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

"This should be the Valley of Crying. We were brought into the Valley of Crying by the spiritual pressure turbulence." Kensei Rokusha rubbed his hands.

"Let's go, let's find our companions first before leaving here," July said.

In July, Kensei Rokusha and Noriyuki Omaeda headed towards Kana Mochishiro's location.

Cilantro from Mole City is not far from here, but July sensed that there were other high-spiritual-pressure individuals in this space called Valley, and they were right over Cilantro's side.

When July arrived at the scene, she saw Kana Mochishiro fighting two Grim Reapers dressed in green armor.

"How come there are Death Gods here?" July frowned, but the green armor on the two people reminded him of some memories.

These two must be exiled nobles.

In July, he swiftly drew his sword, and a streak of light slashed through the valley.

A Grim Reaper who was about to ambush Kana Mochi was shocked to find his vision spinning, and then he saw a headless body.

"This body type... looks like mine..."

A thought flashed through the head in mid-air, and it wasn't until it hit the ground that it realized it had been beheaded. But before it could think any further, it was plunged into eternal darkness.

The remaining person was greatly alarmed when he saw his companion suddenly fall to the ground.

Just as he was distracted, Mochishiro Kana lunged forward, raised her knife, and swiftly thrust it out.

Shikatori Style: Instant Strike!

The Zanpakuto pierced through his throat, and the green-armored Shinigami clutched his throat as he slowly collapsed to the ground.

"Teacher!" Cilantro Mochishiro wiped the blood off the knife.

"What's going on with these two? Why are you fighting?" July asked.

"They claimed to be from the Ryudoji family, and attacked me as soon as they saw me," Kana Mochishiro replied.

“Ryudoji? He must have been a nobleman who was exiled in the past?” July stroked his chin. He vaguely remembered the green armor, but he couldn’t recall the surname.

“The Ryudoji clan? I know them. Like the Kasumioji family who were exiled not long ago, they were a family that was exiled before, I think for treason,” said Ōmaeda Kinosugu.

“The Ryudoji family has a grudge against the Grim Reaper. It seems this ‘Call Valley Space’ is very unsafe. We should find the others and leave here as soon as possible,” July said.

In July, he picked up the longswords of the two green-armored Shinigami and examined them; these were not ordinary Zanpakuto.

"Disordered spiritual pressure fluctuations..." July could sense the chaotic spiritual pressure fluctuations emanating from this sword, which were completely different from those of a Zanpakuto.

He concentrated his spiritual pressure in his hand, and the blade was shattered by the terrifying spiritual pressure.

Some spirits dressed in white robes flew out from the fragments of the longsword.

"A weapon made with 'Soul Deprivation'..." July understood.

The Valley of Cry was formed by the gathering of souls that were accidentally sucked into the Dangai during their reincarnation in the human world and the Soul Society.

These souls that reside in the Valley Space are called 'Souls Deprived'.

The Green Armor Reaper's weapon is made from many 'souls' and possesses some peculiar abilities.

...

"Cough cough—" Hirako Shinji climbed out of the pit, spitting out a mouthful of sand. "Where is this place?"

“We must have fallen into the ‘Calling Valley Space’.” Kuchiki Sojun stood on a high place, gazing into the distance.

"There are only the two of us here. Were we blown away by the spiritual turbulence?" Hirako Shinji instantly appeared next to Kuchiki Sojun.

Kuchiki Sojun raised his hand and pointed to the west: "I just sensed a spiritual pressure fluctuation there. It was the spiritual pressure fluctuation of that Saito Akane. There were also a few unfamiliar spiritual pressure fluctuations, but I couldn't sense them for long."

"There's nothing here..." Hirako Shinji sensed nothing and continued, "It might be hidden. Let's go take a look. In this unfamiliar place, it's always good to have another companion."

A moment later, Kuchiki Sōjun brought Hirako Shinji to the place where he sensed the spiritual pressure fluctuations, but they did not find Saitō Akane.

“Rotten wood, there’s blood here.” Hirako Shinji’s expression was grave. “It seems this ‘Calling Valley Space’ isn’t safe.”

Hirako Shinji found a blood-stained stone; the blood was very fresh, indicating it had been left not long ago.

Kuchiki Sojun took out a small bottle from his pocket, unscrewed it, and poured some powder onto the blood.

When the powder came into contact with the blood, it turned into red spiritual particles, which condensed into a line in the air and stretched into the distance.

"The owner of the blood went in that direction," Kuchiki Sojun said after putting away the bottle.

“Let’s go and see, maybe that’s our examiner,” said Hirako Shinji.

The two followed the red thread of the spirit and moved forward at high speed.

"Something seems a bit off."

As he closed the distance, Hirako Shinji sensed the spiritual pressure fluctuations ahead: "Saito Akane's spiritual pressure fluctuations are very weak; she must be seriously injured."

“There are many enemies.” Kuchiki Sojun frowned. “It seems we’ve been discovered.”

They sensed that the spiritual pressure ahead had been diverted, and three people were rapidly approaching them.

The enemy was quite powerful, having even managed to defeat Saito Akane. The two dared not be careless and immediately unleashed their Zanpakuto.

"Fall down, Nifu!"

"Bloom, Thousand Butterflies!"

Just after they released their Zanpakuto, three red fireballs shot towards them.

Upon seeing the red fireball, Hirako Shinji's pupils dilated slightly: "The Crimson Fire Cannon?!"

He also knows the Crimson Fire Cannon and is quite familiar with this demonic path, so he would never mistake it.

bang bang bang-

Kuchiki Sojun manipulated the Butterfly Blade Formation to block the three fireballs.

"Our enemy is Death?" Kuchiki Sojun looked solemnly in the direction from which the Red Fire Cannon had come.

Soon, three figures dressed in green armor appeared in front of the two.

"What's going on today? So many 'guests' have arrived," said a green-armored grim reaper carrying two boxes.

"This looks like the uniform of a student from the Spirit Arts Academy. Was the one we just captured their teacher?" said the green-armored Grim Reaper holding a crossbow.

"Their swords have been unleashed! Don't be careless, take them down quickly!" The green-armored Grim Reaper, carrying a greatsword, raised it and charged towards Hirako Shinji.

"Oh dear, so you're coming after me... Well, you've got the wrong person!" Hirako Shinji's Zanpakuto spun in his hand.

The Grim Reaper, wielding a greatsword, was startled to find himself circling back and forth in the same spot.

Then, the butterfly-shaped blade formation rushed towards him, but he was unable to create any distance between himself and the formation.

The butterfly-shaped blade formation quickly engulfed the greatsword Reaper.

"what!!!"

"Stop!" Both the crossbow-wielding Death God and the box-carrying Death God were filled with rage and launched attacks on the two, trying to stop their assault.

More than ten darts connected by wires shot out from the box behind the Grim Reaper.

At the same time, the Grim Reaper also fired his arrows.

These darts and arrows explode upon contact.

bang bang bang-

A series of explosions rang out, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Chapter 148 Calling Valley and Depriving Soul

The explosions continued incessantly, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Many 'souls' emerged from the ground and poured into the box behind the green-armored Reaper, continuing to provide him with 'ammunition'.

However, after the smoke cleared, all that could be seen was the green-armored Grim Reaper lying on the ground, wielding a greatsword.

The butterfly-shaped sword formation formed a tight defense, blocking Hirako Shinji and Kuchiki Sojun's path.

"The fourth broken path, Bai Lei!"

Hirako Shinji's voice rang out from behind the Butterfly Blade Formation. The Butterfly Blade Formation cooperated by making way for an opening, from which a bolt of lightning shot out and struck the Green-Armored Reaper.

The green-armored Reaper could only stop firing 'ammunition' to dodge the white lightning attack.

However, just as the green-armored Reaper finished changing positions and was about to refire the 'ammunition' on his back, he sensed a spiritual pressure fluctuation coming from behind him.

"Oops!"

"Hado 33 - Azure Fire Fall!" Kuchiki Sojun stood behind the green-armored Shinigami, his raised hand radiating a brilliant blue light.

Nourishes—

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of the green-armored Grim Reaper's mouth as he slowly looked down; a large hole had been blasted into his chest.

"How could it be... behind..." The green-armored Grim Reaper collapsed to the ground.

"With your vision obscured by the Thousand-Branch Butterfly, you naturally can't see that I've already left that spot," Kuchiki Sojun said calmly, raising his head slightly.

"You blockhead, get out of the way!"

Shinji Hirako's voice came from behind.

Kuchiki Sojun quickly retreated, and an arrow shot from a distance grazed past him.

boom--

The arrow exploded with a deafening roar, and Kuchiki Sojun was thrown back by the blast.

Hirako Shinji appeared behind him, grabbed him by the back of his neck with his clothes, and instantly disappeared.

call out--

Another arrow shot over and landed where Kuchiki Sojun had just been standing.

boom--

"We haven't even dealt with the enemy yet, what are you showing off for!" Hirako Shinji rolled his eyes.

"Sorry..." Kuchiki Aojun was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "There's only one enemy left, let's take him down together."

“That enemy escaped. He wasn’t looking in my direction and wasn’t affected by the ‘reverse touch’,” Hirako Shinji said helplessly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining green-armored grim reaper shot two arrows and then fled.

"Hurry up and chase after him, otherwise if he joins up with the other enemies, it will arouse their suspicion," Hirako Shinji said.

Kuchiki Sojun nodded and chased after them with Hirako Shinji.

Their Instant Step speed was faster than the Green Armor Reaper's, and they quickly caught up with him.

"You can't escape!" Hirako Shinji grinned, raising his left hand. "Hado..."

Just then, he saw a man with long white hair appear next to the green-armored Grim Reaper.

At the same time, many spirit creatures dressed in white robes appeared beneath his and Kuchiki Sojun's feet.

"What is this?" A thought flashed through Hirako Shinji's mind.

The white-haired man raised his hand, and white-robed spirit creatures surrounded him.

"not good!"

The group of white-robed spirit beings surrounding Hirako Shinji and Kuchiki Sojun suddenly exploded like spirit bombs.

Boom boom boom boom——

...

While Hirako Shinji was in a daze, he vaguely heard what sounded like conversations outside the door.

"These Grim Reapers must have been swept in by the spiritual energy turbulence, which means that their disappearance should not attract the attention of Seireitei."

"These are rare materials. It's perfect for Lord Yanlong to experiment with whether he can fuse the 'Remembrance Bead' with the Grim Reaper to better utilize the power of 'Soul Deprivation'."

"The two people locked up here don't seem to be official Grim Reapers."

"They must be students from the Spirit Arts Academy. I didn't expect the students from the Spirit Arts Academy to be so powerful now, actually defeating Ichitaki and Rokufumi."

"They will release their Shikai, so once we take away their Zanpakuto, they won't be a threat anymore."

squeak-

A jarring slam of the door rang out, completely waking Hirako Shinji.
