Astonishing Feat

The screen shifts.

Base Camp for Field Training

Just as Saikyō was fighting the Menos Grande, the appearance of the black cavity caused chaos in the camp.

"Look! The sky is shattered!"

"What the hell is that?"

"Isn't it the gateway to Hueco Mundo?"

The students who had not yet left the camp showed horrified expressions whenever they looked at the black cavity passage.

Since they had not been enrolled for long, most people knew nothing about the black cavity, and only a few guessed that it had something to do with "Hueco Mundo."

The dark and empty passage exuded a chilling silence, accompanied by strong negative emotions.

Its appearance caused an instant sensation!

"Damn it!"

"There's a black cavity channel?!"

Hiyori looked up at the sky, feeling uneasy.

She immediately realized one thing—the Menos Grande had arrived!

"Vice-Captain Hiyori, the place where the black cavity appeared seems to be the training ground of the special training class!" Elder Akita, the leader of the team, hurried over.

Director Akita's words hit Hiyori like a bombshell, causing her heart to race.

Her face changed repeatedly.

"Damn it! Saikyō and the others are still over there! I have to go rescue them immediately!" Hiyori's thoughts were disordered, and her heart was filled with anxiety.

She had thought she wouldn't need to worry too much about this field training.

Unexpectedly, Menos Grande had come suddenly, and now she was facing the possibility of losing her students.

Hiyori fidgeted nervously.

"Vice-Captain Hiyori, since the situation over there is temporarily unknown, I suggest you wait until all the mentors are assembled before going together," Director Akita proposed.

"No! Then it will be too late! I have to race against time!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Hiyori refused.

Without even looking back, she lifted her Zanpakutō and turned away, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

For Hiyori, this was an urgent rescue.

If something happened to Saikyō, she would never forgive herself!

"Hey, she's really impatient. The risk of acting rashly is too great. Why not wait a little longer?" Director Akita shook his head helplessly and sighed.

With no other choice, he could only organize an emergency dispatch and rally the mentors to assist in the rescue.

The original chaotic order was restored to a semblance of structure under Director Akita's leadership.

The Other Side

The scene returns to the desert.

Clatter——

The explosion of the Sōren Sōkatsui and the indiscriminate blast of Cero beams reduced the land to ruins.

Looking around, there were raging flames everywhere, and black smoke lingered in the air, making it seem like this place had just experienced a tremendous battle.

"Haah..."

A steady breathing sound broke the silence first.

Saikyō, wearing a white student uniform, slowly emerged from the thick fog. Although his clothes and face were stained, he bore no injuries.

He was obviously unscathed by the explosion.

"All Gillian's auras have disappeared; they should have been killed by the Sōren Sōkatsui," Saikyō said as he carefully sensed the area with his Reiatsu.

In the dense fog before him, except for two faint auras, all others had vanished without a trace.

And those two auras were none other than Jio and Abirama.

These two subordinate officers of the Skeleton Emperor were on the brink of death after being severely injured by the Sōren Sōkatsui!

As predicted...

As time passed, the black fog gradually dissipated.

The humanoid griffin and saber-toothed tiger came into view.

Compared to their initial appearances, they were now in a very sorry state.

Not to mention the humanoid griffin, which had already lost a wing earlier; now, after being hit by the explosion, all its feathers were burned away, leaving it looking like a vulture.

As for the saber-toothed tiger, both of its iconic canine teeth were shattered. The black stripes on its back were marred by numerous bloody scars.

The situation for both of them was dire!

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"

"You almost killed me!"

Abirama roared madly.

At this moment, his arrogance had completely evaporated, and he felt as if death was imminent.

As for Jio, with Huya shattered, his mouth was bloodied, rendering him unable to speak.

He glared at Saikyō with burning rage, his pupils filled with ultimate killing intent.

"There's one thing I must correct you."

"Not 'nearly killed,' but dying immediately!"

Saikyō showed no mercy, as he intended to give his opponents no chance.

"Thundering chariot, gap in the spinning wheel, this thing has lights clustered and divided into six!"

"Sixty-one of Bakudō, the six-stick light prison!"

As the Bakudō chant fell, more than a dozen blazing and shining light sheets appeared around the two of them out of thin air, instantly sealing the two subordinate officers inside.

The light blossomed, becoming unbreakable.

The movements of the griffin and saber-toothed tiger were completely restricted!

Saikyō picked up his Asauchi again, a smile playing on his lips.

The Asauchi, along with his soul-purifying abilities, was the best weapon against the void.

Now that the two subordinate officers were before him, Saikyō certainly would not miss this opportunity.

"You... what are you going to do?!"

Finding that no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't break free from the six-stick light prison, Abirama finally succumbed to despair.

In his eyes, there was a glimmer of boundless fear.

At this moment, Saikyō appeared to him as a ghost wielding a butcher's knife, ready to judge his fate at any moment!

"Damn it! To die like this is truly a disgrace to the emperor's years of cultivation!" Jio let out a beast-like roar, struggling desperately in his broken body.

It was a pity that the more they struggled, the stronger the bindings became.

In the end, they lost the strength to resist and could only watch helplessly as Saikyō approached.

"Don't worry..."

"Although I haven't been to Hueco Mundo yet, this desert that has been reduced to ruins should not be much different from it. It is quite suitable for burying your corpses."

Saikyō's voice echoed like a judgment of fate.

Finally, meeting the eyes of the two subordinate officers, he waved the Asauchi expressionlessly.

Swish—

With a flash of white light, blood bloomed one after another, accompanied by a pungent smell.

The Gillian groups numbering up to a dozen, along with the two subordinate officers under the Skeleton Emperor, were all killed by Saikyō, their souls purified.

As a "freshman," Saikyō had achieved an incredibly brilliant record, relying entirely on his own strength!
