Death's Hidden Mobile

Xia Yan walked up to the cake, and Soi Fon softly sang, "Happy birthday to you..."

Under Soi Fon's beautiful voice, everyone began to sing the birthday song together. When the last sentence ended, Natsuhiko took a deep breath, exhaled sharply, and blew out all the candles, plunging the entire room into darkness.

But then Abarai turned on the light, and everyone clapped.

"I want the cake, the one with the cherry on it."

Kusajiro Yachiru stared longingly at the cherries on the cake.

"well."

Xia Yan smiled, picked up a knife, and with a swift motion, cut the cake into pieces, handing them to everyone.

Xia Yan gave a piece of cake to Soi Fon before cutting a piece for himself. Holding the plate, he looked at everyone around him, feeling very sweet inside.

They are his good friends, some are like older brothers, and some are like seniors who take care of him. To Xia Yan, they are like his family.

Xia Yan didn't want everything in front of him to be destroyed, and secretly vowed in his heart to protect these people.

Xia Yan thought to himself, took a bite of cream, but a lingering worry remained in his heart.

Did I really fool Aizen?

Did they really fool Aizen, who had manipulated the Seireitei so easily?

(Third update. A note: Electromagnetic force is the force generated by the movement of electric charges. Xia Yan's ability is to control electricity, which allows him to generate electromagnetic force and create a magnetic field, but he cannot directly manipulate electromagnetic force. The use of electromagnetic force and magnetic fields must be based on the control of electric current; electromagnetic force itself cannot provide feedback to the protagonist. In other words, any application that directly manipulates electromagnetic force is impossible. Of course, if the ability were to manipulate electromagnetic force, a conductor would need to perpendicularly cut magnetic field lines to generate current; he cannot directly manipulate electric current. Therefore, the applications of the two abilities are fundamentally different. Like Electro in Marvel, whose only ability related to magnetism is magnetism itself, which involves controlling the strength and direction of magnetic force through electric current, he cannot directly use electromagnetic force.)

Chapter 79: Combat Strength

After the banquet, Xia Yan's life gradually became more stable. With his promise to Soi Fon, Xia Yan worked even harder to master Bankai as soon as possible.

However, Xia Yan is still not fully capable of unleashing his Shikai ability, and has not yet reached the seventh-level spiritual pressure that is commonly possessed by captains.

Therefore, Xia Yan devoted more of his energy to cultivating spiritual pressure in the following period.

And so, time flew by, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Xia Yan continued to temper his physical body with magnetic fields while constantly replenishing his spiritual energy.

boom.

Xia Yan's aura suddenly changed, and his spiritual pressure was released, causing the surrounding boulders to turn into powder.

Xia Yan slowly stood up, looking at his hands. He had finally reached the seventh level of spiritual pressure.

With seventh-level spiritual pressure, it can fire ten Flying Dragon Thunder Roar Cannons and convert more lightning energy for combat.

How long did it take you?

It took him two years to reach level five spiritual pressure, five years to reach level six spiritual pressure, and then a full fifteen years to reach level seven spiritual pressure.

Reaching this level also means having stronger combat power, but the peak combat power is not much different. It is still in the upper-middle level of the captain level, only the duration is longer.

However, practical combat needs to be considered, so Xia Yan appeared in the Eleventh Division.

The target of this challenge is Kenpachi Zaraki himself.

Kenpachi Zaraki is the best candidate to test his abilities. His spiritual pressure is extremely high, even exceeding that of ordinary captains. He is skilled in slashing, and his strength and speed are extremely powerful. His ability to withstand blows is comparable to that of an Arrancar.

His only flaw is his lack of intelligence; he only knows how to fight head-on, and when faced with a countermeasure, he's doomed.

Moreover, he rarely dodged enemy attacks, making him a very good target.

Xia Yan found Kenpachi Zaraki, who was full of fighting spirit and said, "So you're finally going to challenge me?"

"Please enlighten me, Captain Zaraki."

Xia Yan drew his Zanpakuto, and after Kenpachi Zaraki gripped the sword, he took a step forward and charged towards Kenpachi Zaraki, slashing out with his sword.

"Kid, not going to use your Shikai? And don't even bother with that technique of yours, or I'll kill you with one strike."

As Kenpachi Zaraki spoke, he slashed down with his sword. The two swords clashed, and with a loud bang, Xia Yan was sent flying backward. However, in mid-air, Xia Yan landed smoothly and his body slowly came to a stop.

"Oh?"

Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that Xia Yan, without using Shikai or Shunko, would only be pushed back by his physical strength instead of being cleaved in two.

Xia Yan stretched his arms and legs, but felt it wasn't enough.

Wanting to test his physical strength, he continuously strengthened his body with magnetic fields over the past four years, becoming increasingly powerful, but still far inferior to Kenpachi Zaraki.

However, if it were my old self, this strike would have cleaved Kenpachi Zaraki in two.

Xia Yan swayed his body, and streaks of blue light emanated from his right hand and legs. The next moment, Xia Yan's figure suddenly disappeared.

"boom."

Kenpachi Zaraki swung his sword backhand, colliding with Natsuhiko's Zanpakuto. A loud bang resounded, and the two men froze for a moment.

Then, with a whooshing sound, several slashes appeared in the sky.

Wow, that was fast.

At that speed, Kenpachi Zaraki, who hadn't removed his blindfold, had no chance to dodge.

Since you can't avoid it, then don't try to avoid it.

Kenpachi Zaraki snorted coldly and raised his sword to slash down.

Puff, puff, puff.

Xia Yan's sword cut two bloody gashes into Kenpachi Zaraki's body, and he retreated rapidly, but was still struck by Kenpachi Zaraki's sword.

Three streaks of blood shot out from the two men.

Xia Yan's two strikes against Kenpachi Zaraki were achieved by sacrificing strength for speed; even with increased strength, they only left bloodstains.

As for Kenpachi Zaraki's slash, Natsuhiko managed to dodge some of the force by retreating, but the remaining force was partially absorbed by Natsuhiko's skin and muscles, still leaving him with a considerable wound.

Xia Yan looked at the bleeding chest, his fighting spirit intensified, and he charged forward again.

Clang, clang, clang.

The two Zanpakuto clashed repeatedly, leaving only afterimages in their wake. Kenpachi Zaraki grew increasingly excited, his sword moving faster and faster.

However, Xia Yan's speed also increased accordingly.

Xia Yan's physical strength has increased, and the intensity of his instantaneous attacks has also improved. At the same time, his speed has increased, making him a level above when he first sparred with Kenpachi Zaraki.

At that time, I used the Instant Strike technique, but only gained an advantage for a moment before being defeated.

But now he can use his instantaneous ability to fight Kenpachi Zaraki to a draw even without removing his eyepatch.

After exchanging dozens of blows, Kenpachi Zaraki shouted, "Very good, it's worth using my power."

As Kenpachi Zaraki spoke, he removed his blindfold, and an immense spiritual pressure filled the barracks, making it difficult for those around him to breathe.

But the next moment, Xia Yan vanished in a flash, leaving Kenpachi Zaraki alone.

"Where is he? How dare you run away! I'm going to kill you."

Kenpachi Zaraki saw Natsuhiko flee without a fight, roared, and charged out of the barracks, only to find that Natsuhiko had already disappeared.

"Damn it."

Enraged, Kenpachi Zaraki drew his sword and slashed at the wall beside him. With a loud crash, the wall shattered.

At that moment, a figure jumped onto Kenpachi Zaraki's back and said, "Kenpachi, calm down."

Kenpachi Zaraki put his blindfold back on and said, "This kid only knows how to run away."

Kusajishi Yachiru laughed and said, "No, it's because if you take off your blindfold, Kokoro won't be a match for you unless you use your Zanpakuto. But Kokoro doesn't know Shikai, and he doesn't want to use his Zanpakuto abilities to fight you."

Upon hearing this, Kenpachi Zaraki suppressed his anger and turned back to the barracks.

. . .

Xia Yan ran back to the Second Division, not out of fear, but because he felt it was unnecessary.

After removing his blindfold, Kenpachi Zaraki's strength can be increased again. Since he can't fight with his Shunkaku Remnant, he will have to use his Shikai.

He believes that he can contend with Kenpachi Zaraki without his eyepatch by using his lightning wings and lightning strikes. If he uses lightning energy and Kenpachi Zaraki does not dodge, he can win. If Kenpachi dodges, he can gain the upper hand.

However, once Kenpachi Zaraki uses dual-wielding swordsmanship and goes all out, it's just a matter of the two of them exploding together; neither of them can stop the other.

But this is not Kenpachi Zaraki's full strength; it is only his ability to attack with his bare hands.

Moreover, even if it's a bare-handed attack, there are still seals. How strong is it after the seal is broken, how strong is it after the Shikai, and how strong is it after the Bankai?

My current strength is equivalent to Kenpachi Zaraki's sealed limit.

He needs to continue to temper his body. Once his body reaches the level of Noh 5, he can combine Shunko and Kenpachi's dual swordsmanship.

Only by using the initial release to further enhance combat power can it reach the level of a super captain.

Only after mastering Bankai will one be qualified to reach the level of Special Rank combat power and fight against the Shinigami Aizen.

As for Collapse Blue, its second form was already an existence that even two Super Captain-level combatants, Gato's combat power, could not defeat, and it could not even be killed after being sealed.

Xia Yan couldn't find a reason to defeat Aizen, so he could only do his best to prevent Aizen from obtaining Urahara Kisuke's Hogyoku.

Chapter 80: The Wind Sweeps Through the Sky

After fighting Kenpachi Zaraki, Natsuhiko returned to the barracks to treat his injuries. He had been slashed, but the wound was not shallow.

Xia Yan can heal himself using the Return Path, so he doesn't need to go to the Fourth Division.

On this day, Xia Yan and Soi Fon gathered on the training ground, Xia Yan's hands and feet covered by the gale.

"This is?"

Soi Fon stared wide-eyed at Natsuhiko, who was suspended in mid-air.

Xia Yan said with a smile, "Feng Shun Hong, of course, is an incomplete version."

Soi Fon asked in surprise, "You've mastered another instantaneous blast, but it seems your lightning instantaneous blast isn't complete yet."

Xia Yan replied, "I have Thunder Wing and Thunder Strike. Thunder Strike doesn't need to be fully completed, lest my Zanpakuto be sealed by someone like Ramirez."

If I encounter Ramirez again, I can defeat him by using my increasingly strong body in combination with Shunpo and Hakuda.

If you use Wind Sweep, you can easily kill it.

However, if it's an Arrancar of the same caliber as Wonderwiss, even Kunanbai can only contend with him in Hollowfied form. Even if he uses Wind Sweep, he still can't defeat him.
