Food: I found Eri Nakiri in the world of Food Prisoners

The seven beasts from the neighboring Sixth Continent have an average attack power of over 4,000 and a level of over 1,000. While they may not be at the bottom in the culinary world, they are certainly in the lower-middle range.

However, with just over a thousand levels, he managed to become the overlord of a region.

This is the power of the Cellular Unification Method: it enables organisms to unleash combat power far exceeding their own cellular level.

However, this kind of burst of power is only useful before level 6,000. Once you reach level 6,000, the advantage this move brings becomes negligible.

This is why, even though Wish's cell level exceeded 6,000, it did not far surpass the other eight kings.

Each of the eight kings possessed extremely strong control over their power. It is estimated that all eight kings have completely mastered this cellular unification method, but only the Ape King incorporated it into his dance and spread it to the Seventh Continent.

Just like how the strong in the human world are all proficient in the art of food, at this level, proficiency in the art of food is almost the standard.

Xu Yong was naturally very happy to receive two rewards, and unsurprisingly, Mirajane and Rukia Kuchiki's side would be arriving soon as well.

At that time, the Food Ethics and Cell Unification Method will be further enhanced, and Xu Yong's combat power will become stronger and stronger.

Although his cell level was only around 500 at this time, Xu Yong felt that his actual combat strength was enough to contend with creatures at levels one or two thousand.

Of course, he wouldn't go looking for trouble with these creatures unless absolutely necessary; he's not some kind of battle maniac.

"Now try exiting the receiving mode and then receiving again to see if the food luck dissipates."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Yong added, "After all, according to Blanche, once a rainbow fish dies, it will randomly spawn in another place."

In other words, the fortune of food disappears with the death of the rainbow fish, and now the creature that receives the magic is essentially bound to the person who received the magic.

Xu Yong wasn't sure if Food Luck would think the Seven-Colored Fish was dead and move it away directly. Just because Food Luck was able to be preserved this time didn't mean it would work next time. Everyone needed to experiment with it.

After listening to Xu Yong's words, everyone felt that they made a lot of sense, so they all began to try to enter the receiving state again.

"How is it, Mr. Xu Yong? Is Shi Yun still operating?"

They couldn't detect the existence of the food-gathering phenomenon themselves, so they could only ask Xu Yong.

"It's still there, and the quantity hasn't decreased either. It seems that the food supply has been preserved."

Xu Yong nodded; his worries now seemed completely unnecessary.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the food luck had been preserved. If the food luck had determined that the seven-colored fish had died and thus been lost, there would have been nothing they could do.

Moreover, the number of rainbow fish is limited; there are only so many in total. If they were to become disposable items, they simply wouldn't last more than a few uses.

Just as everyone was exiting their receiving form, Rukia Kuchiki suddenly became somewhat dazed, and her aura also changed.

"What's wrong with Miss Kuchiki?"

Seeing Rukia Kuchiki's change, Mirajane was somewhat puzzled. Although receiving magic did indeed carry certain risks, receiving a creature stronger than oneself did not necessarily mean one could tame it.

Just like Elfman back then, he went berserk after forcibly receiving the Beastmaster's Soul.

However, the Rainbow Fish has no combat ability, and given Rukia Kuchiki's current strength, there shouldn't be any problems with her receiving it.

"This must be because the Zanpakuto summoned her into the consciousness space."

Xu Yong began, "Kuchiki Rukia is different from the others. While the others only have an unconscious gourmet demon within their consciousness space, Kuchiki Rukia also has Sode no Shirayuki born from her soul."

Chapter 98 Beautiful Bankai, Rukia Kuchiki in White Glow Punishment State

"A Zanpakuto? I almost forgot, there's another conscious soul within Ms. Kuchiki's consciousness space!"

Everyone remembered that the main reason was that everyone's strength had increased. Although the Bankai of Zanpakuto could amplify spiritual pressure by five to ten times, there was still an upper limit.

After all, all Zanpakuto were created by Nimaiya Oetsu. Although their potential is not low, it is definitely no greater than that of the Soul King.

Although the sword spirit Sode no Shirayuki was born from the soul of Kuchiki Rukia, it had already reached its peak state when it was born.

The power limit of the sword spirits has been locked; they are merely guiding those who wield the Zanpakuto to develop and master this power.

Once born, the sword spirit is an independent soul entity. The person wielding the Zanpakuto becoming stronger will not affect the sword spirit, nor will it make the sword spirit stronger.

So even though everyone arrived in the world of Bleach, they didn't think about getting Zanpakuto. Only Rukia Kuchiki, whose Sode no Shirayuki already existed within her, naturally couldn't be eliminated.

"Sleeve White Snow? Why did you suddenly pull me into this?"

After entering the consciousness space, Rukia Kuchiki couldn't help but ask a question.

"There's a reason I brought you in. Here, take the Bankai and use it, although it doesn't seem to be of much use to you now!"

As Sode no Shirayuki spoke, she looked at Kuchiki Rukia with a resentful gaze, a gaze that made Kuchiki Rukia very uncomfortable.

"Bankai? You just taught me that?"

Hearing this, Rukia Kuchiki was somewhat bewildered. You see, in addition to reaching the required level of strength, one also needs the approval of their Zanpakuto to release the Bankai.

Otherwise, he would be like Kenpachi Zaraki, who was strong but couldn't hear the sound of his Zanpakuto or release it.

Therefore, the relationship with one's Zanpakuto is very important. The captains of Soul Society improve their own strength very quickly, but it also takes them a lot of time to master Bankai. It's not that they are not up to standard, but that they spend all that time getting along with their Zanpakuto.

Rukia Kuchiki felt that she had only recently learned Shikai, and learning Bankai would probably be a very long process.

Although the surge in power rendered Bankai almost useless, as a Shinigami, his desire for Bankai would not diminish.

After all, back in the Shinigami Academy, everyone had immense respect for captain-level Shinigami, since there were only a dozen or so captain-level Shinigami in the entire Seireitei.

Mastering Bankai is one of the keys to becoming a captain; what Shinigami doesn't yearn to learn Bankai?

"What else? Wait a few more decades like the other Zanpakuto in Soul Society? Judging from your current rate of improvement, it probably won't even take a few decades. The combined power of all the Shinigami in Soul Society is probably not as great as yours." "Even now, learning Bankai has almost no effect on you. Bankai is useless to you. I can't help you at all."

As a soul born from Kuchiki Rukia, Sode no Shirayuki naturally serves Kuchiki Rukia wholeheartedly, just as any Zanpakuto does.

However, Zanpakuto are ultimately man-made, and since they are man-made, they will naturally have flaws. Therefore, in the original work, Zanpakuto both betrayed and were stolen, making them almost double agents.

Sode no Shirayuki wanted to help Kuchiki Rukia, but Kuchiki Rukia's strength increased too quickly, especially after yesterday's incident, when Kuchiki Rukia's cell level was raised to over 400.

This level was terrifyingly high, rendering Sode no Shirayuki's power instantly useless. Knowing she couldn't help Kuchiki Rukia, Sode no Shirayuki was also somewhat distressed and chose to give up, so she planned to teach Kuchiki Rukia her Bankai.

Just as Rukia Kuchiki was about to say something, the name Sode no Shirayuki Bankai suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Swastika's punishment for Baixia...!"

At the same time, Rukia Kuchiki regained consciousness and subconsciously used her Bankai.

The next second, the ice and snow began to spread, but Xu Yong had already sensed this, so he directly used his soul power to suppress the power that Rukia Kuchiki unleashed within a certain range.

This also meant that Rukia Kuchiki's Bankai didn't cause much of a stir. However, once the spiritual pressure burst out, Rukia Kuchiki was completely transformed.

Rukia Kuchiki's Zanpakuto is known as the most beautiful Zanpakuto in Soul Society. Its beauty is not very noticeable in its Shikai form, but it becomes clearly visible in its Bankai form.

After achieving Bankai, Rukia Kuchiki's clothes became similar to those worn by Shirayuki Sode, and her black hair turned into an ice-blue color with a hint of pink.

Her entire demeanor underwent a complete transformation, and it must be said that Rukia Kuchiki in this form is absolutely irresistible.

However, her Bankai would have been a very dangerous Bankai in the past, because once used, not only the enemy would be frozen, but also herself.

In the original story, he made a slight movement, and as a result, his fingers were covered in wounds. It's estimated that if he had made a bigger movement, his body would have shattered into pieces.

However, with her current physical condition, she is fully capable of withstanding such freezing power. As for raising the temperature, there is naturally temperature magic, which can be said to be tailor-made for Kuchiki Rukia.

After discovering her physical condition, Rukia Kuchiki began using the magic. Her body gradually warmed up, and while she still maintained her Bankai appearance, she was able to move freely and no longer had to worry about being frozen into a pile of ice shards by her own Bankai.

"Rukia, how did you suddenly activate Bankai?"

Xu Yong asked the question that everyone wanted to ask. Upon hearing this, Kuchiki Rukia also thought of Sode no Shirayuki's condition. She hadn't expected that her strength had increased so quickly that she had completely ruined Sode no Shirayuki.

"The thing is..."

Rukia Kuchiki told everyone about Shirayuki's situation.

"After you acquire Gourmet Cells, the power of your Zanpakuto will inevitably fall behind your progress and become unable to provide any assistance, which is certainly not a good thing for the Zanpakuto."

"However, Rukia, you can give Sode no Shirayuki a suggestion: let him try to control the gourmet demon inside you."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Yong spoke.

"Let Shirayuki control the Gourmet Demon?"

Rukia Kuchiki was stunned upon hearing this, as were the others.

"That's right. The food demons within all of us are unconscious. The advantage is that we can use their power at will, but the downside is that our combat experience is far inferior to theirs."

"At the same time, if we send the Gourmet Demons out to fight, then we are controlling the Gourmet Demons' bodies to fight."

"Sode Shirayuki was born from your soul. She is an independent individual, but she also shares the same origin as you. So you can try to let Sode Shirayuki control the Gourmet Demon."

"If we succeed, then Sode no Shirayuki will still be your strongest support."

Xu Yong spoke up, saying that he was just giving Xiu Baixue a suggestion. Anyone who has mastered the power of food can multitask, so they can freely control the food demons to fight.

However, the main problem right now is that Sode Shirayuki is becoming withdrawn and resigned, so Xu Yongcai came up with this idea. If it succeeds, then Sode Shirayuki won't become withdrawn.

"It's a success! I can indeed try to control this power!"

Just as Xu Yong finished speaking, a head suddenly materialized on Kuchiki Rukia's body. This head was the head of the Gourmet Demon inside Kuchiki Rukia's body.

However, it's now Sode no Shirayuki who's controlling the Gourmet Demon to speak.

"Sode no Shirayuki? You can really control this guy!"

Rukia Kuchiki never expected that Shirayuki Sode would learn how to do what Xu Yong had just suggested.

"I also gave it a try. It's precisely because I was born from your soul that I can control this guy. Alright, I won't waste any more time. Call me when you need to fight. I'm going back now, otherwise your calories and body won't last long."

"Also, thank you very much for your guidance, Mr. Xu Yong!"

After saying that, the Gourmet Demon's head disappeared.

"Hiss... This is just a head, and in the time it took to say a few words, I've burned so many calories, and I'm feeling so tired!"

At this moment, Rukia Kuchiki also noticed her physical condition.

"Once the Gourmet Demon appears in the outside world, it will be in its prime, with its combat power at its peak."

"However, the Gourmet Demon is using this power to consume your calories. If you consume too much, your body will be completely drained. Your current cell level is only a little over 400, which is not enough to support the Gourmet Demon for long."

"However, the power of the Gourmet Demon is enough for just a moment. As long as the opponent isn't too overpowered, it's perfectly sufficient."

Xu Yong began to explain that in the original story, Toriko used healing water to bring his body to its peak condition and then ate the fruit of the Air Tree, but it could only sustain him for a few minutes in his fight against the Blue Demon and the Horse King.

Moreover, once Horse King attacks Toriko, his host, then the Blue Demon will have no way to stop him.

Toriko had spent some time in the Gourmet World at that time, so his cell level was naturally not low. However, even so, he could only let the Blue Oni fight for a short while.

The Gourmet Demon inside Kuchiki Rukia wasn't as strong as the Blue Oni, but it wasn't much weaker either. So, the Gourmet Demon only needed a few words to make Kuchiki Rukia feel something clearly.

Even if they don't fight, staying out a little longer is a burden for Kuchiki Rukia. Only when Kuchiki Rukia's physical abilities continue to improve can the Gourmet Devil stay outside for a longer period of time.

"So using Gourmet Demons in battle consumes so much energy! No wonder you've been forbidding us from using them in battle!"

Having experienced it firsthand, Rukia Kuchiki understood why Xu Yong had repeatedly warned them not to use the power of the Gourmet Demons carelessly.

Indeed, using the power of the Gourmet Demon is a real burden for them, even now. If they were below level 100, their bodies might have collapsed the moment the Gourmet Demon appeared.

“That’s right, but that was before. Now you can try it out. After all, you need to know how much energy it takes to fight using Gourmet Demon. With this understanding, you can better deal with danger when I’m not around.”

Xu Yong spoke up, saying that although he didn't think he would be separated from the others, nothing in this world is absolute, and just in case, he needed everyone to have the ability to protect themselves.

Their unique advantage lies in their ability to directly utilize the power of gourmet demons in battle.

After all, the food demons inside other people's bodies are self-aware. Not all food demons are satisfied with their hosts, or even willingly let their hosts eat them and give up the chance to be resurrected.

Many gourmet demons, upon discovering that they don't get along well with their hosts and that the hosts' potential is not high, would rather the hosts die as soon as possible, because there is no possibility of resurrection with such hosts.

They naturally wouldn't help the host in dangerous situations.

"Should we summon the Gourmet Demon now?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, because Xu Yong had always emphasized not to do it, so they didn't dare to. But now it seemed that their bodies could actually withstand such exertion.

So, everyone began to unleash the power of the Gourmet Demon, and the Gourmet Demon spread from their bodies. However, after it spread a little bit, everyone stopped their plan to continue unleashing the power of the Gourmet Demon.

Because they discovered that their bodies were losing calories at an alarming rate, a rate at which they could deplete their calorie reserves in no time.

"What terrifying energy expenditure! Just a little bit of energy was released, and it didn't even last long, yet it caused such depletion. Even if I stayed outside for half a minute, my body would probably collapse."

After Mirajane discovered that she was burning calories extremely quickly, she immediately retracted the food demon into her body. Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto did the same.

They had already witnessed the immense strain that came with the food demon leaving its body.

As Xu Yong said, although they can use the power of the Gourmet Demon at this stage, it is best not to waste time. The best way to release the power of the Gourmet Demon is to unleash the strongest attack in an instant and then immediately withdraw it.

If the Gourmet Demon's attack can't finish off its opponent, then its chances of survival are very low.

At this moment, everyone was also calculating how long the Gourmet Demon could be released based on the calories they had consumed, so that they could plan the subsequent battle.

Afterwards, Xu Yong didn't rush to take everyone to find ingredients. Instead, he stayed in the Demon Food World for a few days. Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto also went to learn cooking techniques from Blanche. As for Xu Yong, he also sought out the regeneration master Dina and the gourmet hunter Noshu.
