"When I want to cut off the thing in front of me, no matter whether it is steel or Steel Skin, it will be fragile under my blade."
"Even if my knife has no edge."
Nara Dan returned the Zanpakutō in his hand to Retsu Unohana.
"Of course this is an essential difference."
"Essence is for understanding, not for learning."
"So I want you to better understand what I call Swordsmanship."
"Your learning needs to start with perception."
Breathe?
Some of the students present could not understand, and they completely touched the blind spots of their own knowledge.
Except for creatures with lungs, do other things breathe?
Nara Dan seems to be answering the questions in their minds.
"Not only creatures with lungs breathe, but everything in the world breathes."
"The secret that allows you to kill things you want to kill without injuring anything you don't want to kill is here."
"Perception Breath of All Things."
"I had just avoided the cloth in front of me from his breath, so when the sharp blade struck it, there was no reaction at all."
Nara Dan picked up the cloth in his hand again.
"But if my goal is to cut off its breath."
"So."
"Keng!"
It was like the sound of intertwining metal. In the eyes of everyone, Nara Dan's fingers merged into a knife, and the speed was neither fast nor slow. It had to slash at the cloth in the air.
And the moment the dull knife intertwined with the cloth.
Everyone seemed to see a sharp white light.
Then, everyone noticed the cloth again.
The cloth had already split into two pieces and slowly fell to the floor at the same time.
"This is the power to cut off Breath of All Things."
"If you can feel everything Breath of All Things, then you can easily cut it off with the blade in your right hand or something else."
"This is the introduction to Swordsmanship."
"It's also something you may need to learn throughout your life."
Nara Dan first put the cruel facts in front of all the students.
That is, the threshold for seeing this thing is also higher, even higher than the threshold for Zanpakutō.
Not everyone can enter the door of Swordsmanship and feel the power of Breath of All Things.
Feel Breath of All Things, although it is the entry-level skill of Swordsmanship.
But in fact, to get to this point, there are many steps in between. It's just that Nara Dan has omitted them all.
In the world of pirates, swordsmen who can feel the breath of all things can be respectfully called Swordsman.
Even if he is wanted by the Navy, he is at least a small boss worth tens of millions of Belly.
Among the Shinigami, with this skill alone, an ordinary Shinigami can fight against a Seated Officer-level Shinigami without using Shikai.
"So awesome"
"Is Swordsmanship really something that can be done?"
"Feel the breath of a piece of cloth."
In an instant, many students present fell into depression.
Genius is neither rare nor common among this god of death.
But most people are able to recognize the gap between themselves and true genius.
Just from what Nara Dan showed, they clearly saw that most of the time Swordsmanship can only be used as a supplement to their system, rather than the main force of the combat system.
Obviously, the expressions of the Captain-level Shinigami sitting in the front row did not fluctuate at all, and even had a hint of understanding.
They belong to the absolute genius range. They can completely understand and even quickly master what Nara Dan said about Breath of All Things.
Nara Dan Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, he briefly talked about the specific process of feeling the breathing of all things, and then gave an open class.
For Nara Dan, this is just a job, and there is no need to take it too seriously.
And things like Swordsmanship are not something ordinary people can afford.
For a genius who can forge ahead, a few rare words can start him on the road to Swordsmanship.
But most of the Shinigami are just ordinary Shinigami. The Swordsmanship mentioned by Nara Dan is just an idea, which only serves to broaden one's horizons.
Maybe it can blossom and bear fruit in his descendants, but it will definitely not be in those ordinary gods of death.
Although it is cruel, it is the fact. Among Heavens and Myriad Worlds, Swordsmanship has never been a game for ordinary people. It is a toy for the top few geniuses.
"What you said is very interesting, Captain Nara."
After class, Byakuya Kuchiki appeared on the path of Nara Dan and praised him.
"Thousands of years later, you will become as influential a god of death as Head Captain Yamamoto."
"This is something that even pure blood cannot achieve."
Byakuya Kuchiki seems a little emotional.
"So you know it? Breath of All Things."
Nara Dan shrugged noncommittally and asked Byakuya Kuchiki.
He is still optimistic about Byakuya Kuchiki's qualifications.
Byakuya Kuchiki, as the head of the Kuchiki Family clan, his qualifications are definitely among the top among the Shinigami.
It would be best if we could introduce new ones from the old in Swordsmanship.
"I have some clues. In fact, the Swordsmanship and Zanpakutō you mentioned are not completely unrelated."
"Swordsmanship is used together with direct attack type liberation."
"I think the combat effectiveness can be greatly improved."
Byakuya Kuchiki is worthy of being one of Soul Society's geniuses. He instantly came up with the idea and method of integrating Swordsmanship into the existing system.
Nara Dan nodded, indeed.
But on the other hand, I was secretly disappointed.
Because it is impossible for a traditional god of death like Byakuya Kuchiki to follow the path of Swordsmanship alone.
There is not much reference for him.
Retsu Unohana is the most likely, Kenpachi Zaraki is another possibility.
But Nara Dan fortunately didn't give too much hope.
On the one hand, he already has a way to solve the existing bottleneck.
On the other hand, this is just a casual move. If it takes tens of millions of years, it might be able to bear fruit in the world of death, but it is still too early now.
"This world is Zanpakutō's world after all..."
"Isn't it?"
Nara Dan Road,
"No matter how excellent Swordsmanship is, it can only be used as a supplement..."
Byakuya Kuchiki shook his head,
"Zanpakutō is the power of death"
"But Swordsmanship is different..."
"Any intelligent creature can attempt to learn"
Nara Dan's eyes changed. It seemed that the aristocratic god of death's vision was beyond his expectation.
Yes, as Byakuya Kuchiki said, Swordsmanship is a universal power.
Even humans without Spiritual Power can try to control it.
If Nara Dan has patience, it is not impossible to establish a complete Swordsmanship super Mortal Body system in the human world.
When the time comes, it might not be a bad idea to forcefully squeeze out the Divine Body series and try to sublimate Swordsmanship Transcendent.
'But this price-performance ratio is too low...'
'The time taken will also be calculated in thousands of years'
