Death's Slash

Chapter 33
After staying at Yijiang Village's house for two days, everyone separated. Xue Xin and Matsumoto Ranju returned home, ending the short and happy relaxing moment.

Xue Xin continued to practice kendo, and in the process of practicing kendo, he also paid attention to the improvement of muscle strength.

Matsumoto Ranju also started working, and followed Matsumoto Ranju to set off fireworks.

After a month like this, the vacation was over. In October, the Maoyang Academy of Spiritual Art started, and Xue Xin returned to school.

As soon as he arrived at the school, Xuexin was found by Xiaochun Xiantaro, and he said anxiously: "Follow me to see my father."

"To see your father? What's the matter?"

Xue Xin asked curiously.

"Don't you want to learn kendo? I already told my father that he wants to meet you."

Tsubaki Sentaro rubbed his fingers under his nose and said with a smile.

"really?"

Xue Xin stood up immediately, with a look of joy on his face, which was something he had been looking forward to.

But then asked suspiciously: "But I haven't won you yet."

"You didn't beat me, but you only found out after you killed me during the summer vacation. You and I are just exercising swordsmanship. Your speed and strength far exceed mine."

Xiaochun Xiantaro said helplessly: "You are more suitable for father's kendo than I am, so I recommend you to him."

"So that's the case, thank you."

Xue Xin immediately thanked him.

"Let's go quickly, my father is in the seventh team."

Xiaochun Xiantaro pulled Xuexin out of the dormitory, and went directly to the second district where the Seventh Division team was located.

The second area is the aristocratic area, and there are two teams here, namely, the seventh team's inner court guard team and the sixth team's exclusive noble team.

The exclusive noble team has always been controlled by the Kuchiki family, and has been passed down from generation to generation.

The inner court guards are the teams that protect the inner court, that is, the second district and the first district. They do not take the initiative to fight externally, but mainly protect the nobles, decision-making institutions, and important facilities of the Lingling court.

The current captain of the Seventh Division is Aikawa Luowu, and the vice-captain is Seireitei's famous swordsman, Kotsubaki Baemon.

An hour later, the two arrived at the second area. The second area is higher than the third area. It has a natural barrier and a huge wall that is about seven or eight meters high, covering part of it.

The two of them were going to the Seventh Division, and they couldn't enter directly from the west, because there was an aristocratic area inside, and ordinary Shinigami couldn't easily enter.

Of course, this rule is not mandatory, and it is only a deterrent if it is found out.

In Death God, there are a few daring guys who not only dared to enter the aristocratic area without authorization, but also dared to break into the homes of the nobles, transform other people's homes, and gather there.

That's right, I'm talking about the Women's Shinigami Association with Kusaka Yachiryu as the president.

And the noble family that has been transformed into many secret passages and secret rooms is naturally the Kuchiki family.

Xuexin and Xiaochun Xiantaro didn't want to make extra troubles, so they directly detoured to the south and entered from this side. This is the lowest side of the terrain, and it is also the location of the Seventh Division.

"You two, what are you doing here?"

Seeing the two, a god of death scolded.

"I'm here to find my father, Tsubaki Babaemon." Tsubaki Sentaro said hastily.

"Are you the vice-captain's son?"

Death's expression changed immediately, and he said to him, "I'll go and report first."

Reaper didn't take the two of them in directly, but went in to report. It seems that the rules here are stricter than those of the Thirteenth Division.

After a while, the god of death came out and said to them: "Come with me, the vice-captain is waiting for you at the Martial Arts Field."

Xuexin and Xiaochun Xiantaro joined the seventh team with Death God. Compared with the thirteenth team, the seventh team is more serious and old-fashioned. No one stays in the yard, and no one chats and hangs out.

Going all the way and entering the Martial Arts Hall, there is only one middle-aged man in the huge room. He has neat short hair, but a short braid behind his head. He wears a pair of dark red sunglasses and a knife on his face. The scar runs through the eye on the left side of the cheek.

He had a high nose, a rough face, and a tuft of beard on his chin.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, with his arms folded, and a long knife was held in his arms.

"Father."

Seeing him, Tsubaki Sentaro's movements became restrained, his whole body stopped exuding a lazy posture, and he greeted him politely.

"I have seen seniors."

Xue Xin walked over and greeted seriously.

"You are Xuexin?"

Tsubaki Baemon looked at Yukinobu and asked.

"The junior is Xuexin."

Xue Xin lowered his head and said.

Tsubaki Baemon nodded, and said, "Sendaro said that you are amazingly talented, you work hard, you are also very interested in kendo, and you think you will be my good disciple."

Xue Xin said seriously: "I also think I will be an excellent disciple."

"Your confidence is quite to my liking."

Tsubaki Baemon snorted and said, "But that's just you that Sendaro saw. I need to see the real you. Is it worth it for me to take you as a disciple?"

"I didn't bring a knife."

Xuexin scratched his hair.

"There are knives on the shelf behind you, choose one yourself."

Tsubaki Baemon raised his chin.

Xue Xin turned his head and looked, the wooden shelf behind was full of wooden knives, Xue Xin walked over, chose a wooden knife, and walked back.

"Senior, how should I show it?"

Yukinobu looked at Tsubaki Baemon and asked curiously.

"Attack me."

Tsubaki Baemon said softly.

"it is good."

Xue Xin took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and his momentum changed suddenly, from a shy boy just now to a decisive swordsman.

"Very good." Tsubaki Baemon couldn't help admiring.

But at the moment when the word "good" just fell, Xue Xin held the knife in one hand, and with a flash, he came to him and slashed with the knife.

This knife used up [-]% of Xue Xin's strength, and it was powerful.

boom.

Tsubaki Baemon raised an index finger and blocked it in front of the wooden sword.

The wooden knife hit his index finger, and his index finger shook slightly, but he took off all the strength.

"A lot of power."

Tsubaki Baemon nodded secretly.

And Xue Xin also showed a look of surprise, he had a huge power in one knife, and was actually blocked by a finger.

But if you think about it carefully, it is relatively common.

In the future, Asai Renji fought Tristan, and Tristan kicked out, and the wind from his foot directly smashed a huge stone pillar with a height of seven or eight meters next to him from a distance.

But such a huge force was blocked by A Sanjing Renji with one arm, very relaxed and comfortable.

Xue Xin was not discouraged, but retracted the wooden knife slightly, and cut horizontally.

Tsubaki Baemon raised a finger again to block the sword, but when the fingers collided, Tsubaki Baemon felt that Yukinobu's sword was not strong enough.

But at the next moment, Yukinobu rushed forward and stepped forward, stabbed straight with the knife, and stabbed Tsubaki Baemon's cheek with a knife.

Tsubaki Baemon snorted, and pressed down with his right index finger. With a push, the direction of the long sword changed, and it brushed Tsubaki Baemon's cheek by a hair's breadth.

Seeing this scene, Xue felt incomparable admiration.

Just now, Tsubaki Baemon blocked his own slash with one finger, and it could still be said that the opponent was powerful.

But this push and push showed that his grasp of power was extremely strong.

Xue Xin immediately retracted the saber, held it up high, and slashed again.

Humph.

Tsubaki Baemon raised his finger again to block the knife, and blocked the knife, but his finger sank slightly.

Seeing this scene, Xue Xin showed a smile on the corner of his mouth. With the help of the wooden knife bouncing, he raised the wooden knife high and slashed down again.

boom.

Yukinobu's sword was blocked, and Tsubaki Baemon's fingers trembled slightly.

Come again.

Xue Xin raised his knife again and chopped down.

This knife is faster and more powerful, not only that, Xue Xin changed from one hand to two hands.

The strength of both hands doubled the speed and greatly increased the strength.

These three swords were created by Xue Xin based on Nagasawa's fighting tactics. One sword is more powerful than the other, and the last sword should turn one hand into two hands.

With such a surprise, it should be possible to force Tsubaki Babaemon to dodge.

In just an instant, the distance between the two was crossed.

boom.

Xue Xin's knife instantly struck Xiao Chunren.

boom.

There was a loud muffled sound, and Xue Xin's knife slashed into the palm of his right hand, and the wooden knife shattered.

Seeing this scene, Xue Xin stepped back regretfully, and said, "Senior, I can't even make you dodge."

"If you want to do this, you are still far away."

Kotsubaki Baemon withdrew his hand and said coldly.

"Did I fail, senior?"

Yukinobu scratched his head, looked at Tsubaki Baemon, and felt that his performance was a bit poor.

"Failure is not enough. Your performance is still good, at least meeting the learning requirements of Shendao Jingxinliu."

Tsubaki Baemon said softly.

"Can I worship my predecessor as a teacher?"

Xue Xin showed joy on his face,

"Your strength is strong, and your moves are quite satisfactory. It seems that you have worked hard, and your temper is relatively calm. Seeing that you have a good relationship with Xiaochun Sentaro, it is no problem to accept you as a disciple." Xiaochun Renyouwei The door looked at Xue Xin and said.

"That's great, thank you Master."

Xue Xin fell into ecstasy, the strength shown by the other party was very strong, which made Xue Xin yearn for.

"Congratulations, Xuexin."

Tsubaki Baemon shouted happily that he himself did not meet the study requirements, but his good friend did.

There is no trace of jealousy in his heart, not only because they are very good friends.

It was also because of Xue Xin's hard work for this opportunity.

If he could make such an effort, he would definitely be able to inherit his father's school, but he didn't.

And Xuexin is worth it.

"Do not worry."

Tsubaki Baemon interrupted the two of them, and said coldly: "I have a request, and if you fulfill it, you are calling me master."

"Require?"

Yukinobu looked curiously at Tsubaki Baemon, and quickly said, "Please tell me, senior."

"It's very simple. After graduation, you join the Seventh Division."

Tsubaki Baemon said slowly.

"Join the Seventh Division?"

Xue Xin was slightly taken aback, but then felt that there was no problem.

I can't join the thirteenth squad and monitor my brother all the time.

So Xuexin's goal is to join a fan team and become the captain.

The Seventh Division now has a captain and a vice-captain, but nine years later, Aikawa Luowu will be framed and leave Seireitei.

Kotsubaki Basemon is getting old, without the information that he is the captain, at most he can only be an acting captain.

So I have a great chance to snatch the captain's position from the big dog.

Even if you can't do it, maybe you can switch to another team and get a cadre seat.

Xue Xin thinks that the Seventh Division team is very good, at least in the Masked Legion incident, only one captain was lost.

"I am willing."

Xue Xin nodded and made a decision.

"Well, when you join the Seventh Division, I will formally accept you as an apprentice." Tsubaki Baemon showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.

It took a long time to accept myself as an apprentice after joining the Seventh Division.

Xiaotsubaki Baemon said with a smile: "You can apply for a grade skip, enter the fourth grade directly, receive the Zanpakuto, graduate after the fourth grade, and the seventh team will send you an application."

The application of the Ban Team is very important. For example, the future Hisagi Shuhei was invited by the Ban Team in advance, which had not happened for several years at that time.

skip a grade.

It's not unacceptable, for me, the first to third grade courses don't have much to learn.

The fourth grade courses are more important, you can learn Ghost Dao and Shunpo, the latter has been mastered by yourself, but the former still needs to be learned by yourself, it does not need to be used as the main means of combat, but it can be used as an auxiliary.

Xue Xin made a decision in his heart and said, "Okay, after I graduate, I will join the seventh team."

"That's good, I'll wait for you here."

Tsubaki Baemon smiled even more, and said, "Go back, and come back here in a year and a half."

"The senior said goodbye."

After Xue Xin saluted, he left the room.

"Then I will go back to my father."

Xiaochun Xiantaro said quickly, and his father nodded. After he got the consent, he followed Xue Xin out of the seventh team and walked towards the third district.

But after the two walked out, Tsubaki Baemon raised his right hand, and a red mark on it was very eye-catching.

"This kid's strength is really great."

Tsubaki Baemon shook his hand, but there was a look of joy on his face. This is the apprentice worthy of inheriting his own school, with superior talent, hard work, and excellent conduct.

I can accept a good disciple.

. . . . . .

"That's great. As long as you graduate, you can become my father's apprentice. What will we be in the future? Senior brother? I can warn you, even if you are better than me, you are only my junior. I am a senior. "

Xiaochun Xiantaro said quickly, his words were a bit nagging.

But Xue Xin suddenly said, "Thank you."

"Ok?"

Xiaochun Xiantaro was slightly taken aback, and looked at Xuexin.

Yukinobu looked at him seriously and said, "Thank you for introducing me to your father. Without you, I wouldn't be able to become the apprentice of Bayouemon-senpai."

"What are you doing so solemnly?"

Xiaochun Xiantaro wiped his nose with his fingers and said, "Aren't we friends? It's like when you are in danger, let me back up and rush forward by yourself, just like when you are in danger in Yijiang Village, you don't care about your own safety Take the initiative. We are friends, isn't it right to do this for friends?"

"exactly."

Seeing Xiaochun Xiantaro's smile, Xuexin felt very warm in his heart, he nodded heavily, and said with a smile: "Yes, we are friends."

Since we are friends, why should we thank you so solemnly?

"However, you still want to buy me a meal."

Xiaochun Xiantaro hugged Xuexin's shoulders, and said with a smile, "I want to eat Mexican barbecue."

"Okay, I invite you and Yi Jiangcun to eat Mexican barbecue." Xue Xin directly agreed to his request.

The two walked out of the Seventh Division together and walked towards the distance.

Yukinobu is in a good mood, being accepted as an apprentice by Kotsubaki Baemon means that he has embarked on a new path.

The next thing I have to do is to graduate as soon as possible and enter the seventh team.

But at this moment, a figure appeared in front of Xue Xin, holding a short knife in his hand, staring at Xue Xin coldly.

"How will you be here?"

Xue Xin and the figure asked these words together.

It's just that the tone of the two people, one is surprised and the other is cold.
