Chapter 94: Martial Artist Max Level
---
That night, Kanae personally delivered the space mark to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and with the help of the crows, quickly sent it to each pillar.
Then, Aoki began to fight frantically.
On the first day, he beat all the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.
However, the gap between the pillars and his strength was too big. After a battle, the experience gained was usually less than 5 points.
But all the pillars combined still provided a considerable income.
The second and third days were the same.
Aoki challenged each of them one by one, and they couldn't refuse unless a pillar had a special situation.
…
Uzui Tengen lay on the lawn, with Hinatsuru carefully massaging him to relax his muscles.
Next to him, Makio and Suma were arguing.
The sun was slowly setting, and the red sunset covered the four with a layer of red gauze.
"What a wonderful life," Tengen smiled.
Hinatsuru asked, "Lord Tengen, will Mr. Aomura come today?"
Hearing this name, Uzui Tengen instantly showed a headache.
"No doubt, he will"
It was a battle in name, but in his opinion, it was no different from being beaten.
Aomura was too strong!
Being beaten is fine. One or two days is nothing. Three or four days can be tolerated, but being beaten every day with high intensity, even the pillars can't stand it.
He had been suffering from back pain these past two days, as if he had returned to the days of ninja training.
However, there were benefits.
After a few days, he clearly felt that his strength, which he thought had reached its limit, had improved a little.
And the doubts he had before were long gone.
It doesn't matter whether Aomura continues to become stronger. His current strength is enough to crush the Demon Slayer Corps.
If Aomura really had bad intentions, the Demon Slayer Corps would have been destroyed several times over by now.
"Life is very great"
A voice sounded next to him, and Tengen jumped up suddenly.
Behind them, a tall, straight young man with black hair and golden eyes appeared.
Makio and Suma stopped fighting and bowed with Hinatsuru, saying, "Mr. Aomura."
"Hello" Aoki responded politely.
It is said that the former Sound Hashira is the real winner in life.
He fulfilled his wish of "killing the upper rank demon" and retired with satisfaction. He has three beautiful wives to accompany him, and there is no "25 years old" limit.
The only loss is a broken hand.
Aoki looked at Uzui Tengen. "Are you ready?"
Tengen picked up his double swords, full of energy and fighting spirit. "Come on! Let's have a gorgeous battle together!"
Five minutes later, Tengen was lying on the ground, groaning, his body bruised and purple.
Suma grabbed his arm and said pitifully, "Lord Tengen, you were beaten worse this time than yesterday."
Makio hit her on the head and roared, "Listen to what you are saying!"
Suma covered her head and screamed, "Sister Makio is bullying me!"
Only Hinatsuru helped Tengen up.
[End of battle. Gain 3 experience points.]
[Congratulations, you have leveled up!]
Hearing this, Aoki felt refreshed.
3 experience points, just right.
He had been worried that he wouldn't get enough and would have to fight another battle.
With a thought, the azure screen appeared in his vision.
This time he gained 1 skill point and 1 attribute point.
Aoki did not hesitate and directly added the free attribute point to intelligence.
A cool breath suddenly emerged in his mind, and he instantly felt that the pressure that had been weighing on his heart for a long time was much less.
There was nothing to hesitate about with the free skill points.
The four skill points of the half-star profession correspond to four skills, and you can't learn any other skills if you want to.
The only choice is "Unyielding Will."
Aoki directly chose to learn it.
If increasing intelligence is like eating a bite of ice cream on a hot summer day, and feeling completely cool, then learning "Unyielding Will" is like suddenly having a volcano inside.
Mental pressure keeps piling up.
When it reaches the critical point, the volcano suddenly erupts, and it is strong enough to push the pressure back.

Another profession has reached the maximum level.
It took about half a year in total, which is not bad, a little faster than "Hunter."
Among them, Muzan Kibutsuji made the greatest contribution.
"It does feel a little more comfortable, but I always feel that there's a power in my body that I want to vent."
Aoki turned his eyes to Tengen.
Seeing his aggressive eyes,Tengen's body went cold.
"No! We must stop here today!"
"Of course," Aoki said.
He did not intend to vent his anger on Tengen.
If he had no control at all, he could kill Tengen with one punch now.
In fact, he had been consciously controlling his power while fighting with the Hashira.
The power of 23 points has formed an absolute crushing on the Hashira, and it cannot be compensated by skills.
Uzui Tengen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He still has tasks to perform tomorrow, and if he gets another beating, he might not be able to get up.
"Bring it!" Aoki held out his palm.
Uzui Tengen looked at his hand with a confused look on his face. "What?"
"Space mark" Aoki said.
Uzui Tengen was stunned. "Space mark, could it be…"
Aoki nodded. "This is the last match, and the competition ends here."
He has already mastered the power, which can be seen from the fact that Tengen is only bruised but not injured.
The "Martial Artist" level is maxed out, the mental pressure is greatly relieved, and the interference of the space mark has been adapted. It's time to start doing business.
"Really."
Tengen took out a wooden sign and even felt a little reluctant to give it up.
Although the beatings were painful, the improvement in strength was real. He didn't expect it to be over so soon.
The only good thing is that he became stronger to kill demons, and Aomura ended the sparring also to kill demons, even more efficiently than him.
The processes are different, but the paths lead to the same goal.
"When does the next round start?" Uzui Tengen asked as he handed over the wooden sign.
"There's no next round."
Aoki shook his head.
The "Martial Artist" has reached the full level and his combat skills have been honed to perfection. He no longer needs a training partner.
"No more?" Uzui Tengen felt even more regretful.
"Take care, all of you. I'll take my leave now."
"I wish Mr. Aomura good luck in martial arts!"
Aoki nodded slightly towards them and suddenly disappeared.
