After completing his daily 'connection' tasks with the girl squad, Bai Yuetong took a quick shower and, out of habit, went to find Quilge for training.
In this fantastical world of supernatural powers, strength was everything. Understanding this, Bai Yuetong had a strict training plan to enhance his own power.
Cultivation in this world was different from typical web novels; it was more like an athlete's training. Everyone's upper limit was determined at birth, and training only helped you reach that limit faster.
Without using "enhancements," one could never naturally break through their inherent bottlenecks through training alone.
Take Hisagi Shūhei, for example. He seemed like an inspirational figure, having failed the Shin'ō Academy entrance exam twice but eventually growing strong enough to achieve Bankai. Anyone would praise him as a grassroots success.
Of course, if Hisagi hadn't enrolled in the academy and worked hard, he might have remained an unknown soul in Rukongai, never realizing his potential. His personal drive was certainly a huge factor.
After all, while Hisagi had good potential, he wasn't a natural-born genius overflowing with power like Tōshirō Hitsugaya, Kenpachi Zaraki, or Ichigo Kurosaki.
The truth is, whether a Soul Reaper can achieve Bankai is determined the moment they are born. Talent is something you either have or you don't.
It's like a container; its maximum capacity is fixed the moment it's created. To break their own limits, Aizen and Urahara chose Hollowfication—a method of shattering the container and then re-fusing it to create a new, larger one.
The risk of this crude method was that if the new boundary wasn't stabilized in time after being broken, the container itself would shatter completely, meaning the soul's annihilation.
The Soul King's power, on the other hand, could harmlessly manifest and develop others' potential, granting them more power or even reshaping their very foundation to raise their upper limits.
Among Hollows, there were special types that could evolve infinitely through consumption, growing stronger like a game of Snake.
Yhwach's method of lending and reclaiming power also allowed him to grow endlessly, similar to a special Hollow. Moreover, through the Auswählen, he could redistribute the harvested power to more useful tools, thus granting his Schutzstaffel even greater strength.
And Bai Yuetong, through his 'Share' ability and continuous connections, shared power and life with many outstanding female Quincy. In doing so, he found that his own upper limits would continuously expand, as if his potential was stacking with that of his partners.
Although his experiments showed this was temporary—if he cut off the connections, his inflated potential would drop back to its original level—he also made a crucial discovery. If he trained hard while his potential was temporarily inflated, even if he later broke the connection, his power and potential wouldn't decrease. He would have genuinely become stronger and raised his own ceiling.
Therefore, upon discovering this, Bai Yuetong went into a frenzy. On one hand, he cast aside all restraint and shyness, becoming the Wandenreich's biggest stud, seducing as many female Quincy as he could.
On the other hand, he subjected himself to rigorous training after each connection, quickly converting the temporarily inflated potential into real, tangible power, truly raising his own strength and limits.
…
"You have mastered every existing Quincy technique, and you have long since surpassed me. There is nothing left for me to teach you. In fact, when it comes to optimizing Blut parameters, I should be asking you for advice," Quilge said with sincere admiration. "Putting aside your... questionable lifestyle, in terms of fundamental Quincy skills, you are the most solid I have ever seen."
"No, I am still far from perfect in the fundamentals," Bai Yuetong shook his head. "Instructor, your 'The Jail' has the highest Reishi absorption and control capability among all Quincy. My goal is to elevate my Reishi manipulation to its absolute limit, to achieve the 'Absolute Dominion' of Sklaverei, even without activating my Vollständig. And in terms of effect, I intend to surpass your 'The Jail'."
The essence of Quilge's Vollständig, Biskiel ("The Justice" was a mistranslation in the text, it should be "The Jail"), was its supreme ability to capture and control Reishi.
"You've got some nerve, kid. That's not a level you can reach just by training," Quilge's eyebrow twitched. If he could still beat Bai Yuetong, he would have loved to ramp up the intensity of their training. But all he could do now was adjust his glasses and take a deep breath to calm himself.
"Where there's a will, there's a way. I believe that hard work will not betray me."
Bai Yuetong had faith in his cheating methods.
After all, he could see the positive feedback, and it was very direct. For him, at this moment, hard work truly did pay off.
"That's enough training for today. I heard you want to join the Hueco Mundo hunting party?" Quilge asked, seeming to recall something.
"You know my ability. I want to try it with a female Arrancar," Bai Yuetong stated bluntly.
"That's… difficult to comment on," Quilge's pupils contracted in shock. Then, with a look of disgust, he said, "Even if it's for greater power, is such a sacrifice necessary? What if you don't get stronger and just end up horribly sick?"
Bai Yuetong's indiscriminate taste made Quilge feel nauseous. To him, Bai Yuetong's ideas and preferences were beyond bizarre; they were disgusting.
It was like a normal person watching someone from a developed nation getting intimate with a wild beast—it was mentally and physically repulsive. If the Hollows of Hueco Mundo were analogous to inferior beings in a concentration camp, then Quilge was a Nazi officer. Thus, he found it very difficult to comment on Bai Yuetong's shameless degradation of his own status.
But he also understood that Bai Yuetong's ultimate goal was power, so he could勉强 understand.
"Quincy have no 'immunity' to Hollows. A Hollow's power is poison to us," Bai Yuetong began, his voice firm.
"But I was not born a Quincy. I was originally an ordinary person with no spiritual talent. It was only by His Majesty's grace that I was given power and became a Quincy later in life. So, I want to try. Perhaps I can be the exception."
