In the Ghost Killing Team, no matter what method a swordsman uses, as long as he can kill 50 ghosts, or a 12 Ghost Moon level evil ghost, he can become the new Pillar of the Ghost Killing Team.
Originally, Ryuga was enough to become the new Pillar because he killed one of the Last Sentinels. However, he didn't receive such a notice. He was only given a task to go to Tokyo's Asakusa Mansion to eliminate the ghost.
Later, because they encountered the Ghost Dancer Ma No Miser, this task was abandoned.
According to Purgatory Xingshu Lang, when Ryuga killed one of the Last Sentinels, the higher-ups of the Ghost Killing Team did have the intention to promote him to the new Pillar, but because of the disagreement among the higher-ups, this proposal was not implemented.
Some of the Pillars thought that Ryuga's strength was enough to become the new Pillar, and killing the traitors was the right thing to do, including [Wind Pillar] Undying Kawa Shimiya, [Sound Pillar] Utsui Tengen, and [Snake Pillar] Ihei Barne.
But this proposal was opposed by [Rock Pillar] Bei Ming Yu Yuhang Ming and [Insect Pillar] Hu Dieren.
That's right, although Ihei Barne came back to teach him a lesson because of the Ganlu Temple incident, in fact, he was in favor of Ryuga becoming the new Pillar.
And although Hu Dieren got along well with Ryuga, she was actually one of the people who opposed Ryuga becoming the new Pillar.
The others, including [Water Pillar] Tomioka Yoshihide, [Love Pillar] Ganlu Temple Miri, and [Sunset Pillar] Toshikuro, chose to abstain and didn't comment on Ryuga's matter.
This information was learned by Ryuga from Hu Dieren two days ago.
Although Hu Dieren opposed Ryuga becoming the new Pillar, she told Ryuga about this matter without hiding anything.
Although she was one of the opposers, she didn't have a problem with Ryuga. She just agreed with Yan Zhu, the strongest member of the Ghost Killers. She thought that since Mr. Bei Ming Yu said so, he must have his reasons.
After getting in touch with Ryuga, Hu Dieren's attitude towards him changed because Ryuga deliberately changed her character. Although she did not say that she intended to support him, she also made it clear that she would not continue to oppose him.
In other words, from the beginning to the end, only [Stone Pillar] Lamenting Yu Xingming believed that Ryuga was not suitable to become the new Pillar.
"Although we, the Ghost Killers, take it as our duty to eradicate evil spirits, we will never forget our respect for life. It's not wrong for you to behead the members who joined the evil spirits without hesitation, but from your actions, I can't see a trace of respect for life."
Lamenting Yu Xingming sat on a boulder and clasped his hands together. "Your strength is enough, but the current you is not enough to become a pillar."
In a sense, Lamenting Yu Xingming was right.
To be able to see Ryuga's disrespect for life from the fact that Ryuga directly beheaded the members who joined the evil spirits, this man could be said to be very sharp … Or, it could be said that he was very suspicious. As long as there was a little doubt, he would not easily let it go.
"And then?"
However, Ryuga was still unmoved by his words. "What does this have to do with me coming to find you to exchange pointers today?"
Ryuga did not care at all whether he became a pillar or not.
From the beginning, he did not care about who agreed and who disagreed.
Sooner or later, he would leave this world. Whether he became a pillar or not, whether he could have more power in the upper echelons of the Ghost Killers, it made no difference to him.
What he cared about was only fighting with the experienced pillars of the Ghost Killers, and then absorbing their essence to improve himself. That was all.
"Namo Amitabha, of course it has something to do with it."
Lamenting Yu Xingming softly chanted the name of Buddha, and then said: "Since the lord has already allowed you to exchange pointers with us, then of course I will not refuse. But I also have a condition."
"Go kill the ghosts. Every time you kill a ghost, no matter if it is strong or weak, you can come and exchange pointers with me. But in the process, you cannot kill a single human. Even if it is a human who has joined the evil spirits, or a human who has committed the most heinous crimes, you cannot do it. Also, the whole process must be done under Zhuo Ya's supervision."
Lamenting Yu Xingming proposed such a condition.
In all fairness, it was not difficult. In fact, it could be said to be very simple.
Of course, the lord's prestige in the Ghost Killers was very high. Even the strongest member of the Ghost Killers, [Rock Pillar], was very respectful to him. Even if he had a problem with Ryuga, he would not openly disobey the lord's orders.
Because of this, Lamenting Yu Xingming proposed a condition for Ryuga to kill ghosts.
On one hand, it was to let Ryuga shine and kill as many evil spirits as possible. On the other hand, from the 'not killing a single human', it could be seen that Lamenting Yu Xingming was deliberately cultivating Ryuga's respect for life.
In other words, although he opposed Ryuga becoming the new pillar, he did not oppose Ryuga as a person. Instead, he planned to use this special method to train him.
Presumably, after a few years, if Ryuga's performance changed, he would not continue to oppose Ryuga becoming the new pillar.
In a sense, what Purgatory Xingshu Lang could not do was done by Lamenting Yu Xingming.
"Okay."
Ryuga nodded and agreed. Then, he did not continue to dawdle here. He turned and left the back mountain.
Lamenting Yu Xingming's condition was considered to be within the rules. Even if the lord knew about it, he could not say anything. Ryuga could not directly attack him. Otherwise, it would not be a spar, but a quarrel. If he was disrespectful to the pillar, it was very likely that he would be expelled from the Ghost Killers. This was not in line with Ryuga's goal.
Moreover, Lamenting Yu Xingming was indeed stronger than him. Ryuga was well aware of this.
The rules in this world were always set by the strong. As a weak person, Ryuga did not intend to go against the rules. Then, he could only do things according to the rules of the strong.
But on the other hand, when he became strong one day, the rules would be set by him.
… …
After returning to the mansion, Ryuga once again asked his Zhuo Ya to help him accept ghost killing missions. Once again, he began his ghost killing journey. Every two or three days, he would leave the headquarters and go to other places to kill ghosts.
At the same time, he also tried his best to pay attention to the movements of the pillars. Once a pillar returned to the Ghost Killers' headquarters, Ryuga would immediately set off and return to the Ghost Killers' headquarters.
Under such circumstances, more than ten days passed.
Because he had killed two ghosts outside, Ryuga had already sparred with Lamenting Yu Xingming twice. He felt the overwhelming strength of the strongest member of the Ghost Killers' headquarters.
If Ryuga went all out and faced Purgatory Xingshu Lang, he still had a 10% chance of winning. However, if he faced Lamenting Yu Xingming, he had completely lost the possibility of winning.
His opponent's physical fitness was not inferior to Ryuga at all. His breathing technique was more proficient than Ryuga's. Needless to say, his sword skills were even better. Even if Ryuga used Future Vision, he was still suppressed throughout the entire process. Both sparring sessions ended in defeat.
