Gyutaro has his own familiar fighting style.

Long did not intend to teach him offensive combat techniques, only body movements and footwork, along with some other skills.

This is most important to Gyutaro.

As for practical experience, he needs to accumulate it through continuous battles.

During this time, Gyutaro and Daki stayed at his residence and did not go out.

Several pillars in the city have already set their sights on the city and have no intention of leaving anytime soon.

However, they did not launch an attack rashly.

Oboro originally thought that the three pillars would eventually take action, as killing demons was their duty.

Unexpectedly, the three of them seemed to give up in the end.

This surprised him quite a bit.

Because the Demon Slayer Corps' inherited will is exceptionally pure, they will not easily back down.

"It seems that the current leader of the Demon Slayer Corps is quite extraordinary."

Oboro realized something and commented.

Under his guidance, Gyutaro's close combat skills improved by leaps and bounds. In terms of combat talent alone, even among Hunter x Hunter, he would be considered one of the best among ordinary people, and he could probably become an excellent Nen user.

However, there is still a gap between him and some of the perverts that Li Long knew.

This difference is not physical, but mental.

Oboro protected Gyutaro for a year, providing him with 'food'. During this time, he would spar with Gyutaro almost every night to help him become stronger.

As for Daki, Oboro didn't really care... he just occasionally taught her and helped her better utilize Blood Demon Art in battle.

The strength of this brother and sister depends on Gyutaro, not Daki.

Then, Gyutaro and Daki left to complete a task assigned to them by Daki.

It is also the only training mission.

Success means the siblings have completed their apprenticeship and can do whatever they want, as they please.

This is also the requirement that Oboro gives them the power.

The mission is to hunt down all the Upper Moons under Muzan's command.

This is something Gyutaro must do. He can gain power by devouring his own kind, thereby stimulating the evolution of his flesh and blood... This is also an 'opportunity' that both the inheritors and Muzan's forces have noticed.

If we don't do this, simply growing step by step will be too slow.

Whether he succeeds or not depends on Gyutaro himself.

Oboro gifted him the black haori and selected him as a special seed, indicating that Gyutaro had great potential.

However, Daki did not actually want to follow Oboro's arrangements. She wanted to become a courtesan, to be beautiful and renowned throughout the world.

She just didn't dare to show it because of her fear of Oboro.

In her view, as long as her brother could kill the Upper Moons, the two of them could break free from the man's control and be completely free.

In contrast, Gyutaro showed great respect for Oboro, which was something that Daki very displeasing.

"Have you already saved up this much?"

One day, Oboro opened the system's inventory and chuckled softly.

Each small compartment in the inventory was filled with cards.

Some of them are already outdated.

The ineffective parts are almost all the flesh and blood of ordinary ghosts.

The most valuable of these is the silver-level bloodline of the inheritor Yasuhara after his evolution.

Secondly, there are the Blood Demon Art skill cards.

And a large number of Nichirin Sword.

The forces of the Swordsmith Village have been affiliated with the Demon Slayer Corps for many years and have not been touched by the Shogunate.

It was, after all, a powerful weapon for slaying demons, possessing special materials and strength, far superior to ordinary weapons, and one of the few resources that could be plundered in the Demon Slayer world. The endless wars and chaotic situation of the previous decades were all his doing.

Because of the chaos, more people die, making it easier for Oboro to "snag the scraps".

He wasn't just sitting around wasting his time.

The reason for establishing some initial relations between the Shogunate and the Demon Slayer Corps was to make it easier to reap the rewards.

"But... what surprised me the most was the appearance of this card."

Lonely gaze fixed on a card.

This is a very special card. He only got it a few days ago. Previously, the system's functions couldn't convert this kind of resource at all, but now it can.

It was because after sensing the inherited will that Oboro's soul received a slight boost, making the system's functions even more powerful.

Experience Card.

Transforming this type of card requires extracting the target's soul power.

The damage inflicted on the target is irreversible.

His card was a Black Iron-level experience card, not particularly valuable, indicating the target's strength wasn't great. However, its effect was astonishing, capable of significantly increasing the user's combat experience. This was equivalent to instantly turning any random ordinary person grabbed from the street into a seasoned 'expert' with extensive combat experience.

Although it will not grant direct power.

But experience is especially important.

Currently, Oboro's system package contains Bloodline Card considered a source of contamination), Weapon Card Nichirin Sword, Skill Card Blood Demon Art, and Experience Card.

These cards could allow him to create a 'strongman' out of thin air.

Although there were quite a few, the cards were not of high quality or rarity... Oboro planned to continue cultivating these resources in this world, using most of them on the personnel of the three factions, once again forcing growth.

Fertilize and water them.

Use low-level cards to nurture the monster, and then harvest higher-level cards.

For example, based on his estimation of the power of the Demon Slayer world, the highest-level card he could transform into would be at most Gold-level, since it's not hard to tell from the fact that Yasuhara's flesh and blood were only Silver-level.

Muzan and the Sun Breathing are probably the only two golden resources available.

As the power system grows, all resources are evolving, so perhaps he will be able to obtain a platinum card in the future.

This can save a lot of time.

His departure from Demon Slayer will also be brought forward.

Long had a premonition that his next world would be very difficult, because judging from the strength of his soul after Hunter x Hunter from the previous world, the first world was the weakest, definitely one of the lower-level worlds. Therefore, the next world would only be more difficult, not easier.

I have no idea what kind of situation I will face.

Therefore, he needs sufficient resources to cope with any situation, so that even if he encounters some dangers in the next world, he will have a trump card.

At that time, it won't be as easy as it was in Demon Slayer, where you can simply hide behind the scenes and control things without needing to participate or integrate too frequently.

Furthermore, it was because it was a lower-level world that Oboro was able to sense the will of the 'Demon Slayer World' and perceive the existence of that 'Little Tree'.

This shows that every world has its own unique will.

The Little Tree in the Demon Slayer world is very weak... It is because it is weak that a deal was made with it, because Oboro's power, in a sense, could destroy this world.

It can threaten the 'Little Tree'.

All the Little Tree can do is compromise.

But in a higher world... the situation is different.

Leaving aside whether Oboro can still sense the will of the world, a worse outcome would be if he were targeted by the will of the world...

At least, as Hunter x Hunter from the same advanced world, even with Oboro's peak strength, he didn't sense any world ideology in that world.

As an ordinary Earth soul entering the Hunter x Hunter, it was impossible for him to attract the attention of the world's will. At that time, he, as a stowaway, was too weak.

But now, things are different.

At least when he transmigrated into Demon Slayer, Little Tree quickly took the initiative to 'contact' him.

Not every world will be kind to him.

The way the Little Tree treated him was largely due to the imbalance of power.

If he is the weaker one, the world's will cannot kill him directly, but it can guide the fate of some people, such as manipulating certain encounters to make him meet Muzan.

And if he angers the other party for some reason, his fate is predictable.

This possibility exists.

It was precisely because he realized this that Oboro did not leave Demon Slayer immediately; for him, this place was like a gas station.

Although Demon Slayer's power system is weak, there are still resources that can be utilized.

He has to prepare.
