When Tanjiro saw the person who had arrived, a look of surprise and uncertainty flashed in his eyes.
But soon, he said with great surprise.
"Are you Mr. Sakonji Urokodaki?"
Urokodaki didn't speak, but calmly pushed open the door of the Buddhist Hall, then took the body out and dug a pit to bury it. Tanjiro also Past to help, but Su Chen just watched from the side.
After doing all this, Sakonji Urokodaki looked at Nezuko with some surprise. "She really is a demon."
Then he spoke calmly:
"Let's go. Since you were introduced by Giyu Tomioka, let me see if you're qualified to Demon Slayer Corps."
"Keep up."
Sakonji Urokodaki speaking, he paused for a moment and then ran off into the distance. Tanjiro, seeing this, quickly put Nezuko into the wooden box, picked her up, and chased Past.
Sakonji Urokodaki is incredibly fast, so fast that he seems almost weightless. Even when Tanjiro uses all his strength, he can barely keep up.
Sakonji Urokodaki turned his head and glanced at it, then frowned slightly.
Didn't that person come along?
In his opinion, Su Chen could kill a ghost with a single blow, so logically his physical abilities should be even better, right?
Why haven't you caught up yet?
The moment this thought arose, Su Chen's figure caught up from behind. He was extremely fast and arrived at Tanjiro's side in just a moment.
Then he followed closely Sakonji Urokodaki.
Tanjiro kept running and was already panting heavily, but he still forced himself to keep up. Su Chen, on the other hand, was completely calm and didn't even break a sweat.
Sakonji Urokodaki glanced at Su Chen with a somewhat solemn expression. He remembered what Giyu Tomioka had said: apart from Tanjiro, Su Chen gave him a very unusual feeling.
Giyu Tomioka's original words were that Su Chen had a very unusual aura about him.
That's... the scent of a strong person.
Once Su Chen joins the Demon Slayer Corps, he might even become a Pillar in the Future.
Because of the high praise Giyu Tomioka had for Su Chen, Sakonji Urokodaki was extremely serious about him.
Soon, Sakonji Urokodaki led them to the cabin in the woods. Tanjiro was already out of breath and collapsed on the ground, almost choking.
Sakonji Urokodaki gave Su Chen a deep look, his eyes filled with shock. "Take a break, the second Trial will begin soon."
"In the meantime, I'll first explain to you how demons are born, and... the Demon Slayer Corps."
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro's rapid breathing gradually calmed down, because he didn't want to miss a single word.
He felt he had to take revenge because his entire family had been killed by ghosts.
Sakonji Urokodaki's calm voice rang out. "Demons are creatures that have existed for countless years. They are immortal and indestructible. Only sunlight and... a specially tempered Nichirin Blade that cuts their necks can kill them."
"Ghosts feed on the flesh and blood of living beings; they are Evil creatures. They possess various abilities, such as Special Ability and methods to enhance their physical bodies, making them extremely powerful."
"But there are also beings among humans who can rival them, namely the Demon Slayer Corps. They are the only organization that can restrain demons, and among the Demon Slayer Corps, the Pillars are the most powerful..."
Su Chen's expression remained unchanged throughout, but Tanjiro felt he had benefited greatly and learned a lot.
"And my identity is that of Cultivator, specializing in training qualified members for the Demon Slayer Corps."
After speaking for a while, Sakonji Urokodaki stood up again. "Now that we've rested, it's time for the next Trial."
Are there any more Trial?
Sakonji Urokodaki led Su Chen and Tanjiro to the mountain behind them. The surrounding fog Yuelai thicker and thicker until they reached the top of the mountain, where they could only see about three to five meters around them. Tanjiro could barely see the path they had taken to get there.
Upon reaching the summit, Sakonji Urokodaki calmly stated:
"This Trial is simple; you just need to get down the mountain."
The dense fog on this mountain will severely impair your sense of direction and judgment; the only way to get down is by smell.
After speaking, Sakonji Urokodaki turned and disappeared into the thick fog.
Su Chen didn't waste any words and ran straight down the mountain. His speed was ridiculously fast, and he almost immediately locked onto a direction.
At the foot of the mountain.
Sakonji Urokodaki turned his head to look at the mountaintop. "Chen Tian, that's a strange name. I wonder when you'll be able to get out of here."
Chen Tian had shown excellent physical condition before, even surpassing many Demon Slayer Corps, but descending from this mountain wouldn't be easy.
The moment this thought crossed his mind, Su Chen's figure slowly walked over from a distance.
The sound of crisp footsteps continued.
Sakonji Urokodaki froze on the spot, staring at Su Chen in disbelief. He'd just stepped down, and Su Chen had followed him down immediately?
This is... terrifying!
The fog in the mountains is very thick; to descend so quickly, one must have an extremely keen sense of smell.
He had never encountered someone whose body was so terrifying in every way; at least, this shouldn't be the case for someone who hadn't even officially joined the Demon Slayer Corps Trainees yet.
This gave him the feeling that Chen Tian could go directly to the final Trial of Mt. Fujikasane without going through the subsequent trials.
However, the necessary procedures still need to be followed; he has to be responsible to Su Chen.
"Now that you're back, why don't you take a rest?"
Around dawn, Tanjiro finally came down from the mountain, panting heavily, but Su Chen had already been waiting for quite some time.
In the time that followed, it was Sakonji Urokodaki who led the two of them through training, or rather, Tanjiro's training.
For Su Chen, it was hardly a training exercise, because he could easily complete all the training that Urokodaki required without any difficulty.
After some practice, I began to learn basic knife skills.
A knife can only be used for vertical slashes; slashing horizontally will cause the blade to break. Therefore, they are learning how to use a knife and how to swing it.
Sakonji Urokodaki placed several small haystacks in front of him, then raised his sword and swung it down. The sword was silent, and the small haystacks were cut straight through, leaving a perfectly clean cut.
"Chen Tian, why don't you give it a try?"
Sakonji Urokodaki looked at Su Chen, wanting to see just how good this guy was.
Su Chen took the knife, then raised his hand and swung it, slicing the small haystack cleanly once again, almost exactly the same as Sakonji Urokodaki's.
"This..."
Sakonji Urokodaki couldn't help but swallow hard. Although he knew Su Chen would learn very quickly, he hadn't expected it to be this fast.
They seem born to be part of the Demon Slayer Corps.
It couldn't even be called learning; it felt like Su Chen already knew it.
Tanjiro thought it would be easy, so he tried it out. However, when he swung his sword, he couldn't even cut through a third of the haystack, and the cut was crooked and uneven. Compared to Su Chen, the difference was huge.
