Chapter 77: The Art of Balance
Pedal, pedal, pedal... As the sound of footsteps spreads and passes, Kiyowa and Kiriyo Tetsusai appear in the underground training ground of the Urahara store.
"How's it going, Kiyowa? I didn't expect that there would be a different world under such a small store, right? ”
Holding Ling Tiezhai with both hands on his chest, the two mustaches on his mouth were shaking comically with a little pride.
Qinghe, who touched his eyebrows, said very calmly: "I didn't expect that decades have passed, and the store manager Urahara still misses the time when he was in the corpse soul world." ”
"What?"
"Teacher Shuling, I used to practice in the training ground of the Twin Pole Hill... The layout here is based on the prototype there. ”
"..."Strange and only a little surprised, Tsu Ling Tiezhai had to nod when he heard this.
Silently swept over the green plants used to decorate, and the corners of his eyes jumped wildly... This is really stolen from the streets outside, and Urahara is really crazy, undisciplined, and outrageous.
"Teacher Shuling, where do we start practicing next?"
"How did you manage to control your spiritual power to the point where you were able to do it?"
Holding Ling Tiezhai's question, Qinghe recalled the ten years of "pain and happiness": "Seal my limbs with a special murderous stone to maximize the consumption of spiritual power, at that time, I only had 10% of my usual spiritual power to use, and I naturally learned to control every spiritual power in my body." ”
"It's hard... This kind of thing, even if someone helps you replenish your spiritual power, it is not easy. ”
The following rhetoric, Hold Ling Tie Zhai for Qinghe said... Although he had already apprenticed, he still did not tell the other party about the existence of the magic bottle: just like Shiba Haiyan said, the fewer people who know, the better.
"You've done a good job of self-regulation... So this first step, we can skip. ”
Saying this, he saw the doubts on Qinghe's face... This was not the first step that Kuzuru asked Kiyowa to do.
"There is no need to wonder, the practice of the ghost path... It varies from person to person, from family to family, how did the Shiba family teacher teach you? ”
"Write down the words, the exact intonation of the chant, a lot of repetitive practice... Until the ghost path is completely mastered, the next practice will be carried out. ”
Qinghe's words made Tsuryo Tiezhai fall into deep thought, and only after a few seconds did he speak: "The ancient ghost path cultivation tradition has been preserved." ”
"Teacher Shuling, why do you say 'ancient'?"
"Since you know the Exterminator, you must know the battle more than 900 years ago."
Nodding his head to indicate that he knows Qinghe, there are more doubts in his heart... How strong the exterminator was in the first war, there are too few historical records in the Corpse Soul Realm: the only details are the battle of exterminating the clan more than a hundred years ago.
"Don't delve into this matter now, it won't do you any good to know too much. I would say that before that battle... Mao Spiritual Academy, the "Ghost Path" teaching method used is what you learned at Shiba's house. ”
"What is the current teaching method of the academy?"
"Hmph... It's just rote memorization. The cultivation of the ghost path lies in a heart that can endure loneliness, but is enthusiastic. The previous way of teaching laid a solid foundation, but it also took longer. ”
Obviously dissatisfied with the current teaching, the clenched fist was then released, and there was more helplessness in his tone: "Now I will only teach some commonly used ghost paths, because some ghost paths are simple and practical..."
"Among them, the No. 30 of the low-level Breaker and the Bound Path require being able to chant and cast, while the Intermediate Breaker only needs to master the No. 31 Red Cannon to complete the 6-year graduation assessment."
"That's it..."
Qinghe also thought that the ghost path would not be put too much energy into the Grim Reaper, but he didn't expect that the conditions would be so simple.
"It's not hard for you who like ghosts... But for those whose brains are not very bright, it is torment. The graduation requirement of the academy is to pass three items of "Fist Walking" in order to become an officially recognized Grim Reaper. ”
"Teacher Grip Ling, what if you can't get by?"
"Rebuild, once a year opportunity... The question of the Mao Spiritual Academy, that's all for the time being, you will also go there in the future. The method I'm going to tell you now is that each Great Ghost Dao Master keeps modifying and adjusting... The simplest, but also the most persevering method. ”
Holding Ling Tiezhai's words, Qinghe subconsciously tensed his body, and his eyes showed a look of longing... He was most afraid of the kind of things that required too many qualifications to learn.
Even though Qinghe is now a fifth-class spiritual pressure... But in the entire corpse soul realm, it can only barely be regarded as a medium level.
"The first step in this method is to regulate one's own spiritual power."
The palm of his hand was stretched out, and with his own spiritual power and the spirit son in the atmosphere, he generated a ball of spiritual power that emitted blue and white light.
"There is also a so-called upper limit on the power of the ghost path."
With his explanation, the spiritual power ball in Ling Tiezhai's hand could no longer expand after it grew to the same height as Qinghe... Qinghe could clearly feel the heavy oppression brought to him by the spirit balloon.
"You didn't notice that, did you?"
Waving his hand to cancel the spirit balloon's grip, he looked at Qinghe on the side.
Qinghe, who nodded, suddenly discovered... My previous understanding of ghosts is too superficial.
In his previous practice, because his spiritual power was limited, he would not invest all his spiritual power at once, but only cooperated with himself as much as possible to mobilize the spiritual child and complete the filling of energy.
"It's normal that you can't find out... This kind of thing, with captain-level spiritual pressure, will have this kind of happy trouble. ”
Holding Ling Tiezhai's words, the corners of Qinghe's mouth moved slightly: this kind of "high up" really makes people unhappy.
"But this ceiling can also be broken... That's what you're going to learn next. ”
Facing Qinghe's puzzled gaze, Ling Tiezhai raised his arm again: "The eighth of the bound path, reprimand!" ”
The blue spiritual power ball that appeared in his hand slowly expanded... Until it came to the size just now, and then there was no obstacle to the breakthrough, and after a few seconds it became twice as large.
"What did you feel, tell me."
Lowering his head and thinking for a while, Qinghe quickly raised his head: "This time, Mr. Grip Ling, the spiritual power you used is only half of what it was just now... However, more Lingzi were attracted. ”
"Hahaha... You're so much smarter than those. ”
"Idiots don't have the patience to learn... Besides, such an obvious change can be noticed by a person with a brain!!"
Qinghe, who couldn't help but complain in his heart, then heard the following words of Grip Ling Tiezhai: "The first step is the cultivation of one's own spiritual power, and this process generally takes 30 years. Your harsh approach to practice has taken you less than 10 years to complete. The second step is the practice of controlling the spiritual son. ”
"That said... Try to learn to control more spirit children, so that the ghost path can break through its own limits. Mr. Shuling, how much time does this step take? ”
Qinghe only knew that the stronger the spiritual pressure, the stronger the ghost path used... I didn't expect that there was another layer of such a relationship.
"There is no upper limit to this step... You only need to remember that with 1 part of spiritual power and 2 parts of Lingzi, you can maximize the damage and defense of the ghost path with the same spiritual power. The ghost path is applied to the art of balance, not the kind of thing that blindly pursues power. ”
Holding Ling Tiezhai's words made Qinghe itch and unbearable... This is the advanced class teaching of the ghost way!
