"You reacted pretty quickly, but your attack power was weak. Every time you struck out with the sword, it was just your body's instinct that was reacting. When you struck out with the sword, your breathing didn't fully mobilize all of your body's functions."
During the confrontation, Urokodaki Sakonji pointed out Shin Arashi's shortcomings. As soon as he finished speaking, Urokodaki Sakonji took a breath, and then suddenly burst out with amazing momentum and strength. Shin Arashi's bamboo sword was cut off in an instant.
The broken edge of the white-feathered bamboo sword was unusually smooth, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.
Shin Arashi was a little absent-minded. After a short moment of distraction, he showed a faint smile, then clasped his hands together and thanked Urokodaki Sakonji: "Thank you for your guidance!"
In fact, Shin Arashi also understood why there was such a big gap between him and the old man. The most fundamental reason was that Shin Arashi had no knowledge of swordsmanship or knife skills at all. Therefore, when Shin Arashi faced Urokodaki Sakonji, he could only respond through his body's instincts.
"Shin Arashi, although you can control the water breathing freely, you have no real knowledge of swordsmanship. Maybe it is true as you said, you learned the water breathing through imitation. You are a genius," Urokodaki Sakonji praised Shin Arashi again.
Shin Arashi was not surprised that Urokodaki Sakonji could see that he was a novice in kendo. After all, he was an old hand and naturally had some good eyesight.
"——The next step in your training is to learn the way of the sword and comprehend it. Let's stop here for today! Go back to the house and rest!"
After explaining this to Shin Arashi, Urokodaki Sakonji looked at Tanjiro, who was standing at the door of the wooden house, and said to him: "Come with me, Tanjiro!"
After saying that, Urokodaki Sakonji turned around and walked away in one direction.
Tanjiro followed him belatedly. When passing by Shin Arashi, Tanjiro couldn't help but remind him: "Senior Shin, Nezuko is in your care!"
Shin Arashi nodded and didn't say much.
Shin Arashi returned to the wooden house and couldn't help but lie down on the empty seat next to Nezuko. He stretched lazily and sighed: "It seems that I have to live in this place for a long time!"
Shin Arashi, feeling somewhat bored, couldn't help but look at the sleeping Nezuko. The more Shin Arashi looked at Nezuko's fair skin, the more he wanted to touch it.
About half an hour later, Tanjiro and Urokodaki Sakonji returned to the cabin again.
"From now on, cooking will be left to you. Go kill the fish! This is also a kind of training for you." Urokodaki Sakonji said to Tanjiro.
"Yes, Master!" Tanjiro responded helplessly, then took the two big fish he had just caught and went to the stove to process them.
The title of "Master" by Tanjiro also reflects his acceptance and recognition of Urokodaki Sakonji, and Tanjiro also regarded himself as Urokodaki Sakonji's disciple.
Without saying much, Urokodaki Sakonji walked into the wooden house.
Then, he said to Shin Arashi, who was lying next to Nezuko: "No matter how you look at it, she is still a demon. Could it be that you still like her?"
Hearing Urokodaki Sakonji's teasing, Shin Arashi sat up suddenly, then smiled faintly and didn't say much.
And Urokodaki Sakonji didn't take his words seriously, and changed the subject: "Light up the fire; we'll boil the fish fillets today!"
In this way, Shin Arashi and Tanjiro, one was busy making a fire and setting up the iron pot, the other was busy preparing the fish. As for Urokodaki Sakonji, he sat aside and rested his mind.
