Looking at the giant centipede Hollow rampaging before him, Genji Takamitsu did not show any sign of panic.
Instead, he calmly raised his hand, and as a thick spiritual pressure gathered, Genji Takamitsu chanted, "Hado No. 63, "Raikoho"!"
The sixth-three Hado, Raikoho, forgoing the incantation, directly exploded on the giant centipede Hollow's hard carapace.
“Boom!!!”
Although the explosion of Raikoho was astonishing, the vast amount of smoke obscured the view of both Genji Takamitsu and Rokaido Yuuji.
“Roar!!”
Suddenly, a roar reverberated with incredible force through the smoke.
A powerful tail attack instantly lashed out towards Genji Takamitsu’s position.
“Swish!”
Thanks to Genji Takamitsu's excellent Shunpo, he was already in mid-air the moment the centipede's tail landed.
In mid-air, Genji Takamitsu knew he might be vulnerable to the centipede Hollow's attacks, but he needed to confirm something.
As Genji Takamitsu's eyes continuously scanned, he finally saw it.
On the centipede Hollow's back, there was an area constantly flashing with lightning. It was the effect of the Raikoho exploding on the centipede Hollow's carapace.
“Did it crack? It seems that the power of Hado No. 63 is enough to deal with it! But just in case...”
Thinking this, Genji Takamitsu quickly moved back using Shunpo, and then again forgoing the incantation, chanted, “Hado No. 73, “Soren Soka-Tsu!””
“Boom!!!”
Two intense and massive fireballs directly slammed into the centipede Hollow’s body.
The hit location was precisely the wound left by the previous Raikoho attack!
“Roar…!!"
The intense pain caused the centipede Hollow to roar loudly.
However, during the roar, a thick spiritual pressure filled with negative emotions was accumulating in the centipede Hollow's mouth!
“Cero…?”
Genji Takamitsu’s pupils instantly flickered crimson.
The powerful Cero shot from the centipede Hollow's mouth was rushing towards Genji Takamitsu.
“Bakudo No. 81, “Danku”!”
“Boom!”
The powerful Cero was directly blocked by an invisible wall.
Genji Takamitsu stood calmly behind the “Danku” wall.
The violent whirlwind generated by the impact directly blew Genji Takamitsu's hair and clothes.
Rokaido Yuuji, hiding on the sidelines, was a little surprised, staring at Genji Takamitsu, who had just replaced his father, Rokaido Moku, as the fourth seat of the fourth squad and the head of the medical corps.
“Forgoing the incantation… The power of the Kidou is actually…”
At the same time, Aizen Sosuke, hiding behind the scenes, couldn’t help but exclaim after observing Genji Takamitsu’s Kidou strength, “Seems he’s a good hand at Kidou!”
Tosen Kaname, however, didn’t think so. “Aizen-sama, it seems that aside from Kidou, this member of the fourth squad has no other remarkable skills.”
“You’re wrong! Kaname!”
Aizen Sosuke said, “Not only in Kidou, look at his footwork while dodging the attacks of the Ayukasu Hollow, and there’s a very important point… See, he’s been fighting for so long, has he ever shown a sign of panting?”
At this moment, Tosen Kaname realized that the Shinigami’s strength in fighting the Ayukasu Hollow seemed extraordinary.
“No sign of panting, this shows remarkable physical prowess, meaning his Hakuda abilities are also excellent! He can dodge the Ayukasu Hollow’s attacks with ease, meaning his Shunpo skills are also excellent. Coupled with his outstanding Kidou abilities and powerful spiritual pressure output, if his swordsmanship is equally impressive, this means he's an all-rounder!”
Aizen Sosuke nodded. “Exactly! Kaname! From his effortless battle, this Shinigami must be hiding his strength! Now let’s see if this Ayukasu Hollow can force him to reveal his hidden abilities!”
As the centipede Hollow charged towards Genji Takamitsu, an astonishing sight unfolded.
The centipede Hollow was as if bound by invisible threads, slowly rising into the air.
Then, Genji Takamitsu chanted, “Inki Rei… Tenmai Tenmai… U-Zero Ye, Kimi Wa Tomaru?!”
“Boom!!”
As Genji Takamitsu finished speaking, the already slightly overcast sky became even darker.
Thunder echoed in the clouds!
A bolt of lightning directly exploded above the Ayukasu.
“Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!”
“Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!”
Light rain started to fall!
“Whoosh… Whoosh…”
As the rain intensified, its color gradually changed from initially transparent to a deep crimson!
After the rain stopped, the Ayukasu trapped in mid-air had vanished, not even leaving behind its remains!
“This… ability… is it a Zanpakuto?” Aizen Sosuke’s lips curved upwards, as if he had seen something interesting.
“Click! Click! Click! Click!”
The sound of footsteps. This was Yoruichi Shihoin, having witnessed everything, walking across the wet ground towards the stunned Genji Takamitsu!
When Yoruichi Shihoin stood in front of Genji Takamitsu and saw his bewildered expression, she smiled slightly.
“Well, well… I rushed over only to witness such an unexpected scene. Don’t you think? Genji-kun.”
Hearing the gentle chide in Yoruichi Shihoin’s laughter, Genji Takamitsu chuckled cheekily, “It’s all thanks to the Captain’s teaching!”
Genji Takamitsu’s words surprised Yoruichi Shihoin. She never expected someone could be so brazen.
“Heh…” Yoruichi Shihoin chuckled softly, then asked nonchalantly, “So… what’s the situation? Have you investigated thoroughly? Genji-kun?”
“Haha… I think it would be more appropriate for Yuuji-kun to explain the situation to the Captain, since you were the first to discover it!”
As he spoke, Genji Takamitsu pulled Rokaido Yuuji, who was hiding in the corner, to Yoruichi Shihoin.
“Yuuji-kun, let you explain to Captain Yoruichi instead, after all, you are the first to discover it!”
Listening to Genji Takamitsu’s lazy words, Rokaido Yuuji looked at Genji Takamitsu thoughtfully, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he turned his head and explained the whole incident to Yoruichi Shihoin.
Back at the Higashi family, Yoruichi Shihoin first nodded to the retired Rokaido Moku, then ignoring Rokaido Moku, who was somewhat excited, she went straight to Higashi Ayumi, who was taking care of her younger brother, Higashi Yoan.
Looking at the mature-looking Higashi Ayumi, Yoruichi Shihoin smiled knowingly, then carefully perceived Higashi Ayumi’s physical condition through her spiritual pressure.
After a thorough examination by Yoruichi Shihoin, Yoruichi Shihoin looked at Genji Takamitsu with surprise.
“I didn’t expect the medicine that Kiyosuke mentioned to have such a great effect! Seems like Genji-kun is quite accomplished in this field!”
Genji Takamitsu scratched the back of his head, smiling shyly, “Where… it’s all thanks to the Captain’s teaching!”
Hearing Genji Takamitsu say the same thing again, Yoruichi Shihoin smiled helplessly, then said to Higashi Ayumi, “Little Ayumi, rest well from now on! Your body will gradually recover!”
“Yes!” Higashi Ayumi looked at the imposingly graceful elder sister and smiled, her dimples blushing like the rising sun. That was hope.
