"Roar, Snake Tail Maru."
Renji Asanai held the Zanpakuto with his right hand and brushed the back of the Zanpakuto with his left hand. The next moment, the Zanpakuto changed shape into a double-edged snake belly sword.
It was like a machete with six serrations extending from it and a total of seven sections.
After the release, Renji Asanai held the Zanpakuto and slashed at Natsuhiko.
Natsuhiko tipped his toes and easily dodged and landed behind.
But as soon as his feet landed, the Zanpakuto in Renji Asanai's hand suddenly elongated and the blades flew out, connected by steel cables, and slashed at Natsuhiko.
Natsuhiko's body shook slightly and dodged the attack, but the Snake Tail Maru suddenly wrapped around Natsuhiko, and three blades connected to the steel cables surrounded Natsuhiko.
Just as the blades were about to touch Natsuhiko's skin, Natsuhiko's figure disappeared and jumped up.
In mid-air, the Snake Tail Maru below circled again and strangled Natsuhiko.
But Natsuhiko stepped lightly on the blade and disappeared with a whoosh. He appeared in front of Renji Asanai with the Zanpakuto in his hand across his neck.
"I lost."
Renji Asanai put down the Zanpakuto in his hand, and the Snake Tail Maru changed back to the shape of a sword.
Natsuhiko said with a smile: "It's not bad. You can master Shikai after two years in the team."
Renji Asanai said with a wry smile: "Even Shikai is not as good as you. I can't even touch the corner of your clothes."
Natsuhiko shook his head and said: "Your Snake Tail Maru is very powerful, but it has a drawback. It can only hit three times from a distance and must be taken back.
So I took this opportunity to attack you and take the initiative. "
Renji Asanai looked surprised and asked, "How did you find out? I only used it once."
Natsuhiko naturally couldn't say that he had seen the explanation of his Primordial Enlightenment. He just said, "Because of the gap between attacks, you didn't encircle me after the third extension. I guess you can't make a fourth attack."
Renji Asanai nodded and said, "I see."
"Alright, it's my turn."
Not far away, a figure walked up to Natsuhiko and said with a smile, "Natsuhiko, we haven't fought for a long time."
The newcomer was none other than Ban Mu, the third chief of the Eleven Regiments. Natsuhiko was currently in the Eleven Regiments. Renji Asanai's fate had been changed and he had directly entered the Eleven Regiments. It had been two years since then.
Now, he was the rising star of the Eleven Regiments. Even Kenpachi Motegi had high hopes for him. He trained with Ban Mu all day long, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds.
At this time, Natsuhiko was already twenty years old. He had joined the Covert mobile force for six years. Renji Asanai and others had also graduated for two years.
But Natsuhiko still hadn't mastered the Primordial Enlightenment. He didn't know why Zanpakuto couldn't recognize him.
Natsuhiko was very distressed, but he could only improve his strength step by step. He was very familiar with the Shunbu Hakusha Swordsmanship and Ghost Road.
As for Instant Attack, Sui Feng had already mastered the burst of Ghost Road and the coordination of her body. But how to integrate it with Hakusha to form a unique combat skill still needed to be explored. But it was estimated that it would take one or two years to completely master it.
However, Natsuhiko had mastered some of the techniques of Instant Attack, such as condensing it on his legs to increase his speed and condensing it on his arms to increase his strength.
Of course, this move was regarded as a secret skill by Natsuhiko and he didn't want to use it easily.
The man stood in front of Natsuhiko, inserted the scabbard on the hilt, and shouted in a low voice: "Extend Ghost Lantern Maru."
Zanpakuto turned into a long sword, and then the man continued to shout: "Break Ghost Lantern Maru."
As his words fell, the long sword split and turned into a three-section stick, but one of the sections had a wooden stick and a blade.
The man held the first section in his left hand and the section with the blade in his right hand. He stepped forward and stared at Natsuhiko.
Seeing this scene, Natsuhiko pulled out Zanpakuto, stepped on the ground with his toes, and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was in front of the man.
"So fast."
The man's eyes shrank, and his left hand clenched the end of the nunchaku and raised it in front of Zanpakuto.
Boom.
Zanpakuto cut on the three-section stick, making a muffled sound. The next moment, the first section of the man's right hand stabbed at Natsuhiko's face.
Natsuhiko didn't dodge, pulled back Zanpakuto, and slashed horizontally.
Clang.
This was the sound of Natsuhiko cutting the blade, stopping the other party's stab.
The man's left hand hit again and pointed at Natsuhiko, but it was blocked by Natsuhiko's Zanpakuto.
The man's hands moved and he kept attacking with the stick and the sword, but they were all blocked.
But Natsuhiko didn't attack. He only used a Zanpakuto to block and block the man's attack.
The man changed his attack method and used the three-section stick to attack Natsuhiko, but Natsuhiko reacted quickly and dodged calmly.
The two fought for more than a hundred moves, and there was no winner. The man took a step back and said, "Stop, I still can't beat you."
Natsuhiko said with a smile, "But I can't beat the man either."
"Is that so?"
The man took back his Zanpakuto and sighed, and said, "Five and a half years ago, you challenged me and forced me to use the first form of Shikai with Two-Blade School, and you lost.
Two years ago, you forced me to use the three-section stick form with Two-Blade School, and you and I fought to a draw.
And now, you can fight me to a draw with a single sword.
If you use Two-Blade School, I'm not your opponent. "
With Natsuhiko's current strength, even if he doesn't use Ghost Road and Two-Blade School, he is already on par with the man.
This is thanks to Natsuhiko's special training with Captain Sui Feng every week. His fighting skills are getting stronger and stronger, and Covert Mobile Force is better at Transient Step. Among all the vice-captains, no one can compare with Natsuhiko in terms of movement speed and attack speed.
Compared with the Shinigami who is good at head-on combat like the man, his speed has a great advantage.
Moreover, the man's Zanpakuto is a direct attack type, and it can't add strength and speed, and it's not even as diverse as Renji Asanai's Shikai.
If dealing with Matsumoto Anemone's Shikai, Natsuhiko can't deal with it with his current performance, even if he uses Two-Blade School.
Including Itsuru Kira's Shikai, Shiba Petrel's Shikai, and Jiro's Shikai in the future, Natsuhiko can't deal with them.
Natsuhiko said to the man: "But I haven't mastered Shikai yet."
The man smiled and said, "Maybe your Shikai is very powerful."
"I hope so."
Natsuhiko's heart was a little depressed. He knows that his strength will go up another level after completely mastering Momo.
But Momo is an extension of the White Fighting Technique, Natsuhiko still hopes to master Zanpakuto.
But seven years, he has got Zanpakuto for seven years, but he can't Shikai, Natsuhiko is very discouraged.
Sixth Level Spiritual Pressure, Vice-Captain level strength, why can't he be recognized?
Renji Asanai mastered Shikai, Hisagi Shuhei mastered Shikai, why can't he do it?
Natsuhiko thought of this and felt a little discouraged. He bowed to the man and said: "Senpai, if there's nothing else, I will go back first."
Renji Asanai came over and put his arm around Natsuhiko's shoulder and said: "Don't go, let's go drink later, I'll treat you."
Natsuhiko waved his hand and said: "Not today, I have to go back to deal with official business."
"Okay."
Renji Asanai nodded and said with a smile: "Then the next time we meet, I will be stronger."
"Okay."
Natsuhiko was looking forward to it. After saying goodbye, he walked to the door and was about to go out, but he was blocked by a figure in front of him.
"Little brat, your strength has surpassed Senpai?"
Kenpachi Motegi looked down at Natsuhiko with a grin on his face.
Natsuhiko replied modestly: "Captain Zaraki, I just barely tied with Senpai."
"No, you are indeed stronger than him."
Kenpachi Motegi grinned and said: "So, I will be your opponent today."
Kenpachi Motegi is my opponent?
What is Captain Zaraki talking about?
How can I beat him, even if I use an incomplete Momo, I can't beat him.
Natsuhiko quickly said: "Captain Zaraki, how can I be your opponent, please …"
Before Natsuhiko could finish his words, he could only stop and fear appeared on his face.
In front of Natsuhiko, Kenpachi Motegi raised the sword in his hand and said with a grin on his face: "Hypocritical brat, since you are not my opponent?
Then you can only die here. "
With Kenpachi Motegi's words, the long sword in his hand suddenly fell and slashed at Natsuhiko's head.
