Death: Captain Millennium

"This is the first time I've felt the captain's terrifying power so directly."

Tetsuzaemon himself is an all-around player who is proficient in the "Zanquan Zougui" technique. He can see that his and Rukia's slashing techniques are not on the same level.

Lin Yu didn't attack very often, which gave them the illusion that his opponent was strong in spiritual pressure and Zanpakuto.

Rukia's killing skills are so terrifying, let alone Lin Yu as her teacher.

"Renci, you can't do this!"

Renci's face was visibly red. Rukia's words sounded like a blatant mockery to him. You can say anything about a man, but you can't say he can't do anything! This is too hurtful to his self-esteem.

"Bankai! Baboon King Snake Tail Pill."

Renji didn't care about that anymore. He used his Bankai in anger and refused to believe that he couldn't defeat Rukia.

A giant skeleton snake appeared before Rukia, but she remained unfazed. It was just a Bankai, wasn't it? Just do it.

"Ling Wu! Xiu Baixue."

Using Shikai to defeat Bankai, Rukia, the disciple, and Lin Yu are really of the same lineage. It turns out that neither of them is a simple person.

"It looks like another pervert will appear in Soul Society in the near future."

Tetsuzaemon muttered to himself that Rukia and Renji's spiritual pressure had both soared to the third level, but one was a Shikai and the other was a Bankai, the difference was self-evident.

"Baboon Bone Cannon!"

Renci's eyes widened as he roared angrily. The spiritual pressure at the snake's head gathered quickly like lightning, flashing red light, as if to tear the surrounding air apart.

This move was his ultimate move. Once unleashed, it was incredibly powerful. He was ready to make Rukia suffer and experience true cruelty! However, he overlooked the biggest weakness of this move: it required a long period of accumulation to unleash its full power.

"First Dance·Yuebai!"

Rukia opened her red lips slightly and let out a sweet cry. The Sode no Shirayuki in her hand instantly turned into a stream of white light, rapidly passing across the ground at lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, a massive circular icy field expanded outward from her center. The field was filled with freezing air, icy to the bone, as if it could freeze all life into ice sculptures.

Lianci felt a piercing chill wash over him, like countless needles piercing his bones, causing him to shiver involuntarily. He was startled, immediately realizing the situation was dire. If he continued to forcefully unleash the baboon bone cannon, he would likely be injured by the terrifying cold.

Lianci made a prompt decision and decisively gave up the idea of ​​using the baboon bone cannon. He shook his body and retreated quickly.

Just as he stepped out of the range of the frozen field, a white halo rose in the field and an icicle shot up into the sky.

Lianci felt a surge of fear. If he had been a little slower, he would have been frozen into a human-shaped popsicle.

"No! I have to keep some distance from Rukia. I'm at a disadvantage in close combat."

Renci's brain was still quite useful, and he immediately re-planned a strategy.

He gripped the Snaketail Ball tightly in his hand, fully utilizing its significant advantage of long range, moving back and forth across the field like a ghost. Each movement was accompanied by a fierce attack, and from time to time, he launched a fatal blow from extremely tricky angles, attempting to inflict damage on Rukia. However, surprisingly, despite his efforts, he was unable to touch even a corner of Rukia's clothes.

"What kind of pace is that?"

Byakuya, watching from the sidelines, stared with eyes wide open, almost bulging from their sockets. He stared in disbelief at the scene before him—Rukia's steps were mysterious and exquisite, her movements nimble and graceful, like a dancing fairy. Facing Renji's flurry of slashes, she always managed to dodge with just the right amount of force, or deftly leap and maneuver, easily neutralizing all attacks.

That mysterious step is exactly one of the abilities attached to the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper, the Tiangang Seven Star Steps.

It had to be admitted that since acquiring the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper, Rukia's mind had become increasingly sharp and intelligent. It seemed as if she had gradually integrated the Seven Star Steps into actual combat, unleashing a power beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

What's even more amazing is that these seemingly unfathomable skills and movements are completely instinctive reactions for Rukia. She didn't even realize that she was performing such exquisite steps.

Byakuya's talent for instant movement is also extremely high. When he was young, he learned the secret step "Kusan" from Yoruichi, and later derived it into "Flash Flower". After that, he learned instant flash 1.0 from Lin Yu.

His eyes were fixed on Rukia's movements on the field, as if he wanted to memorize all her movement techniques. Rukia's body was agile, and her steps were strange and unpredictable. It was a unique technique he had never heard of before.

"Could it be... is this also what Lin Yu taught her?"

Byakuya pondered this, feeling deeply shocked. Although Lin Yu usually appeared unreliable, he was a master at teaching. Now, it seemed that the skills Rukia had learned from him had clearly exceeded their expectations.

Of the four great combat techniques of the Grim Reaper, 'Chopping, Punching, Walking', Rukia has reached perfection in both her fierce 'Chopping' technique and her erratic 'Walking' technique, even surpassing him.

Looking back at Rukia, before the Aizen incident, her strength could only be considered around the level of a third-class master. However, in such a short period of time, she could have made such a huge improvement, which was really incredible.

"Could it really be that mysterious power of the stars that gave Rukia such a drastic change?"

This thought flashed through Byakuya's mind, but he quickly rejected it. He knew that even with a powerful power, without hard training and the guidance of a famous teacher, it would be impossible to achieve such an amazing achievement.

"How about...I should also go and ask Lin Yu to be my teacher?"

A bold idea suddenly and without warning entered Byakuya's mind, and even he was shocked when the idea first appeared. After all, with his status and position as a Kuchiki Byakuya, it was simply unimaginable for him to lower his dignity and become a disciple to learn martial arts.

"Humph! How could I, Byakuya Kuchiki, do such a thing?"

In just a moment, Baiya shook his head and threw this ridiculous idea out of his mind. Although he was a little envious of Rukia for being able to receive Lin Yu's true teachings, his pride would not allow him to lower himself and imitate others.

On the field, Renci was getting more and more anxious, his mentality almost breaking. When did Rukia become so ridiculously strong? Was this still the Rukia he knew? Could she be someone else in disguise?
