Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 162 Black Cat Yoruichi
After running several kilometers away from the abandoned building and out of the Mashi Ward of Karakura Town, Guan Yi and Ouyang Yu finally stopped.

Ouyang Yu was panting heavily, his eyes filled with a mix of emotions as he looked at Guan Yi.

Surprise, shock, sudden realization.

After a long while, he finally caught his breath and said with some complicated feelings, "I just felt something was strange. Why did my father squeeze me into this special training class a few days before the enrollment was over? He also repeatedly told me to get along well with my classmates and not to have any conflicts."

Thank you for saving my life, Guan Qiuwang. Speaking of which, you kept it a secret really well. If I were you, I would have been showing off long ago.

It's a golden secret pattern!

That's outrageous! In the previous round of learning, he and Zhou Ke were always subtly competing to see who was the leader among this group of students!
It turns out that the real big shots never show off and don't care about that little bit of empty fame.

As for the power that Guan Yi had just used to destroy the void that Yin Ya Rong had transformed into, he wasn't too surprised—he naturally assumed that Guan Yi had already mastered the combat methods of this secret realm in the previous round of exploration, and therefore quickly picked it up again in this round.

"...What do you plan to do next? Tell everyone the truth that Professor Yin is the hidden accomplice of the demon race? If you reveal your identity, you should be able to gain everyone's trust, and then you can spend another five years peacefully in the secret realm before everyone can leave."

"Want to leave? It's not over yet." Guan Yi shook his head: "Professor Yin isn't a demon, how could she possibly gain the complete trust of a demon? If she goes back on her word at the last minute, or even plots against that demon, wouldn't that demon die in vain?"

As an elite who had led the way in conquering the purple-level difficult secret realm, Ouyang Yu understood it immediately.

"Could it be... there are more among us?!"

Yes, there must be a backup plan.

During the time it took Guan Yi to kill Yin Ya Rong and get away from that ruined building, he had secretly made calculations. After awakening Fullbring and being able to establish a central palace in the Bleach world, his divination abilities had been greatly enhanced.

Unfortunately, he couldn't enter the inner world of the Grim Reaper. He could only confirm that the cycle of dream rebirth hadn't ended yet, but he still couldn't get a precise answer. What he got were just a few cryptic divination phrases, which surprised Guan Yi when translated.

Trapped by love.

Still 'troubled by love'!
Perhaps the results obtained last time showed that the divination indicated more than just Yin Yarong.

He thought for a moment, then said to the somewhat surprised Ouyang Yu, "Is there anyone in this training course whom you can absolutely trust? Someone who is someone that the demons might not even have in the slightest way?"

Ouyang Yu paused, somewhat hesitant.

"...Zhou Ke, I guess. Although I've always disliked him, he's the only one I've known since childhood. He could never be a demon!"

"Sure?"

"……Sure!"

Has he suffered any heartbreak in the past?

“…Huh?” Ouyang Yu was taken aback and asked, “Heartbreak? A woman? I don’t think so… I’ve never heard of that bastard ever being in a relationship…”

"Let's double-check," Guan Yi said. "If there are no problems, tell him. Besides, Guo Yan and Ye Huohuo are both trustworthy."

I might not be there at the gathering a week from now. Don't mention Professor Yin's situation. Just observe everyone's reaction after we disappear.

If nothing unusual is found, discreetly investigate which classmate has suffered heartbreak. Remember to be careful, and it's best to act together for mutual support, as those who have experienced heartbreak are potential targets of the demon race.

"...I understand, what about you?"

Ouyang Yu hesitated for a moment, seemingly wanting to ask about how to gain power in this world, as power represents a sense of security.

Guan Yi quickly replied, "Your Majesty and Meow Meow are trustworthy. If they appear before you, just follow their orders. The commotion I just caused was too great; someone's watching me. I need to leave quickly and make sure he doesn't spot you!"

The King and Meow Meow? They're still alive? Did you start conquering the secret realm in the last round?

Ouyang Yu still had questions to ask, but Guan Yi had already turned around and rushed out. After standing there for two seconds, Ouyang Yu quickly smoothed out the wrinkles on his body.

He erased the marks of being bound by ropes, then raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

'Was I targeted while using my power? Was it a local expert from this secret realm? I wonder if a conflict will break out. I'm just a hindrance. If it's discovered I'm with him, I won't be able to participate in the upcoming gatherings, and I might even cause trouble for the other students.'

He raised his arms and started running, pretending to be someone exercising in the early morning.

'Everyone on the road could be that 'expert,' so we mustn't show any unusual behavior.'

Ouyang Yu ran at a steady pace, keeping his eyes straight ahead, crossing two streets without making eye contact with any pedestrians, and unaware that a black cat was nimbly running on the wall.

...Is it Yoruichi, the shopkeeper, or the Visored Army?
The inescapable aura lock-on felt more like some kind of binding spell. Coupled with this method of concealing my aura and spiritual pressure—which I wouldn't even have detected if not for the divination—it was most likely Yoruichi's doing.

This outcome was within Guan Yi's expectations. The world of Bleach is different from One Piece. The area where the story takes place is too small, and there are too many powerful figures hidden in Karakura Town. As long as the Fullbring technique is used, it is difficult to go unnoticed, not to mention that Yin Ya Rong just made such a big commotion.

To succeed in the story, there has to be a chance encounter; Guan Yi can't remain detached from the narrative forever. Maintaining standard movements and a good breathing rhythm, Guan Yi walked briskly for several miles, and her stamina remained at the baseline.

At the same time, he was also trying out some other uses of Fullbring.

In the Fullbring arc of Bleach, Fullbring is not just about using tools closely linked to oneself. Fullbringers can also use the power of Fullbring to do other things.

For example, giving water a soul, allowing it to jump directly from the cup into your mouth.

Another example is giving the ground beneath your feet a soul.

While running and experimenting, Guan Yi found this feeling, attaching the perfect light to the ground beneath his feet, allowing the ground, now imbued with a soul, to actively give him a counterforce.

Swah——

It's like the shave in the One Piece world, except one involves rapidly stomping the ground with both feet, while the other involves the ground rapidly bouncing off his feet. In the next instant, Guan Yi moved twenty meters as if he had teleported!

With a slight sway, his martial arts master's foundation allowed him to adapt in the next second, and he moved at high speed with fluid movements, leaving only afterimages in the air.

Half a minute later, the black cat that had been chasing after them stopped in the open space and looked around.

"Instantaneous movement? No, it doesn't seem like it. But it looks like it spotted me. No wonder it was able to clear out that level of Hollows so quickly. It's quite capable."

Whoosh—she too began to teleport.

……

Guan Yi calls this method of rapid movement by giving the ground a soul "Full-Time Step".

Completely traversing the present step consumes a lot of physical strength, or rather, a lot of spiritual power. After all, Guan Yi needs to constantly draw upon his own spiritual pressure to imbue the small patch of ground beneath his feet with soul.

After traveling more than ten kilometers, he found a corner of an alleyway, feeling somewhat tired, and sat down to rest.

Holding the compass in his hand, he gently turned it, trying to predict the 'good or bad' outcome, but failed to get an accurate result.

Divination should only be used as a supplementary tool, especially when it involves oneself. The resulting changes are countless, and every action or even word one takes will alter the future course of events.

He closed his eyes and rested for about ten seconds.

At one moment, his ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly sat up straight, looking warily at the corner of the wall, gripping the compass tightly in his hand.

When a completely black cat with amber eyes came out, Guan Yi seemed to be slightly taken aback, then breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down.

"It's a cat! It startled me. Did I really shake it off?" Guan Yi murmured softly, only he could hear, and waved to the black cat.

"Sniff sniff sniff, come here. How dare you scare me! Come here and spank me!" he called to the black cat.

The black cat slowly approached with its cat-like gait, then suddenly uttered a low, husky male voice, saying, "Kid, this is extremely impolite. What do you mean by calling a cat like you would a dog?"

Guan Yi blinked blankly, and the next moment, he showed a look of utter shock.

"The cat...the cat talked again?! Are all the cats in Karakura Town able to talk?!"

"Huh? Again?" Yoruichi stopped and asked in surprise.

Guan Yi gripped the compass, his face wary, and said in a deep voice, "Oh, so it's still you. You've changed cats, keeping an eye on me? I've said it before, I don't want to join any Fullbringer organization!"

"It really is Fullbring." Yoruichi murmured.

Guan Yi then adopted a look of full vigilance, ready to fight Yoruichi at any moment.
