Chapter 689: Martial Arts Deduction, Final Solution

Chapter 689: Martial Arts Deduction, Final Solution

"Pay?"

Lu Li opened his mouth. He wanted to say, I am the hero who saved Soul Society, but now I have to pay for eating at the Spiritual Arts Academy?

When he saw the smile on Hikifune Kiryu's lips, he knew that the other party was teasing him.

"Okay, no more jokes, Captain Lu, follow me."

Hikifune Kiryu turned around and walked out from behind the window, asking Lu Li to follow her. "But let me make it clear first, my cooking may not be effective on you. After all, you are too strong."

"I know, I just wanted to try."

Lu Li now wants to use all possible means of improvement to see if he can go one step further and better deal with the attack of hell.

Soon, he walked into Hikifune Kiryu's special hospitality kitchen amid the envious and admiring gazes of many students.

Yezhou cooked incredibly quickly, and before he had to wait long, dishes started to be served on the table one after another.

Lu Li's pair of Rinnegan slowly turned, observing the spiritual pressure fluctuations in these dishes, wanting to know the principles behind Hikifune Kiryu's dishes.

Unfortunately, he watched in vain, as he knew almost nothing about cooking, and he didn't quite understand it when it came to spiritual pressure.

All I can say is that his talents are not comprehensive, at least not in this area.

When the Rinnegan rotated, the shadows of the Six Paths opened behind him, and he directly entered the hungry ghost realm. In this state, the growth rate of food absorption can get an additional bonus of 100%.

Under the astonished gaze of Hikifune Kiryu, Lu Li seemed to have turned into a starving ghost and wolfed down the delicious food on the table.

Conch in soup, emerald lobster, marbled beef with lemon juice, chestnut and cabbage, Seireitei roast duck...

Various delicious foods were put into his mouth, and the fragrant flavors intertwined, making Lu Li eat so much without even raising his head.

Originally, Hikifune Kiryu was a big fat man, but after Lu Li ate for half an hour, he turned into a thin beauty, even a little skinny.

"Captain Lu... I really... can't do it anymore."

Hikari Kiryu sat down on the chair next to Lu Li, leaning weakly on the table, looking at Lu Li as if he were a monster.

Even though her food is essentially a channeling of spiritual pressure, one will still feel full after eating it, and it is impossible to keep wolfing it down.

But Lu Li's stomach was like a bottomless pit. No matter how many dishes she served, Lu Li could swallow them all.

"That's it..."

After hearing what Hikifune Kiryu said, Lu Li rubbed his eight-tenths full belly and said, "Thank you, Captain Hikifune. I will ask Sosuke to approve a sum of money for your cafeteria kitchen."

Hikifune Kiryu perked up after hearing this, but with a smile on his face, "Captain Lu, is this considered abusing your power for personal gain? You've become corrupt so quickly."

Lu Li was speechless for a moment, "...What are you talking about? I'm preparing for battle, not eating randomly."

"Prepare for war?"

Hikifune Kiryu's eyes changed slightly, and he was alert in his heart, "Is Yhwach not dead yet? Or are there remnants of the Invisible Empire?"

"Neither. But you don't have to worry. Soul Society has us, the Gotei 13, so there won't be any chaos."

Lu Li waved his hand, stood up and walked out the door, "Just be at ease working in the kitchen here."

He did gain something from this meal. With the bonus from the Hungry Ghost Realm, after squeezing Hikifune Kiryu dry, his overall attributes improved a little.

Now his basic comprehensive attributes have reached 145 points. If he goes all out and breaks through the 150-point barrier, he will be much stronger than before.

The sacred tree can only absorb the world's energy and bless itself with this operation once. The Three Realms are not so stable to begin with. The last time it extracted the world's power, it had already shaken its foundations.

If it happens again, the Three Realms will probably collapse before Hell even takes action.

So this time he can only find a way to make himself stronger, and he can't rely on external forces from the world.

But nothing is absolute. If he can get into hell and the sacred tree can grow in the environment of hell, he may be able to absorb power from there.

After returning to the First Squadron's barracks, Lu Li said hello to Sosuke who was busy at his desk, and went to practice in seclusion.

He wanted to try to absorb the last Crescent Moon Tenchong and the concept of the unity of the swords of the Shifengyuan family, take the essence and remove the dross, and create a new secret method of his own.

Interestingly, because Lu Li had a strong understanding of these matters of cultivation, Yoruichi's set of secret techniques and the Shiba family's 'Moonless' secret techniques had already appeared on his martial arts furnace menu.

Therefore, he does not need a lot of time to slowly comprehend, deduce and research. He only needs to use the martial arts furnace to deduce and create his own ultimate secret technique.

However, his greed and lack of desire still left him with a lot of lifespan, which was more than enough for him to carry out this deduction.

Lu Li told Aizen not to let anyone disturb him during his retreat, so in the current Soul Society, he is almost absolutely safe, and he can rest assured to retreat for a long time.

"Furnace, deduction!"

After Lu Li arranged the various skills, he input 1000 years of lifespan and started to deduce directly.

…………

Ten days later.

The peaceful Soul Society gradually became lively, and those explorers who were frightened by the war began to become active again.

It’s just that the way they do things seems very measured compared to other mission worlds.

It's because they know that the Soul Society today is not the Soul Society in the original work, but an explorer from the End Space has the final say.

If the demon prisoner is in a good mood, he can ignore them, but if they do something out of line, they may not even have the chance to pay protection money.

And below the First Squadron’s barn, Lu Li opened his eyes, and the purple light gradually faded away.

"It is indeed a very risky secret method. Fortunately, I didn't use those two..."

Lu Li sighed to himself, he had successfully deduced a new secret technique, and in the process he also learned about the risks of guiding soul power.

If he used Ye Yi's secret method, he would definitely go berserk and become a crazy world-destroying demon god. If he used the final Crescent Moon Sky Strike, after using his extremely powerful force, his soul would backfire and he would also be likely to go berserk.

Therefore, the secret method deduced from his martial arts furnace is a method that allows him to liberate deep-level power to a certain extent while ensuring the stability of his soul.

Since his method is different from that of the Shihōin family and the Shiba family, and it also relies on the imprisoned demon as a medium, it is difficult for Lu Li to say that he is the oneness of man and sword in the traditional sense.

He will neither abandon his Zanpakutō nor completely merge with his Zanpakutō. He is in an intermediate state, and his power is stronger than Bankai, so he thinks this is the third state of liberation above Bankai.

Lu Li was grateful for his origin, so he named it the Final Solution.

He got up from the house, stretched his rusty muscles, walked out the door, and saw the bright sunshine.

On the sun-drenched road, Lu Li saw Sosuke walking towards him from the other side of the team barracks.

"Mr. Lu, it looks like you have gained something."

Aizen observed Lu Li's aura. Although his spiritual pressure had not changed compared to before, it was like a famous sword that had its edge restrained, and its power was hidden and surging.

"I haven't tried it in actual combat yet. It's a pity that there's no one to test the sword for me."

Lu Li sighed and said that with his and Aizen's strength, they were no longer able to use their full strength in this world.

Otherwise, if there was no special space like the Eternal Prison, their power itself would cause spiritual shock in the Three Realms. If the battle lasted for a long time, the Three Realms would collapse.

"According to what you said, there will always be opportunities later." Aizen also knew the threat of Hell. In the process of rebuilding Soul Society these days, he was also making some arrangements. "By the way, during this period of retreat, many people came to see you. You are really popular."

"Who is there?"

Lu Li asked.

"Captain Unohana and Captain Kuchiki both said they want to see you."

Aizen took the cool drink handed to him by Hinamori Momo from the back, thanked him in a low voice, and gave Lu Li another drink, "Mr. Lu, you might as well go and have a look. I still have a lot of official business to deal with."

"Captain Aizen, aren't you working too hard? Captain Lu, you are also the vice-captain, can't you help Captain Aizen?"

Hinamori Momo, a loyal fan of Aizen, said from the side.

"This puts me in a difficult position. If I go and deal with the stamping, I'm afraid Soul Society will decay again."

Lu Li said with a smile, drank the drink in the cup, put it on the plate, turned around and walked away.

Aizen also shook his head helplessly. He also wanted to do something of personal interest, but the Soul Society was in a state of disrepair these days and there were so many things to do that it was really overwhelming for him.

Fortunately, this was his ideal wish, and now he is both in pain and happy.

After leaving the First Division, Lu Li went to the Sixth Division, reminisced with Bai Ya, and taught him some swordsmanship techniques.

The Kuchiki family was not affected at all by this thorough investigation of the nobles because the people in their family were too well-behaved and were among the most honest nobles.

Byakuya himself had never mentioned to Lu Li that he wanted to take care of the Kuchiki family. In his opinion, mistakes must be corrected, the Soul Society must operate according to rules and laws, and the nobles cannot do whatever they want based on their privileges.

After telling Byakuya that he could also go to Hikifune Kiryu's place for dinner, Lu Li left the Sixth Division.

During this time, he also met Rukia and Renji who were playing together. Rukia had a day off today and did not go back to the Kuchiki family. Instead, she came to her eldest brother's team dormitory and happened to hang out with Renji.

When the two saw Lu Li, they both bowed sincerely. After all, if it weren't for Lu Li, Rukia might have been executed long ago.

After wandering all the way, Lu Li arrived at the squadron barracks of the Fourth Squad.

Two weeks passed, and the Fourth Division was no longer as busy as it was right after the war. As soon as Lu Li entered the door, he saw Unohana sitting under an old tree.

It was just because of the previous war and the captain's Ryujin Jakka that this beautiful cherry tree had already withered and now no longer produces a single flower.

"Mr. Unohana, I heard you were looking for me?"

Lu Li greeted with a smile.

"Captain Lu is a little hard to see. I've made an appointment for a long time."

Unohana said with a smile, her tone teasing.

"I'm in seclusion now, and I've gained some insights."

Lu Li explained, and his words drew admiration from the nearby Fourth Division soldiers.

The team members were unaware of the inside story and thought that Captain Lu was unrivaled in the world and that he was still practicing so hard, which was simply very inspiring.

"I came to see Mr. Lu because I wanted to ask you about Qilin Temple."

Unohana started to get back to the point.

"Qilin Temple? Let me make it clear first, he was the first to do it."

Lu Li spread his hands.

"Mr. Lu misunderstood. It's all in the past. The captain doesn't care about it, so why would I pursue this matter with you?"

Unohana said softly, "Although Qilin Temple taught me Huidao, we are not master and disciple. We just got what we needed from the transaction. That guy's personality was pretty annoying to begin with, so let him die."

Unohana's words surprised several members of the Fourth Division who were cleaning the courtyard, because they did not expect their captain to be so cold.

But Lu Li, who is familiar with Unohana's inner world, knows that Unohana is not a gentle saint, but the first generation Kenpachi who has killed countless people.

"So what does Unohana-sensei want?"

Lu Li asked curiously.

Unohana smiled and said, "From what I can see, your Hui Dao has probably surpassed mine. I just want to ask Mr. Lu for advice."

As she spoke, she stood up from under the tree, walked to Lu Li's side, tiptoed lightly, and put her face close to Lu Li's ear, "Lu... Teacher."

Lu Li only felt an itch in his ears and a chill in his heart.

"Don't."

Lu Li raised his hands in surrender and took back his old name, "No more jokes, Captain Unohana, let's have this discussion as equals."

"It is said that the wise are the first, and former disciples may not be incapable of becoming teachers."

Unohana said with a smile, "Teacher Lu, how about you teach me?"

Lu Li smiled bitterly, "Don't tease me, I really want to discuss this with you. I have a few ideas about returning to the Tao, and I need you to help me see if they are feasible."

Unohana stopped teasing Lu Li and waved at him, "Come with me, we'll talk inside."

They dismissed everyone and walked into the captain's office of the Fourth Division. After they sat down, they fell into an eerie silence for a while.

"The Flower of Mao..."

"Mr. Lu..."

The two of them spoke almost at the same time, interrupting each other.

"You speak first……"

"You speak first……"

They spoke in unison again, this time Unohana laughed out loud and began to fiddle with the tea set on the table, "Do you still remember your graduation exam at the Shinō Spiritual Academy?"

"of course I remember."

Lu Li looked at the gradually boiling water vapor and sighed, "I still remember that every day after school, Teacher Unohana kept me in class to practice Huidao... At that time, I was severely beaten by Teacher Unohana."

"So, Mr. Lu still has resentment towards my teaching methods?"

Unohana said with a smile.

"No, no, this is all for the sake of quick success."

Lu Li waved his hands repeatedly, but to be honest, Unohana's teaching violence index far surpassed the old man's. It was really a chop, and he didn't know how many times his heart had been chopped.

"Yeah……"

Unohana smiled brightly, "Then today... why don't we change the way we do things and switch positions? How about Teacher Lu teach me?"

As she spoke, she opened her clothes with her bare hands, revealing a white patch of skin and the conspicuous cross scar, "Let the students see how fast Teacher Lu's reply is..."
