Start From Soul Society and Cutting Through All the Worlds Chapter 658

Chapter 658 The final selection begins!

Time flies by like a fleeting moment, and it has been two years since I went to practice in Mount Sawu.

When he recalled the encounter between Yashiro and Tomioka Giyu in the snow two years ago, as well as every detail of his training in the past two years, Tanjiro couldn't help but feel as if he was in another world.

Two years ago, he followed Ye Cheng's instructions and indeed found an old man named Nintaki Sakonji in Saagiri Mountain.

At the beginning, when he saw himself and his sister Midouzi who had turned into a cannibal, the old man didn't treat them very favorably.

And it wasn't until Tanjiro expressed his intention to come and said that he was introduced by Yashiro that Nintaki Sakonji chose to take them in.

At the beginning, Nintaki Sakonji was indeed not very optimistic about Tanjiro.

Although Tanjiro's courage and perseverance are quite good, he lacks another extremely important quality, which is the so-called determination!

Faced with an evil ghost that preys on humans, he actually has no determination to kill him. He wants to be a member of the Demon Slayer Corps but dare not kill ghosts. How is this possible?

But the other party was introduced by Ye Cheng, and he owed Ye Cheng a favor.

So even though he was a little dissatisfied with Tanjiro, Rintaki Sakonji finally accepted Tanjiro as his disciple.

And facts have also proved that the infection ability of the World Son with the protagonist's aura is indeed Ex level.

Two years have passed, and Tanjiro's daily efforts and persistence have all been seen by Nintaki Sakonji.

So, full of emotions, Rataaki Sakonji, who was slightly dissatisfied with Tanjiro at the beginning, was gradually touched by the feelings of Tanjiro and his sister, and even slowly relieved his knot.

Tanjiro also mastered the "Water Breathing Technique" under the guidance of Nintaki Sakonji, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds.

And now he is no longer the immature boy who couldn't kill the cannibal.

The reason is also very simple. Kintaki Sakonji took Tanjiro to see a scene of an ogre attacking humans.

Previously, Tanjiro was unable to kill the cannibals because the cannibals were not much different from normal people based on their appearance.

After witnessing a scene of cannibals cannibalizing humans, Tanjiro finally understood a truth.

That is, although their appearance has not changed, the cannibal ghosts have become a group of demons in human skin. If they are not killed, more people will only die because of them.

Of course, his sister Midouzi is an exception!

At the same time, Tanjiro also understood the reason why Giyu Tomioka insisted on killing his sister.

Wisteria Mountain is famous for the wisteria flowers that bloom all year round at the foot of the mountain.

Because the area where Tengxi Mountain is located is covered with thick fog all year round, sunlight often cannot reach this place, and the cannibals in the mountain will not die due to exposure to sunlight.

And because of the wisteria flowers at the foot of the mountain, the cannibals were unable to cross this barrier, which made the mountain seem like a huge prison for cannibals.

The wisteria flowers are in full bloom above and below, making it as beautiful as a fairyland on earth, but the mountain seems dark and dangerous, like two extremes.

And just when Tanjiro and other people who finally participated in the "final selection" gathered at this time, two children with lanterns in their hands, one black and one white, slowly walked out of the torii.

And as the examiners, they directly explained that the passing rules for the "final selection" were to survive in the Vine Attack Mountain for seven days.

Looking at the two strange children with black and white hair in front of them, Tanjiro and others were quite surprised. It seemed that they did not expect that the "final selection" would be hosted by such two children. However, if other courtyard pillars were here, they would probably think this was quite normal, because the two children who appeared here were the children of their lord.

Among them, the white-haired child is Uyashiki Kanata, the youngest daughter of Uyashiki Yōya.

And the black-haired child, although dressed as a woman, is indeed the only successor to the Demon Slayer Lord, Teruya Ubuyashiki.

Compared with the previous "final selection", this time Teriya and the others not only explained the rules, but also gave Tanjiro and the others some kind advice.

"The purpose of passing the final selection conditions is just to allow you to survive, so I advise you not to choose to show off your strength unless necessary.

Many of the people present were outstanding disciples of the Court Pillars, and even their stepsons. If they died here because of their bravery, it would be a loss to the Demon Slayer Corps. "

As soon as Terurizai finished speaking, a young man with a dark comb haircut and a terrible scar on his right face extending to his nose yelled angrily with an unhappy look on his face: "Are you kidding me? You mean to let us all hide." stand up?

The Demon Slayer Corps was originally created to kill cannibals, and the "Final Selection" is also an assessment to test whether we are qualified to join the Demon Slayer Corps.

But you told us to hide, so what's the point of the assessment itself? "

Although Xuanya Immortal's tone was a little louder, it has to be said that most of the assessors present agreed with what he said now.

This is the nature of young people. In order to participate in the "final selection", they all went through all kinds of hard training under the guidance of their respective teachers.

Now that they have finally learned something, they can show off their talents, but the examiner told them that the assessment is mainly based on self-protection. Isn't this looking down on them!

"If it were the final selection in previous years, we would not give you such advice.

But I can tell you clearly now that the cannibals in Tengxi Mountain are completely different from those in the past. "

At the same time that Teriya finished speaking, his sister Ubuyashiki Kanakata, who was like a twin to him, also spoke: "The cannibals before Fujisei Mountain were all the lowest-level cannibals.

The strength of cannibals can be judged by the number of people they eat. In the past, most of the cannibals in Tengxi Mountain were low-level people who only ate one or two people.

Moreover, they have been trapped in the vine-covered mountains all year round, and without blood food supplements, they are actually extremely weak, so they are just the right candidates for assessment as you trainee ghost-slaying swordsmen. "

"But just two years ago, a certain man appeared and all the cannibals in Tengxi Mountain were killed overnight.

I believe you have heard of this rumor, right? "

After hearing what the Ubuyashiki twins said, the people present, including Genya Fusugawa, Zenitsu my wife, Kurihana Rakana and others, all had serious expressions on their faces.

Naturally, they had heard of the rumors about Hiruzen Thousand Ghosts, as they had a close relationship with Tingzhu.

"But what does the 'Thousand Slashing Spiritual Pillars' have to do with this final selection?" My wife Zenitsu asked uneasily.

"It's very simple, because the cannibals in the Vine Attack Mountain now are all supplemented by the "Thousand-Slashing Spiritual Pillar" you call it, with the cooperation of the other two pillars.

Since these cannibals were thrown into the Vine Raid Mountain not long ago, they are still in a strong state today. "
