Chapter 111 The Three-Year Period Has Arrived, and Tan Sekiro Is Out!

In the afternoon, Kanae returned to the Demon Slayer Headquarters with Shinobu and Kanaehu. As soon as she arrived at the headquarters, Kanae met with Ubuyashiki Yōya and told him about her trip.

"I unexpectedly encountered Kame. I didn't do a good job in the intelligence work this time. I'm very sorry, Kanae." Ubuyashiki Yoya closed his eyes and sincerely apologized to Kanae.

As the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps are like his own children. If the children of the Demon Slayer Corps suffered any loss, Yaoya would feel the most regretful.

Looking at Yaoya who was quite remorseful, Kanae quickly comforted: "My lord, this incident is not your fault, it is my own lack of strength."

"Kanae, you don't need to comfort me. The information on this mission was indeed my fault. It was a mistake to send you there without investigating it clearly. If Mr. Feng Kame hadn't asked me about your whereabouts, the consequences would have been disastrous."

"Okay, let's let this topic go for now. I have to thank Mr. Fukama after that. So, Kanae, what do you think of the strength of the winding ghost you met yesterday? How big is the gap between you and him?" Ubuyashiki Yoshi Zai asked Kanae calmly.

When the issue of strength was brought up, Kanae also looked disappointed. As the flower head of the Demon Slayer Squad, she not only failed to kill the mission target, but was also completely defeated by an unexpected ghost. She really felt unworthy of her lord's trust in her.

Taking a deep breath, Kanae slowly said: "My lord, I can't say anything more specific, but the only thing that is certain is that the strength of the winding ghost far exceeds the conventional pillar level."

"That's it...it seems that the pillar-level training proposed by the Heavenly Master is really important."

Kanae also nodded in approval. She planned to start special training immediately after reporting her work. When the master was not free, she would ask Mr. Feng Lian for training.

After reporting her work, Kanae prepared to go to Butterfly House. On the way, she met Mingyu Xingming.

"Kanae, I heard that you encountered Shang Xian Er yesterday, were you not injured?" Ming Yu Xingming asked with concern.

"Thank you, Mr. Xingming, for your concern. Because of Mr. Feng Lian's timely rescue, I was not injured. I'm just... feeling a little down..."

"Is it about strength?"

"Well... I think my strength is too weak, and I feel a little unworthy of the title of Pillar Level."

Ming Yu Xingming stretched out his thick hands and rubbed Kanae's head, "Don't be discouraged Kanae,

Your strength is definitely worthy of the title of pillar-level swordsman, but your strength is far beyond that of a regular pillar-level swordsman. "

Although Feng Lian comforted Kanae in this way, Kanae still felt a little disappointed. After all, these words always make her feel a little bit deceived.

"In the final analysis, my strength is still too low, and I still need to keep working hard. Becoming a pillar is just the beginning."

Mingyu Xingming nodded undeniably, "Yes, there is still a long way to go, but I firmly believe that we can definitely defeat Kibutsuji Muzan."

"Then let's work hard together, Mr. Xing Ming. I will also strive to become stronger, so that I won't hold you back!"

Looking at Kanae's retreating figure, Mingyu Xingming shook his head and sighed.

Kanae was too strict with herself. She didn't hold back at all, she just said that she met a monster that far surpassed Pillar's strength.

"Forget it, it's a good thing that Kanae's mentality has not suffered too much. The rest can be done step by step slowly." Mingyu Xingming lowered his head and muttered.

Time flies, and three years pass quietly. At a place called Tengxi Mountain, many young people gather here. Although these young men have very different costumes, they all have a samurai sword on their waist.

Two children who looked like porcelain dolls in purple kimonos walked up to these young people and announced in unison: "Everyone, welcome to this Demon Slayer selection event. We are the assessors of this selection."

"About the selection and assessment of the Demon Slayer Corps, your trainers must have told you. Here, I will explain the assessment matters in detail to you, so be sure to listen carefully."

"This mountain is called Fujisei Mountain, and it has always been an assessment place for the selection of members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Dozens of ghosts have been released into the mountain. Your assessment content is to survive in this Fujisei Mountain for seven days. After seven days, as long as you come here alive, Those who gather together will be deemed to have passed the assessment."

A young man with yellow hair raised his hand tremblingly and asked: "Well, if we are in danger, will someone come to save us?"

The two porcelain doll-like children replied expressionlessly: "Unfortunately, this is not allowed. Since you have chosen this path, you must be mentally prepared to lose your life."

Although the words are cruel, the reality is so cruel. Joining the Demon Slayer Corps means fighting evil ghosts and facing the threat of death at any time.

Among the team, a young man wearing a blue water-patterned costume and a fox mask took a deep breath. He was about to take an assessment. He needed to adjust his breathing rhythm as much as possible to calm himself down.

This deep-breathing young man is named Kamado Tanjiro. After three years of hard training, he successfully learned all the water breathing moves from his master Rintaki Sakonji.

With his master's blessing, he came to the Demon Slayer assessment site called Fujisei Mountain today to take part in the Demon Slayer entrance examination with a very low pass rate.

"Then the assessment will officially begin now. I wish you all good luck in martial arts!"

The young swordsmen stepped into Tengxi Mountain one after another and began their seven-day training.

Walking on the eerie mountain road, Tanjiro's nose trembled, and he could already smell the strong scent of ghosts. Sure enough, the talk about dozens of ghosts was no joke.

"I must survive these seven days and put in so much effort just to join the Demon Slayer Corps." Tanjiro secretly cheered himself up. Under the psychological influence of self-suggestion, Tanjiro's mentality was obviously much calmer.

It is not an easy task to spend seven days in the densely populated Tengxi Mountain, especially if you don't know the situation here clearly.

First of all, try to avoid fighting ghosts. The time limit is seven days, and you need to plan your physical strength reasonably.

Although there is no shortage of food in the mountains, it is still difficult to fill up. In addition, it is also very challenging to maintain a high level of concentration.

Just when Tanjiro was thinking quietly, an unexpected surprise occurred. A hungry evil ghost stuck out its tongue and pounced on the unsuspecting Tanjiro.

Just when the evil spirit thought he had succeeded, Tanjiro turned around and drew his sword, and cut off the evil spirit's neck with a graceful and picturesque "water-melted head cut".

After successfully killing an evil spirit, Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first evil spirit he had killed since his training.

"Huh... This ghost's strength is relatively average, and he performed pretty well."

Tanjiro silently gave a fair evaluation of his performance just now.

Tanjiro was not complacent because of his first victory. He was very aware of his own strength. Facing the crisis-ridden Fujirai Mountain, it was very necessary to maintain a good physical condition.

Most failures are often due to blind arrogance, and Tanjiro doesn't want to lose his life because of such a low-level mistake.

The assessment at Tengxi Mountain lasts for seven days, and first requires a safe hiding place. During Tanjiro's training, he was often thrown into the deep mountains and forests for training by Rentaki Sa.

Tanjiro soon discovered a suitable place to live. Just as he was about to investigate, a sharp scream pierced the silence in the mountain.

Tanjiro looked for the sound. The source of the sound sounded very close to him, probably not far away.

Without thinking too much, he sped towards the place where the scream came from. Such an action was truly worthy of his character.

"If you go faster, we must not allow the casualties to expand further." Tanjiro's eyes were full of sorrow, and he was quite anxious inside.
