This Is A New Version Of The Ship That Has Never Been Seen Before
"Mr. Urahara, your way of greeting is really unique." Saikyō clutched his stomach in pain, rolling his eyes in exasperation.
Not to mention, the tea he drank earlier definitely had laxatives in it.
Having been tricked, Saikyō had to admit that the shopkeeper's pranks were indeed difficult to guard against.
"Just you wait!"
"I will definitely get my revenge!"
Saikyō clutched his stomach and hurriedly left the room. He had to deal with the diarrhea first.
"Oh ho ho, Saikyō-kun, turn left outside the toilet and hurry. I can't guarantee how long the medicine will take to work," Urahara Kisuke joked with a grin.
"Kisuke, you're really too much, tricking my younger brother like that!" Yoruichi, sitting at the head of the table, rolled her eyes in disapproval at Urahara.
"As Saikyō's future teacher, I thought I should give him a little lesson first!" Urahara Kisuke replied calmly, facing Yoruichi's accusation with a smile.
He and Yoruichi had been close friends for many years and were quite familiar with each other.
As for the laxatives, the shopkeeper didn't mean any harm; it was merely a prank.
The reason he had come to the Shihōin Mansion in the first place was entirely due to Yoruichi's invitation.
"Have you given it some thought?"
Yoruichi's eyes lit up.
"Oh ho ho... Saikyō is the future head of the Shihōin family. If I can build a good relationship with him now, I might be able to walk with my head held high in the Seireitei in the future."
Urahara Kisuke joked, showing his humorous side.
After all, Saikyō was still just a kid, and it was more about building a rapport rather than currying favor.
And with Urahara's status and position, it was more than appropriate for him to be Saikyō's instructor.
"Then I'm relieved. With your guidance, Saikyō's training will definitely progress by leaps and bounds." Yoruichi smiled, satisfied.
While she could also give Saikyō advice, Yoruichi was often busy with her duties as a captain and rarely had free time.
But Urahara Kisuke was different. As the third seat of the division, he didn't need to assist with team affairs much, and as the commander of the Detention Unit, his main responsibility was overseeing the Maggot's Nest, which held imprisoned Shinigami.
This meant that the shopkeeper had more free time and fewer responsibilities.
Most importantly, Yoruichi knew very well that Urahara Kisuke possessed the strength of a captain, having achieved Bankai in just three days—an impressive feat.
Considering all these factors, there was no one more suitable to be Saikyō's tutor!
"Captain Yoruichi, aren't you overestimating me a bit?" Urahara joked self-deprecatingly. "Someone like me can't compare to Saikyō-kun."
"Kisuke, you're just being humble." Yoruichi laughed, then added, "By the way, why has Saikyō been gone so long? He still hasn't come back."
"I'm starting to think he might have fainted in the bathroom," Urahara said, feeling a bit guilty.
After all, it was just a prank, and he didn't want Saikyō to suffer any harm.

Meanwhile, in a secluded corner outside the hall...
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host! Bakudō #4: Hainawa has been upgraded to LV2!"
"Congratulations, Host! Bakudō #4: Hainawa has been upgraded to LV3!"
"Congratulations, Host! Bakudō #4: Hainawa has been upgraded to LV4!"
"Congratulations, Host! Bakudō #4: Hainawa has been upgraded to LV99!"
...
The system notifications rang in Saikyō's ears like a constant barrage of text messages.
While Yoruichi and Urahara were chatting, Saikyō had been busy maxing out another Bakudō.
Just like before, the "+" sign next to Hainawa disappeared, replaced by a "MAX" indicator.
The system's attribute panel had changed accordingly.

"I will definitely get my revenge!"
Saikyō gritted his teeth.
He wasn't someone who would suffer in silence. Even if it was just a friendly prank, he needed to get even.
Just then...
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host! You have gained the additional talent: Attribute Fusion!"
The system beeped again.
"Huh, Attribute Fusion? What kind of talent is this?"
Curious, Saikyō looked at the talent's description.
---
Attribute Fusion
Talent Effect: When casting any Bakudō, it can incorporate additional attributes, thereby enhancing its power.
---
"Being able to add attributes? This is a unique and practical talent!"
Saikyō couldn't help but feel excited.
With the ability to attach additional attributes to Bakudō, it was like gaining a new skill set he had never imagined!
"System, does this mean that when I cast any Bakudō, I can add the lightning attribute I've already mastered?"
"Yes, after awakening this talent, casting Hainawa with Reiatsu will create an electric rope that can paralyze its target."
The system provided a simple explanation.
"This is amazing! It's an invincible talent!"
Saikyō grinned.
Not only the lightning attribute, but he could also add fire, water, ice, wind, and so on.
As long as he mastered more elemental affinities, he could incorporate multiple attributes into any Bakudō, greatly enhancing its power.
Imagine being trapped by a Bakudō while simultaneously being burned by flames, paralyzed by electricity, and frozen by cold winds.
Just thinking about it felt terrifying!
"This talent appeared at just the right time. I can test its power against Urahara-san." Saikyō closed the attribute panel, looking satisfied.
With Urahara's strength as a third seat, he was definitely the perfect target!

Back in the lobby of the Shihōin Mansion...
"Yoruichi, why don't I go look for him? I'm really sorry; maybe I put too much medicine in. I didn't expect this to happen." Urahara Kisuke paced back and forth, looking guilty.
They had been waiting for a while, and Saikyō still hadn't returned, making Urahara anxious.
"Kisuke, there's no need. My little brother is already back!"
Yoruichi responded quickly, looking towards the entrance of the hall.
"Ah, it's Saikyō-kun!"
Urahara Kisuke followed Yoruichi's gaze and saw Saikyō standing at the entrance of the lobby.
However...
The next moment, Saikyō cast a Bakudō at him.
"Bakudō #4: Hainawa!"
