As an excellent teacher, Gao Yu naturally had to master the subjects he taught to the extreme.
Under the influence of this state BUFF, Gao Yu was still very sensitive to the spiritual power around him.
On his way back, he sensed a faint spiritual pressure from a Hollow.
He looked around; it was already dusk, and by the time he returned to Seireitei, he would basically be off duty.
To be targeted by a Hollow at this time was just too unlucky.
Gao Yu pretended there was no Hollow and continued forward, but his mind was already figuring out how to deal with it.
If it was an ordinary Hollow, he could handle it.
But if it was a Menos Grande…
It would be impossible to win using only Shinigami combat methods.
Then he could only rely on the Souls Ability he had recently acquired.
The abilities he could use right now were Ultimate Defense and Destructive Death Ray; he hoped the opponent was a bird-shaped Hollow, as he could then use Kira's bird killer ability.
The opponent should be an intelligent Hollow, currently observing his true strength, so he had to be careful when dealing with such a Hollow.
Gao Yu warned himself inwardly, and the next moment, his premonition of danger reached its peak!
A dark shadow seemed to envelop him, and having already prepared, he hurriedly used Shunpo to appear in front.
Reappearing, he regained his composure and looked at the Hollow.
It was a Hollow somewhat resembling a spider; its four limbs crawled on the ground, and its back had red fleshy tendrils, or perhaps tentacles.
This appearance made Gao Yu's heart skip a beat; why did this guy look so much like Metastacia?
Metastacia was a Hollow with the ability to make Zanpakuto disappear, and it could also perform spiritual body fusion, making it a very dangerous Hollow.
In a few years, Shiba Kaien, the Vice-Captain of the Thirteenth Division, would be spiritually fused by him and eventually die by Rukia's blade.
Moreover, this Hollow was a special Hollow created by Aizen's experiments!
Aizen?!
No way, why was he targeted by Aizen?
Gao Yu could only hope that this Hollow had come to him on its own; if it was intentionally released by Aizen to deal with him, wouldn't that mean Aizen had already set his sights on him?
He wanted to be friends with Aizen, but he didn't want to go now!
Hmm, according to the manga, Metastacia is a 'nesting' Hollow and generally doesn't leave its territory.
So, for him to come find him now, it might really be Aizen who guided him here.
Was it because his contact with Renji and the other two caught Aizen's attention?
This guy was too sensitive!
However, no matter what he thought internally, Gao Yu remained calm on the surface.
Maintaining a poker face, he said to the Hollow,
"This is troublesome. I'm about to get off work. Can't you come find me tomorrow morning?"
"Strange Shinigami."
Metastacia looked at Gao Yu with a strange feeling as well; in his perception, Gao Yu shouldn't have been able to dodge his previous attack.
"However, no matter what, hand over your soul!"
Metastacia roared and charged towards Gao Yu, who did not move, for he knew Metastacia's danger, and he had to achieve a one-hit kill while the Hollow didn't have him in his sights!
Otherwise, even if he could defeat him, if he activated spiritual body fusion, it would be over!
So, watching Metastacia charge, Gao Yu didn't move a single step, looking as if he was scared silly!
Metastacia himself couldn't help but laugh, saying, "What? Are you Shinigami scared silly?!"
He had originally thought he would need to activate his ability to take down this Shinigami, but he didn't expect this guy to be so weak.
He instantly opened his large mouth and bit towards Gao Yu!
Crunch!
But his bite…
It was ineffective?!
Metastacia's pupils dilated, and the next moment he felt Gao Yu's finger placed on his chin.
"Goodbye."
Gao Yu whispered,
"Destructive Death Ray."
Boom!
A black light point generated from Gao Yu's fingertip; that light point was extremely compressed, and the next moment it formed a light beam about the thickness of a thumb!
Chirp!
The light beam instantly pierced through Metastacia's brain, from bottom to top, all the way through, as if it shot up to the highest point of the sky!
"You…"
Metastacia's mouth was wide open, but he could no longer speak; although Hollows possessed Super High Speed Regeneration, Super High Speed Regeneration was not omnipotent.
If the brain and heart were destroyed, regeneration was impossible.
The Destructive Death Ray released by Gao Yu in that instant was fast, accurate, and ruthless; with the enhancement of the 'Strict Teacher Produces Outstanding Students' ability, he instantly judged the weakness of a Hollow like Metastacia.
Because its body was close to alien, the position of the heart was hard to find, but the position of the brain was very easy to determine.
As long as his brain was destroyed, he would be dead for sure!
Gao Yu would not give him a chance to activate his ability to make his Zanpakuto disappear, nor would he give him a chance to activate spiritual body fusion!
"Seriously…"
Gao Yu sighed softly, looking at Metastacia who had fallen to the ground.
"I don't want to fight."
After speaking, he turned around and continued walking towards Seireitei.
To deal with this guy, he not only used Destructive Death Ray but also 'Ultimate Defense' which he got from Hinamori. Damn it, he couldn't be so wasteful next!
Thinking of this, Gao Yu wanted to speed up his return, but considering that Aizen might be secretly observing him, he repeatedly warned himself in his heart.
Pay attention to style, pay attention to style, pay attention to style!
If you don't have style, Aizen won't care about you!
If you want to gain Aizen's favorability, being a sycophant definitely won't work; Aizen wouldn't look favorably upon a fawning sycophant.
He had already figured it out: to gain Aizen's favorability, he first needed to get Aizen to notice him.
How to get Aizen to notice you?
You don't necessarily have to appear exceptionally strong.
You can also appear exceptionally mysterious!
Given Aizen's personality, he wouldn't immediately resort to torture to ask who you are; he would believe everything was under his control, and then slowly enjoy the game of unearthing your secrets.
Let him dig, let him dig slowly; the more he digs, the more likely he is to gain his favorability.
When the time is right, and he has enough capital to converse with Aizen…
He would then reveal his cards and say, "Oh, what a coincidence, you also play… uh, you also dislike the Soul King, I feel the same, let's go to the Soul King Palace together and seize that bird's throne!"
The effect then would definitely be better than if he directly went to fawn over Aizen… probably.
Therefore, Gao Yu, as if nothing had happened, returned to Anlin An at his usual speed, passed through the White Road Gate, and re-entered Seireitei.
