Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

For Lin Guang, this kind of day had really been a long time since he had experienced it. The last time he had experienced such a day was hundreds of years ago, which he couldn't even count.

The location is also on the mountain, the difference is that the teacher at that time was the Upper One of the Twelve Demon Moons instead of the trainer of the Demon Slayer Corps.

And Kokushibo never trains him during the day.

Urokodaki was somewhat surprised when he learned about his strange disease that prevented him from sun exposure, but after a basic examination of his body, he actually reached a general agreement with those doctors who said that he would not live long. The only difference was that his current health was only superficial, and in fact his body organs were not enough to support him to live for many years.

But the difference is that Urokodaki did not suggest that he just rest, but firmly believed that he should train and devote his limited life to more valuable things.

Even though Rinkou never said that he wanted to join the Demon Slayer Corps, Urokodaki still firmly formulated a training plan for him.

It is basically the same as the real wild rice, the only difference is that the location is away from the top of the mountain where it will be exposed to the sun.

The forest was full of traps. The man took him up the mountain at nightfall, telling him to return at least before sunrise. Lin Guang didn't know if such traps would be considered a test for others, but for him, it really did feel like a game.

Most traps can be seen through by the naked eye. Even if they cannot be seen through, Lingguang's reaction is enough for him to avoid the flying wood. Even if he falls into a pit, he will adjust his posture in the first time to ensure a safe landing, and then jump out of the hole easily. The way down the mountain is much easier than going up the mountain. Lingguang happily completed a little adventure smoothly.

When Urokita saw him appear in front of the door covered in dust, he was stunned for a few seconds, then he looked at the mountain behind him, and then lowered his head to look at him.

"How did you come back?"

"Just follow the slope of the mountain down, avoid any traps you step on, climb out if you fall into a pit, and just follow that path all the way down."

There was no trace of embarrassment on Lingguang's face. Apart from some dirt on his body, he looked almost the same. His expression was relaxed, his tone was light, and he even looked a little happy. He looked like he wanted to do it again.

Urokotaki squatted down and took a quick look at Rinkou's body. There was really not a single scar on his body, not even the slightest scratch, only a little dust on his body.

What an unexpected discovery...

"Have you ever tried swinging a knife?"

It may seem inappropriate for a child to ask such a question, but it is also inappropriate for a teacher to see a talented person right in front of him and not provide guidance.

"In the past, I did learn a little from an elder... but because it was too horrible, they gave up."

Lin Guang scratched his cheek lightly with his fingers, his eyes drifting to the side. All he could recall in his head was Kokushibo's face, which never had any expression, except for the frown on his face when he watched him swing his sword, and then Ai Jue's sympathetic look when he saw him raise his spear.

Later, he did learn martial arts from Akaza, but...Rinko still clearly remembered the disgust on Akaza's face that was much stronger than Kokushibo's.

"Give it a try. Let me see how your foundation is."

As Urokodaki said this, he took out a Nichirin sword from the house and handed it to him.

“It might be different from what you’re used to.”

The long sword changed hands, and Rinkou weighed it gently, finding it no different from what he remembered. Urokodaki probably wouldn't have guessed he'd been practicing with the Demon Slayer Corps' standard Nichirin sword... And in the small pot that Urokodaki had stored away, there were even a number of blades belonging to Demon Slayer Corps members. If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be a very complete sword that once belonged to the Water Pillar.

It’s best not to talk about this kind of thing.

Rinkou drew the sword from its sheath. Although the last time he formally practiced holding a sword was many years ago, Kokushibo's teachings at that time were truly unforgettable. Rinkou's mind might not remember every detail, but his body still retained some instincts left over from that time. When his hand grasped the hilt of the sword, he knew how to grip it, how to swing it, and how to exert force with his body.

The target before him was easily cut down. Lin Guang himself was a little surprised that he succeeded on his first try. But then he recalled that his physical fitness had improved a lot since playing with Hantengou and the others every day. He even used Hantengou's head as a practice target...

It didn't seem strange that only a wooden target was chopped off.

"Oh......"

Lin Guang didn't understand swordsmanship, so he didn't know what he was learning, and at this time he didn't know his own strengths and weaknesses.

Urokodaki was different. He had been using a sword for so many years that he could tell the strength of a swordsman just by looking at his movements, not to mention that there was a target in front of him that clearly demonstrated the power of the blade wielded by the opponent.

"You have a great teacher."

"If we're just talking about teachers, he's probably the best in the world!"

Linguang raised his head and looked at Urokodaki, his face showing undisguised pride and joy.

"But as a student he taught, I really don't have the face to call him teacher."

The boy tilted his head again, and the expression on his face became a little more complicated.

"No. You're doing very well. Your basic skills are very solid. It seems that you can start practicing right away without any problems."

An ordinary swing can actually reveal a lot of problems. The posture, movement, angle of force and final strength when exerting force, every detail has an impact on the final result. The boy in front of him has undoubtedly received real sword training and was educated by very outstanding people. Lin Guang does not look very old, but he received education when he was even younger. The fact that he can teach a child so well shows that the other party is indeed a powerful person.

Urokodaki found a few more targets for Rinkou to demonstrate to, and the latter successfully cut them off with one stroke. And it was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the chops mostly tended to the neck, as if he was aiming to chop off the head with one stroke.

After testing Rinkou's basic skills with these, Urokodaki still tried to test Rinkou's reaction according to the rules. Surprisingly, Rinkou's reaction ability was better than he expected, so good that it seemed abnormal.

Sometimes, even very subtle or quick movements would be avoided accurately by the opponent, as if the opponent could see through what he wanted to do.

And as far as the habit of dodging is concerned, Rinkou's dodging speed is too fast. Not only does he dodge quickly, but he also dodges far away. Habits come from the living environment, and such habits make Urokodaki wonder whether Rinkou has ever faced enemies whose attacks are faster, farther, and more widespread.

But ordinary humans probably can't do this...

Would anyone use breathing techniques to train a child?

Such a thought only briefly appeared in Urokodaki's mind and was quickly erased. Not to mention that there were only a limited number of swordsmen who knew breathing techniques, and even fewer who were strong enough to do so. Just talking about those swordsmen who knew breathing techniques, they would never show their blades to a child, let alone use breathing techniques as a practice object.

Maybe Lin Guang is more cautious.

Although Urokodaki himself didn't quite believe this reason.
