Restricted Death

Chapter 68 Hesitation leads to defeat
The explosion from the impact of the spear and the light hammer made the entire classroom hum with a dull sound.

When Madarame retreated, he stepped on the wooden floor and made spider-web-like cracks. Xin's brows twitched when he saw this scene. He was afraid that he would have to pay compensation!

The next moment, a visible spirit barrier suddenly spread out from the confident body, covering the entire classroom.

When Madarame saw this, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

But the spirit particle barrier just swept past him easily, and nothing else unusual happened.

"What did you do?" he demanded.

"It's nothing, just a barrier to prevent our battle from being disturbed. This is a school after all, and too much noise might attract others." Xin said, "You can release your spiritual pressure at any time now."

Upon hearing this, Madarame Ikkaku laughed and raised his hands. The next moment, a cyclone of spiritual pressure that was visible to the naked eye burst out from his body.

Since releasing his Zanpakutō, Madarame's attacks became even more wild and ferocious. Although neither of them was injured, Shin could faintly smell a scent of blood and was swept over by Madarame's spiritual pressure.

He suddenly jumped up and stabbed Xin from mid-air with a spear in his hand.

Xin easily dodged it by just slightly turning sideways.

The tip of Kizunaru's spear hit the ground, but this time it failed to cause any damage to the ground. However, Madarame Ikkaku's attention was all on Shin. Seeing that the attack missed, he quickly landed on the ground, stood firm, and raised the spear to stab again.

Kizumaru took advantage of his long weapon and launched an intensive attack, forcing Xin to a distance of two meters between him and him.

Madarame Ikkaku saw this and laughed arrogantly: "What's wrong, kid? Where's your arrogance just now?"

It seemed that Shin was forced to be unable to get close to him, but he was able to dodge Madarame Ikkaku's attacks with ease.

Madarame Ikkaku probably doesn't know Bankai yet, and even if he does, he probably wouldn't be able to use it.

He originally thought that the opponent would be a good opponent, but in fact this fighting style could not meet Xin's expectations. When facing some people with poor swordsmanship, the rough and primitive fighting style could indeed easily suppress the opponent, but in front of those with outstanding swordsmanship, it was no different from a monkey playing with a sword.

Kizumaru's thrust missed again, and Madarame felt annoyed. It seemed that he had suppressed Shin by relying on his long weapon advantage, but Shin easily avoided his attack this time, which made him feel that the other party was playing tricks on him.

Why doesn't this guy fight back?
Madarame's mind was racing, he didn't know if the opponent hadn't found the right opportunity or what. The long and fruitless attack made him hesitate whether he should change his tactics first.

But he was also afraid that he would lose the initiative if he changed his tactics at random. He was afraid of being close to Xin, and the tricky knife he had used before still made him feel scared.

But there is no advantage in continuing like this.

Four is dead!

There was a great deal of hostility in Madarame's eyes. After his stab missed, he suddenly changed from stabbing to slashing.

But just as he suddenly changed his moves, Xin suddenly blocked Kizumaru with his knife, and the next moment the blade brushed against the spear handle and quickly approached Madarame's corner.

Oops!

Madarame was shocked, the opponent had once again seized the opportunity!
In the spear form, Kizumaru lost his sword guard and was unable to stop the approaching Asahi. If this continued, Madarame Ikkaku's entire hand would probably be cut off on the spot!

But it was no use regretting it now. The knife approaching on the spear handle seemed to force him to abandon his weapon.

Madarame Ikkaku suddenly gritted his teeth and exerted force horizontally, roaring at the same time.

"Split it up, Kizumaru!"

The Kizumaru in his hand changed again, from a spear into a nunchaku. Shin took advantage of the moment when Shin lost his strength due to the change of the spear and quickly retracted the Kizumaru, trying to strangle the Kizumaru in Shin's hand.

But the idea was very good. From the moment Kizumaru changed, the knife in Shin's hand was suspended in the air. Madarame's eyes blurred and Shin in his sight looked like a ghost. He avoided the direction of Kizumaru's attack and made a precise and shallow attack between the nunchakus.

A cold light flashed in the corner of Madarame's eyes, and the dazzling edge went straight to his throat.

Whoosh!
A bone-chilling chill ran down his neck. He held a section of the Kizuna pill in each hand, frozen in place as he retreated. Shin held the Asada against his throat and smiled faintly, "Hesitation will lead to defeat, Madarame Sansei."

Madarame swallowed hard. The first time, he had caught his weakness. The second time, not only did he catch his weakness, but he also used a gorgeous move that he could never have imagined, discarding the sword and twisting his body to take the sword...

Is this really the swordsmanship taught in the Spiritual Arts Academy?

Why have I never seen this on others?
Xin slowly removed the shallow punch from his throat and said with a smile, "It seems that I was mistaken. Vice Captain Shiba gave me the wrong opponent."

Hearing this, veins popped out on Madarame's bald head, but he remained calm.

He was repeatedly restrained by the opponent. Although it was just a sparring match, he was not someone who could not afford to lose. He just snorted coldly.

What Xin said was true. After this battle, he found that the person he really wanted to compete with was a Shinigami who could flexibly use Kidō and Shunpo to fight, rather than someone like Madarame Ikkaku.

Qian Da made a sword flower in his hand, and then sheathed it accurately.

The spirit particle barrier covering the entire classroom quickly returned to him.

"Concession."

"..."

Madarame Ikkaku stood firm again, his eyes complicated, and the nunchaku in his hand returned to its shallow form.

He pondered and said, "Tachikawa Nobu, you are about to graduate, right?"

"Next year." Xin said. This semester is almost over, and next year will be his last year at the Spiritual Arts Academy.

Madarame Ikkaku didn't bother to ask why Nobu, with his strength, didn't graduate this year. Instead, he said, "Come to our 11th Division. Your swordsmanship... our 11th Division is a combat division, and it's the most suitable for you."

All the captains of the 11th Division have the title of "Kenpachi", which means the god of death with the strongest swordsmanship.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for Madarame to say that the 11th Division is the most suitable for Shin.

However, Xin said, "I'm sorry, due to some special reasons, I have already been assigned to a squadron after graduation."

Madarame Ikkaku was stunned for a moment, but then he didn't find it too strange. With Nobu's strength, it was normal for other squads to have their eyes on him early on. His own captain and vice-captain would not interfere with the annual squad recruitment. As a third-rank officer, he also didn't want to get involved, so those who joined the 11th Squadron in recent years all came voluntarily.

Even so, because the 11th Division has the reputation of being the strongest combat division, many members join the 11th Division every year, and some even have to be distributed from the list to other divisions.

Madarame thought it was a pity and asked casually, "Which division?"

"Fourth Division."

Madarame Ikkaku thought he had misheard, "What squad did you say?"

"Fourth Division."

"..."

Aysegawa Yumichika, who had been standing aside without interrupting or speaking from beginning to end, was also stunned.

The 11th Division has a strong martial spirit. Most of the Zanpakuto of the team members are of the direct attack type. They do not focus on Kidō, and some even reject people who use Kidō to fight.

For this reason, Ayasegawa Yumichika has always hidden the true ability of his Zanpakutō - the Kidō system.

However, compared to those who use Kidō to fight, the 11th Division looks down upon a certain type of people even more.

A member of the Fourth Division in charge of logistics and medical rescue!
