One Punch Man’s Unlimited Luck

The first stage is to get the full approval of Zanpakuto, so that he can tell the God of Death his "real name", and the God of Reaper can completely learn the swastika by liberating the "real name" of Zanpakuto; this stage of comprehension.

The second stage is to further develop one's own swastika after learning the swastika. This stage belongs to the higher-level application stage.

Reaper's cultivation to the level of Swastika is only to break the third bottleneck in the cultivation process; and the next fourth bottleneck requires Reaper to further reach the next stage after Swastika.

In other words, unless the general Shinigami releases Zanpakuto, it is absolutely impossible to cultivate to the level of captain level, even Zaraki Kenpachi is the same.

In the original manga, Zaragi Kenpachi's swastika is called Yachiryu. That's why he can have the power beyond the general captain's swastika without releasing Zanpakuto, because as long as Yaqianliu is by his side, his own spiritual pressure is almost equal to being in a permanent swastika state.

As for the so-called captain level, there are actually two situations. The first one is that without releasing the Zanpakuto, one's own spiritual pressure has reached the genuine captain level. This is the realm that Death can reach after breaking the fourth bottleneck.

Generally speaking, all Shinigami will go further and reach the true captain level only after further developing the Swastika. For example, Kuchiki Byakuya used his own Swastika ability to develop the Knife Scene, Swallow Scene, and Final Scene, which almost changed Swastika's combat methods.

There are also some special gods of death, such as Yamamoto Motoyanagi Shigekuni and Hitsugaya Toshiro who bear the name of "The Strongest Zanpakutō". Their own spiritual pressure has stepped into the real captain level; as for the future, after breaking through the fourth bottleneck, their strength is far beyond that of ordinary captains.

Except for these two extremely rare special cases, basically every shinigami can only truly possess captain-level spiritual pressure after the Swastika is removed.

This is the captain level in the normal sense. It can be seen from the few gods of death who often exploded Reiatsu to suppress opponents in the original anime.

In addition, there are some "special" captain-level death gods. They reached the fourth bottleneck, but did not break through it. In other words, their own spiritual pressure has not been sublimated by breaking the bottleneck, so in terms of spiritual pressure, they are worse than those gods of death who have officially stepped into the captain level.

There are quite a lot of such captains in the world of souls, such as Komamura Zuojin, Tōsenyō, and Suifeng in the original book.

The spiritual pressure of these people is not too high. Strictly speaking, they have not reached the captain level. Their main combat power is to rely on Zanpakuto's special abilities or abilities such as Kido and Shunpo. For example, Komamura Zuojin's Swastika, which can be reborn after being destroyed, and Suifeng's Instant Coax.

This kind of reaper relies on special abilities to make the fighting power of the reaper who does not have a real captain-level spiritual pressure reach the captain level.

In addition to the four bottlenecks of condensing Zanpakuto, Shijie, Swastika, and Swastika's transformation in the practice of Death God, there is a fifth bottleneck, which is the fusion of itself and Zanpakuto. That is the realm reached by Aizen and Kurosaki Ichigo in the moonless state in the original book.

It's just that compared to Aizen, Kurosaki Ichigo's foundation is not good, and he belongs to the level of opening and hanging, so he is unstable and only has the power of one blow. After one blow, the whole person is finished.

There is also Yibingwei, the main soldier of the Zero Division in the original book, he is the closest to this realm among all the gods of death. It can almost be said that he has reached this realm. Otherwise, after being killed by Yuhabach, as long as someone recites his real name, he can be resurrected.

As for Yamamoto Genyakusai Shigekuni, he still has a long way to go before reaching this level.

"I haven't practiced the swastika yet, but the spiritual pressure has reached the captain level. If I continue to strengthen, I'm afraid I don't even need to release Zanpakuto to be able to match Kuchiki Byakuza's swastika!"

"This is the foundation I have accumulated through traveling through many worlds!"

Chapter 36 The Headmaster Invites

There is only one week between each semester at Mao Lingju Academy. And this week, Xing Tao wasted the first three days in the battle of glory, and spent the next few days in the dormitory recuperating and practicing, so no one in the entire academy could see him.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and finally it was time for the second half of the semester to start.

Xingtao and Linglong walked side by side on the road to the college, and countless students pointed at them along the way.

"That's Xingtao, now he looks... so temperamental!"

"I really envy Linglong. There is such a man who is willing to challenge the nobles for her. If there is such a man against me, even if he dies, I am willing!!"

"That's Xingtao and Linglong. I didn't expect to be able to release the Zanpakuto after only half a year of cultivation. This kind of cultivation speed is faster than Captain Hitsugaya's decades ago!"

...

Originally, Xing Tao deliberately kept a low profile in the academy, but with the exposure of this battle, he completely became a big celebrity in the entire Zhenyang Spiritual Art Academy.

Linglong smiled softly, "Xingtao, how does it feel to be admired, envied, and envied by everyone!?"

"It's not the first time!" Xing Tao laughed.

He has already traversed several worlds, even if he didn't grasp the world of "One Punch Man" in his hands, he is still a man who can cause disturbances in all directions. This is not the first time I have encountered this kind of scene of being surrounded by people, so naturally there is no discomfort.

"Linglong, have you ever wondered... what your Zanpakuto looks like?" Xing Tao asked suddenly.

"I really didn't think about it... But based on my guess, it might be from the Ghost Dao department!" Linglong said with a smile, "Of course, it might be Zanpakuto from other departments!"

Xingtao looked at Linglong and said in his heart: "I don't know what Linglong's Zanpakuto is like. Zanpakuto is the condensed body of Shinigami's spirit and will. Strictly speaking, Linglong is completely my accessory. Can she condense the Zanpakuto? If so, what does her Zanpakuto look like?"

Thinking of this, Xing Tao couldn't help but look forward to it.

In Linglong's state, what could her Zanpakuto be?

Soon, Xingtao and Linglong came to the side of the teaching building.

At this moment, a man wearing a deadly costume came to the two of them, looked at them carefully, and said, "You two, the principal is here!"

"Principal!?" Xing Tao was taken aback for a moment, and then he and Linglong exchanged glances, both seeing a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Please lead the way!" Xing Tao nodded and said.

"Two, please!" The god of death said with an empty hand.

He was very polite to both Xingtao and Linglong. He saw Xing Tao's strength in the Battle of Honor before, so he was very respectful to Xing Tao; as for the other Linglong, he also knew from his own channels that Linglong had fallen into the ranks of the captain of the fourth team, Uzhihuali. In his eyes, as soon as she graduated, she would be brought to the fourth team.

...

Maou Academy of Spiritual Art, Principal's Office.

Xingtao and Linglong followed the god of death, and soon came here, and then walked unimpededly to the place where the principal's office is.

The principal's office is the place where the power of the entire Shinyang Academy of Spiritual Art is concentrated.

And the other identity of this principal is Nobuzuna Odagiri, the fourth member of Gotei's 13th Division and 1st Division. The position of principal can be regarded as a idle job, and he also regards it as a retirement here.

At the moment, he is sitting on his chair and meditating.

"I didn't expect to sense his otherworldly Reiatsu half a year ago, and now I can even kill that old fellow Asakura Takashi's swastika. What a genius! Even Toshiro Hitsugaya from decades ago is far behind. Not as good as him! And... the 11th team has already come to the door and booked him."

"There is also Linglong who should not be underestimated, she is also the proud daughter of the sky. She was able to use this little knowledge of ghosts taught by the academy to reverse the recovery path by herself. Such a heaven-defying talent...wouldn't How much worse than Hitsugaya Toshiro!"

"It can be said...in this academy, apart from the other half of ghosts, I am afraid there is nothing to teach them!"

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"This spiritual pressure...it's the two of them!"

The principal immediately noticed the spiritual pressure of Xing Tao and Linglong, and then said, "Come in!"

Xingtao pushed open the door and walked into the office with Linglong, only to see an old man with white hair sitting energetically behind the desk, looking at the two of them with a smile on his face.

"Principal!" Xing Tao and Linglong saluted at the same time.

In the world of corpses and souls, where etiquette and seniority are valued, even if Xing Tao is stronger than the other party, he still has to salute now.

"You don't need to be too polite!" The principal laughed, "Did you live well in school for the past six months!"
