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

I've already obtained the beginner-level "Wind Chaser" skill three times, and my proficiency level has improved from beginner to proficient.

"A recipe for crafting spirit remains?" July was slightly taken aback when she saw the reward.

His spiritual body is the product of the combination of the spirit skeleton and the shadow of the spirit king. The spirit skeleton is indeed something he really wants to study, but unfortunately his authority is insufficient to view the sealed spirit skeleton data.

However, he obtained it from the system now, which avoided a lot of trouble.

Chapter 130 Assessment and Settlement

After a short rest, Kensei Rokusha's final sword-fighting match began.

"Brother Kensei, you have to win!"

Kensei Muguruma, who was about to walk towards the ring, heard the call and turned to look at the audience.

It was a young boy, probably who came to watch the game with his family.

Kensei Mukkale's performance in the ring was outstanding, leaving a deep impression on the audience.

"So there are already spectators cheering for me? I can't lose! I'm sorry, Mako, I have to win this match!" Kensei Muguruma thought to himself.

He waved at the boy and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure I can win. Hirako Shinji's swordsmanship isn't up to par yet. It won't take long to beat him."

The boy who received a response from Kensei Rokujo was also very happy: "Go Kensei-nii!"

Kensei Rokusha gave him a thumbs up and then turned and walked toward the ring.

"Tsk—you're so hesitant. I thought you were scared and didn't dare to go up to the ring," Hirako Shinji sneered.

“Unlike you, all alone, I’m greeting the people who are cheering me on.” Kensei Muguruma couldn’t wait to show off to Shinji Hirako.

"Who cares about this?" Hirako Shinji curled his lip and drew his sword. "Fall down, Gyoubu!"

His index finger hooked around the huge ring on the hilt, and the Zanpakuto spun continuously along his finger.

Kensei Muguruma quickly unleashed his Zanpakuto: "Annihilate me, Danji-fu!"

Wielding the dagger, the green wind condensed into two lines of wind, swiftly attacking Liu Chequanxi.

However, as long as Hirako Shinji stood still, the two wind lines began to zigzag back and forth, as if they were twitching.

"Your Zanpakuto ability is indeed troublesome." Kensei Muguruma frowned. He had already had some expectations for Shinji Hirako's ability. He had not only used his eyes to locate Shinji Hirako, but also maintained his perception of Shinji Hirako's spiritual pressure, yet his sense of direction was still reversed.

After realizing that the direction had been reversed, he tried to control the wind line in the opposite direction, but Hirako Shinji quickly reversed the reversed direction again.

The two pulled back and forth, causing the wind lines in the air to constantly veer back and forth.

"Yes, so how do you plan to deal with it?"

Hirako Shinji suddenly appeared behind Rokusha Kensei and swung his sword down.

Kensei Muguruma reacted quickly, dodging the attack, but found that the direction had reversed again, causing him to run into Shinji Hirako's sword.

puff-

Kensei Rokusha had a cut on his chest.

"Damn it, your ability is so slow that it's impossible to react!" Kensei Muguruma sensed something was wrong. If he hadn't changed direction again, that slash would have seriously injured him.

Kensei Muguruma knew he couldn't delay any longer, and his spiritual pressure surged: "Then let's try this!"

A bright blue light flashed from the dagger, and six wind lines were unleashed at the same time.

"It's useless. Even if you create ten wind lines, it won't make a difference to me." Shinji Hirako grinned and continued to reverse Kensei Muguruma's vision.

The six wind lines kept zigzagging and twisting in the air.

Hirako Shinji has already mastered the ability of reverse healing, and even the six wind lines cannot harm him.

“It’s over.” Shinji Hirako smiled slightly and pressed his Zanpakuto against Kensei Rokusha’s back. From this position, if he were to pierce through, he could pierce the heart.

"What!" Kensei Rokusha was shocked to realize that he had been captured by General Shinji Hirako.

He was focused on controlling the direction of the six wind lines and didn't even notice that Shinji Hirako was getting closer to him.

With the knife pressed against his vitals, Kensei Muguruma had no choice but to admit defeat: "I lost... I can't fight you with your abilities!"

He felt that, given similar spiritual pressure levels, there weren't many people who could defeat Hirako Shinji.

"Hirako Shinji has won! Congratulations to Hirako Shinji for taking first place!" July announced the results of the competition.

The outcome of the competition was as expected in July.

It has a strong ability to reverse the flow of emotions, and under the same conditions, it is difficult to get rid of its influence.

If one can outpace Hirako Shinji in reaction speed and keep up with the rhythm of his inversion ability, the effect of the reversed stroke can be broken.

Alternatively, using a wide-area attack could also have a chance to injure him.

However, Kensei Muguruma's reaction speed was similar to Shinji Hirako's, so he couldn't escape the interference of the inverted attack and didn't have any wide-range attack moves, making his defeat inevitable.

Kensei Rokusha and Shinji Hirako walked off the ring together.

Kensei Muguruma saw the boy who had been cheering for him in the stands earlier and ran over.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I still didn't get first place..." Kensei Muguruma scratched the back of his head, feeling that he had let the little boy down.

However, the little boy bypassed him and ran towards Hirako Shinji, pulling a handful of candy from his pocket: "Shinji-nii is amazing, please accept my gift!"

Kensei Rokusha froze on the spot.

"Thank you... I'll accept it then." Hirako Shinji smiled and encouraged, "Practice hard, and you'll become as powerful as me someday."

"When I grow up, I want to study at the Spirit Arts Academy too, and I want to be as powerful as Brother Zhenzi~" The little boy nodded vigorously, and then ran away.

"You brat, you're way too realistic!" Kensei Muguruma's forehead veins bulged as he said to Shinji Hirako, "You were just looking down on me, and now you're all smiles!"

"If you want some, I can share some with you." Hirako Shinji pretended to be generous and handed over a few candies.

"Just you wait, I will definitely defeat you!"

After the competition ended, July also received a series of reward settlement notifications:

After winning the championship, the disciple received a reward of a disciple binding slot!

After taking in Sōya Azashiro and Sōsuke Aizen, his quota of disciples was already full.

We are temporarily unable to bind new disciples.

This opportunity to obtain a disciple binding slot is an alternative to the initial reward for teaching in the advanced training course.

Moreover, it can be obtained repeatedly.

Chapter 131 Promotion and Unexpected Events

Check out the other rewards in July.

I gained a total of 70000 points of basic general experience this time.

The general experience I gained some time ago was not used up, and with the settlement reward from this competition, I have accumulated 125000 general experience.

In July, I invested 100000 general experience points into spiritual pressure, raising my spiritual pressure level from 82 to 84.

There will be 7 more skill proficiency level upgrades this time.

Four of these advancements were to the Ghost Path.

Both "Flying Dragon Strike Thief Thunder Cannon" and "Black Coffin" have been upgraded by one level, reaching the proficiency level.

"White Thunder" has been upgraded by two levels, reaching the Great Perfection.

"Instant Harassment" has also leveled up, reaching the proficiency level.

The other two upgrades were both created in July using the "Thunderfire Blaze" sword technique, which he developed by combining "Raikiri" and "Red Tide".

"Thunder and Fire Spread" has reached the mastery level.

The previous "Thunderfire" dealt more damage to himself than "Lightning Blade" and "Red Tide", and July was unable to use it as a regular move.

Now that "Thunder and Fire Spread" has reached the mastery level, it can be used.

In July, after looking at the prompts on "Flying Dragon Strike Thief Thunder Cannon" and "Black Coffin", I realized that if I wanted to continue improving these high-sequence Ghost Paths, I would first need to continue improving the Ghost Path level.

The remaining 25000 general experience points were invested in the Ghost Path, raising its level from 53 to 62.

The basic panel has changed significantly since July:

[Basic Abilities: Spiritual Pressure lv84, Swordsmanship lv80, Kido lv62, Hakuda lv35, Shunpo lv55]

With the addition of the "Sword Heart Clarity" entry, July's swordsmanship training progressed faster.

Daily swordsmanship instruction will also accumulate some swordsmanship experience rewards.

Most importantly, the Shikatori-ryu secret technique he mastered during the summer vacation gave July a deeper understanding of swordsmanship, raising his swordsmanship level from 61 to 80.

After the competition, Kotetsu Ryōne summoned Shikatori Nanatsuki to her office for a discussion.

"Congratulations, Shikatori-sensei. Captain-Commander Yamamoto has decided that you will be the head of the Swordsmanship Department of the Spirit Arts Academy," Kotetsu Ryone congratulated.

"Thank you for your high regard, Captain-Commander Yamamoto and Dean Kotetsu. I will definitely fulfill my duties as department head," July said with a smile.

“I believe that with Shikatori-sensei’s abilities, he will definitely be able to lead the swordsmanship class at the Spirit Arts Academy even better.” Kotetsu Ryone nodded slightly, then added, “However, there is one more thing I would like to ask for your opinion on.”

"In this cohort of students, there are already six students who have mastered the initial release. The strength of these students far surpasses that of the other students."

"Jun Kuchiki and Noriyuki Omaeda will both graduate next year."

"I plan to choose a suitable task next year as an assessment for early graduation."

"Shikatori-sensei's four disciples, who have also mastered Shikai, should they graduate early together?"

After thinking about it, July realized that Hirako Shinji and the others were indeed far more capable than the other students, and the teaching at the Spirit Arts Academy was no longer of much help to them.

Making them stay in the Spiritual Arts Academy for classes is just a waste of time.

Graduating early and growing through practical experience will lead to greater gains.

"I also agree with letting them graduate early. I'll talk to them about it when I get back." July nodded and agreed.

“Then I will choose a suitable task and have these six people take the graduation exam together,” said Ayane Kotetsu.

After saying goodbye to Ayane Kotetsu in July, he found four disciples in the swordsmanship room.

In July, he informed his disciples of his early graduation.

"What? I'm graduating?" Cilantro Mochi was stunned, as if struck by lightning. "Does that mean I can't eat at the dojo anymore!"
