Chapter 123: Corpse Soul Realm
Of course, it is impossible for Van Helsing to awaken the Slashing Knife, and even if he does, it is also an awakening X gene...... It's also impossible.
It took Ethan a moment to regain his senses as a strange feeling filled his body, and by this time he had arrived in a new world.
Before teleporting, he saw part of the 'picture' of the new world, so he knew where he was.
Corpse Soul Realm!
Even his specific location can be determined: the outermost eighty districts of Soul Street.
The most stable and prosperous place in the Corpse Soul Realm is naturally the Lingling Court, and outside the Lingling Court is the Wandering Soul Street, which is distributed in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest outside the Lingling Court, and each direction is divided into eighty areas.
In this world, the souls of the dead will be sent to the Soul Street, because there are more than 300 areas, so even if the people you knew in life die at the same time, they will not be sent to the same area.
In addition, the outermost area is more chaotic, and the outermost 80th district is the most chaotic and the worst living environment.
For this reason, Ethan did not rush to run around, even though he was able to move, but continued to huddle around the corner of the street to observe the situation around him, hoping to 'get acquainted with this new body' as soon as possible.
It may not be accurate to say that it is a body, but now he is completely composed of 'energy', similar to the 'dead people' around him who are composed of 'spirit children', after all, his body has been torn to pieces by the countess's version of Serena, and his compressed power has not been released and generated into a new god body, but only a little bit of power, combined with the soul and turned into a spirit state.
"In other words, I didn't directly regain my strength......"
This is really bad news, but it is still a change from the previous situation when his power was completely suppressed, and he can feel that his current state is like breaking the seal, and as long as he finds the right way, he can steadily 'become stronger'.
Anyway, since it's already here, let's live it first.
"I don't know what point of time I've reached. ”
The main story of the Grim Reaper does not span a long time, and the male protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki didn't even have time to finish high school from beginning to end, and the plot ended.
If you explore the causes and consequences in detail, the time span involved is quite amazing, and the span can reach thousands of years at most.
Even if you ignore the content of the pure background setting, the plot that has been described in detail can be pushed back more than 100 years before the plot began.
In Ethan's previous situation, it is generally the time to enter the beginning of the plot.
This time is different from the past, it is not himself who is in charge, and the ghost knows to which point in time he was thrown?
If you think about it carefully, with your current situation, if it falls directly to the point in time at the beginning of the plot, it should be the worst situation.
He is now an ordinary 'person', even if he has his own plug-in gold finger, it will take a while to transform it into strength.
In this case, he is not suitable and capable of participating in the plot at all - of course, he does not necessarily have to participate in the plot, if this test is only to restore his strength, then the plot has nothing to do with him.
Considering that during the thousand-year bloody war, the entire corpse soul realm became a battlefield, and if the strength was not enough, even self-protection could not be done.
So for Ethan, the best situation is to come to a long time before the plot begins, so that he can stay for 1,800 years, even if he can't recover his original strong strength, even if he only learns to cultivate the power of this world for such a long time, it is enough for him to have the power of self-preservation.
"Let's go around first!"
Ethan's current purpose is to leave this place, whether it is to find a place to cultivate or live, it is not very suitable as the outermost place of Flowing Soul Street - in the Corpse Soul Realm, where you don't need to eat, you only need to drink water to survive, and even water is a rare material in the eighty districts of Flowing Soul Street, which shows how bad the living environment of this place is.
Under the conditions of the situation, Ethan, who has never found guilt for himself in life, is absolutely unwilling to settle down in this place, even if he only walked for half a day and beat up four blind guys, and also robbed some money to give himself the most basic living expenses.
Soon, he was glad that he had met a few bastards and solved the most basic problem of living expenses, because he found that he would be hungry, and according to the setting of this world, he had a good spiritual pressure, and he could not survive by 'breathing' and drinking water alone, and had to eat.
Ethan was not prepared to live in one place for a long time, and it was impossible for him to work a regular job to earn living expenses, and the first few thugs pointed out a simple path for him: to clean up the unpopular guys.
Since Ethan never stopped in the same place, and those people rarely left their familiar areas, he beat many people along the way, but rarely encountered retaliation.
In fact, he really hopes that these guys will take revenge on him, which means that he can make a fortune again, and maybe he can consider changing himself into a new set of clothes when the time comes?
His current body is new, and his clothes are 'distributed' by coming to this world, which are very ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and he has saved as much money as possible to buy food along the way, because he feels that as he gets closer and closer to the Lingling Court, the number of Wandering Soul Street is getting smaller and smaller, the security should be better and better, and his income will gradually decrease.
As a result, he realized that he was wrong, even if he had reached a very high numbered area, he could still encounter that kind of nasty scum.
And with the better living environment and economic situation in these areas, these guys have become more oily and watery.
Ethan's income not only did not decrease, but increased, in this case, he didn't need to save anymore, he directly changed himself into a set of comfortable clothes, and then continued to move in the direction of the Lingting.
Under normal circumstances, civilians on Soul Street are not allowed to enter the Soul Court at will. But there is one exception, and that is the admission of Mao Lingshu Academy.
Ethan wants to enter the Lingting Court reasonably, and becoming a student of Mao Lingjutsu Academy is the easiest way.
What Ethan values even more is that the Mao Spiritual Academy provides food, shelter and distribution, and after graduation, he can continue to live in the Lingting Court, which is very attractive to Ethan who is not willing to live a poor life.
In addition to this, entering the Mao Spiritual Academy can also allow him to determine what time he is in?
So far, he only knew that the Thirteen Guardian Teams had already been established, after all, the Mao Yang Spiritual Academy had already been established, and it should have been established for a long time.
Other than that, no more information has been gleaned. Soul Street and the Soul Court are like two worlds, and it is difficult to know the information of those 'upper class people' without entering the Soul Court.
Even if it was to determine the timeline, he would have to enter the Mao Spiritual Academy.
Unfortunately, Ethan didn't come at a very coincidental time, some time ago, Mao Ling Academy had just completed this year's enrollment, and if he wanted to enter Mao Ling Academy, he would have to wait an extra year.
As for showing his talent and causing shock, luring Captain Yamamoto out and even crying and shouting to take him as an apprentice, Ethan didn't think about it.
He knew that he had a lot of potential, but the others didn't have the ability to see it, and at most these people just thought that Ethan was a young man with some potential—in the Corpse Soul Realm, those who needed food to survive were considered potential.
In other words, Ethan and those freshmen who were recruited into the Mao Spiritual Academy did not look different on the surface.
"Wait one more year, wait one more year!"
Just in time to take advantage of this time to better adapt to the new life, Ethan settled in Runlin, the first district outside the Lingling Court.
Through this period of 'hard work', Ethan has accumulated some money, even if he does nothing in the future, it is enough to ensure a year of food and clothing.
But he always gets bored when he stays at home for a long time, so he occasionally picks up some odd jobs to pass the time.
In addition to going out to 'let off steam', Ethan spent the rest of his time 'restoring' his strength.
He found it difficult to regain his strength by following the route he was familiar with, but if he cultivated according to the rules of this world, his strength improved rapidly.
Even before the start of a new enrollment at the Mao Spiritual Academy, he condensed a sword that was completely his own.
“......”
The original prototype of the slashing knife in this world was created by the second king of the house, and as for whether he can completely rely on his own ability to 'get' his own slashing knife, there is no clear answer in the setting.
However, Ethan has always felt that Nimaiya Wang Yue has just lowered the threshold for the god of death to have his own slashing sword, providing a container that makes it easier for the god of death to awaken the slashing sword.
Otherwise, the protagonist Kurosaki Ichigo even used the swastika without a shallow fight, and as a result, none of the Grim Reapers, including Captain Yamamoto, doubted it? When Urahara Kisuke taught, he didn't say to give Kurosaki Ichigo a shallow blow, but directly asked him to communicate with the slashing knife body.
These circumstances prove that the Grim Reaper can directly awaken the Slashing Knife without relying on shallow hits.
But Ethan's situation is even more special, he has this one in his hand...... I really can't say whether it's a slashing knife or not. The biggest difference was that he was sure that there was no such thing as a sword spirit in this thing, and that this knife was just the embodiment of a part of the power that had been extremely compressed.
"According to the previous routine, a freshman like me, who has a slashing sword before entering school, will definitely attract attention, right?"
It turned out that Ethan was thinking too much about it, and when he ran to sign up with a long knife, he only came to recruit when he didn't know where to 'pick up' an ordinary shallow fight, and didn't think about the fact that he already had his own slashing knife.
The Grim Reaper often performs dangerous missions, and it is common for the saber to be taken away after the battle is killed, so Ethan did not attract anyone's attention, and calmly became a freshman of Mao Lingshu Academy, and once again began his college career.
