Selling Pokémon from Pirates

Chapter 329 Lucia’s World

Seeing the figures of the teachers flying towards Daxu like death, Lucia's eyes suddenly became hazy.

The image of teachers risking death to protect students from escaping safely completely infected Rukia's heart.

In an instant!

A ray of blue fire suddenly appeared in Lucia's heart, and immediately turned into invisible energy fluctuations, spreading to all parts of her body.

But the strange thing is...

The more this mysterious energy expanded, the colder Lucia felt inside.

Soon, her body seemed to be frozen in a glacier, unable to move at all!

Even blinking seems to have become a luxury wish.

What's wrong with me?

Lucia's heart is still active.

It was obviously a very strange scene, but there was no trace of panic in her heart...

On the contrary, compared to usual times, her brain at this moment was as calm as an eternal glacier.

Suddenly!

Lucia, who fell into an abnormal state, felt that her eyes were transformed.

For an instant, time seemed to have stopped.

In her sight, the teacher and Kyon in the battle, Renji and Kira calling her, were all frozen in that moment as if frozen by ice.

Immediately afterwards, crystal-like ice spread from beneath her feet, instantly covering the entire world.

In the blink of an eye, Lucia came to a mysterious frozen world.

"Where is this place?"

She looked around blankly, only to find that there was nothing but blue ice.

Just when Lucia was at a loss, a call that seemed to come from another time and space suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Lu~Qi~Ya~...Lu~Qi~Ya~..."

The voice was extremely ethereal, but it seemed to come from the depths of the soul and penetrated the ears clearly.

By some strange coincidence, Lucia walked towards the direction from which the sound came.

In this world, time seems to have been frozen, with no meaning of existence.

Even every piece of ice that Lucia walked through instantly returned to its original state without leaving a trace.

Just like that, after walking for an unknown amount of time, a soft blue light suddenly appeared in front of Lucia's eyes, like warm sunlight shining through the cold ice, scattering spiritual radiance on her face.

"Rukia..."

After the soft light passed, a huge icicle suddenly appeared in front of Lucia.

There are some cracks on the top of the icicles, but they are not serious.

What shocked Rukia was...

Among the icicles, there was a woman whose appearance was somewhat similar to Lucia's.

Different from the real Lucia, the woman in the ice is more mature. She wears a simple and elegant kimono style and has short hair as white as snow.

On both ends of her snow-white hair, there is a butterfly headdress made of ice crystals.

"Yes... you are calling me?"

Lucia looked curiously at the mysterious man who was frozen in front of her, and asked subconsciously.

At this moment, she was so smart that she roughly guessed where this place was.

After all, she is a good student with perfect marks in cultural classes, and with the favor of the Kuchiki family and the kendo teacher, she naturally knows that after awakening the Zanpakutō, she will meet the incarnation of the Zanpakutō in her inner world.

As expected.

The moment her voice fell, a mature and steady voice began to echo in her mind.

"It's me, Lucia..."

The voice was still so ethereal, yet extremely clear.

Rukia looked happy. According to the knowledge she gained, she would get the name of the Zanpakutō next, and then awaken the method to unlock it.

However……

Things did not develop as Lucia expected.

Before Lucia could ask again, a sigh suddenly came from her mind:

"Rukia, you...shouldn't have come here so early..."

"Ah? What..."

Lucia's mouth opened slightly, a little confused.

But the voice ignored it and continued:

"Your power is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss of catastrophe."

"Before you have fully grown up, I didn't want to meet you so soon..."

"But your newly acquired power is too overbearing, and it directly expands your heart infinitely, so I have to come out to meet you."

Click.

When the voice fell, a clear and obvious crack suddenly appeared on the huge icicle, as if in compliance with what she said.

Immediately afterwards...

The sound of sighing came again, this time, there was a hint of pleading in the voice:

"Is this really what you want? Rukia?"

"Are you really prepared to free me even if you have to face death?"

"You have to know that your power may not be as useful as you think."

"My power..."

Under the pleading voice, Lucia suddenly lowered her head and looked at her hands.

Just now, Renji had grabbed her hand and led her away.

But Lucia, who already had a certain vision, knew very well that the three teachers couldn't fight for too long under the attack of the two Daxu...

Maybe in the next second, those two Daxu will break through the teachers' defense line and bring danger and death to their classmates.

And who can guarantee that the first person to be targeted by Daxu will not be Renji, Lingling, or Kira...

It can’t be herself!

so!!!

She must have the power!!!

Lucia suddenly raised her head, her eyes were firm, and her pupils burst into azure fire, releasing it outwards.

Click!!!

A huge crack appeared on the icicle again.

From top to bottom, it seems as if the entire icicle is to be broken open and the woman inside is rescued.

Lucia said in a shocked voice:

"I'm sure!"

"Even if it's an abyss of eternal destruction, I must..."

"Take control of my own power!!!"

As she spoke, she suddenly stretched out her hands and inserted them into the cracks of the icicles.

The arms suddenly exerted force!!!

Muscles bulge!!!

At this moment, the flat-chested Lucia was like a tomboy, gritting her teeth and shouting:

"Come out!!!"

boom!!!!!!!!!

The thunderous sound echoed throughout the glacier world.

A pitch-black crack quickly extended from the icicle to the limit of the world, as if a god from high in the sky struck a blow with all its strength, splitting the entire world in half, revealing an unfathomable chasm.

But then...

Endless frost and cold air spurted out from the chasm, instantly turning the entire world into an extremely pure white.

In front of Rukia, the Zanpakuto sword spirit released from the icicle was suspended in mid-air.

And the cold air that swept the entire world was apparently released from her body.

The terrifying cold air did not spare even the owner of this world, instantly freezing Lucia.

After a while, Dao Ling slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at Lucia, who was frozen but still moving her fingers vigorously, a look of distress and pain appeared on her face.

"Rukia, I hope you can conquer your power." Dao Ling said.

As she spoke, she suddenly took a step forward and hugged Lucia.

An even more terrifying release of abyssal cold air spurted out again, dissipating all the remaining warmth from Lucia's body.

All of a sudden!

The entire glacier world seemed to have fallen into dead silence, without any sound.

Only in the center of the world, a statue like a mother holding her child stands again.

Time began to flow slowly.

No one knows exactly how long has passed.

However……

Just when the whole world is about to be completely engulfed by darkness and cold...

A ray of blue light suddenly broke through the curtain of darkness and bloomed from the center of the world, Lucia's chest.

"I……"

"You won't give up so easily!!!"

Lucia's fearless shouts resounded throughout the world.

呲——

A flash of fire suddenly appeared, driving away the dead silence of the world.

However, this flame did not bring any warmth to the world.

Instead, a colder but extremely determined aura erupted from Lucia's body like a huge wave, invading the sword spirit in reverse.

In the blink of an eye, the dead white world was enveloped in blue flames.

It's just that the ice layer is magically suspended above the white frost, neither occupying nor driving it away...

Instead, he wanted to protect the pale frost world like a protective layer.

"Rukia..."

The revived sword spirit's eyes widened.

At this time, her whole body was wrapped in the mysterious flames, and she looked at Lucia in disbelief.

Lucia, who had also recovered, slowly raised her head, with a cute smile on her face, and said:

"It seems that the power of this other world is more powerful than we imagined..."

"Maybe...that's it..."

Infected by Lucia's smile, the shock on Dao Ling's face slowly disappeared, and then a happy smile appeared.

"Go fight! Rukia!"

"Remember, my name is Sode Shirayuki!"

"My power is called -"

"Baixia punishment!!!"

呲——

Sode Shirayuki's voice fell, and the entire glacier world trembled again.

But this time, all the coldness no longer seemed to be invading. Instead, it seemed as if it was actively stretching out its arms to embrace the blue flame.

All of a sudden.

The flames and frost blended together and turned into a powerful force that penetrated into Lucia's body.

In this huge torrent of energy, the world in front of Lucia began to slowly disappear, revealing the situation in the outside world.

Time passes again at this moment.

"Hey! Lucia, what are you doing in a daze!!!"

Renji's voice suddenly appeared next to Rukia's ears.

He stretched out his hand again, trying to escape with Lucia.

But at this moment...

A biting chill suddenly penetrated from his palm, making him shiver instantly, and his palm did not dare to come any closer.

"What...what's going on..."

Renji's teeth were trembling, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.

But at this moment, Rukia, who had been stunned, suddenly made a move.

She suddenly turned her head and glanced at Renji.

His eyes were full of softness and calmness.

She smiled and said:

"Renji, Kira, you two, please leave here first?"

"What are you going to do, Rukia!?"

"This is not the time for you to be a hero!!!"

Kira, who didn't notice any abnormality in Lucia's body, widened his eyes and brows, and quickly screamed.

In his opinion, if they don't take advantage of this opportunity to escape from the battlefield quickly, it will simply be a waste of the time that the teachers have bought for them.

However……

Facing Kira's words, Lucia continued to smile slightly, completely unlike her usual impatient personality.

Just at this moment...

A biting chill had begun to radiate from her body.

And the shallow blows on her waist began to buzz, as if impatient.

Lucia said as calmly as ice:

"It might be dangerous here for a while..."

"So Kira, Renji, you should get out of here quickly."

After the words fell, Lucia no longer looked at her two companions, but took steps towards the center of the battlefield.

"Hey! Rukia!!!"

The eager Kira stretched out his hand worriedly, trying to stop Rukia from committing suicide.

But at this moment, a hand suddenly stopped him.

"That's enough, Kira."

Renji, who was looking at Lucia's background, suddenly said:

"I think Lucia has her own ideas. Let's get out of here quickly and don't disturb her."

"What? How come Renci, you also..."

Kira wanted to say something more, but when he met Renji's eyes, all his words were instantly interrupted by the seriousness and unwillingness in those eyes.

"I...okay..."

After hesitating for less than a second, Kira made an instant decision.

Together with Renji, he began to escape into the distance.

As he was running behind Renji, he seemed to vaguely hear something from the front:

"I'm so far behind..."

…

…

the other side.

Seeing that Renji and Kira had left, the gentle smile on Lucia's face became even brighter.

As soon as she stepped on it, an air explosion and the sound of spirit particles shattering suddenly came out.

And her body instantly reached the sky.

"teacher!"

Lucia shouted and reminded the people in front of her.

But the three teachers who heard Lucia's voice were suddenly startled and quickly looked back.

"Rukia!!? Why are you here!!?"

A teacher screamed.

But Rukia's gaze at this moment was directly past the three teachers and looking at the two Daxu in the sky.

I just heard her murmuring:

"With the strength of the teachers, it shouldn't matter."

As she spoke, she slowly pulled out the knife from her waist, then slowly rotated her wrist to turn the tip of the knife downwards.

At the same time, a flash of blue flame flashed in his eyes.

Lucia said softly:

"Ling Wu, Xiu Baixue!"

Whoosh!

It's like magic.

The moment Lucia opened her mouth, the shape of the palm in her hand began to change.

The entire blade instantly turned white, and a graceful and beautiful white ribbon fluttered flexibly around Lucia.

Bingqing, Yujie.

Although it is just a knife, it gives people a pleasing feeling.

This sword is none other than Rukia's Zanpakutō - Sode Shirayuki!

"Rukia, you..."

When the three teachers saw Rukia's Zanpakutō's first form, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on their faces.

You know...

Today is only the third month since Rukia joined the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy!

In just three months, he began to unlock his own Zanpakutō...

This speed, even in the history of Seireitei, is definitely among the best!!!

But then, their expressions suddenly changed again.

The teacher who just screamed quickly shouted again:

"Rukia! Get out of here quickly!!!"

"This is not a battlefield that you, a newly-understood god of death, can handle!"

"You are a unique genius! You must protect yourself, and when you grow up, you can avenge us in the future!!!"

A hoarse roar came out of the teacher's throat.

Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes without disappointment.

No one can face their own death without any troubles.

But if this death can preserve a future hope for Seireitei, then their death is meaningful!

Maybe……

It was precisely because of such a teacher that Lucia was able to awaken her power so quickly.

in other words……

It was precisely what they did that gave them the possibility of survival!

The corners of Lucia's mouth turned up slightly when she heard the teacher's shout, and she said slowly:

"revenge?"

"I may not be able to remember such a troublesome thing."

As she spoke, Lucia stepped out again and came directly in front of the three teachers, facing the two Daxu.

Her voice reached the ears of teachers again.

"It's better..."

"I will avenge this revenge today!"

Whoosh!

Under the shocked eyes of the three teachers, Lucia suddenly raised Sode Shirayuki in her hand and shouted to the two Daxu in front of her:

"Show your true power!!!"

“Swastika!!!”

"Baixia punishment!!!!!!"
