Chapter 160 Final Selection
Chapter 160 Final Selection
"Ahahaha...you little devils, stretch out your necks and let your Wild Boar King chop them off..."
Inosuke Hashibira rushed into the entrance roaring, as if he was going to his own pig farm.
"Ms. Kanao, I'm going first!"
Tanjiro greeted Kanao beside him, then turned around and trotted into the entrance.
Kanao looked at Tanjiro's receding figure and waited for a while before setting off alone.
The young men, filled with different feelings, stepped into the entrance one by one, until the last one, who was hesitant at the entrance, as if he wanted to go in but was also afraid of something.
This person was none other than Feng Xiaodao’s junior fellow apprentice, Agatsuma Zenitsu.
Shanyi's hesitation at this moment immediately attracted Feng Xiaodao's attention. Feng Xiaodao frowned, shook his head and walked over.
Seeing this, the staff made way.
Zenitsu also noticed the strangeness of the staff, with doubts flashing in his eyes. Soon he saw Feng Xiaodao coming over, and he felt happy, as if he had found comfort.
“Brother! I…Ah!!…”
When Zenitsu saw Feng Xiaodao hadn't finished speaking yet, he saw Feng Xiaodao quickly swung his golden right foot, and the yellow-haired boy disappeared into the entrance as fast as a football.
"You insist on me making a move? Now, seal the entrance immediately. Anyone who leaves early will be considered to have failed the test!"
Feng Xiaodao patted the upper of his shoes, then turned to the staff member beside him and said, the staff member was stunned for a moment, he seemed to hear the boy call Feng Xiaodao "Senior Brother" just now?
It's really not easy to be Daozhu's junior apprentice!!!
Hui Liya Xiao Pao came over, took Feng Xiaodao's hand and asked: "Teacher, is that boy your junior fellow apprentice? How..."
"Why do you look so unlucky? Oh, don't take it too seriously. The old man also has his eyesight blurred. Although my junior brother has shortcomings, his strength should be okay. He just needs me to give him a push!"
Feng Xiaodao said with a smile, Hui Liya smiled awkwardly, "I thought that as a teacher's junior brother, he was also an earth-shaking figure!!"
Feng Xiaodao tapped Hui Liya's head and taught him, "So sometimes you shouldn't take it for granted. You can only draw conclusions after seeing and understanding it yourself. My junior brother is also a god. You will understand it later.
Okay, I won’t say any more. Tell the others to start taking action and keep an eye on those promising young men!”
After Tanjiro cautiously entered the entrance, he moved forward carefully. The howling sound of the boar-headed boy in the distance had faded away, and soon no one else could be seen in the darkness of the vast forest.
Tanjiro didn't dare to be careless. The night was the home turf of demons, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Only by staying up until dawn could he rest in peace. Seven days was neither short nor long, and he had to rely on himself for everything.
"Hey, hey, hey, go over there! I'm going to eat this!"
"Stop it, get out of here!"
The quarreling sounded endlessly and quickly reached Tanjiro's ears. Tanjiro moved his nose slightly, and the familiar smell made his heart tighten. He thought to himself:
"I've encountered two ghosts so soon. Can I really defeat them?"
"This is my prey!"
"Shut up... You're already a ghost, and you still talk about first come first served? Do you think you're still human?!"
Soon, two quarreling demons appeared in front of Tanjiro. Tanjiro tightly grasped the knife given to him by Urokodaki, staring at the two demons in front of him.
The two demons had sharp claws and sharp teeth, and their faces were hideous and ugly. They looked at each other and attacked Tanjiro at the same time.
"Whoever kills him first gets to eat first, isn't that enough?!"
"It's been a long time since I last tasted fresh human flesh!"
Tanjiro took a deep breath and concentrated on his breathing, quickly focusing his senses and allowing power to flow through his body.
At this moment, Tanjiro discovered that there was a line connecting two ghosts in his field of vision.
Water Breathing Type 4 - Wave of Strike!
Tanjiro swung his sword forward and launched multiple attacks like a tidal wave.
Boom!
There was the sound of two objects falling to the ground.
Tanjiro slowly put away his sword, "Is this... a success? I really defeated the demon alone. I really became stronger."
Turning around and looking at the two demon heads on the ground that were fighting for each other before, Tanjiro fixed his gaze and felt more confident: "The previous training was not in vain. I have mastered everything."
Watching the demon on the ground gradually turn into ashes, Tanjiro looked at the knife in his hand with emotion.
"After being chopped by the sword given by Urokodaki, there really was not even a scrap left. It's so powerful. Is this the Sun Blade? When can I have my own Sun Blade!!"
Suddenly there was a strange movement, and a black cat appeared where the two ghosts died, seemingly sucking something.
Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief, and his grip on the sword loosened a bit.
"Isn't this the cat that always stays on Mr. Xiaodao's shoulder? What is it doing? Is Mr. Xiaodao also nearby? ...
Never mind. They must be watching us secretly. It must be related to the top five in the assessment. I don’t know how they selected us.”
After the black cat finished sucking something, it disappeared into the darkness in a flash.
"I hope you can become a Buddha!" Tanjiro clasped his hands together and prayed towards the place where the demon's corpse was just now, then turned and left.
Not far away, a black cat jumped onto a man's shoulder and began to sniff the smell coming from afar.
"Teacher, is that boy someone we need attention for? He looks pretty good."
"Oh, you mean Tanjiro? He's a gentle and kind child, not bad, the future is worth looking forward to!!"
The man was Feng Xiaodao, and the one who asked the question was Hui Liya. Hui Liya listened thoughtfully, and then asked:
"Teacher, is it true that you said at the end that we would select five outstanding candidates who passed the assessment to join the action team?"
"real!"
"What are the assessment criteria?" Huiliya was also very curious. After all, it was a new thing after so many selections, and the teacher did not tell him in advance.
Feng Xiaodao smiled and said casually: "It's very simple. The first five boys who kill the ghost will be replaced in order if there is an accident later."
"Is it that simple?" Huiliya was a little surprised.
"Is it easy? It seems you still have a lot to learn!!" Feng Xiaodao shook his head and sighed.
When Hui Liya saw that Feng Xiaodao had a hidden meaning in his words, he immediately understood that his teacher's actions must have a deeper meaning. It was time to learn again, so he took the initiative to ask: "Please teach me, teacher!!"
Feng Xiaodao only said one sentence,
"Let me remind you that this rule is related to luck, strength, and opportunity! Think about it carefully and give me your answer before the end of the selection."
