Chapter 419: Rukia's Overprotective Brother
Chapter 419: Rukia's Overprotective Brother
In the Soul Society, on the Wandering Soul Street, at Carp Crouching Mountain.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!"
The crisp clashing of weapons reverberated throughout the training ground as two figures clad in black Shinigami uniforms moved swiftly within the arena.
Each time their Zanpakuto clashed, sparks flew, creating a symphony of metal-on-metal impacts.
"Nijuma Shiraen!"
As Rukia thrust her sword tip into the ground, an avalanche of frigid air erupted before her, sweeping down towards her opponent.
The intense cold affected the surrounding trees and rocks, coating them in a thin layer of frost.
"Night God Style First Move: Piercing Heaven!"
However, facing this overwhelming icy onslaught, Yecheng merely tightened his grip on his sword and slashed downward, unleashing a terrifying Spirit Particle Slash that split the freezing air in two!
The crescent-shaped slash not only divided the cold wave but also carved a deep ravine in the ground, continuing its momentum towards the Shinigami girl behind the cold front.
Seeing the incoming Spirit Particle Slash, Rukia, with no chance to evade, could only block it with her pure white Zanpakuto, Manjushou Byakugane.
"Clang!"
When the crescent-shaped Spirit Particle Slash struck Manjushou Byakugane, countless sparks flew from the sword's surface.
Although Rukia successfully blocked the attack, her situation was far from comfortable.
An indescribable weight transmitted from the sword to her arm, causing Rukia to almost lose her grip on Manjushou Byakugane.
Under the immense force, Rukia's petite body was pushed backward, her straw sandals carving clear furrows in the ground.
Rukia's body was pushed back several meters by the slash until her back collided with a rock, creating spiderweb-like cracks on its surface, finally altering the trajectory of the oncoming Spirit Particle Slash.
The Spirit Particle Slash, passing by Rukia's hair, carried away a few strands before ultimately cleaving the large rock behind her and dissipating into the air.
Just as Rukia, gasping for breath, was about to make her move, a long sword was already pressed against her neck.
The white-haired man holding the sword looked at Rukia with a satisfied smile and said, "That's enough, Rukia. Your strength has improved significantly."
Looking at the shallow strike on her neck, Rukia released her Zanpakuto and said to the handsome white-haired man in front of her, "I think Brother Yecheng is just showing off.
I've already given it my all, but Brother Yecheng hasn't even released his Zanpakuto, and our fight lasted less than a minute!"
Indeed, the two figures on Carp Crouching Mountain were none other than Yecheng and Rukia.
The incident began with Rukia's simulated battle with her old partner, Akaneji Renji, which she narrowly lost. This left Rukia, who had always been the big sister, feeling quite dissatisfied.
Upon learning from Lunju that Yecheng had trained the 10th Division's Captain, Kurum Togin, Rukia sought out Yecheng, hoping that this big brother who always made her feel at ease would help her with special training.
"There's no need to belittle yourself. As far as your strength goes, you're already quite exceptional for a seated officer. Even without releasing your Zanpakuto, the fact that you forced me to use my techniques means you're one of the few in the Gotei 13 who can do so."
In regards to Captain Kurumu Togin you mentioned, during the initial special training, he could barely last three minutes against me."
"Vice Captain Akaneji Renji is indeed talented in combat, but if he competes with his expertise in slashing and walking, it's undoubtedly unwise."
"Shinigami's Slash, Punch, Walk, Ghost, if you can't gain an advantage in slashing and walking, you should try to incorporate Kido in battle. As far as I know, Vice Captain Renji's Kido talent is quite a weakness..."
Regarding Yecheng's advice, Lucia bowed in acceptance. In fact, she had recently come to find Yecheng for special training, partly because she was indeed affected by Vice Captain Renji, and partly because Lucia was preparing to go to the Human World to carry out a mission.
It had been a long time since Lucia joined the 13th Division, but since her previous attack in the Human World, this was Lucia's first time going to the Human World to perform a mission.
Since today was also the day to help Hizuru with her body, after the special training, Yecheng accompanied Lucia to the Fujiwara residence.
Rukia Byakuya was busy with daily affairs, leaving Hizuru alone in the house. As a severe sister-complex, Hizuru, upon learning that her sister Lucia was going out for training, stood at the door early in anticipation.
When Hizuru saw Yecheng and Lucia approaching from a distance, she quickly took the towel from the maid and began to carefully tidy up Lucia.
"Sister, I'm not a child anymore, I can handle this myself."
Regarding the excessive pampering from her sister, who had a sister complex, Lucia felt a bit overwhelmed. The maid behind Hizuru secretly smiled at this.
It was common knowledge that in the Fujiwara family, only Miss Lucia received such treatment, and even Byakuya, the official husband, couldn't enjoy the meticulous care that Hizuru provided.
Due to previously abandoning Lucia for survival reasons, Hizuru felt deep guilt towards her regained sister.
Although she was the older sister, when facing Lucia, Hizuru was more like a mother, wishing to make up for all the love she lacked in the past.
While helping Lucia tidy up her clothes, the meticulous Hizuru also noticed that Lucia's Shinigami uniform had many torn areas, so her gaze immediately turned angrily towards her friend.
"Yecheng, Lucia has only been a Shinigami for a few decades, and she's also your junior in the 13th Division, and my friend's sister.
Didn't you know to hold back a little during training?"
Yecheng: (｀へ)???
"Sister, I asked Yecheng to be serious, and the injuries I received were treated by him immediately.
Don't forget, Yecheng's healing skills are even more impressive than those of the 4th Division members.
And please don't be unreasonable. If it's special training, how can there be no possibility of getting injured?"
Hearing that her sister was upset, Hizuru tried to pacify her like a child.
This treatment, as if she were soothing a child, also made Lucia blush and run into the mansion.
