On the surface, the spiritual pressure is high, and the attack, defense, and speed are still high, but the essential durability, agility, and strength will become: low.
When you're beating up weaker opponents, they can't break through your spiritual pressure defenses or keep up with your Shunpo speed, so you can naturally maintain your superior demeanor.
However, once it encounters a strong opponent of the same level, the weakness of its spirit body will be fully exposed. As long as it is attacked with a broken defense, it will be instantly killed like a weakling. Or, if it gets into a protracted battle, its body will soon be unable to hold on before its opponent, leading to defeat.
"Things in the ninja world are really a rip-off."
After muttering a complaint under his breath, Aizen turned to the person beside him and ordered, "Get me some paper and a pen."
"Ah-hai!"
Lori, who had been grinning foolishly to herself, was startled and immediately blushed as she went to get paper and pen.
Seeing this, Aizen shook his head helplessly.
This girl is spying on him again.
But he got used to it, since he didn't need the maids to do much, and Lori and Menori had a lot of free time.
This is especially true for Minori, because Lori would take over all the more intimate things without hesitation.
"Give."
"Um, I didn't want to practice calligraphy with a brush."
Staring blankly at the large sheet of Xuan paper and the prepared ink, Aizen helplessly patted the head of the somewhat flustered Lori and said softly, "Never mind, thank you anyway."
"Yes, Lord Aizen is so kind!"
Looking at Lori, who was squinting her eyes and looking completely blissful, Aizen calmly withdrew his hand.
Aizen quickly wrote down the improved spiritual energy extraction technique.
His magnificent and powerful calligraphy flowed freely across the rice paper, the graceful and unrestrained strokes leaving Lori beside him mesmerized and giggling.
There haven't been many updates these past two days, mainly because I've been controlling the details of the upcoming plot to avoid expanding the story too much, since there are still two story arcs before the next decade.
A heads-up: the next chapter is packed with exciting content! This book will have at least six chapters today. I originally wanted to update more, but my older books were on hiatus for over ten days during the Chinese New Year holiday. I'll be resuming updates today.
Chapter 163 The Appearance of Aizen Senzaemon 16/18
"Perfect."
After finishing writing, Aizen carefully examined and admired his work, and after a while, he rolled it up with a series of praises.
Not only Lori, but also Minori, who had always been like a transparent person, found Aizen's narcissistic behavior perfectly natural.
Even though their worldview differs from that of humans and Shinigami, I've seen a lot over the years, and I've never seen calligraphy and handwriting more pleasing to the eye than Aizen's.
The kind of writing that is both restrained and gentle yet bold and domineering, even if you know nothing about calligraphy, you can feel the spirit of the writer.
He wouldn't use something as obviously flawed as the Spirit Energy Extraction Technique, nor would he casually allow his subordinates to use it, but it wasn't entirely useless.
This is like artificial Devil Fruits in the world of One Piece. They are definitely not as effective as the original Devil Fruits, and the side effects may even be greater, but many people still flock to them.
However, there was a second side effect that truly made Aizen refuse to let his trusted subordinates practice this cultivation method.
That is lifespan! Death's lifespan is extremely long, even longer than many people in my previous life had guessed.
The Soul Society has existed for a staggering million years, and Yamamoto Genryu Ryou is exaggeratedly referred to by Aizen in the original work as "the man who represents the history of the Soul Society."
In reality, it's certainly not that exaggerated, but Yamamoto's age is definitely not just a few thousand years.
More than two thousand years ago, he pioneered the "Yuanliu" (元流) school of thought.
He stood at the pinnacle of Soul Society, but at that time, Yamamoto was already a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties! Not to mention Hyosube Ichibei, that man who still leaves Aizen with many mysteries, just take Kirinji Tenjiro, who taught Unohana Kaido, a figure from more than two thousand years ago.
However, his appearance has not changed at all; he still looks like a man in his thirties.
Of course, this could be attributed to the modification of their physical structure.
So, what about Retsu Unohana? She and Kirinji were contemporaries.
Two thousand years have passed, and she still looks like a caring older sister in her twenties.
The stronger the Shinigami's spiritual pressure, the longer their lifespan.
In terms of spiritual pressure, Unohana is definitely inferior to Yamamoto, which means that the two thousand years of time account for a smaller proportion of Yamamoto's lifespan. The reason why he looks almost twenty years older in recent years is probably more because Yamamoto's heart has aged.
Aizen himself, upon careful consideration, realized that his current lifespan limit should exceed 50,000 years.
In the original work, Aizen, who was sealed in the Abyss, was sentenced to 20,000 years! If Aizen's lifespan was only a few hundred or a thousand years, how could that be possible? 20,000 years is roughly the lifespan limit of Aizen.
Although Aizen was fused with the Hogyoku at that time, his form had been reverted to its original state.
Aizen's current spiritual pressure is three times that of a level 1, so it's normal for his lifespan to exceed 50,000 years.
But that wasn't enough! Aizen absolutely refused to allow his life to be so "short."
And subordinates who can keep up with him and move forward cannot be hindered by the issue of lifespan.
The second side effect of the spirit energy extraction technique is a reduction in lifespan! This is because the strength of a spirit body directly correlates with the strength of its life force; as the strength of a spirit body weakens, its lifespan also decreases.
So, the root cause is that chakra is a trap! No, it should be said that the need for self-refining chakra is a trap, since Kaguya Otsutsuki, who ate the fruit of the God Tree, is immortal.
The process of recycling chakra is also a huge pitfall; the process of generating seed chakra and recycling chakra is practically like an investment with no return.
The investors exchanged their life force for chakra, and when the chakra was recovered, it all became nourishment for Kaguya Otsutsuki.
At first glance, it seems a bit cruel, but upon closer inspection, Kaguya Otsutsuki's actions weren't actually wrong.
"However, since the Chakra Refining Technique can be modified into a Spiritual Energy Extraction Technique, other cultivation techniques and manuals have a medium for conversion. Perhaps we can try to absorb external spiritual particles to enhance our spiritual pressure."
The more Aizen thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Generally speaking, absorbing external spiritual particles can only replenish the spiritual power lost in the body. However, given the precedent of the chakra extraction technique, he felt that this idea was very likely.
Of course, this spiritual power is completely different from the spiritual power that stabilizes the body's structure. So... assuming it is, then this is used for combat.
Having finished his research on the Spirit Extraction Technique, Aizen, as always, went out and made an appearance.
After handling the team affairs briefly, Aizen and the medical team were both exhausted and left the True Spiritual Arts Academy.
It's time to begin the official plan to recruit Gin Ichimaru.
If provoking Gin Ichimaru alone doesn't work, then the only option is to target Rangiku Matsumoto.
What if Matsumoto's plan also fails to reform Gin Ichimaru?
If that's the case, then I'm sorry, Gin Ichimaru, this is the calamity you were destined to face.
"Hey, hey, don't talk like you're such a good person, okay?"
You're clearly the biggest villain!
"No, that's not right. It never existed in this world."
"Stop, stop, stop! I know what you're trying to say. It's that there's no inherent good or bad in this world; good and bad are just relative terms, judged based on existing moral ethics."
However, so-called morality and ethics do not inherently represent correctness, because there is no inherent right or wrong in the world; it is merely a product of the majority's consensus, ultimately just a set of rules determined by the weak to protect themselves.
It interrupted Aizen's system, which chattered on and on for quite a long time.
Aizen, who hadn't finished speaking, listened with a smile and, without getting angry, retorted, "See, you understand quite a bit yourself, don't you?"
""
system.
Alright, I can't win with words.
The system sank.
However, it seems that Aizen can find a somewhat scoundrel-like theory for everything.
However, this in itself represents Aizen's own beliefs and path, so someone like Aizen would never be easily swayed. Therefore, the greatest blessing for such a host is that there is no need to worry too much.
Upon Aizen's arrival, the Shinigami Academy, as always, sent people to greet him.
It just so happens that Shimada, who was Matsumoto Rangiku's homeroom teacher for four years, immediately...
Their eyes lit up as they came forward.
"I am truly grateful to Captain Aizen for his continued concern for the Shinigami Academy."
Seeing the other party's respectful attitude, Aizen simply smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's very necessary to care about the future of the Soul Society."
Moreover, it didn't take much time, and being able to guide them onto the right path is the most gratifying thing.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Shimada instantly felt ashamed of his own inferiority.
Look at their level of thinking; their attitude towards Aizen suddenly becomes even more one of admiration.
Are you going to Class 1 of the freshmen program again this time?
"No, I'll come back in a few days after teaching the new students."
Aizen shook his head and chatted with Shimada as they walked, "This time I wanted to find a good prospect to train, since Gin has become the captain of the Third Division, leaving my vice-captain vacant."
"Let's go check on your class first."
"Oh, right. Actually, your younger brother Senzaemon has outstanding spiritual pressure talent, but he just can't learn anything. Perhaps developing his abilities would be more than enough for him to serve as a vice-captain."
Before Shimada could even finish his hesitant words, Aizen was completely dumbfounded.
The next second, a series of memories surged up, and Aizen's expression began to turn strange, a hint of mockery and excitement at finding prey flashing in his eyes.
Chapter 164 The Non-Existent Transmigrated Brother 17/18
Aizen Senzaemon, a transmigrator.
He was transported to this world two days ago. In his previous life, he was an otaku and was completely bewildered by the transmigration, because he was inexplicably transported while watching hentai anime.
After transmigrating, he found himself in a classroom, surrounded by classmates and teachers dressed in Japanese clothing, speaking Japanese.
After experiencing a series of startling and chaotic events, he was finally informed of his current situation by the system within his body.
His system sounded incredibly sophisticated; it was called the "Great Swordsman System of Myriad Realms".
After some conversation, he learned several important pieces of information.
First of all, he is currently a student at the Soul Society of Shinigami.
Secondly, his current identity is Dai Aizen and Iori.
Third, he possesses memories of his contact with Aizen, but in those memories, Aizen, who had lost all his relatives, held his younger brother in high regard, hence the phrase "877".
They had always protected him very well, and in those memories of their contact, they had no idea what Aizen was doing behind the scenes.
As a time traveler, he first expressed strong dissatisfaction with his own name.
"What the hell is Senzaemon? Am I on my way to becoming the Demon King of Food? Just because Aizen's name has 'right' in it, does that mean my name has to have 'left' in it? What kind of obsessive-compulsive setting is this?!"
After finishing his rant, Zaemon... well, he decisively changed "Zaemon" to...
It was used as a name, "Aizen".
It was used as a surname; as for "immortal"...
Just like the "" in One Piece
Just treat it as something that makes you look more sophisticated by saying your full name.
At first, he refused to accept the fact that he had become Aizen's younger brother.
Holy crap, becoming that man's brother means he'll be exposed the moment something goes wrong. It's like starting in hell.
But a few seconds later, Zaemon became excited.
Because Aizen has deep feelings for his younger brother, this means that as long as he plays the role of the younger brother reasonably and gradually changes his personality, he can easily gain a super powerful backer.
With Aizen's wisdom and ability, all he needed to do was subtly let Aizen discover the existence of the Wandenreich and remind him to kill Ichigo Kurosaki in advance, and Aizen would be invincible.
At that time, as Aizen's most beloved younger brother, he will be able to roam freely in this world even without a system.
With the addition of a system that sounds incredibly powerful, and with Aizen's resources and assistance, his growth rate will probably be phenomenal.
After having a sweet dream, Zaemon immediately received the system's beginner quest.
"Ding-dong! New player quest issued: Get to know the story character Matsumoto Rangiku."
"Mission Reward: Busujima-style swordsmanship."
. "
"Failure penalty: System disconnection, memory erased."
Upon hearing the punishment, Zaemon immediately...
