With This Divine Technique, Invincibility Is Within Reach

Inside the hospital.

Kurosaki Ichigo dragged Kanonji along at a dead run, dashing into a dilapidated corridor.

Kanonji, meanwhile, was speechless. He still hadn't figured out who this boy who had suddenly appeared was, or why he was dragging him along in a frantic sprint.

Besides, that unknown monster was still outside; how could he just run away?

"Boy, why are we running? That monster is still out there, the audience will be in danger! Let go of me, quickly!"

Kurosaki Ichigo stopped in his tracks and tossed Kanonji aside, his eyes scanning the surroundings with vigilance!

"If you don't want to die, get out of the way."

Let me run?

Kanonji was stunned, but then his expression turned somewhat solemn: "Anyone else can run, but I absolutely cannot."

"Why?"

"Because I am... a hero!"

Kanonji said with a grave expression: "My show has a viewership rating as high as twenty-five percent, which means one out of every four people is watching. Moreover, most of these viewers are children. The children cheer at my activities, and by seeing me face evil spirits, they learn what courage is!"

When he first heard the word "hero," Kurosaki Ichigo had been speechless, but after hearing Kanonji's words, his expression couldn't help but turn solemn as he thought of his younger sister, Yuzu Kurosaki.

Just as Kanonji said, his performance allowed those innocent children to understand what courage meant.

"So, boy, in their eyes, I absolutely cannot flee."

Ichigo didn't respond, suddenly feeling that he might have been wrong to dismiss this show as a mere comedy program.

"Well said!" A loud shout rang out, and Wu Biao emerged from behind, excitedly patting Kanonji on the shoulder: "As expected of the Kanonji-sensei I admire. You are a hero. Please, you must let me accompany you so that evil monster can face the judgment of justice, wahahaha!"

After saying this, Brother Biao didn't forget to add one of Kanonji's signature poses.

"..." Kurosaki Ichigo's mouth twitched. He finally realized that Brother Biao's intelligence was on the same level as those little kids!

"That's right, boy!" Seeing the admiration in Wu Biao's eyes, Kanonji's solemnity vanished instantly, and he laughed triumphantly: "I am a hero, your hero! However, exorcism is very dangerous. Have you truly made up your mind?"

"I fear no danger!" Wu Biao's face was full of resolve.

"Then, can you see him?" Kanonji nodded, then pointed at Ichigo standing to the side.

Wu Biao nodded, looked at Ichigo, and said: "Reporting to sensei, I see him! A yellow-haired evil spirit. Shall I exorcise him?" Having said that, the guy looked eager to try, clearly already fully immersed in the role.

"..." Kurosaki Ichigo's mouth twitched. I'll "evil spirit" your face. Can you please turn down your chuunibyou levels?

"As expected, our meeting was no coincidence! Since you can see him, it means you also possess spiritual power. This is a fated encounter!" Kanonji was overjoyed upon hearing this, giving Wu Biao a thumbs-up with a flash of his teeth.

"That's right, a fated encounter!" Wu Biao also extended a thumb, grinning foolishly with his mouth wide open.

"Boy, I pay tribute to your courage, so please, assist me!" Kanonji extended his palm toward Wu Biao.

Slap—

Wu Biao shook it immediately: "Understood, Mr. Kanonji!"

"Thank you! From today on... you are my top disciple!"

"Sensei!"

"Boy!"

As the saying goes, it was a meeting of kindred spirits. The two were already teary-eyed, and in the blink of an eye, they were hugging each other, shedding youthful and passionate tears. The dim hospital corridor background seemed to transform into a bright spotlight.

So blinding...

Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but cover his face. He suddenly felt that ever since he started watching Kanonji's show, Brother Biao's chuunibyou levels had broken through to a whole new dimension!

And also...

"The urgent matter right now shouldn't be exchanging master-disciple sentiments, should it? There's still a Hollow out there!" The tense atmosphere, which had been ruined by this master-disciple ceremony, vanished instantly...

"Ah, right!" Kanonji finally remembered that there was a monster waiting outside, and he looked at Wu Biao with a solemn expression: "My disciple, follow your master and let us exorcise the demon!"

"Yes, Kanonji-sensei!"

"..."

Kurosaki Ichigo grabbed his hair fiercely. I'll "demon" your face.

Is this hospital actually an infectious psychiatric ward?

These two guys have definitely been infected!

And it's already in the terminal stage...

However, just as the two idiots who were busy flashing their "light" turned around, Ichigo dragged them back: "Can you two stop making things worse? That Hollow seeks out people with high spiritual power. Even if we don't go looking for it, it will come looking for us!"

"Ah, that's true!" Wu Biao touched his chin and nodded: "It's on the floor right below us. It should be preparing to rush up!"

"Brother Biao, dare you tell me when exactly you sensed that?"

"From the very beginning!"

Kurosaki Ichigo exploded, glaring at Wu Biao with veins popping on his forehead: "Then why didn't you say so earlier? Or you could have just gone and wiped it out yourself! Why did you have to come over here!!!"

Wu Biao blinked his eyes: "I saw you all running this way, so I just followed!"

"..."

BOOM—

At that moment, a small mound first bulged on the ground before exploding outward. The Hollow, which looked just like a toad, leaped out and lunged directly at the three of them: "Let me eat!!!"

Kurosaki Ichigo's expression darkened. He drew his Zanpakuto instantly, but it jammed directly into the wall.

Damn it... it's too narrow here, I can't swing the Zanpakuto!

"My disciple, let your master teach you your first lesson!" Seeing this, Kannonji stepped directly in front of Ichigo and clenched his fist tightly. A faint blue glow emerged from his palm as the spiritual pressure in the air began to converge.

"This is..." A look of shock couldn't help but flash across Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes.

"Ah—oh—" Kannonji then dropped into a wide horse stance, his face contorting into an expression like he was struggling to defecate, while he let out a howl like a slaughtered pig.

"Holy crap... could this be..." Wu Biao's eyes widened, and a bead of cold sweat even trickled down his temple.

Brother Biao knows what this is?

Seeing this, Ichigo couldn't help but look toward Wu Biao.

"Could this be... burning his Cosmo!" Wu Biao said with eyes shining.

"..." Kurosaki Ichigo's mouth twitched: "Don't go stealing settings from other anime, you jerk. Don't forget I was there when we watched Saint Seiya!!!"

"Take this! Kannon-style Ultimate Technique—Kannonji-dan!" Kannonji took a large step forward and thrust his palm out suddenly. Light flashed instantly, and then... a spiritual energy projectile the size of a chicken egg drifted out at a speed of one meter per hour.

Never mind Ichigo, even the Hollow was stunned. It froze in its lunging posture, staring blankly at the egg... no, the spiritual energy projectile drifting toward it.

BOOM—

With a muffled explosion, the toad Hollow scratched its face, and then...

"ROAR—I'm going to eat you!"

Perhaps even it didn't know how to describe that painless, ticklish attack, so it chose to continue with its original goal!

"..." Wu Biao blinked his eyes and rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "So that's how it is. Master, you were demonstrating an attack for me."

Kannonji's face flushed red, but in order not to lose face in front of his disciple, he could only nod forcefully: "Exactly. Actually, for that last move, I only used one-billionth of my power."

No, that was definitely his full strength!

Kurosaki Ichigo complained inwardly and grabbed his Zanpakuto, ready to charge forward.

However, Wu Biao blocked his path: "Ichigo, stand back. This is a battle between master and disciple. The journey to the Western Heaven is long; if even a small monster like this requires your intervention, how can we hope to complete our pilgrimage!"

Never mind what the hell the Western Heaven is, what kind of sutras are you two disciples trying to fetch? You two should just go to the hospital and get your nerves reconnected!

However, Kurosaki Ichigo still stepped back, because he felt that if he kept talking to these two, his own nerves might just snap!

If that Hollow had even a slightly higher IQ, it probably would have been angered to death by these two without even needing to fight.

It could be said that its low intelligence saved it, as it still charged toward Wu Biao without hesitation.

Wu Biao, just like Kannonji, clenched his fist tightly, his face turning beet red as he roared like he was constipated: "Ah—oh—"

Of course, there was no spiritual energy gathering on his hand.

At this moment, the Hollow had already rushed over with its bloody maw wide open, looking like it was about to bite Wu Biao.

Seeing this, Kannonji was truly anxious this time: "No, run away quickly!" He said, preparing to rush forward.

"Don't worry!" Kurosaki Ichigo directly pressed his hand onto Kannonji's shoulder: "Brother Biao's brain might have issues, but this kind of small Hollow can't cause him any harm!"

Just then, the situation on the field changed abruptly. Brother Biao's tiger-like eyes widened as he shouted: "Kannon-style Ultimate Technique—Kannonji-dan!" He then slapped his palm toward the Hollow that was right in front of him.

With a 'pop', the moment the Hollow's head touched Brother Biao's palm, it exploded into a mist of blood, and its body instantly turned into starlight and dissipated.

"Holy crap, that fierce?" Wu Biao stared blankly at his right palm, a wild grin spreading across his face: "Wahahaha, with this ultimate skill, my invincibility is just around the corner!"

Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't even be bothered to complain. That was clearly just brute force, but Brother Biao's strength really was getting more and more terrifying!

"Master, did you see that? I succeeded!!!"

Kannonji looked at Wu Biao, who had rushed to his side and was preparing to pat his shoulder, and subconsciously took two steps back. He didn't want his shoulder to explode like that monster...

"Hmm, not bad. You are worthy of being my top disciple."

"Master, where is the next destination? Let's go... eh, Ichigo, why are you pulling me..."

Ichigo ignored Brother Biao entirely and said to Kannonji, who was still immersed in the shock of Wu Biao's strike: "It's your turn to finish up. Give those children a courageous hero!"

As he spoke, he dragged Wu Biao away, and from afar, one could still hear Wu Biao's excited and passionate shouting:

"Master, you must call me next time you exorcise a spirit!!!"

Well, thank you all for your support. I didn't expect so many people to support me.

There's no need to tip so much, I feel quite embarrassed. Just giving me some recommendation votes is enough...

By the way, how long until I get unmuted? I've been muted for five days now and it still hasn't been lifted. I can't reply to chapter comments or the book review section, wuwu!
