Bleach: The Shinigami Who Inherited Hashirama Chapter 27: Kidō Sparring: One Versus Two!

[please send power stones]

"How… is that even possible?!"

"Even if Bai Chen really can learn Kidō at a glance—this fireball is way too terrifying!"

"Is this really… Shakkahō?"

Matsumoto Rangiku stared in shock, her beautiful eyes reflecting the enormous blazing sphere hovering before Bai Chen.

So stunned was she that she covered her mouth instinctively.

Beneath her black Shihakushō, her breathing quickened—and the unmistakable movent that followed made the scene even harder to ignore.

Everyone knew there were two ways to cast Kidō:

One—recite the full incantation.

Slow, thodical, but maximum power.

Two—cast without incantation.

Instant activation, but power reduced to roughly one-third.

That was precisely why Rangiku was so shaken.

Because—

Sa Kidō.

Sa number.

Different casting thod.

Yet Bai Chen's Shakkahō was at least ten tis stronger than hers.

Which ant—

If Bai Chen did chant the incantation and went all out…

Wouldn't his Kidō be dozens of tis stronger than hers?

"Ggh…"

The thought alone made Rangiku inhale sharply.

Goosebumps erupted across her skin.

Such an outrageous Kidō talent—

Even witnessing it with her own eyes, she still felt it was unreal.

Even her childhood friend Ichimaru Gin hadn't been this exaggerated back when he trained in Kidō.

"This is insane…"

"I originally planned to spend about a month teaching Bai Chen all Kidō below Number Ninety."

"But now… a month clearly won't be necessary."

Shiba Isshin's instincts were screaming at him.

It wasn't just Shakkahō.

No matter what Kidō Rangiku demonstrated next, Bai Chen would almost certainly master it imdiately.

A month?

Please.

At this rate, one week would be more than enough.

Bai Chen's Kidō proficiency would reach absolute perfection.

Utterly monstrous.

anwhile—

As the person at the center of it all, Bai Chen remained calm.

He'd clearly expected this outco.

"Because of the sign-in rewards, my mastery of the Shinigami four arts is already at the 'proficient' level…"

"But proficiency isn't the sa as absolute control."

"This is the perfect opportunity to push Kidō all the way to the limit."

Bai Chen's goal was clear.

With two Captain-class Shinigami acting as sparring partners—

There was no reason to hold back.

Only by fully unleashing his Kidō could any flaws or gaps be exposed.

And with Isshin and Rangiku present, even the smallest issue could be corrected imdiately.

What Bai Chen hadn't expected—

Was that even while heavily suppressing his reiatsu, his Shakkahō would still leave both Captains speechless.

He could only sigh inwardly.

For soone with a vast reiatsu pool backed by an ultimate physique—

This really was basic output.

As Bai Chen withdrew his reiatsu and extinguished the fireball,

The suffocating heat that had blanketed the area finally dissipated.

"Bai Chen."

"To properly test the upper limits of your Kidō talent…"

"I'll now cast Kidō continuously, in nurical order, without pauses."

"Whether you can keep up will depend entirely on your perception and reaction speed."

Rangiku spoke after finally regaining her composure.

She no longer intended to slow down or demonstrate each technique step by step.

Instead—

She would unleash Kidō in rapid succession.

Only then could she determine whether what had just happened was coincidence—or true genius.

Before Bai Chen could respond—

Isshin frowned deeply.

"Hey—Rangiku! Don't get reckless!"

"Don't forget why we're here."

"We're supposed to teach Bai Chen, not deliberately torture him."

Isshin was speechless.

That thod would be brutal for a newcor.

Aside from showing off, it wouldn't normally produce good results at all.

However—

Before Isshin's words fully landed, Bai Chen calmly spoke:

"Captain Shiba is right."

"Watching Vice-Vice-Captain Matsumoto demonstrate alone, without interaction, would indeed limit the results."

Then—

Looking straight at the two of them, Bai Chen proposed sothing even more extre.

"So how about this instead?"

"Let's skip demonstrations altogether."

"Go straight to live combat."

"I'd like to have a fair Kidō spar—"

"Against both Captains at once."

The mont those words left his mouth—

Isshin and Rangiku both froze.

Bai Chen wasn't just accelerating the lesson.

He was skipping straight to the end—

And challenging two Captain-level Shinigami simultaneously.
