The two of them kept questioning Xia Xi curiously, hoping to learn more about the Cultivator who would soon arrive.
Mostly, they were curious about his personality.
Whether he was any good at teaching.
And what he was like in everyday life.
But as someone focused on combat strength, Xia Xi had little enthusiasm for those topics.
In the end, he simply changed the subject, forcibly steering the conversation back to these Cultivators' fighting abilities.
Most Cultivators in the Demon Slayer Corps had once been Kinoe or Middle Rank Swordsmen.
Some were also retired members of the Hashira of Every Generation.
So their average strength really was nothing to scoff at.
At their respective peaks, they had at least been capable of trading a few blows with a Lower Rank of the Twelve Kizuki.
Although their abilities had declined to varying degrees after retirement.
Their [Energy Level] generally remained above 150.
So, to Xia Xi, these Cultivators had made convenient [units of combat strength] in the meta two updates ago.
His bargain-bin master, for example.
Anyone stronger than Kazami Old Geezer was Lower Rank level.
Anyone weaker than Kazami Old Geezer was small fry.
Of course, once the version updated to the previous meta.
Cultivators with an Energy Level of around two hundred were no longer much use as a reference.
Two Kazamis or three Kazamis... none of them could beat an Upper Rank of the Twelve Kizuki anyway.
So a new, more powerful unit of measurement.
Had happened to take Kazami's place in Xia Xi's mind.
That was the [Feather Hashira] everyone so respected and loved.
Takitsuki Kazetoriin.
In Xia Xi's eyes, the conversion went roughly like this.
[Ten Winds] = [One Feather] = [Half a Hantengu]
Ten old Kazamis attacking together would have a chance of beating one
