Bleach: I'm picking up attributes in Seireitei

"Oh? That's a good suggestion, senior. But then again, I'm quite strong, you know."

"Just treat it as a post-meal digestion exercise, a simple competition to see the difference between me and a genius."

Haiyan scratched his head.

"I'm not exactly a genius... but I do know a good place, it's a bit far, wanna go check it out?"

"OK."

Haiyan went back into the house and brought out two wooden knives.

"Senior, shall we warm up with Instant Step first?"

"Can."

Wang Xun nodded.

Their eyes met, and as soon as they finished speaking, they vanished from their spots.

The next moment, their figures appeared almost simultaneously on both sides of the flat ground at the top of the mountain.

This time, Wang Xun held nothing back.

He had no need to hold back against a formidable opponent like Haiyan.

The more you force Haiyan to use her full strength, the higher the efficiency of obtaining experience fragments will be.

With his full effort, Shunpo's speed was not slow, and he closely followed behind Haiyan.

Haiyan looked back and saw that although he had held back, he hadn't expected Wang Xun to be able to keep up so easily.

That makes sense, after all, he's a senior from the Spirit Arts Academy, how could I easily pull ahead of him by so much?

Haiyan's expression turned serious; he finally began to take this competition seriously.

His speed suddenly increased, leaving behind a glowing fragment that only Wang Xun could see.

Seeing this, Wang Xun subtly adjusted his route, and in the instant the afterimage disappeared, his fingers almost imperceptibly brushed across the air.

[Gained Instant Step skill, Instant Step experience +25]

Shiba Kaien's training experience with Shunpo was instantly integrated into Wang Xun's body.

The two figures chased each other.

This time, Haiyan finally gained the upper hand.

Haiyan raised her eyebrows slightly. Although Wang Xun was a bit slower than her, he was very close in distance, and it wouldn't be easy for him to widen the gap.

Strangely, he sensed a subtle change in Wang Xun's Instant Step style.

Although the overall style was still the one he knew from the Spiritual Arts Academy, some of the twists and turns and the accelerated details subtly reflected his training.

Is it just my imagination...?

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally stopped, standing only a dozen meters apart.

As Wang Xun caught his breath, a flash of surprise crossed Haiyan's eyes.

"Your Instant Step is incredibly fast, senpai."

"This is Mount Koibukuro. There are no other houses around. It is where I usually train and cultivate. It is a suitable place for sparring."

Mount Lifu has a gentle slope and sparse forests. At the top of the mountain is a wide open plain, bathed in the bright moonlight. It is indeed a good place for friendly competition.

Haiyan took out two wooden swords from her back and tossed one to Wang Xun.

Wang Xun took the wooden knife, weighed it in his hand, and found it to be of a suitable weight.

He slowly set up a basic kendo mid-stage stance.

Haiyan also became serious, gripping the knife with both hands and assuming a starting stance, naturally exuding a calm yet sharp aura.

"Senior, be careful."

Without a command, the two moved simultaneously.

The crisp, clear sound of wooden swords clashing echoed far and wide across the silent mountaintop.

The next moment, the sound of wooden swords clashing continued, and the two figures moved swiftly and intertwined under the moonlight.

Haiyan grew increasingly terrified as she fought.

Under the tutelage of Jin Yan and Yin Yan, he was able to suppress most of his peers in swordsmanship.

No matter how turbulent his onslaught was, Wang Xun was always able to steadily withstand it and find an opening to counterattack.

Senior Wang Xun, are you really that strong?

[Gain Kendo insights, Kendo experience +40]

[Gain Kendo insights, Kendo experience +30]

Watching the fragments keep exploding, Wang Xun felt extremely pleased; Haiyan was simply like a mobile treasure trove of experience.

While dealing with the attacks from the seagull, he greedily absorbed the high-quality combat fragments.

Haiyan's swordsmanship experience was quickly assimilated and absorbed by Wang Xun.

His swordplay began to show subtle changes.

As the battle intensified, Haiyan grew increasingly alarmed.

He discovered that some of his usual combos and power-generating techniques were being intentionally or unintentionally imitated and incorporated into Wang Xun's defensive counter-attacks.

This ability to learn and adapt is simply unbelievable.

"good!"

Haiyan shouted loudly, no longer holding back, and unleashed his spiritual pressure. The wooden sword even faintly glowed as he delivered a powerful diagonal slash!

Wang Xun's eyes narrowed. Instead of taking the hit head-on, he used his Instant Step to slide to the side. At the same time, his wooden sword slashed upwards along Haiyan's blade, aiming straight for her wrist!

Haiyan quickly changed her move to block.

With a crisp "crack!", the two wooden swords, infused with spiritual pressure, could not withstand the impact of such force and broke in the middle at the same time!

Amidst flying sawdust, the two almost simultaneously discarded their knives and clashed fists and palms!

The battle has turned into a free-for-all!

Haiyan's fighting style is equally outstanding, powerful and fierce. Combined with the power generation techniques he has honed over the years, the power of each punch should not be underestimated.

Wang Xun's punches and kicks may not seem as powerful as Haiyan's, but his moves are unpredictable and he always has a way to counter them.

Under the moonlight, two figures exchanged blows, their fists and feet flying, muffled thuds echoing continuously.

Dust was stirred up, forming a hazy halo in the moonlight.

Haiyan grew increasingly alarmed as she fought.

At this moment, he finally confirmed it.

Wang Xun was like a sponge, constantly absorbing his combat experience and transforming it into his own at an astonishing speed.

He had never heard of such a thing before: learning from one's opponent in battle and applying the knowledge quickly.

In the heat of battle, Wang Xun, during a close-quarters fight, keenly seized a fleeting opening in Haiyan's attack transition.

This was thanks to the fact that the fragments he absorbed contained a large number of predictions formed from the opponent's fighting habits.

opportunity.

Haiyan's combat instincts were extremely sharp, and a sense of crisis rose within her, but she was too late to dodge when Wang Xun's heavy punch came.

"Bang!"

After an even louder, more muffled thud than before, the two men simultaneously staggered back several steps, leaving shallow craters in the ground beneath their feet.

Haiyan touched her waist; at the last moment of the strike, Wang Xun stopped.

"sharp..."

After catching their breath, the two looked at each other again, their fighting spirit even stronger.

This feels like meeting your match.

Although Haiyan's overall strength surpasses Wang Xun's, Wang Xun's experience is clearly richer, though somewhat eclectic, it is practical.

I wonder where Senior Wang Xun got so much combat experience from his studies at the Spirit Arts Academy over the past few years.

"Again!"

Haiyan shouted, and the two clashed again.

Looking at the fragments scattered all over the sky, Wang Xun's experience bar rapidly increased.

He continued until he felt his spiritual pressure was about to be exhausted and his body was extremely tired.

At this moment, Wang Xun suddenly paused.

Perhaps it was the intense mental and spiritual pressure brought about by the high-intensity battle, or perhaps it was stimulated by the fierce confrontation itself.

The dark red spiritual pressure that had been dormant deep within Wang Xun's soul, unique to the void, suddenly stirred restlessly.

A chilling, violent, and devouring sensation suddenly surged into Wang Xun's heart like a venomous snake.
