Chapter 3

As Huang Mu opened his system, a line of data appeared directly in his mind.

【Daily Routine Task: Serve one customer — completed, gaining 1000 experience points.】

【Daily Training Task: Completed a thousand slashes, gaining 2000 experience points】

【Main Task: Report for duty in the Thirteen Court Guard Squads of the Pure Spirit Court.】

【Note: The amount of reward for the main task depends on the rank of the position the host holds within the Thirteen Court Guard Squads of the Pure Spirit Court.】

Huang Mu calmly looked at the task displayed on the task panel in his mind.

Aside from the newly appeared main task…

The two daily tasks that the system refreshes at set times each day, Huang Mu has successfully completed.

In response, Huang Mu's eyes were as still as an ancient well, and with practiced ease he used his will to claim the rewards for those two completed daily tasks. In an instant, the blue-glowing daily task panel in his mind turned gray.

"Character Attributes Template, open."

After Huang Mu successfully claimed the experience gained from completing the daily tasks, he immediately switched his system's daily task template to his personal character attributes template.

After Huang Mu opened his personal data panel, he stared at the long string of numbers in the experience column, gradually falling into contemplation; that long string had a full ten digits, in other words, a full ten billion experience points! Who knows how many years Huang Mu spent accumulating so much experience?!

Huang Mu, without any nonsense, directly located the spiritual pressure column on his character panel and, using his will, lightly pressed the (+) after his Grade Three Spiritual Pressure.

"System, give me points!"

With Huang Mu's allocation, the ten-digit experience value on his character panel instantly dropped to 1890, and his spiritual pressure successfully rose to Grade Two.

Indeed, although each level increase in Huang Mu's system abilities grants him great power, the experience consumed is extraordinarily extravagant.

The experience required for each upgrade is ten times that needed for the previous upgrade!

After Huang Mu spent 10 experience points to unlock his spiritual pressure and obtain the innate Grade Ten Spiritual Pressure, he then spent over a hundred million more experience points, which brought his spiritual pressure up to Grade Three—the standard level for captain-class Shinigami spiritual pressure in later eras.

Thereafter, Huang Mu continuously accumulated experience by relying on his daily three thousand points, and only today did he finally amass ten billion experience points, raising his spiritual pressure to Grade Two while simultaneously unlocking the system's main task.

According to the standards of the first generation of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads in Soul Society, Huang Mu's spiritual pressure has only just officially entered the domain where captain-level Shinigami reside…

Yes, compared to later eras, where merely reaching Grade Three Spiritual Pressure would earn one a captaincy from Soul Society and even be used as a combat power measurement unit, for the likes of Liuche Quanxi, who prefers not to reveal his name, the first generation Thirteen Court Guard Squads had far stricter requirements for captains, and the captains themselves were far stronger!

After all, this is the first generation Thirteen Court Guard Squads, all of whom are killing embryos! Every captain of the first generation Thirteen Court Guard Squads rose through battle after battle, drenched in blood! They are completely unlike the greenhouse flowers cultivated by the later Shin'ō Academy…

As his spiritual pressure finally reached Grade Two, Huang Mu felt a surge of emotion for a moment.

"How many years?! My spiritual pressure has finally reached Grade Two..."

Huang Mu himself can no longer recall how many years he has been in this world.

He only remembers that he was initially playing an open-world, hot-blooded game based on the One Piece theme, and after binge-playing it for two and a half days, with a cycle of opening his eyes, closing them, and opening them again… he found himself transferred from his warm bedroom to this remote Wandering Soul Street!

At first, Huang Mu didn't think much of it…

After all, it wasn't just him who transmigrated; along with him came the powerful character data he had crafted in that One Piece-themed game, having spent large amounts of money and time on it.

Superb swordsmanship at the peak of grand master level. Mastery of all six forms granting formidable physical prowess. Even if suffering a fatal wound, he can recover to pristine condition through proper rest, possessing superlative recuperative power. Even after three days and nights of battle, his max-level body shows not a trace of fatigue. All three colors of Haki at their highest level. Plus the potent, awakened Surgery Fruit…

These innate powers of Huang Mu's cheat granted him the confidence to survive, believing he could thrive in the "unknown" alternate world.

To the then-teenage Huang Mu, still suffering from chuunibyo, this seemed like a heaven-sent opportunity to go to another world and recreate Overlord! All that remained was to see him wield his max-level main account and powerful special abilities to dominate this unknown world.

Even if Huang Mu transmigrated into the extremely dangerous world of One Piece, he remained confident that as long as he avoided provoking the "Admirals" and "Four Emperors," those top-tier beings, and also refrained from antagonizing the damned Celestial Dragons, avoided being discovered by the old schemer Im, prevented the unknown forces of the "God Knights" from being deployed to hunt him, or being blown up by a mother fire seed, he could still scrape by for a lifetime.

Then Huang Mu saw a figure clad in a pitch-black garment known as the "Shihakushō," with a sword called the "Zanpakutō" at his waist, a being known as a "Shinigami," walking slowly past him before his eyes! Upon this, Huang Mu's inner self collapsed; he knew he was probably dead beyond death, now likely nothing but a lone soul…

The good news is that Huang Mu seemingly doesn't need to go to the underworld to joke and chat with the judges; before King Yama he could vent his grievances from his past life, then gulp down a bowl of Meng Po's soup, and proceed to "reincarnate"! The bad news is that there is no chance for reincarnation; he has been fated to go straight to Soul Society.

At that moment, Huang Mu's mind held only one sentence: "Damn! This isn't One Piece; this is the world of Death God!"

Yes, although Huang Mu doesn't understand why, while alive he was clearly playing an open-world game with a One Piece theme, he somehow ended up transmigrating into the world of Death God. But he knows that whether he comprehends it or not is utterly irrelevant!

The fact is that he has transmigrated, and into the very manga he once read in his past life, titled Bleach, also known as Death God/Boundary…

After Huang Mu gradually calmed down and confirmed that the world he had transmigrated into was not One Piece but Bleach, his enthusiasm promptly dwindled considerably…

After all, the world of Bleach, especially the Soul Society where Huang Mu finds himself, is far more dangerous than the world of One Piece!

Frankly speaking, if Huang Mu had truly transmigrated into the world of One Piece, he could have simply fled to the East Blue, symbol of peace, and lived out his life in tranquility! After all, the strongest pirate there is merely Ke Li Ke……

However, Huang Mu, who directly transmigrated into the Soul Society, seems to have no other option but to become a Soul Reaper… As for becoming a Soul Reaper, the heaven-defying abilities of the various major antagonists he must face are simply outrageously powerful!

First of all, the final and strongest boss of the Bleach manga, 'Son of the Great Soul King', 'Origin of the Quincy', You Ha Ba He, whose outrageous 'omniscient and omnipotent' power to directly 'change the future' we won't even discuss……

Just speaking of You Ha Ba He's underlings, those little bosses with abilities like 'World Harmony', 'Forceful Execution', 'All-Piercing', 'Lethal Dose', 'Miracle'—all those flashy powers—Huang Mu has no idea how to deal with them.

Thus, the newly transmigrated Huang Mu, still in a dazed stage, pondered his future while wandering the Soul Society; after spending several years there making a name for himself, he happened to slip into a swordsmanship dojo called the Yuanzi Academy and became a disciple of its head instructor……

That was arguably the most painful experience Huang Mu has had since arriving in this world, after all his teacher is truly strict to the point of being scary with disciples~

However, the results were indeed impressive! Perhaps because Huang Mu had a foundation in One Piece swordsmanship, he picked up the Soul Reaper swordsmanship quickly—in just a few short decades, Huang Mu had mastered all of his teacher's sword techniques!

And at what would now be called the graduation ceremony, he carved a scar shaped like a left-falling stroke onto the forehead of his teacher—who held the position of head instructor at the Yuanzi Academy, his hairline severely receded and clearly destined to go bald……

At the same time, from his cheap teacher's mouth he obtained the license of full transmission for the Yuan Style swordsmanship, and it was at the moment Huang Mu received this license that his game panel, fixed by unknown factors, finally updated.

From then on, Huang Mu's game panel changed from the original One Piece world panel to the current character panel fused with Bleach world features. Moreover, what surprised Huang Mu was that, besides his Soul Reaper abilities, this body also seemed to have the potential for Full Manifestation Art……

In fact, Huang Mu has also conducted a certain 'deep-level' study of the Bleach manga.

After the manga's main story concluded, he also watched the official sequel novel 'Can't Fear Your Own World' on B‑Station—that is, the commonly known 'Bleach: The Five Great Noble Houses' arc—and at the same time Huang Mu has watched many uploaders on B‑station explaining the Bleach manga and its side stories.

Therefore, Huang Mu also knows that the so‑called Full Manifestation Art abilities are not as simple as when, in the Bleach anime's Fullbring arc, the minor boss Yin Cheng Kong Wu told the protagonist Yi Hu……

In fact, the power of Full Manifestation Art does not come from Hollows; it is the power brought by the fragments of the Soul King, who sustains the three worlds, so every Full Manifestation Art user's ability holds tremendous potential.

Thus, in Huang Mu's view, the fact that his body carries Full Manifestation Art ability is absolutely good news!

Meanwhile, top‑tier Full Manifestation Art abilities are extraordinarily strong! As spoken by a certain unnamed person who constantly wishes to stand atop the heavens, some Full Manifestation Art powers can even encroach upon the domain of the gods.

Among them, Jing Shang Zhi Ji, one of the main characters of the Bleach manga, her Full Manifestation Art Shield Shun Six Flowers, and Yue Dao Xiu Jiu Lang's Full Manifestation Art Book of Endings, are outstanding examples of Full Manifestation Art abilities.

For Huang Mu, if he could directly awaken Shield Shun Six Flowers or the Book of Endings—those Full Manifestation Art abilities powerful enough to interfere with some phenomenon—that would be perfect, granting him stronger survivability.

With this in mind, Huang Mu excitedly opened the system information regarding Full Manifestation Art……

Full Manifestation Art: Everlasting Flower (Unawakened)

Ability: Bind one's own life with that of the person who deeply loves them; as long as one survives in the world, the other will not die, and regardless of any form of attack both sides endure, they can recover by consuming spiritual pressure; before both parties' spiritual pressure is exhausted, no attack can take the life of either side.

Upon seeing the ability of his Full Manifestation Art Everlasting Flower, Huang Mu gained a rough idea of its strength.

"Divine skill! Although this ability has no attack power, it is absolutely a life‑saving divine skill!"

"It's practically the combination of Upper Moon Six Gyutaro and Daki's abilities from Demon Slayer, fused with the later Ninth Division Vice Captain Hui Zuo Mu Xiu Bing's Bankai Wind Death Strangling Rope……"

"Furthermore, according to this ability, as long as at least one of the two linked parties still has spiritual pressure not exhausted, the damage they receive can be recovered, and the ability only disappears when both linked parties are completely dead……"

"In other words, the stronger the spiritual pressure of the target I choose to link with, the harder they are to kill, and the more advantageous it is for me~"

Upon examining the effect of his Full Manifestation Art ability, Huang Mu instantly felt delighted.

Although, in terms of practicality and playability, it is not as strong as the Book of Endings or Shield Shun Six Flowers……

But in terms of survivability, it is absolutely the strongest Full Manifestation Art ability Huang Mu knows, without equal!

"Let me check the awakening conditions for the Full Manifestation Art ability."

Huang Mu thought this, then clicked on the ability's awakening conditions.

The awakening conditions for Full Manifestation Art abilities are strange and varied; Huang Mu only hopes his own Full Manifestation Art awakens in a way that isn't too bizarre.

{Ability activation condition: affection toward the ability user above eighty, and the person the ability user loves. }

Huang Mu stared at the awakening condition of his Full Manifestation Art, slightly stunned—others' Full Manifestation Art awakening conditions are mostly some item, while his condition to activate the ability is a person!

Can a person serve as the condition for activating Full Manifestation Art?

So, as an lsp, has Huang Mu finally been discovered by the Full Manifestation Art ability?

No, strictly speaking, Huang Mu can deceive others and even himself, but he cannot deceive his pure soul. However, this doesn't matter; in Huang Mu's view, as long as his Full Manifestation Art can awaken and be used, that's fine! Huang Mu is completely a 'strength faction'~

"Moreover, the ability does not show that it can only bind to one person; in other words, if I 'play' it well, I might be able to bind with multiple people……"

"This ability isn't trying to make me a scumbag, is it?! Damn! Am I that kind of person? I'm a decent person!"

Huang Mu stared at his ability, lost in thought; he always felt his ability gave him the potential to be a scumbag.

In fact, he is extremely pure and decent, cough cough……

Besides that, Huang Mu looked at the note on his ability.

{Note: Everlasting Flower will receive ability corrections based on the spiritual pressure of the first person it binds to! The higher the spiritual pressure of the first bound person, the higher the level of spirit particle manipulation of Full Manifestation Art's innate skill! }

It seems to be responding to Huang Mu's thoughts; just as he began pondering whether his Full Manifestation Art Everlasting Flower could bind to multiple people, his mind instantly received a system notification.

"I see, that means the stronger the person I first bind to, the stronger the power I will gain!"

"If that's the case, then if my Full Manifestation Art Everlasting Flower were bound to the strongest woman in the Soul Society, wouldn't I be invincible?!"

"Got it, I'll go marry Mao Zhi Hua Lie first!"

Huang Mu raised his eyebrows.

After Huang Mu figured out his Full Manifestation Art ability, his mind instantly formed a resolute idea.

The first thing after transmigration: marry Mao Zhi Hua Lie first!
