Walking in the fifth team's building, Duan Mu responded to everyone who greeted him one by one. When he first arrived here, he was quite nervous.
But the more times he came, Duan Mu gradually got used to it.
and……
"Boss Duan Mu, I'm going to trouble you again this time."
A soft voice came, and when he looked up, he saw a pretty girl waiting outside the martial arts hall. This girl was none other than Hinamori Momo, the vice-captain of the fifth division.
"Vice Captain Hinamori Momo."
A gentle smile suddenly appeared on Duan Mu's face.
By teaching the members of Division 5 here, you can also gain Momo Hinamori's favorability.
"How many times have I told you."
Hinamori Momo shook her head: "Just call me by my name. There is no need to call me vice-captain. You are not a member of our fifth division."
"Sorry, I'm used to it."
Duan Mu chuckled, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Perhaps because of too much yearning, or because of deliberate imitation, Hinamori Momo's personality is very similar to the ordinary Aizen. Every time he talks to her, Duan Mu feels like he is facing Aizen; but aside from these,
Hinamori Momo is very responsible for her work, and has a gentle and simple personality, which makes her deeply loved by the members of the fifth division.
There are even many graduates of the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy who choose to join the fifth division just to get close to Hinamori Momo.
However, these have nothing to do with Duan Mu.
[‘Hinamori Momo’’s current favorability level: 41.]
A favorability score of over 40 is not high, but it is not low either.
After all, before coming to the Fifth Division as a coach, Hinamori Momo's favorability towards him was not high, and it just barely stayed at 22 points.
After coming to the Fifth Division as an instructor, her favorability towards him has been steadily increasing.
Moreover, besides her, there are many female team members in the fifth division.
Although the experience value provided by a single person is not high, it adds up to a good income, which makes Duan Mulai come to the fifth team more frequently.
"Right."
Duan Mu rummaged through his bag and took out a book and handed it to Hinamori Momo: "When I chatted with the vice-president last time, she told me that you liked the Suzuki Princess very much, so I put it in my library
I looked for it, but I didn't expect it to actually exist." After that, Duan Mu handed the book to Hinamori Momo.
Hinamori Tao's eyes lit up when she heard this, but after hesitating for a moment, she did not reach out to pick it up.
Duan Mu smiled when he saw this: "Of course, I borrowed this from you. I also like this book very much, and I really can't bear to give it to you."
Hearing this, Hinamori Momo, who was still hesitant at first, took the book and said with a happy face: "Boss Duan Mu... you are really awesome."
As she spoke, she couldn't wait to open the book and said while reading: "Since I read some at Vice Captain Ise's last time, I have always wanted to borrow one, but the publication of this book is really difficult.
There are too few, and they are not even kept in the main library."
"Thank you very much, Boss Duan Mu."
[Momo Hinamori’s favorability is 1, 2560 experience points gained, current favorability: 42]
Looking at the prompts in his mind, Duan Mu smiled and said: "It's normal to be young, after all, this book has been published for more than 130 years."
He had actually obtained this book a long time ago, but it was not for Hinamori Momo, but for Ise Nanao.
Because he saw that Ise Nanao always carried this book with him like a treasure, Duanmu went to many places in order to have something in common with her, but in the end he never bought this book.
In the end, Nagano Kasuhide asked his family for help and bought a copy from those nobles.
The content of the book is actually not surprising.
The three characters "Suzukihime", as the name suggests, tell the story of a little girl who was born from a bell.
But the meaning it represents is very interesting.
The bell born by Suzuki-hime is not an ordinary bell, but a Hontsubo bell.
That is, the bell hung in front of the worship hall in the temple. You need to ring the bell when worshiping the gods.
The rope is called bell button, also known as bell thread.
In a sense, the protagonist of the story, Suzuki-hime, is very similar to Ise Nanao. Perhaps because of this, she always keeps this book with her.
However, according to Duan Mu’s investigation.
According to relevant information, Ise Nanao has carried this book with her for hundreds of years, and it has always been carefully protected by her own spiritual pressure.
Some people say that she did this because she missed her former deputy captain of the eighth division who often told her the contents of the book when she was a child.
Back to business.
Although he spent a lot of effort to obtain this book, this book actually did not allow him to have anything in common with Ise Nanao...
Unlike Hinamori Momo's softness and simplicity, Ise Nanao's personality is too calm and rigid, probably due to her age. When talking to her, Duan Mu always feels like she treats herself as a child.
certainly……
Judging from the age difference, he is indeed a child in front of Ise Nanao.
But if age really counts, these female vice-captains can basically be his grandmothers and grandmothers, but only Ise Nanao has this attitude towards him.
So at the end of the day…
Or she is too rigid.
Shaking his head, Duan Mu stopped thinking about Ise Nanao. After all, the person in front of him was not Ise Nanao, but Hinamori Momo. It was better to concentrate on it.
Looking at Hinamori Momo who was concentrating on reading, Duan Mu didn't urge her.
"Yeah~~"
After a while, as if she had thought of something, Hinamori Tao's face changed and she hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Boss Duan Mu, I was so busy reading that I forgot that you were here to work. I'm going to take care of the soldiers right now."
Summon us." After saying that, Hinamori Momo turned around and ran, but stopped after running a few steps.
"By the way, I prepared your favorite Tokuli Monaka in the martial arts hall, as well as some other snacks. I asked Vice Captain Oh Maeda about the snacks you like."
"No need to bother."
"How is that possible? Since Boss Duan Mu became the instructor of our fifth division team, the team members' Zanquan Demon Walking has improved significantly. It is many times better than if I taught them, and the team members are also very good.
I like the way you teach." As she spoke, Hinamori Momo waved her hands and hurriedly gathered the team members.
Duan Mu smiled when he heard this, turned around and entered the martial arts hall.
In fact, each division has its own teachings on techniques such as slaying fists and ghost walking. However, the instructor of the fifth division died unexpectedly during a support operation many years ago, so it has always been left to Aizen and Hinamori Momo.
Instructing the team members respectively.
When Duan Mu first came, the members of Division 5 were still a little dissatisfied.
Because they obviously trust the captain and vice-captain of their division more than a guy who is not even a god of death.
But after several teachings, and Xia Yanyou said that he was able to become the chief officer precisely because of Duan Mu's careful teaching, the members of the fifth division became more and more fond of this new instructor.
Moreover, the feeling Duanmu gave everyone was very similar to Captain Aizen and Vice-Captain Hinamori.
Unknowingly, Duan Mu has gained a reputation in the fifth division team, second only to Aizen and Hinamori Momo. Team members often ask Duan Mu to join the fifth division team, saying that the fifth division team is the most suitable for Duan.
The wooden squad.
Not long after, Hinamori Momo summoned all the team members and listened on the side.
It was not to monitor Duan Mu, but because what Duan Mu taught her was also of great help to her.
Although he had long known that Duan Mu was very powerful, Duan Mu's understanding of Zhanquanguizai was too vast and comprehensive, and he also had many original techniques, which Duan Mu taught without reservation.
A member of the fifth division.
This made Hinamori Momo couldn't help but sigh that she has a broad mind, which can be said to be second only to Captain Aizen.
…
The teaching time passed quickly, and the whole morning flew by.
After declining Hinamori Momo's invitation to stay for dinner, Duan Mu walked towards the Fourth Squadron.
Current experience value: 146890.
Duan Mu looked at the system interface in his mind and couldn't help but sigh.
In the past year, less than 80,000 experience points have been gained.
It becomes increasingly difficult to gain experience points.
Moreover, of the 80,000 experience points, more than 30,000 were provided by the Picaros little by little, and more than 20,000 were provided by Hinamori Momo... In other words, the total of the Sling Pavilion plus Rukongai is only
It provided him with less than 30,000 experience points.
This made Duan Mu couldn't help but sigh...
The Soul Society is really peaceful, and whether it is the Shinigami, residents of the Soul Palace, or the civilians of Rukongai, their lives are simply the same.
Walk around in fixed places and do fixed things every day.
Fortunately for the civilians in Rukongai, as long as they stay in Rukongai for 60 years, they can obtain permission to reincarnate, and then reincarnate under the guidance of the God of Death. Of course... most of the time, reincarnation is entirely voluntary.
But the God of Death is different. He lives his life almost every day, and basically nothing changes.
However, Duan Mu is actually not qualified to speak against them.
In addition to the relatively large activity area, what Duan Mu does every day can also be described as "the same".
Being unchanged sometimes becomes a kind of torture, so most ordinary residents of Rukongai will choose to be reincarnated instead of staying in Rukongai forever.
Duan Mu glanced at his spiritual pressure.
Reiatsu: top level
In this year, although Duan Mu has never slacked off, under the operation of developing spiritual patterns, he only achieved more than 6500 points of proficiency in one year, which can be said to be quite satisfactory, basically every year.
Even though this speed seemed extremely incredible to others, Duan Mu still felt extremely urgent.
There is not much time left for him. Although he doesn't really like the peaceful life now, with the upcoming chaos, with his current strength, even if he chooses to be single, it will be difficult to ensure his own safety.
After pondering for a while, Duan Mu decided to keep 46890 experience points and put the rest into spiritual pressure.
"Um?"
But then, Duan Mu frowned, and a flash of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Because, the experience value has not decreased, and the spiritual pressure proficiency has not increased either.
Could it be...
The next second, Duan Mu vaguely thought of something, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.
He first tried to add points by one thousand and one thousand, and after finding that everything was normal, he added points by ten thousand at a time.
In the end, his spiritual pressure proficiency stopped at 390,000, and the previous situation reappeared when it went higher.
Is that really the case?
Duan Mu sighed slightly in his heart, and tried to continue adding points in units of one thousand, and found that he could still continue to add points.
1000…1000…100…10,1
Under Duan Mu's constant attempts, his spiritual pressure finally stopped at...
Reiatsu: top level
Extreme barrier!
Duan Mu's steps paused, and although he forcibly suppressed the ugly expression on his face, his heart was as if he was in over his head.
Although from the moment the spiritual pressure broke through to the top level, Duan Mu vaguely felt this barrier.
But he never thought that this barrier would come so quickly.
In the long history of Soul Society, the word "spiritual power" existed. It was once a measurement standard used by nobles to refer to the concentration of spiritual power in the spirit body.
Generally, team members are divided into 20 levels of spiritual power, deputy captains are at levels 5 to 4, and levels 3 and above are captain levels.
The body of the God of Death is composed of spirit sons. After death, the spirit sons will return to Soul Society in the form of spirit sons. However, third-level and above spirit sons cannot return due to their high concentration, so a ritual such as the 'Soul Burial Ritual' is required.
This is an obvious statement. There are rumors that spirit children of level 3 or above cannot return to the land of Soul Society no matter what. And these powerful spirit children have been floating in Soul Society and will bring harm to Soul Society.
Unimaginable impact.
The real purpose of the so-called 'Soul Burial Ritual' is not to allow these souls to return to Soul Society, but to send the souls transformed by Captain Death who cannot return to Soul Society into...
--hell!
It can be understood that level 4 spirit children are the ultimate barrier of Soul Society itself. Its own existence cannot accommodate spirit children above level 4. Even if these spirit children are floating in its body, it will make it miserable and even lead to death.
died as a result.
Soul Society itself has so-called extreme barriers, and the Shinigami living in Soul Society naturally cannot avoid the emergence of extreme barriers.
Whether it is spiritual pressure, cutting, punching, ghosting, or walking, no matter how strong your ability is, as a Shinigami, you will encounter the ultimate barrier of the spiritual body, causing the spiritual pressure that represents the density of the soul to be unable to continue to grow.
However, due to differences in talent, some people have a higher limit barrier, while others have a lower limit.
There may even be people from the same generation who initially grow at exactly the same speed in strength, but when they both encounter extreme barriers...their strength is completely different!
Although according to Urahara Kisuke, uu Kanshu Duanmu itself has a body like a human being, this body has the characteristics of a spirit body. In addition to the extremely high strength of the body, it is the same as a spirit body.
So for Duan Mu, his spiritual body that is integrated with the physical body also has so-called limits.
This is the soul... placed on Duan Mu. Strictly speaking, it should represent the limit of the spiritual world of Death. It has nothing to do with whether Duan Mu is physically strong or not.
In other words, no matter how strong his body is, this limit will always exist here.
And the way to break through this barrier...
Duan Mu turned his 'eyes' to cutting, boxing, ghost, and several techniques to break through the extreme barriers. He had already deduced them a long time ago.
But I didn't expect that this kind of barrier would come so early.
Wait~!
Duan Mu turned his eyes and once again turned his attention to the body.
The limit of the soul does have nothing to do with body, but he is different from other gods of death. Duan Mu's body has been integrated with the spirit body and is indistinguishable from each other.
Moreover, before he added points to his physique, there was a period of time when his physique grew due to the increased spiritual pressure.
On the other hand...
Is it true that as long as the body continues to strengthen, the limit barrier of one's own soul will also become higher?
Duan Mu's "eyes" kept switching between physical strength and slashing, punching, ghost, and walking, with a flash of hesitation in his eyes.
But in the end he gritted his teeth slightly...
I want them all!!
While strengthening your body, you can't let go of the slashing fist and ghost walking.
However, the top priority is to find a way to overcome the existing barriers, and the option that can achieve this goal the fastest is undoubtedly...
