Would You Like to Join the Fourth Division?

Hearing Kisuke Urahara's teasing voice, Wang Xun curled his lip.

The two walked down the steps and retraced their steps.

"Speaking of which," Urahara suddenly asked, "How did you feel practicing the Double Incantation technique today?"

Wang Xun pondered for a moment.

"Not bad. The improvement in Reiatsu control is obvious, especially in the perception of the details of different Kidō."

"Furthermore, the technique of Dual Incantation has given me a lot of inspiration; I never knew Reiatsu could be woven and fused in this way."

"A very apt description."

Urahara nodded.

"The essence of Kidō is to construct a spell using Reiatsu, and then use incantations of spiritual words as a guide to activate it. Low-level Kidō has a simple structure, while high-level Kidō has a complex construction."

"Multiple Kidō involve constructing multiple structures simultaneously and having them work together."

He paused, then looked at Wang Xun.

"How long do you think it will take you to truly master Dual Incantation?"

Wang Xun pondered for a moment.

"If it's just simulating Reiatsu, we've already done it today. But to apply it in real combat, it will probably require a lot more practice."

"You're being modest. Judging from your progress, it doesn't seem like it will take long."

Urahara laughed.

Do you know the average time it takes for members of the Kidō Corps to learn Dual Incantation, from initial practice to being able to apply it in actual combat?

"How long?"

"More than a year, and that's for those talented players; very few can achieve that."

Urahara said softly.

"In the Thirteenth Division, those who can perform Double Incantation are all at the Vice-Captain-level."

Wang Xun remained silent.

Urahara glanced at him and continued.

"That's why Mr. Tsukabishi values you so much. Just by observing for a moment, you were able to simulate a basic form. That's truly astonishing."

"Speaking of which, how's your study of the Kaidō going?"

"Not bad, they've already started experimenting with organ repair techniques under Lieutenant Yamada's guidance."

"Organ repair, isn't that Advanced Kaidō close to the Vice-Captain-level...?"

Kisuke Urahara slightly widened his eyes.

Wang Xun's progress in such a short time is astonishing.

"This is really..."

Kisuke Urahara shook his head, unsure of what to say.

As they approached the Second Division's barracks, Wang Xun suddenly spoke.

"When can I get a proposal for the Third Seat Urahara hot spring improvement project?"

"What's the rush?"

"Yes." Wang Xun nodded. "If possible, I'd like to proceed as soon as possible."

Urahara thought for a moment.

"This is no small project. I need to organize some data and do a preliminary cost calculation. However..."

He looked at Wang Xun.

"If this project is really to start, the investment will be substantial."

"Don't worry, Lieutenant Ōmaeda has spoken to me. The shops in the aristocratic district are almost ready."

"You won't be shortchanged on initial funding."

Kisuke Urahara's lips curled up.

"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

The two parted ways at the main gate of the Second Division.

Urahara went to organize materials, while Wang Xun went to the captain's office and explained the matter of the Kidō Corps's extracurricular study to Yoruichi.

Yoruichi was surprised, but ultimately agreed.

After all, Tessai Tsukabishi and she were old acquaintances. Although she didn't know what her old friend was thinking, she still gave him face.

Back in his dorm, Wang Xun leaned against his bed and let out a long sigh of relief.

There was a lot of information today.

Wang Xun closed his eyes and began to organize his day's gains.

The progress is going fairly well.

Wang Xun's gaze fell on the Spiritual Might experience bar.

Based on the current pace of fragment absorption within the Fourth Division, coupled with the replenishment from the Kidō Corps, their Spiritual Might breaking through to the sixth rank is just around the corner.

After all this time, I've only just reached the Spiritual Might level that Kaien joined the team. I really don't know what to say.

Fortunately, there's still Kisuke Urahara.

Once the hot springs are fully developed, there should still be some hope for improving one's Spiritual Might level.

As night deepened outside the window, lights began to illuminate various parts of the Seireitei.

In the distance, towards the Second Division's barracks, several figures could be vaguely seen moving quickly on the rooftops; they were likely carrying out a night mission.

The next day, Wang Xun went to the Fourth Division as scheduled.

When they Kiyōnosuke Yamada again, they nodded to each other and greeted each other; the two had become quite familiar with each other.

Meanwhile, Kiyōnosuke Yamada seems to have gradually come to accept Wang Xun.

After all, Wang Xun's current level of Kaidō is considered quite advanced even within the Fourth Division.

With a little more practice, I can learn from Captain Unohana.

After tonight's study session, the team members got up to leave, but Kiyōnosuke Yamada called out to Wang Xun.

Although his expression remained serious, the aloofness in his eyes had lessened.

"Lieutenant Yamada, what is it?"

Yamada placed a dark wooden box on the table.

"Captain Unohana asked me to bring you some things."

Wang Xun looked at the wooden box, the lid of which was engraved with the emblem of the Fourth Division.

"This is..."

"Some classic texts on Kaidō higher levels, as well as notes compiled by the captain."

Yamada opened the box, inside which were seven or eight books and a scroll neatly stacked.

"The captain said you have great talent, and this information should be helpful to you."

Wang Xun picked up the top book.

Detailed Explanation of Spiritual Body Meridians - A Critical Commentary on the Unohana

Turning to the title page, one finds numerous annotations written in delicate yet strong handwriting.

From the basic principles of Reiatsu flow to the application techniques of advanced Kaidō, the explanations are clear, concise, and easy to understand.

"This is truly precious..."

"Lieutenant Yamada, please thank Captain Unohana for me."

Wang Xun closed the book and said earnestly.

"These materials are extremely valuable."

"The captain values your talent, so work hard and don't let her down."

"That's natural."

Yamada was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"I heard that you will be making time to visit the Kidō Corps later?"

Wang Xun's heart stirred.

"That's true. Kaidō is a branch of the Kidō), and both involve the use of Reiatsu. So I wanted to go and see if we could find common ground and understand each other."

Yamada stared at Wang Xun.

"If it were a teammate, I would definitely criticize them. But since you're not my teammate, and Kaidō learning progress is unusually fast, I can't really say anything."

"You know what you're doing, so just do what you're supposed to do and don't waste your talent."

After saying that, Kiyōnosuke Yamada turned to leave, but stopped at the door.

Yamada turned his head slightly and looked at Wang Xun.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke softly.

"Speaking of which, have you ever considered joining the Fourth Division?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xun slowed his movements slightly and looked up at Kiyōnosuke Yamada.

"What does Lieutenant Yamada mean by this?"

"... It was just a casual remark. Your talent for Kaidō the Dao can only be fully utilized within the Fourth Division."

"Is this also Captain Unohana's intention?"

"No, it has nothing to do with the captain, it's just my personal opinion."

Seeing Wang Xun's thoughtful expression, Yamada's gaze darkened slightly.

"Never mind, forget I said anything."

Kiyōnosuke Yamada didn't turn around and walked straight out of the room.

Wang Xun watched Yamada's departing figure, lost in thought.
