Death's Hidden Mobile

The ointment was very cooling, and felt cool on my face, but Soi Fon's movements were a bit too forceful, and it pressed right onto a swollen and painful spot. "Hiss."

Xia Yan instinctively dodged, and Soi Fon glared at him, saying, "Don't move."

"sorry."

Xia Yan leaned closer, and Soi Fon continued to apply the ointment, but her movements were much gentler.

While applying the medicine, Soi Fong said, "This is a medicine for treating bruising and swelling. After applying it, the swelling will subside in about a day. It takes longer than the return of blood, but it is very useful when you can't get treatment."

Xia Yan dared not move, looking at Soi Fon's profile so close to his eyes, and thought her skin was quite nice, fair and delicate, with a good texture.

In the anime, Soi Fon's skin is dark yellow, while all the other women, except Yoruichi, have white skin, making her skin tone stand out somewhat.

However, in the comics, whether it's the serialized illustrations or the cover of the collected volumes, everything is white, and the characters are whiter than other female characters.

Xia Yan is very annoyed by this. Her skin is so fair and radiant, why did they make it look like a dark yellow color, like she's malnourished?

Xia Yan stared at Soi Fon's face, and Soi Fon felt very uncomfortable under Xia Yan's puppy-dog-like gaze, but she didn't say anything. Let him look.

However, after Soi Fon applied ointment to the wound on Natsuhiko's left cheek, she was about to apply it to the wound on Natsuhiko's right side when, as she turned her head, Soi Fon's eyes met Natsuhiko's eyes.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and this second felt like an eternity. Xia Yan could even see his own face reflected in Soi Fon's eyes.

But the stillness was only momentarily broken.

Snapped.

Soi Fon raised her hand and slapped Natsuhiko across the face.

The force wasn't strong, but it was very crisp.

"Captain Soi Fon, why did you hit me?"

The latter looked at Soi Fon pitifully.

Soi Fon couldn't possibly say, "Your gaze gives me the creeps," so she could only feign anger and ask, "Do I need a reason to hit you?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan turned his face away. Seeing this, Soi Fon asked, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"

Xia Yan shook his head and said, "No, I want the captain to get a slap in the face here too, so that we can't show favoritism."

Soi Fon was amused by Natsuhiko's helpless expression, and a smile appeared on her lips, but she still said with a straight face, "Nonsense, turn your head around, the ointment is not finished yet."

Xia Yan obediently turned his head and let Soi Fon apply the ointment to his wounds, as well as the wounds on his arms and chest.

"Stand up."

Soi Fon told Xia Yan to stand up, and Xia Yan obediently stood up straight. He was a little over 1.4 meters tall, but not much shorter than Soi Fon's 1.5 meters.

Soi Fon had to slightly tilt her head and squat down a little to apply ointment to Natsuhiko's chest wound, so that her profile was right in front of him.

Looking at that rosy face, Xia Yan really wanted to kiss her, but he restrained his desire. It wasn't the right time yet. After they got married, when the time came to kiss, he could kiss wherever he wanted, wherever he didn't want to.

"Ha ha ha ha."

As he pondered this, Xia Yan's signature silly grin returned.

"He laughed again."

Soi Fon glared at Natsuhiko, who quickly suppressed his smile.

This time, Soi Fon didn't hit Xia Yan. Instead, she stood up straight and asked, "Where else does it hurt?"

Xia Yan stared at Soi Fon for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then pointed to his own butt.

Soi Fon angrily raised her hand and slapped Natsuhiko on the forehead. "Do you think I didn't see your hesitant expression? What do you mean by pointing at your butt? You want me to put medicine on your butt?"

That brat.

Soi Fon knew he liked her and showed these feelings when they were together, but pretended to be very good at hiding them.

Although Soi Fon doesn't reject this affection and doesn't find it difficult to be with Natsuhiko, she still has someone she likes in her heart. Even though that person betrayed her, she won't fall in love with anyone else.

Besides, he's too young, still a little kid, and I might like him.

Soi Fon handed the ointment to Xia Yan and said, "Take this. Apply it yourself if you have any swelling or pain when you get home."

Xia Yan took the ointment, then held it up and said, "Captain Soi Fon, your arm was cut by some gravel. Shall I apply it for you?"

Soi Fon had a small cut on her arm, from a piece of gravel.

Soi Fon waved her hand and said, "This is for reducing swelling and relieving pain, not for stopping bleeding."

Xia Yan immediately said, "Then shall I use the Returning Dao to heal you?"

Soi Fon was somewhat surprised and asked, "You can reply?"

Xia Yan said, "I can heal some common wounds and swellings based on the principle of the return path, although the power is weaker."

Soi Fon thought for a moment and said, "Then you can heal her."

As she spoke, Soi Fon stretched out her arm in front of Natsuhiko.

Xia Yan put away the ointment, placed one hand on Soi Fon's wound, and released the Return Path to repair the wound by adjusting the density of spiritual particles.

Four years ago, when Renji Abarai was attacked, Xia Yan could only use both hands to release the Return Path, but now he can use one hand, and his recovery speed is even slightly faster.

Watching Xia Yan's actions, Soi Fon felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Xia Yan helped her heal her wound, then looked up and said, "Captain Soi Fon, it's healed."

Seeing Xia Yan looking at her like he was about to praise her, Soi Fon realized what was happening and raised her hand to slap Xia Yan on the head.

"Captain Soi Fon, why did you hit me again?"

Xia Yan looked at Soi Fon; this was already the third time she had been hit today.

"How dare you ask me?"

Soi Fon said irritably, "Since you can reply, why do you need me to apply ointment for you?"

Hearing this, Xia Yan looked at Soi Fon, chuckled, and said, "Forgot?"

Soi Fon slapped Xia Yan on the head and scolded, "How could you forget this?"

"I'm sorry," Xia Yan quickly apologized, but a smile played on his lips.

Soi Fon looked at Natsuhiko, her youthful face filled with burning passion in her eyes, her expression brimming with anticipation and longing.

She was naturally familiar with this appearance, as she had seen herself looking like this many times in the mirror.

Thinking about the outcome of this relationship, Soi Fon's mood was immediately veiled, and all her true feelings were suppressed in her heart.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go."

Leaving those words behind, Soi Fon turned and left, leaving Natsuhiko alone to savor the moment they had just shared.

Chapter 57: Arrangements

On Mount Koibu, two shuttle-shaped metal bullets, each weighing about four kilograms, were placed in front of Xia Yan.

Xia Yan extended his left hand, and the bullet hovered in front of his palm. With the enormous energy released from Xia Yan's arm, the bullet spun in the air.

Whoosh.

When the speed reaches its limit, Xia Yan's controlled magnetic field changes, and the projectile gains a huge thrust, launching rapidly.

boom.

A flash of light disappeared, followed by a loud bang in the distance, and smoke billowed in the air.

Xia Yan walked to the location near the explosion, which was a section of rock wall on Mount Lifu. At this moment, a huge crater appeared in the rock wall, and the shell disappeared deep inside. There was an opening about four decimeters in diameter on the outer edge of the rock, but as the opening went deeper, the diameter became smaller and smaller, extending into the distance, reaching a depth of more than ten meters.

Because the rock face is not very hard, the electromagnetic gun's energy is mostly used to penetrate the rock face.

Xia Yan was very satisfied with the power of the shot; if it hit a person, it could easily pierce through them.

If the human body has high hardness, such as being able to penetrate steel, the energy of the projectile will hit a single point, causing massive damage.

Moreover, it is extremely fast, reaching about six times the speed of sound.

Therefore, it is quite difficult for the human body to defend against electromagnetic guns.

Moreover, the consumption of spiritual energy is minimal. The majority of the spiritual energy consumed is used to accelerate the magnetic field and to stabilize the projectile in the air through the magnetic field.

The projectile Xia Yan tested weighed only 1.6 kilograms, much less than the 10.4 kilograms tested by some countries. Moreover, a 10-kilogram projectile could reach seven times the speed of sound, so his own speed was still too slow.

It does not need an energy system of its own, but only needs to build turrets and energy conversion systems, thus greatly improving efficiency.

Therefore, if a turret is built to better convert electrical energy into magnetic fields, the consumption of spiritual energy will be reduced, while the power will increase and the speed will be faster.

So, if one were to convert all of their existing energy into electrical energy and use it to launch metal projectiles from a giant cannon, how powerful would that be?

Xia Yan felt that reaching a speed of about 6,000 meters per second was not a problem, and the enormous kinetic energy would destroy everything.

I could easily create such a weapon and unleash it on Aizen when facing an enemy. As long as Aizen doesn't have the immortality gained from fusing with the Hogyoku, I could easily kill him.

However, this requires an extremely high level of craftsmanship and very high-quality metal materials for the turret. Given the current technological advancements in Soul Society, achieving this is virtually impossible.

Therefore, Xia Yan decided to consult some materials and explore the feasibility of the experiment.

If you can't build large turrets, it's better not to use them at all. Accelerating any metal projectile requires a huge amount of energy and acceleration time.

While converting energy and accelerating projectiles, the enemy can react in time and dodge.

They might not be faster than the electromagnetic cannon, but if they evade it in advance, Xia Yan's electromagnetic cannon will be less effective.

Xia Yan could increase the release speed by reducing the mass of the projectile, but this would reduce the power of the electromagnetic gun, making it a losing proposition.

Of course, it can still be used for containment and surprise attacks.

Xia Yan plans to create several special projectiles with health bars and blades, which can be used as a secondary weapon in peacetime and can be accelerated into electromagnetic cannons in wartime.

After making up his mind, Xia Yan returned to Mount Lifu and began to cultivate other abilities.

Lightning crackled from Xia Yan's left hand, eventually coalescing into a small bird. The bird appeared in his palm, and with a flick of his wrist, it shot out and flew forward.

boom.

The bird crashed into the rock, shattering it and leaving a large crater.

Seeing this, Xia Yan seemed lost, and then blue birds bloomed around his body, numbering more than a dozen.

Boom, boom, boom.
