"Brother Yi, why don't we take a break?"
Gon looked at Leorio, who was drenched in sweat. Although he desperately wanted to see his father, he chose to be understanding towards Leorio.
"Already arrived."
Yi Shuihan stopped in his tracks and pointed to the distance.
"That's... gold!"
Xiao Jie stared blankly at the figure about 100 meters away, completely stunned.
He wanted to go forward, but was a little scared. At this moment, Xiao Jie really looked like an ordinary child looking for his father.
"Go! Don't be afraid, he is still your father."
Yi Shuihan said encouragingly, and the others also gave Xiao Jie an encouraging look.
"Ok!"
Nodding, Xiao Jie took another step, starting slowly and gradually accelerating until he was jogging.
"gold!!!"
A loud roar echoed throughout the entire sky.
With his back to Xiao Jie, Jin's lips twitched slightly, his expression becoming somewhat inscrutable. Perhaps it was shyness, or perhaps helplessness. Jin had a peculiar feeling towards his son. He was not good at handling matters between father and son. As a father, he was both unqualified and qualified.
He was unqualified because he left Xiao Jie alone at home for his own ideals, but qualified because he had been silently watching over Xiao Jie's growth and guiding him in his own unique way, which can be seen from his arrangements for Greed Island.
When Xiao Jie was less than 3 meters behind Jin, tears began to well up in his eyes. Heaven knows how much he had been looking forward to this moment.
Gon never blamed his father, Ging, for leaving him with Aunt Mito's house, because he knew Ging was a great man and must have had his reasons for doing so. In order to see Ging, he took the Hunter Exam, simply because Ging was also a Hunter and he wanted to know what his father's profession was like.
"Yo," Jin slowly turned around, revealing an expression that said, "You've grown quite a bit!"
"This... is really awkward! But it's unavoidable!"
Jin looked at his son, his mind racing, searching for the right words to say.
Xiao Jie had really wanted to see Jin, but when he actually met Jin, his mind went blank for a moment. He didn't know where to start. He had thought many times about what to do after meeting Jin, what to say, and what questions to ask, but now that he was actually there, he had completely forgotten his previous thoughts.
"Hey, are you alright? Uh, I mean, how are you doing? No, you seem pretty good!"
Jin's tone of voice sounded somewhat incoherent.
"But it's so rare to see gold like this!"
Netero looked at Kim with surprise, a strange smile on his face.
"Is he Jin? He looks quite ordinary."
Killua looked at Ging and compared him to his own father. The current Ging did not quite match the Ging he had imagined.
"Alright, let's leave the time to the father and son, and talk about other things later."
Compared to Jin, Xiao Jie was obviously much easier to deal with. No one knew what Jin and Xiao Jie were talking about, but Xiao Jie had a smile on his face the whole time, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
About half an hour later, the first meeting between father and son finally ended, and Jin brought Xiao Jie over.
"Old man, you're still alive!"
Without any hesitation, he launched a verbal attack at Nitero.
"Yes! I'm actually quite dead too, but unfortunately my body is too healthy."
Netero said with a chuckle, completely unconcerned about Kim's somewhat rude remarks.
"Is it you? I'll take Gon as my fighter."
Jin looked at Yi Shuihan with sharp eyes, as if trying to see through him.
"Xiao Jie is indeed my fighter right now."
“Since it’s Xiao Jie’s own choice, I won’t interfere. But if anything happens to him, I won’t forgive you.”
He spoke softly, but everyone present could feel the undeniable authority and the awe-inspiring determination in his words.
"Since he is my fighter, no one can bully him easily."
Yi Shuihan said calmly.
"What a terrifying guy. He's even stronger than Netero. I can't even fathom his strength. This is the first time I've encountered something like this."
Jin's senses were extremely sharp, and he even vaguely perceived the terrifying nature of Yi Shuihan.
"Do you have any plans for the future? If not, you can work with me for now."
"I plan to go see this new world, and perhaps I will come to find you soon."
Chapter 771, Being Flirted With
Jin eventually left, and Xiao Jie, after being persuaded by him, obediently stayed by Yi Shuihan's side.
Afterwards, Yi Shuihan suggested returning home. Killua and Netero did not continue to follow the group. Killua wanted to find his family, while Netero's purpose was unknown; perhaps he was searching for the truth of the new world.
Kurapika has basically avenged himself, and he has become much more cheerful. In a new world, he has nowhere to go, so he chose to act with Yi Shuihan. As for Leorio, he had similar reasons.
"Let me introduce you. This is Gon." Back at the Shinigami's base, he met Aiolia and the others. "Kurapika, and Uncle Leorio."
"I'm not an old man, I just look a little mature."
Leorio immediately defended himself.
"Are you the Saint Seiya warriors Brother Yi was talking about?"
"Hello, I am Aiolia."
"I'm……"
"..."
After a brief self-introduction, Gon quickly became friends with Aiolia and the others. After all, they were close in age, and Gon himself was an extremely easy person to get along with.
"You said you're Brother Yi's fighter?"
Upon learning this news from Gon, Aiolia and the others found it incredible, since in this world, having a fighter meant that the fighter was a god.
Yi Shuihan might be a god! This news began to circulate among Aiolia and the others. At first, they did not believe it, but thinking about Yi Shuihan's power, they gradually felt that it would not be so strange if Yi Shuihan really was a god.
"So, you can't find Aizen now? You want my help!"
Yi Shuihan looked at Urahara Kisuke in front of him with indifference.
"Your goal is the Hogyoku. Finding Aizen means finding the Hogyoku. Moreover, if Aizen continues to hide, no one knows how strong he will be when he reappears next time. By then, it might be too late."
Kisuke Urahara pressed down his hat with his hand and said.
"Do you have any ideas about Nel's situation?"
"I can make a device to temporarily restore her to her adult state, but there is no way to fully restore her unless you can find the Hogyoku."
"Didn't you make a Hogyoku? Can't you make another one?"
"The last time we were able to create the Hogyoku was a complete accident; it's impossible to make another one."
He stated very frankly that he couldn't do it, but in reality, it wasn't as certain as Urahara Kisuke said. If Urahara Kisuke were given the materials, he actually had a 50% chance of being able to recreate a Hogyoku.
The true Hogyoku refers to the fusion of Kisuke Urahara's and Aizen's Hogyoku. Even if Kisuke Urahara's Hogyoku were made, its effect would be far from sufficient to restore Nel.
"I see."
After giving that reply, Yi Shuihan fell silent, leaving it unclear whether he meant he would help or not.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Seeing the impatience on Yi Shuihan's face, Urahara Kisuke immediately chose to leave.
Shortly after Kisuke Urahara left, another Grim Reaper found Yi Shuihan.
Yoruichi Shihouin transformed into a black cat and walked up to Yi Shuihan with cat-like steps. Then, to Yi Shuihan's somewhat astonishment, she jumped onto his shoulder.
"Kid, how are you going to act out what we talked about last night? If you can tell me the real secret, Soi Fon is yours."
If this were a female voice, it would indeed be very alluring. However, the black cat's voice at this moment was completely that of a man, which almost gave Yi Shuihan goosebumps.
"I've already told you the trick. As long as you can grasp it, you can improve your speed even further." He looked like he was completely absorbed in his own thoughts. "Also, can you speak in human form?"
Talking to a cat is definitely not as enjoyable as talking to a beautiful woman, even if she's a little dark-skinned.
Yi Shuihan didn't expect that Shihouin Yoruichi would revert to her original form just because of his words, but things often turn out unexpectedly.
"So you wanted to see my body! You should have said so earlier!"
The voice went from being rough at first to becoming much more delicate later, and in the blink of an eye, a naked black woman appeared on Yi Shuihan's shoulder.
Feeling the touch on his shoulder, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but glance at it, taking in the full view of Yoruichi Shihouin's figure.
Facing Yi Shuihan's gaze, Yoruichi Shihouin showed no embarrassment whatsoever, acting nonchalantly like a seasoned veteran.
"Anyway, I'm not the one who's going to suffer a loss, so I might as well take a look. If the people involved aren't afraid, why should I be?"
With this in mind, Yi Shuihan became increasingly bold in his actions.
Yoruichi Shihōin suddenly stared at Yi Shuihan strangely, then abruptly pulled Yi Shuihan's head into her arms.
"How was it? Pretty comfortable, right? If you tell me the trick, I can make it even more comfortable!"
"Wow, is this really going to be this exciting?!"
Yi Shuihan, being a man after all, was somewhat overwhelmed by the situation and wished he could immediately engage in a fierce battle with Yoruichi Shihouin.
"I will endure!"
Seeing that Yi Shuihan did not move, Yoruichi Shihōin probably lost her patience and simply got off Yi Shuihan and transformed back into a black cat.
"As expected, you like Soi Fon's type. You wait here, I'll go get her right away."
Looking at the black cat that had disappeared from sight, Yi Shuihan felt a sense of loss.
To avoid Yoruichi Shihouin, Yi Shuihan once again led Aiolia and the others on a Hollow-faring adventure. Of course, he spent most of the time on the road telling Gon about Cosmo training.
The Nen system is ultimately weaker than the Cosmo system. In the end, even someone like Netero, whose Nen abilities are at the same level, cannot match the destructive power of a Saint wearing a Bronze Cloth.
Aside from Gon, Kurapika and Leorio didn't go with them but stayed at the Shinigami's base. After learning about the existence of the Shinigami, Leorio became very curious about them, especially after learning about Medical Kido. He stayed in the Fourth Division, showing a strong interest in studying Medical Kido. For Leorio, who aspired to be a doctor, Medical Kido was indeed very attractive.
Kurapika and Ukitake were chatting happily, and now he's staying with Ukitake, but nobody knows what he's doing.
Chapter 772, There's still a lot of common sense you need to know.
Yi Shuihan knew that Xiao Jie was talented, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to forcefully open his mind and succeed. After all, he had a good father. However, one cannot forcefully open one's inner universe, yet he still managed to comprehend it in a very short time.
How short is this? To be specific, it was just that Yi Shuihan had just finished explaining what the so-called microcosm is and how to comprehend it, and Xiao Jie simply closed his eyes, waited for 2 minutes, and then opened his eyes again and had already entered the door.
"They're even faster than Kisuke Urahara and the others?"
Yi Shuihan looked at Xiao Jie with considerable surprise. In Yi Shuihan's opinion, it would take Xiao Jie at least a few days to get started. After all, no matter how talented he was, he couldn't compare to Urahara Kisuke and the other Shinigami who had mastered a system to a very high level, which would allow them to apply their knowledge to other systems.
"Aside from the fact that he has his own body, the only difference is that he's also a protagonist!"
The faster Xiao Jie learns, the happier Yi Shuihan is. After all, who doesn't like their subordinates to be talented and strong? Of course, if someone becomes stronger than their boss, that's unacceptable. But for Yi Shuihan, that's probably impossible.
Having handed over the cultivation of his cosmos to Xiao Jie, Yi Shuihan was once again in a state of idleness. So, while recovering his body, he considered how to cure Nel without using the Hogyoku.
Multitasking is naturally not as effective as going all out, but it still has some effect. At least Yi Shuihan can feel that even so, the time it takes for his body to fully recover is getting shorter and shorter.
With one hand pressing on Nilu's mask, carefully feeling it, Yi Shuihan's face was unusually serious at this moment.
"I didn't expect this superpower to actually be useful."
I only remembered my ability to release particle streams by chance, and then used it a little. After all, it's my own ability, and using it occasionally can improve my proficiency. What if I need it in the future?
But this time a strange phenomenon occurred: the particle stream was actually sucked into the broken opening in the mask on Nel's head.
This phenomenon caught Yi Shuihan's attention. After all, Nilu wasn't human, but a void, without cells, so the particle flow shouldn't have any effect on her.
"Interesting. This mask is quite similar to particle streams in some ways. It absorbed particle streams and showed signs of recovery. Could it be that Nel can be completely restored just by using particle streams?"
This conjecture greatly surprised Yi Shuihan. After all, once a Hollow's mask is broken, it has no chance to recover and loses the ability to evolve further. This has been a truth passed down for countless years in Hueco Mundo, as if it were a life instinct imprinted deep in the Hollow's soul.
Countless Hollows have fallen on the path of evolution because their masks were damaged. For an Adjuchas to evolve into a higher level of being, it requires thousands of Adjuchas of the same level to sacrifice themselves for it.
If people knew that Yi Shuihan could heal the Hollow Mask's shattering, he could probably command Hollows with that ability without any problem. While the Hogyoku could probably heal it too, the energy consumption would be ridiculously high, making it incomparable to Yi Shuihan's.
"It's a pity that these Void beings are too weak. Otherwise, it would have been worthwhile to spend some time subduing them."
Slowly releasing her supernatural power, Nilu's mask absorbed the particle stream without hesitation.
Yi Shuihan asked Nilu how she felt. According to her, it was like receiving a massage; not only was it very comfortable, but her whole body felt warm.
