Chapter 113: Leap Forward
boom--

Amidst a deafening roar, a huge rock several meters high exploded, and the meteor hammer was pulled by the chain and swept towards the figure on the tree nearby.

The middle section of the chain extends backwards in a broad and powerful hand, which is an axe connected to the chain.

The tall man waved a meteor hammer in his left hand and jumped up with a battle axe in his right hand. He used the force of the meteor hammer to move forward and chopped at his opponent with the axe in his hand.

The axe and the black blade collided, producing dazzling sparks. After the collision, both sides flew backwards due to the force, slid on the ground for a distance, and then stood firm.

Beimingyu Xingming retracted the meteor hammer. Only after he stopped moving did beads of sweat begin to flow down his forehead, and the yellowish-brown lines on his body gradually faded away.

"No matter how many times I try, I will always be impressed by the power of this secret technique. Mr. Lu is truly a genius to have developed this technique."

He said with emotion that over the past two months, the Nine Pillars had all learned about ghosts and gods under Lu Li's training.

He thought that the name of this secret skill was very appropriate, as it could give people power over ghosts and could be called a magical skill.

Originally he had a special physique that was endowed with supernatural powers, and after years of training using the Rock Breathing Technique, his body became even stronger, far surpassing that of the other pillars.

After using Lu Li's ghostly secret skills, his power became even stronger, and he even had the illusion of being omnipotent.

"It's just a little trick I figured out before I learned the breathing method. I hope it can help you all."

Lu Li said with a smile, it wasn't really a lie, Ghost God was indeed a technique he created before he learned the breathing method.

Jiuzhu's talent is indeed excellent, and his learning ability is also first-class. The mysterious skills he taught Jiuzhu were slightly adjusted according to each person's situation.

The Nine Pillars had a very strong ability of deduction. In just over two months, they not only learned how to use ghosts and gods, but also performed secondary creations based on their own situations, adjusting the ghosts and gods to the state that best suited them.

That's why those yellowish-brown lines appeared on the surface of the rock pillar, which were different from the magic lines on his body.

"I heard that the activities of demons outside have also decreased. It may be because of the girl named Nezuko. We should be more vigilant. Perhaps Muzan Kibutsuji wants to take the initiative to attack."

The Rock Pillar looked worried, and tears began to flow again as he thought of the touching stories of Tanjiro and Nezuko.

"I have discussed this with the lord. Ms. Tamayo's drug development is progressing very quickly. Nezuko may be able to turn back into a human in the next few days, but the lord and I think that this progress should be slightly delayed."

Lu Li said that he had done a lot of things within the Demon Slayer Corps in the past two months.

Lu Li borrowed the way of thinking from his roommate Sosuke, and believed that when the enemy outnumbers us, we should unite our internal forces and improve the overall quality of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Therefore, he did not rush into it recklessly, but instead focused on improving the internal strength of the Demon Slayer Corps. At the same time, during this period of time, he could also further improve his own attributes through training.

Due to the limitation of the world type, the concentration of atmospheric spirit particles in Demon Slayer World is not high, so Lu Li cannot obtain significant improvement by using the spiritual pressure training method of the Death God World. Fortunately, the effect of self-improvement of breathing method in this world is very obvious, and his attributes have changed a lot in the past two months.

Although Muzan's camp seems to have strong basic combat power and a large number of explorers, in fact, this world has a very favorable condition for him, which is the long stay time.

Unlike the Kengan world, he has a full three months of mission time in this world, which is the same as the Bleach world. He can use this time to train and practice to further improve his strength.

Of course, this method is useless for normal explorers. He has the talent to remove the limiter, so it is easier for him to improve, so he can rely on time to benefit. Even if an ordinary explorer can stay a little longer, he can only learn the breathing method within two months at most.

Currently, Lu Li's attributes are like this when he is in normal condition and does not use breathing methods.

[Pioneer 008, your unarmored attributes are as follows (including title bonus):]

Constitution: 33 points (+2)

Strength: 30 points (+3)

Agility: 30 points (+4)

Spirit: 32 points (+2)

Charisma: 6 points

Luck: 1 points

Lu Li's breathing method has been practiced to the point where he has mastered it all the time, so he can exercise even when he is sleeping, further improving his physical condition.

Theoretically, once one reaches this level, one's physical quality will improve rapidly, but for an individual like him whose limiters have been removed, the improvement is not as great as he imagined.

Lu Li speculated that it was mainly because the first-level explorers had an extreme attribute. He clearly felt that there was a barrier when each attribute reached 30 points. Although that barrier was not very solid, it was still a bit difficult to step over it.

The first attribute that broke through 30 points was his physique, but at that time it was with the help of the power added by the title, not through his own cultivation.

In the past two months, he has done a lot of physical training while focusing on the whole concentration, but his physical fitness has only increased by two points. This is because of the barrier.

As for strength and agility attributes, since they were originally relatively low, Lu Li’s improvement was very obvious, but they have been stuck at 30 points for two weeks.

As for the mental attributes, it was thanks to the meditation method he learned in the world of Death. After all, it was a technique from the "high-level martial arts anime", so he was able to break through the barriers easily.

In addition to the improvement of attributes, Lu Li did not slack off in the practice of Armament Haki. Although his comprehension speed slowed down after reaching level ten, Lu Li still improved by two levels and is currently at level 12 of Armament Haki.

Compared to two months ago, Lu Li has been reborn. If he fights now, and uses breathing techniques to further improve, and cooperates with ghosts and gods, his values ​​will become extremely exaggerated.

He believes that based on the attributes alone, it is enough to crush all demons below the Upper Rank 2, but it is a pity that Muzan has not been found to test the sword yet.

If Muzan had been willing to gather all his forces to surround and kill him two months ago, he felt that he would most likely be in danger, but now it was hard to say. He felt that even if he was alone, he could defeat all the Upper Ranks.

Of course, Lu Li would not be blindly arrogant. After all, the explorers on the other side would not just sit there and wait for two months. They would also have their own arrangements and upgrades. "Postponed? Why? Didn't Tanjiro always hope that his sister could turn back into a human?"

Rock Pillar was somewhat puzzled after hearing what Lu Li said.

"Because we hope that Nezuko's existence will allow Muzan to show up. We are human beings with limited time, but Muzan has a long life. If he really hides and never shows up again, after our generation of powerful swordsmen falls, I'm afraid Muzan will continue to be arrogant for hundreds or even thousands of years."

Lu Li explained, “When we have the ability to solve a problem, we shouldn’t leave it to future generations.”

He has discussed this with his lord and plans to have Nezuko show the outside world her ability to overcome the sun, so that Muzan will surely be unable to resist and come to kill her.

Because Lu Li is familiar with the plot, he has been guiding Tamayo's research direction and also suggested that Nezuko can try to adapt to the sunlight.

Unlike the original plot, Nezuko overcame the sunlight slowly after phased attempts, and it was not like in the Swordsmith Village chapter where she was given drastic measures and died. Moreover, because the experiment was conducted under the protection of the Demon Slayer Corps, no other demons knew about it, and Muzan did not know that a demon who could overcome the sunlight had appeared.

They had been constantly changing their hiding places during this period and had done a good job of keeping secrets, so the other side was unable to anticipate the great increase in the strength of the pillars.

The explorers on the other side might at most guess that the pillars are learning how to open patterns and see through the world, but they would never imagine that they have learned a less costly and more powerful technique.

Therefore, Lu Li believed that the time was ripe and they had the capital to have a decisive battle with Muzan's camp.

"Mr. Lu is right. We should not leave the problem to future generations. God has given us such a strong body, probably to end this chain of tragedies."

As Yanzhu spoke, tears streamed down his face and he chanted Namo Amitabha.

At this time, a crow flew in the sky and said, "Fifty miles to the west, a demon that looks like the Twelve Demon Moons appeared. Many members of the Demon Slayer Corps have been killed. Please go and deal with it, two pillars."

Lu Li perked up when he heard this. This was the first time he had heard of news related to the Twelve Ghost Moons recently.

No one knew what the intention of Muzan's camp was. When their Nine Pillars God disappeared, the Twelve Demon Moons on the opposite side basically did not take any action. Lu Li went out to kill demons several times, but he did not catch any trace of the Twelve Demon Moons.

Now, the Crow said that the Twelve Ghost Moons might appear, which means that the other side can't help it anymore and wants to test it, or it may be a trap.

"I'll go. All my sparring arrangements for today are finished."

The Rock Pillar spoke up. He and Lu Li took turns to practice with the Nine Pillars, but for some reason no one liked to practice with him for a long time, so it ended quickly. On the other hand, the teaching practice with the Sound Pillar took longer.

"No, Brother Xingming, you take charge of the Demon Slayer Corps."

Lu Li said seriously, "I feel like this is something unusual."

"You think it might be a trap? The other party is prepared? Then we'd better go together."

The Rock Pillar said after thinking for a while.

Lu Li shook his head. "You are best at guarding. We need your guarding power here. I am more mobile and can adapt to circumstances. I can go alone."

Lu Li had his own considerations for making this arrangement. The Rock Pillar was indeed very strong, and he became even stronger after learning about ghosts and gods, but he was still not as strong as himself.

If he can't handle the situation, Rock Pillar's presence won't be of much help. On the contrary, if Rock Pillar leaves, they will be easily "stolen"

It is only 50 miles away from their current training ground. This distance is too subtle, which makes it hard for Lu Li not to think that the other side has found the location of their base camp.

Once the top combat forces are gone, the rear may be directly slaughtered. Muzan has the Infinite Castle and has absolute initiative in terms of "mobility".

They could have killed all the people in the rear when he and the Rock Pillar left, and then returned through the Infinite Castle to besiege him and the Rock Pillar.

After a moment of silence, the rock pillar understood what Lu Li meant. "In that case, you should be careful. If you encounter any problems, ask for help at any time."

Lu Li nodded and left, but instead of going directly to the scene of the incident, he went to find his lord and Tamayo.

Under Lu Li's suggestion, even Shinobu Kocho and Miss Tamayo have always been "with the army", and their core combat power has never been separated.

Zhu Shi was studying how to prepare medicine, and was surprised to see Lu Li coming. "Mr. Lu? Have you finished your training today?"

"It's not my turn to practice with the Wind Pillar and the Mist Pillar yet, but the situation has changed. I need to go out for a while, just in case, so I have two things to tell you."

Lu Li now has a very high prestige within the Demon Slayer Corps, not only because he is the only pillar who has killed an upper-rank god, but also because he personally guided and taught the nine pillars and some of his stepchildren, ghosts and gods.

A breakthrough technology that can greatly enhance combat power, its status is almost equal to the breathing method, just like the breathing method that Yoshiichi Tsugumi taught the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen hundreds of years ago.

Therefore, the nine pillars all respect Lu Li, and even the Wind Pillar who was unhappy with Lu Li at first has now become a dead tsundere.

With the respect of the Nine Pillars and the permission of his lord, Lu Li has considerable say within the Demon Slayer Corps, so he can come and go freely in various places. He also often pays attention to and guides the progress of Tamayo and Shinobu Kocho's experiments.

Well, although Lu Li doesn’t understand scientific research at all, he knows the plot, so he can provide research ideas and directions.

"Mr. Lu, please speak."

Zhu Shi also noticed Lu Li's seriousness and felt that he was going to do something dangerous.

"Although it may just be a coincidence, I think Muzan may have found this place, so I hope Miss Tamayo can take the medicine I developed before."

Lu Li said.
