Kidō Corps

Wang Xun had no idea exactly what happened that night.

But these past two days, whenever Soi Fon sees him, she seems to avoid him for some inexplicable reason.

Beneath her Punishment Force uniform, she had changed into the backless combat outfit that Yoruichi had given her.

The only problem is that it's a little loose around the chest.

Soi Fon remembered that the Fourth Division had a tailoring facility, apparently for mending the battle-damaged clothing of its members.

Find an opportunity privately to ask the members of the Fourth Division to help adjust things.

Wang Xun was unaware of Soi Fon's ulterior motives; he hadn't been idle these past few days either.

He went to the Fourth Division as usual to study, organize his findings, and plan his future development path.

The hot springs at Kisuke Urahara's place were a pleasant surprise.

In the past few days, he took the opportunity to visit the Maggot's Nest again, absorbing over a hundred points of Spiritual Might experience once more.

Although Urahara claimed it was a rudimentary technique he had secretly learned, Wang Xun still considered the spring water to be of great value.

This made him somewhat look forward to future developments.

On this day, Wang Xun received a message from Kisuke Urahara.

"Tomorrow morning, assemble at the main gate of the Second Division and follow me to the Kidō Corps."

The brief message, however, invigorated Wang Xun.

The next day, at the main gate of the Second Division.

When Wang Xun arrived on time, Kisuke Urahara was already waiting there.

Today, Urahara was dressed in a simple shihaka outfit, with several bulging bags around him.

Good morning, Wang Xun.

Urahara saw Wang Xun and greeted him with a smile.

"Very punctual."

"I've kept Third Seat Urahara, waiting."

Wang Xun walked closer and his gaze fell on the package.

"These are the materials to be sent to the Kidō Corps?"

"That's right."

Urahara patted the package.

"The Mr. Tsukabishi ordered from me a while ago has been delivered today."

"It's perfect that you're coming along. I won't need to ask the team members to carry my things anymore. We can split it in half."

Let's go.

The two shouldered their bags, left the Second Division barracks, and walked out along the wide main road.

The Seireitei was already bustling with activity at dawn. Members of various squads hurried to and fro, and occasionally patrols marched past in orderly formation.

The cherry blossom trees along the roadside are in full bloom, their pink and white petals drifting down in the wind, shimmering softly in the morning light.

"Speaking of which, Wang Xun..."

Urahara suddenly spoke.

"The Kidō Corps, like the Stealth Force, is a power structure subordinate to the Central 46."

"The internal members are mostly nobles who control important matters such as barriers and seals. Their identities are kept secret, so don't ask too many questions once you arrive."

"Learn."

Urahara looked at Wang Xun.

"Actually, I've also done quite a bit of research on the Kidō. If you have any questions that aren't too complicated, you can come to me."

Looking at Urahara's profile, Wang Xun nodded in surprise.

The two continued on their way.

Before long, the ancient and heavy gate of the Kidō Corps Headquarters appeared before the two of them.

After the announcement, the two entered the Kidō Corps's quarters.

Two members of the Kidō Corps, dressed in black and wearing white masks, came forward to greet them.

"Third Seat Urahara, you've arrived."

"Tsukabishi Kidō is instructing the team members on training. Please follow me."

Urahara nodded.

"Please show me the way."

The two team members glanced at Wang Xun but didn't ask any further questions, then turned and led the way.

After passing through the front porch, the view suddenly opened up before me.

Inside the vast training ground, dozens of members of the Kidō Corps stood scattered.

Some were practicing incantations for the Kidō, while others gathered together to discuss the principles of the spells.

Among them, a tall figure stood with his back to the door, observing everyone's actions.

The man wore a magnificent deep purple robe, had thick, short black hair, wore square glasses, and was tall and imposing with a calm demeanor.

The supreme commander of the Kidō Corps, the Great Kidō Master, Tessai Tsukabishi.

Wang Xun's gaze swept across the entire room.

Just as he expected, there was an unusually abundant supply of Reiryoku Fragment here.

[Gained 56 Reiryoku Fragment, +560 Spiritual Might Experience]

[Gained 66 Kidō Insights, Kidō Experience Points +660]

The fragments flowed in like a stream, transforming into Reiatsu and insights from studying the Kidō, continuously pouring into Wang Xun's body.

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

After this experience entered his body, Wang Xun gained new knowledge in his mind: advanced techniques for Dual Incantation in the Kidō.

Wang Xun was taken aback and looked at the source of the fragment: Tessai Tsukabishi.

Tessai Tsukabishi stood on the field, instructing several team members.

Two orbs of Reiatsu floated in front of him, one blue and one red, each fluctuating at a different frequency.

"The essence of Dual Incantation is not merely chanting two incantations simultaneously."

Tessai Tsukabishi's voice was steady, powerful, and clearly audible.

"The Reiatsu fluctuations of the two incantations must also complement each other, intertwining like a spiral."

He held out his hands in a cupped gesture, and the two orbs of light began to slowly approach each other.

"Notice that the Shakkahō's Reiatsu characteristics are explosiveness and diffusion, while the Sōkatsui's characteristics are condensation and penetration."

"The goal is to combine the two, not to force a fusion; to retain continuity during the outburst and maintain cohesion during the diffusion."

There was no expected conflict or explosion at the moment the light spheres made contact.

The blue and red Reiatsu began to intertwine like threads, forming a composite structure with inner and outer layers.

The outer layer is crimson, the inner layer is cyan; they are both independent and resonate with each other.

This is the basic form of Dual Incantation.

Tessai Tsukabishi maintained that composite structure.

"First, master the Dual Incantation of the same type of Kidō, such as two Hadō or two Bakudō."

"Once you're proficient, you can try different attributes, even combinations of Hadō and Bakudō."

He dispersed the Kidō Reiatsu in front of him and looked at the team members around him.

"Now, each of you practice the Dual Incantation for both Shakkahō and Sōkatsui, starting with Reiatsu simulation."

The team members responded by dividing into groups and began to try.

Wang Xun stood on the sidelines, his eyes fixed on the players who were practicing.

In his view, each of their attempts would scatter some fragments.

The system kept popping up notifications.

Just then, an accident occurred during one of the team members' practice sessions.

He attempted to simultaneously simulate the Reiatsu structures of the Shakkahō and the Sōkatsui, but the two Reiatsu clashed violently when they converged.

Amidst flashes of blue and red light, Reiatsu began to spiral out of control.

"Stay calm!"

Tessai Tsukabishi gave a low shout and pointed a finger through the air.

An instantaneous Bakudō enveloped the team member, forcibly calming the impending clash of Reiatsu.

The team member was pale and covered in sweat, clearly terrified.

Don't be too hasty; proceed steadily and surely.

Tessai Tsukabishi walked up to him.

"The first step in Dual Incantation is to thoroughly understand the Reiatsu structure of each individual incantation."

"You haven't even mastered the basic Reiatsu waveforms of the two Hadō, yet you try to force synchronization; naturally, you'll fail."

He turned to all the team members.

"Remember, there are no shortcuts in the cultivation of the Kidō. Every step must be solid and firm, otherwise it will be like a tall building built on quicksand, which will collapse sooner or later."

The team members responded in unison.

"Yes, Great Kidō Priest!"

Tessai Tsukabishi nodded, then noticed Urahara and Wang Xun on the sidelines.

"Urahara, you've arrived."

He walked over, his gaze lingering on Wang Xun for a moment.

Who is this?
