Chapter 82

Urahara Shop.

After Kisuke Urahara returned, his mind was still constantly replaying the battle with Chu Yang just now.

Aside from the terrifying strength that shocked him, Chu Yang's sword skills were also truly stunning.

If one were to set aside the abilities of Shikai and Bankai for Zanpakuto.

Kisuke Urahara felt that Chu Yang's sword skills could even crush most captain-level Soul Reapers.

This was a gap in pure technique.

"Where did he learn such exquisite swordplay at such a young age?"

Intense curiosity made Kisuke Urahara lie on the tatami mat, scratching his head and ears.

At this moment, Tessai Tsukabishi lifted the door curtain, revealing half of his sturdy frame, and asked, "How is that person? Is there a problem?"

Kisuke Urahara nodded, his face sagging as he said, "It's more than just a problem; it's a massive problem."

Tessai Tsukabishi's expression turned grave, his handlebar mustache twitching, "Does it have to do with Aizen?"

Kisuke Urahara shook his head and said, "No."

Tessai Tsukabishi was left completely bewildered by him, frowning as he asked, "If it has nothing to do with Aizen, what other problem could there be?"

Kisuke Urahara tapped his fingers on the tatami, looking troubled as he said, "He is too strong—so strong that I can't quite figure out his origins. He is clearly an ordinary human, yet he could hold his own against me."

Only then did Tessai Tsukabishi understand what he meant; he froze, asking in disbelief, "You lost?"

"Cough, cough, cough!!!"

Kisuke Urahara coughed incessantly, immediately flipping himself up to sit, and said solemnly, "How can it count as losing if I didn't use Shikai or Bankai?"

Tessai Tsukabishi stared at Kisuke Urahara with a look of disdain, "Using Shikai against a human? You've really degenerated after staying in the living world for so long."

"You don't know a damn thing." Knowing Tessai Tsukabishi was teasing him on purpose, Kisuke Urahara couldn't be bothered to argue, turning over on his own and presenting his back to him.

Seeing that he wouldn't take the bait, Tessai Tsukabishi changed the subject, "It's hard to imagine what this person would be like if he were to become a Soul Reaper."

Tessai Tsukabishi's unintentional remark made the hair on Kisuke Urahara's body stand on end.

On the other side, Chu Yang was also reviewing this sudden battle from tonight.

Stopping at the last moment was partly out of concern for harming innocent neighbors, and partly because he had recognized Kisuke Urahara and sensed that the other party had no malicious intent.

In fact, ever since he displayed a portion of his abilities in front of Rukia, Chu Yang had anticipated that such a situation would arise.

The probability of him coming into conflict with Soul Reapers was not low, but he hadn't expected the first to clash with him would be Kisuke Urahara.

The other party had not used Shikai or Bankai, exerting less than twenty percent of his total strength.

Having a slight advantage was only natural; Chu Yang didn't feel there was anything worth being proud of.

For top-tier Zanpakuto, most Shikai and Bankai abilities are at the level of "rules."

For example, the Bankai of Kisuke Urahara's Zanpakuto, "Benihime"—Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame.

Within the range of his Bankai, Kisuke Urahara can reconstruct anything touched by the Zanpakuto; this target can be an enemy's flesh or his own.

The only ability of that level in Chu Yang's possession is Conqueror's Haki, but his Conqueror's Haki is not yet powerful enough.

Next is the Source Breathing, which is constantly improving and has terrifying potential; perhaps it will grow to the level of a rule in the future.

Even Chu Yang himself hadn't expected that the Demon Slayer world, with the lowest combat power, would actually give him the biggest surprise.

If both Conqueror's Haki and Source Breathing grow to a certain level, Chu Yang is confident he could defeat most captain-level Soul Reapers in the Gotei 13.

…………………

Ever since accepting the role of a substitute Soul Reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki's instances of being late or absent had occurred from time to time, and were gradually becoming more frequent.

In order not to delay his studies, and to allow Ichigo to transform into a Soul Reaper independently, Rukia gave Ichigo a Mod Soul.

The essence of a Mod Soul is a temporary soul, used to push Ichigo's soul out of his physical body.

However.

The Mod Soul Rukia obtained from the Urahara Shop was a defective product; inside was not a temporary soul, but a soul that had undergone modification.

The day after receiving the Mod Soul, the modified soul caused a huge commotion at school.

Chu Yang watched all of this happen silently.

This meant the time for him to enter the Soul Society was drawing closer.

……

Pirate World.

A certain island in the New World.

The azure sky was cloudless, but a flock of seabirds flying past was struck by a bolt of black lightning.

Following this were two dark, heavy clouds, grinding against each other in the high sky, clearly demarcated.

It was as if the entire sky had been torn in two!

The terrifying aura made the animals on the island tremble.

A moment later, the dark clouds dispersed.

On the island, a man with a full head of red hair lifted a wine bottle the size of a head, gulping down the alcohol.

A shocking aura was still radiating from his body.

Chu Yang sat on the edge of a cliff, recalling the feeling of the collision of Conqueror's Haki with Shanks just now.

The growth of Conqueror's Haki requires constant confrontation with stronger Conqueror's Haki.

Because Shanks was there, Chu Yang's progress after comprehending Conqueror's Haki was extremely fast; he was like a peerless master in a wuxia novel, constantly feeding moves to Chu Yang.

"Conqueror's Haki training is over." Shanks tossed the wine bottle aside, drew his sword 【Gryphon】 from his waist, and looked at Chu Yang with eager anticipation, saying, "As per tradition, the next part is a test of sword skills."

During a certain skirmish, after Chu Yang used Sun Breathing sword techniques while fighting enemy pirates, Shanks had frequently requested to spar with him.

As a Great Swordsman, it was hard for Shanks to suppress his excitement at finding such a talent.

But what surprised him was that after several bouts, the result always ended in his complete defeat in terms of sword technique.

Shanks put away his contempt.

Gradually, the two went from competing against each other to sharpening each other.

Shanks taught Chu Yang the application of Haki, while Chu Yang helped him polish his sword skills.

Chu Yang, sitting on the edge of the cliff, slowly stood up, a wooden sword suddenly appearing in his hand.

When he turned to look at Shanks, his gaze also became sharp.

The wooden sword in his hand was wrapped in Armament Haki, turning into the style of a black blade.

【Gryphon】 also turned into a black blade, held in Shanks's hands in a two-handed stance.

Shanks, who hadn't had his arm bitten off by the Lord of the Coast, had made rapid progress in his sword skills.

The two simultaneously unleashed slashes several meters long.

The slashes left two huge gullies on the ground before colliding.

The slashes shattered into fine sword Qi, turning into a storm that swept the surroundings.

The biting wind blades were like steel knives, scraping three feet deep into the ground.

Only after ravaging everything around them did Chu Yang and Shanks end their simple probing and charge at each other simultaneously.

"How come those two are at it again?"

The chef Lucky Roux held a massive piece of roasted meat, took a fierce bite, and then kept complaining about the battle between Chu Yang and Shanks.

"Can't help it, there aren't many people on the ship who like to fight with swords, and their sword skill levels are the only ones evenly matched."

Yasopp wiped his flintlock, peering into the distance from time to time, wanting to know the result of the match as soon as possible.

Because Chu Yang and Shanks frequently held sword duels, over time, the pirates on the ship started taking bets. Lucky Roux and Yasopp had placed quite a few wagers; if they lost, both of them would have to go bare-bottomed for the month, let alone eat roasted meat every day.

"That kid Yang, when he first arrived, I only thought his taijutsu was powerful, and his Fish-Man Karate was no different from the Fish-Man race, but after only a few days, this guy became a swordsman."

The ship's doctor, Howling Gab, shouted at the top of his lungs, "He hadn't even been holding a sword for many days, yet he gets stronger every day, almost catching up to the Captain."

Yasopp's gun-wiping motion paused, and he glanced at Gab sideways, "Got that wrong, didn't you? In terms of sword skills, Yang has already won several times; it's more like the Captain is catching up to him."

Gab glared fiercely at Yasopp, "This time, the Captain will definitely win!"

Yasopp sneered.

"You two who placed bets, if you can't evaluate objectively, then stop shouting." First Mate Benn Beckman stood to the side, puffing on a cigar.

Yasopp and Gab asked in unison, "Who did the First Mate bet on?"

Beckman replied subconsciously, "Yang, of course."

Gab: "..."

Just as the people on the ship were discussing who would win in a cacophony of voices.

On the distant island, the battle had already entered its final stage.

Chu Yang had now entered the state of the Demon Slayer Mark, with Source Breathing at full power.

Shanks also felt immense pressure and subconsciously used the power of Conqueror's Haki.

He didn't even realize it himself...

He had wrapped Conqueror's Haki around the blade of 【Gryphon】 just like Armament Haki!

The two blades collided violently.

The black lightning erupting from 【Gryphon】 and the light bands produced by Chu Yang's Source Breathing also slammed into each other fiercely.

The brilliant radiance instantly engulfed the two.

On the Red Force, countless people watched this scene, holding their breath.

After the radiance faded.

The wooden sword in Chu Yang's hand had already snapped in two.

"Oh no!!!"

"How could he have lost?!!!"

"I bet my entire living expenses for this month!"

"That kid Yang wouldn't be throwing the match, would he!"

Beckman and Yasopp were like frost-bitten eggplants, wilted and listless, while Gab, who had bet on Shanks to win, was grinning so wide his mouth almost reached the back of his head.

Lucky Roux patted Yasopp on the shoulder, showing a look of shared misery and resentment.

On the island, Shanks looked down at 【Gryphon】 in a daze.

Conqueror's Haki infusion meant that Shanks's strength had officially stepped into the level of a Pirate Emperor.

Chu Yang also had his own realizations, closing his eyes to carefully recall the scene just now.

If he could also comprehend Conqueror's Haki infusion, his strength would definitely increase by a large margin.

Shanks raised 【Gryphon】 again, hacking down with force, black lightning erupting from the blade's edge.

"Hahaha!!!"

Shanks looked up and laughed, a sense of immense heroism surging from the bottom of his heart.

He clearly felt his Conqueror's Haki becoming stronger.

Chu Yang suddenly opened his eyes and clenched his fists, black lightning also wrapping around them.

Shanks's laughter stopped abruptly!

He stared, dumbfounded, at the Conqueror's Haki wrapping around Chu Yang's fists.

……

Soul Reaper World.

Recently, a medium named Don Kanonji had appeared on television, and he was quite the sensation; classmates in class were all imitating the guy's signature moves.

It was like a cult organization preaching.

Even Chad, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was having a blast playing along.

Tonight, Don Kanonji was going to live-stream an exorcism at an abandoned hospital, and Chad even asked Chu Yang if he wanted to go watch together, but was flatly refused by Chu Yang.

He had no interest in that half-baked guy.

Chu Yang wanted to go to the Urahara Shop to find Kisuke Urahara and learn something about Soul Reapers, but no matter how he asked Rukia, she adamantly refused to tell him the location of the shop.

Kisuke Urahara seemed to be avoiding him.

But it didn't matter; according to the pace of the plot, Kisuke Urahara would soon have nowhere to hide.

Thinking of this, Chu Yang's gaze turned to a classmate named Uryu Ishida.

This last remaining Quincy in the living world would soon cause a very big stir in Karakura Town.

The so-called Quincy are a group of people who have the ability to absorb spirit particles from the external environment and construct them into weapons to eliminate Hollows.

Quincy are different from Soul Reapers; the former completely eliminate Hollows, erasing them from the world, while the latter purify the sins of Hollows.

The spirit particles of a completely eliminated Hollow also disappear entirely, failing to enter the cycle between the Soul Society and the living world, thereby affecting the balance of souls.

Therefore, 200 years ago, Soul Reapers launched a massacre against the Quincy.

In the end, only a few people were left to continue to this day.

Uryu Ishida is the last remaining Quincy in the living world.

The above statement comes from the Soul Reapers.

But in fact, the authenticity of this statement remains to be verified.

Because the ancestor of the Quincy, Yhwach, once led the Quincy to invade the Soul Society a thousand years ago, causing a great disturbance.

But Yhwach's ambition was not achieved; he fell under the blade of the founder and Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13—Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

Otherwise, the current Soul Society might be the world of the Quincy.

Perhaps because the existence of the Quincy would be a hidden danger, the Soul Reapers took drastic measures to completely exterminate them.

As for the real reason, I'm afraid only the person who gave the order knows.

As the last remaining Quincy, Uryu Ishida is an extremely important character.

Chu Yang had been silently observing him.

The next day.

The incident where Ichigo and the others caused a scene at the abandoned hospital last night made it onto the news, and they were called to the principal's office and given a stern lecture.

All day today, Uryu Ishida's gaze was fixed on Ichigo Kurosaki.

A few more days passed.

After school, Chu Yang sat in the classroom, waiting quietly.

Seeing him alone, Chad asked, "Yang, it's not your turn for cleaning duty today, aren't you leaving?"

Chu Yang shook his head and said, "I'll sit for a while longer."

Chad was a bit puzzled, nodded, and turned to walk out of the classroom.

At this time, Orihime Inoue tilted her head and glanced at Chu Yang; more than half the semester had passed, and she still hadn't spoken to him.

"Orihime, what are you still looking at? Let's go."

Hearing her friend's call, Orihime Inoue hesitated for a moment, gave up the idea of greeting Chu Yang, and walked out of the classroom.

However, not long after she left, Chu Yang sensed an unusual spiritual pressure appearing at the school.

But he didn't move, only circulating his breathing technique to keep himself in the state of Full Concentration Constant.

This Hollow that appeared at the school would eventually be dealt with by Orihime Inoue, who had awakened her Fullbring, so he didn't need to intervene.

More importantly, he had no interest.

This Hollow, like the one that had been a murderer a while ago, couldn't withstand the power of his Source Breathing.

After a while.

A crack suddenly appeared in the sky.

The crack continued to expand and extend, like a shattered mirror.

A large number of Hollows fell from the crack, descending upon Karakura Town.

The corners of Chu Yang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an excited smile.

"Finally here."

……

To prove that Quincy are stronger than Soul Reapers and that this world doesn't need Soul Reapers, Uryu Ishida lured countless Hollows.

But the more Hollows there were, the more he began to find himself overwhelmed.

Uryu Ishida realized the insufficiency of his own power.

Ichigo Kurosaki urged him to put aside his prejudices and join forces to eliminate these Hollows.

Otherwise, all of Karakura would be in imminent danger.

In the end, Uryu Ishida chose to cooperate with Ichigo Kurosaki.

Both of them were very strong, and their first cooperation showed powerful tacit understanding; those Hollows that had descended upon the living world were eliminated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If things went smoothly, it wouldn't be long before everything returned to normal.

Unfortunately...

Heaven does not always grant one's wishes.

The crack in the void suddenly opened wide, and a pair of large hands reached out from inside, gripping the edges of the crack and exerting force.

The sky was like a piece of paper torn in half by someone, revealing a huge void.

Deep within the void, a Hollow several hundred meters tall poked its head out, staring fixedly at Ichigo Kurosaki and the others before it.

Although obscured by a mask, Ichigo Kurosaki always felt that the Menos Grande was laughing, laughing wantonly and rampantly.

Uryu Ishida was trembling.

Having been a Quincy for so many years, he had eliminated quite a few Hollows.

But he had never seen a Hollow of such immense size.

Let alone him.

Rukia, who had been a Soul Reaper for decades, hadn't seen one either; she had only seen them in passing in textbooks when she was studying at the Soul Reaper Academy.

Menos Grande!

If a Hollow continuously devours other Hollows and the number reaches a certain level, it will evolve into a Menos Grande.

Menos Grande usually exist within Hueco Mundo and are divided into three stages.

The first stage of Menos Grande is called Gillian, ranked as lower-level, characterized by a huge body, slow movements, and intelligence similar to a beast; in most cases, their actions are driven by instinct.

The second stage, intermediate Menos Grande, is called Adjuchas, with combat power several times that of a Gillian, possessing higher intelligence, and leading a large group of Gillians in the form of a leader.

The evolution method of Adjuchas is still similar to that of Gillians, still requiring constant devouring of their peers.

After becoming an Adjuchas, if one does not continuously devour Hollows of the same level, a regression phenomenon will occur, regressing into a Gillian; an Adjuchas can never evolve again.

An Adjuchas that has devoured to the limit does not necessarily continue to evolve; it is possible to continue to exist in the form of an Adjuchas.

Only a very small number of Adjuchas will complete the transformation, breaking through the limit to become a high-level Menos Grande.

High-level Menos Grande, which is the third stage of Hollows, is called Vasto Lorde.

The size of a Vasto Lorde is much smaller compared to the first two; the higher the level of the Hollow, the stronger the combat power, and the body shape is closer to that of a human.

A Hollow of this level already possesses combat power above that of a Soul Reaper captain.

The huge Hollow that appeared from the crack in the sky was a Gillian.

Huge in size, low in intelligence, but with astonishing destructive power.

The spiritual pressure generated by the fusion and condensation of hundreds of Hollows alone was enough to suppress everyone present.

Rukia intended to go up and help, but was pinned in place by Kisuke Urahara, who told her not to cause trouble.

A mass of red light appeared in front of the Gillian's mask, very similar to the state of Tailed Beasts using Tailed Beast Bombs in the Naruto world.

Cero!

A beam of light condensed after highly concentrating spiritual pressure, with very powerful destructive power.

The power of the Cero could directly destroy the park where Ichigo and the others were.

The red light gradually became dazzling.

Just as Ichigo was about to rush up to take this move, a figure appeared in front of the Menos Grande. Chu Yang, holding a wooden sword, rushed excitedly toward the Gillian.

Under the shroud of red light, Source Breathing erupted with brilliant silver light.

Chu Yang was like a meteor cutting through the dark night.

The next second.

The Gillian suddenly took a step back, with a tendency to retreat directly back to Hueco Mundo.

It had no wisdom, only the instincts of a Hollow.

Its instincts were in fear! However.

Its huge size made the Gillian's movements very slow.

Before it had even retreated halfway, Chu Yang had already rushed in front of it.

The Gillian could only release the Cero with all its might.

After the light of the Cero reached its peak, the red light filling the sky pressed down above Chu Yang's head! Chu Yang held the sword with both hands, a rising slash! From bottom to top, the brilliant silver light was like a dragon soaring and flying, tearing through the red light formed by the Cero with the force of a falling leaf! The light band like the Milky Way spiraled and wrapped up along the Gillian's body!

"Roar!!!"

"Ah!!!"

Hundreds of different screams came from within the Gillian's body; some sounded like humans, some like beasts, some male, some female, some old, some young.

All kinds of voices intertwined.

Countless people wailing in your ears, making one's hair stand on end.

"What is going on?"

Kisuke Urahara was also shocked by the scene before him.

Hollows are either killed or purified, both of which are instantaneous; there has never been a scene of being tortured by pain like this.

Unless it's in Hell...

"What kind of pain would make a Hollow make such a sound?"

Rukia was trembling all over, her eyes full of fear.

If the two of them were like this, let alone how terrified Ichigo Kurosaki and Uryu Ishida were inside.

Having spent more than half a semester together, Ichigo now looked at Chu Yang's back and felt it was so unfamiliar.

The Gillian was collapsing and decomposing.

Countless Hollows flew out from its body.

Each Hollow had light bands wrapped around it; looking at it, it was like a sky full of stars.

The Gillian failed to escape back to Hueco Mundo.

Its huge body gradually disappeared like foam blown away by a strong wind.

"His attacks seem to cause extreme pain to spiritual bodies."

The previous wailing seemed to still be in his ears; Kisuke Urahara's expression was grave, as Chu Yang always used actions to overturn his views time and time again.

"What kind of impact will this guy have on the Soul Society in the future?"

In addition to worry, Kisuke Urahara also had uncontrollable curiosity about Chu Yang.

He decided to have a good conversation with this human.

Late at night, in the early morning.

Kisuke Urahara took the initiative to find Chu Yang.

This time, he came in only after knocking on the door.

Before Chu Yang could ask his purpose, Kisuke Urahara spoke first.

"Young man, are you interested in making a deal with me?"

…………………

"Even after transmigrating, I still couldn't escape the fate of being a wage slave..."

Chu Yang, wearing a black suit, was holding a cup of coffee, standing on the rooftop of the company building, complaining with a bitter face: "Ha, forgot that here it's not called a wage slave, but a corporate slave."

The weather today was very nice, the sunlight shining on people, warm, but Chu Yang's heart was cold, because his salary for last month and the month before last hadn't been paid yet.

"Sure enough, you're here again." A heavy, weathered voice sounded behind Chu Yang, the tone flat, as if indifferent to everything.

Chu Yang turned his head and saw a blond man wearing glasses walking over.

He waved his hand and replied listlessly: "So it's Nanami-senpai, you scared me."

Nanami-senpai walked to Chu Yang's side, looking at the bright weather with him, and then said: "The weather is so nice it's annoying..."

"Hahaha." Chu Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In the whole company, only this person in front of him was still a bit interesting.

Nanami-senpai asked: "Since you hate life now so much, why don't you just leave?"

Chu Yang stretched and sneered: "Senpai, other companies are about the same, it's just jumping from one quagmire into another."

Nanami-senpai nodded and said: "Well said, it's all a pile of shit."

Chu Yang scratched his head and said: "Senpai, you really like to use shit to describe everything."

Nanami-senpai said indifferently: "Working is shit, labor is also shit."

Chu Yang asked curiously: "Senpai, you seem to hate work even more than I do, so why do you still do this line of work?"

Nanami-senpai said sincerely: "The financial industry makes a lot of money, I want to earn some before I'm forty, and then live in a country with low prices and celebrate life."

Chu Yang commented noncommittally: "This ideal really suits you quite well."

Nanami-senpai glanced at Chu Yang, then prepared to leave. Before going downstairs, he said: "If you don't plan to jump off the building or change jobs, it's better to return to your workstation quickly."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

"A guy with a cold face but a warm heart, he came up to find me specifically because he was afraid I'd jump off the building, right?"

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, we're nowhere near that point yet!"

Chu Yang grinned, stretched, and threw the paper cup in his hand away.

After work.

After everyone else had left, Nanami-senpai suddenly appeared next to Chu Yang's seat.

Chu Yang was very surprised.

Usually, as soon as work was over, Nanami-senpai would leave immediately.

After all, his life motto was not to work overtime.

"Yang-kun, I plan to resign."

"Stop joking, Senpai."

"It's true, before I go, I want to tell you one thing: if you can't take it anymore in the future, just leave. Although the outside world is also shit, at least you can find some shit that's easier on the eyes."

"Senpai, why so suddenly..."

"Yesterday, I went to the bakery to buy bread as usual, the clerk there had a sore shoulder, and I helped her out."

"And then?"

"She said thank you to me."

Chu Yang looked at Nanami-senpai, and after a long silence, asked cautiously: "Nanami Kento-senpai, are you planning to work at a massage parlor?"

Nanami Kento: "..."

"Hmph!" Nanami Kento snorted coldly and turned to leave.

He now knew that his worry for Chu Yang was superfluous; this guy was much stronger than he looked on the surface.

"Resign..."

Chu Yang sat for a while, thinking about these two words, his heart becoming more and more agitated.

In the end, he took his briefcase and rushed downstairs.

"Nanami-senpai, which massage parlor are you going to? I want to go check it out too!"

Nanami Kento, who had already reached the company gate, heard Chu Yang's voice, his eyelids twitching with anger.

He looked up suddenly, preparing to scold someone, but found that Chu Yang's aura had suddenly disappeared.

Nanami Kento's expression changed, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

He loosened his tie with one hand and reached for his waist with the other to search for his briefcase.

"Although I'm not officially back to being a jujutsu sorcerer, it's past working hours now, and what I hate most is working overtime!"

Nanami Kento pulled a weapon wrapped in cursed bindings from his waist and walked back into the building aggressively.

On the other side, Chu Yang was still going downstairs.

His calves were starting to ache, but he still hadn't reached the bottom.

This staircase suddenly seemed to have no end.

Chu Yang sensed something unusual, stopped slowly, and leaned half his body out to look down.

Below was a staircase spiraling round and round.

"Our company seems to only have five floors..."

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Chu Yang walked back, muttering: "It's still early to go home now, might as well go back and work some overtime to cultivate my character."

One floor...

Two floors...

Three floors...

Chu Yang counted silently in his heart, and soon exceeded five floors, but he still didn't see his familiar workstation, still wandering in the stairwell.

"Fuck!"

"This is really haunted as hell!"

Chu Yang was on the verge of tears, his whole body starting to shake. At the same time, the surrounding temperature seemed to be dropping, ripples appeared on the walls of the stairwell, and a huge black shadow condensed on the wall.

Then a pair of hands reached out from the ripples in the wall and directly rested on Chu Yang's shoulders.

Chu Yang's body trembled, and he took a deep breath.

He didn't turn back like the suicidal protagonist in a movie, but instead lowered his head and ran down.

The reason was simple: running down is easier than climbing up, and with his physical fitness, he could last a long time.

Chu Yang ran frantically.

Even though he sprained his ankle halfway because he stepped on the wrong step, he didn't stop for a second.

The black shadow monster in the wall pursued relentlessly!

"Damn you!"

Exercising intensely under extreme fear, his internal organs were almost pushed to his throat, and he was about to vomit.

Gradually, the hands reaching out from the wall were about to touch Chu Yang's shoulders.

Chu Yang kept running, his consciousness beginning to drift.

His soul seemed to fly out of his body, drifting to a distant place.

When Chu Yang came to his senses, he found himself standing in a magnificent palace! Looking back, behind him were all thrones!

Some were shining brightly, some were dilapidated! Where is this? Just as Chu Yang was confused, a surprised voice sounded not far away.

"Yo! Another newcomer is here!"

"Let me see, it's actually a white-collar worker!"

"Doesn't matter what his job is, as long as he's not a student!"

"Finally, an adult has appeared among us!"

Chu Yang looked at the strange figures appearing one after another, but felt an unusual familiarity and intimacy in his heart.

"Haha, being confused is normal, you'll know what's going on soon." A young man wearing a somewhat familiar wizard's robe patted him on the shoulder.

Then countless memories began to emerge in Chu Yang's mind.

"So your world is Jujutsu Kaisen!" Magic Chu Yang patted Jujutsu Chu Yang on the shoulder and sighed: "The timing of your entry into the Soul Palace was really a close call."

Jujutsu Chu Yang let out a long sigh of relief and smiled: "I really envy you for having a normal start, not having to go through such exciting things."

Subsequently, other "Chu Yangs" also gathered together.

Everyone began to share memories from the recent period, as well as abilities that had been significantly improved.

"Conqueror's Haki infusion!"

Naruto Chu Yang looked at Pirate Chu Yang in surprise and said: "You actually comprehended Conqueror's Haki infusion? Doesn't that mean our strength has reached the level of a Four Emperors?"

Pirate Chu Yang laughed and said: "It's not that exaggerated, the Haki is still a big gap away in terms of intensity."

"Wait a little longer, now that there's one more person, the Haki improvement will become faster, and in a while, we might be able to catch up to the Four Emperors."

Demon Slayer Chu Yang patted Naruto Chu Yang on the shoulder and smiled: "Didn't you also have a full harvest, learning so many secret techniques."

"Earth-Style: Light-Weight Rock Technique, Puppet Technique, Gengetsu Hozuki's Steam Danger Tyrant, and so many Lightning-Style ninjutsu..."

Naruto Chu Yang sighed, "It's a pity I couldn't get Particle Style, that thing is the real big killer."

"We'll talk about it next time we have a chance." Magic Chu Yang spread his hands and mocked himself: "After learning the Light-Weight Rock Technique, my flying broomstick will probably gather dust from now on."

Naruto Chu Yang asked curiously: "Can you dismantle the flight principle of the flying broomstick, add the Light-Weight Rock Technique, and optimize it? I think it should have miraculous effects."

Magic Chu Yang sighed: "As expected of the same person, our thoughts coincide. If it weren't for the fact that spells are difficult to cast without a wand, I would have wanted to dismantle it and ninjutsu, and try to fuse them into our own spellcraft."

Soul Reaper Chu Yang came over at this time and said: "I'm about to enter the Soul Society, and I plan to find a way to stay there and become a Soul Reaper. When the time comes, I can try adding Kido."

Magic Chu Yang said in surprise: "Become a Soul Reaper? Isn't that a bit too dangerous?"

"No choice." Soul Reaper Chu Yang said helplessly: "At first I also planned to avoid the Soul Society and choose a more stable life, but now there is no way to avoid it."

"I ignored one problem, and that is that my soul is an abnormal existence for the living world."

"With the continuous addition of newcomers, my soul's spiritual pressure will continue to grow, and my existence itself will naturally restrain Soul Reapers. If I don't become a Soul Reaper, the Soul Society will sooner or later treat me as a Hollow."

Magic Chu Yang realized, then smiled: "Becoming a Soul Reaper is also a pretty good choice."

Pirate Chu Yang frowned and said: "You chose to become a Soul Reaper, then what about the Thousand-Year Blood War later? You don't want to bet your safety on Ichigo Kurosaki, do you?"

Soul Reaper Chu Yang shook his head and said: "Of course not, I won't entrust my life to anyone, so I need your help."

Hearing this, every "Chu Yang" focused their gaze on him. Soul Reaper Chu Yang looked at Naruto Chu Yang and said solemnly: "I need the Six Paths Power!"

Naruto Chu Yang frowned: "Six Paths Power? Are you talking about the power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Soul Reaper Chu Yang teased: "Can you get the Ten-Tails now?"

Naruto Chu Yang rolled his eyes, "Keep dreaming!"

Pirate Chu Yang joined in the fun: "Set a small goal, if it comes true, everyone can just lie flat."

Demon Slayer Chu Yang smacked his lips, "I'm already lying flat, what should I do?"

"Stop messing around." Soul Reaper Chu Yang shook his head and laughed, "I'm not talking about the power of the Sage of Six Paths in his prime, you can understand it as the state Naruto was in later."

Magic Chu Yang thought for a while and said: "It's the special state of activating the Sage of Six Paths chakra in Sage Mode. I remember that in that state, one can use Yin-Yang Release."

"Creating all things from nothing and bestowing life is even more terrifying than Wood Release."

"The nine Tailed Beasts were created by the Sage of Six Paths using Yin-Yang Release."

"That's right." Soul Reaper Chu Yang explained: "If you don't count the Ten-Tails, that's almost the strongest state of the Sage of Six Paths. As a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths, one can trace that power from the bloodline."

Magic Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, "You don't want to learn from Madara Uchiha..."

Soul Reaper Chu Yang nodded and said: "He could obtain the Rinnegan through some Hashirama cells, which proves that my idea is feasible, and we will do better than him."

Naruto Chu Yang asked suspiciously: "Why do you say that?"

Soul Reaper Chu Yang pointed at Pirate Chu Yang and smiled: "Because the Pirate world can find lineage factor technology. Whether it's Vegapunk or Sanji's father—Vinsmoke Judge, they are all stronger than Orochimaru in this regard."

The "Chu Yangs" from other worlds gasped upon hearing this.

Pirate Chu Yang widened his eyes, "You really dare to think!"

Soul Reaper Chu Yang looked around; everyone is the same person, what they are thinking, you can guess just by looking at their expressions.

Everyone is very tempted!

Soul Reaper Chu Yang revealed a smug smile.

"It's definitely worth a try."

Magic Chu Yang, as the think tank and logistics researcher, was the first to nod in agreement.

One after another, "Chu Yangs" expressed their agreement.

Only Pirate Chu Yang said with a bitter face: "Lineage factor technology is not so easy to get. The Vinsmoke family is like nomads, running around everywhere with no fixed abode. Let alone Vegapunk, that's a core researcher of the World Government!"

Soul Reaper Chu Yang winked at him and said: "Shanks's background is extraordinary, if it doesn't work, try going through his back door."

"Get lost, why don't you go through his back door!"

"We are all one person, doesn't you going mean me going?"

"I have no interest in that, if you want to go, go yourself."

"You two better be talking about a proper back door."

Everyone started complaining in a cacophony.

This plan was still decided. After all, the Six Paths Power is right there, who isn't greedy? As the ceiling of combat power in the Naruto world, the Sage of Six Paths has already surpassed the combat power structure of that world and touched the soul level.

It belongs to the same level as the Soul Reaper world.

He himself has transcended reincarnation, and his true combat power is already immeasurable. If you add the power of the Ten-Tails, it's really hard to imagine how strong he is.

It's just that I don't know who is stronger between the Sage of Six Paths in his prime and the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

But it is certain that if Soul Reaper Chu Yang obtains the Six Paths Sage Mode, plus Source Breathing and Conqueror's Haki infusion, then he will be stronger than most Soul Reaper captains.

It should be no problem to protect himself in the Thousand-Year Blood War.

"I really envy you guys, living such a flavorful life."

Marvel Chu Yang sighed.

"If it really doesn't work, how about you join my logistics team?"

Magic Chu Yang smiled.

Both of them have relatively ideal research environments, one at Hogwarts and one at Stark Industries, one representing magic and one representing technology.

"Magic plus technology seems to have more potential?"

Soul Reaper Chu Yang's eyes lit up, and he started to let his imagination run wild again!

"It's not very stable on my side either." Marvel Chu Yang scratched his head and said: "I've been targeted by Nick Fury, he always wants to get me into S. H. I. E. L. D."

"S. H. I. E. L. D. has been completely infiltrated by Hydra, should I learn from Captain America, go in and shout 'Hail Hydra', and play a spy game?"

Magic Chu Yang reminded him: "I have already found a substitute formula for the wand core. When I learn the three Unforgivable Curses, you can control Hydra through the Imperius Curse."

Marvel Chu Yang suddenly became interested.

Unlike other worlds, there are many ordinary people in the Marvel world, and they cannot resist the Imperius Curse.

Casting the Imperius Curse here won't be investigated, it's just that the Sorcerer Supreme might notice it afterwards.

The Cruciatus Curse is also unrestricted.

"Wait until you learn the Imperius Curse, I don't want to get into this mess now." Marvel Chu Yang said: "Right now, learning knowledge is more important, especially knowledge about the Iron Man suit and the Arc Reactor."

Magic Chu Yang grinned, "I saw you in college in my memory, it felt pretty good."

Marvel Chu Yang shrugged, "About the same as you at Hogwarts."

Magic Chu Yang said: "A little advice, when you really have a chance to control Hydra, find a way to get the Tesseract and the Scepter."

"The energy of the Tesseract can create a Captain Marvel, and the Mind Stone in the Scepter can create Vision. We can fully utilize such powerful power."

"The other Infinity Stones can be ignored, so as not to attract Thanos in advance."

Marvel Chu Yang nodded.

At this time, fog rose in the palace, and everyone knew it was time to leave.
