Infinite Chimera Creation

Therefore, unlike the Hōgyoku they created using only Hollows and Shinigami as raw materials, which can break the boundaries between Hollows and Shinigami and fuse the characteristics of both into one, I created the Royal Jewel, which uses Hollows, Shinigami, humans, and Sinners as raw materials and can break the boundaries between these four types, fusing them into one.

Seeing that Wang Yu remained unchanged, Yuan Yuan's expression turned slightly cold, and he tightened his grip on the bead slightly.

“Little guy, how long are you going to keep playing dead? With the number of soul fragments used to create you, even a stone should have a rudimentary soul by now.”

Seeing that Wang Yu still showed no reaction and seemed determined to play dead, Yuan Yuan's expression turned icy.

"Little guy, do you really think I'm like those useless trash, unable to find a way to completely destroy you? As someone who works on your soul, you should be able to sense the devouring element in my soul's properties. Let me tell you bluntly, you don't need to be fully awakened; just one-third awakened is enough for me to completely devour and digest you."

"Since I have the power to create you, I also have the power to destroy you."

Finally, the black pearl broke its silence. After a clear hum, the little thing that Yuan Yuan called Wang Yu seemed to be throwing a tantrum, rolling around in Yuan Yuan's palm and clearly radiating an unhappy emotion, as if dissatisfied with Yuan Yuan's unconventional behavior.

Just as Yuan Yuan said, Wang Yu had already developed a rudimentary soul and could engage in basic thought. If he weren't only capable of thinking but also speech, Wang Yu would definitely roar like this: "Shouldn't you normally demonstrate your power, and if you're strong enough, then I'll choose to submit to you? Why are you threatening me right away?"

"Don't be upset, little guy. I'm different from those natives. I'll be traveling between different worlds in the future. I can collect more alien souls to help you continue to evolve."

This kind of good thing is something no one but me could do.

The rolling jade suddenly stopped, and after a while, it flashed with an eerie light. In this light, the black pearl turned into a strange white, and the projected sea disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Wang Yu's clearly submissive attitude, Yuan Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and he nodded in satisfaction.

However, just as Yuan Yuan was about to continue his conversation with Wang Yu, his expression suddenly changed, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Yuan Yuan put the black jade into his pocket, his expression turning cold once more.

“Tell West and the others to come to hell to see me in three days. By then, my seat will be full.”

Stepping into the crack in front of him, Yuan Yuan disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving behind a group of people who were completely bewildered by his inexplicable conversation with Wang Yu.

Reappearing in the lobby of the Soul Society Research Institute, Yuan Yuan's eyes flashed with displeasure. Before leaving, he had left a group of modified rats around the institute.

These modified rats are extremely sensitive to spiritual pressure; they will die instantly if anything with strong spiritual pressure appears near them.

Just now, Yuan Yuan clearly felt that the spiritual power he left in those rats had disappeared, which meant that the rats were dead. Obviously, someone with powerful spiritual power was approaching the research institute.

Once again, Yuan Yuan tied the black cloth over his eyes, covering his cold, snake-like pupils, and headed towards the direction from which the spiritual energy was emanating.

"Kyoraku Shunsui, what brings you here? If my memory serves me right, this Fourth Research Institute prohibits anyone from entering without permission. Do you think you're not among 'everyone'?"

Kyoraku Shunsui habitually ruffled his hair, seemingly oblivious to the sarcasm in Yuan Yuan's words, his face still bearing that frivolous smile.

"Don't be so hostile, Yuan Jun. I'm just here to deliver some new student information to you. After all, those new students are about to start learning the Ghost Path. As the teacher in charge of teaching the Ghost Path, you should at least get to know your students before the course starts. Even just knowing their names is better than knowing nothing at all."

Kyoraku Shunsui looked at Yuan Yuan's furrowed brows and couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, the task of delivering information was usually handled by the head officer or the deputy captain, but considering Yuan Yuan's personality, and in order to avoid having to recruit a deputy captain again, Kyoraku Shunsui had no choice but to make the trip himself.

Seeing that Yuan Yuan had no intention of using force to drive them away, Kyoraku Shunsui quickly handed the documents in his hand to Yuan Yuan.

Yuan Yuan did not take the documents handed to him by Kyoraku Shunsui. Instead, he frowned and spoke in a cold voice.

"It's too troublesome to use spiritual power to perceive the words on the paper. Just tell me who has high talent and needs special training."

"Alright, then just listen to what I have to say. The three known geniuses we need to be wary of are Hirako Shinji, Aikawa Rao, and Kunan Shiro. As for whether there are any hidden geniuses, I have no idea."

Chapter Sixty: Idiot

The Shinigami Academy, the only Shinigami academy in Soul Society, upholds the beliefs left behind by a certain deceased old man and strives to provide students with the best learning environment so that they can receive the best education.

This belief led Mao to continuously expand his territory, eventually making it larger than most other squads.

Here, all kinds of ordinary and advanced venues are available. Of course, the advanced venues are for the top-level students, also known as the gifted students. Ordinary students should just entertain themselves in the ordinary venues.

Among these high-level venues, besides the central library which is only accessible to captain-level figures, there is a library with the largest and most comprehensive collection of books, allowing gifted students to selectively learn knowledge according to their own preferences.

There is a huge kendo dojo comparable to the 11th Division, where Class A students who love swordsmanship can bring their friends and have a hot-blooded battle with sweat flying without worrying about being disturbed.

There is a Shunpo training ground with complex and diverse terrain, which is similar to that of the Second Division of the Mobile Suit Gundam. Students who aspire to become a "Shunpo" type of strongman can experience various terrains and master the skills to exert speed in any situation.

Of course, with these places, there would also be training grounds for Kido. The Kido Experiment Ground is built entirely of Killing Stone, the strongest material among high-yield materials. It is filled with various human and phantom statues made of the same material, marked with vital points, for students to practice on. According to the school, these statues are strong enough to withstand attacks from Kido of up to level 50.

The Fifty Ghost Paths, aside from those once-in-a-century geniuses, are roughly the limit that ordinary Class A students can reach before graduation.

But today, this experimental site, which is said to be able to withstand any student's full-force practice, was almost destroyed.

The student who performed this extraordinary act was completely unaware of his actions, rolling around on the ground while shouting loudly.

"Teacher is an idiot, an idiot! He already said he's not good at Kido, but he still forced him to use it. He has enough physical skills, you bald guy, an idiot, an idiot."

Veins bulged on Yuan Yuan's forehead, and his eyes twitched beneath the black cloth. He rubbed his temples hard, suppressing the urge to beat this idiot and shove him into the ground. He spoke in a cold voice, concealing his anger.

"Hirako Shinji, if you don't want to be blamed, you'd better shut that idiot up."

Hirako Shinji, who had been watching the spectacle from the sidelines, was taken aback. His gloating expression froze on his face. Although six months of interaction had given him some understanding of this new Kido teacher, and he knew that the other party was someone who wouldn't be polite even to the Captain-Commander, he still hadn't expected that Yuan Yuan would make no attempt to hide his feelings and directly use the word "misplaced anger."

Unable to speak aloud, and only able to complain about Yuan Yuan's domineering ways in his heart, Hirako Shinji did not hesitate. He took a few steps forward and punched Kunan Shiro on the head.

"Shut up, I don't want to be punished because of you."

Hirako Mako knew how strange Kunan Shiro's thought process was. In order not to be drawn into her rhythm and end up becoming a fool herself, it was better to communicate with her directly through actions.

Just as Hirako Shinji was demonstrating to Kunan Shiro not to court death, Yuan Yuan was trying his best to calm himself down.

Since there weren't any new research projects recently and he had some free time, Yuan Yuan decided to try being a teacher. So he didn't add any new members to the weapon race and instead focused on being a good teacher.

After all, given Yuan Yuan's personality, once he makes up his mind to do something, even if it's just a spur-of-the-moment decision, he will see it through to the end.

However, to his surprise, while teaching other students was fine—after all, with his knowledge, teaching students was quite simple—problems arose when it came to the genius student, Kunan Shiro, whom Kyoraku Shunsui had specifically mentioned.

Jiu Nanbai, a genius student, is a girl whose thought process is completely different from ordinary people. She is rare in that she can ignore Yuan Yuan's aura and can throw tantrums on the ground regardless of the occasion. Once, she rolled around in Yuan Yuan's class because she was hungry, demanding that get out of class end early so she could go eat. After being knocked unconscious by Yuan Yuan and stuffed into the wall, she still did not change her ways and was keen to test Yuan Yuan's patience in various ways.

Kunan Shiro, Hirako Shinji, and Aikawa Rao, the three genius students specifically mentioned by Kyoraku Shunsui, were all students in the first-year Class A. Logically, first-year students should only be learning basic theories of Kido, with their focus still on training their spiritual power. Even in the top-tier genius class, they would at most learn trick-level Kido techniques such as [Hado I, Ryu] and [Bakudo I, Sei].

However, because of the presence of these three people, Yuan Yuan used an extremely fast but also very detailed and easy-to-understand method to finish teaching all the theoretical knowledge of the past two years within half a year. Then he took these students to the Ghost Path training ground and asked them to successfully use the Ghost Path based on what they had learned in the past six months.

For ordinary students, Yuan Yuan's requirements were simply a level 10 or higher for Breaking the Dao and a level 15 or higher for Binding the Dao. However, for the three geniuses, Yuan Yuan's requirements were naturally much higher, reaching a level 30 or higher for Breaking the Dao and a level 35 or higher for Binding the Dao.

Leaving aside the ordinary students, all three geniuses—whether it was Aikawa Rao, who usually acted all muscle and brains, or Hirako Shinji, who constantly complained about how troublesome things were—did it all with ease. Although they used the simplest techniques, [Hado 31, Red Fire Cannon] and [Bakudo 37, Tsuruyama Crystal], they still managed to complete the mission.

But when it was Jiu Nanbai's turn, this usually overly energetic girl, she became unusually timid, repeatedly saying that she wasn't good at the Ghost Path and refused to do anything. It wasn't until Yuan Yuan threatened her with "I'll stuff you inside a wall for a month and feed you your most hated natto every day" that the girl finally reluctantly and awkwardly stepped onto the Ghost Path firing position with a timidity that she probably wouldn't even show on her wedding day.

Although the voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, Yuan Yuan still judged that Jiu Nanbai's incantation was not problematic. Although it was too rigid and lacked personal characteristics, it was still considered decent.

But even with such a standard incantation, this idiot still managed to create an unexpected situation.

With the aid of incantations, users could control the amount of spiritual power they used and unleash a standard basketball-sized red fire cannon with just a little attention.

However, even after reciting the incantation completely, Jiu Nanbai still couldn't control her spiritual power. She used up all her spiritual power, creating a fireball the size of four people. Instead of launching it, she let the fireball explode in her palm.

If Yuan Yuan hadn't used his spiritual power to control the explosion's range in time, this explosion, which was almost like a self-destruction, would have definitely turned all these first-year rookies into spiritual particles.

Even under such circumstances, Jiu Nanbai still dared to roll around on the ground and say, "The teacher is an idiot." It's a wonder that she didn't collapse from exhaustion of spiritual energy and still had the strength to roll around on the ground and shout loudly.

Rubbing his temples, Yuan Yuan spoke with absolute certainty.

"As expected, Jiu Nanbai, you're such an idiot."

Chapter Sixty-One: Who Am I?

What's the best way to deal with an idiot? The answer is,

Throw her to another idiot.

Watching Jiu Nanbai and Luo Luo acting strangely, talking about things that had nothing to do with each other, yet still managing to chat with great enthusiasm, Yuan Yuan felt more and more that his decision was correct.

This kind of idiot needs to be dealt with by someone with extensive experience in dealing with idiots.

The only thing that frustrated Yuan Yuan was that Jiu Nanbai, whom he couldn't teach no matter how hard he tried, easily mastered all the ghost arts he had ever learned after discussing with Luo Luo what kind of candy tasted good and how to eat it.

After dealing with the problem of Jiu Nanbai, who couldn't be communicated with in a human way and could only be communicated with through fists, Yuan Yuan's path as a teacher went smoothly.

While the characters—Aikawa Rao, a muscle-bound genius who runs around wielding a spiked club, and Hirako Mako, who constantly complains about being bored and claims every girl she meets is her first love—are somewhat unpleasant, their ability to communicate through fists and make it clear to each other that there are certain things that can't be discussed openly don't pose a real problem.

Given that yesterday, Hirako Shinji, that brainless, forgetful fellow, complained again in Kido class about how boring and troublesome Kido was, and wanted to learn the relatively simpler Hakuda (white-handed fighting), Yuan Yuan specially hired an assistant teacher to educate him on how wonderful it was to be able to learn Kido.

"So you're the little brat Lord Yuan Yuan was talking about? You really have a face that makes you want to kick it."

Despite looking younger than Hirako Shinji, his high-pitched voice at the end of every sentence and his smug expression always give the impression that "this guy is a nasty old man looking to take revenge on society."

Hirako Shinji's eyebrows twitched, his eyes turned down, and the corners of his mouth lifted to reveal a mouthful of teeth that all looked like front teeth.

"Oh dear, looks like we're in trouble. Teaching assistant, aren't you going to introduce yourself? I don't want to fight with someone I don't know."

His eyebrows were drawn up in a V-shape, his mouth was stretched wide, and his whole face was squeezed into an expression that inexplicably conveyed a strong sense of mockery.

"You're such a nuisance! You've ruined my good mood of torturing newbies."

As he spoke, the teaching assistant raised his right hand, which had a pale white chain hanging from its wrist, and pointed to his chest with his thumb.

"Since you've asked, remember this for the rest of your life: I am Wei She. I'm responsible for teaching you the art of black magic so you'll realize how wonderful it is to learn the way of the demons."

Looking at the other person's face, which had changed its expression but was still full of mockery, Hirako Shinji suddenly realized why he always had a strange sense of déjà vu when he looked at this person.

Hirako Shinji glanced at Yuan Yuan, who was standing to the side with a cold expression, instructing Aikawa Luowu on the use of the High-Level Binding Technique, and nodded inwardly.

[That's right, just change that mocking expression to a cold one, and this person looks at least 70% like Teacher Yuan Yuan. Moreover, both of them are the type who will tell you directly when they want to get back at you, making no attempt to hide their malice.]

[But who is this person? I've never heard of Teacher Yuan Yuan having a child. Could it be an illegitimate child? Oh no, have I found out something terrible? Will I be silenced under the guise of training?]

Instantly, Hirako Shinji's eyes turned horrified, as if Yuan Yuan might come over at any moment to tell him, "Your training task today is to face a peak Adjuchas alone. I hope you can survive."

"So, these young people nowadays are really terrible. They even dare to daydream when they're facing me. Well, they need to be punished."

Before Hirako Shinji could react, he felt a sharp pain in his waist and was momentarily unable to move. The words seemed to be whispered in his ear.

"Kidney strike, oh, it can cause paralysis the moment it hits, which can restrict the opponent's mobility. Oh, and don't worry about using too much force and damaging the opponent's kidneys, ruining their future happiness and making them an enemy, because, as long as you use a little too much force, it can cause kidney bleeding, and they will die in just 5 seconds. There's no possibility of making an enemy, right, newbie?"

Only after Weishe finished spouting a bunch of nonsense did Hirako Shinji recover from the excruciating pain. He glared angrily at Weishe, whose expression had become increasingly mocking, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Next, I will also let you experience what pain is."

"Oh! Oh! What an admirable determination! But hey, you're a newbie."

In an instant, the figure of the serpent appeared in front of Hirako Shinji and gently patted his chest.

"Instead of talking tough, why not attack first? This time it's a rib strike. If the strike is accurate, it can easily cause dizziness due to lack of oxygen. Of course, if you use more force, you can break the opponent's ribs. A broken rib piercing into the lung will cause bleeding and suffocation. The death will be super ugly."

Hirako Shinji's expression grew even uglier. Without uttering a word, he threw a punch at Wei She. He had been on high alert, yet he hadn't even noticed Wei She's movements. And judging from Wei She's relaxed demeanor, this powerful assistant instructor, who seemed to have no idea where he was going, was probably just playing around, let alone going all out.

Faced with this desperate disparity in strength, Hirako Shinji knew that if he didn't attack now, he might never have the courage to attack again.

however…
