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

"Never mind, let's get the stuff first!"

The group quickly left the place.

Chapter 90 Spirit Gathering Pill

Shinji Hirako finished his Blade Zen meditation and noticed someone emerging from the woods: "Sousuke, you've gone to gather herbs for your teacher again?"

“Yes, I found one that was almost ripe last time, so I picked it today,” Aizen Sousuke said with a smile.

During this time, while his disciples were cultivating on the mountain, July went into the forest to collect medicinal herbs for refining the Spirit Gathering Pill.

After Aizen Sousuke learned of this, he took time out of his training to help collect medicinal herbs.

"You're really diligent. I can sense the consciousness space now," said Shinji Hirako.

“Congratulations! As the teacher said, this is a phenomenon where the consciousness space is about to take shape. Once the consciousness space stabilizes, you will be able to see your Zanpakuto,” Aizen Sousuke said.

"Your consciousness space hasn't stabilized yet, has it?" Hirako Shinji asked doubtfully.

Although he always won his swordsmanship duels with Aizen Sousuke, he always felt that this guy was hiding some of his strength.

"How could that be? My Blade Zen training has only been going on for a short time. Shinji-kun, you overestimate me. Although my spiritual pressure talent is slightly better, it doesn't mean that my communication with my Zanpakuto will be faster," Aizen Sousuke said with a wry smile.

Through his teacher's training arrangements for Aizen, Hirako Shinji realized that Aizen's spiritual pressure was stronger than his own.

Therefore, Aizen often said that he was only better than him in terms of spiritual pressure talent, and was not very good at anything else.

When I came to pick up the medicinal herbs in July, I overheard their conversation and couldn't help but twitch at the corner of my eye.

During this time, he began to use his experience in Blade Zen to help his disciples deepen their connection with their Zanpakuto.

But apart from Yoruichi Shihouin, who had already learned Shikai, and Isane Kotetsu, who hadn't yet learned Asauchi, there was another disciple he hadn't done so.

That's Aizen Sousuke!

He quietly completed his Blade Zen training!

Aizen Sousuke

[Talent: SS]

[Spiritual Pressure: lv65]

Reputation Level: Friendly

Aizen Sousuke's spiritual pressure has reached level 65!

July even felt that he had already learned the initial release.

The formation of a consciousness space and communication with a Zanpakuto will cause a surge in the Shinigami's spiritual pressure.

When Aizen first practiced Blade Zen meditation, his spiritual pressure surged wildly.

This kid is too cautious. He even considered that he might gain a lot from Blade Zen meditation and be unable to suppress the surge of spiritual pressure in front of others, so he deliberately chose to perform Blade Zen meditation when he went out to help find medicinal herbs.

Although Aizen hasn't entered the Spirit Arts Academy yet, he already has a decent fighting ability.

Occasionally, lone Shinigami may die in hidden corners of Rukongai, and the asu-uchi (lower-ranking rank) of these dead Shinigami may become known.

Aizen found such a shallow weapon.

July couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thankfully she met him before Aizen came into contact with Blade Zen meditation, otherwise she might not have had the chance to take him as a disciple.

Aizen's growth rate is simply too fast.

“Sousuke is right, your consciousness space is almost complete, and you should be able to complete this stage of cultivation within a month,” July said.

Once the consciousness space stabilizes, it means that one can enter the consciousness space to communicate with the Zanpakuto, and thus has the potential to learn the Shikai.

"Master, could you use your abilities to help me communicate with my Zanpakuto again?" Hirako Shinji asked expectantly.

"This is all I can do in this process; you'll have to walk the rest of the way yourselves." July shook her head.

In reality, he had already used up all the Blade Zen experience he had accumulated. Now that the Spirit Arts Academy was on holiday, there were no Blade Zen training classes to attend, so he couldn't gain any Blade Zen experience.

However, July was already quite satisfied with this progress. By the time school started, Kana Mochishiro, Kensei Muguruma, Shinji Hirako, and Jin'emon Kotsubaki should all be able to stabilize the consciousness space.

As for when one can learn the initial understanding, that depends on each person's own destiny.

The speed at which one learns Shikai depends largely on the Zanpakuto's personality.

If, like Yoruichi Shihouin before, the conversation with her Zanpakuto had broken down, it would be very difficult to learn the Shikai.

"Sousuke, thanks to your help, we were able to collect the medicinal herbs so quickly," July said.

"It would be great if I could help the teacher," Aizen Sousuke said.

"Now you can focus on your cultivation; we have enough medicinal herbs."

After finishing his speech in July, he began making the Soul-Gathering Pill.

Making the Soul-Gathering Pill is not like the alchemy in cultivation stories, where you throw medicinal herbs into an alchemy furnace to refine them.

Instead, these medicinal materials need to undergo multiple processes such as extraction, purification, and concentration.

...

The next day, July brought a small bottle of pills.

He has already produced the Soul-Gathering Pill.

The Spirit Absorption Pill itself does not contain spiritual pressure, but it can preserve spiritual pressure.

July poured a Spirit Gathering Pill out of the bottle. Before it was infused with spiritual pressure, the Spirit Gathering Pill was a round, gray pill.

When spiritual pressure was injected into the Naling Pill, its color gradually faded, turning white, and then gradually turned blue.

In July, wanting to see where the limit of the Soul-Gathering Pill was, he continued to inject spiritual pressure.

After a while, the Soul-Gathering Pill in his hand turned into a small, dark blue pill.

Once the Spirit Elixir turns dark blue, it can no longer be infused with spiritual pressure.

The Soul-Absorbing Pill can probably withstand half of the spiritual pressure in July.

July's spiritual pressure level has now reached that of a vice-captain, and even half of his spiritual pressure is quite considerable.

In July, he swallowed the Naling Pill to test its effects.

The cost of the Soul-Gathering Pill wasn't too high, since the materials could be gathered in the mountains and forests, so using it for testing didn't feel like a waste of money.

The Naling Pill did not dissolve immediately after being swallowed.

July could sense that there was a new source of spiritual pressure in his abdomen, continuously providing him with spiritual pressure.

This process lasted about five or six minutes, after which the Naling Pill completely melted and disappeared.

July was very satisfied with the effect; the spiritual pressure loss from the Spirit Absorption Pill was negligible!

Taking one during battle is like having an extra built-in spiritual pressure charger!

"From now on, my verbal skills will really be useful. I can secretly recover my strength when I'm talking to someone!" July thought to herself.

In July, he called Yoruichi and Rii over, wanting to test whether injecting someone else's spiritual pressure could achieve the same effect.

Generally speaking, the spiritual pressure of different Shinigami (death gods) varies considerably.

"Yoruichi, try injecting some spiritual pressure into it, just a little bit." July took out a Spirit Absorption Pill.

"Is that so?" Yoruichi poured spiritual pressure into the Spirit Absorption Pill.

"That's fine." July took it over after the color of the Soul-Gathering Pill had lightened.

Even after swallowing the Spirit Absorbing Pill, one can feel the pill releasing spiritual pressure within.

However, Yoruichi's spiritual pressure could not stay in his body for long and quickly dissipated.

"As expected, it won't work. It seems I'll have to use my own spiritual pressure."

July poured out four Spirit Absorption Pills and handed them to the two: "You have both become official Shinigami now. You may encounter danger in future missions. Spirit Absorption Pills can preserve spiritual pressure. Using them can restore spiritual pressure in battle. The method of use is just as I just demonstrated."

Starting today, the Soul-Gathering Pill will likely become a standard perk for disciples of the Shikaguri School.

Chapter 91 Spiritual Remains

Shikari Nanatsuki stands beneath the waterfall.

He had already taken off his upper body clothing, revealing his strong and agile physique.

The spiritual pressure within his body surged, and the highly concentrated, compressed Kido quickly gathered on his back and shoulders.

Instant coax!

The next moment, the Zanpakuto in his hand unleashed an arc of lightning.

Rachel!

In July, a sharp upward slash caused the waterfall's flow to suddenly explode.

Wow—the teacher is amazing!!!

Cilantro from Mole City, who was watching from the shore, clapped her hands enthusiastically.

Aizen Sousuke sighed inwardly, feeling that the effect probably did not meet his teacher's expectations.

July took a deep breath and adjusted the chaotic spiritual pressure within her body.

He was trying to combine "Instant Spell" with "Raikiri", but the results were not as expected.

However, he also found the reason: when in the "Shunho" state, the spiritual pressure in the body is very violent and difficult to control, while "Raikiri" actually requires very precise control of spiritual pressure.

The two seem to have a natural conflict.

He also tried using "Raychi" first, but the result was the same; the combined effect of the two techniques could not be achieved.

Perhaps a higher level of spiritual pressure control is needed to use "Raikiri" in the "Shunho" state.

Yoruichi Shihouin suddenly stood up, clenching her fists: "I've learned it!"

Cilantro looked at her blankly: "What did you learn?"

Yoruichi Shihouin exclaimed excitedly, "I've learned 'Instant Coax'!"

She had been learning "instant coaxing" recently, and after watching the teacher's demonstration, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Yoruichi Shihouin's spiritual pressure surged, and highly concentrated, compressed Kido quickly gathered on his back and shoulders.

Fortunately, she had changed into a sleeveless, backless top to practice "Instant Harshness" during this time, otherwise she probably would have had her clothes ripped off by now!

"I feel full of energy right now!"

Yoruichi Shihouin threw a powerful punch at the water's surface, creating a deafening explosion.

boom--

The pool of water suddenly burst open.

"Hey, hey, hey, is this how you play it?!"

"What are you doing!"

"Stop right there! Don't run!"

"Hahaha, you think you can catch me at this speed?"

The people sitting on the shore were immediately drenched by the splashing water.

July stood atop the waterfall, watching her disciples playfully frolicking.

His reaction speed was much faster than Yoruichi's; he had already used Instant Potion to reach a higher position before the pool exploded.

A notification also appeared on the panel:

[Disciple Yoruichi Shihōin has learned "Instantaneous Harassment," reward settled]

[Reward: 5000 Universal Experience Points]

[Reward: Finger Sword (Beginner Level)]

In July, it was discovered that "Finger Sword" was actually a skill that combined hand-to-hand combat with swordsmanship.

He extended his index and middle fingers and swiftly thrust them forward, the spiritual pressure blade instantly detaching from his body and piercing through a large tree on the shore.

"Finger Sword" can be used for ranged attacks!
