You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

"No, I mean I have realized Bankai and I don't need to use Shikai anymore."

Tianbei: “………………………………what?”

Chapter 165: The Water Zanpakutō Heirloomed by the Aizen Family (4.5K)

hold head high!

hold head high!

hold head high!

Eight roaring water dragons, surrounded by thunder, rushed straight into the sky. The powerful impact caused the atmosphere to vibrate, and then they turned around and fell towards a certain point on the ground.

Rumble~~~!

The running water washed away everything around it wantonly. This originally fragile thing now roared like a mountain torrent and a tsunami. Each stream of water had a destructive power comparable to that of a high-level ghost. When it erupted at the same time, it could ravage everything!

boom……

After a period of raging, the water flow gradually subsided, not only disrupting the surrounding terrain, but also causing a small lake to appear in the barren desert of Hueco Mundo!

Tenbei Shusuke stood in the distance, watching the scene with his mouth open and muttering, and took a deep breath.

Actually, the amount of water is not that amazing, but the spiritual pressure condensed in it... Even if you haven't seen it in person, you can imagine how powerful it was.

Just by looking at it from a distance, my body seemed to be paralyzed by the lightning leaping in the water...

"Is this the power of the Water Zanpakutō Bankai? It's really powerful!"

He was originally skeptical about Iori's acquisition of Bankai. After all, Iori was so young. According to normal procedures, he should still be staying in school and studying hard. He had only been in Hueco Mundo for less than half a year and he had already learned Shikai and Bankai in one go... This was too outrageous.

Amagai personally trusts Iori very much. If he were asked to choose someone to entrust his life and death to, he would say the name "Aizen Iori" without hesitation.

However, no matter how much he thought highly of Iori, he couldn't believe such a thing...

But the scene before him completely overturned his common sense and left him speechless!

The power of this move just now, and the exaggerated spiritual pressure, who would believe that this is not Bankai!

And as we all know, Iori's "Shikai" ability is average, similar to Amagai's "Thunder and Fire", both of which can change the appearance of the shallow attack while using the power of attributes (water and fire) to attack.

Amagai also saw Iori release the water-attributed dragon-shaped sword pressure with his own eyes...

Now seeing the "Yakitsu Flood" that swallowed the heaven and earth, it is indeed of the same origin. There is nothing to doubt, but its power has been increased too much!

Generally speaking, the gap between Shikai and Bankai is 5 to 10 times, but in Amagai Shusuke's perception, Iori's Bankai is probably more than 20 times that of Shikai!

"Why do you have that expression?"

The boy in the Death Tyrant costume walked over leisurely, and seeing Tian Bei's face full of disbelief, he jokingly said, "Are you scared?"

"Ok!"

Tianbei came back to his senses and nodded honestly.

"This power... No, I never thought that you could actually cultivate Bankai... How long has it been since you successfully called your name in Shikai?!"

"Is it short?"

"Even a genius would need hundreds of years to practice Bankai!"

Tenbei's tone was extremely complicated: "In fact, most of the Shinigami will never touch the edge of Bankai in their lifetime... In comparison, you can no longer be called a genius, but a complete monster!"

"That's really serious~"

Iori said in a relaxed manner: "There are many things in this world that are beyond our knowledge. Don't speak so early. Maybe some people are born with Bankai-level spiritual pressure. Maybe some people can reach the captain level without relying on Shikai or Bankai... Everything is possible, isn't it?"

Tianbei frowned and said, “I don’t know what you are talking about, but among the people I know, your talent is undoubtedly the most amazing.

I originally thought I had good talent, but compared to you... Iori, you will definitely become one of the most important figures in Seireitei in the future - I'm sure of that!"

"You're too kind. My Bankai is too mediocre. It's just a pure attribute attack. Without any special abilities, it would be difficult for me to occupy a place at the top."

Iori smiled modestly and put away his sword: "But thank you for thinking so highly of me."

"Even if you say so... by the way, what about that just now?"

"Is the move too exaggerated?" Iori said seriously, "That's a move I developed with my Bankai. It requires concentration. Unlike Shikai, this one can only be used once or twice even if you use up your spiritual pressure."

"I see. That makes sense."

Tianbei was relieved: “I feel like a random stream of water can kill me… With such outrageous power, it’s normal to consume more.

Is the name "Mingjing Shisui·Yakitō"? The water-type Zanpakutō is named after the legendary water god, which is very descriptive."

"Ha, I think this name is a bit chuunibyou...chuunibyou means embarrassing."

Iori explained with a smile, then looked at the sheathed sword with emotion.

"I communicated with the sword spirit according to the method given by Saito-sama. Should I say I was lucky or unlucky? He was a very violent guy. And I don't know why he attacked me right away... I was almost killed."

"It turns out that there is such a rebellious sword spirit." Tianbei's face darkened, and then he relaxed after thinking of something. "But it seems that you have successfully tamed it."

"Well, I guess so." Iori scratched his head and didn't continue. Judging from his appearance, there must be a lot of tricks in his duel with the sword spirit... But Tenbei didn't mean to get to the bottom of it.

Everyone's Zanpakutō is different, and the way to gain recognition from the sword spirit and make it submit is also different. How to do it depends on personal style and ability, and others cannot learn it even if they want to.

And from Iori's description, the sword spirit he encountered was exactly the most dangerous type, and being able to master Bankai was purely a win in the gamble... I have to say that this guy is really lucky, he encountered such a thing just after mastering Bankai, and he still managed to survive it!

However, while Amagai felt scared, he couldn't help but feel happy for Iori.

Among the thousands of Shinigami in the Gotei 13, there are only a handful of individuals who can perform Bankai in the same era.

And once Bankai is achieved, the name of the god of death will be forever recorded in the history of Soul Society!

Under normal circumstances, learning Bankai is also one of the necessary conditions for becoming a captain.

Although Shinigami who mastered Shikai could be considered elite and could get a senior officer position with a little effort, they were only compared to middle and lower-level officers. However, those who mastered Bankai or captain level could ascend to the top in one step and immediately become decision-makers!

Although the Forty-Sixth Chamber has the highest authority in the Soul Society, the Gotei 13 is responsible for the daily operation of almost all specific affairs, including military, intelligence, and technology. The power of the captains can be said to be second only to that of the Forty-Sixth Chamber.

No matter what their origins were, whether they were commoners or lower nobles, once they became captains, they would have a transcendent status and would no longer be bound by class.

Iori is so young that it is hard to imagine that he would be entrusted with such great power and responsibility, but there is no doubt that he has already got half a ticket to the core circle!

If others saw their companions rising rapidly, they might feel jealous, but Amagai was not like that. Instead, he was happy for Iori from the bottom of his heart.

Young, determined, talented, humble and polite, respects his companions, and is also very handsome... In Amagai's opinion, the one who can climb to a high position should be someone as outstanding as Iori!

As for the status gap between the two sides, Tianbei doesn't care - he doesn't care about fame and fortune. At most, he has a desire to show off and wants his father to recognize him.

"Can you keep it a secret that I have achieved Bankai?"

Iori suddenly said this, leaving Amagai stunned.

"Why?" He was puzzled. "Isn't this a great thing? Although you don't have enough experience, as long as you hone your skills for a few more years, you can compete for the captain's position."

"No, I don't have such ambition."

The young man smiled slightly. "Each of the thirteen teams is responsible for a part of the important duties of the Soul Society. The captains are all pillars of the sky and beams of the sea. How can I, a student who was temporarily promoted from the academy, be qualified?"

"Iori...are you serious?"

Tenbei frowned. He didn't think that this was what Iori really said. "Are you worried about something? Don't worry, Lady Saito thinks highly of you. She will recommend you when necessary."

According to the mechanism of Soul Society, a new captain must not only learn Bankai (except the 11th Division), but also be recommended by three senior captains and demonstrate Bankai in front of them to prove his own strength and ability.

Amagai thought that Iori was considering his commoner background and lack of connections, so he couldn't find other captains to recommend him.

"Although the expeditionary force is not in the sequence of the Thirteenth Squadron, Lady Saito's status is equivalent to that of the squad leader. She will definitely support you!"

"…That's why I asked you to keep it a secret."

Iori shook his head slightly and said seriously: "This will cause trouble for Lord Saito!"

"What?" Tianbei was stunned.

"The expeditionary force is almost like a semi-exile. If Saito is very popular in the Seireitei, she won't be stationed here permanently."

Iori said earnestly, "And just as you said, my speed in learning Bankai is too abnormal, and I am not from a famous family like the Five Great Nobles. If the news spreads, it will easily cause jealousy."

"Jealous? Oh..." Tianbei suddenly realized.

He was not interested in the dirty business of fighting for power, so he didn't think about it at first. Iori's hint made him wake up instantly.

It is said that the first generation of the Gotei 13 was just a purely violent organization, but in the 1,800 years of evolution it has long since turned into a behemoth that encompasses multiple fields, and in fact rules the entire Soul Society and even the Soul Society.

There are huge conflicts of interest here. For example, the 4th Division controls most of the medical talents who can use advanced Kaido, and the 12th Division has launched many valuable inventions, and the economic value created is immeasurable.

In such a large Soul Society, there are only thirteen captain positions, so naturally they are very popular in everyone's eyes.

If there were no rigid threshold of "Bankai", a series of political dramas would definitely be staged in order to grab these positions!

Iori is a typical civilian Shinigami from Rukongai. Even if he has learned Bankai, he has no chance of promotion if there is no vacancy in Team 13.

Of course, Team Thirteen is ultimately a force-oriented organization, and as long as he challenges a duel, any captain must respond, or they will lose the respect of their fellow soldiers.

The 11th Division even replaced the previous one by killing the previous Kenpachi!

Especially now that we are in a war period, if Team 13 encounters any setbacks, a newcomer like Iori may be able to rise to the top...but his foundation is too shallow, and as the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, and he will definitely attract the jealousy of others.

——Amagai thought Iori was worried about this.

The shaggy-haired young man sighed, feeling sorry for Iori: "Are you really going to hide this from others? It's like letting a precious jewel be covered in dust."

"The value of the orb won't decrease just because it's covered in dust," Iori consoled him, "It's just a matter of waiting for a while so it won't seem so exaggerated. Besides, I'm still a member of the expeditionary force and I need to tide over the difficulties with everyone... Once it's revealed that I have Bankai, I'll most likely be transferred to the human world."

"You think so much, you are so perfect that it's scary sometimes.

Okay, don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you!"

Amagai shook his head in amusement, but he was still deeply moved by Iori's words. The young man in front of him was obviously capable of making great achievements, but he was willing to wait for his companions. What a noble character he had!

[He was probably impressed by my noble character, right?]

——When Iori thought of this, a trace of shame flashed through his heart.

In fact, he is not as noble as Amagai thinks. This Bankai is just a disguise of a Noble Phantasm. Together with the Shikai, they are all the sword skills of "Ame no Murasaki".

The reason why I told Tianbei this was to use him as an experiment to see if anyone could see through the tricks here.

For the sake of authenticity, he deliberately activated the water divinity of the sword itself when performing "Bankai", changed its surface color, and then released the spiritual pressure that had been restrained, creating the illusion that the spiritual pressure had doubled.

The result was very good. The abilities inherited from Shikai and Bankai, as well as Iori's skyrocketing spiritual pressure, made Amagai firmly believe in Iori's "Bankai"!

I will find a chance to "confess" to Saito later. If I can fool even this veteran captain, then he can openly say in Soul Society that he is a water-based Bankai...

"Oops! That's right!"

Tenbei suddenly remembered something and said with regret, "You shouldn't have told me that you have Bankai... What if I reveal it in my sleep?"

"Uh, cough!"

Iori laughed, thinking it was a big deal...

"I am also an ordinary person. Something worth celebrating should be spread out. I should find close friends and relatives to share the joy with."

"Huh?" Tianbei pointed at himself, "I was the first person you thought of?"

"I'm embarrassed to say that I don't have many male friends of my age or close to me... In Hueco Mundo, the only one that comes to mind is you, Amebe."

Iori scratched his head and smiled shyly, "I'm sorry to involve you in this matter... I hope it doesn't bother you that I treat you as my best friend without your permission?"

"Well!"

Tian Bei Xiuzhu took a deep breath and felt radiant.

"Of course not! What are you talking about? We are close friends who can support each other on the battlefield!"

Using the excuse of staying here to practice his Bankai, Iori sent Amagi away and watched him disappear behind the sand dunes for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief:

Almost played off!

At this time, a playful voice came:
