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

The dying Kurosaki Tsuki heard the sound of something cutting through the air. Squeezing out the last of her physical abilities, she opened her eyes, which were now unfocused.

"Mr. Death... could you... please spare those two children..." Kurosaki Tsukisaki pleaded.

Chapter 107 The Blood of the Quincy

The valley was now filled with July's shadowy gaze, and Kurosaki Tsuki was quickly spotted by his shadowy gaze after emerging from the water.

He needed to bring the now-stable injured Shigeo Takeshi to the medical station, so he searched along the valley.

He didn't come here to treat Kurosaki Tsukisaki.

Putting aside the issue of stance, Kurosaki Tsuki is now on her deathbed. Unless there is the healing hot spring of Kirinji Tenjirou, the return to the path alone cannot save her.

He came here for another purpose.

“Miss Kurosaki, don’t panic. You didn’t choose to kill my students when you were in Karakura Town, so of course I won’t kill those two children either,” July said softly. “However, I would like to borrow a little blood from you, Miss Kurosaki.”

July knew very well that death had its limits.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is currently at the limit of a Shinigami, and Aizen Sousuke also has the potential to grow to the limit of a Shinigami.

If he takes steady and solid steps in July, it's not impossible for him to grow to the limit of the Grim Reaper.

However, if one wants to break through the limits of death, one needs to possess power beyond death itself.

The power of Hollows, the power of Quincy, and the power of the Soul King could all potentially allow a Shinigami to break through their limits and become an even more powerful being.

It's rare to encounter a pure-blooded Quincy now, and July doesn't want to miss it.

Despite the intensity of the battles in the valley forest, there are actually very few adult pure-blooded Quincy.

Most of the Quincy in the valley forest are hybrid Quincy.

In July, I encountered two pure-blooded Quincy, but Ishida Jigen, whom I had met before, had already self-destructed, so I could not extract pure-blooded Quincy blood from him.

Kurosaki Tsukisaki's side hasn't been discovered by the other Shinigami yet, making it the best time to collect her bloodline.

Kurosaki Tsukisaki said with difficulty, "Thank you...for sparing those two children...please feel free to use their blood..."

She was about to die, and had neither the energy nor the ability to care what Death wanted to do with her blood. As long as her younger siblings were safe, she could rest easy.

July sighed inwardly, realizing that the positions of the Shinigami and the Quincy were irreconcilable.

The reason why the Shinigami wanted to exterminate the Quincy was not only due to the hatred accumulated in the past, but also because of the nature of the Quincy's power.

Of the souls in the mortal world, some will flow to the Soul Society, while others will become Hollows, remaining in the mortal world or entering Hueco Mundo.

When Shinigami use their Zanpakuto to destroy Hollows, they are not actually erasing them completely, but rather purifying the sins accumulated after their deaths.

After being purified by the Shinigami, Hollows will revert to souls and return to Soul Society, the home of souls.

Souls that die in Soul Society will travel to the human world to be reborn as new lives.

The Three Realms achieve a relatively balanced state through the circulation of souls in this way.

The Grim Reaper's duty is to maintain the balance of the three realms.

Unlike Shinigami who send Hollows to the Soul Society, Quincy completely annihilate Hollows.

If this continues, the three realms will lose their balance and face destruction.

Therefore, the Shinigami and the Quincy have an irreconcilable conflict at the source of their power.

In July, a question suddenly came to mind.

The unborn Ichigo Kurosaki used Zangetsu in the early stages, which was actually the power of the Quincy. His true Shinigami power was suppressed and hidden within his body by the Quincy power.

So, in the early stages, did Kurosaki Ichigo destroy Hollows by completely annihilating their souls, or did he, like the Shinigami, send the Hollows' souls into the Soul Society?

I remember in July that Kurosaki Ichigo could use Soul Burial to transfer souls...

This is an ability exclusive to the Grim Reaper.

"Perhaps the Quincy power within him didn't completely suppress the power of the Shinigami?" July thought to herself.

He only remembers the general plot; he doesn't remember the smaller details very well.

However, this made him start to make connections.

The Shinigami's ability to guide souls comes from Zanpakuto, which in turn is a system established by Hyosube Ichibei and Nimaiya Oetsu of the Zero Division.

Is it possible to give Quincy something similar to a Zanpakuto, so that they would have the ability to guide souls?

But this is something even the Quincy King couldn't do, so July can only dream about it now.

July realized that Kurosaki Tsuki had stopped breathing, so she took out the bloodline extractor.

After the blood extractor was inserted into Kurosaki Tsuki's neck, it slowly drew out blue liquid.

The blood extraction process took quite a while, several minutes in total.

In July, after checking the panel, the description of the Bloodline Extractor had changed: [Bloodline Extractor (Pureblood Quincy)].

Just then, a gentle breeze blew towards the riverbank, and Kurosaki Tsuki's body instantly turned into ashes, slowly dissipating in the air.

He did not linger in July, and carrying the military plan on his back, he left the valley.

At his pace, he quickly spotted the two junior Quincy, but he didn't reveal himself; instead, he leaped over them.

When Kurosaki Tsukisaki was in Karakura Town, he didn't choose to kill his student, which made Nana owe him a favor.

Now that he's let the two children go, he's repaid that favor.

...

With the deaths of the elite Quincy, the war quickly came to an end.

There are no more Quincy warriors in the valley forest, and the medical team is being assisted in the search and rescue by Shinigami soldiers from other divisions.

In July, instead of entering the valley forest again, he stayed at the medical post to treat the wounded with Unohana.

"Shikatori-kun, I heard you defeated a pureblood Quincy?" Unohana's actions were orderly and she remained calm despite the wounded on the ground.

“The chaotic puppets of pure-blooded Quincy are very difficult to deal with. If it weren’t for my decent Dao Returning skill, I probably wouldn’t have been able to continue providing medical support to the Executive Captain,” July said.

If July is a high-attack, low-health type, she'll probably die at the hands of Ishida Tsuguhira.

Fortunately, he has an extremely strong ability to survive. Whether it is his ability to regenerate or his shadow ability, he can remain invincible on the battlefield.

He had already tested it in July; he had absolute control over the spiritual particles he hid in the shadows.

Even Kurosaki Tsuki, in his scattered spirit form, was unable to absorb the spiritual particles hidden in his shadow.

Therefore, as long as he stays in the shadows, even a Quincy in his scattered form can't do anything to him.

"Then your battle achievements are enough to shut those people in Chamber 46 up." Unohana smiled and continued, "Pure-blooded Quincy are rare to begin with, and adult pure-blooded Quincy all have blood armor abilities. The Quincy's blood armor abilities combined with the Chaotic Armor Puppet are indeed quite troublesome."

"Teacher, there's a seriously injured person here!" Yoruichi Shihōin and members of the Onmitsukito Squad carried in a wounded soldier.

"coming."

After experiencing a fierce war, Yoruichi Shihouin matured considerably, her eyes losing much of their former clarity and gaining a touch of composure.

A notification also popped up on the panel in July:

[Disciple Yoruichi Shihōin has completed her battlefield training (completed)]

Chapter 108 Rewards for the Cultivation Mission

The war is over, but the Fourth Division is even busier.

With so many wounded, the medical team could only provide emergency treatment to the wounded on the battlefield.

After the war, he had to be transferred back to the Fourth Division Hospital in Seireitei for further treatment.

July was also pulled in by Unohana to help.

His previous fame ended at the Academy of Spiritual Arts.

Since being invited by the Minister of the Guidao Department to give a lecture to the advanced training class, every teacher in the Spirit Arts Academy has known that Shichigatsuki is a swordsmanship teacher with a very high level of Guidao skill.

Before participating in this war, most of the members of the 13th Division had never heard of Shikari Nanatsuki.

But things are different now. During his time at the medical front, he treated the injuries of at least a hundred Grim Reapers, and even saved Captain Nobukatsu, who was on the verge of death.

July's superb writing skills completely won over the Shinigami of the Fourth Division.

He now has many fans in the Fourth Division, and some of them have even reached the level of "Aspiration".

"Teacher, this wounded soldier's condition has worsened!" Hoshino Rie said urgently.

"The wound is infected. First, remove the infected tissue, then clean the wound," July said, turning to look at her disciple.

Hoshino Rie did as instructed, and with the help of Kaido's treatment, the wounded soldier's condition quickly stabilized.

"Teacher is amazing! You figured out the reason so quickly!" Hoshino Rie wiped the sweat from her forehead. The injured person's condition had been very bad, which made her a little nervous.

"Practice more, observe more, and you'll be able to tell the difference with more experience," July said.

Since there were so many practical opportunities, in July he also called over his disciple Hoshino Rie to serve as a medical assistant and learn from her experience.

The results were also very obvious. After this period of training, Hoshino Rie's return path became more and more proficient. Her return path level far surpassed that of her fellow graduates and was in no way inferior to the other Shinigami in the Fourth Division.

Furthermore, guiding Hoshino Rie also triggered a training mission:

[Guiding disciple Hoshino Rie to complete her return-to-the-path practice training (completed)]

After dealing with the wounded in July, he said to his disciple, "Liyi, could you keep an eye on these wounded for me? I need to go to the intensive care unit to check on Captain Nobukatsu; he should be waking up soon."

In July, she left the emergency room and went to the intensive care unit.

He took advantage of a brief moment of free time to check the rewards for the two cultivation tasks.

[Disciple Shihouin Yoruichi has completed battlefield training; rewards have been calculated.]

[Reward: 10000 Universal Experience Points]

[Reward Obtained: Divine Body Transformation]

[Rewards calculated for guiding disciple Hoshino Rie to complete her return-to-the-path training]

[Reward: 10000 Universal Experience Points]

[Reward Obtained: Collapse Point Recipe]

This time, the reward includes "Transformation into a Divine Body"!

"Transformation of the Divine Body" is a shortcut to cultivating Bankai.

Generally speaking, even if one's spiritual pressure reaches a level where one can train for Bankai, it still takes several years or even more than a decade of training to learn Bankai.

The "Transformation Body" can shorten the time required to cultivate Bankai to the minimum!

"Tenjintai" is a humanoid doll-like object. By inserting a Zanpakuto into it, the Zanpakuto's true form can be materialized.

You can learn Bankai if you defeat the materialized Zanpakuto within three days!

In July, she looked at another reward: "Breakpoint" is an anesthetic that can numb spirits. The lower the spiritual pressure, the harder it is to resist the effects of "Breakpoint".

July was very satisfied with the two rewards, as they were things she didn't need for the time being but might come in handy later.

He walked into the intensive care unit, where Unohana was also.

Those lying in the intensive care unit are all patients who require close monitoring.

Unohana also often takes time to come and visit.

"Shikatori-kun, I'm so grateful for your help these past few days, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to keep up at all," Unohana said with a smile.

"Captain Unohana, you flatter me. I was just doing my best," July said gently. "The executive captain should be waking up soon, right?"

"You're very perceptive. I just checked, and the Execution Captain is showing signs of waking up." Unohana nodded and sighed, "Shikatori-kun's medical skills are now on par with mine. I really hope you can stay in the Fourth Division forever!"

"Sorry, I have to go back to the Spirit Arts Academy after I finish these two days." July scratched his head. Of course, he couldn't stay in the Fourth Division forever; the Spirit Arts Academy would be starting in a couple of days.

He still prefers being a teacher, after all, the rewards for being a teacher are quite appealing.

Unohana could only say regretfully, "The doors of the Fourth Division will always be open for you. If you don't want to teach anymore, you can come back anytime."

Just as the two had expected, Takeshi Naoki woke up quickly.

"Still alive..." The voice of Executive Nobukatsu was hoarse and low.

"Ha—I'm getting old. To think I'd be defeated by a Quincy..."
