I will attack as a player!

Chapter 13 has a new cast, right?

The next morning, Chu Wuji stood in front of the stove and began practicing his boxing.

With a sound like birdsong tearing through the air, Chu Wuji's figure left behind afterimages, breaking through the air and appearing in various places.

The heat emanating from Chu Wuji's body while he was practicing his fist techniques had already melted the snow in front of Zaomen's house, revealing the slightly damp soil underneath.

After finishing another set of punches, Chu Wuji took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, then sat cross-legged on the spot and began to circulate the Reverse Yuan Electricity Generation Technique.

[Purple Lightning Reverse Yuan Fist Proficiency +1%, Current Proficiency [Proficiency (11%)]]

[Lightning Step Proficiency +1%, Current Proficiency [Proficiency (11%)]]

[The proficiency of the Reverse Yuan Electricity Technique has slightly increased. Current proficiency: [Proficiency (3%)]]

Lei Hu was right; Chu Wuji's talent in martial arts was indeed astonishing. Just one morning of practice had increased his proficiency in two martial arts by 1%.

The increase in internal energy cultivation is somewhat disappointing; it is indeed increasing every moment, but not by much.

"Brother Chu, this is today's breakfast." A gentle voice sounded in my ear.

Mizuko was carrying a wooden tray with a bowl of steaming miso soup and white rice on it, along with three small dishes: grilled fish, pickled radish, and a piece of white tofu.

This is a breakfast that is considered extremely valuable by the Japanese, and for a family like the Kamado family, which is not wealthy, it is already considered a top-level luxury.

This shows how highly regarded Chu Wuji was in the other party's eyes.

"Thank you." Chu Wuji didn't hesitate and took the food to start eating.

Practicing martial arts requires a relatively large amount of food, and these foods only fill one to about five-tenths of their capacity.

After putting down the bowl and chopsticks, a little face with drooling eyes came into view.

"Brother Chu, just give it to me after you finish eating." Midouzi had just arrived when she saw Komamoto Rokuta standing blankly in front of Chu Wuji: "Hey Rokuta, don't disturb Brother Chu's cultivation!"

Mi Douzi stepped forward and gently tapped Liu Tai on the head. She took Chu Wuji's rice bowl and was about to lead him away when Chu Wuji stopped her.

Chu Wuji pulled a handful of candy from his bag and handed it to the two of them: "A little gift."

Seeing that Mi Douzi hesitated, Chu Wuji added, "Take it. The children were quiet last night, and sensible children always get a reward."

They then placed it into the hands of Mizuko and Rokuta.

Liu Tai looked up at Mi Douzi and saw that Mi Douzi finally nodded. Then she and her sister thanked Chu Wuji, peeled a bean and put it in their mouths.

A sweet, fruity flavor filled her mouth, bringing a happy smile to Rokuta's face.

A moment later, after washing the dishes, Mi Douzi came to Chu Wuji's side again, looking at him with some curiosity: "Brother Chu, you clearly have a knife with you, so why are you practicing boxing?"

"This?" Chu Wuji looked at the Nichirin Blade he had brought to scare Muzan: "Actually, I don't know how to use a sword, but carrying one always helps me scare away bad guys, like that monster last night."

"I see?" Midouzi nodded.

Looking up, she saw Chu Wuji stuff another candy into her hand.

"You gave all the food I just gave you to your younger siblings, so you can keep this for yourself." Because of his own personality, Chu Wuji had a good impression of people who were younger sisters, let alone a sensible child like Mi Douzi.

"Thank you... thank you." Midouzi carefully unwrapped the candy, folded it in half, put it in her pocket, and then ate the candy.

It's apple flavored.

Brother Chu is such a gentle person.

On the other side, Chu Wuji gently pushed with his thumb, and with a crisp sound, the Nichirin Blade was pushed open a crack, revealing the blade inside.

The Nichirin Blade changes color depending on the first person to hold it, and this change is related to the breathing technique used by the person holding the blade.

For example, Tanjiro's sword is black because he knows Sun Breathing; it's green because he knows Wind Breathing; and it's blue because he knows Water Breathing...

As for Chu Wuji's sword, perhaps due to the breathing technique inherent in the Reverse Yuan Sheng Dian Jue (a martial arts technique), it transformed into a blade with purple lightning patterns the first time Chu Wuji held it.

Because it's a standard-issue sword, the tsuba (handguard) is the most common black, wheel-shaped design, which is rather ugly.

It's quite a memorable piece of equipment, since it's his first Nichirin Blade, so Chu Wuji decided to give it a name.

Recalling the Japanese style of naming swords, Chu Wuji decided to adopt the "characteristic naming" method, which is exemplified by swords such as "Onimaru" and "Kikuichimonji Norimune".

"Deep purple lightning, this color scheme... I've got it! You'll be called 'Authentic Old Jar'!"

Chu Wuji nodded in satisfaction, preparing to find a craftsman to inscribe the name of the knife on the blade when he had the chance.

"Um, Mr. Chu..." A hesitant voice interrupted Chu Wuji's thoughts; it was Kamado Hime.

Even though Chu Wuji wasn't much older than her child, Kamado Aoi still addressed him as "sir."

"We have an eldest son. He went down the mountain to sell charcoal yesterday. He should have been back by now, but..." Kamado Aoi hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Tanjiro?

Chu Wuji glanced at the sky; it was indeed getting late. According to the plot, Tanjiro should have returned long ago.

Understanding Kamado Hime's concerns, Chu Wuji also felt curious and immediately stood up: "I'll go take a look."

"Thank you very much! I'm sorry to have troubled you, Mr. Chu. I'll show you the way right away."

Just as Zaomen Kuizhi got up, Midouzi interrupted her: "Mom, let me go with Brother Chu. I know the way too."

With so many younger siblings in the family, an adult is still needed.

Kamado Aoi understood this as well, and could only nod: "Be careful on the road."

----------

Although the mountain road had been smoothed out by the horse-drawn carriages, it was still somewhat difficult to walk on after the snowfall.

Following Mi Douzi's pace, the two walked for about ten minutes before a gray figure appeared in their sight, lying in the snow, with a bamboo basket scattered beside it.

"Brother!" Mizuko recognized him immediately as her brother Tanjiro, who had come down the mountain to sell charcoal. She rushed over and lifted Tanjiro to the surface.

At this moment, the boy with dark red hair was pale and his lips were bluish-purple; he had fallen into a coma.

"Brother, brother!" Nezuko's hands were trembling as she held Tanjiro, and she tried calling out twice, but there was no response.

Chu Wuji reached out and checked: "There's still a pulse, he's still alive."

Suddenly, Chu Wuji frowned and ripped open Tanjiro's collar.

A fleshy, tumor-like growth was firmly attached to Tanjiro's neck, surrounded by a ring of grotesque blood vessels.

Chu Wuji's actions immediately stimulated the tumor, which suddenly contracted and then disappeared under the skin.

At the same time, Tanjiro, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, which were bloodshot.
