Chapter 5

Not clear.

Don't understand!

You have to understand, if one cultivates step by step, even a Shinigami with decent talent would need over a hundred years to reach this level!

"Heh."

"It seems the idea of surpassing big brother was still too much wishful thinking."

Yoruichi and Urahara's mouths twitched slightly.

If one were to say.

That before, when they saw Kuchiki Senya so listless, they still harbored thoughts of overtaking him around the bend.

Then now.

The test results had given them a heavy blow!

Your big brother is, after all, your big brother.

"No, impossible!"

Kuchiki Bai Zai's pupils contracted violently, his fingers digging into his hair, unconsciously rubbing it into a bird's nest.

The wastrel brother all along.

The brother who only knew how to eat, sleep, and drink — his cultivation progress was actually faster than his own?

How could this be!

Kuchiki Bai Zai was already questioning his life.

At this moment.

Beneath the maple tree.

Aizen watched Kuchiki Senya, swaying unsteadily, looking like a drunkard.

He frowned slightly.

Then his brow smoothed out.

"You are still far from enough."

Aizen murmured softly, his gaze cold and lonely.

Even the spiritual pressure of a captain at his peak could only earn him one extra glance — nothing more.

And in the rest room.

"The file."

Unohana Retsu extended her hand.

The intelligence officer beside her respectfully handed over Kuchiki Senya's dossier.

Achieved captain-level at a hundred years old — the number one genius of Soul Society.

Two and a half years ago, for reasons unknown, fell into wine and women, abandoning his cultivation…

The dossier showed nothing unusual.

In those two and a half years, Kuchiki Senya had shown no trace of cultivation whatsoever.

But why.

Was his spiritual pressure growing so ferociously?

Unohana Retsu stared intently at Kuchiki Senya in the field, swaying like a drunkard, and frowned slightly.

The spiritual pressure sphere had shattered.

The fact that the sphere's limit was level 30 did not mean Kuchiki Senya was only level 30…

Spiritual pressure.

Levels 1-10 are small fry.

Levels 11-20 can enter the Thirteen Court Guard Squads and serve as seated officers.

Levels 21-30 can serve as captains (without Shikai, let alone Bankai).

Whether one can use Bankai.

Is also the greatest difference between a captain and small fry.

After all.

Shikai and Bankai.

Can multiply a person's strength several times, even over tenfold!

And Kuchiki Senya.

With spiritual pressure of at least level 30, if he could use Bankai, he could directly assume the duties of a captain!

"Could it be that he was hiding his strength two and a half years ago?"

Unohana Retsu murmured softly.

Even she could not help but sigh with emotion — the younger generation is to be feared.

However.

If he were allowed to keep degenerating like this, even the finest talent would be wasted.

Thinking of this.

Unohana Retsu gently stroked the hilt of her Zanpakuto.

The intelligence officer beside her trembled like a leaf, great beads of cold sweat dripping down.

What was going on?

Why had the air in this rest room suddenly grown so bone-chilling?
