Lu Ming reminded Tanjuro, saying, "Are you sure there isn't? I see your breathing rhythm constantly switching back and forth!"
Tanjuro froze for a moment; it was true that while practicing Water Breathing, he would occasionally switch to the special breathing rhythm of the Hinokami Kagura.
Lu Ming glanced at the dazed Tanjuro and added indifferently, "Perhaps that strange, special breathing of yours is also a powerful Breathing Style!"
After giving his reminder, Lu Ming left. In any case, he had already learned Sun Breathing using the Soldier Tally.
At this time, Tanjiro, who was practicing Water Breathing nearby, looked at his dazed father.
In that very instant, the gentle Water Breathing on Tanjuro's body transformed into a Breathing Style as scorching and violent as the sun.
Taking Lu Ming's reminder to heart, Tanjuro converted his Water Breathing into the special breathing technique of the Hinokami Kagura.
Just like Water Breathing, it injected a massive amount of oxygen from the breath into the blood, causing Tanjuro's strength to undergo an explosive growth.
As Tanjuro felt the familiar special breathing technique of the Hinokami Kagura, he sensed his body being significantly enhanced.
Compared to the Water Breathing he had just been practicing, the special breathing techniques of the Hinokami Kagura suited him much better.
Lost in his own world, Tanjuro didn't notice the surprised crowd around him as he used the special breathing of the Hinokami Kagura to perform the forms of Water Breathing.
However, no matter how Tanjuro used the sword forms of Water Breathing, they felt weak and limp, completely incompatible with the special rhythm of the Hinokami Kagura's breathing.
Tanjuro stopped, recalling the breathing rhythm of the Hinokami Kagura, and his body began to move involuntarily.
Tanjiro watched as his father instinctively began to dance the Hinokami Kagura, but the originally slow ritual dance gradually became sharp and explosive.
Following the breathing rhythm, Tanjuro involuntarily performed Sun Breathing, First Form: Dance, unleashing a curved slash wreathed in flames toward the front.
He then immediately connected to the next move, Sun Breathing, Second Form: Clear Blue Sky, swinging a circular slash wreathed in flames from bottom to top.
Next was Sun Breathing, Third Form: Raging Sun, delivering a deep red, curved horizontal slash.
Closely following was Sun Breathing, Fourth Form: Fake Rainbow, using high-speed twists and rotations to dodge; the better the opponent's vision, the more easily they are deceived by the afterimages.
Sun Breathing, Fifth Form: Fire Wheel, performing a backflip and unleashing a curved slash wreathed in scorching flames.
Sun Breathing, Sixth Form: Burning Bones, Summer Sun, releasing a rotating flame slash that envelops the enemy in fire, burning them continuously.
Sun Breathing, Seventh Form: Sunflower Thrust, generating a ring of fire around the blade and performing a rapid forward thrust.
Sun Breathing, Eighth Form: Solar Heat Haze, making the tip of the blade flicker like a heat haze, creating the illusion of the blade shortening or lengthening.
Sun Breathing, Ninth Form: Setting Sun Transformation, launching a sharp horizontal slash while upside down in mid-air.
Sun Breathing, Tenth Form: Beneficent Radiance, unleashing a spiraling slash descending from above, with the blade wreathed in flames as hot as the sun.
Sun Breathing, Eleventh Form: Dragon Sun Halo Dance, forming a scorching giant fire dragon through high-speed slashes that ravages the surroundings.
Sun Breathing, Twelfth Form: Flame Dance, delivering two horizontal Dance slashes in an instant; if one is strong enough, they can deliver even more.
Finally, Sun Breathing, Thirteenth Form: Continuously performing the first through twelfth forms to create an infinite loop, with the power increasing with each cycle.
At this moment, Tanjuro was performing Sun Breathing in a state of total immersion, forming an infinite loop. However, human stamina is limited, and Tanjuro soon came to a halt.
Tanjuro let out a long breath and stretched his body with great satisfaction.
Watching from a distance, Lu Ming noted that Tanjuro now possessed Sun Breathing, the Transparent World, and natural Marks; he was only missing a Bright Red Nichirin Sword to become the next Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
However, he would likely master the Bright Red Nichirin Sword quickly in the upcoming battles against demons!
At this time, Urokodaki Sakonji sensed a powerful aura emanating from Tanjuro. Looking at Tanjuro, he actually felt a sense of lethal threat.
He silently estimated that if he were to engage in a life-or-death struggle with the current Tanjuro, he would be slain within a few moves; Tanjuro had already surpassed him by a wide margin.
He looked in shock at the sword-wielding Tanjuro; in just a few days, he had gained the ability to easily kill a Hashira. His talent was truly too formidable.
Urokodaki Sakonji walked slowly toward Tanjuro and asked, "Tanjuro, was that Flame Breathing you just performed? But why... I've never seen the flame hashira use it like that?"
Tanjuro looked at Urokodaki Sakonji with respect. "Master Urokodaki, this is the special breathing technique of my family's Hinokami Kagura. I am not familiar with Flame Breathing."
"So that's how it is! Tanjuro, with your current strength, you can already sign up for the upcoming Final Selection at Fujikasane Mountain," Urokodaki Sakonji said seriously.
"I will prepare to go, Master Urokodaki!" Saying this, he walked toward Lu Ming and bowed deeply.
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord God! You made me realize the truth behind my family's Kagura dance." Seeing this, Lu Ming hurried to help him up.
"I only reminded you of the abnormality that appeared while you were practicing Water Breathing. That you were able to realize it is due to your own merit," Lu Ming explained.
"Even so, I am still extremely grateful for Lord God's reminder," Tanjuro said, looking at Lu Ming very seriously.
After solemnly thanking Lu Ming, Tanjuro went back to teaching his children.
After a while, Kamado Kie came over with Uzumaki Shiro, who had finished washing up. As soon as they arrived, Lu Ming noticed Uzumaki Shiro's tattered hemp clothes and frowned.
He took the Dress-Up Camera out of his four-dimensional space. This was originally intended as a gift for his mother, but it had been sitting in the four-dimensional space because he hadn't had the chance to give it to her. Fortunately, he still had it!
He took some design sketches for children's clothing out of the space, selected one, tucked it into the Dress-Up Camera, and pressed the shutter while aiming at Uzumaki Shiro.
With a flash of white light, the tattered clothes on Uzumaki Shiro's body turned into a golden-yellow little duckling outfit, with a pair of matching yellow leather shoes on her feet.
Lu Ming looked at the current Uzumaki Shiro and nodded with satisfaction.
However, the cute little girl before him was extremely thin because she had lived a life of hunger in that mountain village for a long time.
Even her skin had been tanned dark by the sun, but the little girl was actually quite pretty. Her tanned skin would get better with proper care, Lu Ming thought.
Seeing Uzumaki Shiro change into cute clothes in the blink of an eye, Kie looked at Lu Ming with glowing eyes.
Seeing Kie's longing face, Lu Ming helplessly took a photo of her as well, though her children's outfit was scaled up proportionally.
Kie felt the comfort these clothes brought her; they were much more comfortable than what she had worn before.
Lu Ming watched as she wore the outfit and impatiently ran toward Tanjuro, and he could only smile helplessly.
But before Kie could say more than a few words to Tanjuro, she was pulled back in front of Lu Ming by Hanako and Nezuko. Kie's face turned red with embarrassment.
"Th... that, Lord God, could you also change my children's clothes?" she said hesitantly.
Seeing this, Lu Ming no longer hesitated and took photos of Nezuko and Hanako as well. They all changed into the same little duckling style, looking like a mother duck leading her ducklings.
