Chapter 314: Fateful Showdown

"Yes, teacher!"

Ichigo straightened his back immediately after hearing what Aizen said.

Unlike the Shinigami, Quincy and Hollows present, he was born into a family of Shinigami and Quincy.

Although he had a happy family and a happy childhood, he had no companions since he was a child and had been growing up alone.

Although the love of his parents made up for some regrets, Ichigo still longed for the attention of others.

Until he met the man in front of him in Soul Society.

Gentle and humble, wise and elegant, kind and polite...

The other party's attitude towards him made Ichigo realize the sincerity of strangers that he had never felt before.

Therefore, after getting along for a while, when Aizen asked for teaching, Ichigo agreed without thinking.

In this regard, Shiba Isshin and his wife also agreed happily.

In their eyes, Mr. Aizen, who can easily control the captain, can be said to be one of the smartest people in the three realms.

It is really reassuring to have such a person teach their son.

Isshin was so excited that he bowed and thanked him on the spot:

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Aizen!"

The Kisaragi next to him grinned, stretched out his hand and poked Aizen's shoulder, indicating:

"See what I said?"

"He has to thank us."

At first, Aizen was very resistant to someone forcing Ichigo to him.

But after trying to teach him for a while, Aizen found that Ichigo was much smarter than his father, and he could easily master a lot of scientific research knowledge.

Not only that, his spiritual power talent was far beyond that of ordinary Shinigami.

Like Ichigo in the parallel world, he was born with the qualifications to become a soul king, and his body contained unimaginable powerful power.

If other Shinigami gain more powerful power through practice, then Ichigo constantly unlocks the power in his body through practice.

When he has completed his own development, he will naturally become a transcendent.

It can be said that Ichigo is the most magical existence he has ever seen, except for a certain reckless man.

Aizen seriously suspects that the appearance of Ichigo has a lot to do with the soul king.

After he came back from the parallel world, he had the idea of ​​promoting the birth of Ichigo in his own world, but under the persuasion of Kisaragi Akira, he chose to let it develop naturally.

But even so, Ichigo was still born.

He gathered the powerful power of the five combined forces of the Shinigami, Quincy, Hollow, Fullbring, and Hell, and was an unprecedented transcendent existence.

…………

The blood-stained Komamura fell to the ground after enduring a New Year's greeting sword technique from Kenpachi Zaraki, and lost consciousness on the spot.

Similarly, Kenpachi Zaraki was also seriously injured.

This guy is like this, he can obviously burst out with stronger power to solve the opponent in an instant.

But in order to enjoy the pleasure brought by the fight, he suppressed his pressure to the same level as his opponent.

In the end, he was also covered with bruises.

He carried the big dog Wangjiang on his shoulders and left the venue directly.

They were both from the 11th Division, and they often fought each other privately. On the surface, it seemed very cruel, but in fact, the friendship was still very good.

Even a reckless man like Kenpachi Zaraki occasionally helps Komamura Sajin walk the sword-carrying dog named Goro.

It is worth mentioning that under the influence of Komamura Sajin, Goro also trains with the soldiers of the 11th Division.

Now, he can fight against lower-ranking officers with his superb swordsmanship.

This also caused many Shinigami soldiers to wail that they were not as good as dogs, and they put most of their energy into training, hoping to defeat Goro one day.

Next to appear.

Ichigo Shiba, the son of the captain of the 10th Division, and Grimmjow Jakejac, one of the Ten Espadas of Hueco Mundo.

"Why is there a little kid here?"

Looking at Ichigo, who is half a head shorter than him, Grimmjow was a little dissatisfied.

He looked at the platform and shouted to Kisaragi Akira:

"Your Majesty, I want to change my opponent."

"This kid looks too weak. If he can't control his strength, I'm afraid he will be killed!"

Kisaragi Akira shook his head and reminded:

"Don't underestimate Ichigo. He is very strong."

"How about this, if you can win, I will let you be No. 1?"

Hearing this, Grimmjow was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at the boy in front of him a few more times.

Because he was often beaten, he knew Kisaragi Akira very well.

Although his majesty was unreliable on weekdays, he was still very sincere. He rarely lied to his subordinates, but he would lie to Lord Aizen from time to time.

So, since His Majesty said so, there must be a reason for it.

This kid should be more than what he looks like on the surface.

Thinking of this, Grimmjow immediately became alert, and his spiritual pressure lingered on his body, emitting a deep blue light, and his momentum was overwhelming.

"Kid, since His Majesty has spoken, I will not show mercy."

"If you surrender early, you can avoid physical pain."

Ichigo shook his head and said calmly:

"I promised my teacher that I would perform well this time."

Seeing that the other party did not appreciate it, Grimmjow's expression became fierce, and the violent spiritual pressure swept around him like a storm.

The dazzling beam of light shot straight into the sky.

Just like the previous competition, he took out his trump card at the beginning.

"Squeak, Leopard King!"

As the spiritual pressure storm dissipated, a leopard man covered in white tight bone armor appeared in the center of the venue, with a powerful momentum, causing the audience on the stage to cheer.

Although Grimmjow was not a favorite to win the championship, his strength was considered strong among many players, and according to rumors, he seemed to have never used his full strength.

Therefore, many people were optimistic about this Espada.

Especially since his opponent looked like an underage.

He was just a brat, how strong could he be? Do you really think everyone is His Majesty Kisaragi? !

Facing Grimmjow's spiritual pressure, Ichigo still maintained a calm expression, calm to the extreme.

He saw the five fingers of his right hand open, and a large amount of spirit particles gathered on them, and in an instant, a sharp spirit longbow was condensed.

Unlike the regular spirit longbows of the Quincies, Ichigo's spirit longbow was more like a blade emitting cold light in a sense.

Grimmjow frowned slightly, and the opponent's posture gave him a bad premonition.

Without much hesitation, he threw out an ordinary hollow flash with his backhand to test Ichigo's strength.

What he didn't expect was that a little shinigami wearing a death suit actually shot several spirit arrows with his backhand at the moment of the hollow flash.

The light beams collided in the center of the venue, bursting out a violent impact, and directly detonated the air.

The violent roar ignited the atmosphere of the venue again.

Grimmjow widened his eyes, never expecting that his hollow flash would be blocked by Ichigo's casual attack, and what was even more outrageous was...

This guy's spiritual pressure!

At the moment Ichigo shot the spirit arrow, Grimmjow keenly sensed the breath of death. He had only felt this feeling on Kisaragi Akira.

Could it be that this kid is at the same level as His Majesty?

Are you kidding? !

Claw of the Panther King!

A huge blue light mark extended from his fingertips, and a sharp feeling burst out, as if it was going to tear the surrounding space apart.

Grimmjow activated the ringing, and the explosion sounded throughout the venue, and he instantly appeared in front of Ichigo.

The ferocious smile was close at hand, and he seemed to see the scene of the little devil in front of him being severely defeated by him.

The danger just now was just an illusion.

However, at the moment when the Panther King's Claw fell, the front suddenly became empty, and the light mark fell on the ground, plowing out deep gullies.

Ichigo disappeared out of thin air, and with it, there was also the explosion of the ringing.

"It's over, Mr. Grimmjow."

Ichigo's voice sounded behind Grimmjow. He did not pull the bowstring like other Quincies, but held the spirit longbow and swung it forward fiercely.

The black crescent-shaped sword pressed on the bow and burst, instantly tearing the air apart.

Grimmjow sensed the danger coming, and instinctively swung the Panther King's Claw to try to resist the opponent's attack.

However, the azure light mark that could cut through anything broke apart the moment it came into contact with the crescent sword pressure, turning into countless spirit particles that scattered into the air.

Although the sword pressure also disappeared, the danger was not over.

A beam of light similar to a virtual flash burst out from the bow, splitting a straight crack in the air, passing through the venue and extending directly to where Grimmjow was.

Caught off guard, Grimmjow was hit head-on, and his skin and flesh were immediately torn apart, and blood splattered.

The steel skin that he was proud of was as fragile as a piece of white paper under Ichigo's attack.

Grimmjow was unwilling to admit defeat, and he regenerated his body at super speed, then started to rotate, and with the indestructible and sharp momentum of the Leopard King's Claw, he suppressed Ichigo for a short time.

But with a shout of a crescent sky rush, Grimmjow fell to the ground, and was submerged by the black spiritual pressure torrent, and countless cracks burst out on his solid body, and the whole person was instantly stained with blood.

Ichigo, who was carefully trained by Aizen, has transformed his potential into strength. Although he has not yet reached the level of a transcendent, he is not far away.

Grimmjow's defeat is understandable.

"The winner is Ichigo Shiba!"

Amid the cheers of the audience, Urahara Kisuke announced the result.

Looking at Grimmjow lying in a pool of blood, Ichigo smiled apologetically, followed the example of Kenpachi Zaraki, reached out to help him up, and left the venue.

After the maintenance staff repaired the dilapidated venue, the martial arts competition continued.

Whether it was Soul Society, Hueco Mundo or the Invisible Empire, all the warlike people took the stage one after another.

The Fourth Division, the Twelfth Division, and the logistics of Hueco Mundo and the Empire were busy stabilizing the loser's injuries in time and restoring the winner's state.

With the blessing of superb medical skills and black technology, there was no serious situation until the finals.

Everything was under control.

In addition to the battle between Komamura Sajin and Kenpachi Zaraki, Rangiku Matsumoto, the third seat of the first team, also contributed a wonderful fight.

Her battle with Harribel almost broke the ghost barrier of the venue.

The spiritual pressure flowed through the cracks and dissipated, covering the entire venue, suffocating the audience, and truly experienced the strength of the top-notch strongmen in the three realms.

However, they have become bloodthirsty audiences, not only without the slightest fear, but also excited one by one, shouting that it is worth the ticket price.

In the end, Harribel was better.

Through the newly developed secondary Hougyoku technology, she mastered the high-end skills of the Hougyoku Ten Blades, and with the advantages of super-speed regeneration and steel skin defense, she completely defeated Rangiku Matsumoto.

"Your Majesty is not yours alone."

Harribel wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and declared her sovereignty to Rangiku Matsumoto.

In addition, there was another group of players that attracted the attention of Akira Kisaragi.

The vice-captain of the 6th Division, Byakuya Kuchiki, and the vice-captain of the 10th Division, Toushirou Hitsugaya.

The two newcomers of Soul Society made their mark in this martial arts tournament and showed strength that was not commensurate with their positions.

They pressed a group of veterans to the ground and rubbed them hard.

Of course, these two were also given special treatment by Akira Kisaragi.

If Aizen focused on teaching Ichigo, then he would have many students all over the world, and the characters that were remembered in his mind had all been taught by him to some extent.

In this regard, everyone kept this kindness in mind, and Akira Kisaragi's status in the three realms continued to rise.

But he himself had no self-awareness of this, and he was happy to slack off all day, and oppressed Urahara Kisuke from time to time.

He was so popular.

As the martial arts tournament progressed, the atmosphere in the venue continued to rise.

Until the finals came.

Urahara Kisuke entered the venue, and his loud voice spread throughout the venue:

"Please invite the contestants to enter--"

"Non-staff member, Ichigo Shiba!"

"Captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki!"

As the voice fell, two figures appeared in the center of the venue, and the imposing aura suddenly surged, and the invisible airflow rolled to both sides, and the strong wind rose from the ground, lifting the clothes and making a rustling sound.

On the high platform, Kisaragi suddenly approached Aizen and grinned:

"Counting it up, Zaraki is also my disciple."

"Do you think he can beat Ichigo?"

Aizen glanced at him with the corner of his eye and analyzed calmly:

"You should know Ichigo's strength better than me."

"Don't say such brainless words in the future."

However, to Aizen's surprise, Kisaragi's smile did not diminish, but became more confident:

"Let's make a bet."

"Ichigo can't win!"

Aizen frowned, suspecting that this guy had done something behind his back without telling him.

Out of experience and caution, he did not bet with Kisaragi.

This guy often creates miracles, who knows if he will fail this time.

Looking at the two figures confronting each other in the venue, for some reason, Aizen's original confidence suddenly decreased a lot.

The five-in-one ultimate hybrid can fight even against Yamamoto. If given some time to develop, he will at least be a spiritual king in the future.

Where does this guy get his confidence from? !

Kenpachi Zaraki's injuries have all recovered, and he looked at Ichigo opposite him with a ferocious and crazy smile.

Ichigo looked at the other party with a serious expression, and his spiritual pressure was brewing instinctively.

Unlike the previous contestants, this guy has a strong sense of danger.

As Kenpachi Zaraki raised the serrated long sword in his hand, his voice also spread throughout the venue:

"Go, Ichigo."

"Let's fight!"
