A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 496 489. Don’t be too competitive

This is not a simple 'sword awarding ceremony', but a ceremony announcing that the war is about to begin. Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni wanted to take this opportunity to let all the Shinigami, who are the main fighting force in Soul Society, understand that the days of peace will not last long.

"Then, if you have decided, then make your choice? If you are afraid, you may even give up on becoming the God of Death. This is your right."

The old man looked extremely serious, "Of course, if you choose to fight, then you must be prepared to sacrifice on the battlefield at any time."

After saying this, the venue fell into silence again.

The Shinigami who had just been awarded the Zanpakutō looked hesitantly at the captains standing in a row.

Which squad they join will determine their future destiny. Although each squad has its own responsibilities, once the war really breaks out, no squad can stay out of it. Even the fourth squad, which is responsible for treatment and supplies, will inevitably go to the front line for support. , so no place is absolutely safe.

In this light, maybe quitting is the best option?

But who is willing to quit now? After finally passing the test and becoming a real god of death, it would be too embarrassing if he chose to give up in front of so many people.

They set their sights on Mari Kuchiki, who ranked first in grades, perhaps because they all wanted to use her choice as a reference.

But unfortunately, Mari Kuchiki didn't move. She just stood there with a frown on her face, seemingly still hesitating.

And her hesitation made everyone who looked at her even more worried, because as the eldest daughter of the Kuchiki clan, it was almost predetermined that she would join the sixth division, captained by Jun Kuchiki, the head of the Kuchiki clan, but now she hesitated , which makes people feel that the situation has become more serious.

"Is she going to give up becoming the God of Death? No way..."

Someone was talking quietly.

"Not necessarily... If the war that is about to break out this time is really so cruel, maybe Captain Kuchiki will really let his daughter give up becoming a god of death for the sake of her safety."

"Forget it, it's none of our business. Let's choose first. How about joining the fourth team together?"

"..."

Listening to the discussions of these students, Shiba Jinbei was speechless for a while.

"The old man will really cause trouble for us..."

He had said before that most people looked down upon their Fourth Division, and they could enjoy their leisure time without recruiting people. Unexpectedly, their Fourth Division had become the first choice at this moment.

"But...it seems good to really start a war, right?"

Xuan Hao on the side didn't care at all, and even had a smile on his face.

"You really... don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement..."

Of course Shiba Jinbei saw the smile on Xuanhao's face and felt a little helpless, but...

"I think it's not bad~"

"Hahaha."

The two looked at each other and hit it off immediately.

There is no way to practice faster than actual combat.

Xuanhao needs to know more about the way people in this world fight in order to use this as a reference to start thinking about the path he wants to take, while Shiba Jinbei, because of the Zanpakutō, can only become stronger by fighting.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the Fourth Division is no longer the unit that was only responsible for treatment and supplies, because the captain and deputy captain are now worried about the world being in chaos.

"Forehead……"

At this moment, the fourth team was almost the focus of the entire venue, and the performance of Xuanhao and Shiba Jinbe was naturally visible to everyone.

The person who wanted to join the fourth team panicked when he saw the weird smiles on the faces of the two captains, and stopped, "Why do you feel... something is not right?"

But when Mari Kuchiki saw this scene, an inexplicable glint flashed in her eyes, and she began to become excited.

Sure enough, she guessed right. Something had definitely changed in the Fourth Division. At least the rumored unreliable captain and the vice-captain without spiritual pressure were definitely not ordinary people.

She set her sights on Xuan Hao.

She couldn't feel any spiritual pressure from this man, but during the previous 'actual test', this man came behind her silently like a ghost.

You know, the lack of spiritual pressure does not mean that she cannot detect this person's movements. Ordinary souls also have no spiritual pressure, but every move of an ordinary soul cannot escape the perception of these gods of death.

Therefore, she judged that this man must have hidden his spiritual pressure in some way. His own strength may be stronger than the captain of the fourth team. Otherwise, how could the captain obey the deputy captain?

"It's decided! Join the Fourth Division."

A smile appeared on Kuchiki Mari's face.

At this moment, she was absolutely sure that the Fourth Division was a place where dragons and tigers were hidden.

She wants to become stronger here and let her father recognize her. She wants to climb up step by step with her own strength and prove to everyone that her success is not because of her background in the Kuchiki family. She does not care about that. Plant something!

······

Two months later.

In the dojo used for training by the Seireitei, the light of swords flashed like falling cherry blossoms.

The Senbonzakura in Mari Kuchiki's hand has begun to be released and is constantly attacking Shiba Jinbei.

"Relax your body and try to become one with your Zanpakutō."

Shiba Jinbei took the attack from the girl in front of him while guiding the opponent to fight.

"..."

Xuan Hao stood aside silently and watched the battle.

Fusion with the Zanpakutō? It's easy to say...

Until now, the Zanpakuto in his hand is still a "shallow attack" that has not yet been solved.

Over the past two months, he has been observing the battle between these two people every day, trying to discern some clues from their initial interpretations, but unfortunately, there has been no progress at all.

He still had no way to communicate with 'Qian Da'.

Not only that, during his stay in Soul Society, he learned almost all the Shinigami's cultivation methods, but none of these methods seemed to work on him.

The problem is not the method, but the obstruction of the power of those two laws.

"What a waste of effort..."

Xuan Hao sighed.

It seems that the fundamental problem still lies in the two forces of law. Destruction and rebirth are reincarnated in him, forming a perfect closed-loop structure. Nothing in the outside world can affect him, which means that he cannot change his path and follow the path of death. The path of spiritual practice.

It was a wrong decision from the beginning to want to master the soul power by referring to Death's practice method, because the path he wanted to take was destined to be different from Death's.

"What a waste of effort!?"

When Mari Kuchiki heard Xuanhao saying such words next to him, his hair suddenly exploded.

After all, this person has been watching her training. In her opinion, what else could this mean besides evaluating her?

"I'm not talking about you."

Xuan Hao helplessly raised the dagger in his hand, "I'm talking about myself."

"Still can't figure it out?"

After Kuchiki Mari stopped attacking, Shiba Jinbei also turned his attention to Xuanhao.

"no way."

Xuan Hao spread his hands and said, "My situation seems a bit special."

"What's special?"

Shiba Jinbei was a little puzzled. Of course he is also aware of the problems that have troubled this man for a long time.

Speaking of which, it seemed like he had encountered this man's situation for the first time.

In other words, it seems to be the first time it appears in Soul Society.

Generally speaking, people without spiritual pressure are destined to have no talent. It is normal to be unable to communicate with Zanpakutō. After all, Shinigami with a little talent are able to communicate with shallow attacks and complete the first attack.

But you want to say that this man has no talent?

Are you kidding? Have you ever seen an untalented guy who can beat a captain-level person?

He had fought Xuan Hao more than once and never won.

Although I don't know how much power this man hides, at least he is not weaker than himself. This man's strength cannot be measured by spiritual pressure.

Before understanding the situation, he had always thought that this man had a Zanpakutō, and even had a swastika, but he was not in the form of a blade like himself, so he failed to discover it.

But after understanding the situation, he realized how terrifying this man was.

Such a powerful person has not even begun to understand! It's like this man is born to be one level higher than other gods of death, completely beyond one dimension!

A person who has combat power above the captain level without relying on his Zanpakutō in a normal state, how terrifying would he be if he was first released or even after the 'Swastika Release'?

"What are you two talking about?"

Kuchiki Mari frowned and looked at Shiba Jinbei and then at Xuanhao.

"What do you mean? What is there no beginning to understand?"

"Oh...literally."

Xuan Hao sighed, "You also saw my Zanpakutō, it's still the original 'shallow attack', which means I don't even know how to use it now."

"Huh? Are you kidding!?"

Mari Kuchiki was stunned, "I remember that you are obviously better than... than the captain!"

It has been two months since she came to the Fourth Division, and she has a basic understanding of the situation in the team. For example, the strongest combat power in the Fourth Division now is not Shiba Jinbei as the captain, but the person in front of her who claims A guy who doesn't even know how to understand it himself.

Speaking of which...she seems to have never seen this guy take action...it can't be that he really doesn't understand, right?

No, no, no, this is absolutely impossible! ?

You know, Shiba Jinbei is already considered very strong among the Shinigami. The only ones who are stronger are the Shinigami who have mastered the 'Swastika' like her father. She had always regarded this guy as a person of this level before, but now it's better. , this guy suddenly said, "I haven't even begun to understand it yet."

Isn't this a pure attack on people?

If they are so powerful without Shijie, wouldn't their Shijie be like a joke?

It's like everyone has just graduated from Yuanzi School and hasn't received a "shallow beating" yet, but this classmate is already extremely capable of beating captain-level figures.

"Okay, girl, this guy is a monster, you can't envy him."

Shiba Jinbei sighed, with an expression that looked down on everything.

He had become so accustomed to being hit that he was even numb. He originally thought that Captain Unohana was already a monster, but when he met this guy, he realized that he had been severely beaten by Captain Unohana before.

"We can't generalize between people. It's better for us to be ourselves honestly."

"Hmph, I wouldn't envy you."

Mari Kuchiki took back his Zanpakutō and hummed, "One day, I will surpass you."

"Oh? Does this mean that you want to take away my position as vice-captain?"

Xuan Hao chuckled and looked at the stubborn girl in front of him.

After two months of observation, he had probably figured out the relationship between this girl and the soul fragment.

The Zanpakutō is a manifestation of the soul. Each Zanpakutō has its own thoughts and personality. It is not a simple weapon, but the Zanpakutō may also change under the influence of its owner.

In layman's terms, a Zanpakutō will become more and more like its owner. Perhaps when this girl communicated with the Zanpakutō and carved the essence of her soul, the soul fragments were carved into the Zanpakutō along with it. This had a special impact on the Zanpakutō.

Therefore, Xuan Hao was able to sense the existence of the soul fragment only when the girl was beginning to understand.

In other words, this girl was the former host of the soul fragment, but for some special reason the fragment was transferred from this girl to her Zanpakutō.

Although he didn't know why this strange situation occurred, it was obvious that he had to take some care of both this girl and this Zanpakutō.

"snort."

Mari Kuchiki made a face, turned around and left the dojo.

"You seem to be quite interested in this child?"

Shiba Jinbei touched his chin and watched the interaction between the two, thoughtfully.

"It was the same during the actual combat assessment before. Others were desperate and didn't see you wanting to rescue him. Only when this child was in danger did I see you wanting to take action."

"well enough."

Xuan Hao lightly shrugged, making no secret of it, "I just think she looks a bit like the sister I'm looking for. A little care wouldn't be a big deal, right?"

"Oh fine."

Seemingly remembering something, Shiba Jinbei frowned, "But don't blame me for not reminding you. This child survived Yhwach before. Although that guy didn't have murderous intentions at the time, he just wanted to use Hollow to solve the problem, but There’s no chance that guy will attack again if he finds out that the child is still alive.”

"Are you afraid that I can't beat that guy?"

Xuanhao smiled softly.

"I didn't know how strong you were."

Shiba Jinbei shook his head slightly, "But even Mr. Yamamoto, who is said to be the strongest in Soul Society, is not sure that he can deal with Yhwach, so it's better to be careful."

"Well, okay~"

Xuanhao thought for a while and nodded lightly.

It seems hard to say whether he will win or lose in a fight between him and Yhwach.

If he is fighting in Soul Society, then all he can rely on is the power of law to protect the indestructible soul body. As for the 'Nibelungen'? He tried it, but it seemed that it could only scare relatively weak souls. After all, this world is dominated by soul power. The top strong people must be able to skillfully control soul power. Obviously, he can't use soul power like these. A guy who specializes in playing with souls.

However... if the battlefield was in the present world, that would be a different matter. He was sure that whether the opponent was Yhwach or not, he would have to turn him into a lapdog.
