Chapter 373: Students of the Five Great Nobles

Chapter 373 Students of the Five Nobles
"Soyousuke..."

Lu Li noticed the look in Aizen's eyes and hesitated to speak, "Let's not do it. We will use it again later anyway, so I won't bother you any more."

He felt that Sosuke had already noticed his weirdness. As a pioneer, there were always some unreasonable things about him. Maybe his sensitivity to time made the other party discover the trick.

After all, as a god of death whose upper limit of lifespan is thousands of years, there is a lot to do in a long time, and there is no need for him to be obsessed with a few days or months.

As for the Hollow, he didn't plan to keep this power. Because Nilu and the others helped him to infuse and create the Vastrod-class Hollow last time, their strength has not yet recovered. It would be too much of a hassle to wait until they are fully recovered before making a new Hollow.

If they had not consumed their fundamental spiritual pressure to help themselves create a waly-class hollow, they should have been able to exert even greater power in the battle in Soul Society.

"Really? If you have any troubles, you can tell me. Also..."

Aizen paused, "Don't just disappear without saying a word."

Lu Li's pupils wavered for a moment when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he said, "Sosuke, to be honest, I will disappear in a few months. I will go on a long journey to practice."

He used this statement and found that the End Space did not give him any warning. It seems that as long as he did not mention key terms such as the End Space and Explorers, and used reasons such as going on a long journey, he would not violate the rules.

"Oh? Traveling far to practice?"

Aizen looked amused, "How far is it?"

"You'll never be able to find me on your own initiative, Sosuke."

Lu Li explained the words, and the rest was up to Aizen to understand.

Aizen's ability to accept was surprisingly strong. He just pondered for a moment, then revealed a sigh of regret, "This is really lonely, but since Lu Jun said so, there must be a reason for the long journey."

He knew that what Lu Li had told him was the limit of what he could reveal. He didn't know why, but he could feel that Lu Li didn't want to hide anything from him, he was just limited in certain areas.

Lu Jun would most likely not tell the captain-general about these conversations, and he would definitely disappear abruptly at that time. By then, Lu Li would probably be the captain with the shortest tenure in the history of the Gotei 13.

"I have to go, but there are still a few months left. During this time, I can help Sosuke with some things."

Lu Li said with a smile.

"After disappearing this time, will it come back?"

Aizen also tried to word it. He didn't know what he was testing, but he was not testing Lu Li, but some unknown higher power.

"Although Sosuke doesn't like this sentence structure, I still want to say it, believe me, I will come back..."

Lu Li said with a firm look in his eyes, "I will come back before the final plan begins and help Sosuke ascend to the throne of heaven."

"That's all I said, but Mr. Lu kept talking about the Throne of Heaven. It sounds weird."

Aizen complained with a smile.

"Hey, it's obviously you who's the chuunibyou, right!?"

Lu Li couldn't help but retort, and the serious atmosphere was instantly broken.

"Secondary two?"

"Oh, it's just... it's hard to explain to you..."

…………

"Well, that's about it, let's get into the actual combat..."

Lu Li stood in the center of the dojo, explaining the principles of swordsmanship to the students and demonstrating some techniques.

Today is already his third day teaching at the Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy. In the past few days, he only taught some theories and concealed his sword skills, and did not let the young students practice actual combat.

Surprisingly, he found that he was quite good at teaching students. He explained and demonstrated the knife techniques that he had instinctively figured out in an easy-to-understand way, allowing many students to feel the subtlety of them.

The result was that he had only been teaching at the Maou Spiritual Academy for three days when his classes were already full. Those students who could not attend his classes due to class divisions and scheduling would also crowd outside the door to watch, hoping to learn a little bit.

Due to his theoretical teaching and demonstration, some students have made breakthroughs in swordsmanship in the past few days, causing a stir in the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy.

So much so that even today, many of the chief officers and deputy captains who come to serve as teachers crowd in the back of the dojo to listen carefully, hoping to learn something or other.

"Kuchiki-san, Shiba-san, you two should set an example."

Lu Li pointed to two students with great interest.

He finally understood why so many people like to be teachers. He could only say that if teaching is successful, there will be a different kind of satisfaction, which is also a reflection of self-worth recognition.

The identities of the two students in front of him were even more interesting.

Because the Gotei 13 suffered heavy casualties after the battle of Seireitei, the Central 46th Office ordered the Maou Academy to recruit new forces. In order to set an example, the five great nobles also sent their family disciples to the Maou Academy.

Normally, because the five noble families are rather arrogant, they usually do not allow the elites in their families to go to school. All of them are trained in a closed elite manner within the clan, and what they teach is better and more specialized than that of the Spiritual Arts Academy.

When Yoruichi Shihouin came to the Maou Spiritual Academy to study, it was purely because Yoruichi was lively and favored, her family did not discipline her well, and she insisted on coming to school, so she joined the Maou Spiritual Academy.

Before she entered school, she had actually learned a lot. Her spiritual pressure level and instant step and byakuda level were far beyond the reach of ordinary students.

The two young men in front of Lu Li at this moment were in the same situation. Although they were not very old and looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, the spiritual power on their bodies was not low, at least at the eighth level.

One is Byakuya Kuchiki of the Kuchiki family, and the other is Isshin Shiba of the Shiba family.

Well, he is the cool and aloof male god of later generations, Senbonzakura Biou, and the father of the wall-hanging Kurosaki Ichigo.

"Bai Ya, stop looking so stern. I won't show mercy just because you look sad."

After Shiba Isshin walked into the open area in the center of the dojo, he picked up a wooden sword and spoke with a slightly provocative tone.

Because of the battle a few days ago, in which Byakuya Kuchiki's grandfather, Captain Ginrin Kuchiki, was killed, Byakuya has been in a low mood these days.

Lu Li knew that Byakuya was very cheerful and active when he was young, and he was easily angered, just like an ordinary boy, but after experiencing various things in the original work, and with the death of his wife, he gradually became that calm and cold person. Now that Byakuya's grandfather passed away, he did lose some vitality, but under Shiba Isshin's words, it was like a firecracker that was lit, and the veins on his forehead were exposed instantly.

"Issin, you said this with the understanding that you are ready to be beaten, right?"

After being enraged, Byakuya's demeanor immediately changed. He was no longer depressed, and he picked up his wooden sword and attacked.

The two little guys entered into a fighting state, and the wooden swords collided with each other in the field. The sound of ping-pong was endless, which made the students present admire them again and again.

They were using wooden swords, which were supposed to be fragile, but both of them had great skills in controlling their spiritual pressure, extending it over the wooden swords, which acted as a protective barrier, making them tougher and sharper.

Therefore, even if it is a wooden sword, with the strength of the two of them, if they encounter a hollow, they may be able to kill it.

At this time, both sides were fighting with real fire, and they no longer cared about releasing their spiritual pressure. They moved rapidly in the venue, stirring up whirlwinds and blowing the uniforms of the spectators around.

"Is this still a student? The Reiatsu of the chief officer is only this high, right?"

"It's so frustrating. Is it true that the talents of the nobles are not comparable to ours?"

"Don't say that. I heard that Mr. Lu is also a commoner, but he set a record for the fastest graduation from the Spiritual Arts Academy. He is now the captain of the strongest eleventh division."

"..."

The students watched the battle in amazement, mainly because the strength of Kuchiki Byakuya and Shiba Isshin was too extraordinary for them. Both of them were geniuses who had received elite education since childhood.

His spiritual pressure and fighting skills are impeccable. People like Byakuya are often teased by Yoruichi to play hide-and-seek to practice his Shunpo ability, which is extremely strong.

Just as the attacks of both sides became more and more fierce and the two wooden swords were slashing at the opponent's vital points, the air in the field suddenly stagnated.

Byakuya and Isshin's wood froze at the same time, and in the middle of the two was Lu Li's figure. Lu Li stretched out a finger from each hand to block the wooden swords of both sides, thus dispelling their attacks.

Miraculously, the two of them didn't even feel the impact of the recoil, and the wooden sword just stopped in front of Lu Li's fingers.

"Okay, I'll let you practice against each other to hide your thoughts from the lectures these days, but I'm not asking you to fight to the death."

Lu Li flicked his fingers and sent two wooden swords flying, forcing the two teenagers to retreat. "We are classmates, don't be so rude."

As a result, Bai Ya took two steps back and said, "Teacher Lu, I heard that when you were a student, you always hit your classmates in the vital parts."

Lu Li's face darkened when he heard this, knowing that it must be this guy Ye Yi who told Byakuya, "They are all rumors, but I didn't hit him, right? I have my severity."

"Bai Ya, I picked up a tie."

Isshin Shiba is no pushover either, and he did not forget to provoke Byakuya at this time. It is obvious that the two have known each other since childhood and have a relationship like rivals.

"Ha, Yixin, you're so bold. I'll definitely win when the knives clash in the end."

Byakuya's competitive spirit was aroused, and he said unwillingly.

Lu Li watched this scene with interest. In fact, he felt that Shiba Isshin's previous blow was slightly stronger, but according to that momentum, the blades of both parties would stagger and hit the opponent respectively, and then no one would be in trouble.

In order to avoid teaching accidents and being in trouble with the parents of noble students, Lu Li intervened to end the duel between the two.

From his observations over the past few days, Lu Li felt that Shiba Isshin's emotional intelligence was slightly higher than Kuchiki Byakuya's. Byakuya was too awkward and couldn't express many of his emotions correctly. It seemed like he had been like this since he was a child.

Isshin Shiba's father also died in the battle of Soul Society, but he did not have a heavy expression on his face all day. Instead, he would stimulate Byakuya to arouse the opponent's fighting spirit, forget their sadness and fight together.

"Okay, you guys go down first. Be careful when you practice later, don't hurt other students."

Lu Li waved his hand and indicated that it was quite interesting to be responsible for teaching these problem noble children.

"Shihouin Yushiro, Ise Nanao, the two of you come up and demonstrate. Don't imitate them. Let everyone see clearly."

After letting Bai Zai and Yi Xin go back, Lu Li called on two more people.

Interestingly, among the five noble families, except for the Tsunayashiro family, which has always been arrogant and regards itself as the top of Soul Society, the other four noble families have sent core members of their families to the Maou Spiritual Arts Institute.

Shifengyuan Yushiro is Yoruichi's younger brother, which makes Lu Li sigh that the nobles of Soul Society are really energetic, to the point of giving birth to a brother and sister with an age difference of nearly a hundred years.

In the original work, after Yoruichi defected from Soul Society, Shihoin Yushiro took over the Shihoin family and became the new head of the family. He was equally powerful, but his personality was a bit timid. He was very attached to his sister and would cry at any time.

Xishiro's opponent was even more bizarre. Her appearance even made Lu Li question the comics he had read in the space.

In the original work, Ise Nanao was originally the adjutant of Kyoraku Shunsui during the main story period. She wielded the divine sword, the Eight Mirror Sword, and played an important role in the Thousand Year Blood War arc.

At the beginning, before Lu Li entered the world of Death, he was wondering who the five great nobles were. The known ones are the Shihouin family, the Kuchiki family, the Shiba family, and the Tsunayashiro family, but the fifth noble family has always been a mystery and is not clearly stated in the original work.

Lu Li once thought that Urahara Kisuke was from the fifth noble family, but after communicating with Yoruichi, he found that this was not the case. The fifth noble family in Soul Society was the Ise family, who wielded the power of the sacred sword.

Interestingly, although they are a family of priests and have worshipped the holy sword, the Eight Mirror Sword, from generation to generation, the essential ability of this holy sword is to be used to kill gods, and it also has a significant inhibitory effect on the power of the Spirit King.

This would not be surprising, after all, the five great nobles started out by attacking and killing the Spirit King. Although there might be reasons why the Spirit King did not resist, they would not have been able to succeed without some means against the Spirit King.

The Ise family is such an existence. This sacred sword has the power of a curse, which will cause the death of men who marry into the Ise family from generation to generation. This is how Kyoraku Shunsui's eldest brother died.

It is also very intriguing that a divine sword possesses the power of a curse. I wonder if it is related to the Spirit King's unconscious resentment.

If Lu Li could still understand the identities of the five great nobles of the Ise family and felt that it was reasonable, then the little Nanao in front of him made him a little confused.

Because the little Nanao in front of him looked only about eleven or twelve years old, petite and cute, wearing glasses, and looking timid.

But considering Kyoraku Shunsui's age, and the fact that Ise Nanao is his eldest brother's child, um...could the little girl in front of him be old enough to be the grandmother of the teacher present?

He had heard from Aizen that the appearance of a Shinigami aging as it aged was related to their spiritual pressure and mental state, and that some people's appearance would not change for hundreds or even thousands of years after they reached adulthood.

But generally speaking, children grow faster during their childhood, but cases like Ise Nanao are really exceptions.
