Shadow Breathing requires immense physical strength, and weighted running is a very comprehensive training method. In addition, using Shadow Breathing Technique to unlock one's potential is quite helpful.
Within a year, Su Chen was confident that he could make the Wind Pillar the strongest among the pillars, second only to himself.
The Wind Pillar was moving faster Yuelai faster, and it didn't slow down despite the increased distance. On the contrary, it became clear Tiandu that the Wind Pillar was returning at an even faster speed.
Even he himself noticed the changes in himself.
His speed and strength both increased.
The Wind Pillar was incredibly excited. He knew that this was not due to his running, but to the Shadow Breathing technique. The reason their physical bodies could become stronger was because of this breathing method.
Running is simply pushing your physical limits, allowing your breathing techniques to better integrate with your body.
Furthermore, physical strength is also related to breathing techniques.
The core of Shadow Breathing lies in the word 'speed,' followed by power. Therefore, every five days or so, Su Chen would increase the weight he carried by about 30%.
Two months Past quickly.
Su Chen has already mastered the Shadow Breathing technique to the Tenth Form.
The Eighth Form is the Ghost Eye, which enhances one's eyesight through breathing techniques and allows one to clearly see the enemy's movements. It is somewhat similar to the Transparent World, but not as powerful.
The Ninth Form, One-Sword Slash.
As the name suggests, it means to unleash the terrifying power of a single strike.
The Tenth Form Death Blossom is currently the most powerful killing move in Shadow Breathing. Even Su Chen can only unleash it about ten times.
Because he needs to expend more stamina, if the Wind Pillar were to use Death Blossom with his current strength, it would probably completely drain his stamina, and using it once would be his limit.
However, Su Chen did not stop; he continued to study the subsequent moves.
Tenth Form is not the end.
In just two months, the Wind Pillar's strength had increased by at least 50%. Keep in mind, he was already a Pillar, at the very top of the Demon Slayer Corps. How could he not be excited to have grown to such a level in just two months?
Originally, the Wind Pillar's strength should have been second only to the Stone Pillar, but after this period of training, the Wind Pillar's strength has definitely surpassed that of the Stone Pillar, making him the strongest Pillar besides Su Chen.
Wind Pillar ran tirelessly, carrying the heavy load as always.
As the Sun set, the Wind Pillar returned to where Su Chen was.
Remember to come tomorrow.
After saying that, Su Chen closed his eyes again.
The next day.
The Wind Pillar came again, and just as he was about to continue running, Su Chen slowly spoke, "No running today, let's have a real battle."
Real-world application!
The Wind Pillar's eyes were filled with excitement. He had grown a lot in the past few days and was eager to fight.
The two arrived at an open space, and instead of using real knives, they used wood instead.
Wind Pillar took a deep breath and looked at Su Chen with a serious expression.
He was well aware of the strength of the person before him; the Wind Pillar still vividly Memories Su Chen's use of Shadow Strike against him.
Wind Pillar chose to take the initiative and his speed suddenly increased.
"So fast!"
The Wind Pillar's eyes were filled with astonishment; when had his speed increased so much?
In the blink of an eye, the Wind Pillar arrived in front of Su Chen.
"Shadow Breathing, Fourth Form, Shadow Strike!"
As the sound of the Wind Pillar surged, his speed suddenly increased, appearing behind Su Chen almost imperceptibly.
A terrifying attack suddenly slashed towards Su Chen's neck.
Su Chen was incredibly fast; he raised his hand and blocked it.
"What!"
"Your speed and strength are acceptable, but your killing intent is too weak, or rather, you have no killing intent at all. Your attack methods are far too monotonous," Su Chen's calm voice rang out.
This problem isn't limited to the Wind Pillar; it affects everyone in this world. Their understanding of martial arts is weak, and their attacks are simply a combination of speed, strength, and skill, lacking anything else.
Like... the trend!
Momentum is not exclusive to cultivators; it is an extremely special psychological state. Those who possess momentum are much stronger than those who do not.
Su Chen swung his sword at Wind Pillar with a backhand strike. Wind Pillar hurriedly tried to block, but was still sent flying several meters away, his arm numb from the impact.
The Wind Pillar's eyes were filled with horror.
What terrifying power!
This simple strike was so powerful; if Shadow Breathing were used, how terrifying would it be?
During this time, Wind Pillar was growing, and Su Chen was naturally growing as well.
Afterwards, Su Chen deliberately held back, constantly fighting with Wind Pillar. Wind Pillar was also continuously suppressed. His cultivation talent was still decent. After a series of battles, his strength was obviously improved, his moves became more ruthless, and he was more adept at using his own techniques.
He has now almost completely given up on the Wind Breathing.
"You're still far from it. The core of Shadow Breathing lies in killing intent. Your techniques are all show and no substance, so their power is greatly diminished."
Wind Pillar gasped for breath, and after hearing those words, a look of confusion flickered in his eyes.
Killing intent?
He had been pondering this question for days: what exactly was killing intent? But he still hadn't come up with a concrete answer.
Su Chen glanced at him, then calmly said, "Think about your hatred for ghosts. Killing intent is actually very simple: it's the unwavering determination to kill the opponent."
Wind Pillar frowned and looked at Su Chen again.
In an instant.
A strong killing intent Mi Man from him, and his speed suddenly increased.
"Shadow Breathing... First Form, Flash Step."
The figure of the Wind Pillar suddenly appeared in front of Su Chen.
"Fourth Form... Shadow Strike!"
His figure vanished again, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Su Chen, his wooden sword suddenly slashing towards Su Chen.
At this moment, the way Wind Pillar looked at Su Chen was not like he was looking at a person, but rather at a ghost; his eyes were filled with a fierce killing intent.
"Bang!"
Su Chen easily blocked it as usual, seemingly having seen through the Wind Pillar's attack method. He nodded. "Not bad, that's about the feeling."
This attack was completely unexpected; if the Upper Rank three upper moons were to encounter this move, they would likely have their heads chopped off.
"Alright, that's enough for today."
"Continue training as before until you can use Shadow Breathing completely freely."
Su Chen spoke calmly, then turned and left.
Wind Pillar nodded, then turned and left.
Su Chen did not stay as usual. Yesterday, he received news that many people had gone missing on the Infinity Train, and that Flame Pillar had been dispatched to investigate.
According to the original storyline, the Flame Pillar will encounter Upper Moon Three there.
The Flame Pillar will also perish there.
Upper Moon Three, perhaps?
I also want to experience what kind of strength it is.
Su Chen stood up, moving with incredible speed, disappearing from the Courtyard in the blink of an eye.
Night.
Su Chen's figure flickered rapidly through the Mountain Forest like a ghost, making him completely invisible to the naked eye.
Upon arriving at the location of the Infinity Train, Su Chen followed the train tracks and smelled the ghostly scent. He immediately determined that it was not far ahead, and his figure vanished once again.
He was incredibly fast.
"Such a powerful aura! Quickly tell me you want to become a demon and fight me forever!"
The voice of Upper Moon Three Akaza rang out, and not far from him stood a red-haired, resolute Flame Pillar, whose terrifying aura was gathering within him.
What follows is their final showdown.
"It seems just right."
Seeing this, Su Chen was relieved to have arrived quickly. His next strike sealed Flame Pillar's fate; had he been any slower, Flame Pillar might not have been saved.
"Flame Breathing, Ninth Form..."
"Sasha!"
Suddenly, footsteps sounded from the side. Flame Pillar was slightly startled, then subconsciously turned his head to look.
"Who are you..."
Su Chen, with a sword at his waist and an incredibly graceful figure, smiled and said, "Leave the rest to me."
