Chapter 112 Acquired Markings? Even Dogs Don’t Use That.

"Can we take the initiative to enter Infinite City?"

Yanzhu asked, full of energy.

Lu Li shook his head, "Unless Wuhan or the person who controls that city takes the initiative to open the door, we won't be able to get in, and it will be difficult to find us."

He knew that Infinite City was created based on the castle tower of the Edo period. In the original work, Snake Pillar and Wind Pillar had encountered a large number of ghosts there, and they had once seen the interior of Infinite City.

But the Infinite City can keep moving under the control of Naruko, and can open doors all over the country. The most common method used by Muzan to summon the Twelve Ghost Moons is to open the door with Naruko and get them to Infinite City.

After the meeting, as soon as the small doors are opened, wherever the Twelve Ghost Moons were originally, they will return to the place where they were before. It is very magical.

To be honest, this kind of space ability seems to be beyond the difficulty of this world in Lu Li's opinion, but the reality is that Wuxian has such a convenient city, and they must find a way to crack it.

"So, we might be able to lure the snake out of its hole."

Snake Pillar analyzed.

"Need bait?"

The Butterfly Ninja thought, "Wumei should also want to kill Zhu. If we are alone outside, will he open the gate of Infinite City and release ghosts to surround and kill us?"

Most of the time, Zhu's whereabouts are relatively secretive. Only the top management of the Demon Slayer System will know his movements. In addition, ghosts are restricted by sunlight and cannot collect intelligence during the day. Therefore, unless Zhu takes the initiative to come to the door, ghosts want to find Zhu specifically. It's more difficult.

But if they take the initiative to expose their identity and whereabouts, they will probably be able to attract attention.

"It's not that easy. With all due respect, among the people present, except for Mr. Wei Mingyu, everyone else is out now. If their whereabouts are exposed, they will die."

Lu Li said unceremoniously, "If you want to kill everyone present, the remaining top four can be done. Wuxian doesn't need the infinite city at all."

What he said was not nonsense. Even considering that Zhu might burst into patterns during the battle, in a one-on-one fight, except for Yan Zhu, no one else could even defeat the fourth string.

What's more, there are many more powerful explorers in the Wuxian camp now, and they will not let Shang Si act alone.

"You guys are too arrogant, aren't you!?"

Feng Zhu, who was originally dissatisfied with Lu Li's previous behavior, stood up with an angry look on his face, "I thought you were the only one who could kill Shang Xian..."

Before he could say "?", he paused.

Because along with the raging wind, Lu Li's hand was already placed on the back of his neck in a knife-like gesture. Lu Li was standing behind him, but he didn't even see how Lu Li ran over.

"If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead."

Lu Li took back his hand and said calmly, "I grew up listening to the legend of Zhu, but in reality, most of you are too weak."

Feng Zhu only came back to his senses at this time. After just a moment of 'confrontation', his back was already soaked. At this time, when he looked at Lu Li again, there was a little more awe in his eyes.

Originally, in terms of strength, he was not convinced by anyone except Rock Pillar, but today he saw another humanoid monster. If nothing else, its speed was far higher than that of his Wind Pillar.

"I believe everyone has understood that this is the fact."

Lu Li walked to the side and stood still, "I can easily kill everyone present except Mr. Mingmingyu, but even for me, it is not that easy to kill the upper string. The ghosts one, two, three and four will only be better than me." The two I killed earlier were stronger."

"Mingzhu, what exactly do you want to say? Is it just to show your strength and show our weakness?"

Snake Pillar's voice was low, but no emotion or anger could be heard.

Under the gaze of many pillars, Lu Li nodded calmly, "That's it. This is the premise. Only when everyone understands this can I continue."

Everyone would feel uncomfortable being pointed at the nose and called weak, but the pillars are not ordinary people and have a good mentality. The strength of their strength is not what they care about most. They all have the heart to kill ghosts and save the world.

Therefore, they did not interrupt and waited for Lu Li to continue.

"The next thing I want to talk about is today's third topic, which is also the conclusion reached after my Lord and I discussed it."

Lu Li said, "In the next two months, all pillars will stop ghost hunting operations and conduct intensive training."

He arrived at the lord's mansion last night and had a long talk with the lord, explaining the importance of Miss Zhushi.

As for the current situation, he could easily explain it to his lord. The other party is a smart man. As long as the lord understands the power of Shangxian and the fact that there is no misfortune to expand, the lord can understand the current 'offensive and defensive situation.' .

Zhu is no longer the one who hunts ghosts, but becomes the one hunted by the twelve ghost moons.

When the other party has the support of a strong intelligence system, Zhu Zai's random actions are undoubtedly an act of "giving away".

Therefore, after some communication, they decided that except Lu Li and Yan Zhu, all other pillars should undergo training.

Well, this is just a nice way of saying it. In fact, the main purpose is to protect them from being hunted before the decisive battle.

Of course, it would be best to improve your strength during the training process, and you will be more confident in the subsequent decisive battle.

As for external actions, they have not completely stopped. In addition to being responsible for teaching sparring with other pillars, Lu Li and Yan Zhu will also go out to deal with ghosts that are more harmful depending on the situation.

"Special training, it sounds really exciting!"

The Flame Pillar said with full energy, "We will definitely become stronger, so we can protect more people in the future!"

Lu Li nodded, "The Lord will arrange a hidden place for us to train, and the Demon Slayer Corps will operate as usual during this period. The powerful demons will be handled by me and the Rock Pillar."

"Operate as usual? The other members of the Demon Slayer Corps will not participate in the special training?"

The Snake Pillar asked in confusion.

"Each pillar can select a few subordinates or stepsons that he likes to participate in the training, and the others will go out to perform tasks as usual. This kind of training is useless if there are too many people."

Lu Li said that in fact, the Demon Slayer Corps also conducted full-staff training before the decisive battle in the original book, but Lu Li felt that it was too extreme and meaningless.

Most of the Demon Slayer Corps are just ordinary people without talent. Even if they receive high-intensity elite training, their strength will not be improved. It is better to let them go out to perform tasks normally.

As for the danger, it is precisely because of their status as ordinary soldiers that they are relatively safer. A few hundred people scattered across the country are small targets, and explorers will not deliberately hunt down these ordinary soldiers.

Ordinary team members can also kill weak ghosts outside and protect the people.

In this land, there are few ghosts and ghost slayers, so although the pillars are powerful, their functions most of the time are no different from those of ordinary ghost slayers. They all hear the news and rush to a place to kill ghosts.

It's just that some ghosts can't be beaten by ordinary soldiers, but the pillars can.

"So that's it. It's indeed a reasonable decision, but without us to carry out the mission, there will definitely be more people who will be killed by evil ghosts. It's really pitiful."

The Rock Pillar said with tears in his eyes, agreeing with this plan.

"Training is fine, but this still can't solve the problem of Muzan. How can we enter the Infinite City?"

The Snake Pillar expressed his doubts.

"Use the bait you mentioned before."

Lu Li replied, "It can't be a free bait. It needs a heavier bait, and it's better to have the ability to counterattack, delay time, and try to let all the pillars enter the Infinite City."

"It sounds like we are not qualified to be bait."

The Wind Pillar said, with resentment on his face.

Lu Li nodded, "Considering mobility, I am the most suitable person to be the bait at the moment."

In fact, he and the lord discussed about the bait and came up with two plans. The plan of using him as the bait was not very reliable.

Because even if he was surrounded and killed while going out, Muzan might not open the Infinite City. Even if he opened it, with the characteristics of the Infinite City, Muzan might pull himself in in an instant, and he could not let other pillars enter the Infinite City with him.

So the best bait must be more heavyweight, so heavy that Muzan would personally take action, that is, the lord would be the bait.

Once Muzan personally took action and was surrounded, he would be forced to open the door under pressure, and then everyone could go in and fight together.

Of course, because this plan would most likely kill the lord, most of the pillars would oppose it, so Lu Li did not say it, and he did not agree with this plan in his heart.

He has already entered this world and stood in the camp of the Demon Slayer Corps. If he still has to let the lord be the bait to win, it would be too watery.

So Lu Li has his own understanding of the bait plan.

However, for now, they can only make arrangements within the Demon Slayer Corps and let the pillars start training peacefully.

Lu Li did not expect the pillars to provide him with great help in the final battle, but he did not want to see these pillars who had tragic life experiences and dedicated their lives to the great cause of slaying demons die. They deserve a better ending.

After saving the Sound Pillar, he got another hidden task.

[Hidden Task: Perfect Ending]

Task Content: Try to keep the current nine pillars alive as much as possible after killing Muzan Kibutsuji. The reward will be determined by the number of pillars that survive.

Reward for 5 people surviving: 3 free attributes

Reward for 6 people surviving: 4 free attributes

Reward for 7 people surviving: 5 free attributes

Reward for 8 people surviving: 6 free attributes

Reward for all members surviving: 10 free attributes

Penalty for failure: None

The reward for this task is very generous. If you can achieve a perfect ending, you can get a full 10 free attributes, which is equivalent to the reward attributes of a world comprehensive settlement.

Therefore, Lu Li hoped that all nine pillars except himself would survive, both from a selfish and mission perspective.

"It's too dangerous for one person to be a bait. When you go out, I'll accompany you."

The Rock Pillar suggested. He agreed with Lu Li's mobility, but he didn't think that Lu Li could handle the situation of multiple upper rank attacks alone.

Moreover, he thought that if he was included, the bait target would be larger, and it was not certain that Muzan Kibutsuji would personally take action.

"I appreciate Mr. Beimingyu's kindness. Let's put it aside for now and talk about special training first."

Lu Li said with a smile, "Since I will propose special training to the lord, there must be a reliable plan that can enhance everyone's strength."

After hearing Lu Li's words, the pillars present were curious. Who doesn't want to become stronger? Especially at this critical moment of discovering Muzan, every pillar has a heart to kill Muzan.

As if sensing the eagerness of the many pillars, the lord spoke at this time, "Mr. Lu, don't keep them in suspense, show them."

Lu Li heard this and said no more. Under the surprised eyes of the crowd, his momentum soared, and magic patterns appeared on his body.

"What is this!?"

Yanzhu Purgatory Anjuro exclaimed in surprise. His family had a long history, and there were notes left by the first-generation breathing swordsmen at home. The strange lines on Lu Li's body reminded him of an ability mentioned in the book about the first-generation swordsmen. "Zebra!?"

The other pillars were attracted by Yanzhu's words and chewed on the word. It was obvious that most of them heard this word for the first time.

But no matter what kind of abilities Lu Li showed, they were very interested, because everyone present felt that this was not a breathing method, but some other secret technique. After using it, his physical strength increased rapidly!

If they can master this technique and combine it with the breathing method, their strength will increase exponentially!

"Because I have been unable to master the breathing method for many years, I have also thought of other ways to fight ghosts, so I developed this secret technique that can unleash the human body's potential to the greatest extent."

Lu Li said, "After using this secret technique, the human body's strength, speed, dynamic vision, etc. will be greatly improved. It is called Ghosts and Gods. Are you interested in learning it?"

Stripes?

No dog can drive that thing.

He wants to teach ghosts and gods to Nine Pillars. This is a state that has far fewer side effects than Stripes, and is more controllable and can be entered at any time. In terms of strength improvement, it is by no means smaller than that of Stripes.

To put it simply, zebra is a technique that roughly overdraws the potential. The pillars that are opened the day after tomorrow are equivalent to using their own potential very roughly, so their life span will be greatly shortened. If used by swordsmen over 25 years old, it will lead to direct death. .

But ghosts and gods are different. Although the increase will be surprising depending on the individual's physique, its side effects are much smaller than that of stripes, and its increase in nerve reflex speed is not comparable to that of stripes.

Generally speaking, ghosts and gods are equivalent to stripes + the sense of a transparent world, which can not only increase strength, but also enhance eyesight and analytical power in battle.

As for whether you can learn Nine Pillars or not, the answer is yes.

Lu Li naturally has a very deep understanding of the secret techniques he created himself. I can't say that his teaching ability is very good, but he can explain the principles clearly. He once taught Lei An Armed Color Haki.

Kishin is easier to learn than Armed Haki. As geniuses, there is no reason why Nine Pillars can't learn it. Geniuses like Muichiro Tokitou, who took two months from picking up a sword to becoming a pillar, it is impossible to learn Kishin. Too simple.

Lu Li was fully confident that he would give the Demon Slayer Pillar a major configuration upgrade within two months. When the time comes for a decisive battle, the winning rate would be greatly improved.
