Chapter 39: Greatness is achieved by yourself
Corpse Soul World! Seireitei! Mao Spiritual Academy!
Duke, who woke up in the student dormitory, had no intention of continuing to sleep, put on his clothes, and planned to take a trip to Liuhun Street to sharpen his kendo.
"Would you like to go out?" Tezaemon, the shooting range of the same dormitory, stood up and yawned.
Shooting field Tezaemon, the captain of the seventh division of the Soul World, is still only a rookie. He is bold and non-trivial, speaks bluntly, and does things vigorously and resolutely. He is a man who dares to act. In the same year as Duke entered the Mao Spiritual Academy, coupled with the roommate relationship, Duke and him soon became friends who talked everything. Reaper only watched halfway. Duke didn’t know what the shooting man would accomplish in the future, but he still knew that there was a deputy captain’s mom on the shooting field. He looked like a wife, and a large part of the shooting field’s personality was influenced by his mom. influences. It seems rude and vicious, but after getting acquainted, he discovered that he is a delicate and reliable guy.
"I'm sorry, I woke you up, shooting field." Duke apologized, tightening his clothes tightly. He can't wait to go out and try the kendo with multiple swordsmen.
"It's only five o'clock, even if it's too early to practice, give me two more hours, and I will sleep with you for a while."
"It's not exercise. I'm going to Liuhun Street. I have very important things to do." Duke looked out the window, and the night hadn't disappeared, but he couldn't wait.
"Liuhun Street..." The shooting site knew that Duke had been living in Liuhun Street before enrolling, and that it was still the kind of area where security was not very good, and even Zhanpaku Dao was picked up there. Hearing that my friend is going to do business there, but I don't know how to speak when I want to stop it, my words are lost.
"Please take a week off for me. If you don't come back in a week, please ask for leave again. Excuse me, you are on the field." Duke raised the Zanpaku Knife. It has been almost ten years since he picked up this shallow fight. Now, countless efforts have been put into it, but the name of the knife is always confused. But tonight is different. There is a premonition in the dark, as if Zan Po Dao is calling, making him impatient to get a glimpse of his real name.
"One week...not necessarily. What are you going to do?" The shooting range is completely awake now. One week is enough to reach the uneven areas of Liuhun Street, where there are many dangers, even if it is Shisanban. The team members rarely go there except for mission requirements, because they can't guarantee that they won't die.
"The sword is calling me, I must go." Duke gave a reason that the shooting range could not be persuaded. The Zanpai Sword was born and died together with the **** of death. It is something that cannot be given up. No matter how dangerous it is, it is about Zan. Podao and Death will neither retreat nor retreat.
"In that case, you must be careful, and...be sure to go early and return early." Sitting up on the shooting range, crossed his arms around his chest, put on sunglasses, and gave a thumbs up: "We are here in another month. You will graduate by the end of the year. That day is also the day to enter the Gotei 13th team. Don't waste time."
"Don't worry, one month is enough." Duke opened the door and turned to look at the sunglasses on the shooting range. He was speechless: "It's still dark, what are you doing with sunglasses?"
"To see your friends off, naturally you have to be more solemn. Sunglasses are not a prop to block the sun. The real purpose will not be understood until you mature. This is a man's romance!" Hearing the scene, the shooting site said unpredictably.
"Just be cool!"
———————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————
After exiting the gate of Jingling Court, Duke randomly picked a direction, rushed to the road, and rushed all the way towards the outermost direction of Liuhun Street. Liuhun Street surrounds the center of the corpse soul world, that is, the Jingling Pavilion spreads outward, and is divided into four directions, southeast, northwest, and each direction has 80 areas according to the number, totaling 320 areas. Because of Jinglingting’s deterrence, the smaller the number, the safer and richer the area. The public security and living environment of the first district in the four directions are ideal, and the food is abundant. On the other hand, in the 80th district, there is no grass, famine, and hell. The souls use stealing, plundering, and killing to determine who has the right to survive, that is, food and water. By analogy, as the number of area codes increases, the public security and living conditions in each district will decline and become worse.
Along with the moonlight, Duke kept his horses, and did not stop and rest until the sky was clear. No one knows how big Liuhun Street is. Compared with it, the Jingling Court in the center is only a drop in the ocean, so it is not a short time to span 80 areas. Hungry, he found a quiet corner, took out the dry food and water from the package, and chewed slowly.
"Obviously you are a soul, but you will be hungry. You need to eat and drink water in the toilet... The body structure is no different from that of a living person. The internal organs and blood vessels are the same as a living person. You can clearly feel the heart beating, and even the blood is bright red. Still hot... can this be called a soul?"
For this absurd world that cannot be explained by science, Duke is very puzzled. Although it is the soul after death, it is not much different from living in the present world. It is like living again in a different place. The only difference is that the souls only need to ingest the spirits in the atmosphere to survive, but there are exceptions, that is the souls with higher spiritual power, they must maintain life through food and water...
For this type of soul, even if it takes in the spirits in the atmosphere, it is still not enough to survive, and it will cause exhaustion due to excessive hunger, and even death. Because many souls without spiritual power do not feel hungry, most areas of Liuhun Street are seriously lacking in food and water. However, both are the necessities for the survival of high spiritual souls. In order to survive, these souls must fight for food and water. Some areas even use water as a currency to link the survival of all people.
In the corpse and soul world, there are only two ways for a soul with high spiritual power. Either it will continue to compete for food and water until one day starvation or death, or it will pass through the four gates to enter the Seireitei and become a guardian. The **** of death in the thirteen team.
When Duke first came to the world of death, he lived in the East 62 district far away from Seireitei, where the souls gathered together to form a family and exist in the form of a village. Poverty, hunger, lack of food and water, Duke resolutely left after learning that he was in the Soul World. While wandering towards the center, while fighting for survival, he entered Seireitei with a trace of good luck and became a student of the Mao Spiritual Academy with his not weak spiritual power.
"I only brought dry food for three days. After three days, the food source must be solved by myself." Duke Xiaoxiao took a sip of the drinking water in the kettle, put the dry food in, and left immediately to continue on the road. He had already noticed that several sneaky figures with malicious intent were slowly approaching. It was obvious that they were all coming for food and water. It's just the Zanpaku knife that was taken around Duke's waist, and he didn't dare to rush to grab it. The area where he is now is still in good order. After the last dozen areas, I am afraid that the souls will not hesitate so much. At that time, Duke did not even have a chance to sleep peacefully.
"Adding four new people at a time, the current spiritual pressure is so strong that I can't believe it. What's more commendable is that all four of them are experts with swords." After replenishing his physical strength, Duke began to run wildly again, occasionally using instant steps. Exercise your speed.
"With the four newcomers, plus the original five Duke, the number of the crossing team has reached 9, and the top double is right in front of you. At this speed, the crossing team can be renamed the crossing army in a short time. Personal superposition has increased my spiritual pressure to this point. It is conceivable that when the army is formed, my spiritual pressure..." For the ability of the golden finger, Duke gave a five-star praise. After last night, except Lingya, his physical fitness and combat experience were all invisibly improved.
Slashing fist and walking ghosts, kendo, white fight, instant step, ghost road, these are the four major skills that the **** of death will never change. With the help of golden fingers, Duke has mastered two of them, kendo and white fight, plus the already excellent ghosts, the only four skills left are Shunbu.
"Shantou step is a very practical life-saving skill. It is especially important for me, a **** of death who is proficient in kendo. The world martial arts, no strength is not broken, but quickness is not broken. This is not a play. Anyway, the spiritual power is enough for me to squander. Change to the instant step..." Duke concentrated his spiritual power under his feet, and instantly appeared ten meters away, his body swayed, and his feet were a little unstable.
Instant step is the technique of moving the body quickly and instantaneously, moving to the opponent's side or farther away at a speed that the opponent can't see. Whether it is to use tactics to give a fatal blow, or to quickly withdraw from the battle when one is disadvantaged, it is very practical. It is the countless gods of death who have summed up advanced footwork after thousands of years. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com on Shunbu, the Xingjun Second Division of Guarding 13 Team is the worst. They are responsible for executions, assassinations, and secret infiltration investigation tasks. The only assessment for joining the team is Shunbu. In particular, the captain of the second division of the past generations generally had to concurrently serve as the commander-in-chief of the covert maneuver. He was quick to act and was good at assassinations. He was the most proficient at instant step among all the death gods. Their fighting style is alternative, and they don't need to liberate the Zanpaku. When encountering enemies, they are often the result of a spike.
In addition, there are other instant step masters. For example, in the original work, Gao Lengmei, the super noble Kuchiki Byakuya, his Shunbu is accustomed to the fastest Shushen Yeichi, and his flashing skills can not be described as superb. And such a good skill turned out to be a result of being teased by Ye Yi when he was a child, playing hide and seek. In this regard, Duke admired Kuchiki Byakuya's talent on the one hand, and on the other hand was surprised and Ye Yi's terrifying instant step strength.
Both of them were born in the famous aristocratic family in the soul world, and they were born with superhuman spiritual power. In other words, they are both geniuses, but this is not the reason for their strength. Having experienced multiple worlds, Duke knows that genius is such a thing, talent and hard work are indispensable.
Talent is given, and greatness is achieved by yourself!
Thinking of this, Duke had no reason to slack off and practiced the instant step desperately. Kuchiki Byakuya has a good talent, is willing to work hard, and has Shushen Yeyi personal advice, being strong is inevitable. He does not have these conditions, so he can only work harder than the other party.
Silent all the way, Duke kept on rushing with the instant step, disappearing again and again, showing up again and again, the gap between pauses became shorter and shorter, the distance of movement was getting farther and farther, and the instant step became more and more skillful. When the spiritual power is more than half consumed, he stops to recover, and when he recovers, he continues on his way.
Diligence can make up for one’s weaknesses, but hard work. It doesn't matter if you don't have a good teacher, Duke firmly believes that God favors people who work hard.
