The night of the fourth day passed quickly. Ryuga and the others returned to the tree hole. Saomon Tanjiro and the black-robed youth who claimed to be Yamashita also came here.
Previously, when the four of them were about to split up, Tan Zhilang of Kitchen Sect couldn't abandon the injured Shan Xia and planned to move together with him. Then, Shan Yi suggested, "Why don't the four of us go together?"
Yamashita of course did not agree. He was still injured and could not deal with the ghosts later. He was eager to move together with Ryuga who could crush the Alien ghosts.
Saomon Tanjiro also did not object.
Thus, Ryuga, Shan Yi, Tanji Tanjiro and Yamashita formed a small team that would move together for a short period of time.
When the sun set, Shan Yi and Yamashita went to rest in the tree hole.
Saomon Tanjiro was asked by Ryuga to spar with him. The kind Tanji Tanjiro could not refuse Ryuga's request. He was easily used by Ryuga and became the second tool after Shan Yi.
It was worth mentioning that after sparring with Saomon Tanjiro, Ryuga found that his strength was surprisingly good. At least, he was much stronger than most of the people on the mountain who were just there to make up the numbers.
According to Ryuga's judgment, he could at least face a few evil ghosts at the same time. As for whether he could fight against the Alien ghost from before, it was hard to say. However, it seemed that Tanji Tanjiro had the ability to discover the weaknesses of others. Thus, Ryuga felt that his chances of winning were higher.
Currently, in this small team, Ryuga was worthy of being called the strongest. Saomon Tanjiro was close behind, followed by Yamashita.
As for my wife Shan Yi, he had never shown his strength because his legs would go soft whenever he encountered ghosts. On the surface, he was the weakest person in the team. It was equivalent to having no combat power and could be ignored.
While sparring with Saomon Tanjiro, Ryuga's understanding of the Ten Great Sword Techniques of the [Aqua Breath] was rapidly improving. Ryuga believed that she would be able to fully master it in two days.
After Saomon Tanjiro went to rest, Ryuga finally had some free time and began to think about upgrading her spirit base.
Since he had killed the Hand Ghost, he had completed the first Spiritual Base upgrade mission given by the [Anonymous Spiritual Base]. He had received a limited chance to upgrade his basic ability.
Good steel should be used on the blade.
Ryuga didn't plan to save this opportunity for future use. He planned to use this opportunity now.
This was because his second mission was to deal with the twelve strongest wraiths — the 'Twelve Ghost Moons'.
To be fair, Ryuga's current strength was indeed much stronger than a few days ago. However, it was still impossible to say that he could defeat one of the 'Twelve Ghost Moons' with a hundred percent certainty.
After all, the 'Twelve Ghost Moons' had different strengths and weaknesses. If he encountered a weaker one, Ryuga should be able to fight it with all his strength. It was hard to say who would win. However, if he encountered a stronger one, he would most likely not be able to defeat it.
Therefore, he decided to use this opportunity right now.
"Use the Spiritual Base upgrade opportunity to limit the increase of [Strength]."
After Ryuga gave this command to the [Anonymous Spiritual Base], a warm current appeared from within his body and flowed into his limbs and bones.
In the spiritual base model at the bottom left of his vision, the [Strength] that represented the strength of the body jumped from 'E-' to 'E.'
The [Strength] value was very pure. It was purely the strength of the body, which was the strength of the muscle fibers, bone density, and so on.
A Level E [Strength] meant that the body's strength was ten times that of a normal person.
Ryuga stood under the sun. Although his body was still thin and there were no visible ripples of muscles on the surface, when he clenched his fist slightly, he could feel a surge of explosive power that was completely different from before.
Under normal circumstances, a human's limit was two to three times that of a normal person. However, Ryuga's current strength had exceeded that limit by more than three times.
"This way, even if I face the Twelve Ghost Moons, as long as they aren't too strong, I should be able to win."
As Liu Xia felt the power surging out of her body, she thought to herself, "If that's the case, there's a high chance that the second Spirit Base Upgrade Mission will be completed successfully, and I'll get the chance to upgrade my first skill."
Although it was a sudden increase in strength, Ryuga did not feel that he could not control it at all.
Of course, this was because he had already raised his [Agility] value to Level E, and his control over his body was also ten times that of a normal person. Facing the sudden increase in strength, he did not feel the slightest bit sluggish.
However, with Level E [Agility], the limit of strength that he could control was this. Once his [Strength] value increased again, his strength would increase again, but his control over his strength would be more or less restricted, and a part of the 20 times increase in strength would be wasted.
Level E [Agility] could perfectly control Level E [Strength], and Level D [Agility] could perfectly control Level D [Strength]. It was the same for Level C, Level B, and Level A.
Therefore, relatively speaking, under the situation of having the same [Strength] value, if one party's [Agility] was obviously higher than the other party's, then the strength that he could use would obviously be higher than the other party's. This was because his control over his strength was better than the other party's.
After the three of them fell asleep, Ryuga left the place as usual and began to walk in the forest.
After his [Strength] reached Level E, his strength and speed were both ten times that of a normal person. With the support of [Kokyu-ho], with his body weight of around 30 kilograms, he could jump more than ten meters high in the air. His speed was so fast that it was hard to catch with the naked eye, and he could run along the wall to the rooftop. It was so fast that it made people's hair stand on end.
However, it seemed that because the final selection was coming to an end, there were very few Reserve Swordsmen left. Ryuga searched the forest for half a day but could not find a new Swordsman. He could only return to the tree hole to catch up on his sleep and prepare for the arrival of night.
On the fifth night, with the first Spiritual Base upgrade mission completed, Ryuga did not purposely go out to look for evil spirits like he did a few days ago. The four of them gathered together, and no one left the tree hole.
It did not look like a survival selection at all, but more like a night camp.
Perhaps it was because Ryuga had killed too many of them a few days ago, or perhaps it was because they saw that the four Swordsmen gathered together were not to be trifled with, but not a single ghost appeared during the night. This allowed Tanji Jiro and the people at the foot of the mountain to have a very comfortable night.
The fifth and sixth days passed quickly. After two days, nothing unexpected happened, and the forest was very peaceful.
At the end of the sixth night, Ryuga continued to go out to look for surviving Swordsmen.
This time, he finally found a new Reserve Swordsman.
Her long hair was tied up in a side ponytail, and she was wearing a cherry-pink dress. She stood in the open space like a beautiful lotus flower, attracting a group of butterflies to fly around her.
Ryuga's eyes lit up, and he did not hesitate to draw the sunblade in his hand.
