“Sun Breathing, Second Form: Clear Blue Sky.”
Ryo held his nichirin blade with both hands and slashed with great force, unleashing a strike like a burst of flame.
A Breathing Technique combined with a nichirin blade is what truly makes a complete Breathing Technique swordsman.
As he breathed, a special energy seemed to be drawn from within the nichirin blade, amplifying the power of his swordsmanship.
Unfortunately, this was not Ryo’s own nichirin blade.
nichirin blades bind to their wielder, changing color based on the first swordsman to grasp them.
The colors they change to possess different characteristics.
For instance, the nichirin blade he was using belonged to Sakonji Urokodaki.
Its blade was blue, which was somewhat in conflict with the attributes of Sun Breathing.
“Is this Sun Breathing?”
Sakonji Urokodaki was the one sparring with Ryo.
He dodged Ryo’s full-power strike but could still feel the scorching heat wave approaching.
It was truly an astonishingly powerful blow.
Secretary Fujiwara, looking bored, rested her face in her hands, watching Ryo and Sakonji Urokodaki’s sparring session with Nezuko.
She liked hardworking boys, but she didn’t like fighting.
She disliked fighting and practicing martial arts.
Unless it was something like Hinokami Kagura.
Thinking back to that dance practice in the snow, Secretary Fujiwara’s cheeks flushed slightly.
Unfortunately, Ryo started cultivating as soon as he woke up and paid no attention to her at all.
This made her quite displeased.
At this moment, it was already the third day since Ryo and Chika Transmigration to the Demon Slayer World.
They met Tanjuro on the first night.
They traveled for a whole day on the second day.
Today, everyone moved to Sakonji Urokodaki’s home near Mount Sagiri for a temporary stay.
The High Martial World’s influence on this world was not very strong.
The two sides seemed to only have a cooperative relationship within a certain scope.
The technology of the High Martial World had not spread to this world.
Communication within the Demon Slayer Corps still relied on the magical Kasugai Crow.
The Kasugai Crow had been sent out last night, and it would take at least half a day to receive a reply from the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
Sakonji Urokodaki was also a very experienced swordsman trainer.
Although his help with Breathing Techniques was not significant, his assistance with swordsmanship and combat experience was immense.
“Sun Breathing Swordsmanship proficiency increased by three.”
After just two hours of sparring in the morning, Ryo’s swordsmanship proficiency directly increased by three.
His original Sun Breathing Swordsmanship proficiency was not that high.
Now, his martial arts panel had undergone astonishing changes compared to before coming to the Demon Slayer World.
“Host: Ryo”
“Occupation: Sun Breathing Swordsman (Destined Demon Slayer).”
“Breathing Style: Sun Breathing LV3 (3/50)”
“Sun Breathing Swordsmanship: LV3 (1/50)”
“Combat Rank: Stone Breaker”
“Combat Evaluation: Basically equivalent to Tanjiro who can cut boulders.”
His Breathing Technique broke through while traveling yesterday.
The greatest advantage of Breathing Technique cultivation compared to swordsmanship cultivation is that it can be practiced anywhere, anytime.
In two days in the Demon Slayer World, his improvement was basically equivalent to Tanjiro’s two years.
However, Ryo also knew very well that this was due to a bonus.
It wasn’t his diligent cultivation; it was a small Opportunity that led to a great Breakthrough.
The next major Breakthrough would require fifty proficiency points.
At the current proficiency rate, it would probably take nearly ten days of arduous cultivation.
However, Ryo was already quite satisfied with his current strength.
After all, he had only been Transmigration for a few days, and he had already gone from being an obscure student in his class to an estimated top student in his school.
“Once I go back, I can truly make a grand public appearance.”
Ryo chuckled inwardly.
“I just don’t know what Rank my current physical body is.”
When his Breathing Technique broke through yesterday, his physical body Rank should have also had a Breakthrough.
This was also the abnormal aspect of the martial arts panel; Breakthroughs in skills tied to physical fitness would bring direct physical feedback.
The Breakthrough from the second stage to the third stage of the Breathing Technique was quite significant.
It’s just that he currently didn’t have equipment to instantly check his physical body Rank.
However, according to his estimation, it should have increased by at least one Rank.
A physical body Rank above three, LV3 Sun Breathing, LV3 Sun Breathing Swordsmanship.
He could be considered a top student in school.
His physical body Rank was slightly lower, but his Realm was definitely quite high among students.
One must know that even Little Dragon Girl, who was overtly one of the top three students in the school, only had her Breathing Technique at the third stage on the surface.
As for anything hidden or concealed, that wasn’t something he needed to consider right now.
Apart from the Transmigration and the Golden Finger, nothing else required serious consideration.
His current rate of progress was nothing compared to those true monsters and Genius.
Moreover, he wasn’t without someone to look out for him now.
Ryo glanced at Secretary Fujiwara beside him, who was covering her face with a bored expression.
With this experience, given Secretary Fujiwara’s personality, even if she didn’t fall in love with him, she would at least be his friend.
The Fujiwara Family was quite a powerful local force in Z City.
“So, shouldn’t I give Secretary Fujiwara a little more warmth?”
Ryo thought, looking at Secretary Fujiwara.
This was not a Young Miss from an everyday slice-of-life world, but a genuine local power from a High Martial World worldview.
Building a good relationship with her would undoubtedly be of great help to him.
In this day and age, even if one can practice martial arts and has a cheat, one must also know how to adapt.
Only practicing martial arts is slow and dangerous.
Only relying on others is also acceptable, but one lacks autonomy.
Practicing martial arts, having a cheat, and relying on others, should allow one to practice martial arts with dignity, right?
Thinking of this,
Ryo wiped the sweat from his body, returned the nichirin blade to Sakonji Urokodaki, and then walked up to Secretary Fujiwara.
“Let’s practice Hinokami Kagura together this afternoon, Fujiwara (student). I can teach you.”
Ryo said with a smile.
His handsome features combined with the masculine aura of a Martial Artist were indeed very attractive.
Coupled with his firm attitude and strong sense of security in the snow before,
At this moment, Fujiwara Chika’s cheeks inexplicably felt warm.
She liked strong, hardworking boys.
Ryo’s various aspects indeed aligned quite well with her views on romance.
“What should I do, Kaguya (student)?”
At this moment, Secretary Fujiwara really wanted to confide in her best friend.
Unfortunately, this was in another world.
“Thank you, Ryo.”
Secretary Fujiwara’s cheeks flushed slightly as she lowered her head slightly.
“Eh, so Secretary Fujiwara can blush too?”
Ryo was quite surprised.
His perception of Fujiwara Chika was that of the “Earth’s Cancer,” a Devil King-level destroyer, and the student council president’s madam.
In the original romance anime, despite Secretary Fujiwara’s high popularity and beauty, she didn’t have an official CP until the end.
That alone was quite telling.
He just didn’t expect that Secretary Fujiwara seemed to have a considerable liking for him.
Ryo was not some kind, blind male protagonist; he had watched many romance anime and read novels.
How could he not discern Secretary Fujiwara’s current state?
Hmm, this reliance on others would be even more delightful.
