After Xia Yan settled in, he became a part of these teenagers, even though he was in another world, and it was also one of the most chaotic areas.
But Xia Yan felt warmth and hope, which was the result of everyone helping each other.
Among these people, Abarai Renji is the eldest brother. Although he looks like a delinquent, he is actually a very enthusiastic person and takes good care of his younger brothers and sisters.
Lucia also took on the responsibility of taking care of them. When it was time to go to bed at night, Xia Yan never fell asleep. In the middle of the night, Lucia who lived inside sneaked out and covered everyone with quilts.
Xia Yan felt the feeling of home, and the anxiety in his heart immediately disappeared, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
On the second day, Abarai Renji first taught Natsuhiko how to absorb the spirit seeds, which was to gather the spirit seeds and swallow them into his belly, so that the spirit seeds would automatically replenish his body.
The method was very simple, and Xia Yan quickly mastered it. He gathered the surrounding spirits together, swallowed them into his belly, and felt his body become more condensed.
After the others drank water to replenish their souls, Abarai Renji called everyone out of the house, gathered outside the house, and asked the boys and girls to exercise. Then he walked up to Natsuhiko and said, "I will teach you how to exercise the souls now." method."
With that said, Abarai Renji picked up a wooden stick and handed it to Natsuhiko and said, "Take it."
Natsuhiko took the stick and looked at Renji Abarai in confusion, wondering what the stick was for.
Abarai Renji waved the wooden sword in his hand and said: "We are not nobles, we have no auxiliary tools to help condense the spirit, and we are not technicians. We don't know the method of using the spirit. So the Shinigami passed down here told A simple way for us is to use kendo.”
"kendo?"
Natsuhiko looked at Renji Abarai in confusion.
"good."
Renji Abarai nodded and explained: "The so-called spiritual pressure is the density of spiritual particles in the soul. If we want to increase the spiritual pressure, we need to increase the density of spiritual particles. To increase the density, we need to increase the density of spiritual particles." The souls are constantly gathering and compressing. However, simply absorbing the souls has no effect. Instead, exercise can put a load on the body and damage the souls in the body, but absorbing the souls can replenish them and make the souls stronger. While exercising, you can absorb the spirit seeds, which can continuously condense the soul and increase the spiritual pressure. "
This method is like physical exercise. Continuous exercise loads the body and destroys muscle fibers. However, protein supplementation will form new muscles. In the process, the capacity will increase and the strength will be greatly enhanced.
Abarai Renji continued: "Most training can improve spiritual pressure, but the effect is weak and requires high-intensity exercise. Kendo requires the entire body to move together, and it also requires the unity of the mind and body. It can not only exercise the body, but also It can also increase responsiveness.”
At this time, Lucia, who was waving a wooden sword next to her, also said: "The god of death taught us a little trick. When practicing, we should cover the body of the sword with the spirit, but do not let the spirit leave the blade. This requires Extremely high control over the spirit. When your control reaches a certain level, you can do this by releasing the spirit."
When Lucia said this, she swung her bamboo sword suddenly, and a sword wind spurted out, leaving a shallow mark on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Natsuhiko thought of Ichigo Kurosaki. The Getsuga Tenchō released was the spiritual pressure absorbed by the knife and released through the tip of the knife.
However, his slashing attack is the ability of the Zanpakutō, which is released after being compressed by the Zanpakutō.
What Lucia did was just release the spirit attached to the sword, which was less powerful.
But Natsuhiko was already salivating. He looked at Renji Abarai and Rukia and said, "Brother Renji, please teach me."
Renji Abarai smiled and said, "Okay, I'll teach you the way of the sword."
Abarai Renji shook the wooden sword in his hand and said: "The first thing you need to learn in kendo is the grip, that is, the way to hold the sword. Holding the sword requires both hands. If you are right-handed, use the little finger and ring finger of your left hand first. Hold the hilt of the sword with three fingers of your middle finger, like this.
Abarai demonstrated, holding the lower part of the sword hilt with his left hand.
Xia Yan used a wooden stick as a long sword. After holding it, Abarai said: "Put the heel of your palm a little lower, under the hilt, so that you can press the long sword down."
After Xia Yan did it, Abarai said again: "At this time, use your right hand to hold the position below the tantrum and pinch it gently. The tantrum is actually the raised part of the sword handle. Although you use a wooden stick, there is no , but at almost this position, be sure not to exceed it, and don’t grasp it too hard.”
To put it simply, hold the front of the sword handle with your dominant hand, pinch the back half of the sword handle with the little finger, ring finger, middle finger and three fingers of the non-dominant hand, and at the same time use the palm of the non-dominant hand to press the sword handle, so that the long sword can be raised slightly naturally. Get up and point forward.
After Xia Yan tried it a few times, he got the action right. Abarai added: "I will teach you the starting position. Relax your shoulders, raise your chest and raise your head. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart, and your hands should be placed on your lower abdomen. One foot away from the lower abdomen, bend the arms slightly, but not too much.”
Xia Yan tried to do it, and Abarai helped him adjust his body shape. After he was done, he said: "You can keep training in this position today and keep it as long as possible. Tomorrow I will teach you the punches in kendo." Method and footwork.”
Xia Yan nodded, grabbed the wooden stick, and stood there motionless in the kendo posture.
But in just three minutes, Xia Yan felt tired, his arms were numb, and he couldn't help but put down the stick.
Seeing this scene, Rukia immediately said: "Hold on, don't let it go when you feel tired, and don't worry about getting hurt. You are made up of spiritual children. After the spiritual children are damaged, they can be replenished and healed."
When Xia Yan heard this, he remembered that his body was no longer a physical body but made up of spiritual beings, so he didn't have to worry about causing permanent damage.
Xia Yan raised the wooden stick again. This time he did not put it down when he felt tired, but supported it hard.
After another two minutes, Xia Yan's arms were shaking, and he felt a sore and numb feeling.
But Xia Yan didn't relax, and kept insisting, five minutes, seven minutes, eight minutes, until ten minutes, Xia Yan's arm trembled, and the wooden stick in his hand fell to the ground.
Xia Yan felt some stiffness and pain in his arms, and his body also felt slightly tired. He wanted to take a rest. At this time, Rukia said again: "Now absorb the spirit to make up for the damaged spirit."
Xia Yan quickly followed what Lucia said and absorbed the spirits floating in the air to make up for his own losses.
When the spirit particles enter the body little by little, they begin to repair the damaged spirit particles, gather and compress the spirit particles, and the density of the spirit particles increases slightly.
Although the effect is relatively weak, if it continues, the density of the spirit seeds will be greatly increased, resulting in greater spiritual pressure.
Xia Yan saw the possibility of increasing his spiritual pressure and was unwilling to give up. He not only wanted to become a Shinigami, but also a powerful Shinigami.
