Chapter 284 - A Reunion After a Long Separation
Become Emperor?
A peculiar expression settled upon Fan Li’s face. He didn’t answer Qing Qiu immediately. He waited instead for the system to react. But the Traitor System remained silent.
Fan Li had expected at least a selection mission. Perhaps “Accept Yao Guang’s offer, seize the Chu artifact, reward: XXX,” or “Reject Yao Guang's offer, remain a loyal subject, reward: XXX.”
But there was nothi...

Chapter 115 - Dog and Cat
Several days had passed since they departed from Hachinosu. Their ship sailed towards Zou without incident. They anchored at night and posted lookouts. They had several navigators, but they avoided sailing at night whenever possible. Navigating the treacherous New World seas under the light of the moon and stars was a risky endeavor, even for experienced sailors. Unless a storm was approaching, they generally remained stationary.
Hiyori stood...

Of the invaders hurtling towards the Seireitei, Ichigo Kurosaki, Ganju Shiba, Uryu Ishida, and Orihime Inoue drew the most attention as their fiery descent became readily apparent to those below.
Yoruichi Shihōin, however, remained unscathed by the explosion's force. She used the chaos as cover, expertly maneuvering her way through the Seireitei, and vanishing from sight as she skillfully navigated the rooftops.

Xiang Ning sat in her chambers, dressed in men’s clothing, and with her eyebrows painted to resemble a man’s.
“Sigh…”
She let out a long, mournful sigh.
Ever since the influx of women into the Brahma Sound Pure Land, her secret had become increasingly difficult to conceal. She had no choice but to wear men’s clothing once more.
Although she knew that the Pure Land’s schem...

She had killed her mother and set sail. She devoured every skill, every bit of knowledge, every ounce of power her clan possessed, and as she wandered, she encountered a seemingly bored man on a certain island.
After several deadly duels, they decided to travel together. In time, they had a child. She entrusted the child to the man's father and continued her journey with him across the seas.

Chapter 283 - Invading the Seireitei
“Well, well, Head-Captain Yamamoto, I’m just as surprised as you are.”
Gin Ichimaru narrowed his eyes to slits then responded to Yamamoto’s questioning in a leisurely tone.
“You see, I even released my Zanpakutō to deal with those Ryoka, but they were far too cunning. The moment we clashed, they retreated from the White Road Gate. Then, the Seireitei’s barrier descended and sealed the gate, and they escaped.”

The festivities had been delayed considerably, however, as Kaido had collapsed immediately after the battle and spent a week bedridden.

Under the “Limiting Seal,” captains and lieutenants entering the World of the Living had eighty percent of their spiritual pressure sealed. In other words, until the seal was lifted, Renji Abarai could only utilize less than a fifth of his true strength.
This placed him on roughly the same level as Ichigo Kurosaki.
In fact, Ichigo's swordsmanship was no less than Renji's. After his battle with Ikkaku Madarame, Ichigo’s comba...
