ALL NOVEL Chapter 13: Chapter 14: Finally Found You, Hand Demon
"As expected, the scent of wisteria fades beyond the mountainside. This leaves the demons with a chance to survive in these parts."
Feng Yu walked deeper toward the mountainside.
"With my current strength… the Hand Demon shouldn't be much of a threat to me…"
"Once I rack up enough Sword strikes, I'll learn a martial art technique to improve my combat awareness…"
He had been walking for quite a while, yet he hadn't encountered a single demon.
"What's going on? Not even a single demon has shown up so far. Am I not enticing enough, or has something unexpected happened?"
"No matter… if you won't come to me, I'll just lure you over…"
Saying that, he lightly slashed his own arm with his Sword, and the air was immediately filled with the metallic tang of blood.
"This should do it. These demons have gone so long without tasting blood or flesh—my blood should be as irresistible to them as opium…"
Since fusing with his ageless constitution, Feng Yu had noticed a significant transformation in every cell and drop of blood in his body.
He had even asked Sakonji Urokodaki whether he possessed rare blood, but Urokodaki had shaken his head, saying it was something else entirely.
Sure enough, soon after Feng Yu made the cut, the area around him began to stir.
It wasn't just one demon—it was an entire group.
"Get lost! I saw him first…"
"He's mine!"
"I'll eat him!"
"If I eat him, I'm sure I can escape from here…"
The pack of demons surrounded Feng Yu greedily, their unrestrained malice fixed upon him. Some of them were even drooling.
"One, two, three…"
"Eleven in total so far? Not bad."
Feng Yu spoke without any trace of emotion.
"Haha, human, just obediently crawl into my stomach!"
One of the demons lunged at Feng Yu as it spoke, but the others shouted in outrage.
"Damn it! That's my prey—get lost!"
"You're the one who should get lost—he's mine!"
Feng Yu watched as a few demons charged at him, while others were already tearing into one another in a frenzy.
Drawing his Nichirin Sword, Feng Yu took a deep breath.
"Total Concentration: Water Breathing, Third Form—Flowing Dance."
Feng Yu's movements became fluid, like water weaving through the attacking demons.
"Demon slain +1. Sword strike count +50,000."
"Demon slain +1. Sword strike count +50,000."
"Demon slain +1. Sword strike count +50,000."
A series of system notifications echoed in his mind as the demons' heads were sliced off before they even had a chance to react, turning to ash in an instant.
"Not bad. I just earned 300,000 Sword strikes in one go. Now, all that's left is…"
Feng Yu's gaze shifted toward the remaining demons, his eyes filled with a cold focus—he saw only more Sword strikes waiting to be earned.
"Let's finish this in one go."
"Total Concentration: Water Breathing, Eighth Form—Waterfall Basin."
A surging wave of blue patterns emerged from the tip of his Sword, crashing toward the remaining demons.
"Damn it! This human is too strong—let's team up and take him down!"
The demons roared and charged at Feng Yu together.
But how could they possibly be a match for him? In the blink of an eye, every single one was reduced to ashes, adding another 250,000 Sword strikes to his total.
With the previous 100,000 strikes he had accumulated, Feng Yu now had over 650,000 Sword strikes.
"As I thought, hunting demons is the easiest way to earn Sword strikes…"
"My martial arts and Sword techniques are already at their peak and can't be improved further. However, my Water Breathing technique is only at the minor mastery level—it'll likely take 1,000,000 Sword strikes to reach peak mastery."

"The Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps likely surpass peak mastery in their breathing techniques, and their physical capabilities are far beyond mine…"
"I'll aim to push my Water Breathing to peak mastery after this trial—or, if I have enough Sword strikes, awaken my unique Light Breathing technique…"
After cleaning the blood off his Sword, Feng Yu moved on to another area. Demons were territorial, and the ones in this area were likely the ones he had just defeated.
He also wanted to find the Hand Demon quickly and finish the job.
Three days passed, with Feng Yu using the same strategy of luring demons and then killing them. His Sword strike count had reached 1,250,000.
Sure enough, when his total strikes reached 1,000,000, the option to upgrade his Water Breathing technique appeared.
Feng Yu didn't hesitate and immediately upgraded it.
After the upgrade, Feng Yu's understanding of Water Breathing deepened significantly. His entire demeanor changed—his presence became restrained yet sharply honed.
"Now I have 250,000 Sword strikes left. Aside from using them for lotteries, they're of no other use unless I earn more…"
He slowly shook off the demon blood from his Sword.
"I wonder where that Hand Demon is hiding…"
After a short rest to recover his strength, Feng Yu continued deeper into the mountain.
The further he went, the more remnants of trial participants he found—discarded clothes and Nichirin Swords left behind after they'd been devoured by demons.
"You shouldn't have ventured so far if you weren't strong enough…"
"Rest assured, I'll avenge you."
Though Feng Yu felt a faint pang of regret for their deaths, he knew this also meant stronger demons—and the Hand Demon—were ahead.
As expected, deeper into the forest, Feng Yu spotted someone desperately fleeing as though they were being chased by a nightmare.
"Why is such a monster here?!"
"Someone save me—please, anyone, save me!"
"This is supposed to be a trial. Why is there such a terrifying monster?!"
The fleeing person tripped and fell to the ground, his eyes wide with fear. His face turned deathly pale, and he sat there, too exhausted to move.
"I'm going to die… Just like the others… Killed by that monster…"
Watching the person's frantic state, Feng Yu couldn't help but smile faintly.
"Finally, I've found you…"
"Hand Demon."
