In reality, the principle of Shunkō is very simple, but it is extremely difficult to operate.
It's like strapping a bomb to your arm, and when the bomb explodes, it can only hurt the enemy without harming yourself.
Yamabuki had only initially mastered this attack method and still needed a lot of time to perfect it; it was good that the two of them could research it together.
By evening, Chika Shihōin had already gained an initial grasp of the frequency of Shunkō attacks. Using Kidō required time to chant, and condensing Kidō on his arm also took time, much like loading a cannon.
To reduce this time, one must continuously deepen their Kidō training and constantly increase their spiritual pressure.
"Here I come!" Chika Shihōin charged at Yamabuki again, an astonishing amount of spiritual pressure erupting from his arms, simultaneously tearing his sleeves to shreds.
Unfortunately, there was now an insurmountable gap between their strengths. Any attack method of a Shinigami was directly linked to spiritual pressure; if the spiritual pressure couldn't keep up, no matter how strong the technique, it was useless.
"Boom!!!"
Yamabuki extended one hand and blocked all of Chika Shihōin's attacks.
As they fought, Chika Shihōin's upper body clothes were torn to pieces. Of course, they weren't torn by Yamabuki, but by his own spiritual pressure.
Yamamoto had previously taught Yamabuki that when delivering a punch, the power flows from the legs to the waist, from the waist to the back, from the back to the shoulder, and finally to the arm and fist!
Therefore, when activating Shunkō, a large amount of spiritual pressure would condense in the arms and back, causing ordinary clothes to be unable to withstand such an impact.
"No more fighting, no more fighting! You really are a monster. You've only been in the Gotei 13 for less than two months, and your spiritual pressure has already reached this level. If you're given a few more years to develop, you might even take away the title of the strongest Shinigami from the Captain-Commander." Chika Shihōin exclaimed sincerely.
"To catch up to the Old Man's footsteps, I'm still far off." Yamabuki gave a bitter laugh. Even if he went all out now, he couldn't possibly contend with Zanka no Tachi in Bankai. He just asked if he was afraid of a hand-crafted nuclear bomb.
His current basic spiritual pressure was only slightly stronger than Unohana's.
"I'm going to change clothes. You wait for me in the dining hall. I happened to get two bottles of good wine, so let's have a good drink!" A hint of cunning flashed in Chika Shihōin's eyes. Yamabuki, completely unguarded, turned around. Just then, Chika Shihōin suddenly used Shunpo forward!
"Sneak attack!"
Super-high-speed Shunpo combined with Shunkō, while not enough to injure Yamabuki, would certainly make the boy look dishevelled.
However, Chika Shihōin never expected that just as his fist was about to touch Yamabuki, an invisible force blocked between him and Yamabuki. His spiritual pressure-filled fist seemed to encounter an unbreakable wall, and the enormous rebound force made him retreat several steps in disarray.
Only then did Yamabuki realize that this boy was playing dirty with him!
"You just… what was that thing?" Chika Shihōin asked with a look of horror. It was like an indestructible shield.
Yamabuki's face also showed a hint of surprise.
Because he clearly felt that it was not a miracle, but a materialization of his own ability.
Just as Chika Shihōin's fist was about to touch him, a space appeared out of thin air behind him.
It blocked the attack for him.
Spatial-temporal abilities are the most incomprehensible in this world.
A thousand years in the future, when Aizen betrayed the Soul Society and prepared to stand in the heavens, the Menos Grande released "Negación" to welcome their king's return.
The purpose of Negación is to isolate space and time. Once released, those inside the Negación will be shielded from all external harm. At that time, all the captains of the Gotei 13 were gathered at Sōkyoku Hill, and even the Captain-Commander was there, but they were still helpless against this method of isolating space and time.
The space that suddenly appeared behind Yamabuki just now was similar to the effect of Negación.
"Could it be… I've awakened the power of a Hollow again?" Yamabuki clenched his hand, feeling that it was very possible. Let alone awakening a Hollow's ability now, he wouldn't be surprised even if he awakened Fullbring or Schrift.
After all, both of these things are essentially the power of the Soul King.
And for him to have swallowed such a large piece of the Soul King's flesh, it would be strange if nothing abnormal happened.
There was also another possibility: this was not a newly awakened ability, but part of his Zanpakutō's ability.
After all, Yamabuki had once created a miniature space using his Zanpakutō—the one that released Vollständig to take damage for him.
Wait a minute, creating space?
Can I do something interesting with this?
"Fourth Squad, dinner is off. I suddenly have inspiration and need to go back for secluded cultivation. I owe you this meal for now; I'll come eat it another day when I feel like it." Yamabuki threw out a sentence and then hurried home, beginning to ponder what tricks he could pull off with space creation.
His spiritual pressure had greatly increased, and his abilities in all aspects had also improved. After releasing his Zanpakutō, he used its power to create a small spatial sphere about ten centimeters in diameter.
This created spatial sphere was pitch black, with an absolute vacuum inside, no light, no matter, no various field radiations, no laws, and even no time flow.
And most importantly, this small spatial sphere, only ten centimeters in size, was completely isolated from the main world.
No matter what kind of attack, it could not affect the inside of the spatial sphere.
However, this spatial sphere only lasted for less than three seconds before collapsing.
Yamabuki activated his clever little brain and quickly thought of a use for this spatial sphere.
That was, it could block damage for him.
As long as it wasn't certain rule-based damage, this small spatial sphere could block it. Although the area was small, it was enough to protect his heart or head. As for injuries to other places, he didn't need treatment at all. With super-fast regeneration plus Kaidō, even if he were finely minced, he could heal in a few seconds.
Wait!
Why am I going further and further down the path of being a punching bag?
Is it because I've been beaten too many times since my reincarnation?
Use it or lose it?
So I've become more and more tanky!
But since I've researched a new move, I definitely need to spar with someone. Unohana should be back soon.
Not long after, Unohana returned from work at the Eleventh Division. Before she could even eat a bite, Yamabuki dragged her to the basement and mysteriously told her, "Cut me."
Unohana had never heard such an outrageous request in her life, but since he asked, she couldn't refuse. She smiled and drew her sword, then proceeded to hack at Yamabuki like crazy.
However, Unohana soon discovered that every time her sword was about to hit Yamabuki, a strange small sphere would appear and block her sword.
