Zaraki Kenpachi seemed to know that he was a bit of a roadie, so he didn't refuse.
The two of them walked together towards the Zhenyang Underground Prison.
Kusaka Yachiru stood at the gate of the 11th Division, looking at the two figures with a smile on his face.
If this continues, maybe she can really go back to where she should be.
At this time, Madarame Ikkaku asked Yumichika, "Yumichika, you said that last time they fought for a month, how long will it take them this time?"
"The last battle obviously ended after the captain lost his strength. The captain seemed to have become a lot stronger after that, so this time it should last longer." Yumichika said after thinking for a while.
"That's what I thought." Madarame looked at the Shinigami around him and said with a fierce look, "What are you still looking at here? Don't hurry up and complete the mission. We must be prepared to not have the support of the captain this month!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, the surrounding Death Gods also responded loudly.
As for the outcome of this battle, they did not say anything, because it was self-evident that their captain had not won a single battle with Vice Captain Xia Li.
This was completely impossible before.
In the past, Team 11's view of their captain was that except for the captain, no one else in the Gotei 13 Team could be their captain's opponent. There were even many team members who still believed that Kenpachi Zaraki could defeat them. Defeated Captain Yamamoto.
It wasn't until Kenpachi Zaraki lost to Xia Li in a head-on battle that this blind belief finally stopped.
And this time, it was just as they thought. Half a month later, they still didn't see Xia Li and Zaraki Kenpachi return.
"Hey Renji, do you want to bet on when the captain will come back?" Madarame said while holding his sword at an angle.
"No." Renji refused directly.
"Boring, the captain has been holding on for longer and longer, maybe he can defeat Xia Li in the future." Madarame Ikkaku said, he still has great trust in his captain.
Zaraki Kenpachi will never accept defeat and will definitely work hard to become stronger and defeat Xia Li.
Just like this time, Zaraki Kenpachi has obviously become stronger.
"Maybe... you don't know how deep Xia Li's strength is hidden. You may see hope of victory this time, but then you will fall into despair again..." Renji thought about himself and Xia Li's contact said so.
"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Madarame Ikkaku does not doubt Renji's words, but Xia Li's revealed strength is already strong enough, is he still hiding his strength like this?
"Who knows, anyway, this is how I feel about him. Every time I think his strength ends here, my understanding will be refreshed again."
Renji was also a little helpless. He first became the vice-captain and then defeated the strongest captain. Who can withstand this?
Back then, Renji still had the goal of defeating Xia Li. Now it seems that he should first think about how to become the vice-captain, and then think about how to defeat the captain of the sixth division, Kuchiki Byakuya, and then set the goal of defeating Xia Li. Good gravel.
However, Renji felt a little desperate when he thought about his current strength and the fact that he still hadn't mastered the swastika yet...
Without Xia Li as a comparison, among the students of this class, Renji's strength would still be at the top.
Unfortunately, with Xia Li as a comparison, Renji felt that his strength was completely insufficient.
Xia Li is so powerful that Renji doesn’t think Xia Li has mastered the swastika...
"Why is the gap between people so big..." Renji lamented.
Madarame heard Renji's lament and knew that Renji and Xia Li were from the same class, so he couldn't help but comfort him, "I think you'd better not regard Xia Li as being from the same class as you. From ancient times to the present, there has been no such thing." Such a perverted guy, if you keep staring at Xia Li, it will only hurt your confidence.”
"I understand too, but...he was not just with me, he lived next to me before, so I can't ignore him at all." Renji smiled bitterly.
Madarame Ikkaku suddenly patted Renji on the shoulder with some pity.
Originally, he felt that Renji was a bit similar to him, because Madarame's goal was to defeat Zaraki Kenpachi...
However, it now seems that it is obviously more difficult for Renji to defeat Xia Li.
However, Madarame Ikkaku also knows that given Renji's character, he will not lose confidence because of this, which is why Madarame Ikkaku is optimistic about Renji.
"Come on," Madarame Ikkaku said.
"Well, then Ikkaku, come with me to the training ground and teach me how to understand swastika!" Renji stared at Madarame Ikkaku.
Suddenly, Madarame Ikkaku was stunned. Renji was waiting for him here. At this moment, Madarame Ikkaku was a little helpless. He knew that he should not have exposed his swastika in the first place. After Yumichika found out, he told Renji. , but...
Renji is also very difficult to deal with alone.
Thinking of this, he had been comforting Renji before, but it was hard to refuse now.
"Okay, remember to find a place where there is no one." Madarame Ikkaku did not refuse in the end.
"Understood!" Renji showed a happy expression.
In fact, Madarame Ikkaku also told him the reason why he didn't want to expose his swastika in front of others.
Because once the swastika is exposed, Madarame will probably be forced to be selected as the vice-captain or captain of another division.
Madarame joined the Gotei 13 just to follow Zaraki Kenpachi and fight Zaraki Kenpachi.
Therefore, Madarame Ikkaku cannot accept being transferred to another division, and naturally he does not want to reveal that he has mastered the swastika.
Unless it is a one-on-one situation with the enemy and no one else is around, Madarame Ikkaku will use the swastika, and after using the swastika, he will definitely choose to kill the enemy with all his strength to prevent the other party from exposing him to his companions. Things that can be understood.
Therefore, Renji had already prepared a place to ask Madarame Ikkaku for advice. After his inspection, no one would go there.
However, when Renji and Madarame returned from training, they discovered...
"The captain and deputy captain Xia Li haven't come back yet?!" Madarame looked at Yumichika in surprise.
"Not yet." Yumichika confirmed.
"It's really not over yet..." Madarame Ikkaku and Renji looked at each other. They also spent several days practicing this time.
This also means that the battle between Zaraki Kenpachi and Xia Li has lasted for more than 20 days. Knowing that they were fighting rather than practicing, could they last for so long?
"These two monsters..."
If it were someone else, even if we let them fight, they wouldn't be able to last for so many days, right?
Based on Madarame's understanding of Zaraki Kenpachi, it is obvious that their battle cannot have an intermission, and must be from the opening battle to the last moment.
This is very scary. "Maybe this time the captain will be able to win the final victory." Madarame Ikkaku said.
Renji didn't deny it at this time, obviously he was also shocked.
After several people looked at each other, they didn't say anything more and continued to wait for a day or two.
During this period of time, they often wandered around the gate of the 11th Division, hoping to discover Zaraki Kenpachi and Xia Li as soon as possible when they returned.
Then, the next day, they saw Xia Li returning again dragging their captain.
"We still lost." Madarame and the three of them sighed at the same time.
But this time, when Xia Li came closer, they saw that Xia Li had many more wounds than last time, and there were also many more holes in Xia Li's death armor.
Of course, Zaraki Kenpachi was still in a worse situation. The Death Domination uniform all over his body had turned into strips of cloth, and there was not a single intact spot.
"Why are you in front of the gate?" Xia Li asked in surprise when he saw these people waiting at the gate of Squadron 11.
"Are you worried about your captain?" Xia Li said and handed Zaraki Kenpachi to Madarame Ikkaku.
"That's not true, I just figured that your battle should be over soon, so I'm just waiting here." Madarame answered as he took Kenpachi Zaraki, who was like a puddle of mud.
"That's it. You can take Zaraki Kenpachi to rest. I'll go back first." Xia Li stretched at this time and said with a smile, as if he didn't care about his injuries.
"Xia Li, do you want to recover from your injury in the 11th Division first?" Renji asked at this time.
"No need, it won't take a day to fully recover from this injury." Xia Li also looked at the wounds on her body. Although there were many, they were basically shallow and they recovered quickly.
"That's it, okay then." Renji nodded, feeling shocked at Xia Li's resilience.
If it were him with such an injury, he would probably have collapsed, right?
It is estimated that it will take several months to fully recover, but the other party only needs one day... This kind of body is no different from their monster captain, right?
Renji looked at Zaraki Kenpachi over there at this time. His injuries were more serious, but Zaraki Kenpachi's injuries were similar last time, but he was alive and kicking after a few days.
They are really two monsters. Only these two guys can fight without stopping for so long, right?
"Xia Li!" At this time, Kusuka Yachiru suddenly appeared out of nowhere, then jumped on Renji's shoulder and waved to Xia Li.
"Huh?" Xia Li looked at Caolu Baqianliu and frowned. He didn't notice how Caolu Baqianliu appeared.
At this time, Kusuka Yaqianliu smiled at Xia Li and said, "Thank you for helping Ajian."
Immediately, as soon as Kusuka Yachiru said these words, Madarame Ikkaku and the other three people showed doubtful expressions. Is Xia Li helping Zaraki Kenpachi?
Aren't the two of them satisfying each other's desire to fight?
In their understanding, this should be regarded as mutual help. Why would Kusuka Yachiru say that Xia Li was unilaterally helping Zaraki Kenpachi?
Xia Li, on the other hand, took a deep look at Kusuka Yachiru. With his petite body and innocent face, why could he have such a good relationship with Zaraki Kenpachi? And he can also become the vice-captain of the 11th Division?
In addition, the name Yaqianliu may not have been randomly chosen by the other party.
"You're welcome." Xia Li replied.
After that, Xia Li left, and he also had a guess about the identity of Kusuka Yaqianliu.
Especially after meeting Stark, Stark's 'Zanpakutō' can be materialized, and Kusuka Yachi-ryu's behavior is indeed strange...
However, Xia Li didn't pay too much attention. He looked at his somewhat embarrassed figure and showed a slightly satisfied smile.
Xia Li was very satisfied with the results of this battle.
It took longer than last time, also because Zaraki Kenpachi had become much stronger and he was hit by Xia Li less often, so he didn't need to expend so much energy to recover from his injuries.
This means that Zaraki Kenpachi's change of direction has increased his endurance.
Looking at the injuries on Xia Li's body, one can understand that it is not too easy for Xia Li to defeat Zaraki Kenpachi this time. Of course, it is not too difficult either...
If Zaraki Kenpachi wants to defeat Xia Li, he still needs to work harder.
Moreover, this result does not mean that Xia Li's progress is slower than Zaraki Kenpachi's, because their progress cannot be compared.
After Xia Li restricted many of his abilities, he left the most primitive way to fight Zaraki Kenpachi, which was a disadvantage in itself.
Of course, this was Xia Li's own choice, and after doing so, he made great progress.
Then Xia Li was injured like this, much more serious than last time. Does this prove that Zaraki Kenpachi has made more progress?
People who don't understand Zaraki Kenpachi's situation may think so, and they may also think that Zaraki Kenpachi can defeat Xia Li after a few more attempts.
But this is not actually the case. Kenpachi Zaraki is not so much making progress as he is restoring his original strength.
This is the power Zaraki Kenpachi should have.
As for Xia Li's progress, the upper limit has been raised, and it is normal to not be able to compare with Zaraki Kenpachi's recovery speed.
If it can be compared, then Zaraki Kenpachi is not worth Xia Li's expectations.
By the end of this fight, Zaraki Kenpachi's whole body was turning blood red, and his posture became more like an evil ghost, and even a pair of horns seemed to grow out of his head...
"I hope your upper limit is more than this." Xia Li murmured.
By the end of this battle, Zaraki Kenpachi's power improvement had slowed down.
Xia Li obviously did not reach the limit, so he hoped that Kenpachi Zaraki would have a higher upper limit, so that Kenpachi Zaraki could better serve as his sparring partner.
However, at this rate, maybe Zaraki Kenpachi will be able to fully recover his strength next time, right?
At that time, all we need to do is arrange a battle between Zaraki Kenpachi and Unohana, if Zaraki Kenpachi can successfully defeat Unohana.
Then the knot in Mao Zhihua's heart that has lasted for thousands of years can be solved.
Then, the idea of sacrificing his own life to allow Kenpachi Zaraki to recover was naturally no longer necessary.
"It should be soon."
Xia Li was in a good mood at the moment and walked towards her yard.
He needs to sort out the gains from these twenty days of continuous high-intensity battles! (End of chapter)
