My avatar is the heroine

"It's terrifying. I can't even stand that level of distortion."

Inosuke was stunned by Shan Yi's blissful expression.

The subsequent training was actually similar to the situation in the story. Su Lin spent a lot of time every day practicing with Kanao.

Because he was constantly forging and improving his physical attributes, and his control over his body was becoming more and more proficient, the guy opposite him was increasingly aware of Su Lin's changes.

"You've improved very quickly."

It's quite rare that Kanao revealed the truth.

"Thank you so much, it's all thanks to you making time to exercise with me."

Su Lin expressed his gratitude, while simultaneously deciding that he would rely on his clones in future battles. The main purpose of enhancing his main body was to ensure self-preservation in unavoidable circumstances.

……

It is very difficult to concentrate on breathing for 24 hours straight, because even a very short time is tiring enough, let alone doing it while sleeping and making it an instinct.

As a result, Tanjiro and Inosuke mastered it, but Su Lin had not yet learned it.

Fortunately, his average attributes improved by several points during this period, otherwise he would have been the worst performer.

……

After the period of recovery training ended, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps seemed to return to their normal daily lives.

Su Lin's forging workshop gradually gained fame, and he slowly opened a shop in the Demon Slayer Corps' territory.

Because the forging process of Nichirin Blades is long, some team members who have damaged their weapons in battle will buy compromise equipment from him. Of course, some people also buy weapons specifically for backup.

The higher the price, the better the equipment's effect. One person who bid 500 taels even obtained equipment that inflicted frost damage on attacks and had a +3 anti-ghost effect.

Frost itself is effective against ghosts, and the +3 ghost-countering attribute is not a simple accumulation, but a qualitative change. Su Lin's forging ability has also become increasingly powerful due to his constant pursuit of breakthroughs.

Here we must mention Yafusa, the one with the black eyes.

The forging of this weapon mainly relies on various enhancement materials obtained in normal times.

As a result, the Eighth House's ability to counter ghosts eventually reached +6.

Now, a single, full-force strike to decapitate the Lower Moon would be enough to kill him.

It's fair to say that Kurome is now very close to a Pillar in terms of Demon Slayer skills. Of course, her actual strength surpasses that of any Pillar; her real limitation lies in her weaponry and equipment.

Facing an opponent of Upper Moon level, the current situation would be extremely exhausting. Not only is the opponent incredibly powerful, but even just the fact that this sword could restrict an Upper Moon's physical regeneration would be very difficult.

Once he had finished training, Su Lin finally allowed his main body to rest, which was a rare treat.

Then, on a night with a silver moon hanging in the sky, Shinobu Kocho suddenly appeared beside him.

"So you are here."

"Hmm, you're here?" Su Lin turned his head and found that this guy was very close, with a smiling expression on his face.

"I know your secret now. No wonder the bodies of Kurohime and the other girls have a limited lifespan each day. So it was you who transformed? It seems this is your ability, right?"

"..."

After a brief silence, he took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to see that."

"You didn't deny it?" Shinobu sat up straight. "I was just testing you, I didn't expect it to actually be true..."

"You've suspected it for a while, haven't you? Actually, I've long felt that I couldn't hide it from you, especially from that clever lord." Su Lin shook his head with a smile.

"In that case, it doesn't matter if I tell everyone, since there are quite a few strange guys in the Demon Slayer Corps anyway."

"is it?"

That makes sense.

For example, after consuming a certain demon, one can acquire a creature with similar abilities to that demon.

"I've always liked to present myself in a feminine way to others. It's not just a personal preference, but it makes me feel safe."

Su Lin really didn't want to admit it, but the thought of dying at any moment if her true form didn't become a girl always lingered in her mind. Perhaps it was better to maintain the appearance of a young girl, at least so that she could feel more at ease when facing strong opponents.

Chapter 150 Heading to the Infinite Train

"Shouldn't it be that girls feel insecure? Why do you think the opposite?"

Shinobu Kocho smiled, then looked thoughtful: "So those girls can appear every day, right? Even if they encounter danger, they'll still be there the next day?"

"Yes."

This doesn't even count as an advantage anymore. The real advantage isn't death and rebirth, but the ability to automatically switch bodies and exchange lives for death.

The current automatic switching function is very fast.

In the past, when a clone was attacked by an enemy and died, there would be a brief interval during which Su Lin would need to react and switch bodies.

But now, with less of a split second to react, the speed is much faster, not to mention that this is a passive skill.

Moreover, the biggest advantage of automatic switching is that, in the face of continuous damage, the clone can help the main body resist in the shortest time. Otherwise, once Su Lin dies, the clone's existence will be meaningless.

"understood."

Shinobu Kocho didn't say anything more, but she did say that the person who owned everything about her was in real danger.

Some time later, at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

"Total Concentration - Constant Concentration, which means maintaining 24-hour concentrated breathing. Although it's the most basic technique, it still requires quite a bit of effort to achieve. If it were Inosuke, he should be able to do it, but if he can't, then there's nothing that can be done. Right? There's nothing that can be done."

With a disdainful smile, Inosuke was instantly enraged upon hearing this and shouted, "How could I not do it? Believe me or not, I'll tear your breasts off!"

Shinobu Kocho wasn't angry at those words. She turned to Zenitsu Agatsuma and said, "Oh dear, do your best! Good luck!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

With his face flushed red to the roots of his neck, Zenitsu Gasai, thrilled by the beautiful girl's words, immediately entered "effort mode" and began to sprint up the wooden wall.

Two people who had been feeling down started exercising like crazy because of a few simple words.

Su Lin sat cross-legged in front of the corridor, quietly trying to breathe deeply.

Since the effect of training is far less than the attribute points gained from forging, he has no need to work hard like the others.

"Speaking of which, the number of people who have died on the Infinite Train has increased recently, exceeding forty people. With such a number, we can't afford not to send in Pillars, can we?"

After finishing her practice, Yukino walked near a main house when she suddenly heard this sound. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mitsuri Kanroji and Shinobu Kocho talking.

"Yes, Kyojuro Rengoku just left not long ago, preparing to kill the demons over there."

"I heard it might be an Upper Moon?" Kanroji Mitsuri said worriedly.

"Not necessarily. If it's him, there shouldn't be any danger, right?"

……

Upon hearing this conversation, Yukino stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowing slightly.

"If you think about it, it's been several months already, the Mugen Train incident should be happening soon."

Kyojuro Rengoku will die in this battle, which can be said to be the beginning of the destruction of the Pillars.

It wasn't that she didn't want to run and deal with all the demons before the battle, but the whereabouts of most of the demons were unknown. Although Muzan was arrogant, he was very good at hiding himself. It was unrealistic to find most of the demons in the vast sea of ​​people in this world where the location and place names were completely unknown.

Not to mention, Su Lin has spent most of his energy on exercising in the past two months.

"The main characters have been training all day long lately, it's so boring. Now that the Lower Moon One is causing trouble, let's find something to do."

Yukino stepped forward and said to the two of them, "Let me help with this mission."

"Are you going to help too?" Kanroji Mitsuri's eyes widened.

"Of course, Shinobu Kocho should have told you about my situation. Kurome and the others also went with me this time."

The main battles rely entirely on Kurome, although Yukino can also participate now, since she has started learning Total Concentration Breathing.

With such technology, coupled with explosive punches and fearlessness, he would definitely become the enemy's nightmare.

The Upper Moons they will face in the future all possess the fighting power to easily defeat Lower Moons with a single blow. Although Su Lin has improved recently, it will still be a bit challenging to win easily without using X-Hair.

“If you’d like to go, that would be wonderful. Besides Kyojuro Rengoku, Tanjiro and the others will also be going to the Mugen Train this time, and I’m a little worried about them,” Shinobu Kocho said with a smile.

"Your concerns are valid. I will absolutely not let this tragedy happen this time."

The one causing trouble on the Mugen Train this time is probably Enmu, the current Lower Moon One. Akaza, the Upper Moon Three, will also appear on the scene later.

In other words, with a bit of luck, Su Lin could take care of these two in this battle. Especially Akaza, who was originally supposed to escape.

The demons in Demon Slayer mostly have pitiful backstories; they were either forced onto this path or weren't inherently evil. Of course, there are also quite a few, like Rui, who are evil to the core.

Because she was going to the Mugen Train, Yukino started making preparations.

During this period, he opened a weapon shop and made a lot of money from the Demon Slayer Corps. He didn't dare to consider that keeping these weapons would actually be useless, so Su Lin would still stay after killing Muzan.

"However, of all the weapons I forged, some will be given to ordinary people who are threatened by demons and want revenge."

Ghosts are quite common in folklore, though most are low-level imps. With current weapons, some powerful adults might have a chance to kill them if they're lucky.

Rather than praying for the Demon Slayer Corps to join the fight, sometimes having some self-defense capabilities is quite useful.

……

After talking with Shinobu and the others, Su Lin arrived at the Butterfly Mansion.

Kanzaki Aoi was airing out her blankets, while Tanjiro was using his flirting skills to subtly win over the hearts of the girls.

"emmm..."

Yukino thought it best not to disturb him and prepared to turn and leave.

Tanjiro called out from afar, "Yukino!"

"Is there something you need?" Yukino turned her head.

"I heard you're coming with us on the train too? You haven't joined the Demon Slayer Corps yet."

"What's the difference between me and a member of the Demon Slayer Corps now? I've been brought to your headquarters." Yukino shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.

"That's great! I heard you didn't pass the test, and I was worried the adults wouldn't accept you."

"It doesn't really matter. My real purpose is to kill demons, not for this kind of title." Yukino sighed. "Anyway, when you leave, don't forget to look for me... one of us."

Chapter 151 Monster

“One of you…” Tanjiro still hasn’t figured out the relationship between Su Lin and his clones. Although it’s rumored that the girls are all Su Lin’s wives, actually… look at Kurome, Mashiro, and Sora, none of them seem like they would like him.

Moreover, these seemingly unrelated individuals have an almost unparalleled level of understanding. Sometimes, they don't even need to say a word; they can accomplish things in perfect coordination.

For example, not long ago, Tanjiro discovered something very strange.

Yukino, sitting in front with her head down, was reading a book. Kurohime, behind her, ate about half a box of candy and then tossed the box forward. From twenty or thirty meters away, without even looking or being reminded, Yukino reached out, turned her back to Kurohime, caught the box, and then took out a candy and put it in her mouth.

"Does she have eyes in the back of her head?" That was Tanjiro's only thought at the time.

That's not even the worst part. What's really outrageous is that even though Su Lin was training with Tanjiro and the others, not with the girls, he could still tell you exactly which girl came to see him, when, where, and what she did.

For example, Su Lin usually likes to use something called napkins. When he finishes using one, he says, "Qiong is bringing it."

A few minutes later, Kyōma brought over some tissues.

When Su Lin and Inosuke were chatting, they talked about Inosuke's desire to become stronger, so he said, "Then let Yukino bring you some martial arts manuals later, haha."

Not long after, Yukino actually brought him books on techniques.

Unless they can know each other's thoughts, it is impossible for different people to cooperate so well.

Although Shinobu Kocho reported the situation to her master, she didn't reveal much to newcomers like Tanjiro.

Upon hearing Tanjiro's words, Yukino nodded helplessly: "Yes, for some reason, we know what each other is thinking."

As she spoke, she pointed to her head.

"Incredible, that's really amazing!" Tanjiro exclaimed in amazement.

"Then it's settled. I'll go get ready."

Yukino left the scene after saying that.

……

Several hours later, Yukino finished preparing and saw Tanjiro again.

"This guy is flirting with girls again without even realizing it."

Yukino sighed when she saw Tanjiro flipping a coin for Kanao and then giving her a gentle smile.
