Duan Mu woke up in a daze. He had a nightmare. He had forgotten the content of the dream, but he just felt inexplicably irritable.
The opened black eyes were lifeless, as if they were dead. After a while, the scattered eyes gradually gathered together, gradually regaining their energy and becoming more alive.
I haven't had nightmares for a long time.
He was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, a little lost in thought.
After a long time...
Duan Mu exhaled a long breath, and the negative emotions accumulated in the dream merged into the air with this breath.
"Will the whirlpool pattern collapse when it falls from the sky?"
Duan Mu sat up, looked at the patterns carved on the wall, and immediately knew where he was.
Judging from the furnishings, it should be a bedroom, and the air is filled with the smell of herbs.
"Yarrow, reed, buckwheat..."
Although he had not mixed many herbal medicines, Duan Mu's low-level Hui Dao allowed him to easily identify the herbs contained in this medicinal fragrance.
He lowered his head to look at the bandage wrapped around his chest and nodded. Judging from the knowledge he had gained on the 'Return Path', it was bandaged very well and treated with medicine, and he should be able to fully recover in a few days.
At this moment, the bedroom door was pushed open, and two people walked in one after the other. It was the Zhibo siblings.
"Are you really awake?"
Yanjiu poked his head out from behind Konghe and said in a surprised tone: "It's actually the same as what the eldest sister said."
Kung He pulled up a chair and sat on the bedside in an angry manner, took a puff from his pipe and said, "You're a very good pretender, how do you feel?"
"ah?"
Duan Mu was stunned, what does it mean to be good at pretending?
"really."
Unlike him, the rock eagle behind Konghe nodded in agreement, looked at Duan Mu and said: "How on earth do you hide your spiritual pressure?"
Duan Mu's fighting prowess in the previous battle really surprised him.
Especially in terms of spiritual pressure strength, this guy actually behaved almost like a student of the Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy in front of him.
It would be fine if she just hid it from herself, but even the eldest sister said that if Duan Mu hadn't taken action with all his strength, she wouldn't have known that Duan Mu's spiritual pressure was already comparable to the low-level chief officers of the Gotei 13 Team.
So that’s it?
Duan Mu smiled bitterly and said: "I don't mean to hide it from you, but I don't know what's going on. Maybe it's because of my physique. As long as I don't activate it with all my strength and don't let the spiritual pressure overflow my body, others won't be able to detect it.
My spiritual pressure fluctuates."
His words did not lie to the two of them. Now that it had been exposed, there was no need to continue to hide it. What's more, he never thought of hiding it from the two of them.
"You don't have to explain it to us."
Konghe waved his hand: "If it weren't for you this time, this brat Iwajiu would be in danger."
"Sister, I..."
Bang!
"..."
Seeing the rock eagle being knocked to the ground with a punch and a big bump bulging out from the back of his head at a speed visible to the naked eye, Duan Mu subconsciously shrank back to the bed.
"What are you doing? If it weren't for Duan Mu, you might be fine, but have you ever thought about what would happen to Hawke and the others?" Konghe trained while stepping on the head of the rock eagle one after another.
It was obvious that Iwajiu's behavior of going to the lower-numbered area privately this time really annoyed Konghe.
This made Duan Mu, who originally wanted to come forward to persuade, swallow the words of persuasion back in his stomach.
and……
Duan Mu was actually a little annoyed with the Rock Eagle. If he had known that the areas with lower numbers were so dangerous, he would still have followed the Rock Eagle there, but he would never have been as unprepared as this time.
If Shiba Kukaku hadn't followed secretly this time, he might have died in the hands of that big man.
Sure enough, you should still accumulate more experience points to deal with various emergencies.
"I've asked Jin Yan to inform your store clerk. You can stay here to recuperate for the next few days." After Konghe taught Yanjiu a lesson, he turned to Duan Mu and said.
Duan Mu did not refuse. In his current state, even if he returned to the store, he would still need to rest for a few days without being able to work. Compared with staying alone in the store, it was obviously more suitable for him to rest here under the care of others.
As for Mao Yue...
Despite her age, she actually can't even cook. She has lived in Soul Society for decades with the attitude of 'eating and waiting to die'. If she is asked to take care of herself, her injuries will most likely become worse.
More serious.
"Excuse me, Sister Konghe."
"What's the trouble? Just treat this place as your own home." Konghe bent down and carried the rock eagle on the ground, which had a lot of air coming out but little air coming in, out of the room.
Watching Kong He's back disappear, Duan Mu looked away and secretly sighed in his heart, as expected, the attitudes of '9' favorability and '30' favorability are completely different.
When he came to Shiba's house before, even though he wouldn't be kicked out, Shiba Kukaku's attitude towards him had always been very cold, and he had never been so enthusiastic as now.
Although this incident was dangerous, the rewards were extremely rich.
Current experience value: 18600.
Looking at the experience value on the system interface, Duan Mu's eyes turned red. In the past four years since he came to Soul Society, this was the first time he had accumulated so much experience value!
Moreover, after Kukaku's favorability reaches 30, if he increases his favorability a little, he will directly gain 2,400 experience points.
If it reaches 40 points, 50 points...or even breaks through 60 points, what will it be?
Duan Mu shook his head, extinguishing the dangerous thoughts that arose in his mind.
"Let's first think about how to turn these experiences into combat effectiveness."
Duan Mu unfolded the ghost path details page, his eyes looking thoughtful.
※Number of unactivated ghost paths: 37 (Please enter the activation interface to activate.)
…
By 'teaching' students, Duan Mu has collected a lot of ghost ways in the past six months. However, there are many low-level ghost ways that have duplicate functions and are not very practical. Duan Mu has abandoned these ghost ways, even if he now has enough experience points.
, and he is not ready to activate it.
And these low-level ghost ways he activated, whether broken or bound, are the most practical of the low-level ghost ways, and are also the ones used most by the members of the Gotei Thirteenth Team.
Now he doesn't lack the ghost path, what he lacks is just the intermediate ghost path.
However, there are only four intermediate ghost ways that the students know and can fully release in front of Duan Mu. Unless a member of the Gotei 13 team comes to learn ghost ways from him, they can only hope to learn them from the 'Death Cram School'
The possibility of reaching the 'new intermediate ghost path' is extremely low.
As for the advanced ghost path, it is even more wishful thinking.
Moreover, even if there were students who came to him with "Advanced Kidō" for guidance, Duan Mu's spiritual pressure strength would still not be up to the standard for releasing "Advanced Kidō".
Duan Mu looked at the ghost path details page with a tangled look on his face: "Sure enough, these low-level ghost paths are worth investing in experience." After all, these ghost paths were carefully selected by him from a bunch of low-level ghost paths.
The 'high-quality' ones that come out, even if they have learned intermediate ghost ways, these low-level ghost ways can still play a role in the battle.
"Well, let's upgrade the four intermediate ghosts to 'intermediate' first, so that at least they won't be like this time, with no other means of attack except 'White Thunder'."
Duan Mu also thought about whether to directly spend a lot of experience points to upgrade Bai Lei to a high level, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up this idea.
Although Bai Lei is practical, it is a low-level Kidō after all. Once the level of mastery reaches a certain level, its power depends entirely on the strength of its own spiritual pressure. Even if it is now upgraded to a high level, the power it can exert is extremely limited.
When the strength of spiritual pressure and the level of mastery are the same, the upper limit of the power of intermediate ghosts is obviously higher than the upper limit of low-level ghosts.
certainly……
The main reason is that there is not enough experience value. Eighteen thousand experience seems to be a lot, but in addition to Kidō, Duanmu also needs to consider various abilities such as Bai Da, Shunpo, Reiatsu, etc., and it is impossible to devote all of them to Kidō.
