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

Now, among the captains of the Gotei 13, July is considered to be a Shinigami with outstanding spiritual pressure.

Just like Yujiro Kurumatani, whom I met in Karakura Town, he is the third seat officer of the 13th Division, and Nanatsu's spiritual pressure is about the same as his.

However, July's current true strength far surpasses that of Yujiro Kurumatani. His swordsmanship is much better than Yujiro Kurumatani's, and he also has many additional attribute bonuses, giving him a huge advantage.

With insufficient experience to further increase spiritual pressure, July plans to continue focusing on Kido (the way of the spirit).

In his battle against the Void, he also used the "Flying Dragon Thief-Slaying Thunder Cannon" that he had acquired earlier.

Advanced Ghost Path techniques are quite useful.

The advantage of the "Flying Dragon Thief-Slaying Thunder Cannon" is its extremely fast attack speed and long attack range, making it easy to hit enemies even when released from a distance.

When he unleashed "Flying Dragon Strike Thunder Cannon," the distance between him and the Hollow was approximately two to three thousand meters.

Even at such a distance, it could stun the Great Hollow, and once he charged in, it would instantly kill him.

If you want to continue upgrading the advanced Ghost Path skill "Flying Dragon Strike Thunder Cannon", you must first increase the Ghost Path level.

Some advanced Kido techniques can only be learned after Kido level and Kido skill level are increased.

For example, there's the "Chant Abandonment" technique, which allows you to forgo chanting, and the "Post-Chanting" technique, which involves first releasing the Demonic Path and then adding a chant to enhance its power.

If July can instantly cast "Flying Dragon Strike Thunder Cannon", then its advantage of high attack speed can be maximized.

I invested the remaining general experience into the Ghost Path, raising my Ghost Path level from 39 to 53.

After the level of the Ghost Path is raised to 50 or above, two new entries will appear on the panel: "Incantation Abandonment (Beginner)" and "Postscript Incantation (Beginner)".

[Incantation Abandonment (Beginner): When casting a Kido (Demon Path), the incantation for beginner Kido (Paths of Destruction and Binding numbered 1-30) is waived. Waving the incantation waived weakens the power of the Kido. This technique can only be used when the Kido proficiency level reaches Proficiency.]

[Postscript to Chanting (Beginner): When using the "Channel Break (Beginner)" technique, you can cast a Kido spell and then follow up with a Word of Power chant to enhance its power. This technique can only be used when your Kido proficiency level reaches Mastery.]

The proper way to release the Demon Path is to first perform a spell incantation, and then release the Demon Path. Only in this way can the Demon Path be released with its full power.

If the incantation of the incantation is omitted to save time, the power of the demonic path will be reduced.

However, with the "post-incantation" technique, one can release the Kido without first invoking the Word of Power, and then add the Word of Power incantation later. In this way, the released Kido is also a Kido with complete power.

The "Post-Incantation" technique allows the Grim Reaper to both instantly cast the Demonic Path and maintain its power. These two techniques are essential for Grim Reapers who are skilled in the Demonic Path.

After distributing the experience, July continued to review other gains.

This first practical assessment reward earned him another keyword:

[Warning sign: Your senses become more acute, making you more likely to detect danger.]

The explanation for this entry is very brief; we'll need to verify it later to know its specific effects.

In addition to the vocabulary and general experience gains, five skills have also been upgraded this time.

The skills that received upgrades are Sword Technique Flowing Light, Four Directions Instant Strike, Lightning Cut, Crimson Tide, and Hado White Lightning.

He gained another skill at the advanced level, and after this upgrade, his "Flowing Light" sword technique also reached the advanced level.

It is worth mentioning that--

After the Battle of Karakura Town, his "Raikiri" swordsmanship had already reached the proficient level.

Therefore, this proficiency reward has raised the "Raikiri" sword skill to the master level.

A master-level "Raikiri" will no longer suffer from the backlash of lightning!

Intense combat is a shortcut to improving one's strength.

Even his swordsmanship level and his instant step level have each increased by 1 level.

The basic panel has changed significantly in July:

[Basic Abilities: Spiritual Pressure lv78, Swordsmanship lv61, Kido lv53, Hakuda lv15, Shunpo lv51]

He felt that the "Born to Fight" attribute was almost fully activated, and with one or two more high-intensity battles, it should be able to activate the attribute.

After taking stock of her gains, July sensed the spiritual pressure of Bayunzhai and went back to her room to rest.

In July, she just suppressed her idea of ​​killing Kasumi Nobuo directly, because they were simply no match for the Kasumi family's counterattack.

Resolving the issue of Kasumioji Shin will not be easy. The Kasumioji family is a high-ranking noble family, and it can be said that the rules of Seireitei are largely designed to serve these high-ranking noble families.

If they take action without providing evidence, their enemies may not only be the Kasumi family. The Central 46, being allies, may very well unite to punish them.

We need to develop steadily now, and it's not advisable to rashly create so many enemies.

Moreover, given Ba Yunzhai's current physical condition, it would be difficult for him to finish off the Kasumi Oji family without suffering any damage.

He didn't want Bayunzhai to take that risk.

In July, she quietly left the temple.

He now wants to deal with Kasumi Nobuo, either by finding crucial evidence or by striking without being detected, but both require him to have intelligence on Kasumi Nobuo.

However, his Zanpakuto ability is well-suited for this task.

Just as Bayunzai said, his Zanpakuto ability is very suitable for the Covert Task Force, and is very suitable for intelligence gathering and covert operations.

Thanks to his ability to move in the shadows, even the guards of the Kasumi family had difficulty spotting him.

He only needed to place some "surveillance points" in the shadow of the Kasumi Mansion to gather information about Kasumi Shin.

Chapter 66 A Surprise Delivered to Your Door?

Several days later, at the Shikari Dojo, in the backyard—

Yoruichi Shihouin has fully recovered from her injuries, and Nanatsu is teaching her the "Raikiri" sword technique.

The skills rewarded by the system are not only available to him. After mastering "Raikiri", he has gained a deep understanding of this sword technique and can teach others without any pressure.

July said, "You know the 'Thunderbolt' technique from Hakudo, right?"

"The way 'Raikiri' releases lightning is similar to 'Tsurugi Raiden' in Devil Fruits."

"The 'Thunderbolt' technique releases lightning that strikes enemies along objects."

"And the 'Raikiri' also needs to use lightning to stimulate its own body in order to gain greater strength and speed, and to unleash a more powerful strike."

Yoruichi Shihouin scratched her head: "I know how to use 'Lightning Bolt,' but if I use lightning to stimulate my body, won't I get injured by the lightning myself?"

July said, "Of course it is. So, 'Raikiri' is actually a very dangerous sword technique. The reason I dared to use 'Raikiri' repeatedly during the Karakura Town battle was because I am also skilled in the 'Return Path' technique, which can heal the injuries caused by 'Raikiri'."

"Huh? To learn 'Raikiri,' you also need to know how to respond?" Yoruichi Shihouin's face fell. "My response skills aren't very good!"

Learning the Daoist path requires learning a lot of brain-wracking medical knowledge, which is a field she is completely unfamiliar with.

July said, "While you're practicing 'Raikiri,' I'll help treat your injuries."

"If one is skilled enough in using 'Raikiri,' the stimulation of lightning will be gentler, and one can use spiritual pressure to avoid causing damage to the body during the stimulation."

Yoruichi Shihouin seemed to understand but not quite: "Let's try it first, otherwise we'll forget everything we've said."

She closed her eyes, gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and controlled her spiritual pressure to flow into the blade.

Soon, the spiritual particles vibrated and rubbed together, transforming into lightning.

The blade immediately began to hiss.

Before she could even feel happy, a chilling scream rang out:

"what!!!"

Yoruichi Shihouin lay sprawled on the ground, her hair all frizzy, and even her wheat-colored oval face looked a few shades darker.

July slapped her forehead and said helplessly, "Why would anyone be so ruthless to themselves? Couldn't they have released less spiritual pressure?"

"Rii, come and see how I treated you." July beckoned to Hoshino Rii, who was sitting under the eaves reading a book.

She and Yoruichi were the first to arrive today; the other disciples haven't arrived yet.

After experiencing the death of her companion, Yoruichi became much more focused on her training, and even though it was her day off, she came early.

The same goes for Hoshino Rie. She was the most seriously injured in the Karakura Town incident, and her injuries haven't even fully healed yet, but she still insists on coming to learn the Way.

She felt guilty about the death of her companions, who had come to her aid when she was the first to be in danger.

I asked them about it later in July and learned about what happened that day. After noticing that she was a little depressed, I said gently, "You did a great job that day. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves."

Hoshino Rie felt a pang of sadness and spoke her mind: "If my companions hadn't come to my aid that day, I might have had a chance to escape when the Hollows appeared..."

July shook her head: "That baby was tampered with. He had a 'bait' on him that could attract Hollows. After he was born, a large number of Hollows quickly gathered in Karakura Town. Your team was on a mission at the time, and you couldn't possibly escape in time while you were in West Street."

The specific details of this matter were not disclosed to the students, and none of them had seen a Quincy. Therefore, when they received their assessment results and heard about the Quincy, they were completely confused.

"So that's how it is..." Hoshino Rie murmured, "The Quincy are truly evil, doing such cruel things..."

The Karakura Town incident had a significant impact, resulting in the deaths of many humans.

"This may not have been done by the Quincy. They just happened to kill some Shinigami here, so they became the most suitable scapegoats." July didn't say more. There was no evidence about Kasumi Ōji's matter, and he didn't want to involve his disciples.

"Practice diligently so you can handle unexpected situations better in the future." July raised her hand, treating Yoruichi Shihouin while giving instructions to Rie Hoshino.

"For extensive injuries, don't rush. Slow and steady wins the race. Yoruichi's injuries aren't serious; one treatment should suffice. If you encounter a more serious injury, you can treat it in stages..."

After a while, the other disciples also arrived at the temple one after another.

"Coriander, who is this kid?" Kensei Rokusha asked curiously when he saw a little boy following behind Cilantro Azajo.

“This is my younger brother, Xiao Shuang. Don’t just stand there, greet them! All of you should call them brother and sister.” Cilantro pointed to the figure squatting under the eaves. “This is my teacher. You… call him teacher after me.”

The little boy politely greeted everyone. Unlike his outgoing sister, he seemed a bit shy.

"Oh, it's you, Xiao Shuang! I'll take you to Rukongai later!" Kensei Rokusha laughed loudly.

People generally have a good impression of polite children and responded warmly, which eased the tension in the little boy's nerves.

"Teacher, my mother asked me to teach Xiao Shuang swordsmanship, so I brought him along. But please rest assured, he won't interfere with everyone's training," said Mochishiro Kana with a simple smile.

"It's alright, our dojo is quite large, a few more people won't be a problem," July said with a smile.

In July, she casually checked the little boy's profile and was slightly taken aback after seeing it.

【Zhaocheng Shuangye】

[Talent: S+]

[Spiritual Pressure: lv2]

[Reputation Level: Unknown]

[Status: Full of energy]

Kana Mochi's younger brother's talent has reached S+!

Based on his observations, S+ talent has the potential to become a strong player among captains. In his circle of acquaintances, only Unohana, Hakuunzai, and Kyoraku Shunsui have reached this level of talent.

July's smile grew even brighter.

“Since he’s Xiangcai’s younger brother, I’ll teach him.” July turned to Xiangcai and said, “You should be close to mastering the ‘Flowing Light’ sword technique. Keep up the good work and try to learn ‘Flowing Light’ in the next couple of days. Once you’ve mastered ‘Flowing Light,’ I’ll continue teaching you other sword techniques.”

"It's wonderful that the teacher is willing to teach. To be honest, I've never taught anyone before, and I'm really afraid I'll teach Xiaoshuang wrong." Shizuka Kana trusted the teacher's teaching ability and was happy that her younger brother could receive the teacher's guidance. "Xiaoshuang, quickly thank the teacher."

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher," said Shimajiro Shuang, bowing slightly.

Chapter 67 Following Aizen?

Rukongai, Inugawa Ward —

"Sousuke, I got a new sword!" The gray-haired boy showed off his newly acquired sword to his companion.

"Where did this knife come from? It looks very unusual." The brown-haired boy examined the knife in his companion's hand. It seemed different from the knife he had seen on the Grim Reaper, and he could vaguely sense that this knife was extraordinary. It was definitely not a knife that the blacksmith shop in the Xudiao district could forge.

"Of course! That lord admired me greatly, saying I was a rare genius, perfectly suited to this divine sword, and thus bestowed it upon me!" the gray-haired boy exclaimed excitedly. "With this sword, I can definitely become the Grim Reaper!"

"Don't you know who that person is, Kato-kun? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world," the brown-haired boy frowned, offering a friendly reminder.

For some reason, he had a vague feeling that this knife was not a good thing.

"Of course, I am too weak now to know your identity, but when I become the Grim Reaper, I will repay you properly!" The gray-haired boy didn't care. He felt that someone like him had nothing to lose. As long as he could become the Grim Reaper, he was willing to pay any price.

"Let's take the entrance exam when the Spirit Arts Academy opens for enrollment again?" the gray-haired boy continued.

"I won't go. My spiritual aptitude doesn't seem to be very good." The brown-haired boy with a ponytail gave a helpless smile.

Just now, he had already decided to leave the Xudiao District.

The weak cannot resist an unseen future.
