Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 161 Awakening!

"That's amazing, they actually found this place."

Looking at Guan Yi, Yin Yarong exclaimed, "I'm pretty sure it was only Ouyang Yu who was following me. You actually have divination skills?"

'The white tiger runs rampant, swords clash and blood flows.'

This is an inauspicious omen.

Guan Yi put the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Divine Compass back into his pocket, strode into the abandoned building, and walked briskly towards Yin Yarong.

“You are a true genius. In my forty years of teaching, I have never seen many like you. You mastered the Secret Rune Symbiosis Technique in an instant and were able to conquer a legendary gold-level secret realm on your own without any training.”

Yin Yarong said, "But when you were conquering that golden secret realm, there must have been people who could have lived peacefully but died because of you, right? With the complete conquest of the secret realm and the fact that it is no longer reset, these people have lost their chance to survive forever."

Yes, there are many.

"As I mentioned in class, the demons are also conquering secret realms, just like us. The difference is that they are blatant invaders, willing to destroy to turn the secret realms into their own territory, while we humans, after conquering the secret realms, mostly cooperate with them for mutual benefit."

But over the past forty years, I have often wondered, what does our arrival really mean for the secret realm? Do the people living in the secret realm truly want us to come? Their original lives, even their destinies, have been interfered with by us, leading them down an unknown path, with no choice whatsoever.

How are we different from the demons? We're just forcing the secret realm to change according to our ideas.

After much thought... the only difference is that the demons are more straightforward, while we are hypocritical.

"Perhaps, as Ouyang said, I have fallen into demonic possession. When I was worried that you would enter this secret realm, the demons found me, and I agreed to cooperate without thinking."

Are we no different from the demons, forcing the secret realm to change according to our ideas? Ouyang Yu was in a daze, shocked by Guan Yi's possession of golden secret runes and stunned by Yin Yarong's words.

bang——

The next instant, when the heavy thud erupted, he opened his eyes in even greater astonishment.

Guan Yi, who had approached, did not respond to Yin Yarong's words. Instead, he took a step forward and punched her hard in the throat!
Yin Yarong was sent flying with a thud!
Are they really going to take such drastic measures right away?!
Regardless of whether they are a martial artist with secret patterns in the outside world, they will become ordinary people after entering the secret realm. Ignoring the strength of the soul, Yin Yarong is now essentially just an old lady in her sixties.

That kind of punch would kill her!
Sure enough, her throat was broken by a punch, and Yin Yarong fell to the ground, immediately entering her final moments. Her old face was completely contorted with wrinkles as she stared at Guan Yi in agony.

At this moment, Guan Yi bowed slightly to Yin Yarong and said, "Professor Yin, thank you for your guidance over the past five years. In closing, I would like to offer you a piece of advice: 'Only mediocre people trouble themselves.'"

We explorers have disrupted life in the hidden realms and even taken many lives, but many more will have a future, a changed destiny, and be freed from an endless cycle because of us.

"Perhaps, I have these troubles simply because I am an 'ordinary person'. I have too many thoughts, and I am good at lying. I am neither a human nor a demon. I am ashamed of my race, and I am even more sorry to you and the children who were killed by my momentary lapse of judgment."

Yin Yarong sighed. With her throat shattered, she was naturally unable to make a sound, or rather, she had already died the moment Guan Yi spoke!

The one speaking was her spirit.

Just two steps away from the corpse, her spirit shook her head in agony. The causal chains connecting her to her body were decaying as if corroded by acid, tearing at her heart!

Ouyang Yu's soul was not strong enough; he could only vaguely see some of it, but he could clearly sense it.

Something terrifying was happening, and his soul trembled with a sense of oppression.

"Guan, the Queen of Balls, she's turning into that monster called Void!"

"I know," Guan Yi said solemnly.

Having visited the Mysterious Realm of Death too many times and constantly influenced by Ichigo Kurosaki, Yin Yarong's soul strength is already quite high, completely different from the Hollow that Meow Meow lured over before and was shattered by his fist!
Under the burst of spiritual pressure, Guan Yi felt a tightness in his chest. He slowly raised his hand and clenched the compass he had put in his pocket.

This is something that can't be won with fists.

"This is the last time, Long Gui! This is my final effort to delay the discovery and conquest of your secret realm!"

In her roar, Yin Yarong gradually lost the gentle and rational demeanor she had been before. Her face and features twisted and melted in extreme pain, as if an invisible force was kneading clay.

Her body swelled, and bone protruded from under her skin like wildly growing coral, quickly covering her entire face and eventually solidifying into a pale, expressionless mask.

The causal chains shattered with a crack, corroding a huge hole in her chest! Accompanied by a spiritual pressure that made the air tremble, Yin Yarong, now in her ethereal form, lashed out with her claws at Guan Yi and Ouyang Yu!

Rumble— ...

At the same time, not far from here, at a karate dojo, Ryuki Arisawa, who was practicing karate, suddenly felt a pang of fear, clutching his chest and looking toward the direction of the ruined buildings.

Beside her, Ichigo Kurosaki had noticed earlier and stared in astonishment in that direction.

What is this feeling...?
It feels so uncomfortable, what's that there?!

At Urahara Shop, Kisuke Urahara narrowed his small eyes slightly and murmured, "Strange, is this another Aizen experiment? How come a Hollow with this level of spiritual pressure has appeared in the human world without any warning?"

"Manager, aren't we going to go take a look?" Wo Ling Tie Zhai asked in a deep voice.

Kisuke Urahara glanced at the distant wall: "Yoruichi-san has already gone... Hmm? And this is it?"

Soul Society, Spirit Particle Monitoring Bureau.

The piercing alarm continued to ring out, and the team member on duty shouted in terror, "Quickly, report to the captain! In the present world, a Hollow's spiritual pressure has appeared in the Karakura Town area, suspected to be a Great Hollow, with... with a sixth-level spiritual power!"

"Sixth-rank Spirit Might?!"

It should be noted that a sixth-rank Spirit Might is already at the level of most third or fourth seats in the Gotei 13, and even being slightly better in other aspects can serve as a basic requirement for promotion to vice-captain.

The team members stationed in the present world are simply not capable of matching this level of Hollow. How could a Hollow of this caliber suddenly appear in the present world?!
If we don't respond quickly, the number of casualties could be far beyond our wildest imagination!

……

Karakura Town, in the ruins of buildings.

When Yin Yarong's phantom claws fell, Ouyang Yu, whose hands and feet were still bound, had already resigned himself to death. He only hoped that he could escape after becoming a spirit.

The secret realm has only been reset for a day. Regardless of whether Guan Qiuwang has golden runes or not, he will be powerless against this bug-exploiting power.

But unexpectedly, the pain did not come to him as expected.

When he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw that the compass held by Guan Yi in front of him was emitting a strange light, and above his head, there was a golden energy shield that blocked Xu's attack!
'Divine Plate - Chief Symbol.'

'Success! This was quite a risky move. I remember Fullbring was related to the Soul King's body fragments, and it actually awakened successfully. If the King had lied to me, I would have had no choice but to become a spirit myself to fight back, and then go to Soul Society.'

Guan Yi had made two preparations, and this outcome was naturally the best! He gripped the compass tightly, and the radiance of his Fullbringing technique emanated from around it, causing the surrounding spiritual particles to obey Guan Yi's commands!

"My heart is the shaft, and my divine mechanism is the spokes."

"Empress, take your place!"

A low shout, though not resounding across the heavens, resonated deep within his soul! Centered on him, an invisible 'domain' that only he could clearly perceive suddenly unfolded! The Bagua symbols on the compass came to life, spinning and expanding rapidly, instantly covering an area of ​​a hundred meters in radius!
Within this domain, the direction of the wind, the flow of spiritual particles, and even the refraction of light are all incorporated into his perception and control.

It's clearer than Under One Person!
Click——click——

Before his eyes, Yin Yarong's half-mask, which had been fading into nothingness, gradually cracked. It seemed that Guan Yi had resisted the stimulation of its attack and was about to regain his senses and gain even greater power!

Guan Yi took a step forward and raised his arm.

"Li Zi·Explosive Flame."

The surrounding spiritual particles rapidly converged into his palm, condensing into a blazing and dangerous fireball. Without any pre-cast animation or incantation, he condensed and released a power akin to the 31st Hadō, the Crimson Fire Cannon, that a Shinigami could wield.

It crashed down on Yin Yarong's body with a loud thud.

Then there was more, just like when they attacked Zhang Zhiwei in Under One Person, more than a dozen spells engulfed and covered her, erasing the void she had transformed into before Yin Yarong regained her senses!

'His strength isn't weak, but he still needs more practice; he doesn't unleash it as smoothly as someone below the level of a top-tier player.'

Guan Yixin murmured, then turned around and quickly untied the dumbfounded Ouyang Yu: "This place is not safe to stay for long. Let's leave first, and then we can talk about other things."
