Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 579 Instantaneous Coaxing

……

An eerie silence fell over the dojo.

Byakuya?

Is Byakuya referring to the heir of the Kuchiki family?

Also, does this mean that when you are instructing someone, you see them use Shunpo and then you learn it yourself?

Standing at the door, Yushiro felt his worldview crumbling, with serious cracks already appearing.

You think you can learn just by watching carefully? Is that even human language?

The Flash Step is a high-level footwork technique that Shinigami (Death Gods) are proud of. The "walking" movement in the Shinigami's fighting style is the Flash Step, which is the ultimate expression of Shinigami speed. Ordinary members may not be able to master it even after a lifetime of hard work, let alone reach the captain level. But for Yuuko-neechan, she mastered it after only watching it a few times, and even surprised her.

This is simply too unbelievable. Even though, in the eyes of Yushiro, who was watching from the sidelines, Shunpo was not as fast as his sister, it was still far faster than his own.

Even Yushiro couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

What a joke! How long did he train so hard in the back mountains to improve his Instant Step technique? How many times did his sister beat him up?

So, people just learn how to use it by watching others use it?

Yoruichi was no less shocked than Yushiro.

Could that so-called transparent world really do something like this?

Even her signature Instant Step technique was quickly overtaken by Yuuko.

But Yoruichi didn't feel jealous; instead, she felt a sense of gratitude for her friend and a strange surge of fighting spirit.

However, what intrigued her was...

Yoruichi tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "I'm also skilled in Shunpo. Why didn't you learn it from me before?"

Because Yuko was new to the area and didn't know much, she and Kisuke Urahara first taught her the basics of controlling spiritual power and the classification of Kido, etc. They hadn't taught her techniques like Shunpo yet.

"Because Yoruichi is very fast, even my eyes have difficulty fully discerning the movement of the spirit particles," Yuko explained with a smile. "But Byakuya is different. His spiritual pressure level hasn't reached Yoruichi's level yet, and his physical abilities still need to be honed."

Yuko wasn't exactly a pushover either. Whether it was the markings, the Demon King's superhuman physical abilities, or the breathing techniques, they were all no match for Reiko.

The Shinigami's body, enhanced by spiritual particles, far surpasses hers in perception, dynamic visual capture, and even in terms of pure physical attributes.

But there is only one thing: a clear understanding of the world.

To Yuko's surprise, she could see the structure of the human body clearly, and even the movement of spiritual particles within the body. She could even perceive the spiritual particles in the surrounding space when she was paying close attention.

When she first arrived, even though her physical condition was difficult to compare with Yoruichi's when she was slightly serious, she was able to avoid Yoruichi's attacks by relying on her clear vision to make advance judgments.

The existence of the Transparent World also allowed Ikuko to rapidly deepen her understanding of the Shinigami power system.

Yuko had already realized that the Shinigami's combat abilities were all based on spiritual pressure.

The same applies to Zanpakuto; they are not products of absolute rules and can be weakened or even rendered ineffective due to differences in spiritual pressure levels.

Oh~

This woman is actually praising her? The sun must have risen in the west!

Yoruichi was overjoyed and suddenly found Ikuko much more pleasing to the eye.

Yoruichi joked, "I'll say that to Byakuya next time. He'll be really sad to hear his teacher say that about him. He might even feel so wronged that he wants to cry."

Yu Zi rolled her eyes: "You'd only explode if he heard that."

"Hmph~ Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you said that~" Yoruichi smiled and said arrogantly, "I'll teach you a lesson right away."

“If you think you can keep up with my Shunpo like this, you’re sorely mistaken.” Yoruichi’s golden eyes flashed with a hint of fighting spirit. “I’m not Byakuya’s little brother.”

If the previous Yuko was like a baby learning to walk, and Yoruichi trained her with more of a guiding mindset, then the current Yuko is a true opponent to face.

Unbeknownst to her, her control over spirit particles had become increasingly stronger, at a speed that was simply unbelievable.

Perhaps there are unique aspects to her, but it is undeniable that this is far beyond the progress rate of an ordinary Grim Reaper.

While Yoruichi was filled with fighting spirit, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, unsure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

But this slight worry only lasted for a moment before Yoruichi put it out of her mind. What was more important now was that she didn't want this idiot to be so smug.

Yoruichi took a deep breath. "Let me show you my abilities, which I haven't fully developed yet."

"Not finished developing?" Yuko tilted her head in confusion. "Won't it explode?"

"Don't get my blood splattered on me later."

Yoruichi cursed, "You think it's a bomb?"

She snorted coldly, "Although I haven't fully mastered the ability yet, it's more than enough to deal with you. Just don't cry later."

Yoruichi already understood that it would be difficult to defeat Ikuko by relying solely on Shunpo. Ikuko's perception of the Transparent World was too terrifying and greatly restrained the pure speed of Shunpo.

"Whoosh~" Yoruichi lowered her body slightly, and a piercing electric sound rang out. High concentrations of spiritual pressure violently erupted from Yoruichi's back and shoulders, turning into tangible golden arcs of electricity that leaped wildly around her.

Her black, form-fitting outfit was torn apart by this force, and the surrounding air seemed to groan under its strain. The powerful pressure caused the entire dojo to tremble, and the dust on the floor was stirred up by the invisible shockwave.

Seeing this exaggerated scene, Yu Zi subconsciously asked, "Aren't you worried about getting scolded for being so amazing?"

Yoruichi's newly condensed aura nearly crumbled, and she cursed, "Do you think there's no way to shield spiritual pressure from leaking out of the dojo?"

"If you hadn't ripped the roof apart, you wouldn't have been caught by old man Yamamoto."

Yu Zi broke out in a cold sweat: "Is that so?"

I am so sorry.

As Yushiro stood at the door, he felt his heart tighten and he had difficulty breathing. It was the pressure from the difference in spiritual pressure levels.

Yushiro looked at Yuko and found that she remained calm.

In Yushiro's perception, his sister's aura had completely changed; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she had truly entered a battle state.

"I call this ability Shunpo," Yoruichi said, her body trembling as she introduced the crackling, golden spiritual pressure that resembled lightning. "It's an ability I developed by combining Shunpo and Kido. Not only does it explosively enhance my speed and reaction time, but every hand-to-hand attack also carries the immense destructive power of Kido."

"In this form, Yuuko, I advise you to draw your Zanpakuto, or I'll turn your head into a pig's head," Yoruichi said arrogantly, clenching her fist.

With a smile on her face and without any arrogance, Yuko casually tossed the wooden sword back into the sword rack and drew her Zanpakuto from her waist: "Then let's give it a try."

After exchanging a smile, the two fell silent instantly, their arrogance and smiles returning to calm.

After a while.

Yoruichi's figure disappeared from sight, and at the same time, Yuuko's pupils contracted slightly.

In this state, Yoruichi's speed was further enhanced.

boom!

Yoruichi appeared in front of Yuuko with a fist carrying immense spiritual pressure, and threw a punch straight at Yuuko's face, just as she had said earlier, that she would beat Yuuko black and blue.

however……

Yu Zi finally realized what was happening. After more than a month of spiritual tempering, Yu Zi's body was no longer the same as when she first arrived.

Without moving an inch, Yuko placed her sword right in front of Yoruichi's face, precisely blocking the punch. In fact, she deliberately used the blade rather than the side of the sword to avoid hurting Yoruichi.

If it were Yuuko a month ago, even if she could use the Transparent World to anticipate Yoruichi's thoughts, her body wouldn't be able to react in time.

This action made Yoruichi snort; she really was being looked down upon.

Yoruichi's technique, known as "Instant Harshness," was indeed extraordinary. Yuuko did not find it easy to block it. The extremely strong destructive force made her palms numb, and she also suffered some internal injuries. However, this level of injury was nothing compared to her regenerative abilities.

Yoruichi did not retreat immediately after the first strike. Instead, she twisted her body and delivered a whip kick, imbued with spiritual pressure, towards Ikuko's waist.

Yuko raised her hand to parry, but suddenly changed her movement midway. The Zanpakuto that should have been in front of her waist was now raised to protect her head.

Almost simultaneously, Yoruichi's movements changed; her whip kick moved upwards, aiming for Ikuko's face.

"Tsk." Before the attack even arrived, Yoruichi clicked her tongue in annoyance, because Ikuko had seen through her feint.

After blocking the whip kick, Yuko used the force to quickly create distance. Seeing Yoruichi's frustration, she smiled and said, "Even if you change your moves, the flow of blood and the movement of muscles in your body cannot be altered."

Shunpo is a movement ability based on the Shinigami's control over spiritual particles and their own physical abilities, but it is still movement, not instantaneous disappearance.

By observing the flow of blood and muscle movements, one can easily see through so-called changes in tactics.

Unless there is an absolute difference in speed or strength between the two sides, it will be difficult to suppress Yuko.

However, Yoruichi did not show any signs of frustration; instead, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Yuko wasn't surprised. With her current abilities, she shouldn't be able to block Yoruichi's attack so easily, especially in this state.

She could see the materialized spiritual pressure emanating from Yoruichi; she wasn't serious yet.

swoosh~

Yoruichi moved again, her speed and strength both increasing once more, and she arrived behind Ikuko almost instantly.

As Yuko turned around rapidly, her Zanpakuto was already positioned behind her back.

However, Yoruichi's speed when she gets serious is incomparable to before. Even with Yuuko's current control over spiritual pressure, she lost sight of him for a moment.

Yuuko's Zanpakuto was only halfway up when Yoruichi's fist was about to touch Yuuko's body. But just as she was about to strike Yuuko, her fist suddenly changed its move, and she instead used her arm to grab Yuuko's neck.

Yuko was caught off guard and was slammed hard to the ground.

A pain shot through her arm. In mid-air, Yuuko saw Yoruichi's radiant smile and returned it with a faint smile. Then, to Yoruichi's astonishment, her body was suddenly dragged into the prism beneath her.

Yoru felt his hand go empty, and Yuko was already standing not far away with a calm expression, gently stroking her neck as if she was in some pain.

Yoruichi scratched her head in frustration: "Your ability is far too cunning."

Yuko smiled and said, "Indeed, you'll have more restraint when it comes to Yoruichi."

Based on Yuko's understanding of the Grim Reapers today, abilities related to Kido and Rule of Law might be more troublesome for her.

The ability of Yoruichi and Retsu Unohana to fight using physical techniques is ultimately countered by the Transparent World and her Zanpakuto abilities.

It can be said that the Transparent World is a nightmare for martial arts masters, and this place is no exception.

Yoruichi scratched her head again: "What a disgusting ability."

That feeling of being completely seen through is really unbearable.

Yuko asked, "Is this the end?"

“No, continue.” Yoruichi shook her head. “Let me see how far you’ve come.”

"I don't think I'll disappoint you."

"Humph."

Yoruichi snorted coldly and activated Shunho again. Accompanied by a violent, thunderous sound, Yoruichi did not deliberately flank Yuuko this time. Instead, she used the terrifying attack power unleashed by Shunho to attack Yuuko directly from the front.

The powerful spiritual pressure tore apart the floor along the way, and Yushiro felt immense pressure, his legs almost giving way.

Yuko didn't dodge. Instead, she put down her Zanpakuto in her right hand, raised her left hand, stared at Yoruichi's enhanced state, and threw a punch.

Yoruichi narrowed her eyes slightly, but did not stop.

The two fists collided, and Yuko's fist was torn apart before she could even resist for a moment. Her entire arm was shredded by the fist, which was wrapped in the pressure of lightning.

Yushiro's mouth dropped open. "W-how..."

It was just training, so why did it turn out like this?

He instinctively took half a step forward, wanting to stop the training session.

"Are you an idiot? You actually want to fight me head-on." Yoruichi slowly took two steps back, shaking the blood off her hands.

"I just wanted to see how destructive this state was."

Yuko smiled slightly, and under Yushiro's shocked gaze, Yuko's destroyed left arm slowly regenerated, with flesh, blood vessels, and bones regenerating at an unimaginable speed.

Yushiro's mouth was slightly open, his steps stiffened and he could no longer speak.

Both Yuuko and Yoruichi noticed this, but did not immediately offer an explanation.

"continue?"

"Continue." Yoruichi smiled slightly. "Now I think I understand why that woman Unohana likes you so much."

"A punching bag that can fully unleash one's fighting power and is also indestructible is indeed quite good."

Unless they are fighting a powerful Hollow, the captains generally cannot use their full strength.

Yu Zi was both amused and exasperated: "So this is my status here?"
