Who are you calling a stable boy?!

Zheng Jing never refuses a challenge when facing these guys.

His only response was to fight.

Why waste your breath on someone like that?

If he has to waste his breath talking to this kind of person, then all his skills have been wasted.

The True Spiritual Arts Academy is essentially a talent training institution established to provide fresh blood for the Gotei 13.

This also explains why the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy has a strong martial spirit.

If there are any conflicts between students, they can report them to the academic affairs office and find an empty dojo to fight to resolve the conflict. This is not uncommon at the Shin-O Spirit Arts Academy.

However, none of the teachers in the academy probably expected that Zheng Jing's attack would stir up a bloody storm in the academy for nearly a week.

During this week, Aizen calculated that Zheng Jingping would send about two and a half people to the Fourth Division every day.

Why not the school clinic?

Because the school clinic might not be able to save him.

In the end, the academy intervened and issued a strict order prohibiting any student from challenging Zheng Jing.

"Tch, to put it bluntly, isn't it just about protecting the faces of those good-for-nothings?"

Half of his body was lying on Zheng Jing's lap, and Ye Yi, drenched in sweat, curled his lip and said with a look of disdain.

"what?"

Zheng Jing, who was sitting cross-legged, scratched his cheek and turned to look at Aizen.

“Old Zheng, you never show any mercy to them. After that week, there are probably very few people in the college who dare to challenge you anymore. The ban issued by the college is actually giving those scions of prestigious families and senior students a way out.”

Setting down his book, Aizen smiled and explained to Zheng Jing.

Zheng Jing, who was looking at his own panel, suddenly rolled his eyes.

"Hiss... The water temperature is too high, isn't it?"

He genuinely welcomes people who challenge him through legitimate means.

Otherwise, with all these new things he's learned and his head full of outrageous tricks, who would he be showing them off to?

In nearly a month, Zheng Jing had mastered the four basic techniques of the academy's "Slaying Fist and Walking Ghost" and the basic meditation technique, which he wondered if it was due to Aizen's guidance that it possessed extraordinary qualities, and had reached the pinnacle of his cultivation.

The most direct benefit of mastering these five attributes was that his agility attribute increased to 16 and his perception attribute increased to 18.

The enhancement in his perception made his internal energy more profound and powerful!

Zheng Jing did not neglect his spiritual practice after returning to the Dao.

During the week, Retsu Unohana would set aside three days: one day for her elective course and the other two days for the academy's weekend. Zheng Jing could seek her guidance and advice on these three days.

Zheng Jing naturally seized every minute and second, and each time he would study with Unohana Retsu until nightfall.

Just yesterday, Zheng Jing successfully completed his Daoist cultivation to the highest level.

With over a thousand years of accumulation in the Soul Society, plus Retsu Unohana's own insights, Zheng Jing's mastery of the Return Path is considered top-tier among extraordinary techniques, almost reaching the threshold of the Purple Legendary level.

Whether it can bring someone back to life is another matter, but the ability to heal flesh and bone in the blink of an eye is truly without any problem.

It can be said that what is considered a vital part of the human body in common sense is hardly a vital part for Zheng Jing today.

"Water temperature?"

Hearing Zheng Jing mutter, Yoruichi raised her eyelids and glanced at Zheng Jing with a lazy expression.

"Hakiye, have you rested enough? Get up quickly, you're all sweaty and sticky."

Zheng Jing reached out and poked Yoruichi's shoulder.

"Didn't you cause this?"

"Is it that you absolutely insist on fighting?"

He shook his head.

"Knowing you're no match, you still have to exhale, Hagiwara, you bastard..."

I can't be bothered with you.

Yoruichi closed her eyes and turned over.

Zheng Jingyi glared.

"Hey? Want to take a nap here?"

Yoruichi remained silent, only twitching her ears.

"Old Lan, look at her!"

"Although Shihōin is physically strong, she still can't compare to your boundless energy, Mr. Zheng. Let her rest."

Aizen adjusted his glasses.

“Perfect timing, we can talk about other things too.”

He looked at Zheng Jing, his expression becoming more solemn.

"Old Zheng...you're all ready, aren't you?"

Chapter 79: The Sun and the Moon

The preparations I'm referring to are, of course, preparations for graduation.

The old man gave Zheng Jing a two-year deadline.

But Zheng Jing gave himself only two months.

the reason is simple.

First, considering the difference in the flow of time between the two sides, two months can be considered a relatively tight timeframe, allowing Zheng Jing to make a trip back at the right time.

Secondly, Zheng Jing heard Yoruichi say that some of the young elites from the First Division are sometimes dispatched to the Human World to support the Thirteenth Division. This serves two purposes: firstly, it effectively alleviates the Thirteenth Division's frequent manpower shortages as a purification squad; secondly, it provides a relatively safe way for the young elites to gain experience in fighting Hollows.

Hey! Isn't this an opportunity?

Once he joins the First Division, if we can find a way to get the old man to send him to the mortal world, even if he suddenly disappears for a few days, it might not attract any attention...

Moreover, it's not that Zheng Jing is arrogant; after a month of working together with Lao Lan, he has indeed come up with something.

Nowadays, even the elective courses at the True Spiritual Arts Academy, designed for senior students, can no longer teach him anything new.

Aside from sparring with Yoruichi and Aizen, Zheng Jing only gains new insights when powerful figures like Tessai and Retsu Unohana come to teach at the academy.

But without exception, these powerful individuals all hold important positions in the Seireitei, so how could they possibly come to the academy to teach every day?

Zheng Jingneng met with Mao Zhihua Lie three times a week and received one-on-one guidance from her three times a week. This was a privilege that even students from many prestigious families could only dream of.

In conclusion, the decision to apply for the graduation test in just one month was indeed a result of careful consideration by Zheng Jing.

"I can't think of anything I'm missing."

Zheng Jing looked towards Lan Ran.

"Old Lan, do you have any brilliant ideas?"

Aizen gently shook his head.

"Old Zheng, you haven't forgotten the evaluation standards that the captain set for you, have you?"

"How could I forget!"

The verbal message brought by the deputy captain of the Sparrow Division also specified the standards that the old man had set for Zheng Jing's graduation assessment.

Gain the approval of a team captain.

To be more specific, the old man will send a captain to be the examiner and conduct a practical test on Zheng Jing. As long as Zheng Jing can gain the captain's approval in this practical test, he will pass the test.

"I've been making inquiries these past few days. Of the thirteen current captains in the court, each has their own duties, and only about three of them have had the time to come and serve as your examiners during this period."

Aizen raised a finger.

"Captain Unohana of the Fourth Division, Captain Hirako of the Fifth Division, and Kenpachi Kuruyashiki of the Eleventh Division."

"Captain Unohana goes without saying, Lao Zheng, you know her better than I do."

"Although the Fifth Division is a rescue team, it is said that Captain Hirako himself is a true martial arts fighter, and he may not be easy to deal with."

"As for Kenpachi Kuruyashiki of the Eleventh Division, his strength as the commander of the Eleventh Division, a dedicated combat unit, is self-evident. For you, this one is probably the worst possible match."

"The worst possible outcome? What about the best possible outcome?"

Zheng Jing raised an eyebrow curiously.

"Naturally, it's Captain Unohana."

"...I would rather be Kenpachi Kuruyashiki."

Now it was Aizen's turn to raise an eyebrow in curiosity.

However, seeing Zheng Jing scratching his head in frustration, he still chuckled softly.

"I won't ask why."

"Long live understanding, Lao Lan!"

"In short, barring any unforeseen circumstances, one of these three will be the team leader who examines you for your graduation assessment. Do you feel you are well-prepared?"

"That's enough, that's enough."

Zheng Jing grinned.

"No matter which captain it is, they're testing a mere academy student. They can't possibly use Bankai, can they? It's all Shikai, what am I, Old Zheng, afraid of! Besides, the worst that can happen is that I didn't win and got pushed back to start over with Old Lan and you guys... Oh, right!"

At this point, Zheng Jing patted the thigh that Yoruichi hadn't occupied.

"Hey, Lao Lan, Hajime, when are you two planning to graduate? Why don't you come with me?"

"what?"

Before Aizen could speak, Yoruichi spoke first.

She turned around, looked up, and rolled her eyes at Zheng Jing.

"You think you can master everything? You think you can just say you know how to use the Zanpakuto and explain its origins so easily? You're such a gorilla! Please, do the math. You've only been enrolled for a month! A month, you know that?!"

Over the past month, Yoruichi has not only failed to defeat Zheng Jing in any white-handed fights, but she has also started to rely on advanced techniques passed down in the Shihōin family to suppress him in Shunpo.

It can be said that, apart from Aizen who spends every day with Zheng Jing, she is the person in the entire Shinigami Academy who can best appreciate how amazing Zheng Jing's progress is.

"Look at what you're saying, as if you and Old Lan are both bad at some kind of Zanpakuto technique, and that you haven't even figured out how to release your Zanpakuto yet."

Zheng Jing curled his lip.

"Then I won't ask you, I'll ask Lao Lan, Lao Lan, what about you?"

"I am indeed considering graduating early..."

Seeing that Zheng Jing and Yoruichi were both looking over, Aizen smiled and shook his head: "But I never thought I would graduate in the first year."

This is the truth.
