Aizen: Incantation Abandonment? I'll Teach You
A few days later, the Kidō Corps group arrived at their quarters.
Wang Xun walked through the familiar corridor toward the training ground.
It's been a long time since I've been here.
Wang Xun walked straight to the sidelines and found Tessai Tsukabishi, who was preparing to give a lesson.
"Great Kidō Priest."
Tessai Tsukabishi up, saw him, and smiled.
"You're here! How are you doing? Busy lately?"
Wang Xun shook his head.
"It's alright, but no matter how busy I am, I can't miss today's classes."
Tessai Tsukabishi put down the documents in his hand, then stood up, walked to the center of the training ground, and gestured for Wang Xun to follow.
Wang Xun had already learned a lot about Incantation Abandonment, and today marks the beginning of the most important practical lesson.
"The essence of Incantation Abandonment is not giving up chanting, but internalizing chanting."
A crowd had already gathered at the sidelines.
Tessai Tsukabishi raised his hand, gathering Reiatsu at his fingertips.
"The incantations used in the Kidō) are spells used to guide Reiatsu."
"Through chanting, we can make Reiatsu operate in a specific way, thereby releasing powerful energy."
"But chanting is also a constraint; it limits the speed at which the Kidō Kidō can be released and also restricts its application in combat."
With a flick of his finger, a Hadō shot out instantly, striking the distant target and blasting it into fragments.
"Incantation Abandonment means skipping the incantation step and directly directing Reiatsu along the trajectory of the incantation."
"But this requires a very deep understanding of the workings of the Kidō realm, and the ability to engrave every incantation deep into the soul."
He turned around and looked at the crowd.
"Your Dual Incantation is quite good, which shows that you have a deep understanding of the Kidō."
Then, he looked at Wang Xun.
Among the dozen or so people present, Wang Xun's Dual Incantation was the most outstanding, and his proficiency was even comparable to Wang Xun's.
"Incantation Abandonment' should not be difficult for you."
Wang Xun nodded.
"Please enlighten me, Great Kidō Daoist Priest."
Tessai Tsukabishi smiled.
"Let's start with Hadō #1."
In the following period, under the guidance of Tessai Tsukabishi, Wang Xun began to try Incantation Abandonment.
"Feel the flow of Reiatsu, and let your body remember the trajectory guided by the incantation."
Wang Xun began to try again and again.
Reiatsu gathered in his palm, then dissipated.
It coalesces again, then dissipates again.
Finally, after several attempts, he suddenly felt as if the Reiatsu within his body had broken through some kind of barrier.
A burst of Reiryoku flew from his palm and struck the target.
Tessai Tsukabishi's eyes lit up.
"Good."
As expected, Wang Xun's understanding of the Kidō far surpasses that of ordinary people.
While others were still trying to guide and gather Reiatsu, he had already successfully released it.
Wang Xun felt a surge of indescribable emotion.
It was a success.
The Incantation Abandonment.
A system notification sounded in my mind.
[Unlock Kidō Branch Skill: Incantation Abandonment (Beginner: 1%)]
A few days later, at a secret hideout in Rukongai.
This is where Aizen conducted his experiments, an abandoned underground cave.
After the renovation, the place was set up as a simple laboratory, filled with various instruments and utensils.
This was Wang Xun's first time here after receiving the notification.
He followed Aizen through the long passageway to the depths of the cave.
Aizen walked to the experimental table, took out the Hōgyoku from his pocket, and placed it on a specially made base.
"Today's experiment is mainly to test your tolerance to Hōgyoku."
He looked at Wang Xun.
"Although the last experiment failed, I need more detailed data."
Wang Xun nodded.
What do you need me to do?
Aizen pointed to a spot next to the lab bench.
"Stand there, relax, and don't resist the power of the Hōgyoku."
Wang Xun did as instructed and stood in that spot.
Aizen activated the Hōgyoku, and a dark blue light shone forth, as that familiar power surged into Wang Xun's body once more.
A system notification sounded.
[Obtained Tiny Hōgyoku Fragment, Hōgyoku Awakening Level +0.05%]
[Obtained Tiny Hōgyoku Fragment, Hōgyoku Awakening Level +0.08%]
Wang Xun expressionless, letting that power flow through his body.
Aizen frowned slightly as he looked at the data on the monitoring equipment.
After his last attempt to use the Hōgyoku to induce Wang Xun's Hollowfication, Aizen had harbored some doubts.
He was curious whether the power of the Hōgyoku had truly been consumed.
According to his understanding, the Hōgyoku should only act as a catalyst and should not be consumed.
It's strange...
A moment later, Aizen recorded the data and then cut off the output of the Hōgyoku.
"Okay, that's all for today."
Wang Xun stretched his body.
Just now, the amount of Hōgyoku within my body increased by 0.3%.
[Hōgyoku (Awakening Level: 1.8%)]
He was actually quite nervous inside.
I hope Aizen something out...
"Lieutenant Aizen, may I practice my Kidō here?"
Aizen glanced at him.
"Random."
Wang Xun walked to Ikkaku of the cave and began practicing the Incantation Abandonment".
He raised his hand, attempting to release the Bakudō without chanting.
Aizen was organizing experimental data, but gradually, his attention was drawn to Wang Xun.
The young man was practicing Kidō in front of him.
Moreover, what they practice is Incantation Abandonment.
Aizen put down his notebook and looked at it with great interest.
"Your Incantation Abandonment; from whom did you learn it?"
Aizen's voice came from behind him.
Wang Xun stopped what he was doing and turned around.
"The great Kidō priest pointed out some key points to me."
Aizen nodded and walked up to him.
"Tessai Tsukabishi, he's quite good at using the Kidō."
"The essence of Incantation Abandonment is to internalize the chant, allowing Reiatsu to become a conditioned reflex."
"The method he taught you is correct, but what you lack is not skills, but understanding."
Aizen raised his hand.
"Watch."
Without chanting or forming hand seals, a Reiatsu gathered in his palm.
The Reiatsu was immense and stable, carrying a chilling sense of oppression.
Then, this Reiatsu transformed into a black cube.
The high-ranking Hadō of the number ninety-first Path floated quietly in Aizen's hand like a toy, obedient and docile.
Wang Xun stared blankly, this was clearly beyond his previous understanding of the Kidō.
The next moment, fragments of Kidō and Reiatsu Fragment fell.
[Gained Advanced Kidō Insights x1, Kidō Experience Points +100]
[Gained 1 Large Reiryoku Fragment, Spiritual Might Experience +100]
Aizen dissipated the Reiatsu in his hands.
"When you no longer need to consciously give up chanting, but can release the Kidō naturally, you have truly mastered this technique."
He looked at Wang Xun.
Do you want to learn?
Wang Xun nodded without hesitation.
"Think."
A slight smile appeared on Aizen's lips.
"Good."
In the following period, Aizen began to personally instruct Wang Xun in Kidō.
"I have the deepest understanding of the Black Coffin Black Coffin, so I'll use it as an example. You can apply this knowledge to other areas and try out lower-level Hadō."
Aizen explained everything from the simplest Reiatsu control to the complex construction of Kidō in a clear and concise manner.
System notifications kept flashing in front of Wang Xun.
[Gain 3 Advanced Kidō Insights, Kidō Experience Points +300]
[Gained 5 Advanced Kidō Techniques, Kidō Experience Points +500]
Aizen looked at Wang Xun, his interest growing stronger.
After explaining the next point, Aizen suddenly spoke, watching Wang Xun begin to practice.
"Your understanding of the Kidō is quite good, surpassing that of an ordinary vice-captain. You do have some talent."
"But I've seen many people Incantation Abandonment. Some have practiced for years and still can't even get the basics right, while others have barely managed to learn it, but the power of the Kidō energy they unleash is greatly reduced."
He looked at Wang Xun.
"You have talent, but don't be overly ambitious."
"I'll go organize the experimental data. The knowledge I've taught you should be enough for you to digest for a while. Practice diligently."
"Good."
Aizen turned and walked towards the experimental table.
Wang Xun also withdrew his gaze and continued practicing.
He gathered Reiatsu in his palm and tried his best to control it.
Then, the Reiryoku coalesced and took shape, transforming into an extremely small black coffin, which floated in his palm.
Behind Wang Xun, Aizen suddenly stopped and turned his head slightly.
He watched Wang Xun's retreating figure, feeling the strange yet familiar Reiatsu fluctuations.
Aizen's eyes widened slightly.
