He encountered a ghost as soon as he entered, and killed it with all his might. But unexpectedly, another one appeared. He was already exhausted and injured in the last battle, so he could only run away when he encountered another ghost.
"Help! Someone help me!"
His eyes were filled with despair; he didn't want to die here.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded from afar, and Su Chen, carrying the Nichirin Blade, slowly emerged from the Mountain Forest.
When the boy saw Su Chen, it was as if he had seen a savior. He scrambled Past Su Chen.
"Help! Help!"
He kept calling out, his eyes filled with a longing for life.
Su Chen glanced at him, then coldly looked at the ghost ahead.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect another human to come. I've been locked up here for years, and finally I can eat people, and I can even eat two at once."
Buy one get one free?
Upon seeing Su Chen, the ghost's expression became extremely excited, as if Su Chen were already his for the taking.
"Die!"
The ghost was incredibly fast, arriving in front of Su Chen almost in the blink of an eye.
"What are you doing? Fight back now!"
Seeing that Su Chen was still standing there in a daze, the boys behind him were dumbfounded. The demons of Mt. Fujikasane were not very strong, and could basically be defeated as long as one tried hard, but Su Chen did not move an inch.
Is this guy an idiot!?
Without saying a word, the boy tried to run away.
However, at that moment, Su Chen made a move.
His hand quickly pressed onto the hilt of the knife, and then his breathing began to change.
"The Water Breathing, the Fifth Form, the Drying Rain."
The blue light of the blade bloomed like a tide, instantly severing the ghost's neck and causing its body to rapidly dissipate.
Su Chen glanced at the person who was still running away, then turned and continued walking deeper into the area. Almost every ghost he passed was killed.
He won't follow the original plot exactly.
Since he wants to be a Demon Hunter, then he should give those ghosts a real shock.
There's a human here!
Suddenly, three ghosts appeared in the forest. Normally, ghosts don't cooperate in groups, but they seemed to be cooperating to resist something, so they gathered together.
Upon seeing Su Chen, the three ghosts all showed excitement and quickly pounced on him.
Su Chen raised his hand, spoke softly, and then waved his hand, as if water were appearing in front of him:
"First Form: Water Surface Slash"
The three ghosts had their necks severed and began to dissipate.
Su Chen continued walking forward, slowly disappearing into the Mountain Forest.
Killing this kind of ghost was almost effortless for him.
Although Su Chen sealed his physical body, the upper limit of his physical body was simply too high. Even with just a little cultivation, he had already become extremely powerful. In terms of strength alone, Su Chen was probably already at the middle level of the Pillars.
Wherever he went, almost every ghost was easily killed.
"What's going on? Why didn't we encounter any ghosts in Mt. Fujikasane?"
"I just ran around for ages and didn't encounter a single ghost. What's going on? It's supposed to be a seven-day survival challenge, but this is way too easy!"
"My brother is also Demon Hunter, and he told me that this Final Selection could very well result in someone's death, but this doesn't seem to have any risk at all."
Many of the apprentice Demon Hunter looked surprised, clearly not understanding what was going on.
Normally, there should be quite a few demons in Mt. Fujikasane, but there are none now.
Su Chen continued walking forward. His nose twitched as he smelled the scent of a ghost. It was a rather peculiar scent, almost stronger than any ghost he had encountered before.
"Another Disciple of Urokodaki. I wonder how much pain that guy is Urokodaki. Every time, I end up killing his Disciple!"
Su Chen slowly emerged from the Mountain Forest. Not far in front of him, a ghost covered in hands, swollen like a tumor, was laughing wildly.
Tanjiro was lying on the ground in front of him, clearly unconscious.
Su Chen knew this ghost; he had been captured by Urokodaki before, and so he was frantically taking revenge on Urokodaki's Disciple in this Mt. Fujikasane. In order to survive, he devoured his own kind, so his strength was much greater than that of other ghosts.
Footsteps sounded.
The ghost immediately turned its head to look, and after seeing Su Chen, it stopped at the 'Disaster-Averting Mask' on Su Chen's waist. This thing was almost exclusively owned by Urokodaki, and only he would give this mask to his students.
Su Chen studied under Urokodaki, so naturally he also had this mask.
"Another Disciple of Urokodaki. I didn't expect him to deliver himself to our doorstep. Then let's all die together."
The Flesh Lump Demon's voice was filled with madness and ferocity, and its hand began to extend, rapidly reaching out to grab Su Chen.
"Chen Tian... get out of the way!"
Tanjiro suddenly awoke with a start. Upon witnessing this scene, he shuddered and roared at Su Chen, "This demon is different from other demons; it has devoured many of its own kind..."
"Water Breathing... Fourth Form, Striking Tide."
A series of shimmering water vapors Mi Man, and Su Chen's blade was so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly with the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the Flesh Lump Demon covered with hands had been slashed countless times.
"No, how could this be!"
A terrified cry rang out, the ghost's eyes filled with terror, but its physical body was already rapidly dissipating.
As the azure light of the blade dissipated, his body instantly turned into chunks of flesh.
Su Chen slowly walked out, a smile on his face, "Tanjiro, are you alright?"
Tanjiro's mouth dropped open, his face filled with shock.
Although he knew Su Chen was quite strong, he never expected him to be this powerful.
"No... it's nothing!"
Su Chen smiled and nodded. This time, he did not continue hunting ghosts. The core of the assessment was to select the best candidates and also to provide them with some training. If he killed all the ghosts, it would not be a good thing for the others.
If they didn't have the ability to join the Demon Slayer Corps, even if they did, it would only lead to their deaths.
Seven days Past quickly. This time, many people survived. In the past, only a few people would survive each time, but this time there were as many as twenty.
This is unprecedented.
Su Chen walked out of Mt. Fujikasane and returned to the entrance. Two girls with Purple pupils were already waiting there, and quite a few of them had gathered.
"Congratulations on passing the final Trial. Next, we will take your heights and then customize your Demon Slayer Corps uniforms."
"In addition, you will need to select the high-quality steel used to manufacture the 'Nichirin Blade'."
Su Chen was very familiar with the following process, which mainly consisted of three points.
First, you need to customize the clothes, then select the fine steel for your Nichirin Blade, and finally, you need the Kasugai Crow.
With these three items, one can be considered a full member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Mr. Chen Tian!"
Suddenly, one of the Purple-Eyed Girl called out to Su Chen.
Su Chen paused slightly, then turned and slowly Past: "What's wrong?"
