Boundless desert, clear skies for miles.
Suddenly, a dazzling flash of white light streaked by, as if the scorching air itself was torn apart in an instant!
Ding—
A clear, resonant sword hum spread in all directions!
Immediately after, the white light flashed again, rapidly returning from afar.
Finally, it transformed into a silver-glinting short blade, held firmly in the hand of a brown-haired youth dressed in black.
"Ten years... I've finally mastered Bankai..."
Seizing the silver blade in his hand, Kyo's gaze shone brightly, a faint smile forming on his lips.
This blade was named 'Shinso'.
In the world of Bleach, it was the Zanpakuto of the genius Captain of the Third Division, Ichimaru Gin, and also the longest and fastest Zanpakuto in all of Soul Society.
Long-range sniping, close-combat sweeping… it excelled at everything, a true treasure among Zanpakuto.
And today, Kyo had finally fully grasped its ultimate secret, Bankai: 'Kamishini no Yari'!
Ten years.
Ten whole years had passed since he had transmigrated here.
Back then, he had woken up in the desert. The moment he opened his eyes, he immediately bound a system called 'The Hollow King'.
Shortly after, he rapidly acquired his initial Spiritual Pressure, along with this sole, uniquely locked Zanpakuto: Shinso.
Though he didn't understand the situation at first, seeing these elements from Bleach, and connecting them to the surrounding wasteland, he immediately made a judgment—
This place was most likely 'Hueco Mundo' from the world of Bleach!
A world filled with danger!
Here, countless brutal Hollows roamed, endlessly slaughtering and devouring each other.
The mere Spiritual Pressure of a Menos-class existence could cause weaker beings to have their souls shattered and die on the spot!
Gazing at the endless desert around him, Kyo naturally felt somewhat unsettled.
But right then, the system suddenly told him that by simply staying within the system's initial training ground, he could avoid attacks from the outside world.
Hearing this, Kyo was, of course, overjoyed.
Having finally transmigrated once, he didn't want to become a Menos's meal right away.
So he chose to play it safe.
He absolutely would not leave until he was invincible!
And now, ten years had passed. His Zanpakuto proficiency had successfully reached 100%, and he had completely mastered Bankai.
At this point, his level of development with Kamishini no Yari was certainly not inferior to that of Ichimaru Gin himself.
"Ten years really do fly by..."
Kyo chuckled softly, sheathing the Kamishini no Yari in his hand, then looked towards the void.
"System, open the status screen."
[Ding.]
A crisp prompt sound rang out, and then a water-blue, illusory interface instantly unfolded before his eyes.

Seeing this, a smile appeared in Kyo's eyes.
During these ten years, besides training in Bankai, he certainly hadn't been idle.
The system had a function called 'Survival Rewards'. Every ten days he survived, he could draw some special rewards from the system.
Now, his Swordsmanship and Hakuda had reached the Proficient level, while his Hoho and Kido had both reached the Excellent level.
It could be said that aside from his Spiritual Pressure being a bit weak, in other aspects, he was already in no way inferior to any ordinary Captain.
"I wonder when I'll be able to draw a reward that boosts Spiritual Pressure again..."
Kyo looked at the system panel and couldn't help but sigh emotionally.
However, just at that moment…
Suddenly…
The appearance of a voice directly interrupted his thoughts.
"My, my... that light that shot out just now, was it caused by your blade?"
"Heh, looks like you're a pretty good specimen, aren't you?"
