Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

Yilong hasn't felt so fast for a long time, and his performance is even beyond his normal level.

But even so...

When passing by an alley, he was stopped by a black cat holding a yellow croaker that was disproportionate to its size!

really……

Yilong sighed secretly - he was worthy of being called the "God of Instant", in this form, he could actually catch up... and even hold a fish in his mouth?

However, what Yoruichi didn't expect was that Yilong raised his right hand high with his fingertips pointing to the sky. From his arm under the sleeves of the Death Tyrant Suit, a black mark could be seen extending to his fingertips...

"The Seventy-seventh Way of Binding: Tianting Kongluo!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 19: Patriarch, you are confused!

The Advanced Binding Technique ranked 77th can actually "chant destruction"?

Well, if this was the 75th or 76th chapter of the Binding Technique, Yoruichi would be much more surprised...

As for [The Seventy-Seventh Technique of Binding: Tentei Kūra]... it is indeed an advanced technique of binding, but its advancedness lies in that it can "accurately lock onto a large number of targets at a long distance and transmit messages" - in the original work, Unohana Retsu's deputy, Kotetsu Yuune, used this technique of binding to quickly inform everyone of Aizen's conspiracy and stop everyone's "internal strife".

But now, Yilong only uses it to lock on to one target, and even the way he locks on may be a bit tricky, so even if he "chant to destroy", it is not considered difficult...

The "black mark" spread out from Yilong's fingertips and quickly extended in a certain direction. At the same time, Yilong shouted: "Captain! I'm fighting a black cat!"

"How can a man ask for help so quickly? Without trying first?"

The black cat then turned back into a human form - a woman with dark brown skin and long purple-red hair tied into a ponytail. What caught people's attention was her golden eyes, and...

Although she was not wearing any clothes, she threw the fish in her mouth up. From Yilong's perspective, the falling yellow croaker perfectly blocked her exposed parts. When the fish landed on the ground, she had quickly put on her clothes!

He was wearing an orange martial arts uniform on the upper body and black tights on the lower body, and it did not appear that he was carrying a Zanpakuto.

"It is you, the old patriarch... Although I am also a member of the Shifengyuan family, I am sorry that I cannot obey your order if you want to rebel against me!" Yilong said with great backbone.

Then he added, "Besides, Captain Soi-Fong is coming soon. If you leave now, I can pretend that I didn't see it... I also hope that you, old master, will stop before it is too late and stop doing things that harm the Soul Society with those troublemakers. Otherwise, although I am Ichiryu Shihouin, I am also Ichiryu, the vice-captain of the Second Division, and I can only fight with you with swords..."

However, before he could finish, Ye Yi used the "Instant Step" which is known as the strongest skill of the God of Death, and instantly came behind Yilong. He "touched" Yilong's neck with his palm, and the spiritual pressure blooming from his fingertips, like a short dagger, was pointed at Yilong's throat!

"Master, please spare my life! Shifengyuan Taiyi has stolen the position of master. I am just waiting for you to raise your arm and call for help. I will follow you to eliminate the thief!" Yilong shouted immediately.

Taichi Shihouin, the current head of the Shihouin family.

"Stealing the position of the head of the family? Haha, wasn't it you who instigated it?" Ye Yi asked playfully.

"How is it possible? What kind of shameless villain is spreading rumors like this? Master, I only pretended to be nice to them in order to protect Master Xishilang's safety..." Yilong argued indignantly.

Well, Yilong was worried that there might be such a despicable person slandering him, so he was not very willing to meet the head of the Ye family.

But Ye Yi didn't believe it at all...

It was true that the Shihouin family had internal strife after she left, and to some extent, it was also true that Ichiryu "protected" Yushiro, but...

Yoruichi investigated privately afterwards - without you, our Shihouin family would not be in chaos. This guy is clearly the culprit who lured Shihouin Taichi into fighting for the throne, but those idiots haven't discovered this until now!

"Master Yushiro likes me very much. I even taught him instant step last month!" Yilong played the emotional card.

Yushiro is Yoruichi's younger brother and the original heir to the Shihouin family.

"You are really white, aren't you?" Ye Yi leaned close to Yilong's ear and said.

Indeed, compared to Yoruichi, Yuushirou, and the main family members of the Shihouin family, Ichiryu's skin is too white!

"After all, I'm just a branch of the family..." Yilong said as a matter of course, but sweat was already on his forehead.

"Oh? Your branch family... are the descendants of the Shihouin clan that was found by Aizen in Hueco Mundo and lost in the expeditionary force in Hueco Mundo, right?" Yoruichi said coldly at this time.

Yilong felt that the tips of her fingers were about to touch the skin of his neck.

"Yes, that's right. It was Captain Aizen who helped me recognize my ancestors. The head of the family... ahem, the fake head of the family and the elders have also seen the evidence. But later I felt that Aizen was too hypocritical, so I have drawn a clear line between myself and him!" Yilong looked like "Whoever the head of the Ya family hates, I hate too."

"Hehe, but you, the branch family, are now one of the five elders of the Shifengyuan clan?" Ye Yi did not comment on Yilong's statement of "drawing a clear line of demarcation".

"I have only made a small contribution to the Shifengyuan clan..." Yilong said modestly.

Feeling that the old patriarch's spiritual pressure blade was about to cut him, Yilong immediately shouted: "But this is just the way those rebels arrange things! In my heart, the patriarch will always be Master Yoichi, and the second heir will also be Master Yushiro! I am just a branch family, how can I have the right of inheritance? It's really ridiculous..."

"A branch family... at this point, are you still insisting that you are a branch family? Then it seems that I can only ask you to come here first and show me the so-called identity 'evidence'!"

As Ye Yi spoke, the bandage on his arm naturally dropped a little...

The next moment, the bandage seemed to have life and suddenly wrapped around Yilong.

But at this moment...

Swah——

tear-

There was a sound of binding, but... the "bandage" was wrapped around nothing!

No, it wasn't completely empty, but it only entangled Ichiryū's haori!

Ye Yi's golden pupils narrowed - is this... Kong Chan?

Of course she recognized that this was a very advanced instant movement technique.

But let’s not talk about the fact that “Kuchan” itself is a high-end skill, and although Yoruichi did not try his best and did not concentrate fully just now, and there was an element of underestimation, but... an ordinary captain-level guy would not be able to dodge in the situation just now!

Ichiryū, whose feather robe had already fallen off, had an expression of "that was a close call", but his posture gave people the feeling that he was at ease, and he landed lightly about ten steps away.

"Why is the master like this?" Yilong said with a slight smile.

"Third-class spiritual power, no Bankai, solid cutting fist and ghost-moving skills, but lacking strong points, timid in actual combat, slightly inferior to the captain level... You really hide it very well?" Yoruichi first muttered about Ichiryuu's "information" in Soul Society, and then made a sarcastic remark.

"Eh? The spiritual pressure I exerted just now didn't exceed the third-level spiritual power, right? As for the lack of strengths... After all, I'm the fifth-in-line heir of the Shifengyuan clan, so how can I be so bad at instant movement? Don't you agree, Mr. Yoruichi?" Yilong said as a matter of course.

Soi Fong's spiritual pressure was clearly approaching.

The "Master of the House" turned back into "Mr. Yoruichi"...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 20 Spiritual Power

The reason why Yoruichi decided to release the bandage and take Ichiryu away was because she felt Soi-Fong's spiritual pressure approaching!

When Yilong dodged the attack, Ye Yi realized that it was too late, so he looked at Yilong deeply, and then disappeared without saying anything.

"Where are the people?" Soi-Fong rushed over and found... Yilong was putting on his clothes.

She didn't understand what had just happened!

However, I could sense the faint spiritual pressure left here - it was indeed that woman...

It’s not that Soi Fong was slow to get here, it’s just that Soul Society is too big.

Even though Soi Fong was on her way back and was not in the bottom forty areas, she was still unable to catch up because she was so tired from her "Instant Step" that she was out of breath!

"Old Patriarch... ahem, that person wanted to win me over, but I am loyal to you, Captain, and to the Gotei 13! I was just pretending to be nice to her in order to buy time for the captain to arrive, and she didn't leave until she felt the captain's spiritual pressure." Yilong said honestly.

Broken Bee: ...

Soi-Fong looked at Yilong carefully and then asked, "Then why did you take off your haori? And this is..." Then she looked at the big yellow croaker in Yilong's hand.

"She also wanted to snatch the yellow croaker I bought for you, and said that I was not worthy of wearing a haori! Maybe... she is dissatisfied with my establishment of an inspection team." Yilong said regretfully.

However, even though Yilong was talking eloquently, Shuifeng still smiled and said, "So...she at least tried to test it, right?"

Soi-Fong understood that Yoruichi would not just leave without saying anything. This guy Ichiryu... concealed key information!

"That's right! It suppressed my choking throat with just one move!" Yilong looked scared.

"Oh? So after feeling my spiritual pressure, she didn't kidnap you or take action directly?" Soi-Fong sneered.

"Well... after all, I am also a member of the Shifengyuan clan, and I saved Yushiro back then!" Yilong firmly believes that kind people will not have too bad luck.

Soi-Fong instinctively felt that there was some truth in Yilong's words, but she didn't know how much.

but……

It was true that he immediately "called for help", and it was also true that "that person" was indeed here just now. The other broken bees looked at the yellow croaker he was carrying... and didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing Soi-Fong turn around and walk towards the White Path Gate, Yilong immediately followed. Soi-Fong asked casually, "Your spiritual pressure... is really stable. A hundred years ago, it was barely a third-class spiritual power, and it is still the same now."

"This is pretty much my limit. It's good enough if I don't regress." Yilong said without much resentment, as if he had let it go.

X-level spiritual power is just a statistical concept, not a "realm" or something like that. It is not true that after breaking through a certain level, the spiritual pressure will increase significantly...

Everyone has their own bottleneck when cultivating spiritual pressure. As for how high they can rank, it depends on the specific results.

The first level is the highest and the twentieth level is the lowest. (Note 1)

The specific combat capability cannot be determined by a spiritual power of level X...

As we all know, the Grim Reaper pays attention to four skills - cutting, punching, and running away.

If you want to have strong combat effectiveness, you can't be too bad in any subject, and you need to be good at some of them so that you can have your own combat system.

Ever since the invention of "Zanpakuto", or in other words, "it was able to be mass-produced", Shikai and Bankai have become the most important determinants of the Shinigami's combat effectiveness.

"The Shihouin clan, known as the 'Heaven-given Weapons', have countless magical weapons... there must be something that can trigger your Bankai, right?" Soi-Fong asked half doubtfully and half tentatively.

Soi-Fong is very familiar with the Shihōin clan, even more familiar with them than many people in Shihōin - after all, the Bee family has been retainers of the Shihōin clan for generations, and now... she has some intentions of rebellion!

Generally speaking, an eighth-level spiritual power is considered to have the potential to develop "Shikai".

In the 13th Division, the tenth-class spiritual power is considered the threshold for becoming a "seating officer" - there are a total of twenty seats for the seating officers in each division, and generally the seating officers at the back have spiritual pressure at the level of tenth-class spiritual power.

Those who can reach the eighth level of spiritual power and develop the initial release are definitely high-ranking officers, while deputy captains are mostly at the fourth or fifth level of spiritual power.

For example, the genius Shiba Kaien of that year graduated from the Maou Spiritual Academy in just one year and possessed a spiritual pressure of the sixth level of spiritual power. After that, in just five years, his spiritual pressure was rated as the fourth level of spiritual power, and he became the vice-captain of the 13th Division.

Of course, this is just the standard for spiritual pressure, and there are actually many other requirements and considerations.

The third-class spiritual power is considered to be the standard for the development of "Bankai". In terms of spiritual pressure alone, it can be said to be captain-level...

In fact, there is no particularly authoritative distinction or identification between first- and second-class spiritual power. After all... captains at this level would not be so honest in giving evaluations to others.

Second-class Lingwei does not receive any more subsidies than third-class Lingwei, and no one specifically emphasizes that they are second-class or first-class.

Everyone knows that the captain level is basically the top three spiritual powers, but it is not clear who are the first, second, and third.

It's normal for Ichiryu to have a barely satisfactory spiritual pressure but still be unable to develop his Bankai...but he should be worried!

Especially, Soi-Fong knew that if Ichiryu was really anxious, the Shihouin clan had corresponding measures.

"Well... yes, there are, but there are risks in using it, so I'd better just let nature take its course." Yilong said sincerely.

The Shifengyuan clan has a lot of “treasures”?

This is true. Although most of them have no chance to become Yilong's branch family, Yilong also knows it!

It seems that the "bandage" that Yoruichi just untied is a special kind of magic weapon...

If a Zanpakutō is entangled, it will not be able to exert its power. If a person is entangled... if Ichiryu, who is at least a third-level spiritual power, is entangled, he will be captured alive, so Ichiryu has to dodge.

Soi-Fong also thought that Ichiryu's encounter with Yoruichi just now was definitely not as simple as he said, otherwise Yoruichi would not have shown up specially!

Soi-Fong has always been skeptical about Ichi-Lung's strength.

However, she had never been able to find out anything by trying before, so she naturally understood that asking was useless, so she simply didn't say anything more.

After returning to the second squad's barracks, Yilong gave the big yellow croaker to the kitchen staff to prepare, and reminded them that this was a special meal for the captain.

Then Yilong called Kuimulang again—the short man who had helped Yilong clean up the bloodstains before...

"Yushiro, take off your mask first."

Note 1: The term "Lingwei" is only mentioned in the original story when Shiba Kaien is mentioned. It is known that [Shiba Kaien was a sixth-class student when he graduated].

Later in the sequel comic "The Jigoku-no-Ming-Ming Arc", an in-depth setting was given - [There are a total of twenty ranks of spiritual power, ordinary soldiers are at the twentieth rank, vice-captains are mostly at the fourth or fifth rank, third rank is the captain level, and the Shinigami (or other beings) with spiritual power above the third rank will not return to Soul Society after their death].

The above are official settings.

Now the "Yu Yi Ming Ming Chapter" has been suspended indefinitely and there is no time to wait for new settings. All other settings are supplements to the secondary settings of this book.
