The only player in the world of Bleach.

The instant spiritual power erupted.

A light flickered incessantly beside Yusuke Matsushita.

Unlike any previous Zanpakuto release, the light emanating from Matsushita Yusuke contained a colorless divine aura, revealing an extraordinary presence between its flickering and fading.

With a soft murmur, the spiritual energy of the Zanpakuto in Matsushita Yusuke's hand surged and transformed into a hazy halo in an instant.

"The Vajra splits the earth, illuminating ignorance."

The Initial Understanding - Vajra Treasury.

Pong!

A crisp sound rang out, as if the air around Yusuke Matsushita had been shattered, presenting a fragmented, glassy appearance.

Yusuke Matsushita made a grasping motion with his right hand.

He caught the light.

Then...

The blinding light rapidly receded inwards, converging towards the inside. Like an energy cluster undergoing continuous fusion, it shattered with a bang after approaching a certain limit.

It transformed into a long, thick blade, yet it did not appear ferocious.

It was the very "Tang sword" design that Yusuke Matsushita had painstakingly created!

Holding it in his hand, Yusuke Matsushita gently waved it.

The tactile sensation returned as if it were his own arm, giving him an even greater sense of control over his own power.

This is...

Initial Release!

His spiritual energy surged, and power continuously emerged.

The brilliance reflected from within is boundless and profound, and the essence of its power is taking shape in the mind.

Matsushita Yusuke, like a Buddhist disciple who has attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, knows everything about this Zanpakuto.

Gui Yancheng frowned and looked at the person in front of him. The aura emanating from the other party gave him a subtle sense of disgust... However, compared to that, what was more worthy of attention at the moment was the change in form.

This guy can also unleash his Zanpakuto?

Without a doubt, this is absolutely not the level of skill a graduate student should display.

After all, even within the Gotei 13, there are only about a hundred people who can unleash their Zanpakuto.

This guy's just a graduate student? Are you kidding me... How is that possible?!

"Hey kid."

Gui Yancheng spoke.

He had initially acted arrogantly, but now his expression had changed noticeably.

"Who exactly sent you to play this trick on me?"

"...?"

Matsushita Yusuke, standing with his sword drawn, raised an eyebrow, revealing a rather puzzled expression.

What is this guy saying?

"Stop hiding your true colors. Someone like you can't be some nobody. Since you can unleash your Zanpakuto, you must already be someone with some reputation."

He quickly went through all the people and events that had happened in the past in his mind.

Certain appearances and names emerged one by one at this moment, lingering in his mind for a long time without dissipating.

"What benefits did those people give you?"

He lowered his voice slightly and spoke in a tentative tone.

"I'll give you double... no, triple! Stop arguing with me, just admit defeat and I can forgive your past offenses."

The sudden change in attitude made Matsushita Yusuke raise his eyebrows.

What's going on with this almost schizophrenic attitude?

Before my thoughts could settle.

A familiar notification box appeared in Matsushita Yusuke's mind.

[Defeat Kenpachi Oni-no-Yanjo (Shikai)]

[Synopsis: Gui Yancheng is cunning by nature, far less crude than his appearance suggests. He will not hesitate to bully the lower classes, but when faced with risky situations, he will stop in time, assess the situation, and weigh the gains and losses... He is extremely cunning, making him an excellent litmus test.]

[Reward: Spiritual Pressure Level +10, Basic Four Elements +3, Zanpakuto Physical Attack +5]

Seeing this, Matsushita Yusuke, who had been somewhat doubtful, now understood.

No wonder there were no missions at the beginning.

So this was where they were waiting for him?

"Kenpachi Oniyama is inherently suspicious, and he'll only compromise after witnessing my strength... If that condition isn't triggered, then this negotiation might not even be possible?"

That makes a lot of sense.

He shows absolutely no consideration for the lower classes; only after displaying his massive fists will this crude fellow understand the importance of assessing the situation...

In addition, the rewards are indeed very "generous," so there is no reason to refuse.

Moreover, the task description is very clear.

The target is only Oni-Ganjo in his "Shikai" form; his subsequent Bankai is not included... So completing this task doesn't seem too difficult!

After clarifying the rules and regulations, Yusuke Matsushita couldn't help but reveal a subtle smile.

"To be honest, I'd really like to say yes."

Gui Yancheng raised an eyebrow, a "I knew it" expression appearing on his ferocious face.

brat...

I knew you were the kind of person who was insatiable!

"Then surrender quickly, I..."

"But unfortunately, you can't give me what I need."

There's nothing I can do; that's how the task is written.

"Well then... I'm going to go."

At this moment, Matsushita Yusuke still showed some "martial virtue" by not immediately stepping forward, but instead giving a warning before taking a fighting stance.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Gui Yancheng was still saying things that sounded like he was begging for mercy.

but.

His hand movements, however, were completely different.

The violent force of his right hand swept over silently, the wide and long shape of the saber stirring up dust waves, and flashes of crimson lightning, actually cutting out a thin blade of energy in the air.

From a distance, it even reminded Yusuke Matsushita of the "Creek Sky Peak" from the original work.

"Simply compressed spiritual energy...and then channeled into a blade of light by swinging it?"

He has quite the qualities of an old friend.

But it was far from enough to impress Yusuke Matsushita.

With just one step forward, Matsushita Yusuke silently raised the Vajra Zangetsu in his hand.

Unlike the overwhelming power of the violent attack, the blade in Matsushita Yusuke's hand was completely concealed at this moment, with no trace of energy leakage.

However, that is not the problem.

—Won't he dodge?!

The blade flashed and surged toward him. Soi Fon, watching from behind, was filled with anxiety.

"Hey! Idiot!"

She couldn't help but shout out, but before she could say another word.

Yusuke Matsushita had already swung the long blade in his hand down.

call……

The sound of air being cut was clean and crisp. Matsushita Yusuke went straight toward the blade's energy and swung his long blade down.

The two collided, but not even a literal stalemate occurred...

With a crisp echo, the sword energy unleashed by the violent force shattered! Matsushita Yusuke stepped on these fragments of spiritual energy and charged forward, wielding his sword with both hands, slashing down at Oni-no-Kage.

His smile was radiant, and his tone was high-spirited.

"Hey! Let's have a head-on collision!"

Whose knife is harder?!
