Bleach: From Rugum to Thousand-Year Captain

Tianyue Quezhai's face darkened upon hearing this.

This mastery and control over spirit particle techniques is something that ordinary spiritual practitioners cannot acquire through mere learning. With such proficiency in spirit particle control, Kirinji Tenjiro could practically learn and master all forms of Hado and Kido in a short period of time.

It's important to understand that returning to the Dao is actually more difficult than breaking the Dao or the Ghost Dao. Think about it: destruction is always easier than creation, and destruction is easier than repair. The same principle applies to returning to the Dao.

With his current level of Dao Returning to the 60th level of Ghost Dao, Tianyue Quezhai can learn it quickly; anything higher would require years of intensive practice. However, Tianyue Quezhai has cheat codes he can use, and using these cheat codes to accumulate experience is more cost-effective.

With Kirinji Tenjiro's ability to create various styles of arcades so quickly, he would probably be promoted to the Zero Division very quickly if he joined the Shinigami.

However, Tianyue Quezhai didn't elaborate, letting things take their natural course. There was no need to worry, nor could he; what was meant to happen would happen.

After taking a bath, and seeing off by the deadpan gaze of Qilin Temple, Tengetsu Quezhai returned to his residence.

Iwabuchi Ichiki rushed to Tengetsu Sukusai's side and hurriedly served him.

"Boss Tianyue, are you alright? That boss...?"

"It's alright, I just made a friend. Please don't cause trouble at the hot spring in the future, okay? This is for your own good."

"Yes!!!"

Walking along the streets of Rukongai, one still sees many wandering spirits arguing, fighting, and causing a ruckus; they are mostly restless, newly born souls.

Their fate was the same: if a samurai saw them, he would cut them down and turn them into human pigs.

Similar things happen every day, every moment. Tianyue Quezhai is used to it. Sometimes, when he gets annoyed by the noise of these idiots, he draws his sword and joins the killing frenzy himself.

Filth and depravity coexist; Rukongai is full of filthy and disgusting things. There was a moment when Tengetsu Sussai really wanted to massacre Rukongai.

Compared to the wandering spirits, the villagers who settled in remote areas and farmed the land were the most basic foundation for the production and supply of materials, which delayed many of the conflicts and contradictions caused by the wandering spirits fighting over resources.

Thousands of wandering souls are born in District 93 every day, and large numbers of wandering souls also die. Here, life and death are the most common things.

Tengetsu Sussai, who had killed many people in Rukongai, returned to his mansion and took off his blood-soaked substitute spirit robe, throwing it on the ground. He figured he couldn't keep such a smelly garment; after all, substitute spirit robes were cheap, and he could change them every day without a problem.

"Well, forget it. If I have no other way to pass the time, I'll just start playing a mobile game and play some levels. It's too boring."

......

Continue the challenge in Chapter 16

Tianyue Quezhai infiltrated the mind and entered the interface of the Bleach mobile game.

He checked his own attributes;

All other attributes were correct except for the level, which he didn't know if it was a system bug or something else. However, in terms of spiritual pressure, with so many miscellaneous cards and Yamada Hanatarou cards stacked on top of each other, it was safe to say he had the spiritual pressure of a vice-captain.

Furthermore, having mastered Shikai, he now possessed the strength of a vice-captain. However, Amatsuki Susuzai was still dissatisfied with himself. Looking back, he realized that his attack on Kirinji had been too focused on the immediate situation, and there were many details in the battle that he had overlooked.

Firstly, his attacks were ineffective against Kirinji's defenses, posing no threat whatsoever. His only successful strike relied on the power accumulated through Hijiki's abilities.

The Instant Step is terribly bad; it can only move you seven or eight meters before you can't move anymore. The low-level Kido is decent, but completely useless in combat. Under that level of intense melee combat, using Kido will only result in being killed prematurely.

It goes without saying that a fight would be completely impossible.

Tianyue Quezhai still has a good understanding of his own strength; it is still too weak.

Awakening Stones and experience points were pitifully scarce; even adding them to Yamada Hanatarou wouldn't raise him a single level. Amatsuki Susuzai skipped the attribute system and prepared to immediately begin clearing stage 12.

With Yamada Hanatarou in the main lineup and Amaterasu Susuzai in the secondary lineup, and Gorilla Hollow, Octopus Hollow, regular Arrancar, and Crab Hollow filling the six slots, the lineup is full. As for the Hidden Mobility card, it's weaker than the N-rank Octopus Hollow, so it's not even worth using.

The guardians of level 13 are still illusions, but their numbers have increased.

With Yamada Hanatarou, himself, and ordinary Arrancar present, the sheer number of low-level Hollows could not possibly stop his advance.

Level 13 cleared. Rewards: 20 Awakening Stones, 20 Experience Points, and 1 Normal Ticket.

The fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth stages were also passed smoothly. Tengetsu Sussai could basically just leave the Kido in the back. With his teammate Yamada Hanatarou tanking in front of the main force, it couldn't be easier.

Hanataro Yamada said: So love can disappear, right?

The twentieth stage marks the start of the mini-boss level. Tenzuki Sukusai is on high alert, placing the regular Arrancar in the front line to tank damage, switching positions with Yamada Hanatarou, the healer.

Make the steel armor of the regular broken face withstand more damage, thus increasing the chances of clearing the level.

Tengetsu Quezhai observed his surroundings and above, but there was nothing there. The six figures remained standing on the eternal battlefield of Twin Phantom Hill.

Suddenly! A violent and intense spiritual pressure descended upon them at incredible speed! A deafening boom was followed by a piercing scream!

The sky has been torn apart!!!

The black light was like a drop of ink soaking into the water. In that instant, the darkness converged into a line, which turned into a gaping black maw and was completely torn apart, dazzling yet terrifying!

That was when the black cavity was opened, and the mini-boss appeared before him.

Tianyue Quezhai immediately recognized the shape, which was impossible to mistake.

Lower-ranking Hollow King!

Lower-level Hollows, Gillian, are formed by the mutual devouring of over 100 extremely hungry Hollows. The spiritual pressure generated by these numerous Hollows consuming their own kind merges together. They possess immense spiritual pressure but low intelligence, and can be controlled by mid-level Hollows, Adjuchas.

Most lower-ranking Hollows share the same appearance.

The body is long and black, with the black parts consisting of a cloak-like garment resembling that of a witch.

Wearing a long nose and white mask like a clown, the core of his power lies within the bone mask.

It can release Cero that requires a long time to condense.

As this Hollow tore through the sky and arrived at Twin Peaks Hill, it opened its massive maw and began to gather terrifying red energy.

Tengetsu Sukusai was already used to the BOSS unleashing his ultimate attack upon meeting him, so he quickly released his Zanpakuto.

"Please, hand over, God!" Tengetsu Sukusai's spiritual pressure increased exponentially and quickly condensed around the Zanpakuto.

Although the lower-level Hollows in the anime were just training grounds for Ichigo Kurosaki, easily defeated with a single Getsuga Tenshou, their actual strength requires Shinigami at the vice-captain level or higher to handle. Lower-level Hollows like Killian are comparable to vice-captains, mid-level Hollows like Adjuchas are comparable to ordinary captains, and high-level Hollows like Vasto Lordes are comparable to super captains or even century-old captains.

Now, with this lower-level Hollow Grimm Gillian, Tengetsu Sussai felt that it was hard to say whether he could easily defeat it in a one-on-one fight. This Hollow Grimm was at least 50 meters tall, as tall as a building, and in Tengetsu Sussai's eyes, it gave him a sense of déjà vu, like a human facing Godzilla.

The deep red to black Cero continued to gather power in front of Killian's mouth, and the air around it began to distort and hiss. Tenzuki Sussai had no doubt that if he were to be hit head-on by a Cero, he would be instantly vaporized.

We must interrupt it, attack first!!!

Tengetsu Quesai quickly dispersed from the six-person formation to avoid being wiped out by a single Cero. He raised his arm and loudly chanted the incantation of the Kido.

[You who reign supreme, mask of flesh and blood, all things, soaring high, those bearing the name of humanity! Scorching heat and chaos, rising southward across the sea, marching forward!]

[Hado #31; Red Fire Cannon!]

The fully chanted Hado 31 Red Fire Cannon condensed before Tengetsu Sukusai's raised palm, quickly transforming into a fireball that shot towards the skeleton mask of the lower-level Hollowfied Gillian.

An inexperienced person would likely try to hit Cero with the Crimson Cannon. But that would be the most foolish decision; the energy of his Crimson Cannon is nowhere near that of Cero, let alone capable of destroying it. The only way to weaken Cero is to use a base-stealing tactic to shatter the Bone Mask, then his minions can swarm and overwhelm it.

This fully chanted 31st Hado technique drained one-fifth of his spiritual pressure.

However, the result was effective. A violent explosion erupted from the right cheek of the lower-level Hollow Grilian, breaking the balance of his massive and bloated body. The dark red light of the Cero forcibly shrank and slowly disappeared.

"Is it that simple?" As Tengetsu Sussai was observing intently, he saw the dark red holographic light suddenly condense and shrink, then violently expand into a beam of light five meters in diameter, instantly arriving in front of Yamada Hanatarou and the Arrancar.

Hanataro Yamada's figure was completely engulfed by the dark red Cero, which continued its momentum and plowed a deep trench in the ground of Sogyoku Hill behind Hanataro Yamada!

As the Cero faded, Tengetsu Sussai could only see Yamada Hanatarou's feet and his Zanpakuto lying on the ground. His body had been completely vaporized and vanished by the Cero.

It wasn't just Yamada Hanatarou who died in battle! The ordinary Arrancar in the main force, although not directly vaporized, were also teetering on the brink of collapse, their faces shattered and unable to stand up.

The few Hollow minions instinctively dodged the Cero and weren't killed by the attack, but Tengetsu no Sukizawa certainly wouldn't count on them.

Lower-level Hollows like Gillian are indeed a bit troublesome!

After the first wave of Gillian Cero, Tenzuki Sukusai didn't believe he could continuously unleash Cero without accumulating energy. Lower-level Hollows Gillian have very few attack methods, besides Cero, they mainly rely on biting and stomping.

Clearly, it's his turn to reap the rewards!

Tengetsu Quezai leaped high into the air, using spiritual energy to pave a path as he ran towards the sky. The 50-meter distance was quickly covered by his full-force sprint, reaching the top of the Great Hollow's head.

He raised Shen Di and poured all his spiritual pressure into Shen Di. The silver-white spiritual pressure around Tian Yue Que Zhai exploded and transformed into wave after wave of spiritual particle vortexes.

Following its instincts, Killian sensed a powerful surge of spiritual pressure emanating from a creature above its head and immediately turned to bite.

The lower-level Hollow Gillian's bite instantly engulfed Amaterasu Susume, but at the same time, his own bone mask, along with his head, was split in two. The Gillian let out a painful, powerful roar and slowly collapsed.

Level 20 cleared!

Tengetsu Sukusai let out a slow sigh of relief. Compared to a direct fight, he seemed even less confident of winning against a pure energy attack, and the pressure felt immense. He had considered using the power of the gourd to absorb the Cero, but he felt that he would most likely be swallowed up by the Cero before reaching the absorption limit.

Unfortunately, the gourd-shaped energy ball requires a certain amount of time to recharge. It has no chance to accumulate and rebound energy in the face of a sudden, instantaneous burst.

Fortunately, I passed the level!

"It seems that the bosses that appear every ten levels are not easy to defeat. I hope I don't get stuck." In addition to the countless Awakening Stone experience points he has gained since the twelfth level, he has also accumulated 11 ordinary tickets and 1 gold ticket.

"Draw cards! Give me the best!!! Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Three Pure Ones, Buddha, and the Spirit King, bless me, give me the best!!!"

Tianyue Quezhai couldn't wait to draw a card, and the Hell Butterfly instantly transformed into a card and appeared in front of him.

[R-rank Male Reaper] x3, [R-rank Reaper Researcher] x2, [R-rank Quadruped Hollow], [Flesh Supplement], [R-rank Frog Hollow], [R-rank Skinny Arrancar], [N-rank Quadruped Hollow]

【R-card Slim Rogue】; Skill: Spiritual Pressure Slash.

I still didn't get anything good from the regular draws, and the pity pull only gave me the R-rank card, Skinny Rascal. I knew Skinny Rascal had the Super Regeneration skill, but I didn't expect to get its other skill instead. I couldn't be more unlucky.
