The sun was shining brightly, and Duan Mu was lazing on the deck chair outside the Wanshi Room on the second floor of the tavern.
Compared to winter, he still prefers spring and summer. The feeling of lying on a lounge chair and being soaked by the sun is extremely comfortable.
So comfortable!!
"Ah~ I feel like I haven't been so idle for a long time."
As the scope of business Duan Mu undertakes becomes wider and wider, his customers also become more and more. Especially in the past six months, he has not had a day off. At most, some unurgent commissions have even been scheduled.
a week later.
Like today, there is no commission at all. This is the first time in half a year!
Of course, even though he was busy, Duan Mu did not slack off in his practice and would set aside a few hours for practice every day.
He is practicing all four combat skills of Zanken Demon and Kizai at the same time. It is still the same as before. Basically, he only uses experience points when he encounters bottlenecks. The only difference is that... he experienced the battle with Genuchi Kura.
Later, Duan Mu also paid more attention to the practice of spiritual pressure.
Whenever he has free time, he will go to Shiba's house to borrow Okukaku's martial arts hall. When he has enough experience points, he will devote part of it to spiritual pressure.
Back then Gennaikura had made Duanmu realize the saying "A battle of death is a battle of spiritual pressure". No matter how strong his fighting skills were, without strong spiritual pressure as a backing, he could connect Gennaikura's spiritual pressure defense.
None can be broken.
But if you blindly pursue the tyranny of spiritual pressure and ignore skills, you will be like Gennaikura, who will be easily killed by Duan Mu when the spiritual pressure is similar or even inferior.
The most suitable method is to be like Aizen, who has reached the pinnacle of spiritual pressure and fighting skills.
However……
Reiatsu: Advanced (9840/100000)
Looking at the string of zeros after the required experience points, Duan Mu always felt that his future was gloomy.
As for someone like Aizen, who has reached the limit of a Shinigami in terms of both his own spiritual pressure and his sword-slaying demons. This is not just about having strong talent, but also having extremely strong talent and being able to perform without interruption for a long time.
And only through crazy practice can it be possible to reach his level.
And his obsession with ‘becoming stronger’ has reached the point of obsession!
Thinking of Aizen, Duan Mu's expression turned slightly ugly. After defeating Genuchi Cura, the words "Aizen Sosuke" almost never left Duan Mu's mind.
Although judging from the calmness in the past six months, it seems that his defeat of Genuchikura did not attract Aizen's attention.
He also knew very well that his own strength was not qualified to attract his attention.
but……
That guy is really too cautious and likes to make plans in secret. Who knows if he has already set his sights on me.
Even Duan Mu couldn't be sure whether he might have fallen into the opponent's trap at some point.
I have to guard against it, but I can’t guard against it!
In the past six months, Duan Mu has been thinking about ways to get rid of the mirror.
It's not that there are no ways to break it, there are at least three that Duan Mu knows.
A blind man like Tosen Kaname;
Like Ichimaru Gin, touch Aizen's shallow strokes before the beginning;
Or maybe capture Aizen's true form without him paying attention.
No matter which one of these three methods, the prerequisites are extremely difficult. The simplest one is to poke your eyes out and remain blind forever.
As for closing his eyes when fighting Aizen, Duan Mu has never thought about it.
But once Mirror Flowers, Water Moon is activated, whether it is the pedestrians and residents walking towards you, the buildings and trees on the street, or even the cats and mice in the corner, they may be the real bodies of Mirror Flowers, Water Moon. These media are incomprehensible, and they often unknowingly
People are already hypnotized.
What's the difference between keeping your eyes closed for the rest of your life and poking your eyes out?
Rather than being a blind man for the rest of his life, Duan Mu would rather hide until Aizen is sealed... This was also Duan Mu's original plan, to honestly not provoke Aizen; but there is a premise, that is, he has not been sealed.
Aizen is being targeted. If he is targeted, he must be prepared in advance!!
As for the second and third methods...
Regardless of whether he can be caught, Duan Mu is not confident that he won't be hacked to death by Aizen if he gets close.
Kyoka Suigetsu is certainly terrifying, but the truly terrifying person is Aizen. Rather than saying that Kyoka Suigetsu created Aizen, it is better to say that Aizen has reached the peak of intelligence, spiritual pressure, and even Zukenki.
Master, that’s what made Mirror Flowers and Water Moon so terrifying!
In fact, there is a simpler method...
Gu Yan
That is to not care about anything, not to talk to the other party, and to spread out a large-scale firepower coverage without stopping, covering everything except yourself. However, this method requires extremely powerful spiritual pressure and ghost power, and at the same time
...and can only be used when the opponent is attacking.
Otherwise, the opponent can completely leave this range temporarily, wait for the spiritual pressure to be exhausted, and then come over to give him the final blow.
It would actually be okay if Kyoka Suigetsu only controls the five senses, but the victim's sense of spiritual pressure will also be controlled, which makes the existing detection-type binding paths almost useless.
Even the 58th Binding Dao, which Duan Mu has studied the most in the past six months: Slapping the toes and chasing the sparrow, is no exception.
Toe-slapping birds can sense the opponent's spiritual pressure and track and capture their location, but they need to draw spiritual patterns in advance and conduct a large-scale search to locate a person; but for people who hide their spiritual pressure, or have changed their spiritual power
Characteristics... No, strictly speaking, it is the characteristics of the spiritual power that have been changed in Duan Mu's feelings, so this binding method will not work.
Moreover, during the battle, there was no time for Duan Mu to draw the spiritual patterns.
unless……
Based on this, a new binding path is created.
This kind of binding must be instantaneous and have stronger detection capabilities, so that it can still lock onto the opponent even if the nature of the opponent's spiritual power changes.
Duan Mu has only one research direction, and that is to target the Tao of Type Binding.
In short, it is to create a prototype of the binding path that is only for Aizen. As long as this prototype of the ghost path is created, then the system can be taught to deduce it and complete it completely.
This method is the one with the highest success rate that Duan Mu can think of.
But the word "target" cannot be achieved by just relying on impressions. It also requires long-term close contact and a detailed understanding of the target you want to target.
"...Is this the legendary battle of wits and courage with the air?"
The corner of Duan Mu's mouth twitched slightly. He had never even seen Aizen's face, but he was already racking his brains to think of ways to fight against him.
and……
So unrealistic.
As the saying goes, the scary thing is the person, not the Zanpakutō.
If you want to fight against Aizen, just the ability to crack the Zanpakutō is not enough, you also need to have a strength close to it, otherwise Aizen can kill him without even using the sword.
"Um?"
Duan Mu, who was lying on the deck chair, stood up suddenly and looked at the street in the distance from the second floor.
Almost at the same time as he looked, a dark figure appeared at the end of the street, and all the pedestrians passed by got out of the way; the reason was very simple, because this person was wearing a death jacket that only the God of Death would wear.
Pack.
What is Death doing here?
A flicker of doubt flashed in Duan Mu's eyes. Although Shinigami from Division 4 often come here secretly to learn Kidō, they all come in casual clothes, even Kotetsu Yuine.
Looking at me?
The next second, Duan Mu's eyes flashed with vigilance, because the visitor immediately set his sights on Duan Mu who was on the second floor.
As we got closer, we came directly to the downstairs of Wanshiwu and walked up the stairs.
Duan Mu sat up from the recliner and looked at the god of death walking up the stairs.
The person who came here seemed to be in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance. He was completely inconspicuous in the crowd and could make Duan Mu feel handsome.
"Hello, are you Boss Duan Mu?"
Ignoring Duanmu's scrutinizing gaze, the visitor directly stated the purpose of coming here: "I have a request to go to the Seireitei. Can you take it here? Of course, the temporary pass will be provided by our second division.
It is issued, but you need to be monitored during the work process. Can you accept this?"
The man did not show the arrogance that the God of Death had when facing the residents of Rukongai. Instead, he gave people a feeling of humility and even fear.
Although they have been monitoring Duan Mu for a long time, this is the first time they have had close contact with him. Moreover, the other party is a guy who is rumored to kill people without blinking an eye. He is really afraid that he will be raped by Duan Mu's boss because of something he said that is wrong.
Get rid of it.
The job was obviously assigned to Vice Captain Ohmaeda, so why did he come?
The corner of the man's mouth twitched slightly. On the one hand, it was an order from his superiors, but on the other hand...
