Ryūsaki gave Tsukishima a look, and he immediately understood and stepped forward to bow, indicating that they also wanted to become Vassal of the Kuchiki Clan.
Hongyun had a relatively positive view of Ginjo, given his considerable strength, but he was less inclined to accept the two immature children and wanted to enroll them in the asylum established by the Kuchiki Clan.
At the critical moment, Ryūsaki unleashed another move, condensing Reishi with his own Reiryoku to form a sphere resembling an outward projection of Reiryoku.
Tsukishima then used the power of his Fullbring to pierce through a rock by taking a tree branch.
Hongyun was stunned. He was overjoyed but also doubtful. How could so many outstanding talents appear all at once...? However, after only a few moments of hesitation, he agreed to let Ryūsaki and Tsukishima join him.
As Hongyun thought, even if these three guys had some bad intentions, they wouldn't be able to cause any major trouble in the Seireitei.
Furthermore, according to the Kuchiki Clan's rules, Vassal who fail the Kuchiki Clan's tests will be exiled to the most remote Rukongai.
As for Ryūsaki and the other two, they were definitely grateful to Young Master Hongyun. They hadn't even considered taking any Vassal exams, because entering the Seireitei was a success for them.
In the evening, after inspecting the shelter, Hongyun led Ryūsaki and the other two back to the Beileng Gate. Danzōmaru simply greeted Hongyun and let them enter the Seireitei.
The actions of the Great Nobles are none of their concern, and these lowly Soul Reapers dare not interfere.
Upon arriving at the Kuchiki Clan's palatial mansion, after circling around a dozen times and passing through a dozen gates, Ryūsaki and the other two were settled in a small side courtyard where the Servants lived.
They were also instructed to report for assembly first thing tomorrow morning to prepare for systematic learning.
As night fell, the three people in the same room got up and gathered together. Ginjo used Fullbring to Sealing the sounds in the room and dialed Inaba Kage's communicator to ask for the approximate location of the Research and Development Institute.
The three set off under cover of night, and after dodging the night patrols, they finally approached the Research and Development Institute.
Just when they thought it was a stealthy infiltration, the sound of Reishi bombs came from afar, followed by the piercing sound of clappers echoing throughout the entire Seireitei.
"Damn bastard, why did you send people to cause trouble?" Ginjo cursed into the already connected communicator.
"Sending people to cause trouble? I'm helping you! Our mole in the Research and Development Institute just said that the Captain of the Twelfth Division is personally handling the research on your comrade." Inaba Kage's mocking voice rang out.
"What?! Damn it..."
Ginjo roared and hung up the communicator, then stopped concealing himself and immediately stormed into the Research and Development Institute.
The Third Layer of the Research and Development Institute houses Mayuri Kurotsuchi's private anatomical analysis room.
Those bottles and jars filled with green liquid contained all sorts of experimental Specimens... human tissue, ethereal objects, Arrancar, and even weapons covered in flesh and blood—it was all incredibly bizarre.
"Wow~ What an amazing ability! Is this Fullbring?"
Mayuri Kurotsuchi dissected a particular specimen using various instruments, he muttered to himself, clearly very interested in it.
"Let me see the source of your power... Wow, this is... this is..."
"Mayuri Kurotsuchi, enemies have invaded."
Just as Mayuri Kurotsuchi discovered something, his adjutant Nemu Kurotsuchi, burst in, interrupting his excitement.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's smile vanished abruptly. He turned his angry profile to Nemu, who had barged in, and said, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me? Intruders are nothing; those brute-force guys can handle them."
"Mayuri Kurotsuchi, three intruders are currently attacking the Research and Development Institute, and their target appears to be this area..."
"Haha, it's them! I don't know how they found out, but I guess it's to save their comrades."
As Nemu explained again, Mayuri Kurotsuchi's anger gradually subsided, and when he saw the short clip of surveillance footage Nemu showed him, Mayuri Kurotsuchi was already excited.
He recognized the three people in the surveillance footage; they were none other than Kūgo Ginjō, the Substitute Soul Reaper, and his few underling subordinates.
Just when he was worried about not having enough experimental materials for comparison, this came to him... In Mayuri Kurotsuchi's mind, there was basically no right or wrong; he only cared about whether technology could bring him a true leap forward.
Therefore, even knowing that Kitahara Ginjo's comrade, he did not stop dissecting with his scalpel...
Tsukishima's Book of the End killed several researchers. Upon learning that the Third Layer below was the dissection room, the three of them pushed their way in until they were confronted by a strangely shaped figure wearing a white haori.
Tsukishima whispered in Ginjo's ear, "The Captain of the Twelfth Division, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, according to the intelligence, should be the one who's cutting Kitahara- nii."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi hearing, exclaimed, "Wow, you've already gathered my information so quickly?"
Ginjo pointed his sword at him. "What have you done to Kitahara?"
Mayuri Kurotsuchi was silent for a moment, then gave a strange smile, turned his back to the three of them, and tempted them, "Want to know? Then come with me!"
Crack!
Suddenly, a red Chains emerged from the ground and wrapped around Mayuri Kurotsuchi's foot. The Paralysis effect of Fullbring activated, rendering Mayuri Kurotsuchi unable to move. He was immediately alarmed: 'Can't move? What kind of ability is this?'
Ryūsaki shouted to the two, "This guy is dangerous. He's manipulating the mechanisms here to suppress our Reiatsu. Let's take him down now!"
"Asshole."
Ginjo suddenly realized what was happening and immediately swung his Greatsword at Mayuri Kurotsuchi. At that moment, a graceful figure appeared from his side, seemingly holding an electric drill, and lunged directly at Ginjo's head.
Ginjo dodged to the side, raising his sword to block. His lower left abdomen was exposed, and he was then slapped sideways by a fair and delicate leg. Only after he was far away did Ginjo realize that the electric drill was actually the woman's hand.
"Mayuri Kurotsuchi!"
The person who came was none other than Nemu Kurotsuchi. Originally, she was supposed to go around to the back of Ryūsaki and the others to close the door and trap them, but Ryūsaki acted too decisively. Seeing that Mayuri Kurotsuchi was in danger, she chose to disobey orders and did not close the door.
Whoosh!
Ryūsaki's Chains came at her, Nemu dodged them with her agile movements. Then, after getting close to Mayuri Kurotsuchi, she used a power drill to break the Chains and free him.
"I didn't expect these kids to be so clever; they almost caused a disaster. I won't pursue your disobedience this time."
"Thank you Mayuri Kurotsuchi- sama."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi Nemu's act of rescuing him. With outsmarting them clearly out of the question, he drew his Zanpakuto; from now on, he would have no choice but to forcefully defeat the three of them.
Inaba Kage dispatched a total of seven Reigai, and the moment they safely appeared in Soul Society, Inaba Kage knew that his work was a success.
Those Togabito can move and fight in the same way they were before they were corrupted by the miasma of Hell, and with the help of the Reigai, their power is also enhanced.
Of the seven Reigai released into Soul Society this time, the strongest is Azashiro Sōya. The others also possess considerable strength, such as the two Togabito, Kokuto and Shuren, who were brought up from the fifth level of Hell by Aizen.
The other four were no pushovers either. After undergoing a powerful transformation in Hell, they were brimming with confidence and went on a killing spree upon arriving at Seireitei.
Until they encountered someone... a guy who was so powerful that he acted without hesitation— Kenpachi Zaraki, who instantly annihilated the three Reigai.
He remained motionless, releasing Reiatsu that formed a golden pillar of light shooting into the sky, proclaiming his immense power.
"Kenpachi Zaraki? Just what I was looking for!"
Azashiro's gaze darkened, and he slowly blended into the building, heading towards Kenpachi Zaraki's location.
The Togabito didn't come to Soul Society just to help Ginjo, as Inaba Kage claimed. Their primary goal was to assess the fighting strength of the Gotei 13.
But Azashiro's measurement target was only one person: Kenpachi Zaraki!
Aizen already knew that Kenpachi Zaraki had learned Shikai, but whether he had learned Bankai was still unknown. Azashiro's main task was to force Kenpachi Zaraki Bankai.
When he arrived, Azashiro had confidently vowed to kill Zaraki...
