Infinite: Start as a ghost

However, Jiang Jiu, who had taken control of the royal seal, was filled with resentment.

"Damn it, why did you have to cut the King's Seal? Now there's not a single bit of spiritual energy left inside. You've used it all up. I have to use my own spiritual energy to use the power of space."

While complaining, he used the Royal Seal to return to the Call Valley base.

"You're finally back?" Yanlong asked anxiously. "How did the battle go?"

Jiang Jiu: "..."

"You already know I'm back, why are you still asking about the battle?"

Even more anxious was Tenbei Xiuzhu.

He could have returned to Soul Society as an undercover agent, but he encountered several vice-captains, and now he can only rely on Jiang for help.

If something happens to Jiang Jiu, he doesn't know what to do.

"What are the plans after this?" Tenbei Shusuke asked.

Jiang Jiu laughed and said, "No rush, let's wait for an opportunity. Something big is bound to happen in Hueco Mundo soon, let's just wait and see."

At this moment, a powerful spiritual pressure suddenly erupted, drawing the attention of the group.

"I did it! I did it! Hahaha!" Ichinose shouted excitedly, "I can use Bankai!"

"Swastika camouflage holy light and red clouds!"

Ichinose's sword was about half again as big as before, and her shihaka was gone, replaced by a colorful samurai outfit.

It feels like a VIP outfit in some games that you've bought with diamonds, radiating light from head to toe.

"Congratulations, Ichinose," Jiang Jiu said with a smile. "With this, our side now has four captain-level combatants."

"This is all thanks to the adults' nurturing," Ichinose said excitedly.

Even after Ichinose achieved Bankai, he could only be considered a near-captain level fighter at best. However, he was taught the Mist Breathing technique, which raised Ichinose's fighting power to the next level, making him a captain.

Kifune was both envious and jealous, as he was the only Shinigami present who didn't know how to use Bankai.

Jiang Jiu noticed his dejected expression and went over to comfort him, saying, "Don't worry, you'll master it soon. It's not a difficult thing."

"Ichinose, please introduce your abilities to everyone."

“Yes, sir.” Ichinose began to explain her Bankai.

"As everyone knows, my Zanpakuto belongs to the Kido school, and so does my Bankai."

"You all know the original abilities of my Zanpakuto: invisibility and the technique 'Holy Light Rainbow'."

"Now, the power of my Holy Light Rainbow is about five times stronger than before, and its radiance is also much richer."

"Previously, we could only become invisible, but now we can also use light to create visual illusions for the enemy."

"This is my Bankai ability."

Chapter 140 Recuperate

Several days have passed, and none of the factions have made any rash moves.

Jiang Jiu recovered her spiritual power at the Jiaogu base and took a break to recuperate.

The only activity involved was the interaction between Koga Takeshi and the Fullbringer.

Today, Kibune received some bad news.

The divine body is damaged.

His Zanpakuto has a higher attack power, unlike Ichinose who belongs to the Kido type.

After Ichinose used the Transcendental Body, the remaining defects were insufficient for him to complete his Bankai.

Jiang Jiu sighed: "Can't you just order easily?"

Kibune Ryo: "Are you kidding me?"

Jiang Jiu: "Yes..."

Kibune: "..."

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "No need to rush, what level have you reached in your cultivation?"

“Just a little bit more.” Kifune looked like a wronged woman. “Just a tiny bit more.”

"I understand." Jiang Jiu patted his shoulder. "I'll solve this problem for you soon."

"Ichinose," Jiang Jiu called him over, "You just learned Bankai, you need to familiarize yourself with the power more."

Ichinose: "My lord, I am constantly striving to train."

“Fight more with Kishinari. He’s almost done for. Help him out,” Jiang Jiu said with a smile.

"Me?" Ichinose was a little confused.

Kibune: "..."

"Sir, is this what you meant by 'very fast'?"

"Don't think I'm joking," Jiang Jiu said seriously to the two of them. "Transforming the Divine Body only provides a shortcut. Every shortcut has some kind of flaw."

"Kifune, once you truly master Bankai through rigorous training, your strength might surpass that of Ichinose now."

Ichinose's eyes narrowed instantly.

“Ichinose, don’t think I’m joking,” Jiang Jiu said. “Just as I said, your Bankai is likely incomplete.”

“I know that too many people think they have mastered Bankai, but in fact they are all incomplete.”

"For example, Renji Abarai."

"For example, Toshiro Hiyaban, the captain of the 10th Division."

"Ichinose, don't think you can be careless just because you've learned Bankai. Your growth is far from over."

“Kifune, since you say you are only one step away from Bankai, then fight him and complete your final practical training.”

No reply was given.

Jiang Jiu smiled and patted his shoulder: "Learn Bankai first, and I can give you even greater power in the future."

“I understand.” Kifune took a deep breath and then said to Ichinose, “I’m counting on you, Masaki-kun.”

Ichinose smiled and said, "Nice to meet you."

After resolving the two's issues, Jiang Jiu arrived at the edge of Coral Island: "How did it go?"

"The equipment is all set, but your blood is still under observation, so we can't give you any answers right now," Coral Island said.

"I understand." Jiang Jiu nodded. "Has Koga Tsuyoshi not returned yet?"

“No,” Coral Island said. “He said he’d be back a little late today, and it might happen often in the future.”

"All right……"

He then went to Tenbei Xiuzhu's side: "How is your injury healing?"

“It will take some more time,” Tenbei Shusuke said. “He has recovered about 70-80% of his strength now, and he should be fully recovered in another three or four days.”

Jiang Jiu lowered his head in deep thought. They had no medical personnel and needed to find a way to solve this problem.

"Will none of you answer?" Jiang Jiu asked.

The others all denied it, and Coral Island said, "I know a little, but I'm not good at it."

"If we had the right equipment, we could treat some of the less serious injuries. At present, we can only do the simplest treatments."

Jiang Jiu shook her head as she listened, saying that this so-called simplest treatment was practically useless.

"Aren't you a scientist? Aren't you the one who specializes in studying death-related physical constitutions?"

"Yes, I'm very good at anatomy."

"Uh..." It seems that after the final battle between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, he will have to go to Hueco Mundo to find some Arrancar who specialize in medical treatment.

The loyalty of the fake ones is probably not very high, so you can try to win over a few of them.

He called Yanlong and Tianbei Xiuzhu over: "Once you recover, I will teach you a new breathing technique."

“We don’t need to wait for us to recover, we can do it now,” Tenbei Shusuke said. “Let’s cultivate and recover at the same time.”

Jiang Jiu: "That's also possible..."

Yanlong said, "We can put that aside for now. I want to know how you defeated that monster?"

"How do you expect to defeat Kusakabe Sojiro?" Jiang Jiu laughed. "You guys don't have much of a chance, but his opponent is me."

"What a joke. You may be stronger than the two of us, but that monster is on a completely different level from us, isn't it?" Yanlong said. "I still get chills just thinking about that level of spiritual pressure."

Jiang Jiu laughed and said, "He is quite strong, but not as strong as you imagine."

"What do you mean?" Yanlong asked, Tianbei Xiuzhu was also very curious about this battle.

“That person’s spiritual pressure isn’t actually strong, it’s just that the amount is large,” Jiang Jiu said. “You can think of it this way: this person isn’t very strong, but he has great stamina.”

"Really?" Yanlong asked doubtfully.

“You know how terrifying my recovery ability is,” Jiang Jiu laughed. “This battle is actually a battle of endurance.”

"My stamina is just slightly better."

Chapter 141 A Plan to Turn the Tide

Jiang Jiu did not reveal that he knew Bankai, intending to keep it as a backup plan.

The breathing method wasn't deliberately concealed or revealed; it was simply a natural process.

The power of "Beginning Breathing: First Form: Fire" is actually less than that of "Beginning Breathing: Final Form: Sun, Moon, Earth, and Time".

It was only because of the attribute bonus that it gained the upper hand in the battle against the Grass Crown.

This move can only surpass the effects of "Beginning Breathing O End Form O Sun Moon Earth Time" in specific environments, and cannot be used as a trump card.

The only trump card one can use is Bankai, which allows for an explosive increase in one's strength.

Just then, Koga returned.
