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

Chapter 145 The practice of Swastika

One year later, in a desolate mountain in the outer district.

This place was originally a mine of murderous stones, and July has already hollowed out most of it.

He deliberately left some murderous stones in the outer area, and then built a laboratory in the hollowed-out interior space.

In the laboratory, Aizen Sousuke, Hoshino Rie, and Shikari Nanatsuki were busy with their own tasks.

On the operating table in front of July, lay a boy.

This is a spirit skeleton he created using spirit skeleton technology.

However, this spirit remains has not yet awakened its consciousness; it is essentially in a vegetative state.

After the laboratory was built, July decided to practice using the spirit corpse technology.

Aizen Sousuke grew rapidly. Under July's guidance, in just one year, his knowledge of Daoist practices, medicine, and spiritual entities reached a level higher than that of the Fourth Division members.

They've reached a point where they can assist July.

July was checking the various data of the spirit body. He had not yet awakened the spirit's self-awareness. It was a spirit body without consciousness, so he felt no psychological pressure using it for experiments.

Without turning his head, July said, "Sousuke, is the extract ready?"

Aizen Sousuke handed over a test tube containing a white liquid: "It's ready and can be used anytime."

July nodded gently, took the test tube, and checked the liquid inside: "The extraction was done very well. Your technique is becoming more and more proficient."

Aizen Sousuke humbly replied, "It is all thanks to my teacher's dedicated guidance."

July turned to look at the busy Hoshino Rie: "Rie, is the catalyst ready?"

Hoshino Rie quickly replied, "Soon..."

After a while, Hoshino Rie handed over a blue reagent: "I'm sorry, I was too slow in preparing it!"

"There's no need to rush," July said gently. "You usually work in the Fourth Division, so it's already very gratifying for the teacher that you can come and help."

In July, the blue reagent was drawn out with a syringe and then injected into a test tube containing a white liquid.

After stirring, the blue liquid in the test tube disappeared, and the color returned to pure white.

In July, they changed the syringe and injected the white liquid from the test tube into the spirit body.

The veins on Linghai's arm swelled up two or three times their normal size, and were clearly visible even when hidden under the skin.

When the white liquid came into contact with the blood, it seemed to come alive inside the blood vessels, causing the entire blood vessel to twist wildly under the skin.

At that moment, it felt as if a small white snake had burrowed into the spirit's skin and was wriggling beneath it.

The small white snake in the spirit's arm rapidly expanded and spread, and some white substance seeped out from the blood vessels.

The entire forearm swelled up, and the white substance stretched the fingers into long, narrow shapes, growing sharp claws.

This change quickly spread throughout the body, and the entire body of the spirit skeleton was undergoing drastic changes.

The changes in the spirit body suddenly stopped abruptly the next moment.

The expanded white substance rapidly disintegrated and collapsed; some decomposed into spirit particles that gradually dissipated in the air, while others lost their activity and fell onto the operating table.

A moment later, the operating table was a mess.

"It's not that simple after all." July was not surprised by the changes in the spirit remains.

The experiment he is trying to perform is to make the spirit body ethereal.

The white liquid was extracted and separated from the pair of 'divinely bestowed weapons' that allowed Death to use the power of the Resonance.

Research has revealed that these "divinely bestowed weapons" are props created using some kind of illusory body.

This is a rather special Void; feeding it with spirit particles allows it to proliferate and divide.

This special ability provided the laboratory in July with a lot of raw materials.

"I've made some progress in improving the catalyst. I'll try again next time. You guys tidy up the operating table and record the experiment. I have to go to the Spiritual Arts Academy for class."

After finishing his speech in July, he left the laboratory.

After the laboratory was established, I was able to receive new teaching assignments in July.

He now leads his students in experiments and receives experimental teaching assignments.

He glanced at the information on the panel:

[Guiding Aizen Sousuke in the Hollowfication Experiment (Completed)]

[Guiding Hoshino Rie in the Spirit Remains Etherealization Experiment (Completed)]

In this experiment, July allowed Aizen Sousuke and Hoshino Rie to observe and learn throughout the entire process.

The two experimental teaching tasks were completed after the experiment ended.

This experimental teaching task is not unique, but each student can only receive a reward once in a single experiment.

Unlike cultivation missions, experimental teaching missions do not require disciples to fully master the experimental skill; as long as they make some progress, they can receive a reward.

The rewards for experimental tasks are dynamically calculated based on the experimental content; the greater the investment and the longer the cycle of the experiment, the greater the reward.

After the rewards were settled, a total of 30000 general experience points were obtained in July.

In July, he poured all his general experience into his spiritual pressure, raising it from level 89 to level 90.

Third-class spiritual power!

After a year of hard work and growth, July's spiritual pressure has finally reached the level of a captain.

His panel has changed a lot:

[Basic Abilities: Spiritual Pressure lv90, Swordsmanship lv85, Kido lv70, Hakuda lv60, Shunpo lv60]

During this year, his fighting skills have also improved, and now he no longer has any obvious weaknesses.

......

dong dong——

Not long after I arrived at the office in July, there was a knock on the door.

After becoming the head of the fencing department, he also had his own office, so he no longer had to sit outside and work with other people.

"Come in." July poured herself a cup of tea to moisten her mouth, preparing for class later.

It was Duanmu Zongjie who came in.

"Minister, Dean Kotetsu is looking for you," Duanmu Zongjie said.

"Is it in a hurry? I'm about to start class," July asked.

"I don't know... Dean Kotetsu didn't say either... He just told me to call you over when I see the department head." Duanmu Zongjie scratched his head. "Then I'll take the department head's class this morning."

"Then I'll trouble you, Sosuke-kun. I'll cover your afternoon classes for you." July nodded gently.

In July, he doesn't like to make his subordinates work overtime unnecessarily.

"That's great! I have a blind date tonight anyway, so I can go back early to prepare." Duanmu Zongjie left the office happily.

After finishing his tea in July, he went to the dean's office.

"Dean Kotetsu, is there something you need?" July asked.

"The graduation assessment tasks have been assigned." Ayane Kotetsu pushed a document over. "So I asked Captain Shikatori to come and take a look at this and get a feel for the information beforehand."

Kuchiki Kura Jun, Ōmaeda Kinosuke, and the four students from July all applied for early graduation.

They need to pass the graduation exam to graduate early.

The one in charge of leading them on their mission was Shikagiri Nanatsuki.

In July, I picked up the manuscript to review it; it was a task list.

Upon seeing the mission location, July paused slightly, "The mission location is Hueco Mundo?"

Ayane Kotetsu nodded and explained, "The assessment for graduating early is more rigorous than the practical assessment for graduating normally, but the Soul Society and the human world have been relatively peaceful recently, so there is really no more suitable mission than this."

After the Quincy extermination campaign ended last year, the remaining Quincy in the human world went into hiding, and there haven't been any cases of Quincy attacking Shinigami for a long time.

This allowed the Shinigami stationed in the mortal realm to focus on dealing with Hollows, making the mortal realm much calmer than before.

"But wouldn't going to Hueco Mundo be a bit too difficult?" July frowned slightly. "Even if they've already learned Shikai, they're still just students who haven't graduated yet, and they lack practical experience."

Ayane Kotetsu explained, "Don't worry too much. This mission is to transport supplies to support the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force."

"You are only going to transport supplies; you don't need to stay there and participate in the war."

"Hueco Mundo is barren, while the expeditionary force is full of death gods and has a great need for supplies. Missions like this, which transport supplies, are quite common and usually do not involve much danger."

Ayane Kotetsu then took out another map: "This is a map of Hueco Mundo. Once you get to Hueco Mundo, do not go to any dangerous places. Complete your mission as soon as possible and come back soon."

"Thank you for informing me, Dean. I will prepare well to ensure the assessment proceeds smoothly." July nodded and took the map.

The map marks the locations of the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force, Las Noches Palace, Menreiki Forest, and Hueco Mundo Desert.

There are also several known dangerous areas where powerful Hollows reside.

"Do you remember Ashido?" Ayane Kotetsu asked with a smile. "The Grim Reaper you were dealing with this time on your supply delivery mission was Ashido."

“Minister Asido…it’s been a long time.” July recalled the red-haired man.

They haven't seen each other since Asido went to Hueco Mundo.

July quickly recalled some memories from her past life—this red-haired man remained in Hueco Mundo in the future, and when Rukia met him in the Forest of Menreiki, he was still alone.

This is very strange. After Asido went to Hueco Mundo, he became the captain of the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force.

As the captain leading an expeditionary force, one should not appear alone in the Great Void Forest.

"It seems that encountering him in Hueco Mundo is not a good thing," July thought to herself.

To prevent any accidents, he decided to make some preparations before going to Hueco Mundo.

Hueco Mundo has many powerful Hollows, and encountering one of them would be very dangerous.

......

Shikamori Nanatsuki's laboratory was divided into two parts.

One part was used for experiments, and the other part was separated by him to serve as a training ground.

Because of the Killing Stone, whatever he does here will remain unknown to the outside world.

In July, she took out a white humanoid doll.

This white humanoid doll is the "Transformation Body" he obtained before.

"Transformation of the Divine Body" is a shortcut to quickly cultivate 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!

Inserting the Zanpakuto into the white doll will allow you to materialize the Zanpakuto.

The materialized Zanpakuto can be maintained for three days.

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

July's spiritual pressure has now reached the captain level, and she already possesses the ability to train for Bankai.

In July, the Shadow Princess was pulled out and inserted into the white doll.

The Shadow Princess and the white doll slowly disappeared together.

In July, feeling something, I looked down and saw that my shadow had quietly separated into a dark shape.

The shadowy figure rapidly expanded, soon covering the entire training ground and turning it black.

Something seemed to be flowing within the shadows on the ground, wriggling irregularly.

Gradually, the shadow stretched into the air and coalesced into a girl with long, straight black hair.

"I've come to reality~" Shadow Princess lifted her skirt, twirled around, and appeared very lively.

"Shadow Princess, we've finally met in reality," July said slowly.

"Yes, that means Master has grown to a considerable level, but..." Shadow Princess smiled sweetly, "If you want to use more abilities, you'll need to defeat me first~"
