Chapter 261

Love Aikawa Shinji Hirako walked up, one on each side, and grabbed Kensei's arms, pulling him back.

"What are you doing? Let go!"

Kensei struggled desperately.

"I'm not finished yet!"

"Take a break, Kensei, you look exhausted."

Hirako wore a smile, but continued to exert force in his hands.

"Exactly, you should be giving other people a turn, not just practicing by yourself."

Hiyori walked over, pouting as she looked up at him.

"What, you're not happy about it?"

Kensei gritted his teeth, but then deflated, scratching his head in frustration.

Hiyori's point is valid; everyone wants to train, and he shouldn't get all the benefits for himself.

"Okay, okay, let me go."

Not far away, Wang Xun sighed.

Good grief, they even lined up, using him as a human-shaped wooden stake.

This scene is no different from when he was searching everywhere for people to farm fragments back then.

He used to be the one attacking others, now a bunch of people are lining up to attack him.

The boomerang spun around and then hit itself back at the boomerang.

He glanced at everyone present, and everyone was looking at him with the same intense, unwavering gaze.

"Come one by one is too slow, why bother?"

Wang Xun flicked the blade.

"Let's all go together."

Upon hearing this, Hirako, who was in the lead, narrowed his eyes.

"Let's go together?"

Hirako's tone dipped slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Wang Xun, although we know you are very strong, are you sure you can take on all of us at the same time?"

"You need to understand, the people here are all captains. Although Kensei didn't perform well, we're not ordinary players."

color."

Wang Xun raised his Zanpakuto, a cold light flashing across its blade.

"Chains are boundless, all laws are still, the Shackle Lotus."

The Reiatsu exploded upon its Shikai.

"That makes sense. We can have a few people try it out first," Wang Xun, twirling his sword. "It's up to you."

Upon hearing this, Kensei shook off Aikawa's hand, which was still on his shoulder, and strode over.

"I am aware of Wang Xun's power; he wasn't exaggerating. He truly has the ability to face all of us."

Kensei glanced at Hirako.

"That way, there's no need to distinguish between first and last, right?"

Hirako withdrew his gaze and slowly drew his Zanpakuto with his right hand.

"Since that's the case, let's do it. Everyone, be careful of the Hollowfication time, don't lose control."

A bone mask appeared on his face, and with a push of his feet, he charged forward first.

The next moment, Hirako was blasted away, crashing into a corner of the wall, coughing up blood.

Kensei's lips twitched.

"That was a huge slap in the face..."

Ōtoribashi and Aikawa exchanged a glance.

The two simultaneously activated their Hollowfication, covering their faces with masks, and attacked from the left and right.

Ōtoribashi slashed horizontally from the front, while Aikawa circled around to the side and slashed vertically, their blades blocking Wang Xun's retreat.

Wang Xun sidestepped Ōtoribashi's blade and deflected Aikawa's slash with a backhand strike.

Using the momentum, he spun halfway around, the hilt of the knife slamming into Ōtoribashi's shoulder, knocking him to the ground.

Love Aikawa took a step back, but before he could regain his footing, Wang Xun's knife was already poised to strike his mask.

A gash appeared on the white bone surface, and after it shattered, Love Aikawa's surprised expression was revealed.

Love Aikawa looked at the tip of his sword, swallowed hard, and sheathed his sword before retreating.

At this moment, the Hollowfication Hachigen Ushōda clapped his hands together and unleashed the Sixty-Third Binding Path of the Bakudō: Sajō Sabaku. Golden light ropes shot out from his palms and wrapped around Wang Xun's legs.

Wang Xun shattered the light rope with a single slash, and retaliated in kind with his Kidō. His instantaneous Beak-Piercing Triple Flash, combined with the Sōkatsui, accurately struck Ushōda, who couldn't dodge in time, causing him to stagger.

Hachigen Ushōda, his chubby body rising from the ground, looked at Wang Xun in surprise.

He had already witnessed Wang Xun's multiple instantaneous attacks within the Kidō Corps.

To his surprise, Wang Xun's control over the speed and precision of releasing the Kidō did not cause him serious injury.

He knew that Wang Xun's Kidō were definitely more powerful than this; it was clearly intentional, and such control was simply astonishing.

"Wang Xun's mastery of the Kidō is becoming increasingly exquisite."

In the distance, Hirako had already readjusted himself. He wiped the blood from his face and his Hollowfication Reiatsu reformed.

The others also stood beside him.

Four Captain-level surrounded Wang Xun from all sides.

Hachigen Ushōda, Lisa Yadōmaru, and Hiyori Sarugaki provided support from the outside.

Mashiro Kuna didn't participate; she no longer needed to practice Hollowfication, so she just stood next to Kisuke Urahara and cheered him on.

Hirako took a deep breath.

"Stop holding back, let's all attack together."

Kensei grinned, and the wind blades of his Tachikaze made the stone slabs on the ground creak.

Ōtoribashi adjusted his grip on his sword, and Aikawa stretched his neck. The two simultaneously activated their Shikai Zanpakuto, which transformed into a metal whip and a spiked club.

The Hollowfication activated again, and the erupting Reiatsu churned in the basement.

Hirako Zanpakuto horizontally in front of him.

"Fall down, Sakanade."

As Hirako finished his Shikai, the blade of the Sakanade sword changed, the hilt becoming a circle that slowly rotated in his hand.

A thin mist emanated from his blade, enveloping Wang Xun.

Hirako's lips curled up. The ability of Sakanade is to manipulate the sensory nerves and reverse the opponent's senses. Like Aizen's Kyōka Suigetsu, it is an illusion-type Zanpakuto.

After controlling Wang Xun's senses, even though he is very strong, he will inevitably have a major weakness.

"I'm sorry, Wang Xun, this is just the cruel reality of the world."

Hirako charged forward again.

Wang Xun's movements were indeed much slower, as if he was adjusting to the inverted senses.

Seeing Hirako, Hirako was secretly pleased; the interference was effective.

However, Wang Xun precisely parried Hirako's straight thrust with his next strike.

Hirako's eyes widened.

"How could this be, the ability to Sakanade..."

Hirako gritted his teeth and charged forward again.

His inverted perception had indeed malfunctioned; Wang Xun parried several of his attacks, leaving his hands numb from the shock.

How could that be...

Could Wang Xun's Zanpakuto possibly block the abilities of other people's Zanpakuto?

Hirako was shocked. On the other side, Kensei's Hollowfication duration had reached its critical point, and the edges of his mask began to spread outwards.

He growled and stubbornly endured it. Wang Xun caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye, slashed Love Aikawa away with his sword, and Shunpo moved in front of Kensei, smashing the back of his sword onto Kensei's mask.

The mask shattered, Kensei flew backward, crashing against the wall and sliding down. The Hollow's Reiatsu dissipated instantly.

Make good use of your time.

Without turning his head, Wang Xun charged at the others again.

After several rounds, the people present gradually adapted to Wang Xun's offensive and were able to organize a certain degree of resistance, and even devise tactics to restrain Wang Xun.

Faced with this situation, Wang Xun remained calm and raised his Hollowfication level by one.

Then, the group noticed that Wang Xun's mask had changed.

Several dark red patterns have appeared on the originally pure white mask.

Wang Xun's Reiatsu also increased by an order of magnitude, causing a sudden increase in pressure on the people present.

Hirako wiped the sweat from his chin and turned to call out to Ushōda.

"Prepare for a high-level Bakudō, complete the incantation!"

The group rushed forward again, attempting to entangle Wang Xun.

Ushōda a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and chanted, the sound echoing in the basement.

The Seventy-Fifth Bakudō: Gochūtekkan the Path.

Five enormous iron pillars descended from the sky, carrying immense Reiatsu as they crashed down on Wang Xun's head.

At the same time, Hirako raised his hand and activated the Hadō #91, Senju Kōten Taihō, without chanting.

As his Reiatsu erupted, several beams of light shot out.

The iron pillar crashed down, Wang Xun dodged to the side, but was hit head-on by Hirako's Hadō.

The light projectile fell, exploding in a cloud of smoke and dust on the ground, sending debris flying.

Does it work?

Hirako frowned as he looked at the plume of smoke.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Wang Xun was seen standing in the same spot, with many shallow pits under his feet.

Wang Xun didn't even try to dodge; the power of Hirako's Hadō was about the same as a small firecracker, and it didn't cause him any harm.

"That power," Wang Xun dusted off his sleeves, "Is a bit humorous."

Hirako lowered his hand, looked at Wang Xun and saw that there wasn't even a mark on his body, and his lips twitched.

"You bastard..."

The battle erupted, Wang Xun unleashed Kidō Zanjutsu, turning the situation into a one-sided rout once again.

It lasted for almost half a day.

In the end, everyone was exhausted and lay on the ground, their bodies covered in wounds.

In contrast, Wang Xun, who was far away, was only slightly out of breath. Although his Reiatsu had also been greatly depleted, he was still much more dignified than those lying on the ground.

Wang Xun also sat down.

He leaned against a protruding rock, his Zanpakuto resting horizontally on his lap, breathing evenly.

These guys were, after all, the captain and vice-captain. Even though he was overwhelmingly stronger, he still expended a lot of energy.

Fortunately, the Reiryoku Fragment that fell from their bodies during the battle kept replenishing their Reiatsu, so they were able to keep it stable.

Hirako caught his breath and stood up, supporting himself with his sword.

He glanced at Wang Xun, then at Kensei lying on the ground.

"Kensei, how long has your Hollowfication lasted?"

Kensei closed his eyes and sensed it.

"It's been about ten seconds, maybe longer."

Where is Hirako?

"Twenty seconds," Hirako paused, "Everyone has improved a lot."

"Wang Xun's fighting skills are indeed very helpful."

Hirako walked up to Wang Xun.

"Hey, Wang Xun."

Wang Xun raised his head and looked at Hirako's hesitant expression.

Don't take our previous attitude to heart.

Thank you for today.

Hirako extended his hand.

Wang Xun stood up and grasped that hand.

"No need to be so polite, we're all colleagues. I also hope you recover soon. Seireitei is in dire need of captains right now, and I look forward to your early return."

Kensei over and tapped Wang Xun's shoulder with his fist.

"Goodness, Kenpachi of the 11th Division is now truly the strongest fighter in the league."

"At this rate, we'll be back soon."

Ōtoribashi and Aikawa didn't speak, but they both nodded.

But then, a sudden voice came from the corner.

"I... don't want to go back."

Everyone looked over in surprise upon hearing this, only to see Hiyori Sarugaki leaning against a rock with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Captain Hikifune went to Zero Division, and there's no one he knows in Twelfth Division. What's he going back for?"

"Besides, I've always hated things like Soul Reaper..."

At this moment, Hachigen Ushōda took off his small toad-eye glasses and wiped them clean.

"I actually share the same idea. Tsukabishi has also chosen to stay in the World of the Living, and my thoughts align with his."

Hiyori glanced at Ushōda, who was smiling at her from the side, and pursed her lips.

Wang Xun didn't say anything.

They weren't the only ones who chose to stay in the World of the Living; Urahara and Yoruichi did the same.

Everyone has their own reasons.

Moreover, the Soul Society is indeed a place with many restrictions, and not everyone can live freely there.

Hirako walked over to Hiyori and sighed.

"Are we really going to stay in the World of the Living? We're all going back now, won't we feel lonely then?"

Hiyori kicked Hirako in the Hirako, causing him to stumble.

"Don't worry about me, you bald bastard! I can live perfectly well on my own!"

"You ungrateful bastard..."

"Ha?"

The two started fighting.

At that moment, Urahara walked over from the side and clapped his palms with his fan.

"Alright, everyone's exhausted today, how about we all relax in a hot spring?"

Everyone looked over, and Hirako and Hiyori stopped their playful fighting.

Kisuke Urahara walked to the innermost part of the basement and pulled back a curtain.

Behind the curtain was a pool, its water steaming and gently churning.

The crowd gathered around, looking in surprise at the pool that had appeared out of nowhere.

"When did you create this? You even have the mind to build a hot spring?"

Kidō looked the hot spring Hirako and down. His skill in the Kido was quite good, and he soon noticed something different about it.

"This hot spring... it seems to have some resemblance to Kaidō."

"That's right, this is exactly what I just came up with."

Urahara pointed to the pond with his fan.

"It can restore Reiatsu and heal some basic skin and flesh wounds. Although its effectiveness cannot compare to the Fourth Division's Kaidō, it has the advantage of saving effort."

"Everyone, go in and soak in the water. Don't bother Wang Xun treating your injuries one by one."

Wang Xun walked to the edge of the pool, squatted down, and reached out to stir the water.

[Gained 10 Small Reiryoku Fragment, Spiritual Position Experience +1000]

Oh, fragments.

It seems that Kisuke Urahara had been trying to recreate the hot spring, and now it has finally come to fruition.

Wang Xun examined it closely. The structure and principle were based on the healing hot spring of Tenjirō Kirinji, but it was clearly not as advanced as Kirinji's technology and could only be considered a crude imitation.

Even so, the results were still quite remarkable.

"Everyone, please wait a moment."

Several people around him had already started taking off their clothes, and they were slightly taken aback when they heard Wang Xun's voice.

Wang Xun dipped his hand into the pool, activated his Kaidō, and released his Reiatsu without restraint.

Soon, bubbles began to rise from the surface of the pool, and steam surged several times over.

Kisuke Urahara, watching Wang Xun's actions, widened his eyes slightly.

Others might not understand, but Urahara, who created this hot spring, could clearly see what Wang Xun was doing.

Wang Xun was actually using the Kaidō to improve the effects of his hot spring.

Soon, the hot spring's effects on restoring Reiatsu and healing wounds visibly improved significantly.

A moment later, Wang Xun withdrew his hand, let out a long breath, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Urahara lowered his head and stared intently, confirming that the recovery effect had indeed improved significantly, before looking at Wang Xun with astonishment.

"This doesn't seem like your technique at all; it's more like..."

Kisuke Urahara wanted to say that name, but he was also unsure.

"That's right, it's exactly the person you're thinking of. Zero Division came by a few days ago."

"Tenjirō Kirinji, I've seen his White Bone Hell and Blood Pond Hell. While soaking in them, I also figured out how they work."

Kisuke Urahara looked at Wang Xun in surprise.

"You learned it while soaking?"

"I just figured out the principle while experiencing it, how can that be called stealing?"

Urahara's expression was a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"That's really... surprising."

Then, a hint of curiosity appeared on his face.

"Speaking of which, I did hear a little about the Zero Division from Soi Fon."

"Her mission this time was assigned by Senjumaru Shutara to investigate the Quincy's whereabouts."

"How far has the situation progressed?"

Upon hearing news of Zero Division, the people around them all perked up their ears and looked over curiously.
