A week passed quickly.
Below the Sogyoku Execution Stand, in the secret underground training ground.
The barrier here had been updated, allowing the release of all Kido below number 90.
Watching Yoruichi Shihōin warm up, Aozaki Reiji unconsciously took off his robe.
"Reiji, are you ready?" Yoruichi Shihōin said seriously.
Aozaki Reiji's gaze was firm, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm ready."
Yoruichi Shihōin slowly took off her jacket, revealing her beautiful, healthy-toned back.
Thinking about what he was about to do, Aozaki Reiji couldn't help but swallow.
Noticing his reaction, Yoruichi nodded, sat cross-legged on the ground, "Actually, I originally planned to teach you Shunko after your Reiatsu reached the Captain-class."
"But since you can defeat Captain-class rebels with Sokotsu, you already possess the basic Spirit Body conditions for using Shunko."
Faced with the temptation of Shunko, how many men could resist it…
As he was thinking this, Aozaki Reiji eagerly said, "Let's get started!"
Yoruichi Shihōin was very satisfied with his attitude and said seriously:
"Simply put, ordinary Hakuda uses spiritual power to enhance the speed and strength of attacks, but the Spirit Body itself is not strengthened."
"Hakuda is said to be a martial art, but it actually uses spiritual power to propel the body to make movements and to coordinate spiritual power with movements for attack."
"The body is merely the vessel for spiritual power; it is still spiritual power that truly plays the role."
"However, Captain-Commander Yamamoto's Hakuda focuses more on the training of the Spirit Body, with spiritual power contained within the Spirit Body itself, enhancing the destructive power that the Spirit Body can cause."
"Shunko is also very troublesome to use; it not only requires changing the attribute of spiritual power, but also requires spiritual power and the Spirit Body to achieve synchronization."
"Converting one's spiritual power into Kido spiritual power of different attributes and wrapping it around the body, then using explosions to integrate Kido with the hands and feet for combat—this is the fighting style of Shunko."
"Both Shunko and Captain-Commander Yamamoto's Hakuda techniques require strong physical fitness."
"The specific difference is actually the difference in the way spiritual power is used and the way attacks are carried out."
"In layman's terms, the former focuses on external force, while the latter focuses on internal force."
As expected of the martial arts master in the Soul Society, her explanation was truly simple and easy to understand.
Aozaki Reiji, who wholeheartedly practiced Captain-Commander Yamamoto's Hakuda, also understood perfectly and couldn't help but say, "This is indeed very suitable for me. I am very confident in my mastery of Kido and Hakuda techniques."
Yoruichi Shihōin held out three fingers and said with a smile, "There are three main issues in training Shunko."
"Firstly, Reiatsu level. You have already met this. Shunko actually does not have high requirements for Reiatsu; Vice-Captain-class is sufficient."
"The reason I said before that I would only teach you Shunko when you reached the third-grade spiritual power was because when your Reiatsu level reaches Captain-class, your physical fitness will also surpass most seated officers and Vice-Captains due to the spiritual power's nourishment…"
Aozaki Reiji waved his hand and smiled, "Spiritual power is the source of a Shinigami's strength, right? Increasing spiritual power can also, in turn, strengthen the body. I understand that."
Yoruichi Shihōin shook her head and chuckled, "Secondly, Spirit Body strength. Your Spirit Body is no weaker than a Captain-class, so there's no need to say more; you meet the conditions for practicing Shunko."
Aozaki Reiji felt relieved. This was the benefit of having a good teacher.
He didn't have to worry about training methods, and someone was there to help him oversee the details.
Yoruichi Shihōin's expression remained solemn as she said seriously, "The crucial point is the last one."
Aozaki Reiji immediately straightened his back and sat up properly.
Yoruichi took a deep breath and continued, "You need to prepare a nice outfit, preferably a backless one without sleeves. Otherwise, every time you use Shunko, you'll ruin your clothes, which will be very troublesome."
"Hah! I thought you were going to talk about the coordination techniques of spiritual power and the Spirit Body."
Aozaki Reiji rolled his eyes in exasperation, "I'm good at taking off clothes."
"Hmm!?" Yoruichi Shihōin looked at him with a half-smile for a moment, "With serious matters at hand, you still have the mood to tease me. Should I say this Captain is too charming or what?"
How could he say such a thing in front of a girl?
He used to love teasing young girls so much, but now he hadn't said such things for a long time.
"Where did your thoughts go? I was talking about Captain-Commander Yamamoto."
Seeing Yoruichi about to get angry again, Aozaki Reiji quickly waved his hand, "Did you forget that Captain-Commander Yamamoto doesn't like to wear a shirt when he fights? I already asked him for tips on quickly taking off clothes."
"To tell you the truth, Captain-Commander Yamamoto said I was the best among all his disciples, and the bow ties I tied with my sleeves were the best looking among all the students he taught."
"If you don't believe me, I'll tie one for you to see…"
"You brat, don't be so competitive in such strange areas!" Yoruichi Shihōin shouted, placing her hands on Aozaki Reiji's face and rubbing it.
"I know, can you please let go first? My face is going to be ruined if you keep doing this," Aozaki Reiji mumbled.
The more Aozaki Reiji begged for mercy, the more Yoruichi Shihōin wanted to bully him. Why did he always make her angry?
Moreover, she knew his talent very well. If she didn't seize the chance to bully him now, she probably wouldn't have the opportunity in a few years.
Aozaki Reiji said "no" with his mouth, but his body was very honest, his lips curving slightly upwards.
Being bullied by a handsome young woman didn't seem like a bad thing to him.
However, he still made a solemn declaration in his heart—
He definitely didn't have any strange fetishes.
Yoruichi Shihōin had no idea what he was thinking, and her hands continued their actions.
The two played around for a long time before finally letting go of each other amidst gasps.
Yoruichi Shihōin sat on Aozaki Reiji, arms crossed, in a victor's stance, looking down on the defeated.
She leaned forward slightly, reached out and patted Aozaki Reiji's face, then licked her lips and said, "Just surrender obediently. You can't be my opponent right now. Don't forget the main business."
Feeling the hot breath washing over him, Aozaki Reiji felt his face flush slightly, and he panted, "I know, just get up first."
"Good that you know." Yoruichi Shihōin's lips curved into a triumphant smile: "Hurry up and practice. After we're done, we'll go enjoy the hot spring."
"I went to all that trouble to steal that thing, and I still don't know how effective it is."
Aozaki Reiji smiled slightly: "If it's not good, then we'll go settle the score with Kisuke!"
"That makes sense. It's been a while since I've played with Kisuke," Yoruichi Shihōin grinned.
The two quickly began practicing Shunko.
At Yoruichi Shihōin's signal, Aozaki Reiji took off his shirt, demonstrating the bow tie that even Captain-Commander Yamamoto had praised.
Yoruichi Shihōin gave a perfunctory compliment, then personally guided Aozaki Reiji in converting his Reiatsu into lightning-attribute Kido.
For Aozaki Reiji, this was not difficult. His Kido training had never fallen behind, and he could basically use all Kido below number 90 proficiently.
What was slightly more difficult was compressing the Kido and integrating it with his own hands and feet.
