Xia Li was startled, then looked at the woman in palace dress and asked, "Further development? Bankai? Shouldn't they let me get familiar with Shikai first, and then activate Bankai?"
Xia Li remembered that the teacher in the sword-killing class said that Bankai was very difficult, and much more difficult than the initial solution.
“Because I don’t think the Sword Master needs a familiarization process.” said the woman in palace dress.
"Well, that's true." Xia Li was not polite about this, and then suddenly realized something and said, "Just call me Xia Li. It's a bit embarrassing to keep calling me Lord Sword Master."
The woman in palace dress did not speak, but just stared at Xia Li, and then said, "Master Sword Master, this matter is not about fighting, right? So I should be able to have my own will."
Xia Li was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile and nodded.
"Since you like it, then let's do it this way."
After saying this, the woman in palace dress also revealed a hint of a smile, and continued, "In fact, the Sword Master can use his Bankai right now, but please forgive me for wanting to fight with you just this once."
As she spoke, the woman in palace dress also had a sword in her hand that was exactly the same as the one in Xia Li's hand.
Xia Li was stunned. Is he now qualified to use Bankai?
So what exactly are the requirements for Bankai?
Xia Li didn't know that Bankai itself was to allow the Zanpakutō's true form to materialize and make the Zanpakutō submit.
Materialization is easy to understand. Xia Li's spiritual power is too strong and the magnitude is also very large. After his spiritual power has been cleansed over the past few days, his Zanpakutō can be materialized after activating the Shikai.
As for making the Zanpakutō surrender, what Xia Li did before he activated his Shikai, and what made the woman in palace dress call him "Sword Master" wholeheartedly, he had already succeeded.
Perhaps, Xia Li is the only one who has completed the conditions for Bankai before activating Shikai.
"Since this is a battle to activate Bankai, there is nothing wrong with using swords this time. There is no need to apologize." Although Xia Li was a little puzzled, since the woman in palace dress had already said so, he just continued.
The woman in palace dress smiled when she heard that, and she quickly changed her palace dress into a tight outfit that highlighted her figure to the fullest, unlike her previous clothes which were restrictive.
The woman in palace dress grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and Xia Li did the same.
The two looked at each other, and the next moment, the two figures disappeared at the same time.
"boom!"
Xia Li and Ming Jing Zhi Shui, the name of the woman in palace dress, saw their swords colliding with each other.
At this moment, Xia Li did not think of using ghost methods or instant steps, and even sealed up the extra spiritual power he had over the opponent. He just used the same power as the opponent to compete.
You used a knife and I used a sword, and we fought back and forth for dozens of rounds.
Ming Jing Shisui sensed Xia Li's thoughts at the first moment of the battle, and had no intention of objecting to it at all. He competed with Xia Li with a smile.
However, in terms of basic skills, Xia Li is no weaker than anyone else.
In this competition based on basic swordsmanship, Xia Li had an absolute advantage.
Soon, the sword in Mingjing Shishui's hand was knocked away by Xia Li, and Xia Li also placed the sword on the opponent's neck.
"Sure enough, I lost, Master Sword Master." Ming Jing Zhishui smiled bitterly. She thought that in such an absolutely fair battle, she might be able to gain a slight advantage, but it turned out that she thought too much.
Just when Meijing Shisui was about to hand over the real Bankai to Xia Li, Xia Li said, "No hurry, continue."
Ming Jing Zhi Shui was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Li and understood. Did the Sword Master want her to be his sparring partner?
This seems to be a good idea, to be able to witness and accompany the growth of the Sword Master.
Ming Jing Shisui took back his knife and looked at Xia Li.
"Be careful." Xia Li also gave a rare reminder. Holding the hilt of the knife with one hand, a scene that was hard to forget even after so many years emerged in his mind.
In the past, it was difficult for him to imitate this move, or when he was able to use this move, he no longer needed to use it deliberately, but now, perhaps it is the right time.
Xia Li took a deep breath, and then in an instant, his figure disappeared from Ming Jing Zhi Shui's sight. It was a visual illusion at an extremely fast speed.
Then, it was as if a thunder sounded in Ming Jing Zhi Shui's ears, and she had to block it with her sword in front of her.
"boom!"
The next moment, a broken sword was seen spinning in the sky, slowly falling down and sticking into the ground.
Xia Li was already standing in front of Ming Jing Zhi Shui, with his knife on Ming Jing Zhi Shui's neck. Looking at the intact sword in Xia Li's hand, it was obviously the same sword, but the results were completely different.
"Master Sword Master, what is this?" Ming Jing Zhi Shui asked. She could feel that Xia Li did not actually use a power greater than hers, but... she just couldn't see clearly, nor could she understand, so she couldn't cut it off.
"Type 1 - Thunderbolt Flash." Xia Li replied. He was too lazy to change the name. Although it was not Thunder Breathing, the principle was similar.
Thanks to the characteristics of instant movement, this swift slash is hard to defend against.
Due to the different characteristics of spiritual power and chakra, even if the chakra is concentrated in the feet, it will increase the speed of the user, but not to this great extent.
So even though Xia Li knew this move a long time ago, he didn't have a good way to use it. By the time he found a way, Flying Thunder God was already there... and there was no need to practice this move.
The nature of spiritual power is a bit more violent than chakra, and since Xia Li himself is also a soul body, most of it is made up of spiritual power, so instant step can make Xia Li's speed reach the maximum in an instant to achieve the effect of a thunderbolt slash.
Moreover, Xia Li felt that the use of Flash Step was definitely not just about speed, it also had many special uses.
For example, Xia Li occasionally thought of using instant movement while fighting with Lianci. While using instant movement, he used his own spiritual power to temporarily construct a shadow of himself in the original place to confuse the opponent.
Therefore, there is not only one way to use it. Those teachers only teach the most basic part, and building his own instant step based on it is what Xia Li should do.
"I lost, Master Sword Master." Ming Jing Zhishui said this, and then her body turned into a ray of light and poured into Xia Li's sword.
At this time, in the dormitory, Xia Li also opened his eyes.
The Shikai has been completed, and at this moment, the Bankai has also been activated!
Chapter 419 Xia Li feels the pressure
In the dormitory, Xia Li looked at his Zanpakuto curiously.
According to the teacher in the Zanpakutō class, after the Shikai, the Zanpakutō will change back into its original form, and will only change its appearance again the next time the Shikai is used.
However, Xia Li is not using the Shikai now, and Mingjing Shisui's appearance still maintains the familiar look of Xia Li.
Moreover, Ming Jing Zhi Shui showed no sign of changing back.
"So, it turns out that the abilities of the teachers at the Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy are limited. There are many situations that even they themselves probably don't understand." Xia Li sighed, but this is indeed a good place for Xia Li to practice.
Xia Li had also learned about the Gotei 13, and he concluded that he did not want to join the Gotei 13 so soon.
Because joining the Gotei 13 means having a "job", and the work of each squad is different.
For example, the most famous 11th Division is the combat division, responsible for fighting against Hollows in Soul Society.
There is also a 4th division which seems to be a logistics division, responsible for some logistical and medical matters, and generally does not fight with Hollows.
And Shiba Mizu, who had previously buried Xia Li's soul in Soul Society, should be a member of Squad 13. The job of Squad 13 is to clean out the hollows in the real world and guide souls into Soul Society.
Xia Li said that there was no benefit in graduating early, and perhaps he could quickly obtain the later ghost path.
The most you can learn in the Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy is intermediate ghost arts. As for advanced ghost arts...I guess the teachers can't use them, so they can't teach them.
However, these did not have much use for Xia Li. The ghost way was there, and it did not matter whether he learned it earlier or later. His biggest task now was to improve his control over spiritual power to the point where he could fully control all of his spiritual power.
Xia Li could feel that no matter whether it was ghost art or slashing technique, the most fundamental thing was spiritual pressure. The strength of the spiritual pressure represented the power of your ghost art and the strength of your slashing attack. Even the health bar of the soul body was probably linked to the spiritual pressure.
As for cultivating spiritual pressure, Xia Li does not need to go to the 13th Division. He can just practice quietly in the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy.
Xia Li was not afraid of being exposed, but there was no need to do so. It would do Xia Li no good to rush in headfirst.
Therefore, Xia Li looked at his Zanpakutō and decided not to expose either his Shikai or Bankai. If he exposed his Shikai, he might be able to stay in the Shinō Academy and practice peacefully. However, if he exposed his Bankai, Xia Li would probably be defeated and graduate, and join the Thirteenth Division.
And he is not just an ordinary chief officer, but at least a deputy captain level. Even if a captain doesn't want to do his job anymore one day, Xia Li can be directly asked to take his place. This is how rare and precious Bankai is.
Xia Li didn't think any more at this time. He gripped the hilt of the knife, slowly closed his eyes, and slowly entered a state of calmness and stillness.
Soon, Xia Li opened his eyes, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Since Xia Li did not have time to get to know Ming Jing Shisui better after calling out his real name, there were some abilities that Xia Li did not know about.
And now after careful experience, he found that entering the state of clear mirror and still water was of great help to Xia Li's cultivation, at least his control ability was directly improved to a higher level.
Although I didn't fully master it after withdrawing from Ming Jing Zhi Shui, now that I know the feeling, it becomes much easier to further master it.
As for Xia Li's Zanpakutō's Bankai.
Xia Li's eyes also showed a look of realization. No wonder he always felt that Ming Jing Zhishui was a little weak when fighting with him.
It turns out that the problem occurred here.
Bankai-complete severance.
When one's mind sees through it, there is no escape and no avoidance, it must be cut off absolutely.
This is the power of Bankai, absolute severance, which can be said to be a rule-based ability.
It seems to have nothing to do with the Zanpakutō's Shikai, but the prerequisite for Absolute Severance is that you need to see through the opponent's ability before you can initiate Absolute Severance. If you can't see through it, you can only make your Zanpakutō a little sharper...
Ming Jing Shisui had always wanted to see through Xia Li in the previous battles, but Xia Li was not so easy to be seen through, so Ming Jing Shisui was unable to fully exert her abilities and was defeated by Xia Li.
"It seems a bit useless." Xia Li murmured. With his spiritual pressure, who can't he cut directly? Does he need this ability to add it? It feels a little more troublesome...
Fortunately, Xia Li's Bankai still gathers all the power into himself, which is in line with Xia Li's idea.
It doesn't matter whether the Zanpakutō's Shikai and Bankai are powerful or not, what matters is that you yourself are strong enough.
If Mingjing Zhishui is given to others, it may not be a good ability, and it may not even increase the combat power much, because it is only an auxiliary ability. If the sword master himself is not strong enough, then this ability will be useless.
As for absolute severance? Rule-based abilities?
It just sounds very strong.
Even Xia Li felt that it was a bit useless. If someone was weaker, he could just kill them. If he really encountered a strong opponent, it would not be easy to see through him...
It was just like his battle with Ming Jing Zhi Shui, Ming Jing Zhi Shui was never able to see through him from beginning to end.
Xia Li was thinking that his Zanpakutō's Shikai and Bankai almost concentrated the power on himself, so the method of training the power of his Zanpakutō like others might not be suitable for him.
All Xia Li needs to do is improve his spiritual pressure and... create a more perfect sword shape.
The sword-type technical ability may not have much impact on other Zanpakuto, but it is perfect for Xia Li, who has a collection of abilities.
However, how easy is it to create a perfect sword shape?
"The first form - Thunderbolt Flash, can also be considered as the starting move." Xia Li murmured.
At this moment, Xia Li was also thinking about his previous "swordsmanship", which basically wouldn't work here. After all, those were actually created based on chakra, a combination of ninjutsu and swordsmanship.
Now Xia Li has no chakra, but spiritual power, which he naturally cannot use directly.
Xia Li was clear about the principles of those sword techniques, so if he encountered a suitable ghost technique in the future, he might be able to integrate it into it to form a new sword technique.
