Violent Reishi roamed across the yellow earth, while dark blue spiritual pressure gathered around Asano Kiyoshi like subjects paying homage to their sovereign.
Through the Reishi Image, the crowd gathered below Sōkyoku Hill saw the scene in its entirety. Their mouths fell open involuntarily, the image of that young man deeply etched into their minds.
At the same time, compared to the ordinary citizens who could only watch the spectacle, both the Kidō Corps and the Shinigami were left dumbfounded by Asano Kiyoshi's nearly terrifying command over Reishi.
If they had not seen wrongly just now, when Yoshida Tomoya had yet to make his move, Asano Kiyoshi had already inferred the Kido number Yoshida Tomoya was about to use from the changes in the Reishi around his hand. He had even deduced the amount of Reishi it would contain and the degree of output.
And the instant he completed that analysis, Asano Kiyoshi had already fulfilled the conditions needed to form an Anti-Kido Kill against the Kido Yoshida Tomoya was about to release!
Anyone could say such things, but one had to remember that Asano Kiyoshi was facing the current Chief Kido Master! Though only an acting Chief Kido Master, he was undeniably one of the very best Kido Masters in the Soul Society.
To use an almost humiliating technique like Anti-Kido Kill against a Kido Master of that level, one's mastery of Kido had to surpass Yoshida Tomoya's by a vast margin!
Captain-Commander watched the scene with a faint smile on his face.
If one wished to succeed as Captain-Commander, being gentle all the time would never make one's subordinates obey. Sometimes, one had to blaze like the scorching sun, even if it blinded a few people!
Watching Asano Kiyoshi's contemptuous tone and bearing, Yoshida Tomoya's composure was shattered
