If Ichigo doesn't make a breakthrough, doesn't release his instincts, and doesn't trust his instincts, then he will never be able to truly master his Zanpakutō.
This is what Zangetsu has always wanted to tell Ichigo.
Unfortunately, Zangetsu's throat is almost hoarse by the monk, and Ichigo still can't hear him.
Today, Shiroha plans to personally teach him how to "dance with wolves" and how to release the demons in his heart.
"..." Ichigo was speechless: "...Can I refuse?"
This didn't sound right.
And now he had just used up his Hollow and couldn't continue to Hollowify in a short time.
This was obviously a no-win situation.
The Visored next to him naturally knew the situation and discussed with confusion:
"Isn't this training?"
"Shiroha simply wanted to beat up Ichigo, right?"
"Uncertain!"
"It should be the same as what we thought before, wanting to push Ichigo to his limit."
"Hasn't this training already been done?"
"It's very dangerous!"
"Yes, both the out-of-control Ichigo and Shiroha are dangerous guys!"
Although they had many questions in their hearts, they wisely chose to wait and see.
After all, "If a friend dies, I will die." If they tried to stop them, they might be the ones to get beaten.
Last time, they got beaten, and it was not a pleasant experience.
This was a good opportunity to see the limit of Ichigo and the trump card of Shiroha.
Over there, Shiroha had already rushed in with Tenjin Shunpō.
Ordinary people don't get this treatment.
He can easily crush conventional opponents in an instant.
But Ichigo is different.
This kid's reaction speed is extremely fast, and his perception method is not only the spiritual perception of the Shinigami, but also the Reishi locking ability of the Quincy.
The Tenjin Shunpō containing the power of space is superior to Shunpō, sonido, hirenkyaku, and bringer light, and it also exceeds the induction limit of spiritual perception and nerve detection.
Therefore, there was not even a visual residue in everyone's eyes, and they could not use spiritual perception to capture the residual image of Reiatsu.
In their eyes, Shiroha in the distance just took a step, and the next moment Ichigo flew out.
It was not until Ichigo stood up with a shaken body that Shiroha's figure slowly became solid from the air.
This scene looked very scary and magical.
The Visored once again recalled the fear of being dominated by the Tenjin Shunpō.
They were shocked and exclaimed again and again:
"That's how we lost in the beginning!"
"This is definitely not something that Shunpō can achieve!"
"The loss is not unfair!"
"It's like art!"
"It disappeared in an instant, so cool!"
In fact, several Visored have already realized that Ichigo's reaction speed and Shunpō speed have not slowed down, and have even become much faster.
But even so, facing the sudden attack of Shiroha, he still has no ability to resist.
Comparing the two, they understand that their loss is not unfair.
Faced with such a fast speed, they must use all their trump cards at the first time, otherwise they will be killed instantly.
However, this seems to be just Shiroha's regular moves.
From beginning to end, let alone Shikai and Bankai, he didn't even pull out the Zanpakutō from his waist.
Shiroha only used Shunpō and hakuda throughout the whole process to gain an absolute advantage.
Facing this kind of monster-like evil, even if they use all their trump cards, they have no chance of winning.
Ichigo's natural strength is already terrifying, but compared with Shiroha, it is nothing.
They really don't know how this guy became so strong.
At this moment, in Ichigo's inner world, White frowned and clenched his fists.
If he was dealing with an ordinary enemy, he would have been eager to show up.
Even if his power was suppressed, even if he was fear by Ichigo, as long as he took action, he could easily deal with the enemy.
He only needed to swing his sword.
But the enemy in front of him was too scary.
He couldn't defeat such an enemy by himself.
Ichigo must have a stronger awareness.
The always calm "Uncle Zangetsu" was also surprised:
"Didn't he dodge it? This is beyond my expectation! Whether it is Shunpō or other high-speed movement techniques, it is impossible to be so fast. Is the gap so big?"
Just now, he has actually used part of the power of the Quincy.
Ichigo's reaction speed and perception ability should have been greatly improved.
Under this premise, he should not be completely powerless to fight back.
Unless the opponent completely sees through their strength and their actions.
But is this possible?
Not only is Shiroha's speed problematic, the opponent's Reiatsu is also very mysterious.
At this moment, Ichigo felt it most directly.
In his impression, his defense and speed have always been excellent.
But he has never encountered such an attack that he cannot avoid or defend against.
Moreover, the opponent's fist seemed to hurt a lot.
Just a hit, his body was shaky, and his consciousness seemed to be sinking into the endless sea.
"You can still stand, very good!" After one move, Shiroha did not continue to attack.
He wanted to give Ichigo time to adapt.
Although Ichigo's potential and talent were very strong, the gap between them was too big.
Therefore, he had to give him time to adapt.
He's afraid that in the entire Soul Society, there is no perfect sparring partner and training dummy like Ichigo.
Therefore, he did not want to end too quickly.
Taking advantage of this gap, Ichigo took a few quick breaths and recovered his physical strength and Reiatsu.
However, soon, the inexplicable attack came again.
This time, it was better than the last time.
At least, at the moment of being attacked, he could vaguely perceive the attack coming.
But the opponent's attack was too fast and too urgent. Even if he sensed it, he couldn't react, let alone dodge.
After being punched again, he felt that his soul was about to be shattered.
Although there was not much damage to his body, the mental oppression was too strong.
At this moment, Ichigo truly felt the arrival of death. In the critical moment, he instinctively activated the Hollow state again.
For a moment, a strong Reiatsu rushed out, shaking the surrounding air.
With the help of the surging Reiatsu, he clenched Zangetsu and barely stood still.
Shinji and others beside him all looked focused and sighed:
"It's so easy to Hollowify..."
"His Reiatsu has become stronger!"
"Even when you are in an absolutely unfavorable situation, you can still improve your strength!"
"This kid really has endless potential!"
"That's it, you blondy, cheer up and don't embarrass me!"
Just as the Visored were sighing or encouraging, Ichigo burst out with Reiatsu and his speed increased sharply.
After a Shunpō, he came behind Shiroha and was about to release Getsuga Tenshō from a distance.
He was a little scared of being beaten.
He really had no confidence in close combat, even if he activated Bankai and Hollowification.
However, Ichigo just raised his hand. Shiroha, who had his back to him, had inexplicably come in front of him, and then slapped him with a big palm.
Then, Ichigo, who had greatly increased his strength after Hollowifying again, did a 360-degree aerial turn, and his mask was almost broken.
Seeing this scene, the faces of several Visored changed again, and they directly sentenced him to death: "You can't beat him, there's no hope!"
Meanwhile, Shiroha was in high spirits.
He only used the Tenjin Shunpō and the Reiatsu of the unity of man and sword to suppress the Hollowified Ichigo without any chance of fighting back.
However, Ichigo was different from an ordinary captain.
An opponent of that level, once suppressed by him, would have no chance of turning the tables.
Ichigo was like a bouncy ball made of a special material, soft but with infinite rebound.
In short, he was very durable and felt very good to hit.
Shiroha was very measured in his attacks, only destroying the opponent's defense and will, but not causing substantial damage.
This required absolute skills, strength, and incredible abilities.
And he just had all of these.
At that time, Ichigo's mind had sunk into a deeper space of consciousness.
Despair and powerlessness caused flaws to appear in his mind.
The power of the Hollow gradually gained the upper hand and began to occupy his body to a greater extent.
His hair began to slowly grow longer, and his body's recovery and defense capabilities also became stronger.
The three red lines on the right half of his mask became brighter.
Moreover, these three red lines not only became darker in color, but the coverage area also quietly expanded.
The experienced Visored immediately noticed these abnormalities.
They knew that this was a sign that the power of the Hollow had the upper hand.
If they continued to fight like this, it's possible that Ichigo will lose control, or even become completely Hollowified.
But since Shiroha did not call for a stop, they had no way to stop him.
Moreover, they did not think that he came here just to deliberately turn Ichigo into a Hollow.
He must be fully confident that he dared to force Ichigo like this.
Shiroha certainly noticed the changes in Ichigo.
He secretly increased the strength of his attack.
As expected, the opponent's "transformation" was achieved.
Although it was only a partial transformation, the improvement in strength was still significant.
As far as he knew, Ichigo's Hollow had several forms.
Including the irrational "half-mask substitute" form, the semi-out-of-control state, the normal Hollow form, the long-haired bull head form, and the double red-lined Hollowification.
After the Hollowification, the Reiatsu and physical strength will be greatly improved, and it will be possible to display the abilities of the Hollows, such as sonido and Cero.
However, for Shiroha, these abilities are neither new nor difficult.
Ichigo is strong in that he can perfectly fuse multiple powers together.
For example, he can release slashes in the form of Cero, he can use the power of the Shinigami to materialize the power of the Quincy, and so on.
These fusion methods are very valuable for reference.
Shiroha does not mind learning from it. After fusing the Hōgyoku, he can also better develop the power of the Transcendent and the Soul King candidate.
Over there, Ichigo felt that the Hollow Mask on his face suddenly became heavier.
The red lines on the top had spread, making his entire right eyeball look extremely hideous and terrifying. It was releasing a murderous intent and violence that was completely different from the left eye.
At the same time, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears:
"Get out of the way, let me do it! You alone can't be his opponent!"
Hearing the unruly voice in his ear, Ichigo's eyes flashed with that strange white face.
That face looked very similar to him, but it was definitely not him.
His heart sank, and he immediately covered his right eye with his hand.
The Visored who saw this scene from a distance also felt their hearts sink.
They knew that Ichigo had one foot on the abyss and was only one step away from complete Hollowification.
However, in the end, they chose to believe in Shiroha.
Orihime even put her hands in a praying gesture, with worry written all over her face:
"It's that feeling again! Such a heavy and terrifying Reiatsu! Kurosaki-kun, hold on!"
Looking at Ichigo who was still struggling, Shiroha released a little bit of his aura:
"I know you have a lot of worries and struggles. But now I am standing in front of you. If you continue to hesitate, you will surely die. Being cautious does not mean stopping, and being careful does not mean giving up. Stopping and fearing the future will only lead to destruction. So Ichigo, welcome the glorious evolution!"
Shiroha's simple words surged in all directions like a raging wolf.
The Reiatsu contained in it is like a sword, indestructible, and obliterates everything.
Shinji reacted immediately and activated his Hollow mask to release Reiatsu to shield Orihime.
The other Visored also responded in the same way, bursting out Reiatsu and taking defensive measures.
Obviously, they were far away from the battlefield, and there were even several barriers in between.
And the words transmitted were just simple words, but they still suffered a strong impact.
If it weren't for the fact that their strength increased greatly after the Hollowification, they would even be injured.
Shiroha's words were more terrible than the slash of a Shinigami captain, and could even hurt the soul.
The knowledgeable people looked at each other in shock.
It is impossible for a simple Reiatsu burst to have such power.
It contains abilities and skills that they cannot understand.
Rōjūrō even saw the shadow of his own Bankai in it.
They were affected by the aftermath, not to mention Ichigo who was the first to bear the brunt.
At this time, Ichigo only felt like he was facing thousands of troops, and boundless murderous intent enveloped him.
His eyes were bloodshot, as if he was in a sea of blood and corpses, an endless hell.
Shiroha's tall and handsome figure became even more unattainable, like an ancient god or demon, awe-inspiring and inviolable.
All of a sudden, a nerve broke in Ichigo's brain.
At this time, four seconds had passed, and the Hollow Mask that should have dissipated became more solid.
The red lines on it emitted a strange red light, and even invaded the left half of the mask.
At the same time, his eyes were full of murderous intent and violence, so much so that they were stained with a layer of blood.
At this time, Ichigo's consciousness had been replaced by Hollow White.
The violent instinct to destroy the enemy and destroy everything dominated his consciousness.
The next moment, his figure disappeared.
He held the sword in his right hand, and his left hand turned into a sharp claw and swung it fiercely at Shiroha's vitals. The completely Hollowified Ichigo was totally different from before, highlighting that he was ruthless and didn't talk much.
"Sonido?" Shiroha noticed that the opponent's Reishi fluctuations were very slight when he moved, and his explosive power was very strong.
It was extremely concealed and moved very quickly over short distances. This was the characteristic of sonido.
In fact, under the perception of Observation Haki, he could clearly see the difference between the four movement techniques.
But to be honest, he was too lazy to distinguish them carefully. Anyway, no matter which technique it was, it was impossible to surpass his Tenjin Shunpō.
Only the light form movement of Hōgyoku Aizen and the Soul King form of Yhwach could put him under some pressure in terms of speed.
So in the face of the enemy's surprise attack, Shiroha remained motionless and said calmly: "You finally got it, but is it only to this extent?"
The irritable White roared wildly and increased his strength again.
