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

The Kasumi clan is not some easily manipulated cat or dog; they are powerful upper-class nobles. For Shikamori Nanatsuki to try to fight the Kasumi clan alone is like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Although Shikatori Nanatsuki had the support of the first captain, Shikatori Hakunsai, he was well aware of Hakunsai's current condition—he was a dying man and had no power to fight against the Kasumioji family.

He didn't choose to venture into the forging base and the archives alone; he's courageous and resourceful, a promising talent!

He had read the report on the Karakura Town incident a while ago and knew that Shikatori Nanatsuki's strength was quite good among the young people.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's eyes softened considerably. The Gotei 13 was in dire need of talent, and young people like Shikatori Nanatsuki were very likely to grow into reliable captains in the future.

"Very good! Lu Quqiyue, your spirit of protecting your students is commendable; it is a teacher's duty!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni paused for a moment, then continued, "The trial of the Azajo family will be held tomorrow. Kyoraku Shunsui and Shikatori Nanatsuki will accompany me to the trial tomorrow!"

"Meeting adjourned. Kyoraku Shunsui and Shikatori Nanatsuki, please stay behind!"

The captain and vice-captains left one after another.

As Kenpachi Kuruyashiki passed by Shichitsuki, he put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Well done! I like guys like you who aren't afraid of trouble! Come visit the Eleventh Division sometime! Hahaha!"

"I'll definitely do it next time." July smiled awkwardly.

Please don't say things like that in front of Captain-Commander Yamamoto!

It makes him seem like someone who likes to stir up trouble!

As Kiryu passed by Nanatsuki, he looked him over with interest: "Shikatori-kun, I've heard you're a very good cook?"

To his surprise, his culinary skills had already reached Hikifune Kiryu.

Before he could answer, Kiryu continued, "It was Shunsui who said that your cooking is just as good as mine, which makes me very curious."

July humbly said, "The band leader is too kind. He may be eating 'hot pot' for the first time, which is why he found it so amazing."

"I heard about how to make hot pot from Shunsui, and I even tried to recreate it. What a brilliant idea!" Hikifune Kiryu patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly. "Shunsui is quite picky, but Shikato-kun, you don't need to be modest. Your cooking skills must be amazing. I also love cooking. Come to the 12th Division sometime and we can exchange ideas!"

"Okay, I'm also looking forward to Captain Hikifune's cooking."

He was really looking forward to July. If he were lucky enough to eat a dish made with "temporary souls" in the future, his spiritual pressure would increase dramatically.

This is a rare way to increase spiritual pressure in the world of Bleach without any side effects.

Unfortunately, Kiryu Hikifune is still a stunningly beautiful woman with a perfect figure, so she probably hasn't developed her "temporary soul" yet, or maybe she has but hasn't applied it to cooking yet.

Unohana stayed until the very end, smiling as she said, "Shikatori-kun is really popular~"

The eagerness in Unohana's eyes made July feel as if she were examining a delicious dish.

She continued, "You've progressed very quickly in Kido. I remember you weren't good at Kido before, but now you can use the 88th Kido."

"I hope your swordsmanship will also improve in this way."

Delicious food should be savored slowly, and Unohana hopes that Shikatori Nanatsuki's sword will allow her to enjoy it a little longer.

July scratched his head. Wasn't he learning the Way of Reincarnation from Unohana? Why was he being tested on his swordsmanship now?

After the others left, only Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Kyoraku Shunsui, and Shikatori Shichigetsu remained in the council chamber.

"You two, come with me!" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was the first to leave the council chamber.

"Oh no, oh no, I'm going to get a beating." Kyoraku Shunsui's face fell; he had anticipated what was about to happen.

Old Man Shan was clearly taking them to the swordsmanship room to practice!

I never expected that I still couldn't escape this calamity!

When Kyoraku Shunsui saw that Shikatori Nanatsuki still didn't understand the seriousness of the problem, he whispered a reminder: "Shikatori-kun, the old man's swordsmanship is incredibly fierce and powerful. Even a wooden sword would be in pain for days after taking a few hits!"

A hint of excitement flashed in July's eyes: "Really? That's something to look forward to!"

"?" Kyoraku Shunsui's expression was strange, feeling that he was not the same kind of person as someone who would go for a beating.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni led the two to the swordsmanship room of the First Division.

He took off his captain's haori, casually picked up a wooden sword from the sword rack, and said to Shikatri Nanatsuki:

"Come up here, let me see if the Shikatori school has declined."

July nodded slowly and took a wooden knife from the knife rack.

The wooden swords in this swordsmanship room are the same shape as ordinary Zanpakuto, and can be inserted into Nanatsu's scabbard without hindering the use of some drawing techniques.

Seeing that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had no intention of launching an attack, July chose to strike first.

Shikatori Ryu: Senmai Disassembly!

Swah——

dong dong dong-

In the swordplay room, a rapid and continuous series of tapping sounds suddenly rang out.

In July, he drew his sword and unleashed over a hundred strikes in an instant!

Even when faced with such a powerful sword strike, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni remained as unmoved as Mount Tai.

With a wave of his hand, he blocked hundreds of attacks.

July's figure suddenly disappeared, and then four afterimages appeared around Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Shikatori Style: Four Directions Instant Strike!

The four attacks from different directions are all real!

In an instant, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni spun around rapidly, completing a full rotation at an extremely fast speed.

—Thump!

The four afterimages vanished instantly, and July flew backward, crushing the knife rack upon impact.

Looking at Shikamori Nanatsuki lying on the ground, Kyoraku Shunsui couldn't help but say, "Should I go and call Captain Unohana back?"

Shikatori Nanatsuki kicked away the wreckage of the sword rack that was pressing down on him, moved his shoulder, and casually put his dislocated shoulder back into place.

Shikatori Nanatsuki picked up the wooden sword again and grinned:

"No need, I can treat minor injuries."

Chapter 82 The Sword Technique That Must Be Sealed

I glanced at the panel when I had a spare moment in July.

【Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni】

[Talent: SS]

[Spiritual Pressure: lv100]

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's spiritual pressure level reached an astonishing 100!

His strength has absolutely reached the limit of the Grim Reaper!

Although we can't see the specific stats, we can sense that he is strong in all aspects, not just in terms of spiritual pressure.

Even if I suppress my spiritual pressure to a level similar to that of July, it is still difficult to deal with.

"You reacted quickly. I originally intended to cut your waist," Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said slowly.

July's eye twitched. This old man was just like Sister Hua, always trying to cut people in the waist.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and adjusted his posture, blocking the blow with his arm. Otherwise, if that knife had landed on his waist, he probably would have lost his fighting ability immediately!

Ordinary swordsmanship is no longer enough to impress this old man; I need to bring out something real.

He lunged forward, raised his sword, and pressed down on the back of the blade with his left hand, while arcs of lightning swirled around the blade and his body.

The next moment, he took a sudden step forward and thrust out the wooden sword in his hand.

Instant Strike - Lightning Blade!

“Not bad!” A glint flashed in Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni’s eyes. He also took half a step forward, held his sword upright in front of him, and used his other hand to hold the blade.

thump—

The blade struck the knife in July, and the powerful impact and reaction force shattered the wooden knife in my hand.

The cracks spread from the blade's edge to the rest of the blade, like a spider web.

A crack also appeared at the point where the wooden sword in Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's hand was holding the blade.

Even so, neither of their wooden swords disintegrated or broke!

Both of them used their powerful spiritual pressure control to forcibly piece the wooden swords back together, even though they should have shattered.

The powerful impact ripped the floorboards behind Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni off the ground, but his body remained motionless.

"Hey, don't forget there are other people here!" Kyoraku Shunsui quickly jumped away, dodging the attack from the floor.

"That's a very good move," Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni praised. "But I've never seen it in the Shikatori-ryu school before. Did you create it yourself?"

At the same time, he swung his right leg and swept it sharply towards Shichigetsu.

July was not a novice like the disciples, and she did not put all her strength into the last move.

With a push of his legs, using the point where the blade was pressing down as a fulcrum, he quickly rose into the air, dodging the sweeping attack, and then flipped backward to a distance of half a zhang.

"It is indeed a sword technique I created myself, called 'Raikiri,' which I combined with the 'Instant Strike' of the Shikatori school!"

After finishing speaking in July, a sudden inspiration struck.

Spiritual pressure surged, the temperature rose sharply, and raging flames erupted on the blade and the body.

Red tide!

In July, my eyes were bloodshot, the high temperature caused the moisture in my body to evaporate rapidly, and even my skin cracked.

The intense heat emanating from his body caused the surrounding air to become somewhat distorted.

The shattered wooden sword could not withstand such a temperature and quickly carbonized, but under the influence of spiritual pressure, the carbonized wooden sword was still pieced back together.

At the same time, lightning arcs erupted from July's body once again.

Raikiri!

Lightning and flames intertwined, and the flames, illuminated by the lightning, transformed into golden blazes!
