Me and countless me.

Chapter 404: Not a Dramatic Development

Three months later——

"Shifengyuan is indeed one of the four great families. The level of detail in the information is truly astonishing. They even have information on this aspect..."

Li Ke sat in his own shop, looking at the various materials in his hands, and couldn't help but praise them.

After he agreed to be Shifengyuan Yoruichi's sparring partner, the other party offered him a pretty good salary and some information.

These data explained in detail the changes of the spirit particles in various states, so with the help of the instruments of the Shifengyuan family, Li Ke quickly figured out many physical formulas about the spirit particles.

Although the principles of these formulas have not yet been solved, it does not prevent him from using and calculating them.

As for why we should study these...

People like Kurosaki Ichigo are still a minority after all. Li Ke intends to be like Aizen, without any shortcomings, so he needs to do these things.

The price was not without. Shifengyuan Yoruichi asked him to help build a secret base, so he had to dig a pit where the two fought, and then built a secret base underground. This alone took up three months of his free time, and although Shifengyuan Yoruichi helped during this period, she was extremely busy at other times, so the two of them only met two or three times in three months, and didn't even have a single training session.

Li Ke didn't take Shifengyuan Yoruichi seriously and started a life of training and studying.

"But if the spirit particles are highly concentrated, some strange states will occur. It seems that if I want to fully understand the secrets of the spirit particles, I really need to come into contact with the power of the Spirit King and see how special this power is."

Li Ke looked at the palm of his hand. With the help of the Shifengyuan family's library, he learned a lot of ghost arts, and it became easy for him to use spirit particles to create barriers.

So at this time, Li Ke was in the secret base built by himself and Shifengin Yoruichi. After all, neither he nor Shifengin Yoruichi intended to let other people in the Shifengin family know about their relationship.

Li Ke didn't want to be too prominent, while Shifengyuan Yeyi had other reasons. But at this moment, he thought of a person who had a strong presence in the world of death, but also had little presence.

This work, like Yoruichi Shihouin, features a big-breasted woman, Rangiku Matsumoto, who is in charge of welfare.

"I remember that Matsumoto Rangiku also had the power of the Soul King in her body, but it was a little less, and it was later taken away by Aizen..."

After making the decision, Li Ke put away the scroll in his hand, closed his eyes, and silently gathered the spirit particles.

Construct the basic skeleton.

See Local Spells.

Shaping the spirit particle vortex.

Optimize the lepton circuit.

Simulate spell and release!
Specks of blue light appeared around Li Ke. The next moment, butterflies appeared above Li Ke's head, flapping their blue-black wings and began to move towards the outside of the secret base.

This was his modified version of the Taoist art of finding people. The original Taoist art of finding people used paper cranes to find people, and it took a long time to nurture them. But in this world, it was not so troublesome. He used spirit particles to simulate a false soul, and then turned it into a butterfly, and then he could easily use these butterflies to find what he wanted. Compared with the hell butterflies in this world, the ability to find people and the flying speed were better.

When the butterflies flew away, Shihouin Yoruichi suddenly appeared from the entrance and landed in front of him.

"Why did you release so many searching butterflies?"

Shifengyuan Yeyi also knew about Li Ke's "ghost way", and Li Ke did not hesitate to summarize the knowledge. However, for Shifengyuan Yeyi, she cared more about another aspect.

So after asking Li Ke, Shifengyuan Yoruichi started to take off her clothes.

"Find someone. After all, my research requires a concentration of spirit particles beyond the normal level... What are you doing? Why are you taking off your clothes?"

Li Ke stared at Shifengyuan Yoruichi who had taken off all her clothes, even her hairband, and asked in confusion.

"Now that this secret base is complete and won't be discovered by other people, then it's natural for you to fulfill your duties as a coach, right? As for why you're stripping naked..."

Shihouin Yoruichi clenched her fists with gritted teeth.

"Is it possible for me to train with you without being stripped naked?! Rather than that, I'd rather strip naked myself!"

Li Ke: “…………”

What you said makes sense!
And Shifengyuan Yoruichi didn't act pretentiously. He jumped directly into the open space and waved to Li Ke. Li Ke had no intention of refusing and came in front of Shifengyuan Yoruichi like lightning.

The two men quickly began to fight, but Li Ke was more focused on feeding Shifengyuan Yoruichi his moves, and in the process he was thinking about the ghost way of gravity, constantly pressing the gravity that ordinary people could not bear on his body, so that he could get training in this childish battle!

After catching Li Ke's fist, Shifengyuan Yoruichi subconsciously opened her eyes wide.

"This guy has become so much stronger?!"

Feeling that Li Ke's strength was already lower than when he didn't use spiritual particles to strengthen himself, Shifengin Yoruichi finally couldn't hold back and roared in anger. The violent spiritual power burst out instantly, and before Li Ke had time to recharge his passion, he began to use all his strength!
As a result, the secret base began to shake continuously.

The two of them trained continuously, and when they couldn't hold on any longer, they would apply medicine to each other, then quarrel with each other, and then continue training after a rest.

But after today's training, Li Ke couldn't help but frowned when she saw the scratches on Shifengyuan Yoruichi's arm. Although Shifengyuan Yoruichi's medicine was very good, Shifengyuan Yoruichi had used all her strength in the fight with him, and she could easily hurt herself, so this was actually a flaw.

"Does your Shifengyuan family have any advanced Kaido-related techniques?"

Shifengyuan Yoruichi touched her wound and was a little surprised that Li Ke wanted to learn Huidao just by seeing her wound, but she answered truthfully.

"There is a way, but it will soon become useless to you. So instead of learning from our family, why don't I give you a certificate and let you go to the Fourth Division to learn Kaido. Besides, the captain there is a great beauty, and there are many cute girls among the Shinigami there, which can just satisfy your desires, right?"

While speaking, there was a strange smile on Shifengyuan Yoruichi's face, and it was obvious that she was expecting Li Ke to fall into a trap.

"Fourth Division?"

Li Ke thought about it. He knew that Shihouin Yoruichi wanted him to fall into the trap of Unohana Retsu from the Fourth Division. He wanted him to offend the other party and then be taught a lesson by the other party.

After all, Unohana Retsu is not a simple guy. He is the captain of the 11th Division of the original Gotei 13, the Shoda Kenpachi, a brutal swordsman.

But he felt that he was not a swordsman, nor did he have the character that was as eager to fight as a ferocious beast, so even if he came into contact with Unohana Retsu, there would be no problem.

"That's fine, um..."

Li Ke, who was about to agree, was stunned for a moment, because his searching butterfly had already found the target he was looking for. He found several girls aged twelve or thirteen, all wandering in Rukongai, and they all fit the description of Matsumoto Rangiku.

"...Next time. I have something to do for now, so I'll leave first."

Li Ke had no intention of stopping and disappeared in front of Shifengyuan Yoruichi in an instant, but this made Shifengyuan Yoruichi narrow her eyes.

"Are you planning to do something weird?"

Thinking of this, Shifengyuan Yoruichi quickly put on her clothes and followed Li Ke. Li Ke didn't care and rushed towards the first girl found by the searching butterfly.

Ordinary people couldn't see his figure at all, and even Shifengyuan Yoruichi found it difficult to keep up with Li Ke's pace. But at the moment when Li Ke passed by a forest, a gentle-looking woman who was picking herbs with a few people suddenly raised her head.

Because she sensed a sharp and clear fighting spirit, which was so clear and high that she subconsciously let go of the herbs in her hand and held the Zanpakuto at her waist!

Unlike the beast he had encountered before, which relied completely on instinct and which he cared about very much, this one gave people the feeling of being absolutely rational, using reason and will to control the sword in his hand!
"To my surprise... I was able to encounter two completely opposite beings..."

She showed a somewhat crazy smile, which scared a team member next to her and made him speak subconsciously.

"Captain Unohana?"

Unohana Retsu restrained his smile, bent down to pick up the herbs, handed them to the team member in front of him, and then smiled slightly.

"I'll come as soon as I go."

The moment she finished speaking, her figure disappeared, leaving the team members confused.

However, Li Ke did not notice this at this time, because his mind was already attracted by other things. The dilapidated streets, the expressionless people, as if they had no future, they moved around the dilapidated houses aimlessly, or lay there, violence and crime were endless.

He couldn't help but slow down his pace, looking at those ordinary souls, and couldn't help frowning.

It's too chaotic, just like the Gotham where DC Li Ke lives. It's chaotic to a terrible extent that makes people want to take action.

So Li Ke looked at Shifengyuan Yoruichi who followed him and couldn't help but ask.

"Will the God of Death not care about these souls in Rukongai?"

The moment he spoke, Li Ke waved his hand and a ghost magic spell called White Thunder shot out. The white lightning instantly pierced through several villains who wanted to rob the old man's food, allowing the other parties to keep the food in their arms.

"You have some misunderstanding about the god of death."

Shihouin Yoruichi suppressed her sympathy and spoke expressionlessly.

"Whether these souls are happy or sad, their final outcome is to transform back into spirit particles, and then feed back to the Three Realms, allowing the Three Realms to function normally. So whether they have lived a happy or painful life, it is the same for them. The reason they are still alive is just to prevent the Three Realms from being unbalanced due to too much power suddenly pouring into their cycle."

After a pause, Shihouin Yoruichi continued speaking.

"In fact, sometimes, because of the invasion of Hollows, we killed too many Hollows and the power of Hueco Mundo was damaged. Then we had to purge a group of residents of Rukongai to let the three realms return to a relatively stable state. To avoid the imbalance of the three realms and let the three worlds collide with each other. So instead of giving them a good life, it is really better to let them exist like this. At least in this way, they won't think too much, and when they encounter things that cannot be disobeyed, they won't be so painful."

Li Ke was silent for a moment, thinking of those Soul Society luxury items with very high spiritual energy content, and then suddenly spoke.

"Then, will it be more stable for the Three Realms if powerful souls and objects with powerful spiritual power are destroyed? Moreover, since everything is made of spirit particles, and spirit particles can also be transformed into souls again, then isn't everything in Soul Society built on the bones of countless people?"

Shifengyuan Yoruichi immediately looked at Li Ke, and she was silent for a moment before speaking.

"These two topics are not to be brought up. If you don't want to die, don't tell anyone else except me... Also, when the soul becomes strong enough, it can no longer decompose naturally. Instead, it will become a burden to the world."

She didn't continue speaking, because at this moment, yellow beams of light suddenly fell from the sky, and then strange creatures wearing masks fell from it and smashed heavily on the ground!

These monsters opened their mouths the moment they landed on the ground, and countless souls were sucked into their mouths with screams. They were the monsters called Xu, which were human souls transformed due to desire or obsession. They would instinctively devour all the souls around them, and were the biggest monsters that endangered the stability of the Three Realms!

Virtual!
The moment she saw Hollow, Shihouin Yoruichi rushed over without hesitation and shouted to Li Ke.

"Just go do your thing, I'll take care of this!"

It is her responsibility to kill the Hollow. Li Ke is neither the god of death nor her retainer, so there is no need for him to kill the Hollow.

Moreover, she was actually in a very bad mood. When she came to Li Ke for training, she came with the intention of venting.

Because her busy task during this period was to cover up the traces of cruel things done by those nobles and prevent the souls in Rukongai from rioting, she had a very strong reaction to what Li Ke said.

Therefore, she planned to use these suddenly appearing virtual beings as sandbags to vent her anger!

Li Ke looked at Shihouin Yoruichi who was rushing over and immediately felt that this matter was a bit strange. How could it be such a coincidence that a Hollow appeared instantly when he just approached the first girl who looked like Matsumoto Rangiku?

His intuition told him that this was definitely not a coincidence!

He even had a vague feeling that he was being arranged by someone who was much stronger than himself, just like Wang Mang and Li Ke.

And the worst thing is that the Spirit King, the creator of this world, does have the motive and history to do this!

"If I meet Aizen later...it should be that the fate of that unlucky Yin Tianzi has influenced the Soul King."

But just as Li Ke was thinking, a big tree was suddenly cut down by the shock wave generated by the battle between Shifengyuan Yoruichi and Hollow, and fell towards the frightened girl!
However, Li Ke saw more, because the big tree could not crush the girl. It was another force that made the big tree hit the girl and hit the girl's leg with a stone, making her unable to move!
Suddenly, Li Ke had no chance of luck, so he held onto the Tian Xing Jian behind him.

"Show your will, the heaven moves vigorously!"

The next moment, terrifying spiritual pressure burst out from Li Ke's body, and he arrived in front of the girl in an instant. With one sword, he cut off the fallen tree and smashed it, causing the girl, who thought she was going to die, to open her eyes wide.

But Li Ke did not stop there. Instead, he swung the sword at this moment. The sharp blade instantly tore apart the false illusion, revealing a gentle young man wearing glasses!

The moment he saw the young man, Li Ke stabbed his sword at the other's throat. No matter whether the other party was Aizen or not, the other party really wanted to kill the girl behind him, so no matter whether the other party was Aizen or not, Li Ke would kill him!
Sparks flew, and a long knife blocked Li Ke's stab. The two men looked at each other, and the next moment all the objects around them were cut off and chopped up by the rapidly swinging long knives and swords. Even a vacuum was formed around the two people where not even dust could enter.

Li Ke continued to increase his speed and strength, and used various sword techniques. The expression on the face of the young man in front of him gradually changed from astonishment and disdain to a kind of fanaticism!
Because he felt it the moment he fought with Li Ke, he felt that the person in front of him was just like himself, the kind of person who constantly wanted to break through and do something.

The fighting spirit and fighting spirit are completely different from those insects he has seen!
This kind of fierce and pure fighting spirit, this feeling of being out of tune with the world, hiding anger and dissatisfaction in the soul is too obvious.

"How interesting! There is actually someone in this world as special as me!"

Swinging the sword, with the ghost music flashing in his hand without chanting, the young man with glasses let the strong wind and lightning blow away his glasses, and directly waved the lightning in his hand towards Li Ke. Suddenly, a thunder dragon with a head as big as a truck head rushed towards Li Ke.

Li Ke didn't even look at the ghost. The moment he swung the sword and rushed towards the opponent, he just lightly pressed his palm on the head of the thunder dragon, and the thunder dragon disappeared instantly!

The young man who saw this scene couldn't help but burst into laughter. He swung his blade to block Li Ke's sword, and the fanaticism on his face became more and more obvious.

"Anti-ghosts killing each other?! You can really do it!"

This is a very high-end ghost technique. Even if you use a ghost technique that is exactly the same as your opponent's, it is a technique to make the two ghost techniques collide and cancel each other out.

Basically, it is impossible for someone who is not two levels higher to do it!

But this is only limited to mediocre people!
Because a burst of flaming blade suddenly shot out from Li Ke's hand and rushed towards the young man in front of him, but the other party just chuckled.

"Are you looking down on me?"

He regained his composure, and lightly tapped his fingers. The same flaming blade flew out instantly, just like how Li Ke solved his ghost magic, instantly offsetting Li Ke's ghost magic.

And it was precisely because he had regained his composure that he, who had originally planned to communicate more with Li Ke, wanted to move away after seeing that Shihouin Yoruichi had already dealt with most of the Hollows.

He is not ready to be exposed in front of everyone yet, so -

"Do I allow you to leave?"

Li Ke rushed to the young man's side again, forcing him to fight with him, blocking his possibility of escape. The young man also knew very well that unless he could reveal his Bankai here, it would be absolutely impossible to get rid of Li Ke's entanglement in a short time.

At this time, Li Ke also realized that there was indeed a gap between him and the young man in front of him who was most likely Aizen. The spiritual pressure in the other party's body was so huge that if he could not use Bankai, then it would be impossible for him to be stopped.

Although he already had some idea about his Bankai, there was a high probability that he could not use it now.

However, you can give it a try.

Bankai is nothing more than seeing one's true nature, knowing what one wants and one's true nature. And he knows exactly what he wants and what his true nature is, so he might as well give it a try.

So Li Ke took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the sword. The young man in front of him also sensed Li Ke's seriousness and also planned to release his Bankai.

"The terrain is Kun..."

However, just when Li Ke sensed the aura of his Bankai and was about to release it, a terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly fell from the sky, and a group of Hollows as tall as twenty stories appeared in the sky.
Before she could even let out a scream, Yoruichi Shihoin was knocked away by the new Hollow, and both of them realized one thing in an instant: if Li Ke continued to stay here and fight with the young man, then Yoruichi Shihoin would be in great danger.

The young man laughed softly, his figure began to become illusory, and a smug smile appeared on his face. He took advantage of this time to make some kind of transfer!

"It's really interesting that such bait can actually attract such a big hollow. It seems that even the sky is helping me this time."

He uttered sarcastic words and showed an unfathomable expression, intending to say more sarcastic words to Li Ke, but at the moment when he successfully retreated, Li Ke's sword blade touched the corner of his clothes!

Then, the next moment, his clothes suddenly burst! Even his gentle face burst instantly, revealing a face that looked completely different, but now full of astonishment and shock.

"Varied--"

But before he could finish his words, he disappeared in front of Li Ke, leaving only clothes on the ground!
