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

His body flew backward rapidly, crashing into two large trees before coming to a stop.

The light only pierced the skin before being blocked by the dense network of blue blood vessels.

Upon seeing this, July felt a slight unease.

Bloodlust Gear!

Pure-blooded Quincy or some powerful hybrid Quincy can directly infuse spiritual energy into their blood vessels to enhance their combat abilities.

Blood-enhancing gear can increase attack power, while static blood-enhancing gear can strengthen defense.

Quincy who can use Blood Armor are extremely difficult enemies.

"The medical team will continue to evacuate the wounded. The enemy will be dealt with by me and the covert mobile team!"

"Yes!"

Yoruichi and the Onmitsuki also engaged in combat with three other Quincy. Seeing that the three Quincy were just weaklings, Nanatsu stopped paying attention to them and focused her attention on the black-haired Quincy.

The black-haired Quincy stood up, tucked a strand of hair that had fallen from her temple, and neatened her hairstyle again.

"You've made great progress... What's your name?"

“Deer take July.” July said casually, and then checked the other party’s panel:

Tsugugen Ishida

[Talent: S]

[Spiritual Pressure: lv75]

【Spiritual Particle Cluster: Lv85】

[Reputation Level: Hate]

The character stats of Shinigami and Quincy are somewhat different.

Shinigami (death gods) derive their spiritual pressure from themselves, while Quincy (queens) can manipulate external spiritual particles in addition to their own spiritual pressure.

Spirit clustering is a basic ability possessed by every Quincy.

"Shikatori Nanatsuki... Your strength is enough for me to record you in my battle log." Ishida Jigen unfurled his spirit bow from the hilt of his cross-shaped longsword and fired a spirit arrow. "Remember this, even in hell, don't forget—it was Ishida Jigen who killed you!"

July's spiritual pressure surged, deflecting the spiritual arrow shot by Ishida Jigen, and then she gently stroked the blade:

"Observe all things, Shadow Princess."

"You can enter shadows, huh? I won't fall for that!" Ishida Jigen raised his longsword and swiftly slashed behind him.

clang!

Ishida Tsugumi blocked the black blade coming from behind, but before he could even feel happy, he saw Shikari Nanatsuki appear from three other directions at the same time.

Furthermore, these afterimages were all wrapped in arcs of lightning.

"Oh no!" A thought flashed through Ishida Tsugumi's mind.

puff-

Four Directions Instant Strike - Lightning Slash!

Ishida Tsugumi had a charred knife wound on his left arm, abdomen, and back at the same time.

If it weren't for the protection of the Bloodstained Armor, he would have been broken into several pieces by now, and even so, he was still seriously injured.

call out--

Ishida Tsugumi quickly used his flying sickle kick to create distance between himself and Shikari Nanatsuki.

"I was careless..."

They were completely suppressed!

He didn't expect that Shikagatsu's sword was so much faster than before, and it could even break through his Bloodlust Armor!

When they last met, Shikagiri Nanatsuki wasn't this strong, but now they're worlds apart.

Before Ishida Tsugumi could even catch his breath, Shikari Nanatsuki had already caught up with him using Shunpo.

Instant coax!

After Shikatoshi Nanatsuki entered his Instantaneous Coil state, Ishida Tsugugen was unable to create any distance.

Shikatoki walked alongside Ishida Tsugumi, his black blade swiftly slashing towards Ishida Tsugumi.

Faced with the incoming black blade, Ishida Tsugumi could only raise his longsword to parry.

bang——

Ishida Tsugumi was completely unable to withstand July's power and was slammed into the ground.

Instead of pressing his advantage, Shikago no Nanatsuki quickly disappeared into the shadows.

Several spiritual blades flew through the spot where Shikagiri Nanatsuki had just been standing.

"Damn it!" Ishida Jigen was furious. He realized he couldn't keep up with Shikatoshi Nanatsu's speed.

His recent injury has significantly reduced his speed.

If you don't play well at the start, you'll be snowballed into a losing position!

Just then, countless strands of spiritual energy surged from Ishida Tsugumi's body.

Countless strands of spiritual particles intertwined in the air.

These thread-like strands of spiritual energy were attached to Ishida Jigen's body, making him look like a manipulated puppet.

"A chaotic mess of celestial puppets!"

Chapter 104 Chaotic Heavenly Puppet

Ishida Tsugen decisively used the Chaotic Heavenly Puppet.

If we keep dragging this out, we'll be killed by Shikagiri Nanatsuki sooner or later. We might as well take a gamble.

Even when in a state of chaotic celestial puppetry, Quincy can control their bodies to continue fighting through spiritual beams before their bodies turn to dust.

This is a top-tier combat spirit technique designed for fighting to the death.

Just as Ishida Tsugen used the Chaotic Heavenly Puppet, a streak of lightning struck from afar.

Ishida Tsugumi slightly turned his body, trying to dodge the lightning beam, but the lightning beam still pierced through his right chest.

"What a pity..." July felt a little regretful. He had originally planned to kill Ishida Jigen while he was still.

Unfortunately, Ishida Jigen sensed the danger and dodged the fatal blow.

"A very powerful move..." A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Ishida Jigen's mouth, "but it's far from enough to kill me!"

"Feel the power of the Quincy!" Ishida Jigen laughed wildly, unleashing the power of his Spirit Particle Cluster to its limit, causing the surrounding Spirit Particles to rapidly converge on him.

Highly concentrated spiritual particles condensed onto Ishida Tsugumi's longsword, transforming it into a lightsaber.

Wielding his lightsaber, a curved blade condensed from highly concentrated spiritual particles swiftly slashed towards July.

July raised her Zanpakuto again, her left index and middle fingers crackling with lightning as she gripped the blade tightly.

He unleashed another bolt of lightning, which collided with the Spirit Arc Blade.

The moment the lightning streak collided with the spiritual arc blade, a terrifying burst of airflow erupted.

boom--

After the smoke cleared, Ishida Tsugumi was covered in blood, but thanks to the effects of the Chaotic Heavenly Puppet, he was still able to fight.

July was also slightly injured. Because he needed to use Flowing Light, he didn't have time to sink into the shadows to avoid the shockwave.

However, he possesses both "natural battle mania" and "self-healing ability," so this level of injury will not diminish his combat power at all.

July's spiritual pressure surged, and the lightning arcs on his shoulders, back, and Zanpakuto increased in power, as if a thunder god had descended to earth.

Instantaneous Roar - Lightning Blade Form!

Ishida Tsugumi was shocked to discover that Shikari Nanatsu's speed had increased again!

He originally thought he could use the Chaotic Heavenly Puppet to wear down Lu Quqiyue, since the combination of the Spirit Particle Clustering ability and the Chaotic Heavenly Puppet would allow him to trade injuries and maintain his peak combat power for a long time.

As a result, Shikamori Nanatsuki's increased speed completely extinguished his hopes.

He was completely unable to keep up with Shikagiri Nanatsu's speed, and could only raise his arms to protect his neck and other vital parts, using his Bloodlust Armor to defend against Shikagiri Nanatsu's attacks with all his might.

Even though Ishida Jigen used all his strength to maintain the Bloodstained Armor, he still couldn't withstand Shikatoshi Nanatsuki's attack!

Eight bolts of lightning flashed, and eight wounds burst open on Ishida Tsugumi's body. Even his hands were cut into several pieces, but the Chaotic Heavenly Puppet still forcibly connected them together.

Ishida Tsugumi was in dire straits. The chaotic creation of the Heavenly Puppet did not bring him a turning point, but instead subjected him to a cruel torture akin to being slowly sliced ​​to death.

Ishida Jigen could no longer bear it; every second he lived was an insult to him!

Just as the black blade pierced his chest, he grabbed Shikagiri Nanatsuki's hand with one hand and used the other to insert a syringe filled with concentrated spiritual liquid into his neck.

"Come to hell with me!"

The next moment, a terrifying surge of spiritual pressure erupted from his body.

--boom!!!

A mushroom cloud shot into the sky from the forest beside the valley, tearing countless trees to shreds by the terrifying shockwave.

The medical team members who were transferring the wounded all heard a loud noise coming from the forest and even felt the ground shake.

If Shichikagi hadn't deliberately moved the battle area away from here, this explosion would likely have caused huge casualties to the medical team and the wounded.

Seinosuke Yamada was the first to react, shouting, "Never mind that! Keep moving the wounded! Lieutenant Captain Shikatori is still fighting for us; we must race against time to get the wounded out!"

"Yes!"

The medical team members forced themselves to suppress their fear and continued to transfer the wounded.

Yoruichi Shihouin on the other side also felt the strong shockwave.

She, along with three members of the Covert Mobile Unit and the remaining two Quincy, were all repelled by the shockwave.

After the shockwave dissipated, Yoruichi realized that the location of the explosion was where her teacher was, and she was immediately shocked.

"Teacher!" Yoruichi quickly called out to the Onmitsukido Squad, "Give me cover!"
