But given Ryosuke's talent, it's impossible for him to learn Flame Breathing on his own.
Even with the system, he didn't have any extra lifespan points to add.
Trying to do too much at once will only lead to failure. For Ryosuke, the most cost-effective approach is to stick to one path and go all the way.
My wife Zenitsu is an expert in one area, reaching the pinnacle of skill.
When the time comes, I'll max out all the other moves of Lei Hu, wouldn't that be even more awesome!
"Lord Flame Pillar, I will advance to become a Pillar through my own strength. Please leave the position of successor to someone else in the Demon Slayer Corps."
"Hahaha, you're quite an interesting kid! Calm and composed, much better than my son at home!"
Makijuro's thoughts gradually went astray, and he came to believe that Ryosuke was the kind of person who was single-mindedly focused on killing demons and cared deeply for his comrades.
What a righteous person!
Ryosuke was naturally unaware of Makijuro's thoughts.
He could only feel the other person's gaze growing increasingly intense...
This immediately put Liang Jie, who had lived in Sichuan in his previous life, on high alert!
As the saying goes, prejudice in people's hearts is like a Sichuan province.
The perverted Nantong is relentlessly chasing from behind—a beast in the shadows is wildly flashing OK signs!
Having seen and experienced so much, Ryosuke inevitably developed a sense of wariness towards the men around him.
You have a wife and kids!
Could you please stop giving me that look?
The Demon Slayer Corps doesn't allow stealth rules!
Makijuro, without any sense of boundaries, stepped forward and put his arm around Ryosuke's shoulder.
"Kid! I really like you!"
Ryosuke: o_0?
Ryosuke quickly stepped back, bowed to him, and said goodbye.
"Lord Flame Pillar! I... I have some personal matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"
Makijuro's hand froze in mid-air, and before he could even utter a word, Ryosuke activated Thunderclap and fled!
Makijuro scratched his head and sighed with some regret.
"I was thinking of inviting this kid to my house for a visit."
Chapter 12 Oh, married women!
The morning light in Asakusa, carrying the scent of cooking fires, dispelled Ryosuke's fatigue from a night of frantic running.
"Boss, a bowl of noodles!"
Ryosuke sat down at the stall, still feeling lingering fear.
Who would have known the fear he had in his past life living in Sichuan, despite being a straight man with a strong sense of justice!
Fasting should be used properly for pooping, you bastard!
After a quick meal, Ryosuke started strolling around the streets.
It must be said that Asakusa is indeed much more prosperous than those remote towns.
Street vendors lined up side by side, their shouts and the jingling of rickshaw drivers' bells mingling with the aroma of rice cakes and fried tempura, filling the air with their voices and smells.
Ryosuke asked several pharmacies and clinics, but the responses he received were either blank shakes of the head or wary glances at him. There was absolutely no information about Tamayo.
"Tsk, like finding a needle in a haystack."
Ryosuke smacked his lips.
Tamayo was able to hide for hundreds of years under the noses of Muzan and so many demons, not only because of Yushiro's Blood Demon Art, but also because she was incredibly cunning.
It's not easy to find one.
Ryosuke sighed, and suddenly, a simple and straightforward idea popped into his head!
Since we can't find her, let her come to us herself.
For the next half day, a strange smell of illness drifted through the bustling streets and alleys of Asakusa.
He was a young man from out of town seeking medical treatment. He would sigh and complain to anyone he met, and occasionally he would whisper his grievances to a friendly street vendor.
"Alas, my elder brother has somehow attracted some evil spirits. Whenever he gets injured, his wounds heal on their own, and he can even go out and walk around during the day, looking no different from a normal person, except..."
He hesitated, his face contorted with pain.
"Just what?"
The young man lowered his voice even further: "But we can't live without human blood! If we don't drink it for a few days, we go berserk and suffer terribly."
"I took him to see many famous doctors, but they were all helpless, only saying it was a strange disease of soul separation from ancient books... If there is a master who can cure it, we are willing to give back even if it means going bankrupt!"
The news initially circulated only in a small circle, but it quickly spread with a touch of curiosity, thanks to the embellishment of busybodies.
Some people scoffed at it, dismissing it as nonsense.
Some people are mysterious, saying that this is because they encountered the evil spirit of the Blood Demon.
Some even secretly advised the outsider to try his luck at a remote shrine.
With his superb acting skills, Ryosuke moved repeatedly through several blocks, spreading the bait evenly.
He silently made his plans.
With Tamayo's hatred for Muzan and her obsession with being a healer.
This can overcome the ghostly rumors that sunlight only requires drinking blood, and it will surely make her take the bait!
At the same time, Ryosuke also realized a problem.
Yushiro is a demon transformed from Tamayo, and he is not under the control of the scoundrel Muzan.
If I were to start getting the Blue Spider Lily from Tanko's family right now, and then have Tamayo turn me into a demon...
Wouldn't that mean I'd become a JoJo-level creature like Kars before the boss even gets there?!
With unlimited lifespan and unlimited stat points from the system, I no longer have to live a frugal life!
Does that mean I'm invincible because of my thinness?!
Ryosuke is so handsome, the system has poured cold water on him.
[Hey dog host, wake up! Stop dreaming!]
"Huh? What? You have a rule that prevents me from becoming a ghost?" Ryosuke raised an eyebrow.
No, but I hope you'll use your brain and think about it carefully.
"Damn system! You son of a bitch..."
Ryosuke hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening.
It is true that Yushiro is a demon transformed from Tamayo, and he also possesses Blood Demon Art, making him uncontrollable by Muzan.
But there's a fatal flaw in this!
That's time and probability!
Tamayo met Yushiro about two hundred years ago.
In the span of more than two hundred years, Zhu Shi treated countless patients.
Yushiro was by no means the only one with cancer who didn't want to die.
But in the end, only Yushiro and Chachamaru successfully became demons.
For Muzan, turning people into demons is as easy as lifting a finger.
However, Tamayo modified her body in order to break free from Muzan's control.
The concentration of Muzan's blood in her body must be very low.
The time required to transform a ghost into a human is also exceptionally long.
Moreover, the stronger a person is, the longer it takes for them to transform into a demon, and they are using Muzan's blood.
Needless to say, Tamayo's is even more so.
If it's this difficult for an ordinary person like Yushiro, let alone someone like myself who knows breathing techniques.
Not only is the success rate low, but it also takes an exceptionally long time.
Hmm~ Not too stupid~
The system yawned.
[If it weren't for the patch provided by the author, Koyoharu Gotouge, before the final battle, after Tamayo and Kagaya cooperated, setting aside their values and beliefs, there would have been a major plot hole where Tamayo turned all the Pillars into Muzan.]
[This way, no one will die, and after the battle, Yushiro can use a potion to turn them back into humans.]
Ryosuke scoffed, "You damn system actually read the original work?"
[You dog host, do you think I got the name "Demon Slayer" from?! I'm a die-hard fan!]
Ryosuke rolled his eyes.
It seems there's no shortcut.
The only thing to do is to train diligently, slay demons, and develop your character.
As evening approached, twilight descended.
Just as Ryosuke sat down at a noodle stall, a boy with blue hair and a sour face appeared at the table.
"I heard you're looking for a doctor who can cure strange illnesses?" Yushiro's voice was flat, revealing no emotion.
You can’t laugh now!
Ryosuke controlled his emotions and spoke with some agitation.
"Do you have connections?"
