Among all the breathing styles of the Ghost Killers, the Water Breath was recognized as the easiest breathing technique to cultivate. As long as one had a calm and mature state of mind, they would have a very good compatibility with the Water Breath, and it would be very easy to cultivate.
In terms of personality, Ryuga was most suited to cultivate the Breath of Water.
However, he was not satisfied with just learning one breathing technique. His goal was to learn as many breathing techniques as possible, and then merge them together, eliminating the disadvantages, and create a [Hybrid Breathing Technique] that encompassed the advantages of all the breathing techniques.
In other words, Ryuga planned to create a new breathing technique.
He had a powerful talent that surpassed countless people in the world, so there was no reason not to use it. For Ryuga, who valued efficiency, this was something that he had to do.
Moreover, if he could really create a new breathing technique that combined the advantages of all the breathing techniques, then his strength would definitely increase by another step.
Among the five major breathing techniques, the Breath of Rock was the most difficult to cultivate, followed by the Breath of Thunder, Breath of Flame, Breath of Wind, and Breath of Water were the easiest to cultivate.
Ryuga spent about a day to learn the Breath of Thunder, and less than an hour to learn the Breath of Wind.
The reason why the time needed to learn the second breathing technique was so short was because all breathing techniques had something in common. After learning the first breathing technique, learning the second breathing technique would naturally be much easier.
After Ryuga learned the more difficult Breath of Thunder, learning the simpler Breath of Wind was naturally much faster.
Of course, this was also because Ryuga's talent was so strong that it bordered on unreasonable. Even if a normal person learned the first breathing technique and wanted to learn the second, they would still need to spend a huge amount of time. It would not be as easy as him. Instead of spending time learning the second breathing technique, it would be better to use the time to hone his sword skills.
Ryuga, on the other hand, spent two hours learning the Breath of Flame.
The time needed to learn the third breathing technique was one hour longer than the second. This was not only because the Breath of Flame was harder to cultivate than the Breath of Wind, but also because the compatibility between the Breath of Flame and Ryuga was not high.
It should be said that among all the breathing techniques, the Breath of Flame was the least suitable for Ryuga.
This was because learning the Breath of Flame required the user to have a sufficiently warm and cheerful personality, and a heart as hot as fire. However, this was what Ryuga lacked the most, so it was naturally half the effort.
There were also two other breathing techniques that were derived from the basic breathing techniques, and there was no need to explain them here.
And now, under Saomon Tanjiro's guidance, Ryuga was attempting to learn the Water Breathing technique.
"You have to breathe like this! Like this! Let the lungs ~ Expand ~ Expand! "
Tan Zhilang of the Kitchen Sect danced with joy as he demonstrated the Water Breathing technique to Liu Xia. However, his movements were really puzzling. She couldn't understand what he meant at all.
"Shut up. Just use it for me to see."
Even with Ryuga's insight, he could not understand what Tanji Tanjiro was trying to express. He had no choice but to interrupt his actions and let him demonstrate.
Saomon Tanjiro's teaching ability was destructive. It was much worse than Miyamoto Musashi's. At least Miyamoto Musashi was able to answer skillfully under Ryuga's guidance. On the other hand, Tanji Tanjiro's teaching was too abstract. Whether it was the actions or language, it was not something that others could understand.
Saomon Tanjiro was not angry at Ryuga's rude interruption. He adjusted his breathing rhythm and demonstrated all the techniques he knew to Ryuga.
Ryuga watched thoughtfully. His amber eyes recorded all the details of Saomon Tanjiro's actions.
Ten minutes later.
"I learned it."
Ryuga said with a calm expression. But the words he said shocked Saomon Tanjiro, Shan Yi, and the others.
Liu Xia stood where she was and slightly opened her mouth. Then, she started breathing in a very long and firm rhythm.
"He really learned it … …"
Saomon Tanjiro was stunned. He lowered his head and looked at the calluses on his hands from holding the sword for two years. He fell into deep thought.
Although Shan Yi's eyes were twitching, he had experienced the shock of Ryuga learning other breathing techniques two days ago. He was not too surprised.
The young man in the black coat was treating his own wounds. He did not hear their conversation.
"Let's demonstrate the Water Breathing Sword Skill together."
"Eh? Oh … … "
Under Ryuga's request, Saomon Tanjiro began to demonstrate the ten sword techniques that went with the Water Breathing.
The principles behind the Water Breathing sword techniques were quickly grasped by Ryuga. The terrifying learning speed he showed made Saomon Tanjiro completely speechless.
Of course, sword techniques and breathing techniques were different. For things like breathing techniques, if you learned it, you learned it. If you did not learn it, you did not learn it. There was no third possibility. As long as you could overcome that obstacle, you would have a smooth journey ahead.
But for sword techniques, it was useless to only know the principles. You had to try it out yourself. You even needed to practice it in battle. There was no way to quickly learn it in a short time.
For example, it took Liu Xia less than half an hour to understand the principles behind the eight sword skills of the [Breath of Wind], which was even shorter than the time it took to learn the [Breathing Technique]. However, it took him almost three days to completely master the eight sword skills.
Similarly, if Ryuga wanted to completely master the Water Breathing sword techniques and the Flame Breathing sword techniques, he would still need a lot of time to practice and a lot of battles to hone his skills.
"Thank you."
Ryuga sheathed his sword and thanked Saomon Tanjiro.
If he was facing Saomon Tanjiro alone, he would not need to thank him. But in front of others, Ryuga would put on a hypocritical mask to establish a persona that would not be rejected.
It was just like how he had displayed his gentlemanly demeanor in front of Heitong Ganye and the two Rites of Ceremonies, but when he was alone with the two Rites of Ceremonies, he immediately exposed his cold and ruthless nature.
"It's okay. You are also a member of the Ghost Killing Team. We will be companions in the future. There is no need to thank me."
Saomon Tanjiro recovered from his speechlessness. He smiled and waved his hand at Ryuga.
There was no trace of jealousy towards Ryuga's talent on his face, nor was there any hidden rejection. His smile was as sincere as before, without any falsehood.
"It is very hard to be a good person."
Ryuga's eyes dimmed as he thought silently.
Tan Zhilang of the Kitchen Sect was a person of value.
