"So, this is not a simple matter. I'm afraid even your older brother couldn't accomplish it easily." To comfort Ichigo, Rukia even brought up Byakuya Kuchiki as a reference.
"Really?" Hearing both of them say the same thing, Ichigo's mood improved somewhat, but he quickly asked again, "What if it's Yang? How long do you think it would take him to master Hollowfication?"
Rukia rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "He honed the four major techniques of the Shinigami—slashing fist, walking ghost—to such an excellent degree in less than a year. Even most captains are not as good as him. If it is him, it should... not take long."
Orihime tilted her head and said, "For Yang-kun, a week should be enough, right?"
Rukia shook her head and said, "At most three days. He was the only one who made Aizen suffer. Back then, he wasn't even a Shinigami yet."
"Three days?" Ichigo, who had just felt comforted, stared at the two in disbelief, his voice suddenly rising.
Hearing this, Ichigo's fighting spirit soared, and his eyes burned with fierce flames. "I will achieve Hollowfication today!"
Ichigo, deeply provoked, inexplicably became fired up...
Seeing his expression, Rukia and Orihime couldn't help but turn away and laugh.
"Single-celled organisms are really easy to fool."
"He cares a lot about Yang, and the two of them have a really good relationship."
"How can you tell they have a good relationship? It's just their competitive spirit at play."
"Besides opponents, the only things that can ignite a man's competitive spirit are his friends."
"An opponent..." Rukia thought of Chu Yang's figure and felt that he always seemed unfathomable. Although Ichigo had great potential, it was difficult for him to compare with Chu Yang.
It's like the difference between Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and other Shinigami (death gods).
Go home after school.
Ichigo is going directly to the Visoreds' base, while Rukia has some business to attend to at Urahara Shop.
Chadu did not attend school.
Orihime could only go to Chu Yang's house alone first.
Halfway there, streaks of blue light flashed across the sky, as if a meteor shower was falling.
A powerful spiritual pressure suddenly erupted.
Orihime instinctively ran in the direction where the spiritual pressure was coming from.
Turning into the dark, deserted alley, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, as if we had entered another space.
Orihime looked around in surprise.
A tall figure suddenly appeared in front of Orihime, like a wall blocking her view.
"Little girl, are you lost?"
With an evil laugh, the giant man dressed in white revealed a ferocious smile to Orihime.
A large hole was exposed in his chest.
It's not human, it's a phantom!
They just look no different from humans.
Behind the giant stood a young man of relatively average height, also dressed in white, with dark green eyes and two tear streaks that drew a vertical line on his face.
His gaze was extremely indifferent, as if all life was insignificant in his eyes.
Two peculiar illusions!
Orihime's face flashed with panic, and she instinctively wanted to run away.
The giant appeared in front of her in a flash, his speed was frightening.
"I'm asking you a question. How can you be so rude? People in this world have such poor manners." The giant glared at Orihime with displeasure. "You're a human, not in spirit form, yet you can see me. How interesting..."
After saying that, the giant grabbed at Orihime with one hand.
"A shield formed in three days!"
Threatened, Orihime instinctively summoned the Shield of Shun Rikka, a shimmering orange energy shield that appeared before her and blocked the giant's hand.
"Um?!"
Exclamations of surprise and doubt came simultaneously from the giant and the young man behind him.
"How could a mere human possess such an ability?" The giant was surprised and filled with curiosity. He was no ordinary Void Spirit; even a genuine Grim Reaper might not be able to stop him.
“Fullbringer… no, not just any Fullbringer.” The young man, who seemed uninterested in anything, suddenly focused all his attention on Orihime.
The giant was blocked by Orihime, and immediately punched the shield again, causing cracks to appear on the shield, which collapsed completely two seconds later.
"She looks impressive, but she's actually quite vulnerable." The giant grinned, showing his large teeth as he continued to mock Orihime.
Orihime ignored him, calmly controlling the Shield of Shun Rikka. The pressure she felt from him was not even as great as a single glance from Chu Yang.
"Four days of resistance!"
The three-dimensional triangular cone shield protects Orihime, forming a solid defense against the enemy.
The shield absorbs the enemy's attack the moment it is attacked, unleashing and spreading the impact, while also allowing for a counterattack using the Tsubaki.
Changes in capabilities that integrate offense and defense.
After undergoing special training, Orihime's control over her abilities is now completely different, and she instantly completed a high-difficulty counterattack form.
The giant, having been thwarted time and again, was enraged and slammed his fist into the shield with all his might.
"Yammy, stop!"
The young man seemed to sense something was wrong and hurriedly called out to his companion, but he was a little too slow; the creature named Yammy had already smashed down.
"Ulquiorra..."
The shield absorbed Yammy's fatal punch, while simultaneously unleashing the impact onto him.
The moment the shield shattered, Yammy was also thrown back by his own immense force. Tsubaki's attacks followed relentlessly, and he suffered considerable injuries.
Yammy, whose arm was bleeding profusely, stared in astonishment at the human girl.
"I'm injured?!"
"Success!"
Orihime was so happy she almost shouted out loud. This was the first time she had played a role on the front lines of the battlefield, instead of being treated as a medic.
Only then did she understand why Chu Yang had made her practice the Ghost Path continuously.
The increased speed of spellcasting has fundamentally changed Orihime's combat abilities.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Yami was furious. As one of the Espada, even if he was the lowest-ranking tenth Espada, his pride wouldn't allow him to be hurt by a human!
Only by killing this human can I wash away the shame upon myself!
The thought lingered in Yammie's mind, making his eyes redden and bringing him to the brink of madness.
Just then, the taciturn Ulquiorra said calmly, "You are not allowed to hurt this girl."
Yammy turned around angrily.
Ulquiorra remained calm, seemingly unconcerned by his companion's anger, and said softly, "Her ability is quite unique; Lord Aizen should like it."
Upon hearing Aizen's name, Yammy's eyes cleared somewhat, and he regained a portion of his rationality.
Although he really wanted to kill the girl in front of him, since Ulquiorra said she was useful to Aizen, he couldn't do anything reckless.
Aizen is a terrifying guy...
"Knock her out and take her away." Ulquiorra's lips curled up, as if he had remembered something amusing.
"Don't order me around!" Yammy walked toward Orihime with a cold face. This time, he drew his Zanpakuto (core), and his aura changed abruptly.
Orihime stared blankly. She remembered that Zanpakuto were weapons unique to Shinigami, but she saw them in a Hollow's hand.
In that brief moment of distraction, Yami's burly body vanished once more, abruptly reappearing behind Orihime.
Sensing the howling wind behind her, Orihime turned pale.
Yammy's Zanpakuto was as large as his body; even though he intended to stun Orihime, it looked as if he was crushing her.
Overwhelmed by extreme fear, Orihime's mind went blank. The sound of her Zanpakuto being swung was like a thunderclap, blowing up sand and stones, and plunging her into endless chaos.
when! ! !
A sharp, clear clang of metal rang out suddenly. The muscular arm, with its tightly knit teeth, froze in place, seemingly encountering a strong obstacle and unable to move forward.
As the dust settled, another person appeared in front of Orihime. The newcomer gripped Yammy's Zanpakuto, rendering her unable to move. Yammy's efforts seemed futile.
Ulquiorra's eyes were cold from a distance.
He saw the Shinigami uniform...
Their wide black robes fluttered in the wind, creating a stark contrast with their white attire.
"You're really strong, aren't you? I never knew there were people like that in Bleach." Yammy's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he sneered, "Who are you?"
"Captain of the 5th Division of the Gotei 13, Yang." Chu Yang smiled slightly, and his right hand burst forth with brilliant golden light, unleashing the power of a hundred dragons and a hundred elephants, creating a raging torrent of energy.
Click!
Yammy's Zanpakuto was covered in cracks, and it seemed like it would shatter completely at any moment.
