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

Chapter 155 Myriad Manifestations Shadow Robe

Adjuchas broke free from the shadow's restraints and sensed that the number of Hollows outside had decreased by more than half, which enraged him.

"How dare you ruin my plans!"

Adjuchas's body rapidly transformed, quickly turning into a human form.

After consuming the spirits of the Shinigami, he did not gain the power of the Zanpakuto, but he did gain their memories and mastered the Shinigami's "Sword-Slaying Demon-Walking Technique".

Adjuchas transformed into human form in order to better utilize the 'Slashing Fist and Walking Ghost' technique.

The shadows before July coalesced into a knife.

Grip the hilt of the knife, use the shadow on the ground to charge your fingers, and instantly unleash a streak of light.

thump—

With a soft drumbeat, Adjuchas vanished from the spot.

The light slash missed its target, which is a very rare occurrence. Most Shinigami's Shunpo speed is not enough to dodge July's "Light Slash".

Adjuchas's spinning speed is extremely fast, even faster than July's Instant Step.

The next instant, Adjuchas appeared beside July.

The moment Adjuchas appeared, July raised her right foot, quickly twisted her waist, and kicked Adjuchas hard.

At the same time, July's top suddenly burst open, and a torrent of spiritual pressure surged out from behind her.

As the surge of spiritual pressure exploded, lightning arcs also flickered across his body.

Instantaneous Roar - Lightning Blade Form!

After his skill level improved in July, he used "Instant Smash" even better.

He can now activate 'Instantaneous Rage: Lightning Blade Form' almost instantly without much preparation time.

Adjuchas's pupils contracted sharply. The speed of the Grim Reaper in front of him suddenly increased dramatically. The speed of this kick was so fast that he didn't even have time to use the Whirlwind again to dodge.

——Bang!

July kicked Adjuchas in the chest, the terrifying force causing his entire chest to cave in.

Adjuchas was blasted away by the immense force.

The scenery before his eyes rushed past rapidly, and in an instant he flew out of the camp.

boom--

After flying out of the camp, Adjuchas crashed into a rock pillar before coming to a stop.

Achookas was buried beneath the collapsed and disintegrated rock pillars.

call out--

July pursued relentlessly, and his figure appeared in front of the collapsed rock pillar.

However, a bright red light shone from beneath the collapsed rock pillar.

A powerful Cero flash pierced through the rubble and hurtled toward July.

However, July is still in 'Instantaneous Rage: Lightning Blade Form', which is even faster than Cero.

call out--

The red flash pierced through July's body, but it was just an afterimage left behind due to its excessive speed.

Adjuchas pushed aside the pile of rubble and rushed out.

Strangely, his chest, which should have been crushed by July's hammer, returned to its original state without leaving any marks.

July appeared behind Adjuchas, a flash of light, and Adjuchas's body was severed in two.

"It's useless!" Adjuchas laughed loudly as a bone blade grew from his hand. "I can split my body, so even if you cut me into ten or a hundred pieces, you still can't hurt me!"

His ability to split, combined with the 'Slash Fist and Walk Demon' technique he acquired from the memories of the Shinigami, gave him formidable combat power. Even among the 'Adjuchas' level Hollows, he would be considered one of the best.

"So that's how it is. Physical attacks can only split you, but can't destroy you..." July realized that this Hollow with the ability to split was very special. Even its mask could split. To destroy it, it would probably be necessary to completely destroy its body.

However, July was not worried about this. He had already thought of a way to deal with it and would just test the Bankai ability.

Located outside the camp, this place is unseen by others, allowing July to fully utilize her abilities.

The Wandenreich possesses spiritual technology capable of absorbing the Bankai of Shinigami, but it must first gather information about the Bankai of Shinigami before it can absorb it.

July was unsure of when the technology was completed, so he did not intend to fully reveal his Bankai ability before dealing with the Wandenreich.

After drawing his bone blade, Adjuchas quickly stepped forward and demonstrated his swordsmanship to July.

Adjuchas absorbed and integrated many of the Shinigami's "Slash Fist and Walk Demon" techniques, and his swordsmanship even surpassed that of the lieutenants of various divisions.

But to think that you can suppress July with swordsmanship is wishful thinking.

Adjuchas's bone blades swung rapidly through the air, launching a continuous barrage of attacks, but July blocked them all.

When the bone blade clashed with the Zanpakuto, it produced a continuous, clanging sound like metal striking metal.

Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang——

"Grim Reaper, your swordsmanship is superb, perhaps even the most skilled I've ever seen, but soon you'll be mine!" Adjuchas sneered. "I'm going to devour you, and I'll thoroughly digest your memories!"

Adjuchas firmly believed that his ability to split was a huge advantage, and that once he exhausted the Grim Reaper's power and spiritual pressure, he could take the opportunity to devour him.

“Thunderous carriage, the gap of the spinning wheel, this thing has light, it splits into six…” July raised her left hand: “Binding Spell Sixty-One: Six Staff Light Prison!”

Six yellow spiritual light fragments locked Adjuchas's body, temporarily immobilizing him.

In the past year, many of the skill rewards taught to disciples in July were related to the Demonic Path, and "Six Staffs Light Prison" was one of them.

A thought flickered in July's mind, prompting her to activate her shadow ability.

A dark figure wielding a knife slowly emerged from behind him.

The shadowy figure wielding the knife had long, flowing hair, and because it was a shadow, its appearance was completely obscured.

But July recognized the silhouette of the shadowy figure very well—it was the shadow of Cilantro Mole City.

Cilantro's shadow took a step forward and pressed against July's back.

Then, the shadow of Cilantro Mole City merged with July's body.

The shadow clinging to July was like a leaping black flame.

July grasped the shadow's Zanpakuto:

"Entering the Shadow, Following the Image: Myriad Image Shadow Robes!"

At this time, July was dressed in shadow robes and held a shadow blade, exuding an imposing aura.

He can now use the ability to eat four kinds of food!

After achieving Bankai in July, he will be able to control other people's shadows in space, and the shadows will be able to replicate some of their owners' abilities, including the abilities of their Zanpakuto.

However, the shadow can only unleash a portion of the power of the original body.

The power of a replica is roughly one to five tenths of the original, depending on the object being replicated.

But besides that, July has another way to use the shadow replication ability—

It is the ability to transform one's shadow into a shadow garment, which he then personally uses to replicate.

This way, the power exerted remains unchanged, and the power of the 'Four Foods' re-released in July will still not exceed 50% of its original power.

But then he can integrate the ability of 'Four Foods' into his own swordsmanship system!

“Savor it, Four Foods.” July softly uttered the liberation phrase for ‘Four Foods’.

The 'Four Foods' Shadow Blade has not changed in appearance, but it has acquired the ability to 'eat four foods'.

"What you're wearing... it doesn't matter, you can't defeat me!" Adjuchas snapped off the six spiritual light shards stuck in his body. Seeing that Shikari Shichitsuki hadn't used any powerful moves, he became even more arrogant.

Adjuchas conjured another red Cero: "Die—you pesky Death God!"

Chapter 156 The Intimidating Force of a Captain

boom! ! !

The red Cero blasted a large crater in the ground, snapped the surrounding rock pillars in half, and caused countless grains of sand and gravel to fall from the top.

call out--

The smoke and dust suddenly parted, and July's figure appeared behind Adjuchas.

A gash appeared in Adjuchas's abdomen, but no blood flowed from it.

July lightly touched the foothold formed by the condensed spiritual particles with her toes, and then disappeared again.

shhhhh--

July's figure flashed, leaving many afterimages around Adjuchas.

Shikatori Style: Four Directions Instant Strike!

July's "Four Directions Instant Strike" is no longer limited to four afterimages; the number of afterimages he can create is linked to his Instant Step speed.

After activating 'Instantaneous Rush: Raikiri Form', his Instantaneous Step speed was extremely fast, quickly leaving dozens or even hundreds of afterimages around Adjuchas.

With each afterimage that appeared, Adjuchas received another cut.

Some of the sliced ​​meat turned into small phantoms.

These split offspring, like the original body, tried to catch up with July's speed, but July was too fast, and none of them could catch up with him, so they could only let him continue to flash.

“Death, your Instant Step is too fast; I didn’t even have time to block it.” Adjuchas remained calm and mocked, “But your sword cannot kill me. Even if you can slice me into threads, you won’t reach my splitting limit! And you will be slowly worn down by me!”

As Adjuchas spoke, he sustained over a hundred more wounds.

As soon as Adjuchas finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, and his sinister smile froze on his face.

He felt as if his mind had suddenly become blocked, and his thinking speed had dropped rapidly.

July did not stop, continuing to inflict wounds on Adjuchas.

The slowness of his thinking filled Adjuchas with fear, and boundless terror gripped his mind. He didn't understand what was happening, but he knew that if he stayed here, something unbearable was about to happen.

Adjuchas wanted to escape, but found that his body was becoming much slower and his mind was disconnected from his body.

He frantically tried to move his body away from this place, but his speed was getting slower and slower.

This feeling is like trying to power a train by pedaling a bicycle.

During this period, July left him with hundreds more cuts.

"Death! What...did you...do...?" Adjuchas's pupils lost focus, and he felt as if his consciousness had been ripped from his body, and his body became uncontrollable.

In Adjuchas's perception, everything around him was distorted, as if an insurmountable barrier isolated him from the outside world.

Adjuchas lost his ability to stay airborne and plummeted to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Adjuchas could no longer maintain his human form and turned into an irregular mass of white flesh.

"Thoughts about the four kinds of food... can affect the senses and mental activity," July said in a low voice.

Cilantro Mochi's "Four Foods" ability is very powerful, as it can affect the senses, but the conditions for activating it are too demanding.

The effects of the 'four foods' on the senses are progressive and have a limited triggering time, resulting in a very slow impact on the senses.

The longer the time, the greater the impact, and the more times the attack hits, the deeper the impact on the senses.

In July, it can only exert 50% of the power of 'Four Foods', so it needs to be stacked even more times.

Under normal circumstances, a spirit being that could withstand so many blows from July would have already died long ago, and there would be no need to wait for the 'Four Foods' ability to activate.

However, this Adjuchas has a strong ability to split, allowing it to withstand nearly a thousand slashes from July without dying, which gave July the opportunity to unleash 'Thoughts of Four Foods'.

This is the most powerful aspect of July's Bankai. Many abilities have a counter-relationship, and July can replicate other people's abilities to prevent being countered by enemies. She can even use other people's abilities to counter enemies in reverse.

Looking at the white mass of flesh on the ground, July had a thought. He had come to Hueco Mundo this time with the intention of capturing a few Hollows to take back as research material, and this Adjuchas with the ability to split was a very suitable research subject.

July flashed and grabbed all the nearby Adjuchas's split offspring.

After Adjuchas's main body was deprived of its thoughts, its scattered offspring also turned into immobile white clumps of flesh, only much smaller in size and shape.

In July, when the split offspring were placed on the main body, they were found to fuse together on their own. This was an instinctive neural reaction of Adjuchas's body, and it would do so even without mental control.
