Fox Demon: God rewards hard work, I will eventually master martial arts and become a god

When Tanjiro Kamado heard Lin Yu's words, he nodded and floated upwards immediately.

When he was about halfway there, he suddenly realized that the air in his chest had become extremely weak, and the heat flow called internal force that had just been generated had almost become stagnant.

Only then did he understand what Lin Yu meant. He quickly quickened his pace and finally rushed out of the cold pond before he could no longer hold back.

The moment he emerged from the water, Tanjiro Kamado felt like he had seen a new world.

The world was so clear, the chirping of insects outside the field of vision, the veins of leaves in the distance, the smell of soil dozens of meters away, all these things became so clear in Tanjiro Kamado's senses.

He couldn't help but be a little shocked. Is this the change that his inner strength brought to him?
“This is just the tip of the iceberg.”

Lin Yu's voice sounded in Tanjiro Kamado's mind.

This immediately made Tanjiro Kamado, who had already suppressed his curiosity, even more curious.

Isn’t the magic of inner strength more than just this?
"Internal force is your own power. Its most important characteristic is that it can be used as you wish. It can also be integrated into any of your attacks to increase the strength of your attacks, including your fists, swordsmanship, or your purest axe strikes."

Lin Yu explained.

Tanjiro Kamado was suddenly eager to try. With an idea in his mind, he took a step forward and punched out, landing on a tree next to him.

Click!

The big tree that two people could hug together was immediately blown up by Tanjiro Kamado's casual blow. The place where his fist landed was shattered into pieces, as if it was blown apart by something.

He was surprised in his heart. This was just a casual punch from him. If he had used all his strength, it would have been even more terrifying.

However, Tanjiro Kamado also sensed that his internal energy had been almost consumed, with only a trace still flowing.

"It's just that you have just cultivated your internal strength. In the next period of time, I will adjust your training plan. The next period is the golden period for the growth of internal strength."

Lin Yu said.

Tanjiro Kamado's heart skipped a beat. He felt that things would definitely get harder in the future, but he had no intention of refusing. Instead, he was excited because he was slowly becoming stronger.

Because every progress he made brought him one step closer to revenge.

After that, Tanjiro Kamado started into crazy training again.

In order to train his opponent, Lin Yu proposed a new method, which was to let his opponent circulate his internal energy while punching underwater.

At first, Tanjiro Kamado could only stay in the water for a maximum of one minute before he had to leave the water because his internal energy was exhausted.

However, he was also pleasantly surprised to find that every time he consumed his internal energy, it would increase a little.

This change also allows him to stay in the water for a second longer each time.

Another half a year passed, and Tanjiro Kamado was already able to stay in the water for half an hour and use his internal energy to complete a set of boxing.

At this time, Lin Yu proposed a new way - swinging the knife in the cold pond.

When one applies internal energy to external objects, it is consumed very quickly. And when swinging a knife in icy water, the speed at which internal energy is consumed returns to when one first began practicing underwater punching.

This time, although the growth rate of internal strength did not change, the time that Tanjiro Kamado stayed in the cold pond increased slowly.

It was not until a year later that Tanjiro Kamado was able to reproduce in the water the sword-swinging speed he had demonstrated on the shore a year ago.

Lin Yu was somewhat dissatisfied with this, but Tanjiro Kamado knew that he had grown a lot.

If he can swing the knife at such a speed underwater, he can definitely swing it at an even faster speed on shore.

On this day, Tanjiro Kamado was training with his sword in the cold pond again.

His training was nearing the end at this time. With the final swing of the knife, the internal force in his body was also poured out.

Boom!
The cold pond, which had been calm till now, suddenly made a muffled sound, and then the whole cold pond seemed to be boiling, with countless undercurrents surging, causing the surrounding fish and shrimp to temporarily faint and float to the surface.

Tanjiro Kamado also rushed out of the water and salvaged all the fish and shrimps, intending to hand them over to Urokodaki Sakonji later.

As his internal strength increased, his appetite became bigger and bigger.

The amount of food eaten already surprised Urokodaki Sakonji.

Tanjiro Kamado couldn't help laughing whenever he thought of the surprised expression of the always serious Urokodaki Sakonji.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and skillfully returned to the wooden house at the foot of the mountain.

But when he opened the door, he saw Urokodaki Sakonji kneeling in front of the fireplace in the room, the Tengu mask on his face looking extremely majestic.

In the past two years of getting along with Urokodaki Sakonji, he has worn his mask less and less. Today, he put on the Tengu mask so seriously that Tanjiro Kamado immediately sensed something.

"I'm back, sit down."

When Urokodaki Sakonji's calm voice was heard, Tanjiro Kamado quickly put away the fish and shrimp he had caught, and quickly sat down opposite Urokodaki Sakonji.

Urokodaki Sakonji looked at Tanjiro Kamado with complicated eyes.

He originally thought that after two years of growth, Tanjiro Kamado's stature would become more exaggerated, but a year and a half ago, his stature began to shrink, and finally grew into the stature of a young boy that could be seen everywhere on the street.

Although it is not as explosive as before, seeing Tanjiro Kamado's body makes one feel perfect.

And it was at that time that he felt that the young man's strength was unfathomable.

I guess the boy is even stronger now, and perhaps even at his peak he is no longer a match for Tanjiro Kamado.

However, after spending such a long time together, in addition to the fact that the other party's strength often surprised him, he also liked the boy in front of him more and more.

Tanjiro Kamado has the heart of a young boy. He will stick to what he believes in. He is also very talented and sincere to others.

Does such a being really want to join the Demon Slayer Corps?

Urokodaki Sakonji couldn't help but have such doubts in his mind.

Although Urokodaki Sakonji felt that Tanjiro Kamado was extremely powerful, the strength of the evil spirit was definitely not to be underestimated.

If Tanjiro Kamado insists on fighting the evil spirit, he will inevitably face the risk of death in the future.

But he knew even more clearly how determined Tanjiro Kamado was to seek revenge.

After all, the reason why Tanjiro Kamado insisted on training so hard was because he wanted revenge and found a way to heal his sister.

For this purpose, he specially asked Tanjiro Kamado to participate in the selection of Demon Slayer Corps members in the second year.

But when the moment really came, Urokodaki Sakonji still had such hesitation.

"What's wrong? Mr. Urokodaki, is there something wrong?"

Seeing that Urokodaki Sakonji was slow to speak, Tanjiro Kamado couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Urokodaki Sakonji no longer hesitated and nodded.

"Yes, I should have told you before that if you want to join the Demon Slayer Corps, you need to participate in the selection, right?"

Tanjiro Kamado nodded and said:

"Yes, is that time approaching?" "Yes, now is the time to tell you what the specific test is like."

Urokodaki Sakonji spoke slowly. He was not a man who was indecisive. Once he made a decision, he would certainly do it.

So for the next period of time, he described in detail the selection of prospective members of the Demon Slayer Corps going to Wisteria Mountain.

"I know you are very powerful, but demons are also very powerful. Not to mention the Demon King who is your enemy, there is no record of killing the six upper-rank demons in the history of the Demon Slayer Corps. On the contrary, the strongest swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps in each generation, the Pillar, has died many times at the hands of demons suspected to be upper-rank."

Having said this, Urokodaki Sakonji paused for a moment, and after seeing that Kamado Tanjiro did not show any fear, he slowly spoke:

"I tell you this because I want you to know that you are also at risk of falling. So even if this is the case, do you still want to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

"Yes, this is a cause I will complete even if it costs me my life."

Without any hesitation, Tanjiro Kamado spoke firmly.

Although Urokodaki Sakonji had expected this, he remained silent for a while.

Finally he sighed and said:
"Well, in fact, with your strength, you could have participated in the selection of Wisteria Mountain last year. But after such a long time together, I know that you are determined to kill ghosts, so it's time for you to participate in the selection this year."

Tanjiro Kamado was a little excited when he heard this:
"Does this mean that I can finally take part in the ghost-killing operation?"

After he cultivated his inner strength and was able to successfully perform a set of boxing techniques underwater, he wanted to kill ghosts very early.

After all, on the way to Narrow Mist Mountain, he would go for actual combat every day, but in the past two years he has basically had no actual combat, and every day is boring training.

Even though Tanjiro Kamado knew that all this was done to make him stronger, he still couldn't suppress the urge to kill the evil spirit.

However, since Urokodaki Sakonji did not ask him to go down the mountain, he naturally would not go down.

Who knew that this wait would last a whole year.

But now, Urokodaki Sakonji finally agreed to let him go down the mountain.

How could this not excite him.

"Yes, but before that, I want to witness your strength with my own eyes."

Urokodaki Sakonjimichi.

Ever since he was completely unable to see through Tanjiro Kamado's strength a year and a half ago, he has not had a complete concept of Tanjiro Kamado's strength. Now is the time to test how strong Tanjiro Kamado is.

After all, he had never seen Tanjiro Kamado's full strength with his own eyes, which made Urokodaki Sakonji feel a little uneasy.

"Of course no problem, Mr. Urokodaki, how would you like to test it?"

Tanjiro Kamado nodded, somewhat impatiently.

"Come with me."

Urokodaki Sakonji stood up and walked out of the room.

Tanjiro Kamado followed.

The two of them moved skillfully across the Narrow Mist Mountain and soon arrived in front of a huge rock that was two people tall.

There was a thick rope tied to the boulder, and the surface of the boulder was covered with scars and moss, full of mottled traces of time.

"This is the largest rock on Mt. Narrow Mist. Use your sword skills on it. If you can cut it in one stroke, I will allow you to participate in the selection."

Urokodaki Sakonji pointed at the huge rock.

Tanjiro Kamado nodded and drew out the samurai sword from his waist.

He stared at the boulder in front of him, opened his mouth slightly, and a large amount of air was rushing into his lungs.

The internal force in his body began to boil at this moment, flowing through his body, quickly gathering in his hands, and then all of it was infused into the samurai sword.

When Tanjiro Kamado felt that the samurai sword could no longer withstand his internal force, he took a step forward, his fingers trembling slightly, and slashed down with the sword.

Urokodaki Sakonji was completely stunned. In that moment just now, he didn't see Tanjiro Kamado's movements clearly. He didn't know when the other party swung the sword, nor did he know when the blade in his hand fell.

From one point of view, Tanjiro Kamado is very strong, but the problem is that the huge rock in front of Tanjiro Kamado is completely motionless!

Did it cut through the air?

"you……"

Just as Urokodaki Sakonji opened his mouth, he suddenly heard a series of tiny sounds.

Then he saw the boulder trembling, and after a click, it split into two halves and fell on the ground on both sides. The cross-section was extremely smooth.

Not only that, Urokodaki Sakonji also saw a long trace behind the fracture.

The earth seemed to be cut in half by a sword, and the fog and trees behind were all split in two, and the distance was as much as five meters!

Urokodaki Sakonji's pupils shrank into the shape of needles and he was extremely shocked.

Is this still a human's slash?

He thought to himself that he could cut a huge rock with one sword, but it was impossible for him to extend it to such a long distance like Tanjiro Kamado.

Has Tanjiro Kamado grown to this point?
Urokodaki Sakonji glanced at Tanjiro Kamado who had already put away his sword and found that he looked extremely relaxed and indifferent.

If I'm not mistaken, the other party didn't use his full strength at all.

This young man has completely grown to a point that he cannot understand.

The shock in Urokodaki Sakonji's heart faded away, but a sense of heroism suddenly arose.

He had a feeling that if Tanjiro Kamado appeared in front of those ghosts now, he would definitely become their nightmare.

If it were Tanjiro Kamado, it would be possible for him to kill those upper-rank monsters.

"How about it?"

Tanjiro Kamado asked.

"Very good. Rather, it has exceeded my expectations. Let's set off for Wisteria Mountain in a month."

Urokodaki Sakonji nodded and left with satisfaction.

There was no longer any doubt in his mind.

At this moment, Tanjiro Kamado also wanted to go back with Urokodaki Sakonji to have dinner, but he suddenly stopped.

Because in his mind, Lin Yu's scolding voice came:
"Just now you clearly just wanted to chop the boulder with one sword, why did you use more strength? Doing this will only make you consume more internal energy in the battle, this is absolutely not okay..."

Tanjiro Kamado paused with an awkward look in his eyes, listening to Lin Yu's scolding.

He tried hard to remember every word of Lin Yu's reprimand.

After so long, he already knew that Lin Yu had never made a mistake in what he said. (End of this chapter)
