Combining Kido

Thinking about the infinite possibilities of merging different attributes, Saikyō's eyes lit up with excitement.

He decided to give it a try and experiment with it!

"Brother Saikyō, are you serious?"

Seeing Saikyō's eagerness, Urahara Kisuke couldn't help but question him.

A Kidō that combines two different attributes.

The idea, while novel, had very little chance of success. At least, Urahara Kisuke had never heard of such a thing being attempted before.

"Mr. Urahara, look at me. Do I seem like I'm joking?" Saikyō was full of energy, as if he had been injected with a surge of adrenaline.

"But…"

Urahara Kisuke was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Mr. Urahara, if you don't even have the courage to try, don't you think that's a wasted life? Even if you fail, at least you won't have any regrets," Saikyō expressed his inner thoughts earnestly.

"Indeed! You're right. Only by taking the first step can you explore new possibilities." Urahara Kisuke nodded in agreement, clearly resonating with Saikyō's words.

He couldn't help but recall that there was a plan in his experimental log that had been put on hold—soul fusion!

Based on a large number of Hollow souls, a brand-new entity would be created.

This was Urahara Kisuke's "Soul Fusion" project.

Although the plan had been conceived long ago, Urahara Kisuke never started it due to limitations in both materials and the environment.

Now, Saikyō's words were like a lighthouse in the dark night, suddenly illuminating everything.

Urahara Kisuke felt enlightened!

"It's absurd. I'm not even as bold as a kid. If you have the chance, you must try." Urahara Kisuke shook his head with a self-mocking smile.

"Mr. Urahara? Why are you spacing out all of a sudden?"

As Urahara Kisuke was lost in thought, Saikyō's puzzled voice came from the front.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just remembered something." Urahara Kisuke snapped back to reality and quickly returned to the topic. "Saikyō, just try it as you said."

"Alright, I'll give it my best!"

Saikyō nodded and took a deep breath.

"Hadō #11, Tsuzuri Raiden!"

"Hadō #12, Fushibi!"

Saikyō cast the Hadō spells without an incantation.

Most of his Reiatsu was consumed internally, depleting his energy instantly.

Lightning crackled, and flames flickered.

The thin, linear threads of Reiatsu transformed—part of them became flames, and part of them became lightning. Driven by Saikyō's will, they spread in all directions.

Surprisingly, the flames and lightning fused perfectly, without any repulsion, as if it were completely natural.

This scene astonished Urahara Kisuke once again!

"Brother Saikyō, although the effect is not bad, it still seems like they haven't completely merged and are still two distinct Kidō spells," Urahara Kisuke commented objectively.

"Mr. Urahara, I realized that too. My ultimate goal is to fully integrate flames and lightning," Saikyō nodded.

"Let's take a break. You look quite exhausted." Urahara Kisuke encouraged with a chuckle, "Don't worry, if you fail once, try again, and eventually, you'll succeed."

The more he interacted with his disciple, the more Urahara Kisuke found Saikyō to his liking.

If nothing else, his perseverance alone reminded him of himself in the past!

Time flew by.

An afternoon passed in the blink of an eye.

"Phew…"

"Mr. Urahara, the hot spring here is truly miraculous. After just soaking for an afternoon, the Reiatsu in my body has almost fully recovered." Saikyō's voice was filled with emotion.

Saikyō stepped out of the hot spring and stretched comfortably, feeling rejuvenated.

"Oh ho ho…"

"The healing hot spring here was created by a certain important person; it's only a replica," Urahara Kisuke said with a hearty smile.

"Really? Even a replica has this effect?" Saikyō was amazed. "If I ever get the chance, I'd love to experience the authentic hot spring."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Saikyō, I'm afraid that's wishful thinking. Even I can't enter that place where that important person resides."

Urahara Kisuke joked and then changed the topic, "Alright, enough chatting. You should continue your training now."

"Understood."

Saikyō nodded and walked towards the training ground.

During this process, he kept recalling what Urahara Kisuke had just said.

He was 80% sure that the important person Urahara mentioned was one of the members of the Royal Guard—Tenjirō Kirinji!

This man, with his "pompadour" hairstyle, held the special title of "Hot Spring Demon" and was in charge of the "Palace of Healing Waters."

Unohana Retsu's medical skills were personally taught by him, and he was also the only person who directly called her by her first name.

"To think that even at this early time, Urahara had already met the Royal Guard. No wonder he knows so many secrets. As expected, he was aware of the Soul King's existence from the beginning," Saikyō speculated briefly.

He became even more curious about Urahara's past.

Such an unfathomable genius, the only one acknowledged by Aizen, must have gone through some unknown events.

If possible, he had to find out more!

"Mr. Urahara, I'm starting!"

After reaching the center of the training ground, Saikyō quickly collected his thoughts and began his training regimen.

This time, he didn't attempt a double incantation, but focused on a single Hadō spell.

"Hadō #12, Fushibi!"

The thin, linear threads of Reiatsu spread continuously in all directions, raising the temperature to a boiling point.

However, during the process, the Reiatsu threads transformed, turning into a constantly flickering arc of lightning, with an excess of thunderous power within.

"It actually worked?"

Urahara Kisuke, who had been observing from the stone steps, stood up in surprise after seeing the scene unfold below.

The threads of Reiatsu around Saikyō were shaped like arcs of lightning, but they radiated intense heat.

Clearly, two different attributes had been combined!

"It finally succeeded!"

As the one performing the technique, Saikyō wasn't too surprised.

With his special talent, fusing different attributes was just a matter of time and effort.

As long as he had enough Reiatsu, not just two attributes like fire and lightning, even ten attributes could be perfectly integrated!

Boom! ! !

Then, a series of explosions rang out.

The area around Saikyō was bombarded by fire and lightning, leaving the ground charred and emitting a pungent, acrid smell.

Immediately afterward, within just a few breaths, a huge crater appeared, penetrating through the surface of the training ground.

The power of Kidō combined was on full display!
