Kidō Branch Skill

Wang Xun his head to look at Kisuke Urahara, who was squinting, a hint of amusement in his smile.

"What," Wang Xun pouted, "Are you going to teach me?"

Urahara chuckled and scratched the back of his head.

"I haven't mastered such complex techniques myself, so I'm afraid I can't teach them to you."

"However..."

Kisuke Urahara paused, his gaze falling on Tessai Tsukabishi, who was instructing his team members not far away.

"If you really want to learn, you can ask the Great Kidō Priest; he might grant your request."

Wang Xun looked at Kisuke Urahara with suspicion.

"You seem to have a lot of influence here?"

"Give it a try."

Wang Xun felt that Kisuke Urahara was deceiving him, but he had no proof.

The practice continued on the field, but the atmosphere had subtly changed.

Many team members would still glance in Wang Xun's direction from time to time, their gazes filled with curiosity, scrutiny, and even a hint of competition.

Wang Xun ignored this completely.

His attention returned to the system panel. The observation and experimentation he had just undergone yielded far more valuable results than he had anticipated.

[Spiritual Might: Rank 7 (Experience: 7350/12000)]

[Kidō: Iv5 (Experience: 1830/8000)]

However, at that moment, a new subtitle appeared.

[Unlock Kidō Branch Skill: Dual Incantation (Beginner: 1%)]

Wang Xun's spirits lifted.

This is?

He then discovered that after absorbing the fragments dropped by the surrounding Kidō Corps members, in addition to the Kidō experience points increasing, his proficiency in Dual Incantation also began to slowly increase.

1%...2%...3%...

This surprised Wang Xun quite a bit.

Okay, there's a second phase.

The system actually has this hidden capability.

In that case, there will be many more Kidō Corps coming.

After all, he was quite envious of the advanced technique of Incantation Abandonment.

A short while later, Urahara checked the time and walked over to Wang Xun's side.

"Do you want to continue practicing? It's getting late."

Wang Xun looked around the training ground; there were very few fragments left.

What needed to be absorbed has already been absorbed; there's no point in staying any longer.

"That's enough, let's go."

Urahara nodded knowingly.

Just as the two were about to leave, they heard the steady voice of Tessai Tsukabishi behind them.

"Gentlemen, let me see you out."

As he spoke, Tessai Tsukabishi the lead and walked out of the training field.

Urahara and Wang Xun exchanged a glance and followed.

The three walked through the long corridor, their footsteps echoing in the empty passageway.

"Urahara," Tessai Tsukabishi suddenly spoke, "You just said that Wang Xun Kaidō from his advanced studies in the Fourth Division?"

"Yes," Urahara laughed, "Captain Unohana personally approved it, and I heard she's doing quite well."

After a moment of silence, Tessai Tsukabishi spoke slowly.

"The Kaidō is a branch of the Kidō. Although they have some similarities, they are ultimately two different systems. It is truly not easy to be able to study both and make progress in them."

His gaze shifted to Wang Xun.

"Which unit of the Stealth Force are you in?"

"Directly under the Punishment Force."

Wang Xun answered truthfully.

"Punishment Force..."

"Tessai Tsukabishi said thoughtfully."

"That's a place that hones one's character. I wonder if Lady Yoruichi has any other plans for you?"

Wang Xun pondered for a moment, somewhat unsure of what Tessai Tsukabishi meant.

"I'm still just a regular team member. As for other arrangements, Captain Yoruichi hasn't given any specific instructions."

Tessai Tsukabishi nodded and said nothing more.

The three continued walking, the atmosphere becoming somewhat silent.

Wang Xun was somewhat unsure of Tessai Tsukabishi those questions earlier.

Urahara was sizing up Tessai Tsukabishi's back, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Is Tessai Tsukabishi perhaps intentionally trying to win over Wang Xun?

Is it because of the Kidō abilities he demonstrated?

As they approached the main gate, Tessai Tsukabishi suddenly slowed his pace and looked at Wang Xun again.

"Has your trip today yielded any results?"

Wang Xun pondered for a moment, then answered.

"There has been some gain."

"The technique of Dual Incantation has shown me a deeper possibility in the Kidō."

Tessai Tsukabishi nodded slightly.

"Indeed, the Kidō is not merely a tool for combat, but also a path to explore the essence of Reishi."

He paused, his tone becoming serious.

"But I must remind you that Dual Incantation and even higher levels of Kidō require extremely high levels of Reiatsu control and mental strength."

"If your foundation is not solid, forcing yourself to study will only harm you. Although your attempt today was successful, you still need a lot of practice to truly master it."

"I see."

Wang Xun responded in a deep voice.

Tessai Tsukabishi looked at him, remained silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly asked.

"Would you like to come again in the future?"

The question came suddenly, and Wang Xun was slightly taken aback.

Kisuke Urahara was standing to the side, seemed slightly surprised as well. He hadn't expected Tessai Tsukabishi to bring up this question.

"I have learned a great deal today. I would be delighted to have the opportunity to learn from you again."

Upon hearing Wang Xun's words, Tessai Tsukabishi nodded slightly.

His gaze swept between Urahara and Wang Xun, as if he were weighing something.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke.

"Since you are not a member of the Kidō Corps, it is slightly inconvenient for you to come and go frequently as an outsider."

But then, Tessai Tsukabishi changed the subject.

"However, it's not like there's no way out."

"Tessai Tsukabishi continued."

"When you return, you can report today's events to Lady Yoruichi. If she agrees, I can arrange a non-staff training position for you."

"That way you can come to the Kidō Corps regularly to learn under the guise of cooperation and exchange, which will make it seem legitimate."

Urahara raised an eyebrow.

"Unofficial trainee? I've never heard of that role before."

"It wasn't available before, but it can be now."

Tessai Tsukabishi spoke in a flat tone.

"As a high- Kidō priest, I do have this small amount of power."

He spoke of it casually, but Wang Xun knew that this small amount of power was by no means simple.

Tessai Tsukabishi looked at Wang Xun.

"You've already Kaidō your advanced training in the Fourth Division. If you add the Kidō Corps training to your studies, will you be able to manage your time?"

"Sure, my assignments in the Second Division are relatively flexible. As long as I plan carefully, there shouldn't be any problems."

After a brief silence, Tessai Tsukabishi nodded.

"Alright. Come find me again once you have Lady Yoruichi's permission."

At this moment, the three of them had already arrived at the main gate of the Kidō Corps.

The gate slowly opened, and sunlight streamed into the Seireitei.

"I'll leave you here."

Tessai Tsukabishi stopped in his tracks.

"Urahara, handle the materials according to the usual procedure."

"Understood, thank you for your hospitality today, Great Kidō."

Urahara laughed.

Tessai Tsukabishi nodded, his gaze finally settling on Wang Xun.

"Young man, I hope you cherish your talent."

Having said that, Tessai Tsukabishi turned around, and the door slowly closed behind him.

Wang Xun and Urahara stood on the steps outside the Kidō Corps's gate, the afternoon sun somewhat dazzling.

"I didn't expect that, Wang Xun, the Great Kidō Daoist actually values you quite a bit."

"The Fourth Division again, the Kidō Corps again... Now it seems I'm almost wondering if you're even still considered a member of the Second Division."
