Spatial Techniques

Tessai Tsukabishi fell silent.

He put the document down, tucked his hands into his sleeves, and stared blankly into space.

Spatial techniques are a taboo strictly prohibited in Soul Society.

The Central 46 is extremely vigilant about this, and any related research is considered a serious crime.

The only legitimate task for which spatial magic is permitted is to open Senkaimon, creating a passage to the World of the Living.

However, the technique for opening the Senkaimon was also sealed away; the Soul Reaper only knew how to use it, but not its underlying principles.

Tessai Tsukabishi has studied the Kidō for most of his life. With his talent, he has long since mastered the existing Kidō system.

Ultimately, he couldn't help but focus his attention on the two most difficult and complex aspects of the surgical procedure.

Time and space.

Even he only dared to secretly explore the innermost secret chamber of the Kidō Corps.

Now, Wang Xun came to him with a completed plan for the Garganta technique, asking him to teach him this forbidden art.

To teach or not to teach?

Tessai Tsukabishi looked at the proposal in his hand again; it was written by Kisuke Urahara.

Urahara has already taken the lead, even developing the specific framework.

Given this, surely it wouldn't be considered a greater offense for him to offer some supplementary information and explanation to Tessai Tsukabishi?

Central 46, humph, a bunch of pedantic and stubborn fools.

What do they know...?

Tessai Tsukabishi withdrew his gaze and looked at Wang Xun.

"Spatial techniques are one of the most profound branches of the Kidō."

"It involves anchoring and sensing spatial nodes, as well as the precise control of Reiatsu fluctuations. I do have some experience with these things."

Tessai Tsukabishi looked at Wang Xun, his voice becoming serious.

"However, there's something I need to remind you of first."

"Researching the Garganta is an absolute taboo. The Central 46 strictly forbids any experiments related to space. If anyone finds out what you've done..."

"I understand, that's why I came to find you."

Tessai Tsukabishi looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed.

Are you sure you want to learn?

"Sure."

Tessai Tsukabishi nodded.

"Okay, then I'll teach you."

Without further hesitation, he raised his hand, gathering Reiatsu at his fingertips and drawing a trajectory of Reiatsu in the air.

"Urahara's plan is correct; his spiritual pressure nodes are well optimized. The spiritual pressure of Hollows is different from that of Shinigami. Shinigami use techniques to anchor nodes, while Hollows use instinct to tear through space."

"If you want to learn spatial techniques, your ability to Hollowfication might be more advantageous than ours. You can explore a balance between the two."

Wang Xun stared thoughtfully at the trajectory of that Reiatsu.

"Does that mean I can try to guide it with Hollow Reiatsu and anchor it with Soul Reaper techniques?"

Tessai Tsukabishi nodded.

He withdrew his Reiatsu and turned to look at Wang Xun.

"Next, I will teach you the basics of spatial magic. This will keep you busy for a while."

Wang Xun nodded.

"Thank you, Great Kidō Priest."

Tessai Tsukabishi waved his hand and began his explanation.

His voice was deep and steady, and he broke down every concept clearly.

Wang Xun listened intently. In his vision, tiny specks of light began to drift down from Tessai Tsukabishi's body and flow into his own.

[Gain 5 Advanced Kidō Techniques, Kidō Experience +500]

[Gained 8 Advanced Kidō Techniques, Kidō Experience +800]

[Kidō Level Increased↑]

[Kidō: 1v7 (200/20000)]

The level 7 Kidō has surpassed the level of an ordinary captain.

Wang Xun felt the knowledge flooding into his mind and sighed inwardly.

The advancement in his Kidō level allowed him to gain a more thorough understanding of Kidō, and those previously obscure concepts of spatial techniques became much clearer.

Many things in Kisuke Urahara's Garganta solution that he couldn't understand or comprehend on a technical level suddenly became clear to the Miracle.

Tessai Tsukabishi Tessai Tsukabishi suddenly stopped.

He suddenly realized that he had spoken too quickly and too deeply.

This content represents the culmination of most of his life's work and the culmination of over a century of research.

Even if an ordinary person studies diligently for many years, they may not be able to grasp the basics.

And yet, he had unknowingly talked so much.

He cleared his throat and looked at Wang Xun.

How much of what I just said did you understand?

Wang Xun thought for a moment.

"Most of them understood."

Tessai Tsukabishi's brows furrowed slightly.

Do you understand?

What he said wasn't something you could understand just by memorizing it.

Perceiving the Reishi node requires repeated practice, and understanding the fluctuation patterns of the spatial barrier requires extensive field testing and countless refinements.

Can you understand it after listening to it once?

How could that be...

"Then tell me, what's the most crucial aspect of anchoring a spatial node?"

Wang Xun without hesitation.

"Opportunity."

"Too early will cause the node to become unstable; too late, and the spatial barrier will have already recovered. The key is to use Reiatsu to anchor the node the instant the spatial barrier is torn apart."

"Furthermore, the Reiatsu applied during anchoring cannot be too strong, otherwise it will tear a larger opening. It must be kept moderate, and one should try not to excessively interfere with the space."

Tessai Tsukabishi's brows furrowed even more.

He then asked a few other questions.

Wang Xun's answer was exactly the same as what he had described and understood, and he even added details that Wang Xun had not mentioned.

Wang Xun not only remembered what he said, but also understood it deeply.

The details that require repeated practice to grasp, when spoken by him, sound as if he had practiced them countless times.

As he spoke, Wang Xun raised his hand, plucked a strand of hair, and then condensed an extremely faint, ethereal Reiatsu at his fingertips.

With a flick of his finger, the strand of hair vanished into thin air and instantly reappeared a short distance away, hovering and slowly descending.

Tessai Tsukabishi was immediately stunned.

Spatial movement.

Move the object from one location to another.

This is the most basic and core technique in spatial magic.

The theories he taught Wang Xun were the foundation for this technique.

However, he hasn't yet taught Wang Xun the relevant Kidō techniques.

How could this be...?

Tessai Tsukabishi somewhat incomprehensible.

He didn't expect that Wang Xun would be able to start operating immediately after listening to the theory.

Based on the most basic theory, they directly utilized the characteristics of the void's Reiatsu to attempt to simulate the effect of spatial movement.

And surprisingly, it succeeded.

Although the location wasn't precise enough, achieving this level of accuracy on his first attempt was clearly beyond his comprehension.

Tessai Tsukabishi looked at the deep eyes behind his glasses, filled with shock and disbelief.

There was another emotion that he himself had not noticed, an emotion that had not appeared for a long time.

excited.

This was a talent he had never seen before, one that defied all reason.

He looked at Wang Xun as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

"Wang Xun."

His voice was very low.

"You just tried to simulate spatial movement using the void's Reiatsu?"

Wang Xun nodded.

"Yes, and it did indeed complete a somewhat imprecise spatial movement, which proves that your idea is feasible."

"I cleverly completed a spatial spell by utilizing the Reiatsu within my body."

Tessai Tsukabishi nodded.

"Not bad, but your spatial teleportation, although successful, had a large deviation."

"There is still a lot of room for improvement."

He paused, but didn't say anything more.

But some people may never understand these things, even after a lifetime.

Tessai Tsukabishi glanced at the time, and a strange sense of loss rose in his heart.

"I didn't realize so much time had passed. You should go home now. Come back another time, and I'll teach you the more detailed techniques."

"Clear."

Wang Xun got up and left.

Behind him, Tessai Tsukabishi sat at his desk and let out a deep breath.

He stared at the closed door, his eyes behind his glasses slightly closed, remaining motionless for a long time.
