Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: A Sword of Unknown Origin

After returning to his room, Katori Sora immediately took out the Asauchi he had received as an extra reward. After a long and careful examination, he came to a conclusion—it was just an ordinary Asauchi, exactly the same as the ones he had distributed to the students that morning.

Sora thought of a possibility. He sat cross-legged, placed the Asauchi on his lap, and immediately began Blade Meditation. He invested all the Blade Meditation experience he had obtained.

In an instant, he entered a deep state of Blade Meditation.

The Spiritual Pressure in Sora's body suddenly became extremely violent. His soul had actually connected with this newly acquired Asauchi! He clearly already had an Asauchi that he had performed Blade Meditation with, which had already become a Zanpakutō. It was just that for some unknown reason, he could not enter his inner world to communicate with it.

But now, an unprecedented situation had occurred. His soul had once again connected with another Asauchi. A brand-new Zanpakutō was about to be born!

The Spiritual Pressure in Sora's body began to surge wildly. The suddenly surging energy formed a tangible force that spread outwards, instantly enveloping the entire room. The tables, chairs, and miscellaneous items were all sent flying. The Spiritual Pressure level on his personal panel was also rapidly increasing: 32, 35, 40, 45...

Just as his power surged, the shadow behind him began to stir. Sora's shadow seemed to have come to life, writhing irregularly. Gradually, it seemed to take on a physical form, extending and condensing into the air.

"Sora! What's happening..." Batsunsai immediately sensed the commotion and rushed over.

After opening the door, a gust of Spiritual Pressure force rushed towards her. She quickly blocked the flying wood splinters. The wooden floor in the room had been torn up by the force. Batsunsai saw the sword on Sora's lap and knew that he was undergoing Blade Meditation.

She also noticed the change in Sora's shadow. He had never experienced this before. But Sora had clearly entered a deep state of meditation. Interrupting him now would very likely cause him to suffer a backlash. After hesitating for a moment, Batsunsai decided to wait and see.

Countless black lines extended from Sora's shadow, condensing into a mass in the air, its shape like a heart.

Thump, thump—

The heart, formed from black lines, suddenly began to beat.

Thump, thump— The sound grew louder and louder, like thunder.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump— The sound became faster and faster, layer upon layer, like the continuous sound of drumming.

Batsunsai covered her ears. The dull drumming sound made her dizzy, and it was even difficult for her to stand.

After a series of continuous drumming sounds, the beating of the black heart became steady. A moment later, it slowly sank into the shadow, and the thunderous beating sound also disappeared. Then, the changes in the shadow quickly vanished completely, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Batsunsai knew it was not an illusion. She felt a slight pain and itch in her ears. She touched them and found a touch of bright red blood on her fair fingers. Her eardrums had actually been injured by that terrifying beating sound! Her ears were now ringing, and she could not hear the outside world.

Sora finished his Blade Meditation session and woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a blood-stained Batsunsai. This scene made his heart pound; he thought her illness had worsened. But her mental state did not seem to be that of a worsening injury.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I can't hear!" she gestured. He saw the blood was coming from her ears.

"What's going on? How did your ears get injured?" Sora was completely unaware of what had just happened. He quickly used Kaidō to heal her ears.

"How did your ears get like this?" Sora carefully checked with his Spiritual Pressure perception and found that Batsunsai's Spiritual Core had not changed. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't you know? When you were in Blade Meditation, your shadow underwent a terrifying change!" Batsunsai recounted what she had just seen.

"My shadow changed?" Sora had been completely unaware of the outside world. He had successfully connected with that Asauchi and entered his inner world. His inner world was a bit strange; it was pitch black, but not empty. Everything in it was black. He did not see the figure of his Zanpakutō and woke up shortly after.

Although he did not see his Zanpakutō this time, successfully entering his inner world had been very rewarding. His Spiritual Pressure had increased to 52! An 11th-grade Spiritual Power! A huge improvement! A Soul Reaper undergoes a qualitative change during the three stages of Zanpakutō formation, learning Shikai, and learning Bankai. Sora's successful entry into his inner world this time allowed him to receive the feedback he should have received when his Zanpakutō was formed.

"I successfully entered my inner world during my Blade Meditation session this time," Sora said, looking at the Zanpakutō in his hand. This was the blade that had been transformed from the Asauchi from his reward. He could sense it was no longer an Asauchi but his Zanpakutō. But this meant he now had two.

"You successfully entered your inner world?" Batsunsai knew he had never been able to enter before and was happy for him. "You're actually a dual wielder. Then you can learn some dual-wielding swordsmanship," she said, assuming his original sword had transformed.

"Yes, it seems I'll have to learn dual-wielding," Sora said, not mentioning the other Asauchi, otherwise he would not be able to explain its origin.

In fact, Sora's previous Asauchi was also a sword of unknown origin. That blade was the one he had picked up at the place where he woke up after crossing over.
