After Lilinite appeared, Xia Li also discovered that Stark's spiritual pressure was indeed much weaker.
But it still exceeds the average captain-level spiritual pressure, and there are still not many Hollows who can get close to Stark.
Therefore, Stark's idea of weakening himself in order to be able to approach more companions is doomed to fail.
Xia Li looked at Stark and Lilinette who appeared and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xia Li has always been pursuing how to become stronger, but Stark in front of him may be thinking about how to weaken himself.
The appearance of Lilinite was of little help to Stark, and it also gave Stark an additional fatal weakness.
Although the souls of Lilynite and Stark split into two individuals, they are actually still one person, so when Lilynite dies, Stark cannot escape death, and vice versa.
Generally speaking, no one would be willing to do this. Being unable to become stronger also adds another weakness, so only fools do this.
But considering Stark's purpose of wanting companions and his extremely lonely soul, perhaps he can understand Stark's approach.
Perhaps, even among the Ten Blades, Stark is the kind of person who only returns to his original level after returning to the sword without becoming stronger.
But even so, Aizen is still designated as a first-blade guy. Maybe Stark can't compare to the guy who has a second-level return blade, but he is definitely powerful enough.
But if Stark had found a companion from the beginning, and then broken through the surface in the most reasonable way to form a virtual Zanpakutō, then Stark's strength would probably be even higher.
But now it's obviously too late.
"It's a pity..." Xia Li shook her head, but she didn't say much about Stark's choice, as long as the other party was willing.
At this time, Lilinite was staring at Xia Li with interest, licked her lips and said, "You smell so good~"
Suddenly, Stark's face stiffened, seeming a little helpless.
Xia Li also glanced at Lilinite. If a human or a god of death said this to him, he might have some thoughts about him.
But when Lilynite said this, she meant it literally.
The essence of Arrancar is still Hollow, and Hollow's pursuit of spiritual power is instinctive, so Xia Li, who possesses such a level of spiritual power, naturally attracts these Hollows.
In fact, Stark also feels this way, but his desire for his companions is far greater than this attraction.
"I'm sorry, Lilynite was a little bit arrogant." Stark reluctantly apologized on Lilynite's behalf.
"It's okay, she can't do it anyway." Xia Li said indifferently.
Even the strength of Stark and Lilynite combined into one was not noticed by Xia Li, let alone Lilynite alone.
Xia Li could see that after separation, most of the power was actually still in Stark, and the spiritual pressure on Lilynite was not as good as that of the ordinary Daxu.
Lilynite seemed a little angry when she heard this, but she didn't say anything in the end. She also noticed Xia Li's power when she was with Stark.
Lilynite glanced at Stark and asked, "Why did you ask me to come out? It's completely unnecessary. Now that we have a companion, we can talk to each other much better than when we are essentially alone."< br>
With that said, Lilinite turned into a pair of guns again and returned to Stark, seemingly not giving Stark any face.
Stark scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at Xia Li.
"It's nothing, I've seen it, and what she said is right. Essentially, you are just one person. You... probably can't really play the role of companions." Xia Li also thought at this time own.
Xia Li also has another soul outside, but he is a little different from Stark, that is, Xia Li only has one consciousness, while Stark has obviously evolved a second consciousness in order to overcome loneliness.
"Actually, I understand, but even so, it's much better than me being alone in this place where I can never reach the end and can't find my companions." Stark said with a wry smile.
Xia Li nodded, everyone has their own difficulties.
Stark suddenly thought of something at this time and asked, "The soul in my twin spears was split from myself, so where did the soul in your Zanpakutō come from?"
Xia Li was suddenly stunned and looked at his own mirror, Zhishui.
Stark's words seemed to directly ring a bell in Xia Li's heart.
Yes, why haven't you discovered such an obvious thing?
Xia Li looked at Ming Jing Zhishui. He seemed to be dark under the lamp.
Because I was too familiar with Ming Jing Zhishui, I didn't notice this most obvious problem.
The woman in palace clothes in Mingjing Zhishui has her own separate consciousness and is naturally an independent soul.
When Xia Li first came into contact with the Zanpakutō's original form, the shallow attack, he had actually noticed the soul without self-awareness from the shallow attack.
It's just that Xia Li had just come to this world not long ago, and he didn't know much about the rules of this world.
In addition, his vague memory of the Zanpakutō was that it had its own soul, so he didn't care.
If we dig deeper now, the origin of this soul will be very strange.
Souls are not born out of thin air, so whose is this unconscious soul? Human? grim Reaper? Or virtual?
At this moment, Xia Li also understood what he meant by using his own spiritual power to cultivate his Zanpakutō before Qian Da had even begun to understand.
In fact, you use your own soul to cultivate the soul in the Zanpakutō. After all, spiritual power itself is a substance that constitutes the soul.
In this process of continuous cultivation, the soul inside the Zanpakutō absorbs enough of the soul of the sword master to form a consciousness similar to that of the master.
This is why Xia Li is obsessed with becoming stronger, and why Ming Jing Shisui, as the soul of the Zanpakutō, will be so persistent.
Of course, they are two different souls after all, so the soul of the Zanpakutō is only similar to its owner, but not exactly the same.
Then the process of the Zanpakuto's continuous tempering and becoming stronger is no different from that of Hollow.
Hollows improve their strength by devouring other Hollows or souls.
The Zanpakutō relies on its owner's continuous input of spiritual power to enhance the power of Hakkake and even Swastikaki.
Their essence is to become stronger by absorbing spiritual power...
Therefore, Xia Li once again confirmed that since Ming Jing Zhishui is a separate soul, she must be able to achieve virtualization.
Moreover, Ming Jing Zhishui still contains his own spiritual power in his body. When Ming Jing Zhishui successfully becomes insubstantial, it will inevitably lead to the incorporation of this part of Xia Li's spiritual power. Then Xia Li only needs to find a way to return this part of his spiritual power to himself, so that he can become one with Mingjing Zhishui...
And this also means the swastika of the Arrancar, or it can be called the return blade.
At this moment, after Stark's reminder and combined with Stark's example, Xia Li basically figured out all the joint points and figured out the next path to take.
Then the next question is how to make Shisui Mingjing complete the blur. Of course, there is already a plan for this, which is to stay at the Urahara store.
Use the broken jade sealed by Urahara Kisuke to transform bit by bit, or let Ming Jing Shisui fall into despair, and complete the transformation of the soul into the void in the most normal way.
When Xia Li was thinking like this, he clearly felt Ming Jing Zhishui's blade trembling, as if he was worried about something.
Xia Li couldn't help but chuckle, then stroked the blade and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you go this way."
Immediately, Ming Jing Zhishui felt at ease. What it knew about Xia Li, since Xia Li said so, it was definitely true.
Xia Li actually knew that it was not difficult to make Ming Jing Zhishui despair, as long as he abandoned the other party. Maybe Ming Jing Zhishui didn't believe it at first, but as time went by, it was enough.
But there is no point in doing so. The time will definitely be faster than relying on Urahara Kisuke's Bengyu transformation.
The problem is that Ming Jing Shisui, who was transformed by despair, will still have to merge into Gui Ren and Xia Li.
Xia Li didn't think it was a good choice to use a virtual person who hated him to return to the sword.
In addition to this, he couldn't imagine what kind of despair Ming Jing Zhishui would feel. After all, he himself was a person who was not afraid of anything, and Ming Jing Zhishui, who inherited part of his character, obviously did the same.
So since Ming Jing Zhishui has been willing to transform towards Xu, then he just needs to wait.
In fact, he also wanted to see what the Hollow without resentment looked like after being actively transformed by the Zanpakutō, and maybe he would give Xia Li a surprise.
Another question is how to return the blade.
Xia Li actually had a clue about this, but he could only wait until Ming Jing Zhishui completed the virtualization before conducting experiments.
Stark looked at Xia Li, who was lost in thought after he finished speaking, and did not disturb him, silently guarding him.
After a long time, Xia Li looked at Stark, smiled and said, "Thank you, it was a big help."
"Well, it'll be great if I can help." Stark also smiled and said a little lazily.
At this time, Stark was a little hesitant and didn't know how to speak.
"What's wrong?" Xia Li asked a little strangely.
"Have you found a way to go further?"
Xia Li thought for a while and nodded, then shook her head and said, "I just thought of a way. Whether it will work or not can only be verified when it is completed."
"Oh." Stark nodded, but he didn't actually care about this. What he cared about was another question, "Then are you leaving now?"
After Xia Li heard this question, she actually showed a hint of panic when she saw the handsome uncle in front of him.
After all, he finally found a companion who could get close to him. If he left, Stark really didn't know where to go next to find the next companion.
Xia Li found it a bit funny. It looked like a wolf, but turned out to be a wolfdog who was afraid of being alone?
It doesn’t seem right. I remember wolves are also social animals...
"Well, there is really no point in me staying here." Xia Li said, he had to rush back to the present world to go to Urahara Store.
"Really?" Stark was a little disappointed, but didn't say much.
"However, I will stay here for a while."
"Huh?"
Stark was confused.
Xia Li looked into the distance and said, "After all, you have helped me, so I plan to stay with you for a while and teach you how to control your own power. When you control your own power to a certain extent, you will probably be able to Get close to some ordinary Hollows, and then you will be able to find more companions.”
"Control your own power?" Stark was a little confused. His power was innate and indeed uncontrolled.
"Let's go, I'll teach you as I go, and in the process, I might be able to find your next companion."
Xia Li thought of the other blades in the Arrancar. They were basically Achiukas. If they were them, they should have the ability to get close to Stark and become his companion.
Since Aizen can find them, Xia Li doesn't think that he can't find them, but it will just take some time.
"Oh, okay." Stark nodded, then put his hands in his pockets and followed.
Stark actually didn't think he could meet other companions. After all, he had been looking for so long before he found Xia Li, a companion who could get close to him. How could he easily find the next one?
Along the way, Xia Li also had a few fights with Stark. Basically, Stark fell down before Xia Li used much strength.
This also made Xia Li understand Stark's problem. Not only did the opponent not know how to control his power, but his combat experience was also ridiculously poor.
And this is not difficult to understand. In the past, Hollows who were close to Stark were directly shattered to death by spiritual pressure. Therefore, Stark had no experience in serious combat and relied entirely on the power of spiritual pressure.
In this regard, Stark is completely inferior to Kenpachi Zaraki. At least Kenpachi Zaraki, while having strong spiritual pressure, also has monster-like instincts.
Even Zaraki Kenpachi had no fighting experience at the beginning, but he was able to exert enough power to defeat Unohana just by relying on his instincts.
Stark does not have this instinct, and his potential is actually not as good as Zaraki Kenpachi. Now that he has actively split his soul... he is even more incomparable.
Stark also finally knew how powerful Xia Li was. If the other party was really hostile, then whether he returned to the sword or not, the result would be the same. He wouldn't even be able to escape.
Xia Li's strength has exceeded Stark's imagination, and Stark can't imagine what Xia Li will look like after taking a step forward, which is obviously beyond Stark's understanding.
However, Stark still decided to control his own power quickly. The other party was obviously wasting his time to help him, and Stark actually felt that he did not help Xia Li too much.
So he can't cause trouble to his companions. This is Stark's cute and silly idea. (End of chapter)
