Chapter 17

"The spiritual pressure fragment of Daxuwa Stod."

"..."

Haruto was really shocked now.

Although he also knew that the Seireitei Research Institute founded by Hikifune Kiryu was the predecessor of the Technology Development Bureau later established by Urahara Kisuke.

But who would have thought that the research on the Hollow would have started so early... It is normal to analyze the opponent, but making part of the Hollow into food, Haruto feels that this level is not at all better than the Hollow. of ease.

Moreover, as the highest-level Daxu, Vastod has only been counted in two hands in the entire history of Hueco Mundo. Where did Hikifune Kiryuu get the spiritual pressure fragments of this thing?

"Washtod..."

"Captain Hikifune can't just go to Hueco Mundo and kill one and then use the fragments for research, right?"

Haruto asked after considering his words.

Haruto naturally recognizes Hikifune Kiryu's combat prowess - although the criterion for entering the Zero Division is to create something of great significance to Soul Society, one's own strength is also the most basic condition.

It is definitely not comparable to the combat power after being promoted to the zero team and undergoing the transformation of the king key, but it is definitely not something that an ordinary captain can achieve.

Defeat Vastod...

Hikifune Kiryuu has this strength.

"That's not true."

Byakuya shook his head.

"I don't know the details, but my father once mentioned that it should have been obtained through our family's channels."

"..."

The great nobles are so inhumane.

In fact, this is reasonable: without the endorsement of the Kuchiki family, Hikifune Kiryu's experiment would not have been so easy to pass in the central room 46 at the beginning; and if the most important material did not come from the Kuchiki family, it would not have been so easy for them. , get this thing from Hikifune Kiryu.

even......

Maybe this Tenzumaru was originally prepared for Kuchiki Sojun.

"6."

Haruto gave Byakuya a thumbs up:

"Then what?"

"Is this Tenzuku Pill useful? Otherwise, why did you get such a precious thing?"

"Of course it works!"

Facing Haruto’s question, Byakuya immediately retorted:

"that is......"

"A little side effect."

Haruto knew that things would not be that simple, but that didn't stop him from joking:

"Do you wear a mask on yourself unconsciously?"

"What did you say?"

Byakuya looked at Haruto with a question mark on his face.

"No, no, no, you continue, you continue -"

"..."

Byakuya glanced at Haruto and resisted the urge to take Tenzōmaru back.

"The body transformed by Tenzuki Pills will continuously absorb spiritual pressure to strengthen the body and muscles. The effect is most obvious at the beginning, and the amount absorbed will be significantly reduced each time, but there is no way to rely on personal will. Take the initiative to stop.”

"And eating too much won't help."

"My father came to the conclusion after using it."

Byakuya solemnly told Haruto this information.

"to be honest."

Haruto thought for a while and then took over the topic and said:

"After swallowing this Tenzhu Pill, my reiatsu accumulation speed will slow down, but my body will become stronger due to absorbing reiatsu?"

"That's right."

Byakuya nodded and confirmed.

"...Then I understand."

Taking into account Hikifune Kiryu's ability and Kuchiki Sojun's physical condition, the effect of this Tenzuki Pill is indeed the right medicine.

"This thing..."

Haruto gently threw the Tenzuku Maru in his hand into the air.

"I really could use it."

The teeth that closed up and down firmly caught the Tianzhu Pill, and then rolled it forcefully into the throat.

"Gudong."

Swallowed.

Haruto is very aware of his situation.

His talent in accumulating and using spiritual pressure is top-notch, otherwise he would not be able to reach the seventh level of spiritual power in just five years; but in contrast, even though he has the blessing of "double soul", it cannot increase at all. physical fitness——

Of course, it may also be that the body is overwhelmed by the pressure of the two souls.

What restricts his performance is his body, not his spiritual pressure. If Haruto had a body like Kenpachi, Bai Lei could fire continuously like a heavy machine gun.

If he could sacrifice part of the increase in spiritual pressure in exchange for a better body, Haruto thought it would be a sure-fire deal.

————

"How about it?"

Byakuya never expected that Haruto's movements would be so crisp.

The God of Death attaches great importance to spiritual pressure. Normally, when encountering such a drug that has a negative impact on spiritual pressure, one must think carefully for a long time before making a decision.

His father, Sojun Kuchiki, would never have considered eating this food if it hadn't been for the severe impact on his physical condition.

Among the Tenzuku Pills made by Hikifune Kiryu, the one Haruto swallowed just now was actually the last one.

As for the first one...

A seriously ill player from the 13th Division volunteered to become the first-generation test subject.

"..."

Haruto looked down at his dexterous fingers, thought for a moment and replied:

"It works, but it's different from what you said."

His physical condition did not improve immediately, but the exchange of increased spiritual pressure for physical strengthening was indeed happening.

"It's different from my father's situation...could it be because your spiritual pressure is too weak?"

Bai Ya was obviously very curious about Haruto's condition.

"Couldn't it be that the difference between uncle's spiritual pressure and physical fitness is too big?"

"You are not much stronger, right?"

Bai Ya looked Haruto up and down and retorted:

"I always feel that it is a bit of a waste to give you such a precious pill."

"Do you dare to say this before giving it to me?"

Haruto decisively rolled his eyes at Bai Ya - as for whether this kid saw it, it only depends on how good his observation is, and it is definitely not that Haruto's eyes are too narrow.

"That's right, originally I saw that your white fight and instant step have not changed for half a year, so I took the Tenru Pill from home."

"Now it seems that it is a bit different from what I imagined."

After Bai Ya's father took the Tenru Pill, his complexion improved visibly, and he was able to attend meetings with his grandfather normally in about a week.

On the other hand, Haruto——

"When you have some improvement in the skills of Zanquan Zougui, I am afraid that I will have become the captain of the Gotei 13."

"That's a nice thought."

Haruto stood up from the cross-legged position, and in the blind spot of Byakuya's sight, a small electric light emerged from the fingertips on the edge of the skirt.

"Who of us will become the captain first..."

"It's really hard to say."

————

Byakuya left.

Although he said it was very unkind, he actually valued the friendship between the two of them very much.

In name, he wanted to show Haruto his Shikai, but the most important thing was this valuable Tenjumaru.

Otherwise, there would be no need to specially choose such a secret space that only nobles knew about——In Haruto's understanding, Byakuya was the kind of guy who wished that the whole Soul Society knew that he could Shikai.

"Hikefune Kiryu."

Haruto was still quietly feeling the changes in his body.

After leaving a sentence "Remember to close the door when you leave", Byakuya gave the whole place to Haruto.

"That's someone who can be selected by the Zero Squad. Look at the members who were selected into the Zero Squad before him: the inventor of the Zanpakutō, the inventor of the Shinigami's strongest Kaido and fastest Shunpo, and the inventor of the White Bone Blood Pond."

"How could the Kuchiki family keep the important items exchanged from her so loosely that Byakuya could easily get them."

If it were someone else.

Before Hikifune Kiryu was promoted to the Zero Squad, he might not understand how powerful she was, but Haruto was different.

"The Kuchiki family is a big favor."

Haruto shook his head helplessly.

"If the White Thunder Secret and Shunpo techniques are just small favors, then this time's Tenjumaru is definitely worth a thousand gold."

Byakuya seems to be rash in his actions, but he is very loyal when it comes to keeping his mouth shut. He will definitely not tell his family the information he told Byakuya.

Then the good intentions of the Kuchiki family are not the favorite bets of the nobles——

"Kuchiki Sojun."

Haruto remembered the gentle and kind face of Byakuya's father. He and Kuchiki Sojun first met in the Japanese-style room of the Kuchiki family.

"This guy is too fond of Byakuya."

Haruto couldn't help but sigh.

"......"

"Huh!"

Haruto stood there for a long time. Finally, he no longer struggled and regained his mentality.

"Hado Four"

Haruto raised his index finger to the distant wall.

"White Thunder!"

The dazzling electric light instantly pierced through the air barrier, and a clear change of light and dark was played on the wall.

"......"

The changes in the body before and after the release of the Kidou were clearly visible.

The power of the spiritual pressure-enhanced version of the white thunder has not changed, but the damage and pain to the tendons in the body have been reduced by more than 50% compared to the one in the martial arts field; not only that, the numbness that originally took three or four seconds to recover also quickly dissipated in less than half a second.

The spiritual pressure in the body was consumed a little bit, probably to repair the body.

"Unlike what Byakuya said, the changes will be very obvious when taking it for the first time."
