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

He found himself locked in a closed stone house and tied to a stone pillar.

Kuchiki Sojun is also imprisoned here, tied to another stone pillar, but he hasn't woken up yet.

"I was knocked unconscious by the explosion?" Hirako Shinji quickly recalled what had happened.

He was in a lot of pain, so he quickly checked his condition. He had just used his spiritual pressure to protect his vital points, so the injury wasn't serious.

However, since he no longer had his Zanpakuto, the situation became very bad.

"I have to find a way to get my Zanpakuto back..." Hirako Shinji thought to himself.

He was bound by white ropes, and when he tried, he couldn't break free for a moment.

Moreover, the white rope was suppressing his spiritual pressure, making it impossible for him to even release his demonic power.

However, this does not prevent him from using spiritual pressure blades. He only needs to mobilize a little spiritual pressure to make his fingertips sharp.

Sharp spiritual pressure blades appeared at his fingertips, slicing through the white ropes binding him.

After breaking free of his restraints, Hirako Shinji went to the side and put Kuchiki Sojun down.

"Kushiki the idiot! Wake up!" Hirako Shinji whispered in Kuchiki Sojun's ear. When he still didn't wake up, he slapped him twice.

"Hmm..." Kuchiki Soujun covered his face and got up, looking around and whispering, "We're locked up?"

Kuchiki Sojun also managed to protect his vitals with his spiritual pressure in time, but he was knocked unconscious by the explosion and was not seriously injured.

“Yes, our Zanpakuto has also been taken away. We need to get it back first!” Hirako Shinji walked to the mottled iron gate and looked out through the iron window.

After a moment, Hirako Shinji said in a low voice, "There is a long passage outside, and it is dimly lit. This place may be underground."

"There's a guard outside the passage. We have to take him out before he spots us."

"I'm ready. Once I open the door, I'll sneak over there."

Hirako Shinji stepped forward and used his spiritual pressure blade to cut open the lock, then pushed open the mottled iron door.

squeak-

A piercing sound rang out in the stone house, making the two of them tense up.

"What's that sound? Why are you all out here!"

The green-armored Grim Reaper outside noticed their movements.

"Looks like your plan is going to fall through..." Kuchiki Sōjun couldn't help but roll his eyes. They hadn't even gone out yet, and they had already been discovered.

"Let's just force our way in!" Hirako Shinji awkwardly withdrew his hand.

The green-armored Grim Reaper rapidly approached.

Kuchiki Sōjun raised his right hand: "Hado #32: Yellow Flame Flash!"

A high-speed flame shot rapidly toward the green-armored Reaper.

At the same time, Hirako Shinji swiftly thrust out two fingers, and a spiritual pressure blade shot out from his body.

Shikatori-ryu: Finger Sword!

The spiritual pressure blade was hidden within the flames emitted by Kuchiki Sojun, making it difficult to detect.

The green-armored Grim Reaper swung his long-handled weapon to block the incoming flames, but was pierced through the head by a spiritual pressure blade that burst forth from the flames.

A look of horror froze on the green-armored Grim Reaper's face. He hadn't expected that a student from the Spirit Arts Academy could possess such combat power even without his Zanpakuto.

There was no more noise outside, and Hirako Shinji was the first to go out: "Let's go, it looks like no one's outside."

Chapter 149 Soul-Depriving Vortex

“My Zanpakuto is up there, and it seems there’s another layer above it. We should be underground.” Hirako Shinji looked up at the sky.

"Let's get our Zanpakuto back first." Kuchiki Soujun nodded.

Once a Shinigami communicates with their Zanpakuto and learns its Shikai, a mysterious connection is formed, allowing them to clearly sense the Zanpakuto's location at such close range.

As soon as Hirako Shinji and Kuchiki Sojun stepped out of the dungeon, they felt a strong tremor coming from above.

Many pieces of gravel and dust were shaken off the walls.

“It’s Saito Akane’s spiritual pressure… but it’s strange, it seems to be mixed with something else…” Hirako Shinji’s eyes narrowed. “It’s a bit like… those white-robed spirits.”

“Saito Akane seems to be in a very dangerous state…” Kuchiki Aojun also noticed that Saito Akane’s condition was very strange.

After finding the stairs and leaving the dungeon, the two discovered that the dungeon was built at the bottom of a mountain rock, with more buildings built along the mountainside above.

The location where Saito Akane unleashed her spiritual pressure was at the top of the mountain.

At the mountaintop, many green-armored grim reapers gathered. Saito Akane was trapped on a stone pillar, her eyes lifeless, and a crack appeared on her collarbone, inlaid with a multicolored bead.

At the same time, countless white-robed spirits floated in the air and swirled around Saito Akane, while the beads on her collarbone continuously absorbed the white-robed spirits that approached her.

A white vortex composed of white-robed souls appeared on the mountaintop, an exceptionally spectacular sight.

Hirako Shinji and Kuchiki Sojun could sense that the spiritual pressure fluctuations within Saito Akane's body were abnormally violent, as if it had become a spiritual bomb that could explode at any moment.

The green-armored Grim Reaper on the mountaintop was so engrossed in the white-robed vortex of souls that he didn't notice Hirako Shinji and Kuchiki Sojun, who had escaped from the dungeon.

"The Zanpakuto is in the building in the middle of the mountain. Should we get the sword first or save the person first?" Hirako Shinji was conflicted. He originally wanted to get the sword first, but if he didn't disperse the white-robed spirits gathered on the mountaintop, Saito Akane's spirit would explode at any moment. However, without the Zanpakuto, it would be difficult for the two of them to save Saito Akane.

“They outnumber us, and without a sword, we can’t rescue Saito Akane. I’ll distract them while you sneak over and grab the sword.” Kuchiki Sojun raised his hands and began to chant: “Bone fragments scattered like stars, spires, red crystals, steel wheels, movement is wind, stillness is emptiness, the sound of spears clashing fills the void!”

Kuchiki Sojun immediately unleashed his most powerful Hado technique: "Hado No. 63: Thunder Roar Cannon!"

Lightning crackled from Kuchiki Sojun's hand as a bolt of lightning struck the white-robed soul vortex in the sky.

boom--

After the 'Thunder Roar Cannon' struck the white-robed soul vortex, it created a gap in the white vortex and drew the attention of all the green-armored death gods.

After releasing his Kido, Kuchiki Sojun ran straight out, and eight green-armored Death Gods left the mountain building and chased after him.

This made things much easier for Hirako Shinji, who had infiltrated the mountain building, as the three green-armored Shinigami on the mountaintop did not notice that he had entered the warehouse.

Hirako Shinji quickly found his Zanpakuto in the warehouse. Kuchiki Sōjun's Zanpakuto was also placed with his. He picked up both Zanpakuto and quickly left the warehouse.

However, before he could even feel happy, he bumped into the long-haired white man carrying Kuchiki Soujun as he walked out of the warehouse.

"That blockhead is defeated way too quickly! Couldn't he have held on a little longer?!" Hirako Shinji's face fell. "It's all over now!"

Now that he has no helpers, even if he gets the Zanpakuto, it will be difficult for him to deal with so many people!

Just then, a bolt of lightning struck.

Hirako Shinji was overjoyed; this was the spiritual pressure fluctuation he knew all too well: "Master is here!"

call out--

Shikatori Nanatsuki, his body crackling with lightning, appeared before the white-haired man.

He was carrying Kuchiki Sojun in his hand, and a severed arm was hanging from Kuchiki Sojun's clothes.

The white-haired man was stunned. The severed arm looked strangely familiar. He looked down and was immediately horrified. There was a neat cut on his arm, and his arm had disappeared.

Before he could even react, his arm was severed!

The white-haired man recalled the information about Soul Society and found no such powerful figure. Moreover, this person wasn't wearing a captain's haori. "Is he a rising star who has appeared in the last hundred years...? Which squad's Shinigami is he?"

July smiled and said, "I am a teacher at the Spirit Arts Academy."

"With such strength, you're more than qualified to be a captain, yet you're still a teacher at the Spirit Arts Academy?" The white-haired man frowned. "I am Ryudoji Genryu. I wonder if you know about the Ryudoji clan."

July nodded: "I've heard of them; they were nobles who were exiled in the past."

The white-haired man tried to make empty promises to July: "It would be too much of a waste for a strong person like you to only be a teacher at the Spirit Arts Academy. Why not join my Ryudoji clan? In the future, we can launch a counterattack against the Soul Society together, and you will become the captain-commander of the First Division!"

"That won't be necessary." July curled his lip. If he could lead this bunch of weaklings to conquer Soul Society, why wouldn't he go it alone?

call out--

Four figures appeared behind July.

Kana Mochi, Kensei Rokusha, Jin'emon Kotsubaki, and Noriyuki Omaeda also rushed over.

Kotsubaki Jin'emon was lucky; he didn't encounter any enemies on the way, but instead ran into Nanatsu and the others.

The white vortex here is creating a great commotion; the spiritual pressure fluctuations can be sensed from a great distance.

After sensing the spiritual pressure fluctuations from the white vortex, July immediately rushed over.

"You guys go and disperse those 'spirits'." July glanced at the green-armored Grim Reapers who had surrounded them, and tossed Kuchiki Sojun to Ōmaeda Kinosuke. "Leave these people to me."

"Don't even think about getting past!" A green-armored grim reaper wielding a large hammer tried to block their path, but suddenly felt a scorching airflow behind him.

The green-armored Grim Reaper's chest exploded with a deafening roar!

Bang!

July's hand pierced through the chest of the green-armored Grim Reaper, but not a drop of blood flowed from the wound; the blood was evaporated by the raging flames on his arm.

July exuded a terrifying aura.

Instantaneous Red Tide Form!

This form is not as fast as 'Instant Rage: Raikiri', but it is more powerful, second only to the 'Raiden Blaze' form with the strongest explosive power.

July slightly bowed her head to dodge the attack of a spinning scythe, and then kicked back with great speed.

The green-armored Grim Reaper, gripping the scythe chain, widened his eyes instantly.

He saw a companion wielding a greatsword get kicked to pieces, sword and all.

Bang!

The greatsword in the green-armored grim reaper's hand was kicked apart by a terrifying force, sending countless fragments flying in all directions, causing the surrounding green-armored grim reapers to scramble to dodge.

The fragments that struck July were deflected by the terrifying spiritual pressure emanating from him.

July's flying kick, still powerful, struck the green-armored Grim Reaper in the abdomen, tearing his body in two with terrifying force.

Faced with July's terrifying explosive power, these green-armored Grim Reapers were unable to even land a follow-up attack.

Chapter 150 Beads of Longing

"Stop!" The white-haired man was furious when he saw that Qiyue had killed several of his clansmen.

He drew his longsword from his waist, and a dozen 'soul-devouring' creatures flew down from the sky and were sucked into the sword.

The longsword, having absorbed the 'Soul Deprivation', emitted a powerful green light.

However, before he could make a further move, a streak of light arrived in an instant and severed his remaining hand.

"Lord Yanlong!" the green-armored Grim Reaper exclaimed.

"Too slow," July said softly. "Haven't you fully mastered the use of 'Soul Deprivation' yet?"

He remembered this white-haired man. In the future, these green-armored Shinigami could use "debt of souls" to enhance their strength. The white-haired man could fight Ichigo in Bankai to a standstill and even dreamed of destroying Soul Society and the human world.

"go to hell!"

The green-armored Grim Reaper summoned a group of 'Soul-Debt' beings, and dozens of 'Soul-Debt' beings exploded around July.

Boom boom boom boom——

The continuous explosions sent dust and smoke billowing across the area.

A few breaths later, the green-armored Grim Reapers saw a huge black shadow in the dust and mist.

Then, a giant flaming blade pierced through the dust and mist.

Only then did the long-haired man and the green-armored Grim Reapers realize that the giant black shadow was actually an extremely imposing fire-armored giant.

Shichiru Shichi was in the center of the Flame Armor Giant, and the explosion hadn't hurt him at all.

Dust-bound Flame Armor!

The terrifying pressure emanating from the Flame Armor Giant made the long-haired man and the green-armored Grim Reapers momentarily unable to muster the will to resist.

The Flame Armor Giant raised its massive flaming blade and slammed it down towards the Green Armored Reapers.

The flaming blade slammed into the ground, creating dense cracks that spread across the surface, eventually shattering the ground into countless fragments.

boom! ! !

The long-haired man and the green-armored Grim Reapers' bodies were torn apart by immense force and evaporated by terrifying heat, decomposing into the most ordinary spiritual particles, which then merged with the earth.
