Infinite: Start as a ghost

"This was the last news I received two years ago. Whether you can find it or not depends on you," Kisuke Urahara said with a smile.

Jiang Jiu left...

After he left, Kisuke Urahara finally relaxed and looked at the severed head in Tessai's hand with a serious expression.

"Manager..."

"Observe this head carefully for a day. If there is no change after a day, hand it over to those guys at the Technology Development Bureau."

"Yes," Tiezhai said, "that guest..."

“I don’t know.” Urahara said solemnly, “He was able to regenerate his own head without any damage, and there was no fluctuation of spiritual pressure during the process. Moreover, judging from his behavior just now, he really did not have any spiritual pressure before.”

“In our world, any anomaly is attributed to changes in spiritual pressure, but he doesn’t!”

"This is something that Fullbring cannot do."

“He said he had no identity, and I’m convinced of that. He… is not human.”

Tessai stared intently at the severed head in his hand.

Urahara continued, "When I injected spiritual pressure into him before, he asked me what level that level of spiritual pressure was."

"This means he has indeed never been exposed to spiritual pressure."

"Then my answer is the third or fourth seat. Do you think there's anything wrong with that?"

Tiezhai shook his head: "There's no problem."

"Is that so?" Urahara said in a deep voice, "Does he know what the so-called third or fourth seat means?"

"I specifically asked him if he wanted me to explain, and his answer was no."

What does this mean?

"This means he knows about the existence of the Soul Society, and even has a considerable understanding of it."

Tessai thought for a moment and asked, "Since he knows about Fullbring and Quincy, it's not surprising that he knows about Soul Society, is it?"

"So here's the question," Urahara adjusted his hat, "how does someone so unfamiliar with spiritual pressure know all this?"

Tiezhai fell into deep thought.

As they were talking, the head in Tiezhai's hand suddenly exploded, splattering blood all over him.

"Just as I expected, he couldn't possibly have done nothing wrong." Urahara chuckled. "He's quite the cautious one."

On the other side...

Jiang Jiu walked down the street, looking thoughtfully at Urahara's direction.

He came looking for a way to quickly obtain spiritual pressure, but unexpectedly, he actually took out a spirit sword!

The Spirit Blade was specially made by Soul Society to restore Ichigo Kurosaki's power near the end of the Fullbring arc.

Why would it appear in this world now?

Chapter 6 Fullbringer: Yukio

Jiang Jiu didn't rush to the address Urahara had given him. Before going, he needed to practice controlling his spiritual pressure. Otherwise, he would be discovered before he even got close to Ginjo Kūgo and the others, which would be very detrimental to his future development.

Moreover, given his current spiritual pressure levels as the third and fourth seat, even if he got close, it wouldn't be of much use; he wouldn't have enough power to do what he wanted.

But what should we do?

His current spiritual pressure is over a thousand points. Is there any way to make him gain more spiritual pressure?

Are we supposed to accumulate wealth by eating people bit by bit?

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiu shook his head. It was too impractical. Even if he were willing to do it, the efficiency would be too low.

A meal only increases spiritual pressure by a few points; who knows how long it would take to reach over a thousand points?

Just then, he saw a shadowy figure appear in front of him.

"Eating empty shells?"

Just as he thought of this, he shook his head frantically: "No, we can't attack any faction other than humans now, otherwise we'll be hostile to the entire faction."

"What should I do then?" Jiang Jiu thought with a headache: "Why did I choose neutrality in the first place? I was too greedy."

He felt a vague sense of regret.

"The Hōgyoku." After thinking for a while, Jiang Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I get the Hōgyoku, none of this will be a problem."

However, obtaining the Hogyoku is another major problem, and it seems unlikely given the current situation.

"I'm not going to think about that now. The most important thing is to learn to fully control my spiritual pressure." Jiang Jiu said fiercely, "If all else fails, I'll just brute force my way through. I don't believe that with my immortal body, there's anything I need to be afraid of."

With that, he found a place and began to wholeheartedly try to learn how to control his spiritual pressure.

Strangely enough, it didn't take long before he was able to control it freely, as if he had been used to this power since childhood.

"What's going on? I was finding it hard to control just now?"

Jiang Jiu was surprised and displeased by the smooth progress.

He opened the system interface, opened the skill bar, and a skill caught his eye.

[Talent: All-Round]

Is it because of this talent?

Click to view the skill description.

Wanrong: Able to absorb all energy and quickly master it. (Volume 1, Chapter 113: Acquired this talent...)

After reading the skill description, Jiang Jiu was overjoyed: "It seems that I won't have to worry about gaining any form of power in the future."

Suddenly, he remembered his skill that gave him a hundred times the talent: "That's right, I already have spiritual pressure, I can train on my own, why do I have to think about absorbing other people's spiritual pressure?"

Therefore, Jiang Jiu decided to find a place to cultivate in seclusion and raise his spiritual pressure to at least the level of a vice captain.

With that in mind, he went to the cemetery and found a secluded spot to begin absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.

There isn't much spiritual energy in the mortal world, but fortunately, Karakura Town is the city with the most abundant spiritual energy in the mortal world, and the cemetery is the place with the most spiritual energy in Karakura Town.

Many people like to linger here, and occasionally it can even lead to some falsehoods.

A day passed, and Jiang Jiu frowned deeply: "The speed at which I absorb spiritual energy is too slow. Even with a hundred times the cultivation talent, I can only increase my spiritual pressure by a dozen points a day?"

"No wonder those captains cultivate for decades or even centuries; the growth of spiritual power is really a problem."

"They're still training in Soul Society."

He was very dissatisfied with his progress in cultivation.

"It seems there's no other way but to risk going to Silver City." Jiang Jiu hesitated. He was reluctant to meet them at this time because he was also wary of Tsukishima Hidekuro's abilities.

"Let's take a gamble. His ability shouldn't work on my ghost fetus." Jiang Jiu's face hardened. "His ability should only be effective against spiritual pressure or souls."

Having made up his mind, Jiang Jiu set off towards the address recorded there.

Modern transportation is very convenient; a journey that would take several days in the Demon Slayer world can now be completed in less than a day.

This is Komatsu Town, which is separated from Karakura Town by two cities.

Karakura Town is a place closely watched by Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, so naturally, Fullbringers wouldn't stay there.

Upon arriving at the recorded address, Jiang Jiu did not find anyone.

"Did they leave, or did they go into hiding?"

Jiang Jiu leans towards the first guess.

After all, it's normal for people like them, who live in hiding, to frequently change bases.

Their organization was called the Executive Department, which later became a fixed position.

But Jiang Jiu doesn't think they have it yet.

He searched the vicinity again, but still found nothing.

"So, the news from two years ago is still outdated?" Jiang Jiu was somewhat disappointed.

He was unsure how to proceed and had no ideas for the time being.

I could only wander around aimlessly.

Komatsu-cho is slightly less luxurious than Karakura-cho, but it's still quite luxurious.

Jiang Jiu wandered aimlessly through the streets, pondering her future path.

Then he saw a towering building.

Vehans Industries.

He had his eye on a ramen shop next to this building.

This ramen shop is of medium quality, not too big or too small, and looks pleasing to the eye.

He remembered something: Ginjou Kūgo seemed to really like ramen, so he decided to try his luck.

As he approached the ramen shop, he saw a teenager emerge from the building.

The boy had light blond hair, wore a baseball cap, a black trench coat, and trousers.

The boy kept playing handheld games as he walked.

Jiang Jiu looked at him with shining eyes.

Master Yukio.

Chapter 7 Meeting Yincheng

Next, Jiang Jiu faced two choices.

First: Pretend to casually release spiritual pressure, "accidentally" attracting Yukio's attention.

Second: Directly state your purpose.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, he decided to choose the second option.

The first option has too many drawbacks.
