Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

Just when Ichigo thought he was about to face another fierce battle, the old man said calmly, "Unohana, heal them. The rest of you, come with me to the First Division for a meeting."

"Yes!"

Before Ichigo could figure out what was going on, he was swallowed whole by the manta ray. After eating both Ichigo and Byakuya, Hana sat on the manta ray's back and slowly flew towards the Fourth Division.

Meanwhile, in Hueco Mundo, in Las Noches Palace.

After returning, Zhang Shan and Lilyne put out the seasonings and were playing around in the base of the Ten Blades.

"No one was born standing in the heavens, neither you nor I, not even God! But this tedious period of vacancy is about to end, and from this day forward, I will stand in the heavens!"

"There's more action! Broken glasses, slicked-back hair!" Zhang Shan reminded him from the side.

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes!"

Lilynette took out a pair of glasses frames, and the next moment, the glasses frames in her hand turned into dust. Her small hand brushed across her forehead, and her previously loose green hair was instantly straightened!

Both Xiao Wu and Nilu smiled, with Nilu even pounding the ground with her fist, laughing until tears streamed down her face.

"Hahaha! I never knew Aizen had such a pretentious side. I never noticed it before!"

Just as they were laughing, Aizen's expression turned sour at their doorway.

He remained expressionless, his hand, which had been about to knock on the door, hovering in mid-air, unable to fall.

Gin Ichimaru, standing beside him, squinted and smiled, "Lord Aizen, aren't you going in to chat and laugh with them?"

He glanced at Gin Ichimaru indifferently, and the latter immediately felt a pang of fear.

Without any exchange, Aizen left the place.

I originally planned to use the Hogyoku to help Nel evolve, but I think I can postpone it a bit.

Let's use the virtual objects we just collected to conduct the face-breaking experiment first.

For the next month, the Palace of the Void was filled with wails.

In Aizen's evil experiments, countless Hollows perished, with only a few hundred surviving.

That day, Aizen sent someone to summon Zhang Shan.

Inside the plaza of Hueco Mundo.

Zhang Shan, with his arms as a pillow, appeared unhurriedly beside Aizen and asked, "Yo, Lord Aizen, what brings you here?"

Aizen pointed to the densely packed Hollows below and said, "These Arrancar are all yours. In two months, I want to see an Espada capable of resisting the Gotei 13."

Looking down, hundreds of Arrancars of the Breaker level came into Zhang Shan's view.

He had observed these Arrancars when he arrived. Their spiritual pressure was quite good, and even the weakest one was probably about the same strength as Kensei Muguruma.

Of course, Zhang Shan had never met Quanxi; this was entirely his deduction.

Standing at the very front of these broken masks were faces that Zhang Shan was quite familiar with.

The blonde, dark-skinned beauty Halibel, the blue-haired boy Grimmjow, the muscular Yammy, the pink-haired pervert Szayelaporro, Aronello with a strange bottle on his neck, and the dark-skinned Zomalia.

However, we did not see Nnoitra, who ambushed Nel as in the original work.

After scanning the group, Zhang Shan smiled and said, "No problem. You just need to focus on your own business. We Espada will take care of the Gotei 13!"

Chapter 168: Strengthening the Hogyoku!

In the square, all the broken-faced figures were looking at the two people on the high platform.

To be precise, they were all watching Zhang Shan.

They had already witnessed Aizen's strength, but this was the first time they had met Zhang Shan, the legendary leader of the Espada.

Before witnessing Zhang Shan's strength, these weaklings would never submit.

The most outspoken of them all is Grimmjow.

He pointed at Zhang Shan and shouted, "Hey! You brat! Come and fight me! If you lose, you'd better hand over the position of leader of the Ten Blades!"

As Grimmjow clamored, many Arrancar began to stir.

Clearly, they shared Grimmjow's idea: they all wanted to clash with Zhang Shan, the leader of the Espada.

Faced with their provocation, Zhang Shan didn't tolerate it and immediately released a tiny bit of his spiritual pressure!

boom! !

In an instant, the air became thick and sticky, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on them, making every bone in their bodies creak and groan.

On the high platform, Zhang Shan sneered, "Those who can stand up within ten seconds will become my Ten Blades. By the way, there are only seven spots available now. As for those who can't stand up... hehe~"

The final laugh sent a chill down the spines of the Arrancar, and the aura of death emanated from them.

"Conquer him, Mermaid Queen!"

boom!

A golden spiritual pressure erupted, and Halibel, wielding a giant bone sword, was the first to stand up, staring intently at Zhang Shan.

Next, one by one, the Arrancar released their Zanpakuto, unleashing their full power.

In the end, those who stood up were all members of the Espada from the original work.

Among them, Halibel has the highest spiritual pressure, followed by Yammy, and then the ranking is the same as that of the Espada.

As time passed, only Halibel, Yammy, Grimmjow, Zomalia, Szayelaporro, and Aronilo managed to stand up under Zhang Shan's spiritual pressure.

As Zhang Shan's spiritual pressure disappeared, the other Arrancars turned ashen-faced.

Just as they awaited their death, Zhang Shan's voice rang out again: "The six of you come with me to take the ranking test. As for the other Arrancar, go change your clothes. From now on, you will be the guards of Las Noches and will be responsible for patrolling."

"By the way, if any of you have a conflict and want to fight, you should let me know first. I will prepare a fighting ring for you."

After saying his last words, Zhang Shan and Aizen walked ahead, with Halibel and the others following behind them, until they arrived at a dilapidated square.

Xiao Wu and his group were already waiting here. Xiao Wu was somewhat surprised to see Zhang Shan bring so many people.

After they stopped, Zhang Shan introduced them: "Of the four of them, Lilynet is a first-blade, Ulquiorra is a second-blade, and Baidgan is a third-blade."

“I am the Four Blades!” Nel jumped up and shouted.

In terms of spiritual pressure alone, among the newly arrived Arrancar, only Halibel's spiritual pressure is slightly higher than Nel's; the others are indeed inferior to Nel.

Zhang Shan smiled at Aizen beside him and said, "Lord Aizen, when will you help us evolve too?"

Aizen smiled and said, "Now is fine."

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, a bead emitting a purple light flew out from Aizen's chest.

“Next, I will use the Hogyoku to enhance your power. Just don’t resist,” Aizen said.

Nel was the first to undergo the evolution of the Hogyoku.

As the purple light completely enveloped Nil, a series of crisp cracking sounds echoed in the silent air.

Zhang Shan looked at Nilu nervously, holding a coat in his hand in case anything unexpected happened.

The purple light lasted for less than ten seconds before Nel's evolution was over.

As the light faded, a tall and beautiful woman appeared before everyone.

Nilu was wearing a furry leather coat that covered her private parts.

The horse's body behind it had disappeared, and if it weren't for the small piece of white bone mask on its head, it would look no different from a human.

Zhang Shan draped the white coat over Nilu's shoulders and asked with a smile, "How are you feeling? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"No, I feel better than ever before!"

With a punch from Nel, pink spiritual pressure erupted, creating a storm that nearly knocked Grimmjow and the others off balance.

At this moment, they deeply felt the gap between themselves and Wang Xu.

Unexpectedly, even a random person next to the leader of the Espada is stronger than the Arrancars that Aizen carefully selected!

After being strengthened by the Hogyoku, Nel's confidence soared. Just as she was about to make a surprising statement, Zhang Shan preemptively said, "Lilynet, you help rank the newcomers. Nel and I are leaving now."

After saying that, Zhang Shan dragged Nel away from the place, which made Aizen's eyes twitch.

However, Lord Aizen was magnanimous and did not say anything.

He looked at Lilynet and smiled, "Do you still want to strengthen your Hogyoku?"

"necessary!"

Next, Lilyne, Ulquiorra, and Baidgan were all enhanced by the Hogyoku, and their spiritual pressure was increased dramatically, at least five times stronger than before.

Aizen never doubted their potential, after all, these were Voidlings he had evolved, and in Soul Society, such people were definitely top-tier captains.

To his surprise, none of them changed in appearance after evolving.

Baidgan was still a skeleton, and so were Ulquiorra and Lilyneto, still in their pre-enhancement forms. If it weren't for the fact that the spiritual pressure emanating from them had indeed increased several times over, Aizen would have suspected that the Hogyoku had made a mistake.

"It seems that Hollows have other directions for evolution," Aizen thought to himself.

Since Zhang Shan and Nel went to biology class, Lilyne is now in charge of the Espada.

The little girl waved her hand and laughed loudly, "Now I will personally test your strength!"

Upon hearing the little girl say that he was going to take action, Baidegang instantly perked up!

Bai Degang still vividly remembers being instantly defeated by Xiao Wu. He admits that Xiao Wu's moves are very effective against him and that his opponent is ranked above him. He concedes defeat!

However, the little girl never made a move, and Baidegang didn't believe that Lilynet could also control her aging ability!

Simply put, Laobai got a boost and got a little cocky.

"Please advise!"

Bang!

Halibel, wielding a large sword, stared resolutely at Lilynet.

This made Lilynette a little embarrassed, and she quickly said, "We're just doing a preliminary test, there's no need to make it so serious..."

Aizen and the others stood on the high platform. On the field, Lilyneto pointed a pistol and asked, "Ready?"

"Alright!" Halibel was on high alert, every muscle in his body tensing up!

"Alright, let's start running for our lives! Unlimited reload!"
