"Master, I am the materialized form of your Zanpakuto."
Yukino Mifuyu said, "My name is A Yu."
Akiyama Eri said, "My name is Xiao Luo."
The two girls said in unison, "We are Yu Luo!"
Hearing the two girls' introduction, Lan Mingang only felt a pain in his kidneys.
He didn't know what to say.
With this Zanpakuto, his kidneys were in peril!
As if sensing Lan Mingang's thoughts, A Yu and Xiao Luo stepped forward and hugged Lan Mingang tightly.
They said:
"Sorry, Master, although we really want to help you fulfill your wishes, due to your current strength, we cannot materialize in the real world."
"So, please, Master, quickly become stronger!"
"A Yu (Xiao Luo) will be waiting for you."
A flash of white light later, Lan Mingang's consciousness returned to his main body.
The Zanpakuto in his hand had transformed into a black and white Yin-Yang Sword.
Yu Luo had already completed its Shikai, and it was a constantly released type.
Lan Mingang could clearly sense that if he wished, the sword in his hand could transform at any time into two identical swords, one black and one white.
"Oh no, I forgot to ask what abilities Yu Luo's Shikai has…"
"Indestructible, able to cut through anything, and replication." Yu Luo's voice echoed in Lan Mingang's mind, "It can replicate the Shikai and Bankai of any Zanpakuto it comes into contact with, and permanently retain them."
Replication, seemingly a powerful ability, was not of much use to Lan Mingang at the moment, as this wasn't "Bleach," and there were no Zanpakuto to replicate.
At this stage, only the 'indestructible' and 'able to cut through anything' abilities were useful to Lan Mingang.
Recalling Yu Luo, Lan Mingang's eyes instantly changed, transforming into a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Originally, it was a Single-Tomoe Sharingan, but after Lan Mingang completely integrated and absorbed all the rewards from the system's Newbie Pack, it automatically upgraded to a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
With the enhancement of the Sharingan, Lan Mingang could clearly see people and objects at the far end of the night.
"Not bad, it should work well with Observation Haki."
After testing the Sharingan, Lan Mingang switched it to the Byakugan.
"Byakugan, activate!"
With Lan Mingang at the center, everything within a 500-meter radius was completely visible, with nothing hidden.
"Hmm?"
"These two don't seem to be human, do they?"
Under the Byakugan's perception, Lan Mingang discovered that the energy flow within the man and woman walking towards him from three hundred meters away was significantly different from other people.
"Demons? Or Demon Slayer Corps demon hunters?"
Lan Mingang deactivated the Byakugan and quietly lay back in his seat, waiting for the man and woman.
Three minutes later, the man and woman officially entered Lan Mingang's line of sight.
After clearly seeing their appearances, Lan Mingang spoke:
"Miss Tamayo, hello!"
Faced with the sudden greeting, Tamayo was startled, looking at Lan Mingang while stepping back, quickly pulling up the kimono sleeve on her right arm, her left fingernails digging into her right arm, ready to cut it open and activate her Blood Demon Art at any moment.
Seeing this, Yushiro also stepped forward to block Tamayo, his hands transforming into claws, baring his teeth and glaring fiercely at Lan Mingang.
"Who are you? A demon or a demon hunter?" Tamayo asked cautiously.
"Must I choose one? Why can't I be an ordinary human?" Lan Mingang asked.
Ordinary human?
Tamayo didn't believe Lan Mingang's nonsense.
Not only did he know her, but he also exuded a dangerous aura.
He had nothing to do with ordinary people.
Perhaps he even knew she would come here and was deliberately waiting for her.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Lan Mingang, an ordinary human."
"I've come to ask Miss Tamayo for a favor."
With that, Lan Mingang instantly vanished from his seat.
"Where did he go?!"
Yushiro was shocked!
He looked left and right but couldn't see Lan Mingang's figure.
"You…"
Seeing Lan Mingang suddenly appear before her, Tamayo stumbled back in alarm.
Yushiro heard her and turned around, only to see that Lan Mingang had actually appeared behind him!
"Die!"
Yushiro, protective of his mistress, clawed at Lan Mingang.
Seeing this, Tamayo quickly shouted:
"Yushiro! Stop!"
Having already witnessed Lan Mingang's terrifying speed, his own strength must not be weak.
At the very least, killing her and Yushiro instantly would certainly not be a problem for him.
They absolutely could not become enemies.
Currently, Lan Mingang had not attacked her; while it was still unclear whether he was friend or foe, if Yushiro were to injure him, they would truly become enemies with no room for reversal.
Behind Lan Mingang, a gentle breeze blew, rustling his hair.
Yushiro's sharp claws stopped less than a centimeter from Lan Mingang's back.
"Lady Tamayo…"
Though confused, Yushiro still obediently halted his attack and withdrew his hand.
Having momentarily lost her composure, Tamayo tidied her appearance and said apologetically:
"Please forgive me, Lan Gongzi."
"It's fine." Lan Mingang smiled.
A mere Yushiro was not qualified to injure him.
"Lan Gongzi, what is it you need my help with?"
After witnessing Lan Mingang's power, Tamayo was also very curious if she could truly help such a strong individual.
"No rush for that. Miss Tamayo, won't you invite me in to sit down?"
Hearing that Lan Mingang wanted to go to her and Lady Tamayo's home,
Yushiro immediately felt a sense of crisis and was quite displeased.
This person has ulterior motives; he probably has designs on Lady Tamayo!
"Lady…"
Yushiro was about to remind Tamayo not to agree.
Tamayo smiled and said:
"Of course, Lan Gongzi, please follow me."
"Please."
Along the way, Yushiro vigilantly watched Lan Mingang, fearing he would do something unfavorable to Tamayo.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and they successfully arrived at Tamayo's home.
Tamayo and Yushiro's house was surrounded by Yushiro's Blood Demon Art, which reduced their presence and confused vision, making it difficult for ordinary people to discover.
But for Lan Mingang, who possessed the Byakugan, everything was clear at a glance as soon as he activated it.
In the living room on the first floor, under Tamayo's command, even though he was displeased with Lan Mingang, Yushiro had no choice but to serve him tea.
"Lan Gongzi, can you now tell me what you need my help with?"
Lan Mingang took a sip of tea and said:
"Miss Tamayo, what do you think of me?"
Tamayo frowned slightly, not immediately understanding Lan Mingang's intent.
What do you mean, 'what do I think of you'?
I'm not looking for a husband; what you're like has nothing to do with me.
"Lan Gongzi, what do you mean by this?"
"To fight Muzan Kibutsuji until dawn!" Lan Mingang smiled.
"!!!"
Tamayo was greatly shocked.
How did this person know what I was thinking?
I haven't told anyone about looking for someone who can fight Muzan Kibutsuji until dawn.
Not even Yushiro knew.
Looking at the handsome and confident young man before her, Tamayo suddenly felt that he truly possessed the ability to drag Muzan Kibutsuji until dawn.
Tamayo's expression became tense, and she said, half-believing, half-doubting:
"Can you really do it?"
