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

July didn't want Seireitei to know that he had so many killing intent stones. Killing intent stones that could isolate spiritual particles were considered strategic resources in Seireitei, and if others knew about them, it would probably attract their attention.

With the ghost path clearing the way, you can dig it out slowly on your own.

Moreover, given his strength, even if mishandling the situation leads to the collapse of the mine, it won't trap him.

Chapter 133 Hikifune Kiryu’s invitation

A month later, in July, she received an unexpected invitation.

A Shinigami from the 12th Division brings Kiryu Hikifune an invitation.

"Captain Hikifune invited me to visit the Twelfth Division?" July was a little surprised to receive an invitation from Hikifune Kiryu.

He had only met Hikifune Kiryu once or twice, and they weren't very close.

"Yes, the captain invited Shikatoshi-sensei to the 12th Division to enjoy some delicious food." The Shinigami of the 12th Division nodded.

"Since it's Captain Hikifune's invitation, I'd be impolite to refuse." July didn't expect Hikifune Kiryu to be so enthusiastic, even inviting him to try some delicious food.

In July, he followed the Shinigami soldiers to the 12th Division.

The current Twelfth Division hasn't been transformed into the Technology Development Bureau yet, so it doesn't have the same futuristic feel as it does now.

However, there is also a technology research department here, where Shutara Senjumaru once worked.

The Shinigami soldiers led July to the barracks area, where July met Hikifune Kiryu in an open courtyard.

Kiryuu's appearance surprised July.

She has gained some weight.

When we last met, Kiryuki Hikifune was still quite slim.

Kiryu Hikifune has now entered the ranks of slightly chubby.

July possesses memories of her past life and is well aware of what this change means.

The fattening of the Hikifugu tree is actually a way of accumulating spiritual pressure!

"Captain Yeo-fu, your spiritual pressure is strange. Has the 'Temporary Soul' technology been perfected?" July asked.

This technology is also something that July values ​​highly.

Kiryu Hikifune's "Temporary Soul" technology is the technique for creating temporary souls and placing them into living organisms.

It differs from the spirit body technology, which still requires the spirit particles of other Grim Reapers as a foundation to create a spirit body.

However, this is not a complete soul. Souls created using the spirit body technology are incomplete, have fundamental defects, are vastly different from ordinary spirits, are cruel, and cannot grow.

The "temporary soul" technology is different; it is the foundation for future prosthetic soul and prosthetic body technologies.

It has the potential to create a complete soul.

July even felt that this was a technology that could potentially affect the balance of souls in the Three Realms.

However, the "temporary soul" technology was only in its infancy. It wasn't until Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi's generation that a complete soul was truly created using spirit particles.

"Oh my, Shikatori-kun knows about this too?" Hikifune Kiryu asked in surprise.

“I heard it from Baiyunzhai.” July nodded.

Kirinji Tenjiro told Shikatori Hakunsai that the "temporary soul" technology that Hikifune Kiryu was researching might be able to completely solve her spiritual pressure core problem in the future.

"The 'Temporary Soul' technology hasn't reached the point of creating complete souls yet, but it can already function in some areas." Kiryu patted July on the shoulder. "This is all thanks to Shikatori-kun's Soul-Gathering Pill, which gave me some inspiration to perfect the 'Temporary Soul' technology!"

Previously, Kirinji Tenjiro made the super-large Nasushin (Spirit Gathering Pill) in Hikifune Kiryu's laboratory, so Hikifune Kiryu also witnessed the production process of the super-large Nasushin.

July was slightly taken aback. His Soul-Gathering Pill seemed to have enabled Yizhou Tongsheng to perfect the "Temporary Soul" technology ahead of schedule.

"So, I'm going to cook a delicious meal to properly thank Shikato-kun!" Kiryu Hikifune laughed loudly.

Hikifune Kiryu’s delicious food!

I'm really looking forward to July because the tung tree has grown bigger and plumper.

This means that she has accumulated spiritual pressure using the "temporary soul" technique, which can be injected into food during cooking.

Eating the food she cooks can increase spiritual pressure!

This is a rare way to increase spiritual pressure in Soul Society without any side effects.

Even though Kiryu hasn't gotten so fat that his face is obscured yet, and the effect won't be as dramatic as when Ichigo Kurosaki ate at the Soul King's Palace, it's still enough to make July look forward to it.

Kiryuu took Shikatori Nanatsuki to a restaurant and they quickly got to work.

Yizhou Tongsheng cooks extremely fast; in less than half an hour, he had laid out more than a dozen dishes on the table.

After she finished cooking, she lost 30 pounds and her figure returned to a slim shape from her previous slightly chubby appearance.

"Shikatori-kun, please try it! You must finish it all!" Kiryu said enthusiastically.

"Thank you for the treat!" July couldn't wait to start eating.

Kiryu's culinary skills were no less than his own; aside from the dishes he made himself, this was the first time he had tasted food of this caliber in Soul Society.

July quickly devoured the food on the table, patted her bloated belly, and exclaimed, "Captain Yezhou's cooking is so delicious!"

Kiryu smiled and said, "I've heard that Shikatori-kun's cooking skills are also quite good. I hope to be able to taste Shikatori-kun's cooking next time."

In July, she felt the spiritual pressure within her body growing rapidly.

He glanced at the panel; his spiritual pressure level was fluctuating rapidly.

84...85......88!

The food prepared by Kiryuu caused July's spiritual pressure level to rise directly from level 84 to level 88!

“Please invite Captain Hikifune to visit Shikatori Dojo next time.” July paused, then continued, “I feel my spiritual pressure has increased quite a bit.”

July released her spiritual pressure.

"This is the application of the 'Temporary Soul' technique. While cooking, I infused the food with my accumulated spiritual pressure, allowing you to absorb it through the food." Kiryuu, sensing Shikari Nanatsu's spiritual pressure, exclaimed in surprise, "Shikari-kun's spiritual pressure... is already quite close to captain level."

"Thanks to Captain Yizhou's help," July said gratefully.

"I'm also thanking you for the inspiration from your Soul Absorption Pill," Kiryuu chuckled. "Without the inspiration from the Soul Absorption Pill, we wouldn't have been able to perfect the 'Temporary Soul' technology so quickly."

After the meal, Kiryuki Hikifune showed Shichigiri Nanatsuki around her laboratory.

Her lab has a small staff, with only eight research personnel.

In July, she noticed one of the young men with short, light-yellow hair.

【Kisuke Urahara】

[Talent: SS]

[Spiritual Pressure: 75]

[Reputation Level: Unknown]

Kisuke Urahara's talent is actually SS!

In terms of combat potential, he is inferior to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and Aizen Sosuke.

It is obvious that he made it into the SS ranks through his exceptional intellect.

"The fact that you, Shikatori-kun, were able to develop a drug like the Nalingdan shows that you also have great research talent," Hikifune Kiryu said with a smile. "My laboratory really needs someone like Shikatori-kun."

Kiryuki's words gave July some ideas.

Kiryuu Hikifune perfected the "Temporary Soul" technology ahead of schedule.

According to his memories from his previous life, Kiryu Hikifune was promoted to the Zero Squad because he invented the "temporary soul" technology.

In other words, Kiryu Hikifune is very likely to be promoted to Squad Zero ahead of schedule!

The captaincy of the 12th Division will be vacant at that time.

I was starting to feel a little tempted in July.

Kisuke Urahara has not yet reached the captain level, and it is very likely that even after reaching the captain level in July, he will still not have reached the captain level.

If we make a push in July, we have a very good chance of securing the position of captain of the 12th Division before Kisuke Urahara.

Chapter 134 Kiryu's Laboratory

Kiryuu has perfected the "temporary soul" technology ahead of schedule, and is very likely to be promoted to the Zero Division ahead of time.

In other words, the position of captain of the 12th Division will likely be vacant for a period of time.

July's thoughts began to stir.

In the future, the only two candidates who can compete for the position of captain of the 12th Division are Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Kisuke Urahara is still too young; it will take him some time to mature.

I am confident that I will reach captain level before Kisuke Urahara in July.

Another research talent, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, had been known by name in July, two weeks prior.

He was imprisoned in the Maggot Nest prison after the Second Division discovered that he was secretly researching Quincy.

According to the normal course of events, Urahara Kisuke will only be rescued from the maggot's nest once he becomes the captain.

Therefore, in July, all you need to do is raise your strength to captain level before Kisuke Urahara does.

He could then take the position of captain of the 12th Division and inherit the laboratory left behind by Kiryu Hikifune, Shutara Senjumaru, and others.

July has now mastered the technology of spirit remains, and also has a high level of Dao return and rich medical knowledge, which gives him a deep understanding of the spirit body.

They already possess the foundation for conducting research on spirits.

Inheriting the laboratory left by Kiryu Hikifune, Shutara Senjumaru, and others would greatly help his research on spirits.

The research resources that the captain of the 12th Division can access are also unparalleled by ordinary people.

He could also, like Kisuke Urahara, transform the 12th Division into a technology development bureau, recruiting researchers to assist him in his research.

Moreover, the reputation of Shikatori Dojo has already been established, so recruiting new disciples is no longer a problem.

Even if he resigns from his teaching position at the Spirit Arts Academy, he can still recruit disciples.

Like Unohana, she could also give several swordsmanship lectures at the Spirit Arts Academy each semester, and incidentally scout for talent.

"Captain, Soul Number 69 is starting to dissipate," Kisuke Urahara shouted to Kiryu Hikifune.

Shikatoki Nanatsuki followed Hikifune Kiryu to a transparent glass jar.

The glass jar contained a highly concentrated spiritual liquid, and a clump of unidentified substance floated in the spiritual liquid.

At first glance, the floating object looked like a strangely shaped cyst.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this is a collection of hundreds or even thousands of tiny lumps.

Kiryuu explained to Shikatori Nanatsuki, "This is a relatively early experimental subject. We are trying to use spirit particle clusters to assemble a rodent spirit body, and use spirit particle clusters to construct organs and body."

"Unfortunately, it did not achieve the expected results. These clusters of spirit particles condensed together but failed to develop self-awareness; they simply became a larger 'organ'."

"Unable to develop consciousness?" A thought struck July. "Then can this technology be used to cultivate organs?"

"Based on needs, organs that can adapt to the host can be cultivated to heal some injuries that the Dao cannot heal. This does not require cultivating a soul that has given birth to consciousness... such as a spiritual pressure core."

"The organs that can be cultivated have even been successfully transplanted into a Shinigami." Kiryuu sighed slightly and continued, "You want to cure the spiritual pressure core of Hakunsai, right?"

"There are still two problems to be faced in using this technology to cultivate a spiritual pressure core to replace the spiritual pressure core of the Baiyunzai."

"As you can see, these clusters of spirit particles are breaking down."

"They do not have the ability to absorb external spiritual particles; their own spiritual particles are still spreading outward. As a result, the spiritual particles within the spiritual particle cluster become fewer and fewer. When the spiritual particles decrease to a certain limit, the spiritual particle cluster can no longer be maintained."

"Therefore, these creations have only a very short lifespan and are definitely not suitable for making spiritual pressure cores."

July nodded. After looking at it for a while, he could also see that the cyst had entered a state of failure and was collapsing and dissipating.

Kiryuki continued, "However, thanks to Shikagiri-kun, I gained some inspiration from the Spirit Absorption Pill and improved the structure of the Spirit Wall, giving it the ability to absorb spirit particles."

Kiryuu led Shikari Nanatsuki to another glass jar.

This glass jar also contains a mass of spiritual particles soaking in a highly concentrated spiritual liquid.

Kiryuki smiled and said, "The experimental results are very encouraging. The improved spirit particle wall not only gives the spirit particle cluster the ability to absorb spirit particles, but also suppresses the rate at which spirit particles dissipate."

“Look—it’s still ‘alive,’ but it has no independent consciousness.”
