Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

However, although breathing techniques can introduce natural energy into the body, they do not provide a method for manipulating natural energy.

Only after activating a state similar to Sage Mode with his mark can he barely manage to make the sword react and transform into a Crimson Blade by relying on the natural energy that fills his entire body and focusing his mind.

This is why the power of other people's Crimson Blades is naturally far inferior to that of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the founder of the Breathing Technique who was born with a Crimson Blade.

However, the world does not have the concept of natural energy; it simply regards it as oxygen.

Therefore, Xia Yan skipped the principles and only explained the method.

After hearing how to use the Crimson Blade, all the other Pillars simultaneously looked down at their own Nichirin Blades.

Except for Shinobu Kocho...

After all, let's not even talk about the fact that her body couldn't withstand the cost of activating the markings.

Due to its unique characteristics, the Nichirin Blade is simply unable to withstand high-intensity impacts.

Her Nichirin Blade was less a blade and more a specially made key and syringe.

The scabbard is a small medicine dispensing station.

Its main function is to insert the blade into the sheath and then prepare targeted poisons according to different situations; it is a highly sophisticated instrument.

If, as Natsuhiko said, it were to collide violently with other Nichirin Blades, even if it didn't break on the spot, it would likely suffer slight deformation, making it impossible to prepare the poison.

In other words, of the three special abilities Xia Yan described, the first two completely ruled her out.

However, she herself was not too saddened by this.

Not being able to learn these two skills doesn't mean they won't be helpful for her future actions.

After all, if it's just injecting poison, it doesn't have to be done by her personally; she can just apply the prepared poison to the Nichirin Blades of the other Pillars.

Moreover, what the Crimson Blade can do, her poison can do as well, and even go further.

If she can't fight him, she can just wait until Muzan loses his ability to move, then she can go over and give him a good 'flogging'.

She believed that Xia Yan would definitely fulfill her little wish in time.

"Ahem, everyone, turn your attention to me." Unaware that Shinobu Kocho was already planning how to thoroughly dismember Muzan, Natsuhiko coughed twice. "Next comes the most important, and also the most difficult—"

"—A transparent world!"

"Hmm! Please speak!" Rengoku Kyojuro responded loudly, making him look like a paid shill to anyone who didn't know better.

Upon hearing the words "most difficult," all the pillars became even more serious.

"Let's talk about the effects first. After entering the transparent world, the user's ability to predict actions and dodge attacks will be greatly improved."

"The user's own muscle contractions can be perceived more quickly and clearly, and even clearly seen as the rise and fall of the opponent's lungs and the flow and contraction of blood vessels, thereby making the opponent's movements and weaknesses crystal clear!"

"In addition, after opening the Transparent World, one can completely conceal one's aura, making one undetectable by any means other than sight!"

"As for the method of mastering it... it's less of an ability and more of a state of mind..." Xia Yan stroked his chin, trying his best to organize his thoughts.

"The most basic condition is being able to adjust your breathing and movements to the most precise state, exerting the greatest power with the smallest movement. At that point, if you shut out all other unnecessary 'things' and concentrate fully on 'seeing,' the world will become transparent..."

"That's about it..."

Unlike skills like markings and crimson blades, which can be achieved through effort, the Transparent World is more like something mysterious and elusive in terms of its realm.

So even when Xia Yan explains it, it still sounds very abstract.

Chapter 428 Xia Yan: I'm Different From You

"Huh!? What do you mean by turning off everything else you don't need and focusing all your attention on watching it?!"

"No matter how you look at it, the human eye can't do that! You, give me more specific details!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa raised his questions again.

His tone wasn't very polite, or rather, it should be described as overly impatient.

However, this is understandable. After all, the feeling of a download stuck at 1% is completely different from one stuck at 99%.

Clearly, for the Demon Slayer Corps now, the process of eliminating demons has reached 99%!

The markings, the Crimson Blade, and the Transparent World that Xia Yan mentioned represent the final one percent!

Unable to comprehend the transparent world described by Xia Yan, it was like discovering that the last file was missing when you've downloaded 99% of the file, leaving Shinazugawa Sanemi feeling frustrated.

"There's nothing I can do," Xia Yan said, shrugging. "I've explained it in enough detail. The rest is up to you to figure out."

"Then how did you unlock the Transparent World?!" Shinazugawa Sanemi pressed on relentlessly.

"I just understood it naturally, if I had to put it in words—"

Xia Yan looked into his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, and uttered Tomioka Giyuu's famous line.

"I am different from you."

(?_?#)! ?

The sheer superiority in his words was palpable, and veins bulged on Shinazugawa Sanemi's face.

Rengoku Kyojuro also shouted, "That's right! Xia Yan is much stronger than us! The techniques he can easily master, we would probably have to work very hard to achieve!"

Although it's the truth, it sounds even more unpleasant.

"This is really annoying... Do they look down on us?!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa stood up, his bloodshot eyes glaring like copper bells, and his scarred face made him look particularly ferocious.

As a Pillar who succeeded Natsuhiko, he had never witnessed the sparring between Natsuhiko and Gyomei Himejima.

Because he was always unhappy with Xia Yan's practice of keeping ghosts at home, he never had any interaction with Xia Yan.

Although he knew that Xia Yan's strength must be above his own, given that he was able to slay an Upper Moon demon and was recognized as the strongest swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps, he still didn't have a concrete idea of ​​what that meant.

Simply put, they haven't experienced the harsh realities of society.

This time, however, before Xia Yan could even speak, someone stopped him.

"Calm down, Sanemi."

The deep, resonant voice of Gyomei Himejima suddenly rang out, startling all the Pillars, who turned their gazes in surprise.

It wasn't that I was surprised by his statement. As the elder brother of the Demon Slayer Corps, Gyomei Himejima wasn't like Giyu Tomioka, who was so quiet you wouldn't utter a word.

Speaking at a meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is perfectly normal.

But this time was different from usual.

Even when Himejima Gyomei is sitting there without uttering a sound, his massive size and aura draw attention like the statue of Niou in the main hall of a temple.

But just now, before he spoke, everyone subconsciously ignored his presence.

He startled me by speaking out suddenly.

But when they thought about the effect that Xia Yan had just described as a "transparent world," a guess arose in everyone's mind!

"It seems you've entered that world too, Xingming."

Looking at Himejima Gyomei, who seemed to be one with nature and not exist in the world, Xia Yan's lips curled up slightly.

"Ah, it truly is a very wondrous feeling, Amitabha..."

"I can clearly feel the pulse beating, the air filling my lungs, and the blood flowing through my blood vessels; it's all like a clear image."

Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together and shed tears.

His physique, which was already like a monster from birth, was honed to its limit through his daily hard work, and his breathing techniques and sword techniques reached a point where there was no room for further improvement.

Although he can't compare to himself, who's a cheat code, there's no doubt that Gyomei Himejima is currently the strongest human besides himself.

For him, the existence of the markings and the transparent world was not yet open, simply because he did not have the concept of it.

Or perhaps it should be said that he is too strong, and he has not encountered an opponent who can push him to the brink and make him eager to go further.

Therefore, after Xia Yan proposed the concept of the Transparent World, he directly entered this realm!

Even his markings were ready to be activated at any time, but due to his age, he knew he could only activate them once, so he saved them for the most crucial moment.

“Sanemi, Natsuhiko wasn’t joking. This truly is a ‘level’ that cannot be described in words.”

"Tsk, I know, sorry, I acted impulsively..."

Seeing that even the Stone Pillar Gyomei Himejima, whom he respected, said this, Sanemi Shinazugawa could only suppress his irritation and respectfully apologize to Natsuhiko.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki stood to the side with a smile on his face.

He treated each swordsman like his own child, and therefore knew the character of everyone present.

So even though Sanemi threw tantrums time and time again, he knew that the other party would never actually do anything.

"Well, in short, we'll be going through about two months of specialized training..." Xia Yan clapped his hands and gave a final summary: "There shouldn't be any objections, right?"

"Great! Shall we start training?"

Kyojuro Rengoku responded to the call in a loud voice, but then raised a question: "But we're all very busy! We simply can't spare two months to train!"

As a big fan of Xia Yan, he naturally wouldn't stand up and disagree.

In fact, what he was talking about was the biggest problem faced by all the pillars except for Xia Yan.

time.

Unlike Xia Yan, who has flexible working hours but voluntary overtime, the other pillars are genuinely busy.

As the highest management level of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Each pillar is responsible for a vast area of ​​territory, and they are also responsible for gathering information on demons and handling other tasks.

They have to squeeze out time to complete their daily training sessions, and if they were to take two months off for intensive training alone, the entire Demon Slayer Corps would probably be paralyzed by the third day.

“Ah, you can rest assured about that,” Kagaya Ubuyashiki said with a gentle smile. “The demons’ actions should be quiet for a while now.”

Chapter 429 Blue Spider Lily, *snap*, gone.

"……Um?"

Inside the Infinite City,

Muzan felt a strange connection sending him information and was slightly puzzled.
