I will attack as a player!

Chapter 16 [Boundary Breakthrough]

After saying those words, Chu Wuji vanished from the spot.

"So fast."

Although Yi Yong had witnessed Chu Wuji's speed when Chu Wuji took his sword, this time he saw it much more clearly than before.

They also felt the terror of Chu Wuji more deeply.

That kind of speed was probably only achievable by that Raiju before he retired.

On the other side, Chu Wuji had already appeared in the tree. At a glance, he saw three deformed evil spirits rushing towards him, emitting a foul stench.

Chu Wuji frowned almost imperceptibly.

As a player, his "model" won't change easily; for example, even with constant training, he can't become a muscular hunk.

However, this excludes the changes brought about by the special state of demonization.

He didn't want to become a ghost like that later; it was too ugly.

Or rather, even the most human-like Doma had black scabs on his wrists that resembled blood splattering.

Chu Wuji could not accept the appearance of strange patterns on his body.

In Chu Wuji's expectation, he would eventually be like Muzan, with no special changes in appearance except for his reddish-brown eyes.

In Chu Wuji's plan, several key conditions must be met to achieve this goal. One is to have a demon-transformation talent comparable to Muzan's.

This has already been achieved; the physical enhancement of the [Spirit] attribute also includes the talent aspect.

Secondly, it won't be as ugly as Muzan, who is afraid of light. And to achieve this goal, the roots of the blue spider lily have already been obtained, and all that's left is to cultivate it after returning to reality.

Finally, don't smell like those ghosts.

Chu Wuji believed there were two main reasons for this: first, their low talent caused them to be incompatible with Wuzan's blood; and second, the curse brought about by cannibalism.

In the original work, Tamayo and Yushiro consumed blood by purchasing it, and Tanjiro also said that they did not have the smell of demons.

Once back in reality, Chu Wuji will also be able to use cloning technology to cultivate plasma.

With a thought racing through his mind, Chu Wuji's hands didn't stop. Accompanied by a crisp click, the [Authentic Old Jar] was drawn from its sheath.

The moonlight shone on the blade, reflecting a cold light.

Chu Wuji wasn't lying; he wasn't very good with a knife, but dealing with these brats didn't require any advanced knife skills.

The Purple Lightning Reverse Yuan Fist also includes palm techniques; the palm strike is also a strike, so mastering one technique allows one to master many, making it barely usable.

The next moment, Chu Wuji's figure vanished like a bubble.

They reappeared behind one of the ghosts.

Before the ghost could even react, its entire body was shredded into pieces, turning into ashes and dissipating into the air.

[Defeat the evil spirit and gain 20 experience points]

A system notification appears.

"Taking away the young master?!"

Chu Wuji was shocked!

Before this, the only way he could gain experience was by farming the fruit dungeon, which cost 60 stamina per run and only gave him 10 experience points.

You can now get 20 points for killing a ghost that's nowhere near as strong as the fruit inside!?

Wow, you can get experience points for this too?

Isn't this just a free gift?

Just as Chu Wuji was surprised, the other two ghosts also discovered their companion's death. They immediately roared with bloodshot eyes and charged towards Chu Wuji.

Normally, demons are not allowed to gather in groups, but not long ago, Lord Muzan inexplicably lifted this restriction, and the three demons used this to help each other hunt down the Demon Slayer Corps, and were always successful.

But then one of them was inexplicably killed, which naturally enraged the other two ghosts.

"Damn the Demon Slayer Corps, all they know how to do is ambush!"

"Go to hell!"

One of them, presumably the leader, suddenly opened a large mouth in front of its chest.

With a crisp "bang," the compressed air cannon suddenly exploded.

"Blood Demon Technique?" Chu Wuji glanced sideways, a mischievous idea forming in his mind: "Then it's you."

A faint crackling sound of electricity rang out, and another ghost was instantly sliced ​​to pieces by the authentic old altar. The air cannon also landed in empty space, blasting up a large area of ​​soil.

[Defeat the evil spirit and gain 20 experience points]

"What?! That was fast!"

Before the air cannon ghost could even be surprised, Chu Wuji's figure had already appeared in front of him.

But the expected fierce slash did not come; instead, a fist as hard as cast iron fell instead of the blade.

"Bang!"

The air cannon ghost's head exploded instantly.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Another series of blows followed, the terrifying force carrying a strange energy piercing into the air cannon ghost's tough body, causing it to swell up on the spot and explode into a bloody mist.

The air cannon demon, now only its lower body remaining, collapsed weakly to the ground and began to regenerate rapidly.

"Isn't this okay?"

Chu Wuji wanted to use the ghost's characteristics to gain more experience, but unfortunately, it didn't work.

That's true, otherwise I would have already triggered the experience point when I cut Muzan into mincemeat.

Once the ghost's head regenerated, Chu Wuji slashed it down with his sword, finally ending its life.

[Defeat the evil spirit and gain 40 experience points]

"Does the experience vary depending on the intensity?"

With these forty experience points in hand, Chu Wuji's experience pool finally overflowed.

[Current level 10, experience points maxed out]

To advance, please complete the [Limit Break] quest.

The system seems to have a watershed every ten levels; once you advance, you will receive a huge boost.

In addition, to be promoted, one needs to complete a special mission called "Limit Break".

With a thought, Chu Wuji opened the taskbar.

[Limit Break: Upgrade a skill to [Minor Mastery]]

[Task Reward: Promotion to LV11]

Is it a minor success?

During the fifteen-day journey, Chu Wuji also honed his skills. Both the Purple Lightning Reverse Yuan Fist and the Thunder Chasing Step had been improved to [Proficiency 27%]. Chu Wuji estimated that it would take about two more months to reach [Minor Success].

It's just a matter of time and patience; at worst, we can just extend the training time later.

"Are there any ghosts around here?" Tomioka Giyuu, who arrived late, asked when he saw Chu Wuji, who was in a daze.

"That's all, let's go back." Chu Wuji snapped out of his daze and they returned to the camp together.

After another five days of travel, the group successfully arrived at Mount Sagiri.

Perhaps because Giyu had sent a message in advance using Kasugai-raven, he wasn't assigned any tasks along the way, and Urokodaki Sakonji, the master of Mount Sagiri, was already waiting at the foot of the mountain.

"You've arrived." The old man wearing the Half-Heaven Dog mask looked at Giyu and greeted him first.

"Hmm." Yi Yong nodded calmly.

"Sigh..." Urokodaki Sakonji sighed.

Giyuu has been like this ever since Sabito's incident.

Without much hesitation, Urokodaki Sakonji gently pulled back the cloth covering the bamboo cage, revealing a small gap. He was taken aback when he saw Tanjiro grinning foolishly inside.

After a moment, the old man looked up and said, "This is the first time I've seen something like this. Perhaps this is our chance to defeat Muzan..."

"Anyway, I'll take his family up the mountain first. Be careful on the way."

After saying that, the old man took the cart and prepared to go up the mountain.

Nezuko looked reluctantly at Tanjiro, who was being carried on Giyu's back, and opened her mouth.

Although she really wanted to say that she wanted to go too, Midouzi understood that even if she went now, she would only be a burden, so she had no choice but to go up the mountain with the others.

Halfway there, Mizuko suddenly looked up at Urokodaki Sakonji.

"Um... could you teach me swordsmanship? I'd like to be able to help everyone!"

Urokodaki Sakon turned around twice, his face hidden behind the mask, his expression unreadable.

After a long silence, the old man finally spoke: "If you can endure the training."

"No problem! I'll do my best!"
