Bleach: Getting Stronger Starting from Teaching at the Spiritual Arts Academy

July's eyes narrowed as he noticed the movements of a samurai servant. He actually drew his sword and slashed at Lisa's hand!

In a flash, July appeared in front of Lisa, clasped her hands together, and caught the samurai servant's sword between them.

Take it without a knife!

In July, he once again used the technique of catching a blade without a sword, and this time he caught the opponent's real sword with his bare hands.

"Why did you suddenly resort to such ruthless measures?" July asked calmly.

"Get out of the way! She dared to soil Lord Kasumi's clothes with those filthy hands, she should be punished. Don't worry, Lord Kasumi is kind-hearted, I won't take her life, I'll just leave her with one hand," the samurai attendant said coldly.

In his view, the lowly commoners of Rukongai dared to be so disrespectful and should be killed on the spot. The fact that she was only punished by having one hand left was already an act of great mercy because she was a child.

The upper-class nobles have the right to kill any spirits in Rukongai who offend them, and if a spirit in Rukongai offends an upper-class noble, they will not be held accountable for killing it.

Lisa turned pale with fright at the samurai servant's malice and hid behind July, quickly apologizing, "I'm sorry! My hands aren't dirty!"

The samurai attendant unleashed his spiritual pressure, attempting to pull the sword from July's hand.

“I see that this gentleman’s sleeves are not stained.” July also unleashed her spiritual pressure, firmly pressing down the samurai’s sword.

July glanced at the panel and saw that this person was just a nobody with a spiritual pressure level of only 10.

However, the man dressed in luxurious clothes was a different story.

[Xia Da Road News]

[Talent: B]

[Spiritual Pressure: lv75]

[Reputation Level: Hostile]

The man in the luxurious attire is a high-ranking death god with spiritual pressure far exceeding that of July.

When July looked at the man in the luxurious clothes, she found that he was also scrutinizing her with a critical gaze.

"Let go!"

The other attendants also drew their swords and pointed them at July.

"teacher!"

Kana Mochi and Kensei Mukka also drew their Asaka swords and stood beside July.

"What a nuisance, I really shouldn't have come..." Hirako Shinji muttered to himself, but he still drew his Asauchi and stood with his two classmates.

Grandma Jiang came out of the kitchen and hurriedly said, "Gentlemen, please calm down. This child is still young and doesn't understand much. Please forgive her this time. I'll go and get some good wine to apologize to you all."

The man in luxurious clothes smiled and said slowly, "No need for apologies, it's just a small matter. Put away your knives."

"Yes!" The servants sheathed their swords.

Seeing that the other party intended to de-escalate the dispute, Qiyue let go.

The servant whose sword had been held down by July also put away his sword. He pushed aside Kensei Rokusha, who was blocking his way, and left the izakaya with the man in luxurious clothes.

July frowned as he watched the group leave; he had a feeling that things weren't so simple.

The person named Kasumi Nobuhiro had a reputation level of "hostile" for the first time he had ever encountered such a situation.

"It's alright, those guys are gone." July patted Lisa's head, comforting her.

"Damn it! These guys with nostrils on their heads!" Quanxi thought back to their arrogant looks and felt very annoyed.

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Grandma Jiang came over to check on Lisa and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that she was not injured.

The four returned to their seats in July and continued their meal.

...

After leaving the izakaya, Kasumi Nobuhiro entered the palanquin and was carried away by four servants.

"That Grim Reaper confronting Inuzaki must be the successor of the Shikari Dojo, right?"

"That must be him. See the Spirit Arts Academy student next to him? I heard that the two new swordsmanship teachers at the Spirit Arts Academy are from the Tsuna-Yayo family and the Shika-Tori family. He must be the new swordsmanship teacher."

"Lu Qu Bayunzhai actually dared to refuse your proposal, sir. However, I heard that she is very ill and does not have much time left to live. I will see if her successor can still protect the dojo when the time comes."

"That goes without saying. His spiritual pressure is only slightly stronger than mine. Once Rokuto Hakunsai dies, you can take over that dojo at any time, and the price won't be the same then."

While listening to his subordinates' idle chatter from inside the palanquin, Kasumi Nobuyuki recalled the spiritual pressure he had just sensed from Shikatri Nanatsuki, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

The land at the Shikato Dojo is quite nice; the mountains and forests behind it are perfect for converting it into a hunting ground, and the dojo itself could be transformed into a resting estate.

He has already set his sights on this land and believes it won't be long before he can acquire it.

...

When I returned to the temple in July, I found the lights in the reception room were still on, so I went to turn them off.

Back in the backyard, I saw Ba Yunzhai sitting on the edge of the eaves, drinking tea.

"Has anyone been here?" July handed the packaged food to Ba Yunzhai.

"How did you know... Oh, I think I forgot to turn off the light... It's toriiyaki, did you go to Granny Jiang's place?" Ba Yunzhai picked up a skewer of toriiyaki and started eating. "A few people from the Kasumi family came over just now, saying they want to buy the land of Shikatori Dojo."

"The Kasumi family wants to buy this land? You didn't agree, did you?" July frowned. It seemed that Kasumi Shin's hostility towards him didn't just stem from the conflict at the izakaya.

Ba Yunzhai said, quite naturally:

"Of course I refuse—this is where I've lived my whole life!"

Chapter 18 The Mysterious Knife

After returning to his room in July, he immediately took out the Asahi that had been given as an extra reward.

After a thorough examination, July concluded that it was just an ordinary shallow-strike weapon.

He couldn't find anything special about this shallow-sized katana; it was exactly the same as the shallow-sized katana he had given to the students that morning.

In July, a possibility came to mind.

He sat cross-legged, placed the asana on his lap, and immediately began practicing blade meditation.

After July got into position, a Blade Zen training status appeared on the panel. With a thought, July poured all the Blade Zen experience she had gained into it.

In an instant, July immediately entered a deep state of Blade Zen meditation.

The spiritual pressure within July suddenly became extremely violent, and his soul actually connected with the newly acquired Asauchi!

He already had an Asauchi that had undergone Blade Zen training, and according to his perception, that Asauchi had already become a Zanpakuto, but for some unknown reason, he was unable to enter his consciousness space to communicate with the Zanpakuto.

But now an unprecedented situation has arisen: his soul has once again connected with another Asauchi.

A brand new Zanpakuto is about to be born!

In July, the spiritual pressure within her body began to surge wildly. Suddenly, the surging spiritual pressure formed a substantial energy that spread outwards, instantly enveloping the entire room.

The tables, chairs, and other items in the room were all blown away by the materialized spiritual pressure.

The spiritual pressure level on my personal panel also increased rapidly in July.

32, 35, 40, 45...

Just as the spiritual pressure within July's body surged wildly, the shadow behind him stirred.

The shadow of July seemed to come alive.

Something seemed to be flowing within his shadow, writhing irregularly.

Gradually, the shadows seemed to take on a physical form, extending and coalescing into the air.

"July! What happened...?"

Ba Yunzhai noticed the commotion immediately and rushed over.

Upon opening the door, a wave of spiritual pressure rushed towards me.

He quickly brushed aside the wood chips that were being blown towards him.

At this moment, the wooden floorboards in the room were lifted up by the spiritual pressure.

When Ba Yunzhai saw the knife on Qi Yue's leg, he realized that Qi Yue was practicing blade meditation.

Ba Yunzhai also noticed the change in July's shadow, but July had never experienced this situation before when practicing Blade Zen. This was the first time such a scene had appeared on July.

However, July had clearly entered a deep state of Blade Zen meditation, and his soul was connected with Asada. Interrupting July's Blade Zen practice at this time would likely cause him to suffer a backlash. After hesitating for a moment, Bayunzhai decided to wait and see.

Countless black lines extended from the shadow of July, condensing into a cluster in the air, its shape resembling a heart.

dong dong——

The heart, formed from black lines, suddenly began to beat.

dong dong——

dong dong——

The sound of the black heart beating grew louder and louder, like thunder deafeningly loud.

Dong dong dong dong dong dong——

The sound of the black heart beating faster and faster, layer upon layer, like an endless drumbeat.

Ba Yunzhai covered her ears; the dull drumbeats made her dizzy and lightheaded, and she even had difficulty standing.

After a series of continuous drumbeats, the beating of the black heart became steady.

A moment later, the black heart slowly sank into the shadows, and the thunderous beating sound disappeared.

Then the changes in the shadows quickly disappeared, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Ba Yunzhai knew that what she had just seen was not an illusion. She felt a slight pain and itchiness in her ears, and when she touched them, she found a bright red stain on her fair fingers.

Her eardrums were actually damaged by the terrifying throbbing sound!

A buzzing sound echoed in Baiyunzhai's ears, and he could not hear any outside sounds.

In July, he finished his Zen meditation and woke up.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Ba Yunzhai covered in blood.

This scene terrified him, as he thought that the injury to the Spirit Pressure Core of Ba Yun Zhai had worsened so quickly.

But her mental state didn't seem to indicate that her injuries had worsened.

"what happened to you?"

"I can't hear!"

In July, she saw the woman gesturing that she couldn't hear anymore. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the blood was flowing from her ear.

"What happened? How did your ear get injured?" July was completely unaware of what had just happened, and quickly used her healing powers to treat Ba Yunzhai's ear.

Ba Yunzhai's ear was quickly healed by Hui Dao.

"How did you get your ears like this?" July carefully examined them with her spiritual pressure perception and found that the spiritual pressure core of Baiyunzhai had not changed, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't you know? When you were meditating with Blade Zen, your shadow underwent a terrifying change!"

Ba Yunzhai recounted the changes in the shadow she had just witnessed.

"Has my shadow changed?"

July was completely unaware of the changes in the outside world. He had just successfully made contact with the Asahi sword and entered the consciousness space.

His consciousness space was somewhat strange; it was pitch black, but it wasn't completely empty either. In fact, everything in his consciousness space was black.

He didn't see the Zanpakuto in his consciousness space, and woke up after a short while.

Although he didn't see the Zanpakuto this time, successfully entering the consciousness space was still very rewarding.

The spiritual pressure has increased to 52!

Eleventh-rank spiritual power!

Huge improvement!

Each Shinigami undergoes a qualitative change when going through the three stages of Zanpakuto formation, learning Shikai, and learning Bankai.

July's successful entry into the consciousness space allowed him to receive the spiritual pressure feedback he should have received when his Zanpakuto was formed.

"I have successfully entered the consciousness space during my Blade Zen meditation this time," July said, looking at the Zanpakuto in her hand.

This Zanpakuto is the one that was transformed from the Asauchi sword, which was an extra reward.
