"Brother! You finally woke up!" Masaki threw himself onto the hospital bed and hugged Nobuhiko tightly.
Kanae showed a happy smile.
"Nobuhiko! It's great that you're awake!" Purgatory Anjuro smiled.
Immortal Sekawa Saneya on the side frowned and said in a deep voice: "You guy, even though you are a pillar, you have been slacking off and have been sleeping for two years! You are really derelict in your duty!"
"Amitabha."
"Nobuhiko can wake up magnificently, and we have another powerful helper!"
"Thank you, everyone." Nobuhiko patted Masaki's back gently, sat up from the hospital bed, looked at Ubuyashiki Yōya behind the crowd, and said respectfully: "My lord."
"Nobuhiko, how do you feel?" Uyashiki Yōya asked with concern.
Nobuhiko moved his hands and feet and felt that his whole body was full of power. Not only that, the chakra also increased several times.
It seems that during his coma, the breathing method maintained the [Full Concentration·Constant] state, which improved his strength a lot. Is this the so-called on-hook upgrade?
"I feel very good. I wonder how long I have been asleep?" Nobuhiko walked out of the hospital bed.
"Nobuhiko, you have been in a coma for nearly two years." Kanae replied.
"Two years? So long?"
Nobuhiko was slightly startled.
No wonder I feel that my strength has improved a lot, and according to normal practice, I'm afraid I haven't progressed so quickly.
Nobuhiko smacked his lips and felt a faint smell of blood in his mouth, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Kanae couldn't help but ask: "Nobuhiko, are you hungry?"
"A little bit." Nobuhiko nodded.
Zheng!
The sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed was heard, and everyone followed the sound, only to see Immortal Kawa Saneya pull out the Nichirin Sword and aim it at his arm.
"What are you doing?" Nobuhiko asked in surprise.
At this time, Kanae explained: "Nobuhiko, everyone already knows about your half-ghost body. Mr. Fusukawa has a thin-blood constitution. In order to wake you up early, he often feeds you blood, so... ....”
"It's just once in a while!" Before Kanae could finish her words, Immortal Kawa Saneya retorted.
"I just said that there is a bloody smell with the smell of sweat in my mouth. It turns out to be your blood!" Nobuhiko complained half-jokingly.
"Damn it! Don't be ignorant, you guy!" Immortal Sakawa Saneya yelled angrily, his eyes filled with red bloodshot eyes, and he added at the end, "I take a shower after training every day!"
"Pfft!"
A chuckle came from the side, and it turned out to be [Love Pillar] Kanroji Mitsuri who couldn't help laughing.
Seeing everyone looking at her, she suddenly turned red and covered her face.
At this time, another voice of suppressed laughter came from the side.
Seeing the Immortal River Saneya glaring at him, [Music Pillar] Usui Tianyuan raised his head slightly and said: "It seems that only Nobuhiko's words have such a gorgeous effect on the Immortal River!"
"Hahaha!" Purgatory Xingjuro laughed unabashedly.
Immortal Chuan Saneya's face turned like a cooked crab.
"Thank you, Saneya." This is the first time Nobuhiko calls him by his first name.
Afterwards, Nobuhiko continued: "Just prepare some animal blood for me. Shinobu should be able to do it! Then I'll trouble her."
Almost everyone present had an undying hatred for ghosts, and drinking human blood in public was still somewhat taboo.
Of course, the main reason is that Nobuhiko feels that he is in excellent physical condition now and there is no need to drink human blood. Moreover, the thin blood of Immortal Sakawa Saneya is not as powerful as Kanae's blood.
Nobuhiko was deeply impressed by the feeling of burning all over his body but full of infinite power last time.
"I understand, just wait!" The butterfly ninja at the outermost edge of the ward responded.
Compared to two years ago, her hair has grown much longer, and she still looks heroic, but her overall temperament has become much calmer, completely different from the way Kanae died in the original work.
But he hasn't grown at all, still about 1.5 meters tall.
Nobuhiko felt that Ubuya Shiki Yoya's breathing was gradually becoming labored in front of him. Knowing that he had stood for too long and his body could no longer bear it, he immediately said:
"I'm sorry, my lord, I'm rude."
"I feel relieved to see you are so energetic. In this case, let's continue with the meeting. This is your first time to participate in the Hashira Go meeting as a Hashira. Get ready." Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said with a smile. She walked out of the ward with the help of Utsuya Shiki Amane.
The pillars followed Yoya Shiki out of the ward one after another. Before leaving, Saneya Immortal glanced at Nobuhiko.
After a while, only Nobuhiko and Kanae were left in the ward. Looking at Nobuhiko who was only wearing hospital clothes, Kanae then remembered to put Nobuhiko into the Demon Slayer uniform. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Butterfly Ninja walked in holding a pile of clothes.
"Your previous uniform has been damaged. This is a new uniform made to your size, as well as a new haori."
The Butterfly Ninja put the clothes on the cabinet next to the bed. As he spoke, he opened his butterfly-patterned haori, revealing the three Nichirin swords worn on his waist.
She took off two of the Nichirin swords and put them on the bed. "These are your Nichirin swords. They have been kept by me. My sister must have forgotten these things due to her careless nature."
Although she still had a serious expression, she could tell from her tone that she was in a good mood.
Nobuhiko said: "Thank you."
"Shinobu is so thoughtful. She will definitely be a good wife in the future." Kanae looked at her sister with a face filled with relief.
"Sister, what are you talking about!" Butterfly Ninja quickly left the ward.
Kanae was smiling all over her face, and it wasn't until Nobuhiko picked up the clothes that she thought of leaving the ward.
During the process of changing clothes, Nobuhiko felt that his body was very clean and he did not need to take a shower. It seemed that someone was wiping his body regularly while he was unconscious.
After changing into his uniform and putting on the silver-white haori, Nobuhiko went to the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and found that his eyes had turned royal blue.
In fact, from what I just sensed, I can feel that the eyes of purity have been opened.
Focusing his attention, a dark blue attribute panel soon appeared in his sight.
[Eye Technique: Eye of Purity lv1]
[Physique: 2.87] [Strength: 2.82]
[Agility: 3.41] [Spirit: 5.43]
[Potential Points: 2459]
"After killing Tong Mo, the potential points increased by two thousand. Doesn't that mean..." Looking at the remaining potential points, Nobuhiko's face darkened.
Based on previous experience, killing a weak ghost that has just turned into a ghost will not increase the potential points, but killing a ghost like the one imprisoned in the Tengxi Mountain that has eaten one or two people will increase the potential points by about 1 point, or It's 2 o'clock.
As for the ghost that eats dozens of people, it can increase by about 100 points, such as the strongest hand ghost in Fujisui Mountain.
Based on this calculation, Tong Mo ate at least hundreds, or even thousands of people.
Other strings may not be much less stringy than Tongmo.
Theoretically, killing all of them would give him tens of thousands of potential points.
As for the Ghost King Wumei, he has lived for more than a thousand years, and probably countless humans have died under his hands.
After all, just like a normal person doesn't remember how many slices of bread he has eaten.
Wu Ke is constantly trampling on life.
"Looks like I have to ask Wuhan to bask in the sun..." Nobuhiko thought to himself, touching the circular scar on his neck, thinking of what happened in the battle with Tong Mo.
Kanae's blood, and the last appearance of the crow.
There seemed to be a ball of flame integrated into his body.
"It seems we can step up our ghost hunting pace!"
After two years of idle upgrades, Nobuhiko's basic attributes have been greatly improved. If he was able to beat Tong Mo before because of luck, strength, and special preparations in advance, now he can win against Tong Mo.
It's just the Black Death Mou and the Ghost King Wumei in the first string. They haven't been beaten yet, so it's not clear yet.
Instead, he could compete again with the strongest [Rock Pillar] Mingyu Xingming in the team to try his current level.
...
After finishing, Nobuhiko followed Kanae to the main house.
Ubuyashiki Yōya and the other pillars are waiting.
"My lord." Nobuhiko bowed slightly.
Ubuyashiki Yōya nodded.
Purgatory Anjojuro and Immortal Kawa Minya moved their bodies to both sides to make room for the middle position. Seeing this, Nobuhiko naturally sat between them.
"Nobuhiko, everyone is waiting for you to explain what happened that night. What is the strength of the ghost on the string?" Purgatory Anjuro asked.
Everyone looked at Nobuhiko, because none of the pillars of this generation had ever encountered the Oni.
Almost all the pillars who encountered the Winding Ghost in the previous generation were killed. Only the Eagle Crow could watch the battle from a distance and send back brief information.
"Shang Xian Zhi Er is very powerful! His blood ghost technique contains poison, and it will release large ice crystals, mixing the poison into it.
Even if you hold your breath, toxins will enter the body from the skin, making it impossible to prevent them.
But because I learned how to make poison from Shinobu at Butterfly House, I have a high resistance to poison.
The main reason why he was able to defeat the Two Winds that night was because of Kanae's blood. "
Nobuhiko briefly explained.
"Toxic!?"
Everyone's expressions changed. No matter how strong the Demon Slayer's pillars were, they were still in the category of humans, and poison was the most restrained form of humans.
Especially according to Nobuhiko, the vampire technique of Shangxian II is very difficult to deal with.
However, the butterfly ninja's poison-making skills can actually compete with the Oni, which is very powerful.
"Although saying this affects morale, I have to say that if I were not lucky that day, the best result would be that I took Kanae until dawn.
Except for Mr. Mingmingyu, the other members of the team would be hard-pressed to defeat Shangxian II even if two pillars teamed up. "Nobuhiko continued.
Everyone's hearts are a little heavy.
However, he did not doubt the authenticity of what Nobuhiko said.
Among the Nine Pillars of the previous generation, only [Water Pillar] Hinataki Sakonji, [Sound Pillar] Kuwashima Jigoro, and [Fire Pillar] Purgatory Makijuro survived.
This is already the highest survival rate in the history of Nine Pillars.
[Narubashira] During a mission when he was 35 years old, Morishima Jigoro encountered a group of jade pots at dawn. As a result, one of his legs was broken shortly after the battle did not last long.
Although it was because Jigoro Kuwashima consumed too much energy in the battle that he was easily defeated by the Uezo no Ue, even if he was in good condition, he would not be a match for the Ue Ue Sōri.
From then on, Kuwashima Jigoro took a back seat and began to serve as a trainer.
Morishima Jigoro is already one of the strongest among the Nine Pillars of the previous generation.
This generation of pillars is the generation with the highest quality since the Warring States Period. However, among the eleven pillars present, not all of them dare to say that they can be better than their predecessor [Ming Zhu].
Kanae explained: "Although the ghosts we encountered before were also able to use the poisonous blood ghost technique, they were completely incomparable to the second one.
His vampiric toxin can freeze the lungs and cause death from respiratory failure.
If Nobuhiko hadn't arrived in time, I would have died long ago.
Moreover, at the beginning, he did not use all his strength in Winding Two, but fought with a game mentality.
I think he only used his full strength in the fight with Nobuhiko at the last moment. "
"Actually, the reason why I can withstand the blood ghost technique of Shang Xian II is because of my half-ghost body, in addition to my poison resistance.
Strictly speaking, my physical changes have begun to develop in completely different directions than that of a ghost!
A special power developed in my body, which I named Chakra. "Nobuhiko said.
Purgatory Anjuro asked: "Chakra? I don't understand. Is it a vampire technique?"
"I don't know. After I became a half-ghost, I didn't have the ability to do vampire magic. This may be why I basically don't need human blood to survive.
I can condense chakra seeds in my body, and this chakra seed can be shared with other people, and it can also become stronger through practice!
After possessing chakra, speed, strength, and recovery will be greatly enhanced. "
Nobuhiko finally guided the topic to chakra.
Everyone was also very interested in his words.
"Chakra actually has such a powerful effect?!"
"There won't be any unpredictable side effects, right?"
“Can it really be promoted?”
"If chakra can be promoted within the Demon Slayer Corps, the strength of the swordsmen will be greatly enhanced, and there will be a better chance of winning against ghosts in the future." Ubuyashiki Yoshiya affirmed, he completely trusted Nobuhiko.
"As for the side effects, it will depress cell activity and shorten lifespan." Nobuhiko explained: "However, although chakra seeds can be shared with many people, if they are scattered too much, it will affect my strength.
And only those with strong enough talent can increase chakra rapidly. My suggestion is to promote it among pillar-level members, and then share it with level-A and level-B members depending on the situation. "
As he said that, Nobuhiko looked at Masaki, "My sister Masaki got my seeds two years ago. It should have taken root and sprouted now and become very strong."
In Nobuhiko's perception, Masaki's chakra is at least at the level of a regular jounin.
On the one hand, the chakra seeds he gave were powerful, and more importantly, Masaki's talent was strong enough.
"Yes, brother, my chakra is about ten times stronger than before!" Zhen Shi nodded.
The people present couldn't help but think, if chakra only has the side effect of shortening lifespan, then it means there are no side effects at all.
Few pillar-level swordsmen in the past can live to be 30 years old, because in the process of hunting ghosts again and again, they always rush to the front to deal with the strongest ghosts, and many of them died in the battle.
If chakra can greatly enhance their strength, they may be able to live longer and serve the Demon Slayer Corps for a longer period of time.
Nobuhiko looked at Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, and after getting his approval, he looked at Masashi, "Let Masashi demonstrate the power of chakra to everyone."
Masaki stood up, opened the wooden door of the room, and took out the pure white Nichirin sword from his waist.
After developing the 'Arashi Breathing Technique', she replaced it with a new Nichirin Sword.
【Lan's Breathing Technique·One Type of Aurora】
The Nichirin Sword in Maoshan's hand was aimed at the big tree in the center of the yard, and a white light as thick as a thumb flew rapidly, hitting the big tree and piercing it.
"This is the power of sword skills without the use of chakra." Masaki turned around and explained to everyone.
Then he put the Nichirin Sword back into its scabbard.
Crackling!
This time, a ball of blue-white chakra with the sound of thunder gathered in her palm.
Zheng!
The Nichirin Sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and the entire blade was completely blurred in the blue-white electric light.
laugh!
A laser-like blue-white sword light shot out.
boom!
The thick tree in the yard was blown to pieces, sawdust flying all over the sky, raising clouds of smoke and dust, and leaving a large hole with a diameter of more than three meters in the ground.
Nobuhiko's expression was stagnant, and he looked at Masaki with a confused expression.
I'm asking you to demonstrate it, not to demolish the house.
What's wrong with big trees?
Masaki blinked and looked at Nobuhiko innocently.
In order to prove the truth of what her brother said, she tried her best.
"Enemy attack?!"
"Protect your lord quickly!"
The swordsmen who were guarding the main house came to the backyard one after another.
Then, after Ubuyashiki Yōya's explanation, he left the backyard.
"Is this the power of chakra!"
Everyone in the field looked at the big pit in the yard with shock on their faces.
Masaki became an official member of the Demon Slayer Corps at the age of ten, and was promoted to [Arashibashira] at the age of twelve. In addition to Muichiro Tokiro who became [Kasumiashira] just two months after joining the Demon Slayer Corps, he can be said to be the youngest member of the Demon Slayer Corps. A pillar-level swordsman, it seems that her strength is at the forefront among the current pillars.
And when she first joined the Demon Slayer Squad, she wasn't very strong.
One can imagine how powerful chakra is.
"My lord, I agree to promote chakra among pillar-level swordsmen, and I am willing to be the first to be planted by Nobuhiko." Kanae spoke first.
"I agree too! This move can greatly enhance the combat power of the Demon Slayer Squad." Purgatory Anjuro said loudly.
"As long as I can exterminate all evil spirits, I'm willing to do anything." Immortal Kawa Saneya said with a solemn face.
"agree."
"I also agree gorgeously!"
...
In the end, the vote was unanimous, except for Muichiro Tokitou who did not express his position because he had spent most of his time in a daze since he lost his memory.
However, his lack of objection meant that he agreed.
"Then who comes first?! You can start now." Nobuhiko couldn't help but ask.
At this time, Immortal Kawakawa Saneya on the side moved his body and was about to step forward, but Kanae was one step faster.
"I'll go first!"
Kanae came to sit in front of Nobuhiko.
"Come closer." Nobuhiko reminded him, looking at Kanae's soft face.
Kanae came closer again, looking at Nobuhiko's handsome face so close, her eyes suddenly dodge, and her cheeks turned slightly red.
"..." Seeing Kanae's face so close that he almost kissed her, Nobuhiko wanted to tell her that she didn't need to be so close, but when he saw her face, he stopped talking.
The scent lingering on the tip of my nose is that of a girl.
Nobuhiko put his hand on Kanae's belly and rubbed it twice.
Chanel Wheaton felt a powerful heat flow into her lower abdomen, and then spread throughout her body.
Remember the path this heat takes, this is the running path.
"Um."
Kanae nodded.
"Next person."
Next, it’s Purgatory Anjuro, and then to Immortal Kawa Saneya.
When it was [Love Pillar] Kanroji Mitsuri's turn, her cheeks turned red and she looked very reserved.
Nobuhiko then said: "Don't be nervous, it's okay to plant chakra from your back!"
With that said, Nobuhiko put his hand on Kanroji Mitsuri's back and channeled chakra into it.
Seeing this, Kanae lowered her head.
Soon, everyone had completed their chakra vaccination.
...
In the next few months, the strength of everyone in the Demon Slayer Team has improved significantly.
Especially [Rock Pillar] Wei Ming Yu Xing Ming, whose body has completely reached its peak, has also become stronger.
Nobuhiko, who has been practicing at the headquarters, finally received a new mission.
He was ordered to go to the deep mountains in the south with [Water Pillar] Tomioka Giyu and [Arashi Pillar] Masaki.
