Chapter 590 Could the Spirit King really be like this?
The black shiha armor on the collarbone and shoulders had turned into charred fragments, and the exposed skin had a terrifying, carbonized black color, as if branded by lightning, and one could even smell a faint burnt odor.
The skin around the wound was curled up, and tiny arcs of reddish-gold electricity still flickered unwillingly, making soft "crackling" sounds.
However, the "culprit" who caused all of this was herself, while the one who suffered the consequences did not even flinch.
"You..." Yoruichi's voice was a little hoarse, and the praise and teasing she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.
She reached out, her fingertips hovering above Yu Zi's charred shoulder, hesitant to touch her.
"Are you an idiot?" Yoruichi finally managed to blurt out.
Yuko blinked, seemingly puzzled by Yoruichi's intense reaction.
She looked down at her injuries, then looked up at Yoruichi, puzzled, and said, "Aren't you the idiot?"
"Even the development of Shunhong still needs my help."
Yoruichi almost choked on her breath, her face flushed red as she roared at Yuuko, "I was just being silly, worrying about you for nothing!"
Yuko's confusion became even more apparent: "This level of injury will heal quickly."
As she spoke, she focused her attention slightly, and her charred skin tissue seemed to lose its adhesion, beginning to peel off like dried tree bark, turning into extremely fine black dust that dissipated into the air.
Beneath that, smooth, pristine skin grew back at a visible speed, and muscle and blood vessel fibers completely covered the original gruesome wound in just a few breaths.
"And when I was attacked by Hana-san before, Yoruichi didn't care about me at all, which is really strange."
Yoruichi was so angry that she trembled all over, her chest heaving violently.
Yuko looked completely bewildered: "What's wrong with you all of a sudden? It's not like I can't recover."
Upon hearing this, Yoruichi's trembling body paused for a moment before she suddenly came to her senses.
Yes, what is she angry about?
With Yuko's exaggerated regenerative abilities, this injury is nothing at all.
Yoruichi's mind went blank for a moment, then she said angrily, "You almost fooled me!"
"Can that be the same?!"
"That was a duel between you and that battle maniac Unohana, so it's only natural that you got injured."
"But this time it's because of me..."
Yuko burst out laughing out of nowhere: "Really, so Yoruichi is this kind of person?"
"How cute~"
Yu Shiro chuckled: "That's right, my sister is really not frank at all."
"..." Yoruichi's anger froze abruptly. She first glared at Yushiro with displeasure, and then angrily cursed at Yuuko, "...You idiot!"
As Yoruichi grew angry, the spiritual pressure that had finally stabilized within her showed signs of becoming agitated again, and crimson-gold lightning danced wildly around her.
Yu Zi's expression changed slightly, and she quickly reassured him, "Stop, stop, calm down first, I admit I was wrong."
It's only just gotten stable, don't let it get chaotic again before you can even properly feel it.
Yoruichi glared at her, then slowly closed her eyes, calmed herself down, and the surrounding spiritual pressure began to stabilize.
It was only then that Yoruichi noticed the change in the nature of her spiritual pressure; her originally golden spiritual pressure now contained a hint of red.
This is Yuuko's spirit, which stabilized her disordered spiritual pressure.
She carefully sensed her current state of mind and began to analyze her shortcomings.
Because of the unique nature of Yuuko's spiritual pressure, she can clearly distinguish the spiritual pressure that belongs to her, which is equivalent to having a reference point to better judge her own shortcomings.
This guy is really something; he can even perfectly control and integrate his spiritual pressure in his burst state.
In some ways, this move is even more outrageous than Yuuko learning Instant Coaxing directly, but because Yuuko had already shocked Yoruichi enough before, coupled with her stupidity just now, she was so angry that she had no intention of praising her at all.
“Besides, didn’t I already say that?” Yuko suddenly added, “Because the injuries will heal quickly, I don’t actually feel much pain.”
"..." Yoruichi suddenly opened her eyes, the surrounding spiritual pressure instantly becoming chaotic, and glared fiercely at Yuuko, "You still dare to talk?!"
Yuko innocently replied, "I... I was just telling the truth... I don't understand why you're angry."
"Ha, haha, sister, please continue." Seeing that Yoruichi's dark aura was getting thicker and thicker, Yushiro quickly stepped forward and pulled Yuko away.
"Sister Yuko! Stop talking!" Yushiro pulled Yuko aside and pleaded with his hands clasped together.
"..."
Yoruichi was talented and quickly mastered the rhythm of Shun'ou by borrowing Yuuko's spiritual pressure. She gradually used her own spiritual pressure to devour Yuuko's spiritual pressure and take its place.
Soon after, the golden spiritual pressure receded and enveloped Yoruichi's body.
This state...
Although the strength has not increased much compared to before, the stability has improved significantly, making it almost possible to remain stable in battle.
However, if the spiritual pressure is further increased, the stability may decrease again.
But the future is promising.
Well, all I can say is that the future looks promising.
This experience will give me more experience in handling stability issues in the future.
As for asking Yuko for help again?
Even if she crawls out of this dojo, she will not accept Yuko's kindness!
Yoruichi slowly exhaled a breath of pent-up frustration, looked up at Ikuko, and waved to her.
"?" Yuko tilted her head, puzzled.
Yoruichi sighed helplessly: "Give it a try?"
“Okay.” Yuko had no reason to refuse. She gestured for Yushiro to step back, while she herself stood in front of Yoruichi, making a shallow fighting stance.
Yoruichi looked at her impeccable stance, and an uncontrollable smile full of fighting spirit curled up on her lips.
Sure enough, this guy was totally to her liking.
“Then I won’t hold back, Ms. Yuuko.” Yoruichi deliberately emphasized the word “Ms.”
“Likewise.” Yu Zi replied calmly, and the crimson lightning spiritual pressure once again quietly appeared on her body. This time, it was more condensed than when she demonstrated it before, with almost no leakage. It only slightly stirred her pure white hair.
This is a more refined level of control than Yoruichi's.
What a monster!
Yoruichi cursed inwardly, her eyes darkening slightly.
In the next instant, Yoruichi's figure disappeared.
With a barely audible thud, golden lightning ripped through the silent dojo, appearing instantly beside Yuko like a swift bolt of thunder.
Yuko seemed to only realize what was happening at this moment, and leaned back.
"Too slow!" Yoruichi's low shout exploded in Yuuko's ears. Her right fist, wrapped in dazzling golden lightning, carried a force powerful enough to shatter rocks, and struck Yuuko's temple.
With this punch, she used her newly mastered stable control to concentrate all the burst of spiritual pressure on the tip of her fist, aiming for a single, decisive strike.
However, just as the fist was about to touch Yuko's temple, Yuko's head tilted slightly at an incredible angle, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow, with only a few strands of her long hair being torn off by the force of the punch.
At the same time, her body, like a boneless willow branch, sank along the trajectory of Yoruichi's fist, her right elbow covered with restrained crimson arcs of electricity, and struck Yoruichi's armpit joint with lightning speed.
The shift from offense to defense can happen in the blink of an eye.
Yoruichi's pupils contracted sharply, her fighting instincts triggering an instantaneous reaction. She twisted her waist violently, forcefully halting her forward momentum, and her left leg, like a whip, swept across Yuuko's lower body with a golden afterimage.
"boom--!"
A dull bang.
Yuuko's left knee also rose, precisely blocking Yoruichi's sweeping kick. The crimson and gold lightning spiritual pressures collided violently, creating a visible ring of air that caused the dojo's fragile wooden floor to creak and groan as it was blown outwards.
Yushiro stood there with great difficulty, like a piece of duckweed blown by the wind.
This setup, this momentum, it's just too exaggerated!
So you guys were just messing around all along!
The older sister has taken her mastery of the instant coaxing technique to a new level, with a significant improvement in both her movements and her demeanor.
Yuuko and Yoruichi's battle ended abruptly, each using Shunpo to create a distance of more than ten meters between them, facing each other at opposite ends of the dojo.
"Sure enough, a monster reaction, as always." Yoruichi shook her slightly numb right fist, her face showing no sign of discouragement, but rather her eyes shining with excitement.
"Likewise, you're a monster too." Yu Zi smiled slightly, as if the thrilling exchange just now was merely a routine rehearsal. "But as I see it, you're probably a cat-shaped monster, right?"
"I think you're lovesick." Yoruichi's face darkened, and she pushed off again with her feet.
This time, it's no longer a simple straight-line charge.
The two's Shunpo seemed to have truly achieved instantaneous teleportation. Yushiro's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, but he could only see two streaks of light, one gold and one red, frantically colliding and intersecting in the wide dojo.
Each collision was accompanied by a deafening roar and scattered shockwaves. Their figures moved with extreme speed, as if they appeared in every corner of the dojo at the same time.
Every movement of the two perfectly combined explosive power and speed; every step and collision was a small explosion that shattered everything around them.
"This is...this is too exaggerated..." Yushiro swallowed hard. His dynamic vision was so poor that he could not even catch the afterimages of the two people. He could only judge the intensity of the battle by the sonic booms that tore through the air and the wood chips that kept exploding.
In terms of pure combat skills, he has probably surpassed most captains.
At least Yushiro didn't think his older sister's hand-to-hand combat skills would lose to anyone.
At the heart of the battle, Yoruichi grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.
Her instantaneous aura had indeed stabilized, allowing her to unleash her full power and speed without restraint. Every punch and kick contained a force that would make even a captain-level Grim Reaper wary.
However, no matter how swift or tricky her attacks were, Yuko always managed to neutralize them in the simplest and most effective way.
"This guy... he's really good at cheating!" Yoruichi cursed inwardly.
Yuuko's all-seeing eye was on full display at this moment. In her vision, every muscle contraction and spiritual energy flow of Yoruichi foreshadowed the direction of her next attack.
This allowed her to anticipate Yoruichi's moves almost every time, dodging and catching every attack as if the two were rehearsing a stage play.
Yoruichi was a little annoyed.
It seems she's really completely under this guy's thumb.
This is really... so annoying!
As Yuko caught a heavy punch, the golden spiritual pressure surrounding Yoruichi's body suddenly dissipated.
"Huh?" Yu Ziwei was startled and subconsciously let go of Ye Yi's hand.
Yoruichi let out a long breath and suddenly asked, "How long have you been here?"
"Huh?" Yu Zi raised her eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "About two months."
"Congratulations, you've surpassed me in just two months." Yoruichi clapped her hands. "I can't even imagine what you could achieve if you had more time."
"To what extent can you do it?" Yu Zi pondered for a moment, "Like hanging up and beating Mr. Yamamoto?"
"...You really do get all high and mighty after just a couple of compliments." Yoruichi's lips twitched slightly, but deep down she already felt that Yuuko could pull it off.
What a joke.
Even if you let old man Yamamoto start from scratch, he still wouldn't be able to achieve this level in two months!
If she didn't know Yu Zi fairly well, she would have suspected that Yu Zi was actually the Spirit King...
Ye Yi's expression suddenly changed, but then returned to normal.
Yuko was stunned by this bizarre change of expression.
Actually, Yoruichi's sudden change of expression was because she was thinking.
Could this guy really be the Spirit King's...?
However, Yoruichi quickly rejected her own idea.
What kind of international joke is this? The Spirit King can't possibly be like this.
"Alright, that's enough for now." Yoruichi stared at Ikuko's perfectly calm breathing and felt a wave of helplessness wash over her.
She was exhausted, but this guy didn't react at all.
That's absolutely outrageous.
You're even scarier than a ghost!
At least, no one has ever experienced a battle of this magnitude and still be able to handle it with such ease.
Even the weak have something to say; they know how to get tired and feel pain, but this guy seems to feel nothing at all.
Thinking of this, Yoruichi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Speaking of which, don't you feel tired?"
Yuko replied matter-of-factly, "I'm not tired."
Ye looked on, feeling somewhat exhausted: "No, I'm asking you, don't you ever feel tired?"
Yu Zi chuckled, "Of course I can. What do you take me for? A robot?"
Yoruichi couldn't help but ask, "Then why have I never seen you tired?"
"Because muscle fatigue recovers quickly, my breathing becomes disordered during combat, but it recovers in no time once I stop."
"...So, what's the principle behind it?" Yoruichi asked weakly, she was almost driven crazy by Yuuko.
"The principle? Didn't I already explain it?" Yu Zi said, both amused and exasperated. "By replenishing physical strength through food, as long as physical strength can be maintained, the body's regeneration rate can keep up."
"But didn't you say that the energy absorbed from other foods is quite limited?"
"...That's why I eat a lot."
