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

The basic training in swordsmanship, demonic arts, white-handed fighting, and instant step was completed within a few days.

This gave July 4000 general experience points and four beginner-level Ghost Path skills.

These are Hado No. 12: Hidden Fire, Hado No. 31: Red Fire Cannon, Bakudo No. 9: Strike, and Bakudo No. 21: Red Smoke Escape.

In July, he invested all 4000 general experience points, along with the 5000 general experience points he gained when Kana Mochi learned the sword technique "Flowing Light," into his spiritual pressure.

His current spiritual pressure level is 78, which is very close to the level of a vice-captain.

Once his spiritual pressure reaches the level of a vice-captain, he should be able to communicate with the white-haired girl's sword spirit in his consciousness space, so July plans to raise his spiritual pressure to the level of a vice-captain first.

Chapter 85 Yoruichi's Zanpakuto

"Yoruichi-nee, will you come back to the dojo after you graduate?" Kana Azajo swung her wooden sword, aiming for Yoruichi Shihouin's forehead.

Both Kana Momoshiro and Yoruichi Shihouin wore headbands on their foreheads, and they needed to cut each other's headbands with wooden swords.

This is a mandatory training program at kendo dojos. If a dojo gains a good reputation, it may attract challengers.

A challenge match can be either a life-or-death duel with real swords or a simple swordsmanship contest, in which the winner is the one who cuts off the opponent's headband with a wooden sword.

Being able to cut off the opponent's headband with a wooden sword means that you can cut off the opponent's head with a real sword.

"Of course I'll come! There's still so much I haven't finished learning from you, teacher. I'll come often before I drain you dry!" Yoruichi Shihouin suddenly leaned back, slid to Kana Azashiro's side, and swung her sword at Kana Azashiro's forehead.

After the sixth round of practical assessments, the students will soon graduate and be assigned to various squads based on their performance.

"Don't you have to go on missions after becoming a Grim Reaper?" Kana Azashiro asked, blocking the incoming blade.

"You don't have to do missions every day, there'll always be free time!" Yoruichi Shihouin kicked back and sprang up. "You fell for it, hahaha!"

Yoruichi Shihouin leaped behind Kana Azashiro and cut off her headband with a single stroke.

"I still can't beat her. Yoruichi is so strong." Kana Mochishiro said helplessly, grabbing the falling headband.

"Of course, I'm a graduate!" Yoruichi Shihouin said with a smile.

"I'm a little thirsty." Yoruichi Shihouin came to Nanatsu and poured her a cup of tea.

July asked with a smile, "Yoruichi, how's your Blade Zen training going?"

Yoruichi Shihouin shrugged: "That's fine. My sword is still angry and refuses to communicate with me now."

She has completed the initial communication with her Zanpakuto and constructed her own consciousness space, but she has a conflict with the Zanpakuto, which is unwilling to tell her its name.

At this moment, a message popped up on July's panel.

[Current training task has been added: Guide Yoruichi Shihouin through her Shikai training (in progress)]

July suddenly found herself in a dilemma.

Yoruichi Shihouin is unable to use her Zanpakuto because of a communication problem with it, a situation that is difficult for outsiders to interfere with.

In July, he suddenly remembered that he still had a lot of "Zen of the Blade".

Consuming Blade Zen experience during Blade Zen meditation can strengthen the connection with your Zanpakuto.

His connection with Yingji is now very close; even without entering the consciousness space, he can communicate with her through his thoughts.

Only a few Shinigami who have an extremely close relationship with their Zanpakuto can do this.

Therefore, when he performs Blade Zen Meditation now, he doesn't need to use Blade Zen experience at all. He gains Blade Zen experience every time he attends a Blade Zen Meditation class, and he has now accumulated more than 10,000 Blade Zen experience points that he has nowhere to use.

In July, he wanted to try using his experience with Blade Zen to see if he could enter Yoruichi's consciousness space.

Generally speaking, Death's consciousness space is a place that only Death himself can enter, and there is basically no way for others to enter it.

"Yoruichi, my Zanpakuto's ability is rather unique, it might be able to help, but I've never tried this method before, so I don't know if it will work." Nanatsu planned to use her Zanpakuto's ability as a cover.

"Having a way is better than having no way..." Yoruichi Shihouin nodded.

“Then come with me to the quiet room to meditate,” July said, standing up.

July brought Yoruichi to the Zen Master's meditation room and casually lit the incense burner in the corner. Soon, the room was filled with smoke.

"You can just practice Blade Zen meditation." July released her Zanpakuto and started talking nonsense. "My Zanpakuto can invade all shadows, including those in the consciousness space. I'll try to see if I can enter your consciousness space."

Yoruichi Shihouin had already trusted his teacher and didn't doubt his words. He immediately sat cross-legged, placed his Zanpakuto on his thigh, and began to meditate on the blade.

A moment later, July also sat down cross-legged in front of Yoruichi.

He placed his hand on her Zanpakuto and tried to immerse himself in the experience of Blade Zen.

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

When he came to his senses again, he found himself in a scenic valley.

efficient!

This time, his Blade Zen meditation did not enter his own consciousness space!

Yoruichi was right next to him.

"How did you get in here, meow?!" a panicked voice rang out.

Looking up in July, a black-haired girl with cat ears and a cat tail sat cross-legged on the roof of the only wooden house in the valley.

"Tsk, I thought you were mute?" Yoruichi was a little annoyed. Every time she came in, this cat-eared girl ignored her, but now that her teacher had come in, she finally spoke up.

The cat-eared girl pursed her lips and stopped talking.

July tugged at Yoruichi, telling her to say less. They'd only just come in, and they were already making things difficult for her!

July jumped onto the roof, squatted down next to the cat-eared girl, and asked with a smile, "Are you Yoruichi's Zanpakuto?"

The cat-eared girl replied, "So what if it is, meow?"

She doesn't dislike Shikari Nanatsuki. As long as the master doesn't close off the space of consciousness, the Zanpakuto can see the outside world, so she also knows Shikari Nanatsuki.

Her foolish master almost died in the mortal world last time. If Shikagori Nanatsuki hadn't arrived in time, the grass on his grave would probably be overgrown by now.

A Zanpakuto is one with its master; if the master dies, the Zanpakuto will revert to Asauchi.

In July, she tried to be a listener: "Why don't you want to be friends with Yoruichi? Did she do something really annoying?"

The cat-eared girl immediately launched into a tirade: "She said I'm too short! And that I'm useless! Who talks about their own Zanpakuto like that?!"

"I was just saying..." Yoruichi scratched her head, "Besides, you really are short, you seem so much shorter than others when using sword techniques..."

"You still dare to talk back!" The cat-eared girl's ears and tail bristled when she heard this.

"Alright, I didn't come in to watch you fight. Yoruichi, if you can't speak properly, then shut up." July pulled the cat-eared girl back from attacking.

July said to Yoruichi, "A Zanpakuto is one with a Shinigami and is also the Shinigami's most important partner. No matter what the Zanpakuto's abilities are, you should think about how to develop them."

"Short swords also have their uses. The sword techniques of the Shikatori-ryu school, as well as the 'Raikiri' I taught you, can all be used with short swords."

"You may not know that after the Zanpakuto is released, it is still in the form of a naginata. Many of the sword techniques of the Shikatori-ryu style cannot be used in the conventional way. Even so, it does not prevent her from becoming a strong person. She has modified the sword techniques to suit her own use."

The cat-eared girl beside him nodded repeatedly, agreeing with what July said.

July glared at Yoruichi, signaling her to quickly say something nice.

He realized that the cat-eared girl was not very mature and was actually easy to coax.

Yoruichi realized what was happening and quickly put her hands together, saying, "I'm sorry!"

"I was wrong before, I'll work on developing you properly!"

Please, please forgive me!

Chapter 86 The Power of the Zanpakuto

July and Yoruichi returned to the quiet room.

"Let me see your Zanpakuto." July was getting impatient.

In his past life, Yoruichi did not use her Zanpakuto, so he did not know the effects of Yoruichi's Zanpakuto after it was released.

Yoruichi nodded and drew his Zanpakuto:

"Shine, Naruto!"

The blade of the short sword was instantly crackling with electric arcs.

"Natsune is a Kido-type Zanpakuto... its ability is to unleash lightning..." Yoruichi's eyes lit up. "Natsune's lightning seems easier to control; I think I could directly use it to unleash the 'Raikiri' sword technique!"

Yoruichi has now reconciled with her Zanpakuto, and the lightning it releases is under her control.

Blue and white arcs of electricity rapidly spread across her body, and soon her entire body was flashing with lightning.

“Let’s try attacking,” July said.

"Here I come!" As soon as the words were spoken, a flash of lightning appeared in the quiet room, and Yoruichi instantly appeared in front of July.

But the next moment, her advance suddenly stopped, frozen a few centimeters away, unable to move.

"Huh???" Yoruichi was completely bewildered when she realized she couldn't move.

She looked closely and realized that she was already entangled by a dark shadow.

Shadow Bind - No Sword Strike!

Before she could move, July had already plunged the knife into the shadows.

His mastery of the "No-Sword Technique" granted him a powerful ability to control timing, allowing him to stop the night in an instant.

The lightning and shadows on Yoruichi's body disappeared almost simultaneously, and she could move again.

"Is this the power of the teacher's Zanpakuto? It's amazing! I can't move at all!" Yoruichi exclaimed.

“Because my spiritual pressure is much stronger than yours, you can’t break free,” July said.

At this moment, several notifications popped up on July's panel:

[Disciple Yoruichi Shihouin has learned the sword technique "Raikiri," reward settled]

[Reward: 5000 Universal Experience Points]

[Reward Received: Instant Harshness (Beginner Level)]

[Rewards awarded for guiding Yoruichi Shihouin through her Shikai training]

[Reward: 10000 Universal Experience Points]

[Reward: Recipe for Gathering Spirit Pill]

Instant coax!

July was a bit of a surprise; the reward for this training mission was "Instant Smash".

If Yoruichi had followed the original path of training, she would have created a unique "Instantaneous Harassment" system.

However, she doesn't know how to "instantly coax" yet.

“Yoruichi, I also have a taijutsu here that combines Hakuda and Kido, which should be very suitable for you,” Nana said with a smile.

"Isn't it a sword technique?" Yoruichi asked curiously.

"It's not a sword technique." July mobilized her spiritual pressure.

The highly concentrated, compressed demonic energy gathered on his back and shoulders.

A chaotic surge of blue spiritual pressure suddenly erupted, tearing and blasting open the fabric on the shoulders and back.

July casually ripped off her tattered clothes: "This move is called 'Instant Hurricane,' it increases the caster's speed and strength, and even ordinary attacks can be imbued with the effects of Kido. It's just a bit of a waste of clothes."

When using the "Raikiri" sword technique, its expressiveness is somewhat similar to that of "Shunko".

However, there is a fundamental difference between the two.

"Raikiri" focuses more on instantaneous explosive power, using high-voltage lightning to stimulate the body to the limit that the body can withstand, and releasing speed and power in a concentrated manner.

Therefore, using "Raikiri" will put a great strain on the body, and if you are not skilled at it, you may be attacked by lightning.

While "Instant Rage" is also a burst-type ability, it is more sustained.

It combines Hirata (a type of martial arts technique) and Kido (another type of martial arts technique), using highly concentrated and compressed Kido to wrap around the practitioner's back and shoulders, and then inject it into the limbs to obtain powerful energy.

This process is ongoing.

"Perhaps we could combine them..." July thought to herself.

He thought of Yoruichi's "Shunko Raiju Sengoku Shunryu Kuroko Senki" form.
