Chapter 396 Accepting a Disciple
At the gate of hell.

The captain-general, together with Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro, set up a barrier and used powerful spiritual pressure to gradually close the gate of hell.

Thanks to the unexpected reinforcement of Xiao Wu, the Gotei 13 were able to snipe the hell demon very smoothly.

Bylergan was no match for Xiaowu who had achieved the Three Stages of Return to Blade. He lasted only two minutes before being defeated and went back to the fountain of hell to resurrect.

Given Bylergan's proud character, he would most likely not humiliate himself again after his resurrection.

When Lu Li rushed back to the battlefield, the evil spirits outside the Gate of Hell had basically been cleared out.

"Tsk, this is really not very satisfying. I thought there would be a stronger opponent for me to chop down."

Kenpachi Zaraki complained, and then looked at Lu Li who had rushed back, "Captain, is it fun to chop that guy up?"

"It's not like he's very strong, he just has a lot of tricks."

As Lu Li spoke, he slashed with his sword, killing an evil ghost that had just rushed out of hell.

Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion in hell, and a large number of evil spirits poured out.

There were also cries of surprise from the captains of the first generation of the Gotei 13, and it was obvious that there had been a shocking change.

Lu Li and others saw that the evil ghosts discharged from the gate of hell this time were all very powerful, and they were afraid that some of them were Vastod-level virtual beings in their previous lives.

Lu Li frowned slightly and was about to use his Bankai again to clear the area, but the sound of chains was heard from inside the Gate of Hell.

Immediately afterwards, people saw thick chains rushing out from the gates of hell, directly hitting the evil spirits that escaped to the world.

These chains pierced through the evil spirits' chests, as if they were fused to them. As the chains pulled backwards, all the evil spirits were pulled back into the gates of hell.

An incomprehensible whisper came from the depths of hell. It seemed that everyone could hear it, but it was not the existing language of the world of death, and no one knew what it meant.

Just after the voice finished speaking, the gate of hell began to slowly close.

The captain was also very surprised, because he felt that with his spiritual pressure, before the balance of the three realms was adjusted, he could at most curb the continued expansion of the Gate of Hell, and he could not close this door that penetrated heaven and earth.

But now the door was actually closing on its own. It was not the power on his side, but the power coming from the other side of the door, from the depths of hell.

Although the power systems are different, at this moment, the captain, who is a top-level god of death, instinctively feels that there is a terrible existence hidden in the depths of hell, and that is a powerful being far superior to him.

Amidst a rumbling sound, the gates of hell closed, and when they finally closed, there was a dull thud, like the sound of a huge bell echoing between heaven and earth.

After the gate of hell closed, it gradually disappeared between heaven and earth. If it had not destroyed the terrain within a hundred miles when it appeared before, everything would have been as if nothing had happened.

"Is this... the end?"

A Death Officer wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt like he had survived a calamity. Those evil spirits were not difficult to deal with for captains, but to officers like them, they were as scary as bosses.

Taking the danger of this battle into consideration, Captain Yamamoto did not allow ordinary soldiers to participate. The lowest rank they could come to the battlefield was officer rank, but those evil spirits who were Yachucas-level in their lifetime were still too dangerous for them.

Therefore, many officers were killed in the battle, without even the chance to wait for treatment from the Fourth Division.

"It's a bit strange. It seems that there is something in hell that actively closed this gate."

Unohana said thoughtfully that before the gates of hell closed, she saw Saito Bulaobusi making a gesture to her, meaning that he was waiting for her in hell.

The first generation of Gotei Captains seemed to know something, but they could not reveal the name or information of that existence. They just said hello and disappeared to the other side of hell.

"Does Hell... also have a master similar to the Soul King?"

Liu Che Quanxi guessed with a serious expression.

"Don't make wild guesses, clean up the area to see if there are any remaining problems, and then pack up."

The captain said seriously that he could roughly deduce the situation in Hell, but considering the stability of the three realms, he didn't want the Gotei 13 to think too much about it.

At this time, Xiao Wuxiang came to Lu Li's side. He had already released his Return to Blade state, and his face looked a little paler.

It seems that the power of the Three-Stage Return Blade is still a little beyond his ability at present. After using it, he will enter a weak state for a certain period of time. It is not an ability without cost.

"Mr. Lu, the situation at Xuye Palace still needs to be stabilized. If you have no other instructions, I will go back first."

Xiao Wu said that he came here temporarily to provide support. In fact, Harribel and others had spent a lot of effort just to stabilize the Hueco Mundo.

"Thank you for troubling me this time, Xiao Wu. I will go to Xuye Palace to bring souvenirs to everyone later."

Lu Li said with a smile.

Now that his stay was almost over, he planned to have one last get-together with his acquaintances.

"Thank you for your help this time, on behalf of the Gotei 13, I would like to express my gratitude."

The captain said in a serious tone. He was not the kind of person who would look at someone with tinted glasses just because he was a Hollow. As the oldest Shinigami in Soul Society, he had a thorough understanding of the classification and camps of creatures.

Essentially, when the Grim Reaper kills a Hollow, he does not really kill it. Instead, he purifies it and teleports it to Rukongai to become an ordinary soul, or sends it to hell.

They say they are enemies, but the God of Death killed Xu only to maintain the stability of the Three Realms, and he personally has no ill feelings towards Xu.

If the other party is also a rational and intelligent creature, he will naturally give him due respect.

In this war, and also when Seireitei was invaded before, the other side came to help, so of course he would express his gratitude.

"I am only here to lend a hand at Mr. Lu's behest."

However, Xiao Wu was very cold. He just nodded slightly, left a few words, and then opened the black chamber to return to Hueco Mundo.

The final work of the war is very complicated because the real world has been widely destroyed. After checking that the evil spirits have not escaped, the 12th Division needs to repair the real world to prevent some terrible rumors from spreading.

Lu Li and others were taken back to Soul Society by the captain to summarize the battle.

…………“It’s so peaceful…”

Lu Li lazily lay on the roof of the 11th Squadron's barn, basking in the afternoon sun.

It had been two days since the battle at Hell's Gate. After his return, the captain-in-chief praised him highly...

Obviously, the captain-general is very satisfied with his growth rate, strength and style of doing things. After conquering Hueco Mundo, he did not forget to help Seireitei. He can be called the best captain of the century.

If it weren't for the rebuttal from the Central 46th Chamber, Lu Li might have obtained the status of a noble.

Oh, but he did receive olive branches from nobles, such as the Kuchiki family, the Shiba family, and the Ise family, all of whom wanted to further their friendship with him.

The Kuchiki family and the Shiba family are easy to talk to. They hope to get closer to him and make Kuchiki Byakuya and Shiba Isshin become his disciples.

It's not the kind of teacher-student relationship in the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy, but a more formal, traditional master-disciple relationship. I hope he can give the two teenagers special training and teach them some core combat skills.

However, these were all superficial statements. Their real intention was to build closer relations and tie this powerful captain of the 11th Division to their chariot, which was a disguised way of consolidating the power of the nobles.

Lu Li personally had no intention of joining the noble battlefield, but considering that Zhiba Isshin would give birth to a good son in the future, he suddenly felt it was interesting and agreed.

Sosuke did not comment either. Anyway, they would definitely have to establish a new system by then. Now that Lu Li was so conspicuous, there was no need to appear so alienated from the nobles and arouse suspicion.

So, just yesterday, he went to two noble houses successively, and in a grand ceremony of accepting disciples, he accepted Shiba Isshin and Kuchiki Byakuya as his disciples one after another.

Considering that he would be leaving this world soon, in order to avoid being accused of being irresponsible as a master, Lu Li did teach the two of them some things.

He taught the improved Dragon Transformation Technique that can be used by the God of Death to Byakuya Kuchiki, and taught the Ghost Escape to Isshin Shiba. Of course, these two did not learn it all at once, but it should not be difficult for them to master it slowly over time.

In addition, Lu Li also taught the two the art of shadow clone, which would most likely allow the two teenagers to happily embark on the path to becoming the King of Rolls in the future.

His shadow clone technique is not something that anyone can teach. After this technique was made public, it has been classified as a confidential ghost technique. Although it is not a forbidden technique, not everyone can learn it.

Except for some teachers who Lu Li passed on the technique to at the captain's request, he did not teach anyone else. This technique was unique to him. If Lu Li was a noble, this would be the core secret of the family.

Therefore, after learning the Shadow Clone Technique, the two little guys were very happy, mainly because they knew that this technique could double the speed of their practice, and now they have started to learn it in school.

For example, they would let their shadow clones take ghost lessons and kendo lessons at the same time...

Unlike the Kuchiki and Shiba families, the way the Ise family wanted to win over Lu Li seemed very strange, or in other words, Lu Li even suspected that they were trying to win him over.

Because the Ise family tactfully expressed that they were in need of a son-in-law, if Lu Li was willing, he could marry into the Ise family and become one of the five great nobles.

Well, Lu Li also politely refused.

Putting aside other things, didn’t the Ise family invite him to be their son-in-law because they really wanted to murder him?
As far as he knew, the sons-in-law of the Ise family would not live long and would all be cursed.

Even if Kyoraku Shunsui put away the sacred artifact, the Eight Mirror Sword, Lu Li felt that it would not make the curse disappear.

After rejecting the Ise family's "good intentions", the other party was not angry, but they did not follow the Kuchiki family and the Shiba family to ask Lu Li to accept them as disciples, because Ise Nanao personally expressed her wish to join the 8th Division after graduation and go to her uncle.

The Shihouin family didn't say anything, probably because they considered that he and Yoruichi already had a good personal relationship and there was no need for them to join in the fun at this time.

The Tsunayashiro family, one of the masterminds behind a series of events a few days ago, has been as quiet as a dead family in the past two days.

According to Lu Li's own thoughts, he actually hoped that Tsunayashiro Tokinada would do something extraordinary to him in the end, so that he could just find a reason to kill him.

But this guy was surprisingly obedient, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Lu Li could only remind Aizen to be a little careful, but there was no need to worry too much. After all, Tsunayashiro Tokinada had a low IQ. Although he had a happy heart, he did not have the corresponding strength and brains.

If he really dared to play with Sosuke, he would definitely be played to death by Sosuke.

After returning to Soul Society, Lu Li used his salary to go on a shopping spree and bought a lot of delicious food.

Oh, as for the money I owe Ye Yi, just owe it to him for now. After all, that guy is too black-hearted and he wants interest on top of that.

After Lu Li was recruited as a soldier in the 11th Squadron, he had to share his meals with other soldiers, so he had to spend money to cook for himself. As a result, most of his salary was eaten up, and he did not save much money.

Since he couldn't pay it back anyway, Lu Li had given up and simply used the rest of his salary to buy delicious food. He went to Hueco Mundo and shared the food with his friends who hadn't enjoyed it properly after evolving into Arrancar.

Stark and Xiao Wu are okay. One of them doesn't pursue the enjoyment of delicious food, while the other is a man with facial paralysis all year round.

Harribel and Nel really liked the dessert he brought. After eating it, they said it was worth their life and said they would definitely go to Soul Society to eat it again if they had the chance in the future.

Sal Apollo was a loner. He just took a portion of each delicacy and returned to the laboratory, saying that he wanted to analyze the spiritual structure of the food and then let Xuye Palace mass-produce the delicacy.

However, Nilu and others were reluctant about the food produced by Sal Apollo and were not willing to enjoy it.

At the end of the banquet, Lu Li also explained to several friends that he might have to travel far away to practice, and they don’t need to worry about him if he disappears for a long time afterwards.

He also arranged the future operation direction of Hueco Mundo, which will still be jointly managed by Harribel and Kuroko. Although diplomatic relations have been established with Soul Society, it does not affect Sosuke's occasional visits to the Hueco Mundo laboratory to conduct research.

On the contrary, because of the establishment of diplomatic relations, it would not be strange for the God of Death to enter and leave Hueco Mundo if he has a legitimate reason in the future.

"Captain, stop basking in the sun and come fight."

Lu Li was woken up by Kenpachi Zaraki's voice. This guy always seemed to have too much energy.

Although Lu Li also likes fighting, he doesn't like repetitive battles. Things like training Kenpachi Zaraki become a bit boring to him after the initial novelty.

After all, Geng Mu's tactical level has improved recently, and his strength has increased dramatically. Lu Li is normally a little struggling, but the captain has banned him from using Bankai during sparring, so fighting is always not very enjoyable.

On the contrary, Zaraki himself felt that his strength had obviously improved, and he had become a little keen on kendo these days.

Lu Li lazily got up from the roof and was thinking about what to teach Geng Mu today when suddenly a notification came from outside.
