Death god, my Zanpakuto is a bit trendy

"Hello."

Byakuya slapped Kumoi Takashi awake who had not yet regained consciousness.

"!!"

"If you want to meditate, there are plenty of places over there."

Byakuya half-closed his eyes and flexed his thumbs impatiently at the audience.

"Don't waste our time."

"you?"

Kumoi Takashi was pushed aside by Byakuya without any resistance.

"Class representative, weren't you competing on this just now?"

Taking advantage of the gap between the two of them talking, Haruto had arrived opposite the martial arts arena.

After the sixth grade class entered the competition, the juniors quickly ended their competition and vacated the venue.

"He... wants to compete with you?"

"if not?"

"..."

Kumoi Takashi finally knew that his choice of the test object was indeed outrageous.

As the direct heirs of the great nobles, Kasumi Oji, as a superior noble, knew very well what kind of strength they had.

Not to mention that Kumoi Takashi is just the son of the family elder, even the current head of the family himself does not dare to say that he can definitely defeat Byakuya.

"I see."

Kumoi Takao stepped aside knowing the current affairs.

He came to Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy just on a whim or out of interest. If he offended the four nobles...

Even if I love Kumoi Takashi no more, whether I will take action to protect him is another matter.

————

"Are you ready?"

In the empty martial arts field, Byakuya said to Haruto who was still shaking his wrist.

"Why don't you let Mutsuki-sensei support a few defensive bindings first?"

"No need."

Byakuya decisively rejected Haruto's request.

"It seems that you are not planning to use large-scale Kidou...and you are not planning to let me use it successfully."

Haruto said with a smile.

"Forget it."

Under the gaze of everyone, Byakuya quickly returned to his aloof demeanor.

"Whether I answer yes or no, the ending doesn't change much."

Byakuya put his hand on the hilt of his Zanpakutō, as if he was about to enter a fighting position.

"It seems that you have made a lot of progress in the past half month. I never saw you say when we were chatting before that you were planning to surprise me?"

"You'll know once you try it."

"......Right."

On the surface, Haruto is still as casual as ever, but in fact, he is already very vigilant in his heart.

at the same time.

Mutsuki-sensei withdrew his gaze from the two of them and held up the gold medal that Byakuya handed over before entering the room.

"Prepare--"

"start!"

"Ding!"

At that moment, the human voice and the metallic sound overlapped for an instant.

"Uh-huh!"

"Seventy-three of the Binding Dao: Overturned Mountain Crystal!"

The sound of Shunpo's activation also overlapped with the chanting of the advanced binding method.

"clang!!"

Fire and flying spiritual pressure fragments scattered in all directions in the martial arts arena.

The tip of Byakuya's Zanpakutō collided hard with the light blue triangular shield opened in Haruto's palm!

"Flash Flower?"

"Inverted Mountain Crystal?"

The students present had no idea what was going on. Even Mutsuki, who also mastered Shunpo, only caught Byakuya's afterimage.

However.

Haruto, who has not yet fully mastered Shunpo, not only kept up with Byakuya's pace, but even successfully blocked his attacks.

"When did you learn this?" x2

The two asked almost in unison.

"Flash Flower"

One of the four maple secrets, high-level shunbu technique.

By using the special Shunpo, he rotates his body while dashing forward, integrating movement and attack into one move, and ends the battle instantly by piercing the target's sleep from behind.

"Inverted Mountain Crystal"

The barrier-type three-dimensional defense ghost path has a serial number of seventy-three, which is enough to prove its performance as an advanced binding path.

"You have gained a lot during your vacation, and I certainly haven't been idle either."

"Since my biggest advantage is Shunpo, compared to the shortcomings of Kidō, of course I have to make better use of my advantages."

"did not expect......"

What Byakuya didn't expect was that Haruto had also made breakthroughs in the field of Shunpo: his shortcomings in speed had been improved. According to this trend, he might be able to master the full version of Shunpo before graduation.

"You actually have a hidden skill. I've never heard you mention this trick before."

As a serious high-level binding master, even with Haruto's talent, it would not take two or three days to master the Mountain-turning Crystal. The fact that the Chant-Abandoned Version can receive the Flash Flower shows that Haruto is able to master it. Already have considerable proficiency.

"how come."

In the midst of the battle, Haruto actually had time to shake his head.

"I really just learned this trick not long ago."

"After all, if you abandon the comprehensive protective effect of the Mountain-Inverted Crystal and instead focus on one-directional defense, then this move will be a weakened version of Duan Kong."

"If it weren't for Duan Kong, I still wouldn't be able to chant Po Abandonment..."

"Crack!"

Before Haruto finished speaking, cracks visible to the naked eye had appeared on the surface of the inverted mountain crystal.

"The flash flower also has the effect of using spiritual pressure to amplify attacks?"

Even if it is a simplified version of defense, the advanced binding path is the advanced binding path.

The gap in spiritual pressure between Haruto and Byakuya is not so big that using Kidō will cause them to be directly chopped into pieces by a white blade.

"Otherwise, how could it be counted as Sifeng's Secret?"

"......Too."

The name of the Tenchi Heizoban is indeed loud, but as the controller of the secret mobile team, the Shifengyuan family has also reached the extreme in the research of instant step.

"Pop!"

As the shield condensed by the Mountain-falling Crystal completely collapsed——

"It seems that I won."

"No, I've been waiting for this moment."

——The two people obviously did not talk, but their expressions exposed their inner thoughts.

"?"

As the shield disintegrated, the spiritual pressure hidden in it, like the explosive reactive armor of a tank, burst out towards Byakuya who was close at hand!

"Bang!"

The sudden impact instantly broke Byakuya's posture.

Haruto's Mountain-falling Crystal did refer to the relevant experience of Dankong, but he didn't say that he only referred to Dankong's move——

There is also the original ghost way of the Ichihara family: Mirror Gate!

The triggering conditions of this move are cumbersome and complicated, but since Haruto intends to perfect it, it is naturally the best choice to start the experiment with the "low-level" ghost way.

"Hado 78"

Of course, Haruto would not miss such an obvious loophole.

His clenched left hand firmly grasped the hilt of the sword, and the light as bright as the scorching sun attacked Byakuya along with the unsheathed blade——

"Zankarin!"

"Zeng!"

Haruto did not charge in advance.

This time, he used the proper chanting and broken version of Zankarin.

Although the attack range was still as short as before, and the lethality was only 1/10 of the full version, which was barely up to the standard; but no matter what, being able to use Zankarin to the level of being able to retract and release it freely was already a huge improvement.

The Kidō Blade split Byakuya's body in two.

But Haruto was not only not surprised, he did not even stop the movement of his hands for a moment.

Since Byakuya could even release the flash flower smoothly, there was no reason why he could not use the Kuchan who had been used earlier, not to mention that his body was cut in half, and he did not even bleed. Anyone who was not blind could see the clue.

To deal with Kuchan, as long as you are prepared, the suddenness will be greatly reduced.

"Zeng!"

Holding the Kidō Blade, Haruto raised his Zanpakutō and drew a crescent-shaped arc of light above his head.

Twisting his waist, he pressed down with the blade.

"Dang!!"

The two Zanpakutōs made a fierce collision sound!

Utsukishi plus Shanhua.

Byakuya, who had intended to win with this move, was instantly defeated by Haruto's unconventional Zanpakurin.

"Shh!"

The powerful impact of the Zanpakurin knocked Byakuya close to the ground and slid out.

If Haruto's spiritual pressure had not been a little weak, Byakuya would have been directly hung on the wall of the martial arts arena.

However.

The distance between the two was also successfully widened.

The Zanpakutō held in his left hand was re-sheathed, and replaced by the right palm that had just released the Mountain Crystal:

"Hadō no 63"

Aimed at Byakuya's palm from a distance, the surging lightning began to gather.

But at the same time, Byakuya, who couldn't even keep his balance, actually started chanting the Kidō:
