Chapter 15: Incredibly Powerful
Last night.
After finishing his training, Mika was found by Yawei when he returned home. Yawei said that she was very interested in his breathing method and swordsmanship and wanted to learn more about them.
Facing Yawei's request, Mika naturally would not refuse.
So, he demonstrated the ten water forms of water breathing to Yawei in the small courtyard, and told her all the rhythms and tricks of the breathing method.
The whole process did not take long, and Yawei left after a hasty understanding.
So Mika did not care much at that time.
But now, in just one night, whether it is water breathing or the ten water forms, Yawei has practiced them to perfection, even surpassing Mika's attainments in these two techniques.
How could this not surprise Mika.
"What's wrong, Mika? Is this all you get from your hard training for a year and a half!"
Looking at Yawei with a smile on her lips, Mika felt that the nerves in his head seemed to be broken into two sections with a bang.
Taunting!
She is mocking me!
"Haha!"
Micah laughed in anger, and with a twitch of his mouth, he quickly entered the combat state and attacked Yawei.
In his hands, the sword skills were like flowing water.
Various water shapes bloomed in his hands and attacked Yawei's vital points.
However, Micah's attack did not get any feedback.
All his attacks were like rivers and lakes flowing into the sea, silently included in it.
And Yawei was the boundless sea.
Soon, Micah noticed something was wrong.
Although Yawei's swordsmanship was far superior to his, his basic qualities such as strength and speed should be better than hers!
As a god, Yawei should be no different from ordinary people in terms of physical fitness after sealing her divine power.
Micah has confirmed this point. After all, his own main god took himself into Yawei's family because he couldn't climb out of the trap.
But now, Yawei is not inferior to him in terms of strength and speed.
On the contrary, there are signs of surpassing him.
What's going on! ?
"Dang!"
As the swords in the hands of Mika and Yawei collided again, Mika, who had returned empty-handed again, quickly retreated and distanced himself from Yawei.
In the previous battle, Yawei had always been in a defensive state, turning all of Mika's attacks into nothing.
But it was his defensive posture that made Mika always in a state of tension.
Because Mika had no idea when she would switch from defense to offense.
Given the gap in swordsmanship between the two, if Mika didn't keep up with her movements, I'm afraid this duel would end in an instant.
"Huh!"
Exhaling deeply, Mika forced himself to calm down.
Then he stared at Yawei closely, observing his condition.
Then, Mika discovered something unusual.
On the back of Yawei's hand, there seemed to be traces similar to lines.
"That's it!"
"What? Did you find it?"
Waving the sword in her hand casually, Yawei chuckled and said, "Yes, this is the final form of the breathing method you mentioned, the stripes."
"It's really the stripes, just one night!"
Hearing this 'reasonable' answer, although Mika didn't react on the outside, he was shocked in his heart.
"What, are you nervous? Your heart beats a little fast, Mika!"
"I'm not nervous, wait!"
Looking at Yawei's smiling face, Mika, who originally wanted to push back the words reflexively, suddenly paused.
This time, he couldn't even keep the calm on his face.
"Is it a transparent world!"
"Oh, is this how the other world calls this state? It's really appropriate."
Yawei responded lightly.
"Sure enough!"
Mika's face showed a bitter expression.
In just one night, Yawei mastered the ultimate of the breathing method and swordsmanship of the Demon Slayer World.
The ultimate of the breathing method, the stripes.
The ultimate swordplay, transparent world.
Now, these two forces are appearing in front of Mika as opponents.
"What's wrong? Did you admit defeat?"
Hearing Yawei's smiling words, Mika couldn't help but complain: "Please, we are practicing, not competing, don't get too deep into the play, Master Yawei!"
"Hey, it seems like this."
Scratching her face a little embarrassedly, Yawei's face showed a trace of blush.
"Watch it!"
In order to change the subject, Yawei immediately rushed towards Mika.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait, don't get excited!"
Seeing Yawei quickly switch from defense to offense, Mika immediately put all his energy into defense.
If Mika was still vague about Yawei's breathing method and swordsmanship level before, then Mika at this time has deeply realized Yawei's strength.
This strength is invincible.
But even so, Mika's defense in front of Yawei's attack is like a dangerous building in a storm, and it is about to fall.
The breathing method and the markings gave Yawei a physical fitness that surpassed Mika.
The swordsmanship that reached the transparent world made all of Mika's reactions clear.
In front of Yawei, Mika had no chance of counterattacking.
Soon, after just two or three moves, Mika could no longer maintain his state and was quickly "killed" by Yawei.
"How about it, do you accept it?"
"I accept it, I accept it!"
Seeing Mika's complete surrender, Yawei smiled and took back the sword in her hand, and then pulled Mika up from the ground.
"Then come again?"
"Come again!"
Facing the incredibly powerful Yawei in front of him, Mika's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
At the beginning, after seeing Tanjiro and Santo's sparring, he wanted to come back because he knew that if he stayed there, no matter how he practiced, he would not be able to catch up with Tanjiro.
The progress brought by fighting with someone who is proficient in what you have learned is definitely much faster than simply practicing hard.
So Mika plans to use time and actual combat in the dungeon to make up for the gap between the two.
But now, Mika has found a better way to improve.
That is to practice with Yawei.
Like Tanjiro, this is a sparring with a strong person who is "proficient in what he has learned".
However, whether in breathing or swordsmanship, Yawei is better than Santo.
Even Urokodaki Sakonji and Tomioka Giyuu cannot compare with her in this aspect.
If we must compare her with someone in Demon Slayer, it must be Tsugikoku Yoriichi who lives in the background.
Only he can barely compare with Yawei.
Being able to practice with such a strong man of this level is an opportunity that others can't even ask for.
How could Mika not like it?
After a morning of fighting, Mika lay exhausted on the grass.
This morning, he was beaten all the time.
Facing the unpredictable Yawei, Mika was completely helpless.
But his beating was not without effect. This morning's practice made Mika's understanding of water breathing improve rapidly.
This speed of progress is even faster than when he first started learning.
"Ding ding! It's time for lunch!"
Hearing Yawei's voice, Mika reluctantly sat up.
"Where did you get the food?"
"I asked Xiaoqing and the others to make it in advance, and it was just delivered."
"You planned this all along!"
After taking the lunch box from Yawei, Micah helped Ahmed, who was lying beside him, up.
After a morning of training, Ahmed was also bruised and swollen like Micah at the beginning.
Holding Ahmed, who was weak all over, in his arms, Micah fed her lunch bit by bit.
Looking at Ahmed's blushing face, Yawei couldn't help but smacked her lips.
Feeding her dog food!
