Chapter 382: Infernal Affairs

Below the First Squad's quarters, the lowest floor of the Mao Underground Prison. Infernal.

There are no prisoners on this floor at present, and it was specially authorized for Lu Li and others to use today.

The Central 46th Chamber was reluctant about this matter, but the captain said that he would supervise the battle and said that this was a necessary training test during the reorganization of the Gotei 13, and the group of sages had no choice but to approve it.

Everything in this world is relative. For example, the decision of the Central 46th Chamber seems very strong, and even the captains cannot refute it.

But this rule does not apply to Yamamoto Genryusai. As the strongest god of death in a thousand years and the mainstay of the Gotei 13, even the Central 46th Chamber has to give him face.

To be honest, Lu Li thinks that Captain Yamamoto is just a person who is more concerned about the overall situation and abides by the rules. If it were someone else, he might have fallen out with the Central 46th Chamber long ago.

"It's really open, a good place to fight."

Kenpachi Zaraki sighed after entering this floor. He has no culture, but he thinks that the building materials here are very special, not easy to damage, and can withstand extremely strong spiritual pressure shocks, which will not be sensed by the outside world.

After he followed Lu Li and Unohana into this floor, he didn't walk far before he saw an old man leaning on a cane in the dim light.

The moment he saw the other person, Kenpachi Zaraki instinctively became excited because he couldn't feel the other person's spiritual pressure, but he could smell the scent of a strong man.

Sure enough, the captain didn't lie to him. The Gotei 13 was full of strong men, and the old man in front of him must be stronger than the captain.

"Lu Li, Lie, you should all know the rules. Everything you see on this floor must not be leaked."

Captain Yamamoto stood there, like a stabilizing force.

This floor originally held several prisoners, but during the transfer, no prisoner dared to think of escaping from prison.

Just because this old man stood here, the end of escaping from prison was to be instantly wiped out.

Lu Li and Unohana were brought down by the Sparrow Department. During the period, the Sparrow Department used a special ghost way that allowed them to directly pass through this floor without passing through other floors or contacting other prisoners.

The Maou Underground Prison is such a strict place. Even the upper floors are full of dangerous serious criminals.

Soul Society has a long history. Since the establishment of the Three Realms, there have been five great nobles. They have continued the history of millions of years. The establishment of the Maou Underground Prison was even before the Seireitei.

In the long years, there have been countless geniuses in Soul Society, and a considerable number of masters are imprisoned in the prison.

If there were no extraordinary masters like the captain-general sitting in the Seireitei, just releasing these people would be enough to destroy Soul Society, which is a more terrible force than the previous Quincy army.

Therefore, if it is not necessary, the Maou Underground Prison refuses visits and is used in other fields.

The Central 46th Room approved the use, but if Lu Li and Unohana fought to other floors, they would be convicted of serious crimes.

"What a gloomy place, is this the Infernal Realm..."

Lu Li sighed, the atmosphere of this floor made people very uncomfortable, if it were not for the battle arranged today, it should be dark without a trace of light.

There are eight floors in the Zhenyang underground prison. In Lu Li's understanding, it corresponds to the eight hot hells in the Buddhist scriptures. The bottom layer of Wujian is described in the ancient books he is familiar with.

That is, the space is extremely large and vast. The ghosts who enter it cannot escape. Wujian hell stands under the southern continent, with an area of ​​about 300,000 kilometers.

This is also reflected in the world of death. Before entering the Wujian area on the eighth floor, they were in front of a bronze door and unlocked it with a key before entering.

Rather than saying that this is a dungeon-like building, it is better to say that it is a different space. People without keys will never be able to enter.

Similarly, without the key outside to open the door, people inside will never be able to come out.

There is no gap in the Wujian layer, and the space is infinite. Lu Li asked Mao Zhihua, but the other party did not know when and how this place was made.

If you are locked up here for a long time in this silent and lightless place where everything is nothing, it is enough to make people mentally ill.

This made Lu Li admire Sosuke in the original novel. His whole body was sealed, and his ears, eyes and mouth were also sealed. He was imprisoned in such a place for a long time and could still maintain his sanity. It was indeed not something that ordinary people could do.

"Has there been no prisoners imprisoned here before?"

Lu Li asked the captain curiously.

"Have you forgotten what I just said? You can't tell what you see and hear here after you go out. Even if you know it, what's wrong?"

The captain looked serious and did not satisfy Lu Li's curiosity.

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, knowing that there might be prisoners imprisoned here before, but they were temporarily transferred. They must be very dangerous, or they must be people who violated the taboos of the Soul Society. The nobles and the Central Forty-Sixth Chamber did not want them to contact the outside world, and even information could not be transmitted.

Like Sosuke, strength is one aspect, but thoughts are more dangerous to the Forty-Sixth Chamber and the nobles. They are thought prisoners.

"It's been a while since I let go of my fighting, how should I start?"

Unohana walked to the center of the arena, untied her braids one by one, and her gentle aura spread out with her long hair, dissipating into nothingness.

Lu Li walked to the opposite side of Unohana, stretched his muscles, and prepared to enjoy this duel of top skills.

He knew that Captain Unohana was in a constrained state at that time, and did not show even one ten thousandth of her strength according to her own assessment. Unohana in her prime should be able to fully display her eight thousand skills.

Zaraki Kenpachi was led by Takube to the captain's side. He looked at Lu Li and Unohana excitedly, not daring to miss the slightest detail of the duel. He was a battle maniac and would never let go of anything related to battle. Even if I am watching the game, I want to see all the processes.

However, the old man standing next to him interrupted his concentration, "Is this the newcomer Lu Li brought back from Rukongai?"

"His name is Zaraki Kenpachi, he is a very talented young man."

Quebe introduced that he was also very old, so to him Zaraki was just young, and of course Lu Li was as young as a child.

"It's indeed impressive. Although I haven't received any systematic training, I already have such powerful spiritual pressure, and my foundation is very solid."

The captain looked at Zaraki Kenpachi and said, "It's just that his cutting skills are a bit poor."

"Oh? Old man, you said my beheading skills are poor?"

Zaraki was a little dissatisfied when he heard this. His sword had killed countless guys who claimed to be strong. How could he be so bad at cutting?

These days, Lu Li always said that his fighting skills were not good and asked him to learn the art of beheading. He didn't know where he fell behind.

And the old man in front of him said that he was poor at chopping since he had never seen his fighting posture. How did he tell that?

"It can be seen from your gait, movements, and arm movement habits that you don't know how to cut."

Captain Yamamoto said, "Didn't Lu Li teach you? Or did you not study hard?"

Lu Li and Uzhihua also noticed the movement on Captain Yamamoto's side, but neither of them interrupted and just focused on their opponent.

Lu Li didn't teach Zaragi the slicing technique these days. He was more interested in helping Zaraki get back into fighting shape, allowing him to unleash a lot of potential, and teaching him the details and basics of footwork in combat.

After Zaragi's foundation is stable and his potential is released, he will learn the cutting technique much faster.

In the original work, Captain Yamamoto only taught Zaraki Kenpachi the one-day slicing technique, but if Zaraki used it properly, he would instantly crush the fiftieth blade.

According to Central Room 46, Zaraki's potential power is too strong, and he only needs to fight randomly to achieve powerful captain-level strength.

If he learns the art of beheading, he will become a huge threat. Considering his mischievous personality, once he rebels, no one except the captain can stop him.

Therefore, the Central Room 46 has not allowed Zaraki Kenpachi to learn the slicing technique. It was not until the Thousand-Year Blood War Chapter that he was pressured to allow Unohana to teach Zaraki the slicing technique.

But it was said that he was taught the art of slicing, but in reality it was just a life-and-death fight, which allowed Zaraki to stimulate his potential and learn Hakkai and Swastika.

During this process, although Zaraki's slashing skills had grown slightly, he could not be said to have 'learned' them. When fighting, he was still chopping randomly based on instinct.

Yhwach completely failed to achieve the level that Yhwach's special combat power should have. In theory, Zaraki Kenpachi should have a higher upper limit, as long as he can seriously learn the slicing technique and maximize his power.

The reason why Lu Li brought Zaraki Kenpachi here was to let the captain take care of this guy before Central Room 46 noticed him. After he left, he wanted to take over the squad of the 11th Squadron. Son, can be regarded as the mainstay of Seireitei's combat power.

Oh, he's not trying to make things difficult for Soyousuke, because essentially the most difficult enemies they have to deal with are not the Shinigami.

"Oh? Captain Unohana, what does this mean?"

Lu Li asked with interest when he saw Mao Zhihua making a starting move but not drawing his sword.

"You may not know this, but thousands of years ago, as the first Kenpachi, I once called myself the Yachi-ryu."

Mao Zhihua said, "I think I know all the schools and beheading techniques in the world. Does Mr. Lu think that I only know beheading techniques?"

When Lu Li heard this, he inserted the prisoner demon back into the prison half an inch out of its sheath, with a smile on his face, "As a sideshow, it's really a good start."

As he spoke, there was a loud explosion behind him, and the storm of the ghost path turned into two wild dragons, breaking through his Death Tyrant suit. After the instant coax and ghost armor were activated, Lu Li's speed reached its peak in an instant.

The next moment, his figure appeared above the side of Uozhihua, and swept towards Uozhihua's head with one kick.

Uozhihua responded very quickly. She turned slightly to the side, raised her hand, flipped her wrist, and grabbed Lu Li's ankle while using the force. At the same time, she burst out with power, spinning and throwing Lu Li away.

Her steps were light, but her speed was not slow at all. She ducked and appeared under Lu Li's body in mid-air. Her hands turned into fists and hit Lu Li's spine.

Lu Li quickly flipped in the air and dodged the blow. When he dodged the blow, he caught Uozhihua's wrist in the gap between his arm and body, and used the power of rotation to twist the opponent's arm.

But Mao Zhihua took advantage of the situation and spun lightly towards Lu Li. At the same time, his other hand reached out and clasped toward Lu Li's throat.

Lu Li reluctantly let go, and both parties were thrown away simultaneously under the action of inertia, stepping on two stalactite-like pillars.

The stalactites under Lu Li's feet exploded due to the huge force, but Mao Zhihua was as light as a flying butterfly when he moved. The figures of both parties turned into streams of light that ordinary people could not see at extremely high speeds. The air flow set off by the collision blew the spectators. their clothes.

The two masters collided and separated quickly in the battle. Each move contained countless games, and each chose the best way to deal with it.

Lu Li's eyes were filled with excitement during the battle. He should have thought that since Maozhihua dared to call herself Yaqianliu and mastered all the schools in the world, of course she was not only good at slicing.

Strictly speaking, the other party is a martial arts master like himself, he knows everything, and he has dabbled in all kinds of moves.

It's just that as a god of death, when facing an enemy in life or death, the most common way to use it is to rely on the zanpakuto's slicing technique.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had gone through thousands of moves, but no one was injured. They each used their own means to dodge or resolve them.

Outside the venue, Zaraki Kenpachi's eyes widened. He didn't expect that in addition to slashing people with a knife, he could also exert such strong combat power with just his fists and feet.

The two opponents he targeted simply exceeded his imagination of strength. The moves they made every time they clashed were so exquisite that even a reckless man like him could see how extraordinary they were.

"Look carefully, I'm not asking you to learn their useless fighting skills, but I'm asking you to see their footwork and timing of their attacks."

The captain pointed at Kenpachi from the side, "You can't defeat a strong enemy by just cutting people with a crude sword."

He heard Chojiro briefly talk about Kenpachi's deeds, and he knew that this was another rare piece of jade, but it was a pity that it was discovered a little late.

If Zaraki Kenpachi could be discovered and taught by him at a very young age like Lu Li, he might have become the strongest Shinigami besides him by now.

But the teaching is not over yet. Zaraki Kenpachi still has a strong foundation. As long as his potential is discovered, he will still be a strong captain.

boom--

While the two were having a conversation, the battle in the Infinite Battlefield heated up.

Lu Li's fist collided with Mao Zhihua's palm wind, and the power of spiritual pressure and martial arts moves burst out, causing them to retreat backwards under the pressure of the storm.

"No wonder the little girl from the Sifengyuan family is not your opponent. Mr. Lu is impeccable even in the field of vain defeat..."

Unohana said with emotion, her long hair spread out, and part of it fell in front of her body, which made her look a little more gloomy.

She stretched out her hand to the fleshy flesh at her waist and said, "Let's stop having fun here. Let me see how much the former students have grown."
