Chapter 4: Expeditionary Force and Striving to Become Stronger!

In the blink of an eye, it has been nearly half a year since Xia Mu joined the team of the round-faced man.

After half a year of hard work, I don’t know whether it’s because Xia Mu has a special talent for languages, or because he is in such a dangerous world and has to study hard in order to understand the reality of the world more clearly.

His language skills have improved rapidly.

Especially after finally remembering what kind of world this was, Xia Mu developed an even stronger determination to become stronger.

This is the world of the soul.

In this world, there are death gods and voids.

The two are in conflict with each other, as the Hollow's instinct is to devour souls, while the Grim Reaper is dedicated to protecting the balance between souls. For these reasons, the two are naturally opposed.

It would be fine if Natsuki was in Soul Society, after all, Soul Society has the existence of the Gotei 13, especially within the Soul Society, it is said that no Hollows have ever invaded it, and the existence of the soul-blocking membrane eliminates the possibility of any black cavity being opened in the Soul Society.

But this is Hueco Mundo.

Xia Mu even knew the origins of the people around him.

They are all expeditionary forces.

According to the round-faced man, the captain of the expeditionary force, except for a few Shinigami who volunteered to go to Hueco Mundo to fight against the Hollows, most of the members of the expeditionary force are sinners. Because they committed certain crimes, they could not be imprisoned in the prison of Soul Society, so they went to Hueco Mundo to atone their sins. Only after fighting in Hueco Mundo and Hollows for a certain number of years can they return to Soul Society.

Xia Mu joined them, which was certainly safer than being alone in Hueco Mundo, but not much safer.

Although the expeditionary force is full of death gods.

But some Shinigami are strong and some are weak, and not every Shinigami possesses the combat power of a chief officer. For ordinary Shinigami, the Great Hollows are still extremely dangerous existences. The Hueco Mundo is the base camp of the Hollows. Even though this is the outskirts of the Hueco Mundo, no one can say whether a Great Hollow will suddenly appear while dealing with ordinary Hollows.

Just like Jiro who saved him.

It was only after Xia Mu learned the language and communicated with the round-faced man Watanabe Yuji that he learned the man's name and understood why he was recruited into the expeditionary force by Watanabe Yuji.

Because he awakened the silent Asado, he has become the god of death.

After awakening Asada and awakening the power of the God of Death, the soul of the God of Death is more delicious to the Hollow than ordinary souls. Even though they are in a group now, there will always be times when they need to fight alone. If at that time, the delicious scent emitted by their own souls attracts the covetousness of the big Hollow, then they will be in real danger.

Therefore, in order to avoid danger, the best way is to make yourself stronger.

As long as you are strong enough, most of the dangers will no longer be dangers.

Because he remembered some of the truth and falsehood of this world, even though he couldn't remember many details, Xia Mu still knew some of the abilities of this world. Naturally, he did not hesitate to ask Watanabe Yuji for advice.

Watanabe Yuji recruited Natsuki into the expeditionary force, firstly because he didn't want to see Natsuki being devoured by the Hollows alone in Hueco Mundo, and secondly because he valued his talent.

As soon as he held the shallow strike, he was able to awaken it, and then exploded with power to kill the hollow. Even if he did it unconsciously, it showed Xia Mu's potential. He can definitely become an elite death god.

For a genius like this, it would be best to send him back to Soul Society for training. However, if he cannot be sent back to Soul Society in a short period of time, he doesn't mind training him in advance.

Therefore, when Xia Mu took the initiative to ask Watanabe Yuji for advice, Watanabe Yuji was also generous in giving advice and guidance.

"In addition to the Zanpakutō, the Shinigami has gradually formed four extremely important skill systems during its long evolution."

"They are called Cut, Fist, Walk and Ghost respectively!" The round-faced man in the desert told Xia Mu.

"Zanpakuto is a slashing technique. It is a fighting technique of Zanpakuto. Although each Zanpakuto has unique abilities after being released, not all swords are suitable for fighting. This is not the case with slashing techniques. Even if a Zanpakuto is not released, relying on simple techniques and one's own spiritual pressure, one can still burst out with extremely powerful destructive power and defeat the enemy."

"Ken is a white fight. It is a close combat ability. It is a combat technique derived from the purpose of preventing the Shinigami from losing their combat ability after losing their Zanpakutō."

"The walking method is instant step, which is a high-speed movement technique that belongs only to the god of death."

"The ghost is the ghost way, which uses the spiritual power in the body of the god of death to perform a kind of curse. It is divided into the way of breaking, the way of binding, and the extremely special way of returning."

Although Natsuki already had some understanding of the power system of this world after recalling some information about this world, he still didn't mind listening to Watanabe Yuji's serious explanation.

After finishing the story, Watanabe Yuji did not tell Natsuki the origin of these abilities.

I don’t know if he doesn’t know either.

He directly taught Xia Mu these abilities.

Learning the art of killing and fighting is the simplest and most brutal, and it only requires actual combat.

By engaging in Zanpakutō confrontations and close combat with members of the expeditionary force, Natsuki was able to hone his combat skills.

Some members of the expeditionary force were also quite interested in teaching Xia Mu.

Some members did not see the body of Daxu at the beginning, but later they learned about what happened there from their companions, and naturally they became very interested in Xia Mu, this rough diamond.

So, for the next period of time, Xia Mu was madly tortured.

When he was alive, he was not an athlete. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was terminally ill. Naturally, he was not good at this kind of fighting.

However, Xia Mu did not feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, while feeling the pain, he could feel his own progress. For him, as long as there was progress, it meant that he was getting stronger.

While learning the other two skills.

Xia Mu discovered that his talent seemed to be not bad either.

He quickly mastered the art of instant movement.

When it comes to the use of his own spiritual power, he seems to have a unique talent and can use his spiritual power perfectly.

Flash step is a technique that gathers one's own spiritual power at the soles of the feet, collides with the spiritual particles in the surrounding environment, thereby forming a reaction force and pushing the body to move quickly.

After Watanabe Yuji taught him the technique, he was able to perform the instant move easily.

The same is true for the ghost path.

In addition to chanting, ghost arts is also a means of utilizing one's own spiritual power.

The function of the chant is to condense the surrounding spirit particles through unique spells, arrange the spirit particles in accordance with various rules, and then use its own spiritual power to release the arranged and combined spirit particles to form a powerful spell.

Since Xia Mu was able to use his spiritual power perfectly, he quickly got started.
