Chapter 746 A Blessing in Disguise
Under weak energy attacks, strong people with potential lock level 4 or below have no ability to resist, including Meng Xiang. Meng Xiang was only invaded by energy, and because his mind no longer had any "inner demons", his will was extremely firm and he was not invaded by any illusions, so he woke up after the attack, not before the attack.
The same goes for Mu Feier.
Only by visualizing energy can we prevent it in advance. Gu Panpan is a special case. She has the Eye of the Immortal Lord. Even if she has not broken through to the fifth level of the potential lock, she can still visually observe energy to a certain extent and prevent it in advance.
Energy visual, visual energy, "see" the weak energy particles scattered in the space one by one like sesame seeds. For Gu Panpan, it means avoiding the attacks of these "sesame seeds".
For the reincarnations who have the ability to sense crisis, especially Meng Xiang and Zhuo Luo who have keen insight, even if they cannot "see" the energy, they can already "sense" the energy. However, when the energy is integrated into nature and mixed with the energy of the natural space, it hides its essence and murderous aura. Then, it is impossible to "see" the offensive energy by "perception" alone.
Just like sesame seeds and sand mixed together, you can only distinguish which one is the sesame seed and which one is the sand by "seeing it with your own eyes".
Only a powerful person with potential lock level 5, or the Eye of the Immortal Lord, can "see with their own eyes" the energy particles and avoid the energy attacks that invade the mind.
Han Fan knew what had happened, and he was still frightened when he recalled the horrible nightmare he had not long ago.
Meng Xiang rescued Tang Bixin and Jiejuan one after another. Their first feeling after regaining consciousness was exactly the same as Han Fan's.
However, Zhuo Luo could not be awakened no matter what. He seemed to be in a deep sleep, and Meng Xiang had expelled the alien energy in his body one by one. However, Zhuo Luo's own will was willing to stay in the dream, and no matter how he was slapped or even splashed with water, he could not be awakened.
"Could it be that Zhuo Luo's will has been destroyed? I didn't expect that such a strong person has such a fragile heart." Gu Panpan glanced at Zhuo Yue Luo with disdain, her face full of contempt.
"No." Meng Xiang denied Gu Panpan's words. He supported Zhuo Luo and said, "Void is also a kind of soul division. Although it is not a heart demon, it is similar to it. Zhuo Luo's mind cannot be destroyed. I think he stays in the illusory dream with his own will."
"Are you willing to stay in the dream? Isn't it a wet dream?" Jiejuan laughed.
"I don't know about that, but I have a hunch that as long as Zhuo Luo wakes up by his own will, he will definitely surprise us." Meng Xiang knew Zhuo Luo's character very well. The most likely reason why he voluntarily stayed in the dream was that he found an opportunity to break through the barrier.
Is this barrier a potential lock of level 4, deep into the subtle stage, or what? Meng Xiang couldn't predict it. Anyway, once Zhuo Luo successfully broke through, his strength would definitely change dramatically.
With Zhuo Luo's potential, if he had not joined the Wuming Team and had always lived under the aura of Meng Xiang, he would have already been a strong man who could stand on his own. Meng Xiang's overprotection greatly suppressed Zhuo Luo's performance, but it was time for him to transform.
The transformation of strength.
Zhuo Luo couldn't be left in the beast cave, so Meng Xiang suggested that Fang Ru carry Zhuo Luo on his back and continue moving forward. Because the non-combatants of the Nameless Team were only Mu Fei'er and Fang Ru, and it was not appropriate to let Mu Fei'er carry Zhuo Luo, so this task naturally fell to Fang Ru.
With the physique of the reincarnationist, it was easy for him to carry an adult. However, it was a bit unnatural for a grown man like Fang Ru to carry another grown man on his back. As the reincarnationist walked forward, he sometimes caught a glimpse of Fang Ru and Zhuo Luo and couldn't help but smile.
The reincarnationists could never guess that Zhuo Luo's inner world was in a critical moment. As the saying goes, one day in heaven is one year on earth. The inner world and the outer world also have the same time distortion. When Meng Xiang entered the inner world to fight the inner demon, the time distortion reached a thousand times.
One day in the spiritual world is one minute in the outside world.
In Zoro's mind, the ferocious Godzilla was rushing towards him. In a few seconds, Zoro would be crushed to pieces. However, he still held his Zanpakutō tightly. Although his limbs were weak, he still wanted to draw strength from his Zanpakutō.
The power of the God of Death comes from Zanpakutō, because Zanpakutō is actually a clone of the soul and possesses the prototype of soul power.
"Xingyan Shi Luo, what is your final name?" Zhuo Luo's mind was communicating with his Zanpakuto.
"What do you think my name is?" Zanpakuto responded to Zoro. Zoro can release Zanpakuto and has the ability to communicate with Zanpakuto.
"I know your Shikai's name is Xingyan Shira, but what's the name of your Bankai?"
"Bankai name? Didn't I answer you?"
"You answered? No."
"I have answered. To be honest, the communication between you and me has reached a limitless level. The Shikai has already reached its peak and you can use Bankai at any time."
"Can you use Bankai at any time? I don't understand." Zoro was confused. At this moment, he couldn't move his body and could only let Godzilla slaughter him. This made him free of distractions and he could communicate with his Zanpakutō without any obstacles in his spiritual world.
Although he could hear his companions calling him all the time, the pure life energy made him feel very comfortable and restored his strength. However, he was unwilling to move, or even to answer. He knew that this kind of opportunity to have "zero contact" with his Zanpakutō was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if he missed it, he might never be able to perform Bankai in his life.
To seek victory at all costs, including one's own life, is the killer philosophy that Zoro was instilled with in the real world.
"Zoro, you have to understand why the Zanpakuto exists and why it has a name."
"Why? I don't understand." Zoro was completely confused. After close contact with the Zanpakutō, he finally heard the clearest conversation between the Zanpakutō, but the conversation was so confusing.
"Why does Zanpakuto have a name?" Zoro pouted his head and muttered to himself. He ignored Godzilla who had raised his right limb and was about to step on him, and did not pay any attention to his companions who were calling for him.
"Why am I called Zhuo Luo? Because it's a name, a name my teacher gave me. If he hadn't given me a name, would I still be Zhuo Luo? No, to be precise, would I still be myself? If I wasn't called Zhuo Luo, would my fate change when I entered the reincarnation world? No, it wouldn't change. It's just a name."
"It's the code name my teacher gave me. Whether I'm called Zhuo Luo or not has nothing to do with my fate or strength."
Zhuo Luo suddenly understood.
"Why do I keep asking about the name of Zanpakutō's Bankai? If a Zanpakutō doesn't have a Bankai name, does that mean Bankai doesn't exist? No, Bankai has always existed, and it's not just Bankai."
"Bankai is just the power bestowed on Zanpakuto by the Lord God, but the power of Bankai comes from my soul. And my soul is another kind of power that even the Lord God cannot touch."
"However, whether my Zanpakutō is released or not, my power comes from my soul, from myself. If I can break through the gene lock, I won't need to release my Zanpakutō at all."
"I understand now. The knife is me, and I am the knife."
The light on Zhuo Luo's body had never shone so brightly before. At this moment, Zhuo Luo figured out all his doubts. Although it was only in the spiritual world, he could not control everything, and he could not even resist the giant palm that was about to step down from above. However, he was clear in his mind. He knew that this palm that was about to step down would be just a cloud, and he would not be hurt at all.
Because, behind him, he has the support of his companions, but also the existence of "virtuality".
"Hey, have you figured it out?" The other voice did not belong to Zoro, nor to the Zanpakuto, but to another soul - Hollow.
"Yes, I figured it out. Thank you for your support all along."
"Well, that's good. Then, the moment of two becoming one and truly merging has arrived. I hate you very much, but rather than die, I'd rather merge with you."
"Come on, then."
"Oh, that's right." Another voice said, "Think of a name carefully. It gives us the ultimate power, a power that even the main god has never given us. So, for other Shinigami, it is a skill given, but for you, or for Kenpachi Zaraki's body, it is a self-created skill."
"So, its power is stronger than other gods of death, right?" Zoro said coldly.
"Yes, stronger. And, stronger than you can believe and control. So, you and I have no choice but to merge into one. From now on, whether you are in the virtual world or not, whether you wear a skull mask or not, I will always exist, because you are me and I am you."

It took almost an hour to carry Zhuo Luo on his back, but to Zhuo Luo's spiritual world, it was just a matter of a moment...
