Bleach: I'm picking up attributes in Seireitei

"What are your thoughts on that Shiba Kaien?"

During a casual chat by the roadside after dinner, Qixu suddenly asked a question.

"genius."

Wang Xun's reaction was indifferent.

"Really? But you weren't surprised at all when you saw the test results."

"That's true, after all... his surname is Shiba."

As he spoke, Wang Xun yawned.

"Even a fallen noble family is still a noble family, let alone a once great noble family. It's not surprising that family members have such qualities."

"I feel like he doesn't even need teachers at school to teach him anything. His family's tradition alone is enough to provide him with a good education. Coming to the True Spiritual Arts Academy might just be a formality. Do you believe me?"

"uh-huh..."

Qi Xu hummed softly.

She had read many books about the history of Soul Society and had also learned about it in class, so she naturally knew some of the rumors about the five noble families.

Although they are now one of the four great noble families.

She gazed at the setting sun gradually sinking below the horizon, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

This is her fifth year of school, and she still hasn't been able to turn the Asauchi assigned to her by the Spirit Arts Academy into her own Zanpakuto.

As for choosing a team after graduation, they had no clue what to do.

Despite possessing extraordinary talent in the Kido (Demon Path), can she successfully become a Shinigami (Demon God) without awakening her Zanpakuto (Soul Blade)...?

A large hand pressed down on her head, interrupting her thoughts.

"Alright, don't overthink it. Things will work themselves out. You've had a long day, go home and get some rest."

Seeing the smile on Wang Xun's lips, Qi Xu felt her face getting hot and turned her head to shake off the hand on her head.

"Yes, you too."

After saying that, she turned and left with the book in her arms, tilting her head slightly before leaving.

"By the way, tomorrow's your day off, are you still going to the library?"

"Go away, I haven't finished reading that book, 'On the Current State of Soul Society in the Past Three Hundred Years'."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the usual place."

Qi Xu walked away with light steps, and Wang Xun watched her go before heading towards his dormitory.

Back in his room, he slowly exhaled a long breath.

"System, open the panel."

A translucent blue light curtain unfolded before my eyes.

Name: Wang Xun

Spiritual Might: Level 10 (Experience: 2665/3000)

Kendo: lv2 (Experience: 1825/2000)

White-collar: lv2 (Experience: 1760/2000)

Instant Step: lv2 (Experience: 1695/2000)

Ghost Path: lv3 (Experience: 1450/3000)

Zanpakuto: Shallow Strike Resonance 82%

[Special Ability]

Blur: lv1 (Experience: 10/1000)

This is the attribute he has accumulated over the past four years at the Shinigami Academy.

Experience can be gained through your own training or by absorbing fragments dropped by others during their training.

The more skilled a person is, the higher the chance of dropping fragments.

Wang Xun's "Slaying Fist and Walking Ghost" skill was already among the best of the students at level 1, no weaker than ordinary team members.

At level 2, he received a significant boost, reaching a level comparable to some experienced Grim Reaper instructors who participated in the teaching.

His strongest level 3 Kido attribute, however, was barely enough to reach the level of a lower-ranking official, thanks to the boost from the Seven Threads Kido experience pack.

Looking at the various data on the panel, Wang Xun's gaze finally fell on the bottom line of text.

To blur or obscure.

It was a strange fragment that I found by chance a few months ago during a patrol internship in Rukongai.

It emitted a strange dark red luster, unlike any of the previous fragments.

At that time, he didn't know what it was, but out of trust in the system, he touched the fragment.

After that, a strange spiritual pressure appeared within his body.

The spiritual pressure of the void.

Wang Xun never tried to mobilize that spiritual pressure, nor did he actively trigger the ethereal transformation.

The emergence of Hollow powers within a Shinigami is an absolute taboo in the current Seireitei.

Even the captains of the Visored Corps who had become Hollowfied in the original work, after returning to Seireitei, basically stopped using their Hollowfied abilities in front of others.

The appearance of Shiba Kaien today, combined with the previous Hollowfied fragments, allowed Wang Xun to roughly deduce the current timeline.

Aizen's Hogyoku experiment has begun.

The already unsettled Soul Society now faces even greater danger lurking in the shadows.

More than a decade later, the momentous event that would shake the entire Seireitei would occur.

The captains all vanished and defected.

In the decades that followed, Aizen selected several students from the Spiritual Arts Academy with impeccable backgrounds and exceptional talent to train as his pawns.

Izuru Kira, Momo Hinamori, Renji Abarai.

During this period, countless Shinigami and high-level spiritual souls were crushed by Aizen and thrown into the Hogyoku.

Using the ability of Kyoka Suigetsu, Aizen covered up these events flawlessly.

Wang Xun boasted that he didn't have Hinamori Momo's HP.

He wasn't some exceptionally talented genius worthy of attention.

Therefore, the abilities he usually displays are only at the level of level 1.

They are at the bottom of the elite class, but stand out among ordinary people.

Before you have sufficient strength, try not to attract too much attention from dangerous individuals.

Outside the window, night falls in the Soul Society.

The outline of the Twin Peaks loomed in the twilight, and the lights of Seireitei lit up one by one.

The barracks of each of the 13 Gotei 13 were like silent behemoths, perched throughout the Seireitei.

Wang Xun walked to the window and looked towards the direction of the Fifth Division's barracks.

The people living there now are probably the current captain, Hirako Shinji, and the always-smiling vice-captain, Aizen Sousuke.

"There's still time."

Wang Xun spoke softly, clenching his fist.

Our current strength is far from sufficient.

However, he has a system.

As long as he can survive, he will eventually gain the strength to face any danger without fear.

Before long, several roommates returned and greeted each other.

Wang Xun closed the panel, lay on the bed, and the night passed without incident.

The next morning, Wang Xun left home early.

After having breakfast, he went to the training ground.

Some diligent students have already started practicing here.

As they moved, fragments of spiritual pressure and training insights would occasionally fall down.

Wang Xun had previously tested that these fragments could remain for several days before dissipating.

So he would come to the training ground to collect it every now and then.

He had helped with the entrance exams for new students a few days ago, and since it was his day off today, he came to the training ground as soon as possible to absorb the debris left on the ground.

Some people saw Wang Xun and greeted him.

Most of them already knew this guy who liked to wander between various training grounds.

To avoid appearing strange, Wang Xun would occasionally help replace training equipment and clean up any damage to the training area.

Therefore, he was surprisingly well-liked by teachers and students.

[Gained 15 Spirit Power Fragment, +45 Spirit Might Experience]

[Gain 2 Ghost Path Insights, Ghost Path Experience Points +10]

[Gain 9 Free Fighting Tips, +45 Free Fighting Experience]

[Gained 8 Flash Step Tips, Flash Step Experience Points +40]

[Gain 12 Kendo Insights, +60 Kendo Experience]

......

Wang Xun quickly absorbed and digested the training insights and various reflections contained in the fragments.

The proficiency in some of the less advanced skills is also steadily improving.

This feeling, directly imprinted on the body and mind, is much more enjoyable than gritting your teeth and practicing hard.

While picking up the broken pieces, Wang Xun occasionally glanced at the students practicing on the field.

In Wang Xun's eyes, the level of lower-grade students was full of mistakes and it was difficult for them to provide him with any experience.

The only ones who can share their experience with Wang Xun now are the older, skilled students.

After a while, when Wang Xun's Slash Fist and Ghost Walk skills reach level 3, the efficiency of gaining experience from the school will likely decrease further.

"I still need to expand the ways to collect fragments; this small spiritual academy can no longer satisfy me."

Wang Xun looked at the clear sky.

The timing is perfect; it's time to go to the library and meet up with Xiao Qixu.
