Upon hearing this, Hisana seemed to have nothing else to do but pray for Byakuya.

Furthermore, after Rukia and Renji completed four years of study at the Spirit Arts Academy, including the two years they had already attended, they had successfully completed the standard six-year program. As a result, they participated in the final graduation exam of the Spirit Arts Academy. Fortunately, both Rukia and Renji passed the final exam and successfully graduated from the Spirit Arts Academy!

After graduation, Rukia, following Hishin's wishes, went to report to the relatively relaxed and safe '13th Division'. As for Renji, although Rukia invited him to report to the '13th Division' as well, Renji refused. He ultimately went to the '11th Division'. According to Renji, he now needed greater power, and among all the 'Gotei 13', only the '11th Division', being a combat division, could meet his current needs.

Rukia expressed her understanding and respect for Renji's attitude.

"Rukia, just you wait! I'll catch up with that man."

"Although catching up with that man proves absolutely nothing..."

"But I'm still going to catch up with him! Even surpass him!"

Rukia had no idea that from the very first day Renji met Byakuya, a strong competitive spirit had risen deep within him. Although Renji knew that he was no match for Byakuya in terms of status, he wanted to catch up with Byakuya in terms of strength.

Renji didn't know what Byakuya had done to him. Even though Byakuya hadn't done anything, he still wanted to defeat Byakuya. Renji attributed this to his pride as a man.

Incidentally, Aizen did not interfere with the internships of Renji, Kira, Hinamori Momo, and others in the human world. After all, the current 'Shinigami Academy' is controlled by Yamamoto Genryusai, and Aizen could not make arrangements in advance...

In addition, if any accident happens to the students of the 'Spirit Arts Academy', Yuan Liuzhai, as the dean, will definitely investigate to the end. This could easily cause Aizen to encounter a lot of unexpected troubles and situations that he does not want to see. Therefore, the students of the 'Spirit Arts Academy' in recent years have landed relatively smoothly.

However, although Aizen did not control the Spirit Arts Academy as much as in the original work, manipulating the internships and employment of all the students, as the captain of the Fifth Division, it was still easy for him to recruit people into the Fifth Division in advance. So Aizen continued to make arrangements within the Gotei 13, only he changed to a more gentle method.

A base in 'Wandering Souls Street'.

The base contained countless experimental instruments and enormous petri dishes.

In front of a device that looked no different from a computer, Tosen Kaname and Aizen seemed to be fiddling with something. Although Tosen Kaname was blind, he operated the computer with unusual ease, and from his rapid finger movements, it was clear that he was a computer expert.

"Lord Aizen, I'm so sorry, so sorry!"

"Something happened at our unit, so we're late~"

Just as Tosen and Aizen were engrossed in looking at the computer, the door to the secret room suddenly opened, and Gin Ichimaru, with a sinister smile on his face and his eyes narrowed, walked in while making jokes.

"Oh my, I heard that your 'Third Division' has recruited quite a few talented people~"

Aizen turned around, looked at the late Gin, and smiled.

"There are indeed quite a few talented people."

"One of the girls, I think her name is Kani Ze Hotaru, that girl is truly a genius! She just graduated from the 'Spiritual Arts Academy,' and she already possesses a Spiritual Might comparable to a Seat Official at the fifteenth level. She has a very promising future~"

After hearing Aizen's words, Gin smiled.

"Heh, speaking of geniuses, it seems you're the greatest genius, aren't you, Yin!"

"Speaking of which, it's been so long that I've almost forgotten what level of spiritual power you had when you graduated from the 'Spiritual Arts Academy', Yin!"

Aizen looked at Gin and asked.

"Oh dear, I can't remember either~"

Upon hearing this, Yin simply smiled.

"Just like Shiba Kaien, the genius of the Shiba family who was once famous throughout the Soul Society, and who is also the current vice-captain of the 13th Division..."

"Gin Ichimaru graduated from the Spirit Arts Academy in just one year, and his Spirit Power had already reached Level 5 by graduation, comparable to the vice-captain of the Gotei 13."

Kaname Tosen, who had been fiddling with the instruments, turned his head after hearing Aizen and Gin's conversation and spoke calmly to the two in front of him.

"Wow~"

"Captain Tosen, you remember that so clearly!"

"Amazing! Amazing! You're so talented!"

After hearing what Tosen said, Gin immediately clapped in front of Tosen.

"Nonsense, who do you think was in charge of the newspapers back then?"

After finishing speaking, Tosen ignored the late Gin and continued his research.

"..."

Gin knew that Tosen was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he shrugged and walked to Aizen's side.

"Haha~"

Aizen simply smiled at this.

Six years later...

Byakuya Kuchiki and Kukaku Shiba have been training at the Spirit King Palace for ten years!

Both Byakuya and Kukaku have experienced a qualitative change in their power and spiritual might compared to before they went to the 'Spirit King Palace'! They are both much stronger than before.

"Alright! You two, both of you, stand naked and get ready!"

"Yes, that's right, okay, okay..."

"I've finished your brand new Shinigami outfit~"

After Byakuya and Kukaku obtained the new Shinigami armor from Senjumaru, they met the "Sword God" Nimaiya Oetsu once again. This was the second time they had seen Oetsu since arriving at the "Spirit King Palace." This time, they finally learned the identity of the person in front of them: the creator of all Zanpakuto in the "Soul Society."

"Long time no see, Byakuya-kun and Kukaku-chan~"

"Your Zanpakuto have become countless times stronger after my modifications! If you were in your current state, you should be able to easily pass the Gotei 13's captain's test!"

Wang Yue returned the swords he had taken from Byakuya and Kukaku after their first meeting to them.

"Senbonzakura!"

After receiving his Zanpakuto, Byakuya first drew it from its sheath. Looking at the Zanpakuto gleaming with a cold light, he knew clearly that the sword had become even sharper than before.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

As for Kukaku on the other side, she kept swinging her Zanpakuto, and suddenly shouted at the clouds in the sky: "Getsuga Tenshou!!"

Suddenly, a golden crescent moon flew out from Kukaku's Zanpakuto, shattering the distant clouds in one gulp.

"He really has become stronger!"

In response, Kukaku looked at the Zanpakuto in his hand and laughed foolishly.

"puff!"

Then, Wang Yue punched Kong He's head hard.

"Idiot! This is the 'Spirit King's Palace'! Not a place for you to use slashing attacks!"

After punching Kong He in the head until it was covered in a big bump, Wang Yue said angrily.

"I know, I know..."

Upon hearing this, Kong He said helplessly.

"Alright! Now that you know, get back to Seireitei!"

"Let me repeat myself, this is the 'Spirit King's Palace'! It's not a place you can just wander around in. You're incredibly fortunate to have been able to cultivate here for ten years."

Wang Yue crossed her arms in front of her and spoke coldly.

"Okay, okay~"

While saying this aloud, Kukaku thought to herself, "I didn't want to come either! Captain-Commander Araki tricked me into coming here, okay?!"

In short, after Kukaku and Byakuya had completed their trials, they were thrown into the Heavenly Pillar by Oue and then sent to the Soul Society.

"Hey! Wang Yue, are you busy?"

It was after Wang Yue finished doing all this...

The monk's figure appeared directly behind Wang Yue.

"Yo, Hyosubu~"

"Why are you here?"

"Could it be that His Majesty the 'Spirit King' has issued another decree?"

Wang Yue greeted the monk quietly.

"Haha, no..." The monk laughed loudly after hearing Wang Yue's words, then his expression turned serious. He said to Wang Yue in a deep voice, "The time predicted by His Majesty the 'Spirit King' is almost here!"

"Um?!"

Wang Yue's pupils trembled slightly after hearing the monk's words.

“That was the ‘future’ that His Majesty the ‘Spirit King’ saw millions of years ago!”

The monk looked at the shocked Wang Yue and spoke calmly.

"Really? Is the future already predetermined?"

Wang Yue seemed to understand something. He appeared to be asking the monk a question, but in reality, he was talking to himself.

"It's not..."

However, to Wang Yue's surprise, the monk shook his head after hearing Wang Yue's words.

"Eh?"

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment.

"The 'Spirit King' didn't tell me that such monsters would appear in the sky."

The monk stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky above, where the azure-colored palace belonging to Araki was still trying to devour the 'Spirit King Palace'. He then put his hands in his sleeves and turned to leave.

"Let's just take it one step at a time."

"a ha ha ha……"

The monk spoke and laughed as he walked toward his own departure hall.

"..."

This made Wang Yue fall silent. What was the monk thinking? What did he want to do? What had the monk heard from His Majesty the 'Spirit King' before he became a wedge millions of years ago? Only the monk knew the answers to these questions.

"I hate you riddle people the most!"

"Damn it! From now on, all you riddle tellers, stay away from me!"

After thinking for a while, Wang Yue gave up and went home to sharpen his knife.

ground.

"boom!"
