4 Spirit Beast

11:00 PM

Karakura Neighborhood

Chouji and Yon already had their dinner together. They are now going to try and find out if Yon is compatible with any spirit beast. Currently, Yon was contemplating about what he found earlier today while sitting on a lotus position.

No one around the neighborhood was awake except for the Kurosaki household where both Masaki and Isshin were still awake in the living room.

Now that both lost their powers, they could no longer protect their family from the supernatural the way they want to. Their only hope of protection was a crazy guy with a fan.

Although Urahara was already working on returning Isshin's power, it will take some time for it to be completed. Then why not have Masaki ride on the same bus too.

If the attack yesterday didn't happen, they might have not gone think about it much. But the consequences of not being able to protect their children when a situation arises woke them up.

Any parents who went through the same scenario they did would do the same thing if not more to ensure their children's safety.

Tokisawa Residence

Yon was in deep thought. 'I was right! Inscriptions were derived from the way spirit energy flow through the meridians!'

'After checking grandfather's meridians earlier today I also checked mine. I have more meridians opened than him. Specifically, because of the eight extraordinary meridians that were opened upon breaking through xiantian realm.'

'But grandfather didn't even open all 12 ordinary meridians and only has 9 of them opened. I don't know how to help him on opening them. What should I do?'

"Yon, it's time. Let's find out if you're compatible with any spirit beast." Chouji said waking Yon from his deep thought.

"Yes, Jisan." Yon picked up an inscription tag he prepared a while ago. Chouji wasn't even doubtful of Yon's inscriptions. He was able to check it earlier when Yon started writing them. And it was like a photocopy of what's written in the book. No doubt his grandson will be an exorcist unlike anybody in the history of exorcists.

Yon channeled his spirit energy to the inscription tag he was pinching with his index and middle finger. Once the inscriptions lit up, he threw it to the ground as instructed in the guidebook he read.

That was a summoning tag for ancient spirit beasts. Why? Well, if he was going to have a spirit beast as a familiar, why endure having a normal or wild spirit beast when there was an ancient and mythical spirit beasts? That was according to his sense of reasoning.

The spell was invoked and ancient spirit beasts that were in deep slumber awoke from Yon's call. The silence of the night became heavier but wasn't felt by ordinary people around them.

It was only Masaki and Isshin who were still awake that was able to feel it. Although both lost their powers, the heavy feeling was just too familiar to them.

"T- these feeling!" Masaki said in panic while rushing towards Ichigo's room while Isshin went towards the twin's room to check on them.

Chouji was observing with a serious face.

'Compatibility, it was a term used by the exorcist clan as their ability to call out spirit beasts that aligns with the exorcist's nature, personality, behavior or luck.'

'Each exorcist has different types of spirit energy too. There is calm spirit energy, kind, chaotic, destructive, charming, intense, cautious and more.'

'According to the very first summoner of a mythical spirit beast. This was how summoning works as explained to him by the fire dragon that he made a contract with.'

'So how is a nine-year-old kid compatible with three ancient spirit beasts on his first try? What kind of spirit energy does he possess?'

In front of Yon or better yet at the back of Tokisawa residence were spirit beasts that answered Yon's call. A giant snake's head was staring down from the left, in the center was a lizard's head except it has wings, and on the right was a towering creature made of rock taller than any house around them. If not for the fact that it was a spirit beast, any normal human seeing it right now would panic.

"H- how… how is he able to call out a basilisk, a wyvern and a golem all at once!" sounded the shaking and confused voice of Chouji. However yon, was too calm and focused on the three creatures in front of him to be bothered by his grandfather.

"Now then, time to tame me a spirit beast!" Yon picked up three inscription tags for forming a contract with 100 % domination over the spirit beasts. Why? According to his reasoning, why form a contract with a familiar you can't even control? If he was going to have one, he might as well have complete control over them. That way he can make them do anything he wants anytime and anywhere in his convenience.

He activated the inscriptions the same way as earlier then threw them towards the spirit beast. Upon making contact the spirit beasts growled altogether as if unsatisfied by Yon's treatment.

Yon who saw this didn't like their reaction and raised his riatsu. He focused it only to the three spirit beasts in front of him. Releasing his cultivation at the peak of late 1st order xiantian realm and putting pressure on the spirit beasts.

"If you're not going to become mine, I might as well devour all three of you." Yon's eyes were glowing red in color in the eyes of the spirit beasts, and they were struck with fear of getting devoured by this seemingly fragile child.

In fact, it was because of Yon's appearance as a weak kid that they protested to be under complete dominance. But now that they felt his prowess, it would be a loss not to be under him.

After all, this was not the first time they were called out. There were others that called them before. Some they accepted and died after a century while some they didn't even bother to answer the call due to how weak the caller was.

The three ancient spirit beasts instantly became docile and didn't fight back against the contract Yon formed with them. As soon as the contract was done, all 3 spirit beast disappeared leaving three inscription tags on the ground.

Yon picked them up with his grandfather staring at him as if Yon himself was an ancient spirit beast if not more, maybe a mythical spirit beast?

'Wait, he's not planning to try and call a mythical spirit beast, is he?' Chouji stared at his grandchild with incredulous look and let Yon just do what he wants.

Yon then gave himself some time to think before trying out the calling a mythical spirit beast.

'It seems that my appearance as a kid makes them think that I'm weak. I will have to release my riatsu the moment a spirit beast appears.'

Yon picked up another inscription tag to call out mythical spirit beast. This time instead of infusing his spirit energy normally, he releases his riatsu altogether.

'2 years ago, when I first came to this world, I might have been just a weakling. But not anymore, I have already reached the second realm of cultivation.!' Yon increased his riatsu to maximum as soon as the inscription lit up and he threw it to the ground.

Earlier when Yon called out ancient spirit beasts in deep slumber the night became heavier. This time not only was it heavier, but even thunder clouds were also forming in the once calm skies. Lightning soon sparked and the roar of thunder followed.

Soon wind was blowing at the same time as the sound of wings flapping. As the sound was getting near so did the wind blow became stronger. An enormous bird wrapped in lightning came down from the skies. Its wingspan was enough to cover three houses if not more.

"L- l- lightning Roc!" Exclaimed Chouji. 'The mythical spirit beast that formed a contract with the 7th clan head!'

The lightning Roc settled down on the ground near Yon and looked at him as if sizing him up. Yon's spiritual riatsu was on full throttle as if to show he was not a pushover like those ancient beasts earlier mistaken him to be. Pride was written all over his face.

"Human child. Don't be too full of yourself. Even your previous clan head was not fit to befriend me. And here you are acting as if you can completely dominate me?!!!" The lightning Roc became furious toward Yon's attitude as it also released its own spiritual pressure.

Chouji who was only a bystander felt this and immediately slumped to the ground. Even both Isshin and Masaki was not spared. And further away on a very ordinary shop. A guy with green hat and a muscled man with mustache and apron on both felt the pressure coming from the lightning Roc.

The ordinary human beings around them were not affected even a little by this huge pressure that seems to make all spiritual beings/creatures around Karakura Town submit to this mythical spirit beast.

Vizards, Fullbringers and Quincys alike within the area of Karakura Town or near them were all able to feel it. A spiritual pressure that wasn't felt for a long time in 400 years was felt even in the secret headquarters of the exorcist clan. They haven't felt this kind of spiritual pressure before since the 7th Clan Head was able to form a contract with the lightning Roc.
