"Knives break easily. Although they can withstand vertical force, they are difficult to withstand horizontal force. When using a knife, you must apply force in a straight line, and the direction of the blade must be consistent with the direction of the swing. Any slight inconsistency will cause the force of the knife to decrease, or even break the blade."
As he spoke, Urokodaki easily sliced the wooden stake in front of him in two with his sword.
Don't underestimate the difficulty of cutting through a wooden stake. After seeing Urokodaki's demonstration, Tanjiro couldn't wait to try it himself, but the blade didn't cut through the stake; instead, it got stuck on the outside of the stake.
Although Tanjiro is very strong, it's useless if he doesn't master the technique. Besides, Tanjiro is genuinely afraid that he might accidentally break the sword.
Urokodaki was not surprised, but criticism and education were still necessary. While Urokodaki was educating Tanjiro, Chinatsu held the sword that Urokodaki had given her after he finished demonstrating how to cut the wooden stake. She turned her head and focused her gaze on the wooden stake that Tanjiro had cut.
With a loud "whoosh!", the wooden stake was cleaved in two. One piece slowly rolled to the ground. Tanjiro and Urokodaki, upon hearing the sound, stiffly turned their heads to look at Chinatsu.
"Sister... how did you do that...?"
"Uh, you... you did it just like that?"
Chika blinked awkwardly. In fact, the moment she gripped the knife, she had a strange feeling. Following her instincts, Chika decided to give it a try, and the result was beyond her expectations.
After a moment of thought, Chinatsu had a look of sudden realization. She looked seriously at the stunned Tanjiro and Urokodaki and said, "Well! A kitchen knife is still a knife! Although this is the first time I've held a knife like this, don't I carry a kitchen knife every day?!"
Chika's First Theory: A kitchen knife is still a knife!
Urokodaki was speechless upon hearing this theory. Although a kitchen knife is a knife, that doesn't mean that knowing how to use a kitchen knife means you can use a traditional knife.
Urokodaki was speechless, but Tanjiro beside him had an "I see" look on his face, his thought process connecting with Chinatsu's.
"Oh yeah! A kitchen knife is still a knife, and you're really good with a kitchen knife, sister!" Tanjiro explained to himself with a gleam in his eyes.
In the Kamado family, because the father was in poor health and died young, the mother and the older children in the family began to understand and handle housework at a very young age.
Nezuko was responsible for taking care of the younger children and doing some needlework, Tanjiro was responsible for chopping wood and assisting his mother with some household chores, while Chinatsu picked up a kitchen knife early on and became the head of the kitchen.
Tanjiro had once witnessed his sister's knife skills in the kitchen, which were nothing short of miraculous. Tanjiro connected his knife skills with swordsmanship, and suddenly it didn't seem so strange.
Tanjiro gripped the blade of his sword tightly, thinking that since his sister had succeeded, he had to succeed as soon as possible.
In the original story, Tanjiro spent two years learning all of Urokodaki's lessons in the mountains, but now, with Chinatsu's presence, Tanjiro has gained an extra layer of super-powerful motivation compared to the original story.
Let's put in a little more effort!
Nezuko is asleep, Tanjiro is going all out, and Chinatsu is still exploring the mysteries of her own body.
Although she is no longer able to use a wheelchair, Chinatsu still uses it from time to time. Corresponding to the inexplicable talent of this body, Chinatsu gets tired more easily than ordinary people.
This must be what is called "equivalent exchange".
Chinatsu is also training in Water Breathing. Some people might ask why she doesn't directly train in Hinokami Kagura. There's a reason for that.
The "power" of Hinokami Kagura is far, far stronger than that of Water Breathing. Even Tanjiro, who had trained for two years and joined the Demon Slayer Corps to successfully kill several low-level demons, would feel extremely uncomfortable and kneel down on the spot after using Hinokami Kagura to swing his sword a few times.
If you don't have a solid foundation, directly practicing the Fire God Kagura is like forcing yourself to use a high-level skill when your level is too low. Whether you can even use it is questionable, and you'll also lose health like crazy.
Water Breathing is one of the five basic breathing techniques under the Origin Breathing. Its characteristics are comprehensive attributes and gentle breathing. Among the five basic breathing techniques, it is the type that is easy to learn. A large number of people in the Demon Slayer Corps use Water Breathing.
First Form: Water Surface Slash
Type II: Waterwheel
The Third Form: Flowing Dance
Type Four: Striking Tide
The Fifth Type: The Compassionate Rain of the Dry Sky
Sixth Form: Twisted Vortex
Seventh Form: Shizuku Ripple Strike
Eighth type: Takitsubo
Type Nine: Water Flow and Spray - Chaos
The Tenth Form: Continuous Flow of Life
From a swordsmanship perspective, these ten moves are truly comprehensive, including the movement-oriented "Water Flow and Spray Chaos," the saintly "Heavenly Compassionate Rain," and the "Life Flow" which can achieve the underdog's victory, and so on.
Chinatsu studied diligently, and when she finally mastered it, she was shocked—it really could spray out "water"...
Okay, after careful observation, I found that this is not real water, but sword energy that is like water, a manifestation of sword energy.
If Water Breathing could truly expel water, Fire Breathing could truly expel fire, and Thunder Breathing could truly generate thunder, then the true value of these breathing techniques would probably go far beyond simply exterminating demons…
As time passed day by day, the two people's cultivation speed far exceeded his expectations, disrupting the original plan and forcing him to frequently revise it.
night.
Qianxia lay on the bed, quietly staring at the ceiling in the room. She slowly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. As expected, she dreamed again of the same dream she had had countless times since she transmigrated.
After Tanjiro left, the Kamado family continued to live their lives peacefully as usual.
My mother is gentle and virtuous.
Nezuko was also a lady of her generation.
Although Takeo, Shigeru, Rokuta, and Hanako are still young and have a mischievous side, they don't cause any trouble for others and are not unruly children.
Chika stood in the kitchen, examining the ingredients in her hands, wondering how to make the food taste even better.
Just as Chika decided to start cooking, there was a knock on the door.
Who is it?
"It's definitely not my brother, he just went out."
"I'll open the door! I'll open the door!"
"Takeo, slow down, slow down."
Takeo rushed to the front door, and his mother, Kamado Aoi, quickly got up to see who was knocking.
With a "click," Takeo opened the door, and a man dressed in a black suit who looked like Michael Jackson appeared in the doorway.
Hello everyone~
