Chapter 561 Arisawa Ryuki

Present, Karakura Town, Four Towns.

"Getsuga Tensho!"

A silver-white crescent with a sky-blue arc cut through the sky with a cracking spiritual pressure. The Hollow, which was more than ten meters tall and looked terrifying, but was actually just a small caramel, was killed on the spot without any suspense.

Ichigo, who was walking in the air, looked at the dissipated Hollow and stretched his muscles and body with an unsatisfied look.

A year and a half had passed since his trip to Soul Society. His life had changed a lot, mainly because he was granted the right to act as a Shinigami agent and had a "public office".

In addition to studying, he took on the work of guarding Karakura Town. Although it was a bit busy, he was happy with it. In the process of training and practice, his strength was no longer the same as before, and he had more confidence to protect his friends and family.

As for why he had to use Getsuga Tensho to kill an ordinary Hollow... Maybe he wanted to have a sense of ritual in the first battle of the new year?

It felt a bit uncomfortable without using Bankai.

"Huh... Is it because when I saw Rukia last time, she said that the atmosphere in Soul Society is getting a little tense because of that Yhwach, which makes me a little uneasy?" Ichigo exhaled lightly, shook his head, and put his Zanpakutō back on his back.

"Let's go to Mr. Hirakawa later."

Just as he turned around and prepared to return home by instant walking, he found a girl looking at him in the form of a Shinigami spirit from a distance on the corner of the street.

The girl wore an open-chested white coat, lined with a black coat with golden stars on the chest. She had a slender figure, a heroic face, and light blue hair draped over her shoulders. She held a one-handed bag in her hand and threw it over her right shoulder in a very handsome manner.

"Hey, Ichigo!" Seeing Ichigo looking at her, she raised her hand and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Hey, Ryuki." Ichigo scratched his head, made sure there was no one around, and instantly walked to the girl.

Arisawa Ryuki, a classmate of Ichigo, Orihime and others, was also a childhood sweetheart of Ichigo, and they knew each other when they were four years old.

Because she was unconsciously influenced 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.

"You're busy on the second day of the New Year." She said with a smile, "It's really hard."

"The Hollows won't celebrate our New Year." Ichigo smiled helplessly, "But you, Ryuki, are you... going to the gym?"

"Ah, it's really boring to stay at home, so I'll go over there. It shouldn't be closed, right?"

"Well, I'll notify you when it's closed." Ichigo thought for a while and said, "I'll probably go over there after lunch. Do you need me to bring you a meal?"

"Thank you!" Ryuki said happily.

"No, you're welcome."

The two chatted about the new semester again, and then separated. Ichigo disappeared in a flash step. Arisawa Ryuki walked past the place where Ichigo had just killed the Hollow, looked back, and suddenly sighed softly.

"It's really amazing. That kind of monster was killed with just one casual blow."

In fact, after knowing the situation of Orihime Chad and others, she tried to become a member of the Fullbringer, but unfortunately it was completely unsuccessful.

She could see the spirit only because of Ichigo's spiritual pressure. She did not have the foundation for the Fullbring in her body - the fragments of the Soul King's internal organs.

As for becoming a Death God, it was even more impossible.

Although friends would not have a gap because of these things, Arisawa Ryuki was actually a bit like Ichigo in character, and even more competitive. When she thought of Ichigo and his friends going through all kinds of dangers, and she couldn't even participate, the girl would naturally feel unwilling in her heart.

She could only practice karate, which she had learned since childhood and made Ichigo cry in his childhood. In the high school karate competition a few months ago, she won the women's championship and even KOed the runner-up in 30 seconds. Her strength was almost comparable to that of the men's group.

But this is not the world of science. The women's karate champion can only run away when facing an ordinary hollow like the one Ichigo just killed.

After that, she thought that maybe learning some weapons would make a difference, and soon learned about a kendo hall that Ichigo often went to.

‘Hirakawa Kendo Hall’!

He walked to the dojo with a rather annoying feeling. Looking at the plaque above and the small door, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.

This kendo hall does not teach any of the mainstream Japanese kendo, and its location is also inconspicuous, but after studying here for a few months, Arisawa Tatsuki confirmed that this place is a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers gather.

Or in other words, this is the base where humans and death gods with extraordinary powers gather.

Kendo instructor Ichimaru Gin, with his outstanding appearance and mysterious aura, is very popular with female students, but Arisawa Tatsuki once saw him and a particularly exaggerated blonde female death god behave intimately, suspected to be lovers, and speculated that he should also be a powerful death god.

Kendo instructor Stark is a handsome uncle with a particularly naughty daughter, and the child once smashed the wall with a punch.

Nakamura Sukugoroku, who is the owner of the gym in name but more like a housekeeper, also confirmed with Chadu that he was the teacher of the Perfection.

Many people who come and go are extraordinary. Long Gui can feel the terrifying spiritual pressure released from their bodies that can suffocate or even kill him.

As for the core of all this, which is also the origin of the name of the kendo gym, Hirakawa Koki, Long Gui can't see any extraordinary things. He only showed the basics of karate when he first entered the gym, and he gave him two pointers, and he was very sharp. It is impossible to judge what level he is. In short, he is better than all the teachers she has seen and followed, much better!

Except for a few people, such as the short female shinigami with blond hair and braids who punched and kicked Hirakawa Kouki every time he came to the gym, including those two obviously extraordinary teachers, they all respected him.

From Ichigo's words, Ryuuki was described as 'how strong he is', and 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 bother 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 them 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 taking 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 signal that he didn't have to, and took half the cup of warm water. Suddenly, his thumb and index finger on his right hand moved. He opened a scar with his spiritual power, and a drop of blood splashed into the cup!

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 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 ‘bloody 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. Hirakawa."

Ji Xing said: "First you have to understand the source of this power and the use of this glass of blood.

Classmate Long Gui, you must have seen Hollows quite often. They come in all shapes and sizes, but all Hollows have one thing in common, the Hollow. "

Long Gui nodded slightly. She had noticed that all virtual bodies would have a round, transparent hole somewhere in the body, as if a part of the body was missing out of thin air.

"After death, the soul turns into a whole body, which 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 emptiness."

Ji Xing said: "This is common sense, but few people care about the source of that 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 unsatisfactory.

In other words, most of our human souls have innate deficiencies, more or less, which usually do not affect anything. However, after death, those with more deficiencies are more likely to become void, while those with fewer deficiencies have a greater chance of becoming the god of death. . "

Long Gui showed a thoughtful expression: "The vast majority? In other words, there are still people who are not born with defects? Perfectionists like Inoue?"

Ji Xing smiled and said: "It's good to draw inferences from one example, but it's a different matter for those who have perfected the art. They have deficiencies, but they are made up by some external object to become a perfect state. That is also the most important inducement of power.

There are very few people who are born flawless, or in other words, only two people can be confirmed to be flawless in recorded history. You don't need to understand this in detail.

Talking about the glass of blood in front of you, it 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 give you 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 considered a gift, it is just a loan. I can take back the power given to you at any time. Of course, it will not threaten your life, and I will not use this power to force you." What do you do?”

Arizawa Ryuuki was silent in thought.

"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 broken and you will embark on an unknown road.

I can’t predict the power you awaken, but according to the emptiness in your heart, it is likely to be some kind of auxiliary ability that can help your companions. Of course, it may also be a high-attack ability that specifically strengthens your combat power and makes you as strong as expected. "

Arisawa Ryuki stared at the cup of blood wine, his head half drooped, and the girl's eyes were bright.

Drink it, I can have powerful power and fighting power like Ichigo!

But she thought for a few minutes, and Ji Xing also waited for her quietly. In the end, Arisawa Ryuki raised his hand, but put it down again, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, I choose 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 last time Inoue Chad was brought back from the Soul Society safely, I have to thank you.

It's just... I have been hesitating all the time. When the time comes, I still choose to retreat, or not to cause trouble for Ichigo and the others. It's true that I want to fight side by side with them, but perhaps a large part of it is my competitive emotion of "not wanting to lose".

Since you don't have that kind of luck, don't force yourself to join their camp. What's more, there are parents and family members. I can't let them worry! "

"Are you sure?"

"Are you sure!"

Ji Xing picked up the blood wine and drank it all.

Arisawa Ryuki stood up, bowed heavily to Ji Xing, and said: "Sorry, I'm causing you trouble. If you're okay, I'll go to the private practice room to continue practicing kendo."

"It's okay. If you regret it, you can always come to me." Ji Xing shook his head and sent her out.

After Arisawa Ryuki nodded again and apologized, he walked into the private practice room. Ji Xing, who was standing at the door of the tea room, stretched out his hand to the right and tore it.

As if an invisible curtain was lifted, the highly condensed spiritual barrier was torn apart by him, and the figures of Urahara Kisuke and the other two appeared.

"Hahaha." Ye Yi laughed and said: "I said that Urahara, your little trick can't be hidden from Yono. ”

Hiyori looked at her nose and her heart, snorted and said, "I told you not to eavesdrop, but you idiot dragged me here, and we were discovered!"

Urahara Kisuke smiled and didn't care, just praised: "So amazing."

"Are you talking about me or Longgui?" Ji Xing smiled and said, "She is really amazing. I can see that she didn't choose this way because she was worried about me. Faced with powerful power at her fingertips, she decided to give up after careful consideration. This is not an ordinary mind. "

Look at those people in the Magical Index who followed Ji Xing and wanted superpowers, and then look at Arisawa Longgui, and you will know how strong this girl's heart is.

"I'm not talking about this, 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 text given to his subordinates by Yhwach? When did Yono-san achieve this step? "

"Oh, this, this is not difficult. You know that my Zanpakuto can originally split the soul, and Stark is an expert in splitting the soul. ”

Isn’t it easy? Urahara Kisuke thought to himself, you told that girl that in the history, there are only two people who have perfect souls.

One is the Soul King.

The soul is perfect and the body is perfect!

The other is Yhwach.

The soul is perfect but the body is missing!

Like Yhwach, every soul fragment contains powerful power. Urahara Kisuke knows what this means very well, and Yono-san’s body is not missing!

It seems that what the monk said is not exaggerated. Yono-san has more possibilities and opportunities to become another Soul King than Yhwach.

Not the wedge Soul King who stabilizes the three realms, but the strongest 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 words in his heart, but said with a smirk: “I finally got a chance to win you by taking advantage of Yono-san and Hiyori’s group.”

“…What do you mean? ! "Hiyori couldn't help but kick him.

"No, it's been a whole morning, it's time to change teams, let's divide again?" Ji Xing added.

"Hey? ! ! "

"Hahaha..."

The three of them went back with laughter and sat at the card table again. They shuffled and drew cards. Ji Xing suddenly said something as if chatting casually.

"The monk is not in Soul Society recently, right? I'm going to go back. Yhwach will be unsealed naturally in more than three months, but if we have to wait until then, it would be stupid. We should kill him."

The three of them were stunned at the same time.

Urahara Kisuke looked up and smiled: "Is Yono-san sure to catch him? That's great."
