章節 24: Chapter 24: New Techniques

Three months later......…

After Yun Che's stunt, experts from the nearby cities are sent to Floating Cloud City to look for him and somehow attend Xiao Lie's takeover as the clan head. As for the Xiao Clan, the fourth son of the patriarch, Xiao Kuangyun, visited the branch clan in Floating Cloud City to look for disciples to enter the main clan. He somehow wanted to obtain Xia Qingyue after refusing to believe Xiao Che was the emperor the city feared. The former thought it was a ruse to fool experts into coming to the city.

Ultimately, he was tricked into finding Xiao Che by Xiao Lie, Xiao Lingxi, and Xia Qingyue. Ultimately, his ego won miraculously; he didn't ask for the main clan's help as he wanted to obtain that treasure and those girls without their help. It'll be a festival if he could return to the main clan with them. Xiao Kuangyun leads a Narcent cultivator team searching for Yun Che's last location. Since Yun Che used the flash step, all traces led to nothing. He started to send every expert he knew to the nearby cities to find him.

-------------------------------------------------------

Cyan Mountain Region. (200 miles from Cyan Town.)

Jasmine was sitting on one of the rocks on the mountain. She was wearing a Gigai or false body to hide her soul from being detected by unknown experts. It is also a means for her to roam the outside world as a normal human being. Yun Che provided it for her for 5000SP. After providing her access, she can also go into his inner world whenever she wants. She was relaxing and breathing fresh air after being in Yun Che's world for a while. After relaxing in his inner world for five months, this was her first time in the outside world.

"Ah, this life. Peaceful mountains, fresh air…. "She happily said.

A shadow passed in front of her quickly and collided with a nearby rock formation causing it to crumble.

"Can't this princess have peace of mind for once? Sigh." Jasmine's sweat dropped after seeing the crumbled rock formation then it exploded, revealing a figure emerging from the bottom of it. The figure was wearing a torn black shihakushou with multiple scratches on his body. His hair was still raven shaped, and his red eyes were displayed. The figure was the newly awakened Yuuki or his current alias Yun Che. He was holding a Shikai form of Zangetsu.

"I am not done yet, you stupid cat!!! Oraaaa!!!" He shouted as he made his way to the forest once more.

Jasmine's sweat dropped once more after seeing his childish antics. After he healed her five months ago, her relationship with him was turning for the better. He did piss her off after knowing the effects of being healed by the system. The system healed and empowered Jasmine's soul, costing 20000SP. He was making it stronger than her previous soul condition. The process, however, had its side effect. The side effect was her strength needed time to adapt to her new soul. She'll recover a big realm of her strength every six months. It means she has to stay with him for another eight years to recover her strength from Elementary to the Divine Realms. Since he was her disciple, she was responsible for training him even if he was a bit despicable.

Yun Che had been training by killing monsters from one mountain region to another for the past few months. After he expanded his aura, he discovered that a Peak True Profound Realm demonic beast guarded the mountain region. So, it's a suitable area for him to level up until he fights the high-level boss.

Jasmine's beautiful eyes widened after his aura got stronger after killing demonic beasts. The stronger they are, the faster his aura increase. He explained to her that he was absorbing experience points to help him level up. Hel, he gains experience points for every kill Reishi from the dead demonic beasts—the higher the cultivation, the higher Reishi he gains. However, if he killed innocent people, the system would deduct his experience points and put a negative buff on him. In order words, he will absorb a contaminated Reishi and mess up his experience bar. The contaminated Reishi will create a negative buff, such as decreasing experience points and halving his strength. It ensures he did not go on an innocent killing spree to increase his level.

It makes Jasmine start to wonder. What kind of existence was the system? A true god? Creation god? Or something even higher? She will never know, but that doesn't mean she won't stick around to find out. She sometimes gazes upon the system core from his inner world. It means she is in the presence of a god that can help her disciple attain Godhood from a weak Shinigami. Could it be possible she could benefit from it? If she can, she might step into the realm beyond the realm of the Divines, the realm of a true god.

Yun Che's strength was increasing rapidly despite the 30% gain from every kill. He is now at the Peak of Narscent Profound Realm or Level 30. He gained only five levels in the past three months, and today is the final day of the 30% only negative buff. His rapid killing spree draws even more demonic beasts to the area. Sometimes, he lets Hoyuu take over so he can familiarize himself with his hollow powers. Hoyuu's takeover was three minutes maximum, but due to his killing nature, his level increased by three every time he was done. Since he started at level 25, Yun Che received a 100% permanent increase in his profound spirit force, body, and strength. Thus, making his prowess able to fight a massive realm above him without the help of his Hollow and Evil God powers.

During the last five months, he had been training with all of his spirits aside from going on a rampage killing spree. Yun Che defeated a powered-down Hoyuu five times, earning his first eye-covered hollow mask. His affinity with him was currently 15 points. 10 more before he earned his half-covered hollow mask. Yun Che discovered that every time the former defeated him, his affinity increased by 1. To achieve tailed Vastolorde mode, he must defeat him 100 times. Hoyuu grows even stronger each time he is defeated, which might take a while.

As for Sode No Shirayuki, Yun Che spent almost one-month training in her world because he wanted to get to know her and familiarize them with her powers. For him to master her bankai, she needs to trust him wholeheartedly. However, Yun Che mastered her Bankai in just a month because of her strong feelings for him and with the help of an 'Instant Mastery' cheat from the system. It was a while as Shirayuki was careful not to hurt him with her extreme coldness. He mastered all of her techniques before her mastering the bankai. Due to his lack of spirit force, he can only use her bankai temporarily unless he has something that can be made him immune to the coldness.

A special kind of seed, perhaps?

However, Sogyo No Kotowari, or the Truth of Pisces, refused to train and liked playing with him. It makes training with them a little bit hard. Yun Che didn't want to force them to train, but he needed to master their bankai. It was unknown, even from the Bleach storyline. After baiting them using delicious pills, he got them to train. He discovered that Sogyo No Kotowari's primary ability was manipulating lightning, wind, and water. Could there be more elements they could control, as Pisces is considered two fish swimming in the opposite direction?

Pisces, a water sign, is the last constellation of the twelve zodiacs. It's symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing the constant division of Pisces's attention between fantasy and reality. As the final sign, Pisces has absorbed every lesson — the joys, pains, hopes, and fears — learned by all other signs. These fish are the astrological wheel's most psychic, empathetic, and compassionate creatures. With such immense sensitivity, Pisces can easily become swallowed by emotions and must remember to stay grounded in the material realm. It means their pure heart can become the most violent should he overuse them.

Pisces, the celestial body that governs creativity and dreams, and these ethereal fish adore exploring their boundless imaginations. Their energy is like the energy of the ocean: magical, mysterious, and often scary. The horizon is obstructed when the fog is thick on the water, and there is no differentiation between the sea and the sky.

He knows that it has another ability to deflect attacks because he once saw how Ukitake used it to reverse a cero from an Arrancar. It makes this ability the same as Moon Star Restoration but is Sogyo No Kotowari's exclusive ability. However, mastering its Bankai is easier said than done. Despite learning its truth, he can't simply understand them just yet. Pieces, the celestial body that governs fantasy and reality and the two opposites of life's lessons, had a unique bankai that isn't revealed even in the original story. In the end, he couldn't understand these little girls of him just yet. So, Bankai isn't mastered yet, even after a month spent inside their world.

Then, how in the world was Ukitake Joushirou able to do so?

Zabimaru took the most time out of him. After achieving Bankai, Zabimaru was divided into two spirits. One of the spirits took a form of a woman. She has fur covering her whole body except the area around the top of her breasts. She has long brown hair until her waist and a long tail behind her. She was surprisingly beautiful when he looked at her, but she seemed tomboyish. He nicknamed the first half of Zabimaru Saru as in for Monkey.

Another spirit took the form of a Female Lamia or snake girl. The snake girl, however, has short white hair, an alluring body and legs made up of a long snake tail. Her face was gorgeous. She was polite rather than the other one. This girl had long black hair and a pink water lily on her head. She wore a half-white kimono with red linings alongside a red obi with red straps. Her ears were pointy horizontally alongside a heavenly beauty as a face. Her eyes were indeed red with black vertical pupils alongside two obvious fangs. As a Lamia, she was timid and soft-spoken compared to her other half. Yun Che just nicknamed this lamia Hebi, as in Snake.

As they were training, Yun Che was chased and seduced all the time by these girls claiming him as one of their own. The worst part was that timid Hebi was keen on wrapping him around her tail and discovered he could beat her by grabbing the end of her tail and playing with it. Yun Che never knew the knowledge the man gained from that one anime was enough to turn the tide with this girl. He even forced her to climax with it, and good thing his willpower was strong. Since then, Hebi has become much more confident than her usual timid self. She even took on fake glasses to bolster her odd fashion sense and didn't even stop attacking him alongside her half-sister Saru.

Either way, Yun Che took a lot of time because he defeated Zabimaru's first bankai, and they finally entrusted him with their secondary name. He took another month mastering the first and second.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Boom…boom…

Countless explosions were heard as Yun Che fought the Iron Black Puma, a Third Level Spirit Profound Realm Beast and the current boss of this section of the mountain region. The beast had high defence due to its thick skin, but Yun Che attacked it nonetheless. Using his Sharingan, he can anticipate and avoid Puma's move. Yun Che avoided using his Bankai in this fight because it might attract unwanted attention due to his first time using it in the real world. He remembered that when Ichigo unleashed his Bankai, his energy was detected throughout Soul Society. He must be prepared to introduce it to the world if he wants to use it.

Yun Che continuously used his flash step to avoid Puma's attack.

"Damn, this Puma's quite fast. Even with Evil Soul, my strength resembles a Second Level Spirit cultivator. If I use my hollow powers, I might be able to beat it." Yun Che said in his mind.

He tried levelling up his body by letting the Puma send him flying a few times, but it turns out his body was not levelling up anymore. After being infused with his soul, his body's toughness was comparable to a mid-stage True Profound Realm. He didn't have a body cultivation skill, and his body's toughness couldn't be levelled up just like his soul. He waited for Jasmine to introduce him to 'The Great Way of the Buddha.' He couldn't ask her about it to avoid being suspicious. He just let everything flow naturally.

"This thing has tough skin. What should I do?" Yun Che started to think.

The demonic beast stared at him. If he needs to switch to Zanpakuto, he needs to initiate Jinzen. That alone will require him to sit still; this beast doesn't.

"Wait, there is something I can do."

Yun Che immediately sheath Zangetsu and flash stepped towards the distance.

"Hope I still remember" Yun Che extends his left arm to the front. He immediately channels his spirit force to his left hand. The spirit force started to manifest itself as an energy bow. Quincy's bow usually is blue coloured, but since Yun Che's spirit force fused with his Evil God powers, his spirit force transformed to red.

If he uses a normal Destruction Arrow, his spirit force isn't strong enough to pierce it. He started to channel his spirit force once more. Instead of forming a Destruction Arrow, This arrow differs from usual. The other day, he was experimenting with fusing his Falling Moon Sinking Star with his Kido. He tried something with his Quincy arts, and it somehow works. Falling Moon Sinking Star carries a small amount of destructive power in it. He infused it with his spirit force and shaped it into an arrow. Quincy arrows are usually large and longer compared to regular arrows. He uses much of his spirit force during the fight and has not recovered the rest.

The arrow was ready. It took a while to shape it, and it was time to test it.

Yun Che immediately uses his Sharingan to see the weak point of the Puma. As the beast approached, he breathed, murmuring its name before releasing the arrow.

"Moon Star Destruction Arrow,"

The massive red arrow released from the energy bow from his hands as it travelled faster than the speed of sound. The Puma could not avoid it, and it penetrated one of its eyes.

Boom!!!

The Puma's eye sprouted a large amount of blood and went into a rage due to the pain the explosion caused.

"Holy shit!! That was awesome." Yun Che tried to use the Moon Star Destruction Arrow again but had enough spirit force to use one more. Maintaining the bow and creating the arrow uses a lot of spiritual force.

"One more, please don't miss." Yun Che murmured.

"Roarrr.." The Puma ran towards Yun Che again. This time he tried to aim at its heart. He didn't hope to pierce it but to shatter its thick skin. This way, he can use the Getsuga Tenshou to kill it. Once more, the arrow is now ready. With it, he immediately released the arrow and travelled directly to the Puma's heart region.

Boom!!!

"Score!!!" He immediately dispelled the bow and flash step towards the Puma. The Puma, however, tried to make a run, knowing that its defences were crumbled. The Puma tried to swipe its claw toward Yun Che, but he avoided it easily and pierced his sword towards the beast's heart. It wasn't enough to penetrate it, but his lesson with Zangetsu did give him something instead of using the usual style of Getsuga Tenshou. Hoyuu taught him how to use it by channelling his spirit toward the sword. Yun Che immediately manifests his eye-covered Hollow mask, increasing his strength to the Fifth Level of Spirit Profound Realm.

As it manifests, his hollow mask covers his left eye and has only the upper part of the teeth. It has three red stripes on the upper part of the eye and two stripes underneath it. The eye itself changes to yellow and is surrounded by a black stripe. The hollow mode changes his outer pupils to black, but he still maintains Sharingan on his right eye.

"Getsuga Tenshou!!!!" Yun Che shouted in his hollow voice. His hand started to channel his spirit force, and the sword channelled dark red energy into the body of the Puma. The energy wreaks havoc inside the Puma's body and destroys its internal organ. He immediately flashes step away from the zone. The Puma struggled for a while before succumbing to its wound.

Yun Che's mask started to undo itself after a while. It is why he didn't use his hollow mask from the beginning. His eye-covered hollow mask only lasts him for about three minutes. If he uses it beyond that time, It'll crumble.

[Ding…congratulation, host, for slaying Peak True Profound Realm Iron Black Puma. Experience:.....]

"Man, this is one tough bastard. It was the boss of this region." He slumps the ground, knowing that he has cleared the area from the boss. Yun Che felt his strength increasing a lot after levels. He displays his base status.

----------------------------------------------------

He didn't need to know Zangetsu's progress because he didn't master any new forms from him. He used too much spirit force in his previous fight and didn't manage to use any kido arts. He needed that 'Great Way of the Buddha' to regenerate his spirit force faster.

Jasmine suddenly appears beside him.

"So, how were things?" She asked him. Ever since she lived inside his inner world, her relationship with him has improved. She didn't seem arrogant before him and was more like a mentor right now. They are still bickering, and Yun Che teases her about her body. It reminds him of Ichigo and Rukia's relationship.

"Great, I didn't manage to level up, but still within the Peak of Narcscent Profound Realm. Peak True-level cultivators won't pose a thread. Good thing today is my last day with that debuff." Yun Che explained. For the past three months, Jasmine managed to learn bits about the gaming terminology he used. So she had no trouble in understanding them.

"I see. Can I ask about your movement technique? I can't seem to see you when you use it. You don't even leave a mirage or clone behind; you disappear. What kind of movement is that?" She asked him. She was curious after seeing him conducting Flash Step during the fights.

"Oh that, that movement technique is known as Shunpoo or Flash Step. It's an advanced shinigami technique. It's an evolved version of the basic shinigami movement technique." Yun Che explained.

"Can you demonstrate it?" she asked. Despite being tired, the shinigami stood up before immediately flash-stepping to all nearby trees. Jasmine was wide agape once more. She has to stop doing that.

"This speed, it's even faster than my movement technique," Jasmine murmured. As Yun Che was done showing off, Jasmine moved beside him again.

"I am impressed. That movement technique is even faster than mine. No matter how I tried, I can't even track your movement." Jasmine said, regaining her composure.

"Oh, thanks. It's an advanced technique, after all." Yun Che didn't reveal that he mastered two more flash-step advanced techniques in the past five months. His flash step uses spirit force, though, and he has to control its usage even in battle.

"I wanted to show you something. This is the movement I wanted to teach you after you reached the True profound realm, but your current strength is sufficient enough. Watch closely." As soon as Jasmine said that, she moved around the vicinity and created six clones of herself.

Yun Che, however, sees her. Sharingan can easily track her profound strength. She was so fast that her mirage didn't dissipate after creating those six clones. While tracking, he didn't even realize that the Sharingan was slowly copying her technique.

[Ding…Scan complete]

[Star God Broken Shadow acquired] [Cultivate?]

"What? Did I copy her movement? Yup, I did." Yun Che smacked his forehead internally as he forgot the basic rule of Sharingan.

[Yes]

[Ding…Compatibility between Star God Broken Shadow and Flash Step detected]

[Initiaing Fusion]

[Fusion successful]

[Ding….Advanced Flash Step acquired: Broken Shadow Flash acquired]

Yun Che was shocked by the combination of his Flash-Step and Star God Broken Shadow. "Did I just create a new technique?"

This technique was quite different from Ichigo's advanced flash step. It requires him to be in Bankai state to produce mirage clones. His clones, however, looked like he was moving, not standing. Star God Broken Shadow creates mirage clones, and they almost look identical. Yun Che remembered Ichigo's fight with Byakuya, where he produced clones to confuse him.

"Wait, what'll happen if I used Broken Shadow Flash during Bankai state?" Yun Che was excited to think about it.

When Jasmine was finished, she reappeared again and said, "This is the Star God Broken Shadow. I hope you manage to comprehend it a little. The movement technique has eight realms. Each realm can produce a mirage clone. As for the rest, you can understand it. It might not be as fast as your movement technique but it might confuse your opponents during battle. So any questions?"

Jasmine was smirking because even though his Flash Step was faster, it was still more like teleportation than movement.

Yun Che held his breath, and he instantly flashed step around her. He moves around her creating clones using the concept of Flash Step and Star God Broken Shadow. He created sixteen identical clones starting from two, four, and eight.

"What…." Jasmine was thrown into shock once more. Her maximum speed creates six clones, but he creates sixteen clones. That was twice her speed. The most shocking thing is that the clones seem to be moving independently. Those clones can mimic his face and movement as if he created sixteen versions of himself.

Suddenly the clones disappear, and Yun Che appears in front of her, panting.

"That move consume almost all of my Spirit Force. It's my first time using it, haa..haa…" He was holding his knee while panting in front of her. Jasmine looked at him as if he was a monster. Forget the eight realms. He managed to surpass her technique entirely by creating sixteen clones.

"How did you do it?" She asked him or, more like, demanded it.

Yun Che fell to his back, still panting but still able to say his words.

"I infused your Star God Broken Shadow concept with my Flash Step. I was able to create a new advanced technique for my flash step. I called it 'Broken Shadow Flash.' I can create a maximum of sixteen mirage clones, but I need a lot of spirit force to maintain it. That was my first try. It was tiring." He said tiredly.

"Broken Shadow Flash?" She admits the name sound even more incredible than her technique. He could comprehend it after a short amount of time and create a new move based on it. It was a genius beyond herself.

Or was he more of a cheat since he had the system?

Yun Che needed to rest for a while to restore his spirit force. After an hour of rest, he collects the fallen beast's corpse and returns it to his current living place, a cave.

Jasmine, however, stays outside for a while. She was thinking about something. After being with him for a while, she observed how he fights using Zangetsu. Zangetsu was a medium-sized sword compared to a typical heavy sword. If she wanted him to be more proficient in the way the sword, she might have something for him to use during battle. Moreover, his combat style was unpredictable, and his sword took too long to swing.

Can he master 'it' if I give it to him? She was thinking about bestowing Yun Che techniques so he could use Zangetsu effectively.

There's one more thing that's been bothering her. That sinister energy that shinigami used to defeat that demon beast. She wanted to ask him before but feared he wouldn't tell her. He had used it countless times before. It was temporary, but that energy was powerful enough to increase his strength. She'll make sure to ask him later.
