Su Han calmly met the white-bearded man's gaze; those were remarkably calm eyes. Then, Su Han's body dissolved into mist and vanished.
Whitebeard remained silent for a long, long time. That previous exchange of glances hadn't affected him in the slightest. It was as if the other person was just an ordinary person. But was that really possible?
I thought of Madara Uchiha from the past, and even Aizen, who, despite being shrouded in mist, still showed signs of being in a sorry state...
"Could it be what Zhang Sanfeng meant by... returning to simplicity? No, it could also be that He allows us to look directly at Him, granting us privileges, but does not allow us to peek into His essence! Or perhaps, He doesn't care whether we peek into His essence or not, it's just that we simply cannot bear the price of peeking into Him."
Whitebeard's eyebrows twitched a few times, but he didn't think about it any further.
He felt like he was courting death by thinking about such things. He forced himself to shift his thoughts to the two new recruits from before.
Reflecting on the scene before him, a sudden realization dawned on the white-bearded man's eyes; he had suddenly understood something.
"So that's how it is. They deliberately came to this space and pulled these two guys into the misty space! Then, they revealed the past and future of their world... Did they want to see how they would react when they learned about the future of their world?"
Nodding, the white-bearded man sighed softly, "As expected of an observer from beyond the world... truly an unexpectedly wicked sense of humor."
"No, that one cannot be viewed through the eyes of a normal human being... Perhaps, just as Tony Stark guessed, his perverse sense of humor or his normal state... is merely a simulation and disguise of the human condition."
Whitebeard smiled helplessly, said no more, and entered the storyline of the Grim Reaper.
...
In the real world, Su Han opened his eyes.
He flipped his hand and took out four cards, gently stroking them as he forcibly suppressed his excitement, murmuring, "Sode no Shirayuki... an ice-type Zanpakuto. Kyoka Suigetsu! The strongest illusion-type Zanpakuto that dominates the five senses."
While Sode no Shirayuki isn't the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto, it shouldn't be underestimated. Not to mention, it's hailed as the most beautiful Zanpakuto in Soul Society.
As for Kyoka Suigetsu... this Zanpakuto needs no explanation; its name alone proves everything. Even in its Shikai form, it can control the five senses of everyone who sees it.
Everything you see, hear, and feel... is under someone else's control. The enemy you challenge could be your teammate. Even your most powerful attack might be aimed at yourself... This is simply unplayable.
Su Han even felt that Kyoka Suigetsu was Aizen's strongest trump card to become the big boss.
"But then again, a person can only possess one Zanpakuto, right?"
Su Han fell into thought, "It seems that Zanpakuto are formed from the fusion of souls. If I fuse them, will these two merge into a new one? Or will they awaken on their own?"
However, Su Han quickly shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts.
Thinking about it a lot is meaningless if you don't put it into practice.
He closed his eyes and fused the two Zanpakuto cards. The next instant, Su Han reached out and clenched his fist, and two Zanpakuto suddenly appeared in his hand.
------------
Chapter 63 Whitebeard: Aren't you right, Aizen Sousuke?
"Should I say 'as expected'?"
Su Han stared at the two Zanpakuto in his palms. He could clearly sense that these two Zanpakuto were connected to his soul. He could unleash the power of these two swords whenever he wanted.
At this moment, Su Han suddenly thought of the Devil Fruit.
Devil Fruits, theoretically, can only consume one at a time; Blackbeard's case is an example of overpowered abilities and cannot be considered within the normal range. Similarly, a Zanpakuto can only be possessed by one person at a time.
However, Su Han's fusion broke the conventions of the two worlds.
After a long silence, Su Han sighed softly, "The Misty Space is truly terrifying."
The Mystery Card is terrifying; it eliminates all limitations and constraints...
Once integrated, one can possess this power regardless of any preconditions.
"But this is a good thing for me," Su Han chuckled and flicked his wrist to put the two Zanpakuto into his body. "Speaking of which, with two Zanpakuto, should I consider practicing dual-wielding in the future? It feels like it would be too much trouble."
Muttering to himself, Su Han picked up his phone and searched for dual-wielding techniques. A whole bunch of all sorts of information popped up.
Clicking on the top search result from Baidu, Su Han looked on with great interest at the various techniques for practicing swordsmanship and knife skills. However, as he read to the end, he began to ponder whether he should try some practical training…
He then saw a row of large red warning characters: Online cultivation methods are risky; practice with caution.
"Hmm?!" Su Han's expression became subtle.
Yes, how could he forget that the greatest convenience of the internet age is information sharing? However, the internet also has its limitations…
Because information sharing is so convenient, you can't tell whether the information is true or false from the mixed bag of information.
Whether it's cultivation techniques or practice methods, there are indeed genuine ones online! But there are definitely more fake ones. And practicing fake techniques... that goes beyond just dying.
"horrible."
After a moment's thought, Su Han wrote down the practice techniques.
Wait a minute, go train in the Misty Space for a while, and you'll know if it's true... After all, if something really happens inside, he can restore everything to its original state with just a thought.
Moreover, Su Han could use this opportunity to compile practice techniques that suited him... With this in mind, Su Han memorized dozens of different sword practice techniques.
After finishing his memorization, Su Han entered the Cultivation Month. However, this time he only secluded himself for one month during the Cultivation Month.
Although he can only barely grasp the basics of dual-wielding, he has already devised the training method that best suits him.
Back in reality, I browsed all sorts of online information, which also helped me relax my mind, which had been stretched too tight during the month of cultivation.
This relaxed state continued until dinner time. After finishing his meal and washing up, Su Han lay on the bed and entered the misty space.
Then he discovered that there were many people in the misty space, and they were having a very pleasant discussion.
