Chapter 361: The Brutalized Toshiro Kuchiki
Chapter 361: The Brutalized Toshiro Kuchiki
Toshiro, with this thought in mind, engaged in a battle with Yecheng at the Tenth Division's training ground, attracting a crowd of onlookers from the division.
After all, while Toshiro's usual demeanor might be a bit arrogant, his reputation as a "genius" was widely acknowledged.
Many members of the Tenth Division were curious to see how he would fare against Yecheng, the renowned Third Seat of the Gotei Thirteen, who was also highly respected within the division.
"Although you and Ranju were my mentors, times have changed. I have surpassed Ranju, and now it's your turn, Yecheng."
Facing the arrogant young boy, Yecheng couldn't help but smile slightly. He had initially planned to go easy on him, but upon seeing Toshiro's proud expression, a noticeable smirk formed on his lips.
"The little brat who used to wet his pants in fear has now become a Third Seat? Undeniably, your strength and talent are impressive, but I'm not like Ranju, a drunkard with a big chest and no brains.
With your current level of skill, wanting to defeat me is like a madman's dream."
Hearing Yecheng bring up his embarrassing past, the white-haired boy's face turned red with anger, and his aura surged to its peak in an instant.
"The past is the past. Today, I will wash away the shame of yesteryear.
Whether I can defeat you or not, we'll find out after the fight. Prepare yourself, Ice Wheel!"
Listening to Yecheng's taunt, Toshiro felt that Yecheng was still as annoying as ever, with his foul mouth unchanged.
Realizing that verbal sparring was not his forte, Toshiro quickly abandoned the verbal exchange and instead released his Zanpakuto's Initial Release, ready to demonstrate his full strength to Yecheng and prove that he was no longer the same person he used to be!
The air temperature dropped to freezing in an instant, and a bone-chilling coldness spread from Toshiro's body as he completed the release.
As the Zanpakuto known for being the "strongest ice-type in the Soul Society," Ice Wheel's prestige was indeed remarkable. With each release, it demonstrated its ability to 'Weather Control,' influencing the celestial phenomena.
Despite his youth, Toshiro had not yet fully mastered Ice Wheel's abilities, but the sword's inherent power, combined with his naturally extraordinary aura, made him a formidable opponent.
After completing the Initial Release and feeling the powerful aura emanating from his body, Toshiro became even more confident. Amidst the Tenth Division's admiring exclamations, he turned to Yecheng and said, "Aren't you going to release your Zanpakuto? Even though this is just a friendly match, I won't hold back."
Toshiro had intended to reclaim his past humiliations, and he believed this was a decisive battle for the position of the Tenth Division Captain. At this moment, he dared not relax.
However, when he saw that even after his release, Yecheng remained standing calmly in his original position, not even drawing his Zanpakuto from his waist, Toshiro became slightly dissatisfied.
"Is this the Zanpakuto known as the Soul Society's strongest ice-type, Ice Wheel? Indeed, it has a formidable presence and even possesses the ability to influence celestial phenomena.
But while the Zanpakuto is one with the Shinigami's soul, it does not represent the Shinigami's full strength. No matter how powerful the Zanpakuto's abilities are, it does not equate to the Shinigami's overall prowess.
Today, I'll teach you the first lesson: in battles between Shinigami, victory is not solely determined by the strength of their Zanpakuto."
Watching the fine snowflakes drifting down from the sky, Yecheng couldn't help but marvel at the unique prestige of the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto. This damn thing even had its own entrance effect!
While Yecheng was still in awe, the Winterlion on the opposite side was already infuriated by his words and charged towards Yecheng with his Ice Wheel in hand.
"If you don't plan to release your Zanpakuto, then I'll keep attacking until you do!"
As he swung his sword forward, the cold air emanating from the Ice Wheel instantly froze the moisture in the air, forming massive icicle spears that shot towards Yecheng.
"It's not that I don't want to release my Zanpakuto, but I only release it when I deem necessary.
Obviously, your current strength doesn't pose enough pressure for me to do so."
As the giant icicle spears shot towards Yecheng at an astonishing speed, he slowly extended his right hand towards the hilt of his Zanpakuto at his waist.
The next moment, a silver-white streak appeared in the air, and a slash that ordinary people couldn't even perceive cut through the icicles with the force of thunder, instantly splitting them in half!
Witnessing his proud technique being so easily countered, Winterlion, who was already charging towards Yecheng, exclaimed in astonishment, "Blade Draw Cut? But he hasn't even released his Zanpakuto, how can his strike be so powerful?"
Winterlion, still charging forward, didn't overthink it. The Flock Ice Spears were just a feint, and his true killing move was a close-range release.
Although the Blade Draw Cut was fast, the intense swinging motion often caused temporary numbness in the arm.
Winterlion believed that if he could seize this opportunity, he would have the upper hand.
The moment the Flock Ice Spears were cut, Winterlion gripped his sword, holding the Ice Wheel in front of his chest, and thrust forward.
"Ice Dragon Tail Whip - Absolute Void!"
Cold air gathered on the blade of the Ice Wheel, and a large amount of frost accumulated behind Winterlion, even forming two wings on his back to enhance his speed.
This was Winterlion's strongest move in his released state, capable of instantly piercing and freezing an opponent's body upon impact.
Just as Winterlion had anticipated, after executing the high-intensity Blade Draw Cut, Yecheng didn't have the strength to swing his sword again to block. And in response to Winterlion's "Absolute Void," he merely raised his right hand.
If the "Absolute Void" were to target an opponent's head or heart, it would undoubtedly be fatal.
But this was just a friendly spar, and Winterlion intended to teach the arrogant Yecheng a lesson without causing serious harm, so he aimed for a non-vital area.
However, just as Winterlion thought he had the upper hand, what happened before his eyes almost made everyone present drop their jaws in shock.
As Winterlion thrust the Ice Wheel towards Yecheng, the latter blocked it! And the way he did it was incredibly impressive! The tip of the Ice Wheel, which was thrust at high speed, was firmly pinched by Yecheng's thumb and index finger, infused with Ghost Techniques. Not only did Yecheng prevent the Ice Wheel from piercing his body, but Winterlion, who held the Ice Wheel, felt that no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from Yecheng's grip!
Along with Winterlion's surging aura, the Ice Wheel emitted an even more astonishing chill, and layers of frost rapidly spread through Yecheng's hand that held the Ice Wheel, extending to his entire body...
