Chapter 331 The Captain Drawing His Sword
Chapter 331 The Captain Drawing His Sword
Lu Li’s current true damage multiplier is already quite impressive, the only problem is that if the defense cannot be broken at all, the true damage cannot be triggered.
For example, when he was fighting with the Soul Singer before, his thunder was blocked by the opponent's barrier. In this case, his Soul Eater Ring could not be triggered.
The same is true when the blades intersect. When facing some opponents, he can hurt the opponent through the penetrating sword energy. Once the defense is broken, the damage will trigger the Soul Eater and be accompanied by various special effects of the Demon Prisoner.
He had used this trick before to beat Shinsen to pieces, and it worked very well in the world of One Piece.
However, these little tricks are only effective against the weak, and are not effective against people with extremely strong comprehensive combat capabilities. For example, when attacking someone with extremely high spiritual pressure, if the opponent specializes in defense, his hardness cannot be broken through.
The reason why he had to explain his Zanpakutō abilities to the captain-general first was because he learned it from Sosuke. After all, there were many abilities in him that could not be explained by the Bleach worldview, so it was better to attribute them all to his Zanpakutō. Even if it was a lie, there would be no flaws.
"Boy, do you think you can hurt me?"
The captain looked at Lu Li's Zanpakutō after it was released, "Decades have passed, and although your strength has increased, your confidence has inflated even more than your strength has increased."
He said that he would test both his sword skills, but he had no intention of drawing his sword. He just made a starting move for a boxing move.
“It’s the students who are conceited.”
Lu Li said with a smile, then his expression became serious and his figure disappeared in the next moment.
Ding--
A sound like the clashing of metal was heard. Although Lu Li had expected it, it still felt a little outrageous.
The moment his figure appeared, the blade of the demon prisoner slashed the captain's fist. Not only did he fail to hurt him, he couldn't even leave a white mark on the captain's skin.
"Nice flash step, but it makes a lot of noise."
The captain just exerted a little force and sent Lu Li flying. "And your Zanpakutō, if it really has that ability as you said, is also a considerable power. However, when facing an opponent stronger than you, this power seems to be a bit useless."
He stepped forward and looked at Lu Li who was flung against the wall and stood on the wall for support. "Come, let me test the strength of your Zanpakutō."
Lu Li's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and when he bent his legs and exerted force against the wall, he had already activated the Ghost Escape Armor, which increased his overall attributes to 88 points.
In Soul Society, relatively stable skills like the Dragon Transformation Technique were not very useful, because the appearance of dragon scales was too obvious, and he had just returned from Hueco Mundo, which made it easy for people to gossip.
However, at the moment, because his temporary attributes did not increase much and were not used in conjunction with the Dragon Transformation Technique, the burden of the Ghost Escape Armor on his body would be smaller. In addition, because it was a passive skill, he could almost maintain this state and keep fighting until his strength was exhausted.
Facing the peak of the pure death god, Lu Li also understood that there was no need for him to hold back. Even if he slashed with all his strength, he would not really hurt the captain, so when he exerted force with his legs, he burst out like a meteor, and in an instant a piercing sonic boom sounded in the martial arts field.
With his essence, energy and spirit united as one, Shan Qing slashed forward with his sword, which was powerful and fell with an indestructible will.
boom--
The sound of the collision this time seemed even duller. What surprised Lu Li was that when the captain's overwhelming force swept away his blade, he saw blood splattering.
Lu Li had adjusted his body shape when he flipped in the air and landed on the ground. He looked at the bloodstain on the captain's fist with some surprise.
"I see. It is indeed a domineering force. Even my spiritual pressure cannot suppress the spread of the injury."
The captain looked at the wound on his hand thoughtfully, "Boy, don't hold back. I'm just testing the power of your Zanpakuto."
He just deliberately relaxed the spiritual pressure on his skin a little, allowing Lu Li's blade to break through the defense. Feeling the corrosive force and the fixed damage that burst out every second, he was a little surprised.
There are tens of thousands of Zanpakutō in Soul Society, and their abilities are all kinds of fancy. Captain-General Yamamoto doesn't completely agree with the cliché that 'there are no weak abilities, only weak Shinigami'.
The powers of the Shinigami certainly vary, but there is also a difference between weak and strong abilities. Some Zanpakuto abilities are suitable for combat, while others are naturally not very advantageous in frontal combat.
In the captain's opinion, Lu Li's Zanpakutō is very "pure". It is actually quite good that it does not have any natural abilities. With this kind of pure violent damage, it is powerful enough to kill opponents of the same level or even slightly stronger than him.
If he had had a master as capable as Lu Li's Zanpakuto by his side eight hundred years ago, he might have been able to reduce a lot of losses in the process of repelling Yhwach.
"In fact, the student's Zanpakutō power can be further improved, but that would seem a bit disrespectful to the captain-general."
Lu Li said that mainly from the chapter of the thousand-year bloody battle, he always felt that the captain was actually a "fragile"
The spiritual pressure is very high, but once his defense is broken, the captain-general does not seem to be able to withstand attacks. It may also be that after being tricked by Yhwach, the captain-general was unwilling to slaughter his subordinates, which led to him being stabbed to death.
"Boy, your thoughts are disrespectful to me. Use all your strength!"
The captain's beard fluttered as he took his first active step forward to attack. When he threw a punch, the reinforced space in the training ground was dented.
Faced with such a powerful punch, Lu Li subconsciously drew his knife, and when the blade and fist met, blood spurted out again.
Lu Li himself was blown away by the huge force. Even with his outstanding force-dissipating skills, he still plowed a long mark on the ground and stopped only when it reached the wall.
"Interesting, Shikai's ability is pretty good, but Bankai should be even stronger, right?"
The captain said thoughtfully. At this time, he had somewhat forgotten his original intention of testing Lu Li, and he admired the power of Lu Li's Zanpakuto.
Rather, he now understood why Lu Li was able to survive in the Hueco Mundo. With such a powerful Zanpakuto ability, if Lu Li had concentrated his mind to dodge every attack of the Hollow and continued to cause defense-breaking damage to Killian, he could have worn the opponent down to death.
If he had been luckier, and had been able to hone his spiritual power and combat skills while hiding in the Great Void Forest, it would not be surprising that Lu Li survived.
After Lu Li further increased his power, he felt the damage bursting out of his body, which had obviously tripled. Even he could not ignore this kind of damage. If his defense was broken every time, Lu Li would really kill him after a long time.
"Why, boy, do you find it strange that I look fine?"
The captain waved his fist, and after the blood on it spilled out, the skin underneath had already healed, and there was no sign of discomfort on his body.
"Captain, did you use Huidao?"
Lu Li analyzed. He was indeed surprised for a moment. After all, his real damage was no joke. Even if the captain was a fifth-level super master, once his defense was broken by the Soul Eater's real damage, he would suffer obvious injuries.
But the captain just observed the power of the prisoner as if nothing had happened, without any discomfort. "Yes, another weakness of your Zanpakuto's ability is that when facing an opponent with super-fast regeneration ability, the advantage will be reduced."
Captain Yamamoto said, "However, your Zanpakutō should still have a certain inhibitory effect on healing, so you don't have to worry too much about that. You just need to pay attention to increasing your single-hit damage and have the ability to end the battle."
Lu Lixin said that the captain-general was worthy of being a veteran of thousands of years of bloody battles, and his words hit the nail on the head. However, he said that his Prison Demon had a very high healing effect, so how come it became a 'certain inhibitory healing effect' in your mouth?
Sure enough, the pinnacle of the Zhanquan Zougui move is not an empty statement, and even the less popular Huidao can be used by the captain-general.
"Thank you for your guidance, Captain. We will work hard to improve ourselves."
Lu Li held the knife in both hands and took cautious steps sideways, observing the captain's every move, trying to find any flaws.
In the brief encounters just now, he has realized how naive his previous thoughts were. Even if we only consider pure fighting expertise, the captain is definitely better than Shen Wulong.
It was just that the captain-general didn't take himself seriously when he was educating himself in the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy. Now, apart from using spiritual pressure to protect his body surface, the captain-general did not use spiritual pressure that was too much beyond his current stage, but he still suppressed himself with just his fists.
Roughly speaking, the captain's combat expertise is at the peak of the grandmaster level.
To put it more extremely, there is probably no one in this world who is better at honing his skills than the captain.
Even if there is a creature that can defeat the captain, it does not mean that it has surpassed him in terms of combat skills. It is either a numerical crushing or a mechanical crushing, neither of which is a suppression in the field of martial arts.
"So, where is your Bankai? Boy, let me see it."
Captain Yamamoto looked at Lu Li with interest but did not launch an attack.
Speaking of this, Lu Li was a little embarrassed, "The student has not yet learned Bankai."
He knew why the captain-general asked him about Bankai, because his current state attributes were very high. In the captain-general's opinion, his spiritual pressure had reached the captain level, so it was reasonable to think that he had already learned Bankai.
"Really? It's normal to feel a little regretful."
The captain was not surprised to hear this. After all, in his opinion, Lu Li was still young, only a little over a hundred years old. It was already remarkable that he had such strength at this age.
At least in the previous free-fighting competition, it has been proved that Lu Li is stronger than Ye Yi, who is the best free-fighting among the current captains.
"Well, let's start now, the formal examination."
The captain stretched out one hand towards the scepter-shaped blade, which made Lu Li's pupils shrink.
"It seems that the captain is quite satisfied with the students."
Lu Li's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and the prisoner demon in his hand seemed to sense his master's emotions, and let out a sword chant.
"Don't be complacent, kid, grit your teeth..."
The captain slowly drew out Ryujin Jakka, "...Don't die."
The moment the words fell, in front of the shocked gazes of Pingzi and the others, the captain's figure disappeared from the spot. When he charged forward, it was not the "elegant instant step" that everyone had expected, but a fierce explosive force that caused the ground constructed of murderous stones in the hidden and mobile martial arts field to collapse.
Amid the roar, swords collided, creating dazzling sparks.
When the blades collided, the two sides separated in an instant, adjusted their steps and swung their swords again while moving. In the extremely fast battle, to outsiders it looked like two streams of light attracted to each other wandering and colliding in the martial arts field.
Every time the streams of light met, they sparked sparks like iron trees and silver flowers. The ground sank where the collision occurred, and the shock wave and airflow generated made the clothes of several captains rustle.
"To be able to fight the captain to this extent in the field of kendo..."
Hirako Mako spoke in surprise, he had excellent eyesight and could tell that although the captain-general did not use too strong spiritual pressure to overwhelm his opponent, he was serious when he drew his sword and fought without holding back much.
But facing the captain's fierce and experienced attacks, Lu Li not only blocked them all, but also had room for counterattack.
"Damn it, he didn't even use his full strength before... What an annoying guy."
Ye Yi couldn't help but complain, because she could see that Lu Li's fighting level was much higher now than before.
It can be said that under the captain's high-pressure attack, every judgment made by Lu Li seemed extremely subtle to her. His state of concentration was completely different from the ease he had when he fought with her before.
"Sure enough, it's judgment..."
Chojiro watched the battle thoughtfully. As early as when Lu Li was still a student at the Maou Spiritual Academy, he had watched Lu Li fight on the podium and listened to the captain's comments.
The captain said at the time that Lu Li’s strength was not a matter of his proficiency in combat skills, but rather his instinctive judgment in combat.
In his opinion, Captain Yamamoto's offense and defense in the battle were perfect, but this excellent judgment of the battle situation was not innate, but the experience accumulated from thousands of years of bloody battles, which turned into an instinct in his muscles.
But how old is Lu Li? The fact that he can do all this can only mean that he is born with this talent. This kind of talent is hard to find. Even if you look through the history of Soul Society, you may not be able to find a second person with this talent.
Now he understood why the captain said excitedly that he wanted to give this guy a try when he heard that Lu Li was found.
Because if Lu Li can be educated and trained properly, he may become the backbone of Soul Society in the future. Even if the three realms encounter major changes, they will have more confidence to deal with it.
boom--
Amid the roar, Lu Li's figure flew backwards and hit the wall, leaving a deep hole.
The captain raised his hand, and Chojiro understood and quickly walked over to hand over his haori.
He pulled up his Death Tyrant suit and put on his haori, then looked at the somewhat embarrassed Lu Li who walked out of the smoke and dust, "Boy, you are still young, you still need to practice."
Lu Li used Hui Dao to heal his broken bones. In the last confrontation just now, he was a little slow and had no solution. He was crushed by pure numerical strength.
