Chapter 372 What is Lu Jun in such a hurry for?
"Central Office 46 asked me to teach?"
Lu Li blinked, thinking he had heard it wrongly, "Are you kidding?"
"Do you think I'm joking?"
Unohana narrowed her eyes and said, "Captain Lu, according to the instructions of Room 46, your group of teachers will take up their posts tomorrow."
"I……"
Lu Li raised his finger and pointed at himself, "...Teach? Teach students?"
"Is it not possible? You are also the captain now. According to tradition, except for special circumstances, every captain will take time out to teach at the Maou Spiritual Academy for a period of time."
Unohana explained, "Just like I used to go to the Shinō Spiritual Academy to teach Kaido, your position this time is the Kendo Slashing Technique teacher, after all, you are the new Kenpachi."
Lu Li felt a bit overwhelmed after hearing this. To be honest, he didn't want to teach students. The remaining time was neither too little nor too much. He also wanted to find time to work on the Spirit King's limbs.
Even if he had to stay in Soul Society, he wanted to focus on his own training instead of taking care of children.
However, now that the order from the Central 46th Room has been passed down, it is estimated that all the captains and deputy captains have received the information. It is impossible for him to let Sosuke hypnotize the 46th Room to revoke the order because of such a trivial matter.
Besides, the list of these teachers was mostly nominated by the captain-general, so he had no room to refuse.
"Why are they suddenly recruiting a group of new teachers? Didn't the teaching staff of the Maou Spiritual Academy already have enough?"
Lu Li asked doubtfully.
"Captain Lu, how many people do you think died in the battle a few days ago?"
Unohana said with a serious expression, "Five captains alone died, six or seven vice-captains also died, not to mention the chief officers. Most of the teachers in the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts served in the Gotei 13. Do you think the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts still has a strong faculty?"
Lu Li suddenly realized that because of the war, many teachers at the Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy had died or been injured, and there were probably not even half of the original number of teachers left who could teach.
In addition, the Gotei 13 suffered heavy losses after this battle. Compared with the casualties of elites above the rank of chief officer, the casualties of the lower-level Shinigami were more serious. After all, the Quincies had many AOE skills, and a large number of cannon fodder would die in one battle.
It sounds a bit harsh to call them cannon fodder, but these grassroots death gods are by no means useless to the operation of the world, because no matter how powerful the death gods like the captain and the deputy captain are, it is impossible for them to take care of the entire Dongshao area.
Normally, each small area will be under the charge of a grassroots god of death. Only by casting a wide net can the stable operation of the three realms be maintained.
Right now, a large number of Death Gods have been killed, and there are more Hollows in the world. Their actions have become rampant, and the balance has begun to be broken.
This is also one of the reasons why Captain-General Yamamoto did not order to continue to clear out the scattered remnants of the Quincy in the world after the war. After all, the God of Death is now unable to maintain the balance of the world, and the Hollows are frequently devouring the souls of the human world, which is more serious than the Quincy eliminating the Hollows.
In a sense, they still need the power of the remaining Quincies to eliminate the Hollows that are rampant in the world, so that the world can continue to function.
Therefore, before the Gotei 13 have recruited new members, the Shinigami will not take further action against the Quincies. Anyway, the remaining remnants cannot cause any trouble.
The most urgent task for Soul Society is to recruit new soldiers. The Maou Spiritual Arts Academy must be put into operation to train a new batch of talents and replenish new blood for the Gotei 13.
In this situation, due to the shortage of high-end talents, it is estimated that many captains and vice-captains have been called up to coach.
Anyway, the war has just ended, and there won’t be any major operations for the captain to handle in the near future.
Unohana was not summoned, probably because she was also responsible for the post-war treatment of the wounded, so she was excluded by the captain-general.
"You will take office tomorrow..."
Lu Li scratched his head and said, "I really have never taught my students well."
He used to be the one being taught, and in fact the master didn't spend much effort in teaching him. Basically, he would learn something after just seeing it once.
The same goes for the ancient books in his master's warehouse. He could understand some of the essence of the books by flipping through them as if they were storybooks, so he really didn't know how good his master was at teaching his apprentice.
He himself wasn't very sure about it either. After all, he used many of his moves based on his feelings, so it was difficult for him to explain them.
Before in the Naruto world, when he taught Naruto and Sasuke, he was actually just giving them some small tips on fighting techniques.
"In the past, I think the only captain of the 11th Division who taught there was Kuriyashiki. Given the style of the 11th Division, he is not really suitable for teaching. But nowadays, there is a shortage of talent. I think Captain Lu might be a good teacher."
Unohana said with a smile.
"No way, I'll try."
Lu Li could only accept the status quo and treat it as a way to relax after the war, as part of his soul cultivation.
He personally called the new ability he realized in the battle with the Soul Singer Soul Will. When he read novels in the past, he always saw cool things like sword will and knife will, and he was very eager to possess them.
But after truly comprehending the relevant abilities, he felt that simply naming them as sword intent or knife intent was a bit biased. The power itself was derived from the soul and heart, and theoretically could be used in any martial arts field.
Using a knife is knife intent, using a sword is sword intent, using a fist is fist intent, so Lu Li prefers to call it soul intent.
It can only be said that his ultimate training ground experience card was well used last time. If he had not faced the indescribable ultimate strong man, it would probably take him a long time to comprehend this power.
But since he had seen the mountains in advance, it was naturally easier for him to move on to the next realm. After questioning his conscience, he naturally comprehended the meaning of the soul, which allowed him to perform Bankai.
The essential principle of his ability to use Bankai is to restrain the soul, using the power of the soul to guide the demon deep in his soul, breaking the chains, opening the cage, allowing its power to burst out while suppressing it with the soul to prevent the cage door from opening completely.
Lu Li had a hunch that once the cage was completely opened, not only would he completely lose himself, but a disaster that he could hardly imagine might also occur.
Even the world of death will vanish in an instant.
His intuition has always been accurate, so he would never let himself lose control. He decided to never try the tip about growth in the Demon Prisoner, which was also a way to feed his own soul.
According to his understanding, once he feeds it with his own soul, the cage that imprisons the demon god will probably have a permanent crack. This is the principle of power enhancement, but the problem is that the crack will never be closed again.
As time goes by, he will be corrupted by it sooner or later, and then he will become a mindless killing puppet. Now Lu Li can be completely sure that the demon in the depths of his soul is not a normal manifestation of Zanpakuto. After all, in the memory reflected by the soul singer, he clearly saw this time that he had stimulated a little bit of that power when he was still very young.
At that time, he was too nervous and too young, so he didn't remember many things clearly. However, the reflection of the soul notes allowed him to see and hear clearly. Among those who besieged the master, someone mentioned some key words.
Before entering the space, Lu Li was only thinking about revenge and killing those people after finding them.
To be honest, he didn't care about the reasons why those people hunted down his master. He only saw the results, so he only used the results to settle the grudge and killed all those martial arts masters.
But now that he thought about it carefully, he felt that he had missed a lot of clues. For example, what was the "sinkhole" mentioned by those people? Was the storybook he read really just a storybook? Was it really just his imagination that allowed him to use the skills in it?
Furthermore, what is the 'holy soul' mentioned by the leading man? Is it related to the demon in his body?
If the Holy Soul refers to the demon in his body, then the world he originally lived in might not be as simple as he imagined.
With his thoughts in mind, Lu Li bid farewell to Unohana and returned to the 11th Squadron's barracks, ready to calm down and practice soul cultivation.
"Are these the only ones in the 11th Division?"
Lu Li looked at the newly renovated team barracks and the Grim Reapers lined up in front of him, feeling somewhat surprised.
"Captain Lu, our 11th Division is a combat division. We suffered the heaviest casualties in the previous battle. All those who are still alive have arrived."
Gosuke replied from the side.
There were only a dozen soldiers from the 210th Squadron standing in front of Lu Li at this time. As far as he knew, the 1th Squadron had a fixed strength of 1 people, consisting of 8 captain + 200 vice-captain + officers + soldiers.
As a result, there were only thirteen people standing in front of him, including the five assistants.
In that battle, only the soldiers of the 11th Squadron died in action, but there were no post-war casualties, which shows how brave the team spirit was.
All eight officers were killed in the battle, and those who were still alive were ordinary soldiers who were lucky.
"Gosuke, do you want to die?"
Lu Li turned around and asked Wuzhu a question, which left Wuzhu confused.
"Ah? Captain, did I do something wrong?"
Wuzhu said nervously, thinking that he had displeased the new captain. He had witnessed the other party's bravery. At the same time, Lu Li's crazy posture during the battle also made him sure that Lu Li was a battle maniac and should have a very bad temper.
"If you don't want to die, you will be the chief from today on. I will elect a vice-captain later."
Lu Li said that he did not want such an incompetent and cowardly vice-captain, and when recruiting personnel for the 11th Squadron in the future, he would try to select newcomers with strong fighting styles.
"This...I will follow the captain's orders."
Gosuke didn't have much desire for power, and he was only demoted to a chief officer, so his salary wouldn't be much different.
"Also, after everyone here recovers from their injuries, go to Rukongai to find someone strong enough to join the 11th Division."
Lu Li issued a new order. After all, he was a captain now. Having too few people in charge would not be conducive to his subsequent search in Soul Society. The most urgent task was to recruit new members.
After finishing the arrangements in the 11th Division and getting to know the soldiers, Lu Li went to look for his acquaintances.
After walking around, he found out that not only he and Sosuke were asked to be teachers, but all the captains except Unohana and Kyōraku were appointed to teach, but the teaching content was more flexible.
Although Captain Yamamoto gave them recommended teaching subjects, such as Lu Li's kendo, they can actually choose to adjust it themselves as long as the original substitute teacher is willing to switch with you.
Lu Li had no plans to change courses, but Sosuke switched courses with another vice-captain and was going to teach calligraphy.
"It's really troublesome, I have to take five classes a week or something."
After Lu Li arrived at the room of Aizen from the 5th Division, he sighed, "Doesn't this mean that we have to stay in Seireitei all the time?"
"Mr. Lu, don't be anxious. I still have no idea about the development of the Hogyoku. I need to discuss it with Urahara Kisuke."
Aizen said with a smile, he was in a very good mood, after all, he really liked calligraphy, so he just entertained himself while teaching, "Besides, he is also teaching, we can discuss it often after class."
“Peace…”
Lu Li stretched lazily. There was nothing wrong with peace, except that he had no place to release his new power. He really wanted to practice Bankai and Soul Will by feeling it.
As a result, after he came back, even Unohana-sensei was busy with the mission of the Fourth Division and had no time to practice with him.
And considering their current strength, the next competition will not be a simple joke. Even the secret and mobile underground training ground will not be enough for them.
If they didn't want the spiritual pressure to affect the Soul Society, they might have to find an empty floor in the Maou Underground Prison to have a pleasant battle.
"Mr. Lu, are you anxious to improve your strength? Your virtual power seems to have disappeared. I'm afraid it's because of the special substance in your body. Do you need to replenish it?"
Aizen saw the hidden anxiety in Lu Li, but he didn't understand why Lu Li was so anxious.
As Death Gods, they have long lifespans. Considering that both of them are only a hundred years old, they are considered very young among Death Gods. Moreover, they already have strength that surpasses ordinary captains, so there is no need to rush.
There is a long time to come. According to his plan, he is prepared to spend more than a hundred years just to make the perfect broken jade.
He estimated that it would take about 150 years for his strength to reach its peak, during which time Lu Jun's strength would continue to improve.
When both of them have reached the extreme, they can start to implement the plan. By then, no one in the Three Realms will be able to block their way.
But he could sense from Lu Li's emotions and the details of his usual words that Lu Li seemed to be in a hurry to do things, like a dying person who wanted to arrange his funeral affairs.
This is so strange. After all, although Lu Li has gray hair on his temples now, he looks healthy and strong overall. What is he in such a hurry for?
