Chapter 95 Martial Artist at Max Level
That evening, Kanae Kochō personally delivered the spatial imprint to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and then, with the help of Kasugai Crow, quickly delivered it to each Pillar.
Afterwards, Aoki began his frenzied battles.
On the first day, he defeated every single Pillar in the Demon Slayer Corps.
However,
the difference in strength between the Pillars and him was too great; after each battle, he usually gained less than 5 experience points.
But even with all the Pillars combined, it was still a considerable income.
The second and third days were the same.
Aoki went door-to-door challenging them, and they couldn't refuse unless a Pillar had a truly special reason to ask for leave.
...
Uzui Tengen lay on the lawn, Hinatsuru earnestly massaging and relaxing his muscles.
Nearby, Makio and Suma were bickering.
The sun was slowly setting, and the crimson sunset draped the four of them in a red veil.
"What a wonderful life," Uzui Tengen said with a smile.
Hinatsuru asked, "Lord Tengen, will Mr. Aomura Kazuhiko come again today?"
Hearing this name, Tengen Uzui instantly showed a headache.
"Without a doubt, definitely!"
It's nominally a battle, but in his eyes, it's no different from getting beaten up.
Aomura Kazuhiko is too strong!
Getting beaten up is one thing, one or two days isn't a big deal, three or four days is bearable, but being beaten up at high intensity every day—even a Pillar couldn't withstand that.
For the past two days, his back and waist have been aching, as if he'd returned to his days of ninja training.
However, there are benefits too.
After a few days, he clearly felt that his strength, which he thought he had reached his limit, had improved slightly.
And those past doubts had long since vanished.
Whether Aomura Kazuhiko continues to grow stronger is irrelevant; his current strength is enough to crush the Demon Slayer Corps.
If Aomura Kazuhiko truly harbored ill intentions,
the Demon Slayer Corps would have been wiped out several times already.
"Life is so blissful!"
a voice rang out from the side, and Uzui Tengen jumped up.
Behind them, a tall, imposing young man with black hair and golden eyes had appeared out of nowhere.
Makio and Suma stopped their playful fight and bowed with Hinatsuru, saying, "Mr. Aomura Kazuhiko."
"Hello!" Aoki responded politely.
It's true what they say, the Sound Hashira in the original story was the real winner in life.
He had fulfilled his wish to "kill the Upper Moon," retired contentedly to the second line, had three beautiful wives by his side, and wasn't subject to the "twenty-five years old" age limit imposed by his Demon Slayer Mark.
His only loss was a severed arm.
Aoki looked at Uzui Tengen: "Ready?"
Uzui Tengen picked up his twin swords, spirited and full of fighting spirit: "Come on! Let's put on a magnificent battle!"
Five minutes later.
Uzui Tengen lay on the ground, groaning, his body covered in bruises.
Suma clung to his arm, looking pitiful. "Lord Tengen, you got beaten even worse this time than yesterday!"
*Thud!
* Makio slammed a punch into her head, roaring, "Listen to the nonsense you're spouting!"
Suma wailed, clutching her head.
"Makio-neechan is bullying us!"
Only Hinatsuru kindly helped Uzui Tengen up.
[Ended a battle, gained 3 experience points.]
[Congratulations, you've leveled up!]
Hearing this, Aoki's spirits lifted.
3 experience points, just right.
He was worried he wouldn't have enough and would have to fight another battle.
With a thought, a deep blue screen appeared in his vision.
This time he gained 1 skill point and 1 attribute point.
Aoki didn't hesitate, immediately adding the free attribute point to Intelligence.
A cool sensation surged through his mind, and he instantly felt the pressure that had been weighing on his heart lessen considerably.
There was no need to hesitate about the free skill point either.
A half-star profession has four skill points corresponding to four skills; you can't learn any others.
The only skill you can choose is "Unyielding Will".
Aoki chose to study directly.
If increasing intelligence was like eating an ice cream on a sweltering summer day—refreshingly cool—then studying "Unyielding Will" was like suddenly having a volcano inside him.
The mental pressure kept piling up.
Reaching a critical point, the volcano erupted suddenly, forcefully pushing back the pressure.

Another occupation reached the maximum level.
In total, it took about half a year, not bad, a bit faster than "Hunter".
Among them, Muzan Kibutsuji played a crucial role.
"It does feel a bit better, but I feel like I have an extra burst of energy that I want to release."
Aoki's gaze involuntarily shifted to Uzui Tengen.
Seeing his aggressive gaze, Uzui Tengen felt a chill run down his spine.
"No! This has to end today!"
"Of course," Aoki said.
He had no intention of taking his anger out on Uzui Tengen.
If he didn't control himself, he could kill Uzui Tengen with a single punch.
In fact, he had been consciously controlling his power while fighting the Pillar.
His 23 points of power were already an absolute crushing force against the Pillar, something that technique couldn't compensate for.
Uzui Tengen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had a mission to complete tomorrow; another beating and he might not be able to get up.
"Give it to me!" Aoki held out his hand.
Uzui Tengen looked at his hand, bewildered: "What?"
"Spatial Mark!" Aoki said.
Uzui Tengen was taken aback: "Spatial Mark, could it be..."
Aoki nodded: "This is the last match, the sparring ends here."
He had mastered the power, as evidenced by the fact that Uzui Tengen was only bruised and uninjured.
With his "Martial Artist" skill maxed out and his combat techniques honed to perfection, the mental pressure was greatly relieved, and he had adapted to the interference of the spatial mark. It was time to get down to business.
"As expected."
Uzui Tengen took out a wooden plaque, feeling a pang of reluctance.
The beatings were painful, but the improvement in strength was real, and he hadn't expected it to end so quickly.
The only consolation was that he became stronger to kill demons, and Aoki's sparring was also for killing demons, perhaps even more efficiently than his.
The processes were different, but the destination was the same.
"When does the next round start?" Uzui Tengen asked as he handed over the wooden plaque.
"There is no next round."
Aoki shook his head.
With his "Martial Artist" skill maxed out and his combat techniques honed to perfection, he no longer needed the tool pillar.
"That's it?" Uzui Tengen felt even more disappointed.
"Take care, all four of you. I'll take my leave now."
"May Mr. Aomura Kazuhiko have great success in his martial arts endeavors!"
Aoki nodded slightly to them, then his figure vanished abruptly.
