Chapter 327 Night 1: What is the real stealth maneuver?
Chapter 327: Yoruichi: What is the real stealth maneuver?
"Well, that should be about right."
Lu Li looked at the huge new Xuye Palace in front of him and nodded with great satisfaction.
"Li, are you really the god of death? This isn't the way of the ghost, right?"
Ni Lu curiously stretched out her hand to poke the wall built of giant trees. In her perception, this was a completely solid entity, not an energy body condensed by spiritual pressure. Even without Lu Li's maintenance, it could exist for a long time.
"You can think of it as a small ability similar to the ghost way. It has something to do with my personal physique."
Lu Li casually explained that the principle of the Wood Release he used was difficult to explain to people in the world of Death.
Rather, even he himself is not quite clear about what his Wood Release is now, because he has obtained a sage body that has been optimized for compatibility with the Chaos Spirit Seed. So although he has also obtained the ability of Wood Release, he does not need chakra to drive the technique.
His Wood Release was learned from Hashirama Senju, but it is fundamentally different from that of the first Hokage. The condensed Wood Release entity is like a purer transformation of energy and matter.
But after all, Lu Li had taken classes from his master, and he felt that energy and matter were the same thing, so this kind of transformation was not difficult to understand.
After several soul source replenishments, Lu Li finally completed the construction of the magnificent Xuye Palace. Compared with the Xuye Palace in the original book, it is much larger.
As for the exterior beautification and subsequent detailed decoration, Lu Li planned to leave it to Sal Apollo. The main reason was that none of the Vastodes around him seemed to be able to calm down and do the decoration.
Xiao Wu would listen to him and work hard to improve Xuye Palace, but it would be better to leave this kind of work to more professional people.
"Mr. Lu, can I study the characteristics of your spirit?"
Sal Apollo looked at Lu Li with eager eyes, which was the curiosity of a scientist. Obviously, he wanted to find out how Lu Li transformed the spirit particles into "instrument particles".
As a person who has lived for a long time and is good at research, Vastod is very clear about the nature of various abilities. For example, if the Quincy has more domineering abilities, they can use all kinds of spirit particles for their own use. If they are in Soul Society, facing those buildings built by spirit particles, they may be able to decompose them and turn them into their own power.
But Sal Apollo saw it clearly and felt it with his hands, and discovered that the Xuye Palace built by Lu Li was not in the form of a spirit particle, but a real instrument, which is the common material form in the world.
This is very interesting. He has never seen the transformation between spirit particles and instrument particles. If he studies it thoroughly, he feels that he may have come into contact with the ultimate truth of the world.
Before he started to study it in depth, the first thing he realized was that since spirit particles and instrument particles could be converted into each other, then in essence, could they actually be the same thing? From this perspective, he might also understand the principle of the Spirit King opening up the three realms.
"No."
Lu Li rejected Sal Apollo in seconds, leaving the other party disappointed.
It's not that Lu Li is stingy, it's just that Sal Apollo is different from Orochimaru. Orochimaru is at most doing some cloning cell research, and the relationship between the two of them is mutually beneficial and there are other connections. Orochimaru would not harm him for the sake of research.
But this guy Sal Apollo is very dangerous, and he has no loyalty or integrity at all. If he gets his body tissue, there is no telling when Sal Apollo might turn against him and do something bad to him.
"Mr. Lu, your ability has already brought you close to the door of truth, but you are so cruel to shut me out. Can you please be flexible?"
Sal Apollo pleaded, "Don't worry, I will never do anything bad to you. I just want to study the principle of your use of this ability."
Lu Li glanced at Sar Apollo and said, "Let's talk about it after your research partner arrives."
It's not that research on the nature of Wood Release ability is impossible, but he will only feel at ease if Sosuke is in charge. Before Sosuke takes over the laboratory, he will not give Sal Apollo his own research materials.
"Oh? It seems that Mr. Lu trusts your friend the Grim Reaper very much? Could it be the Grim Reaper who caused Bylergan to suffer in the past few years?"
Sar Apollo asked with interest.
"That's him. He's also an outstanding researcher. I'm sure you'll get along well."
Lu Li said, throwing down the hook again, "Please repair Xuye Palace during this period of time, and I will give you some research materials later."
Sar Apollo was excited. Although he could only conduct research under supervision, it was better than not getting any research materials. He was immediately full of energy. "Mr. Lu, please rest assured. I will build the Hueco Mundo Palace into the appearance that the capital of the Hueco Mundo should be."
He has many subordinates and many scientific methods to help with construction. With a solid foundation, decoration is not a difficult task for him.
"Harribel, please help manage the Hueco-Yoya Palace with Xiaowu and maintain the stability of the central area of Hueco-Mundo. You can also recruit some Hollows with stronger rationality to join the Hueco-Yoya Palace."
Lu Li gave instructions. The reason why he asked these two people to manage the palace was mainly because they had been proven to have management talents and their personalities were more suitable for commanding Xuye Palace.
Harribel is both emotional and rational, while Xiaowu is more logical and rational. They complement each other and can ensure that no mistakes will occur in the affairs of the palace.
As for Nilu...she is indeed not suitable for management, so she should go and play with Pei Xue and Dondechaka. Stark seems to be unmotivated in doing anything, so he would definitely not be happy to be asked to do busy management work.
"Mr. Lu, what about you?"
In the face of Lu Li's assignment, Helibel had no objection, but just looked at Lu Li with some confusion.
According to Lu Li's previous statement, he wanted to rule the Hueco Mundo. How come now that he has conquered the Hueco Mundo and is about to rebuild a new order, Lu Li has handed over the job of managing the Hueco Mundo to them?
"I have something to do and need to go back to Soul Society. I can't stay in Hueco Mundo for long."
Lu Li explained, "Besides, I am a human Shinigami after all. It would be too weird for me to be the King of Hueco Mundo. It is better to leave the job of ruling on the surface to a reliable Hollow."
"It seems that I have been defined as unreliable."
Stark was scratching his hair, looking sleepy.
"In terms of combat power, Stark, you should be the strongest. You are the most reliable in this regard. But do you really want to manage the Xuye Palace?"
Lu Li said with a smile.
Stark waved his hands repeatedly, "Forget it, let Harribel and Ulquiorra do it."
"Hey, Li, do you think I'm unreliable?"
Ni Lu also came back to her senses and looked at Lu Li with dissatisfaction.
"Of course not, but I think you shouldn't like this kind of work either, Nilu? It's rare that you advance to Vastod and are no longer in danger of degeneration. Shouldn't you focus on enjoying life and spending time with your friends?"
Lu Li shook his head and said, "Besides, Xuye Palace also needs your fighting power. You can just live your daily life here. If you have any opinions, you can discuss them with Xiao Wu and the others." Ni Lu nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and hugged Lu Li intimately, "Li still understands me the best!"
Lu Li put one hand on Ni Lu's shoulder and said, "Stop it, who was the one who drew on my face before?"
Nilu's surprise attack failed, and her cheeks puffed up slightly, "Li, you really hold a grudge. At worst, I'll let you draw whatever you want next time."
Can I draw anywhere?
Lu Li looked up and down at Ni Lu's explosive curves, and thinking about the scene under her clothes, he felt something was not good.
Fortunately, his determination in martial arts was firm, and he cleared away all distracting thoughts in an instant.
"Okay, let's stop making a fuss for now. After I settle the matter at the Kyonoku Palace, I still have to make some preparations before returning to Soul Society."
Lu Li changed the subject and prepared to report the results and progress to Sosuke first.
He had almost finished looting everything in Hueco Mundo, and there were not infinite Achukas. After a series of battles in Hueco Mundo, he had killed too many Achukas, and it was almost impossible to find any hostile Achukas that could produce inheritance crystals.
Moreover, considering the changes in the structure of Xuye Palace in the future, most of the Yachukas who come to the nearby area will come to join them, so Lu Li naturally cannot hunt for side quests anymore.
So he had already reaped all the benefits of Hueco Mundo, and now he should consider his plans after returning to Soul Society.
The Soul Singer has been very quiet in the past month, but Lu Li is sure that he will not give up hunting his soul seeds and must be making some preparations.
He had the help of Sosuke, and since the other party was in the Quincy camp, it might not be impossible for him to collude with the Invisible Empire.
Moreover, because the original novel gave less information at this point in time, Lu Li was not sure what level the current Quincy was at.
According to the original work and Sosuke's information, Soul Society will launch a general attack on the living Quincy camp in the near future.
Judging from the results, the only Quincy camp left in the world was Ishida Uryuu's lineage, as the rest were all killed by Soul Society.
Judging from Kurotsuchi Mayuri's research records, there are actually quite a few Quincies in the world today, numbering tens of thousands.
According to Aizen's investigation, the Gotei 13 do not underestimate this offensive action. It is said that the captain-general will also supervise the battle and does not rule out the possibility of taking action.
Therefore, Lu Li realized that the Quincies in the world were not a weak force. Considering the participation of explorers, it would not be easy for the Gotei 13 to win this battle.
Putting aside other things, the stronger ones among the fourth-level explorers generally have the level of entry-level captains. If they can't beat the captain of the Gotei 13, how can they beat the vice-captain and the chief officer?
To sum up, perhaps Hueco Mundo is the weakest party in this mission world.
It was only now, because of this external force, that two new Vastodes were born in Hueco Mundo, and with five Vastodes stationed in Hueco Mundo, the defense force became solid.
After this battle, those explorers of the chaotic space will either choose to go to the Great Void Forest to quietly reap the benefits, or choose to flee to the human world and consider making other arrangements.
While he is carrying out his plan to rule Hueco Mundo, other explorers of the mission world will not be idle either. I believe that in the subsequent battle to annihilate the Quincies, all kinds of powerful people will come out to show their magical powers.
Therefore, before the war begins, he needs to further improve himself, and most importantly, he has to master Bankai.

The present world, Karakura Town (1800 edition)
The early morning sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, dappling onto the ancient stone road.
On both sides of the street, the wooden eaves swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound.
The air is filled with the aroma of freshly baked sushi rice balls and grilled fish, attracting early risers. The market is already bustling with vendors shouting about the freshness of their own produce, and the stalls are filled with colorful vegetables and fruits.
Schoolchildren dressed in simple kimonos and bamboo hats walked hand in hand through the streets. The sound of their wooden clogs on the stone slabs was crisp and pleasant. They carried cloth bags filled with books and brushes, and recited the Three Character Classic softly. Their childish voices formed a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle of the street.
In the distance, a group of women in kimonos lifted their skirts and walked carefully across the street on the gravel path. Their laughter was as gentle as the chirping of birds in spring, bringing a touch of gentleness to this busy morning.
Compared with these gentle women, the woman in black tights seemed a little out of place. She exuded the wildness of a cat and moved nimbly through the streets.
"Master Yoruichi, please slow down a bit, the spiritual pressure detection here is not yet complete!"
Not far behind her, a petite girl with shoulder-length hair was chasing closely like a kite with a string.
Ye Yi stopped in front of a grilled fish stall and generously took out the money of this era, "Boss, give me two grilled fish."
Then she turned around to look at the petite girl who was catching up with her, panting slightly, and said with a smile: "Sui Feng, you still need to practice."
Upon hearing this, Soi-Fong quickly steadied her breath. It was the first time for her to use her artificial body in the real world, and she was still a little uncomfortable with it.
"Master Yoruichi, aren't we here to investigate the spiritual pressure anomalies here and search for the missing soldiers? How can we just eat, drink and play here all the time?"
Soi-Fong is still young, and there is even a little bit of baby fat visible on the sides of her cheeks covered by her straight short hair.
This is her seventh year in the Xing Army, and she has just been transferred to Ye Yi's side. However, after she actually met Ye Yi, she found that the Mr. Ye Yi, whom she had admired since childhood, was a little different from what she had imagined.
Judging from her behavior and conduct, she doesn't look like a Xing army commander at all. Instead, she looks like a fun-loving girl.
Facing Soi-Fong's question, Yoruichi's expression became serious, "Sui-Fong, do you know what a stealth maneuver is?"
They all used spiritual pressure techniques when they spoke, so ordinary people could not hear the content of their conversation, which is why Soi Fong's shouting was so loud before.
Soi-Fong's heart tightened, and she was about to start reciting, "According to the secret maneuver regulations..."
However, Yoruichi just covered Soi-Fong's mouth with a sly smile, and held her in his arms. When he lowered his head, his chin rested on Soi-Fong's shoulder, and his red lips approached Soi-Fong's delicate earlobe. "When performing a mission, a covert mobile unit must blend into the environment. Now that we have come to the real world, we must adapt to the local customs and pretend to enjoy life."
