Chapter 326

After the explosion, it continues to shrink, absorbing fire element and constantly accumulating explosive power.

Seeing everyone else has a Zanpakutō.

Su Han naturally wouldn’t forget Qiqi.

This cute little zombie has also awakened her Zanpakutō, though... perhaps her soul is just slightly weak or something?

Temporary inability to perform Shikai.

Su Han stroked Qiqi’s head and comforted her: “It’s alright… after some cultivation time, our Zanpakutō will naturally awaken…”

“Mm!”

Qiqi obediently nodded.

Yae Miko then said: “Looks like… we can’t just mass-produce Zanpakutō; only those skilled warriors can achieve Shikai.”

“Cultivation isn’t that simple! But… you’re right—Shikai is just the beginning. Bankai is what truly makes one powerful. Like Haki…”

Beidou also awakened her Zanpakutō at this moment.

A large two-handed sword.

The awakened ability is: Valkyrie!

After Shikai, she becomes completely encased in armor, significantly boosting all her attributes.

She also gains the ability to fly.

Similar to a Valkyrie.

This flying ability greatly pleases Beidou.

After all, now she can thoroughly deal with any flying enemies in the future.

At this moment, Shenhe laughed: “As for Qiqi… she needs to strengthen her soul cultivation. I estimate within a month, she should be able to awaken…”

Her awakened Zanpakutō is called: Qingxin.

It is a longbow.

The deeper her affection in heart.

The more terrifying her attack power becomes.

This was quite unexpected for Su Han.

Originally, he thought Shenhe would awaken a spear, not a bow—never imagined that.

But the special effect.

Made everyone understand clearly.

The depth of this woman’s feelings.

5.4 Her heart is entirely filled with Su Han.

Those who subsequently awakened their Zanpakutō were: Jean, Lisa, and Rosalind.

Jean’s Zanpakutō is a humanoid summon.

Appearing as an intelligent beauty.

Its ability is healing.

Also the second healing-type weapon.

Lisa’s Zanpakutō, on the other hand, takes the form of a bracelet.

Its ability is to trap a person inside a prison room and continuously unleash thunder.

The more they struggle.

The more terrifying the thunder becomes.

Unless they break through the cage.

They will be electrocuted to death.

There’s also a passive effect: if unable to resist this technique, one will be forced to reveal their deepest secrets.

As for Rosalind’s Zanpakutō, it is called: Hell Nightmare.

A spiritual-type Zanpakutō.

Upon seeing her weapon, enemies immediately enter a hellish nightmare, and if their soul is destroyed.

Their physical body becomes the nightmare’s vessel.

Truly a terrifying being.

Sand’s Zanpakutō is somewhat amusing—a very cute sunny doll that can amplify any technique she uses with sand.

Commonly known as: added effects.

Enlargement.

Concentration.

Both can be activated through the sunny doll.

Quite a favorite thing for Sand, really.

Among those currently stranded in Inazuma.

There are still some people who haven't obtained their Zanpakutō.

For example, Yoimiya... Kaeya, Diluc.

It's not that they failed to awaken, but rather they're temporarily handling cargo matters outside.

Due to the festival's overwhelming popularity.

Mondstadt made a huge profit this time.

Kaeya and Diluc are attending to official duties.

Yoimiya has returned to Mondstadt to transport supplies.

When they come back, they will naturally be able to use Shōtō to awaken their own Zanpakutō.

Then came the little one, Sanae.

As one of the four young girls, she is quite powerful.

Naturally, she should also receive a Zanpakutō.

To everyone's surprise, Sanae actually awakened her Shikai.

Her Zanpakutō’s Shikai is called: “Raccoon Dreams in a Pack.”

It can summon four clones.

Assisting her in attacks.

Moreover, Sanae’s clones can perform ninjutsu and even die in her place.

Meaning that even if she suffers a fatal blow,

as long as her clones remain, they can absorb the death strike once.

Quite an incredibly powerful Zanpakutō indeed.

Everyone is experiencing their own Zanpakutō within the Heavenly Realm.

They’ve even started sparring with each other.

Su Han, meanwhile, claimed the reward for this mission.

Since this is the world of Shinigami,

it’s likely that the reward he receives would be a Zanpakutō!

【Ding... Congratulations, group member, for successfully completing the difficult special mission. As the group leader, you have earned an additional reward: 60,000 points.】

【Ding... Congratulations, group member, for successfully completing the difficult special mission. As the group leader, you have earned the mission reward: Perfect Version of Yukihiro.】

【Yukihiro】: An ice-element Zanpakutō, also the most renowned Zanpakutō in the Soul Society. The blade spirit has awakened and can move freely.

【Hint】: After system enhancement, this Zanpakutō can now achieve Bankai, but the user must be able to control its power; otherwise, it will be consumed by the force.

【Features】: When not engaged in battle, Yukihiro can transform into the form of a blade spirit and move freely, possessing independent thoughts and normal human-like consciousness.

【Analysis】: During combat, if Yukihiro is summoned, her blade spirit will join the fight, though her combat strength is not as potent as when fully merged with the blade.

【Special】: No need to worry about Yukihiro betraying you—she is bound to serve the group leader exclusively. Even if given to another, she will never turn against you...

Su Han looked at the Zanpakutō he had just acquired.

A look of "as expected" appeared on his face.

In truth, none of the Zanpakutō from this mission were ordinary.

For example: Ice Wheel, Zangetsu, Senbonzakura... all are top-tier Zanpakutō, and the White Sleeve is naturally no exception.

Even Su Han thought it was quite good.

Because he planned to give this Zanpakutō to his little secretary, Bai Wen.

Lately, he had been so busy that he’d somewhat neglected her.

And this weapon would be a perfect companion for her.

It was truly excellent.

Moreover, he intended to properly nurture this young woman who had followed him since the beginning.

Su Han activated his sword-riding technique.

He headed toward Shadowward Mountain.

Upon arriving at the Inazuma Shrine, the nearby shrine maidens saw him descend.

They all knelt down and bowed in greeting.

"Hail, Master Su Han..."

"Hmm, rise... Where is Miss Bai Wen here?"

"Reporting to you, sir, she is currently attending to official matters in the guest room. We just delivered some tea snacks..."

"Hmm, I see."

Su Han walked inside.

At that moment, Bai Wen was calculating the recent profits, as a secretary accompanying Ningguang.

She also had her own responsibilities to bear.

The master may rest.

But she couldn’t.

"Today’s accessory revenue totals thirty-eight thousand Mora..."

"The Sea of the Kairyū has recently faced a shortage of meat—arrange for merchants to send a batch over!"

"Meanwhile, the coral pearls from the Sea of the Kairyū are selling wildly in Fontaine..."

Piles of documents were being swiftly processed.

The girl hadn’t noticed at all.

That person she longed for day and night was standing right behind her.

And had been watching her for quite some time.

Until a pair of large hands gently wrapped around her, Bai Wen finally snapped back to awareness.

Her body stiffened.

A scream nearly escaped her lips.

Until she caught the familiar scent.

Bai Wen instantly melted into softness.

"Master..."

The girl turned around, her gaze dazed and dreamy.

Her voice trembled with emotion.

Su Han held Bai Wen close, comforting her: "You’ve been working hard lately... Didn’t I say you didn’t need to help Ningguang? Why have you returned to your old ways?"

He had once told her.

His little secretary.

All you need to do is manage your own affairs.

Bai Wen lowered her head and whispered softly: "I’ve managed your enterprises well too—pastures and such are now generating income... but... but..."

Master Su Han is simply too busy.

It’s hard to even catch a glimpse of you.

If I were idle,

I’d inevitably start thinking about you.

Such longing is the most deadly kind.

So to keep myself from overthinking,

Bai Wen could only fill herself with work.

Best to throw herself into tasks, so she wouldn’t think at all.

Seeing the sorrowful girl, Su Han gently stroked her back and said softly: "It won’t happen again... I won’t leave you behind anymore. After all, you’re my little secretary."

How about this—

As long as it’s not a particularly dangerous battle,

I’ll take you with me, okay?"

"Yes, you’re so kind..."

Bai Wen wept with joy.

She clung tightly to Su Han’s waist,

As if wishing to merge completely into him.

After hugging for about half an hour, Su Han handed her the White Sleeve.

"Xiu Bai Xue is the most powerful Zanpakutō in the Soul Society; from now on... I'll have her teach you."

"White Sleeve—the finest Zanpakutō in the Soul Society. From now on... I’ll have her teach you."

As he spoke,

[61] A white-clad woman appeared before the two of them.

She had long淡紫色 hair and wore a white long-sleeved kimono, her appearance extremely youthful.

Her eyes were ice blue.

This level of beauty left Bai Wen utterly stunned.

Was the other party truly just a blade?

How could someone be so stunning.

"Hello, my master... I am Xiu Bai Xue... please take care of me from now on..."

The blade spirit politely bowed.

Bai Wen quickly said, "No, no... we can learn from each other. I... I still don't know how to fight well."

Although Su Han had specifically arranged people to teach her.

However, Bai Wen's combat ability was not impressive.

So far, she had only just learned how to wield霸气 (dreadful aura).

Her observation skills, however, were quite good.

In dodging attacks.

When fighting the leader of the Black Blade Unit, she could easily evade.

But she couldn't compare at all to those wielding Vision.

Xiu Bai Xue said upon hearing this: "Yes, we can learn from each other. My master told me you are my partner... we'll grow together..."

As the group leader.

The Zanpakutō was automatically bound.

But it could be lent to Bai Wen for use.

Even allowing her to leave her own mark.

Binding meant one could not betray.

Not that it couldn't be used by others.

Bai Wen, seeing her new friend, immediately grabbed her small hand and started asking questions.

The two chattered away cheerfully.

They soon burst into laughter.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Su Han turned to Bai Wen and said, "I'll head back to the Sky Guardian Pavilion first. If anything comes up, contact me via the phone bug..."

"Yes, okay..."

Her longing illness was cured.

Bai Wen also regained her cheerful demeanor.

She understood that Su Han was very busy.
