In a dark bedroom without any windows, Duanmu was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his Zanpakutō across his legs and slowly opened his eyes.
"Still unable to communicate?"
Duan Mu shook his head slightly and looked at the system interface. Although his spiritual pressure felt basically unchanged, the panel had improved by more than ten points compared to last night.
Taking the long cloth bag on the side and packing the Zanpakutō, Duan Mu's sinister aura gradually disappeared and he returned to his gentle and elegant appearance.
Lately, he spends most of his time sleeping with his sword meditation at night.
Although blade Zen is far less stable than developing spiritual patterns in terms of increasing spiritual pressure, and it may not be able to increase a few points of spiritual pressure proficiency for several consecutive nights, but continuous practice of blade Zen can gradually increase the Zanpakutō proficiency on the system panel.
.
Zanpakutō: Advanced
Duan Mu looked at the long cloth bag in his hand, and a trace of confusion flashed between his eyebrows.
The initial understanding of the Zanpakutō requires 'dialogue' and 'synchronization' with the Zanpakutō. The blade Zen that Duan Mu has been doing these days is precisely to enhance the synchronization between himself and the Zanpakutō, thereby improving his proficiency.
But the conversation…
But he didn't do it, not because Duanmu rejected the Zanpakutō, or because the Zanpakutō rejected Duanmu, but because he couldn't communicate at all!
Thinking of this, Duan Mu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
As soon as he enters the spiritual world, no matter how he tries to communicate, he can only hear the laughter of children coming from all directions, and then...
He will be forcibly pulled into the game, playing with a child whose shadow is only vaguely visible. Before exiting the spiritual world, this game will continue forever.
What annoys Duan Mu the most is...
It's okay to lose to the opponent on purpose, but once Duan Mu accidentally wins, the opponent will go crazy for no reason. What was originally a child's play instantly turns into an extremely bloody horror game, which is simply the word "unreasonable".
Incisively and vividly.
This confirmed Duan Mu's previous guess...
That guy is essentially a willful, lawless, annoying, naughty kid who has no way to communicate with him!!
Duan Mu tried many methods, from losing on purpose to winning now, but all ended in failure, which made 'him' become more and more unreasonable.
"Are they similar or different?"
Duan Mu murmured to himself, he really couldn't figure out what was wrong with his communication method.
Recently, he has been thinking about whether he should skip the 'dialogue' stage and directly let him surrender to him. To put it bluntly, he would skip the practice of Shijie and start the basic practice of Swastika.
Different from the dialogue and synchronization of Shikai, the practice of Swastika requires the Zanpakutō to 'concrete' and 'submit'. This stage normally takes a very long time to practice, but this time can be achieved through other methods.
be shortened.
——Transform into a divine body!
One of the special spiritual tools with stealth and maneuverability. Its function is to forcibly copy and materialize the Zanpakutō's body. It is an essential tool for quick realization of the swastika.
If you are a general covert mobile member, you only need to submit an application to get the qualification to use it.
But for Duan Mu, it was not convenient to submit the application.
Because Duan Mu's Zanpakutō is still in a 'sealed' state in the eyes of others, this is the rule set by Room 46 when Duan Mu was given a shallow beating. If Duan Mu violates it, Room 46 will definitely not mind using it.
to cause trouble for him.
However, it is not impossible to obtain it through channels other than covert maneuvers. After all, the creator of the Divine Transformation Body is none other than the former captain of the 12th Division, Urahara Kisuke!
Duanmu once thought about whether to go to the real world and get a Zenshin Body from Urahara Kisuke, but after carefully reviewing the information about the Zenshen Body during a secret maneuver, he gave up this idea.
Because the Zenshin Body cannot be used once it is first unlocked, if you want to use the Zenshin Body to manifest the Zanpakutō, two prerequisites must be met.
The first condition: Only when the user has the potential ability to manifest the Zanpakutō, can this method be used to forcibly bypass the time required to practice the manifestation.
The second condition: During use, a person with captain-level spiritual pressure is required to assist and maintain the embodied existence with his own spiritual pressure.
The second point is not difficult for Duan Mu, he just needs to ask Sister Konghe to help him.
But the first condition is to exclude Duan Mu from using the Divine Transformation Body.
With only synchronization and no progress in the conversation, he did not have the potential ability to manifest the Zanpakutō, at least not until he could communicate with the Zanpakutō.
certainly……
For Duan Mu, there is an easier way.
That is to simply not have any dialogue and just use experience points to force ‘him’ to surrender!!
Due to the particularity of the system, it is not difficult to do this, but it may permanently lose the possibility of communication, making it impossible to increase the proficiency of the Zanpakutō; however, this can also be made up for through the system, as long as you continue
By investing experience points, you can make the Zanpakutō stronger, completely ignoring or even erasing the Zanpakutō's own will.
It's just that doing this requires consuming too many experience points.
If possible, Duan Mu still wants to try to communicate with him.
Looking up at the time, Duan Mu tied the seal of the long bag tightly, put on a new set of black work clothes, and walked out of the bedroom.
Ignoring the greetings in the tavern, Duan Mu went straight to the bar.
"Brother Duan!"
Yanjiu's four younger brothers stood up, bowed to Duan Mu, and gave up their seats in front of the bar.
"Duan Mu, tell me the truth."
Yanjiu looked at Duan Mu carefully and said with a strange look: "Are you hiding a woman upstairs?"
Hiding women?
Duan Mu was slightly startled.
"Otherwise, why would I wake up every morning with a tired look on my face, as if I'd been toiled all night long?"
"..." Duan Mu.
In a way, he really was tortured by 'people' all night long.
"It's just practice." Duan Mu replied casually, then he took the noodle soup handed by Mao Yue and started to drink it. While drinking, he said: "By the way, Brother Yanjiu, are you coming earlier and earlier? Yes.
Time is running here to occupy a position, why not practice more, it feels like you haven't practiced at all recently."
"Do you think everyone is a cultivator like you?"
Yanjiu rolled his eyes at Duan Mu. He really didn't understand why Duan Mu was so keen on becoming stronger.
He is obviously very busy every day, but as long as he has free time, besides practicing, he just makes friends with women everywhere, as if he only has three options in his life: practicing, making friends, and working. Although his eldest sister always urges him to
He practiced more, but he repeatedly persuaded Duan Mu to combine work and rest...
"And I'm not here to hold a seat, but to work!"
Shiba Iwajiu patted his chest and said proudly: "Recently, I no longer call myself myself. Many people in Western Rukongai call me the 'Master House Order Clearing Expert'. The people who are looking for me to work now are looking for you."
There are too many people.”
"Yes, yes, everything our brother Yanjiu said is right!"
Duan Mu smiled and did not refute, because it was true that many tasks that did not require technical requirements and only required physical strength were mostly solved by Yanjiu and his younger brother.
There are also a small number of bad guys in the pub who don't have any money to drink, so they take it secretly.
The recent tavern gives people a vague feeling of the adventurers' association in an RPG game.
Duan Mu did not stop this.
Anyway, those entrusted with manual labor, whether it is Rock Eagle or those evil people, can easily handle it, and it will not ruin the reputation of Wanshiwu.
Duan Mu, on the other hand, handles some high-end commissions within Seireitei that require technology.
It is worth mentioning that...
During this year, Duan Mu has opened all the offices in the north, south, south, and south. The heads of the north and south divisions are Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao...these two people were captured by Nishijin Ori.
The names of the Great Evils, Jinjiao and Yinjiao, were not their original names, but Duan Mu was too lazy to remember their names, so he casually chose them to make it easier to remember.
The person in charge of the eastern part has not yet been decided, so Duan Mu asked Takahashi, whom everyone liked, to temporarily play the role of receptionist.
Therefore, Duan Mu did not pay much attention to the fact that most of the commissions from the west were intercepted.
As for Nishijin Ori, Ha Niju and others, they couldn't wait any longer and had already led their troops into the east, saying that they would take the entire Rukongai under their control for Duan Mu.
But it is said that it encountered a lot of unexpected resistance. It seemed that some people were unwilling to let Duanmu's power dominate the entire Rukongai. Suddenly, many people who were originally unknown but had very powerful spiritual pressure appeared in the east.
Regarding this, Duan Mu had some vague guesses in his mind.
Anyway, it is either the Forty-sixth Chamber or the Gotei 13, and the possibility of it being a noble force cannot be ruled out.
Although all three of them look down on Rukongai and regard the residents of Rukongai as pariahs who can be killed at any time, there are many talented people in the areas with lower numbers, and there are quite a few people in the private armies trained by the nobles.
They are all recruited from areas with lower numbers.
Duan Mu didn't feel worried at all about this.
Because today's Nishijin Ori's strength can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, and there are faint signs of breaking through to the captain level.
Maybe it was because the memory that Zaraki Kenpachi once brought to him was too frightening. Over the years, he himself has been huddled in the West 80 District, with little progress in strength; but the second battle with Zaraki Kenpachi, and the battle with Madarame Ikkaku
, although he lost extremely completely, it actually made him change his original mentality and get out of his psychological shadow.
After fighting all the way, his spiritual pressure intensity can be said to have increased by leaps and bounds.
He also replaced his original double ax with a long sword, claiming that he would follow the path of Zaraki Kenpachi.
With his strength, unless the vice-captain of the Gotei 13 took action personally, there would be no problem.
In addition, under the guidance of Duan Mu, Yu Erzhong has become more and more proficient in mastering the ghost path and the return path. When the two of them work together, the new forces that have emerged will only make Nishijin Ori even more excited.
Thinking of this, Duan Mu's expression became a little strange.
Who do you think you are? The overlord of Rukongai?
Duan Mu swears to God that he really has never thought about ruling the entire Rukongai, let alone taken any action to do so.
but……
Nishijin Ori and Ha Niju, as well as Ooku and the others, happened to be using the name of "Duan Mu" to kill people and set fire to the area behind the Rukongai number.
As soon as their names are mentioned, some people will say that these people are the right-hand men of the ‘Great Evil Duan Mu’!!
Recently, even people with stealth tactics have begun to pay attention to Nishijin Ori, because his growth rate is too rapid.
However, because of Duan Mu's relationship, we didn't plan to do anything to him. We just conducted basic surveillance on him to prevent him from doing anything harmful to the Seireitei.
And those big villains keep in mind the rules set by Duan Mu. The so-called rule of Rukongai only targets the areas with lower numbers. Those stable areas are not affected at all. Otherwise, even if Duan Mu is here, Nishijin Ori and the others will be regarded as unworthy.
to remove stabilizing factors.
After all, no matter how much they look down on the untouchables of Rukongai, those who are above and beyond have to admit that Rukongai is the Gotei 13's largest talent market.
People from areas with lower numbers are not included in the recruitment criteria for the Gotei Thirteenth Team.
Again, the Gotei 13 is a noble organization, and there must be no unsuitable people among it.
To put it more bluntly...
Those high-ranking people in Room 46 would never allow anyone in the Gotei Thirteen who might threaten them, otherwise they would not be so repulsive and fearful of Zaraki Kenpachi, and there would not be a prison like the Maggot's Nest.
.
For them, it would be best if all the ‘unfit untouchables’ in the lower-numbered areas die!!
Of course, not everyone looks down upon the villains in the lower-numbered areas.
Recently, that guy from Madarame Kazuo often comes to the tavern to recruit team members, and with his efforts, he has actually recruited a lot of team members from here.
For that matter…
Captain Yamamoto had a completely laissez-faire attitude. Although the Forty-sixth Chamber repeatedly reprimanded them, Kenpachi Zaraki ignored them. This can be said to be the privilege of the title "Kenpachi". There was once someone
Choosing to become Kenpachi for this privilege.
What's more, the majority of Team 11 are guys from lower-numbered areas. From the beginning to the end, these people are not for any king or prince, but simply become the Shinigami to follow Zaraki.
Gudu Gudu~~
Duan Mu picked up the bowl, drank the noodle soup in one gulp, and asked, "Are Shino and the others here?"
"I'm already waiting for you upstairs." Uoyue replied.
Duan Mu nodded. The Zhi Nai he mentioned was the latest batch of students from the Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy. Duan Mu did not cancel the commission for the Death God cram school, but has been working hard to run it. Over the years, he has also
He cultivated many talents for the Gotei 13, and these people all had a great impression of Duanmu.
Unknowingly, without Duan Mu himself being aware of it, he actually had a certain amount of power within the Seireitei.
Although these people are scattered among various divisions, once they are unified together, they can barely be regarded as a good force, and many of them choose to follow Duan Mu and join in the covert maneuver.
It is worth mentioning that...
The full name of Shino in Duanmu's mouth is Madarame Shino.
That's right, it's Madarame's Madarame. According to her own words, she seems to be Madarame's younger sister or cousin.
The reason why I say it seems is because she and the Ikkaku clan are repeatedly killing people all day long in Rukongai. In short, they are a familial group of evildoers! Their parents died one after another before the two of them could understand, and the two of them were constantly sent away.
Being raised by relatives makes them unclear about the correct relationship.
but……
The blood relationship between the two people can still be determined, and the particularly conspicuous high foreheads are exactly the same.

Well, I have been transferred to another job...
In the future, it will be changed to second shift, that is, working from 5pm to 1am. The newly transferred work station will probably last a long time before the shift can be changed.
The update time will need to be changed in the future, to be updated during the day or after one o'clock in the morning.
But it’s not bad to update during the day. At least you don’t have to upload it all the time and then modify it... modifying hundreds of words at every turn...
