Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

The halo spread out in a circular shape, pushing the soldiers who were unable to move out of the way.

Immediately afterwards, four light screens flashed by, isolating the explosion in the field.

"boom----"

Outside the light curtain, Long Tao Zhang Er flashed out, his eyes revealing fear and unwillingness.

The spider web field constructed by [Spider Hunter] has disappeared with the horrific explosion in the field.

"Bankai? It's actually Bankai?"

"How can this be……"

Just as he was in disbelief and muttering to himself.

Soi Fong appeared from behind him.

"puff--"

As the sound of flesh being pierced by a sharp object was heard, a gorgeous pattern appeared on Long Tao Zhang Er's vest.

【Bee pattern】

"when?"

Long Tao Zhang Er looked back in disbelief.

I saw Soi-Fong gathering her fist and gathering her strength—

Then, punch!

The fist tip, flowing with the ghost spiritual pressure, suddenly hit the place where the [Bee Flower Pattern] appeared just now.

"boom--"

With the sound of explosion, Long Tao Zhang Er was knocked away.

Chapter 7: Third-class spiritual power, Bankai, captain level!

In the attic in the distance, three figures were sitting at the tea table watching the battle.

"Instantly activate the second high-sequence binding method, rescue the soldiers in the nick of time, and still have enough energy to isolate the explosion."

"I admire you. You are worthy of being the captain's favorite disciple."

The beautiful woman's lips parted slightly as she commented.

Although she expressed her admiration, the woman lowered her brows and looked only at the tea in front of her without making eye contact.

She knelt politely, her long hair braided in front of her chest.

"Oh my, you really flatter me, Captain Unohana."

The man who answered spoke incoherently and pretended to wipe his sweat.

"I'm already scrambling and sweating."

After saying that, he picked up the bamboo hat on the table and fanned himself with cool air.

He was not dressed like the woman opposite him, he was wearing a white haori over a Shinigami uniform.

Instead, she ostentatiously put on a pink embroidered yukata and tucked the haori inside.

"Captain Kyoraku, there's no need to be so modest."

"If I take action, I will not let the soldiers escape unscathed."

The old man with a serious face and white hair sat upright. In addition to the white haori, he also wore a precious scarf called "Silver and White Wind Flower Shade".

"Oh, oh, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Kuchiki."

Kyoraku Shunsui was laughing and looked very unruly.

The three of them chatted from time to time, watching the explosion in the distance gradually subside.

The smoke and dust cleared, and a figure was knocked out of the field.

Another petite female Grim Reaper stood in the middle of the field.

A medical team member rushed towards the two.

"It seems the outcome has been decided."

Kyoraku Shunsui picked up the teacup, feeling contented.

At this moment, a burly figure appeared and bowed slightly:

"Second Division Vice Captain, Omaeda Nozomi, greets the three captains!"

Then, he sat aside, clasped his hands together and rubbed them together, and asked with an apologetic smile:

"I wonder what the three captains have decided?"

"I came here mainly to ensure the safety of the soldiers."

The captain of the fourth division, Unohana Retsu, placed a new teacup and added tea with her bare hands.

Then she gently pushed the teacup towards where Omaeda Kiyoshi was sitting.

Xi Zhijin expressed his gratitude and took it respectfully.

"Fortunately, no one was seriously injured. I won't say anything else."

After saying that, Unohana Retsu closed his eyes slightly, drank his tea, and said no more.

On the other side, the captain of the Sixth Division, Kuchiki Ginling, stroked his beard and said:

"In my opinion, the third seat of the second squad has indeed reached the level of third-class spiritual power."

"But why does this Bankai give people a sense of instability?"

Upon hearing this, Division 8 Captain Kyoraku Shunsui smiled apologetically and took over the conversation to explain:

"Ah, Mr. Kuchiki, this is my fault."

"I was in a hurry when I came here and forgot to explain."

"When Vice Captain Ohmaeda submitted his application, he also attached a report—"

"Sai Feng, the third commander of the Second Division, was seriously injured in the incident a while ago and has not yet fully recovered."

"But it was also during this opportunity that she learned Bankai by chance, just half a month ago."

Kyoraku Shunsui put on his hat and winked at Nozomi:

"Vice-Captain Ohmaeda, the Second Division is full of talented people. Congratulations in advance!"

Xi Zhijin expressed his gratitude.

Xiumu Yinling, who was standing by, nodded when she heard this.

"I see, that explains it."

He looked at the other two captains and then coughed lightly:

"Then, in my opinion, the third seat of the Second Division is Soi Fong."

"He is a third-class spiritual power, and has acquired Bankai."

"You are now qualified to take the captain's assessment."

"I will put our opinions into written form and submit them to tomorrow's captain's meeting for discussion."

Omaeda Nozomi smiled.

"So good, so good!"

"Thank you so much, captains!"

Nozomi Ohmaeda is extremely motivated.

After discussing tactics with Soi Fong the day before yesterday afternoon, he rushed to the First Division and submitted an application for Soi Fong's captain assessment overnight.

He also suggested that the captain in charge of the assessment could use this challenge to observe Soi Fong.

In addition, he also hopes that one of the three assessment captains will be Captain Unohana Retsu of the Fourth Division.

There are good reasons:

"The Soi Fong Bankai is extremely powerful and difficult to control at first. It might injure the soldiers watching the battle."

The first team was also very powerful. In addition to Unohana Retsu, they also designated two captains, Kuchiki Ginrin and Kyoraku Shunsui, to come together.

In Soul Society, there are two ways to become a captain:

First, pass the captain examination in the presence of three or more captains, including the chief captain.

Second, receive joint recommendations from six or more captains and be recognized by three or more other captains.

Of course, there is actually a third way:

In the presence of more than 200 team members, defeat the current captain and take the captaincy.

However, in the past few hundred years, all the captains who became captains in this way were from the 11th Squadron.

It's almost become the exclusive team rule of the 11th Squadron.

So now, the default methods are the above two.

However, due to the impact of the "Captain Hollowification" incident some time ago, more than half of the captain positions in Soul Society are now vacant.

Including the captain-general, there are only six captains in the Gotei 13 at the moment.

Therefore, the method of joint recommendation is not within the scope of consideration.

"Well, anyway, the captain took Oniganjo from the 11th Division and Ukitake from the 13th Division to examine another applicant."

As he was getting up to leave, Kyoraku Shunsui suddenly remembered something and stopped to explain to Omaeda Kiyoshin.

"Originally, the old man was supposed to be here, but now is a special period, and we are really short of manpower - so he asked me to investigate on his behalf."

"According to the rules, whether you have passed the captain's assessment will have to be determined by the captain-in-chief after you report back today."

"When the time comes, Soi-Fong might need to go to the First Squadron."

Omaeda said he understood, then asked curiously:

"I wonder who the captain is going to inspect?"

"Among the current Shinigami of the Gotei 13, I can't think of anyone else who can use Bankai."

Kyoraku Shunsui scratched his head and said:

"Actually, I was also surprised. The one who applied was Mayuri Kurotsuchi from the 12th Division."

"He said he has a way to use Bankai, but he just needs the Captain's approval. He's so mysterious."

He spread his hands:

"But you also know that Kurotsuchi Mayuri is a freak. He's been the deputy director of the Technology Development Bureau for many years. God knows what he can come up with."

Omaeda Nozomi nodded, agreeing deeply.

The young Shinigami may not know this, but Kyoraku Shunsui and Ōmaeda Kiyoshin are already veterans of the Gotei 13.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri was a "talent" who had spent nearly a hundred years in the "Maggot Nest" before being bailed out by Urahara Kisuke.

The Maggot Nest is a special prison under the jurisdiction of the Secret Mobile Prison Management Team, which is specifically used to house and control people who are judged by the Soul Society to be potentially dangerous.

There only needs to be potential danger, no criminal facts are required.

There are even rumors that Kurotsuchi Mayuri was thrown into the "Maggot Nest" by Shutara Senjumaru himself when he was promoted to Squad Zero.

This adds a mysterious aura to the current third-in-command of the 12th Division and deputy director of the Technical Development Bureau.

Kyoraku Shunsui continued:

"Also, Division 12 isn't like Division 2, and you, Nozomi, are in charge."

"That's the squad whose captain and vice-captain both 'defected'."

"I'm afraid Kurotsuchi Mayuri's life isn't going to be easy these days."

"He is a third-class spiritual power, and has acquired Bankai."
