Godslayer: Aizen Template, I will stand in the heavens!

"boom--!"

The two swords clashed with a loud bang, and the water on the ground rippled in circles. Li Lian and Hong Ying were both thrown back three steps by the huge recoil before they could regain their footing.

At this moment, Hongying felt that the other party was simply using brute force, which had made her hands numb, but she refused to speak and just stared at him.

Li Lian was completely baffled. He was practicing his sword skills here, so why was Sister Hongying trying to cut him?

Even if you hate me, you can't damage the fire protection system! It would be such a waste to soak such nice solid wood flooring in water!

"Both of you! Stop it right now!"

The visitor was Wu Xiangnan, the deputy captain of Squad 136. Captain Chen Muyi had gone out to search for the Ghost Face King's whereabouts. Before leaving, he told Wu Xiangnan about Li Lian becoming a temporary team member and instructed Wu Xiangnan to take good care of Li Lian.

No sooner had Chen Muyi left than Wu Xiangnan heard the fire alarm go off at the training ground!

I rushed to the training ground and saw two people sparring with the help of fire-fighting water. The entire training ground was flooded!

"Li Lian! Are you a husky? You're already tearing the house apart on your very first day as a temporary team member?!"

……

Wu Xiangnan sat silently in the operations room, his face grim, watching the surveillance footage from the training ground. Before him, Hong Ying and Li Lian stood ramrod straight, like two telephone poles. The difference was that Li Lian was clean, while Hong Ying was soaked to the bone, looking like a drowned rat.

The two of them took turns recounting the whole incident in detail. Li Lian swore to the lamp that he was just practicing his sword, and that Hong Ying had attacked him without any explanation. Hong Ying, however, said that Li Lian had gone mad from practicing his sword and almost set the entire training ground on fire, and wouldn't stop no matter how much they called him.

After listening for a while, Wu Xiangnan decided to check the surveillance footage of the training ground. Someone had to be held responsible for this!

After reviewing the surveillance footage, Wu Xiangnan concluded that Li Lian was fully responsible for the incident, but decided not to punish anyone.

It's a pity, though. Li Lian was clearly in a state of enlightenment just now, which would have allowed his swordsmanship to improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. The few strikes he exchanged with Hong Ying were of a very high standard, and you could see that there was a sense of naturalness in them. If the 136th Squad could really produce another swordsmanship master, he wouldn't feel bad about burning down the entire training ground.

"Hongying, go and tidy yourself up and change your clothes. Don't catch a cold. You have a mission tonight."

"Yes!"

"Li Lian, stay here. I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter, Vice Captain?"

"Your leave of absence procedures have been completed, and your accommodation has been arranged in the apartment building across the street. Here are the keys and address."

After Wu Xiangnan finished speaking, she reached into her pocket and took out a key and a small piece of paper, which she handed to Li Lian. After seeing Li Lian put the things away, she continued, "I didn't arrange any daily necessities for you. You have them in your old rented apartment. Go and cancel your old rental first, and then come back after you've settled into the new place."

Li Lian nodded. "Okay, I'll go now."

“Remember this! The first thing you do when you get back is to come here to find me. I will teach you how to control and use your own Forbidden Ruins. If I don’t teach you how to control the Forbidden Ruins, I think it won’t be long before you tear this stronghold to shreds.”

Li Lian: (?_?)

You're making me sound like some kind of energetic canine!

"Yes!"

……

Walking back to his old rented room, Li Lian kept recalling his state in the training ground. The feeling of his Zanpakuto becoming one with him was truly amazing. The sword techniques, from drawing the sword to sheathing it, were all so natural and harmonious.

I feel like I've not just learned swordsmanship, but also grasped the concept of which move to use in which situation. Now it's like an instinct, skipping the thought process.

It must be a hidden effect of the Zanpakuto. After all, the previous owner of this sword was a big shot who founded a martial arts school. It makes perfect sense that I obtained his Zanpakuto and learned some sword techniques from it!

Yesterday, I was wearing protective gear and getting beaten up by Hongying, but today I can hold my own against her and even make her look bad. Although it's probably thanks to the fire sprinkler, my progress is clearly visible.

I'm standing right in front of you. How much do I resemble my former self?

This demolition wasn't for nothing! I'll accept being called a husky even if it's ridiculous!

However, demolishing a base doesn't give experience points, and neither did fighting Hongying to a draw. If demolishing a base did give experience points, Li Lian guarantees that in less than an hour, the entire 136th squad could be wandering the streets.

I arrived at my rented room, or rather, my storage room. It was a tiny room of less than 10 square meters, without even a toilet. The only thing in the room was a small wooden bed, a table and a small chair in front of the only window, and a wire that served as a clothes rack and wardrobe. There were two or three sets of clothes hanging on the wire.

He pulled a suitcase out from under the bed, stuffed his clothes into it, and then casually rolled up all the blankets, sheets, and pillows from his small wooden bed and stuffed them into the suitcase as well.

After looking around the house and finding nothing to miss, I grabbed my suitcase and left.

As Li Lian was leaving, he ran into the landlord who had rented him the house. He told him that he had found a job there, with room and board provided, and that he wouldn't be coming back.

Then, preparing to leave gracefully amidst the landlord's surprised gaze, I waved goodbye as a gesture of farewell.

Do you still want that 200 yuan deposit?

"want!"

……

When Li Lian was pulling his suitcase past the entrance of No. 2 Middle School, he saw Zhao Kongcheng sitting on the curb opposite the school gate, smoking a cigarette. There were cigarette butts all over the ground around him, and his bloodshot eyes were full of confusion.

"Old Zhao! What are you doing sitting here?" Li Lian pulled his suitcase over to Zhao Kongcheng and expertly pulled a cigarette pack from his pocket. "Damn, not a single one left? How many did you smoke?"

Zhao Kongcheng took a drag of his cigarette and said, "What do you think I'm doing here? Sunbathing? Of course, I'm looking for Lin Qiye, that bad boy who stood me up! Isn't he your classmate from No. 2 Middle School? Where else am I supposed to wait for him if I'm not at the entrance of No. 2 Middle School?!"

"Old Zhao, I know you're a soldier, decisive, and you value prudence. But have you ever thought about this?"

"what is the problem?"

"If you were a high school student and experienced so much last night, would you still come to school today?"

"Yes! The most important task for a high school student is to study!"

Li Lian: (?_?)

"Then you can wait patiently. I have something to do, so I'll leave first. But I suggest you use some methods to find out Lin Qiye's home address at the school."

After Li Lian finished speaking, he tossed Zhao Kongcheng an unopened pack of cigarettes, which he had just bought with the deposit his landlord had returned.

"Here's yours back! Use it sparingly."

"Got it, get out of here."

Anyway, Lin Qiye will still take this route back from the library tonight, and then be caught by Lao Zhao and taken to a love hotel for a talk! Let him stay here, so he doesn't have to run around. It wouldn't be fun if he ran into Ghost Face King beforehand.

It's not for any other reason, it's just that it would be such a waste if my experience points were lost. Others are waiting for rice to cook, but I'm here waiting for experience points to level up.

Firstly, it was to save Old Zhao's soul. Only by throwing Old Zhao into the Soul Society could he have the opportunity to find Zangetsu for him. Old Zhao had been a Night Watchman for so long, and his greatest wish was to have his own Forbidden Ruins, wasn't it?

Old Zhao is a reliable person, so we must grant your small wish!

Once we find Old Zhao's Zanpakuto and make him a Shinigami, he'll be able to leave Soul Society and become a great help to us!

Another point is that with Soul Society, I can be considered a transmigrator with my own personal space. What's the point of transmigrating if I don't have a personal space?

It's like you're demeaning yourself!

Following the address written on the note, Li Lian found his new residence. After opening the door, he discovered that the room was much better than the storage room he used to live in. He took his things out of his suitcase, hung up his clothes, made his bed, and then left his new home.

There's no time to settle down in my own little home right now; the most important thing is to hurry up and find Deputy Captain Wu to learn how to control the Forbidden Ruins!

I've made some progress in my swordsmanship; now it's time to familiarize myself with and improve my skills!

Wu Xiangnan was, after all, a vice-captain and a former member of a special team. He was quite knowledgeable and experienced. Teaching a newcomer was a waste of his talents. If he hadn't used his position as a powerful figure and given himself the identity of a divine agent, he certainly wouldn't have been valued so much.

It's not that the other members of Squad 136 are bad, but who would complain that their teacher is better?
