Infinite: Start as a ghost

The True Demon's effect is to spend 100 skill points to evolve Blood Demon Art.

With the help of True Spirit (which costs 10 skill points to fuse with Blood Demon Art), he can further enhance his Blood Demon Art, which allows him to remain still for a long time.

Now, his Blood Demon Arts need to be activated one by one before they can be used, so he plans to merge all of them together.

"Blood Demon Art: Extreme Speed..."

"Blood Demon Art: Explosive..."

"Blood Demon Art: Purification..."

"Blood Demon Art: Silence..."

"Blood Demon Art: Mad Demon..."

"Blood Demon Art O Evolution (Stage 2)"

"Blood Demon Art: Transformation..."

"Fusion!"

Jiang Jiu summoned all the skills he wanted to fuse, and then used dozens of skill points to fuse them into a Blood Demon Technique.

"Ding... Blood Demon Art fusion complete, new Blood Demon Art O ultimate evolution..."

"Blood Demon Art O Ultimate Evolution!" he shouted, and his entire body's power suddenly erupted.

However, there was no change in him at all; in the eyes of Tenbei Xiuzhu and the others, there was nothing different about him.

Blood Demon Art enhances the body but doesn't change spiritual pressure, so they can't sense anything about it.

He added "Blood Demon Art: Transformation" to his skills in this episode for this very reason.

Jiang Jiu believes that as his body size increases, so does the size of his target, making him a much easier target.

As your own size increases, the enemy's size becomes relatively smaller, making it slightly more difficult to find them.

In short, he believes that getting bigger is not a good thing, at least now he doesn't have to worry about his underwear bursting when he gets bigger.

However, although he spent these skill points, his overall strength did not actually increase; he simply simplified the process.

However, battles are not just about overall strength; timing is also crucial.

In the past, he needed to spend a lot of time activating each Blood Demon Art in battle, but now he only needs to find an opportunity.

Spending too much time is also a flaw.

Therefore, although his overall strength has not changed, his weaknesses have decreased.

But that alone was not enough for him.

"True demon!"

Another benefit of fusing Blood Demon Arts is that it saves skill points.

"Ding... Blood Demon Art O Ultimate Evolution complete. New Blood Demon Art O Ultimate Evolution (Awakening)"

"Again, True Demon!"

"Ding... Blood Demon Art O Ultimate Evolution (Awakening) complete. New Blood Demon Art O Ultimate Evolution..."

"One more time, True Demon!"

"Ding... Blood Demon Art O Ultimate Evolution complete. New Blood Demon Art O Ultimate Evolution (Awakening)"

Jiang Jiu really wanted to continue, but she didn't have enough skill points.

His skill points are all used up.

Blood Demon Art O Ultimate Evolution (Awakening): Speed, strength, stamina, reflexes, and dynamic vision are increased ninefold before energy is depleted (Sorry, I don't want to write it too high, it's too outrageous and not interesting).

Jiang Jiu let out a long sigh of relief.

This increase in strength, while not huge, is not insignificant either; it certainly signifies another qualitative leap in his abilities.

Now, even if he abandons the research on the fusion combat technique of "Slaying Fist and Walking Ghost," perhaps only the Spirit King is worthy of being his opponent in this world.

But he didn't give up, and he won't give up. Who doesn't want to become stronger?

With few skill points remaining, he naturally focused on fusing combat skills.

He already had some initial ideas about fusion combat techniques.

The Ghost Path represents spiritual power.

He wasn't good at fighting in broadswords, but he had a lot of experience fighting death and understood what was going on.

The "Bai Da" style of combat emphasizes movement techniques the most, so Jiang Jiu plans to only focus on the movement techniques aspect.

There's no need to elaborate on Instant Step; he possesses three footwork techniques: Instant Step, Spirit Particle Shift, and Sound Spin, so it's impossible for him not to utilize them.

The "Slaying the Dao" technique is naturally the breathing method that Jiang Jiu is most familiar with.

The so-called fusion combat technique is actually based on the Ghost Path, supporting Jiang Jiu's swordsmanship, movement techniques and footwork.

It's easier said than done. Just think how long it took Soi Fon and Yoruichi to master the Instantaneous Release technique.

Moreover, there is another problem: Jiang Jiu is not skilled in the art of ghost cultivation.

To realize the fusion combat technique, his Ghost Path cultivation must at least surpass that of the previous Ghost Path captains.

However, it's simple in some ways.

Because Jiang Jiu possesses a hundred times the talent and comprehension.

He can figure out in a day what others would take a hundred days to understand.

What others can accomplish in a hundred days of practice, he can learn in a single day.

Therefore, his thinking was very clear.

The first step is to go and cause trouble for Ishida Uryu and learn the last footwork technique, the Flying Kick.

Step Two: Spend a month integrating the Resonance Step, Instant Step, Flying Leg Kick, and Spirit Shift into the most perfect footwork.

Step 3: Spend a few more months to fully understand the Ghost Path!

Step 4: Before the end of the year, have all his subordinates attack him. He will dodge the attacks without using footwork, thus completing the free-fighting movement technique.

The fifth and final step: complete the fusion combat technique before the Quincy attack Soul Society.

That will be the moment he storms into the Spirit King's Palace!

Chapter 241 Projection

Empty seats at the general hospital.

Ishida Uryu sat on the edge of a hospital bed, looking at Ishida Ryugen, who had fallen into a coma again, with a complicated expression.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Hey, I've come to see you all." Kurosaki Ichigo, Inoue Orihime, and Chad Yasutora walked in carrying a bag of fruit.

Uryū Ishida was not at all surprised by the arrival of the three of them.

“Long Xian’s condition is a bit strange.” He got straight to the point: “His spiritual power has not been able to recover. He suddenly fell into a coma when he returned and has not shown any signs of waking up since.”

The three were taken aback: "Didn't you faint because your spiritual energy was depleted? How come you can't recover?"

“I don’t know.” Ishida Uryu shook his head. “I can’t find the reason, so I would like to ask you to ask Mr. Urahara to come over.”

Then he looked at Inoue and said, "Why are you here too? Did you have cram school today?"

Orihime Inoue stuck out her tongue: "I skipped class."

After saying this, the group fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Ishida Uryu broke the silence: "What's the situation with your father now?"

"Are you asking me?" Ichigo Kurosaki said, "He's become a stay-at-home dad now, completely oblivious to everything else. He's even stopped taking care of his private hospital, saying he's handed it over to an agent."

“If something were to happen to my father suddenly, I would like to ask your father to come to my hospital to help out,” Ishida Uryu suddenly said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your father will definitely be safe and sound." Kurosaki Ichigo forced a calm laugh and scolded.

Orihime Inoue and Chad Yasutora, who are not good at acting, had worry written all over their faces.

On the other side, Urahara Store.

Kurosaki Isshin is constantly harassing the unknown girl, Qiana, and Xiaoyu.

"Get out of my way, you old pervert, don't block my way of moving goods." Jinta kicked Kurosaki Isshin away: "I really don't know why the store manager agreed to let someone like you be our acting store manager."

Kurosaki Isshin, who was kicked away, didn't mind at all. He just rubbed his butt and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I just want them to be my goddaughters. I am very loyal to my wife."

"Quickly, quickly notify the Soul Society!" Yoruichi suddenly rushed into the shop from a distance.

"The gates of hell have been destroyed, and hellish miasma is now flowing into the mortal world. We can't delay any longer," Yoruichi said anxiously to Kurosaki Isshin.

"What?!" Kurosaki Isshin exclaimed in shock. "Who did this?!"

As he spoke, he immediately activated the device and notified Kisuke Urahara.

After half an hour.

Led by Ushōda Hachigen and Natsuhishi Tessai, the Kidō (demons) arrived in the mortal world and sealed the gates of hell with a barrier.

"Miss Hiyori, Miss Kuna, Miss Lisa, thank you all for blocking the guardians of hell, preventing them from entering the mortal world and causing an even greater tragedy."

Woriya Tetsuzai thanked the three men.

"You're welcome," Lisa said. "Now that you've arrived, our mission is complete, and we'll be leaving."

“Okay,” said Woling Tiezhai. “Thank you again for stepping forward.”

Soul Society...

Yamamoto Genryusai roared in fury: "Who is it now? Who is causing trouble again? Can't we just let Soul Society have some peace and quiet for a while?!"

"Grandpa, don't be angry," Kyoraku advised. "The Ghost Path Clan is already repairing the Gates of Hell. It will be fixed soon, in two days at most."

"If you don't calm down, we're going to be roasted into dried meat by Ryujin Jakka."

Yamamoto suppressed his anger: "Investigate! Find out exactly what happened and bring Kushanata here!"

Kyoraku pulled down his hat brim: "Old man, he didn't even show up when the gates of hell were destroyed. Do you think he could still be alive?"
