"Yeah, what about it?" Musashi asked as a matter of course when he saw Tanjirou's reaction.
In his opinion, this should be something everyone can do, but his words scared Tanjirou.
Is Musashi trying to dissect me?
"This kind of thing shouldn't be possible, right?" Tanjirou asked Musashi seriously.
Musashi, on the other hand, was confused by Tanjirou's words and asked him back, somewhat uncomprehendingly, "Isn't this something you can do if you just focus 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 and didn't understand what Musashi was saying.
Musashi felt something was off when Tanjirou still looked confused.
Can't other people do this?
"Can't you see the internal structure of my body now? Can't you see everything I just said? 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." Musashi asked Tanjirou again.
Transparent World… restrained aura…
Hearing Musashi say this, Tanjirou felt as if he was recalling something.
"You saw it, 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 jingling 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 had no wavering, was always fearless and unafraid, and did not emit any killing intent, still standing quietly in the snow like a plant.
"You saw it, 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 at that time? He was definitely not the kind of person who would show off his strength wantonly.
Could it be… what Musashi said is what Father wanted me to see at that time? Was Father teaching me how to see such a Transparent World?
…
"Tanjirou! Tanjirou!" Musashi 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. Musashi called him, but he didn't respond. Musashi 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. This is all to make you sober up.
Musashi slowly raised his right hand, making up his mind.
Just as Musashi was about to strike, Tanjirou woke up.
"Musashi, what are you doing?"
Tanjirou looked at Musashi's raised right hand and asked him suspiciously.
"You're awake, that's good. I was just about to make you sober up." Musashi was also very happy to see Tanjirou awake and put down his raised right hand.
…How were you planning to make me sober up!
Tanjirou was somewhat glad that he woke up early.
"Musashi, the world in your eyes seems to be different from ours." The recent memory made Tanjirou understand some things, and he spoke to Musashi.
"So you can't see what I just said?"
Musashi also guessed a little and asked Tanjirou.
Tanjirou nodded at the words, and then continued, "My father also seems to be able to see such a Transparent World like you, and he can also make people unable to perceive his existence like a plant.
Once before…"
Tanjirou recounted the memories he had just recalled to Musashi.
"What Father wanted me to see at that time should be the Transparent World in your eyes, but unfortunately, I never understood it in the past, and even though I understand it now, I still can't do it." Tanjirou said with some sadness.
After listening to Tanjirou's narration, Musashi understood that what he could see was due to his talent and not something everyone possessed. However, because of this, even if he wanted to teach Tanjirou how to see the Transparent World, he couldn't.
"I believe you will also be able to see that Transparent World in the future." Helpless, Musashi 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 regained his fighting spirit in an instant and said with a firm voice.
"Then I will now demonstrate Hinokami Kagura to you." Tanjirou said to Musashi.
"Okay, if I find anything, I'll tell you." Musashi nodded in response.
Then Tanjirou walked to the center of the training ground and was about to draw his Nichirin Sword, but then realized that his Nichirin Sword had been broken in the battle on Mount Natagumo, and the newly forged blade had not yet arrived.
"Um… my Nichirin Sword broke in battle."
Tanjirou scratched his head and looked at Musashi, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Use mine first." Musashi understood his meaning and handed him his Nichirin Sword.
"Thank you." Tanjirou thanked him, then drew the Nichirin Sword. Musashi stood by, watching him closely, observing his physical condition.
Recalling the Kagura dance and Breathing Technique that Tanjiro had taught him before, Tanjirou closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
!
Musashi, who was observing Tanjirou's internal body with the 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.
Musashi thought to himself, but he didn't immediately tell Tanjirou about this, after all, Tanjirou had just started demonstrating, and there were still many uncertainties.
Tanjirou naturally didn't notice the change in Musashi's heart. He had already entered the state and began to perform Hinokami Kagura.
Accompanying Tanjirou's breathing, a fiery red flame ascended on the obsidian-like black Nichirin Sword, covering the entire blade.
"Hinokami Kagura • Waltz!"
Tanjirou swung his blade and slashed forward with an arc-shaped attack entwined with flames, and the scorching flames made the air hot.
That's right, it's Sun Breathing, basically consistent with my Breathing Technique, and the form it exhibits is also the same.
And… this sword technique is truly exquisite! It is concise and practical, perfectly utilizing the strength of the entire body, maximizing the power of the sword technique, and at the same time, the movements are extremely beautiful.
The person who designed such a sword technique is definitely a top-tier powerhouse!
