Alchemist in Death

Chapter 327 Are you Zanpakuto or Xu?
Ichigo's choice is...

The second type!
In fact, it can't be considered a choice. This is the only thing he can use. What Ichigo lacks most at present is time. Logically speaking, the most suitable one should be the first one. Just look at the Lock of Cause and Effect, either success or death.

This choice seems dangerous, but don't forget that Ichigo is the son of destiny. Although Urahara's title is a bit ridiculing, the actual situation is not much different. The people behind Ichigo will not look at him. He died like this, so as long as there is even a 100% success rate, for Ichigo, it is [-]%, forcing the protagonist to die!

But the crux of the problem is here...

The power of Xu in Ichigo's body is too strong now, once he cuts off the chain of cause and effect, he will be instantly swallowed by Xu's power and become Xu directly!
The chance of becoming the Grim Reaper is zero!
So I can only choose the second one. Although it is slower, it is more stable, and judging from the talent Ichigo has shown so far, it may not take much time.

After adjusting his condition, Ichigo sat on the ground, closed his eyes slightly, and immersed his spirit into his body.

"To begin to solve the problem, the most fundamental problem is to find the power of death, but this is different from the first method. You only need to find the power of death belonging to Lucia in your body, and then follow that power , you can communicate with your Zanpakutō, and then just ask for the name. The way to sense the power of the Shinigami is...remember, the red one is the power of the Shinigami."

Recalling the methods of Urahara, Ichigo slowly sank his spirit into his body, and his spirit body appeared in a sea of ​​spirit children.

"Is this...the power in my body? Let me see...the red spiritual network..."

Looking at the white spiritual veins floating around, Ichigo frowned. This seemed to be different from what Rukia said. Didn't it mean that it was difficult to master?

However, Ichigo didn't think much about it. Business was important. He could ask directly when he went out later. Now that he thought about it, it was just a waste of time.

Ichigo floated in the air, looking around, looking for the red spiritual line.

Of course, it is said to be seeing, but in fact it is perception. Seeing is just a manifestation of the conscious body's perception. In fact, Ichigo does not need to move his sight, and can even "see" these spiritual channels by closing his eyes.

Ichigo's perception continued to spread, looking for that touch of red in the sea of ​​white.

Originally, Ichigo thought it was quite simple. There was such a big difference between white and red, so couldn't he just have hands?

But after I got there, I realized it wasn’t that simple...

The color of Ling Luo can only be seen if you carefully perceive it. For example, the white Ling Luo he sees now is not the real look. Only by perceiving it can you know whether it is white or red. Yes, it is quite difficult
Although it was very difficult, Ichigo did not give up. Difficulty is normal. If you obtain strong power easily, it only means that there is something wrong with that power itself.

Gains may not be directly proportional to efforts, but gains without effort are definitely problematic!
Ichigo concentrated on sensing the spiritual network. As time went by, Ichigo's heart inevitably developed some anxiety. According to Rukia, he must gain enough power in a very short time. !

Only in this way can we resist those conspirators behind the scenes and break free from their control!
Although Rukia didn't say it explicitly, Ichigo could still tell that those who played chess behind her back definitely included her teacher!

And when Lucia said this to him, she was undoubtedly going against her teacher, and Lucia also saved the lives of their family. Faced with this series of kindnesses, even a stone would be moved. What's more, he is still a human being?
Even if his opponent is one of the top combat powers in Soul Society, he can't dare to move!
Must move!
just
How turbulent your heart is, how cruel the reality is
Nothing but more sadness.

Just when Ichigo was about to give up temporarily and go back to prepare, something happened.
"Hahahaha~ Useless piece of shit! Just be a human and be devoured by me! Hahahaha!"

Ichigo's expression changed instantly!
Ichigo was extremely wary of this evil-intentioned voice, so he was immediately alert. But he didn't know if it was because of his condition. Although the voice was still full of evil-intentions, it didn't seem to have any impact on him.
Before Ichigo could think deeply about the reason, the surrounding spiritual connections suddenly danced crazily, and a blood-red spiritual connection suddenly floated out!
Ichigo's expression was startled, he put aside all his thoughts, and the conscious body appeared directly in front of the spirit channel, and grabbed it in his hand.

The moment he grabbed the red spiritual energy, Ichigo felt his "body" sink, and his whole body fell rapidly!
It was also suddenly dark in front of my eyes.

When his vision returned again, he found that the environment around him had changed. There were towering buildings everywhere. The sky was cloudless and blue, which looked particularly beautiful. And he himself was standing in a building. on the rooftop.

"Here it is." Ichigo looked around in surprise. Suddenly, a middle-aged man wearing a black windbreaker appeared in his sight, standing upright on the rooftop railing with only one hand.

"Are you...my Zanpakutō?"

"You can say that." Zangetsu nodded noncommittally, and then showed a faint smile, "You finally came, Jigu. I have been waiting for a long time."

"You are waiting for me?"

"Yes, every Zanpakutō is waiting for his master, but many of them can't wait. I'm lucky to have waited for you."

"So, would you like to tell me your name?"

"Since you can come here, you can hear my name. Remember, my name."

In the real world, Ichigo, who was standing in the open space, suddenly opened his eyes, pulled out his Zanpakutō from behind with both hands, stood it up in front of him, and shouted: "Forget that fear, look ahead; move forward, don't stop; retreat is just a matter of time." You will grow old, and timidity will lead to death. Shout, Zangetsu!"

"boom!"

In Rukia's horrified eyes, unusually powerful spiritual pressure surged out of Ichigo's body!
This level of spiritual pressure is enough to rival an average captain!
You know, this is just the beginning of understanding. If you learn how to understand Swastika,
"Whoo~"

Slowly, the spiritual pressure that erupted on Ichigo gradually dissipated. Although there was still a steady stream of spiritual power leaking from Ichigo unnaturally, the power was not as terrifying as before.

A strong wind roared past, taking away all the dust, revealing Ichigo carrying a large kitchen knife.

"I finished."

"Congratulations." Urahara replied lightly, and then looked at Rukia with Ichigo.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Seeing the sure look in Urahara's eyes and the surprised look in Ichigo's eyes, Rukia was a little confused. What's strange about her?

Lucia's expression changed, she knew what the problem was!

"Rukia, why hasn't your power recovered?" Sure enough, the next moment, Ichigo asked in surprise.

Yes, Rukia's Shinigami power has not been restored.

Logically speaking, after Ichigo obtains his own Shinigami power, her power should be restored. After all, the reason why her Shinigami power flows continuously to Ichigo is to allow him to possess the power of Death. In other words, it can better stimulate the Quincy and Hollow power in his body.

Now that Ichigo has gained his own Shinigami power, Rukia's Shinigami power should have been restored, but... it didn't.
The channel that previously flowed to Ichigo has been closed, and her Death Power no longer flows to Ichigo, but at the same time, the new Death Power failed to stay in her body, but dissipated directly, as if...
She doesn't deserve anything like that.
He was actually despised by his own strength.
She should be regarded as creating the history of Soul Society.
Rukia thought so.

"Do you know the reason?" Rukia frowned and looked at Urahara who was smiling at the side.

"I know a little bit about it. You used the gloves that Ichiro gave you, right?"

"That's natural. The teacher asked me to master it as soon as possible. Wait, you mean, the teacher did this?"

"Yes, and no." Urahara fanned himself, trying to calm down a bit.

Ichigo on the side also calmed down at this time. Since he is Rukia's teacher, there must be no problem, probably.
Thinking of what Rukia said about swordsmanship training, Ichigo felt less confident again. Wait, swordsmanship training?Isn't Rukia's teacher not good at swordsmanship?

Ichigo frowned. He once again found some illogical places. Just when he was about to think deeply, Urahara's voice sounded, directly disrupting his thoughts, so he forgot about the matter again.

"First of all, I think you know the reason why Ichiro gave you this glove, right?"

"Well, it will improve my cold resistance so that I can better master my Shikai and Swastika. Could it be said that this is why my power of death has not been restored?"

"That's right, I reckon that your power of death god won't recover until you have fully mastered the present technique, Sode Shirayuki."

"This is 'yes', so why do you say 'no' again?" Ichigo asked in confusion.

"It was Ichiro who helped you design this method to completely control the Zanpakutō, but it was not him who caused the current situation. Do you think Ichiro will use such a gentle method to help you? Wait for you to slowly master it? What are you thinking? Then A few years ago, this guy was a little wary, but now that the resurrection technique has been used so much, it has no taboos. The threshold has already been lowered. If it were him, he would only make you reincarnate in the cycle of life and death. Either you will be completely comprehended, or you will be beaten to pieces, and your body will slowly adapt to the power of your Zanpakutō.

"So it's probably the world that makes you what you are now."

"Gu~" Ichigo couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and looked at Rukia with some fear, "I guess, it's unlikely, right?"

Lucia didn't speak, but nodded with a pale face. With her teacher's style, she could really do it.
After all, even the master who loves her the most has "missed" and killed her many times when training her
This is true for her, not to mention Ichiro.,

In the same way, Ichiro can only be kind to her disciples of Lucia, and will not treat her Lucia preferentially in this regard. This Ichiro once said, it is called a cross-generational relationship.
"Are you gods of death so terrible?"

"It's not us, it's just that they are like this. I don't know the training method of Unohana-senpai, but Ichiro said that he also grew up in this kind of environment. The most profound impression on me was when we just graduated from Zhenou Reijutsu Not long after graduating from the academy, he had a training camp with Unohana-senpai. At that time, he almost died dozens of times every day! At that time, Ichiro had not yet invented the resurrection technique~"

Ichigo: "."

Ichigo was silent for a while, and suddenly looked at Rukia vigilantly, with an extremely serious expression: "Promise me Rukia! No matter what! Don't treat me as your disciple! Don't even try to train me! If you really want to If you enjoy it enough, it’s not right for me to lend you my child to play with in the future, let him be your disciple!”

Urahara, Isshin, Rukia: "."

The three of them looked at Ichigo speechlessly, this guy is cheating on his son!
"Papa~" Urahara was startled by Ichigo's words. Urahara shook his head, clapped his hands, and drew everyone's attention back. "Since we have completed the first solution, let's stop here today. Starting tomorrow, you guys How about you both take time to come to my place and I can help you train?"

"Then what about those hypocrisy?" Ichigo frowned.

"It's okay. If there is any weakness during the period, we will deal with it. You can just train with peace of mind."

Rukia frowned and looked at Urahara, a little unhappy, but she did not refuse his proposal. Just as she said to Ichigo before, the weak have no right to resist and can only go with the flow. The so-called fairness is just strong. It's just a person's pity for the weak.

Therefore, even though she knew that Urahara must be planning something behind his back, the reason why she still agreed to the training was that she was too weak and had no right to refuse.
Rukia didn't have any objections, and naturally Ichigo didn't have any objections either, but he still discovered something from Rukia's expression, so he didn't tell Urahara the news he originally learned from Zangetsu.

Ichigo's spiritual world

"I said, since you helped that guy get here, why not just give him all your power?" A white Ichigo slowly condensed and said to Zangetsu, who was silently looking at the city.

"Are you a Zanpakutō or a Hollow now?"

"Who knows?" Shiro Ichigo showed a mysterious smile and slowly dissipated, "Forget it this time, Quincy, if you dare to interfere with Ichigo's growth next time, be careful, I will kill you!"

"Kill me? It seems that it is good news that the Zanpakuto has the upper hand now, but what will they do?" Zangetsu raised his head, looked at the blue, cloudless sky, and murmured in a low voice , "Yijigu, hurry up and become stronger. You are enough to carry all the power now! He is already here, and your time is running out."
