knew that such unscientific methods were used by demon geniuses.
It's quite obvious, however, that Li Muyang is not a ghost.
In the days that followed, Li Muyang not only taught Tanjiro how to train and how to be a person, but also how to read... Li Muyang never imagined that he, a Chinese, would have the chance to teach a Japanese person to read!
It's not even Chinese, it's Japanese!
In fact, Urokodaki Sakonji also taught, but his level of education was not very high.
The main purpose is still to read classic texts, but teaching and nurturing students is definitely essential; these are necessary pieces that influence one's character and state of mind! Li Muyang takes the concept of "teaching and nurturing students" seriously! The emphasis is on nurturing students!
Tanjiro complained bitterly about this, but he never gave up. He knew that it was not easy for him to meet a teacher!
Well, Li Muyang's demands weren't high; at the very least, Tanjiro needed to be freed from illiteracy! He absolutely could not accept having an illiterate disciple who couldn't read a single word!
This is also why we don't teach Chinese. Firstly, it's unlikely to be useful for Tanjiro. The Central Plains of this world are sealed off, and who knows what the situation is like inside? Even if we told Li Muyang that the entire Central Plains is gone, he wouldn't be surprised at all.
Secondly, Tanjiro didn't have that much energy to study.
Her main focus was still on teaching Tanjiro to become stronger.
To be fair, Tanjiro is indeed not very suitable for Urokodaki Sakonji's Water Breathing, but for Li Muyang, it doesn't matter which breathing method Tanjiro practices. He only needs to learn by analogy to quickly learn Sun Breathing, which is Tanjiro's true path.
However, Tanjiro prefers to inherit Urokodaki's methods, and Li Muyang naturally has no objection to this. Simple! Since you are not suitable for Urokodaki Sakonji's Water Breathing, but you still want to inherit his Water Breathing, then research a Water Breathing method that suits you!
Well, the Tokito brothers, Kanroji Mitsuri, and even the trio, all practice extended versions of the five basic breathing techniques: fire, lightning, water, earth, and wind. Li Muyang's attitude has always been to teach according to aptitude; only what suits oneself is the best!
It's just a matter of improving the water's breathing; it's easy!
Before long, the improved version of the Boiling Breathing Technique was freshly created!
As you can guess from the name, the new breathing technique is related to steam and water mist, and it combines some characteristics of both water breathing and fire breathing! It has also developed new properties!
The slash is accompanied by high-temperature steam! It increases speed and power, making up for the lack of destructive power of the Water Breathing technique, and can also create a vision obstruction similar to the Mist Breathing technique.
If Tanjiro hadn't been so adamant, Li Muyang would have wanted him to add some wisteria poison to the steam to make it even more effective at killing demons!
Too gloomy, too babyish!
Tanjiro, Bai Yuxiu, and Feng Ling'er called out.
Only Urokodaki Sakonji exclaimed, "Mr. Li, you are truly a genius!"
Well, Li Muyang also referenced the Boiling Release technique from the ninja world to create this: Boiling Breathing Technique.
The characteristics of Water Breathing are gentleness and agility, making it suitable for calm, steady, kind, and gentle people to practice. Tanjiro is indeed quite kind and gentle, but the problem is that he can't calm down! Strictly speaking, his personality is similar to a little sun, belonging to the cheerful type. Perhaps letting him directly practice Flame Breathing would be quite good.
Moreover, based on Li Muyang's understanding and research on breathing techniques, the strength of Water Breathing lies in defense and protection, and it can be said that the six dimensions are quite balanced. Therefore, it has lost its particularly strong aspect, and its offensive effect is really not as good as the other basic breathing techniques.
Of the five basic breathing techniques, Tanjiro insisted on learning the one least suitable for him.
There's nothing I can do. If the student is interested, the teacher should do their best to teach them! We'll talk about it again if things really don't work out!
There are actually other ways to increase the attack power of Water Breathing, and there have even been successful cases. However, the methods are not suitable for Tanjiro, so Li Muyang created this Boiling Breathing technique.
This is not the breathing technique of Boiling Sheep!
Yes, this success story is right here in the trio.
Feng Feifei, a seemingly ordinary girl in every way, managed to develop the Ice Breathing technique, which wasn't in the original storyline. It's undeniable that she has extraordinary talent!
Ahem, getting back to the main topic, now is not the time to introduce the trio, Tanjiro's training is more important!
With the Boiling Breathing technique, Tanjiro's desire to practice Water Breathing was fulfilled, and a path more suitable for him was found. It is believed that Tanjiro's training will become smoother in the future. Most importantly, Li Muyang has finally successfully researched and replicated Sun Breathing!
Although only the first eleven types are available.
According to records, there are thirteen types of Sun Breathing.
The twelfth type is called Flame Dance, which is equivalent to the first type, an advanced version of Round Dance. It can also be said to be able to perform Round Dance twice in an instant, so there is naturally no need to replicate it.
Type Thirteen... Li Muyang still says the same thing: what suits you best is the best.
If the breathing method is correct, the first twelve forms of Sun Breathing can be performed continuously without any delay, which is theoretically the thirteenth form of Sun Breathing.
But for Li Muyang, that's not enough. He can do that now, but the destructive power is just so-so. In fact, Li Muyang is confident that he has surpassed Yoriichi Tsugikuni's strongest period when he uses the Breath of the Sun.
That's normal. He's a Golden Core cultivator, carrying so many advantages! If he's still not as strong as Yoriichi Tsugikuni, then it's Li Muyang's own problem! He just hasn't worked hard enough!
Therefore, Li Muyang naturally wanted to pursue an even stronger version of Sun Breathing! To develop his own thirteenth form!
Seeing that Li Muyang was already so strong yet still striving to improve, Tanjiro was greatly motivated and trained even harder!
They're already so strong and they haven't slowed down yet. How can I, burdened with a blood feud, stop?
This left Old Master Urokodaki Sakonji deeply moved, realizing he was indeed getting old! To witness the growth of such a powerful figure in his lifetime made his life worthwhile!
Perhaps he didn't think before that Li Muyang and his group were stronger than Yoriichi Tsugikuni, but now he has to admit that this young man from the Central Plains may have already surpassed Yoriichi Tsugikuni back then!
Is this the mysterious East?
Secondly, Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er are also cultivating in an orderly manner. In terms of Qi Refining and Foundation Building, their basics are almost there. They only need to follow their daily cultivation routine. They have also begun to prepare for condensing their Golden Core.
Unfortunately, just like Li Muyang back then, the two of them are now completely bewildered and confused.
Even the highest level of martial arts skill is of no use.
However, because Li Muyang learned the Sun Breathing technique and had the Sun Breathing technique as a reference, Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er improved their breathing methods through their research and formed a new breathing method. Their progress in this area was rapid!
The two women's breathing method was originally similar to integrating several basic breathing methods, taking the best of each and making up for the worst, but it always felt like something was missing. Now that they have the Sun Breathing as a reference, the effect is immediately apparent!
Based on the characteristics of the two women's breathing techniques, Bai Yuxiu's breathing technique was named Ether Breathing Technique, and Feng Ling'er's breathing technique was named Storm Breathing Technique.
It's no wonder they're bad at naming things. Li Muyang spent a long time researching, but Bai Yuxiu herself still couldn't figure out why a dual-form mode would appear, one light and one dark.
After much research, I finally came up with an etheric breathing method.
Wind Chime is simple; it combines speed, attack, and agility, and also possesses the power of water, wind, and thunder.
