I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

With Erin's spiritual pressure, coupled with the complete chanting of the Kido incantation, Erin brought the "Scratching Toe Chasing Sparrow" ability to search for spiritual pressure to its limit, and the area he explored was about seven or eight times the size of Seireitei.

"No."

Erin wasn't worried when his first exploration failed to find the "Hollow Forest" where the Hollows gathered underground.

Anyway, Hueco Mundo is only so big, and it will take at most ten days to explore the entire Hueco Mundo.

After getting up, Erin went at full speed, randomly chose a direction, and quickly moved forward.

After sensing the diameter of the distance between himself and the area he had previously explored, Erin continued to use the Slap-Toe Chase to capture the spiritual pressure of the Hollows.

It is worth mentioning that during the exploration of the Forest of Menreiki, Erin actually discovered the Shinigami's main base in Hueco Mundo, which is also the location of the main force of the "Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force".

Furthermore, Erin sensed a somewhat familiar spiritual pressure within it.

After tilting his head and thinking for a moment, Erin realized where this sense of familiarity came from.

Kisaragi Taiu's Zanpakuto!

In other words, Kisaragi Taiu's son, the one who has now changed his name to "Tenbei Shusuke," has already joined the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force?

I remember the shock I felt when I first saw a captain-level officer, and how weak and powerless I felt back then...

If it weren't for the fact that Ruyue Taiwu didn't intend to kill them, I probably would have died at his hands long ago.

Since Kisaragi Taiwu let me go once, and I just happened to run into Amagai Shusuke, I might as well repay this favor!

With that in mind, Erin projected a black cloak invented by Kisuke Urahara, completely concealing his spiritual pressure, and quietly walked towards the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force's base.

Quietly infiltrating the camp, and finding Tenbei Shusuke diligently training, Erin struck the young Tenbei Shusuke on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious. He then wrapped the young Tenbei Shusuke in a black cloak and quickly fled the expeditionary force's camp.

……

"Hmm, what's wrong with me?"

Upon waking from her coma, Tenbei Shusuke felt a soreness in her neck, as if she had been hit hard.

"Huh? No, this isn't the expeditionary force's base."

As soon as she reached up and touched the back of her neck, Tenbei Xiuzhu realized that the place she was in was not the place where she was supposed to cultivate.

Thinking of the pain in the back of her neck, Tenbei Xiuzhu instantly had a guess.

"Have I been kidnapped?"

"Who is it? Has my identity been exposed?"

……

Your support is my greatest encouragement!

Chapter 101 Three Days

(4,000-word chapter)

Seemingly realizing something, Tenbei Shusuke slowly glanced around with the corner of his eye, cold sweat pouring down his face.

Even after all these years, Tenbei Shusuke still remembers the words her father had left unsaid before he died.

The one who killed my father was the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni!

Unexpectedly, even after hiding his identity and joining the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force, he still couldn't escape this calamity.

"Are you awake, kid?"

The sound from behind startled Tenbei Shusuke.

In an instant, Tenbei Shusuke flipped forward, turning from having his back to Erin to facing Erin directly.

Furthermore, during the rollover, Amagai Shusuke had already drawn his Zanpakuto.

"Who are you? What do you want with me here?"

Looking at the figure in front of him who had completely concealed his body in a black cloak, Tenbei Shusuke calmly asked.

"Although his strength is a bit weak, his talent is quite good."

Seeing Tenbei Shusuke's performance, Erin expressed her praise.

After all, even without any formal instruction, Amagai Shusuke completed his Bankai training within two hundred years and became the commander of the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force. This talent is rare even in the Soul Society.

Of course, what made Erin even happier was that Tenbei Shusuke had actually completed the gestation of his Zanpakuto.

In this way, he not only repaid the favor owed to Kisaragi Taiu, but also gained a captain-level Zanpakuto.

"However, kid, do you know that when you point your sword at an enemy, are you prepared to kill them or be killed by them?"

No sooner had Erin finished speaking than his figure appeared in front of Amagai Shusuke, raising his knee.

"Oh!"

"vomit……"

Amagai Shusuke's body was bent into an arc shape by Erin's knee strike. Tears, snot, and saliva streamed down his face as he flew three or four meters into the air before landing on the ground, where he rolled several times.

"vomit……"

After getting up from her knees, Tenbei Xiuzhu gagged a few times.

A few minutes later, feeling somewhat better, Tenbei Shusuke slowly got up, his eyes blazing with anger, holding his sword with both hands towards Erin.

"Not bad. Even after I kicked you, you still dared to point your blade at me despite the huge difference in strength. You have some backbone."

"I just wonder how long you can maintain this level of resolve?"

Faced with Erin's provocation and sarcasm, Tenbei Shusuke let out a loud shout and charged towards Erin.

Erin's body tilted slightly, and Tenbei Shusuke's Zanpakuto slashed down right in front of his nose. The gust of wind caused Erin's black hood to flutter wildly, revealing half of Erin's face.

He slightly raised his right foot, and as Amagai Shusuke's Zanpakuto slashed down, he stepped on Amagai Shusuke's Zanpakuto, stomping it directly into the Hueco Mundo desert.

"Is this your swordsmanship? It has no technique whatsoever, you can't even hold a sword properly, and you can only use about thirty percent of your strength at most..."

"Furthermore, you can't even control the force when you attack, and the attack trajectory is very straightforward. Can you call something like this slashing technique?"

During the time that Amagai Shusuke was unconscious, Erin had already created Amagai Shusuke's Zanpakuto, "Raika".

After absorbing Amagai Shusuke's battle memories through "Thunderfire," Erin discovered that Amagai Shusuke's foundation was extremely poor.

Perhaps because Kisaragi Taimo died young, Amagai Shusuke, who changed his name and fled, did not receive any proper education.

His swordsmanship was honed over two hundred years of fighting in Hueco Mundo.

With such a cutting technique, fighting against a void would naturally be no problem.

However, if you're on the wrong path, your potential will naturally be limited.

More than two hundred years later, when Tenbei Shusuke fought against Kurosaki Ichigo, who wielded a kitchen knife, he was only able to barely gain the upper hand after using his Shikai.

Even so, this was before Kurosaki Ichigo used "Getsuga Tenshou".

Erin wanted to repay Kisaragi Taiu's kindness in sparing his life by teaching Amagai Shusuke. If he couldn't train Amagai Shusuke to be stronger than the Amagai Shusuke in Erin's memory, what kind of repayment would that be?

Moreover, because he was part of the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force, Amagai Shusuke never came into contact with Kido or trained in it.

At the very least, Erin didn't get a single memory about Kido from the Zanpakuto "Raika".

"hateful!"

Tenbei Xiuzhu gritted his teeth, speechless in the face of the black-robed man's mockery.

Lies never hurt people; the truth is the most powerful weapon.

"Sever it—Thunder and Fire!"

With Tenbei Shusuke's roar, his spiritual pressure suddenly increased more than threefold.

The Zanpakuto in his hand also changed.

The front of the Zanpakuto transformed into a crescent-shaped hook, from which raging flames erupted. Under Amagai Shusuke's control, these flames spread throughout the entire blade of the Zanpakuto.

"Boom boom..."

The back of the Zanpakuto's hilt also began to spew out bursts of flame-like impact.

Each time the flames erupt, Tenbei Shusuke is able to use the power of the burst to pull his Zanpakuto from under Erin's feet.

"Thunderfire Bullet!"

"boom!"

With Tenbei Shusuke's roar, the fireball in the crescent hook in front of the lightning suddenly exploded, engulfing both Erin and Tenbei Shusuke.

"Bam—"

“Bang bang bang bang—”

In the fiery explosion tens of meters high, a figure was thrown by the shockwave, bouncing up and down on the desert like a stone on water, still covered in wisps of flame. After rolling around in the desert several times, the flames slowly died down.

"Cough cough, cough cough..."

At this moment, Tenbei Shusuke was covered in burns. Being hit at close range by the explosion of the Thunder Flame Bullet also caused him serious internal injuries.

However, at this moment, there was also a hint of expectation in his gaze as he looked towards the center of the explosion.

That guy must have been in a bad mood, taking a hit from me at such close range.

However, the next moment, Tenbei Shusuke's gaze suddenly narrowed.

When the smoke and dust from the explosion cleared, there was nothing there except for a charred crater more than three meters in size.

Tenbei Shusuke wasn't so arrogant as to think that the lightning-flame bullet, which could only severely injure himself, could obliterate that guy to nothing.

Therefore, it is more likely that the man in black robes had already escaped the epicenter of the explosion before being affected by the blast wave.

"Not bad determination."

"However, without even understanding the difference in strength between the two sides, you resorted to such a mutually destructive tactic. Should I praise your courage or belittle you and call you foolish?"

As expected, just as Tenbei Xiuzhu had predicted, the voice of the man in black robes rang out beside him.

Turning my head to the right, I saw that the man in the black robe was completely free of any dust or smoke.

"Heh, if I'm not mistaken, that last attack was the closest I ever came to hitting you, wasn't it?"
