In Demon Slayer With Heavenly Insight

Chapter 3 Mark And Challenge

After listening to Mrs. Amane's words, everyone knew what Mark meant to everyone present here.

Mrs. Amane looked at Ren and bowed to him: "Please, Ren -san, please tell everyone the conditions for Marks awakening."

Ren was a little surprised by Mrs. Amane's bow. He didn't expect that the other party would be so reasonable.

Since Ren had agreed to Ubuyashiki kagaya to join, he had no intention of hiding it.

The next moment, Ren stood up: "Then let me speak."

Ren recounted what happened on Spider Mountain in Natian in detail, but he also combined it with the content of the original plot.

It can be said that everything have been completely explained.

[You are currently explaining about Demom slayer marks .You gained something during the explanation, and your understanding of markings have been further deepened]

[Your markings have reached the point where they appear in one thought]

[Your markings have evolved and your physical fitness has been greatly enhanced]

Ren was stunned, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain for explaining this to everyone

He Felt the strange movement from inside his body, the markings on Ren's body soon began to spread further.

The black auspicious cloud patterns were like weird tadpoles, quickly spreading along the neck towards the body. In a moment, the patterns covered Ren's whole body.

The next moment, with Ren's thought, these markings quietly disappeared.

This scene greatly shocked all the people present. If Mrs . Amane hadn't reminded them before, they might all have thought that the strange scene just now was a blood demon art.

"Is this the pattern? It is indeed very similar to the patterns of demons." Tengen couldn't help but sigh. This was the first time he had seen such a strange scene on a human being.

The other Pillers were thinking about the information in Ren's words.

"The heartbeat exceeds two hundred times and the body temperature reaches thirty-nine degrees?"

As a doctor, Kocho Shinobu was the first to ask: "Can you still move in that state? It's a matter of life and death."

"Yes." Ren nodded, "This is the key to the selection. The Demon forced me into a life-and-death situation before. Who will be alive when the time comes is the point of difference when the mark appears."

All the Hashiras were silent.

They all heard the hidden meaning of Ren's words.

Ren had experienced life and death before awakening. In terms of consciousness, he was no lower than anyone else present.

"Isn't this quite easy to achieve?" Sanemk nodded thoughtfully, feeling that this did not seem to be difficult.

But this sentence was retorted by Tomioka Giyu: "I really don't know what you are thinking in your simple mind, you actually think that this kind of thing will be easy."

Sanemi said angrily: "What did you say?"

"He's right." Ren took over Tomioka's words and said, "Your mind is indeed quite simple."

"You brat!" The veins on sanemi's forehead popped out, obviously he was really angry.

", please be quiet."

Mrs. Amane's words made the atmosphere quiet again, but what she said next undoubtedly sounded the alarm for everyone.

"Marks also have corresponding side effects."

obanai asked in confusion: "What is it?"

Mrs. Amane's answer was hesitant:

"It's advance of life, because no one who activates marks will live past the age of 25." Ren had no intention of hiding it from everyone. Everyone present was ready to die so there was no one who was afraid of and as for how did he find out please awaken the mark first

However, these words still made the expressions of the Hashiras present freeze instantly.

Such powerful side effects shocked everyone.

At the same time, they were also curious that Ren could say this without any reaction.

Een has awakened his stripes, which means that he is destined to be no more than 25 years old.

Isn't he afraid?

"As long as I can defeat Muzan Kibutsuji, this price is nothing."

"Since the side effects are so severe, how gorgeous will I be when I awaken my stripes? It's really exciting!"

Sanemk and Tengen were the first to react. They did not flinch, but felt happy because they might also gain such a powerful power.

This couldn't help but make Ren feel moved. Although he knew the plot of the original work, he was still moved by the Hashiras' consciousness.

The next moment, the other Hashiras all showed expressions of relief.

Since Marks is so powerful, it makes sense that it would have such vicious side effects.

Then it's a race to see who can open the stripes first.

The Hashiras all cast their glances at Ren, and their bright eyes were completely different from before.

Now that Ren has awakened his stripes, whoever gets Ren will have the upper hand!

Ren is no different from a hot treasure now.

"In this case, let me take him back." Gyomei said with a hearty smile.

"No, I must come. I have three wives at home, so I can definitely entertain Ren." Uzui Tengen rushed directly in front of Su Chen gorgeously.

Muichiro stopped him: "I think Ren and I are similar in age, so Ren will probably like me more."

"How about you go to my house? I have cream cakes."

Mitsuri, who had been silent until now, blushed and spoke, looking very much looking forward to Ren's reply.

Seeing this, obanai showed a gloomy expression: "Go to my place, I can train you well!"

Only sanemi looked dissatisfied.

He always felt that Ren's awakening of the stripes must be an unexpected coincidence, and the other party seemed to have never even mentioned that he used sword before, how could he be as good as Mrs. Tianyin said.

Unless he defeats him, he will not be able to recognize the other party at all.

Thinking of this, sanemi said: "Although everyone thinks that the pattern is very strong, it does not mean that Ren has the strength to become a Hashira. I'm afraid this kid has never even mentioned a knife, right?"

Sanemi words immediately awoke everyone.

They almost forgot what Ubayasiki kagaya said.

The next moment, Sanemi half-knelt in front of Ubayashiki kagaya: "Your lord, I admit Ren's talent, but I don't think he can be given a Hashira-level position!"

"The rules of the Demon Slayer Corps for so many years have always been that strength and contribution come first. If Ren can become a Hashira just by awakening his patterns, I fell be sorry for the ordinary swordsmen!"

"Does Ren even have the consciousness to kill Demons?"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes.

He naturally knows that this is due to the character of sanemi but it will be still uncomfortable for a person to be looked down and provoked by the other person like this!It seems that I have to treat the other party well.

Ubuyashiki Kagaya Said: "Since Sanemi doesn't agree with my decision, then Ren and Sanemi will compete in Half year that is six months. If Sanemi still can't approve of Ren by then, then let Ren participate. Selection and assessment."

"I humbly reject this proposal." Ren suddenly said.

You-Know

Demon Slayer Mark-Abilities

Bright Red Nichirin Sword:

Bearers of the Demon Slayer Mark can dye their Nichirin Swords a shining bright red color mainly through clashing their blade with another marked swordsman's or gripping it with tremendous force. Bright Red Nichirin Swords have the ability to generate intense heat and also hamper the regeneration of demons, some of which on the level of the strongest Upper Ranks of the Twelve Kizuki and the Demon King himself.

Enhanced Physical Capabilities:

Upon awakening the Demon Slayer Mark, the physical strength and speed of the bearer is exponentially increased to the point where Hashira or Hashira-level Demon Slayers are able to overpower and defeat the Upper Ranks of the Twelve Kizuki and grow in power comparable to the highest among them. It is implied that the bearer's physical arm strength is increased by around 100x after awakening the mark, though it could be a hyperbole and thus the value could be much lower.The increase in the speed of the bearer is quite apparent as well, as seen when Muichiro Tokito, who was initially having trouble dealing with Gyokko's various techniques,became capable of regularly out-speeding and even blitzing Gyokko in his true form after activating his mark. It also increases their healing rate, as Muichiro and Mitsuri were able to almost fully recover from their battles with the Upper Ranks just three days afterwards.

Enhanced Resistance:

The Demon Slayer Mark increases the bearer's resistance to Muzan Kibutsuji's demon-transforming blood,much like Total Concentration Breathing.

Transparent World: 

Bearers of the Demon Slayer Mark can potentially gain access and see into the Transparent World, allowing them to perceive the bodies of others as if their skin was transparent. This enables them to track the flow of blood, breathing, muscular contractions and joint movements of the person they are looking at, which can be used to predict their movements and evade their attacks with ease.Additionally, those who can access the Transparent World can perceive the world in slow-motion, further increasing their reaction and movement speed.

Curse of the Demon Slayer Mark

Awakening the Demon Slayer Mark comes at a steep price. Demon Slayers who have awakened their mark are said to, without exception, die before reaching the age of Kokushibo states that awakening the mark merely reduces the lifespans of their bearers in exchange for greater power, while Gyomei Himejima describes it as "paying one's lifespan in advance in the exchange for a greater physique." However, Kokushibo managed to survive through accepting Muzan Kibutsuji's offer to become a demon, living for roughly another four centuries after aging past 25, indicating that gaining eternal life through demonification allows one to cheat the mark's curse.

Despite what the curse entails, it is still possible to awaken the mark after a Demon Slayer is older than 25, evident in Gyomei awakening it along with gaining its benefits.Kokushibo surmised that due to this unique situation, Gyomei would die within a few hours of activating it,which came to pass after the Demon Slayer Corps' final battle against Muzan, though it is possible that he died due to the injuries he sustained during the battle rather than the curse itself. Furthermore, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the first user of the mark, managed to live past the age of 80,though this can also be explained by the fact that he was born with it. The only Demon Slayers to awaken to their mark and survive the final battle are Tanjiro, Giyu, and Sanemi, although their ultimate fates are unknown.
