As expected of my Goddess of Luck, she truly delivers.
The scene continues; ten meteors of various colors fall, and eventually, ten character cards appear.
There is one gold, two blue, three green, and four white.
The character cards are unveiled one by one, starting from the lowest tier. White is the lowest level, essentially cannon fodder—unlucky individuals in anime who flash by and die without anyone remembering their names.
Above white is green, one level higher, still cannon fodder.
Above green is blue, which belongs to the minor elite level. For example, the Chunin he initially drew might also be a character without any lines, but at least has some strength.
Above blue is purple, which is already quite good. In terms of Naruto, it should be the Jonin level. In One Piece, it would be at least a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million or one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Above purple is the golden legend.
In Naruto, that's above Kage level. In One Piece, it's the Three Admirals, the Four Emperors. In Bleach, it's Captain level.
Soon, the last golden card was revealed.
Qi Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes: "It's actually him!"
On the character card, a man dressed as a samurai, wearing a red haori, with long dark red hair tied in a high ponytail, red irises, and paper earrings with a red sun motif hanging from his ears. Most strikingly, there was also a strange patterned mark on his forehead. He held a red longsword, and just standing there, he exuded a terrifying sense of oppression.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
The absolute ceiling in the Demon Slayer anime.
Qi Yan had watched many anime, and there were many powerful characters, but there were always those with similar or comparable strength to each other.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi is different; he is the absolute ceiling. In the anime world, whenever the 'ceiling' is mentioned, he is the first character that comes to mind.
From birth, he possessed unparalleled talent, creating Sun Breathing. The five basic breathing styles that were later passed down were merely crude imitations. Even with numerous geniuses improving various breathing styles and creating their own, they couldn't even come close, let alone surpass him.
The strongest boss in Demon Slayer, Muzan Kibutsuji, was instantly killed by Tsugikuni Yoriichi in one encounter. He barely escaped by self-destructing and never dared to show his face while Tsugikuni Yoriichi was alive, only venturing out after his death.
In the anime's grand finale, all members of the Demon Slayer Corps siege Muzan, using every trick they had, but still suffered heavy casualties. It was only the sunlight that ultimately killed Muzan.
Qi Yan had only one evaluation for Tsugikuni Yoriichi: he was a mortal who slayed gods.
Compared to powerhouses in other anime who can easily destroy an island or a country, Tsugikuni Yoriichi clearly doesn't have that kind of power. However, if you truly stood face-to-face with Tsugikuni Yoriichi, even a god would have to be on high alert.
You might be able to destroy the world, but I can kill you.
Qi Yan lightly tapped his finger, recovering all characters except Ulquiorra Cifer and Tsugikuni Yoriichi. To prevent accidentally recovering the gold, he carefully checked twice. If he recovered the golden legend, he would regret it for a lifetime.
"Are you sure you want to recover all selected characters?"
"Confirm!"
"Ding! Recovery successful! Host's magic power increased by ☆!"
"System, these are two blue elites! Why is it still only half a star increase in magic power?! Are you taking kickbacks?!"
"The higher the magic power star level, the greater the difficulty of advancement. Everything is calculated accordingly. If the Host wishes to increase more magic power, he may recover characters of higher quality."
"You're ruthless!"
The system still gave such a bureaucratic answer. He would be crazy to recover a gold character.
Qi Yan opened his personal panel.
"Host: Qi Yan"
"Age: 18"
"Race: Human"
"Magic Power: ★★"
"Magic: Take Over Magic"
"Character Cards: Ulquiorra Cifer (Gold), Tsugikuni Yoriichi (Gold)"
"Full Take Over! Tsugikuni Yoriichi!!"
Qi Yan activated his Take Over Magic, and his hair began to grow rapidly. His clothes also started to change. In a short while, Qi Yan transformed into Tsugikuni Yoriichi's appearance. Except for his face, which remained his own, there was no significant difference between him and Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi's memories also surfaced in Qi Yan's mind. From birth, Tsugikuni Yoriichi was different; the world in his eyes was not the same as others. He could use the Transparent World, where people appeared transparent to him. He could see the rise and fall of an opponent's heart and lungs, the flow of blood vessels, and the contraction of muscles. He could also understand his own muscle contractions more clearly, allowing him to easily predict an opponent's movements, and significantly increasing his attack and evasion speed.
The first time he touched a sword, he defeated a long-trained swordsman. Later, he created Sun Breathing. After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, he taught the breathing style, enabling the Demon Slayer Corps to possess the ability to contend with demons.
Upon encountering Muzan Kibutsuji, he severely wounded him with one strike, forcing Muzan Kibutsuji to self-destruct and flee.
Finally, he met his older brother, Kokushibo, who later became Kokushibo. Ultimately, due to familial affection, he held back, and after delivering one final sword strike, he died.
"Hoo~~~~!!"
After watching Tsugikuni Yoriichi's memories, Qi Yan took a deep breath, but his heart still couldn't stop trembling with shock.
He found that the anime was too conservative; the real Tsugikuni Yoriichi was much stronger than what was shown in the anime.
This reminded Qi Yan of a saying:
Those who don't know swordsmanship see him as a frog in a well gazing at the moon in the sky. Those who know swordsmanship see him as an ant observing the clear sky.
Perhaps you are a once-in-a-million genius, but genius is merely the threshold to see him.
Qi Yan began to use Sun Breathing.
A powerful force instantly surged within his body. This wasn't an energy-based power, but rather one derived from physical attributes. He felt his physical attributes significantly improving, and at the same time, his magic power was rapidly depleting.
After a short while, Qi Yan released his transformation and returned to his original appearance.
"Whew!"
A strong sense of disparity arose in Qi Yan's heart.
It felt like going from a super genius to an idiot.
His own talent was simply too far behind Tsugikuni Yoriichi's.
Just then, his body instinctively began to use Sun Breathing.
Inhale~~! Exhale~~!
As he used Sun Breathing, Qi Yan suddenly felt his body filled with powerful strength.
Qi Yan was stunned. He had already exited Tsugikuni Yoriichi's transformation state, so why could he still use the breathing style?
When in doubt, ask the system.
"System, why can I still use the breathing style now?"
