Chapter 62: Selection Ends

In fact, most of the demons caught by the Demon Slayer Corps to Fujikasane Mountain are relatively weak, and they are just right for newcomers to train.

Demons like the Hand Demon that have grown after devouring a large number of companions are rare, and similar accidents are difficult for the Demon Slayer Corps to foresee.

On the second day of the Final Selection, Makomo woke up, but her legs temporarily lost the ability to move due to injury.

During the period of hunting demons in Fujikasane Mountain, Chu Yang has been carrying her on his back.

But even with one more person on his back, it did not affect his actions at all.

At this time, Makomo realized the power of Chu Yang.

Fighting demons alone and fighting demons with someone on your back are two completely different things.

This proves that Chu Yang's strength and the demons in this mountain and the young swordsmen who participated in the selection are not in the same dimension at all.

After waiting for the seventh day, Chu Yang took Makomo down the mountain.

After reaching the torii gate in the middle of the mountain, he found that there were many more people who finally returned here than expected.

Most of the swordsmen who participated in the selection survived, all thanks to Chu Yang, but many of the swordsmen who survived chose to leave, also because of Chu Yang.

Most of the powerful demons died in Chu Yang's hands. For them, these seven days were more like ordinary survival in the wild.

Many of them have witnessed Chu Yang slaughtering demons.

After seeing this teenager who is like a monster again, everyone's expressions became very complicated.

Fear, dread, awe, and gratitude.

No matter what kind of emotion is more, their eyes are always focused on Chu Yang.

Chu Yang doesn't care how they look at him. He doesn't even bother to look at these people more, and walks straight to the official staff hosting this selection.

The young swordsmen gave way to him one after another, attracting the host to look sideways and look at Chu Yang meaningfully.

Chu Yang put Makomo on the ground and said loudly, "Trouble helping me send this girl to the Butterfly Mansion. Her feet are injured and need treatment."

As soon as the words fell, members of "Attendants" immediately stepped forward, took Makomo from Chu Yang's hands, and performed emergency treatment for her.

"I heard them say that you almost killed all the demons in the mountain alone?" The host joked with a smile, "Thanks to you, many people in this trial passed without training, and the Demon Slayer Corps ushered in a lot of useless fresh blood."

Chu Yang sneered and retorted, "Most of them will die, but dying early is not as good as dying late. Instead of dying here in these seven days, it is better to live and take a few more demons as cushions later."

"To be honest, I don't understand why you are in such a hurry to send this group of swordsmen with no combat experience here to die. Instead of calling it a selection, it's better to say it's feeding the demons in the mountain."

"This is a stupid and irresponsible form of selection."

Obviously, they can let the trainers take these newcomers to accumulate more experience in fighting demons, but they never do so, and they have to let those novice swordsmen who only know breathing styles do some extreme survival.

If you want to do it, you have to have more combat experience!

Chu Yang's dangerous remarks made the host's face change, because the Final Selection is a tradition inherited by the Ubuyashiki family for generations. His words are undoubtedly directly attacking the Ubuyashiki family. He warned Chu Yang with an unkind expression, "Didn't your trainer tell you that you can't talk nonsense?"

"Every demon in Fujikasane Mountain was caught by us after we confirmed that it was suitable for novices to fight. If they can't even pass this level, it only shows that their strength is not enough to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Heh~" Chu Yang raised the corners of his mouth and said in the same tone as the host before, "There is a demon in there that has eaten fifty companions in a row and also ate more than a dozen swordsmen participating in the selection. Guess, how is its strength?"

The host was stunned, but looking at Chu Yang's expression, it didn't seem like a lie. If such a demon really existed, then at least it was a different demon that could use Blood Demon Art.

Most of the swordsmen participating in the selection were indeed feeding this monster.

But afterwards, the host's expression gradually became firm and said loudly, "After officially becoming a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, such situations are countless. Most of the time, we are fighting demons stronger than ourselves."

"Since a thousand years ago, after demons were born, it has been like this. We have no choice..."

His words made Chu Yang look at him with admiration. After thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the case.

For a long time, everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps has been upholding this awareness in battle.

Appreciation is appreciation, but Chu Yang still thinks that the method of Final Selection is very stupid. Obviously, there is a better training model.

After a brief silence between the two sides, the host did not continue to argue with Chu Yang, but said to others, "Because the number of survivors this time exceeded the average level in the past, the number of ores and Messenger Crows we prepared before is not enough, so your right to choose has been cancelled."

A commotion broke out in the crowd.

"You should know the reason why you can pass the Final Selection..." The host's cold eyes swept across the crowd, and the momentum overwhelmed everyone. The sound of discussion gradually subsided.

"Of course, not everyone will lose the right to choose." The host changed the subject, then looked at Chu Yang, "Given your personal performance, your right to choose can be retained."

Chu Yang laughed, inserted the huge horse-slaying sword behind his back into the earth, and the terrifying power made the ground tremble, and the crowd followed and shook.

"Is there such a big ore?" Chu Yang pointed to the horse-slaying sword and said unceremoniously, "If not, I want this sword. In name, this still belongs to the Demon Slayer Corps' weapon."

After the slaughter of Fujikasane Mountain, Chu Yang knew the weight and size of the horse-slaying sword well, and became more and more handy when using it. If he changed it rashly, he would have to spend time adapting.

Facing Chu Yang's lion's opening, the host actually nodded and agreed, which made Chu Yang feel a bit surprised. He had already prepared to fight a war of words.

The host responded to Chu Yang's surprise with one sentence, "This is preferential treatment for geniuses. The Demon Slayer Corps has only one goal, which is to kill all demons. To achieve this goal, we will not be stingy with resources."

As soon as he finished speaking, the host whistled, and a black shadow glided in the sky, landing on Chu Yang's shoulder. It was a crow with gray eyes.

"This is your Messenger Crow, responsible for daily contact with the Demon Slayer Corps and transmitting information about demons."

Chu Yang gently touched the Messenger Crow on his shoulder. In the future, information about the location of demons will need to be provided by this little guy.

Thus, the Final Selection ended in an amazing turn of events that had never happened before.
