Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 19 Tanjiro’s Diary
"May 2

For Nezuko, I started writing a diary today. I will also go up the mountain today and continue to exercise so as not to die in the final selection. "

"..."

"May 3

Winter has passed, Nezuko, you will definitely be happy if you wake up and see the snow on the mountains melting in the blooming spores. "

"May 3

With repeated descents every day, I was able to avoid most of the traps because my stamina had improved and my nose was able to pick up scents more keenly than before.

I don’t know what’s going on every day at Brother Lai Lai’s side? "

"May 3

The traps were getting progressively more difficult and full of intent to kill me. "

"May 3

It turns out that Brother Lai Lai has faced this difficult trap a long time ago. As expected of Brother Lai Lai, it is really amazing! "

"October 3
I successfully avoided all the traps today!Nezuko, did you see it?Brother Lai Lai was also very happy when he found out. "

"..."

"May 4

Haha, Nezuko, do you know?It turns out that Brother Lai Lai has been able to avoid half of the traps until now. No wonder he is seen mending clothes every night. "

"May 4

Today I saw the trap faced by Brother Lai Lai... Mr. Lintaki, is it so scary! "

"May 4

Today, Mr. Nintaki asked us to go down the mountain with knives. This is really annoying. If we hold something in our hands, we will easily fall into the trap! "

"May 4

Brother Lai Lai's face seems not to be very good these days. He seems to be very unaccustomed to carrying a knife down the mountain. "

"May 4

I'm practicing swinging my sword today. Rather than saying 'today', I've been swinging my sword every day lately. After going down the mountain, my hand felt like it was going to break when I swung the sword. "

"May 5

Mr. Ningtaki started to teach us how to use a knife today. He told us that the knife is easy to break. Although it can withstand the vertical force, it is difficult to withstand the horizontal force. When using the knife, the direction of the blade should be pointed straight... …

Okay, those are the main points. Speaking of which, Brother Lai Lai seems to have been napping. Does it really matter?I'm a little worried about him.

After all, Mr. Kintaki said that if we break the knife, our hands will be broken. I feel like he is not lying..."

"May 5

Simply incredible!Nezuko, do you know what I saw today!Brother Lai Lai's hand was broken...

Um, it seems a little wrong to write it like this, so let me tell it in full. Brother Lai Lai broke the knife, and then Mr. Lintaki broke his hand mercilessly. He also said that there is a secret recipe that can be used in a week. Cure.

As a result, do you know what happened next?

Brother Lai Lai suddenly healed his hand!

He created a very dazzling light to cover the interrupted area, and then we watched his hand return to normal little by little!Not even a bruise!

It's really amazing!As expected of Brother Lai Lai. "

"May 5

Today Mr. Lintaki took Brother Lai Lai out and left me to practice alone. "

"May 5

Brother Lai Lai and the others haven't come back yet, but I received a reply from Mr. Lintaki, in which he told me how to practice. "

"May 5

Brother Lai Lai is finally back!He and Mr. Lintaki seemed very happy. What on earth did they do? "

"..."

"On June 6st, the weather started to get hotter, and I suddenly wanted to eat jelly... Nezuko, how long are you going to sleep?"

"May 6

Today, Brother Lai Lai and I were punished by Master Lintaki to practice swinging the sword two thousand times because Brother Lai Lai secretly ran to the village and bought three bowls of jelly and came back. Then I ate two bowls with him and left one bowl for Lin Taki. Mr. Taki.

Although I was fined, I feel very happy today. "

"Today is a wrestling festival. It is training to slow down the impact and stand up quickly no matter what position you are in.
I held the knife and faced him with determination to hit Mr. Ningtaki, but in contrast, Mr. Ningtaki had nothing with his hands.

But he was so strong that I would always be thrown out and rolled to the ground immediately. "

"May 6

Brother Lai Lai is still very funny when he uses a knife. His expression is so ferocious every time he practices the knife, poof!Nezuko, if you wake up, you will laugh too! "

"May 6

Mr. Lintaki said that he would learn breathing techniques and the ten types of water types tomorrow. What are they?But Brother Lai Lai seemed... very excited when he heard it? "

…June 6

In the early morning, Xin Lai Lai and Tanjiro stood under the shade of the trees, listening to Rin Taki Sakon's teachings with the chirping of cicadas.

"Today I'm going to learn breathing techniques and postures, and then I'll give you all the ten types of water forms." The vicissitudes and hoarse voice of Nedaki Sakonji sounded.

"First of all, it is to concentrate on breathing." Sakonji Nintaki paused and said:
"Consciously breathe with full concentration, allowing oxygen to spread to cells in every corner of the body..."

Ningtaki Sa recently explained to Shinlai and Tanjiro in great detail. Tanjiro was a little confused, but Sinlai nodded thoughtfully.

"Demon Slayer's world view is similar to that of JOJO, which means that the breathing method is actually a way to use the energy of cells in the body... but the entry requirements for the breathing method in Demon Slayer are a bit too hard-core."

Xin Lailai carefully studied what Lintaki Sa said last time and compared it with his own understanding.

"Cell energy and mana are somewhat similar in nature. They are both a special kind of energy. However, cell energy is obtained by squeezing oneself, while mana comes from the interweaving of the spiritual world and the material world."

"Unlike in JOJO, where cell energy is released externally to form ripples or even stand-ins, Demon Slayer prefers to use cell energy internally to strengthen the body itself."

"The so-called breathing method is not so much about transporting oxygen to every corner of the body, but rather forcing the body's instinct to let the body learn to use cell energy under the pressure of the instinct to survive and strengthen the cells throughout the body."

"What really strengthens the body is cell energy. Breathing is just a way to use cell energy."

"And because the learning of breathing methods puts great pressure on the human body, if ordinary people's physical foundation is not good enough, they will collapse before they can master the breathing methods."

"Unless you are born extremely sensitive to cellular energy, or like me, you have acquired exposure to things similar to cellular energy and have experience in mastering them."

Xin Lailai followed Lintaki Sakon's explanation and tried to operate the breathing method.

The first time, Xin Lai Lai, like Tanjiro, held himself in half to death. The second time, Xin Lai Lai carefully felt the changes in his lungs and vaguely grasped a feeling.

After trying it twice, Xin Lailai's eyes lit up when he ran the breathing method for the third time, and an inexplicable feeling of pleasure spread from his chest to his whole body.

"Okay, sure enough, it is completely feasible to use the experience of controlling mana to control cell energy!

[Learned the water breathing method]

[Active skill: Water Breathing (cannot be upgraded, can be advanced)

Conditions of use: Master the full concentration breathing method.

How to use: Take one full concentrated breath.

[Contractor: Xin Lailai

……

Cell Energy: 79
...]

"So fierce!" Xin Lailai's eyelids jumped after seeing the bonus provided by Water Breathing.

"A total of five points of attribute bonus directly improves the physical fitness to a higher level. No wonder that guy Tomioka Giyu's speed and movements are completely different from that of a normal human being!"

The pillars of the Demon Slayer Squad all have mastered the existence of Changzhong in the entire concentration, which means that the bonus provided by their breathing method will only be greater than that of Xin Lailai's breathing method.

Coupled with the basic physical fitness of Zhu itself, which is the best among ordinary people, coupled with the breathing method, a group of monsters who can rely on the human body to fight against string ghosts are directly created.

"The complete set is always in focus. You must learn this if you have the opportunity in the future!"

Xin Lailai's eyes flickered, and he even began to think about whether he could succeed if he went to Rinataki Sakon for advice if he practiced the full concentration and constant practice?

"Forget it, my current body's basic attributes are not enough. Even if I want to learn estimation, it will be difficult to do it." After thinking for a few seconds, Xin Lailai gave up the idea in his mind.

"Mr. Lintaki, have I learned the breathing technique?"

Xin Lailai looked at Ningtaki Sakonji and said with a smile.

Ningtaki Sakonji looked at Xin Lailai, was silent for a while, and nodded.

"I read it right, Xin Lailai, your talent in breathing techniques is unparalleled! You even learned how to use the energy in your body without having any experience with breathing techniques!"

"It's amazing...Brother Lai Lai, you learned it in one go!"

Tanjiro next to him also showed a surprised expression when he saw it.

Xin Lailai scratched his head in embarrassment, and just as he was about to smile proudly, he heard Takashi Sakon sigh for the first time:
"It's a pity that although you are a genius in breathing skills, you are a rare idiot in swordsmanship. In terms of talent in swordsmanship alone, Tanjiro surpasses you by a lot!"

Xin Lailai immediately frowned and muttered angrily:

"I can't do anything about sword skills. Who is used to using such a petty thing? It feels worse than a brick..." "Ahem!"

Ningtaki Sakon coughed for the first time, glared at Xin Lailai, and interrupted his thoughts:

"Okay, next I will teach you the ten types of water. Xin Lailai, listen carefully. You can use healing skills anyway, so don't expect me to be merciful when I do it."

Lintaki Sakon mentioned this lightly, and Xin Lailai suddenly became excited.

Although he is not worried about the disability left by the fracture, it does not mean that he is not afraid of it.

Having your legs broken while alive... still hurts a lot.

This is a lesson Xin Lailai learned after repeating it several times.
