Chapter 873: End of Assessment

Following the familiar Jiefang language, the two weapons in Ethan's hands are no longer invisible invisible blades, but two knives that Jingle Chunshui is very familiar with.

"Oh, this is incredible!"

He wasn't sure whether Ethan's Zanpakuto just imitated his Zanpakuto's appearance, or it could even imitate his ability.

Don't worry about the former, at most it's to frighten unsteady enemies during the battle; if it's the latter, then Ethan's Zanpakuto is very powerful.

"This is the true ability of your Zanpakuto!"

Not only Jingle Chunshui thought of this, but also several people watching the battle came up with this idea, and kept looking at Ethan with surprised eyes.

Leaving aside earlier times, the Gotei 13th Division has a history of two thousand years, but in this long period of time, there has never been such a Zanpakuto in Ethan's hands.

Of course, Zanpakuto's abilities are all kinds of strange things, so far there have never been two identical knives. Although many gods of death have Zanpakuto, they have never been able to truly master the power of Zanpakuto throughout their lives. This also means that there are many Zanpakuto with unique abilities that have been buried for a long time.

Based on this situation, although Ethan's Zanpakuto ability is a bit peculiar, it is not unacceptable.

But... is it really that kind of ability?

This question was quickly answered, Ethan didn't play tricks, and launched another attack when he was still a considerable distance away from Jingle Chunshui.

Not good alone!

Huatian Kuanggu's ability, as the true owner of Huatian Kuanggu, Jingle Chunshui certainly has a way to judge whether this move is just a way to confuse the enemy or is it really not good enough!

"Not good enough to be alone!"

The method is to use the same trick to fight against it. The two tornado blades quickly collided and then canceled each other out.

"Oh, it's not a fake!"

Shunpo started, Jingle Shunsui jumped to a high place at the same time he judged this, and launched an attack on Ethan.

Brand ghost!

Jingle Chunshui's attack was very fast, and he was already in sight in the blink of an eye, and Ethan could only fight hard.

The sound of the blade hitting was very ear-shattering. Jingle Shunsui's attack was so powerful that Ethan felt his hands go numb after receiving the knife.

This is the ability of the new ghost. To put it simply, the attack launched by the one who lives in a higher level will have an additional power bonus, even enough to instantly kill the enemy.

If it wasn't for the fact that Jingle Chunshui didn't jump high enough to ensure that Ethan didn't have enough time to dodge, this knife would have decided the winner.

After the two knives retreated slightly and separated a little distance, Ethan stepped hard and also jumped into the sky.

Jingle Chunshui's reaction was quick, and he immediately jumped up, but Ethan took the lead, so he couldn't overtake Ethan and jump to a higher place. He just reduced the height difference between the two, and weakened Yisen by changing direction. The strength of Sen's attack.

Due to the reduced strength, the collision in mid-air failed to separate the two, so Jingle Chunshui took advantage of the situation and slashed again.

"black!"

Jingle Chunshui's knife was very fast, but what surprised him was that Ethan didn't seem to have the intention of dodging, but took the knife forcefully, and immediately launched a counterattack.

"Pink!"

Sexy ghost!

It is also one of Huatian Kuanggu's abilities. After activating Yangui, he can actively choose (call out) a certain color to attack - after confirming, he can only attack the area covered by this color.

Generally speaking, the side that chooses the color occupies a larger area on its own body, and the fewer colors on the opponent's body, the greater the damage it can cause after hitting, even if it is not a vital point, it may directly kill the opponent.

If the one who chooses the color has a small body and the other has many colors, even if it is cut on a vital point, it will only leave a small wound.

The higher the risk, the greater the reward!

Jingle Chunshui calls black, because Ethan's death suit is all black, he can attack many areas, and he himself has a pink haori coat, and there is a layer of white captain's haori inside, and the inside is In the black death tyrant outfit, there was much less black exposed than Ethan.

And it was the same when Ethan launched the attack, there was a lot of pink on Jingle Chunshui's body, and almost none on his body.

So although both of them hit each other, they barely caused any harm to each other.

Landing separately, Jingle Shunsui can be sure of one thing: Ethan's Zanpakuto can not only copy the opponent's abilities, but also allow the user, Ethan, to understand these abilities.

Because Jingle Shunsui did not explain the ability of his Zanpakuto to Ethan. If it is said that Ethan reacted quickly enough and immediately realized the change in attack power, then Yangui used it almost at the same time as himself. .

"It's really like cheating!"

Knowing the ability of the opponent's Zanpakuto directly while fighting, you have an innate advantage in intelligence, and you already have an advantage before you fight.

"Thank you for the compliment, band leader Beijing."

Jingle Shunsui also thought of another point, that is, the ability of Ethan's Zanpakuto "learn" will be mastered by Ethan for a long time. The previous display such as manipulating the wind, changing the shape of the weapon, and that kind of healing ability is probably all Yisen's ability. Mori learned Zanpakuto from others.

"I just don't know if there are any activation conditions?"

"This..."

Ethan smiled, but didn't answer directly. This kind of matter related to Zanpakuto's biggest secret, even if the captain asked, Ethan could refuse to answer.

"Ah, I just mutter something casually, you don't need to answer."

Jingle Chunshui turned his hands, and after releasing Huatian Kuanggu's initial solution state, he took the knife back into the sheath.

"Old man..." Jingle Shunsui, who was cast in the eyes by Shigekuni Yamamoto, immediately changed his words: "Captain Yamamoto, my subordinates believe that Vice Captain Ethan is fully capable of serving as the captain of the Gotei 13th Division."

Even if Kyoraku Shunsui doesn't stop, Yamamoto Shigekuni also considers calling a stop. Not to mention Ethan's Zanpakuto, since Jingle Shunsui has not really forced out Ethan's full strength until now, his strength fully meets the requirements of being the captain.

Swastika solution? That wasn't a necessary condition at all—if two people continued to fight like this, even if they didn't undo the swastika, casualties would most likely occur. After all, this was just an assessment, not a life-and-death duel.

"That's it, the captain's assessment ends here!"

Shigekuni Yamamoto didn't directly announce whether Ethan was qualified or not, but asked Unohana Retsu to take Ethan away, and he discussed alone with the three captains, Kuchiki Yinling, Shifengin Yaichi, and Kyoraku Shunsui.

Although the result was not directly announced, judging from Uno Hana Retsu's expression, this is just a matter of procedure, and his promotion should be finalized.

In fact, after Ethan left, Shigekuni Yamamoto simply asked the opinions of the other three captains, including Kuchiki Yinling, who all expressed their approval of Ethan's strength, and Ethan's succession as the captain of the 10th squad was confirmed.

Ethan didn't even walk out of the gate of the first team, Ye Yi had already caught up.

"It turns out that your Zanpakuto has this kind of ability... such a bad ability is really suitable for you."

Ethan smiled wryly and didn't respond. Strictly speaking, it wasn't Zanpakuto's ability, but his own power—just like in the Naruto world, he could use any trick he could think of as he wanted, and now he The same can be done, as long as the spiritual pressure is enough to support the consumption.

"Now you are also the captain."

"No official appointment yet."

Although the assessment has ended, there seems to be no problem, but the process still needs to go, and it will take a few days to officially issue the appointment.

"The rest are just formal procedures, and there is no possibility of accidents."

"Yes, basically you have been confirmed as the captain of the 10th division." Unokanaretsu, who had been quietly on the sidelines, suddenly sighed helplessly: "At first I thought you had great potential, and I thought you could use it for decades. , I didn’t expect it to run away after only a few years of use.”

"..."

Ethan really wanted to complain, 'It's easy to cause misunderstanding! ’, but in the end I held back and turned to express my gratitude to Unohana Retsu for his care over the years.

"After you leave, I have to find a new deputy captain."

Ethan didn't recommend Huche Yuyin without further ado. The current Yuyin is just an ordinary god of death, with insufficient ability and knowledge. Forcibly promoting her will only harm her.

As for potential? As long as she has potential, she will not be buried under Uzhi Hualie's eyes, and she will make her mark sooner or later.

In any case, Ethan seems to be leaving the fourth team. This does not mean that the next days will be very leisurely, and even become busier than usual, because the work at hand has to be handed over.

As the vice-captain of the fourth team, even if his biggest job is to accompany the captain to practice swordsmanship, it doesn't mean that Ethan really doesn't care about anything. So many things in the fourth team, big and small, will be brought together to him. Now he has to clean up all the unfinished work at hand, and at the same time instruct the chief officer below to deal with the latest new problems by himself, and directly ask the captain for instructions if he can't solve them.

In this case, anyone with a normal mind would know that Ethan is leaving the fourth team, and Ethan, who is already the vice-captain, doesn't have many places to go after leaving the current team.

In Ethan's situation, it is impossible to leave Gotei 13th Division to go to some special organization, so the only possibility is to be promoted to captain.

But Ethan didn't admit it. Without accurate information, everyone could only guess privately.

It wasn't until ten days later that the first team held the inauguration ceremony for the new captain, and Ethan appeared in front of everyone wearing a white captain's haori, that everyone got an affirmative answer.

Ethan, wearing a brand new white captain's haori, walked to the first team building with Unokanaru, but found that he came too early, and the other captains hadn't arrived yet.

"It's too early, isn't it?"

Fortunately, it was not too early, and soon the captains arrived one after another.
