Chapter 4: Heaven Defying Comprehension
It took a few seconds for Yu Youming to calm down. He looked at the time column, and his eyes narrowed.
"20 years?"
A stream of information surged into his mind, and soon Yu Youming realized this was the time limit for his residency in this world. After 20 years, he would return to the main world. However, according to the information, the flow of time in this world was much faster compared to the main world. A year or two here might equal an hour outside. Unfortunately, he could only verify this after he returned to the main world.
"Heaven-defying comprehension? Is this my bound talent?" Yu Youming thought.
Just from its name, he could tell it was a very overpowered talent. At that moment, he saw a bird fly from the branch of a tree.
[Your comprehension is heaven defying. You watched the bird fly to the horizon and comprehended the Bird Flying Across Horizon]
Yu Youming felt a cooling sensation in his mind, gaining experience and skills related to the technique. Bird Flying Across Horizon was a technique that could imitate the bird's movement of flying in the sky. This meant that with his mortal body, he could leap from tree to tree like a ninja.
"Amazing..."
Even though Yu Youming hadn't tested the skill, he felt confident that once he used it, he could do it without fail.
"Big brother?!"
Suddenly, a shout interrupted his thoughts. His mind returned to reality, and he turned to look at the boy who resembled Muichiro Tokito but appeared more childish and younger.
"What did I do?" Yu Youming asked in confusion.
"You threw water on Lady Amane Ubuyashiki, the wife of Kagaya Ubuyashiki!" Muichiro said.
"Oh..."
Yu Youming narrowed his eyes. If he remembered correctly, in the original story, Muichiro's backstory was a bit tragic. After both of his parents died, Amane Ubuyashiki had been recruiting him and his older brother for the Demon Slayer Corps because they were descendants of Kokushibo. They had high potential.
Unfortunately, Yuichiro Tokito, his older brother, was stubborn. On the night after his older brother threw water on Amane Ubuyashiki, blatantly rejecting her, a demon appeared in their hamlet and his older brother died. After that, Muichiro managed to kill the demon and started his journey as a demon slayer.
"This..."
Yu Youming suddenly felt worried. When shuttling to a new world, his strength from the main world would not be included. This meant the current Yu Youming was a weak mortal who could die from weapons and diseases. But the most worrisome was the demon attack tonight! Without strength, he would not be able to defeat that demon.
"Should we leave and go to the Demon Slayer Corps? But I don't have the memory of this body, and I don't even have any idea where to go. It's almost dark soon too, in a few hours..."
Yu Youming looked very troubled. He turned his head and looked at Muichiro, who was now his little brother. A warm sensation suddenly spread in his heart. This was the body's instinctive love for his little brother. Even Yu Youming was affected by it, and he subconsciously thought to protect him.
"Muichiro, when morning arrives, we will go to the Demon Slayer Corps," Yu Youming said.
Muichiro, who thought his brother would scold him again, was suddenly stunned. He asked, "You mean we'll join the Demon Slayer Corps?"
"Yes, for now, go back to the house. I'll go gather some wood for a while," Yu Youming waved his hand and walked into the forest.
Watching his disappearing figure, Muichiro was puzzled. "When Lady Amane came earlier, he rejected her. Why did he change his mind now?"
Muichiro could not figure out how his big brother's mind worked, but he was happy. He immediately followed his big brother's instruction and went to the house to cook.
"Now let's test this skill..."
Yu Youming, who had gone deep into the forest, stopped in front of giant trees. He bent his legs and used the force to leap onto the bark of a tree. Using the bark as a cushion, he leaped to another tree's bark again. He repeated this movement until he landed on the top branches of a tree.
"Amazing... This Bird Flying Across Horizon is indeed useful."
Yu Youming lowered his head and was somewhat surprised. He had climbed three hundred meters in a few seconds using the skill.
Even though this was not worth mentioning in the Martial World, in the World of Demon Slayer, which was a relatively low martial arts realm, it was definitely a decent technique.
Yu Youming raised his head and continued his climb. Quickly, he reached the top of the tree. From there, he could see the entire view of the forest.
Everywhere in his sight were countless treetops. To the east, he could vaguely see that the trees were less dense. In the distance, there were even silhouettes of countless houses.
"That must be a village."
Yu Youming thought and sat there. He reached out his hand to break a small branch, waving it repeatedly.
He utilized his heaven-defying comprehension. In half an hour, a panel appeared in front of him.
[Your comprehension is heaven defying. You repeatedly waved a branch and insights poured into your mind. You comprehended the basic sword skills]
After obtaining this skill, Yu Youming did not waste a second and quickly climbed down the tree. Then he ran through the forest, evading the trees.
[Your comprehension is heaven defying. You had run and insights keep pouring into your mind. As a result, you comprehended the basic movement technique]
[Your comprehension is heaven defying. You had fallen repeatedly from a tree and comprehended the basic defensive technique]
"Finally..."
Yu Youming noticed the panel and took a deep breath. He was finally able to protect himself. This was probably enough for a low-leveled demon.
If he needed to comprehend a higher-level technique, like the breathing techniques of the Demon Slayer Corps, he would have to go there.
Yu Youming raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was already turning dark, and the sun was setting.
"Now the only thing left is to kill that demon..."
