"Mr. Urahara, this is the first time in my life that I know that Karakura Town is such a fierce city. The streets are full of brutal fighters who regard fighting as a daily routine. Moreover, what exactly is the purity that those fighters are talking about? Why does every fighter take it for granted that this thing is a unit of strength calculation!?" Urahara Kisuke said that this was a good question and he also wanted to know why. Of course, Urahara Kisuke would not say it explicitly, he just said meaningfully: "The answers you get from others are not as profound as your own personal experience." 16. Ichigo Kurosaki gradually understood what purity is Looking at Ichigo Kurosaki with a frustrated look on his face, Urahara Kisuke narrowed his eyes slightly and recalled some of the things he had discussed last night when he was negotiating with the Voice from Beyond. "Mr. Urahara, although I cannot explain the specific reasons to you, I have no ill will towards Kurosaki Ichigo. He is still too young now and is far from being able to shoulder the mission he should shoulder. I need him to grow up as soon as possible. For this reason, I have arranged some trials and plots for him. If you are interested in participating in it, Mr. Urahara, I welcome you, but please do not try to stop me. Please do not misunderstand, this is not a threat, but just a request and advice!" The tone of that Voice from Beyond was gentle, but it concealed a sharp edge, and the advice was also powerful. As the smartest man in the Three Realms, Urahara Kisuke was not in a hurry to do anything before the true identity of that Voice from Beyond was revealed. However, there is one thing that Urahara Kisuke admits, that is, the current Kurosaki Ichigo is indeed too young. Urahara Kisuke stroked his chin and said thoughtfully:
"As for the purity of that so-called fighter, I don't know much about it, but, Kurosaki-kun, in my opinion, you are a little too sweet." Ichigo Kurosaki was surprised and asked, "Sweet?" Urahara Kisuke clapped his hands and smiled, "Yes, it's just like a cake, fluffy, sweet, and has a good amount of calories. It makes people feel warm and satisfied from the bottom of their hearts at first glance, and makes people full of expectations..." Kurosaki Ichigo still couldn't understand what this metaphor meant. Then Urahara Kisuke's smile faded and he continued, "So, when facing Iron Fist, you will be smashed to pieces quickly, because you are just a piece of sweet and soft cake. If you still can't understand, let me tell you straight away, the opponents you met this morning were basically weaker than you, but you were the one who was beaten to a pulp, and the reason was simply that they were fighters, and you weren't, right?" Kisuke Urahara, who has been through many battles and is experienced, can easily see through Ichigo Kurosaki's problems. Ichigo Kurosaki is a very gentle person. Because of this gentleness, he embarks on the path of protecting everything, but because of this gentleness, he will face some problems when fighting. In the original plot, the battle maniac Kenpachi Zaraki once commented on Ichigo Kurosaki in this way. When you want to cut someone, you always subconsciously hold back and retreat when the blade touches the enemy's body. With such a blade, who can you cut? Although Urahara Kisuke does not think that Kurosaki Ichigo must become an iron-blooded warrior who shows no mercy to anyone, now that his power has been awakened, this overly sweet mentality may not be a good thing. With Urahara Kisuke's advice, Kurosaki Ichigo finally understood the root of the problem, but this problem could not be solved simply by saying a few words in his mind. Instead, Kurosaki Ichigo became even more confused. At this time, Rukia also appeared. She had heard what Urahara Kisuke said and said: "Ichigo, your problem is not uncommon in Soul Society. Many new Shinigami who have just graduated from the Central School have more or less the same mentality problem when they fight against Hollows. It's just that the Soul Society's way is to let these new Shinigami fight more and use time to get through it, but this method does not apply to you. You must find a method that suits you." Ichigo Kurosaki was silent for a long time, and finally stood up suddenly: "I have an idea!" After saying that, Kurosaki Ichigo hurried out. Urahara Kisuke looked at the impatient Kurosaki Ichigo, shook his head slightly, then looked at Rukia who was standing indifferently beside him, and showed an interesting smile: "Early in the morning, the legendary supreme referee of the fighting world, Devil Kinnikuman, mysteriously appeared and transformed into a ferocious beast to kill everyone in Karakura Town. Then many Hollows mysteriously disappeared, and then many mysterious fighters appeared out of nowhere, turning Karakura Town into a brutal city full of fighters. Rukia, do you have any idea about this matter?" Rukia turned her head away from looking at Urahara Kisuke, who was smiling like a fox, and said in a nonchalant tone, "You should ask that devilish muscleman about this kind of thing. As a noble lady of the Kuchiki family, I still slept in elegantly this morning. So, don't ask me, I don't know anything..." Looking at Rukia who was showing signs of escaping from reality, even someone as bad-tempered as Urahara Kisuke couldn't help but show a hint of pity, but he didn't say anything. If that voice from outer space was really "that" existence as he secretly guessed, then no one could save Rukia from what happened. Even the head of the Kuchiki family, Byakuya Kuchiki, would think it was an honor rather than a shame after knowing it. Of course, this speculation currently lacks a lot of evidence, so Urahara Kisuke said nothing.
Ichigo Kurosaki's method was actually very simple. After making a phone call, he went straight to Yasutora Chadari's house. Yasutora Chad has messy brown hair. Although he is only a sixteen-year-old boy, he looks like a thirty-six-year-old uncle. He has American ancestry and a very strong body. He is a good friend of Ichigo Kurosaki. Chadu's house is not very big, and it has been modified by himself, adding many fitness equipment and boxing facilities, making it look quite crowded. "Chadu, listen to me..." As soon as he entered Chad's house, Kurosaki Ichigo started chattering without even having a glass of water. Chad, who was always taciturn, just listened patiently and nodded occasionally to show that he was listening. After a long time, Chadu concluded: "You were involved in a battle in the other world for some strange reasons. After awakening your power, you agreed to a mysterious guy's invitation to play the leading role. However, the filming could not go on because the villain was too strong and too perverted. But you did not give up. Currently, in order to protect Ishida Uryu's chastity, you are undergoing RPG-style combat training. However, because of your lack of purity, you can't even beat the slime monsters. So you came to me to ask how to improve your purity as a fighter?" Ichigo Kurosaki nodded repeatedly, indicating that Chad's summary was correct. Chad was silent for a long time and asked, "What is purity?" "I don't know either, so I came to ask you. You have been doing combat training, so you must know more than me." "I haven't received any combat training, I've only learned boxing. Forget it, I know the situation, come with me!" Chad stood up quickly, took Ichigo Kurosaki to the boxing ring, and threw him a pair of gloves. "Want to teach me with actual combat? No problem. To be honest, I haven't fought with you yet." Kurosaki Ichigo put on gloves and said confidently, then made an awkward boxing gesture. Chad didn't say anything, but just raised his hands, made a pre-strike gesture, gestured, then rushed over in small steps and threw a clean jab. Thanks to his excellent reflexes, Kurosaki Ichigo dodged the punch by tilting his head, and then said confidently: "Chad, don't hold back, I'm fine..." Before he finished speaking, a series of combination punches came towards Kurosaki Ichigo. This combination of punches was like a violent storm. Kurosaki Ichigo tried his best to parry and wanted to fight back, but he found that Chad ducked and disappeared from his sight. Then he launched a series of attacks from the side. Not long after, Kurosaki Ichigo was hit hard in the face several times. Once he gained the upper hand, Chad's attacks did not stop, but became more violent. In Ichigo Kurosaki's sight, Chad's figure seemed to have disappeared, and was replaced by an old wolf who had strayed from the pack, strolling in the dark forest, blending into the night with his skilled hunting skills, and then through continuous probing and attacks, gradually wearing down the prey's physical strength until it was dragged down to death. During this process, the old wolf's green eyes were flashing with a ferociousness that would not stop until death. Once it found a flaw, it would chase after the prey mercilessly! After the battle stopped, Kurosaki Ichigo fell to the ground. Chad, who was panting, took a deep breath, shook his wrist which was in great pain, and said calmly: "Ichigo, I don't know what purity is, nor do I know what power you have awakened, which is why my hands hurt when I hit you. What I can tell you is that boxing is actually a very simple, even crude, martial art. There are only a few basic moves, but each move requires a long period of hard training until it is engraved in the instinct. During the fight, my brain was blank, and I just controlled the techniques engraved in my instinct to attack you, Ichigo..." After a pause, Chadu continued, "I noticed that you seemed to think too much when fighting. Your reaction was slower than you thought. Every time you made a move, it seemed as if countless ropes were pulling you back. This also caused your strength and skills to not be fully utilized." Chadu emphasized the word technology! Chad and Kurosaki Ichigo met each other through a fight with some hooligans, and they fought side by side many times afterwards, so Chad knew very well that although Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to have no combat training and only relied on his physical strength and reflexes to fight indiscriminately, the truth was not the case at all. Ichigo Kurosaki possesses an extremely terrifying fighting instinct. He does not need to train deliberately. In battle, his body will naturally find the most suitable posture for exerting force and attacking. He will even instinctively adjust the enemy's position by moving his feet, thereby creating a one-on-one opportunity while being surrounded and beaten by the enemy. This fighting instinct is already the ultimate state that many fighting masters dream of. Ichigo Kurosaki fell to the ground, looking at the ceiling. He had completely understood everything. He did not stand up, but just said calmly: "I know..." But at this moment, a sacred voice descended from the sky: "It seems that you are gradually understanding what purity is. Many people always have various reasons to fight, whether it is for protection or for destruction. These things cannot be said to be unimportant, but they are not fundamental. Because when you have tried everything else and nothing works, fighting itself is meaningful, because you don't fight for the sake of winning, but you standing here have no choice but to win." As a god, Mo Yu is very caring towards Ichigo Kurosaki, the first leading actor under his command. He took time out of his busy schedule to come and give him some encouragement. Ichigo Kurosaki didn't react much, as he was already used to having a mysterious person spying on him 24 hours a day and saying something like that out of the blue. But Chad, on the other hand, heard this magnificent and sacred sound for the first time. He looked up for a long time with a look of shock and confusion, then instinctively knelt on one knee and began to make the sign of the cross on his chest. Mo Yu then realized that Cha Du was also a believer, and he said to him, "Not bad, young man. I think you have a future. Are you interested in following me? Although I don't have five social insurances and one housing fund, I can satisfy some of your moderate wishes, and the retirement benefits are unique and good. After retirement, whether you want to take a milk bath with seventy-two boxers or drink honey tea with seventy-two sumo wrestlers, that's fine!"
Although Mo Yu's own paradise is still very simple, he feels that if he tries a little, it should not be difficult to achieve the stereotypical paradise style with milk and honey flowing everywhere. Chad was shocked. Obviously, he also thought of the legendary heaven, but he didn't expect that the people in heaven were so tough and full of fighters. Kurosaki Ichigo had gradually adapted to Mo Yu's unreliability. After rolling his eyes, he said: "Okay, stop lying to Cha Du. Tell me what you want from me!" Mo Yu shrugged and said casually, "As the leading actor, you have been unable to get into the state for a long time. Naturally, I am very worried about you. If you really continue, when you face Fisher, it is hard to say who will be defeated. So I also want to contribute to your practice, and I have put in a lot of effort for this!" At this moment, the viewing angle in the video has been cut to 99+, which proves Mo Yu's efforts. Although Urahara Kisuke was also helping him practice, Ichigo Kurosaki didn't say anything about this mysterious existence in the audience, but he actually had some trust in him, so he asked, "How are you going to let me practice?" Mo Yu introduced the results of his efforts to Kurosaki Ichigo in a cheerful tone: "It's like this, I found that you have too little experience in killing monsters, so I deliberately raised the experience value of each fighter. Of course, the strength of those fighters has also increased. At the same time, in order to speed up your leveling efficiency, I gave you a red name. You don't need to deliberately kill monsters. The monsters will automatically come to attack you. At the same time, the number of monsters encountered has been increased, and several leveling optimizations have been added..." "Wait, what the hell are you talking about, are you sure that's to let me practice, and not to kill me!?" Ichigo Kurosaki was stunned, wondering if he had heard it wrong. At this moment, the door of Chad's house was suddenly kicked open, and a group of muscular fighters filed in. When they saw Ichigo Kurosaki, murderous intent immediately appeared in their eyes, and they shouted: "Little devil, you actually boasted that you want to become the strongest creature on earth. Let's see if your purity is enough to match this arrogant idea!" One day after the incident, Chadu was interviewed by a mysterious person while sitting in a coffee shop. Chadu waved his hands and expressed his feelings, trying his best to describe the situation at that time: "As an ordinary boxing enthusiast, I have never seen so many fighters, and each of them is so pure that they are filled with strong murderous and fighting spirit. I only took a look at them and instinctively felt the gap between amateurs and professionals..." "Afterwards, I checked my own door. Can you imagine that a 3cm stainless steel security door was kicked away? I guess in the eyes of those high-level fighters, steel is actually no different from dirt. It's really a fascinating force..." "What? You're asking me about Ichigo Kurosaki? To be honest, I didn't see it clearly. My impression was that Ichigo was beaten up by that group of fighters all the way and rushed out of his house. He then fought and fled all the way. He was very fast. When I rushed out the door, I couldn't even see his back..." "What did I gain from this incident? Afterwards, I thought that it was a blessing to be able to witness Ichigo Kurosaki's transformation from an ordinary person to the strongest creature on earth in a series of stunning battles as a close friend. For this, I would like to especially thank Mr. Audience. It was because of him that I had the opportunity to participate in it and provide some help to Ichigo Kurosaki, allowing him to embark on the road to rise!" "What? You said that last sentence is a double-talk. No, no, my friend, the Lord is always watching you. You don't want to be on the Lord's blacklist for no reason. Oh no, you don't want to be on the Lord's heaven visitor registration list." But these are all later stories. Back to the beginning, after Kurosaki Ichigo was beaten out of the Chadari family, he fled for his life with all his might, but the large group of fighters behind him were still shouting lines like "Where is your purity?" and "Let us see your purity", chasing him relentlessly. While escaping, Ichigo Kurosaki noticed a strange advertisement flashing on a large projection screen in a commercial building not far away. A bust of Ichigo Kurosaki appeared in the advertisement, and there was a bubble next to it, with a line like "I am the strongest creature on earth, fighters who refuse to obey, come and show me your strength." And below the bust, it said "The first Karakura Town's strongest street no-rules fighting tournament is being held. Those who are interested in registering can contact the chief referee of the fighting world, Devil Kinnikuman, to register after reaching the purity standard." "You bastard, audience, I will remember you..." Ichigo Kurosaki gritted his teeth and shouted with all his might! There is nothing much to say next. No matter how you run, there will always be a fighter who can catch up with you. Fighting, endless fighting, not a minute or a second can be wasted. In the desperate and high-intensity battle, Ichigo Kurosaki's brain was forced to empty, and then he gradually understood what...purity is! 17. Purity has been greatly increased This is a very strange state. The body is still fighting at a high intensity, and the brain seems a little tired because of being too tense, but the mind seems to be above the body and brain, examining itself and the attacking fighters in a higher dimension. From those attacking fighters, Ichigo Kurosaki saw more and more clearly what "purity" means! Every time you swing your fist to attack, you are using your body and soul to hunt the enemy. Every time you retract your fist to accumulate strength, you are digesting and growing. Every time you fight, you are trying to take a step further in the cruel competition in the food chain, until you become the ultimate eater that is completely above the food chain. This will is so cold, yet so fanatical.
It has nothing to do with grudges, good or evil, killing or protecting; fighting itself is the meaning of everything. Driven by this purity, these fighters throw themselves fanatically into every battle. In their view, fighting itself has a value that transcends life and death, because it is a stepping stone to progress, a tower to become stronger, and a lotus platform for achievement. Driven by this extremely pure will, these fighters, like Asuras descended from the earth, burst out with 100%, or even 150% of their combat power. For them, every battle is a sublimation of life and death. Ichigo Kurosaki didn't know that the predecessors of these fighters were actually Hollows, and the so-called Hollows were essentially monsters that were infected by the Eternal Hollows and gradually became like the Eternal Hollows. Xu eats people, spirits, spirit particles, and even eats Xu. There is nothing in the world that Xu does not eat. Endless devouring is just for all things to return to one and return to eternal chaos. Even though he was transformed by the Hougyoku into a human fighter, his instinct from the Hollow did not subside, but became even more intense. When facing Ichigo Kurosaki, a creature with high spiritual power, his instinct became extremely active, and eventually became the "purity" sensed by Ichigo Kurosaki. But that is not important. What is important is that Ichigo Kurosaki finally understood what purity is, and gradually felt... his own purity! This purity has existed since the beginning, but it has always been ignored by Ichigo Kurosaki. It was not until this moment that it emerged so clearly. And when Ichigo Kurosaki needed it, this purity was at his disposal. In the spiritual world inside Kurosaki Ichigo's body, Uncle Zangetsu was looking at the sky. In Kurosaki Ichigo's inner world, although the storm had stopped, there were thunder and lightning, symbolizing his inner uneasiness and turmoil. But at this moment, the corner of Uncle Zangetsu's cloak was shaking violently, and a pale hand stretched out from it. At the same time, a crazy voice laughed: "Uncle, even though you suppressed me, you never thought that one day, Kurosaki Ichigo would call upon me with all his heart and soul..." Uncle Zangetsu did not speak, nor did he try to suppress Ichigo Shiro, because it was meaningless. When Ichigo Kurosaki sought the animality and wildness hidden deep in his instincts from the bottom of his heart, all this was unstoppable. Uncle Zangetsu just raised his head, with a little worry, and said to himself faintly: "Ichigo, don't let your instincts consume you..." A ragged fighter who looked like a homeless man blasted a wave of energy at Kurosaki Ichigo. Ichigo Kurosaki, whose movements and reactions were originally a little slow, suddenly had his pupils shrink and an extremely dangerous aura emerged from his whole body. Then he did not move, but tilted his head slightly, and avoided the energy wave with a precision of millimeters, and then clenched his fists. The anger at being chased repeatedly, the annoyance at being framed by Mo Yu, and the rage that lingered until now when he learned that Fisher was the murderer of his mother, countless anger gathered together, were all held, and then blasted out with the fastest force, hitting the homeless fighter's chest hard. No skills are needed, just a thorough release is enough! With a loud bang, the homeless man was blown away with blood spitting out of his mouth, and then hit the wall of the alley hard. Leaning against the sunken wall, the homeless fighter spat out blood, but he did not show any indignation. Instead, he stared at Kurosaki Ichigo and laughed: "I feel your purity. Although it's still tender, it's strong enough!" Ichigo Kurosaki did not answer, but just looked down at his hands. After a long time, he raised his head and said to the homeless fighter lightly: "Thank you, I have grown because of you." Seeing Ichigo Kurosaki trying his best to remain calm but unable to hide his ferocious and beastly eyes, the homeless fighter's laughter grew louder: "That's a good look. Then, just step on me, the loser, and use the combat experience you gained from me in the next battle!" Ichigo Kurosaki didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with this homeless fighter because more fighters were coming, but Ichigo Kurosaki no longer cared about that. In his ears, there was a real and imaginary roar of beasts, and at the same time, in his heart, there rose a feeling of arrogance that looked down upon everything. My instinct says this... In this world, there is no enemy that I cannot defeat! Burned by the beastly flames burning deep within his instincts, Ichigo Kurosaki felt an endless supply of power surging out. However, this power was so dangerous, like a natural disaster filled with the aura of calamity; every time it was used, he was falling towards a realm of no return. But that doesn't matter. At this moment, Ichigo Kurosaki only wants to fight and kill, to vent the violent power that emerges from his instinct.
Fighting and retreating, wandering around, there is no need to plan deliberately, the route to cut off the enemy and the suitable ambush points will naturally appear in the mind, there is no need to think about it, the means of counterattack will come easily. Ichigo Kurosaki was beaten up by fighters. Although no one came to his aid, many people paid attention to him. Urahara Kisuke was one of them. At this moment, he was holding a monocular telescope, looking at Ichigo Kurosaki's figure, and smiled meaningfully: "Oh, the so-called purity of fighters is really a scary thing." In Urahara Kisuke's opinion, at this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo, from a rookie who had just awakened his power, had gradually become an extremely dangerous beast. He had no thoughts or wants, and wanted nothing else but to fight and kill. He turned the cruelty and brutality flowing from his instincts into hunting techniques, and regarded the entire city as his hunting ground, galloping recklessly and hunting selflessly. Although his hunting skills are still a bit immature, his fighting power is indeed not low. Anyone who approaches Kurosaki Ichigo with hostility will be devoured by him. Urahara Kisuke looked at it for a while, then said to himself, "But, won't there be problems if this continues? The so-called purity, if I'm not mistaken, is clearly hollowing, right?" A divine voice from the sky then descended: "Don't worry, Ichigo Kurosaki will be fine. The so-called purity is not as simple as becoming a hollow." After defeating a fighter with a strong blow, Ichigo Kurosaki paid the price of taking a few punches from the back and then broke out.
