In this world, there are four towns in Karakura Town.
"Crescent Moon Celestial!" The crescent moon with a silver-white edge and a sky-blue arc cut through the sky with the shattering spiritual pressure. The Hollow, who was more than ten meters tall and looked terrifying but was actually just a little Karami, was killed on the spot without any suspense.
Ichigo, who was in the air, looked at the dissipated Hollow, and moved his muscles and body with unfulfilled interest. A year and a half has passed since his trip to Soul Society. His life has undergone some changes, mainly because he was granted the right to act as the agent of the God of Death and had a 'public position'.
In addition to studying, he took on the job of guarding Karakura Town. Although he was a little busier, he still enjoyed it. During the training and practice, his strength was also far from the same as before, and he had more ability to protect his friends and Family confidence.
As for why you have to use Crescent Moon Chong to kill an ordinary Hollow... maybe you want to have a sense of ritual in the first battle of the new year?
I feel uncomfortable even without using swastika.
"Huh... is it because the last time I saw Rukia, she said that the atmosphere in Soul Society is getting a little tense now because of that Yhwach, does it make me a little uneasy?" Ichigo exhaled lightly and shook his head. He put his Zanpakutō back on his back.
"Let's go to Mr. Hirakawa's place later." And just when he turned around and prepared to return home instantly, he realized that a girl was looking at him from a distance on the corner of the street while he was in a state of death.
The girl wore an open-breasted white coat, lined with black clothes with golden stars on the chest. She had a slim figure and a heroic face. Her bluish hair was draped over her shoulders. She was holding a single handbag behind her back quite handsomely. Throw it over your right shoulder.
"Young, Ichigo!" Seeing Ichigo, she raised her hand to greet him enthusiastically.
"Young, Ryuuki." Ichigo scratched his head, made sure there was no one around, and quickly walked to the girl's side. Arisawa Ryuki is a classmate and classmate of Ichigo and Orihime, and he and Ichigo are also childhood sweethearts, having known each other since they were four years old.
Because she was unconsciously affected by Ichigo's spiritual pressure during their daily interactions, she also had the ability to see spirits. She was one of the few people in the class who knew about Ichigo, Orihime and others.
"I've been busy on the second day of the New Year." She said with a smile, "It's really hard work."
"It's not like Kyon will celebrate our New Year." Ichigo smiled helplessly: "Ryuuki, you are... going to the gym?"
"Ah, staying at home is really boring. Let's go over and take a look. It shouldn't be closed, right?"
"Well, the closing will be announced." Ichigo thought for a moment and said, "I will probably come over after lunch. Do I need to bring you a meal?"
"Thanks then!" Long Gui said happily.
"No, you're welcome." The two chatted a few more words about the new semester. After they separated, Ichigo disappeared instantly. Arizawa Ryuuki walked past the place where Ichigo had just killed the Hollow and looked back. Suddenly, Sighed softly.
"It's so powerful. That kind of monster can be killed with just one strike." In fact, after knowing the situation of Orihime Chadari and others, she tried to become one of the perfectionists, but unfortunately it was completely different. no.
She could see the spirit body only because of the influence of Ichigo's spiritual pressure, and there was no basis for the full manifestation technique - the fragments of the Soul King's internal organs - inside her body.
As for becoming a god of death, it is even more impossible. Although it is said that there will be no estrangement between friends because of these things, Arizawa Ryuki is actually a bit similar to Ichigo in personality, and is even more aggressive. When I think about the various dangers that Ichigo and the others have experienced, he can't even participate. , the girl will naturally feel unwilling to do so.
She could only practice karate that she had learned since childhood and beat Ichigo to tears in her childhood. She won the women's championship in the high school karate competition a few months ago and even knocked out the runner-up in 30 seconds. Her strength was almost as strong as the men's. compared to.
But this is not the world of Ke Xue. The female karate champion has no choice but to escape when facing an ordinary Hollow like the one Ichigo just killed.
And after that, she felt that maybe learning some weapons would make a difference, and soon got to know a kendo gym that Ichigo often went to.
'Hirakawa Kendo Hall'! Walking to the gym feeling rather annoyed all the way, looking at the plaque above and the small front, a trace of hesitation flashed in Arizawa Ryuki's expression.
This kendo hall does not teach any of the mainstream kendo in Japan, and its location is very inconspicuous. However, after coming to study for a few months, Arisawa Ryuki confirmed that this place is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
In other words, this is where humans and reapers with extraordinary powers gather. Kendo instructor Ichimaru Gin, with his outstanding appearance and mysterious aura, is very popular among female students. However, Arizawa Ryuki once saw him behaving intimately with a blonde female shinigami with a particularly exaggerated figure. He was suspected of being a lover. It is speculated that he also Should be a powerful god of death.
Stark, the kendo instructor, is a handsome uncle with a very naughty daughter, and that child Zeng Dong smashed the wall with one punch.
Roku Nakamura, who appears to be the owner of the museum but is actually more like a butler, was also confirmed by Sadatari as his teacher of the Complete Technique.
There were many extraordinary people coming and going, and Long Gui could feel the terrifying spiritual pressure released from their bodies that would make him suffocate or even lose his life.
As for the core of all this, and the origin of the name of the kendo gym, Hirakawa Kouki, Ryuuki couldn't see anything extraordinary. He only showed the basics of karate when he first entered the gym and was given a few pointers by him, and he hit the nail on the head, making it impossible to judge. What a level. In short, it was much better than anyone she had ever seen and all the teachers she had studied under!
Except for a few people, such as the short female shinigami with blonde hair and braids who punched and kicked Hirakawa Kouki every time she came to the gym, including those two obviously extraordinary teachers, they all respected him.
From Ichigo's words, Ryuuki was even described as "how strong he is." He was definitely the strongest among all those with supernormal strength!
"If you want to gain strength, the strength to fight alongside Inoue and the others, he... is the biggest opportunity and hope." Long Guixin murmured, his expression gradually became firm, and he walked into the gym.
On the second day of the New Year, there was obviously no one in the gym, not even the two instructors were there. Maybe they were on a date or playing with their daughter?
But the person I'm looking for is here. As soon as she entered the gym, the actual gym leader Kouki Hirakawa came out of her practice room. Through the open door, she saw three people, or three Shinigami, inside.
Urahara Kisuke, Yoruichi, Hiyori. The four of them seemed to be playing cards. Long Gui nodded and said apologetically to Ji Xing, "Happy New Year. Sorry to bother you, Mr. Pingchuan."
"Happy New Year, don't disturb me." Ji Xing said, "The kendo room is open and the private room is empty. Which room do you want? You can only practice by yourself today."
"Well..." Long Gui took a deep breath: "Can we talk alone? Mr. Pingchuan."
"Okay." Ji Xing smiled without any surprise, turned back to the three of them and motioned for you to play first, and then took Long Gui to the tea room.
Hiyori curled her lips, watched them leave, looked at Urahara Kisuke, and winked. Urahara Kisuke smiled knowingly and made a shushing gesture.
In the tea room, seeing Ji Xing take a disposable paper cup to drink water from the water dispenser, Long Gui said politely: "I'll do it myself, Mr. Pingchuan." Ji Xing raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to, and took half a cup of warm water, using his right thumb He suddenly made a mistake with his index finger, and a scar was opened by his spiritual power, and a drop of blood splashed into the water glass!
Long Gui was stunned, and the next moment he saw that half a glass of water, which was obviously just a drop of blood, started to boil and was quickly dyed blood red, bubbling and jumping like lava!
It was like magic, Long Guiyi suddenly felt a strong desire for the red water, which was far more than the cold juice in the scorching heat!
"This is……?"
"From the day you came to the gym, I've been guessing when you would be unable to bear it anymore. Drink it and you'll get the power you want." Ji Xing smiled.
Long Gui opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"With Ichigo, Inoue and the others..."
"Strength or weakness depends on your own talent. I can't be sure." Ji Xing said: "But before that, there are some things you need to understand first." Arizawa Ryuki looked at the cup of 'blood water'.
This slightly evil feeling was like the tempting devil in some stories, but Long Gui had made up her mind a long time ago, so she only turned her face a few times, then hummed, and followed Ji Xing's gesture to sit down. On top of the sofa.
"Please tell me, Mr. Pingchuan." Ji Xing said: "First of all, you must understand the source of this power and the use of this glass of blood. Classmate Long Gui, you should have seen Xu often, with various shapes and sizes, but all All the voids have one thing in common, the void hole." Long Gui nodded lightly. She had noticed that all the voids had a round, transparent hole somewhere in the body, as if a part of the body was missing out of thin air.
"After death, a person's spirit turns into a whole, and the whole lingers in the world and does not want to leave. The emptiness in the heart gradually swallows it up and turns it into a void, that is, it turns into a void." Ji Xing said: "This is common sense, but few people care about that kind of thing. The source of emptiness. That feeling of emptiness actually exists before the soul is born. It may be some kind of strong regret, it may be some kind of innate deficiency, it may be some kind of unsatisfaction. In other words, the souls of most of us human beings Everyone has congenital deficiencies, more or less, which usually won't affect anything. But after death, those with more deficiencies are more likely to turn into nothingness, while those with few deficiencies have a better chance of becoming the god of death." Long Gui showed a thoughtful expression. : "The vast majority? In other words, are there people who are not born with defects? Perfectionists like Inoue?" Ji Xing smiled: "It's good to draw inferences from one example, but perfectionists are a different matter. They have deficiencies. But being supplemented by some external object into a perfect state is also the most important cause of power. There are very few people who are born with perfect flaws, or in other words, only two people can be confirmed to be perfect in recorded history. You don’t need to understand this in detail. The glass of blood in front of you contains not only my blood, but also about one ten-millionth of my soul. It can make up for the lack of your soul and allow you to gain the same power as a perfectionist. "Long Gui's eyes instantly returned to the bloody water.
"Do you have...your soul? Use...your soul to make up for the lack of my soul?" Ji Xing nodded: "So this gift is not a gift, it is just a loan. I will give you this power at any time. You can take it all back. Of course, this will not threaten your life, and I will not use this power to force you to do anything." Arizawa Ryuki pondered and remained silent.
"You can decide for yourself whether you believe me or not. There is another aspect you need to consider." Ji Xing said: "The greater the power, the greater the risk you may face. After accepting my power, your peaceful life will most likely be Be broken and embark on an unknown path. I can't predict the power you awaken, but depending on the emptiness in your heart, there is a high probability that it will be some kind of auxiliary ability that can help your companions. Of course, it may also be a special ability to strengthen your combat power so that you can A powerful and high-attack ability as expected." Ryuki Arizawa stared at the glass of blood wine, his head half-bowed, and the girl's eyes were full of energy.
By drinking it, I will be as powerful as Ichigo and have the power to fight! But she thought about it for a few minutes, and Ji Xing waited for her quietly. Finally, Arizawa Ryuki raised his hand, but put it down again, breathing a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, I chose to give up." She looked up at Ji Xing: "It's not that I don't trust you, Mr. Hirakawa, Ichigo mentioned to me that the last time Inoue Sadatari was brought back from Soul Society without incident, Thank you. It's just... I've actually been hesitating. When the situation came to a close, I chose to retreat or not to cause trouble for Ichigo and the others. It's true that I want to fight alongside them, but maybe a large part of it is me' I don’t want to lose. Since I don’t have that kind of luck, don’t forcefully join their camp, not to mention my parents and family, I can’t let them worry!”
"Sure?"
"OK!" Ji Xing picked up the blood wine and drank it in one gulp. Arizawa Takano stood up, bowed heavily to Ji Xing, and said, "Sorry for causing trouble to you. If you are okay, I will go to the private practice room to continue practicing kendo."
"It's okay. If you regret it, you can come to me at any time." Ji Xing shook his head and sent her out. After Arizawa Ryuki nodded his apology again and walked into the private practice room, Ji Xing, who was standing at the door of the tea room, stretched out his hand and tore it to the right.
As if an invisible curtain was lifted, the highly condensed spiritual barrier was torn apart by him, and the figures of Urahara Kisuke and three others appeared.
"Hahaha." Yoruichi said with a smile: "I'm just saying that Urahara, you can't hide this little trick from Yono." Hiyori looked at her nose and heart, and snorted: "I told you not to eavesdrop, you are so The idiot had to drag me here, and someone discovered it!" Urahara Kisuke smiled and didn't care, he just praised: "It's amazing."
"Are you talking about me or Long Gui?" Ji Xing said with a smile: "She is indeed very powerful. I can see that she did not choose this because she was worried about me. Faced with the powerful power at your fingertips, she decided to give up after careful consideration. This is not Ordinary mind." If you look at those people in the forbidden world who follow Ji Xing and want super powers, and then look at Arizawa Ryuki, you will know how strong this girl's heart is.
"That's not what I'm talking about, Yono-san, you know." Urahara Kisuke said: "Being able to share the blood of the soul, isn't this an ability similar to the holy writings given by Yhwach to his subordinates? When did Yoyo-san be able to do that? This step?”
"Oh, this, this is not difficult. You know that my Zanpakutō can originally split souls, and Stark is an expert in splitting souls." Isn't it difficult?
Urahara Kisuke muttered to himself, you told that girl that in recorded history, only two people truly have an innate soul.
One is the Spirit King. The soul is intact and the body is intact! The other one is Yohabach. The soul is intact but the body is missing!
Like Yhwach, every soul fragment contains powerful power. Urahara Kisuke knows what this means, and it is not missing from Ye Sang's body!
It seems that what Monk Yan said is not an exaggeration. With Ye Sang, you have more possibilities and opportunities to become another spiritual king than Yhwach.
He is not a wedge spirit king who stabilizes the three realms, but a powerful existence with the power to divide the three realms! Where are you... from?
"Let's go, let's continue playing cards." He did not say these inner thoughts, but said with a wicked smile: "Finally, I have a chance to win you while I am with Nosang and Hiyori."
"...What do you mean?!" Hiyori couldn't help but give him a kick.
"No, it's been all morning. It's time to change teams. Shall we split up again?" Ji Xing said with a last-ditch attack.
"Hello?!
"Hahaha..." The three of them went back with laughter and sat down at the card table again, shuffling the cards and grabbing them. Ji Xing suddenly said something casually.
"Monk hasn't been in Soul Society lately, has he? I'm planning to go back. Yhwach will naturally be unblocked in more than three months, but we have to wait until then and we're going to die. It's time to kill him." The three of them were stunned at the same time. For a moment.
Urahara Kisuke raised his head and smiled: "Yono-san is sure to catch him? That's great."
