Restricted Death

Chapter 137 Ye Yi
That evening, Shin shared some of the rewards he had obtained from Yongyin with her.

Yuune immediately noticed the change in her spiritual pressure. As she was surprised, Shin told her that this was the ability of her Zanpakuto, which allowed her to permanently share her spiritual pressure with others.

After hearing this, Yongyin was extremely shocked. "How could someone have such an ability?!"

"How are you feeling? How much has your spiritual pressure increased?" Shin asked.

Although he is currently at the third level of spiritual power, the rewards he has obtained from Yongyin are not actually that many, and if these rewards are divided into one-tenths, they will be very limited.

Besides spiritual pressure, there is also the unlocking progress of the Zanpakuto.

Kotetsu Isane, as the vice-captain of the Fourth Division, has yet to reach the threshold of Bankai.

Yongyin's expression shifted for a long time before she suddenly said to Xin, "Xin, can you take back this spiritual energy?"

"What's wrong?" Xin asked curiously.

She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is something you earned through your cultivation. How can you give it to me so easily? Believe me, you have such great talent. Your future achievements will definitely be amazing. Don't let this kind of thing hold you back."

Shin couldn't help but chuckle, "I don't lack this spiritual pressure."

Yuuto shook his head: "That won't work either. The increase in spiritual pressure is something that happens gradually over time..."

The letter interrupted her: "Look at me, I've only been a Grim Reaper for a short time, yet I'm already at the level of a third-grade spiritual being. What about you?"

Yongyin was speechless for a moment before saying, "Of course I can't compare to your talent."

Xin reached out and gently stroked the hair behind her ear, saying softly, "Do we need to be so particular about who we are? My talent is naturally yours. No matter where I go in the future, I hope you will always stand by my side."

"But...but..." Yongyin's voice trailed off.

"Alright, I've already said that I don't lack what I'm giving you. It's just that I haven't fully mastered my Zanpakuto yet, so there's not much I can give you."

"..."

Yongyin stopped talking and just hugged him tightly.

Daytime.

Shin usually stays at home during his holidays and doesn't go out. For him, there's not much to do in Soul Society, so he prefers to stay home and study his Zanpakuto.

He mostly uses the ability of "stagnation" on himself, making himself immune to external damage.

And, it is used to conceal the appearance of his Zanpakuto, so that when outsiders see him, he remains in the state he was in when he was not wearing the Senso-ga or Higanbana.

During a previous exchange conference, he also used the "Stagnation" technique on the Green Deer. When applied to external objects, it would also increase consumption significantly.

The ability to "go backward" is mostly used to heal the injuries of others.

Shin has always wanted to test the limits of "regression," but it is difficult to do so due to the limitations of spiritual pressure.

The spiritual pressure consumed by reversing is linked to the target's own spiritual particle density.

The ordinary Shinigami that Shin usually treats have very low spiritual pressure, so Shin doesn't have to put much effort into treating them. However, when he treated Kenpachi Zaraki, it consumed half of his spiritual power.

Of course, this was also because Zaraki was seriously injured at the time.

The conclusion that can be drawn at present is that the spiritual pressure consumed by the "rewind" ability is divided into two aspects: one is the difference in spiritual particles before and after the target is subjected to the rewind, and the other is the difference in distance over time.

In comparison, in terms of mana consumption, "Regression" seems to consume more mana than "Stagnation".

Shin's third-rank spiritual power is already at the level of a captain, ranking among the top in the entire Soul Society, but it is still impossible to test the limit of "regression".

It's also possible that as long as the spiritual pressure is strong enough, there are no limits...

Just as Xin was engrossed in his cultivation, he suddenly heard a "meow," which instantly alerted him.

On the open edge of the bed, a completely black cat lay there, its front paws crossed and its tail swaying back and forth, seemingly lazy, while its golden eyes were watching him.

It's the cat I saw at Shiba Kaien's wedding.

Shin couldn't detect any suspicious spiritual pressure fluctuations from it; it seemed to be nothing more than an ordinary black cat, which is why he didn't realize when it appeared or how long it had been there.

I've started to rely entirely on spiritual pressure perception...

Xin looked at the black cat and suddenly thought to himself.

This is not a wrong thing. Using the capture of spiritual energy to perceive and explore is a method that all Grim Reapers have mastered and are accustomed to using.

However, if he encounters any means that can conceal his presence, he will be completely in the dark. For example, the cloak worn by the person who attacked him when he was still in the Spiritual Arts Academy a long time ago, and the black cat in front of him.

The letter stared at it for a long time, trying to guess its purpose in coming here.

Neither the person nor the cat made any move. After a while, Xin suddenly got up and walked towards the kitchen. When he came out, he had a plate in his hand with half a fish on it.

Xin placed the plate on the low table in the living room.

The black cat also got up and jumped into the living room without any fear. Then it leaped onto the table and started eating fish right in front of Xin.

"You're not an ordinary cat, are you?" Xin asked proactively.

The black cat was focused on eating the fish and ignored him.

Xin reached out to touch it, but was threatened by its bristling fur. However, it was only a threat and did not run away. After Xin withdrew his hand, it continued to eat the fish by itself.

"You rascal," Xin chuckled, "You eat my food but won't let me touch it."

It quickly devoured the half-fish, then squatted there licking its paws, seemingly still wanting more.

Xin poured it another glass of water, which it drank without hesitation. However, because the glass was narrow, it couldn't fit its face inside. After only two sips, it barked twice at Xin to express its dissatisfaction.

After refilling the bowl with water, Xin asked, "What's your name?"

The black cat ignored him, and just kept licking the surface of the water with its pink little tongue.

Xin tried to touch it again, but it swatted him away with a paw. Xin was not satisfied and insisted on catching it. However, the black cat was faster than he expected. It disappeared from the table in a flash and reappeared on the windowsill.

"As expected." Xin's eyes brightened slightly. He had almost missed seeing that speed just now. How could an ordinary cat do that?

"Are you leaving? Come visit often."

Xin spoke with a smile, while the black cat merely glanced at him calmly, leaped out of the window, and disappeared.

In the following days, Xin did not see the black cat again, which made him slightly disappointed, and life returned to normal.

Since Shiba Kaien became the captain of the Third Division, nothing major has happened in Soul Society.

At most, these were just anecdotes and stories to be discussed a few times during leisure time. As for the sparring between the Third Seat of the Fourth Division, Tachikawa, and Captain Zaraki, it did not spread widely.

Only three people witnessed that battle, and it wasn't worth Madarame Ikkaku's boasting about Zaraki's defeat. Although some of his own team members couldn't help but inquire, Madarame Ikkaku always dismissed them.

Seireitei remained as calm as ever; the pale buildings seemed unable to conceal any undercurrents.

Kotetsu Isane would occasionally stay at Shin's place, but she never intended to move there permanently. In her words, her younger sister lived alone, and if she moved away, Kiyone would be too lonely.

Shin originally wanted to buy some of Yong-yin's daily necessities for her at home, but she refused.

The two have not yet made their relationship public, and Yongyin is worried that someone visiting her home might discover something.

As for the sensible Yongyin, Shin really had nothing to say, so he could only show her more affection at night.

Shin's life was as peaceful and uneventful as that of the Seireitei. He would either lead a team on field missions or go to the general clinic to treat some injured and sick patients. Occasionally, he would let Yuune stay overnight at his place.

He also continued to exchange and spar with other squads in private, and every month he would contact a squad, including the Fifth and Ninth Squads.

Aizen and Tosen Kaname did not refuse, but left the matter to their respective adjutants or the third seat.

After having a fixed place to live, Xiubing would come to Xin's place from time to time. He even suggested that he wanted to stay with Xin, but Xin refused him without hesitation.

Xiu Bing is currently just an ordinary soldier and is not eligible to apply for separate housing; he can only live in the barracks.

Kani Ze doesn't come very often; the last time he came was because Shin took the initiative to call him.

More than a month later.

Xin saw the black cat again on his windowsill. Just like last time, it was lying there lazily, its tail wagging from time to time.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Xin greeted it and went to the kitchen to bring it a whole fish.

The black cat jumped onto the table and began eating fish in front of the letter.

Looking at the way it was focused on eating, Xin suddenly spoke up: "You, are you the Grim Reaper?"
