As you step into the city, what comes into view is the bustling streets with heavy traffic, men and women in kimonos coming and going, and lanterns of various colors hanging from the beams of the houses on the roadside.

Seiichi Kamiya found a random hotel to stay in. As for money, he stole a lot from those arrogant samurai masters when they passed by.

Sitting cross-legged in the hotel room, Kamiya Seiichi's chest rose and fell rhythmically, and warm air flowed through his internal organs. If there were other people in this room, they would feel the unusual flow of air. The figure sitting in the middle was like a black hole, constantly swallowing the surrounding air, and even the portrait hanging on the side as a decoration was swaying.

"Huh!" Kamiya Seiichi opened his eyes with a calm expression. He was just recalling the various breathing techniques in Demon Slayer and trying to reproduce them. In fact, it was very effective. He could feel that when he entered the breathing state, his physique and perception were greatly enhanced.

Breathing techniques enhance strength in a certain way. If a person's physical strength is 1, amplifying their breathing techniques can increase it to 2. The deeper their study of the breathing techniques, the greater their strength, and the greater the increase, reaching 3, 4, and so on. A truly powerful person might have a physical strength of 3, but after the breathing techniques are enhanced, it would be 6, 9, or 12. Kamiya Seiichi was well aware of this characteristic, so when adding points, he specifically chose Qi and Jing to ensure that breathing techniques and physical strength were simultaneously utilized.

“So what am I breathing?”

Kamiya Qingyi was a little curious, because when he entered the breathing state just now, he didn't feel the characteristics of the attributes, such as the cheerfulness of fire and the gentleness of water. Could it be a brand new breathing method?

At least the panel isn't that ugly anymore!

Seiichi Kamiya pulled out his samurai sword. The sword was quite old and there was even some rust on the blade, but it was still bright overall. He turned the blade and the snow-white blade became extremely sharp.

"Unnamed breathing method - caressing and cutting."

Kamiya Seiichi whispered this, and in a split second, the sword was sheathed, as if it had never been drawn. The house was very quiet, nothing happened, but Kamiya Seiichi smiled with satisfaction.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing." He continued to practice his breathing method, striving to reach the level of Changzhong before the war.

At the same time, at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Tanjiro, who had just completed his mission, met the Sound Pillar. The three little ones and the Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen officially set out for Yukaku.

Several days had already passed in the blink of an eye. It had been quite some time since Kamiya Seiichi arrived at Demon Slayer. Apart from going outside the city during the day to practice his swordsmanship, he spent most of his time practicing his breathing techniques in the house.

He'd unexpectedly left the city at night today because he could sense a breakthrough in his basic swordsmanship. Kamiya Seiichi methodically practiced the basic moves, aligning his breathing with his thrusts, slashing, hacking, and thrusting... Suddenly, he felt a shackle break from his body. His basic swordsmanship went from rigid to varied, his speed increasing. The sword's light enveloped his entire body, leaving no flaws.

"Basic swordsmanship—mastery, achieved." Kamiya Seiichi breathed slowly and sheathed his sword.

“Open the panel.”

"I've reached the next level, yes. With my destructive power, if I let it go, I can easily destroy an entire community."

Seiichi Kamiya was happy about the improvement of his strength, but also warned himself not to be careless.

Entering the rank and not entering the rank are completely different worlds. In Tianshui County Private Junior High School, the first and second ranked people were both at the first rank, so the predecessor knew that he was no match. In Demon Slayer, the first rank is considered to be at the upper rank level. Although the specific level is unknown, it is at least capable of fighting.

There was a rustling sound coming from a distant place. There were four people walking, three of them had heavy footsteps, and one of them had almost no footsteps.

"Master!" Kamiya Seiichi looked in that direction. In the darkness, three figures approached from the end of the road. A strange, pig-headed man strode ahead, followed by a young man with fiery red hair, carrying a wooden box, and a scar on his forehead. Lastly, a young man with golden curly hair and a mournful face, his face weary and filled with sorrow, walked with an odd gait, as if he were a freak.

Obviously, these are the three little ones in Demon Slayer: Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira. The characteristics of these three people are very obvious and it is easy to identify them.

"I'm afraid that's impolite of you."

Kamiya Seiichi turned around and said to Uzui Tengen, who had been standing behind him without him noticing.

Uzui Tengen laughed and patted Kamiya Seiichi's shoulder hard.

“You’re half as gorgeous as I am!”

"What's your name? I'm Uzui Tengen, the god of splendor and ceremony!"

Kamiya Seiichi was a little embarrassed. Although he had known about it for a long time, he still got goose bumps when he saw it with his own eyes. The three little ones who came over from behind also heard it. Zenitsu poked Tanjiro.

"He's embarrassed us. I don't know him."

Tanjiro turned his head with a silly look on his face, "Huh?"

"Hahaha! I am the King of the Mountains—Inosuke!"

The pig-headed boy jumped out from the side and yelled. Uzui Tengen's expression froze.

“I don’t know him.”

"Everyone, my name is Seiichi Kamiya, and I'm a wandering samurai. I saw you all coming over here earlier, and since you all have your own unique characteristics, I couldn't help but observe you. Please forgive my intrusion."

Uzui Tengen stroked his chin, thinking. He seemed genuinely thinking, but Kamiya Seiichi could see his muscles tense, clearly ready for a fight at any moment. This kind of vigilance—is this what a Pillar is?

"A wandering warrior."

"Hello, my name is Tanjiro Kamado, this is Zenitsu Agatsuma, and that's Inosuke over there. We're here for Yoshiwara Yukaku."

Tanjiro was very happy that he met someone he could talk to on the road, or rather, Tanjiro was rarely unhappy.

"He is a kind and gentle boy by nature. It's a pity that I came too late, otherwise his family tragedy would have been rewritten." Kamiya Seiichi thought to himself.

"Hello, Tanjiro, if you don't mind, I can take you to Yukuoku. After all, I've been living here for a while, so I'm somewhat familiar with the place."

Now that we've seen them, we might as well go back together and observe the group of four.

Tanjiro looked at Tengen Uzui, and Tengen Uzui nodded.

"Then let's go. You will never imagine how prosperous it is there!"
