Well, this is a bit overwhelming
[Thunder Attribute Affinity]
[Talent Effect: Lightning Attribute Kidō Grandmaster. When using a Zanpakutō, gains an additional permanent lightning attribute.]
With the awakening of this additional talent, Saikyō became exhilarated.
This means that once he becomes a Shinigami, he will definitely awaken a lightning attribute Zanpakutō.
You see, in the entire Gotei 13, there are only a handful of Zanpakutō with thunder attributes.
The Vice-Captain of the First Division, Chōjirō Sasakibe, wields a lightning Zanpakutō named Gonryōmaru.
Moreover, Gonryōmaru is the only known Zanpakutō, aside from Hyōrinmaru, that can control the weather.
One can imagine Saikyō's excitement at this moment.
Reading the talent description repeatedly, he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The awakening of this additional talent was far more powerful than he had anticipated!
"If just maxing out Byakurai can awaken the Thunder Attribute talent, wouldn't maxing out something like Sōkatsui awaken a Fire Attribute talent?" Saikyō suddenly made a bold guess.
Thunder, fire, water, ice, wind attributes…
If he maxes out all kinds of Kidō skills, he might awaken talents for all elements.
And when that happens, wouldn't it mean…
He might awaken a unique all-attribute Zanpakutō?
"A full-attribute Zanpakutō... That would be unprecedented in the Soul Society, even in the past two thousand years!" Just thinking about it made Saikyō's blood boil with excitement.
Of course.
What thrilled him the most was the nearly limitless skill points.
This means he can max out any skill he learns and awaken additional talents.
This means that Saikyō's future has limitless possibilities!
"Next, let's try Bakudō skills." Saikyō calmed his excitement and looked at the attribute panel again.
In the Bakudō section, there were only two skills:
Bakudō #1, Sai!
Bakudō #4, Hainawa!
These two Bakudō had limited power and effects due to their lower numbers.
But with unlimited skill points, everything becomes entirely different!
"Hopefully, Bakudō works the same way."
With high expectations, Saikyō repeated the operation and clicked the plus sign next to the skill.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host. Sai's level has been raised to LV2!"
Just like before, as the system prompt sounded, the level of Bakudō increased.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host. Sai's level has been raised to LV3!"
"Congratulations, Host. Sai's level has been raised to LV4!"
"Congratulations, Host. Sai's level has been raised to LV99!"
...
The system notifications, like a bombardment of text messages, kept ringing in his ears.
Saikyō clicked all the way to the maximum level in one go. The "+" sign next to Sai disappeared, and a "MAX" symbol appeared.
"It's time to test the power of a max-level Bakudō!"
Full of excitement, Saikyō went under a large tree and raised his finger.
"Bakudō #1, Sai!"
As the chant ended, a special pattern, visible to the naked eye, appeared at Saikyō's fingertip, like ripples in water.
This pattern glowed with white light, continuously absorbing the surrounding spiritual particles, and finally transformed into a giant spider web.
"This is insane!"
Saikyō couldn't help but exclaim.
After Sai was upgraded to the maximum level, it brought an astonishing visual effect.
What surprised him even more was that the web pattern had a special ability to absorb Reiatsu.
It was a completely new form of restraint, unlike anything seen before!
"Even an ordinary seated officer would have their movements blocked by a max-level Sai, right? It would definitely have a surprising effect." Saikyō showed a satisfied smile.
The upgraded Bakudō was powerful beyond expectation!
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host. You have gained an additional talent: Reiatsu Amplification!"
Just then, the system beeped again.
Just like last time, Saikyō gained another talent!
"Reiatsu Amplification? That sounds pretty impressive!"
With an eager attitude, Saikyō immediately opened the attributes panel.

As expected.
In the talent column, the words "Reiatsu Amplification" had been added.
[Reiatsu Amplification]
[Talent Effect: When casting any Bakudō, can absorb external spiritual energy, thereby enhancing the power of the Bakudō.]
"A permanent passive talent!"
Saikyō looked at the talent description and was immediately overjoyed.
Compared to "Lightning Attribute Affinity," this talent was equally incredible, as it permanently increased the power of Bakudō.
A simple and direct effect!
"There's one more skill. I wonder what surprises it will bring when maxed out." Just as Saikyō was excited and about to max out another skill, he heard a sound outside the courtyard gate.
"Saikyō!"
"Are you practicing Kidō? I heard a loud noise just now."
A gentle voice called out.
Saikyō turned around slowly, and the figure of the person speaking came into view.
Beneath long, purple hair was a beautiful, delicate face and a perfectly proportioned body. Her overall presence was flawless and impeccable.
"Sister Yoruichi!"
Saikyō greeted warmly.
Yes, the one who had suddenly appeared was the current head of the Shihōin family and Captain of the Gotei 13's Second Division.
The woman known as the "Flash Goddess" — Shihōin Yoruichi!
"Sister Yoruichi, long time no see. The Division must have been keeping you busy lately?" Saikyō smiled.
"Hey, Saikyō, you're acting a bit strange today." Yoruichi snorted lightly, as if unaccustomed to it. "Every time we met before, you'd rush over and hug me right away."
Huh?
Was that really how he acted?
Saikyō was stunned for a moment but quickly regained his composure and responded cleverly, "I've been training all afternoon, and I'm covered in sweat. I was worried you wouldn't like it, Sister."
"Silly, how could that be? You're my dearest brother."
Yoruichi came up to Saikyō, chuckled softly, and playfully flicked his forehead.
"Ouch, Sister Yoruichi, your hands are so strong!"
Saikyō staggered and fell into Yoruichi's arms.
Mmm!
What a pleasant scent!
Smelling the fragrance that wafted up, Saikyō immediately relaxed, feeling enveloped in her warmth.
"Saikyō, you've been practicing all afternoon. You must be exhausted, right?"
Yoruichi allowed her brother to lean against her.
The bond between them was truly close!
