This is not a simple 'sword granting ceremony', but a ceremony to announce that the war is about to begin. Yamamoto Genryu Rongyu wants to take this opportunity to let all the Shinigami, who are the main fighting force of Soul Society, understand that the days of peace will not last long.
.
"So, if you have decided, then make your choice? If you are afraid, or even give up on becoming the God of Death, that is your right."
The old man looked extremely serious, "Of course, if you choose to fight, then you must be prepared to sacrifice on the battlefield at any time."
After saying that, the venue fell into silence again.
The Shinigami who had just been awarded the Zanpakutō looked hesitantly at the captains standing in a row.
Which squad they join will determine their future destiny. Although each squad has its own responsibilities, once the war really breaks out, no squad can stay out of it. Even the fourth squad, which is responsible for treatment and supplies, will inevitably go to the front line for support.
, so no place is absolutely safe.
From this perspective, maybe quitting is the best option?
But who is willing to quit now? After finally passing the test and becoming a real god of death, it would be too embarrassing if he chose to give up in front of so many people.
They set their sights on Mari Kuchiki, who ranked first in grades, perhaps because they all wanted to use her choice as a reference.
But unfortunately, Mari Kuchiki didn't make any move. She just stood there with a frown on her face, seemingly still hesitating.
And her hesitation made everyone who looked at her even more worried, because as the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki clan, it was almost predetermined that she would join the sixth division, captained by Jun Kuchiki, the head of the Kuchiki clan, but now she hesitated
, which makes people feel that the situation has become more serious.
"Is she going to give up becoming the God of Death? No way..."
Someone was talking quietly.
"Not necessarily...if the war that is about to break out this time is really so cruel, maybe Captain Kuchiki will really let his daughter give up becoming a Shinigami for the sake of her safety."
"Forget it, forget it, these are none of our business, let's choose first, or join the fourth team together?"
"..."
Listening to the discussions of these students, Shiba Jinbei was speechless for a while.
"The old man will really cause trouble for us..."
He had said before that most people looked down on their Fourth Division, and they could enjoy their leisure time without recruiting people. Unexpectedly, now their Fourth Division had become the first choice.
"But...it seems good to really start a war, right?"
Xuan Hao on the side didn't care at all, and even had a smile on his face.
"You really... don't think it's a big deal to watch the fun..."
Of course Shiba Jinbei saw the smile on Xuanhao's face and felt a little helpless, but...
"I think it's not bad~"
"Hahaha."
The two looked at each other and hit it off immediately.
There is no way to practice faster than actual combat.
Xuan Hao needs to know more about the way people in this world fight before he can use this as a reference to start thinking about the path he wants to take.
Shiba Jinbei, because of his Zanpakutō, can only become stronger by fighting.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the Fourth Division is no longer the unit that was only responsible for treatment and supplies, because the captain and deputy captain are now worried about the world being in chaos.
"Forehead……"
At this moment, the fourth team was almost the focus of the entire venue, and the performance of Xuanhao and Shiba Jinbe was naturally noticed by everyone.
The person who wanted to join the fourth team panicked when he saw the strange smiles on the faces of the two captains, and stopped, "Why do you feel... something is not right?"
But when Mari Kuchiki saw this scene, an inexplicable look flashed in her eyes, and she began to become excited.
Sure enough, her guess was correct. Something had definitely changed in the Fourth Division. At least the rumored unreliable captain and the vice-captain without spiritual pressure were definitely not ordinary people.
She set her sights on Xuan Hao.
She couldn't feel any spiritual pressure from this man, but during the previous 'practical test', this man came behind her silently like a ghost.
You know, having no spiritual pressure does not mean that she cannot detect this person's movements. Ordinary souls also have no spiritual pressure, but every move of an ordinary soul cannot escape the perception of these gods of death.
Therefore, she judged that this man must have hidden his spiritual pressure in some way, and his own strength may be stronger than the captain of the fourth team. Otherwise, how could the captain obey the deputy captain?
"It's decided! Join the Fourth Division."
A smile appeared on Kuchiki Mari's face.
At this moment, she was absolutely sure that the Fourth Division was a place where dragons and tigers were hidden.
She wants to become stronger here and let her father recognize her. She wants to climb up step by step with her own strength and prove to everyone that her success is not because of her background in the Kuchiki family. She does not care about that.
Plant something!
??????
Two months later.
In the dojo used for training by S Lingting, the light of swords flashed like falling cherry blossoms.
The Senbonzakura in Mari Kuchiki's hands has begun to be released and is constantly attacking Shiba Jinbei.
"Relax your body and try to become one with your Zanpakutō."
Shiba Jinbei took the attack from the girl in front of him and guided the opponent to fight.
"..."
Xuan Hao stood silently watching the battle.
Integrating with the Zanpakutō? That's easy to say...
Until now, the Zanpakuto in his hand is still a "shallow attack" that has not yet been solved.
For the past two months, he has been observing the battle between these two people every day, trying to figure out some clues from their initial explanations, but unfortunately, there has been no progress at all.
He still couldn't communicate with Qian Da.
Not only that, during his stay in Soul Society, he learned almost all the Shinigami's cultivation methods, but none of these methods seemed to work on him.
The problem is not the method, but the obstruction of the power of those two laws.
"What a waste of effort..."
Xuan Hao sighed.
It seems that the fundamental problem still lies in the two forces of law. Destruction and rebirth are reincarnated in him, forming a perfect closed-loop structure. Nothing outside can affect him, which means that he cannot change his path and follow the path of death.
The path of spiritual practice.
It was a wrong decision from the beginning to want to master the soul power by referring to Death's practice method, because the path he wanted to take was destined to be different from Death's.
"What a waste of effort!?"
When Mari Kuchiki heard Xuanhao saying such words next to him, his hair suddenly exploded.
After all, this person has been watching her training. In her opinion, what else could this mean besides evaluating her?
"I'm not talking about you."
Xuanhao helplessly raised the dagger in his hand, "I'm talking about myself."
"Still can't figure it out?"
After Kuchiki Mari stopped attacking, Shiba Jinbei also turned his attention to Xuanhao.
"no way."
Xuan Hao spread his hands and said, "My situation seems a bit special."
"What's special?"
Shiba Jinbei was a little puzzled. Of course he knew the problem that had troubled this man for a long time.
Speaking of which, it seemed like he had encountered this man's situation for the first time.
In other words, it seems to be the first time it appears in Soul Society.
Generally speaking, people without spiritual pressure are destined to have no talent. It is normal to be unable to communicate with Zanpakutō. After all, even shinigami with some talent can communicate with shallow attacks and complete the first attack.
But you want to say that this man has no talent?
Are you kidding? Have you ever seen an untalented guy who can defeat a captain-level person?
He had fought Xuan Hao more than once and never won.
Although I don't know how much power this man hides, at least he is not weaker than himself. This man's strength cannot be measured by spiritual pressure.
Before understanding the situation, he had always thought that this man had a Zanpakutō, and had even unlocked it, but it was not in the form of a blade like himself, so he failed to discover it.
But after understanding the situation, he realized how terrifying this man was.
Such a powerful person has not even begun to understand! It is like this man is born to be one level higher than other gods of death, and is completely beyond one dimension!
A person who already has captain-level or above combat power without relying on his Zanpakutō in a normal state, how terrifying would he be if he had a first or even 'D-level'?
"What are you two talking about?"
Kuchiki Mari frowned and looked at Shiba Jinbei and then at Xuanhao.
"What do you mean? What is there no beginning to understand?"
"Oh...literally."
Xuan Hao sighed, "You also saw my Zanpakutō, it's still the original 'shallow attack', which means I don't even know how to use it now."
"Huh? Are you kidding!?"
Mari Kuchiki was stunned, "I remember that you are obviously better than... than the captain!"
It has been two months since she came to the Fourth Division, and she has a basic understanding of the situation in the team. For example, the strongest combat power in the Fourth Division now is not Shiba Jinbei, who is the captain, but the person who claims to be in front of her.
A guy who doesn't even know how to understand it himself.
Speaking of which... she seems to have never seen this guy take action... It's impossible that he really doesn't understand, right?
No, no, no, this is absolutely impossible!?
You know, Shiba Jinbei is already very strong among the Shinigami. The only ones who are stronger are the Shinigami who have mastered the 'D solution' like her father. She had always regarded this guy as a person of this level before, but now it's better.
, this guy suddenly said, "I haven't even begun to understand it yet."
Isn't this just a blow to people?
If they are so powerful without Shijie, wouldn't their Shijie seem like a joke?
It's like everyone has just graduated from Yuanzi School and hasn't received a "shallow beating" yet, but this classmate is already extremely capable of beating captain-level figures.
"Okay, girl, this guy is a monster, you can't envy him."
Shiba Jinbei sighed, looking down on everything.
He had become so accustomed to being hit that he was even numb. He originally thought that Captain Unohana was already a monster, but when he met this guy, he realized that he had been severely beaten by Captain Unohana before.
"We can't generalize between people. It's better for us to be ourselves honestly."
"Hmph, I wouldn't envy you."
Mari Kuchiki took back his Zanpakutō and hummed, "One day, I will surpass you."
"Oh? Does this mean that you want to take away my position as vice-captain?"
Xuan Hao chuckled and looked at the stubborn girl in front of him.
After two months of observation, he had probably figured out the relationship between this girl and the soul fragments.
The Zanpakutō is a manifestation of the soul. Each Zanpakutō has its own personality and is not just a weapon. However, the Zanpakutō may also change under the influence of its owner.
Generally speaking, the Zanpakutō will become more and more like its owner. Perhaps when the girl communicated with the Zanpakutō and carved into the soul essence, the soul fragments were carved into the Zanpakutō along with it. Thus.
It had some special influence on the Zanpakutō.
Therefore, Xuan Hao was able to sense the existence of the soul fragment only when the girl was beginning to understand.
In other words, this girl was the former host of the soul fragment, but for some special reason the fragment was transferred from this girl to her Zanpakutō.
Although he didn't know why this strange situation occurred, it was obvious that he had to take some care of both this girl and this Zanpakutō.
"snort."
Mari Kuchiki made a face, turned around and left the dojo.
"You seem to be quite interested in this child?"
Shiba Jinbei touched his chin and watched the interaction between the two, thoughtfully.
"It was the same during the actual combat assessment before. I didn't see you wanting to rescue the child even if it was a matter of life or death. Only when this child was in danger did I see you wanting to take action."
"well enough."
Xuan Hao lightly shrugged, making no secret of it, "I just think she looks a bit like the sister I'm looking for. A little care wouldn't be a big deal, right?"
"Oh...Okay.uu看书www.uukanshu.com"
Seemingly remembering something, Shiba Jinbei frowned, "But don't blame me for not reminding you. This kid survived Yhwach before. Although that guy didn't have any murderous intention at the time, he just wanted to use Hollow to solve the problem.
There’s no chance that guy will attack again if he finds out that the child is still alive.”
"Are you afraid that I can't beat that guy?"
Xuanhao smiled softly.
"I didn't know how strong you were."
Shiba Jinbei shook his head slightly, "But even Mr. Yamamoto, who is said to be the strongest in Soul Society, is not sure that he can deal with Yhwach, so it's better to be careful."
"Well, okay~"
Xuanhao thought for a while and nodded lightly.
Now it seems hard to say whether he will win or lose in a fight with Yhwach.
If he is fighting in the Soul Society, then all he can rely on is the power of law to protect the indestructible soul body. As for the 'Nibelung'? He tried it, but it seems that it can only scare the weaker souls. After all, this world
This is a world dominated by soul power. A top expert must be able to skillfully control soul power. Obviously, his use of soul power cannot compare with these guys who specialize in playing with souls.
However... if the battlefield was in the present world, that would be a different matter. He was sure that whether the opponent was Yhwach or not, he would have to be turned into a lapdog.
