Renji looked at Ichigo with a murderous gaze and said in a low voice:
"I don't know what kind of emergency Rukia faced that required her to give her Shinigami powers to you!"
"But I know that as long as I cut you down, I can correct her mistake! Atone for her sin!"
"Brat, even though you're only 15, you're still a man! Rukia has committed a grave crime. If you're a man, don't hide behind her!!!"
"Of course!" Facing Renji's killing intent, Ichigo smiled. "If you can, you are welcome to take back this Shinigami power!"
"Heh!" Upon hearing this, Renji showed a brutal and sinister expression.
He smiled a humorless smile and said, "Oh, quite confident, aren't you, brat? Relying on that Lieutenant-level Reiryoku of yours?"
"But listen, brat, you've been a Shinigami for less than a month. You should know this: among Lieutenants, there are also differences!"
Roaring, Abarai Renji stepped forward, his Reiatsu Field pressing down fiercely!
Ichigo responded in kind. The Reiatsu of the two Lieutenants surged, like two storms clashing against each other!
At the center where the Reiatsu rubbed against each other, grass, soil, trees… everything was crushed by the intensely opposing masses!
Watching this scene, the live stream audience was shocked.
"Wow, when I used to read fantasy novels, I often saw descriptions where someone releases their aura, and the opponent is immediately pressed down, or even vomits blood and dies."
"I always thought that was exaggerated, just for dramatic effect."
"But I never expected that in a fantasy world, aura really can crush someone to death!"
"Makes sense. The concept of Reiatsu is very similar to water pressure. There are water molecules in water, and there are Reishi in the air. You can think of this world as being underwater."
"Then, when Reishi is released, you're forced to the depths of the water, subjected to the water pressure. Does that make it easier to understand?"
"Whoa, awesome explanation, big shot!"
Having watched the stream for so long, the audience already understood the concepts of Reiatsu, Reiryoku, and Reishi.
But while the expert was explaining, the confrontation on the field continued.
And it was intensifying!
As Renji and Ichigo gradually increased the pressure and slowly entered combat stance, gripping their swords...
At the very center of their Reiatsu Fields, even the air couldn't exist, torn into an impossible vacuum state!
If Inuyasha were here, he would probably be ecstatic and come slash a Wind Scar.
But Inuyasha wasn't here, Rukia was.
Watching the two about to start a fierce fight, Rukia grew anxious. She first shouted at Renji:
"Renji! Giving Shinigami powers to a human is my fault! All the blame is mine! Ichigo is innocent! Take me back and let him go!"
Then Rukia looked at Ichigo: "Ichigo, you can't win against Renji! I'll take responsibility for this matter! Stop!"
As she spoke, Rukia started running. She wanted to go directly to the center of the clashing Reishi Fields to stop their fight.
Hearing Rukia's extremely blunt words, Renji's expression twisted for an instant.
Ichigo also showed an amused expression.
Renji drew his sword against Ichigo for Rukia's sake.
Ichigo was also opposing Renji for Rukia's sake, and he believed he was not inferior.
Rukia trying to mediate like this was simply adding fuel to the already intense situation!
So Ichigo found it quite amusing, 'Rukia was still too straightforward at this point.'
The moment before Renji could act, Ichigo moved first.
"Bakudo #9, Horin!"
From Ichigo's fingertips, yellow, rope-like Reishi were released!
Under Rukia's shocked gaze, these Reishi spiraled, binding her hands and feet. The powerful force directly pulled her back and tied her to a large tree!
Looking at Rukia, Ichigo said:
"Rukia, you really don't understand men at all."
"This Renji is fighting me for your sake, and so am I!"
"So, stop saying foolish things like 'I'll bear all the consequences'!"
"And also, with men, you can't say they 'can't do it'! Remember that, Rukia!"
"..."
Being scolded by Ichigo, Rukia's expression was one of shock.
Watching this scene, the bullet comments also started messing around, adding subtitles like 'Dominant Wife-Training Scene!' and 'Educating the New Wife!'.
Simultaneously, Abarai Renji's expression became strange.
He never expected that the one who understood him best would be that 15-year-old brat opposite him!!!
