Restricted Death

Chapter 108: Aoka is invulnerable! Hitsugaya shines!
The scale of this exchange conference was not actually that grand. Although there was a month of preparation time, it still looked like a makeshift team.

It was only thanks to the presence of all the captains that it seemed so important.

At this moment, Qinglu, who was among the ordinary team members, was very nervous. He would represent the Fourth Division this time. Thinking of the instructions in the letter before, he was not sure if he could do it well.

Until Tohru Yuune in the center of the venue officially announced the start of the competition in the lower field.

"Which team member is willing to serve as the defender?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many members of the lower class immediately showed an eagerness to try.

Of course, if no one volunteers to be the first to defend the title, there is also a drawing of lots to decide.

Qinglu gritted his teeth and was the first to stand up from the crowd.

As he stood up, countless people were surprised, and the contestants from the 11th Team who were originally planning to stand up sat back down.

The captains also looked at each other in confusion.

Someone couldn't help but speak to Unohana Retsu: "Captain Unohana, the people from Division 4 are truly courageous this time!"

Unohana Retsu just smiled and said nothing. To be honest, she didn't know much about the arrangements for the Fourth Division in this competition, so she left it entirely to Nobuo.

She only remembered that Qinglu was a newcomer who graduated at the same time as Nobuyuki and joined the Fourth Division, and had a good relationship with Nobuyuki.

The first person defending the ring will face the challenge of the other twelve people in their prime, which is also the most difficult situation.

Qinglu felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he felt even more pressured.

But having reached this point, it was impossible to turn back, and I could only walk towards the center of the venue.

"I come!"

As Qinglu stood still, another person stood up.

He is a member of the 11th Division. He had originally planned to be the first to defend the ring, but when he saw that Qinglu got there first, he naturally felt dissatisfied.

Qinglu calmed down and put his hand on the waist.

The letter had been given to him in advance.

You can lose, but you must win in the first round.

The problem is that if he loses, the champion will be replaced, which means he cannot leave the stage until the target comes on stage.

The so-called inferior field was just a competition between ordinary team members. As someone who had just graduated from the Spiritual Arts Academy, he naturally could not be a match for others.

Xin did something to him.

Qinglu and the member of the 11th Division first bowed to each other. There was silence at the scene, and everyone focused their attention on the two people on the field. What everyone was concerned about was what kind of ability this member of the 4th Division who dared to be the first to go on stage to defend the ring had.

After the formalities, the member of the 11th Division immediately attacked Qinglu with a knife. Qinglu also held the knife in both hands and took a defensive posture. As soon as the two of them fought, Qinglu was instantly at a disadvantage and was suppressed by the opponent throughout the whole process.

This situation immediately disappointed many people. The two fought for only a dozen rounds. The member of the 11th Squadron used a knife to shake off the sword in Qinglu's hand and suddenly stabbed Qinglu in the chest. Qinglu dodged in a hurry, but the opponent's knife still cut through his armpit and ribs.

The next moment, the expressions of the people in the captain's seat changed slightly.

Qinglu dodged to the side in panic, and subconsciously reached out to touch the place where he had been cut by the knife, but found that even his clothes were not torn.

He couldn't help but be slightly distracted, as he had clearly felt the force of the opponent's light blow pressing on his body.

The member of the 11th Division didn't think too much about it. He rushed forward again and kicked Qinglu hard, causing Qinglu to stagger back a few steps. After he stood still, he found that it didn't hurt at all.

In fact, there is no feeling of tiredness.

It seems that what the letter said is true...

Qinglu suddenly thought of this, and a lot of confidence appeared in his eyes.

He clenched his fists tightly and suddenly launched an attack on the opponent. Although he was not as skilled as the opponent in fighting skills, the opponent could not cause any harm to him as they continued to fight.

Qinglu felt that his physical strength was always abundant. After fighting for a few minutes, he finally found an opportunity. He used a binding technique to control the opponent, then stepped forward and hit Qian across the opponent's shoulders, ending the competition.

And this result is really unexpected.

Qinglu's performance was nothing special, and he was at a disadvantage throughout the whole process, but he was like an indestructible cockroach. No matter what kind of attack he suffered, he could still stand up and fight.

After Kotetsu Yuune announced that the result of the first match was that of the 4th Division's Aoka, and that Aoka would continue to defend the match, Kyoraku Shunsui on the captain's side couldn't help but say, "That's really... unexpected."

Many captains were staring at the green deer in the field, thinking deeply.

"Is this guy an indestructible body?" The captain of the 12th Division, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, couldn't help but speak. His voice was thin and a little hoarse, and his appearance was even more peculiar. He wore a white mask on his head and his face was painted with strange oil paint.

"I'm really curious, Captain Unohana, can we have him visit our 12th Division afterward?"

Unohana Retsu smiled and said, "I'm afraid he doesn't have the time. The Fourth Division is very busy on weekdays."

Kuroda Mayuri gave a sinister laugh and said, "There's always a chance."

Qinglu, who was in the center of the field, felt more confident after winning and turned his gaze to the other contestants.

The next person to come on stage was a member of the Seventh Division. With confidence, Qinglu was no longer so timid in fighting. Instead, he kept launching offensives and completely ignored the attacks of his opponent.

This put the member of Team 7 at a disadvantage.

Although Qinglu is a new Shinigami, he is an outstanding graduate of the Spiritual Arts Academy after all, and the gap between the ordinary members of Team 13 is not that big. The strength of those who come to participate in the competition may be almost the same as that of Xi Guan, but for the invulnerable Qinglu, they are not invincible.

Qinglu discovered that when he practiced the ghost way, he did not consume any of his own spiritual pressure.

The second battle ended faster than the first. The member of Team 7 was finally hit by a Kidō from Aoka and fell to the ground injured.

"Is this person really not the chief officer?" Captain Shiba Isshin of the 10th Division couldn't help but ask.

Second Division Captain Soi Fong said, "Judging from his clumsy fighting style, he can't possibly be the Chief Officer. He must be relying on some special means."

Everyone turned their eyes to Unohana Retsu, hoping that she could solve their doubts.

Unohana Retsu just smiled and said nothing, but he glanced at Xin who was sitting behind him.

This reaction also made many captains present have the same idea in their minds: the Fourth Division is really well prepared this time.

It is hard to say who will have the last laugh in this competition.

Qinglu continued to defend the ring.

Game three.

The one who came on the field was a member of the Sixth Division, who was also an acquaintance of Aoka, Kasumigaoji Kogoro.

Although this person graduated only one year earlier than Qinglu, he performed excellently in the team and was only one step away from becoming the chief officer.

When Qinglu saw the other person, his originally relaxed heart suddenly tensed up again.

coming!

"I never thought you'd have such strength. It seems you've improved a lot following that guy." Kasumigaoji Kogoro looked at Aoka and spoke slowly. Aoka chuckled dryly, "It's been a long time since we last met, Vice President."

Kogoro looked at him and said, "I'm curious how you can get knocked down and stand up again and again. Could it be that you have awakened your Zanpakutō?"

Qinglu said, "Vice President, you can find out the specific situation by trying it yourself."

The battle between the two is about to break out.

Qinglu remembered the instructions in the letter.

Don't rush to end the fight, just beat the opponent to death!
This is a technical job!

The strength displayed by Guang Goro was stronger than the previous two people, and he had been watching the battle from below, so he seemed to have figured out Qinglu's fighting style. During the fight between the two, not only did he have the upper hand throughout, but he also kept trying to use the binding technique to trap Qinglu.

This made Qinglu break out in a cold sweat instantly. If the other party succeeded, he would have to lose even if he didn't want to.

Fortunately, the spiritual pressure in Kogoro's body was not enough to support him to continue to perform ghost attacks. He gave up after being dodged by Qinglu twice.

However, Qinglu was always full of energy. After the two fought for a few minutes, Kogoro also showed signs of fatigue uncontrollably. He cursed in his heart, "Isn't this guy tired at all? The previous battle must have consumed a lot of his physical strength."

Qinglu was not in a hurry to attack. He fought in a roundabout way and found the right opportunity to punch the opponent in the face.

Looking at Guang Goro staggering and half-kneeling on the ground, Qinglu was in a good mood.

He thought to himself: You were so arrogant when you were in the Spiritual Arts Academy before, and I have disliked you for a long time!

He immediately stopped his shallow attack and rushed forward, punching and kicking Guangwulang, who had little ability to resist, fiercely, and only stopped when he beat him to the point of being on the verge of death.

This battle also stunned everyone present.

"Do these two have any personal grudges against each other?" Kyoraku Shunsui couldn't help but ask.

Ise Nanao did have information on all the participants in this competition and said, "They were all members of the student council when they were at the Spiritual Arts Academy. Kasumigaoji Kogoro was even the vice president of the student council."

Kyoraku Shunsui secretly glanced at Kuchiki Byakuya beside him and found that his face was extremely cold at the moment, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Kasumigaoji Kogoro was carried away by members of the Fourth Division and sent for treatment.

Qinglu won three games in a row and continued to be the champion, which made the members of the fourth team who were watching the game around them very excited.

In the fourth match, the members of the Tenth Division took the stage.

Hitsugaya Toshiro.

He was thin, with a long sword on his back, and his youthful appearance made him stand out among the crowd.

Many people recognized him, a genius who graduated from the Spiritual Arts Academy in just one year.

Aoka's attitude towards him also became much warmer, and he greeted him with a smile: "Hitsugaya, long time no see."

Hitsugaya just nodded slightly, then drew his Zanpakuto from behind.

"Sit upright in the frosty sky, Hyōrinmaru!"

The smile on Qinglu's face suddenly stopped. Suddenly, a gust of snow-white cold air hit his face. It was so fast that there was no way to avoid it. The whole person was frozen in place in an instant and turned into an ice sculpture.

Qinglu, who had won three games in a row, was frozen there after just one encounter.

This sudden change in style left many people feeling a little lost, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.

The sparring competition in the lower-level field was, after all, just a small fight between a group of ordinary team members, but the appearance of Hitsugaya Toshiro gave countless people a surprise.

Matsumoto Rangiku, who was sitting in the vice-captain's seat, couldn't help but shout out excitedly, "Well done, Toushirou! I'll reward you nicely later!"

Hitsugaya: "..."

He showed a helpless look on his face and looked at Hu Che Yong Yin: "Is it over?"

Kotetsu Yuune suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Aoka who was frozen there, and confirmed that he had no ability to break free. Then he announced that the winner of the second match was Hitsugaya Toshiro from the Tenth Division, and Hitsugaya would become the new champion.

Zhiba Kaiyan, who was also sitting in the vice-captain's seat, beat his chest and sighed.

Such a genius had the opportunity to join their 13th Division!
He looked at the letter not far away with great resentment, thinking in his heart that this guy must have been seduced by that woman Matsumoto!

Xin also felt a surge of malice, but he didn't feel sorry when he saw Qinglu being carried away. His goal had been achieved.

However, continuously using the power of the Zanpakuto at this distance consumes a lot of spiritual pressure.

The reason why Qinglu is invulnerable to swords and guns is that Shin has used the "stagnation" ability of his Zanpakuto on him. The reason why Qinglu can perform Kidō continuously without consuming spiritual pressure is because he has been consuming Shin's spiritual pressure.

It has been done well enough. Hitsugaya Toshiro's strength is far superior to these people and he is far ahead. There is nothing we can do about it.

Such a strong person has not yet been appointed as the chief officer in the Tenth Division, but was picked up by the Tenth Division.

"Is that Hyourinmaru? It's amazing." Aizen Sosuke exclaimed.

At this moment, Shiba Isshin couldn't stop smiling.

Even the captain-general, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, looked at Hitsugaya thoughtfully.

In the following competition, Hitsugaya showed his overwhelming strength and did not lose a single match. The last person to take the stage was Hisagi Shuhei from the 9th Division.

Shuhei fought with the opponent for many rounds, but in the end, Shuhei, who had not yet awakened his Zanpakuto, was defeated by Hitsugaya Toshiro.

Xin couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Xiubing, who looked a little distraught after losing.

Xiubing had always worked very hard when he was in the Spiritual Arts Academy, but these six years of hard work were not worth one year of work for others. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Xiubing.

Including the members of the 11th and 7th Divisions who later returned to the game, Hitsugaya Toshiro won a total of eleven games. Because Kasumigaoji Kogoro of the 6th Division was seriously injured, Hitsugaya won one more game.

In the first round of competition, Hitsugaya Toushirou won the championship.

After resting for an hour.

The second round of competition began. At this point, many people were no longer in their peak condition.

With the help of others, Qinglu was also rescued from the ice sculpture. Thanks to Nobu's Zanpakuto ability, he was not seriously injured.

But Xin later withdrew his power from him, causing Qinglu to quickly lose the next match.

This made many people feel strange and wondered why Qinglu's performance was so different before and after.

In the end, it took almost a whole day.

The results of the lower-level matches are also out.

Hitsugaya Toushirou is first, and Aoka is in the middle because he has won three games before.

Due to a serious injury, Kasumigaoji Kogoro was declared the loser in all twelve matches.

At the captain's seat, Kuchiki Byakuya's expression was frighteningly cold.
