Chapter 24 Water Breathing
Chapter 24 Water Breathing
Seeing Lin Bei suddenly blocking his way, Lin Long was somewhat puzzled.
"What do you want to do?"
Lin Bei smiled slightly.
"Master Urokodaki Sakonji has already witnessed our strength and believes we are qualified to be your students."
"But I have yet to witness the strength of Master Urokodaki Sakonji."
"How can we know whether you, Master, truly possess the ability to be our teacher?"
Upon hearing Lin Bei's words, Urokodaki Sakonji raised an eyebrow slightly beneath his mask.
"What do you mean by that?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bei grinned with extreme excitement.
"It means we should fight!"
Upon hearing Lin Bei's words, Urokodaki Sakonji was slightly taken aback, wondering if he had misheard.
He's taught so many classes of students, and this is the first one who's tried to fight with his teacher before even getting started.
However, before Urokodaki Sakonji could figure out how to respond, a fist the size of a clay pot suddenly appeared in front of him.
So fast!
What a fierce punch!
In the blink of an eye, Urokodaki Sakonji caught Lin Bei's punch.
His expression changed slightly.
Even though he had just witnessed him instantly kill the evil spirit,
They also determined that Lin Bei possessed extremely astonishing strength and speed.
But when he truly experienced this power, he realized that what he had just seen was only the tip of the iceberg.
Because this seemingly ordinary punch made his entire arm go numb.
If he hadn't been in a state of normal breathing, his aged body might not have been able to withstand that punch.
After truly experiencing the power of Lin Bei's punch, Urokodaki Sakonji's eyes suddenly burned with fervor.
Such strength, such natural talent.
There was no systematic training, no renowned teacher, and no mastery of any breathing techniques.
He could feel threatened simply by his extreme strength and speed.
This was something he had never seen before, or even heard of.
Previously, he had thought that Giyu Tomioka's words were wishful thinking.
So now he fully admits that the person in front of him is indeed capable of doing that thing.
Just then, Urokodaki Sakonji heard something that made his pupils shrink.
Lin withdrew his fist, and his aura suddenly changed. He looked at Urokodaki Sakonji like a tiger in the night, with an exaggerated smile on his face.
"He was able to easily catch a punch that I used half my strength with."
"As expected of the former Water Pillar."
"Even at this age, he still has such strength."
"It really makes me..."
"I'm ecstatic!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Bei moved.
As the saying goes, dragons follow the clouds, and the wind follows the tiger!
Lin Bei moved like a tiger descending a mountain, bringing with him a strong gust of wind as he pressed down on Urokodaki Sakonji.
In Urokodaki Sakonji's eyes, Lin Bei was not carrying a strong wind, but rather the aura of heaven and earth surrounding him.
This aura of heaven and earth formed a ferocious tiger invisible to the naked eye, which pounced on him.
He had nowhere to hide.
Faced with this seemingly unavoidable attack, Urokodaki Sakonji spoke calmly from beneath his mask.
"These young people really don't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young!"
"Don't you even know to give way to this old man!"
"Water Breathing - Third Form - Flowing Dance!"
Just as Urokodaki Sakonji finished speaking his last word, Lin Bei's iron fist, accompanied by the force of the wind, came crashing down.
Just as Lin Bei was about to strike Urokodaki Sakonji, Urokodaki Sakonji's figure suddenly blurred and disappeared from the spot, reappearing in another place.
No more, no less, just outside Lin Bei's attack range.
What Lin Bei hit was only a wisp of water vapor that was blown away by the wind.
The punch that Urokodaki Sakonji dodged landed squarely on the ground where he had just been standing.
"Thump..."
With a dull thud, the ground trembled slightly.
It felt as if a cannonball had hit the ground.
The stone-paved ground was blasted open by Lin Bei's punch, creating a crater a meter in diameter. At the bottom of the crater were stone slabs that had been almost completely reduced to dust.
Cracks, each two to three meters long, spread out from around the large pit.
Even though he had dodged Lin Bei's punch, Urokodaki Sakonji couldn't help but gasp after witnessing its destructive power.
If this kind of destructive power were to hit a person...
Wouldn't that lead to the company falling apart?
Maybe it's just a ghost, no!
Only a demon with Blood Demon Arts can withstand this attack head-on.
Even an ordinary ghost would be instantly killed.
At this moment, Lin Bei frowned.
"Damn it, I missed!"
That punch just now was almost his full-force strike.
In the previous two weeks.
He shared some of the refined yang energy with Tanjiro and Nezuko, and used the rest to strengthen himself.
Almost all of it was used to enhance his own strength and speed.
After the strengthening process entered a certain stage, he naturally gained momentum.
Momentum is an invisible and intangible power.
It also couldn't directly enhance his strength and speed, so it seemed to be of little use.
In subsequent experiments, Lin Bei discovered that any small animals under his influence would be as if they were under a spell, remaining motionless even after being killed by him. Some timid animals, like rabbits, would even be scared to death.
As for large animals, although they cannot be controlled, they can be made to feel panicked.
Moreover, as long as they are within the area covered by his power, he can use that power to lock onto them, making it impossible for them to evade his attack.
He took advantage of this, hunting wild animals in the mountains while traveling to supplement their food supply, ensuring that the three of them did not go hungry.
But now this foolproof ability has failed.
The prey that was clearly locked onto by his power vanished from his sight and perception.
The speed was so fast that he couldn't even see a trace.
Unconvinced, Lin Bei locked onto Urokodaki Sakonji, who was not far away, and unleashed another punch with almost all his might.
But the punch still missed.
Urokodaki Sakonji disappeared again, and Lin Bei's punch, delivered with almost all his might, only added another crater to the ground, achieving nothing else.
After that punch, Lin Bei did not continue to attack.
He watched the fleeting wisp of mist pass by, then noticed Urokodaki Sakonji standing not far from him, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry.
"Was that water breathing just now?"
Urokodaki Sakonji was somewhat surprised.
"You know?"
Lin Bei nodded.
"I was fortunate enough to see it once in the hands of Giyu Tomioka."
"That slash was the same as the way you dodged me just now."
"Equally unfathomable, equally unclear."
He not only saw it, but also experienced it firsthand.
Just as Giyu Tomioka was about to be blown up by him.
In the blink of an eye, his arms were severed by a single blow.
If it weren't for his special physique, he would have become two Yang Guos.
I just don't know if I'll be able to get two copies of Little Dragon Girl and Divine Condor.
That's a bit of a tangent.
On another note, looking at the composed Urokodaki Sakonji, Lin Bei asked curiously.
"How did you manage to dodge? I locked onto you with my momentum."
"Logically speaking, I shouldn't have missed even if I closed my eyes."
Upon hearing Lin Bei's words, Urokodaki Sakonji pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant.
"Is this the kind of momentum you're talking about?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Urokodaki Sakonji's aura suddenly changed.
If Urokodaki Sakonji looked like an ordinary person just now, he was now like a surging river.
Even just standing there quietly gives one the feeling of being overwhelmed by raging waves.
