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

But in reality, he saw many guards on the road and even discovered quite a few hidden agents.

However, no one discovered their whereabouts.

"The shadows only work effectively when we're operating under the cover of night. During the day, they're quite noticeable," July said modestly.

"That's impressive. No wonder you're so good at gathering information." Kyoraku Shunsui had been curious about how July managed to obtain so much intelligence, but now he finally understood how she did it.

"That's the building. The Xia Dalu family's records are stored on the second and third floors of this building," July said, pointing to a building on the right. "However, there's a demonic restriction placed on the place where the records are stored. If we want to get the records, we have to break the demonic restriction first, otherwise we'll definitely be discovered."

"That's troublesome. Honestly, I actually agreed to something like this. I'll probably be locked up by that old man for a while when I get back." Kyoraku Shunsui could already imagine the scene he was about to face, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Shikatri-kun, don't forget to buy me a drink after this is over!"

“That’s natural.” July observed the position of the moving guards and planned the next route in her mind.

After planning the route in July, he took Kyoraku Shunsui to the archives room.

The archives room on the second floor has more than a dozen rows of shelves for storing archives and books, and finding the archive you want is not an easy task.

Fortunately, I had scouted the location in July and knew where the files were stored.

July arrived at a row of scroll shelves on the inner side: "This is the row, but we need to break the ghost path restriction before we can go in."

After a moment, neither of the two people standing in front of the archives moved, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Shikatori-kun, you don't mean you want me to lift the Kido seal, do you?" Kyoraku Shunsui leaned back slightly. "I'm not good at these things..."

He had just observed that the ghostly restrictions here were extremely sophisticated, and he wasn't confident he could remove them without triggering them.

"...You're the captain, how come you can't even lift a ghostly restriction?!" July's face darkened. His ghostly cultivation level was only average, and he couldn't understand the ghostly restrictions here at all.

“I’m the captain of the 8th Division, not some great demon lord.” Kyoraku Shunsui rolled his eyes. “The demonic restrictions here are very complex, and not many captains can remove them without triggering an alarm.”

"This ghostly restriction mainly serves as a warning; we have no choice but to destroy it."

"Then there's nothing we can do..." July raised her Zanpakuto, lunged forward, and thrust forward in one fluid motion.

Shikatori Style: Instant Strike!

The "Instant Strike" technique at the Master level has been perfected, and the charging time has been shortened to the extreme, almost completing the charging in the blink of an eye.

—Thump! ! !

A dull thud echoed in the archives room.

The semi-transparent barrier that suddenly appeared in front of the file rack was instantly pierced with a hole, and the entire barrier quickly collapsed.

The next moment, the ghostly restriction emitted a piercing, unsettling screech.

buzzing-

"That's quite a commotion!" Kyoraku Shunsui drew his Zanpakuto. "They should be here soon."

In July, without saying much, he rushed to the archives shelf and began to look through the archives.

Just a few seconds later, the guards on the first floor of the records room came up.

They were all taken aback when they saw Kyoraku Shunsui's conspicuous pink haori jacket.

Of all the Gotei 13 squads, only one person was dressed like this!

The guards recognized Kyoraku Shunsui's identity even before they could see his face clearly under the straw hat.

They all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, yet no one dared to step forward.

With so few people, going up there would be suicide. As long as Kyoraku Shunsui doesn't seem to want to leave, we won't rush forward. We'll wait for our companions to come and help.

They blocked the entrance like that.

There were too many files on the file shelf. Even though July knew the approximate location of the file she was looking for, it took her several tens of seconds to find it.

Upon opening the archives in July, one would find them densely covered with records:

December 6 to March 8 —

Twenty blade blanks were placed in the scabbard area and forged into a Moyao Blade. Its ability is to allow the host's body to grow blades, which can then be used to launch blade attacks.

May 30 to September 6 —

Eleven blade blanks were placed in the withered flower area and forged into one Moyao Blade, which has the ability to control the ground and deform it.

October 12th to December 30th —

Six blade blanks were placed in the Grass Deer District, and one of them was forged into a Tapir Blade, which has the ability to control flames.

Tests have shown that using a sword blank forged with a soul possessing spiritual talent greatly increases the success rate of forging the Mo Yao Sword.

...

The densely packed records were shocking, and the forging success rate of the Tapir Blade was also alarmingly low.

In the beginning, the blade blanks were forged from dozens or even hundreds of ordinary souls.

Later, they began using souls with spiritual talent to forge sword blanks, which greatly improved the success rate.

The next step is to use souls with even better talent to forge the blade blank.

"Captain Kyoraku, I've found it!" July tossed the scroll to Kyoraku Shunsui.

He must review the documents; otherwise, they are invalid.

Kyoraku Shunsui took the document and, after flipping through it a few times, his expression changed drastically.

Just as Shikagiri Nanatsuki said, the Baku-yō-tō was indeed forged by the Kasumi Ōji family!

"This is truly shocking. We must hand this file over to Old Man Shan." Kyoraku Shunsui tucked the file into his sleeve, glanced at the growing number of guards, and sighed, "But it's not a good time to leave now."

"Then let's not leave, let someone else lead us!" July raised her hand and began to chant.

"...Hado #88: Flying Dragon Strike the Thief - Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon!!!"

--boom!!!

A powerful blue beam of light instantly pierced through the floors and rooftops, then tore the silent night sky in two.

Chapter 77 Multiple Dreams

The tranquility of the night was shattered by a blue beam of light that pierced the sky.

The patrol team's "death squad" quickly noticed the commotion and immediately reported the emergency, converging on the scene.

This is also the purpose of July.

He just wanted to make a big fuss, otherwise the case file might be suppressed by the 46th Chamber.

The case files contain too many cases, and the souls used to forge the sword are mostly from Rukongai.

The Kasumi family is also a member of the 46 Chambers. If this matter is exposed, it may cause dissatisfaction among the Shinigami born in Rukongai towards the 46 Chambers.

For the sake of the greater good, Room 46 might sacrifice themselves to protect the Kasumi family.

However, if this matter is blown out of proportion from the beginning, it will be difficult for the 46th Chamber to cover it up, and they will most likely choose to abandon the Kasumi Oji family.

In the archives room—

The release of the demonic path in July was like a clarion call for the guards to attack.

After the Ghost Path destroyed the floors of the Scroll Room, the guards could no longer tolerate it and immediately swarmed forward, attacking July.

The guards initially intended to pretend they hadn't seen Kyoraku Shunsui and try to walk around him, but he stopped them.

"Hey, am I that unimportant?" Kyoraku Shunsui stopped the six people, fighting against them all alone, but still had time to taunt his opponents.

Seeing that July had made a big commotion, he decided to stall for time and wait for the death of the patrol guards to arrive.

The guards, facing a captain-level expert, had little will to fight; they were only forced to act because of their status.

The two sides fought fiercely, with the sounds of swords clashing echoing continuously, but in reality, neither side had even released their Zanpakuto.

July only has one opponent, but he is the captain of the guard and is quite powerful.

Xia Da Land Rover

[Talent: B+]

[Spiritual Pressure: lv79]

[Reputation Level: Hostile]

This guard captain's spiritual pressure is already very close to that of a vice-captain!

Moreover, he immediately unleashed his Zanpakuto, greatly increasing the pressure on July.

Kasumi Land Rover brandished her Zanpakuto: "Sleep, Baku!"

The black mist emanating from the blade quickly filled the archive room.

In July, immediately hold your breath to avoid inhaling the black fog.

Even so, the black mist still affected him through his skin.

The next moment, he felt dizzy, as if his consciousness had been pulled away.

When he came to his senses, he found himself no longer in the archives room.

Based on the release phrase and name of the other party's Zanpakuto, July deduced: "Is this a dream?"

He pinched the skin on his arm and found that he still had his sense of touch and pain, and that he was still fully conscious.

“A layer of dream, a lucid dream.” Xia Da Lu Hu slowly emerged from the black mist. “You will be trapped in the dream I have created, until you fall into eternal slumber.”

If you die in a dream, your consciousness will collapse, and you will become demented upon returning to reality.

July raised her index finger from the hand gripping the hilt of the sword: "Hado No. 4: White Lightning."

Nourishes—

A bolt of lightning flashed, instantly piercing through the body of the Xia Da Range Rover.

However, no blood flowed from the wound, and through the wound, one could see that his body was actually composed of black mist.

July frowned and tried to check Xia Da's Land Rover panel again, only to find that the other party was not a viewable object.

This is just an illusion, not the actual Xia Da Land Rover.

“Not the type I’m good at dealing with…” July thought to herself.

He focused his attention on sensing the spiritual pressure around him, but the surrounding black mist greatly affected his perception of spiritual pressure, making it impossible to sense the situation inside through the black mist.
