The only player in the world of Bleach

What is he doing?

Only Yoruichi Shihouin's eyes lit up slightly at this moment, and she couldn't help but whisper something.

"Dual chanting...?!"

020: Exhausted...

Double chanting.

As the name suggests, it involves mixing two different demonic paths and using a special technique of chanting in a simple and rough manner to apply the two different demonic paths in a short period of time.

Sounds simple?

But that's not the case...

To achieve this level, the first thing is to have an extremely deep understanding of the two corresponding demonic paths.

What effects will the chanted incantation have? What consequences will ignoring or reducing this part have? These things must be clearly understood before the corresponding release can be performed.

The two ghost paths resembled an uneven key and lock.

The two sides, which are initially misaligned, must be completely 'fitted' together in order to fully propel the spiritual energy, allowing it to condense and take shape along a predetermined path, thus influencing the outside world!

Without a doubt, this is by no means an easy task.

In the original work, Rukia Kuchiki used a similar tactic when she fought against the Arrancar in Hueco Mundo.

Keep in mind that by then, Rukia already possessed the power to use Bankai...

While this might indeed be considered 'flashy' in a certain sense for someone at the captain level.

But what about a normal spirit, or an ordinary Grim Reaper? Even more so…

This is just a student at the True Central Academy of Spiritual Arts.

This means...

From the time he came into contact with the Ghost Path until now, the time he has been studying the Ghost Path is probably only a few years.

what is this?

Even Yoruichi Shihouin, after several moments of choking back tears, finally couldn't help but utter two short syllables.

"……genius?"

So how is this genius doing now?

—Life is worse than death!

In fact, Matsushita Yusuke could clearly feel an unusually strong sense of separation at this moment.

The compatibility between the two different chants, the Breaking Path and the Binding Path, was not as high as he had imagined.

Logically speaking, when only one power should be used, he forcibly used both, choosing to combine two demonic arts...

The result is that neither of them can be 'controlled' well.

Yusuke Matsushita felt as if he were riding two fierce and untamed horses.

They were harnessed, bitten, and death rode on their backs. Yet even so, these wild horses continued to thrash and struggle!

Yusuke Matsushita felt like his brain was about to be split in two.

Under this intense tearing sensation, he seemed to become somewhat ruthless.

Damn it, if I can use Rukia Kuchiki, why can't I? Today I'm going to take you both down!

Bang! ! !

As the spiritual pressure was further compressed, it burst forth.

Visible ripples appeared on Yusuke Matsushita's body... The air began to sway back and forth like ocean waves, drawing everyone's attention.

At this moment, Yusuke Matsushita was undoubtedly the focus of the entire event!

Can he do it?

Do you even need to ask?!

He narrowed his eyes and raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers side by side, as if he were using all his strength to shout!

"Upon reading, burn it completely!"

Binding Spell Number Nine: Strike!

A burst of crimson flames shot out, streaking through the air before crashing down upon the distant monster.

Compared to other binding techniques, this beam of light was not only more concentrated but also possessed extremely strong resilience. It bound the two ethereal hands and feet, instantly causing both to lose their balance.

bump……

The sound of him falling to the ground in a disheveled state was like an inspiring bugle call to arms.

"They're down! Charge! Take them down!"

The anxious person shouted, but after only two words, he was slapped across the face by an older student.

"Don't cause trouble! The Ghost Path isn't over yet!"

Yes.

The spiritual pressure surging around Matsushita Yusuke showed no signs of dissipating; instead, it seemed to be boiling magma, intensifying even further.

Cold sweat trickled down my face, and my heart pounded like a drum.

Everything was telling of his physical discomfort, and it also foreshadowed that if this continued... Matsushita Yusuke would inevitably suffer some kind of 'backlash'.

But it's too late now.

How could we possibly retreat?!

"All things, soaring high, bearing the name of humankind... Truth and temperance, standing only as claws on the walls of dreams unaware of sin!"

After a long string of incantations, unparalleled light and heat emanated from Matsushita Yusuke's palm.

Without the slightest hesitation, he cast his gaze toward the two menacing figures slowly rising in the distance.

Right now.

With the loudest roar, he shouted out the name of this move at this moment.

"Hado #33: Azure Flame Fall!"

call……

For a fleeting moment, the air seemed to reverse.

But it was only for a moment, more like a dazed or absent-minded state.

Because in the next pause, a burst of light and heat pierced through everything!

The crimson flames resembled two giant dragons coiling together, biting each other, rising, and tumbling with a force that drew attention, rushing straight toward the distance.

All the students witnessed this, and then...

Like a comet crashing into the Earth.

bump!!!

The burst of light and heat erupted in an instant, engulfing everything around it.

Several unfortunate individuals who were closer didn't even have time to scream before they were sent flying backwards...

When he hurriedly stood up, even his eyebrows had been burned to charcoal.

Fortunately, he survived.

But what about the actual scene?

Everyone stared in disbelief at the concave crater about ten meters in diameter not far away.

Breaking the path...

As the name suggests, this is a kind of demonic path originally intended for destruction.

Everyone knows that its power is immense and its influence is unparalleled.

Even so, many people still misjudged the power of this thing...

"Is this just the number thirty-three bastard?"

"I've seen instructors use it before, but the power... the power shouldn't be this great, right?"

"Hey! Stop chatting! Look at that Matsushita guy!"

Not far away, a figure standing on the ground still held its right hand outstretched, slapping forward.

His palms, fingertips, and even his arms still retained scalding spiritual energy.

However, none of this light and heat intended to harm him; at this moment, they merely dissipated like embers, serving a slightly decorative purpose on him.

Snapped……

The strip of cloth used to bind the long hair was scorched by the scalding sparks and snapped in the middle.

Matsushita Yusuke's long hair flowed freely, forming an absolute "do not disturb" stance with his serious and earnest expression.

Without a doubt, this is absolutely handsome.

But the next moment...

The person in question rolled their eyes back and fell flat on their back.

—I'm exhausted!

021: Reaching the Summit

When Matsushita Yusuke opened his eyes again...

What met my eyes was a completely unfamiliar ceiling...

He was exhausted and groaned listlessly. His head turned to the side instinctively, and his eyes squinted slightly.

Just a moment, just a moment...

Let me gather my thoughts.

He slowly sat up, gently stroking his forehead with his right hand, pressing it as he murmured to himself for a while, as if deep in thought.

I am……

'I participated in the internship at Death's Work...'

Then?

'During the operation, they encountered a phantom.'

And then...

'To prevent mass casualties, I took the initiative and used a double incantation?'

Right, I've figured it out.

Matsushita Yusuke's eyes cleared, and at that moment he couldn't help but let out a soft "Oh".

He must have fainted from exhaustion—extremely depleting spiritual energy in a short period of time, or using some immature techniques that put a great strain on the body, would trigger a similar physiological protective mechanism.

It's the same principle as when a person doesn't sleep for too long and then passes out.

Spiritual energy, as the energy of the soul, is also one of the energies of death, and this theory and rule also apply.

My memories before coming here are quite clear, but... what about after that?

What happened next?

Where am I now?

Looking around, what comes into view is a very simple room.

The off-white wall paint gives it a somewhat modern look, along with the iron bed, counter, and iron bathroom door...

Compared to the Spiritual Arts Academy, where everything is made of wood, this place felt more familiar to Matsushita Yusuke.

It feels like I've returned to the modern era...

As his thoughts raced, Yusuke Matsushita heard footsteps approaching from outside the door.

He instinctively turned his head and saw a figure push the door open and enter.
