Chapter 325: The Zanpakutō of Teyvat

Return to the world of Teyvat.

Everyone could finally let out a sigh of relief.

They hadn’t provoked a stronger Shinigami.

And they had perfectly completed the mission.

To be honest, it felt incredibly satisfying.

Yae Miko placed the stolen Zanpakutō in front of Su Han and asked: “How should these things be used?”

In terms of current points accumulated,

there was still a shortfall of one hundred thousand.

So Yae Miko hadn’t considered exchanging anything yet.

She was now more concerned with how to make them all possess their own Zanpakutō.

After studying the history of the Shinigami world,

it wasn’t hard to realize that a Zanpakutō was not merely a sword, but rather a product evolved from one’s own essence.

It could be a fan.

It could be a fishing rod.

Or even a living creature.

So if a Zanpakutō could awaken, Yae Miko believed it would be far more useful than her own Kagura Bell.

Looking at the hundreds of Zanpakutō,

Su Han smiled: “Actually, it’s very simple—since we’re not Shinigami, all you need to do is grasp the Zanpakutō and infuse your soul into it.”

“More precisely, your soul’s aura…”

“Then it should be even easier for you!”

Ningguang couldn’t help but ask.

He was currently someone who had consumed the Hito Hito no Mi.

His sensitivity to soul aura was extremely high.

If he were to act as the medium “Wu Si Qi” for others to use,

the results would surely be better than if he used it himself.

Su Han nodded: “That’s indeed correct… So who will go first in awakening their Zanpakutō?”

He glanced around.

Eventually, he noticed everyone’s eyes were fixed on Kaedehara Kazuha.

Clearly, this lucky one was him.

“Then I’ll go… Master, what should I do?”

“Pick one from inside, hold it in your hand, and I’ll teach you how to use it…”

“Alright!”

Kaedehara Kazuha quickly went to follow.

He casually picked up a Zanpakutō and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Everyone held their breath.

They wanted to witness this historic moment.

Su Han placed his hand on the other’s back.

A white sphere

flew out from Kaedehara Kazuha’s body and ultimately merged into the Zanpakutō, the previously ordinary blade.

After absorbing this power,

the blade began slowly cracking.

With the casing shattering apart,

a sword appeared before everyone’s eyes.

This blade was like flowing wind—a katana whose front bore maple leaves and sea waves, while its back displayed swirling currents.

It looked incredibly magical.

"Is this... my Zanpakutō?"

Kaedehara Kazuha felt the change in his weapon.

He quickly opened his eyes.

The brand-new weapon came into view before him.

It gave him a sense of bloodline connection.

Yae Miko looked at the beautiful blade and asked, "What's the name of this sword?"

"I... don't know..."

Kaedehara Kazuha looked to Su Han for help.

The weapon had awakened, after all.

The problem was, he didn’t know how to use it.

Su Han said to him, "Sink your consciousness into the blade, follow the forging method of the Sword-Controlling Art—then you’ll receive the name of this sword. Every Zanpakutō has its own release command..."

They weren’t people from the Soul Reaper world.

There was no need to gain the blade’s approval.

They only needed to follow the forging method of the Sword-Controlling Art.

Naturally, they would gain the full power of the blade.

Kaedehara Kazuha immediately did as instructed.

Fifteen minutes later.

With eyes closed, Kaedehara Kazuha suddenly snapped them open, muttering softly: "Maple leaves brush dawn... Sky-sorrow goose cries... Tremble, against the wind..."

Swish.

The blade kept cracking apart.

Triggered by the release incantation.

The Zanpakutō in Kaedehara Kazuha’s hand.

Suddenly transformed into wisps of wind.

One could say that except for the hilt, the blade itself had turned into wind.

Paimon stared at the strange weapon, amazed: "So this is what a Zanpakutō looks like! It seems so fun to play with..."

"Now, let me try..."

Kamisato Ayaka stepped forward.

She also wanted to unlock her own Zanpakutō.

Seeing her initiative,

Su Han naturally wouldn’t refuse.

The same process, the same steps.

Fifteen minutes later.

Kamisato Ayaka’s Zanpakutō had awakened too.

"Frost shards fall like cherry blossoms... Divine call shines bright... Snow Maiden, arise..."

After her Zanpakutō’s initial release,

It even changed her own form.

Her entire body transformed from a petite girl into a tall, mature woman. Not only that... the sword in Kamisato Ayaka’s hand turned into countless ice crystals.

Ningguang analyzed her state: "I think I understand what a Zanpakutō means now... It might be related to your elements, but I wonder if..."

"Can we use the Sword-Controlling Art to fuse the Zanpakutō with our true weapon?"

In the Soul Reaper world,

Zanpakutō were always kept outside.

If one could use the Sword-Controlling Art

To forge it together with their own weapon,

Wouldn’t their strength rise even further?

Moreover, with a Zanpakutō,

Giving up their original weapon wouldn’t be ideal either.

Su Han nodded: "You can try... But first, let everyone awaken their weapons! I want to see what abilities you all have..."

"Alright."

Afterwards, others began awakening their weapons one by one.

As expected, Ningguang’s prediction held true.

Keqing’s awakened Zanpakutō was a lightning-element type.

It could mimic another version of herself to launch attacks.

Both could call out positions to each other.

It even possessed the awakening power of the Flower-Flower Fruit.

Simply by this trait alone, her combat strength had greatly increased.

As for Kujou Sara’s Zanpakutō, it was a summoning-type.

A massive crow-like tengu.

The summoned creature could assist in attacks, unleash thunder, and share vision.

It was the first to awaken a summoning-type Zanpakutō.

And Yae Miko's Zanpakutō was a white fox, named Bai Ji.

It could transform into a shimenawa bell.

Similarly, it could also maintain the form of a fox.

However, this weapon had the advantage of releasing healing spiritual energy.

It was quite a decent Zanpakutō, all things considered.

As for Mo Na's Zanpakutō, it was somewhat amusing.

Because after its initial release,

it became nothing more than a cloud.

It could summon thunder and rain.

But its range was extremely limited.

This made her very frustrated.

Xiangling's Zanpakutō, on the other hand, was a long spear; those struck by it would lose all five senses.

It was a very effective special weapon.

Right now, she was trying to figure out how to merge with her weapon.

Hu Tao's Zanpakutō was the most terrifying among them all.

Because her soul power was inherently unique.

The awakened form of her Zanpakutō was: Yan Luo!

Its weapon was a long spear; upon release, it unleashed massive flames of hell, and every soul that stepped into the fire

would be branded on the soul.

Hu Tao could then use judgment upon that soul.

That is, imprisoning the target in a hellish realm...

Subjecting them to eighteen tortures.

If they couldn't endure, their soul would become a slave to that space.

A soul that would never be reborn.

As for Klee's Zanpakutō... it was rather funny—it was essentially just a toy bear.

And it burned itself from within.

Exploding on its own.

Similar to Annie's Tibers.

Normally, it was incredibly cute—hugging it felt like holding a toy.

But upon release, it transformed into a super bomb tens of meters tall!
