Chapter 92: Preparing to Assault the "Martial Artist"
---
How to persuade a person who is determined to die?
The most effective way is not to try to open her heart but to give her a reason to live.
Aoki succeeded.
At least temporarily.
As for the future, that's a matter for later.
Right now, Miss Tamayo won't commit suicide.
Tamayo and Yushiro escorted Aoki out.
The streets of Asakusa were quiet, with no one in sight.
Aoki stopped and looked back at the two: "Then I'm leaving"
Tamayo bowed slightly: "Please stay safe, Mr. Aoki."
With a rustle, the huge bat wings spread out, and Aoki waved at them before soaring into the sky.
Yushiro's complexion gradually recovered, and he looked up at the sky: "What kind of ability is this?"
Eating demons, space shuttling, and now he has grown wings. What's wrong with this guy?
We are all demons; why is there such a big difference?
"Mr. Aoki is indeed an incredible person"
Tamayo looked in the direction where Aoki left, her beautiful eyes full of expectation.
After bidding farewell to Tamayo and Yushiro, Aoki went to the next destination without stopping, making space marks along the way.
Some were made to be portable, while others were directly engraved in unnoticed corners of the city, the shade of the mountains, etc.
For him, this was also a big test.
The surge in the number of space marks brought great pressure to his spirit.
Nearly a month later, Aoki returned to the Butterfly House.
Kanae got the news and hurried to the door. She was stunned when she was about to say something.
"Mr. Aomura, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little stressed!"
Aoki rubbed his forehead.
His appearance did not change much, and it was even more impossible for him to have dark circles. Although his face was pale, it had been like this since he became a demon.
It was just that his spirit was a little sluggish.
On the one hand, it was the mental pressure brought by a large number of space marks.
Each space mark was like a signal tower, constantly sending information outward, and some even moved, and he was responsible for receiving this information, unable to turn it off.
On the other hand, these spatial marks were also distracting his attention, like there were countless speakers in front of him, playing different content, and he had to accurately distinguish which speaker was making which sound.
This was a big challenge.
Fortunately, he had been practicing and accumulating experience before, and now he was able to cope with it.
"Maybe I should find a way to point out the Indomitable Will'"
Aoki thought again.
These days he has been thinking about how to solve this problem.
Continuing to increase intelligence can fundamentally solve the problem, but it is impossible to do it at the moment.
In addition, he also thought of a temporary solution that only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, that is, "Indomitable Will"
"Indomitable Will" is a spiritual will skill. When a martial artist faces great pressure, they can burst out with more powerful energy under the impetus of spiritual will.
For a martial artist, this is a magical skill to deal with a strong enemy, allowing them to become stronger when facing a strong opponent.
Although he is not facing an enemy now, he is also under great mental pressure. Indomitable Will should also be effective… right?
Kanae said worriedly: "Mr. Aomura, do you want to take a break?"
"No need"
Aoki refused without hesitation.
His current situation cannot be solved by rest.
In fact, there is no problem with his physical condition.
However, killing the demon can wait.
Aoki thought for a while and asked again: "What are the pillars doing now? I am going to start the exchange activities again."
"Martial artist" is level 4, and only needs more than 100 experience points to reach the full level. A quick attack should be enough experience.
I have to thank Muzan Kibutsuji again.
If it weren't for Muzan Kibutsuji pulling the upper moons and accompanying him in a hearty battle, the "Martial artist" profession would probably still be at level 3.
Now is indeed a good opportunity to upgrade the "Martial artist" level.
First, he can practice with the pillars. After breaking through level 18 and all attributes exceeding 22 points, he hasn't done it properly yet.
Second, this period of time can also allow him to further adapt to the mental pressure brought by the space mark.
Third, as he becomes stronger, there will be fewer and fewer people who can be his opponents. It will be more and more difficult to upgrade "Martial Artist" in the future. The sooner you upgrade, the more assured you will be.
In addition, after reaching the maximum level of "Martial Artist", you can not only learn "Indomitable Will" but also obtain a free attribute point.
"Want to spar?"
Kanae was a little embarrassed.
In fact, including her, all the pillars are willing to spar with Mr. Aomura.
He is strong enough to bring enough pressure to them, and at the same time, they don't have to worry about anything and can do whatever they want.
This kind of opponent is too rare.
The only drawback is that the result is always a loss, which is a bit of a blow to people's confidence and enthusiasm.
However, the pillars are people with firm will and strong beliefs, and they will naturally not back down because of this little problem.
The real problem is that the pillars are too busy and have no time to run around.
After listening to Kocho Kanae's explanation, Aoki directly threw out a handful of space marks.
"Send one to each pillar."
As the core of the Demon Slayer Corps' recent operational adjustments, Kanae would naturally not fail to recognize what this is.
"Mr. Aomura, according to my lord's plan, space marks will be given priority to team members with clear goals, and Pillars are not among them…"
Aoki rubbed his forehead again: "It's not for you, I just give it to you for safekeeping temporarily so that I can come to you for discussion at any time. I will take it back when the discussion is over."
"That way there will be no problem."
Kanae's eyes lit up.
It is inconvenient for Hashira's to come to discuss with each other. The main reason is that it is too time-consuming to travel there and back.
As for the physical exertion and injuries sustained during the sparring session, it was a trivial matter.
With hashira's physique, he can recover quickly.
Compared to the harvest, this price is not worth mentioning at all.
"I want to be the first challenger"
Shinobu jumped out of nowhere, taking kanao with her.
"Are you sure?" Aoki glanced at her.
He doesn't mind who his opponent is.
As long as it's not too weak.
If you are too weak, you may have no experience at all, and your efforts will be in vain.
Shinobu's strength must have reached the standard.
Shinobu nodded heavily, with high fighting spirit in her eyes: "This time I will definitely surprise you"
"Okay, let's start with you"
Aoki smiled.
After knowing each other for so long, he already knew that Shinobu was a very unyielding person.
A small body, but that contains a lot of energy.
"Then let's start now" Shinobu said impatiently, holding the handle of the sword at her waist.
"Wait a minute, there's one more thing."
Aoki took out a fusiform device.
"There is a kind of poison in this. It was specially made by a doctor friend of mine for Muzan Kibutsuji. You can study it and remember, don't let it break."
Neither Kanae nor Shinobu answered, looking at him with a strange look.
"What's wrong?" Aoki asked confused.
Shinobu said in disbelief: "You actually have other doctors outside behind our backs?"
Aoki: "?"
