Chapter 61: Cutting the Moon

"Whoa...... That's just right! Taking advantage of your momentum, let's go straight to the third step! The corners of Urahara Kisuke's mouth already had a hint of an inexplicable chilling smile, but unfortunately, Ichigo, who was obsessed with revenge on Urahara, didn't see it!

"Huh?"

"The third step is not time-limited for you." Kisuke Urahara gestured to his hat. "As long as you can cut off my hat with a slasher, you'll pass the test."

Hearing this, Ichigo raised his eyebrows, and he raised his head with a knife.

"Hmph...... Not bad! A severed sword can be so powerful. Kisuke Urahara glanced at the hat that had cracked a small hole because of his carelessness.

"Of course!" Ichigo shouted loudly. "If I'm serious, it's more than that! You don't have to say anything, there's no time limit, just five minutes and I'll be able to clean you up! ”

"Huh?"

The corners of Urahara's mouth curled up in a strange arc.

"Qiang ——!" Bang!

Urahara had already pulled out the red girl in his hand.

Love stood aside, holding an apple that he didn't know where to take out and was gnawing, and at the same time, looking at a certain hot-blooded stupid who was constantly shouting with a funny face, he shook his head helplessly.

Five minutes?!

You must be too confident in yourself!

You know, even now, I haven't been able to see the bottom line of his strength, and if it's a life-and-death fight, I'm not sure I'll be able to retreat under his hands at all!

What's more, you're such a rookie!

————————————

The training ground under the Urahara shop.

Ai looked at Ichigo, who was chased by Urahara and was embarrassed and fled in all directions, and the knife in his hand ...... Oh no, it's supposed to be the hilt, and now only the last shred of the blade remains.

"How is that possible?! How could there be something that could cut off the slashing knife! Ichigo shouted in disbelief as he ran in embarrassment, dodging Urahara's attack.

"This idiot!" Love covered her forehead with a look of "How did I know this idiot?!" "A helpless expression." Only a spirit can deal with a spirit, and his sword can cut off your slashing sword, of course, because his knife is also a slashing sword! ”

"Hey! A sucker! What a mess! It's a shame for our Kurosaki family! What's the use of just escaping? Did you plan to save Rukia like this after you broke into the Corpse Soul Realm? Ai looked at Ichigo, who was being chased by Urahara all over the street, sighed, and shouted loudly to Ichigo, who was desperately trying to escape.

"Damn! It's easy to say! Ichigo also took the time to turn around and scold Ai, but he didn't run away anymore, but turned around and stabbed Urahara!

Kisuke Urahara leaned slightly sideways and dodged Ichigo's slashing knife.

"Didn't anyone tell you?" Kisuke Urahara's voice suddenly came from behind Ichigo. "Your knife is only a little bigger at best!"

Instantaneous!

At this moment, the knife in Urahara's hand was aimed at Ichigo's face and slashed, a millimeter away from Ichigo's face, and Ichigo was shocked into a cold sweat.

"The aura of that knife didn't condense, it just swelled into the shape of a knife." Kisuke Urahara swung his sword lightly, and his relaxed tone proved that he was not doing his best at all, on the contrary, he was simply at ease. "That's why I'm ...... Such an easy rescue cut him off. ”

"Click~~"

The last trace of the blade and gauntlet were cut off by Urahara's gentle knife like tofu! Ichigo's slashing sword was left with only one hilt.

Ichigo dodged, dodged Urahara's knife again, and struggled to escape.

"Why run away?! Ichigo. You haven't called me yet! ”

"Huh?!"

The figure of Ichiyu, who was running with all his might, immediately froze, and was almost slashed by Urahara, who was chasing after him. "Who's talking?!"

"Ahra......"

Ai on the side noticed Ichigo's change, took a hard bite, chewed all the remaining apples into his mouth, threw away the pit, and squinted at Ichigo with interest. "The momentum has changed! The spiritual pressure on his body has begun to increase! And the huge flaw that just suddenly came to light...... Cutting the moon?! It's so much fun! Hurry up! In the original book, you are known as the 'strongest slashing knife in the physical direct attack system'...... Let me see how strong you really are! ”

You......

Suddenly, a voice sounded from Ichigo's heart again, and Ichigo raised his head, but saw the middle-aged uncle he had just met standing in front of him, and asked lightly, "Why did you run away?" Ichigo. ”

"You haven't called me yet! Look ahead, Ichigo. You should be able to hear it now. Covering your ears is ...... Worthless fear. What are you afraid of? Kisuke Urahara: Is that ridiculous red hime? The enemy is a man. You're also a human being. So what else do you have to be afraid of? Forget that fear. Look ahead. Let's move forward. Don't stop. Retreat only ages! Cowardice invites death! Call it! My name is ......"

"Moonlash!"

With Ichigo's shouting for this life, I saw a blue light flash, the broken blade in Ichigo's hand disappeared, and a knife that had no other tricks and gauntlets, and looked like a huge kitchen knife, appeared in Ichigo's hand.

"Ahh......h......h The momentum is different! And...... That's not a bad look! ”

"Your Slashing Knife has also appeared, let's officially enter the third step!" Urahara said as he pressed the hat on his head.

"What do you mean 'officially'...... Sorry! Mr. Urahara. Ichigo said indifferently, "You're going to have to hide next!" ”

"What's the Mi?"

"I want to ......" Ichigo held up the slashing moon in the air, a hint of banter flashing in his resolute eyes. …… I won't release water! ”

The slashing moon in Ichigo's hand slammed down, and the blue crescent moon emanated from the slashing moon in Ichigo's hand, and quickly attacked Urahara, who was stunned!

And then—

“——！”

Silently, the crescent moon disappeared in an instant!

- Only Ai, who had a calm face, stood in front of Kisuke Urahara, unscathed. Ichigo looked at Ai in disbelief, the slash just now was a blow that combined all his spiritual power plus the power of the slashing moon itself...... was actually disappeared with a wave of his unscrupulous brother's hand?!

"Even if I've learned how to solve the problem, is the gap between me and you still so far away?! It's so lightly said that it's just a little love......" Ichigo, who had been drained of spiritual power, suddenly felt a huge sense of tiredness hit him, and his eyelids gradually closed.

It's just that the unwillingness in my heart will dissipate so easily...... No one knows except Ichigo.

Anti-Ghost Killing......

Instantly judged the strength of Ichigo's attack, and adjusted his own spiritual pressure in an instant?!

Urahara's pupils dilated suddenly, he really deserved to be the most demonic person he had ever seen, it was only three years since he had the power of death, such a high-level skill, the other party could use it so skillfully, and his keen intuition to judge the strength of Kurosaki Ichigo's attack in an instant was really terrifying, at least in the current corpse soul world, it was absolutely unmatched......

"Mr. Kurosaki...... You're such a scary little ghost......" Urahara said meaningfully as he looked at Ichigo, who was already asleep, "but...... You've passed...... This training ...... Half way! ”

————————————

I'm ...... Where is it......?

Ichigo struggled to open his eyes, and his vision gradually changed from blurry to clear.

Oh...... Yes! I'm fighting that bastard in Urahara...... And then...... The crescent moon that I did with all my might was ...... Xiao Ai easily ...... with one hand

Completely offset! Damn it...... What an unwillingness!

"Yo! Stupid man, you're awake! Ai sat on the edge of the window, looked up at the night sky, and said without looking back, "Your recovery power is not bad, and it only took half a day to recover when your spiritual power was exhausted." Quite a strong recovery ability...... Well, with this ability, I have some capital to save my life when I get to the Corpse Soul Realm - but that's just an escape. ”

"What do you say? Now, at least I can easily defeat the guy with the strange tattoo on his eyebrows that day, right?! Ichigo said unconvinced. Besides, if it's exactly what you say, then what's the point of me doing all this training?! ”

"You think you can win that Asai Koiji? Stop dreaming. Aitou smiled without looking back, and said, "What you saw that day was only one-fifth of his strength." With you now, if you want to defeat a vice-captain, it will be difficult! ”

"A fifth?!"

Hearing this, Ichigo suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and blurted out: "How is it possible?!" ”

"You heard it right! There is this rule in the corpse soul world, if a captain-level character wants to enter the present world, he must engrave a limited spirit seal in a certain place on his body, and when they come to the present world, their strength is only one-fifth! I remember this is in the information I gave you?! And it seems like I myself mentioned it more than once in front of you! Love said with some doubts.

"What's more, as a vice-captain, that Asai Koiji must be experienced in a hundred battles, and his combat experience is provoking, in this aspect, you can't match him! And that ice cube face is rotten wood white, at your current level, if you can't pass tomorrow's training, if you meet again, you will still have to be killed in seconds! ”

"Uh...... What's this...... Then again, what should I do next?! Although I was still a little unconvinced, because there was a ghost in my heart, a certain stupid person just played haha and tried to change the topic.

It's just that Love doesn't want to clean him up at all.

In the words of love, that is: let a hot-blooded fool with a hot-blooded action faction seriously study the information and decide on his own action, the difficulty is comparable to making a certain lady full of majesty, so that a certain red and white festival * will not fall!

"You have a good rest tonight, and from tomorrow onwards, it's the real training! So, stupid! Don't be careless. Love turned and came down from the ledge, stretched and said, "You have a sword like no other, but there is nothing you can rely on." Because...... You don't have what it takes to get the most out of it! ”

Real Training ......

Ichigo, the special slashing sword, was stunned and didn't speak.

————————————

Following.

Urahara store, underground space.

Ichigo, who had already recealized, looked at Ai with an eager face and asked, "What exactly is 'real training'?" Ready to start? ”

"Huh?" Ai glanced at Ichigo lightly and shook her head helplessly, as if she had no expectations for anything at all. Seeing that the corners of Ichigo's mouth twitched, he secretly hated.

"You see your own slashing knife, right?" Love asked.

"Hmm!"

Ichigo pulled out the slashing moon behind his back and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

"Alright! I admit it! It's my fault for expecting your IQ! Ai had a weak expression on her face, rubbing her temples that were a little painful, while ignoring the large black line on Ichigo's forehead and said, "I said, you haven't noticed that your standing is quite big and there is any difference between it and Urahara's?" ”

"Hmm" Ichigo touched his chin and groaned for a moment, giving an answer that made Ai want to slap him to death after hearing it: "My slashing moon is bigger than his red hime?" ”

“”

"Forget it" Ai sighed helplessly, no longer selling off in front of Ichigo, for fear that he would be angry to death, and directly explained: "Your moon slashing is the same as my slashing sword!" They are all permanent Initiation Blades, and they don't need to use the Initiation Spirit Words to directly use the power of the Initiation, but like Urahara, they must be solved before they can do so. In this respect, it is very good, and you can get the upper hand in the battle! ”

"And in the information I gave you, you should have seen 'Initiation Solution: It is the initial (first-stage) liberation form of the Slashing Knife, and the condition for the Initiation Solution to be achieved is that the owner of the Slashing Knife must be able to talk to and be in tune with the Slasher.' That's right! ”

"Hmmm! I've seen it before! ”

Ichigo nodded.

"On the other hand, if the Slashing Knife has always maintained the state of the original solution, the sword owner and his own Slashing Knife can always maintain dialogue and harmony! And this is the prerequisite for achieving the second stage of the liberation form of the Slashing Sword, 'Swastika'! ”

"Swastika?" Ichigo blinked his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Xiao Ai, in the information you gave me, why haven't I seen this 'swastika' information?" ”

"That's because you weren't qualified to do anything about it!" Love said unceremoniously. "Shut up for me! Hear me out! ”

"Oh!"

"When the communication between the sword master and his own slashing knife reaches a certain level, he can make the sword spirit of his slashing sword appear in this world and make them submit to themselves! Only in this way will the sword master be able to carry out the swastika solution. And after the slashing knife is dissolved, the ability of the knife will be more thoroughly and comprehensively exerted. Generally speaking, the Slasher after the swastika grants the Reaper 5-10 times the power of the Slasher based on the Initial Solution. At the same time, it is also one of the necessary conditions for the god of death to become the captain of the thirteenth team of the court. ”

"I see! Xiao Ai, what you said about 'real training' is to let me learn to understand! But, then again, figurative? Succumb? Ichigo read softly, and then said, "It means that the sword spirit of my Slashing Sword will appear in this world, and then I will defeat him and make him submit!" That's what it means, right? ”

"Hmmm! It's rare that you still have that last bit of brains in your head! Love pouted.

The corners of Ichigo's eyes twitched a few times at the sound of this.

"However, I only started to solve the sword yesterday! With the level of communication and attunement I have with the moon now, how am I going to make him concretize and then make him submit to me? Although he knew that since this unscrupulous brother of his own family would let himself be trained to solve the swastika, he must have been prepared, but Ichigo couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Since I'm going to let you do this training, naturally you've been prepared!" Ai looked at Ichigo and suddenly laughed inexplicably, and stretched out his hand to point at Ichigo's back. "That's it!"

Ichigo turned his head to look—and saw Urahara walking over with a white, life-tall doll in his hand.

"Mr. Kurosaki! In order for you to learn the swastika in a short time, we can only use this thing. Transience! This is one of the most important special spiritual tools for stealth maneuvers. It is capable of forcibly concretizing the sword. The initial solution of the slashing knife needs to talk to the knife, and then synchronize, that is, to enter the world of the slashing knife, while the swastika needs to materialize and submit the slashing knife, and the embodiment is to let the slashing knife come to this world. This is also the hardest part of the swastika, which usually takes years to exercise. However, we don't have that much time right now, so we need to use the Transiform. As long as you stick the Slashing Knife into the Transient Body, you will be able to make the Slashing Knife symbolize. But with this method, the time for the visualization of the slashing knife is only three days, and you have to make the embodied slashing knife give in and learn to demystify it within these three days. Otherwise," Urahara, as he walked.

"Bang"!

Ichigo directly inserted the slashing moon into the Turning God Body: "You don't need to tell me what the consequences of failure are!" I don't have much time to think about the possibility of failure, as long as I do it, right? ”

And in the next moment, the slashing moon in Ichigo's hand and the turning god body in front of him disappeared instantly, and Ichigo turned his head suddenly, only to see a middle-aged uncle standing behind him looking at him.

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment, Love suddenly spoke.

"Huh?"

Urahara looked at his eyes with a solemn face, and slowly asked, "Is there any problem?" Mr. Kurosaki. ”

"Nothing! It's just that Ai glanced at Urahara's solemn face, and suddenly felt inexplicably refreshed, and said with a smile: "It's just that I want to add a little material!" ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Urahara, who suddenly felt bad in his heart, wanted to stop Ai's actions directly, but one was caught off guard, and the other was premeditated, not to mention, Ai has always paid attention to his own shooting speed, so even Urahara was unable to prevent Ai from imprinting his right hand with a blazing white light on Chopaki's chest.

"Liberation of the heart!"

“——！”

A voice that couldn't tell what it looked like flashed, and the middle-aged uncle who was originally full of vicissitudes and indifferent temperament - Chopping Moon instantly became different!

Urahara's expression changed drastically.

At this point, Ichigo, as the sword master, has the most intuitive feeling!

If it was said that the Moon Cutting Moon, which was originally embodied in the Divine Transformation Body, was like a strict master preparing to teach his disciples, then now the Moon Cutting Moon was as if he had met his own mortal enemy, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring!

The piercing murderous aura came to his face, and Ichigo, who had not yet come back to his senses by the act of love, was directly stunned on the spot by the change in the moon in front of him.

"What did you do? Mr. Kurosaki. ”

Urahara clenched the red heme in his hand and asked in a deep voice.

"As you can see!"

Love spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "Then things get interesting!" ”

Ichigo on the side looked at the tense atmosphere between Ai and Urahara, and unconsciously opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

However, just by looking at Urahara's current stinky face, he knew that he should have been cheated by his unscrupulous brother again!
