Chapter 7 Chapter 7 “ Not Fast Enough ! ” … …​

“ Not fast enough ! ”

" Too little strength ! "

" You're so slow ! "

Many team members had already gathered in the dojo , and Rengoku Kyojuro 's golden- red hair was particularly eye-catching . Soon, another team member was knocked down by his wooden sword and died unfortunately .

Bo Ye Zhu and Zhenren were standing at one end , very close to each other . The atmosphere was obviously more harmonious than others , making it difficult to interrupt .

When they arrived , the Flame Pillar's training had just begun . Dozens of team members took turns to practice with the Flame Pillar . Now , not long after , only one-third of the team members were left waiting off the field .

Everyone was pale , feeling immense pressure as they watched their teammates being killed instantly .

Because it was a sparring match , everyone used wooden swords that imitated the style of the Nichirin sword , but if the fight got too intense , the wooden swords would break .

Bo Ye Zhu looked around and saw that there were not many people standing in their area . It seemed that they were all there to watch . Maybe they were future companions , or maybe they were team members under other pillars who happened to be on vacation and came to watch the Flame Pillar's sparring .

After all, sparring with Pillar - level swordsmen is still rare . Take Usoba Nagisa as an example . He has never tried to spar with a Pillar- level swordsman in the three years since he joined the Demon Slayer Corps - his level is not high enough .

But now that he and the real person have both reached their own level , it means that their training needs to be upgraded .

With a silent sigh , the last few players took the stage one by one . Bo Yezhu whispered to Zhenren : " Will they line up again after their turns ? "

This was the first time the real person came to see it . He shook his head and said , " I don't know either . "

An enthusiastic member of the Demon Slayer Corps heard this and immediately explained , " The Flame Pillar seems to prefer to practice with just anyone in the room . "​​​

" Yes , I have been preparing for a long time ! I hope that Lord Flame Pillar can choose me ! " Another person clenched his fists , his eyes full of admiration .

Bo Ye Zhu : " Are you all here prepared ? " No way , he really thought that everyone was here to watch !​​

Several people around nodded .​

Bo Ye Zhu's Adam 's apple rolled , and he turned his head back and pulled Zhenren 's hand : " How about we go ? "

The Immortal touched the top of his head and whispered , " But it was Master Flame who sent us here . "​

Uzumaki Nagisa : …​​

He could only pray silently that he would not be called , as it would be embarrassing for him if he went up .

It doesn't work even if you point it at Zhenzhen , because Zhenzhen is not much better than him .

Today, Zhenren looked a little exhausted . He leaned on Bo Yezhu , and the two of them stood sticky together . Bo Yezhu looked at the field with a pious look on his face .

Until the last player left the field .

It ’s coming !

Rengoku Kyojuro was still full of energy , holding the wooden sword . He looked around the entire dojo , and finally his eyes fell on Uroba Nagisa .

With a bright smile on his face , Rengoku Kyojuro pointed a finger and said , " Come on ! That blue- haired swordsman ! "

Bo Yezhu shuddered and looked more nervous than the real person . It was true that things could not stand being talked about . What you fear will come true . Their Zhenzhen really could n't beat Lord Flame Pillar if he went up !

what to do ?

The real person did n't expect that the Flame Pillar would choose him to go on the field . His eyes flashed , he squeezed Bo Ye Zhu 's palm to reassure him , then stood up and walked over .

It was rare that Bo Yezhu didn't receive the signal from the real person . He was so anxious that he was about to smoke . Looking at the real person standing opposite the Flame Pillar with a wooden sword in his hand , he felt for the first time that it might not be a good idea to slack off .

" My name is Zhenren . " Zhenren held the wooden sword , making no effort to lift it . He said calmly , " I 'm not very good with the sword . "

" However , I can handle your sword skills . " The corners of the real person's lips curled up slightly .

Rengoku Kyojuro raised his eyebrows : " Is that so ! "

He looked at the blue -haired young man who was standing in a relaxed posture . He had a pair of gray-blue eyes that were different from ordinary people , his breathing frequency was extremely even , and his whole body was full of flaws .

With the wooden sword raised , Rengoku Kyojuro raised his upper lip : " Okay , here I come ! "

The gold and red flashed by , and almost no one could see Rengoku Kyojuro 's movements . The next second , the sound of wooden swords colliding was heard .

Unlike the Sun Blade , the sound of the wooden sword making contact was crisp and light , a sound that was particularly loud in the suddenly quiet dojo .

The players under the Flame Pillar who were sitting on the side stared at the scene on the field .

The real person was still standing in the same posture , holding the wooden sword in one hand , and easily caught the blade that Rengoku Kyojuro chopped down .

Judging from the loud sound of wooden swords clashing , the force of Rengoku Kyojuro's sword was definitely no less than the force he used when he was sparring with other team members just now .

His blue hair fluttered from the impact , and his gray-blue eyes lifted up . Rengoku Kyojuro laughed heartily : " Not bad ! "

Immediately afterwards , several knife shadows followed one after another , and crisp and light sounds continued to ring out . The real person frowned , his hands moving non- stop , perfectly catching every attack from Rengoku Kyojuro .

Bo Ye Zhu was already stunned . Was Zhen Zhen so powerful ? She could actually take the attack of the Flame Pillar .

The other team members also watched the field with bated breath . Zhenren had no intention of counterattacking , and Rengoku Kyojuro 's attack did not allow him to take more than three steps .

They are simply not on the same level as those who were killed in one blow !

The swordsman next to Bo Ye Zhu opened his mouth wide : " Are you really swordsmen of my level ?! "

" What a terrifying reaction speed ! His own strength must be very strong , otherwise with the ever - increasing strength of Lord Flame Pillar , he should have moved away . " Another person could not hide his excitement .

Bo Yezhu whispered : " I , I don't know either ... " Zhenzhen can usually kill ghosts easily , but every time after the fight she looks listless and doesn't seem to be in good condition .

He remembered that he met a very powerful cannibal last year who could talk . He stood in the corner holding the Nichirin Sword and watched Zhenzhen fight the cannibal one - on - one , although the cannibal was quickly subdued by Zhenzhen .

Zhenzhen was weak for a long time after that incident . She said that fighting the ghost had consumed a lot of energy and she needed to rest .

Then he felt at ease and skipped training with Zhenzhen .​​

And when they were under the command of Mizuzu , Giyu Tomioka ignored them at all , so they became even more aggressive and treated running as a walk .

Bo Ye Zhu has always believed that Zhen Zhen is really powerful , but Zhen Zhen 's power is based on side effects , and Zhen Zhen does n't like training just like him .

But now , as he looked at the field , he could only see Rengoku Kyojuro 's golden - red hair passing by like a shadow , while the real person just changed his position . He could only rely on the wooden sword raised by the real person to judge when Rengoku Kyojuro would launch an attack .

It was amazing ! Bo Yezhu opened his mouth like the other team members and felt dizzy .​

Rengoku Kyojuro stood opposite the real person again , his expression becoming more and more excited . He asked the real person : " Why don't you fight back ? " He was sure that this young man must have the power to fight back .

The real person was holding the wooden sword . In the previous fight with Rengoku Kyojuro , both of their wooden swords were damaged , and his was even more scarred .​

Hearing this , the blue- haired curse spirit shook his head : " I don't know how to use a sword . "

Rengoku Kyojuro thought about it for a moment , and thought he had figured it out . " So that 's how it is ! You 're better at fighting, right ? "

Real person : “ … … ”

In close combat , is he going to activate the Wuwei transformation ? Then he will be the first one to be hunted by the Demon Slayer Corps , right ?

He pointed at the wooden sword held by Rengoku Kyojuro , smiled slightly , and hinted : " Master Flame Pillar , your sword . "

Rengoku Kyojuro followed his movements , raised the wooden sword , loosened his palm , his expression suddenly changed , and his pupils trembled .

The Flame Pillar 's expression instantly turned serious . He immediately closed his palms again , and after only two seconds of thought , he put on his familiar smile again : " Very good ! Let 's end the training here for today ! Everyone can go and rest ! "

He was tall enough that no one could see the changes on the wooden sword in his palm .

Rengoku Kyojuro left in a hurry .​​

Off the court , Bo Yezhu went from confusion to shock , and from shock to heartache .

He only knew that Zhenren was not a human being , but he never expected that during the three years when he was slacking off with Zhenren , he was the only one who was slacking off seriously , while Zhenzhen had made great progress behind his back .

When the real person returned the wooden sword to the other person and walked in front of Bo Ye Zhu , Bo Ye Zhu was still immersed in his own world . Although he looked serious on the surface , judging from the real person 's familiarity with him , Bo Ye Zhu had already started to imagine .

Shaking his head secretly , the real person pulled Urobe Nagisa over , and the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps came over and asked him enthusiastically how he trained .

The real person only said that he trained at the water column .

When they heard it was a water column , the surrounding team members fell silent . While everyone was silent , Zhenren smiled and waved his hand , pulling away Bo Yezhu , who was brainstorming on his own .

Nagisa Usuga has begun to recall the time when she and Masato were training with the Demon Slayer Corps for the first time , wondering what went wrong .

He was sure that Zhenzhen was slacking off with him !​​

He's going to make a scene !

After walking a distance , Bo Ye Zhu came to his senses and turned to ask Zhenren : " What did you do to the Flame Pillar ? He looked very nervous . "

Although the change only lasted for one or two seconds , many people saw it , not to mention Bo Yezhu who was staring at the field without blinking .

The real person walked beside him , and the two of them walked around the perimeter of the building . When he heard Bo Yezhu 's question , the real person told him without hesitation : " I turned his wooden scabbard into iron . "

" Ah ? How did you do that ? " Bo Ye Zhu looked puzzled .

The real person spread his hands and said , " This is my ability . "

" Why didn't you say that ? " Bo Yezhu narrowed his eyes , looking very angry .

Meeting Bo Ye Zhu 's gaze , the real person's aura immediately waned . He touched the tip of his nose and said , " I thought you could see it , but the change is only temporary . If you get too far away from me , I wo n't be able to control it . "

The Zhenren 's Wuwei transformation does not include this kind of ability to change through the air , and besides, the wooden sword does not have a soul at all .

But that's why people say that Zhenren 's learning ability is so terrifying . He has been wandering among humans for a long time , and the amount of cursed power he has absorbed is extremely terrifying .

It is equivalent to giving all the negative emotions of mankind to him alone .

When he was bored , he would study some other techniques .

He did n't quite understand the principle behind the technique , but he discovered one thing : he could transform the ogre into a cursed spirit .

Ogres that transform into cursed spirits have a chance to develop spells , just like drawing cards in a game , but the probability is very low .

The real person transformed and swallowed the cannibal evil spirit that developed the technique again without any action , and then he could use the technique , although the effect was generally not ideal .

After all, the level of the ogres he encountered was very low .

The real person did tell Bo Yezhu about his technique - inaction transformation , but Bo Yezhu had forgotten it long ago .​

Bo Yezhu went from angry to suspicious , then gradually felt guilty . After thinking about it , he said confidently , " I was n't conscious at that time . How can you expect me to remember ? I didn't even understand it . "

The real person shook his hand and said , " I 'll show you next time we go on a mission . "

Bo Ye Zhu wanted to say something , but Zhenren stopped . He turned around and saw two white- haired girls in kimonos standing in front of them , looking at them .

The one on the left smiled and said , " My Lord , please meet with Mr. Bo Ye and Mr. Zhenren . "
