Bleach: I'm picking up attributes in Seireitei

Time flies, and the soul burial internship is just around the corner.

Haiyan looked visibly haggard.

When Haiyan saw Wang Xun on campus today, her eyes were noticeably evasive.

"Senior Wang Xun, shall we continue today...?"

"Haiyan, how can you, a grown man, act so coy?"

"No, senior, I've been practicing at such a high intensity these past few days, I really can't take it anymore... How about we take a break?"

Haiyan looked exhausted; he really hadn't expected Wang Xun to have so much energy.

Looking at Haiyan's seemingly hollowed-out appearance, Wang Xun felt a rare, slight pang of conscience.

These days, he's really been taking advantage of Haiyan quite a bit.

As the system notifications kept refreshing, Wang Xun could clearly feel himself steadily becoming stronger.

The resonance of the Zanpakuto also slowly but steadily climbed towards a higher percentage through continuous practical training and the increase in spiritual pressure.

The internship on soul burial in the present world will begin the day after tomorrow.

Preparations are almost complete.

Wang Xun patted Haiyan on the shoulder.

"You've worked hard these past few days, Haiyan. Take a good rest these next couple of days."

"When I get back from my internship at the Soul Burial Center, I'll treat you to something nice at Ichiraku Ramen. Our new yakitori is really good."

"Thank you for your understanding, senior. To be honest, you have improved a lot. Now, I am already finding it a bit difficult to spar with you."

Haiyan visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

After seeing off Haiyan, who felt as if she had been granted a pardon, Wang Xun opened the control panel.

Name: Wang Xun

Spirit Might: Rank 8 (Experience: 80/8000)

Kendo: lv4 (Experience: 120/5000)

White-collar: lv4 (Experience: 85/5000)

Instant Step: lv4 (Experience: 70/5000)

Ghost Path: lv3 (Experience: 1880/3000)

Zanpakuto: Shallow Strike Resonance 98%

[Special Ability]

Blur: lv1 (Experience: 10/1000)

Hogyoku (Awakening Level: 0.05%)

Now, Wang Xun's basic skills, except for Ghost Path, have all reached level 4.

This means that, apart from Kido, his mastery of any skill is comparable to that of a seasoned senior officer in the Gotei 13.

The level of spiritual power has also broken through to the eighth level.

As his spiritual power level increased, the resonance of his shallow strikes also became higher.

Perhaps he will soon be able to unleash his Zanpakuto and achieve Shikai.

Unfortunately, after the skill level reached level 4, the experience gained from sparring with Haiyan began to decrease, making it much less efficient.

This level of improvement is the limit he could achieve by exploiting Haiyan during this period.

I just hope that this soul burial internship won't encounter any unforeseen circumstances that I can't handle, and that I can get through it smoothly.

The final preparations for the soul burial internship are underway.

The previous group assignments have already been released, and this time I was actually assigned to the same group as Nanao.

Wang Xun met up with his two companions on this trip, Ise Nanao and Harada Heita, at the agreed-upon classroom.

Harada Heita is an ordinary-looking, introverted, but hardworking fifth-grader. However, he is not very strong and has always been at the bottom of the rankings.

Upon seeing Wang Xun, he nodded politely, though somewhat reserved.

Seeing his behavior, it's obvious he's from Rukongai and used to being ostracized by the noble students in his class.

Qi Xu was already in work mode, taking out a small notebook to record the location of this soul burial and some basic information.

"This is the activity area that our group has reserved."

She pushed up her glasses and looked at Wang Xun and Harada.

"The process is the same as before: a one-day soul burial internship. We operate at night and return at dawn."

"I'm very familiar with the normal soul burial process. After that, it's just a matter of guiding the younger generation."

"If we encounter a Hollow, Wang Xun, you have the strongest overall strength, so you'll hold it off from the front. Harada, you'll provide support from the rear using Kido. I'll be responsible for reconnaissance, early warning, and support on the flanks. As for the three Third-Generation Recruits..."

"We need clear instructions to put them in charge of relatively safe flank and rear guard duty, and absolutely not to let them out of sight or act on their own."

After Qi Xu finished speaking, Wang Xun nodded approvingly.

Qixu is indeed very skilled at handling these paperwork tasks.

"I agree, Harada, what do you think?"

Harada looked a little nervous.

"What Ise-kun said is very comprehensive, and I agree with it."

"it is good."

Wang Xun gave a final summary.

"Nanao's arrangements are very reasonable. We are a team, and we will look out for each other. Remember Hasegawa-sensei's words: safety first, mission second. In case of any abnormality, prioritize ensuring the safety of the third-year students."

The three of them carefully checked the equipment list again.

Each person was provided with a shallow bag, dry rations and water, a makeshift communication device, and a regional map...

After the preparations were completed, Harada left first, leaving only Wang Xun and Nanao in the classroom.

Qi Xu raised her head and looked at Wang Xun.

"I didn't expect we'd actually be in the same group."

"Yeah, I don't know if it will go smoothly."

"How's training with Haiyan going lately?"

Qi Xu looked at Wang Xun. Although Wang Xun didn't show it much, she could sense the weariness hidden beneath his relaxed expression.

Seeing the concern in Qi Xu's eyes, Wang Xun felt a warmth in his heart.

"It's nothing, I just need to rest for a couple of days. Speaking of which, thanks to Haiyan, I've become quite a bit stronger."

"I will protect you all during this real-world internship."

Qi Xu nodded slightly, then her eyes showed a hint of suspicion.

"Speaking of which, you and that girl from the Shiba family..."

"I'm so hungry, is it almost time to eat?"

Wang Xun touched his stomach and made a lightning-fast escape.

Qi Xu watched Wang Xun's retreating figure and could only sigh softly, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

On the day of departure, at the central plaza of the Shinigami Academy.

More than a hundred students stood in neat rows, the new students filled with curiosity and excitement about their upcoming journey into the real world.

The high school graduates who were involved in guiding the internships, on the other hand, looked much more serious.

Wang Xun stood in the middle of the group, with Qi Xu on his left, looking focused.

On the right is Harada Heita, who looks slightly nervous but is trying to straighten his back.

Behind them stood three third-time test takers: Yoshida, Kobayashi, and Sato, both excited and nervous.

Their eyes kept glancing at the backs of the three senior students ahead.

The teacher in charge of guidance, Hasegawa, stood at the front of the group. He was tall and strong, with sharp eyes that swept over every young face.

"Is everyone here?"

His voice was loud and clear, drowning out all the subtle noises.

"Let me reiterate the key points of this internship."

"First, safety. This world is not Seireitei, nor is it an amusement park. Hollows are dangerous, posing a threat that devours souls. Everyone must obey orders absolutely and must not act without authorization."

"Secondly, the mission. The primary objective is to guide wandering souls back to the Soul Society and purify the area. Each person must complete at least three Soul Burials to be considered qualified."

"Third, cooperation. You are not lone wolves. You are in groups of three, with a senior leader leading the way. You must act as each other's eyes and ears. When you encounter a weakness, assess the risk, prioritize containment, avoidance, and seeking help! Recklessness and unauthorized pursuit are prohibited. The communication devices in your hands are not just for show."

He paused, and his voice reached everyone's ears.

"Finally, remember your identities. You are the elite of the True Spiritual Arts Academy, the future Grim Reapers."

"During this internship, you not only need to complete your tasks, but also protect the younger colleagues behind you, the companions around you, and others!"

"Protect yourselves! Do you all understand?!"

"clear!!!"

The students' voices echoed throughout the square.

Wang Xun took a deep breath and placed his hand on the shallow belt at his waist.

The spiritual light of the interdimensional gate began to flow, and a vortex leading to the mortal world slowly took shape.

"All groups, get ready, let's go!"
