Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 326

So strong!

They're much stronger than when we fought before!

Kanao stomped her foot, and her short, slender figure rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed.

Tanjiro dodged to the side, then immediately stood up with his sword in hand, his expression turning unusually serious as he looked at Kanao.

Is that so...

Not only am I gradually getting stronger, but this child is also slowly getting stronger...

boom!

The wooden swords in their hands clashed, producing a dull thud.

Tanjiro's eyes were fixed on him, completely absorbed in battle.

Complete Collection of Breathing Techniques - Changzhong!

Breathing of Water - Fourth Form.

Hit Tide!

He launched a series of attacks at Kanao with his wooden sword, like a tidal wave.

Kanao is as light as a falling petal, constantly shimmering in the tidal wave of attacks, and she will fight back.

The fight between the two was quite intense.

On the other hand, look at Inosuke and Zenitsu.

The two ran at full speed, racing each other, sweating profusely, constantly chanting, "Meat, meat, meat, meat!!"

"My, my, my, my, my!!!"

Sometimes Zenitsu was in front, and sometimes Inosuke was in front.

After slicing a few perfectly grilled ribs, Ron sat back down in the chair under the cherry blossom tree, picked up a book, and started reading. He would occasionally eat a piece of rib, sip some wine, and offer a reminder now and then.

"Zenitsu Gasai, slow down your breathing rhythm a little, and try to concentrate your strength in your steps."

"Inosuke Hashibira, you don't want to lose to Zenitsu, do you? Push your abdominal muscles harder and exhale all the air."

"Breathing techniques are simply methods of circulating qi and blood. Try to feel the qi and blood in your body, and then use your breath to control it."

Upon hearing his words, the two, drenched in sweat and running at full speed, unconsciously adjusted their breathing and immediately sensed a difference.

After a brief period of pain, the chest cavity seemed to expand, able to hold more air, and the muscles that were originally sore and tense also relaxed a bit due to the flow of blood and qi.

…………

Dusk.

The sky was ablaze with crimson clouds.

"Hoohoohoo."

The three men, soaked in sweat, lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Ron walked up to the three of them, looking down at them with a hint of a smile in his azure eyes.

"how do you feel?"

"I...I can't even lift a single finger anymore..."

Shan Yi was exhausted.

"My chest feels like it's burning up..."

Wearing a boar head mask, Inosuke was also weak and listless.

Tanjiro was in slightly better shape than the other two, but he was still sore all over.

"Ha ha"

Ron smiled and took a sip of his drink: "Take a break, then get up and eat some meat."

Zenitsu closed his eyes: "I... I don't have the strength to eat meat anymore... I just want to get some sleep."

"Meat...I want to eat meat..."

Inosuke struggled to sit up from the ground, dragging his exhausted body, and staggered toward the grilled meat.

"Then I too..."

Tanjiro, whose stomach was already growling with hunger, got up and followed along, swaying unsteadily.

The two of them started tearing and biting into the meat right off the grill.

"delicious!"

"Seriously! This is the first time I've ever eaten such delicious food. It's a hundred times better than rice balls!"

Tanjiro ate the meat with gusto, tears streaming down his face from the deliciousness of it.

Listen to the sounds of the two people tearing and chewing.

Zenitsu, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed like a lump of mud, couldn't help but swallow.

"That grilled pork rib is made with special meat, which you can't usually get to eat. It can help people restore their strength and replenish their blood. Are you sure you want to rest here? If you don't go soon, those two will finish it."

Ron smiled at Zenitsu, who was lying on the ground.

Zenitsu could no longer bear it upon hearing this.

"You two—! Leave some for me!"

He stood up and lunged towards that direction.

The moment he took a bite of the grilled meat, large tears involuntarily streamed down Zenitsu's face.

"It was worth it...it was all worth it."

The three of them ate the meat heartily.

Ron bent down and picked up a twig, playing with it in his hand. The twisting force acted on the twig, and it instantly became bent like a spring. When the twisting force dissipated, the twig became straight again.

"With today's training, the two of you will be able to master the breathing technique of full concentration in three or four days."

Zenitsu froze upon hearing this: "Eh?! This kind of deadly training is going to continue for three more days?! People could really die!"

"If you want to be completely left behind by Tanjiro, then you can pretend I didn't say anything."

"Uh……"

While Zenitsu was still hesitating.

Inosuke shouted, "Ahhh—don't underestimate me! Who would lose to Tanjiro! I am Inosuke, nothing can stump me!"

Just now.

The gate was pushed open.

Tanjiro turned his head to look.

Upon seeing Giyu Tomioka standing at the door, he was taken aback for a moment, then his face lit up with surprise: "Mr. Tomioka?!"

Giyu Tomioka nodded to him, his face expressionless, then looked at Ron:

"I'm going on a mission tomorrow, are you free today?"

Ron immediately noticed the two flasks in his right hand, and remembering what happened yesterday, he couldn't help but smile:

"You've come to invite me for a drink?"

"Yes, it's a return gift from yesterday."

"Haha, I think you're trying to save face, okay?"

Ron smiled and walked toward him.

Just as the two were about to leave the courtyard.

Ron glanced at the three people in the courtyard: "If you want to come again, come here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he left with Giyu Tomioka.

The three were left stunned.

Tanjiro was slightly surprised: "Mr. Ron and Mr. Tomioka know each other? I had no idea."

"Was that a water jet just now?"

Zenitsu exclaimed in surprise, "He's actually so familiar with that supposedly cold and ruthless water column."

Zenitsu looked at Tanjiro and asked, "Tanjiro, who exactly is that person? Come to think of it... he wasn't even wearing a Demon Slayer Corps uniform, is he really a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Faced with his question.

Tanjiro scratched his cheek: "I'm not really sure either, but Mr. Ron shouldn't be a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. I only know that Mr. Ron knows a lot of things, is a very good person, and is also very powerful. Even the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, seems to be asking him for swordsmanship advice."

"Even that Insect Pillar is asking him for swordsmanship advice..."

Zenitsu's eyes widened.

Just how strong is that person?
