After being trained by Numasekha for a few years, none of them lacked loyalty.
Seeing such a strong bond, Nelly, who had been an observer all along, was deeply moved, and her resentment towards Aizen's submission suddenly dissipated.
Perhaps, following him wouldn't be bad.
Stealing a glance at Aizen, Nelliel's resistance to her helpless submission gradually dissipated.
At this moment, Okada Izo, having regained his senses, also curled his lip and stood up decisively, taking full responsibility for the situation: "Hey, hey, hey! What are you all arguing about? This whole thing started because I accepted the provocation. That guy isn't dead, so I'll take full responsibility for any punishment."
"To be hidden!"
Numasekara frowned, about to stop him, but Aizen smiled and said casually, "What's the rush? What's the point of sparring? I agree. Whether your competition is one person or two is none of my business. Even if ten people gang up on one person, I don't care."
As long as it doesn't endanger lives, even the most extreme measures don't violate my rules.
"In a single sentence, Aizen summed up the whole situation."
The duel was something they themselves said; it has absolutely nothing to do with Aizen.
Since no rules were violated, Numasekha's actions were not considered wrong, and Neutra's attack on Okada Izo was also overlooked.
"Thank you so much!"
Okada Izo grinned.
"What an appalling attitude."
Kiyohime, gently waving her folding fan, was very unhappy with Okada Izo's attitude.
Compared to Okada Izo's unconventional manners, Prince Numasekha was much more elegant.
They didn't take Nnoitra's sneak attack to heart, which was Okada Izo's own oversight, so they naturally didn't hate or blame Nnoitra.
Over the years, he has faced all sorts of opponents, big and small, including magicians, superhumans, and ninjas. There have been many instances where he survived and was able to fight back.
Logically speaking, Okada Izo should have been used to it by now.
Normally, he finishes off his opponents with a quick, decisive strike, but against Nnoitra, "one of his own," things took a different turn.
They stopped after inflicting heavy damage on their opponent, which led to the subsequent situation.
However, they didn't have much affection for Neutra either.
After all, this wasn't a life-or-death battle; launching a sneak attack from behind after an obvious defeat is really going too far.
"Bring Neutra out here!"
"Hi!"
Before they could react, the two lowly soldiers approached and noticed that the seemingly lifeless, blood-soaked figure had begun to tremble slightly, startling them so much that they stopped in their tracks.
The vibrations grew larger and larger over time, lasting one second, then two seconds.
"Ah, ahhh!!!"
It roared in resentment, its unstable spiritual pressure affecting the surrounding space.
Unrecognizable as human, Neutra stood up, trembling as he pushed himself up under the astonished gazes of the crowd. His voice, still arrogant, boomed: "The battle isn't over yet! I told you long ago, if one isn't enough, bring one together! Come on, let's keep fighting!"
Upon seeing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.
If most Hollows previously had a very poor perception of Nnoitra, now they are utterly awestruck by Nnoitra's willpower.
"What incredible perseverance! Could I do what he did?"
Even Deslo, who had always envied and resented Neutra, had a change in his expression, his eyes filled with astonishment and doubt.
Regardless of Neutra's personality, temperament, or character, his composure at this moment was enough to make countless people feel ashamed of their own.
The "King's Flash" that had been brewing in the previous battle.
This already indirectly proved his strength, and now Nnoitra's demeanor makes it even clearer that there's a reason why Aizen-sama values him.
At the same time, everyone felt an invisible pressure.
Because this is the subordinate that Aizen truly approves of.
So far, very few people present have been explicitly treated differently by Aizen.
Nellyel, Kiyohime, Numasekara, Okada Izou, Lori, and Nnoitra! Among the remaining five, apart from Lori being the weakest due to special circumstances, Nnoitra is probably the weakest.
Others, whether it was the third leader Ganteng Baien, who was recognized by many top-tier fighters, or seeded fighters like Ludben and Tirudy, or even another close attendant, Menori, were not considered people Aizen recognized by him.
"That's enough, if we keep fighting, something bad will happen."
"Baifu."
Aizen, who appeared beside Nnoitra, wore a gentle smile.
Chapter 143 The Proposal and Temptation of the "Espada" 9/12
"You should be aware of your weaknesses after this battle, right?"
Looking at the "mummy" wrapped in bandages...
Aizen said meaningfully.
This mummy was none other than Neutra, who had recently been taught a lesson by Okada Izo and Numasekha.
Only half an hour after he was forcibly put to sleep by Aizen, he regained his basic mobility.
"Ah, I understand."
Neutra said in a low, muffled voice.
As he said this, Neutra glanced in the direction of Okada Izo not far away, his eyes still carrying a sinister glint.
Okada Izo, who was being stared at, raised an eyebrow and revealed a provocative smile, saying, "What, you're not convinced? If you still want to fight, you can continue. This time, I won't hold back."
"Hmph, I'll kill you with my own hands sooner or later!"
With a cold snort, Neutra did not deny Okada Izo's words.
He may resort to any means to launch a sneak attack on his opponent, but he will never deny the existing facts.
Okada used "100"
The sword technique that ultimately ended his life.
It was an ultra-high-speed slash, instantly leaving dozens of attack streaks on his body.
Although Okada Izo's slashes could only cause superficial wounds due to his relatively weak strength and the hardness of his steel skin, his final Noble Phantasm sword technique...
The next method is to defeat the opponent through the pain generated by the burst of dense injuries.
In reality, if it were someone else, they might have collapsed immediately.
A single superficial wound is nothing, but the pain from dozens or even hundreds of superficial wounds piled up together is enough to drive someone crazy.
Moreover, even if superficial bleeding isn't serious, a large number of minor injuries can lead to a staggering amount of blood loss.
However, if Okada Izou possesses such swordsmanship, he could easily improve his accuracy, reduce his attack frequency, and swiftly deliver a dozen or so strikes in one spot, thus truly inflicting a severe blow on Nnoitra.
Therefore, it's no exaggeration to say that he showed mercy.
Because these injuries are all accumulated from superficial wounds, they look frightening, but for Neutra, who has super-fast regeneration, recovery is actually very fast.
He's still a bit weak, completely taken advantage of by Numaseka's Cero.
“In fact, in terms of basic conditions, Neutra, you are far superior to Izang.”
Hone your combat skills!
After summarizing briefly, Aizen turned his attention to the other five-year-old spirit masters, each with their own distinct emotions: "In terms of spiritual pressure, there are several here who are no less powerful than Nnoitra, but none of them can fight to such an extent against Izou."
Besides increasing spiritual pressure, improving combat skills at other times can also enhance one's strength.
Leaving aside steel plates, spinning tops, and holographic flashes, since we have weapons, let's think about how to maximize their advantages.
After saying that, Aizen announced it with a slightly mysterious smile in front of many of the five-year-olds whose names he didn't even know.
"Work hard! In the future, I will assign numbers to those who break through to the top five based on their abilities. Those who are selected for the top five will have a status and rights second only to me!"
"For now, we'll tentatively name them the Ten Espada!"
An uproar ensued.
In an instant, the expressions on the faces of those who had broken through the five barriers, including Neutra, changed.
Even the usually composed Ludben and the cute-looking but always haughty Tiruti were breathing heavily at this moment.
They were well aware that they had not yet been formally recognized by Aizen.
Those recognized by Aizen are not necessarily Espada, but this "Espada"
They were definitely subordinates recognized by Aizen! The number indicates their rank within Aizen's ranks.
This visible status and glory ignited a burning desire within them, even Numasekha's smile revealed a sharp and imposing aura.
"So,
"I'll try to take that position too."
"Stop joking! I'm the one who should be the strongest weapon for adults."
Only I can do it!
Nnoitra immediately and roughly applied the bandage to the tip of his ear, unleashing his spiritual pressure with a wicked grin.
The two were so open about "pre-booking"
This immediately sparked a competitive spirit.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Tiruti, Ludben, and Ganttenbain all released their spiritual pressure, and in an instant, the spiritual pressure of the five of them, whether strong or weak, directly crushed the burning thoughts of the crowd.
Looking at these big shots, the lower-ranking members exchanged bewildered glances, speechless.
The gap is too big.
Even among the many who had broken through to the fifth level, Gang Teng Baien, whom they greatly admired, was somewhat at the bottom. How much more so for these weaker broken through to the fifth level?
"It's not the fifth day of the Lunar New Year," Okada Izo said with a pout, feeling helpless. "I feel like I'm being treated differently, which is really annoying."
But despite his words, Okada Izo knew the truth in his heart.
Unlike those who break through to the fifth level, the increase in strength of him and Kiyohime, these Heroic Spirits, still depends on Aizen's ideas.
Don't be fooled by his ability to comprehend the way of the sword; that's all he can do at most. No matter how strong his swordsmanship becomes, it won't bring about a qualitative change.
If the gap between ability and physical condition is too large, the body will not be able to keep up with the display of ability. Not to mention that due to the limitations of physical condition, the improvement of swordsmanship will also be limited. When a certain level is reached, no new breakthroughs will be possible because the body cannot keep up.
Therefore, these heroic spirits cannot be assigned any number.
If Aizen admires a Heroic Spirit and wants him to become one...
So all he needs to do is give all the strengthening opportunities to that… Heroic Spirit, and then he will be…
"What's the point of competition like this?" "However, these guys are still too green."
Okada Izo glanced disdainfully at Tiruti and the others, then sipped his drink and muttered to himself.
The next second, Numaseka truly unleashed his spiritual pressure.
Boom! Tiruti, Ludben, and the others turned pale and staggered back several steps, including the injured Nnoitra.
"Wa, Wastow"
"This guy was hiding it so well!"
"Is this Lord Seka's true power?"
"Damn it, another Vastoad!"
Upon seeing this, Prince Numasekha revealed a wicked smile.
It was indeed Vasto Lorde! Only Okada Izo knew this before, but judging from Aizen's unchanging expression, he knew that his little scheme could not escape Aizen's discerning eyes.
Numasek's strength: Talent: Abilities: Top-tier gun skills+, military strategy, phantom bullets, Cero, King's Flash+, Resonance, Super Regeneration. Numasek's rating remains unchanged, but he has actually been upgraded from Adjuchas to Vastod.
Because he belongs to the category of "naturally breaking through the five-year barrier, and becoming versatile" without any bottlenecks.
Perhaps due to his talent, his breakthrough did not result in a dramatic increase in spiritual pressure, as it would have been when his spiritual pressure jumped from 100 to 150.
It's simply a gradual increase, naturally transforming from 100 to 101, and then from 101 to 102, based on the process of absorption.
So he currently belongs to the very few Vastodes who have just crossed the threshold.
His abilities remain almost unchanged, and his marksmanship is not zero.
