"Yeah, what about it?" Chiba Yo said naturally, seeing Tanjirou's reaction.
In his opinion, this should be something everyone can do, but his words scared Tanjirou.
Is Yo trying to dissect me?
"You can't do this kind of thing, can you?" Tanjirou asked Chiba Yo seriously.
Chiba Yo, hearing Tanjirou's words, felt confused and asked him back, somewhat uncomprehendingly, "Isn't this something you can do if you just concentrate a little? Observe the flow of blood, the operation of organs, the contraction and expansion of muscles, and thereby predict the opponent's next move."
…
Tanjirou was completely bewildered, not understanding what Chiba Yo was talking about at all.
Chiba Yo saw that Tanjirou was still looking confused and felt that something was wrong.
Can't other people do this kind of thing?
"Can't you see the internal structure of my body now? Can't you see everything I just mentioned? It's like entering a Transparent World, where the essence of all living things is crystal clear in your eyes.
And at this time, your own aura will also become restrained, making it difficult for others to perceive." Chiba Yo asked Tanjirou again.
Transparent World… restrained aura…
Hearing Chiba Yo say this, Tanjirou felt as if he was recalling something.
"You saw it all, didn't you?"
A familiar voice echoed from the depths of his memory.
Father…
Past memories appeared in his mind.
Under the moonlight, facing the giant bear that stood almost nine feet tall, Tanjiro leaped high with an axe in his hand, and the cold winter made the breath he exhaled turn into a white rainbow.
The next moment, accompanied by the clang of bells, the giant bear's head fell onto the snow with a thud, and then its body also fell with a "thump".
Tanjiro also landed back on the ground.
From beginning to end, Tanjirou smelled that Tanjiro showed no wavering, was always fearless and unafraid, and did not emit even a hint of killing intent, still standing quietly on the snow like a plant.
"You saw it all, didn't you?"
At this moment, Tanjiro turned his head and said to Tanjirou.
"Never forget everything you just saw."
…
What did Father want me to see then? He was definitely not the kind of person who would wantonly show off his strength.
Could it be… what Yo said is what Father wanted me to see then? Was Father teaching me how to see such a Transparent World?
…
"Tanjirou! Tanjirou!" Chiba Yo waved his hand in front of Tanjirou's eyes and loudly called his name.
From the moment he finished speaking, Tanjirou had been standing there motionless, and Chiba Yo called him but he didn't respond. Chiba Yo even felt that Tanjirou was possessed and was about to slap him to wake him up.
It seems this is the only way. Tanjirou, don't blame me, it's all to make you sober up.
Chiba Yo slowly raised his right hand, having made up his mind.
Just as Chiba Yo was about to strike, Tanjirou woke up.
"Yo, what are you doing?"
Tanjirou looked at Chiba Yo's raised right hand and asked him confusedly.
"You're awake, that's good. I was just about to make you sober up." Seeing Tanjirou wake up, Chiba Yo was also very happy and put down his raised right hand.
…How were you planning to make me sober up!
Tanjirou was somewhat glad he woke up early.
"Yo, the world in your eyes seems to be different from ours." The recent memory made Tanjirou understand some things, and he spoke to Chiba Yo.
"So you can't see what I just said?"
Chiba Yo also guessed a bit and asked Tanjirou.
Tanjirou nodded at his words, and then continued, "My father also seemed to be able to see such a Transparent World like you, and could make his presence difficult to detect, like a plant.
There was one time before…"
Tanjirou recounted the past he had just recalled to Chiba Yo.
"What Father wanted me to see then should have been the Transparent World in your eyes, but unfortunately, I never understood it in the past, and even now that I understand, I still can't do it." Tanjirou said with some dejection.
After listening to Tanjirou's narration, Chiba Yo understood that what he could see was due to talent, and not everyone possessed it. However, because of this, even if he wanted to teach Tanjirou how to see the Transparent World, he couldn't.
"I believe you will definitely be able to see that Transparent World in the future." Helpless, Chiba Yo could only pat Tanjirou's shoulder and comfort him.
"Yes! I will work even harder! I will definitely master everything my father taught me!" Tanjirou instantly regained his fighting spirit and said with a firm voice.
"Then I will now demonstrate Hinokami Kagura to you." Tanjirou said to Chiba Yo.
"Hmm, if I find anything, I'll tell you." Chiba Yo nodded in response.
Then Tanjirou walked to the center of the training ground, intending to draw his nichirin blade, but then realized that his nichirin blade had broken during the battle on Mount Natagumo, and the newly forged blade had not yet arrived.
"Um… my nichirin blade broke in battle."
Tanjirou scratched his head and looked at Chiba Yo, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Use mine first." Chiba Yo understood his meaning and handed him his nichirin blade.
"Thank you." Tanjirou thanked him, and then drew the nichirin blade. Chiba Yo stood by, staring intently at him, observing his physical condition.
Recalling the God Moon Dance and Breathing Technique that Tanjiro had previously taught him, Tanjirou closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
!
Chiba Yo, who was observing Tanjirou's internal body with Transparent World, suddenly felt extremely surprised.
This Breathing Technique… how is it so similar to my Breathing Technique? But there still seem to be subtle differences.
Chiba Yo thought to himself, but he didn't immediately tell Tanjirou about it, as Tanjirou had just begun his demonstration, and there were still many uncertainties.
Tanjirou naturally didn't realize the change in Chiba Yo's mind. He was now in the zone and began to perform Hinokami Kagura.
As Tanjirou breathed, a fiery red flame ascended from the black nichirin blade, which was like obsidian, covering the entire blade.
"Hinokami Kagura • Waltz!"
Tanjirou swung his blade forward, unleashing an arc-shaped slash entwined with flames, and the scorching heat made the air grow hot.
That's right, it's Sun Breathing, basically identical to my Breathing Technique, and the form it manifests is also the same.
And… this sword skill is truly exquisite! It's simple yet practical, perfectly utilizing the body's full strength to maximize the sword skill's power, while also being extremely beautiful in its movements.
The person who designed such a sword skill is definitely a top-tier powerhouse!
