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

In July, he used his shadow to bind Adjuchas, so that if Adjuchas woke up, he would be able to detect him immediately.

After dealing with Adjuchas, July checked the situation on another battlefield through the shadow space.

The Shadow Space was filled with July's 'Shadow Vision', and another battlefield was also in the Shadow Space. He could observe the situation in other places at any time through these 'Shadow Vision', which was why he felt at ease letting his disciples follow Asido.

The battle on Asido's side is not over yet; there are still more than thirty 'Kirlian' left.

July blended into the shadows and swiftly headed to another battlefield.

These Gillian, summoned by the Adjuchas-class Hollows, are the kind of Gillian that cannot evolve, have little independent consciousness, low intelligence, little logical thinking ability, and tend to act on instinct.

Without the command of an Adjuchas-class Hollow, these Gillian, though numerous, posed little threat to Asido and his companions.

The six students of the Spirit Arts Academy and Saito Akane have all mastered Shikai. They use their respective abilities to cooperate and interfere with the 'Girlian'.

These low-intelligence Kyrians don't consider the safety of their companions when using Cero on them, so they use their small size and agility to lure the Cero to other Kyrians.

Hirako Shinji and others used this method to incite these 'Kirlian' to kill each other.

Several 'Kirlian' were killed by other 'Kirlian's' Cero.

Asido's subordinates used a similar method to deal with 'Kirlian', while some Shinigami who had not yet mastered Shikai were responsible for dealing with ordinary Hollows.

Asido, on the other hand, fights alone, always keeping an eye on the battlefield, and will lend a helping hand if anyone is in danger.

At that moment, the Shinigami sensed a violent fluctuation of spiritual pressure coming from the air and all looked up.

A violent wave of heat swept through the Great Void Forest.

The swirling sand and gravel quickly melted and solidified together.

The Grim Reapers on the ground stared in horror at the heatwave storm in the sky. They couldn't see what was inside, but they felt that the spiritual pressure fluctuations there were extremely terrifying.

A giant in flames, engulfed in golden fire, took shape amidst the heatwave and storm.

This fire-armored giant was exceptionally large, standing over a hundred meters tall!

The golden-armored giant slammed into the ground, crushing two 'Giriyans' with a single stomp, kicking up a cloud of dust.

boom--

The Grim Reapers on the ground felt a powerful tremor like an earthquake, and they all lost their balance and fell to the ground.

A giant golden hand pierced through the dust and mist, pressing down on the head of a 'Kirlian'.

sizzle-

The scorching heat caused 'Kirlian's' head to carbonize rapidly, causing it to scream in agony.

Then, the giant golden flame hand clenched suddenly, and the scream abruptly stopped.

Kylian's head, along with its mask, shattered into pieces, and the spilled blood was instantly evaporated by the high temperature.

The heatwave dispersed the sand and dust, revealing the golden-flame-armored giant in its entirety. Its terrifying power made all the Grim Reapers hold their breath.

Dust-bound Thunderfire Armor!

Happy New Year, and may the Year of the Snake bring you good fortune!

Wishing all my dear readers good health, abundant blessings, continuous good fortune, a bright future, continuous advancement, all your wishes fulfilled, and everything going smoothly!

Chapter 157 Instant Kill (Happy New Year!)

The Grim Reapers were stunned by the terrifying power of the Golden Flame Giant.

"What is this?!" Asido exclaimed in surprise.

"This is the sword technique that the teacher unleashed!" said Kana Mochi.

Although this golden flame giant was completely different from the one she had seen before, much larger in size and much more terrifying in power, she could sense that it was her teacher's spiritual pressure.

"You call this sword technique?!" Ashido used his spiritual sense to perceive it and found that it was indeed Shikatri Nanatsuki's spiritual pressure fluctuation.

Asido looked down at his Zanpakuto and suddenly felt a little insecure, wondering if he hadn't mastered swordsmanship.

In July, at the center of the Golden Flame Giant's breastplate, he manipulated the Golden Flame Giant's movements.

After reaching the captain level, he was able to combine three sword techniques.

The "Dust-Bound Lightning Flame Armor" being used now is a fusion technique of "Lightning Blade", "Dust Blade" and "Red Tide".

It's like giving the Flame Armor Giant a "Wildfire" status, which can be maintained for a longer time in this giant form.

The remaining 'Kirlian' instinctively retreated, trying to escape.

The golden flame giant raised its golden flame sword and slammed it down on the 'Kirlian's' attempts to escape.

boom--

The six 'Kirlian' heads were smashed to pieces.

The terrifying heatwave blew away the ordinary Hollows near 'Kirlian'. These ordinary Hollows of normal size could not even withstand the aftershocks and were carbonized in the air, turning into spiritual particles that dissipated in the air.

The golden flame giant drew its golden flame longsword, leaving some lava on the ground. The terrifyingly high temperature melted the rocks into magma.

The golden flame giant swept his blade across, tearing apart a patch of 'Kirlian' and even vaporizing corpses into spirit particles by the intense heat.

Wherever the blade passed, not a single 'Kyrian' survived.

The scene of the Golden Flame Giant slaughtering the 'Kyrian' left an indelible impression on the hearts of the Grim Reapers.

"That giant wiped out a whole group of 'Giriyans' with a single slash!" Saito Akane smacked her lips, feeling her mouth unusually dry.

The presence of the Golden Flame Giant caused the temperature in this area to rise significantly, making even the Grim Reapers feel parched.

"The teacher's strength is truly unfathomable," Kensei Muguruma remarked.

“This golden flame giant seems to be much more powerful than the flame-armored giant we saw in ‘Calling Valley’,” said Kotsuba Jin’emon.

"What we saw at 'Calling Valley' was the 'Dust-Binding Flame Armor,' a combination of 'Dust Blade' and 'Red Tide.' What you're using now, Master, should be an even more powerful sword technique, and it should also be related to 'Dust Blade.'" Hirako Shinji stroked his chin.

In July, he also taught Hirako Shinji the "Dust Blade" and "Red Tide," so he had some knowledge of these techniques.

"That's amazing! We still need to keep working hard; there's so much more we need to learn!" said Cilantro Mochi.

Kuchiki Sojun's eyes gleamed with wonder, and he couldn't help but think of the child who was still in swaddling clothes.

"When Byakuya grows up a bit, I'll beg Shikatori-sensei to take Byakuya as his apprentice..." Kuchiki Sōjun thought to himself.

Like Kotsubaki Jin'emon, Kuchiki Sojun was already married before entering the Spirit Arts Academy.

While everyone was talking, July had already cleaned up the remaining 'Kirlian'.

As soon as July had a thought, the golden flame giant gradually transformed into spiritual particles and dissipated in the air.

At the same time, the shadow space also disappeared quickly, and Shadow Princess returned to July's hands.

call out--

July instantly appeared before everyone.

"Master, that move was so cool!" Kensei Rokusha asked eagerly, "What kind of sword technique was that?"

"This is the 'Dust-Bound Lightning Flame Armor,' which requires combining the 'Lightning Slash,' 'Dust Blade,' and 'Crimson Tide' to be used," July patiently explained.

"It's a combination of three sword techniques!" Hirako Shinji said, distressed. "Just combining 'Dust Blade' and 'Crimson Tide' is difficult enough; I can't do it yet."

Asido led the Death Gods of the Expeditionary Force over and said gratefully, "This time, thanks to Teacher Shikatori's help, the Expeditionary Force would have been in danger."

It's easy to see that without reinforcements from Soul Society, they simply couldn't handle so many Hollows.

Thinking of this, Ashido couldn't help but feel very fortunate. If it weren't for Shichiru's help, he wouldn't have been able to save so many of his companions.

Asido is quite powerful, but he doesn't have the ability to quickly defeat the Hollows.

"Fortunately, the graduation exam for the Spirit Arts Academy was led by Professor Shikatori, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!" Saito Akane also felt very fortunate.

Shikagoshi July has unknowingly changed many things.

Several years ago, the Kasumioji family targeted Shikatori Nanatsuki in Karakura Town, which implicated Yoruichi Shihōin.

The Kasumi family shifted the blame onto the Quincy, causing the Covert Mobile Force to locate the Quincy's base in the real world ahead of schedule, thus bringing the Quincy war forward considerably.

The remaining Quincy in the present world have now completely gone into hiding and no longer actively clashed with the Shinigami. The present world has become much calmer in the last two years.

It was for this reason that Ayane Kotetsu decided to arrange the early graduation assessment for Kuchiki Sojun and others in Hueco Mundo.

Otherwise, their early graduation assessment will most likely still take place in the real world.

"It's good that everyone is alright." July said with a smile, "The Hollow Legion has been dealt with. Let's go back to the camp and detoxify those Death Gods who have been poisoned by the Hollow Poison."

“Alright, then I’ll leave it to you, Shikato-sensei!” Asido said sincerely.

Just now, Shikagori and Asido intentionally lured the Hollows away, preventing the battlefield from affecting the camp, and those Shinigami who were unable to move were not harmed.

The Grim Reapers who remained at the camp breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing them return. They could sense the terrifying spiritual pressure fluctuations in the distance, but they had no idea what had happened.

"Captain Asido, have you dealt with the Hollow Legion?" one of the Grim Reapers who stayed behind asked. Even though he looked terrible, pale, with black lips, and staggering as he walked, he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

“It’s resolved!” Ashido nodded and said, “Now, Professor Shikato will deal with the poison in your bodies. Divide into groups, and those who are most severely poisoned will go first.”

The Grim Reapers in the camp wept with joy, and then burst into loud cheers.

Subsequently, a tent was set aside in the camp so that Lu Quqi could treat the poison in July.

When the Adjuchas poisoned the creature, it wanted to maximize the area affected, so it didn't adjust the toxicity of the poison too much. If the poisoned Grim Reaper died too quickly, it would actually hinder the spread of the poison.

He simply wanted to use the illusory poison to render the Grim Reapers incapable of fighting, making it less likely to be detected in the early stages of the poisoning and easier to spread.

Given the level of recovery in July, treating this degree of deficiency and poisoning is a piece of cake.

Chapter 158 Return to Soul Society (Happy New Year!)

A day later, in July, the poison in the bodies of the expeditionary force's Grim Reapers was completely removed.

In front of the camp, Ashido and the Shinigami of the expeditionary force stood before the seven members of the Spirit Arts Academy, with Saito Akane standing beside July. They had finished their respective missions and were now preparing to return to Soul Society.

Ashido handed some things to July: "Shikato-sensei, these are some spoils we collected before, all left behind by 'Adjuchas'-class Hollows."

In July, he expressed a desire to bring back some souvenirs from the Great Forest of the Void, and Asido immediately prepared them for him.

After hunting down powerful Void creatures, the expeditionary force would also leave behind some Void items as spoils of war.

The things Asido gave to July were things left behind by the 'Adjuchas'-class Hollows.

I took a look in July and there were a lot of things.

It has horns that resemble ram horns, as well as hollow bone masks, bones, and animal-shaped fur, etc.

"Thank you, these are all very collectible items." July accepted Asido's gifts.

He didn't want these for collection purposes, but rather to study Hollows. 'Adjuchas' level Hollows are very rare in both the Soul Society and the human world; they can be considered a specialty of the Hollow Forest.

"Be careful on your way back, Shikatoshi-sensei. I will definitely come to thank you when I get back." Ashido was very grateful. If it weren't for Shikatoshi-seven's help, the expeditionary force's fate would have been uncertain.

"Alright, we'll be going now. Captain Asido, please be careful in the Great Void Forest as well," July nodded and said.

The Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force will remain here. This incident has also been reported to the Soul Society, which takes it very seriously and has decided to send some researchers to assist the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force in updating the spiritual energy protective barrier so that the camp can be defended against Hollow invasions around the clock.

Just as July was about to step into the interdimensional gate, she saw Asido raise his hand. Then, the Grim Reapers of the Expeditionary Force bowed down to pay their respects to Shikagiri July.

"Thank you for your help, Shikatori-sensei!"

The voices of the Grim Reapers echoed like waves throughout the Great Hollow Forest.

July smiled and waved before stepping through the interdimensional portal.

...

The group returned to Soul Society without encountering any spiritual energy fluctuations and made it back safely.

"Phew—the brothel isn't that dangerous after all."

After landing safely, Kensei Rokusha and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Akane Saito explained, "Turbulent spiritual particles occur frequently in the black cavity, but they are relatively rare to encounter with the intensity we have experienced before."

"It's understandable that some oversights might occur when you first go to the Black Hole and encounter such turbulent spiritual energy. You'll get used to it after a few more visits."

"Once you get used to the environment there, you'll be able to discern the intensity of the spiritual particle turbulence and make the right judgment in time."

Akane Saito did not give them a bad review because they were affected by the spiritual turbulence.
