Comprehensive comic: Starting from the Soul Society and cutting through all the worlds

Chapter 658 The final selection begins!
Time passed like a white horse passing by, and two years had passed since I went to Xiawu Mountain to practice.

When Tanjiro thought back to Yoshigiro and Tomioka Giyuu, whom he met in the snow two years ago, as well as every detail of his training over the past two years, he couldn't help but feel as if he was in another world.

Two years ago, he followed Ye Cheng's instructions and did find the old man named Urokodaki Sakonji in Sagiri Mountain.

At the beginning, when the old man saw himself and his sister Nezuko who had turned into a cannibal, his attitude towards them was not very welcoming.

It was not until Tanjiro expressed his purpose and said that he was introduced by Yorugiro that Urokodaki Sakonji chose to take them in.

At the beginning, Urokodaki Sakonji was indeed not optimistic about Tanjiro.

Although Tanjiro showed great courage and perseverance, he lacked another extremely important quality, that is, determination!

Faced with evil demons that feed on humans, he actually has no determination to put them to death. He wants to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps but doesn't dare to kill demons. How is this possible?
But the other party was introduced by Ye Cheng, and he owed Ye Cheng a favor.

So even though he was somewhat dissatisfied with Tanjiro, Urokodaki Sakonji eventually accepted Tanjiro as his disciple.

And the facts have also proved that the Son of the World, who possesses the aura of the protagonist, does have Ex-level infection abilities.

Two years passed, and Tanjiro's daily efforts and persistence were all seen by Urokodaki Sakonji.

So, Urokodaki Sakonji, who was a little dissatisfied with Tanjiro at the beginning, was gradually touched by the feelings between Tanjiro and his sister, and even slowly untied his knot.

Under the guidance of Urokodaki Sakonji, Tanjiro also mastered the "Water Breathing Technique", and his strength improved by leaps and bounds.

And now he is no longer the naive boy who was unable to kill the cannibal.

The reason is very simple. Urokodaki Sakonji took Tanjiro to see a scene where cannibalistic ghosts attacked humans.

Previously, Tanjiro was unable to kill the cannibal because the cannibal looked not much different from a normal person.

After witnessing a cannibalistic ghost devouring humans, Tanjiro finally understood a truth.

That is, although their appearance has not changed, the cannibals have become a group of demons in human skin. If they are not killed, more people will die because of them.

Of course, his sister Nezuko is an exception!

At the same time, Tanjiro also understood why Giyu Tomioka insisted on killing his sister.

Fujixi Mountain is famous for the wisteria flowers that bloom all year round at the foot of the mountain.

Because the area where Fujixi Mountain is located is covered with thick fog all year round, sunlight often cannot reach this place, and the cannibals in the mountains will not die because of exposure to sunlight.

Then, because of the wisteria flowers at the foot of the mountain, the cannibals could not cross this barrier, which made Tengxi Mountain like a huge cannibal prison.

Wisteria flowers are in full bloom all over the place, making it look like a fairyland on earth, but the mountain is dark and dangerous, like two extremes.

Just when Tanjiro and the other people who would eventually participate in the "final selection" gathered at this time, two children with black hair and one white hair, holding lanterns in their hands, slowly walked out of the torii.

And as the chief examiners, they directly explained the rules for passing the "final selection", which is to survive in Fujixi Mountain for seven days.

Tanjiro and the others were quite surprised to see two strange children with black and white hair in front of them. They didn't expect that the "final selection" would be hosted by these two children. However, if other court pillars were here, they would probably think this was quite normal, because the two children who appeared here were the children of their lord.

The white-haired child among them is Ubuyashiki Kanata, the youngest daughter of Ubuyashiki Yoshiya.

The black-haired child, although dressed as a woman, is indeed the only successor to the Demon Slayer Corps lord, Ubuyashiki Teriya.

Compared with the previous "final selection", this time, in addition to explaining the rules, Teriya and the others also gave Tanjiro and the others some kind advice.

"The purpose of passing the final selection is just to keep you alive, so I advise you not to try to be brave unless it's necessary.

Many of the people present are outstanding disciples or even stepchildren of the Court Pillars. If they die here because of their stubbornness, it will be a loss for the Demon Slayer Corps."

As soon as Hui Liya finished speaking, a young man with dark rooster comb hair and a scary scar on the right side of his face extending to the tip of his nose shouted angrily with an unhappy look on his face: "What a joke! Do you mean that we should all hide?

The Demon Slayer Corps was originally created to kill man-eating demons, and the "Final Selection" is also an assessment to test whether we are qualified to join the Demon Slayer Corps.

And you asked us to hide, so what is the point of the assessment itself! "

Although Busikawa Genya's tone was a bit loud, it must be said that most of the examiners present agreed with what he said.

This is the nature of young people. In order to participate in the "final selection", they have all undergone various hard training under the guidance of their respective teachers.

Now that they have finally learned something and can show their skills, the examiners tell them that the test is mainly based on self-preservation. Doesn't this look down on them!

"If it was the final selection in previous years, we would not give you such advice.

But we can now clearly tell you that the cannibals in Tengxi Mountain are completely different from before."

As Teriya finished speaking, his twin sister, Ubuyashiki Kanata, also spoke up, "The former cannibals in Fujisaka Mountain were all the lowest level cannibals.

The strength of a cannibal can be judged based on the number of people they have eaten. In the past, most of the cannibals in Fujixi Mountain were low-level creatures who had only eaten one or two people.

Moreover, they have been trapped in Tengxi Mountain for many years without blood to supplement their diet. In fact, they are already very weak. They are just the right people to serve as the test subjects for you apprentice demon slayers."

“But just two years ago, a certain man showed up, and all the cannibals in Fujixi Mountain were killed overnight.

I believe you have heard about this rumor, right?"

Hearing the words of the Ubuyashiki twins, Fushigi Genya, Agatsuma Zenitsu, Kurikara Kanao and others present all showed serious expressions.

Naturally, they had heard about the rumors about Hiruzen Chiki since they had a close relationship with the Teihashira.

"But what does the 'Thousand Slashing Spirit Pillar' have to do with this final selection?" Agatsuma Zenitsu asked with some uneasiness.

“It’s very simple, because the cannibals in Fujixi Mountain are all recruited by the ‘Thousand Slashing Spirit Pillar’ you mentioned, with the cooperation of the other two pillars.

Since these cannibals were thrown into Tengxi Mountain not long ago, they are still in a strong state. "
