Routine self-discipline task completed!]
[Spiritual pressure increased, now at Second Grade Spiritual Pressure!]
[Mastery of Hadō increased, learned Hadō #88: Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō!]
[Fullbring power unlocked!]
Ishikawa Naoto meticulously cleaned up the battlefield, unaware of the unusual glow emanating from Tokikaze.
A faint greenish light gradually spread from Tokikaze's chest, enveloping his entire body.
The changes within himself caused Tokikaze to subconsciously ignore the vast amount of information about Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō and the slight increase in his spiritual pressure.
Activating his Fullbring power brought no discomfort, only a sense of lightness as if he had shed his clothes.
Or rather, it felt like everything inside and out had been cleansed.
This state didn't last long; after a few moments, everything returned to normal.
Feeling the changes within himself, Tokikaze had a peculiar expression, wanting to laugh but unable to.
Fullbringers are humans in the world of the living who possess fragments of the Soul King. They can draw souls from matter and use their spiritual power to enhance their abilities, significantly increasing their mobility.
They can also alter the shapes of their preferred items to gain unique abilities.
Due to the Soul King's fragments, they are attacked by Hollows before birth, with the Hollow's power remaining in their mothers and passing to them at birth.
Some Fullbringers possess both Fullbring and Hollow powers.
Kūgo Ginjō was a typical example.
However, he hadn't yet absorbed enough spiritual pressure from Fullbringers and Shinigami, making him far weaker than he would be in a hundred years.
Even if he pushed himself beyond his limits, he couldn't match Tokikaze.
Tokikaze's Fullbring power fundamentally differed from existing Fullbringers.
Kūgo Ginjō and others drew their power from the Soul King's fragments and their potential.
Tokikaze's Fullbring power embodied his soul's power, unrelated to the Soul King's fragments.
Because of this, his Fullbring power was relatively weak.
It wasn't in the same league compared to his Shinigami power, and he couldn't develop any special abilities.
Its only use was to enhance his original abilities.
For example, his Shunpo speed...
"Long time no see, Miss Yoruichi."
The sudden voice behind her made the black cat instinctively arch its body, fur standing on end like needles.
When?!
Shihōin Yoruichi was shocked, not expecting her stealth to be detected.
Tokikaze stood in the sunlight, smiling at the black cat in the shadows.
It was a coincidence. As a former Second Division captain, Shihōin Yoruichi's stealth techniques were among the top three in the Soul Society.
Even Captain-level Shinigami, including Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, might not sense her hidden spiritual pressure.
Unfortunately, she faced Tokikaze.
With enhanced spiritual particle affinity and activated Fullbring power, Tokikaze was unique.
As the battle ended, he sensed the hidden spiritual pressure nearby but couldn't pinpoint its location.
With his Fullbring power activated, his perception was enhanced, and he instantly located Yoruichi's hiding place.
"We last met at that time, right?"
Tokikaze released his spiritual pressure, and with Fullbring's power, the greenish wind covered a hundred-meter radius instantly.
To prevent any meddling from a certain merchant, Tokikaze decided to check personally.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
Yoruichi's gruff, deep voice, her body tense, said, "We last met at the Golden Seal Council."
"Back then, during the five noble families' interests distribution, the Kaname family forcibly took two-fifths."
The atmosphere between them was far from pleasant.
The conflict and disputes between the Kaname and Shihōin families played a significant role.
Even though Yoruichi had been stripped of her noble status and exiled to the human world, she still harboured ill feelings towards the Kaname family members.
Especially when facing the Kaname family's head.
"Is this why the Shihōin family instigated the rebellion?"
Tokikaze raised an eyebrow, recalling the war he participated in, where the rebels were almost all death soldiers, and some even used enhanced Hollow bait for mutual destruction.
One Hollow researcher was nearly killed.
Yoruichi's cat eyes narrowed to pinpoints, "Do you have evidence?"
"No, but seeing your reaction, I can roughly confirm it."
Tokikaze pondered, "I didn't expect the seemingly weak Yūshirō to have such guts."
"The Kaname family suffered significant losses in that war!"
Yoruichi's cat face drooped.
She realised the youngster had tricked her in front of her.
"Don't blame Yūshirō; you and I both know he's not capable."
As his sister, she knew her brother well.
She understood Yūshirō's abilities and knew he couldn't lead a rebellion alone.
"Doesn't matter, the truth will be judged by others."
Tokikaze raised his right hand, a crackling lightning bolt forming on his fingertip:
"If I recall correctly, Miss Yoruichi saved Kisuke Urahara and Tessai Tsukabishi?"
"You should know their whereabouts."
The black cat's fur bristled, spiritual pressure surging around her.
She had seen Tokikaze's combat prowess earlier and knew not to underestimate him.
"As the captain of the prison squad, I think I'm entitled to invite Urahara and the others for some tea."
"I've been wanting to meet them for a long time."
Tokikaze's smile widened, dangerous intent brewing around him, the lightning on his fingertip intensifying.
"Would you mind introducing me?"
Boom!
The lightning struck the black cat's position, creating a massive crater.
Dust rose, obscuring the view.
In the haze, a slender figure emerged...
