Chapter 647: Yecheng's Self-Created Breath Technique
Chapter 647: Yecheng's Self-Created Breath Technique
As a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, Yecheng witnessed the training of many fellow corps members daily.
Especially since Yecheng admired and owed a favor to Scales Taki and Inferno, he asked them to demonstrate the Water and Flame Breath Techniques for him.
As two of the five fundamental breath techniques, the ones they displayed provided Yecheng with further inspiration.
The so-called "Breath Techniques" are a form of combat assistance.
Designed to counter demons with far superior physical abilities to humans, these techniques enhance one's physical capabilities, collectively known as "Concentration Breath."
The principle involves strengthening the cardiovascular system, allowing the blood to absorb a large amount of oxygen in a short time, resulting in a sudden surge in physical abilities and temporarily attaining physical prowess comparable to demons.
The higher realm of Concentration Breath is the ability to maintain absolute focus on breathing, even during sleep, known as "Continuous Concentration Breath."
Different frequencies and methods of breathing techniques have led to various styles, and correspondingly, diverse techniques have emerged to complement them.
Yecheng, a kendo expert, quickly grasped the fundamentals of breath techniques and their principles.
Unlike ordinary people, individuals in this world enhance their cardiovascular systems and improve their physical abilities by utilizing the abundant oxygen generated through breathing.
However, Yecheng's breath technique relies not on oxygen but on his unique spiritual energy!
Indeed, upon arriving in this world, Yecheng realized his transformation from a spiritual entity to a physical one. Nonetheless, his possession of spiritual energy is undeniable.
Since both techniques aim to strengthen the cardiovascular system, why not utilize the more potent spiritual energy instead of the commonplace oxygen?
Initially, Yecheng's experimentation was akin to feeling his way across a river, encountering numerous obstacles and even coming close to fatal accidents.
The human body's internal organs are fragile, and while the concept of a "Spiritual Energy Breath Technique" seemed sound, spiritual energy proved to be far more forceful than oxygen.
Without adapting to and mastering the rhythm of breathing, Yecheng nearly succumbed to internal organ rupture.
Fortunately, his exceptional physique allowed him to survive multiple near-death experiences, and eventually, his "Spiritual Breath Technique" reached a basic level of proficiency.
When Yecheng successfully executed a complete breath for the first time, the entire Demon Slayer Corps felt the impact.
Compared to others, the commotion caused by Yecheng's breath technique training was astonishing!
The air in the Demon Slayer world contains spiritual particles, but they are relatively weak and pale in comparison to the Soul Society.
To utilize the breath technique, Yecheng absorbed all the surrounding spiritual particles into his body, naturally creating an incredibly powerful effect!
The most intense breath techniques others could manage was exhaling a white mist.
In contrast, Yecheng's Continuous Concentration Breath was akin to a whale swallowing, instantly creating a vacuum-like environment within a one-meter radius!
While both are breath techniques, if Yecheng's technique were even more powerful, others would find it impossible to execute their techniques in his presence.
The reason is simple; Yecheng's breathing has created a vacuum, including the oxygen around him. How can you use breathing techniques to enhance your cardiovascular system and improve your physical abilities under such conditions?
Upon witnessing the commotion caused by Yecheng's breath technique training, Scales Taki and Inferno were left speechless.
Previously, when Yecheng sought their guidance on breath techniques, they had suspected he might delve into breath technique research.
They never expected that Night City would create his own unique breathing technique so quickly, and just from the sheer power of it, they knew it was astonishing.
Previously, Night City was considered a "genius" in their eyes, but now it seems they had greatly underestimated his abnormality.
This guy isn't just a genius, he's a complete monster!
Although the Demon Slayer Corps members weren't sure which breathing technique Night City had mastered, they could confirm that it was extraordinary and unlike any existing technique.
Among the known breathing techniques, none could create such a commotion like Night City did.
It was just a month after Night City mastered his breathing technique that he rose from being a Demon Slayer Corps member to becoming one of the Pillars.
Everything happened as if it were a natural progression, and when Genyuu Tsugikado proposed this, there was no opposition from anyone in the Demon Slayer Corps, not even from the other Pillars.
Fujisaki's Thousand Demon Slaying, and in just three days, he eliminated all the targets of the Demon Slayer Corps, including three Waning Moon Zanpakutou among the Twelve Moon Ghosts. These achievements were enough to prove Night City's capabilities.
Shortly after, within less than a week, Night City created his own unique breathing technique, fully demonstrating his innate talent.
With both strength and astonishing talent, and at such a young age, even the veteran Water Pillar and Flame Pillar highly praised him. It was only natural that Night City's ascension to become one of the Pillars faced no obstacles.
As a result, Night City set the record for the fastest promotion to a Pillar in history.
From the time he joined the Demon Slayer Corps to becoming one of the Pillars, it took less than half a month, setting the record for the fastest promotion in history.
A
Two years passed quickly, and Night City, who was once unknown, gradually gained fame within the Demon Slayer Corps. He even had a brief encounter with the big boss, Gyutaro Kurado.
To be precise, it was Gyutaro Kurado who actively sought out Night City.
The consecutive deaths of the Twelve Moon Ghosts within a short period attracted Gyutaro Kurado's attention.
Although the Waning Moon Ghosts were frequently replaced in batches, they were still high-ranking subordinates empowered by Gyutaro Kurado himself. Now, within a short time, they were eliminated by the same person, which naturally aroused Gyutaro Kurado's suspicions.
Following various clues, Gyutaro Kurado quickly located the village where Night City resided and saw him playing with the children from afar.
Gyutaro Kurado never expected that just by observing from a distance, he would be discovered by Night City.
And at the moment Night City looked towards him, Gyutaro Kurado felt a sense of impending death for the second time in a thousand years!
Despite Night City doing nothing, Gyutaro Kurado felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and this feeling wasn't the first time he had experienced it...
The same sense of danger he felt from a man named Kyokun Egami years ago resurfaced, and now, after many years, the second person who made Gyutaro Kurado feel threatened had appeared in this world!
