Chapter 3: The Emperor's Breath

Gray woods, dense fog with visibility of less than ten meters, hillsides full of deadly traps, thin air,

"Hahh......."

Xia Muxing leaned against the tree, panting violently.

I ran to the hut at the bottom of the mountain before, and before I saw Tanjiro Kamado, I was taken to the mountain by Mr. Scale.

I have to go back before dawn to complete the assessment.

"The assessment has just begun."

"You have to leave as soon as possible, the longer you delay, the more uncomfortable it becomes."

Xia Muxing, silently reciting the golden light mantra, Qi circulates in the body, dispelling the discomfort in the body.

Take a deep breath.

His body moved, and he rushed down the mountain.

There is a feeling of sluggishness in the right foot!

Step on the rope, trap!

The agility beyond ordinary people of eight points brought Xia Muxing a reaction speed that was different from ordinary people.

An iron bridge leans back.

The evil wind blew in his face, and a tree trunk as thick as two people hugging each other crossed the sky above Xia Muxing, and fell to the ground, and the ground was shaken.

It's going to die, it's really going to die!

Xia Muxing, who had never experienced the line of life and death, had a heart beating wildly.

"Calm down, Xia Muxing, your attributes are beyond ordinary people, with this foundation, if you can't get past this trap that Tanjiro Kamado can pass through as an ordinary person, you deserve to die." Xia Muxing comforted himself and kept taking deep breaths, although the thin oxygen made it difficult to breathe, but deep breathing could relieve his tension.

If it were themselves, they would set a trap there.

Xia Muxing looked around, the trap that had just been triggered under his feet was unremarkable.

The game specialization skill is unconsciously operated automatically in Xia Muxing.

Game vision.

Heaven and earth, the woods, and the grass beneath their feet all turned into white transparent squares.

20 points of intelligence, not IQ, is a concept that represents a person's magic, telekinesis, spiritual power, the speed at which the brain calculates data, the upper limit of cultivation speed, and so on.

Constantly squares begin to be marked red, transforming into possible or similar traps.

"Everyone's habits are different, and I don't know Mr. Scales very well, so I'm just marking the place where the trap is easiest to put in red, and then, as long as I guess it three times, then all the red grid fields will be avoided."

Xia Muxing walked quickly, and there were no traps in the white transparent grids he passed all the way, these white transparent grids were either not in sufficient condition to put traps, or they were too conspicuous, except for the stupid roe deer with an iron head, no one would step on them.

The first red checkered area!

Xia Muxing found a stone and threw it over.

Sou!

A long arrow sank deep into the grass.

Triggered traps.

Really!

The second red grid area.

Another stone.

The meadow is falling.

The root barbs are on the rise.

Trap traps.

The third red block area.

Stone throwing does not trigger.

Look closely, there is a shadow of a rope.

"Sure enough......." Xia Muxing tapped his toes on the ground and kicked the ground, "Most of the traps are on the ground, right?" ”

Inhale deeply.

The average air concentration is about 20 percent, but here it is only 10 percent, so you have to go down the mountain as soon as possible before dawn.

"I can only hope that 18 points of agility will allow me to complete this action."

Xia Muxing jumped sharply towards the big tree next to him, stepped on the trunk with his left foot, and jumped towards another big tree.

The right foot point jumps out again on the trunk of the tree.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and through the thick fog, there were thin stripes of dark shadows in the air.

Changing positions in the air, he dodged the hidden rope and landed on another tree trunk without danger.

=======================

Cabin at the foot of the mountain.

The reddish-brown haired boy walked slowly with his head hanging down, exhausted, and holding a knife in his blistered hand.

"How the hell can that rock be split........ It's impossible to do it......... ”

"Tanjiro."

Tanjiro Kamado raised his head and saw a figure wearing a tengu mask standing at the door of the wooden house, "Mr. Scales! ”

"Come into the house, there's a new person coming, that little girl's skills are not bad, and the things she makes are delicious." Mr. Scales turned and pushed the door open and entered the house.

"Newcomer?" Tanjiro Kamado is full of question marks, I've been here for more than a year, and I haven't seen a newcomer, and there is less than a year to go, and the final selection is about to begin, so can the newcomers still have time to participate in this final assessment.

When I entered the house, I saw Mr. Scales gathered in front of the pot, a child as small as your beans, and a gray-faced boy whose eyes lit up when he saw himself entering the house.

The boy walked up with the little girl and shook Tanjiro's hand, "Hello! Predecessor! I'm a newcomer today! My name is Xia Muxing! This is Xia Munai, just call her Nana, and senior, please take me! ”

"Huh? Ahaha! Hello hello hello! I'm Tanjiro Kamado.,Senior or something.,Just call me Tanjiro.,I've just been practicing with Mr. Scalety for a year........" Tanjiro scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Mu Xing's physique is very good, tomorrow you will take Mu Xing to train with you, just like I trained you before" Mr. Scales picked up a piece of green vegetables and took a bite, "Eat it quickly, it will be cold later." I'll be out early tomorrow morning and I'll be back in a while. ”

"Okay! Mr. Scales! I'll take the Shepherd with me! Tanjiro made a promise and looked serious.

"I believe you, Tanjiro, but, newcomer, it's not so easy to bring." Mr. Scales said meaningfully.

Xia Muxing sneered, could it be that he used the Golden Light Divine Spell to break through the last dense trap and was seen by Mr. Scales.

"I've never seen a genre before, but it's too shallow for you to use it, and it can be seen that you haven't brought out the power of your genre at all" Mr. Scales looked at Xia Muxing, who was already sitting back and was smashing vegetables.

Xia Muxing muttered to himself, my golden light god spell is only LV.1! It's been mastered for less than a day, can it not be shallow! However, now that the cultivation speed is full because of the auxiliary cultivation, if I can cultivate to the level of the Heavenly Master under one person, just these ghosts, one by one, will be directly reduced! Can these little broken ghosts beat the immortals?

============================

Every day, I draw for the first time, practice the knife, swing the knife thousands of times, practice breathing with Tanjiro, do physical training, and meditate through the trap mountain and waterfall without opening the game vision.

Every day, I can feel myself getting stronger.

Qi, strength, reaction speed, the feel of swinging the knife, and even, through Nana's big data, developed from the golden light divine mantra, in line with this world-breathing method, due to the time is too tight, Xia Muxing has only practiced one type, and only one type.

Because it was shining and shining, and because of the good wishes of drawing out the SSR, Xia Muxing named it Golden Breath.

Although there is no orange, but after the perseverance of the first draw every day, the SR finally broke out today, and let Nana assist in the cultivation, and he completely mastered this skill.

Nana's auxiliary cultivation is too strong, if an ordinary person has just learned a LV.1 skill, his release may have a sense of stagnation, and the move may also be skewed, and the power of the skill will be at most 70% of the power of the sky, but if there is an auxiliary cultivation once, it is equivalent to having a LV.1 skill with full proficiency, and it can achieve 100% of the standard power.

LV.1 Xia Muxing

Strength: 19

Dexterity: 23

Intelligence: 24

Lucky: 5

Skill: Game Mastery: LV.8.

SSR Golden Light Spell: LV.18 (When activated, you are a glowing, invulnerable little golden man).

Derivative skills (derivative skills do not exceed the main skill level) Complete Collection: Golden Breath Ichi no Type Juhe: LV.18 (Through the combination of the Golden Light Divine Spell and the Breathing Method, the Qi will burst out through the knife skill in a short period of time, and the damage is good).

SR Taoist Mantra: LV.1.

Lying in the yard, the herd star, basking in the sun, pinched his fingers.

"Count the days, Tanjiro should be able to split that stone soon, is it because he is the protagonist, why can't I see the rabbit and the real mushroom."

When Xia Muxing was in the Golden Light Divine Mantra LV.10, he could perfectly split the boulder that represented Mr. Scale's final assessment, but after the split, it would not advance the time for the final selection, so it was better to use the rest of the time to practice well.

"Mu Xing, in the past few days, I haven't seen you go up the mountain to cultivate, have you given up?" Mr. Scales' voice sounded, no sadness or joy.

"Ah, Mr. Scales!" Xia Muxing has been cultivating the Golden Light Divine Mantra for the past few days, plus the stone can be split a long time ago, it doesn't matter if he can't go up the mountain or not, but in the eyes of Mr. Scale, it is the same as giving up.

"It's okay........" Mr. Scales seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, turned around, and went up the mountain, that is, the direction in which Tanjiro practiced his sword.

"I don't want to see any more children die........

Even if you two are the most talented kids at the moment, you may not be able to beat that guy.
