Two days passed quickly.
Under the guidance of Yamamoto, Kyoraku and Ukitake have initially reached a dialogue with Zanpakuto after two days of Jinzen practice.
According to this efficiency, it should be very fast to achieve Shikai.
But Lin Nan's Jinzen remained motionless. No matter how long he sat there, the connection between Zanpakuto and his heart never seemed to show any sign of loosening.
Lin Nan also tried to enter the Playback Room space to find information about Jinzen. However, Jinzen is not a battle record and there is nothing for reference at all.
This left him somewhat helpless.
Yamamoto is very open-minded. "It doesn't matter. From what I can tell, your current level is much better than that of ordinary college students. Even if Shikai is not available for the time being, it doesn't matter. In Rukongai, there will be Soul Reaper team members to protect you."
Lin Nan lowered his eyebrows and listened to Captain-Commander's teachings. He was secretly glad that thanks to these days, each teacher's substitute time is independent.
If Yamamoto or any other captain spent four days with Lin Nan from beginning to end, they would find that during those days of special training, Lin Nan's spiritual pressure increased at an incredible speed.
And Yamamoto happened to come to class on the last day, and his spiritual pressure was very strong, so he had no intuitive feeling about the increase in spiritual pressure of Lin Nan.
The only people who were affected by Lin Nan's spiritual pressure were Kyoraku and Ukitake. And the sad thing was that no one could understand their collapse. Even if they wanted to talk to them, there was no suitable person around them.
If Lin Nan and Jinzen had not encountered obstacles this time, the self-confidence of Kyoraku and Ukitake would have almost collapsed.
The time to set off has arrived. The students stood in the center of the square in front of the Spirit Arts Academy main building, waiting for the teacher and the Soul Reaper students to read their names.
"Lin Sang, tell the truth, how did you manage to improve your spiritual pressure to a big level every day during the four days of special training?" Kyoraku stood at the end of the team and asked Lin Nan in front of him with a curious look on his face.
Things like where he is about to go on duty have no attraction to Kyoraku. He is only most interested in the growth of Lin Nan's strength now.
Ukitake turned his head when he heard this, obviously very interested in this topic.
"I can't tell." Lin Nan shook his head. This is not a lie. The reason why his Rei-Power rose is indeed for a reason that he has not yet understood.
After playing against Yamamoto, Rei-Power has risen a bit. The current level of Rei-Power has entered the top ten and reached the ninth level.
It is worth mentioning that Rei-Power who exceeds the sixth level is the deputy Captain-level. In other words, in terms of spiritual pressure alone, Lin Nan is now at the level of Seated Officer.
Kyoraku and Ukitake carefully distinguished Lin Nan's micro-expressions, and both showed expressions of regret. "This guy didn't lie! He really doesn't have a secret book that can quickly increase spiritual pressure!"
Lin Nan looked at the screaming Kyoraku and the Shunsui who was in the process of becoming Ukitake, and couldn't laugh or cry, "You two are almost there. You are both about to become Shikai, and I don't have any skills at all!"
Kyoraku sighed lightly, looked at Lin Nan with some resentment and said, "Lin Sang, Zanpakuto will be liberated sooner or later; but if you want to increase this spiritual pressure casually, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky..."
The corners of Lin Nan's eyes twitched a little, and he grabbed Kyoraku's lapel. "Okay, okay, let's start playing with it!"
At this time, he suddenly remembered some details from the past few days. "By the way, while my spiritual pressure has increased these days - I don't know if you two have noticed - I have eaten a lot these days."
Kyoraku's clothes were still in Lin Nan's hands, and he was slightly startled when he heard this; Ukitake reacted quickly and nodded immediately. "That's right. Lin Sang's appetite in the past few days seems to be twice as big as before!"
Lin Nan touched his chin gently and said:
"This is the only difference I can think of. Maybe while strengthening training, paying attention to food intake can ensure the increase of spiritual pressure! You two can give it a try when you have free time during the mission."
Kyoraku and Ukitake looked at each other and nodded.
"By the way, how did you two finish your Shikai?" Lin Nan thought of his own Jinzen and quickly learned from his experience.
"Although the conversation went very smoothly, it was a bit difficult to synchronize." Kyoraku said this with a sad expression.
Ukitake and Lin Nan simultaneously made a sign of listening.
Kyoraku looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so he leaned into the ears of the other two people and said, "My Zanpakuto... it always wants to play with me..."
Lin Nan's expression flashed strangely. "What... what are you talking about? What do you mean I always want to play with you?"
Even Ukitake couldn't help but interject. "Is this the one I want to play?"
Kyoraku was confused. "Which one do you want to play?"
"How do I know which game you are talking about?"
Kyoraku calmed down and decided not to dwell on the wording issue, but directly stated the problem.
After he entered the world of Zanpakuto, he was forced to play games. Moreover, Zanpakuto did not allow him to win, only to lose, otherwise he would not be allowed to leave.
Until Kyoraku's spiritual pressure is exhausted, Jinzen will automatically exit.
It's been like this for two days in a row.
Lin Nan looked at Ukitake: "Is your Jinzen not going well either?"
Ukitake shook his head and said easily, "I haven't. At first, it seemed that Mr. Dao was a little unhappy;
But later on, for some reason, our conversations and interactions went surprisingly smoothly! It has been as good as now. I should be able to try Shikai a few more times."
Lin Nan looked at the proud smile on Ukitake's pale face and had an idea. It was probably Soul King's Power's help that forced him to have a dialogue and synchronization with Zanpakuto.
It's also a plug-in, why is it so smart?
"Since Ukitake has not encountered such a problem, then Kyoraku your experience is interesting..." Lin Nan pursed her lips tightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Kyoraku also fell into deep thought and murmured, "However, since talking to Zanpakuto, I found that I have never been happy before..."
Lin Nan turned his head and looked at him. "Why did you say that?"
"I like to play because no one has played with me since I was a child. I only have servants to accompany me and let me win constantly, so that I can make myself happy.
However, playing with Zanpakuto is obviously the same children's game, but I can't win no matter what. Whether it's playing Irooni or Kageoni, it can beat me.
Only then did I realize that the only fun I had when I was a child was fake. Those victories were all made up by others to cater to me.
My only obsession is to win. Now, I can't win at all. Even the meaning itself that carries this obsession no longer exists..."
Kyoraku looked at the sky blankly and muttered to himself.
Lin Nan looked at his depressed expression and felt something was wrong, and quickly glanced at Ukitake. Ukitake immediately followed him, leading Kyoraku to a secluded corner nearby.
"Your condition is a bit dangerous." Lin Nan got straight to the point, "If this continues, I'm afraid you will be killed by your Zanpakuto."
He did not reveal Katen Kyokotsu's name to the two people.
But combined with the performance of the Zanpakuto in the comics and the current reaction of Kyoraku, it is definitely an extremely dangerous Zanpakuto.
Judging from this, it means that before you start to recognize the master, you are already inclined to kill the master, right?
Kyoraku was unmoved and just asked numbly, "If the meaning is lost, what will happen if you die? Growing up is really a tiring thing! You can't compare with others..."
Lin Nan clicked his tongue a little irritably, and now he was a little envious of Yamamoto's bad temper. He didn't have to think so much, just fight with a big pussy.
But I can't do that to Kyoraku right now! This problem boy is facing a big problem now. If he doesn't handle it properly, there will be bigger problems!
"Kyoraku, your Zanpakuto, what does he look like?"
Lin Nan made his voice as calm and soothing as possible, for fear of irritating Kyoraku's obviously fragile mind.
"It? It seems to be just a dark shadow. I can't tell whether it's a man or a woman, and it doesn't want to tell me its name."
Haven't you even asked her name yet? That's really a bit tricky. It seems that there is still a big prejudice between Zanpakuto and its owner...
"Have you been playing games while you were getting along? Can you briefly describe the process to me?"
Kyoraku's eyes were unmoved. "There is no process, I just keep changing games. I try my best to win in various ways, but I can't win.
If I can't win, it won't talk to me and won't let me leave."
Lin Nan pondered and thought about it in his mind again.
"Kyoraku, if you are willing to believe me." He put his hand on Kyoraku's shoulder, as if to convey courage to the other party, "Next time Jinzen, take the initiative to let it win. Remember, you must take the initiative, and do it in every game."
Kyoraku wondered, "Does it make sense? It has been winning."
"No, you are talking about victory or defeat. What I mean is, this time you try to accompany it to play. Then let it have the joy of winning while playing. The most important thing is to accompany it.
As for winning or losing, just don't let your guard down too obviously."
A trace of hesitation flashed in Kyoraku's eyes, and he looked at Lin Nan with ambivalence. "Is this possible?"
It's not that he doesn't trust the other party because Lin Nan hasn't finished Jinzen yet, it's just that this method is a bit different from the technique taught by the teacher.
The Jinzen experience taught by Yamamoto is: enter the world of Zanpakuto, find the Zanpakuto body, hammer it with it and win. This is how his Ryujin Jakka achieved Shikai...
Lin Nan was speechless when he heard Kyoraku's doubts:
"That method is only suitable for a knife with a temper as explosive as his. Your knife doesn't have that kind of personality. Wouldn't it be counterproductive to use the same method?"
Kyoraku was completely confused. "Then what should I do?"
"Be friends with it! I have a feeling that it is actually the version of yourself that longed for a playmate when you were a child - you should let it win a few more times."
