Chapter 374: The Spirit King’s Fingertips
Chapter 374: The Spirit King’s Fingertips
The person sent by the Ise family to study this time was Ise Nanao, probably because they wanted the child to interact more with other "peers" outside and grow more.
When Lu Li called her name, Ise Nanao, who was holding a book in her arms, carefully placed the book on the window next to the dojo, and then walked into the venue obediently.
"Please...please advise me."
"Please give me more advice."
Both Shihouin Yushiro and Ise Nanao looked very small and a little weak, and the students thought that the battle would be weak.
As a result, when the two sides started to attack each other with wooden swords in hand, the spiritual pressure burst out by the two children made the ordinary students feel frustrated again.
In terms of kendo level, Yushiro and Nanao are definitely not as good as Kuchiki Byakuya and Shiba Isshin. After all, the head of the Shihouin family is a bastard, and Ise Nanao may not have the talent of an ordinary Zanpakutō because of the sacred sword, and has never been able to resonate with the shallow strike, so he has never practiced zanpakutō at home.
But as a result of listening carefully in the past few days, combined with their good basic spiritual power level, they can fight quite well.
Lu Li watched the battle, touched his chin, and wondered whether the Zhenyang Spiritual Academy should give him the Best Teacher of the Year Award?
At least you should give yourself a raise, right?
Oh, by the way, another reason why he was so enthusiastic about teaching was that the teachers at the Maou Spiritual Academy had high salaries, and the captains who came to substitute for classes temporarily were paid according to the class hours.
As long as he attends two weeks of classes at the Spiritual Arts Academy, he will be able to pay off the money he owes Yoruichi.
When the kendo class was about to end, there was a commotion at the door. Lu Li heard a lot of salutes and turned around to see that it was the captain who came.
"Wow, I heard your kendo class was very well received."
When the captain saw the students' enthusiastic eyes, he knew that Lu Li's courses were very popular among the students, which made him feel very gratified.
Unexpectedly, only seventy years had passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Li had become a student of the Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy, transformed himself into the team leader, and was also the gold medal lecturer here.
"It's all because of the captain's good teaching."
Lu Li said modestly. To be honest, he really missed the days in the first squadron. He could get beaten occasionally. Oh no, he could also fight with the captain-general, which was very beneficial to the improvement of his fighting skills.
"Well, I'm just passing by, but seeing that kendo is so popular, I thought I might as well expand the scope of my teaching."
The captain thought for a moment and said that when he arrived, he saw three layers of people surrounding the dojo. It was a good thing that students had a passion for learning, but it was not a good thing to just surround them outside.
"So what does the captain mean? Hire another lecturer?"
Lu Li asked carefully.
The captain's old eyes were filled with a gleam that could see through everything. He looked directly into Lu Li's eyes and said, "Boy, since your original body is so free, why don't you come to class as well? Open a few more classes for me."
Lu Li's face fell when he heard that, "Captain, please don't do that... I still want to practice on my own for a while."
"After this period of time, when you have time to practice, are you still worried about not having battles to fight in the 11th Division?"
The captain blew his beard and glared, "Now, get your original body and other clones over here!"
Yes, that's right. The body that Lu Li is currently teaching in the classroom is just a shadow clone...
The war is over, so he will naturally focus on cultivation. The shadow clone can be combined with other cultivation skills to maximize efficiency. Of course he would choose this method.
As for Lu Li's real body, apart from practicing to comprehend the soul and researching the power of Bankai every day, he just works hard in the 11th Division.
Because the 220th Squadron was composed of people, resources had always been distributed according to this number. Lu Li felt it was a waste to store the supplies in the warehouse, so he ate them all.
"Captain..."
Lu Li wanted to argue, saying that he had completed his duties.
"The classes that the clones will take over will be at the end of the course. Also, if possible, try to teach this ability to other teachers."
As soon as the captain opened his mouth, Lu Li felt that he was an old capitalist.
Good man, it is not enough to just exploit him as a laborer, he even wants other captains who are teachers to learn the shadow clone splitting method of teaching.
It can only be said that the Soul Society was really hurt this time, and the teaching staff was seriously insufficient. In order to urgently supplement the personnel of the Gotei 13, the Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy recruited ten times more students than before.
Seeing that the captain was so powerful, Lu Li had no choice but to send over a few more shadow clones to start new classes in other dojos.
Although his real body did not come over, the captain saw that Lu Li had compromised and did not say anything more.
In this way, Lu Li's legendary lecturer career at the Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy began.
Regarding teaching shadow clones, Lu Li really couldn't do that. The ability of the shadow clone was based on the chakra system, and Lu Li didn't know how to use the spiritual pressure system to activate it.
His current shadow clone is an optimized and adapted version of the Origin Spirit Seed. In essence, it is his own unique skill. If he wants to teach others, he will need to re-create this skill.
So Lu Li lived a routine life in Soul Society. He would get up after a good rest every day, send a group of shadow clones to work, and his real body would comprehend various abilities in the 11th Division.
When the shadow clone disappears, he will absorb the shadow clone's memories and insights. If it is the shadow clone responsible for cultivation, it will feed back the cultivation experience to him.
Even Sosuke is interested in his shadow clone ability. It can only be said that all the scroll kings have one thing in common, which is that they will not give up any skills that can enhance the efficiency of the scroll.
With Lu Li's painstaking research and development and Aizen's extraordinary talent, Aizen finally learned how to create shadow clones, but he couldn't create multiple ones without consuming soul energy like him.
Sosuke can only create two shadow clones at most each time, but they can last for a long time, mainly because his spiritual power level is too high and his soul source is deep.
Although he was not able to create shadow clones as freely as Lu Li, Aizen was still very satisfied. After all, his training efficiency had tripled in an instant.
Moreover, the ability of shadow clones is very convenient for doing things that are difficult to do openly. For example, if he wants to go to the Hueco Mundo laboratory, now with shadow clones he can leave one in the 5th Division and run over directly.
Because of his powerful spiritual pressure, the shadow clone can exist for a long time. He can even directly place a shadow clone in the Hueco Mundo permanently, which is also a solution.
As for whether he would be seen through, he didn't have to worry about it. After all, he was different from Lu Li. He was more low-key and his goal was smaller.
Because Lu Li usually does not conceal his power, his shadow clone is less powerful than his original body and can be easily seen.
But Aizen is different. He originally concealed a lot of strength. For example, his original strength is 100, and the shadow clone is 80, but the value he usually shows is only 10. The shadow clone has to hide its weakness to match his apparent strength. After both sides mastered the ability of the shadow clone, they began to have new plans.
Originally, because they all became teachers at the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy and their respective identities as captain and vice-captain made it inconvenient for them to go out, but now they can teach, lead the team, and go out to cause trouble at the same time.
The goal is of course the Spirit King's body tissue to create a perfect collapsed jade.
It is not realistic for Lu Li to get through this world within the remaining time, but he can invest in advance so that he will have a better chance of passing it next time he comes to this world.
"So, what do you want?"
Lu Li looked at Mandragora in front of him, and it was like someone bringing him a pillow when he was sleepy. He was feeling bored today because of his busy teaching work and wanted to go out for a walk, and then he received new information from Mandragora.
According to the other party, she could help him find some organs of the Spirit King, but he had to pay a corresponding reward.
"800,000, or equipment of equivalent value."
Mandala spoke calmly, and her request was not too exorbitant.
After going through so many things, she finally understood that Lu Li and Aizen had been in cahoots with each other for a long time, and now Aizen was Lu Li's powerful partner. The stronger Aizen became, the more benefits Lu Li could gain in this world.
Eight hundred thousand End of Life coins was a huge sum of money for a fourth-level explorer, but she believed that Lu Li would be able to take it out easily after this world ended.
"What part is it? How did you find it?"
Lu Li asked curiously, not agreeing to the other party's conditions right away.
"The Soul King's Fingertips is an item I bought from a senior in the group before entering this world. It is the item she got during the last reincarnation of the God of Death. After using it, it can track and lock the location of the ownerless Soul King organization within a range."
Mandala explained, "And the item tracking results show that the Soul King's fingertips are now in Soul Society. If you agree to the deal, you will find it soon."
The so-called ownerless means that the Soul King's body tissue is not controlled by the holder. The right hand of the Soul King, like Ukitake Jushiro, who depends on each other in life and death, and the Soul King tissue that is integrated by masters in the Invisible Empire, cannot be retrieved.
Only the Soul King organization hidden in souls that have not yet begun to awaken their power and have lower strength can be retrieved.
"Fingertips... Isn't this a coincidence?"
Lu Li touched his chin, not knowing whether this was the convergence force of the world line. It seemed that Sosuke could not obtain other versions of the Hougyoku.
According to the time calculation, the souls of Gin Ichimaru and Rangiku Matsumoto are not there yet. Most of them are with other refugees, so it is not difficult to obtain them.
"How about it, do you want to trade?"
Mandragora took out the device, which looked a bit like the Dragon Ball Radar. Lu Li felt at first glance that this thing was not native to the world of Death. It was either made by the boss of the botanical garden later, or it was something made by the End Space when the box was opened.
"Sign the contract."
Lu Li nodded and said, "Let me ask you something, why don't you use it yourself?"
He saw the details of the prop. This was not a one-time prop. It could only lock and track one target at a time.
Theoretically, after they obtain the Soul King's fingertips, they can continue to search with this item.
Lu Li didn't believe that after the Spirit King was cut into a human stick, only these few scattered parts were lost in the Three Realms. He was afraid that there would be many small parts like the fingertips.
If he could find more of the Soul King's body tissue, perhaps he could ask Sosuke to help him make a Hogyoku to take away.
Lu Li didn't quite understand why Mandragora was willing to trade such a precious item.
"I can't make a broken jade..."
Mandala gave Lu Li a strange look and said, "I'll leave it for you and Aizen to play with slowly."
If she took the Spirit King's body tissue alone, it would be judged as a prop by the space and its rating would be very high, but it would not bring her much benefit.
Because the Soul King's body tissue cannot be sold at all, as a bloodline item, it has too many defects. That is to say, it has considerable power in the world of Death, and the strengths and weaknesses of each component are obvious. It is not suitable for explorers who are traveling through space to use as the main bloodline.
The item was not expensive for her because of the friendly price within the group. After all, the senior had already reached the peak of level six, and the item was an idle item for her, so she sold it to herself at a low price.
Now, compared to the Soul King Organization which might not be able to sell it after getting it, she felt that it would be better to take the 800,000 End of the World Coins, which could be considered as doing a favor for the Prisoner.
"That makes sense, thank you very much."
Lu Li signed the contract and traded Mandragora's items. He knew that he had gotten a bargain, after all, this search item alone was a dark gold item.
This item only represents part of the Spirit King's body tissue in Mandala, but for him, it may become a perfect Houyu.
Sosuke sent a shadow clone to the Hueco Mundo yesterday. Since it was troublesome for one person to bury Kenpachi Zaraki's soul, he simply changed his mind and planned to use the spiritual pressure of the soul of this super captain to create another Hogyoku with the power of the god of death.
In this way, Kenpachi Zaraki will most likely not be able to go to hell and will become nutrients for the Hogyoku.
The power of hundreds of ordinary Shinigami souls is definitely not as strong as that of Kenpachi Zaraki alone, so theoretically there is no problem in making the Hogyoku. Lu Li is still waiting for good news from Sosuke.
After picking up the tracking item, he took a look at the detailed address at the Spirit King's fingertips.
"North Ryukon Street 80th District... Zaraki District... Interesting..."
Lu Li had a strange expression on his face, because this place was not only the first place where he came to this world, but also the birthplace of another powerful man in his memory.
After he returned to the 11th Squadron, he led his soldiers out directly, ostensibly to clear out the rioting refugees.
As a combat squad, the 11th Squad often does this kind of work. Many of the powerful people in later generations, such as Kenpachi Zaraki and Ikkaku Madarame, were people the 11th Squad met and got to know while fighting outside.
Therefore, the daily activities of the 11th Division are not only to eliminate potential threats to the Soul Society, but also to absorb high-quality combat maniacs.
Now the captain is also aware that his shadow clone will not interfere with teaching, so his going out on missions will not arouse suspicion, but will only make people sigh at his hard work as the captain.
If all goes well, perhaps he and Sosuke will be able to create a perfect Hogyoku during their stay in this world.
