The walking dragon son

Tomioka Yoshiyuki felt something stabbing his face, and he opened his eyes under the sting.

The last scene in his memory was Ciel swinging his sword with a black line hanging on his forehead, and then he fainted.

After looking at the crows that kept pecking at his face, Tomioka Giyu got up and said: "Kansaburo, please go and report what happened here to my lord."

The crow, who looked like he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, screamed, then spread his wings and flew out.

Tomioka Giyuu sighed and looked at the gray sky.

He was actually not as calm as he appeared. Although he didn't believe that ghosts would give up eating people, the sight of Nezuko and Tanjiro cuddling together really touched him.

So he did hesitate, so he was easily knocked unconscious by Ciel.

But Tomioka Yoshiyuki was also thinking about what choices he would have made if he had not been knocked unconscious.

He shook his head to get rid of these unnecessary thoughts. As the pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, he must not be shaken.

……

On the flatbed truck, Ciel, Stella, and the two Kamado sisters were all sitting on the truck, and the one pulling the truck was naturally Tanjiro.

The handlebars of the cart were tied with a rope, and the rope was put around Tanjiro's shoulders.

Walking on the snow is already strenuous, let alone pulling a heavy vehicle. Tanjiro's face turned red and his eyes almost bulged out.

White air spurted out of his nostrils, and Tanjiro seemed to hear his muscles and bones creaking.

Ciel was always decisive in doing things, so since he said he wanted to train Tanjiro, he naturally had to start immediately.

Ciel knocked out Tomioka Giyu at Tanjiro's house, and then buried his family with Tanjiro. Then Ciel took Tanjiro on a training trip.

The end point of this journey is of course to find Muzan Kibutsuji and kill him, the source of all evil.

In the process, Ciel will help Tanjiro learn how to fight and become stronger, and the evil ghosts he encounters along the way will be his sparring partners.

Training, of course, starts with enhancing physical fitness. After all, strong physical fitness is the foundation of all skills.

Tanjiro's physical strength is actually very good. Although he has never exercised seriously, he has learned breathing techniques and has been doing physical labor of cutting wood and burning charcoal.

But this is far from enough, let alone fighting ghosts, even completing all the concentrated breathing techniques is impossible.

Sun Breathing is the most powerful breathing method, but it is also the most domineering and difficult to master.

It was precisely because the group of swordsmen from a hundred years ago could not learn the Breath of the Sun that they developed other breathing methods under the guidance of Enichi Jiguo.

In the original plot, even Tanjiro, who had completed the Breath of Water and Tsunaka training, was unable to fight using the Breath of the Sun for a long time, so he had to develop a method of mixing the Breath of the Water and the Sun.

And now Tanjiro can't even do the full concentration of ordinary breathing techniques, let alone Sun Breathing.

But there is no shortcut to this kind of exercise, you can only endure the pain.

In order to adapt to pain, human muscles, nerves, bones and internal organs will naturally continue to strengthen. To put it bluntly, exercise is about exchanging pain for strength.

Fortunately, Tanjiro is a strong and resilient man. Although the steps were faltering, he never gave up and moved forward.

On the cart, Stella combed Nezuko's hair like a doll, but Nezuko just kept letting Stella do it, looking dumb.

Kamado Hanako couldn't help showing a sad expression as she watched her formerly gentle sister turn into a child.

Kamado Hanako, who had fully recovered before setting off, came to her senses. The girl acted strong after learning what happened at home.

Perhaps gentleness and strength are the excellent qualities that have been flowing in the blood of the Kamado family since Kamado Tankichi.

Kamado Hanako remembered the way her mother stood in front of her, so the girl valued her current life and her remaining family more than her sadness.

Charles patted the little girl's head and said, "Don't worry, your brother will definitely make her change back! Isn't he working hard for this?"

Nezuko also leaned over, stretched out her little hand and touched her sister's head.

Seeing this heartwarming scene in front of him, Ciel turned around and shouted: "Tanjiro, your breathing rhythm is messed up!"

"I see!"

Tanjiro replied, and then quickly adjusted his breathing.

The so-called breathing method is a special breathing method that can inhale more oxygen to exercise and strengthen various organs of the body.

And mobilizing the entire body into the breathing method to maximize the effect is the so-called total concentration of breathing.

Even if it is not full concentration, using breathing techniques can still have a good exercise effect. However, this breathing method is completely different from the natural and normal breathing of human beings, so the burden on people is really not small.

Especially in this severe cold weather, the air is cold, so you have to inhale a lot of air when using the breathing method.

The human respiratory system does regulate the temperature of the air it inhales, but there are limits.

Tanjiro felt like his lungs were about to be frostbitten, and he felt like they were about to explode at any moment. That's why my breathing just now was unconsciously disordered.

But when Ciel reminded him, he quickly adjusted.

Just like that, carrying the feeling of dying at any moment, Tanjiro pulled the car down the mountain.

The goal Ciel gave him was to stop only when he saw an inhabited place, and there was a small village in front of him.

Now is the Taisho Era. Although the Meiji Restoration has brought unprecedented prosperity to several large cities in the island country, rural areas like this are still lagging behind.

There are quite traditional wooden buildings in this village, but the villagers are not that exclusive.

Although Ciel and his group seemed quite strange, the villagers took the group in because they felt sorry for Tanjiro who was so tired.

Of course, exercise must be moderate, otherwise it will not only make you stronger but will cause your body to collapse. This is also the reason why normal exercise is not efficient.

But with Ciel here, how could this be a problem.

After drinking a bottle of vitality potion prepared by Ciel himself, Tanjiro was surprised to find that the fatigue and aches in his body had disappeared.

Then the rest time he had been thinking about disappeared, and what followed was Ciel's combat training.

"The movement of Kagura, the God of Fire, is the sword form of Breath of the Sun. All you have to do now is apply it in battle."

"The movements are messy again. Didn't I tell you that you must maintain a good balance in battle!"

"Don't forget to cooperate with your breathing. The bodies of ordinary humans cannot be compared with ghosts. You can only fight ghosts when you use the breathing method!"

Ciel said, and the wooden sword in his hand violently flew Tanjiro away.

Tanjiro got up with a wry smile. Although this was training, he really felt that he might be killed by Ciel at any time.

But even so, after hearing Ciel's instructions, he still replied vigorously: "I understand, please continue!"
