Chapter 171 Testing
A surge of instinctive sense of crisis washed over him, and Ichigo Kurosaki's pupils constricted sharply. He instinctively turned around and saw a bluish-black arm, thicker than an elephant's leg, tearing through the wall and piercing through the stairwell behind him.

boom!
The splinters of wood shattered, knocking him hard to the ground, and he tumbled down the stairs.

However, before he could even feel the physical pain, Ichigo Kurosaki struggled to lift his head and roared with all his might, "Yuzu, Karin, Dad, run!"

At this moment, the food was already laid out in the living room, and Kurosaki Ichigo's two younger sisters and father were sitting at the dining table, quietly waiting for him to eat together.

"Huh?" Startled by the loud crash, Kurosaki Yuuko instinctively got up to help the fallen Kurosaki Ichigo, calling out in alarm, "Brother, are you alright?"

As Karin Kurosaki watched Ichigo Kurosaki crash to the ground, her face was instantly filled with fear.

Unlike her younger sister Youzi, who has no spiritual power and cannot see the void, she can vaguely sense the existence of souls. Just now, she also clearly "saw" the blurry giant hand that pierced through the stairwell wall.

"Yuuki! Come with Dad!" Karin Kurosaki grabbed her younger sister, who was about to rush forward, and pushed her back. She then rushed over to try and pull Ichigo Kurosaki up from the ground. "Big brother! Get up!"

boom!
With another deafening roar, the sister who was trying to pull Ichigo up was sent flying by a giant hand that had pierced through the wall. Blood gushed from her mouth and nose, and she flew through the air like a broken rag doll.

boom! boom! boom!
Roar!Roar!Roar!
With a series of booming sounds and three strange beastly roars, several more enormous arms burst through the wall, and the entire Kurosaki family compound was reduced to ruins in just a few seconds.

"My dear child! Xia Li! Dad!"

Debris from the collapsed house pinned his legs down, and a broken piece of wood pierced his abdomen.

With a desperate roar, blood gushed uncontrollably from Kurosaki Ichigo's abdomen, yet he continued to struggle desperately, trying to free himself from the rubble.

A three-headed monster, almost as tall as a two-story building, with a hideous white skeletal face, had already seized his three family members.

Kurosaki Isshin's eyes were tightly closed, and blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth; he seemed to have lost the breath of life.

Meanwhile, Ichigo Kurosaki's two younger sisters, Yuuko Kurosaki, were already unconscious, their faces contorted in pain.

Karin Kurosaki's mouth was covered in blood, and she was held in the palm of a large black hand like an abandoned rag doll. Her legs were bent into a terrible arc, and her pale bones pierced her skin, causing her to scream in pain.

"why why why!"

As if he couldn't feel the pain in his body, Ichigo Kurosaki roared and struggled wildly.

His hands clawed desperately at the ground, trying to free himself from the rubble.

Even with his fingers mangled and his nails broken from the force, he was still trapped under the rubble.

He could only watch helplessly as his three most important family members were held in the hands of those three monsters and slowly shoved into their three gaping maws.

He could only roar and struggle in despair: "Power! Power! Power!"

"Why! Why am I so weak!"

"Power! Get out here right now!"

In the depths of those desperate eyes, two other pairs of eyes seemed to emerge, gleaming with an unusual light.

At this moment, deep within his soul, in his inner world, a middle-aged man wearing a black trench coat and sunglasses stands atop a tilting, collapsing high-rise building, silently gazing at the oncoming storm and the almost still external scene reflected in the storm.

Suddenly, a man who looked exactly like Ichigo Kurosaki, but was pale all over with black eyes and yellow pupils, came to his side.

He spread his arms, feeling the onslaught of the storm, and the being known as "Hollow White" looked at the man in the trench coat beside him and said, "Ichigo is about to die, and you still refuse to release the seal on his power?"

"It's just that the body is about to break down, it's not time yet..." the man in the trench coat said calmly.

His gaze was fixed on the image in front of him, on Kurosaki Isshin, who appeared to be dead with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Isshin Kurosaki, you once sealed your power for your lover, but ten years ago, with your lover's passing, your power was long since restored. What are you waiting for now...?

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. "And what exactly was that thing that controlled Ichigo's body a few days ago?"

The trench coat-wearing man, who had gradually materialized since Ichigo Kurosaki's birth and resided in his inner world for many years, did not notice anything unusual in Ichigo's inner world when the strange changes occurred a few days ago.

What exactly was it that controlled Ichigo Kurosaki's body for that brief period of time, and how?

He simply continued to wait quietly: "When Ichigo is on the verge of death, will that guy appear...?"

……

At this moment, in Soul Society.

Looking at the different perspectives on the big screen, Aizen Sosuke, the captain of the Fifth Division, showed a rare look of surprise on his usually unchanging face.

"Oh? You're actually choosing to stand by and watch someone die? Rukia Kuchiki, what are you thinking? Or do you already know something?"

At this moment, the three perspectives on the screen represent three specially modified Hollows that can be precisely controlled by Aizen.

Rukia Kuchiki should have arrived just in time when the three Hollows attacked the Kurosaki family, thus triggering a battle.

The Hollow under his control would just happen to cause Rukia Kuchiki to be seriously injured, forcing her to inject the power of the Shinigami into Ichigo Kurosaki in order to protect herself, thereby causing Ichigo's power to awaken.

However, on the large screen, the onion-headed girl dressed in black Shinigami armor, with a Zanpakuto at her waist, stood silently atop the streetlamp, her gaze coldly fixed on the ruined houses bathed in the setting sun, making no move whatsoever.

If the story unfolds as it should, a boy with special characteristics and a girl with special powers will meet due to some kind of crisis, leading to a series of events.

So, what if we prevent them from meeting?

Rukia Kuchiki rushed here because of the alarm on her phone, only to witness the appearance of the three Hollows.

Even though it would be somewhat tricky for her to fight three Hollows at the same time all by herself, it would only be slightly tricky.

Once the exhibition begins to unravel, she can easily defeat a mere three Hollows.

however……

"Move..."

"Move! Move now!"

Looking at the destroyed houses ahead, and at the four humans about to be killed and devoured by Hollows, Rukia Kuchiki's face remained calm, but her heart was already in a frenzy.

However, no matter how furious she roared in her heart, her body remained motionless, and even the spiritual energy within her body was as calm as still water, without a ripple no matter how angry she was.

Because Fangzheng had already issued instructions "inside" her.

A sense of powerlessness welled up from within, causing Rukia Kuchiki to recall painful memories from the past.

Once, she was powerless to help the senior she admired, and could only watch him die.

And now, the human being he was supposed to save is about to be devoured by his own powerlessness...

……

With a deathly pale face, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and an aura of utter weakness emanating from his body, Kurosaki Isshin appeared to be dead. Although his physical body was unconscious, his spirit remained conscious.

His spirit remained calm, observing everything before him without any panic, even through his physical body.

Even though his son and daughter were in danger, he remained completely calm.

Because he knew that there must be some kind of conspiracy hidden in this.

Although he lost his power at one point, the period of powerlessness only lasted for five years.

Ten years after his wife passed away when Ichigo was five, the spiritual power that Isshin Kurosaki had used to seal something within her gradually returned.

Over the past decade, Isshin Kurosaki's power has long since recovered to the level of a captain during his peak years.

These are just three weak Hollows. With Kurosaki Isshin, or rather Shiba Isshin, who is considered a strong captain among the Gotei 13, he only needs to release a little of his spiritual pressure to crush these three Hollows into spiritual particles.

It was precisely because he possessed the power to reverse the situation at any time that he was able to remain calm.

Kurosaki Isshin was puzzled: "Generally speaking, Hollows that have not even regained their rationality and only have the bestial nature of beasts should not appear at the same time."

"Who is it? Who is testing me?"

“Or perhaps…” His gaze shifted to his son, and he could vaguely sense that the potential hidden deep within Kurosaki Ichigo's soul seemed to be beginning to overflow. “Is he trying to use Ichigo?”

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Kurosaki Ichigo will be able to unleash the power of a Shinigami or Quincy inherited from his father and mother in a short time, and easily defeat the three Hollows.

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but Kurosaki Isshin did not intend to stop him. "If that's the case, it's good that he has awakened."

however……

"Power! Get out here now!"

With a furious roar, Ichigo Kurosaki used a power that seemed to come from nowhere to stand up from the pressure of the ruins, even managing to pull out the sharp piece of wood that had pierced his abdomen.

Deep within his pupils, a glimmer of spiritual light began to shine, and even the power that the man in the trench coat couldn't suppress in his inner world was starting to pulsate.

However, just as his power was about to reach the critical point of awakening, the anger and despair on his face suddenly subsided, becoming almost indifferent.

Even the spiritual power slowly overflowing from the depths of his soul was forcibly suppressed.

Fang Zheng regained control of his body.

Having observed Ichigo Kurosaki's two younger sisters and father in spectator mode, Fang Zheng knew that they were not in immediate danger.

Therefore, even the healing potion was not used for the time being. Under Fang Zheng's control, the muscle fibers in the hideous wound on Kurosaki Ichigo's abdomen began to writhe.

Some muscles contracted while others relaxed, much like a cramp, perfectly sealing off the ruptured blood vessel.

With his gaze fixed on the three enormous creatures ahead, Kurosaki Ichigo's figure tore through the air and vanished from the spot in the next instant...
