[Your Quincy Mixed-blood stage fusion rate has reached 100%, and the number of energy crystals has met the requirement of 20,000 units]
[Please open the stone gate to obtain even greater power]
[Open? Yes/No]
"Open!"
In an instant.
Countless energy crystals rose into the air, shattering into specks of starlight that merged into the stone gate.
Immediately after, the formation pattern on the back of the stone gate suddenly brightened and began to rotate slowly.
The energy vortex within the gate surged rapidly.
A beam of white light suddenly erupted from the vortex, accurately blasting into the center of his forehead!
Aokawa only felt a new power being injected into his body.
[Upgrading racial imprint]
[Upgrade complete]
[racial imprint has been upgraded to: Quincy (Pure-blood, current fusion rate: 10.00%)]
[Your Quincy Bloodline purity has reached Pure-blood; automatically Awakening Blood Armor: Blut Vene]
[Blood Armor: Blut Vene—An innate ability of Pure-blood Quincies. It directly injects spirit particles into the blood vessels, greatly enhancing the physical body's defensive power. The higher the purity of the injected spirit particles, the stronger the destructive capability enhanced. Blut Vene conflicts with Blut Vene; Blut Vene cannot be used while using Blut Vene.]
[Your imprint fusion rate has reached 10%; you have unlocked new racial skills]
[You have obtained the racial skill: Soul Distribution]
[Soul Distribution: A power that only a very few Quincies can possibly inherit. It allows the user to grant fragments produced from their own fragmented Soul to others, filling the gaps in the recipient's Soul. During the period when the recipient's mind and body gradually recover, the knowledge, experience, skills, and talents they bloom will all be recorded in the Soul fragment gifted to them. These Soul fragments can be reclaimed through Auswählen, absorbing the power within to patch one's own Soul. However, the target whose fragment is reclaimed will die instantly. Note: energy crystals can be used as a substitute for Soul fragments.]
[You have obtained the racial skill: Piano Random Key]
[Piano Random Key: Based on a Pure-blood Quincy's high spirit particles control ability, it allows the user to absorb spirit particles from the air using only one hand and condense it into Holy Arrows for continuous fire.]
[You have obtained the item: Ginrei Kojaku—Ishida Uryū's second Spirit Bow. It glows with a blue light, and its main body is composed of intersecting long and short crosses and octagons. Maximum rapid-fire capacity is 1,200 rounds.]
[The item has been merged into the Quincy Cross and inscribed onto the backs of both hands]
Holy crap!
Aokawa's eyes widened when he saw these skills.
They were all high-end skills.
Setting aside the flashy skills like Blut Vene and Klavier...
Even Soul Distribution was given.
This was a top-tier skill possessed only by Yhwach and Haschwalth in the entire series.
Although the two of them distributed their Soul fragments as an unconscious act, it was precisely because of this skill that they were able to build the massive power of the Wandenreich.
By the same logic, if Aokawa possessed the ability to bestow power upon others, then even more people would follow him.
After all, if you want people to follow you wholeheartedly, empty talk about faith isn't enough.
How would that be any different from a boss using PUA on young people, telling them they need to take on more responsibility and learn more?
You still have to bring out something tangible.
However, his current strength was far from Yhwach's level; he couldn't awaken Schrift in others just through blood.
After all, he hadn't even awakened a Schrift himself.
But through Soul Distribution, it was still possible to consciously let others acquire some Quincy skills.
Additionally, the stone gate prompted him that he could use energy crystals to replace Soul fragments.
This solved his worries.
One must know that the Soul fragments of Yhwach and Haschwalth came from their own incomplete Souls.
Their Souls were producing fragments every moment, and these fragments unconsciously merged into the people around them.
This also meant that Yhwach had to constantly wage war throughout his life to maintain his strength; otherwise, he would regress to an infant-like state—unable to see or hear.
Aokawa's own Soul was complete, and with the Soul Power of his previous life's host, there was absolutely no need to shatter it to obtain Soul fragments.
Furthermore, he didn't plan to use Auswählen to reclaim all the fragments at the last moment like Yhwach.
Having understood this, Aokawa immediately formed hand signs to summon a Shadow Clone.
After advancing to Pure-blood, his Chakra control and spirit particles control had improved significantly.
The first thing he thought of was to immediately and completely remove that damned Caged Bird Seal in his mind.
Poof!
A Shadow Clone appeared.
"What are you doing~?" the Shadow Clone said reluctantly. "It's so late, can't you let a guy rest?"
"Stop talking nonsense and help me remove this Bird in a Cage Curse Seal on my head," Aokawa said.
Aokawa took a deep breath, calming the surging spirit particles within his body.
He turned and locked the wooden door of the Barracks, then traced his fingers through the air to set up a soundproofing Talismanic Incantation.
The Shadow Clone, who had been somewhat casual, now pulled back its playful grin.
The Shadow Clone skillfully took out a set of simple medical instruments from a storage scroll.
"Original, let's get the ugly truth out of the way first."
"This Caged Bird Seal Seal is completely entangled with your optic nerves and cerebral cortex."
"If there's even a slight instability in the energy fluctuations, your head will explode like a ripe watermelon."
Aokawa sat cross-legged, fine beads of sweat already seeping from his forehead.
"Let's begin. I trust my control, and I trust your touch."
He closed his eyes, and his consciousness began to sink fully into the depths of his brain, using spirit particles for internal vision.
The originally pitch-black world sketched out complex networks in his mind—vessels and nerves.
And among these living tissues, dense blue-black patterns like a malevolent spider web tightly strangled his dignity.
This was the Caged Bird Seal.
The Shadow Clone extended its hands, and two nearly transparent Chakra Threads emerged from its fingertips.
These two threads, highly compressed and enhanced by Spiritual Particle Cluster, became sharper and tougher than any scalpel.
"First, cut off the outermost energy circulation circuit."
The Shadow Clone reminded him softly.
When that blade-sharp Chakra Thread touched the first blue-black pattern, Aokawa's body jerked violently.
An indescribable stabbing pain instantly pierced through his entire body.
It was as if countless ants were frantically gnawing inside his marrow, and like a red-hot steel needle was desperately churning behind his eyeballs.
"Hold on, this is only the beginning."
The Shadow Clone's expression was grave, and a soft green light appeared in its palms.
A high-precision Mystical Palm Technique instantly covered Aokawa's forehead, alleviating the tissue damage caused by the violent destruction of the Seal.
As time passed, the surgery entered the most critical deep-layer area.
The Seal patterns here had already completely penetrated the cerebral cortex.
Aokawa felt his vision begin to blur, and the originally clear Byakugan internal vision became distorted and fragmented.
Because it touched sensitive areas of the brain, his breathing became rapid, and his consciousness began to flicker.
He could even hear the faint sound of cracking coming from inside his skull.
That heart-wrenching itch seeped out from the gaps in the bone, making him want to slam his head against the wall.
"Not good, the original's consciousness is dissipating, and the curse Seal is starting its self-protection!"
