In July, he struck again, his boiling blood and the electric arcs coiling around his body propelling him to another level of speed.

Thunder and Fire Spread - Instant Strike!

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's eyes widened in fury as he roared, "Good!!!"

He raised the wooden sword with both hands and used a powerful New Year's greeting sword technique to slash at the incoming sword.

boom--

The walls and roof of the swordplay room collapsed with a roar.

Dust and smoke filled the air, obscuring the view inside.

"Luckily I ran fast, otherwise my clothes would have gotten dirty. Honestly, does a swordsmanship contest really need to cause such a commotion?" Kyoraku Shunsui rubbed his forehead. "Satachi vice-captain, don't you think so?"

Chojiro Sasaki heard the commotion and came to investigate.

"The Captain-Commander has his own considerations." Chojiro Sasakibara raised his hand, indicating to the gathered First Division members that there was no danger here.

The dust and smoke slowly dissipated—

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, holding a wooden sword, stands atop the ruins.

When he released his spiritual pressure, the wooden sword instantly turned to dust.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni looked at Shikatori Nanatsuki lying on the ground, his injuries were horribly severe, and his skin was charred and carbonized all over.

The injuries on Shikatori Nanatsuki's body were mostly caused by his own moves.

"A brilliant move, but also very dangerous."

When he just defended against that attack, he had already used a spiritual pressure that exceeded that of Shikatoshi Nanatsuki.

"Chojiro, go and invite Captain Unohana here..." Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni paused, "Wait!"

Just then, he saw the faint light of the return path emanating from Shikatori Nanatsuki, who was lying on the ground.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was slightly shocked. The swordsmanship that Shikari Shichigetsu had shown earlier had already surprised him, but now that he had shown it again, he was even more shocked.

Thanks to the effect of the return path, Shikamori Nanatsuki's injuries are healing.

July got up, feeling itchy and sore all over, making it impossible for him to lie down.

Despite his severe injuries, he remained in a coma.

His "Born to Fight" attribute has been successfully activated!

[Born Warrior: Glory belongs to the born warrior! Reduce the impact of injuries on your actions, and you will fight with ever-growing ferocity, until the very end!]

The injuries he sustained this time were actually more severe than those he suffered in the battle with Unohana, but he did not faint.

After a while, the charred and carbonized skin gradually peeled off, revealing tender new skin.

The external injuries healed quickly, but the high temperature and lightning also affected the internal organs. In July, he estimated that it would take two or three days to fully recover.

In July, she looked at the skill panel and saw that there was a new beginner-level sword skill called Thunderfire Scorching the Plains.

His swordsmanship level also increased to 65.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said, "Your skill in responding to attacks is better than your swordsmanship."

Even with his years of experience, he had never seen such a technique that allowed the entire body to release and return to its source.

He thought this was the ability to return to the path that Shikatori Nanatsu had developed.

His swordsmanship is excellent, and his skill in returning to the right path is extremely high. That is his evaluation of Shikari Nanatsuki.

Kyoraku Shunsui also clicked his tongue in amazement: "I heard that Shikatori-kun learned his reply from Captain Unohana, he has truly surpassed his master!"

July's eye twitched, afraid that he would go out and cause trouble for her, so she quickly said, "My return technique is definitely not as good as Captain Unohana's. The return technique I'm using now is just an ability that I developed based on my own physique."

"That's already pretty good. The prerequisite for developing it is that the level of Dao of Return must be high enough." Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni nodded. This ability clearly requires an extremely high level of Dao of Return to achieve.

"However, your free-fighting skills are too weak. After the trial of the Mole City family is over, you can stay here and practice your free-fighting skills!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had a keen eye and could tell from their brief exchange that Shikamori Nanatsuki's skill level was not high.

"Yes!"

With a renowned teacher like Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni guiding him, July naturally wouldn't refuse. Moreover, after training here for a while, the captain-in-chief could practically be considered one of their own!

"Shikatori-kun, with your current appearance, if you go out with that old man, people might mistake you for his father!" Kyoraku Shunsui had been holding back for a long time, but finally couldn't help it.

"You wicked disciple!!!" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni used his hand as a knife to knock Kyoraku Shunsui down.

July was slightly taken aback, touched the top of her head, and found it unusually smooth.

My hair was burned off!

"Thunder and Fire Spreads" is extremely terrifying; it must be sealed before one can master it!

Chapter 83 Central 46

Today is the day that will decide the fate of the Mole City family.

In July, Kyoraku Shunsui followed Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni to the courtroom of Central Room 46.

This is a room with a stepped structure.

Overall, it is an octagonal funnel-shaped structure with forty-six seats arranged around the central platform on three tiers of steps, somewhat resembling the Colosseum of ancient Rome.

The arrangement of these seats is also very particular. The first row, which is closest to the center, is reserved for the upper-class nobles.

The higher you go, the farther you are from the center, and the more seats you get.

Several key members of the Mole City family stood on the central platform, awaiting trial.

Cilantro from Mole City, Shuangye from Mole City, and their parents are all here.

Their parents held them in their arms. They had been separated for some time, and according to what they knew, this was very likely their last time together.

Besides them, representatives from the Kasumi family were also present.

They knew what the theft of the records meant, so they had to take some emergency measures.

The judge said, "Akihiko Azumashiro, all the evidence points to the Azumashiro family's intention to rebel. Do you plead guilty?"

Akihiko Mochishige said coldly, "The Mochishige family has no intention of rebelling, nor has it prepared to rebel. Those so-called evidences are all slander!"

"Nonsense!" The judge ordered the evidence to be presented and continued, "These 'Mo Yao swords' were all found in the Mochi family mansion. Some of the guards were even equipped with 'Mo Yao swords.' And the letters between you and your retainers found in your bedroom are all evidence of treason!"

"The evidence is irrefutable; there's no room for your sophistry!"

"Wait!" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni suddenly said, "The evidence I have here proves that there is more to this story."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni took out the archives and submitted them.

The judge quickly reviewed the case file and passed it on to the other members of the 46th Chamber.

"These are the documents found in the archives of the Kasumigaoji family. The contents of the documents are detailed enough to prove that the 'Baku-yō-tō' is a weapon forged by the Kasumigaoji family," Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni said slowly.

The representative of the Kasumi clan stated, "Your Honor, the 'Baku-yō-tō' is indeed a weapon forged by the Kasumi clan."

"But our original intention in developing the 'Baku Yao Blade' was to enable the Grim Reaper to exert greater power when facing Hollows."

"The 'Mo Yao Knife' found in Zhicheng's house, as well as that knife-forging base, were both purchased from us."

"We had no idea that the Mole City family was plotting a rebellion, so we sold the 'Mo Yao Blade' to them. Who knew they were actually planning a rebellion!"

After the family records were stolen, the Xia Dalu family changed their strategy. They knew they couldn't get rid of the problem with the Tapir Blade, so they had no choice but to cut their losses and survive.

If the charge of treason against the Mochi family is proven, then they will not have the charge of falsely accusing the Mochi family of treason.

Otherwise, accusing the Zhicheng family of treason would be enough to send them to the execution ground.

The crime of forging the "Mo Yao Blade" using the souls of ordinary people is not enough to bring the Kasumigaoka family to eternal damnation.

For the upper-class nobles, such a charge would at most require them to find a few scapegoats, which would be enough to quell the matter.

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto, the two who entered the Kasumioji family's archives room shouldn't have had any transfer orders, right?" The Kasumioji representative pointed at Kyoraku Shunsui and Shikatori Nanatsuki and questioned, "They're stealing!"

"The plot of the Mochijo family's rebellion is highly suspicious, and it was I who sent people to investigate!" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni took a firm stance, accepting responsibility for forcibly entering Kasumidaji's archives.

"We'll set aside the issue of forging the 'Moyao Blade' for now," the judge said, tapping the table. "But the 'Moyao Blade' and the letters found at the Zhicheng family's residence are irrefutable evidence. These can serve as proof that the Zhicheng family is plotting a rebellion!"

Xia Dalu, representing the group, presented evidence: "These are the purchasing records of the Zhicheng family, and we have kept copies of these records."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had anticipated this, and slowly said, "The truth I know is not what you say."

"According to the investigation, you have repeatedly tampered with the patrol logs of the 10th Division, but you were unaware that Vice Captain Aman had made backups of the logs!"

“With the backup files as a reference, your actions are crystal clear!”

Xia Dalu was immediately drenched in sweat. He never expected that the deputy captain of the Awanmen had such a trick up his sleeve!

As the son-in-law of the Xia Dalu family, the deputy captain of Awanmen naturally knew about what Xia Dalu had done and had also helped them with many things.

To avoid being made a scapegoat later, he left himself a way to keep the Kasumigaoka family in check by making backups of the altered records.

To his surprise, he was the one who was taken into custody after the incident, and his original contingency plan became the death knell for the Kasumi family.

After the meeting yesterday, Kuchiki Ginrei and Ukitake Jushiro led their men directly to the home of Vice Captain Amanmon to search the house and found a backup of the 10th Division's patrol log.

The altered patrol logs recorded that members of the Kasumi family had frequent contact with some of the guards from the Mole City family.

This is enough to prove that the Xia Dalu family is a prime suspect!

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni added, "Regarding the forging of the 'Baku-yō-tō' (貘爻刀), there is one more important piece of evidence to supplement."

"The Kasumi family used not only commoners from Rukongai as 'sacrifices' for forging swords, but also students from the Spirit Arts Academy!"

Representative Kasumi immediately retorted, "That's slander! We absolutely did not use students from the Spirit Arts Academy as 'sacrifices' for forging swords!"

July took out a vial of blood from her pocket: "This blood was extracted from my student, Guan Zhimu Yan. It contains the spiritual pressure of the 'Baku Yao Dao'."

"Before Guan Zhimu Yan was devoured by the 'Mo Yao Blade', he asked me to find out the truth, so I preserved his blood."

After Guan Zhimu Yan was corrupted by the Baku Yao Dao, his entire body was filled with the spiritual pressure of the Baku Yao Dao.

Therefore, when he was treating Guan Zhimuyan, he drew several vials of blood as a precaution.

This evidence has come in handy today; it's enough to shake the resolve of many members of the 46th Chamber who originally wanted to protect the Kasumi family.

The 46th Chamber may not care about the souls of the Rukongai, but they absolutely cannot ignore the practice of using Spirit Arts Academy students as forging materials and offerings, especially since the Kanonok family is also a member of the 46th Chamber.

The judge immediately announced an investigation into the Kasumi family and postponed the trial of the Mosashiro family, a decision supported by more than half of the members of the 46th Chamber.
