After Tanji Jiro successfully became the second stepson of the Purgatory Xingshu Lang, Ryuga explained to him the purpose of his visit.
"I want to learn your family's Dance of Kagura from you."
Ryuga was very honest with Tanji Jiro.
"No problem. It just so happens that my body has almost recovered."
Tanji Jiro agreed and took the katana from Ryuga. He demonstrated it on the spot in the courtyard.
His katana broke when he was in the Spider Mountain. It would take a month for a new one to be delivered.
Tanji Jiro's family's Dance of Kagura, or rather, the Breath of the Sun sword technique hidden in the Dance of Kagura, had a total of twelve forms.
Ryuga memorized them one by one. He was going to study and sort them out when he went back. He wanted to see if he could integrate these sword techniques into his own set of sword techniques.
Tanji Jiro didn't hide his intentions from Shan Yi, Yi Nosuke, and the Purgatory Xingshu Lang. He openly demonstrated it in front of the three of them.
Ryuga looked at them thoughtfully.
When Tanji Jiro finished his demonstration and returned the katana to him, he took the opportunity to ask, "Did you teach the Breath of the Sun to others?"
"I did."
Tanji Jiro nodded very casually. There was no trace of forced haze on his face. "After all, as long as more powerful people learn this Breath of the Sun, the strength of the Ghost Killers will definitely increase. They will be able to kill more man-eating evil spirits and have more confidence in killing No Misery. This is a good thing."
Ryuga thought that if he and Tanji Jiro were in different positions, he wouldn't be as selfless as Tanji Jiro.
On one hand, it was because the relationship between the strong and the weak was based on comparison. It didn't matter if he helped the Ghost Killers produce a few katanas. However, if he taught the Breath of the Sun to the Ghost Killers and let everyone in the Ghost Killers know it, then his position would change from 'relatively strong' to 'not worth mentioning'. His value would be greatly reduced.
Between the strong and the weak, he was more inclined to stand on the side of the strong.
On the other hand, of course, it was because Ryuga didn't do anything without benefits. If he wanted to teach the Breath of the Sun to the Ghost Killers, at least the Ghost Killers had to come up with a corresponding degree of benefits.
However, according to Tanji Jiro, although he taught the Breath of the Sun to the Ghost Killers — —
"But right now, apart from you, it seems that no one else has been able to learn it."
Tanji Jiro also said with some confusion, "As a pillar, Miss Hu Die didn't learn it. Master Purgatory also learned it, but he didn't learn it. Even the Ghost Killers' strongest member, Mr. Lamenting Yuxing Ming, also didn't learn it."
"At present, other than me, only you, Ryuga Jann, can use this breathing technique in the Ghost Killers. After the Lord knew about this, he thought that to learn this breathing technique, it might require a very high talent, so he planned to call Mr. [Sunset Pillar] Shitou back … …"
Ryuga nodded.
After all, this was the breathing technique and sword skill passed down by Tanji Jiro's family. He wouldn't interfere with his decision, as long as he did gain benefits, it was enough.
After not staying in the Butterfly House for long, after memorizing all twelve forms of the Breath of the Sun, Ryuga returned to the Purgatory Mansion and entered a state of cultivation.
The Breath of the Sun was very powerful. It should be said that it was worthy of being the sword skill that almost killed Nothingness once. With Ryuga's shallow knowledge, there was no way to change it at all.
Ryuga could only temporarily discard the parts that weren't suitable for [Niten Ichirō], or integrate the essence of the parts into other sword skills, and then put them all into a set of sword skills that he had sorted out himself.
There were a total of ten sword skills that he had sorted out.
Involving the original [Breath of the Water], [Breath of the Thunder], [Breath of the Wind], [Breath of the Sun], [Breath of the Sun], [Breath of the Fire], [Breath of the Sun], and [Breath of the Sun], Ryuga took these scattered sword skills that had the same principles, and made them into ten sword skills that truly belonged to him.
A month had just passed.
At the same time, Ryuga had successfully created his own combined breathing technique.
The advantages of the five major breathing techniques had been integrated into one breathing technique, forming a brand new breathing technique that was above the five major basic breathing techniques.
Only, it wasn't quite what Ryuga had expected. The breathing technique he had created was not at all inferior to the [Breath of the Sun] that Tanji Jiro had taught him.
In terms of explosiveness, heat, and heaviness, it was on par with the [Breath of the Sun], but in terms of toughness and stamina, it was even stronger than the [Breath of the Sun]. Even the consumption of stamina was very small.
Overall, this breathing technique he had created was much more outstanding and practical than Tanji Jiro's [Breath of the Sun].
"What's going on?"
In the courtyard, Ryuga lowered his head and pondered. "In my guess, after combining all five major basic breathing techniques, it should only be an inferior version of the [Breath of the Sun]. Now, it's actually not inferior to the [Breath of the Sun] at all?"
Had he overestimated the [Breath of the Sun]'s status? Or had he underestimated the possibility of the five major basic breathing techniques?
"No, it's also possible that Tanji Jiro's [Breath of the Sun] was an inferior version to begin with. His [Breath of the Sun] isn't the true [Breath of the Sun]?"
Thinking about it carefully, this might be the real possibility.
Four hundred years ago, that swordsman who had used the [Breath of the Sun] had been able to force Ghost Dancer Wu Jie, who was above everyone in the Ghost Killers, into a desperate situation. But now, when Ryuga used the [Tanji Jiro's] version of the [Breath of the Sun], he didn't feel that sense of power that transcended everything. Even if he excluded other factors such as stamina and sword skills, this feeling of disparity was still too obvious.
Moreover, the [Tanji Jiro's] version of the [Breath of the Sun] also had the drawback of consuming a lot of stamina … Overall, it was more likely that the [Tanji Jiro's] clan had not inherited the true [Breath of the Sun].
But on the other hand, if even the inferior version of the [Breath of the Sun] was so powerful, he really didn't know how powerful the true [Breath of the Sun] was.
"Forget it, since I can't obtain the true [Breath of the Sun] right now, there's no point in thinking about it anymore. Let's go out first and accept a mission."
Ryuga let out a deep breath, and thought: "Right now, it's very difficult for my strength to increase again in a short period of time. This time, the sparring with [Sorrowful Cry Yu Xing Ming] should be the last sparring."
The [Breathing Technique] was created.
The sword skills were sorted out.
For a short period of time, there was no use for a person to cultivate in seclusion.
The rest could only rely on actual combat to continue improving.
Therefore, he planned to continue accepting missions from the Ghost Killers and go out to train his sword skills. He could also use this opportunity to continue sparring with [Sorrowful Cry Yu Xing].
His current strength was in no way inferior to the [Purgatory Cry Yu Xing Ming], and was extremely close to [Sorrowful Cry Yu Xing Ming]. With the [Future Vision], even if he faced [Sorrowful Cry Yu Xing Ming], he felt that he could remain undefeated. As for whether he could win or not, he would only know after fighting.
Crow quickly accepted a mission and sent it to Ryuga.
"There have been many cases of courtesans disappearing for no apparent reason in Yoshihara's red-light district. The Ghost Killers believe that an evil spirit is behind this. Member Kurumo Ryuga is to immediately head out to investigate and slay the evil spirit!"
Ryuga accepted this mission.
Because the destination was quite far from the headquarters, Ryuga brought his suitcase. Ryuga brought a tent with him for the convenience of camping at night. In order to prevent any accidents, Ryuga also brought his zither case.
Right after that, he didn't explain anything to anyone and left the Ghost Killers' headquarters by himself, heading towards his destination.
His departing figure was exactly the same as when he arrived.
Apart from a slight increase in height and weight, there was almost no difference.
