Chapter 39

Xander and Shinobu Kocho simultaneously sheathed their Nichirin swords.

After Shinobu Kocho ordered the people from the Hidden Division to bind Xander, she didn't even give him a glance and turned away.

Xander smiled helplessly and then watched as Tanjiro and Nezuko were taken away by the logistics people from the Hidden Division.

Tanjiro looked at Xander and desperately asked, "Senior Xander, it turns out that a swordsman with a demon won't be recognized, right?"

Xander knew that Tanjiro and Nezuko would be fine, so he reassured them, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Although Tanjiro knew that Xander was trying to calm him down, he still felt a great sense of relief.

"Thank you, Senior Xander."

After Tanjiro left with the people from the Hidden Division, Xander approached Tomoeka Giyu.

"Brother Giyu, I think that grandfather and you have already vouched for Tanjiro and the others."

Tomoeka Giyu looked at Xander and asked perplexedly, "Xander, what do you want to do?"

"Nothing, I'm just curious if I can be included. Because even if grandfather and brother giyu vouch, there will still be those who disagree," Xander replied.

Tomiyoka giyu spoke in a deep voice, "Let's discuss this matter after meeting with the Lord."

After that, Tomioka giyu turned and left.

Xander was about to follow him when he suddenly noticed the warm rays of light in the sky.

"The sun has come out; I hope this light will bring me luck."

Then, following the steps of the Hidden Division, Xander delved into the consciousness of the system to open the box.

"System! Let's open the box!"

[Ding! The host now has 5 bronze chests and 12 black iron chests. Would you like to open them all?]

"First, open ten black iron chests for encouragement, then the rest," Xander ordered.

[Ding! Black Iron Chest × 10 opened! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a total of 1 Strength Potion, 2 Intelligence Potions, 2 Endurance Potions, 1 Speed Potion, Navy Fleet Styles - Iron Block, Navy Fleet Styles - Moon Step, and 2 servings of ordinary genin chakra.]

The two servings of ordinary genin chakra directly entered Xander's body, and he felt the chakra flowing within him change from being thin as a hair and seemingly fragile to becoming thicker.

"Now I won't be afraid of exhausting chakra for the cloning technique. In a single battle, releasing a dozen should be no problem," Xander smiled easily.

The remaining potions went directly into Xander's spatial ring, and the two Navy Fleet Styles turned into scrolls and also went into the spatial ring.

To avoid being detected, Xander decided to enter the spatial ring with his consciousness, and then use the Iron Block and Moon Step scrolls.

The two scrolls turned into starlight and disappeared into the spatial ring.

Xander's consciousness comprehended the use and skills of Iron Block and Moon Step, and he also felt his body slightly strengthen.

"I've learned three of the Six Styles of the Navy Fleet, and can fight at a higher rank, but my mental abilities are still slightly lacking. I hope something improves mentally soon."

After a brief analysis, Xander realized where his greatest weakness lay.

Although Xander had Icy Breath and wasn't afraid of mental invasion when he transformed into ice, such as from a lower-ranked nightmare, he was still more vulnerable when not in his ice form.

"System, open all the remaining chests!" Xander said.

[Ding! The host opened 5 bronze chests and 2 black iron chests.]

[The host receives Curse Cleansing, Slave Contract, Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique, 1 Jonin chakra, 1 Telepathic Power Potion, 1 Speed Potion]

[Curse Cleansing: Low-level skill, cleanses all negative effects on the body, cooldown time: 48 hours. Note: Weakness caused by physical exhaustion cannot be cleansed]

[Slave Contract: A contract from a western fantasy world, used to restrict slaves. Once the slave signs the contract, they cannot contradict the will of the master.]

[Shadow Clone Technique: From the Naruto world, a B-rank ninjutsu, it can create a physical clone with thoughts and attack power]

[Jonin Chakra: From the Naruto world, allows the host to have the chakra of an ordinary Jonin.]

[Telepathy: Low-level skill, the mind senses everything within ten meters.]

Seeing what the bronze chest contained, Xander was in tears.

"Of course, the bronze chest is incomparable to the black iron chest and the wooden chest. "All the items opened are great!"

In the next second, the skills and chakra directly entered Xander's body.

"Telepathy!"

Xander immediately tried out the skill.

Within a ten-meter radius, Xander sensed everything, even Kocho Shinobu occasionally glanced at him from the corner of her eye. Noticing her occasional glances, Xander felt a bit anxious.

"Shinobu probably didn't see me use the scroll just now, right? She probably didn't notice!"

Xander observed Kocho Shinobu for a while and noticed that she only looked at him for a few seconds each time, then stopped, with intervals of about ten minutes.

At this moment, Xander calmed down and then looked at the piece of parchment and the scroll in the spatial ring.

"The Slave Contract definitely needs to be used, but Rosa should be released after the Tanjirou incident is resolved. As for the Shadow Clone Technique scroll..."

Xander used his telepathy to see that no one was particularly paying attention to him, except for the people from the Hidden Division who were accompanying him. Xander's consciousness entered the spatial ring and then he used the Shadow Clone Technique scroll.

As the scroll dissipated, the sequence of seals for the Shadow Clone Technique appeared in Xander's mind, and the chakra in his body increased slightly.

"One Jonin plus two Genin, with the chakra traces provided by the two techniques, now I have more chakra than an average Jonin, but unfortunately, I haven't mastered enough ninjutsu."

"But there's the chest system, so I can just open more chests when the time comes."

Finally, Xander looked at his Curse Cleansing skill and then asked the system:

"System, can Curse Cleansing be used on other people?"

[Ding! Yes!

Hearing this, a glimmer of light appeared in Xander's eyes.

"Can Curse Cleansing remove Muzan's curse?"

The system was silent for a while, and just as Xander thought it might be impossible, the system's sound echoed.

[Ding! It can be cleansed!

Upon hearing this, Xander was a bit surprised and somewhat concerned.

"I didn't expect that Curse Cleansing could actually remove Muzan's curse, but I don't know if Muzan's power will weaken after his curse is cleansed."

"I'll wait until the next mission and capture a demon to try it."

At that moment, the Demon Slayer Corps arrived.

Xander looked at the entrance to the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters and felt a slight emotion.

"I didn't expect to come here once every two years, but after joining the Demon Slayer Corps, I've returned so soon."

After that, Xander entered the Headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps, followed by Giyu and Kocho Shinobu, and they arrived at the Ubuyashiki family's courtyard.

There were already six people waiting in the courtyard.

At that moment, all eight pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, except for the Wind Pillar, were present.
