Fortunately, Lucas had already mastered Reishi Manipulation, so weakening his punches was not a difficult task.
In the manga, Chad never had the time to train.
That he could learn to freely activate his Fullbring and unleash attacks of immense power in just a few days was impressive on its own.
And that was all thanks to Yoruichi training him.
Without her, he would not have even known how to switch it on.
Since Lucas already knew how to manipulate reishi, it took him less than an hour to cut the power of his punches down to a tenth.
Furthermore, he sealed his spiritual power completely inside his arm, no longer releasing shockwaves.
That way his consumption dropped while the power barely did.
He also learned to use the late-stage form of the Brazo Derecha de Gigante.
In the manga, once Chad arrived in Hueco Mundo, he would form the shield with the arm, gather spiritual power behind it, and use the propulsion of that energy to make his punches even more powerful.
Lucas had now mastered that technique.
He gathered spiritual power behind his arm and turned it into a thruster, driving his fist forward.
Combined with his own raw strength, the power was far greater than a shockwave.
“I’m starting to think that calling you a monster is an understatement.”
Watching the man cut his output and develop a new technique in under an hour, Uryū really wanted to know what he had been eating growing up.
Was there any need to be this ridiculous?
“Isn’t this just something anyone with hands can do?”
Lucas joked, taking in the envious look on his face.
Uryū rolled his eyes.
“If it’s just something you do with hands, does that mean I should chop mine off?”
“Forget it. Talent like yours is impossible to envy. You can come train here in the future if you want.”
He shook his head as he said it.
Having a friend like this meant getting discouraged on a regular basis, but it was still much better than being alone.
Even though Uryū usually came across as aloof, he was genuinely good to his friends.
Once he recognized someone, he would truly be willing to take a blade for them.
Look no further than Kuchiki Rukia.
Uryū walked into the Soul Society itself to save her.
Back when he went to save people, he already knew how strong those Shinigami were. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
Even Ichigo, who could match him or was perhaps slightly stronger, had been taken out in a single move.
The Soul Society was full of powerhouses like that.
And even so, Uryū was willing to go in.
Even while using the sanrei glove, right up until he lost his power, he was still thinking about saving Rukia.
He was the type of person who would give his heart and soul for his friends.
That was exactly why Lucas was willing to become friends with him.
“Then thank you, Ishida.”
Lucas expressed his thanks, and the two of them headed back into the city and found a restaurant.
“By the way, Sado, prepare yourself over the next few days. Your strength isn’t weak anymore, but you’ve never fought an enemy before, so I plan to have you try fighting a Hollow.”
Uryū voiced the thought while they ate.
Training alone and actual combat were two completely different things.
He still remembered the scene when his grandfather first took him out to fight a Hollow.
Even though his strength had not been weak, and was completely sufficient to handle one, when he truly faced an enemy he had still been flustered.
So he felt it was necessary for Lucas to learn how a real fight went.
“A Hollow? That’s the creature similar to an evil spirit you mentioned, right? No problem, you arrange it.”
Lucas was eager to try.
He knew perfectly well that fighting a Hollow was inevitable.
Karakura Town was not a peaceful place, after all.
And the most crucial point was that he wanted to see whether fighting a Hollow could accelerate the activation of his left arm.
The Brazo Izquierda del Diablo required the power of a Hollow.
He could not go to Hueco Mundo right now, and would not dare to.
But perhaps fighting a Hollow would work as well?
“You don’t need to worry. The Hollow you face won’t be strong. For you, a single punch will easily solve it. The main thing is not to get scared the first time you see one.”
As long as it was not a Menos Grande, Uryū could handle it himself, let alone Lucas, whose destructive power on a normal showing was such that even a Menos Grande might not withstand it.
Over the next few days, Lucas went out to Uryū’s training ground every day, and reorganized his whole training program.
His physical conditioning had surged once again with the awakening of his Fullbring.
On the subject of that physique, Uryū said he did not even want to bother expressing envy anymore.
Moreover, for all that his conditioning had skyrocketed, the muscle was not bulky.
He did not look like those muscular guys at the gym.
On the contrary, it sat compact and packed with explosive power.
Slightly looser clothes were enough to hide it completely.
The physical training was not redundant, either.
If he had not opened his limiter, Lucas would have poured all his energy into raising his spiritual power alone.
But with the limiter open, his physical conditioning had no upper limit.
Given time, he could hold power as terrifying as Saitama’s.
Uryū came out to train as well.
The reason he planned to wait a few days before arranging the battle was mainly to let Lucas grow more familiar with his own abilities.
But after a few days, Uryū discovered that the man was simply a training fiend.
Every day he was either training or on his way to train.
Watching a prodigy like that work so hard, Uryū found himself motivated too.
He had been working hard before, of course, but he definitely could not reach this level.
The main reason was the lack of pressure, and so the lack of drive.
If someone had told him right then that his grandfather had been killed by Kurotsuchi Mayuri, Uryū would likely have become a training fiend himself.
Lucas worked this hard partly because he knew the plot, so getting stronger was necessary.
And on the other hand, because he knew his limiter was open and there was no upper limit.
He really enjoyed the feeling of getting stronger every minute and every second.
That feeling made it impossible to stop.
Driven along by him, Uryū threw himself into training as well, though he did not use the sanrei glove.
In his understanding, once that thing came off he would lose his power.
So unless it was a last resort, he would not touch it.
