Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Araki looked at Genryusai smugly and laughed.

"I think your technique is nothing but fancy talk..."

"Kido is Kido, and Hira is Hira! These two abilities are treasures that countless Shinigami have explored and summarized over millions of years in the Soul Society! When you combine these two, don't let it become just empty punches and kicks that can only be performed."

Originally, Genryusai was somewhat curious about Araki's technology, but as Araki spoke, he immediately lost his composure. It was too embarrassing for him to discuss technology with his student.

"Whether it's a joke or not, why don't you come and try it yourself and see?"

As Araki spoke, he beckoned to Genryusai with his finger.

"Humph……"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Liuzhai let out a cold snort, and then, like a fierce tiger, he swung his fist straight at Araki's abdomen.

"wind!"

Araki spoke softly, first using the wind-attribute Kido transformation.

Araki's speed instantly increased several times. He, who was not good at 'Instant Step', was actually a little faster than Genryusai at this moment.

"So fast……"

Genryuzhai stared at Araki, who had dodged his punch, his pupils trembling slightly.

"thunder!"

Then, Araki continued to remind Genryusai.

As Araki finished speaking, his body crackled with endless lightning. As his speed increased further, he charged towards Genryusai like a bolt of lightning.

"One bone!"

Genryusai calmly assumed a fighting stance as Araki charged straight at him, then suddenly threw a punch forward. This punch caused the heavens and earth to change color; even a Hollow of Adjuchas level would be instantly shattered by Genryusai's punch.

However, after a brief encounter between Genryusai and Araki, it was Genryusai who retreated, not Araki.

"Missed..."

Yuan Liuzhai took small, shuffling steps, his face looking rather embarrassed. He had been concentrating intently on throwing a punch at Araki, but it had missed Araki, while Araki's fist had landed squarely on his body.

"Instantaneous coaxing?"

At this moment, Yuan Liuzhai finally officially launched this so-called instantaneous commotion.

"ice!"

However, this was not the end. Araki changed his instantaneous attack attribute once again. In that short moment, endless cold air actually smeared a layer of frost on Genryusai's beard.

"Ok?"

Seeing this, Yuan Liuzhai merely snorted coldly. Araki actually used an ice-attribute technique against him, who wielded an extremely hot Zanpakuto. How could this mere cold air possibly penetrate his body? But just as Yuan Liuzhai was about to create distance between himself and Araki and launch an attack after gaining control of the rhythm, he found that his legs would not obey his commands...

"This is?"

Yuan Liuzhai then realized that his feet had been frozen by Araki at some point.

"Blazing Explosion!!"

Before Yuan Liuzhai could think further, Araki changed the nature of his 'Instant Roar' demonic path once again, this time choosing fire! A violent burst of flames surged from Araki's body, unexpectedly smearing Yuan Liuzhai's face.

"boom!"

After Araki dodged and created distance between himself and Genryusai, a small mushroom cloud slowly rose from where Genryusai was.

"Teacher Yuan Liuzhai, what do you think?"

Araki dispersed his shimmering aura and looked at Genryusai, which was surrounded by dust and sand, and asked softly.

"Haha, hahaha..."

Genryusai, whose face was smeared by Araki's instantaneous fire attribute demonic transformation, looked extremely disheveled. His Shinigami armor was charred by Araki's blazing fire, and his strong body was now filthy.

However, Araki knew that Genryusai was definitely not injured by his attack. If the person who wielded the world's strongest fire-attribute Zanpakuto were to be harmed by flames, it would truly be a laughing stock...

Just as Araki had expected, Genryusai only looked extremely disheveled and was actually not hurt. However, as the ancestor of fire, he was smeared in the face with flames by Araki. Although the damage was not great, the humiliation was extremely strong!

In response, Yuan Liuzhai's mental state gradually became frenzied amidst bursts of laughter, and his blood pressure began to rise.

"Let's end the game here!"

As Genryusai spoke, he drew his Zanpakuto from his waist once more. This time, however, it was completely different from before; when Genryusai drew his Zanpakuto, his eyes held an unprecedented seriousness.

"Araki, I must thank you. It is because of you, such a good disciple, that I have been able to continuously improve over the past few hundred years since I defeated Yhwach! Araki, I have never slacked off in these years..."

As Yuan Liuzhai spoke, the ground beneath his feet had already burned red-hot, and the white sand on the ground had turned into molten lava that kept rolling, emitting wave after wave of scorching heat.

"Alala..."

Araki watched as Genryusai's spiritual pressure steadily increased, knowing that the real challenge was about to begin, and his lips twitched slightly at the thought.

"Teacher Yuan Liuzhai, you haven't yet tested me on the 'walking' technique in 'Zhanquan Zougui,' which is essentially 'instant step'!"

Seeing this, Araki reminded Genryusai.

Hundreds of years have passed. With Araki's daily training and the system's support, even his supposedly weak technique, 'Instant Step,' has reached level 9, just a little short of the maximum level. Araki is now undoubtedly a well-rounded warrior like Genryusai.

In addition, Araki has also mastered the Hiren Kick, which comes from the Quincy power within him, and the Soen, which comes from the fusion of Hollow power such as Kiba. Araki has also reached level 9 in both of these. If we're just talking about speed, there aren't many people in the vast Seireitei who can outrun Araki now.

"There's no need to test your basic knowledge anymore..."

"That's enough of our warm-up. It's time to show our true skills!"

"As I said before, only those who possess the strongest Zanpakuto can protect this vast 'Seireitei'. The swords in our hands are the key to determining victory or defeat..."

"Let's do our best, Araki!"

Clearly, after being blinded by Araki's fiery blast, Genryusai was no longer able to hear anything. Right now, all Genryusai could think about was finding his disciple and getting back at him!

"There's really nothing I can do."

Araki sighed helplessly upon hearing this. He had originally wanted to continue torturing his teacher in terms of 'Flash Step' and 'Kido', to let Genryusai know that as his disciple, Araki's strength had surpassed that of his teacher in every aspect, so that Genryusai could retire in peace. Unfortunately, Genryusai's temper was even more explosive than Araki had imagined.

"Then come on!"

Now that things have come to this, Araki isn't afraid at all.

"Swastika!"

The next second, Genryusai and Araki simultaneously raised their Zanpakuto and shouted loudly.

"boom!!"

The moment Yuan Liuzhai finished speaking, dawn broke in the 'Hollow Circle' that had been shrouded in eternal night!

Genryusai's Bankai was like a ray of light dispelling the darkness, or a star illuminating the world, directly turning the entire 'Hueco Mundo' from night into day...

"What happened? What's going on?"

In an instant, the entire Hueco Mundo, whether it was a Great Hollow or an ordinary Hollow, fell silent...

The evil spirits looked up at the bright sky with blank stares, at a loss. In their memories, this bright sky was something they had only seen in fragmented recollections of their past lives.

This is a sky that does not belong to the 'Hollow Circle'.

"This is……"

At this moment, even Lilynette and Szayelaporro, who were engaged in fierce combat, stopped and stared wide-eyed at the bright sky above.

"What kind of powerful force is this?"

Lilynette murmured to herself. She had always thought that her strength was enough to be considered powerful, but when she faced the light that illuminated the whole world, she realized just how weak she was.

"Lilynette, now you know why I stopped you from going there, right?"

"The battle over there is not something that people like you and me can easily interfere with..."

Szayelaporro was equally astonished by Genryusai's power. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, which was dripping with heat, and spoke softly to Lilynette beside him.

"I... am not strong enough."

Upon hearing this, Lilynette clenched her fists tightly.

"It's so hot, so hot!"

"Damn it! All the moisture in the air is about to evaporate from the sky because of this sudden heat..."

"Is this the 'Bankai' of that bald brat's Zanpakuto? It's actually this powerful?"

"This is far more powerful than the fire poker he used to burn my buttocks thousands of years ago..."

Yoshitomo was equally impressed by Genryusai's strength. As someone who had clearly fought Genryusai, he was naturally familiar with Genryusai's spiritual pressure. Now, feeling Genryusai's Zanpakuto's 'Bankai' once again, he was amazed that he was no longer a match for him.

"Is this the power of the leader of the Grim Reapers? Damn it..."

Similarly, when Barragan, sitting on the throne, saw Genryusai unleash his Bankai, which illuminated the entire world, he was equally astonished. He had originally thought that Genryusai, as the Captain-Commander of the Seireitei, the leader of the Shinigami, should be nearly as powerful as he was as the leader of the Hollows…

However, after Yuan Liuzhai 'opened his own way', he was shocked to discover that the difference in strength between them, as leaders of two major forces, was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.

"If the Grim Reapers wanted to wipe out Hueco Mundo, we'd probably be dead already, right?"

Barragán muttered to himself, clenching his fists in frustration.

at the same time……

"Alright, Araki..."

"Shouldn't you show us your Bankai too?"

Genryusai held the Zanpakuto, which had burned to a deep red and whose blade was as black as charcoal, looking at Araki with calm eyes and asked softly.

At this moment, Genryusai has completely unleashed his Zanpakuto. After bidding farewell to the endless flames, Genryusai has gained an indestructible blade that can cut through everything in the world.

But this is not the terrifying aspect of Genryusai's Bankai. As the spiritual pressure within Genryusai continues to rise, the entire 'Hueco Mundo' faces the risk of being completely destroyed by Genryusai's Bankai...

One strike can destroy an entire realm; this is the power of Genryusai's Bankai.

"A Bankai that burns the world?!"

Araki looked at Genryusai's Zanpakuto and muttered to himself.

"Truly worthy of being Master Yuan Liuzhai, he's still got it all!"

Araki then gave Genryusai a thumbs-up and praised him softly.

"Araki, where is your Bankai?"

"Araki, don't tell me later, after you've lost to me, that you don't acknowledge the outcome of this battle because you don't have Bankai."
