Chapter 898: Ethan's Reputation

Seeing Renji Asai, who usually looks particularly flamboyant, and being so respectful and polite when facing Ethan, Kurosaki Ichigo became curious about Ethan's identity again.

When he talked about this with Asai Renji while he was practicing, Asai Renji looked at Kurosaki Ichigo with an expression of "you don't know".

"What? Is he really famous?"

The performances of Madarame Kazuki and Asai Renji are reminding Kurosaki Ichigo that Ethan's true identity is definitely not as simple as "just a very ordinary captain" he said.

"You don't know who he is?"

"I only know that he was originally the captain of the thirteenth division of Goutei."

Asai Renji was sure, but Kurosaki Ichigo did not know.

"Mr. Ethan is indeed the former... No, it should be the former captain of the tenth team."

The current captain of the 10th team is Toshiro Hitsugaya, the most famous genius in the ghost world; the former captain of the 10th team is Shiba Isshin, who disappeared suddenly twenty years ago; the predecessor is Ethan.

Asai Renji did not change the captain of Kurosaki Ichigo's 10th Division, but just let Kurosaki Ichigo understand that Ethan was the former captain of the 10th Division.

"He has not been in office for a long time, but until now, many gods of death still remember his name."

"why is that?"

According to Asai Renji's description, Ethan only stayed as the captain of the 10th division for more than ten years, and then left the world of souls with the then captain of the 12th division Urahara Kisuke and the second division captain Shifengin Yoichi .

The specific reason is unknown to most Death Gods now, and a small number of seniors who know about it will not talk about it. They only know that it seemed serious at the time.

Some gods of death who are old enough know the details, but 'young people' like Asai Renji don't know the details.

Kurosaki Ichigo always has a strange feeling when he hears Renji Asai calling himself a 'young man' and hearing that he 'only' joined the Gotei 13th Division for decades.

"You haven't explained why Mr. Ethan has such a great reputation after only serving as the captain for a short time."

"Because Mr. Ethan took in a student during his tenure as captain."

"student?"

Kurosaki Ichigo understood that the focus was on this student.

"Is this student very good?"

Asai Renji suddenly put on a very serious expression, and said a name that shocked Kurosaki Ichigo.

"The current captain of the Sixth Division, Byakuya Kuchiki!"

Whether it is for Asai Renji or Kurosaki Ichigo, the name Kuchiki Byakuya has a special meaning.

Although Asai Renji is the vice-captain of the 6th Division and Kuchiki Byakuya's deputy, his greatest ambition is to surpass Kuchiki Byakuya one day and prove that he is capable enough to become Kuchiki Rukia's 'friend'.

Maybe there are deeper thoughts, but now he doesn't dare to think so much, he is just a "young man" who is scared by the name of the Kuchiki family.

As for Kurosaki Ichigo? The first time he felt powerless was Kuchiki Byakuya, the gap between the opponent and him was beyond description, he didn't even understand what was going on, and the power of Shinigami was abolished by the opponent.

Although Kisuke Urahara and Ethan appeared one after another later, they were still not as impressive as Byakuya Kuchiki.

"I didn't expect...Mr. Ethan is actually that person's teacher?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect...you are also his student."

Asai Renji learned this information from the corner of Madarame. His first reaction was not to believe it, but then he felt that this seemed reasonable, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why the immature little guy before had improved his strength. So fast.

Now all this makes sense, it turns out that I have found such a powerful teacher!

Although many gods of death in Seireitei believe that Ethan's reputation is more due to Kuchiki Byakuya, and many people think that even if there is no Ethan, Kuchiki Byakuya, as the head of the Kuchiki family, his own strength will not be much worse, maybe Ethan is not as powerful as the rumors say.

But as the vice-captain of the Sixth Division, Renji Asai would not think so.

Although he has not been in the Sixth Division for a long time, he can feel how much Kuchiki Byakuya respects his teacher, because when Kuchiki Byakuya is instructing himself to practice, he often mentions himself teacher.

In addition, Renji Asai had been in the 11th team, and apart from Kuchiki Byakuya, the place where the most rumors about Ethan spread was the 11th team!

Therefore, Renji Asai would never think that Ethan had no real strength, but just happened to accept a good student!

On the contrary, he thought that if Ethan hadn't been powerful, he would never have become the teacher of the heir to the Kuchiki family, one of the four nobles, given his background that was completely out of touch with the nobles!

"I hope you can guide my practice."

Asai Renji didn't want to miss this opportunity. After explaining Ethan's situation with Kurosaki Ichigo, he went directly to Ethan and respectfully offered a big gift, asking Ethan to give him some advice.

"Ah, anyway, I want to teach Ichigo, so you come together!"

"ah?"

A Sanjing Renji had already thought about it, he must seize this opportunity, if Ethan disagreed, he would continue pestering him with shamelessness.

It is definitely better to have such a powerful teacher to guide you than to think about it without thinking.

Never expected that Ethan would agree so happily.

"Teaching one is also teaching, and teaching two is also teaching. Anyway, it doesn't make any difference to me..." I glanced at A Sanjing Renji who was in a sluggish state: "What? Is there any problem?"

"No problem, thank you very much!"

Seeing the respectful attitude of Asai Renji, Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly had a feeling of "I'm actually very lucky".

Because of this feeling, Kurosaki Ichigo was very serious during the training, and took Ethan's casual instructions to heart, which surprised Ethan—this kid doesn't seem like a Such an honest and obedient student.

Glancing at Renji Asai next to him, he understood why.

In this kind of training, Kurosaki Ichigo's strength has been steadily increasing, until at night, a huge spiritual pressure suddenly broke out.

The strong wind that hurt the face of the person who was blowing raised a large cloud of dust, and when the dust dissipated, finally revealed Kurosaki Ichigo who had 'changed' his clothes.

"Swastika?"

Asai Renji looked at Kurosaki Ichigo who had obviously changed his appearance, and even the Zanpakuto in his hand became much slimmer and smaller-in fact, it was the size of a normal Zanpakuto, but the Zanpakuto Ichigo used originally. The knife is too big.

"Probably not!"

If it was the original Kurosaki Ichigo, he would definitely regard the current state as his own solution, but now he has a relatively full understanding of his own power, just now he just used all the power he can already master together , resulting in this change.

"Your current posture shows that your spiritual power has become more concentrated."

Ichigo's Zanpakuto is so big, in the final analysis, he does not have enough control over his own spiritual power, and he just barely maintains the huge spiritual power into the appearance of a sword.

In this state, he has really entered the door, and can condense his 'Zanpakuto' to a 'normal state'.

"In addition, this suit can enhance your speed and attack power!"

Just like Quincy's blood-moving outfit, Kurosaki Ichigo's posture is actually a Shinigami-like blood-moving outfit, which can be regarded as the initial fusion of Shinigami's power and Quincy's power.

As for black...it should symbolize the part of Xu's power. Although the proportion of Xu's power in Kurosaki Ichigo's body is not large, the influence is still obvious.

"You can try it. If you really have enough control over your own strength, this posture should also improve your defense."

The static blood outfit can greatly increase the defense power, and can even be completely immune to the attacks of people with lower spiritual pressure than oneself.

The Quincy's 'Blood Equipment' has one attack and one defense, which is a very useful ability. The disadvantage is that these two states cannot coexist, and only one of them can be activated at the same time.

But Kurosaki Ichigo's situation is quite special. Ethan thinks that he can activate two kinds of blood suits at the same time - he needs to infuse the spiritual power into the blood, but exerts the effect in the form of a coat, so it is not unreasonable to activate it at the same time. possible things.

It means that two completely different spiritual power operation methods are activated at the same time, and the requirements for the ability to operate the spiritual energy are relatively high.

"But... Zan Yue is still fooling Ichigo..."

Zan Yue said that he would unreservedly release more power for Ichigo to use, but now it seems that the power of Quincy is still the main force, but Ethan is too lazy to control it.

After Kurosaki Ichigo's "strength greatly increased", Renji Asai finally mastered the swastika.

Compared with Kurosaki Ichigo's impromptu behavior, Asai Renji was only one step away from the 卍jie. With Ethan's guidance, he successfully pierced half a layer of window paper and grasped the incomplete The Swastika Baboon King Shewei Pill.

Of course, Asai Renji didn't know that his swastika was incomplete. After mastering the swastika, he was ready to go to the confession palace to save Rukia.

"You are in this state, but you are dying."

"I know that I have just mastered the swastika, and I am definitely not as good as Captain Kuchiki, who has mastered the swastika for who knows how long..."

"No!" Ethan raised his hand to stop A Sanjing Renji's words: "What I mean is, you haven't cultivated the swastika at all. It's a shame to take out such half-baked things."

"What?"

A Sanjing Renji didn't expect Ethan to say that he didn't master the swastika, but he has already practiced it?

"The growth rate of your spiritual pressure is too low. This cannot be explained just after learning. Renji... Does your Zanpakuto have two consciousnesses?"

Ethan's words reminded Renji, and he immediately understood what was going on: he was only approved by one of the two 'people'.
