Chapter 158 Poor Zhanyue
"You will take the initiative to take over this job."
"I just think this kid's situation is interesting, but if his performance cannot meet my requirements, I will still throw him back to you."
"Oh, is it really good to be so cold to my dear former vice captain's son?"
"You said too, just 'former deputy captain'."
The conversation between the two was very low. Kisuke Urahara took out his folding fan from somewhere and blocked his mouth. Ichigo Kurosaki, who was standing in the distance, not only could he not hear it, but he could not even say "lip reading". Ichigo Kurosaki could not have such ability, right?
He was just surprised: When did that Mr. Ethan run behind the Urahara store manager? He didn't notice this at all.
Just when he was guessing that this person might be very strong, Kurosaki Ichigo was surprised to find that the Zanpakura in Kisuke Urahara's hands had changed back to the appearance of a crutch.
"What? Don't you continue to fight?"
"No, Mr. Ethan will be responsible for your training next."
"ah?"
Before Kurosaki Ichigo understood the current situation, Urahara Kisuke had already run aside and looked like he was watching the fun.
"This, Mr. Ethan?"
"Don't doubt it, I will be responsible for your training next."
With Ethan holding his arms in front of him, he was just swept up and down by the other party with his eyes. Ichigo Kurosaki felt a strange feeling that he had been seen through by the other party, as if no matter what secret he had, he would be known to the other party during this scan.
"Well, what should I do next?"
Since someone has changed to be responsible for his own training, does it mean that the previous inexplicable battle has ended?
"Simple."
Ethan signaled to Ling Tiezhai next to him, then Ling Tiezhai took a strange board and walked over.
It was a very ordinary flat plate. The only special thing was that there was a very sharp awl on this plate.
When Ling Teitai put the board on the ground, Ethan waved to Kurosaki Ichigo and signaled him to come.
"What's this?"
"A tool to help you practice." Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo's face full of wonder, Ethan also explained specifically: "This is a board and pointed cone made of special materials, which can withstand a very powerful impact of spiritual power."
Actually, there are some other effects, but those things can be discussed later.
"Uh...what's the use?"
"The next thing you have to do is simple."
Kurosaki Ichigo quietly waited for Ethan's following. Fortunately, Ethan and Urahara Kisuke were completely different. They did not use exaggerated expressions to explain it, but instead calmly described what Ichigo Kurosaki Ichigo would do next.
"You just need to stand upside down on this pointed cone."
"Stand-up?" Kurosaki Ichigo's head was full of question marks: "On this pointed cone?"
He didn't understand what Ethan meant very much. Could it be that he used this sharp cone as a deterrent? He wouldn't let himself fall down? But what's the use of this kind of training?
"Not what you thought!"
Ethan immediately realized that Kurosaki Ichigo had thought it was wrong, so he had no choice but to give him a demonstration in person: Ethan put his left hand behind, then pointed his right index finger at the sharp tip of the pointed cone, and then slowly turned into an upside down state.
The weight of the whole body is concentrated on the index finger of the right hand, and the sharp cone that bears the tip of the index finger of the right hand. This picture is so impactful. This is not something that people can do at all, right?
“How did this… be done?”
It is obviously not something that humans can do, but it is indeed happening in front of one's own eyes. Ethan has shown it perfectly, so there is no need to say what "it's impossible to do it". Ichigo Kurosaki is curious about how Ethan did it?
"Pay attention to your fingertips!"
Urahara Kisuke gave a kind reminder, if Kurosaki Ichigo himself figured it out, he didn't know how much time he would be wasted.
Kurosaki Ichigo, who was prompted, soon discovered the truth: Ethan's fingertips concentrated a lot of spiritual power. It was precisely with the buffering and stability of the spirit's soul that Ethan could steadily stand upside down on the sharp awl with one index finger.
Kurosaki Ichigo understood the key, so Ethan got off the awl and then made a 'please' position towards Kurosaki Ichigo.
"I?"
Pointing at himself, seeing Ethan nodding at him, Kurosaki Ichigo still felt that this action was incredible, and he still didn't know what to do.
More importantly, he couldn't understand what the meaning of doing this was?
"significance?"
Ethan shook his head helplessly.
"If you don't do this, you'll be beaten to death by me."
"Hahaha, you really love it..."
Before Kurosaki's words could be finished, he suddenly felt a large piece of blue light flashing in front of him. Then he felt as if he had been punched countless times on his body, and his whole body flew out directly.
Bang!
Kurosaki Ichigo, who flew backwards and fell on the ground, slowed down for a while before getting up.
"What are you doing?"
"You have only two choices." Kurosaki Ichigo found that Ethan was standing in front of him: "Practice the way I said; or you can beat me... No, as long as you can hurt me, even if it is a broken skin, you can practice without my requirement."
Kurosaki Ichigo grinned and held the back of his back again in his hand.
"I choose... to knock you down!"
The heavy blade cut directly towards Ethan. I don’t know if it was because of the extraordinary performance of Kurosaki Ichigo’s emotions. Although this knife did not launch the crescent sky rush, the spiritual power contained in the slash was so strong that it burst into dazzling light.
The fierce spiritual power blew up a strong wind, as if reminding everyone around him how powerful this sword was. Even Ichigo Kurosaki, who swung this sword, felt that his attack was very powerful. If Ethan could not avoid it, he would definitely be injured under his attack...
"This is impossible!"
Ethan did not dodge. He just raised his hand gently, and then used his very ordinary flesh palm to catch the sword of Ichigo Kurosaki. Even the huge spiritual power contained in the sword did not cause any impact on Ethan. The strong momentum scattered around. Ethan, who was so close, was like a towering mountain, and he had not even moved his hair.
"It's obviously happening in front of you, why don't you believe this fact?"
Ethan gently grabbed Zhan Yue's blade with his raised hand. The sharp sword was like a blunt knife without a blade. He was grabbed in his hand casually, and even the tender skin in his palm could not be cut through.
"Do you still want to continue?"
Kurosaki Ichigo came back from his shock, and his first reaction was to pull the knife back and continue to fight.
When he made this choice, Ethan felt that he had made a decision, and added a little force on his hand, and then a crisp sound came from the newly born Zhanyue.
Crack! Bang!
The obvious crack spread from the place where Ethan was holding. Kurosaki Ichigo could not believe that the Zanpakura he had just obtained was actually broken by someone's hand.
"Do you still want to continue?"
With the same problem, Kurosaki Ichigo did not draw the knife hard this time, but he was still rejected by Ethan.
Crackling!
Ethan's hand was held slightly hard, and the newly born mid-section of the Kanyue was directly pinched into pieces. The sharp blade part at the front end fell to the ground, while the remaining part was held in the hand by Ichigo Kurosaki who was trapped in a dull state.
"Do you still want to continue?"
It was the same question again, and this time Kurosaki Ichigo finally responded.
"No...no."
The gap between the two sides is too big, how can I fight? Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly felt powerless, and he found that facing Ethan is even more desperate than facing Kuriki Akuya.
"So, as I said, start training!"
“…”
Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the Zanpakura in his hand. He was a little unaware of what to do. He was communicating with his Zanpakura not long ago. As a result, after only a moment of time, the Zanpakura was destroyed. This situation was really... He didn't know how to describe this situation and his mood at this moment.
I don’t know what to do, maybe he can get a little better by following Ethan’s instructions?
Or, after starting training, he had no intention of thinking about those messy things.
"Concentrate your attention on your fingers...what? I don't know how to do it. What do you think when you punch when you fight someone? You just treat that awl as the enemy you want to knock down."
With Ethan's teaching, Kurosaki Ichigo finally knew how to mobilize his spiritual power and concentrate it on one point.
However, compared to the spiritual power brilliance that Ethan could hardly detect and could not even see at all, Kurosaki Ichigo's movement was a bit loud, and his entire forearm was wrapped in the spiritual power brilliance that was blinding the human eyes. The spiritual power visible to the naked eye disappeared, and everyone could see that a lot of spiritual power was wasted.
Ethan did not speak up to remind him, but sat cross-legged not far from Kurosaki Ichigo and just looked at him quietly.
Being stared at this, Ichigo Kurosaki felt that his whole body was covered with nails, as if he would sway him a little, and several holes would be made by the nails.
However, he didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to stand upside down honestly. He still didn't know what the use of this weird training was, but it would be enough to complete the training arranged by the other party by himself? At present, this training is not very difficult...
Kurosaki Ichigo's thoughts could not be hidden from these shrewd guys around him. Kisuke Urahara directly acted like watching the fun: "Oh, Ichigo is going to suffer!"
This training looks very simple, but it was indeed very simple at the beginning, but after a period of time, it will turn into painful torture.
Chapter completed!
