Demon Slayer

Time flies, and a month has passed.

During this month, inspired by the breathing techniques of Demon Slayer, Banggu created the 3rd Stage Awakening Breathing Technique. Each stage of activation significantly boosted bodily functions, allowing the user to activate different stages of breathing techniques according to the situation, making it more flexible than before. At the same time, the learning threshold was greatly reduced.

Compared to the derived styles of fire, water, wind, lightning, rock, and other elements within the breathing techniques, Banggu's 3rd Stage Awakening Breathing Technique still remains a general and evenly balanced breathing technique that enhances bodily functions. It is also the most powerful version without any weaknesses.

Aomori did not give up on the Thunder Breathing technique because of its high compatibility with himself, enabling him to harness the lightning energy within his body.

With Banggu's help, Aomori completed the Third Stage of the Thunder Breathing Technique. Although he had not fully mastered the final stage yet, he could proficiently use the first two stages. Additionally, he reached the state of "Total Concentration - Constant," and the system's Thunder Breathing Technique was updated to the "Thunder Third Stage Breathing Technique."

Aomori's "Thunder Third Stage Breathing Technique" differed significantly from the breathing techniques in Demon Slayer. It mainly relied on Banggu's Third Stage Awakening Breathing Technique as its backbone, supplemented by the power of lightning, enhancing its potency. Therefore, in the future, he might be able to use Thunder Breathing with one hand and another breathing technique with the other, simultaneously.

After creating the Third Stage Awakening Breathing Technique, Banggu did not show favoritism but instead taught the method of activating the 1st stage of breathing techniques as the essence of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist , teaching it to Garou. Since others hadn't even mastered the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist , teaching them would have been futile.

Garou mastered the first stage of breathing techniques in just three days. After several battles with Aomori, they had traded victories and defeats.

With Aomori around, Garou became stronger than in the original plotline, but it remained uncertain whether he would become a "hero hunter" targeting Aomori.

Moreover, the significant enhancement of energy attributes allowed Aomori to utilize energy more thoroughly. He could now condense energy on his body's surface.

Additionally, the "Minor Healing Technique" was upgraded to "Healing Technique," with enhanced healing effects. When using the Healing Technique, he could concentrate holy light energy in his palms without it dissipating into the void.

On Water Pavilion Street in City A:

"Oops!"

"I turned into a tofu monster after eating too much tofu!" A strange creature, with a body composed of white cubes, suddenly appeared on the street. "Lovely ladies, can I have some of your tofu?"

"Eek, pervert!"

"Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap Flash! Ten strikes!"

Purple flashes leaped ten times in succession, and the tofu monster was instantly sliced into countless pieces.

[Ding! Congratulations to player Aomori for successfully defeating the tofu monster (Wolf Level), gaining 220 experience points and 20 points.]

[Ding! Congratulations to player Aomori for completing the daily task of defeating monsters (1/1), gaining 550 experience points and 50 points.]

[Ding! Congratulations to player Aomori for reaching level 10, earning +1 Constitution, +1 Energy, +1 Spirit, and 100 points.]

[Ding! Congratulations to player Aomori for unlocking level 10 dungeons. Would you like to enter the dungeon immediately?]

"No!"

Finally reaching level 10, Aomori achieved his goal. Comforting the startled passersby and amidst the admiration of the girls, he left the scene and returned to the filming location. During the filming break, Aomori went out to hunt monsters.

That night, after returning home and making the same preparations, Aomori went to the basement.

Opening the system, the dungeon cooldown was ticking down: [00:34:29].

Aomori's attributes in the system were [Constitution 29, Energy 31, Spirit 28], and his points increased to 20693.

Unable to unlock a new pet slot, Aomori decided to enter the level 10 dungeon.

Since it wasn't a beginner dungeon, and unsure of the difficulty, Aomori decided to spend 20,000 points to open ten Intermediate Treasure Chests.

Each ten-pull guaranteed at least one purple item, sparking Aomori's curiosity as he had never seen a purple item before.

"I wonder if there's a Gundam?"

[Ding! Ten consecutive Intermediate Point Chests guarantee a purple-quality item and require 20,000 points to open. Are you sure you want to open them?]

"Confirm!"

Thunk, thunk, thunk...

Ten heavy chests popped out of the system, landing in front of Aomori, emitting a rich aura.

After washing his hands and face, Aomori solemnly opened the chests.

[Name: Shura's One Slash (Purple)]

[Description: From "Chivalry of a Failed Knight," bursts out with full-body strength in one minute, with a cooldown of one day.]

[Note: "With my weakest, I defeat your strongest."]

...

One Slash Shura? Isn't this similar to the Third Stage Awakening Breathing Technique? Both are short-term burst skills that strain the body.

"Oh well, since I haven't fully mastered the Third Stage Awakening Breathing Technique yet, I'll familiarize myself with it in advance."

After looking at the other items, Aomori felt that something was amiss with the system.

After a brief test, Aomori opened the dungeon option in the system, where the second column was glowing.

Selected, clicked.

[Ding! Would you like to enter the level 10 dungeon immediately?]

"Yes!"

With a grinding sound, a black hole appeared again, and Aomori's figure disappeared instantly, leaving a camera silently operating in the corner.

---

In the midst of radiant light, Aomori vaguely saw a red glow. When consciousness returned, the first thing he saw was the face of a young boy.

Aomori's body trembled slightly, but he managed to restrain the impulse to strike. There was no malice in the boy's eyes.

"Are you okay?" The boy asked with concern.

Aomori sat up and looked at the boy's face: reddish-brown hair, charcoal-like scars on his forehead, and earrings shaped like suns on his ears...

This appearance perfectly matched a character in his mind.

Tanjiro Kamado! The main character of Demon Slayer!

This was Demon Slayer!
