This system is kind of weird

Boom~~!

Dazzling lightning exploded on Duan Mu, and he disappeared from the spot very suddenly.

Ginjo Kūgo's expression changed, and he stepped in front of Tsukishima.

Almost the moment he arrived in front of Tsukishima, Duan Mu's figure appeared between them.

摪~!

Then the clash of gold and iron sounded.

Ginjo Kūgo only felt an indescribable force coming from the giant sword in his hand, which spread along the sword's body to his whole body. The hands holding the sword's hilt were so shaken that their jaws cracked and blood flowed across them. The two-handed sword in his hand almost fell off.

So heavy...

Strength, spiritual pressure!

They are all completely different from before!

The crazy-looking black-haired young man in front of him seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person.

What happened to him?

The spiritual pressure around Duan Mu's body surged to the extreme. He twisted his body, held the long knife with both hands and pressed it down again. He actually forced the area below Ginjo Kūgo's knees into the soil.

at the same time.

Using the long sword as a fulcrum, Duan Mu's body rose into the air. Almost at the same time that he left the place, a thin knife slashed through his waist where he was previously. The person holding the thin knife was Tsukishima.

The sword was swung in the air, and Tsukishima subconsciously wanted to pursue it.

However……

Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo!

Six sounds of cracking the air were heard, and six pieces of light arrived in an instant, directly locking him in place.

"Sixty One of the Binding Dao: Six Rods and Light Prison."

The six pieces of light were like iron pliers, holding Tsukishima in place. No matter how hard he struggled, the pieces of light would not move at all.

"Broken Dao..."

"Ahhhh~~"

Just when Duanmu was about to pursue the victory, Ginjo Kūgo, who was suppressed by him, suddenly burst into a roar. The red and highly concentrated spiritual pressure condensed rapidly at the blade of the two-handed sword that collided with Duanmu's long sword.

It's not the spiritual pressure of the Shinigami, nor is it the light of the Perfection Technique, it's... the aura of the Hollow!

——Virtual flash!!

Duan Mu gave up chasing Tsukishima, raised his right hand, and the lightning around him focused on his right hand.

Instant coax·Lightning strike!

The ghost path in the body condenses into one point and vents out.

Thunder light collides with red light.

At this moment, the world seemed to have been pressed on the mute button, like the calm before the storm.

Rumble~!

The strong winds raged, deafening roars resounded throughout the sky, the impact exploded like waves, and endless soil rose into the sky.

The six pieces of light around Tsukishima instantly shattered under the impact, but Tsukishima's face was not happy, but full of horror. Although he was not at the center of the impact, at the moment of the impact, Tsukishima only felt as if his body

As if being torn apart, he turned into a bloody man in an instant and suffered severe injuries.

Just when he thought he was about to die, Ginjo Kūgo's tall figure suddenly stood in front of him, and his spiritual pressure exploded around him, forming a protective shield that blocked out all the aftermath of the impact.

When everything is calm.

The lush green forest was gone, replaced by a huge deep pit with a radius of tens of meters.

On both sides of the deep pit, Duan Mu and Ginjo Kōgo looked at each other from afar.

At this time, both of them looked extremely embarrassed, but unlike Ginjo Kūgo, who only suffered some superficial injuries, the incision on Duan Mu's back that had been treated with 'spiritu suturing' for emergency treatment cracked again in the confrontation just now, and the blood

It gushes out like a fountain.

The flow of blood made Duan Mu's face become extremely pale, and he immediately exited the 'instant coax' state.

When he was seriously injured, using the instant coax put a huge burden on his body.

Is it the limit?

Duan Mu's face looked a little gloomy, it was too late for the restrictions to be lifted.

If there were no restrictions at the beginning of the battle, he wouldn't be in such a panic at all. As long as Tsukishima is dealt with first, even if he can't kill Ginjo Kūgo, he is sure to severely damage him, instead of falling into the current situation. !!

On the other side, Ginjo Kugo's face was equally gloomy, but there was still deep fear in this gloominess.

Very strong!

Under that inexplicable lightning, although the opponent's spiritual pressure is not as good as your own, the lethality is extremely terrifying.

If the other party hadn't been hit hard before, the direction of this battle might have completely changed!

"Are the restrictions lifted?"

A sarcastic look appeared on Ginjo Kuugo's face, and he already understood in his heart why Duan Mu suddenly became so powerful: "It's really pitiful. If you hadn't been limited in spiritual pressure, you might not have died..." As he spoke, , his whole person disappeared directly on the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already above Duan Mu's head.

"...If you want to blame, blame Seireitei!!"

The spiritual pressure on the swords in both hands condensed, Ginjo Kūgo looked at Duanmu who was motionless, and slashed downwards, and the dark green slash shot through the air.

But just when the slash was about to hit Duan Mu, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if it was blocked by an invisible barrier.

This is……

"The Eighty One of the Binding Dao: Breaking the Sky?"

A strange look flashed in Ginjo Kūgo's eyes. He didn't expect that this young man could even give up singing on the 81st Binding Road.

Although he was surprised, Ginjo Kūgo did not think that Duan Kong, who had given up chanting, could block his slashing attack.

And this is also true.

Click, click, click...

The moment the dark green slash collided with the transparent wall, cracks appeared on the transparent wall.

At the same time, Ginjo Kūgo stepped into the void and attacked Duanmu from the side, not giving him a chance to use this time to evade.

When Duan Mu saw this, spiritual pressure surged all over his body. He gave up treating the stab wound on his back and raised his hand to point at Yincheng who was rushing towards him.

"Broken Dao No. 90: Black Coffin!"

Buzz~

The dark wall blocked Ginjo Kūgo's body, causing him to stand still in mid-air, with a look of shock in his eyes.

Give up chanting and release No. 90 to break the path!?

Who is this young man, and why do I not know that such a person exists in the Gotei 13?

But Duan Mu didn't give him time to think. On one side, two sides... and four sides, the walls that first appeared continued to spread outwards with interfaces, forming a cube that blocked the front, left, right, and bottom of Ginjo Kūgo. Only the dark wall at the back remained the same. It is in a condensed state and is not completely blocked.

With Yincheng's speed, it is completely possible to leave the black coffin through the gap in the rear before the ghost path is completed.

A flash of hesitation flashed in Ginjo Kūgo's eyes. If he withdraws now, he will lose the best opportunity to kill the opponent; but if he does not withdraw, it means that he has to bear this black coffin!

The formation speed is so slow, which is enough to show that the opponent gave up the chanting black coffin and only reluctantly released it.

The power must not be strong!

He may even collapse under his own attack.

but……

What if this is an illusion deliberately shown by the other party?

Even though he knew that this possibility was extremely slim, Ginjo Kūgo still showed struggle in his eyes.

At this moment, a soft groan came from behind the dark iron wall in front of him.

"The turbid coat of arms is faintly revealed, and the unruly and arrogant talent..."

Singing later!?

This chanting sound was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The light of the perfect technique exploded under Ginjo Kūgo's feet, and he retreated quickly before the black iron wall behind him could condense and complete!

Almost at the same time as he escaped from the black coffin, the chanting stopped abruptly.

Bang~

The gathering black coffin suddenly collapsed like building blocks.

This scene made Ginjo Kūgo's expression suddenly darken. He stopped running away and turned his head to look, only to see Duan Mu's back quickly moving away.

Fooled...

Ginjo Kūgo instantly realized that the black coffin was just a model that had no power but actually collapsed at the first touch.

If he had not stopped just now, but continued to move forward, he would have been able to pass through without even attacking.

Boom~~

A huge explosion was heard immediately, and the transparent barrier formed by Duan Kong collapsed. Without Duan Kong's barrier, the dark green slash suddenly hit the place where Duan Mu had stood.

"Asshole~~!!"

The impact caused Ginjo Kūgo's mid-length hair to dance wildly, and the expression on his face was distorted.

There is only one step left, as long as you persist a little longer.

That kid will either die under his own two-handed sword or die under his own slash!

Humiliation~ The unprecedented sense of humiliation made Ginjo Kūgo's face turn red, his expression almost crazy, and the murderous intent in his eyes almost took shape.

"Stop chasing!"

But just when he was about to catch up, Tsukishima's voice came from behind: "Feel carefully."

Hearing this, Ginjo Kuugo subconsciously released his own perception, and then suddenly raised his head and looked into the void.

I can faintly feel...

There are some extremely strong auras coming from the broken world and approaching the real world.

Soul Society's support is coming!

Ginjo Kūgo looked at the direction Duan Mu left, gritted his teeth, turned back to Tsukishima, hugged him lazily, and galloped towards Naruki City, disappearing at the end of the sky in the blink of an eye.

…

Duan Mu froze when he felt the spiritual pressure disappearing from his back.

As soon as he stopped, his body shook for a while, and finally he sat down on the ground.

"Cough cough cough~~"

Along with a violent cough, viscous liquid mixed with blood and organ fragments spit out from his mouth.

After taking a slight breath, he raised his head and looked into the void. Feeling the familiar spiritual pressure that was quickly approaching the real world, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"How come the guys from Stealth Mobile are just like the detectives in those movies and TV shows, always one step too late!"

As he spoke, Duan Mu felt a constant sense of dizziness, and he hurriedly bit his tongue hard.

Can't be in a coma.

His injuries were too serious, not even much lighter than the last battle with Zaraki Kenpachi. If no treatment was taken, he would most likely die in the world break.

As for the secret maneuver that is about to arrive...

In order to expect them to treat him, Duan Mu might as well dig a hole and bury himself while he still had some energy left, so as not to become a collection of some mad scientist after his death.

Expanding the pure energy barrier, Duan Mu began to perform emergency treatment for himself.

The only thing that made him happy was...

Although the injury was serious, the spiritual pressure in the body was still sufficient, enough to handle him properly, and he would not be like the battle with Kenpachi, where he would just throw himself into the street after the fight. Whether he could survive or not depended on luck.

Zheng~~

Directly above Duan Mu's head, the void opened to both sides like a door.

Zombie took the lead and rushed out, but did not stop. As soon as he appeared, he chased in the direction where Ginjo Kūgo and the two left.

Immediately, from inside the door, one after another black-clothed and masked figures rushed out and landed around Duan Mu.

Ohmaeda appeared outside the Pure Qi Barrier. He first carefully observed Duanmu who was treating him, and then grinned: "Tsk, are you possessed by the God of Poverty? Why do you always encounter him?

Those dangerous people."

Duan Mu ignored him...

If this bastard had been faster, he wouldn't be in this situation.

Omaeda smiled upon seeing this, turned to look south, and said to Xing Jun behind him: "Go and bring those nobles back. When you return, except for those who are seriously injured, everyone else will be detained in a covert maneuver for investigation."

"yes!"

Several Xing soldiers suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, the pure energy barrier around Duan Mu suddenly turned into spirit particles and collapsed.

Upon seeing this, Ohmaeda rushed over and found that Duanmu, who was still treating him before, had passed out.

Seeing this, Ohmaeda pondered for a moment and then said: "Inform the Thirteenth Division to open the boundary gate, and also contact the Fourth Division to get them ready to receive the patient. By the way, don't forget to tell them that the patient is Duanmu."

"But……"

"I'll just go to Captain Broken Bee."

Ohmaeda shook his head: "You take those noble young masters and Duan Mu back to Soul Society first to prevent the attackers from coming back again."

"yes."

…

Duan Mu slowly opened his eyes, and the familiar white ceiling came into view.

Didi didi~~

There are tubes inserted into his body, connected to various medical instruments around him. He can clearly feel that those medical instruments convert the spirit into nutrients that are beneficial to the recovery of his injuries, and move them towards his body along the tubes.

delivery……

This familiar feeling, familiar room, and familiar smell made Duan Mu's mouth twitch slightly under his mask.

Intensive care unit.

Just over four months had passed since the battle with Kenpachi, and he was actually sent in again.

Paid~~

The business was too bad this time. Although we were able to cooperate with the Golden Seal Association, the newly opened Wanshiwu seems to be closing down again.

Duan Mu wanted to sigh, but he couldn't even do it under the mask.

He checked his physical condition, and as he expected, he had received proper treatment. Judging from the residual spiritual pressure on the surgical marks, the person who treated him this time was still Captain Unohana.

The treatment method is as superb as ever. Although he is still unable to move, Duan Mu feels that it is probably the same as last time. He can regain his mobility in five or six days. However, if he wants to fully recover, it will take at least half a month to nurse him back to health.

.

However, as long as the ability to move is restored, the business of Wanshiwu will not be delayed!

Duan Mu wanted to try to sit up, but when he moved, he realized...

He was actually tied to the hospital bed with bandages, which made Duan Mu look a little weird.

...What kind of gameplay is this??

Does Captain Unohana still have such interest?

wrong.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should have been tied up by Yongyin.

After the last battle with Kenpachi, he sneaked out of the intensive care unit and hid in the maggot nest. He was severely scolded by Yongyin afterwards. She said at that time that if there is a next time, she will definitely

Tie yourself to the hospital bed.

Duan Mu originally thought this was a joke, but he didn't expect...

She actually did it.

Giving up on getting up, Duan Mu wanted to continue sleeping, but couldn't sleep. He could only look at the ceiling like a vegetative state.

Finally, simply turn your attention to the system interface in your mind.

In this battle, the more than 30,000 experience points that had been saved with great difficulty were once again consumed.

Fortunately, unlike the last time, this time it was all added to spiritual pressure.

Um?

Duan Mu's eyes suddenly opened wide.

Current experience value: 35960.

Looking at the value behind the current experience value, Duan Mu couldn't help but wonder if he was dazzled, even if he wasn't looking at it with his eyes.

How come there are so many extra experience points suddenly?

Duan Mu opened the favorability interface and found that at the end of the densely packed names, there were many names that Duan Mu had never seen before.

[Nagano Kasuhide, current favorability: 60]

[Nagano Arashi, current favorability: 44]

[Ukitake Qing, current favorability: 54]

[Bee Feather, current favorability: 29]

[Nagano Ayaka, current favorability: 2]

【Nagano...】

These names were surprisingly consistent. Nagano, Feng, Ukitake...the names of people he had never heard of before were basically members of these three families.

Among them, Nagano Kasuhide, who has full friendship with Duanmu, judging from the experience points provided, is equivalent to the level of a member of the Gotei Thirteenth Team, providing a total of 13,220 experience points to Duanmu.

As for Nagano Arashi, if nothing unexpected happens, she should be Nagano Hanashi's mother. Although her favorability rating is not as high as her own daughter's, she is much stronger than her daughter in terms of strength; the experience points provided are the same as those of low-level officers.

, which is 9160 experience points for Duan Mu.

The remaining scattered experience points should be Nagano Huaxiu's elders and sisters. The high ones have more than 10 points of favor for Duan Mu, and the low ones have 2 points of favor for Duan Mu. Although the experience provided by a single person

The value is not much, but it adds up to 2420 experience points.

The Nagano family alone provided Duanmu with a whopping 24,800 experience points.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ukitake Qingru should be Ukitake Hiroshi's mother. Unfortunately, her strength is not very good. The experience value she provides is actually not as good as Nagano Kashu, and she is basically the same as the students of Zheno Spiritual Arts Academy. With 54 points of favorability, she is

Duan Mu provided 4690 experience points.

Counting other members of the Ukitake family, the total is 5320 experience points.

Compared to the above two families, Feng Family is much colder.

Duan Mu looked around and found a person named "Feng Yu", who was probably Feng Yuanyu's mother.

However, this is no wonder, in the eyes of other people from the Bee Family.

Family members like Feng Yuanyu who escaped to join the Xing Army should be exiled as a rule. No one except Feng Yuanyu's mother cared whether he died or not.

Fortunately, the strength of this 'Bee Feather' is much stronger than the other two mothers, and is equivalent to a senior chief officer. 29 points of favorability provide Duan Mu with 5520 experience points.

Crushed the entire Ukitake family.

The corner of Duan Mu's mouth twitched slightly, how downcast is the Ukitake family?

As for the last 320 experience points, Duan Mu looked through it carefully and found that it was actually provided to him by Zhanfeng.

[Smash Bee's favorability is 1, gain 320 experience points, current favorability: 8]

Earned...

I sat up in shock while dying of illness!

If he hadn't been tied to the bed, Duan Mu would have jumped up by now.

Although he almost died in this world this time, the harvest was extremely huge, enough for Duan Mu to ignore the pain in his body.

Not only did we achieve cooperation with the Golden Seal Society, we also gained a massive amount of experience points.

The most important thing is...

As long as Duanmu adds all his experience points to his spiritual pressure, he can truly step into the captain level and reach the same level as Ginjo Kūgo.

Although he can only be considered a captain-level goalkeeper, and since he cannot be liberated by his Zanpakutō, he may not even be able to compete with him.

Of course, this is when Ikkakusanagi is fully activated.

Until then, it's not difficult to defeat him!

However, Duan Mu did not use these experience points.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't encounter captain-level enemies like this time, his current spiritual pressure strength of more than 70,000 points is enough to handle most battles.

It's better to keep the experience points just in case.

Moreover, with the development spirit pattern, he can break through to captain level within six or seven years even if he does not consume experience points.

…
