Chapter 82
Especially the next sentence that Tokoyo Misao said:
"With only about 60% balance, it's already possible to break through to the Third-Class Spiritual Pressure."
If I consume some higher-quality illusory energy to achieve perfect balance, reaching the Second-Class Spiritual Pressure will be no problem.
It should be noted that Mashiro Kuna was only at the Fourth-Class Spiritual Pressure, so the difference Fourth Class and second levels doesn't seem significant.
However, the real difference might be like comparing a river to the ocean, which are not even on the same level of discussion.
Even someone like Shinji Hirako, who has cultivated for hundreds of years and served as a team leader for over a century, only reaches the Second-Class Spiritual Pressure, not even at the peak.
Not to mention the other three captains beside them, all of whom were at the Third-Class Spiritual Pressure.
Mashiro Kuna did not continue to fight Tokoyo Misao.
She put one hand on her hip, extended her right hand, pointed to the right side of Kensei Muguruma, and hooked her finger:
"Come!"
His arrogant posture and disdainful tone made everyone who heard it turn their gaze to Kensei Muguruma.
Reversing the Heavenly Gang!
Kensei Muguruma's forehead veins bulged as he clenched his fists and walked into the arena.
"You're really asking for it!"
He wiped his face with his right hand, revealing a mask, and rushed forward, unleashing a punch at Mashiro Kuna accompanied by a fierce whistling wind.
Mashiro Kuna cleaved his right palm into a knife shape and slashed at the side of the fist with a snap, deflecting it.
But at that moment, Kensei Muguruma's other fist also came at him.
Mashiro Kuna cleaved it open again with his palm strike.
"Hahaha, too weak, too weak, Kensei, you're just too weak."
Mashiro Kuna kept cleaving through Kensei Muguruma's fists, letting out joyful shouts.
"You bastard, I'll never hold back again!"
Kensei Muguruma unleashed his full Reiatsu.
A perfectly standard Third-Class Spiritual Pressure!
His fists bounced back and forth like a ball, continuously striking out.
"Ora ora ora ora!"
"Wood big wood big wood big wood big!"
Tokoyo Misao had already walked to the sidelines, watching the two fight and nodding repeatedly.
"It must be said that Mashiro Kuna has a very high talent for Hakuda, and possesses a beast-like intuition."
"On the contrary, Kensei's moves are a bit too formulaic. Is this a fusion of World of the Living boxing techniques?"
"That's right, Kensei did spend a lot of time practicing World of the Living boxing."
After all, back in the World of the Living, he worked as a laborer at the docks; how could that meager income be enough?
Occasionally, I also have to go to underground boxing rings to fight in black boxing matches.
Lisa Yadōmaru responded softly from the side.
Misao felt sorry for Kensei for a second. He's such a hardworking man, no wonder he has XP tattooed on his body.
Lisa's gaze was fixed on Mashiro Kuna; she had to admit, his growth was quite impressive.
She raised her head slightly and said, "You just said you gave all the Reishi Orb to Mashiro Kuna, right?"
"That's right, these are all the things I've collected in the World of the Living the years." Tokoyo Misao nodded.
"If we want to continue the search in the World of the Living and achieve balance for all of us, it would take hundreds of years. We should just go to Hueco Mundo."
Lisa looked around at her companions and offered her advice.
Her meaning was quite clear.
The Visoreds need to accompany Tokoyo Misao to Hueco Mundo to collect high-quality Hollows to create Reishi Orbs.
"Hueco Mundo?" Hirako frowned.
Despite wearing Visored, they have no ability to tear open the Garganta and travel to Hueco Mundo.
Moreover, as a former captain, Hirako had participated in the Hueco Mundo Expedition and knew much more about the place than the other members present.
That place is not a good tourist destination; it's extremely dangerous.
But given the current situation, we have no choice but to take the risk.
Hirako looked at the person on the side and said seriously, "Boss Misao, what conditions are required for you to make these Reishi Orbs?"
"It's very simple. Once I defeat a Hollow and render it incapable of resisting, I can disassemble it and reassemble it into a pure Hollow power bead."
Misao smiled as he spoke, "Given your needs, if you can defeat Adjuchas- level monster, one will be enough."
"What is Adjuchas?" Hiyori Sarugaki asked, tilting her head.
At this moment, she stood at attention, looking at Tokoyo Misao with no hostility, only the appearance of a humble student seeking knowledge.
After witnessing Mashiro Kuna's improvement, Hiyori was completely convinced of Misao.
"To be honest, none of you have ever been to Hueco Mundo, and your knowledge of it is limited to textbooks. It's understandable that you don't know about Adjuchas."
Hirako spoke with a forced smile.
Even the other two captains, Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi and Love Aikawa, were listening attentively.
The two of them hadn't been captains for very long; they were Hirako's juniors.
Hirako explained to Hiyori, "How do you teach Menos Grande in your textbooks at the Shin'ō Academy of Spiritual Arts?"
He'd been captain for quite a while, so he didn't know how far the textbooks at the Spirit Arts Academy had been updated.
After a moment's thought, Hiyori replied, "Only Royal Guard can handle the Menos Grande; even the captain would be in danger against them."
"That's true and that's not true either; this textbook is too general." Hirako began his on-the-spot instruction.
"The Menos Grande are actually divided into three ranks: Gillian, Adjuchas, and Vasto Lorde."
"Remember that Garganta that opened up in the sky above the shopping district that day? The Menos Grande that came out of it was Gillian."
Hirako was referring to Masaki Kurosaki climbing onto the roof of the shopping district and using chaotic power to kill that mountain-like Hollow.
The commercial street itself is not too far from the crushing plant.
Moreover, the Garganta that was torn open was incredibly large.
The sheer power and pressure emanating from their entrance were immediately noticed by the Visored.
"Is that thing Menos Grande?" Hiyori frowned.
She felt that if she unleashed her full power, she could defeat a Menos Grande.
There's absolutely no need for Royal Guard.
"That's right, but that's just the most basic Gillian. There must be hundreds of thousands of those in Hueco Mundo."
Shinji Hirako recalled what he had witnessed during the Hueco Mundo expedition.
The Gillian can be considered one of the most fundamental Hollows in the entire Hueco Mundo, and their numbers are numerous.
Upon hearing this, Hiyori's eyes widened in disbelief:
"Baldy, are you out of your mind? There are hundreds of thousands of guys like that."
This is equivalent to saying that in Hueco Mundo, there are at least hundreds of thousands of Hollows at the vice- Captain-level.
Are you kidding me?
The entire Gotei 13 only has a few vice-captains; even including some promising Seated Officers, there are no more than a hundred.
A hundred people versus hundreds of thousands—the difference is unimaginable.
"Who would actually count them? I'm just saying there are a lot. Anyway, I saw tens of thousands."
Hirako pursed his lips.
He ended up in the Forest of Menos by sheer luck.
As far as the eye could see, there was no end to it; it was filled with countless Gillian.
"Some Gillian evolve into Adjuchas. The reason for this was unknown before, but now I think it must be due to the evolution achieved through these Hollows devouring each other."
Having obtained the power of the Visored and witnessed Mashiro Kuna grow by absorbing the Hollow power Reishi Orb, those present understood that Hollows were indeed much more convenient than Soul Reaper in terms of growth potential.
Soul Reaper cannot achieve significant growth simply by absorbing Reishi.
Therefore, Adjuchas is very strong.
Hirako spoke, his expression somewhat grim.
He almost died in the jaws of an Adjuchas back then.
Of course, I will never say this now, otherwise Hiyori will laugh at me.
But when his longtime colleagues saw his expression, they immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.
Even the usually noisy Hiyori understood, and she asked:
"Baldy, the Vasto Lorde you're talking about, could it be something that these Adjuchas gained power from devouring each other?"
"I really didn't know that, after all, I've never met Vasto Lorde, you know, Boss Misao."
Hirako looked at Tokoyo Misao, who usually seemed quite unreliable.
But when it comes to matters of life and death, he still maintains a high level of composure.
If you don't know something, just say you don't know. Never spread false information or mislead team members' judgment.
Misao nodded. "Vasto Lorde are born that way. Of course, Hollows have the potential to evolve by absorbing other things, Adjuchas might also be able to become Vasto Lorde through this."
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "You don't seem to have met Kenpachi Zaraki and Tōshirō Hitsugaya, do you?"
"I've heard their names: a beast and a genius," Hirako replied.
"To put it simply, Kenpachi Zaraki is First-Class Spiritual Pressure, while Tōshirō is somewhat inferior."
Tokoyo Misao finished speaking, the clattering sound of hands colliding in the background immediately stopped.
"What a joke, a born First-Class Spiritual Pressure?" Kensei Muguruma walked over, panting heavily.
At this Mashiro Kuna was also exhausted and lay on the ground.
Kensei Muguruma managed to maintain his former captain's dignity and managed to wear down Mashiro Kuna until he collapsed.
However, Misao could tell that Mashiro Kuna hadn't exhausted his strength at all; he was deliberately lying on the ground panting.
Kensei walked to the side, picked up a towel, wiped all the sweat from his face, and said again, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Of course not. That guy even sealed his power down to the Third Class because he loved fighting but couldn't find any opponents."
However, he fought with me last time, and now he's back to peak level two.
After Misao finished speaking, he held up one finger:
"Vasto Lorde of Hueco Mundo and Kenpachi Zaraki are both born with First-Class Spiritual Pressure."
As for whether they reached their peak, there should be differences between individuals.
Hiss... Everyone in the Visored couldn't help but gasp.
They were born with First-Class Spiritual Pressure; even if all of them went up, they might not be able to defeat them.
"Is Hueco Mundo really this dangerous?" Lisa murmured.
Everyone is now wondering whether or not to set off for Hueco Mundo.
"What are you thinking about? Are you just going to avoid the danger? Are you just going to give up on Aizen?"
Hiyori clenched her fists and scanned her companions around her.
Even if you don't go, I'm going!
"I will absolutely not let Aizen get away with this!"
"Idiot, I definitely have to go, but I need to be prepared." Hirako sighed and looked at Misao, saying, "Boss Misao, how much time do you have left?"
