As the sun rose over the mountains, the darkness faded, and the sounds of is and birds began to stir.

  "No matter how many times it happens, watg the sunrise in this era is always breathtaking..."

  The sun rose from behind the distant mountains, its warm light shining on every patch of nd and every person who had survived the trials.

  "Ha~"

  Feng Yu closed his eyes, feeling a breath pletely different from the Water Breathing teique flowing through him.

  But soon, his breath was interrupted.

  "I’ve gained a little insight... but it's not enough. The Water Breathing inside me is being a hindrahe transitioweewo is too difficult, and the Light Breathing flicts with the Water Breathing..."

  "No wonder, when watg anime in my past life, the Pilrs always said that a person 't simultaneously master two Breathing teiques. It's not that it's impossible, but there’s a barrier betweewo. If you don’t break this barrier, it will actually cause harm to the body…"

  Feng Yu touched the fox mask on his forehead, lost in thought.

  "Wele back!"

  The siblings of the Ubuyashik family greeted.

  "gratutions, everyo's a relief you're all fine."

  "Now, what’s ?"

  One of the trial partits asked.

  "First, we’ll distribute team uniforms, measure your sizes, and mark your ranks. There are ten ranks: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J."

  "Right now, you are all at the lowest rank, the I-rank."

  Feng Yu watched them recite their lines with the same tone, feeling a bit sarcastic.

  He thought, How do these two mao keep a straight face, standing still without blinking for so long?

  "Today, you will select the steel for your swords, but f them will take ten to fifteen days."

  "Before that, I have an annou."

  "Due to some individuals exhibiting exceptional strength, there are a few who did not qualify to pass the trials."

  At this, their gazes turo Feng Yu.

  Feng Yu, sensing the attention, waved his hand, signaling his innoce. I just wao practice swinging my sword a few more times, I didn't io save anyone.

  "The following names are those who failed the trial: Shigou Ichirou, Nagashima Miyoko..."

  The list tinued for ten names in total.

  The crowd of unsuccessful partits erupted in protest.

  "What’s the meaning of this? We passed the seven-day survival trial! Why aren’t we allowed to pass? We won’t accept this!"

  A group of people voiced their objes boldly.

  "Everyohis is for your own good. You don't have the strength to pass the trial. Even if we let you through this time, future missions are full of danger, and you would still fall to the demons in the end."

  The Ubuyashik siblings spoke calmly.

  After hearing this, most of the group fell silent. After all, their experiences over the st seven days had terrified them.

  Even the weakest demon was too much for them to fight. They had watched their rades get killed and devoured by demons.

  If it weren't for a man saving them, they wouldn't eveanding here…

  Realizing this, the group fell quiet.

  After some iurmoil, they left the square.

  However, some refused to accept it, believing they had the strength to survive.

  As for the Ubuyashik siblings, they didn’t pay any attention to them, leaving them to stew in their frustration.

  The few people whnored by the siblings were about to approad take a, but Feng Yu stepped forward and kicked them all out of the way.

  "Get lost, a bunch of useless fools. I should’ve let the demo you first and then killed them. If I had, you wouldn’t be here dirtying my eyes now."

  Feng Yu spoke indifferently.

  The people who were kicked away looked at him in fear.

  They knew Feng Yu was a ruthless individual—he had single-handedly taken oen demons without a scratch. They didn’t dare to retaliate a quietly.

  The Ubuyashik siblings exged a meaningful gnce before g their hands.

  The sky filled with the caw of crows.

  At that moment, a crow nded on the shoulder of each person who had passed the trial.

  Feng Yu watched as a crow perched on his shoulder, and the crow stared back at him.

  "From now on, a crow will apany each of you."

  The Ubuyashik siblings spoke.

  "Well, that’s fine. After the trial tasks are plete, I’ll try to form a tract with the crow, the Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei lear Breathing teiques…"

  Feng Yu casually gave the crow he had just met the name “Xiao Hei,” already pnning its future life.

  "The crows are mainly used for unication."

  The individuals who had received their crows began to ihem, occasionally teasing them or petting their feathers.

  "Now, please select a piece of steel for your swords, and remember to protect your on from demons. The f material is up to you."

  The group gathered in front of various types of steel.

  "This... How should we choose? I have no idea…"

  "Yeah, I’ve never seen this before…"

  …

  Each person was filled with doubt, not knowing how to select the right steel.

  Feng Yu, however, didn’t say much. He simply walked up and chose a piece of steel that appealed to him.

  Seeing him select his material, the others followed suit and made their choices. Soon, everyone had picked their steel for the f of their swords.

  "Now that everyone has selected their steel, your swords will be delivered to you io fifteen days."

  …

  With that, the trial came to a close. Feng Yu’s system was still upgrading, but the notification for pleting the mission had already sounded.

  "System upgrades are such a hassle. I wonder how long this will take to finish. The mission is pleted, but I ’t cim the reward yet. I nning to let Xiao Bai lear Breathing after returning..."

  "I’ll just have to wait..."

  With that, Feng Yu, fully dressed, began his journey back to Sagiri Mountain.

  Demon Syer Headquarters

  A crow arrived in front of Kagaya Ubuyashiki, delivering the results of the trial.

  "I see. Sixteen survived, but only six truly passed. How excellent... My children have grown again. I wonder what kind of swordsmen they’ll bee..."

  Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled as he petted the crow, his white eyes gazing far into the distance.

  "I wonder, pared to when Tanjiro returned covered in wounds, isn't the differeween us a bit too big?"

  Feng Yu rubbed his thoughtfully.

  "I wonder how Tanjiro is doing now..."

  "I 't wait to see the look on Master Urokodaki’s face when he sees me now..."

  "That feeling is going to be amazing..."

  As the su sah the horizon, Feng Yu walked slowly toward Sagiri Mountain, unaware that his breath was already beginning to ge.
