Death god, my Zanpakuto is a bit trendy

"No, it's a small pill invented by Captain Hikifune."

Haruto replied.

——As for more things, it was obviously not convenient for him to reveal them.

"Is Kiryu Hikifune from Division 12?"

Sentetsu Kiba is qualified to call Captain Hikifune by his first name. After all, there seem to be very few people in the Gotei 13 who are older than her.

"No wonder..."

"This thing you are eating has been mass-produced?"

"No, limited by the raw materials, it seems that only three were made... It seems that I am the only one who can exert such an effect."

Haruto shook his head and denied.

"What is so precious?"

"Vastod's spiritual pressure fragment."

"......No wonder."

Three simple words confirmed Haruto's previous guess about Captain Yamamoto defeating his opponent with a white blow.

"Unfortunately, this is not an area I can challenge."

"The most recent record in Soul Society was Vastod, who was killed by Kenpachi Kariyashiki, the captain of the 11th Division at the time."

When the name of Kariyashiki Kenpachi was mentioned, the light in Sentetsu's eyes was the same as when he mentioned Captain Yamamoto.

It is clear.

Shooting field Qiantetsu's dissatisfaction with the current eleventh squad is precisely because of the huge sense of gap.

The captains of the 11th Division before Kiugashiro were all super strong men worthy of the title of Kenpachi... Of course, among them was Molejo Shuuya who had just been imprisoned in Mugenri a few years ago.

"Haruto-kun."

Shooting range Sentetsu quickly gave up on the unrealistic idea.

She is very aware of the gap between herself and Vastod, and a Daxu of this level will almost never appear in Soul Society. Going to Hueco Mundo to actively search for him is a death-seeking act.

"You are also quite proficient in Shunpo."

This is emotional intelligence.

Haruto's Shunpo skills can only be considered average, and his speed is a few points faster than ordinary Shunpo. This is entirely due to his physical advantage.

"How about trying to break through the second and third floors in one go?"

"..."

Haruto thought in silence for a while.

"I appreciate your kindness."

"But these two stages..."

"I still want to study Bone Attack carefully by myself first, otherwise I will have to rely on you to guide me..."

"I'm worried that when the time comes, it won't be good if the final fourth layer becomes dependent."

In the end, he rejected the kindness of Shooting Range Qiantetsu.

"..."

"good!"

Not only did Sentetsu Shouba not show any displeasure, but he happily praised Haruto.

"If people were as enlightened as you are, my idiot son would have been more successful than he is now."

"Haruto-kun."

"When your bone attack progresses to the fourth level..."

With Qian Tie's strength at the shooting range, he was a little embarrassed to say it.

"Don't worry, I will report to you when the time comes."

"Need not."

"ah?"

Shooting range Chitetsu's rejection was really unexpected.

"When the time comes, you can go to Captain Yamamoto for advice."

"I will write you a letter of recommendation and give it to the deputy captain of the Que Department when the time comes. He will help you make the recommendation."

"..."

Haruto didn't take the initiative to answer the call.

Let me introduce this thing, Haruto has experienced a lot today.

Jiro Chojiro, deputy captain of the first team.

Under Captain Yamamoto, the captain-level Shinigami has served for more than a thousand years. In terms of lifespan, he can be regarded as one of the three longest-living people in the Seireitei.

In front of Chojiro, Shooting Field Sentetsu was not much different from a little girl.

But in the entire Soul Society...the little girl who lived quite a long time is indeed worthy of being remembered by Takuchojiro.

"It doesn't matter whether I can get to this point, as long as the bone attack can be approved by Captain Yamamoto——"

"that's enough."

Shooting range Qiante said with emotion.

"......I see."

Haruto left the third division team building.

Unfortunately.

Although Haruto didn't want to do this, he did lie a lot today... although it was all out of good intentions to prevent others from breaking down.

When he was practicing bone beating just now, Haruto was not strengthening the skin at all, but was doing it directly from the outside to the inside!

That's right.

After taking Tianzhu Pills for more than half a year, Haruto's body has almost perfectly adapted to the bone training method.

The whole process went smoothly without any hindrance.

"Bone beating..."

"I've basically mastered it."

Haruto has understood all the principles of bone fighting.

The four steps divided by Shooting Range Sentetsu for each stage are exactly the strengthening of the Shinigami's own defense, strength and flexibility.

As for the fourth level of bone forging...

In fact, it does not make the practitioner stronger and more durable, but it makes the body's recovery ability greater.

promote--

To use a simple and easy-to-understand metaphor, that is bone marrow hematopoiesis.

By strengthening the bones, practitioners can convert spiritual pressure into "blood" very quickly, thereby completing the body's high-speed regeneration; although it is not as exaggerated as Daxu's speed, it is definitely beyond the realm of Death itself.

"The ability of bone fighting is actually beyond the understanding of Sentetsu the shooter. Compared with Captain Yamamoto's one bone, it is completely in two directions..."

"If you think so, then I'm too arrogant."

Haruto gave a bitter smile.

He cast his eyes on the arm hidden in the long sleeves, where the most important reason for him to leave early was:

Hardened skin.

To be more specific, a pale white substance similar to the false face just appeared on Haruto's body - it has strong defense, but it looks really weird, and it is the kind that will most likely be caught if discovered.

"My bone fight..."

"The root cause of the mutation into this appearance is probably still the Tenru Pill."

Haruto has never taken anything related to the Great Hollow.

"The power from Vastode, combined with Vastode's training or fighting method, eventually makes the ability similar to Vastode."

"..."

"I really don't know whether this is good or bad."

Haruto rubbed his arm hard.

The "bone armor" that became fragile due to the lack of spiritual pressure replenishment was quickly crushed into powder and fell off the body surface.

The bad thing is that this trick is difficult to use in public, and the good thing is... Haruto has also broken the boundary between the god of death and the hollow to a certain extent.

It's just that the method is a bit playful, and the process is not rigorous enough to be replicated.

"If it weren't for the strange thing on my face, I would have wanted to go to old man Kuchiki and surrender immediately."

"......"

"It seems."

Haruto stretched out his arm.

The originally dark and rough skin actually began to turn smooth and delicate near the part where the bone armor was attached.

"Several times I felt that my recovery speed was too fast, and it was neither due to spiritual pressure nor illusion."

Haruto remembered his battle with the giant hollow in the 66th area. At that time, he had just taken the medicine not long ago, and it was when the effect of Tenru Pill was the strongest.

"But speaking of it."

"This is only half of the blueprint drawn by the shooting range Sentetsu."

Haruto put his palm in his pocket.

He did not continue to try to strengthen it. After all, this is inside the Soul Society, and the operation method mixed with the spiritual pressure of the giant hollow will be easily discovered.

"I have mastered the 'training' method from the outside to the inside, and the next step is the 'hitting' method from the inside to the outside."

"Although Shooting Range Sentetsu didn't mention it, this should be a public skill of the Third Division. I'll go find someone I know..."

"Togakushi Momoma."

Haruto immediately thought of a familiar name.

Togakushi Momoma did not attend the previous noble meeting, but his image was used by Sato Tsunayayo to deceive Haruto.

The ability of bone and flesh craftsmanship is indeed abnormal, but after communicating with Byakuya, Haruto also knew the weakness of this Zanpakutō: the premise of completely imitating the god of death requires that the target must be a creature that the holder is very familiar with.

This shortcoming is easy for Sato Tsunayayo to solve, but for the god of death who is toyed with by her...

That is a very serious handle.

The way to obtain the 'hitting' method should be the easiest to break through here.

"This guy is simply perfect."

Haruto decided to go back to the Maou Spiritual Academy first and find Togakushi Likong to tell his dear brother a few words.

Five months later

Recently, the number of Shinigami in charge of East Ryuhun Street has been decreasing.

It's not that the other directions have become busier, but simply because the traces of Hollow activity in the first thirty districts of East Ryuhun Street have been decreasing madly.

Not long ago, the attack on the noble residence area by the Hollow caused panic among the people and led to the migration of a large number of nobles.

In just half a year.

The situation changed so suddenly that the Shinigami, who were originally worried, became confused.

"Bang!"
