Unlike the previous feeling, after becoming Kuwashima Jigoro's disciple, Xiaohao had never felt that time passed so slowly.

Just like an executioner would chop winter melons to practice basic skills, as a disciple of Jigoro Kuwashima and a future candidate of the Demon Slayer Corps, the only thing Xiaohao can do every day is to swing the sword, and he has been doing this without fail for six years.

And it was not the casualness of cutting rapeseed flowers, but the actual practice of the basic skills of kendo.

Tangzhu (straight chop at the head), kasaya chop (right oblique cut), reverse kasaya chop (left oblique cut), left horizontal cut, right horizontal cut, left cut up, right cut up, against the wind (from bottom to top), stab.

When the simple and unpretentious actions are repeated enough times, the rest is left to feeling. The process is just like memorizing words and taking CET-4 or CET-6.

No matter whether it is Zhang Sirui or Xiaohao, as a qualified social animal, they have never experienced such boring physical movements, the soreness that penetrates deep into the muscles and embeds into the soul. Even though Zhang Sirui is just integrating the memories, he can still empathize with them, and the two can resonate through pain.

There is no doubt that that period was the most painful time for Xiaohao both physically and mentally, but it was also his most exciting moment.

Perhaps it was because Sun Breathing was the origin of all breathing techniques. After professional training, the chasm that once existed between us disappeared silently.

After each completed slash, the trumpet could clearly feel that he was getting stronger, from taking a hundred moves to defeat Xiyue before, to fifty moves, thirty moves, ten moves, and one move later, until finally Xiyue lost the qualification to be a unit of measurement.

Six years later, when the annual Demon Slayer Corps assessment came again, Xiaohao was able to graduate successfully and embarked on the assessment journey of Fujikiyama.

This trip is like a latent dragon emerging from the abyss; this trip is like a fierce tiger emerging from the mountain! Whether it is the Hundred-armed demon living in Fujixi Mountain or the Lower Moon Demon who is making trouble in secret, when they encounter Xiaohao, they will only face death. With Xiaohao's drastic actions, not only the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, but even Muzan Kibutsuji has shown some interest in him.

As the saying goes, when you hold a weapon, the desire to kill arises. The blade of the wheel knife kept shining that day. No matter whether it was Xiaohao or Zhang Sirui who had integrated his memories at this time, a surge of murderous energy began to gather in their chests.

The meaning of life, the definition of good and evil, in this world, everything seems so clear, yet so vague.

Zhang Sirui has always been a low-key person, and calls himself Old Coin. After all, when he was playing Chicken in his previous life, he also liked to wear a ghillie suit and ambush, and surprise the opponent at the critical moment. He didn't want to kill the thief, but wanted to make him shout "Fuck".

Perhaps in his heart, this is already an old coin, and the small coin projected into this world naturally inherits this characteristic perfectly.

According to Xiaohao's original idea, he would never come out until he was invincible. For a qualified old coin, there was nothing wrong with having such an idea.

But after embarking on the path of training, when Ubuyashiki Kōya came to him with the Demon Slayer Corps uniform of Thunder Pillar, Xiaohao realized how naive his previous thoughts were.

Whether it is the Demon Slayer world or other worlds, whether or not it involves a supernatural power system, there is a concept of cultivation. Before coming into contact with this path, Xiaohao only thought that cultivation was meditation, chanting, and collecting incense money... ahem... But after really getting started, he realized how superficial he was.

In short, spiritual practice is a process of hiding, and the ultimate goal of hiding is to seek transcendence and the true self! In the eyes of humans, ghosts eating people is a sin; in the eyes of ghosts, people killing ghosts is evil, so I would like to ask, who is right and who is wrong in this matter?

Do we need to put ourselves in other people 's shoes again? Do we need to hold a debate again? Do we need to argue with each other again? As human beings, this is indeed the way it should be. Apart from Zhuangzi's compassion, we are flowers cultivated by dialectics after all. How can we not have a little love? Moreover, aren't ghosts also transformed from humans?

But once one embarks on the path of spiritual practice and enters the Dao through martial arts, when the concepts of life and death and good and evil are redefined, what remains is no longer the entanglement of interests, but the opportunity for transcendence and the desire of the true self.

In short, your existence blocks my path to transcendence. If I don't kill you, my thoughts won't flow!

Or, if I kill you, what does it have to do with you? In this world, when Xiaohao chooses to wear the uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps and the feathered garment belonging to the Lightning Pillar, his path to transcendence has taken on a completely new characterization. Whether it is by poison, trickery, or knife, evil spirits should not continue to exist, and Muzan should not be alive.

This path seems a bit too extreme, but unfortunately, people with different paths cannot work together! At the age of 15, Xiaohao passed the Fujishi Mountain Trial, killed the evil ghost Hundred Hands, and officially joined the Demon Slayer Corps as an Aoi-level member.

In the same year, while on a mission, he passed by Spider Mountain and killed the Lower Moon Five - Rui. Since then, he perfected the Breathing of Lightning, and initially mastered the Breathing of Sun, comprehended all the techniques, and was promoted to the Lightning Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps.

At the age of 16, he took the Infinite Train and killed Nightmare. When he got off the train, he happened to meet the Upper Three - Akaza. The man and the ghost felt that they had met too late. They drank and talked happily until dawn. For a while, they became each other's confidants. Akaza's story was very touching, and Xiaohao listened very seriously, but he did not hesitate at all when he swung the knife to chop off the other's head. That year, Xiaohao successfully awakened the transparent world.

At the age of 17, he traveled through the red-light district; in the same year, with the help of the flower-style butterfly Kanae, he challenged the Eternal Paradise Sect, beheaded the second upper rank - Douma, mastered the skills of the red sword, and opened the markings.

At the age of 18, he joined forces with Tamayo and started the Infinite Castle War ahead of time. With the help of Sun Breathing, he used poison and sunlight to completely kill Muzan Kibutsuji. From then on, except Yushiro, no one in the Demon Slayer world is a demon.

At the age of 19, the Demon Slayer Corps disbanded. Xiaohao retired to the mountains and opened a kendo gym. He also married Kanae Kocho. But before he left, he secretly met with Yushiro and forced him to commit suicide. There is no right or wrong in this matter. No one knows about it except those present here.

At the age of 30, although it was no longer used, Xiaohao died young at the age of 30 because of the opening of the stripes.
