Chapter 857: Soul Realm
Of course, it is impossible for Fan Helsing to awaken Zanpakuto, even if he awakens, he will also awaken the X gene... This is also impossible.
As a strange feeling filled his whole body, it took Ethan some time to recover. At this time, he had come to a new world.
Before teleporting, he saw part of the 'picture' about the new world, so he knew where he was.
Soul world!
Even his specific location can be determined: the eightiest district at the outermost edge of Liuhun Street.
The most stable and prosperous place in the world of corpses and souls is naturally Seireitei, and outside Seireitei is Ruhun Street, which is distributed in four directions, southeast, northwest, and outside Seireitei, and each direction is divided into 80 areas.
In this world, the souls of the dead will be sent to Liuhun Street. Because there are more than 300 areas, people who were acquainted with each other before death will not be sent to the same area even if they die at the same time.
In addition, the outermost areas are more chaotic, and the outermost eighty district is the place with the most chaotic living environment.
For this reason, although Ethan was already able to move around, he still didn't run around in a hurry, but continued to shrink in the corner of the street to observe the surrounding situation, and hoped to "familiarize with this new body" earlier.
It may be inaccurate to say that it is a body. Now he is completely composed of "energy", which is similar to the "dead people" composed of "spirits" around him. After all, his body has been torn into pieces by the countess version Serena Fragments, and his compressed power did not release and form a new divine body, but only released a little power, combined with the soul to become a spirit body state.
"In other words, I didn't recover my strength directly..."
This is really bad news, but compared to the previous situation where the power was completely suppressed, he can feel that his current state is like unlocking the seal, as long as he finds the right method, he can change steadily. powerful'.
No matter what, since it's already here, let's live it first.
"I don't know what time I've arrived."
The time span of the main story of Bleach is not long. The hero Kurosaki Ichigo didn't even have time to finish high school from the beginning to the end, and the plot ended.
If we explore the cause and effect in detail, the time span involved is quite astonishing, and the longest span can reach thousands of years.
Even if the content of the pure background setting is ignored, the plot that has been described in detail can be pushed forward to more than a hundred years before the beginning of the plot.
In Ethan's previous situation, it was usually at the beginning of the plot.
This time is different from the past, he is not the one who decides, who knows when he was thrown?
Thinking about it carefully, with my current situation, it should be the worst situation if it falls directly at the beginning of the plot.
He is an ordinary 'person' now, even if he has a cheat, it will take a while to transform it into strength.
In this case, he is not suitable at all, and he has no ability to participate in the plot - of course, he does not have to participate in the plot, if this test is only to restore his strength, then the plot has nothing to do with him related.
Considering that in the Millennium Blood War chapter, the entire world of corpses and souls has become a battlefield, and if the strength is not enough, even self-protection cannot be done.
So for Ethan, the best situation is to come long before the start of the plot, so that he can stay in the house for a thousand or eight hundred years, even if he can't recover his original powerful strength, even if he only learns and cultivates the world for such a long time Strength is also enough for him to have the power to protect himself.
"Go around first!"
Ethan's current goal is to leave this place. Whether it is to find a place to practice or live, it is not very suitable as the outermost place of Liuhun Street——in the world of corpses and souls that do not need to eat, only need to drink water to survive , Even water is a rare commodity in the 80th district of Liuhun Street, which shows how bad the living environment in this place is.
Under certain conditions, Ethan, who has never made trouble for himself in life, is absolutely unwilling to settle down in this place, even if he just walked for a long time and beat up four blind guys, and even robbed some Money, so that I have the most basic living expenses.
Soon, he was glad that he was able to meet a few bastards and solved the most basic living expenses problem, because he found that he would be hungry. According to the setting of this world, he has a good spiritual pressure, so he can't just rely on "breathing" 'And drink water to survive, must eat.
Ethan didn't plan to live in one place for a long time, and it was impossible to do a regular job to earn living expenses. The first few gangsters pointed out a simple way for him: to deal with those unpopular guys.
Since Ethan never stayed in the same place, and those people seldom left the area they were familiar with, although they beat many people along the way, they rarely encountered retaliation.
In fact, he really hopes that these guys will take revenge on him, which means that he can make a fortune again, and then maybe he can consider changing himself to a new set of clothes?
His current body is new, and his clothes are "distributed" in this world, which are very common coarse clothes. Along the way, he saves as much money as possible to buy food, because he feels that as the more and more The closer you get to Seireitei, the smaller the number of Ruhun Street, the law and order should get better and better, and your income will gradually decrease.
In the end, he found that he was wrong. Even if he had already reached an area with a very high number, he could still encounter that annoying scum.
And as the living environment and economic conditions in these areas get better, the oil and water on these guys has become more and more.
Not only did Ethan's income not decrease, but it showed a tendency to increase. In this case, he didn't need to save any more. He just changed into a set of comfortable clothes for himself, and then continued in the direction of Seireitei.
Under normal circumstances, civilians in Ruhun Street are not allowed to enter Seireitei at will. But there is one exception, and that is the enrollment of Maou Academy of Spiritual Art.
If Ethan wants to enter Seireitei reasonably, becoming a student of Mao Lingju Academy is the easiest way.
What Ethan values even more is that the Shinyang Academy of Spiritual Art provides food, housing, and distribution. After graduation, he can continue to live in Seireitei, which is very attractive to Ethan who does not want to live a poor life.
In addition, entering the Zhenyang Academy of Spiritual Art can also allow him to determine what time he is in?
So far, he only knows that the 13th Guarding Team has already been established. After all, the Maou Academy of Spiritual Art has already been established, and it should have been established for a long time.
Apart from these, no further information was collected. Ruukon Street and Seireitei are like two worlds. If you don't enter Seireitei, it is difficult to know the information of those "upper people".
Even just to determine the timeline, he had to enter the Maou Academy of Spiritual Art.
Unfortunately, the timing of Ethan's arrival was not so coincidental. Some time ago, the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts had just completed the enrollment for this year. If he wanted to enter the Academy of Spiritual Arts, he would have to wait another year.
As for showing talent and then causing shock, leading Captain Yamamoto out and even crying and yelling to accept him as an apprentice, Ethan didn't think about it.
He knows that he has great potential, but other people don't have the ability to see this. At most, these people think that Ethan is a young man with some potential. In the soul world, people need to eat to maintain themselves Those who survive are considered to have potential.
That is to say, there is no difference on the surface between Ethan and those freshmen who were recruited into Maou Academy of Spiritual Art.
"Wait one more year, wait one more year!"
Just taking advantage of this time to better adapt to the new life, Ethan settled down in Runlin, the first district outside the Seiling Court.
Through the "hard work" during this period, Ethan has already accumulated some money, even if he does nothing in the future, it is enough to guarantee a year of food and clothing.
However, he will always feel bored after staying at home for a long time, so he occasionally takes on some odd jobs to pass the time.
Except for going out to 'release', Ethan spent the rest of his time 'recovering' his strength.
He found that it was very difficult to regain his own strength according to the familiar route in the past. On the contrary, if he 'followed' the rules of this world to practice, his strength would improve very quickly.
Even before the new enrollment of Maou Lingshu Academy started, he condensed a Zanpakuto that was completely his own.
"..."
The original prototype of Zanpakuto in this world was created by Ermei Yawangyue. As for whether he can 'obtain' his own Zanpakuto with his own ability, there is no clear answer given in the setting.
However, Ethan has always felt that Ermei Yawangyue just lowered the threshold for Shinigami to have his own Zanpakutō, and provided a container for Shinigami to awaken Zanpakuto more easily.
Otherwise, the protagonist Kurosaki Ichigo even used the swastika without Asahi, and as a result, none of the shinigami, including Captain Yamamoto, doubted it? When Urahara Kisuke taught, he didn't say to give Kurosaki Ichigo a shallow blow, but directly let him communicate with the Zanpakutō itself.
These situations all prove that Shinigami can directly awaken Zanpakuto without relying on Asahi.
But Ethan's situation is even more special, the one in his hand... It's really hard to say whether it is Zanpakuto or not. The biggest difference is that he can be sure that there is no such thing as a knife spirit in this thing. This knife is just the embodiment of part of the extremely compressed power.
"According to the previous routine, a freshman like me who has Zanpakuto before entering school will definitely attract attention?"
Facts have proved that Ethan was overthinking again. When he ran to sign up with a long knife in his hand, the recruiters only thought that he "picked up" an ordinary shallow slap from nowhere, and didn't think that he already had his own. Think about Zanpakutō.
The gods of death often perform dangerous missions, and it is very common for the sabers around them to be taken away after they die in battle, so Ethan didn't attract anyone's attention, and became a freshman at Maou Lingshu Academy calmly, starting his academy career again .
