Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

Urokodaki Sakonji looked at Ke Ling and, through his observation over the past two or three days, discovered that Ke Ling possessed the potential to learn water breathing.

The training period before formally teaching breathing techniques is actually a kind of assessment for the children.

Attitude during training and personality in daily life are both factors that need to be considered comprehensively.

Of course, it doesn't mean that if your personality doesn't meet the requirements, you will be eliminated and completely lose the qualification to practice breathing techniques.

If one breathing method is not suitable, there are other schools of thought to choose from; not every method is necessarily unsuitable.

A person who is enthusiastic, cheerful, and whose heart burns like a flame may not be able to practice the Water Breathing Technique, but is well-suited to practice the Fire Breathing Technique.

Those with exceptional physical abilities, boundless passion, and lightning-fast speed are suited to practice Thunder Breathing.

Those who hate evil and have a temperament as restless as a raging storm can practice the Breath of Wind.

Those who are diligent, persevering, and have a will as firm as a rock can practice the Breath of Rock.

Of course, if your personality doesn't match, then there's nothing you can do but be eliminated.

The five basic breathing styles vary in difficulty, but only water breathing and wind breathing are most suitable for ordinary people to learn, and their requirements are easier to meet.

To learn the Breath of Flame, one must not only have a heart as sincere as fire, but also gain the approval of the Rengoku family, as the Breath of Flame has been passed down through generations of the Rengoku family.

To learn Thunder Breathing is not only difficult, but the physical requirements alone can eliminate a large number of people.

Needless to say, Rock Breathing is the most difficult breathing technique to master among the five basic breathing styles.

Compared to explosive physical abilities, people who are hardworking, persevering, and have an unwavering will are even more rare.

"So that's it."

Ke Ling nodded. No wonder they say water breathing is the easiest to master.

Compared to the breathing of the wind, a person with a calm and focused mind is obviously more likely to engage in spiritual practice than a person with an impatient temperament.

"Actually, given your personality, besides Water Breathing, Rock Breathing would also be very suitable for you, but I can't teach you that."

Urokodaki Sakonji was very frank. If he had to say, Ke Ling's personality was best suited to practicing Rock Breathing.

Needless to say, Ke Ling is hardworking and persevering. Even if one's body doesn't get tired, there aren't many people who can cultivate like Ke Ling, day and night without stopping for a moment.

With unwavering willpower, Ke Ling, as a demon, was able to refrain from eating humans and instead feed on his own flesh and blood, which goes beyond the description of unwavering willpower alone.

"No, I'll still follow you and practice the Breathing of Water."

Ke Ling shook his head. After Urokodaki Sakonji said that, he also realized that the most suitable breathing techniques for him to practice were probably water breathing and rock breathing.

If I had to name a few, he could be considered a practitioner of Thunder Breathing. His physical abilities definitely meet the requirements, and as for being passionate, he sometimes lets his rationality cloud his judgment and indulge in a burst of passion.

As for the Breath of Wind and the Breath of Flame, he didn't consider himself to be far from being someone who hated evil and couldn't tolerate any injustice, nor did he think that his heart was as sincere as fire.

But having said all that, there is one crucial question: Urokodaki Sakonji is only skilled in Water Breathing.

If he wants to learn other breathing techniques, he'll have to find someone else to learn from.

For other children, this is nothing special; it's simply a matter of "transferring to another school" and learning from other mentors.

But for Ke Ling, this was a real problem, because not every breeder has a nose like Urokodaki Sakonji.

How could such a conspicuous ghost gain the trust of those who had retired after killing ghosts their whole lives, or those who had retired due to disabilities caused by killing ghosts?

Based solely on Urokodaki Sakonji's introduction? That's highly unreliable.

It's better to stay and learn Water Breathing honestly, and see if Tanjiro Kamado really knows the Initial Breathing technique.

"it is good."

Urokodaki Sakonji was not surprised by this.

This is also why he believes Ke Ling is suitable for practicing water breathing; when faced with problems, this child is able to think calmly.

Friendly reminder: there's less than a month until Chinese New Year. I just realized today, no wonder things have suddenly gotten so hectic these past few days—it really is almost the end of the year!

Chapter 74 Waterfalls are great; they're indispensable for cultivation.

"Relax your upper body, keep your lower body still, and breathe."

Urokodaki Sakonji stood beside Ke Ling and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Whoosh~~~ Pfft!"

Ke Ling had only taken a half breath when Urokodaki Sakonji slapped him in the stomach, and the heavy blow made it impossible for him to continue breathing.

"If the process of breathing can be easily interrupted by an attack of this magnitude, then ten lives wouldn't be enough when facing a demon."

Urokodaki Sakonji shook his head. Even demons with strong physical abilities need to undergo rigorous training to master the secrets of breathing techniques.

This is no easy task; it goes against nature and confronts the very instincts of the human body.

"Come again."

Ke Ling was not discouraged. He was not a genius. Although his learning ability was not bad, it was far from beyond his comprehension.

The breathing technique was described in a very abstract way by Urokodaki Sakonji. He hadn't even touched the threshold of the beginner's level yet, and was currently just "dry breathing".

Perhaps we should invest more in intelligence; maybe with higher intelligence, our ability to understand these mystical and abstract statements will improve.

Ke Ling thought to himself that, based on his years of gaming experience, intelligence, perception, and so on should be linked to the mystical side, and even charm could be linked to the mystical side.

It's a pity that his intelligence and perception are no different from before; he's just an ordinary person, and his charm has even declined as a result.

"Feel it, feel it with your heart, let your breath flow like water into your limbs and bones, into every cell."

Urokodaki Sakonji was beside Ke Ling, disrupting her breathing rhythm while uttering incomprehensible words.

"Let your breath flow like a gentle stream, unstoppable by thunder, rain, wind, snow, or frost."

Urokodaki Sakonji kept patting Ke Ling's abdomen, causing Ke Ling to choke several times. It was really hard for Ke Ling to bear it.

But that's not the worst part; Ke Ling will gradually get used to it. The most crucial thing is that Ke Ling really doesn't understand these tricks! She just doesn't understand them!

Ke Ling cried out in her heart, "Isn't this just a normal inhalation and exhalation?!"

Where is the water flow?! How exactly can I create a water flow effect?!

Unfortunately, this explanation is too abstract to understand; one can only grasp the literal meaning.

"It seems I still need to take you to experience real water flow."

Urokodaki Sakonji naturally noticed Ke Ling's struggle, but he wasn't surprised. Few people can grasp the key point right away.

He already has a mature teaching system for teaching how to feel the "breath of water" and stabilize one's own breath.

"Come with me."

Urokodaki Sakonji led the way, taking Ke Ling into "Mount Sagiri".

The two continued on their way and came to a waterfall. "Xiawu Mountain" was very tall and steep, and the waterfall was naturally very fast-flowing.

The rumbling sound was like the roar of a mountain god, which was very awe-inspiring.

Japan's terrain is high in the middle and low around the edges, and its rivers are mostly short and fast-flowing, making waterfalls very common. However, this waterfall is clearly not one of those small waterfalls that can be found everywhere.

Here it comes! Here it comes! The classic waterfall training session!

Upon seeing the waterfall, Ke Ling immediately began to think to himself, "What is this called? 'Classics will live on forever'?"

Is a waterfall some kind of special terrain? Does it come with a power-boosting effect? ​​It seems like you can add this element to any training session.

"Go, feel the water flow, become one with the water."

Without explaining, Urokodaki Sakonji simply told Ke Ling to stand under the waterfall to receive his "baptism".

Ke Ling really wants to ask, do you call this kind of waterfall "water flow"?

But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem wrong. Isn't this waterfall just a larger and thicker version of "water flow"?

But is this kind of training really effective? Ke Ling wondered.

Actually, this is essentially weight training, right? Weight training with many uncontrollable factors.

Despite her doubts, Ke Ling obediently entered the water to try it out first.

Fortunately, waterproofing is the most basic function of the prosthetic body; otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to practice water breathing.

"Boom!!!"

The rushing water plunges down, and the terrifying impact brings a tremendous sense of oppression—this is the power of nature.

Even with Ke Ling's superhuman physique, it took him a while to adapt before he could firmly hold his ground under the waterfall.

The impact of this waterfall is not like a shower or bath; the rushing water pelts you head-on, creating a powerful impact.

In addition, the foothold is constantly eroded by the water flow, making it extremely slippery. It is indeed difficult for inexperienced people to stand firmly under the waterfall.

"Only with reverence can one perform purification rituals; only by purifying the mind can one remove worldly dust."

Urokodaki Sakonji stood on the cliff and spoke loudly.

His voice sounded somewhat erratic as it penetrated the rumbling water and reached Ke Ling's ears.

“Turning can purify and cleanse sins, allowing people to abandon distracting thoughts and achieve unity of body and soul.”

Urokodaki Sakonji's voice kept coming, elusive and indistinct, like celestial music.

Ke Ling stood motionless beneath the waterfall, constantly adjusting her breathing.

"Walking by the river allows one to experience harmony with nature, establish connections with the myriad phenomena of the world, and achieve unity between humanity and nature."

The roaring sound of water echoed in Ke Ling's ears, and in his world, it seemed that there were no other noises.

Urokodaki Sakonji watched from the edge of the cliff. Water breathing is a way for believers of mountain spirits to communicate with the gods and remove all distracting thoughts, which is perfect for water breathing.

Believers believe that as long as you are sincere, the plants, streams, and rocks in the mountains will help you.

Whether he received any help or not, Ke Ling didn't know; the sound of the waterfall was too loud, and he couldn't hear what Urokodaki Sakonji was muttering at all.

Even if he heard it clearly, he would not take it seriously. He was an "exam theist," only firmly believing in the existence of gods when the results were released.

At other times, these so-called gods and spirits are nothing more than phenomena that natural science cannot yet explain, and life forms that humans cannot yet comprehend.

But beneath this waterfall, Ke Ling was indeed very focused and concentrated, eliminating all distractions.

Following Urokodaki Sakonji's instructions, he repeatedly inhaled and exhaled, experiencing the feeling of letting his breath permeate every cell.
