In the hollow of the Urahara store's backyard.
Ichigo Kurosaki and Kisuke Urahara went back and forth with swords, and they fought happily.
All of a sudden, Urahara Kisuke began to release his Zanpakutō, and smashed the rocks not far away with a wave.
Ichigo's face finally became solemn, and he felt an extraordinary spiritual pressure surging throughout the entire battle circle.
Chen Qi watched the showdown between the two with great interest.
Suddenly, Urahara Kisuke flew away and slashed with a sword.
Ichigo Hengdao blocked, but Urahara cut his blade directly.
"Look, look, the spiky head is still a spiky head after all, he probably still doesn't know how powerful the store manager is." Hanagari Jinta muttered like this.
In the face of such a powerful enemy, Ichigo did not dare to be careless. When Urahara swung his sword again, Ichigo blocked it with a broken sword, and this time it seemed to be blocked.
Urahara Kisuke said to him: "I didn't run away, but caught my sword with a broken sword. It's really worthy of praise, but [Kungi] is not something that your Zanpakutō can stop."
As soon as he finished speaking, Urahara Kisuke's [Kuji] cut off Ichigo's broken knife like a piece of meat.
【It's really abominable! How could such a sharp Zanpakutō cut off my sword. 】
Thinking like this, Ichigo felt a great threat and hurriedly turned around and ran away.
"I said, you only have some strength. Your spiritual power has not condensed, but it has expanded into the shape of a knife. Therefore, I can easily cut it off!"
As Urahara Kisuke said this, he swung up another sword, this time directly cutting off Ichigo's hilt.
Chen Qi, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but marvel at this scene. He didn't know whether it was Kisuke Urahara's sword that was too hard or Ichigo's sword was too soft.
Urahara Kisuke said again: "What are you going to do now? You don't have a knife anymore, do you still want to use it to deal with me? I said, as long as you can cut off my hat, you will pass the level, but now there is no knife. A knife with a handle, can you still do it? In fact, this is not something that can be done only by courage and courage, I have a word in advance, if you plan to use that toy to fight with me, I will definitely kill you!"
From his eyes, Chen Qi seemed to be able to see that Urahara didn't seem to be watching a joke.
Damn, **** it! It's over, I'm dead, I'm going to die! But what am I doing? Why run? Is this the only level of courage I have? What a shame!
The above sentence is a monologue from Ichigo's heart.
However, at this critical moment, a figure appeared in front of Ichigo.
It was a rough man in a black robe suspended at a low altitude, staring at him, and said solemnly: "Ichigo, why are you running?"
Isn't this man the uncle he met in the mind space?
Ichigo couldn't help but startled: "Uncle, you—"
The rough man said again: "There is only one enemy, and you are alone. What are you afraid of? Forget your fear, look ahead, go ahead, and go forward! Remember my name, it's called Zhanyue!"
Suddenly, the rough man quickly merged with Ichigo's broken knife, and an even larger spiritual pressure surged towards the surroundings, and a strong dust mist was set off from all sides, blowing it to the point where Hanagarori Jinta and Yuu Yuyu couldn't open. Eyes, and even more exaggerated, the spectacle lenses holding Ritetsusai were cracked.
When the dust and mist gradually dissipated, the scene in front of them could not help but make everyone shocked.
"Well, that Zanpakutō, the hilt and gauntlet can't be seen at all. The shape of the katana doesn't seem to be complete."
"I think the previous one is better."
Hanagarashi was waiting there to discuss, and Ichigo's Zanpakutō seemed to be a giant butcher's sword.
At this moment, Urahara Kisuke raised a finger and said, "Very good, your Zanpakutō finally appeared, so let's officially enter the third round of testing."
Ichigo obtained the Zanpakutō, and it seems that he has regained his power. With power, people have confidence and courage. He said: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Urahara, please hide."
Urahara Kisuke puzzled: "What did you say?"
Ichigo: "I won't show mercy!"
"Tweet! Kouji!" Urahara Kisuke snorted softly, his Zanpakutō shining brightly again.
However, at this moment, Ichigo was quick and swift, and slashed towards the opponent's hat with a knife, and his hat fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Ichigo stopped attacking.
Urahara Kisuke picked up the hat that fell on the ground, brushed off the dust on it, and then put it on his head: "The hat was actually torn, I didn't expect that just a wave like that would have the power to cover up, Mr. Kurosaki, you What a horrible guy. Well, you passed the third round."
————————
Time seemed to pass quickly, and after passing all the tests of Kisuke Urahara, the summer vacation came. During this period of time, Urahara Kisuke did not know what method he was using to get through the road to the Soul Realm. During this time, Chen Qi and Ichigo also took time to visit their classmates.
The first thing they went to were Keigo Asano and Suika Kojima, who had been playing well.
Ichigo said, "Isn't it just to watch the fireworks show today? Is it necessary to call everyone together in broad daylight?"
Keigo Asano still looked nervous, shouting: "What are you talking about? Do you know how long I've been looking forward to this day? I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night! "
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Chen Qi's head: "As for this?"
Qi Wu shouted: "Of course! Chen Qi, you really don't understand people's hearts! In fact, I seem to be gathering! To be honest, during your absence, it's boring to go out alone. , so on a hot day, I can only play games at home, and in the past few days, I have cleared all twelve games."
Chen Qi complained: "You are really talented in playing games."
"Hi!"
"Tenqi-san, Kurosaki-san, Asano-san, Kojima-san, you are all doing well!"
At this time, Inoue Orihime, Chato Taihu, and Arisawa Ryuki also came.
Seeing them, Chen Qi also said hello: "Aizawa-san, Inoue-san, it's really rare, Chadu-san actually came."
Not only that, everyone saw that Aizawa Longgui's right hand was plastered and bandaged. Ichigo asked, "Long Gui, what happened to your hand?"
Arisawa Ryuki looked down at his hand, and seemed a little embarrassed to explain to everyone: "Ah, this, I only won the second place in the high school taekwondo competition."
Chen Qi: "Huh? Runner-up?"
Long Gui sighed: "Yeah, it's really maddening, if it wasn't for my arm injury, I would definitely have won the championship—"
