In a hazy blur, Xia Feng slowly opened his eyes.
He realized he was lying on a bed, his arm wrapped tightly in bandages.
Around him, several people dressed in white coats moved busily from place to place.
Turning his head slightly, he looked toward the doorway.
There stood several people wearing black uniforms and strange head coverings.
On the back of each of them was a single character—
"Hidden."
Xia Feng tried to raise his arm.
Then his eyes widened in shock.
His arm… had become shorter!
Not just his arm. He quickly realized that his entire body had shrunk.
Before this, he had clearly been a healthy young man in his twenties.
Now…
He looked like a kid barely in his early teens.
His heart skipped a beat.
Could it be…
Had he transmigrated?
Just as the shock settled in, a voice suddenly rang beside his ear.
[System Notification: Host awakening detected. God-Tier Support System automatically activated!]
[System Notification: Beginner gift pack automatically distributed. The pack contains two Silver Card draws. Would you like to receive it?]
Hearing the voice, Xia Feng froze for a moment.
Then a surge of excitement ran through him.
"Receive!"
Before transmigrating, Xia Feng had read plenty of novels and played countless games. Naturally, he was very familiar with the concept of a cheat system.
As he accepted the gift pack, he quickly asked in his mind:
"What world is this?"
[System Notification: Answering host. Current world identified as the world of "Demon Slayer."]
Xia Feng sucked in a cold breath.
Demon Slayer!
He had watched that anime before.
He knew very well how terrifying the demons in that world were.
Once the realization clicked, everything around him suddenly made sense.
The unfamiliar environment no longer felt unfamiliar.
If he wasn't mistaken, this place should be the Butterfly Estate—the logistics and medical division of the Demon Slayer Corps!
After understanding his situation, Xia Feng took a deep breath.
In a world with such an insanely high death rate, it was fortunate he had a system.
At the very least, he wouldn't be completely helpless.
Thinking this, he immediately used the beginner reward.
[System Notification: Drawing… Drawing successful! Congratulations! You obtained the Silver Ability — Advanced Physique Enhancement.]
[System Notification: Advanced Physique Enhancement — Greatly increases stamina, endurance, strength, and resistance to toxins and elements.]
As the notification sounded, an intense itching sensation spread throughout Xia Feng's entire body.
It was so strange and overwhelming that he almost couldn't bear it!
Fortunately, the sensation came quickly and vanished just as fast.
Within a few seconds, it disappeared completely.
Xia Feng immediately felt as if his body had been thoroughly reforged.
Every muscle felt stronger.
Every bone felt tougher.
His body had become incredibly resilient!
Suppressing the excitement surging inside him, he activated the second Silver Card.
[System Notification: Drawing… Drawing successful! Congratulations! You obtained the Silver Skill — Healing Technique!]
[System Notification: Healing Technique — Consumes stamina to rapidly heal injuries of yourself or others.]
Xia Feng's eyes lit up.
He reached out and gently passed his hand over the injured area on his arm.
A flash of white light appeared.
The wound instantly closed and healed completely.
Although the earlier physique enhancement had already healed most of the injury, this still clearly demonstrated just how powerful the Healing Technique was.
Xia Feng nodded in satisfaction and sat up.
One of the Kakushi members nearby noticed him sitting upright and froze in surprise.
He clearly remembered that the boy's arm had been seriously injured earlier.
How could he suddenly sit up on his own?
But before he could walk over to check, loud shouting suddenly erupted outside the room.
"Make way!"
"Prepare a bed! Emergency treatment!"
"Severely wounded!"
Everyone inside the room immediately turned to look toward the entrance.
Under everyone's gaze, two Kakushi members rushed inside carrying a stretcher, their faces filled with panic.
On the stretcher lay a young man.
The black Demon Slayer Corps uniform he wore—and the half-broken Nichirin blade still clutched in his hand—clearly revealed his identity.
A member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Three long, deep gashes ran across his abdomen.
The entire stretcher was soaked with blood.
A girl in uniform with twin ponytails quickly walked over. When she saw the wounds, she frowned immediately.
"Quick! Go get Lady Shinobu! Only she might be able to save injuries like this!"
Hearing this, one of the medical staff anxiously replied,
"It's too late! Lady Shinobu went to treat an injured Hashira. She's not here right now!"
The twin-tailed girl's face instantly turned pale.
What should she do?
With wounds this severe, if treatment didn't begin immediately, the man would die without a doubt!
Her name was Aoi Kanzaki, a medical assistant at the Butterfly Estate, directly under the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho.
Aoi knew very well that at a time like this, someone had to act.
But…
She opened her mouth several times.
Yet not a single word came out.
Her hands were already turning cold.
Just as panic began to overwhelm her, a figure walked past her and headed straight toward the stretcher.
"Put him down. Let me take a look."
Xia Feng stepped beside the stretcher and spoke calmly.
His voice wasn't loud.
Yet it carried an inexplicable sense of confidence that made people instinctively trust him.
This tone of speech had once been taught to him during corporate training in his previous life.
He hadn't expected it to come in handy at a moment like this…
The two Kakushi members carrying the stretcher exchanged hesitant glances.
They didn't recognize Xia Feng and weren't sure what to do.
"Hurry up. Don't waste time," Xia Feng urged.
Seeing that Aoi Kanzaki didn't object, they carefully set the stretcher down.
Xia Feng reached out his hand without caring about the blood and placed it directly over the wound.
After sensing the condition of the injury, he nodded slightly.
It was within the range he could treat.
Under the watchful eyes of Aoi and the other Kakushi members—
A soft white glow appeared in Xia Feng's palm.
As the light spread, the Demon Slayer's wounds began to close at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Aoi Kanzaki's jaw nearly dropped to the floor.
All the Kakushi members and medical staff gasped in shock.
To them, only one word could describe what they were witnessing.
A miracle.
In this world, unless someone turned into a demon, there was no way for injuries to recover at such a terrifying speed.
Even Shinobu Kocho could only stimulate a patient's life force with special poisons, then combine it with bleeding control methods to help them survive the brink of death.
But the boy in front of them…
Had directly healed the wound!
As the injury continued to close, Xia Feng finally withdrew his hand.
He hadn't fully healed the wound.
There was no need.
As long as the man wouldn't die, the Butterfly Estate's medical staff could handle the rest.
The Healing Technique consumed a significant amount of stamina. If he hadn't obtained the physique enhancement earlier, he wouldn't have been able to save the man at all.
Looking at the stunned crowd surrounding him, Xia Feng felt somewhat speechless.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and continue the treatment."
His words finally snapped everyone out of their daze.
The medical staff in white coats quickly took over the patient's care.
Meanwhile, Aoi Kanzaki stared at Xia Feng with sparkling eyes.
"You're amazing! What was that just now?!"
Seeing the girl looking at him with pure admiration, Xia Feng paused thoughtfully for two seconds.
Then he suddenly coughed weakly.
"It's nothing… just a small trick. I consume my own life force to help heal other people's wounds."
He clutched his chest and deliberately showed a fragile expression.
"What?!"
Aoi Kanzaki's eyes widened in shock.
