"It's also because I'm not good enough in my studies."
If he could master the magic of the Type-Moon world, let alone Muzan Kibutsuji, he would dare to go back to Teyvat and run to the castle tower to pull out that dead otaku girl, but he was not at that level.
Beimingyu Xingming: "I have a question, why is the first generation swordsman hundreds of years ago, Jiguo Yuanyi, so strong?"
The Demon Slayer Corps' inheritance was interrupted hundreds of years ago, and even the record of Sun Breathing had to be searched for a long time in the lord's own library. The tall rock pillar's understanding of Tsugakuni Yoriichi came entirely from Tamayo.
That was an invincible man.
And it is limited to humans.
Li Mo has such strength because he became a monster. What did Tsugumi Yuichi do? Beimingyu Xingming did not expect to get an answer from the other party. According to the other party's words, he went to another world to learn and gained such strength. How could he know these things?
As for the concept of another world, Beimingyu Xingming's understanding is very far away. He doesn't understand how Li Mo acts, but that is someone else's secret and he is not allowed to ask.
"Born with spots and born with a clear view of the world."
Li Mo answered decisively.
"Huh? What is that?"
"It's hard to sum it up in words. The former is probably a way of squeezing out the body's potential, while the latter is a state of mind."
The stripes and the transparent world are the ways for human swordsmen to break through their limits, but they all have their own shortcomings.
The former will die at the age of 25, just like a round god among the stars, exchanging the possibility of the future for the explosion of the present. The world in the eyes of the latter is a world made up entirely of bones and muscles. Even someone as strong as Tsugukuni Yoriichi has never seen the world seen by ordinary people.
Beimingyu Xingming was attracted by the words and began to ask what the two names were.
Chapter 250 Markings
Stripes, a transparent world.
These two terms do not refer to a thing, but two abilities. If you think about it carefully, Yoriichi Tsugikoku, who was born with these two abilities, is really a child of destiny. Normal people who open the markings will die at the age of 25, but he lived to an old age, and even seriously injured Kokushibo with a knife on the eve of his death.
A monster among monsters.
He is even less human than Muzan Kibutsuji.
In addition to Yoriichi Tsugikoku, there were also people among the first generation of swordsmen who opened the markings. That era was the worst era for the demons. However, as time passed, the strength of the successors of the Demon Slayer Corps gradually declined. The information about the markings was also buried in the long river of history.
If Li Mo had not appeared, it would have been only after the Kamado family was destroyed that he would have achieved the achievement of surpassing the first generation swordsman.
But there is his arrival.
"I am willing to open the pattern." Beimingyu Xingming said calmly.
This big brother of the Demon Slayer Corps has an extraordinary sense of responsibility. Even though he knows that he will die at the age of 25, he is already 23 years old. However, when he heard about the advantages of activating the mark, he resolutely chose to agree.
Hatred takes root in the heart, and for a great monk, it can increase the probability of killing evil spirits. Then it doesn't matter even if it costs his life.
Li Mo hesitated slightly. The conditions for opening the pattern were hidden in his memory hall. After the transformation in Fuyuki City, he rationally planned the memory hall in his brain. This seemingly magical skill was essentially just the processing and summarization of information.
In the real world where Sobu High School is located, there is a manga called Demon Slayer, which contains information about opening the markings.
Over thirty-nine degrees of body temperature, two hundred heartbeats.
These are dangerous numbers in the eyes of ordinary people. Entering this situation and surviving is the key to unlocking the stripes.
Li Mo pondered and said, "Let me try first."
The only question might be whether he, as a non-human, could still activate the markings? But the more important it is to try. Although he did not know how the markings caused death at the age of 25, but with the exception of Jiguo Yuanyi, Li Mo did not think that he could not replicate Jiguo Yuanyi's situation.
Thirty-nine-degree questions, with a heartbeat exceeding two hundred times per minute. It was not a difficult task for Li Mo, who mastered magic. In fact, he could go to the Kamado family immediately. His nominal brother, Kamado Tanjuro, was suspected to have the markings.
He could go over and see if his brother had real stripes. If so, he would have a research subject out of thin air. But time was precious, and Li Mo didn't have the extra time to do this.
So I tried it myself.
Even if it can't be solved, anyway, I'm not even 25 years old yet. At worst, I can chop off Muzan Kibutsuji's head and leave this world, run to the Shadow Mukaiyama Narukami Taisha, hug Yae Miko's thigh and ask for a solution to this problem. The price is at most working for her amidst the mockery of the fox.
Face is nothing but an external thing. If it can be sold for a good price, then what's the harm in selling it?
So under the witness of Xingming of Beiming Island, Li Mo tried to open the pattern.
Why was there Beimingyu Xingming beside him was another matter. If possible, Li Mo also hoped that the one he could chat with was the beautiful girl Kanae. The two had just experienced the joy of love and were just rubbing their ears. But Senior Sister Zhengu's lukewarm smile was too scary, so he didn't dare to say more.
At the same time, the strength of Beimingyu Xingming is outstanding. His strong strength combined with the whirring meteor hand axe is not suitable for training at all. Only a non-human like Li Mo can confront him head-on.
His heartbeat began to speed up. Li Mo felt that his heartbeat was roaring like an engine, and his body temperature was rising. It was as if a virus had entered his body, and the body's automatic protection mechanism was determined to "kill the disease even if the host's heart stopped suddenly."
Thirty-nine degrees.
For ordinary people, this would require immediate treatment, as the temperature might burn the brain in the next second. But for Li Mo, it was just a normal temperature. After meeting these two conditions, Li Mo felt as if something was opened.
No, it's contact.
It was as if a switch in the body was turned on, and the body began to passively accept things from the air. It was like the existence of Teyvat elements, and the special effect caused by the breathing method was the resonance with these "elements".
Mysteries exist in this world, and the existence of souls and hell is the most typical "mystery".
Feeling and sensing. Li Mo could feel his vitality slipping away, but soon his vitality stopped slipping away. This was probably because after the "switch" was turned on, the energy entered the passive strengthening of body functions, and the activity of cells was greatly improved, but the corresponding result was the continuous consumption of vitality.
It was like the mana in the big source and the OD in the small source in the body combined to strengthen the body's functions. Mastering various mystical sciences and growing smoothly cut off this primitive way of consuming vitality.
It feels similar to strengthening magic, but the difference is that after the pattern is activated, the vitality is squeezed more efficiently and directly.
But, here comes the question… If that’s the case, why is death inevitable at the age of 25?
What about Yuichiro Tsugikoku?
But it didn't matter, Li Mo quickly figured out how to turn off the markings. Because of his physical condition, there were no markings on his head at all.
"Did it succeed?" asked Beimingyu Xingming.
"It's considered a success."
Li Mo spoke.
It was indeed a success. The bonus after the stripes were turned on was reflected in the data panel. However, it was turned off by Li himself after trying it. He already understood what the so-called stripes were. He also understood the principle, so it was natural to turn it off.
It just can't be seen from the outside.
Beimingyu Xingming said, "Let me try."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Beimingyu, let me study how to curb the side effects first."
"It doesn't matter. Let's talk about this after the decisive battle is over."
"You are adding more burden to my shoulders. No, I need to find a strong man."
Able-bodied men definitely do not refer to manual labor. There are a lot of such people. What Li Mo needs is researchers! Looking at the entire Demon Slayer Corps, there are only two and a half who can be called researchers.
One and a half refers to Tamayo and Yushiro, and one refers to Miss Tamayo, who is a complete expert in ghost research. Yushiro is half, and the reason why he is half is that he will not study without Miss Tamayo. All the study and research is for Tamayo.
The last one is the able-bodied man brought by Li Mo.
"So you called me over urgently to help you."
Shinobu Kocho, who had hurried over from the Butterfly House overnight, showed her eyes with slightly dark circles and spoke to Li Mo in front of her.
"Of course, the bodies of the gentlemen from Beiming Island are different from mine. To be on the safe side, we need to start from both medical and mystical aspects."
Butterfly remained silent for a moment, not knowing why she came over so hurriedly after seeing the envelope.
Immediately, the girl smiled and kicked the man on the calf.
A lot of strength is used.
Chapter 251: Girl's Thoughts
As a scholar and researcher, when Shinobu Kocho got the news and immediately dropped her research and ran over, only to find out that she was asked to help, she was furious.
She also knew about the final battle, which was not available to ordinary swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. But she was different. Like Ms. Tamayo, Shinobu Kocho was one of the few researchers in the Demon Slayer Corps. In the past two years, she and Ms. Tamayo had worked together to develop the wisteria flower toxin based on the weaknesses of demons, which effectively increased the survival rate of swordsmen against demons. At a critical moment, a handful of wisteria flower poison powder could weaken the demons.
However, using external objects may cause the swordsmen to relax themselves. Ultimately, the swordsmen still need to rely on their own martial arts and breathing techniques to fight against ghosts.
The same old problems are not what researchers like Shinobu Kocho care about. Even the lord doesn't have a headache about them. If you worry about them too much, you'd be meddling in other people's business.
"I'm beginning to regret coming here. Just recording various data, sister can do it too! There are all kinds of instruments here." Shinobu Kocho said.
After the initial outburst, Shinobu Kocho calmed down a lot, and asked a soul-searching question to Li for disturbing her without permission.
As a doctor, Kocho Kanae is also able to do her job well. She records various data about the swordsmen before the markings were activated, and tries to study the markings with the current level of technology.
She was too lazy to ask about the unfamiliar term "marked pattern". It was probably some kind of ability to develop human potential. As a researcher, she had already realized that killing ghosts on the front line was not necessarily a contribution. Working in the back with Miss Watching was also a contribution.
The man said in a low voice, "No, as a Hashira Kanae needs to train with Shinkomo to develop rapport."
"Tell the truth."
"Actually, it's because Makomo is very angry about my sneaking away. I suspect that if I stay alone with Kanae for too long, she will stab me eighteen times with her Nichirin sword."
It turns out you have some self-awareness.
After hearing this reason, Shinobu Kocho kicked Li Mo's calf again without any effort. Now everyone in the training ground basically knows that Li is a non-human being. Unlike the man-eating evil ghost like Muzan Kibutsuji, he is a monster.
Shinobu Kocho was not worried that the other person would be injured if she kicked him. She was even worried that she would use too much force and cause herself more pain - the effect of force is corresponding.
She also gave him a white eye, and based on her professional knowledge, Shinobu Kocho began to speak: "Is it really okay for Mr. Beimingyu to try? A body temperature of 39 degrees, and a heartbeat of 200 times per minute. This is too much of a load on the body."
This is enough to burn a person into a fool.
Li Mo explained: "It's only 39 degrees Celsius, he can be saved. Don't underestimate the Yin-Yang technique! This is not 39 degrees Kelvin."
Shinobu Kocho, who learned how to use the principle of leverage to solve difficult problems with her sister when she was a child, has some understanding of cutting-edge scientific knowledge.
She complained: "That's more than 100 degrees below zero."
"Yeah, so it can't be saved."
Li Mo shrugged. It was a situation that even gods couldn't save.
The two of them were joking around, but they were also paying attention to the progress of Gyoumei of Beiming Island. The Rock Pillar of the team was trying to activate the markings.
After calling for Shinobu Kocho to come and measuring various data, Li Mo told Beimingyu Xingming how to activate the pattern.
It is difficult for Beimingyu Xingming to reach such conditions by himself. The mechanism of the human body determines that the brain cannot do whatever it wants. As the center, the brain cannot completely control the actions of every cell and can only perform macro-control.
If we could really achieve that, then things like cancer would not exist!
Li Mo's assistance put Beimingyu Xingming into the prerequisite of opening the pattern. Whether the pattern can be opened depends on Beimingyu Xingming himself. All he can do is to ensure that his life is safe.
Fortunately, the quality of the Sad Island Xingming is strong enough. In Li Mo's memory, he is also one of the people who opened the stripes in the comics. As for whether he died because he was over 25 years old and had to die after opening the stripes, or did he die directly in battle?
