Chapter 89 Invading the Soul Society
Huang Rong's kick landed squarely on Ouyang Ke's injured spot, exacerbating his injury. Ouyang Ke cried out in pain and then died.
He fainted.
Chu Yang estimated that even if he wasn't paralyzed on one side, he would be bedridden for at least a year or two.
Seeing what had happened to Ouyang Ke, Guo Jing felt a pang of pity and couldn't help but say to Huang Rong, "Miss Huang, your actions were far too ruthless."
"Ruthless?" Huang Rong said with an unfriendly expression, "If I hadn't had a treasure to protect me, who knows what would have happened to me if I had fallen into his hands?"
"And you, what kind of thing are you to dare lecture me?"
Guo Jing blushed deeply, but he was tongue-tied and couldn't think of anything to say in rebuttal. He could only turn away and sulk. Ouyang Ke's defeat meant that Wanyan Honglie's five once-proud masters had all fallen. Without masters, he could hardly guarantee his own safety.
Standing on the rooftop, Chu Yang looked down at him and asked, "Wanyan Honglie, are you still not planning to hand over the person?"
Wanyan Honglie said with grief and indignation, "I have no grudge against you in the past or present, so why must you tear my family apart and force me to a dead end?"
Chu Yang sneered and said sarcastically, "You have the nerve to break up these two words?"
"Eighteen years ago, you were being chased by Qiu Chuji and accidentally entered Niujia Village. You were saved by Bao Xiruo and your life was spared. However, not only did you not repay the kindness, you also became lustful towards Bao Xiruo."
"In order to win Bao Xiruo, you bribed Duan Tiande, a military general of the Southern Song Dynasty, to lead troops to hunt down the Guo and Yang families, causing them to be destroyed and their wives and children to be separated. You took the opportunity to stage a heroic rescue and deceived Bao Xiruo. You even had the nerve to say that I broke up your family."
"Wife or children, which one are you?"
Faced with Chu Yang's questioning, Wanyan Honglie panicked. He didn't know how this person knew about the secret that had been buried for eighteen years.
Could he really be an immortal?
Upon hearing this, Bao Xiruo, still on horseback, suddenly struggled to sit up and glared angrily at Wanyan Honglie, asking, "Is what he said true?"
Wanyan Honglie was speechless.
Wanyan Kang also looked up at Wanyan Honglie, his expression blank.
This news was even more shocking than before.
How can he accept that his father, who raised him for eighteen years, was actually the culprit who caused the destruction of his biological parents and their family?
Such a truth is simply suffocating.
Even though Chu Yang had previously disliked him, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him at this moment.
Upon learning the truth, Yang Tiexin was consumed by rage, his blood surging and triggering an old ailment. He had to press his chest, but he still endured the pain and cursed at Wanyan Honglie, "You treacherous dog!"
Huang Rong, like a spectator watching a melon, looked around, taking in the expressions of those involved, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
When Guo Jing learned that Wanyan Honglie was his father's killer, his eyes turned red, and he was about to fight him to the death when Yang Tiexin pulled him back.
Chu Yang was already getting impatient. He lowered his head and said, "Wanyan Honglie, things shouldn't be done more than three times. I've already asked you twice. If you ask a third time, I might have to take action."
Wanyan Honglie was immediately torn between his wife and children and the lives of himself and nearly ten thousand Jin soldiers. He no longer doubted that Chu Yang was capable of killing them all.
Wanyan Honglie was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that these Jin soldiers would die with him. The nearly 10,000 troops were of great significance to Yanjing City. Losing them would leave Yanjing City vulnerable.
Both the Liao and Southern Song dynasties coveted the Jin dynasty and would not give up any opportunity. If anything happened to Yanjing (Beijing), the entire Jin dynasty would be in danger in an instant.
Wanyan Honglie had no choice but to suppress his heartache and order Bao Xiruo and Wanyan Kang to return.
Under Chu Yang's watchful gaze, the army slowly retreated.
Wanyan Honglie walked through the army formation, turning back every few steps, his eyes filled with longing.
Wanyan Kang was like a walking corpse, being dragged forward by Bao Xiruo. He could not empathize with Bao Xiruo's joy at this moment.
Yang Tiexin's family was finally reunited, and they embraced and wept bitterly.
Upon seeing this, Guo Jing suddenly thought of his father, and his eyes welled up with tears.
"Young man, I must thank you. We were just strangers who met by chance, but you were willing to help me. I will always remember this kindness."
Yang Tiexin looked at Guo Jing and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
Guo Jing quickly explained his identity and presented Yang Tiexin with the dagger that the Guo and Yang families had used as a token in the past.
Yang Tiexin excitedly stroked the dagger, memories from eighteen years ago flooding back. He murmured, "My elder brother has an heir, an heir!"
Afterwards, Guo Jing recounted his experiences living in Mongolia over the years, which moved Yang Tiexin deeply. Suddenly, he remembered something and looked at Wanyan Kang, also known as Yang Kang, and Mu Nianci.
"Back then, Brother Guo and I made a pact that if our two families had a boy and a girl, we would arrange their marriage before they were born; if we had two boys or a girl, we would have them become sworn brothers."
Yang Tiexin glanced back and forth between Yang Kang and Guo Jing, and said, "From now on, you two are sworn brothers."
Guo Jing nodded, having no objection to it; this was something his mother had told him a long time ago.
But then, Yang Tiexin pointed at Mu Nianci and said, "I have another daughter. This arranged marriage can also be considered valid. What do you think?"
Guo Jing was stunned and subconsciously looked towards Huang Rong, but Huang Rong was surrounding Chu Yang, chattering away like a little bird, and had no interest in paying attention to him at all.
Mu Nianci was also startled, her expression turned very ugly, and for some reason her eyes turned to Chu Yang.
They looked at Huang Rong and Chu Yang, respectively.
finally.
It was Guo Jing who broke the deadlock. He scratched his head and chuckled, "Before I came here, my mother only told me to recognize brothers, not wives. I can't make that decision myself; I have to discuss it with my mother."
Yang Tiexin, without any suspicion, nodded and said, "That's only right! It's been so many years since we last met, I should also go and pay my respects to my sister-in-law, but that will have to wait until you and Kang'er finish the martial arts competition at the Jiaxing Misty Rain Pavilion."
Speaking of the martial arts competition, Guo Jing belatedly exclaimed, "Oh no! My masters are still waiting for me to join them. They must be very worried because I've been delayed for so many days and they can't find me."
Yang Tiexin said in a deep voice, "Let's go back to the Southern Song Dynasty together to find your masters. If that doesn't work, we can wait for them at the Misty Rain Pavilion in advance."
While they were still discussing, Chu Yang left with Huang Rong.
Upon seeing this, Mu Nianci became anxious and rushed to the two men, stopping them in her tracks.
Chu Yang asked in confusion, "Miss Mu, is there anything else?"
Mu Nianci acted rashly to stop them, and now, unable to give a reason, she stood there stammering.
Huang Rong sensed a hint of danger, and her gaze toward Mu Nianci immediately turned unfriendly.
Fortunately, Guo Jing arrived in time to help Mu Nianci out of her predicament: "Brother Chu, we are also going back to the Southern Song Dynasty. Our destination is the small town where we met last time. My masters are probably looking for me, so I have to go and meet up with them."
Chu Yang coughed lightly, feeling slightly embarrassed. His backyard still had Guo Jing's Akhal-Teke horse tied up there.
The world of Bleach.
Since making a deal with Kisuke Urahara, Chu Yang has stayed at Urahara Store for training and has never gone to school again.
Kisuke Urahara taught him a lot about spiritual pressure, while also training him to control his own spiritual particles.
Chu Yang absorbs any knowledge very quickly.
The Grim Reaper's four skills: [Hakuda], [Shunpo], [Kido], and [Slash Technique].
[Bai Da] For someone like Chu Yang who started out in close combat, many fighting techniques are too familiar to him, and it is similar to Fishman Karate.
The feeling of [Flash Step] is similar to the [Body Flicker Technique] in ninjutsu, except that the [Body Flicker Technique] requires a certain amount of chakra to use.
There are aspects that can be learned from each other. Chu Yang has experience, so it is not too difficult for him to learn.
The [Kido] is much more complex. It can be divided into [Hado], [Bakudo], and [Huido]. In simple terms, [Hado] is used for "offense", [Bakudo] is used for "control" and "defense", and [Huido] is used for "healing".
【Ghost Path】is basically the "spell" of the Bleach world. The conditions for its release are similar to those in the Harry Potter world. It also requires chanting and spiritual power as the energy source.
In short, these three abilities are largely the same as those Chu Yang learned in other worlds, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to quickly get started.
The [Slaying Technique] goes without saying.
Whether in the world of One Piece or the world of Demon Slayer, Chu Yang's swordsmanship has been steadily improving.
However, Kisuke Urahara was powerless to help Chu Yang obtain the most crucial and essential Zanpakuto.
Not everyone is as special as the protagonist, Ichigo Kurosaki.
Normally, to obtain a Zanpakuto, one must become a Shinigami (death god).
When Shinigami are students at the Shinigami Academy of Spiritual Arts, they will temporarily borrow an unnamed Zanpakuto, which is a Zanpakuto that has not yet been released and is called "Asauchi".
"Asauchi" is the prototype of a Zanpakuto. Under the influence of the Shinigami's soul, spirit, and will, it will gradually transform into the shape that best suits the user.
Ultimately, it became a unique Zanpakuto.
If Chu Yang wants a Zanpakuto, he must proceed step by step and first become a Shinigami, which also means that he must give up everything in the mortal world.
Fortunately, Chu Yang had no attachment to the mortal world, and it wasn't that becoming a Grim Reaper meant he couldn't return to the mortal world. Rules were only meant to bind the weak.
As long as you are strong enough, nothing is a problem.
Another point is that becoming a Grim Reaper was part of the deal between Chu Yang and Kisuke Urahara.
After being expelled from Soul Society, Kisuke Urahara knew very little about Aizen's actions, and he needed someone to be his eyes in Soul Society.
Chu Yang is well-suited to this role.
As time passed, Rukia was brought back to the Tokami World.
She was sentenced to death for unauthorizedly granting humans the power of death.
Soon, Ichigo Kurosaki was brought back by Kisuke Urahara for special training in preparation for his journey to Soul Society.
The other friends were taken away by Yoruichi Shihouin to undergo training in Mangenjutsu.
When Kurosaki Ichigo saw Chu Yang, his face was filled with surprise and joy, because Chu Yang hadn't been to school for a long time, and the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Kurosaki Ichigo even thought that Chu Yang had encountered an accident.
Seeing Chu Yang unharmed here relieved Kurosaki Ichigo a little, and the pressure of heading to Soul Society was greatly reduced.
Kurosaki Ichigo vividly remembered just how strong Chu Yang was; the scene of him beating up a Hollow with his bare hands still shocked him to this day.
With such companions traveling to Soul Society, how could I not feel at ease?
However, Ichigo Kurosaki was unaware that Chu Yang's purpose in going there was to become a Shinigami and remain permanently in Soul Society.
After some time, Ichigo Kurosaki's special training ended.
He finally succeeded in his Shikai and learned the name of his Zanpakuto.
Slay the Moon!
Kisuke Urahara summons the Transcendental Gate, which contains a Spirit Converter. Since Soul Society is a world of souls, one must transform into a Spirit state to enter Soul Society.
Ichigo Kurosaki entered the Soul Society as a Shinigami, while others had to use a spirit particle converter to transform their bodies into a spirit particle state before going to the Soul Society.
Chu Yang felt nothing unusual during the entire transformation process. After the transformation was completed, he felt that there was no obvious difference between his spiritual state and his physical state.
Yoruichi Shihouin, in her black cat form, led the way, and the group followed her into the gate.
The room was pitch black. Apart from the path beneath their feet, the surroundings were filled with a distorted and dark mist. Yoruichi warned the group not to linger and to stay close to her.
After observing for a moment, Chu Yang realized that they were currently in the severance zone.
The so-called "Dangai" is the gap between the human world and the Soul Society. It belongs to another dimension and is a space where several broken spaces overlap and are surrounded by layers of temporal turbulence.
The flow of time here is different from that outside. If converted to a specific multiple, it is about 2000 times. That is, if one year passes outside, 2000 years will pass inside the barrier.
The severed realm is filled with restrictive currents, which are air currents that can prevent the movement of souls. Their existence is to limit the movement of the void, protecting not only the soul realm but also the mortal world.
Without the existence of the Stream of Restriction, it would be much easier for the Void to invade both worlds.
The only downside is that the Flow of Restriction doesn't just affect Hollows; any soul will be affected. If Chu Yang and the others don't dodge in time, they will be permanently trapped in the Broken Realm by the Flow of Restriction. This is why Yoruichi repeatedly reminded them to stay close to her.
The rushing water was like a floodgate opening, surging and following Chu Yang and his group at an extremely fast speed, gradually approaching, and it looked like it was about to engulf them.
At the critical moment, Orihime used her Shield Shun Six Flowers technique to form a barrier, barely managing to block the flow of the Stream. The intense impact of the collision between the two directly pushed Chu Yang and the others out of the barrier.
After landing, Chu Yang looked around.
Upon discovering that the surrounding area consisted of retro-style buildings, he realized that he had safely arrived in Soul Society.
This is Rukongai, the place where all the souls first reside after arriving in Soul Society.
Chu Yang looked at this scene, a mocking smile appearing on his lips.
The most ironic thing about the world of Bleach is that some people work like beasts of burden in life, but the Soul Society they arrive in after death is not the paradise they imagined, a place where they can enjoy peace and happiness.
Those who died with beautiful dreams will instead experience everything from the present world again in this place.
Even more brutal.
People here grow old and die, and they experience all the pain of this world.
The only difference is that in Soul Society, souls age very slowly.
This means they will have to "live" here for many years.
Is this a good thing?
This is indeed a good thing for someone with the talent of death.
But for those who don't have the talent of death, the time spent experiencing pain and torment is actually constantly being extended.
For some, living is painful, but after death, coming to the Soul Society is even more painful.
This cycle of suffering continues endlessly, life after life, without ceasing...
It's terrifying.
After safely arriving in the Tokumi World, Yoruichi begins to introduce the situation there.
The Soul Society is divided into two parts: the Soul Society and the Rukongai.
Soul Society is the center of the Soul World, the place where the Shinigami (gods of death) reside.
It is also a place where wealth and power gather, and Rukongai is the outer part of the Soul Society. It is divided into eighty districts and has four directions: east, west, south and north. The larger the number, the less resources there are. It is not only poor, but also prone to violence.
To put it bluntly, it's like Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York: one is wealthy, the other is poor; one symbolizes order, while the other represents a coexistence of freedom and chaos.
For the souls who come to Rukongai and want to live a good life in Soul Society, there is only one way: to become a Shinigami and live in Seireitei.
Before Yoruichi could finish explaining the situation in Soul Society, Ichigo Kurosaki rushed impatiently toward the Seireitei, only to have many walls suddenly appear in the sky, blocking his path.
A huge figure then appeared.
A giant as tall as a mountain, wielding an axe-shaped Zanpakuto, carved a deep crack in the ground.
"If you want to enter the White Path Sect, defeat me first!"
The giant laughed arrogantly.
Yoruichi then explained, "This guy is called Cursed Pill Workshop, one of the four great spiritual sects, the guardian of the White Path Sect. Besides him, the other three quiet spirit sects also have their own guardians."
"To enter the Soul Society through the Seireitei Gate, we must defeat these guardians."
After Yoruichi finished speaking, Chad and the others looked at Chu Yang.
Everyone naturally assumed that Chu Yang, as the strongest, should be the best candidate to challenge the Cursed Pill Workshop.
Chu Yang had no interest and slowly shook his head. The Curse Pill Workshop was too weak; at most, its combat strength was comparable to that of a lower-level Great Void cultivator.
"Then let me do it."
Kurosaki Ichigo confidently crossed the boundary drawn by the Judanbo, signifying that he would challenge this hero who had never lost in three hundred years.
Knowing the outcome already, Chu Yang didn't pay much attention to their battle.
Instead, he closed his eyes and tried to use his Observation Haki to sense his surroundings.
In the real world, he couldn't use his Observation Haki to perceive the actions of the Hollows, but here, after transforming into a Spirit Particle state, his Observation Haki began to function again.
Chu Yang sensed many powerful auras approaching.
One of the more recent auras is already close to the White Path Gate.
Based on the plot, the person who arrived should be Gin Ichimaru, the captain of the third division of the Gotei 13.
In the past, Chu Yang might have avoided his sharp edge.
However, now that Observation Haki can be used normally in Soul Society, Chu Yang can try to spar with Gin Ichimaru. This is a good opportunity to demonstrate his abilities.
Given Gin Ichimaru's personality, it's unlikely he would go all out to fight Chu Yang in his unlocked state, given that he's only dealing with a wandering monster who has intruded into Soul Society.
Chu Yang didn't want to escalate the battle to that extent.
If Chu Yang can successfully stall Gin Ichimaru for a while and demonstrate his talent and potential, given Captain-Commander Genryusai Yamamoto's personality, he will most likely agree to let Chu Yang become a Shinigami.
Gin Ichimaru's Zanpakuto, "Shinso," can extend rapidly in an instant.
As long as he doesn't unleash his full power, Chu Yang is confident that he can dodge the Divine Spear in its initial state using his Observation Haki.
Initial solution state.
The maximum range of the divine spear is 100 times its own length, and its attack carries an extremely strong impact. No matter how strong the defense, it can pierce straight through the enemy's body.
Objectively speaking, Gin Ichimaru's "sharp gun" is more like a modern sniper rifle, capable of accurately attacking the enemy's vitals from a hundred meters away.
Perhaps changing the name to "Barrett" would be more appropriate.
In its unlocked state, this Zanpakuto is transformed from a "musket" into a "cannon," boasting not only greater range but also increased speed!
The incredible speed generates kinetic energy that makes the "divine gun" virtually indestructible.
What's most unpredictable is that the sharpshooter can release a potent toxin that dissolves cells when it attacks.
Even Aizen, hailed as the strongest Shinigami, was nearly killed by Gin Ichimaru due to carelessness.
If it weren't for the Hogyoku's re-evolution and resurrection, it probably would have already died.
This demonstrates Gin Ichimaru's formidable strength.
However, no matter how powerful the sharpshooter is, there is still a very obvious flaw.
As a direct-attack type of slashing sword, the Shinsou's fighting style hasn't changed much; it's simple and brutal.
If the enemy anticipates the timing of their attack, it's still possible to evade it.
At least in his initial state, Chu Yang, who possesses Observation Haki, would not find it difficult to dodge the attack of the divine spear.
Therefore, Observation Haki is mechanicically effective against Divine Spear. As long as Chu Yang reacts quickly enough, he can completely avoid every attack from Divine Spear.
It doesn't matter if there are mistakes.
With the enhancements of his physique, Armament Haki, Lightning Release Armor, Sage Mode, and other abilities, Chu Yang could withstand several blows from the divine spear without suffering fatal damage.
Moreover, his powerful vitality allows Chu Yang to recover from any injuries during battle.
To paraphrase a shield enthusiast, "I could spend an entire day with you!"
In the blink of an eye, the Cursed Pill Shop guarding the White Path Gate was defeated by Ichigo Kurosaki, so quickly that it caught everyone off guard.
With his pride wounded, Judanbo burst into tears. Kurosaki Ichigo tried to comfort him, but inadvertently added insult to injury, causing Judanbo to cry even harder.
"We're in a bit of a rush, could you open the door before you cry?" Chu Yang kindly reminded him.
"You have absolutely no humanity."
The Cursed Pill Workshop glanced at Chu Yang, then stood in front of the White Path Gate, raised both hands, and lifted the entire gate, gesturing for Chu Yang and the others to enter.
But he didn't see that someone was slowly walking in from the other side of the gate.
"I'm sorry, you can't pass through here today. You'd better go back."
Gin Ichimaru, with his short white hair, stood on the other side of the White Gate, smiling at everyone. Then, he drew his Zanpakuto, and with a flash of light, he wounded Danbo.
The cultivator from the Curse Pill Workshop knelt painfully on one knee, but did not let go, still holding the door open.
Gin Ichimaru said coldly, "You can't even beat a few Ryoka? You're a piece of trash. This is your punishment for failing to protect the White Path Gate."
Upon seeing this, Ichigo was immediately enraged and was about to attack, but Yoruichi stopped him.
"This guy is the captain of the Third Division, a captain-level Shinigami. You are no match for him. You should leave first and then make further plans."
Ichigo ignored him completely, carrying Zangetsu and charging forward, ready to fight Gin Ichimaru head-on.
He stepped forward and delivered a slash, but Gin Ichimaru firmly blocked it.
Gin Ichimaru smiled slightly, swung his spear with force, and the divine spear in his hand turned into a white light, directly knocking Ichigo Kurosaki away, and also knocking away the struggling Judanbo behind him.
The moment the gate slammed shut, Chu Yang stepped forward without hesitation, braced himself against the white gate, and shouted:
"Now's the time, let's rush in!"
Upon hearing this, Chad and the others immediately rushed into the White Path Gate. Even Ichigo, after getting up, quickly rushed over as well.
"They can actually hold up the White Path Sect; their strength is quite impressive."
Gin Ichimaru was somewhat surprised. After praising him, he immediately attacked Chu Yang.
The divine spear extended again, transforming into a beam of white light that shot towards Chu Yang.
Chu Yang, at this moment, was supporting the White Path Sect and had no way to avoid it.
The spear was so fast and swift that no one had time to react, let alone warn Chu Yang to be careful.
The divine spear pierced Chu Yang's body fiercely.
With a loud bang!
During foggy times, dust flies everywhere.
Ichigo and the others stopped and looked over anxiously.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Chu Yang still stood under the White Path Sect, his body surface crackling with lightning, silver snakes dancing wildly.
He's like a thunder god!
"They actually made it through?"
Gin Ichimaru and Yoruichi both showed expressions of shock, as they were both well aware of the power of the divine spear.
Seeing that Chu Yang was alright, Ichigo and the others immediately rushed forward.
After several flashes of white light, they were all blasted away by the divine spear.
"I told you it's no use!"
Yoruichi shouted a reminder.
Since Ichigo and the others couldn't break through Gin Ichimaru's blockade, there was no point in Chu Yang continuing to resist. So he put down the White Gate and, amidst the shouts of Ichigo and the others, walked alone into the Seireitei.
Gin Ichimaru squinted. "I should have told you you couldn't get through here."
Chu Yang grinned, "Go ahead and kick me out if you dare."
"I could talk to you all day long."
Looking at Chu Yang, whose body was crackling with lightning, Gin Ichimaru suddenly became curious and asked, "A Fullbringer? I'm curious to know what kind of Fullbring technique could block my attack."
"Want to know?" Chu Yang stretched his body, stared at the Zanpakuto in Ichimaru Gin's hand, and smiled, "I'll tell you if you beat me."
"Pfft," Gin Ichimaru slowly shook his head and said with a smile, "You seem to have misunderstood something. I didn't even use one-tenth of my strength in that attack just now. If I had used my full strength, you would have turned to dust in an instant."
Chu Yang beckoned to Ichimaru Gin with his finger, "Then let's give it a try."
As soon as he finished speaking, the divine spear transformed into a long, narrow white beam and shot out, piercing towards Chu Yang with lightning speed.
A chill flashed in Gin Ichimaru's eyes. He had used at least 30% of his power, and the speed of the divine spear was five times that of before. There was no way he could dodge this arrogant traveler in front of him.
He was waiting for the scene of Chu Yang being torn apart by the divine spear.
But just as the divine spear was extended, Chu Yang's figure also disappeared in front of Ichimaru Gin. The almost certain strike of the divine spear directly pierced the air, and the usually smiling Ichimaru Gin instantly became serious.
"Such fast Instant Step! Faster than most of the Shinigami in the Gotei 13! Where did you learn that?"
Gin Ichimaru became increasingly curious about the young man in front of him.
Chu Yang chuckled and said, "I'll tell you the same thing: beat me."
Gin Ichimaru's smile began to change; those who knew him knew he was getting a little angry.
"You don't seem like a typical nobody, so I'll get serious and play along with you."
Gin Ichimaru wielded his divine spear, its tip scattering like starlight, transforming into countless beams of sword light that pierced towards Chu Yang. The powerful impact caused cracks to appear in the nearby walls and ground.
It's like a Barrett rifle used as a machine gun; just thinking about it sends chills down your spine.
To counter such a fierce attack, Chu Yang activated his Observation Haki to its fullest extent, constantly predicting the location of each of the opponent's thrusts, while simultaneously using Instant Step to move.
Ten seconds later, Gin Ichimaru stopped attacking, his narrowed eyes finally widening slightly as he looked at Chu Yang in surprise. His attacks had all been dodged by Chu Yang, as if Chu Yang had foreseen his attacks.
"This guy doesn't seem to be an ordinary wandering monster—"
Gin Ichimaru frowned and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Chu Yang chuckled and said, "You can call me Yang. I'm currently a first-year student at Karakura First High School. By the way, I'm the top student in my grade."
Gin Ichimaru paused for a moment, then said with a strange expression, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm asking you, where did you learn Shunpo?"
Chu Yang stroked his chin thoughtfully and replied, "A grocery store owner who doesn't look like a good person—"
Upon hearing this, Gin Ichimaru's eyelids twitched violently twice. He took a deep breath, suppressed his smile, and stared coldly at Chu Yang, saying, "It seems you're not planning to tell the truth. Don't blame me if you die next."
Chu Yang shrugged helplessly. "Every word you say is the truth. You're such a troublesome person."
Gin Ichimaru stopped wasting words with Chu Yang and unleashed the full power of the Divine Spear. Its speed was so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to catch it, and its impact was completely different from before.
Chu Yang felt immense pressure and stopped holding back.
With the aid of Armament Haki and Lightning Release Armor, he enters Sage Mode.
His body radiating brilliant lightning made Chu Yang look like a god.
In an instant, the divine spear had already thrust out over a hundred times.
But Chu Yang was only truly stabbed once, and he managed to withstand it.
Although Gin Ichimaru remained expressionless, he was once again shocked by Chu Yang's abilities.
Chu Yang didn't stand still foolishly. Instead, he kept adjusting his position, always keeping himself near the limit of the Divine Spear's range, and didn't let Ichimaru Gin close the distance.
If they get too close, under such a high density of attacks, Chu Yang will have a hard time dodging most of them.
As the two continued to move, the battlefield changed accordingly, gradually affecting many parts of the Soul Court and attracting the attention of many people.
Many Grim Reapers arrived, including some captains.
The fact that a rogue who suddenly barged into Soul Society could fight the Third Division Captain to such an extent is both surprising and intriguing.
After realizing that he would find it difficult to defeat Chu Yang in a short period of time, Gin Ichimaru's expression grew increasingly grim.
It wasn't that he hadn't considered using his own abilities; rather, as their positions changed, the two of them had already ventured deep into the Soul Society.
They were about to reach the position of captain of the third squad of the Gotei 13.
The damage caused by Shinsho here is incalculable. Although he will soon leave Soul Society with Aizen and will not be held responsible for it, it will still cause unforeseen complications for Aizen's plans.
If it affects Aizen's plans, although he doesn't care about it, now is not the time to turn against him.
After much deliberation, Gin Ichimaru suppressed the urge to unleash his power, thinking to himself, "Just a little longer. This little monster will eventually run out of spiritual and mental energy."
Then·
Surrounded by numerous death threats, they stubbornly held out until evening. As the sun set, the two were still fighting.
As it turned out, it was Gin Ichimaru who was the first to be exhausted.
He was no longer as composed as before; his face was grim, and he cursed himself for being an idiot.
On the other hand, Chu Yang, although he looked like a wolf and a fox.
However, his energy and spirit are clearly stronger than Gin Ichimaru's.
At this moment, many captains and vice-captains of the Gotei 3 were gathered outside the arena, and there were countless Shinigami under the demon's body. A group of people watched Gin Ichimaru eat with great interest.
The captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui, who always loved watching the excitement, chuckled and teased, "Captain Ichimaru, are you out of energy?"
"Would you like to take a break? I'll help you with this little problem."
Gin Ichimaru remained silent, silently cursing Shunsui Kyoraku in his heart.
The next moment, amidst a commotion, Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryu Shigekuni appeared on the battlefield between the two, surrounded by some Grim Reapers.
Yamamoto lowered his head, and Chu Yang raised his head; their eyes met.
Chu Yang smiled slightly, deactivated Sage Mode and Lightning Armor, leaving only the invisible Martial Essence. He then raised his hands, sat down heavily on the ground, and shouted, "I surrender!"
The many Grim Reapers who were watching the spectacle looked puzzled. Chu Yang clearly still had the strength to continue fighting Zhe, so why did he suddenly surrender?
Gin Ichimaru felt he had been tricked by Chu Yang, and trembled with anger. He roared, "What are you doing?"
Chu Yang simply lay down and said weakly, "I've been fighting all day, I'm tired, I want to sleep, you can leave now."
"sleep?"
Gin Ichimaru almost had a stroke. Why didn't you go to sleep earlier? I've been putting up with your monkey show all day. Our colleagues are almost here, and you're going to sleep now?
Get up right now and keep fighting Zhe!
asshole!
Old Kong is determined to poke three thousand holes all over your body!
"Stop it."
Captain-Commander Yamamoto's deep, weathered voice suddenly rang out, and everyone's faces turned solemn.
No matter how angry he was, Gin Ichimaru wouldn't be so foolish as to disobey Captain-Commander Yamamoto's orders. However, having lost face, he couldn't stay any longer, so he turned and left.
Kyoraku Shunsui walked to Chu Yang's side and carefully examined him. He had witnessed the entire battle just now and was somewhat shocked.
Despite not having the correct answer, Gin Ichimaru remains the captain of the Third Division, a feat that even a vice-captain level Shinigami has never been able to fight for so long.
But this little hole in front of me actually managed to get there!
How did he manage to dodge such a swift and powerful attack from the divine spear?
Kyoraku Shunsui is curious.
"Teacher, how should we handle this travel-related misfortune?"
Kyoraku Shunsui looked up at Yamamoto.
"He trespassed into the Soul Society without permission and caused such a huge disturbance in the Soul Reaper. Even if he surrenders, he cannot be let off easily. Lock him up and, after Rukia's execution, hand him over to the Central Shia-Roku Chamber for trial!"
Before leaving, the captain gave Chu Yang a deep look.
Then, surrounded by death, he turned and left.
"Old man Sora is quite interested in you," Kyoraku Shunsui whispered.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it; top students are always popular."
Seeing Chu Yang's optimism, Kyoraku Shunsui was taken aback. "Aren't you afraid?"
Chu Yang shrugged. "Being afraid is useless. We can't beat you anyway. So why waste our energy on such pointless emotions?"
Kyoraku Shunsui nodded and said, "You make a good point. You really are an interesting fellow."
Just as the two finished speaking, Kaname Tosen, the captain of the Ninth Division in charge of managing the prison, walked up to Chu Yang and said, "Get up. Come with me to the prison. Let me remind you, don't have any other ideas, or you'll die."
Chu Yang glanced at Dong Xianyao but didn't respond. If he really wanted to run, the Grim Reaper here might not be able to catch him.
Chu Yang obediently followed Dong Xian to the prison, not intending to cause any trouble. As long as he quietly waited for the plot to end, his goal would be achieved.
As for Aizen's conspiracy, or his deal with Kisuke Urahara, they were all beyond his control, and he couldn't interfere.
Chu Yang knew Urahara Kisuke's intentions, and he also knew Aizen's conspiracy.
Both of them were after the Hogyoku hidden within Rukia's soul.
This was originally a product that Kisuke Urahara accidentally obtained during an experiment, but it possesses the ability to break the limits of Shinigami power.
Aizen has been researching how to break through the limits of a Shinigami.
There is only one answer—the Hollowfication of the Shinigami.
The Hollowfication of Shinigami and the Shinigami transformation of Hollows can transcend the limits of Shinigami power if a balance can be achieved between these two forces.
The only thing that could bring Aizen to this point is the Hogyoku.
The Hogyoku possesses self-awareness and can absorb the hearts of things around it and materialize them.
Simply put, the Hogyoku can grant any wish you have in your heart, but of course there are limits. It's not that you can just make a wish and the Hogyoku will fulfill it.
In addition, the Hogyoku can also protect the host's physical body from death and destruction.
When the host's power reaches its limit or their life is threatened, the Hogyoku will prompt the host to evolve to a higher level.
In case of any unforeseen circumstances during the Hollowfication process, the Hogyoku can ensure Aizen's safety.

Both the Hogyoku developed by Aizen and the Hogyoku developed by Kisuke Urahara were only semi-finished products, unusable, extremely unstable, and very dangerous.
That's why Kisuke Urahara hid the Hogyoku he had researched into Rukia's soul.
Even Rukia's arrival in the human world and her transfer of Shinigami powers to Ichigo Kurosaki—the entire incident was influenced by Kisuke Urahara.
Kisuke Urahara gave Rukia a prosthetic body that has the effect of dissolving spiritual power. The user will gradually lose spiritual power until they become an ordinary person.
He wanted to make Rukia lose her Shinigami powers, turn her into a human, and thus hide the Hogyoku so that it couldn't be obtained by Keita's people.
Meanwhile, Aizen realized Urahara Kisuke's intentions.
Therefore, after killing the sage of the Central Chamber 46, he used the power of the Mirror Flower Water Moon to hypnotize everyone who entered and left the place, and then issued false orders.
He used a false order to have Byakuya Kuchiki, Asan, and Renji bring Rukia back to Soul Society and execute her.
If Rukia is struck by the powerful force of the two platforms, the Hogyoku within her body will appear.
In fact, Chu Yang had also considered taking the Hogyoku, but at this stage he was not able to snatch it from Urahara Kisuke and Aizen, so he could only watch from the sidelines.
Given Aizen's intelligence, he would have noticed even the slightest unusual movement from Chu Yang.
Chu Yang didn't know what the love carpet would look like then, but he knew for sure that he would die before everyone else.
Aizen is very strong.
At one point, he even overshadowed Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryu Shigekuni, who had held the title of strongest Shinigami for a thousand years.
Aizen's Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu, is an illusion-type Zanpakuto with abilities that can be described as overpowered.
Once the target has seen the Shikai of Kyoka Suigetsu even once, their five senses will be controlled, allowing Aizen to manipulate them at will.
What you see is always what Aizen wants you to see; even if you know you've been hypnotized, you can't wake up.
How would you describe the extent to which this ability is bugged?
In terms of effect, it is a weaker version of Infinite Tsukuyomi, but it has no restrictions, and Aizen can use it at any time if he wants to.
Aside from his Zanpakuto being incredibly powerful, Aizen's four abilities as a Shinigami—Sword Technique, Hakuda, Shunpo, and Kido—are all at the highest level among Shinigami, with very few comparable to him.
Any normal person with a modicum of common sense would not provoke such a terrifying creature.
If Chu Yang wants to fight Aizen, he must obtain the Six Paths Sage Mode with the Rinnegan, and may even need to eat the fruit of the Divine Tree.
In short, now is not the time to have a direct confrontation with Aizen. As I said before, problems that the protagonist can solve are not problems, and Chu Yang doesn't need to risk his life.
Surviving this battle and reaping enough profits is a sure thing.
In the crowd, Renji Abarai, the vice-captain of the Sixth Division and Rukia's childhood friend, watched as Kaname Tosen took Chu Yang away.
Then, under the cover of night, he secretly went to the Penitentiary where Rukia was imprisoned and told her about Ichigo and his group. Upon hearing this, Rukia, who was usually expressionless, showed a panicked expression for the first time after hearing that Ichigo and the others had come to Soul Society to rescue her.
She originally left the human world and voluntarily returned to the Soul Society to avoid implicating Ichigo.
"Among them, there was a traveler named Yang who had already been imprisoned by Dongxian. If there hadn't been no casualties, he probably would have been taken to the Palace of Penitence."
Renji Azan recalled the previous battle and couldn't help but sigh, "I have to say, that guy was pretty amazing. He managed to hold his own against Gin Ichimaru for so long. They fought from morning till night, and in the end, when Gin Ichimaru was exhausted, that guy actually took the initiative to admit defeat."
Rukia didn't react for a moment. "Who are you saying is fighting Gin Ichimaru?"
Renji asked疑惑地问道：“Don’t you know someone named Yang?”
"I only knew him," Rukia suddenly recalled the scene of him fighting Hollows bare-handed, and after a long pause, she said, "I didn't expect him to have gotten stronger again."
Renji nodded and said, "He is indeed quite strong. Even without his Zanpakuto, he can still fight Ichimaru Gin Sensetsu to this extent. If he weren't human and were a Shinigami, he would probably be a captain-level figure by now."
Rukia fell silent.
