Death's Hidden Mobile

"Let's not talk about him anymore. I made you come to me every Wednesday and Friday so that I could give you special training."

Soi Fon looked at Natsuhiko and slowly said, "There are three special training missions. The first is to help you master the art of stepping into the air, the second is to teach you how to break through and penetrate, and the third is to teach you how to fight in open combat and use the Shunpo technique. All high-ranking Shinigami need to master the first one, the second is the technique mastered by the Stealth Mobile Force and a few other Shinigami. The third is the training mission I have prepared for you."

Xia Yan knew the meaning of "stepping into the air" and "collapsing through the point". Stepping into the air is a means of levitation that can make the Grim Reaper float in the air.

As for "bursting point" and "penetrating point," these are methods of subduing enemies by injecting anesthetic into the body, and are considered special techniques.

Soi Fon looked at Natsuhiko and said, "Today I'll teach you how to 'walk on air.' Walking on air is a method of gathering spiritual particles in the atmosphere under your feet to achieve the ability to float and move forward in the air."

After a pause, Soi Fon continued, "To achieve the ability to step into the air, you need a high level of spiritual pressure to control the surrounding spiritual particles and create a support point in the air. First, gather the spiritual particles in your palm."

After Soi Fon finished speaking, Natsuhiko stretched out his right hand, and the surrounding spiritual particles frantically gathered in Natsuhiko's right hand, forming a blue ball of light.

Soi Fon nodded and said, "Now place your left hand on the spirit particle."

Xia Yan reached out his left hand to press the spirit particle, but his left hand passed right through it, causing the spirit particle to spread instead.

Soi Fon explained, "This is because the density of spirit particles is relatively low. To stand in the air, the density of the support point formed must be extremely high, which requires extremely strong control. Let me teach you first... You, you succeeded?"

Before Soi Fon could finish her last sentence, the spirit particles in front of Xia Yan slowly unfolded, turned upright, and became only about one centimeter thick, and continued to compress.

As the density of the spiritual particles increased, Xia Yan leaped onto them, but only managed to hold on for a moment before collapsing.

Xia Yan fell off the spirit device, scratching his head and saying, "It didn't work. It seems the control was too weak."

failure?

Before I've even finished speaking, you've already created a support point that can support the body for a moment; that's already a success.

Soi Fon thought to herself, but still kept a straight face and said, "It's good that you know. Don't rush it. This isn't something you can do in one or two tries... Wait, you succeeded?"

Before Soi Fon could finish her sentence, Xia Yan gathered spiritual particles again. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and jumped up. This time, the spiritual particles continued to gather, supporting Xia Yan's body.

Xia Yan stood in the air, swaying his body. Although the spiritual particles beneath his feet kept disintegrating, they kept gathering again.

Soi Fon narrowed her eyes. She succeeded already? Wasn't that a bit too easy?

This technique of stepping into the air is not something every Shinigami can master; it requires a certain level of spiritual pressure and considerable self-control.

Of course, as long as these two conditions are met, it is not difficult to master.

In the original work, when Zangetsu taught Ichigo Kurosaki this technique, he said directly that Ichigo could now master it, and Ichigo succeeded easily.

Soi Fon breathed a sigh of relief. With Natsuhiko's spiritual pressure, controlling it wouldn't be a problem; it was just that he was relatively clever.

But then Soi Fon was surprised by what she saw. She saw that Natsuhiko, who was in mid-air, had the spiritual particles under his feet gradually turn into a road that spread into the distance.

The road was straight, smooth, and neat. Xia Yan ran along the road into the distance, then rolled at the end and returned to Soi Fon's side.

Soi Fon stared at Natsuhiko and asked, "How did you do that?"

This is not a simple stepping into the void, but a spiritual path, which requires extremely high spiritual pressure to form and serves as the primary means of travel in the void-filled rift.

The requirements for spiritual energy in spiritual paths are extremely strict. Not only do they require free spiritual particles in the air, but they also require spiritual particles released by the practitioner.

The higher the spiritual pressure of the practitioner, the wider the spiritual path; the purer the spiritual power, the more orderly the spiritual path.

Although Xia Yan's spiritual path is not as good as mine, it is still at the level of an ordinary third or fourth seat.

Xia Yan replied with a smile, "I originally wanted to increase the spiritual particles under my feet, but the surrounding spiritual particles couldn't be replenished in time. So I released my own spiritual power to stabilize it, and it happened naturally."

"I see. You did a good job."

Soi Fon's eyes were complicated. This kid's talent was too high. Not only was his spiritual pressure high, but his control over spiritual particles was also extremely strong. No wonder he was a genius of the demon path.

Xia Yan leaped into the air. In the instant he jumped, spiritual particles gathered in the sky, and Xia Yan landed on them. Then he leaped upwards again.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Yan jumped higher and higher, and his speed increased until he was flying in mid-air.

But when he was in mid-air, Xia Yan suddenly leaned backward and fell down.

"not good."

Seeing this, Soi Fon was about to rush over to save him when, in the next moment, Natsuhiko pressed his hands down in the air, and the spiritual particles there formed a support point, supporting his body.

Then Xia Yan flipped and jumped down again, using the constantly condensing spiritual particles to do somersaults in the air.

Oh no, I can't take it anymore, I want to kill someone.

Seeing this, Soi Fon sighed. It had taken her a whole day to learn how to take a step.

But this kid succeeded after only two attempts, and he even extended his knowledge, learning the Spiritual Path and using it with such proficiency.

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.

As Soi Fon was thinking, Natsuhiko had already landed lightly and stood beside her, asking, "Captain Soi Fon, what else do we need to learn today?"

What should we learn? You've already prepared the teaching materials for me.

Soi Fon looked at Xia Yan and said helplessly, "Since I've already taught you how to step into the air, I'll just teach you how to pierce through and break through."

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Plan

Penetration and puncture are unique techniques for administering anesthesia. Penetration involves piercing the skin with the palm of the hand to deliver a potent anesthetic into the target body. Penetration involves injecting the anesthetic into the body with tremendous force.

Both have powerful anesthetic effects, which even those with high spiritual pressure cannot avoid. For example, Yoruichi Shihouin used acupuncture to anesthetize Ichigo Kurosaki, and Kira used acupuncture to anesthetize Yumichika.

Soi Fon told Natsuhiko the usage techniques, but there was no way to test them now, so he could only figure it out on his own.

Moreover, this combat style is used relatively infrequently, only in special circumstances.

After Xia Yan remembered this, the special training mission was over. Soi Fon told Xia Yan to come back on Friday and then planned to leave.

But after taking a few steps, he found Xia Yan following behind him.

Soi Fon stopped and looked at Natsuhiko, asking, "Is there anything else?"

Xia Yan coughed and said, "Captain Soi Fon, I'd like to borrow some money."

Soi Fon looked at Xia Yan with some surprise and asked, "Borrow money?"

Xia Yan nodded and said, "I didn't bring much money with me. I've spent it all in the past few days and I'm penniless now. I can't even make it to my salary."

Xia Yan's money was what he had saved from his previous jobs, and it wasn't much. It was all used up in just a few days just for food.

Being in a squad is different from being at the Shinigami Academy. The latter provides food, lodging, and daily necessities, while the former only provides dormitories, but you have to pay for your own meals and daily necessities.

Xia Yan originally wanted to borrow money from Ōmaeda Nozomi, but who knew that he didn't even come to the squad today.

Soi Fon, upon hearing Natsuhiko's words, said, "Okay, let's go get it."

Soi Fon led Xia Yan back to the team's office, took out her purse, pulled out a stack of coins, handed them to Xia Yan, and asked, "Is this enough?"

Looking at the thick stack of banknotes with four zeros on it, Xia Yan quickly said, "One hundred thousand is enough, this is too much."

As an adjutant, Xia Yan earns 200,000 yen per month, which is roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of the Japanese yen.

Soi Fon picked out ten cards and handed them to Xia Yan. Xia Yan took them and said with a smile, "Thank you, Captain Soi Fon. I will return them to you as soon as possible."

Soi Fon waved her hand and said, "You don't need to pay this back."

Soi Fon is extremely wealthy. As the captain of the Second Division, the commander-in-chief of the Onmitsukido, and the commander of the Execution Army, she receives three salaries. In addition, she has a large amount of training funds. Furthermore, after the division was destroyed, the person who repaired it was Ōmaeda Kichiyo, which allowed Soi Fon to accumulate most of her wealth.

Therefore, Soi Fon doesn't care about a mere 100,000.

But Xia Yan said, "Then I'll treat the captain to dinner."

Just as Soi Fon was about to refuse, Natsuhiko smiled and said, "It's decided then."

Xia Yan turned and ran out of the room. Soi Fon frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

He was the second person to borrow money from him, and the second person to offer to treat him to a meal.

The first time was, of course, with that woman.

Thinking of her, Soi Fon felt both love and hate.

. . .

After receiving the money, Xia Yan left the squad and headed to the shopping street to buy some items.

Xia Yan's barracks are still quite simple. He will be staying here for many years and needs to buy some things.

Xia Yan plans to buy an alarm clock. He is determined to get up an hour earlier every day for an hour of martial arts training.

At the same time, Xia Yan plans to buy a key ring to string all his keys together.

There were also toiletries, notebooks and pens, and a bookshelf.

Xia Yan bought a lot of things, spending over 40,000 yuan. Just as she was about to leave with these things, a voice rang in her ears, "Little Yan Yan, it really is you."

Xia Yan turned around and saw Kusajishi Yachiru with pink hair standing there, holding a paper bag in her left hand and taking out a konpeito from the bag with her right hand and stuffing it into her mouth.

Xia Yan said with a smile, "Vice Captain Yachiru, are you here to buy candy?"

"Hmm, let's buy some candy."

Kusajika Yachiru ate another konpeito and looked at Natsuhiko's shihakage outfit, asking, "Are you a shinigami now? Which squad are you in?"

Xia Yan replied, "I joined the Second Division."

Kusajika Yachiru nodded and said, "Second Division, that's not a good place for you."

Xia Yan had heard this sentence more than once, and could only smile wryly in resignation.

Kusajishi Yachiru waved her hand and said, "I'm leaving. You can come find me at the Eleventh Division if you have time."

"I will go."

Xia Yan agreed, and this wasn't just polite talk. The Eleventh Division is a combat team, and direct combat is their way of fighting. If you want to gain experience through actual combat, they will be a very suitable opponent.

After Kusajishi Yachiru left, Natsuhiko returned to the barracks and began arranging the rotation tasks for tomorrow. Then, he sat on his bed and continued to communicate with his Zanpakuto.

However, there has been no response yet, indicating that it has not been recognized.

Xia Yan knew he didn't need to rush; the first thing he needed to do was improve himself.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan took out a piece of paper and began to make a detailed schedule.

First, there's the work. Xia Yan is in charge of the security team's work every day, especially after Omaeda Nozomi handed over all the work to Xia Yan, he has a lot to do.

However, since they hadn't encountered any danger for decades, the work of the guard team was relatively easy. Xia Yan didn't need to personally take charge of every guard post; he only needed to divide the area and let the guard squads rotate on their own.

Xia Yan needs to dedicate six hours a day to work; this is an unchangeable work schedule that must be taken into consideration.

In addition, Xia Yan gets up at six o'clock every morning to wash up and go to the cafeteria for breakfast, which takes about half an hour.
