Soul Society.

This is a world where the God of Death and the souls of people who have died in this world live together.

If I have to describe what kind of place this is, I can only say that this is a world with a very deep hierarchy.

It is like the era when samurai were still walking freely in the world. The buildings are a bit retro and have a sense of age. The streets are rarely paved with stone bricks. They are basically repaired dirt roads. People on the street The clothes are mainly kimonos, which makes people feel like they have returned to the Taisho era, or even an even more distant era.

Of course, this is just a place where ordinary souls live.

Soul Society is generally divided into two parts, one is the Soul Palace located in the center, and the other is the Rukongai that surrounds the entire Soul Palace.

The residents of the Seireitei are the gods of death, nobles, and the main ruling class in the Soul Society.

The residents of Rukongai are ordinary souls. They are divided into four directions: east, west, north and south. Each direction is divided into eighty districts. One district is closest to the Seireitei and has the best security, and the eighty districts are It is the farthest away from Jinglingting, so it is the place with the worst security.

Every soul sent to Soul Society by the God of Death will randomly come to a certain area in Rukongai. The other party will find a suitable family here, gather together to live with each other, and become family members and relatives.

Because of the rules of Soul Society, even souls who died at the same place in the same place rarely come to the same area. Therefore, the families in Rukongai are basically new families formed just to stay together and keep warm. They are not relatives who lived together during their lifetime.

Of course, as a place where ordinary people live, life in Rukongai is not rich, but relatively poor, and the farther away from the Seireitei, the poorer it becomes.

If you want to leave Rukongai and enter the wealthy Seireitei, there is usually only one way.

That is to possess spiritual power and enter the only academy with a nurturing function in the soul world, the Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy, to study.

The Mao Spiritual Academy was established thousands of years ago by Yamamoto Genryanagi Shigekuni, the captain of the Gotei 13 Corps, to cultivate future members of the Oni Dao Sect, Secret Maneuvers, and the Gotei 13 Corps, allowing ordinary souls to gain strength.

Become an educational institution for Death.

The door here is always open, and others are always welcome to enroll. Even if you are from Rukongai, as long as you pass the exam, you can enroll and learn how to become a Shinigami here.

In the Reitei, those Shinigami who came from Rukongai are almost all graduates of this academy, whether they are the Gotei Thirteen that specializes in guarding Totama Realm and the real world, the covert maneuvers that specialize in performing highly secretive tasks, or the special There are a large number of original residents of Rukongai who have graduated from the Onidoshu who are engaged in tasks such as opening passages, opening barriers, and sealing dangerous objects.

Its registration location is also completely open to the public. It is in the west block of Soul Society's Rukongai. You can reach it by going one hundred meters south from the White Gate used to enter the Reitei, and then turn right.

Today, at this registration point, an entrance exam is going on like a fire.

"Lingwei Grade 21! Passed!"

"Level 23 Lingwei! Passed!"

"Lingwei is not up to standard! Unqualified!"

"Unqualified!"

"Unqualified!"

Amidst the loud voices, some of the people gathered here who were taking the entrance exam showed joy.

Some showed sadness, some were nervous, and some were calm and composed, so that all aspects of life are displayed here.

A group of people dressed in smart white clothes, obviously people from the Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy, organized the entrance examination.

The content of the exam is also very simple, it is to test Lingwei.

The so-called spirit power refers to the concentration of spiritual pressure that resides in the spirit body. It is a unit of measurement originally used by nobles.

Any existence with spiritual power must have some strong and some weak spiritual power.

Reiatsu refers to the density of the soul.

The greater the density of the soul, the stronger the spiritual pressure, and the relationship between it and spiritual power is like the relationship between water and water pressure, atmosphere and air pressure.

The person with strong spiritual pressure can use more spiritual power, and the control ability depends on each person's ability.

Spiritual power is a measure of the upper and lower limits of spiritual pressure. The higher the level of spiritual power, the higher the spiritual potential that an individual can unleash. Therefore, the level of spiritual power has become the admission standard for Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy. .

If you want to enter the Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy to study, you must have at least a twenty-fifth level of spiritual power.

If you don't even have the twenty-fifth level of spiritual power, you will be rejected by Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy.

The higher the level of spiritual power, the more attention one will receive in Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy.

It's a pity that the entrance examination has been going on until now, and no one has appeared who has reached the twentieth level of spiritual power.

Level 20 spiritual power, this is already the normal spiritual power level for previous graduates of Zhenou Spiritual Arts Academy, and it is also the normal spiritual power level for ordinary members of the Gotei Thirteen Team.

If there is a student who has reached the 20th level of spiritual power before entering school, then this person can normally study smoothly until graduation.

As for those with tenth rank and above, they are already genuine geniuses, and can even become the chief officer in the Gotei 13.

In previous entrance exams, whenever a person with spiritual power reaching level ten or above appears, this person will immediately become a fragrant person.

But there are too few such talents, and sometimes one may not appear in several sessions.

However, today, the history of Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy is destined to be severely recorded.

When a burst of light that was as dazzling as a light explosion appeared on an instrument used to test spiritual power, the whole place fell into sluggish silence.

A young man who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old stood in front of the instrument, placed a hand on it, and was bathed in the light.

Next to him, a member of the Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy in white clothes was struck by the bright light and lost his voice on the spot. After a while, he stammered and spoke.

"Ling, Lingwei...? Second class!"

Second-class spiritual power!

This word made everyone present feel dizzy.

After a long time, there was a huge uproar in the whole place, and there was also a terrible sensation.

Soul Society, Jing Ling Ting.

As the center and important place of Tohunkai, this place is a completely different world from Rukongai.

It is quite huge, with an area of ​​about 418,327 square miles and a radius of about 365 miles. The whole place is made up of huge streets arranged in a circle. If you walk for a week, it will take about forty days to complete.

The environment in Lingting is also very beautiful, with large grasslands and low mountains. Most of the buildings on the streets are stone houses with tiled roofs and a pleasant appearance.

Compared to this place, Rukongai is a complete slum.

The walls around the Jingling Pavilion are also built with murderous stones that can block spiritual power. This murderous stone can release fluctuations that decompose spiritual power, creating a spherical protective shield that spreads out from the air to the ground to protect the Lingting. , souls with ordinary spiritual power cannot break through this place and enter it. It can be said to be an extremely clear separation between classes and civilians, which can be called the extreme embodiment of the hierarchy.

But today, in this spiritual palace, there were many voices discussing the residents of Rukongai.

"Have you heard? A student with second-class spiritual power appeared at Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy this year!"

"He seems to be a resident of Rukongai, right? And he's from the back area————

"No way? Second-class spiritual power?"

“Isn’t that a captain-level spiritual power?!”

"Why would such a genius appear in a place like Rukongai?"

"Second-class spiritual power. That's a level of spiritual power that even some captains haven't reached. A commoner from Rukongai has a spiritual power that exceeds that of some captains just after he entered school?"

"It's a lie, right?"

"It's true. I heard that the captains of each team were alarmed, and many people in the team building are discussing this matter."

"I heard that the commander-in-chief was alarmed."

"This is really—"

Shinigami wearing black kimonos and carrying Zanpakutos on their waists were either walking on the street or appearing in a certain building, gathering together in twos and threes to discuss the same topic.

Many people were surprised by this incident, and even more were shocked.

There is no way, the second-level spiritual power is too scary.

You must know that among the Gotei 13 teams that guard the safety of the Soul Palace and are responsible for maintaining the order of the soul world and the world, there are only a handful of Shinigami who can reach the second level of spiritual power.

The Gotei 13, as the name suggests, has a total of thirteen divisions. The members are all Shinigami, and their levels are extremely clear.

Each branch of the Gotei 13 has a captain, a vice-captain, and a number of chief officers. The seats of the chief officers are generally arranged in order of strength, and the latter position needs to assist the person in front.

The vice-captain needs to assist the captain, the third officer needs to assist the vice-captain, the fourth officer needs to assist the third officer, and so on, until finally, each division has an average of more than 200 grassroots members. scholar.

Among these many Shinigami, the average team member's spiritual power is only around the 20th level, and the 10th level spiritual power is already qualified to become a chief officer. The deputy captain's spiritual power level is only the fourth or fifth level. Even the captain Super god of death,

Lingwei is only the third level.

Second-class spiritual power?

What is this concept?

Still a new student?

What is this concept?

Anyway, the entire Jingling Palace was in a sensation, and even the high-ranking nobles were alarmed by this. People from all walks of life began to confirm the authenticity of the news, and some people even walked out of their residences and went to the Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy.

And in the first team building of Seireitei, in the room of the captain of the Gotei 13 team, an old man was sitting here.

He was an old man with a calm and solemn appearance, and a slightly kind attitude.

The old man has no hair on his head, many wrinkles on his face, protruding cheekbones, and a cross-shaped scar formed by two stab wounds on the right side of his forehead. He has long eyebrows and a beard, and a silver-white beard that hangs down with a purple belt. He has a strong body. He was also wearing a Beijing purple haori.

At this time, there was a person's intelligence information on the copy in front of the old man.

"Eze.—"

Looking at the names on the information, the old man was thoughtful.
