Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Chapter 60 The So-Called Genius

[You have independently learned the skill - Breath of the Wind]

[You have completed Phase Two: Learn the breathing technique]

[Phase 3 quest now available: Kill at least one ghost]

[You have completed the requirements of Stage Three and may choose to end this game.]

"So, you really have to kill Muzan to get an S rank."

Jolyne killed Lower Moon Five, completing Phase Three ahead of schedule, but naturally, he couldn't leave now in order to achieve a higher rating.

Based on the requirements of Phase Three, the rating criteria for this game should now be clear.

If killing an ordinary demon is rated C, then killing a Lower Moon demon is B, killing an Upper Moon demon is A, and as for S-rank, one can only kill Muzan.

After reading the detailed description of Breath of the Wind, Jolyne knew that she had made the right choice.

Skill - Breath of the Wind - lv1

Description: One of the basic breathing techniques derived from Sun Breathing, it can enhance attributes and unleash thunderous and powerful slashes.

Effect: Breath of the Wind has nine sword forms, and you can fully master one at each level. When you reach level 10, you will learn Breath of the Wind - Tenth Form based on your own situation.

加成：每二级提高敏捷1（最高加成为15）每三级提高力量1，体质1（最高加成为13）

The maximum bonus to Strength and Constitution attributes was a whopping 13 points, which surprised Jolyne.

He hadn't seen through Sanemi's physique and strength, and thought that he would only gain agility from learning the Breath of Wind. He didn't expect that the attribute ceiling of the Breath of Wind was not as low as he had imagined.

If you maximize the benefits, Breath of the Wind can grant you 3 points of Strength, 3 points of Constitution, and 5 points of Agility.

Unfortunately, Jolyne had already raised his constitution and strength to 11 points through the Golden Light Mantra, so he would inevitably lose two points of attribute gains.

Normal players certainly wouldn't have this problem, since even if they maximized their gains, they still wouldn't reach the attribute cap of Breath of the Wind.

But it doesn't really matter, since Jolyne's Golden Light Spell is level 7 and her Strength and Constitution cap is 15.

Once you raise your Strength to 13 points using Breath of the Wind, upgrade the Golden Light Mantra to level 10, which will maximize the benefits of the Golden Light Mantra.

By investing 150 Paradise Coins, Jolyne's Breath of the Wind reached level 3, her Constitution and Strength both reached 12 points, and her Agility finally began to improve, reaching 7 points.

His mind and body also fully acquired the first three sword forms of the Breath of Wind.

They are respectively

First Form: Dust Whirlwind - Slash

Type Two. Claw. Kehu Wind.

Type Three: Sunny Breeze Tree

"Hey, let's go, Brother Fengzhu."

Jolyne waved goodbye to the Wind Pillar, in a rather good mood, even finding Sanemi Shinazugawa's scars to be quite handsome.

"Wait a minute, you've only learned the first form. Aren't you going to learn the rest of the sword forms as well?"

Sanemi Shinazugawa impatiently stopped Jolyne, saying, "Since you have such great talent, don't waste it. Why don't you hurry up and finish learning the Breath of the Wind?"

Jolyne naturally didn't want to stay here any longer. He was going to upgrade his Breath of Wind sooner or later anyway, and he would naturally learn the sword forms later on. Why learn them here in advance? Was the consumption of his spiritual energy too low?

Jolyne then took the wooden sword back from Sanemi Shinazugawa and casually slashed it to her side.

Four green slashes, resembling the claws of wild beasts, instantly cleaved the ground, plunging Shinazugawa Sanemi into an even deeper state of shock.

"I've already learned the rest."

Sanemi Shinazugawa: "???"

Did I teach him what to do next?

Sanemi Shinazugawa's worldview began to crumble, and it took him a moment to understand what Jolyne meant by "genius."

That was not the genius that ordinary people talk about, but a talent that was no less than that of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

This is the one who can truly defeat the Demon King!

……

Jolyne had just stepped out when she saw Kanroji Mitsuri pretending to run into her from across the street.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Miss Kanroji?"

Upon hearing Jolyne's question, Mitsuri Kanroji smiled and jogged over to Jolyne.

"I was thinking that Mr. Jolyne hasn't received the Nichirin Blade and Kasugai Crow yet. The village is quite large, and it might waste a lot of time if we can't find them in a short time."

After saying that, she blinked her big, bright eyes and looked at Jolyne expectantly.

Xu Lun was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "In that case, I'll leave it to Miss Ganlu Temple."

Mitsuri Kanroji turned around with her hands behind her back and walked up to Jolyne. Her cherry-pink hair bounced around and looked very cute.

"What's Jolyne doing here? The Wind Pillar has quite a temper..."

"Of course, it's to learn the Breath of Wind."

"Oh, I was also planning to introduce the Breath of Flame to Mr. Jolyne."

She responded to Kanroji Mitsuri in a half-hearted manner, her destiny mission had already been triggered and displayed on her bracelet, and had even been completed.

[Kanroji Mitsuri - Destiny Quest: Become the person she likes (Completed, can be taken out as a follower by consuming Paradise Coins)]

It must be said that this mission is very much in line with Kanroji Mitsuri's personality.

Although you can see that Kanroji Mitsuri has a high level of affection for you, affection is not something that can be achieved solely through love, kinship, respect, or gratitude.

However, now, the Paradise's destiny mission has personally confirmed that Kanroji Mitsuri's feelings for him are indeed love.

The village is mainly distributed around four pillars, located in four directions.

The remaining forces of the Demon Slayer Corps gathered here, including the Butterfly House, which heals the wounded, and the Swordsmith Village, which forges Nichirin Blades.

The place to collect the Kasugai Crows and the Nichirin Blade are both in the same direction. When Jolyne and Mitsuri Kanroji arrived there, they saw all sorts of Kasugai Crows.

Even the "Tennoji Matsuemon" that should have belonged to Kamado Tanjiro is still here.

The swordsman in charge of distributing the Kasugai crows noticed Jolyne's attention on Tennoji Matsuemon and came over to explain, "Do you want this Kasugai crow? Although it is very demanding of its master, it is very kind-hearted."

Tennoji Matsuemon also turned his gaze here, scrutinizing Jolyne with sharp eyes.

No, I don't need it.

Jolyne resolutely refused.

Kanroji Mitsuri tilted her head in surprise: "Why? Isn't this child adorable?"

“It’s really cute and has a great personality, but,” Jolyne glanced at its name tag, which was much longer than the surrounding ravens, and complained helplessly, “its name is just too long.”

Tennoji Matsuemon, a total of seven characters, takes two seconds to pronounce.

"That's true. My raven is named Li, which is only one character."

Kanroji Mitsuri pondered the kasugata crows she had seen before, and it seemed that she hadn't seen many of them with long names.

Tennoji Shoemon felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, and once again felt the malice brought by his name.

"This is the name I chose myself, do you have any objections?"

Tennoji Matsuemon shouted in shame and anger, then flew up and pounced on Kanroji Mitsuri's head, since she looked easier to bully than Jolyne.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tennoji."

Kanroji Mitsuri's face turned rounder with fright, and she covered her head with her hands, trying to dodge away.

"Call me by my full name, Tennoji Matsuemon!"

The hawks pecked even more vigorously.

Chapter 61 Customized Nichirin Sword

Jolyne searched for something that would meet her standards.

They are all quite intelligent, and if the ravens they choose are not compatible with them, there will eventually be some trouble.

Actually, there are more than just Kasugai crows here. After all, Zenitsu Agatsuma's little sparrow was also raised by the Demon Slayer Corps. It's just that Kasugai crows are smarter and have a higher success rate in training, so they make up the vast majority.

Finally, Jolyne's gaze settled on a peculiar one-eyed raven. Although it was blind in one eye, its intact eye remained sharp. Even when Jolyne exerted her aura to intimidate it, it did not look away but instead chose to stare directly at Jolyne.

The swordsman who had been accompanying Jolyne for some time immediately stepped forward to explain: "This raven's name is Black Sun. When it was brought back to be raised, it was already a one-eyed raven with excellent qualities in all aspects. It can easily accomplish tasks such as leading the way or delivering messages."

She then whispered to Jolyne, "But it's a bit aloof..."

Hearing the swordsman's explanation, Jolyne felt nothing. Rather, she thought a more aloof personality would be better. The banana was enough for the mentally challenged and talkative one, and Jolyne didn't want to add another one.

So I asked it directly, "Do you want to come with me?"

The raven didn't speak, but simply flapped its wings and landed on Jolyne's shoulder.

It's clear that it agreed.

Not smelling anything strange, Jolyne let the black sun occupy her shoulder.

Instead, Kanroji Mitsuri, who was standing nearby, seemed to be deep in thought. She stopped her playful banter with Tennoji Matsuemon and casually asked, "Does Mr. Jolyne prefer something quieter?"

"Actually, I just like good-looking things, and the one-eyed raven looks really cool."

Jolyne glanced at Mitsuri Kanroji and said casually.

"I like pretty things..."

This put Kanroji Mitsuri in a state of mental turmoil.

Do I consider myself good-looking?

Would Mr. Jolyne like this version of himself?

Ignoring Mitsuri Kanroji's wild thoughts, Jolyne headed to the next location to select a Nichirin Blade.

Pets and weapons are two of the greatest romances for men.

He had no shortage of spirit pets, so receiving the Kasugai Crow didn't bother him much, but Jolyne had been looking forward to the Nichirin Blade for a long time.

After all, he only has a red hood that exudes a philosophical aura; he can't exactly go around hitting people with a plain weapon every day.

You'll be looked down upon by some streetlight king.

"You must be Mr. Jolyne."

Before even stepping inside, a man wearing a fire mask had been waiting at the door for quite some time.

On that mask, the eyebrows drooped, the eyes were wide open, and the thin, long mouthpiece for blowing fire was particularly eye-catching, making it look quite comical.

“Indeed, I’ve come to choose a Nichirin Blade.” Jolyne suppressed a smile and nodded slightly.

As the swordsmith accompanied the two into the house, he continued his explanation: "My lord has already given instructions on this matter. My name is Tetsuya Mori Kozo. Please trust my skills. I will tailor-make the finest Nichirin sword for you. Just tell me your requirements."

In the Demon Slayer Corps, the Nichirin Blades used by ordinary swordsmen are all standard. Only after a person becomes a Pillar will the swordsmiths go to great lengths to forge a Nichirin Blade that they desire.

Jolyne, as the savior, has been granted the right to make this custom-made Nichirin Blade by order of her lord.

As Jolyne walked along the road, she pondered what shape her Nichirin Blade should take.

Given his style of doing things, only heavy weapons would suit his taste.

Heavy weapons also come in many varieties, such as hammers, axes, broadswords, spears, and even spiked clubs.

Jolyne immediately ruled out several that were considered ugly or took too long to build.

After thinking for a moment, he decided, "Help me forge a long-handled broadsword."

"What specific type is it?"

Upon arriving at the workshop, Tetsuya Mori took out his drawing board and asked Jolyne for details.

Jolyne was somewhat speechless, after all, he didn't know much about weapons, and could only rely on his memory to roughly piece together the shape he wanted.

"The handle should be long, and the blade should be long and wide, similar to a Guan Dao (a type of halberd), but the curvature should not be too large."
