Chapter 15 - Could He Really Be a Genius?

The cheat was truly generous this time.

Lin Chen looked at the Martial Arts Panel before him and couldn't help but praise it inwardly.

It had actually merged all his Water Breathing experience points into Sun Breathing.

Not only that, perhaps because of observing and collecting information on Tanjuro using Sun Breathing—

After absorbing Water Breathing, both Sun Breathing and Sun Breathing swordsmanship had proficiency two points higher than his previous Water Breathing levels.

Combined with the fact that Sun Breathing was more comprehensive and powerful than Water Breathing in both breathing technique and swordsmanship—

It was equivalent to Lin Chen becoming much stronger than before just from observing.

Besides the skills—

Other aspects of the Martial Arts Panel had also undergone some changes.

His original class was Breathing Technique Swordsman, but now it had become the more specific Sun Breathing Swordsman.

And there was an additional suffix after it.

Destined Demon Slayer.

This was also easy to understand—probably a destiny similar to Yoriichi's.

The Demon Slayer world's power level wasn't considered very high, but its mystery level wasn't low.

Things like gods and fate existed here.

For example, Yoriichi's existence seemed to be divine favor—creating a naturally powerful being to eliminate Muzan.

There was also the Ubuyashiki clan, who suffered an unknown curse due to Muzan's appearance.

They could only work generation after generation to kill Muzan. After Muzan was killed, the Ubuyashiki clan went from being a short-lived clan cursed by fate to becoming a famously long-lived clan.

This generation—the Taisho Pillar generation—was the generation destined to eliminate Muzan.

Lin Chen, at this moment, receiving the inheritance of Sun Breathing in this world, had also become one of this generation's destined ones.

No matter what, he would most likely walk the path of fighting Muzan.

Of course, that was only if he stayed in this world.

Once he left this world and returned to the high-martial world, this destiny would no longer take effect.

The Demon Slayer world's fate wasn't powerful enough to affect another world.

And this destiny suffix on the Martial Arts Panel wasn't just a simple suffix.

It was a newly appeared special function.

This new function was that as long as he killed demons, he could obtain corresponding Demon Slaying Points.

And after accumulating a certain amount of Demon Slaying Points, he could perform a Trait Lottery.

The so-called Trait Lottery meant drawing a trait from the original work's main characters.

For example, Tanjiro's sense of smell, the Sound Pillar's hearing, and so on.

The lottery was divided into three tiers.

Ordinary swordsmen were one tier.

The second tier was Pillar-level swordsmen and the Twelve Kizuki.

The highest tier had three individuals.

Muzan, Yoriichi, and Demon King Tanjiro.

The drawn traits were basically all positive traits, and traits wouldn't stack.

They would only be replaced by superior versions.

But this was already enough.

Lin Chen was quite excited—the trait drawing was completely about raising his own upper limit.

And since it came from the Martial Arts Panel, there wouldn't be any hidden dangers.

Even the lowest tier had decent traits.

And the highest tier—whether Yoriichi, Muzan, or Demon King Tanjiro—

Their trait strengths were all quite high.

No matter which one he drew, it would be a huge gain.

Unfortunately, there were currently no demons for Lin Chen to practice on.

He could only look at this function with envy for now.

He put away the class panel.

Lin Chen's mind had already begun to ponder.

It seemed he would need to pay considerable attention to the Demon Slayer world even after leaving.

He didn't plan to stay here hunting demons.

That would be far too inefficient—he still had to train diligently and prepare for the college entrance exams.

If he was going to kill, he would definitely aim for the Twelve Kizuki and Muzan.

This meant he had to constantly monitor the situation on the Demon Slayer side.

Muzan definitely wouldn't survive this era.

This time, his fate of death was even stronger than when he faced Yoriichi.

The Infinity Castle battle.

Lin Chen muttered inwardly.

He could miss everything else, but he absolutely couldn't miss the Infinity Castle.

If he could kill the top three Upper Moons and Muzan, it would definitely be a massive gain.

It would be best if he could complete it before the college entrance exams.

Perhaps—

I can accelerate this progress even further.

Lin Chen thought, looking at Tanjuro ahead. He already had a plan in mind.

Snowflakes gradually began drifting from the sky.

The temperature was getting lower and lower.

Tanjuro was still tirelessly dancing the Dance of the Fire God in the snow.

Lin Chen also felt the chill rising around him, his skin feeling like it was being pricked by needles.

Although there were flames around—

These flames were from thick wooden sticks stuck in the ground, serving as torches for illumination.

Their height was taller than a person, so their warming effect was quite mediocre.

Moreover, under the falling snow, these flames were growing weaker and weaker.

Huu.

Lin Chen had already switched to Sun Breathing.

After using Sun Breathing, he instantly felt warmth spreading inside his body, as if some special energy was burning within him.

Tanjuro was also dressed very lightly, yet could dance all night in heavy snow—this was also thanks to Sun Breathing's miraculous effects.

Lin Chen casually picked up a tree branch from the ground.

There was still a long time until dawn.

He planned to start practicing Sun Breathing swordsmanship.

Time was money. Since it was freezing cold and he couldn't sleep on the ground anyway, he might as well start grinding.

Even earlier than Lin Chen was Secretary.

Although Secretary Fujiwara was a martial arts washout—

She was indeed a genius, in vocals and dance.

Just by watching Tanjuro's dance, she had already begun imitating it quite convincingly.

Her imitation was very close, but precisely because it was close, she became even more exhausted.

Because the Dance of the Fire God wasn't simple martial arts—it was a martial art that contained Sun Breathing.

People with high enough talent could comprehend Sun Breathing from the dance movements.

What the Kamado family passed down were the movements, not the breathing itself.

Tanjuro comprehended the breathing from the movements, which was why he gradually awakened the Transparent World.

If one couldn't ensure correct breathing combined with the movements, they would only get more tired the more they practiced—just like Tanjuro in his youth.

"Breathing, breathing—what's important is the combination of breathing rhythm and movement."

Lin Chen sighed lightly, walked to Secretary Fujiwara's side, and spoke softly.

"Like this movement—the wrist, the footwork, the movements must be precise, and the breathing must match the movements."

Lin Chen held the tree branch and slashed forward in a circular arc, his posture quite elegant.

As a rough guy, Lin Chen naturally didn't know how to dance.

But he had a cheat—his Sun Breathing and swordsmanship proficiency had been raised by the cheat.

Although it was far from matching Tanjuro's mastery of Sun Breathing, it was already enough.

Sun Breathing swordsmanship itself was as beautiful as a dance.

Like Yoriichi—elegant, wielding a sword as if a spirit were dancing.

Sword techniques that could make young children burst into happy laughter.

Combined with his physical condition being better than Tanjuro's, his posture looked even more powerful.

"?"

Secretary Fujiwara stared in amazement.

"Wait, you actually know this?"

Weren't we observing at the same time?

How did you learn it so quickly?
