"Does this technique really significantly improve combat power?" Obanai Iguro asked.
Although the Wielding the Heavy as Light " was uttered from Teiichi.
However, the unfamiliar information they had never encountered before made them somewhat skeptical.
At least the previous Demon Slayer Corps Demon Slayer Mark had historical records to corroborate them.
But the Wielding the Heavy as Light was something they'd never heard of before.
Now that Gyomei Himejima has also reached this level, they are eager to hear Gyomei Himejima's opinion.
After a moment of Gyomei Himejima replied earnestly, "This kind of improvement is imperceptible to the naked eye, but it can be clearly felt in actual combat. It makes me more at ease in battle, and whether it's attacking or defending, I can be faster and more precise."
At this point, Gyomei Himejima subject.
"However, this bonus only applies when you are using heavy weapons."
After all, it's called "Wielding the Heavy as Light"; if you don't use heavy weapons, you won't achieve that effortless mastery.
Moreover, this technique doesn't significantly reduce physical exertion.
How much stamina does it take to use heavy weapons?
Kyojuro Rengoku crossed his arms and said, "So, if someone isn't strong enough to wield heavy weapons, or can't use them for long, even if they learn to lift heavy weapons with Wielding the Heavy as Light, they won't be able to last long in a fight, right?"
"Yes." Gyomei Himejima nodded.
Upon hearing this, Shinobu Kocho frowned deeply.
Isn't this specifically targeting her?
Of everyone present, who, besides her, couldn't pick up a heavy weapon and wield it for most of the day?
"Then how does one cultivate the ability to lift Wielding the Heavy as Light?" Kyojuro Rengoku then asked.
The Teiichi: "All weapons used in training and combat should be replaced with heavy weapons."
If you're not used to it at first, you can switch to your usual light weapons during combat.
However, they always use heavy weapons during regular training.
Once you know the technique, you'll gradually grasp it over time.
Everyone nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
It is foreseeable that after this Hashira Meeting...
The Swordsmith Village is likely to be facing a wave of missions to forge heavy weapons.
Then, Teiichi looked at Gyomei Himejima and added, " Himejima, if you've reached the level of Wielding the Heavy as Light mastery, you can proceed to the next stage of your cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Gyomei Himejima was slightly taken aback.
"The next step in cultivation?"
Everyone turned to look at them with curiosity.
I originally thought that Wielding the Heavy as Light was the limit, but I never expected that there would be a next step after Wielding the Heavy as Light.
Teiichi firmly, and four words slowly escaped from his lips.
Lifting Light as Though Heavy!
night.
Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters.
Creak--!
The wooden door slowly opened, and a team member dressed in camouflage emerged from the house. Instead of leaving immediately, he waited outside.
After a while, a team member, also dressed in invisibility clothing, came out of the house, pushing a small cart with several empty plates on it.
After closing the sliding door again, the two smiled at each other, and without saying a word, turned around and walked down the corridor towards the kitchen.
The member pushing the cart spoke up, "Hey, Ueya! This is the fifth time we've delivered this, isn't it?"
"Yes!" Ueya nodded.
Nakamura exclaimed, "Those pillars really can eat!"
"That's probably why they became Pillars," Ueya replied. "But I didn't expect the Love Hashira to eat so much, even though she looks like such a cute girl!"
Nakamura nodded and said, "Yes, I noticed when I was clearing the plates, and it seems like Love Hashira ate the most!"
Ueya said, "Speaking of which, aren't there only nine pillars? Why are there ten? Have you seen the other one?"
Nakamura shook his head. "Never seen it before."
"Do you think this could be a new pillar?" Ueya speculated.
Nakamura pondered for a moment, then said, "It shouldn't be. That adult wasn't even wearing a team uniform; he might not even be a member of the team!"
"Not a member of the team? Then why are you eating with Zhu?"
Ueya tentatively suggested, "Why don't you go and ask?"
The thought of asking the adult in front of all the pillars sent a shiver down Nakamura's spine.
"I wouldn't dare speak to Zhu. Go yourself!"
"Tch, coward!"
Nakamura retorted angrily, "Go ahead and try if you dare!"
"Hahaha... I wouldn't dare!"
"Then what the hell are you talking about!"
Amidst laughter, the two figures gradually disappeared down the corridor.
Inside, soft light spilled onto the small tables.
Everyone sat in their seats, eating dinner and chatting casually.
Only the current nine Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps and Teiichi were present; there were no others.
Even Kagaya Ubuyashiki wasn't there.
It wasn't that Kagaya Ubuyashiki didn't want to eat with everyone, but rather that his health wouldn't allow it.
The Hashira Meeting lasted all day today.
The morning meeting mainly focused on discussing the information about the Upper Rank shared by Teiichi and some aspects of strengthening capabilities.
In the afternoon, we discussed the progress of each pillar's work and information about the ghosts.
After a day of meetings, Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked visibly exhausted.
After the meeting, Kagaya Ubuyashiki managed to eat some light food under the careful care of Amane Ubuyashiki before hurriedly returning to his room to rest.
Tonight's dinner began again, hosted by Amane Ubuyashiki.
Amane Ubuyashiki left the room after the meal was served.
Therefore, only Teiichi and the current nine Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps ate there.
Tengen Uzui raised a glass of wine toward Teiichi and then spoke.
"Hey! Kato, do you want to participate in tomorrow's Hashira Battles?"
Tengen Uzui's words startled Teiichi slightly, who then lowered his head to think.
Whether I participate or not doesn't matter, but if I play freely...
Of those present, aside from Gyomei Himejima, the others probably wouldn't last much longer.
Gyomei Himejima doesn't participate in the Hashira Battles.
Thinking of this, Teiichi slowly shook his head and said, "No, let's not. You two can spar on your own!"
Upon hearing this, Sanemi Shinazugawa's lips curled into a provocative smile, his voice carrying a hint of taunt:
"What? Are you scared? You didn't make up everything you said today, did you?"
Upon Teiichi, Ding Yi's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Although I know what kind of person Sanemi Shinazugawa is, but...
Being constantly targeted still made Teiichi feel a little annoyed.
My mental cultivation is still inadequate...
Thinking of this, Teiichi smiled gently.
Unable to suppress his inner turmoil, he turned to Sanemi Shinazugawa and smiled:
"What? Do you want to experience what it feels like to suffer a humiliating defeat?"
