Your mother...
Ryosuke hesitated, then stopped, inwardly roaring with anger.
"You fucking took a kickback! It's so expensive!"
【No, host, there really isn't any~】
Hearing his cunning tone, it was hard for Ryosuke not to be suspicious.
[The price is perfectly reasonable for the host; compared to Lower Rank demons, you'll get significantly more lifespan points from slaying Upper Rank demons!]
You think killing an Upper Moon demon is easy?!
Ryosuke rolled his eyes.
How many small bread rolls would he have to cut to save up enough?!
Most importantly, these two things are different from ordinary ones; they can't be learned by yourself on your own.
The highest realm that can be reached is the one that requires all one's efforts and endurance of pain.
Once it's turned on, it's like plugging in a mysterious little USB drive in an FPS (first-person shooter) game!
Completely clear!
Those who activate this ability can clearly see the opponent's internal condition, as well as the flow and contraction of blood vessels, and their ability to predict attack movements and dodge speed will be greatly improved!
For the spots to appear, the body temperature needs to reach 39 degrees Celsius and the heart rate needs to exceed 200 beats per minute.
Once activated, it can significantly improve one's physical fitness.
At the same time, the markings also have a fatal flaw!
Those who activate it will not live past 25.
This is a complete drain on potential and an overdraft of lifespan!
Of course, our God's son, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, is an exception.
Furthermore, freckles are contagious!
Once someone awakens their markings, the others around them will also awaken in succession.
To be honest, Ryosuke was stunned when he saw these conditions.
This is going to drive people crazy!
He even suspected at one point that the stripes might be a variant of the avian influenza virus.
Ryosuke saw some good news in the system.
[Note: After the host gains control over the markings through lifespan points, they can choose to turn them on or off. These markings are not contagious.]
[Once the markings are activated, the host's lifespan will decrease 10 times faster than normal. Please use with caution.]
The markings went berserk.
However, this would actually prevent the other Pillars from dying from the Mark after Muzan, the boss of the Demon Slayer Corps, is killed.
Just for this reason alone, the 100-year lifespan points are not a loss.
“It’s rare to see someone with a shred of humanity,” Ryosuke said.
[Of course! This system has gone to great lengths to give you the chance to slay ghosts and show off!]
"Ha ha……"
Ryosuke chuckled awkwardly, "Then I really have to thank you."
With no other choice, Ryosuke could only transfer 10 years of his lifespan to the Fourth Form: Far Thunder.
After all, this is a real boost to combat power; having it is better than not having it.
[10 years of lifespan injected, remaining lifespan 1 year and 23 days.]
[Fourth Form - Far Thunder has reached Minor Completion, unlocking its advanced form: Far Thunder - Halberd Handle!]
Ryosuke: o.0?
Why does this name sound weird?
Ryosuke took another closer look to make sure he wasn't mistaken.
This name doesn't fit the pretentious style of the system at all!
However, despite the vulgar name, the sword-like shape of the halberd hilt astonished Ryosuke.
The halberd handle can compress the original dash or ranged attack of the Far Thunder, and then burst it out!
Tsk, his skill lives up to his name—
Definitely a high-burst ranged attack!
This greatly expanded Ryosuke's attack range, making it much easier for him to harvest those small bread rolls!
The halberd handle is extremely important!
Ryosuke's attitude underwent a complete 180-degree change.
Just as Ryosuke was getting excited, Rika came skipping over and laughed loudly.
"Ryosuke-nii, Lord Iwahachi has arrived."
"Oh? The big monk arrived quite quickly."
Ryosuke said this, but secretly he was overjoyed.
Good thing you arrived a step too late!
Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been confident that I could snatch the Demon Head of Disease Leaf from in front of this humanoid Gundam!
Just then, Beimingyu clasped his hands together and walked over.
"The Pillar of the Thunder, I'm a step too late, but you seem to have become even stronger. Your feat of slaying Lower Moon Three is truly remarkable."
"Mr. Beimingyu is too kind."
Ryosuke stood up and bowed.
Even if I'm strong, can I really be stronger than you?!
He stubbornly resisted the death rule of those aged 25 who were bound to die, and forcefully raped Kokushi-mou and Muzan.
Finally, they left the time and opportunity for treatment to others.
You are the real man!
Beimingyu nodded slightly and said in a loud voice.
"Besides defeating Lower Moon Three, there is another matter I need to tell you."
Beimingyu paused for a moment, then continued.
"Mr. Uzui Tengen has fulfilled the condition of slaying fifty demons. After confirmation by the Lord, he has now been officially promoted to Sound Pillar."
My glamorous brother has undergone a super evolution!
The news came suddenly, yet it made perfect sense.
Ryosuke nodded, not showing much surprise.
With Uzui Tengen's physical attributes and foundation, plus the complete version of Sound Breathing, those low-level mission takers are no match for him at all; they can only be chased and hacked down. Becoming a Pillar is only a matter of time.
However, I've been running around a lot lately, cutting grass and slaying lower moons, and dealing with the Butterfly Mansion's affairs, so I haven't sparred with him for a long time.
I don't know how well the "spectrum" research is going.
Ryosuke kept this amazing skill in mind and wanted to learn it.
At the same time, Ryosuke looked at Himejima and understood what Kagaya meant.
"So, my lord is going to convene a meeting of the Pillars?"
The birth of a new Pillar signifies the update and formal confirmation of the Demon Slayer Corps' top combat strength.
It's also a time for colleagues to get to know each other and define responsibilities.
Beimingyu nodded in a deep voice: "The meeting will be held after the final assessment."
Chapter 75 Why are your son's pectoral muscles so exaggerated?
Thunder rumbled and explosions echoed across the training ground.
The dust on the ground was swirled up by the airflow, forming a hazy smoke screen.
Ryosuke's figure flashed and moved with incredible speed.
The Nichirin Blade in his hand transformed into a shimmering white lightning bolt that tore through the air, his sword techniques surging like a tide, attacking Himejima Gyomei from all angles.
Thunder Breathing - Second Form - Inari Soul - Ultimate!
Lightning burst forth, and fifteen lightning strikes rained down upon us!
Beimingyu neither dodged nor evaded; his broadsword and meteor hammer were linked by a thick, long steel cable, making them a perfect combination of offense and defense.
Rock Breathing - Fourth Form - Rhyolite - Swift Conquest!
He wielded his broad axe and meteor hammer simultaneously, alternating his attacks, and managed to block all of Ryosuke's offensive.
With each impact, Ryosuke felt his arm go numb from the shock.
In an instant, countless sparks flew and metal clanged!
After forcing Ryosuke back, Himejima suddenly flicked his wrist, causing the iron chains to rattle.
The moment he threw the meteor hammer, the ground caved in as he stepped on the iron chain, and the meteor hammer shot towards Ryosuke as if it had been fired from the barrel!
Rock Breathing - Second Form - Sky Shatter!
Ryosuke's body crackled with lightning, his fighting spirit soaring.
He did not choose to dodge with speed; the Nichirin Blade was no longer wrapped with thin arcs of electricity, but with explosive lightning as hot as molten lava!
Thunder Breathing, Fifth Form: Heat Realm Thunder, Heaven-Shattering!
The deafening roar was like a thunderclap from a clear sky!
