When the sun was high in the sky, Ryuga went back to the tree hole where Shan Yi was resting.
He already had three Sunwheel Blades. One of them was given to him by Shan Yi's trainer. It was a Sunwheel Blade for the Breath of Thunder Swordsman, a Sunwheel Blade for the Breath of Wind Swordsman, and a Sunwheel Blade for the Breath of Fire Swordsman with a red blade.
"Ah? Ryuga Jann, you are back. "
Inside the tree hole, Shan Yi sat up with sleepy eyes. He became curious when he saw the three Solar Blades on Ryuga's body.
"Ryuga Jann, what is with these blades?"
"I picked them up."
Ryuga sat down in the tree hole and returned Shan Yi's Solar Blade to him. At the same time, she spoke in a flat tone.
"I think some people died last night. I went out to look for them. I was lucky and found two of them."
Ryuga was still breathing calmly. Her eyes were as indifferent as ever. Even her heartbeat was the same.
"Oh."
Hearing Liu Xia's words, Shan Yi didn't find that Liu Xia was lying; instead, he sighed with mixed feelings, "So many people have died in one night?"
Shan Yi had a special ability that few people knew about.
His hearing was so good that it was better than that of human beings. Not only could he hear distant sounds that ordinary people could not, but he could also tell a person from a ghost by listening to the sound.
It was even to the extent that he was able to clearly hear the emotions contained within a person's words, and he was able to discern if the person was lying, panicking, or harboring evil intentions.
Therefore, no matter who it was, as long as they had feelings, they could not hide from Shan Yi's ears.
However, Shan Yi didn't hear any lies from Ryuga. No, to be exact, he couldn't hear any emotions from Ryuga's words. It was as if she were talking to him like a stone.
Therefore, Shan Yi couldn't tell if Ryuga was lying or not.
After so long, this was the first time he had met someone like Ryuga. It was as if she did not even have a trace of emotion. She was as cold as a piece of ore without any heat.
However, Shan Yi still chose to believe in Ryuga.
Even if he wanted to learn the [Breathing Technique] and sword techniques from him, he still ended up bringing a burden like him along. Furthermore, he was indeed protecting him.
Since he was still willing to protect him even after learning the [Breathing Technique] and the sword technique, he could at least be considered a man of his word. He shouldn't be a bad person.
What's more, he could even trust those women who had deliberately approached him in order to cheat him of his money. Ryuga was no exception.
Simply put, his personality was too kind. He was so kind that he was willing to believe even if it was a lie.
However, he was indeed deceived by Ryuga this time.
The Sun Wheel Blade was indeed picked up by him after the death of the original owner of the body.
It was just that no one saw the process.
In order to prevent any accidents, Ryuga only 'picked up' two, and only after confirming that the original owner was dead did she 'pick up' them.
The second night arrived.
That night, Ryuga killed another three demons. The total number of man-eating demons killed was now seven.
When the day came, he once again left the tree hole to look for the backup swordsmen of the various schools.
However, this time, he was not looking to 'pick up' the sunblade, but purely to compete with the various swordsmen.
Just as mentioned before, Ryuga was not a swordsman like Miyamoto Musashi. Musashi did not need any sword techniques. He completely relied on 'moving with the sword, changing according to the situation' to fight. However, Ryuga could not.
He needed all kinds of sword techniques to enrich himself. This way, he could truly become stronger.
On the third night, Ryuga killed another two demons.
The words on the [Mission Template] at the bottom right of his vision had become — —
[Spirit Base Upgrade Mission I – Basic Ability Points Increase Limit]: Total of 10 man-eating demons killed (9/10)
"There is only one left. I should be able to complete the first Spirit Base Upgrade Mission tonight."
On the fourth day, after the competition with the other swordsmen ended, Ryuga went into the tree hole to recharge and prepare for the night's hunt.
… …
A few hours later, the fourth night arrived.
Ryuga and Shan Yi once again walked out of the tree hole and wandered around the mountain.
However, as the days passed, the number of demons decreased significantly. Perhaps it was because Ryuga had killed too many demons.
On the first and second day, Ryuga could kill three demons a day. On the third day, Ryuga only killed two demons.
And on the fourth day.
Ryuga and Shan Yi wandered around the mountain for half a night, but did not meet a single demon.
"Today's luck is really good!"
Shan Yi followed beside Ryuga. He was very happy. There was no longer the fear and cowardice from a few days ago. His face was full of peace.
For the past few days, every demon that rushed out at night was quickly killed by Ryuga. After this scene was played in front of his eyes for nearly ten times, he had completely understood how strong Ryuga's strength was. In this newbie selection, she was definitely invincible. This made him feel a sense of security. His whole body was light and he was almost overjoyed.
"Ahhhhhhh — — —!!!"
However, just as Shan Yi finished sighing, there was an incomparably shrill scream from not far away.
Ryuga stopped in her tracks and without hesitation, she turned around and ran towards the direction of the scream.
Shan Yi's expression turned bitter, but he didn't have the confidence to survive alone. After looking around at the pitch-black surroundings, he immediately shuddered and hurriedly ran after Liu Xia.
On an open space a few hundred meters away from the two of them.
There was a gigantic Xenomorph standing there.
It was a completely literal creature that was fundamentally different from ordinary humans and demons.
It was nearly three meters tall, and its body was extremely bloated like a walking piece of meat. Its skin was grayish-green like polluted muddy water.
Its torso was full of arms of different lengths. It even used two of its arms as a scarf to wrap around its neck, as if it was specially prepared to deal with the Ghost Killer's swordsmen's neck-slashing tactic.
"A demon with a strange shape?"
When Ryuga arrived here, she noticed the incomparably conspicuous huge figure that was constantly emitting a foul smell. She determined its identity at a glance.
That kind of strange posture would definitely make people associate it with the name 'Strange Shape Ghost'. But, according to the Ghost Killer's statement, there should not be any Strange Shape Ghost on Mount Fuji.
"But, it doesn't matter if it's a Strange Shape Ghost or not. You're my last prey."
Even in the face of the gigantic Mutated Ghost, Liu Xia didn't show any fear, even though the Mutated Ghost was far more powerful than an ordinary Evil Ghost.
Instead, the moment she saw the opponent, she pulled out the two sun-chakra blades from her waist and rushed towards the opponent without hesitation.
