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

Everything he did afterward was exposed to the eyes of this Grim Reaper.

July stood on the treetop, looking strange.

He had no idea he would run into Aizen here tonight.

He appeared here actually to search for traces of the Kasumi family.

He set up a "surveillance point" at his home on Xiada Road, and during this time he overheard some secrets through the "surveillance point".

The Kasumi family seems to be researching and manufacturing a secret weapon.

The development of this weapon seems to require the participation of many souls with spiritual aptitude.

After learning about this in July, she quickly deduced from her memories of her previous life that the Kasumi family was likely researching the "Baku Yao Knife"!

Like Zanpakuto, each Baku-yōtō possesses extraordinary abilities, but its philosophy is completely different from that of Zanpakuto.

While the Tapir Blade provides its wielder with immense power, it also continuously absorbs the wielder's spiritual energy and even life force.

The Tapir Blade itself possesses a life of its own; the wielder is merely nourishment for the Tapir Blade. The more times the wielder is changed, the stronger the Tapir Blade becomes.

Creating such an evil sword that requires the life force of others to grow is an extremely heinous act. If it were exposed, the Kasumi family would definitely be punished by the Central 46th Bureau.

Therefore, an investigation into the matter was launched immediately in July.

However, he only heard snippets of information, and there were no "monitoring points" set up in this area.

Moreover, the members of the Kasumi family always wear invisibility cloaks when they go out, making them impossible to track.

Therefore, in July, the place to manufacture the Tapir Blade has not yet been found.

However, he did encounter an unexpected person here.

Aizen Sousuke

[Talent: SS]

[Spiritual Pressure: lv40]

[Reputation Level: Unknown]

[Status: Panicked]

At such a young age, his spiritual pressure level is already comparable to that of his disciples.

As expected of Aizen Sousuke.

Chapter 68 Kidnapping Aizen

Aizen Sousuke was considering whether or not to take out the small knife he had just put into the cloth bag.

But he quickly rejected this idea.

It is unwise to show hostility before knowing the other party's strength.

However, there is one thing that Aizen Sousuke is certain of.

This Grim Reaper is stronger than him.

He hadn't sensed the other person's presence before they appeared in front of him.

"Lord Shinigami, the moonlight is truly beautiful tonight." Aizen Sousuke smiled warmly. "Such a beautiful view deserves to be appreciated from a high vantage point!"

This location is situated on relatively high ground; once you descend this slope, you can leave the Xudiao area.

"It is indeed beautiful, but..." July looked up at the full moon, a smile playing on her lips, and asked, "Why cut your hair to appreciate the moonlight?"

"This is...this is a custom and legend from my hometown. Hair is like the grass of the human body, symbolizing life and vitality, and it cannot be cut casually. In my hometown, there is a saying that moonlight is the source of life, so only on an auspicious time like this when the moonlight is abundant can one cut their hair," Aizen Sosuke rambled on.

"Oh? What an interesting legend! I really want to visit your hometown." July smiled and continued, "Then why do you wear glasses? You were so quick when you got your hair cut, your eyesight didn't seem to be a problem."

A cold sweat appeared on the back of Aizen Sousuke's neck.

Death had indeed been observing him in the shadows for a long time!

That's absolutely terrifying!

Aizen Sousuke blurted out, "I can see things at close to medium distances clearly, but I can't see things that are farther away. The mountain path is rugged, and I'm afraid I'll encounter danger when I go down the mountain."

He regretted it as soon as he said it.

According to his understanding, this situation where one can see things up close but not those far away is indeed a real phenomenon.

But his glasses are non-prescription, so they don't have that effect at all.

If Death insists on checking his glasses, he'll be exposed!

Fortunately, Death didn't seem inclined to check his glasses.

"It's getting light. The mountains and forests are still quite dangerous during the day. Hurry back, young man. Where do you live? Let me take you home."

How could July possibly let go of such a promising talent as Aizen? She took the opportunity to inquire about Aizen's whereabouts.

“I live in the shantytown street of Xudiao District.”

Aizen Sousuke believed that the Shinigami had likely followed him from his home, so he did not lie about it.

July knew that Aizen was definitely lying. Judging from his actions, he should have been trying to leave the Dog District.

However, July didn't expose Aizen's words: "Then let's go, you lead the way, I'm not very familiar with this place, I almost got lost just now."

He asked Aizen to lead the way, partly because he didn't know the route through the mountains.

He wanted to set up some "monitoring points" here as well.

Left with no other choice, Aizen Sousuke had to lead the Shinigami back.

"Young man, what's your name?"

"Aizen Sousuke".

“A nice name. My name is Shichiru Shichi.”

Aizen Sousuke remembered the name.

"Lord Shikatori, you flatter me. It's just a very ordinary name."

"Aizen-kun, you seem a little nervous?"

"Perhaps he was too happy to see the real Grim Reaper. It's not often that you can see a strong person like him."

"Oh? You can still sense that I'm very strong. It seems Aizen-kun has quite a talent!"

Aizen Sousuke recalled what Kato had said—that he had been appreciated by a great man, which was why the "divine sword" had been bestowed upon him.

Aizen Sousuke was terrified that the Shinigami beside him would immediately pull out a "divine sword".

"Lord Shikatori is too kind. I just noticed that you are wearing a haori, which is quite different from the equipment of ordinary Shinigami," Aizen Sousuke said calmly.

"So that's how it is. This haori is the attire for a dojo instructor. See it..." July turned to the side, showing Aizen the words printed on the back.

On the back of the haori, the two characters “Shika-tori” are written in a bold, cursive script.

"Shikari Dojo?" Aizen Sousuke said he had never heard of it.

Shikatori Dojo is somewhat famous among the Shinigami, but his knowledge of Shinigami-related matters is actually quite limited.

July laughed and said, "Yes, the Shikatri Dojo teaches swordsmanship, but it's not impossible to learn other things. I can teach you Shunpo, Kido, or even Kaido."

"Would Aizen-kun be interested in training at the Shikari Dojo?"

"It would be a shame for someone as outstanding as Aizen to waste his time in this place."

Aizen Sousuke sensed the Shinigami's inexplicable enthusiasm and became increasingly wary.

Moreover, he is not someone who easily trusts others.

Although he felt resentful, he showed a happy expression on his face: "To receive Lord Shikagiri's attention is truly an honor for me."

Then he said with regret, "But I am really dull-witted and I am afraid that I will tarnish the reputation of the temple."

"Aizen-kun, you're not exactly dull-witted, you know. I could sense your spiritual pressure." July smiled slightly and continued to tease Aizen.

He sensed that Aizen seemed somewhat resistant to him.

I have a feeling that if I leave Aizen here, I won't be able to find him next time I come back!

If we miss out on a player as talented as Aizen this time, we don't know how much he will have grown by the time we see him again.

Therefore, we must act swiftly and decisively, and take Aizen to the dojo first!

Aizen Sousuke was deeply shocked when he heard what Nanatsu said.

The young man ultimately couldn't maintain his composure, and his expression changed slightly.

He believed he had done a good job of concealing his spiritual pressure, having tested it multiple times in front of formal Shinigami without anyone being able to detect it.

However, now he has been discovered by the Grim Reaper in front of him!

It seems that the other party's level has far exceeded his imagination; the two are no longer on the same level!

If this Grim Reaper is the one who bestowed the "Divine Sword" upon Kato, then he too cannot escape the fate of feeding the "Divine Sword"!

A strong sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

"Are you that nervous? Your back is practically soaked with sweat," July chuckled.

Aizen Sousuke was silent for a moment, then said directly, "Lord Shikari, did you come to see me?"

There's no way to escape directly, so it's better to comply with them first and then find an opportunity to escape.

"Yes, the moment I saw you, I knew you were a perfect candidate for sword training. If you hadn't come back to the dojo with me, I probably wouldn't have been able to sleep tonight. I'm really excited to have you, Aizen-kun!" July said with a smile, no longer hiding her true intentions.

He wasn't originally looking for Aizen, but he is now.

"..."

Aizen Sousuke took a deep breath. He couldn't verify the truthfulness of the other person's words, but since they had gone this far, he had no choice but to go with them.

"Lord Shikatori, it is my honor to receive your guidance."

"Call me teacher."

"teacher."

Aizen Sousuke readily accepted the good advice.
