Purgatory Xingjulang took the mission given by Li Ge and left.
He promised Li Ge that he would bring him a large amount of Orangutan Crimson Sand Iron and Orangutan Crimson Ore.
There are still a lot of Orangutan Crimson Sand Iron and Orangutan Crimson Ore. Not a single member of the Demon Slayer Squad is short of a Nichirin Sword. Even Tanjiro got a new Nichirin Sword immediately after he broke it. This proves that
The Demon Slayer Squad is not in short supply of materials for swords, but what they lack is probably swordsmiths who are highly skilled in forging swords.
But this time Li Ge didn't need anyone to forge the knife for him. He just needed the raw materials for the knife. This request was not difficult. Purgatory Xingjulang said that he would try to bring him as much as possible with his lord's consent, which was considered very thoughtful.
.
"Fortunately, the first person I met was Purgatory. Otherwise, other people wouldn't be so easy to talk to."
Thinking of the other pillars of the Demon Slayer Squad, Li Ge felt more and more that those two people were problem children.
In contrast, Purgatory Anjuro just has a little more personality, he is still very kind-hearted, and he is very warm and friendly to others.
Leaving this matter to Purgatory Xingjulang, Li Ge felt relieved.
Therefore, Li Ge no longer thought about the Sun Lun Sword, picked up the breathing method compilation in front of him, and read each one.
After watching it for about an hour, Li Ge had a certain understanding of the five basic breathing techniques.
"Although the five basic breathing methods are all branches derived from the Breathing of the Sun, each of these breathing methods has its own characteristics and advantages. In terms of individual characteristics and advantages, they are not inferior to the Breathing of the Sun."
For example, the breathing style of water is characterized by its softness, changeable sword shapes, and dexterity and agility in combat. It can cope with various battle situations. It is a breathing style that is as changeable as flowing water.
Among all the breathing methods, water breathing is relatively easy to practice. It may not be as powerful as other breathing methods, but it is the most advantageous in a protracted battle. Breathing for days is not as powerful as water breathing.
The breath is varied and long-lasting.
Since the birth of the Breathing Method, the number of ghost hunters who are proficient in water breathing has always been the largest, resulting in the Demon Slayer Squad's water column never having a vacancy.
Therefore, water breathing is the first choice for many people when practicing breathing methods. The characteristics of being easy to practice and mastering make many Demon Slayer swordsmen who think they are not very talented tend to practice water breathing.
Similar to the breath of water, there is the breath of fire.
This is a breathing method passed down from generation to generation by purgatory masters. It is also the breathing method that is closest to the original appearance of sun breathing among all breathing methods. Its power is one of the best among all breathing methods, although it is not as easy as water breathing.
It's easy to practice, but the Breathing of Flames can be considered the most perfect of all breathing methods. As long as you study hard and study hard, once you master it, your strength will increase very quickly, and you will soon stand out.
Like the Breathing of Water, there has never been a vacancy in the Flame Pillar that is proficient in the Breathing of Fire. The pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps in all generations will have flame pillars and water pillars, making these two breathing styles always occupy a very important role in the Demon Slayer Corps.
status.
According to Lige's speculation, the second breathing method that was first born after the Breathing of the Sun was probably the Breathing of Flames. Compared with the Breathing of the Sun, it may not be as powerful as the Breathing of the Sun, but its destructive power is still very high.
Strong.
The remaining three breathing styles also have outstanding characteristics.
For example, Thunder Breathing is considered to be the fastest and most explosive breathing style among all breathing methods. In terms of speed, it is even slightly inferior to Sun Breathing. Therefore, it requires extremely high physical fitness of the user.
Next to the breath of the sun, it is extremely difficult to practice. Among the current pillars, there is no pillar who is proficient in the breath of thunder, which shows how difficult it is to practice.
Another example is the breath of wind, which allows the user to have very strong cutting power with every slash. It is the sharpest breathing method and can easily cut off any part of the ghost's body. A skilled user can even use the wind blade to cut off any part of the ghost's body.
Wrapping around the hands and feet, using this breathing method as a physical technique, coupled with its speed second only to the breathing of thunder, it is vaguely obvious how powerful the person who practices this breathing method will be.
The last Breath of the Rock is even more peculiar. As the only one among the five basic breathing methods that does not have branch breathing, it is stable and heavy. It is good at both defense and offense. Practitioners mostly use heavy weapons as a means of using this breath.
With the one-breath method, the defense they put up was difficult to break, and the attacks they launched were heavy and powerful. It can be said that those who are proficient in it are no weaklings.
These five breathing methods are not as good as Sun's Breathing in terms of comprehensive ability. But if we only focus on the advantages in one aspect, Sun's Breathing has to be inferior to them.
"Yes, it's quite interesting."
Li Ge watched it with great interest.
Ubuyashiki Yōya said that Sun Breathing is the strongest breathing method, but Li Ge actually disagreed.
You have to look at what kind of person uses these breathing techniques.
Each of the current pillars is a swordsman who has practiced their breathing techniques to the extreme. Can a random person who has practiced Sun Breathing defeat them?
Impossible.
It can only be said that if they are at the same level, then those who practice Sun Breathing are indeed stronger than those who practice other breathing methods, but their strength lies in their comprehensive ability.
If both parties are at the same level, then the person who practices Sun Breathing will not last longer than the person who practices Water Breathing, nor will he be faster than the person who practices Thunder Breathing.
His slashes will not be sharper than those of those who have practiced the Breath of Wind.
His offensive and defensive strength may also be inferior to those who have practiced the Breath of the Rock.
Therefore, Sun's Breathing is certainly very strong, but it is strong in all aspects. If you compare it with the five basic breathing methods that specialize in a certain area of ability, you will not necessarily lose.
Similarly, derived breathing methods such as the Breath of Love, Breath of Insects, Breath of Sound, Breath of Water, Breath of Clouds, etc., they are just more specialized abilities in a certain aspect based on the prototype, although they are very
If the user is not selected to have corresponding talents and special physiques, they may not even be able to practice them. However, once they are proficient in them, they are by no means inferior to the five basic breathing methods, and are even stronger in some aspects.
However, those derived breathing methods are really too picky about the users, as if they are seriously biased. For what Li Ge is about to do, their reference effect has indeed been reduced a lot.
"Anyway, let's try it first."
After Li Ge memorized the five basic breathing techniques in his mind, he picked up a practice knife placed in the room and went to the courtyard.
…………
The process of mastering the five basic breathing techniques is not too difficult.
Maybe it's because Li Ge's own learning ability and growth rate are too terrifying, or maybe it's because he has already learned the Breath of the Sun, and the five basic breathing methods derived from the Breath of the Sun are not very useful to him.
The great difficulty was easily mastered by him.
then……
"Breath of Water·One Type·Water Cut."
In the courtyard, a wave of water suddenly appeared, like a water knife cutting through the water, instantly cutting through the atmosphere.
Li Ge held the knife used for practice and adjusted his breathing. After slashing the flowing water in front of him, the rhythm of his breathing suddenly changed, causing the water vapor undulating around him to turn into hot flames.
"Breath of Fire·One Type·Shiranui."
Li Ge's body rushed forward like a rocket, with flames rolling all over his body. After cutting through the void, he turned around and cut off the water waves that had just appeared and evaporated them.
At this time, Li Ge's breathing rhythm changed again, turning the flames around him into a whirlwind.
"Breath of Wind·Shape of One·Dust Whirlwind·Slash."
Just now it was a rocket, this time it will be a hurricane.
Li Ge's whole body was covered by the wind, and he rushed forward, leaving a spiral wind blade behind him, cutting the ground.
"Breath of Rock·One Type·Serpentinite·Bipolar."
The spiral wind blade disappeared, and Li Ge's slash was like a thick giant rock, swiping through the air and setting off bursts of turbulent dust.
Finally, when Li Ge's toes touched the ground, he broke through the ground and his whole body turned into a bolt of lightning.
"Breath of Thunder·Shape of One·Thunderbolt Flash."
The sound of thunder tearing through the air sounded, and the lightning flashed across the courtyard, literally turning into a flash of thunderbolt.
When the lightning disappeared, Li Ge's figure appeared in the crackling electric current, making an Iai gesture of sheathing the sword.
The changing breathing rhythm slowly calmed down, causing Li Ge to turn his head and look behind him.
The place had become a mess, as if it had been ravaged by artillery fire, and no place was intact.
"...It seems that I will have to leave some gold for Purgatory in the future so that he can repair his own courtyard."
Li Ge murmured, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
The five basic breathing techniques were mastered by Li Ge.
If such a shocking thing were to leak out, it would probably scare the jaws of many people.
It took others several years or even more than ten years to practice breathing techniques to the point of proficiency. Li Ge easily mastered them, and even practiced five of them at once.
If those pillars found out about this, they would all be beaten to pieces.
However, for Li Ge, the real thing to do will begin next.
"I wonder if it can be what I want?"
Li Ge whispered.
"Using the breath of the sun as the foundation, integrating the breathing method of this world and the sword skills of the Akasha continent."
Yes, this is what Li Ge intends to do in this world.
After learning that this dimensional travel was about the world of demon annihilation, Li Ge immediately thought of the breathing methods of the two worlds.
"Demon Slayer's breathing method strengthens heart and lung function by absorbing large amounts of oxygen, accelerates blood flow, and allows people to temporarily possess power beyond the human body."
"The sword skills of Akasha Continent are assisted by breathing techniques to stimulate the magic power, stimulate the activation of the body, and allow the body to absorb the magic power and become stronger."
"So, if I fuse the principles of these two breathing methods, and then integrate the sword skills of the two worlds, can I get the best of both worlds, which can not only improve my strength during the battle, but also improve my strength after every use?
The ability to become stronger?”
"What's more, can I make the breathing method not only strengthen the heart and lung function and speed up the blood flow, but also strengthen the internal organs and even every cell, and add stimulation and activation to the accelerated blood flow?
The huge magic power, thus bursting out the amazing fighting power?"
This is Li Ge's idea, to integrate the breathing principles and sword skills of the two worlds to create a fighting method that allows him to explode in battle and become stronger the more he fights.
Once accomplished, this will be a special sword skill that surpasses the complete Holy Dragon Sword Skill.
after all---
"How can it be more exciting to become a dragon than to become a sun?"
Li Ge's eyes were full of energy, and the corners of his mouth were also drawn up.
