Not only that, she also developed many red rashes all over her body, causing unbearable itching.

"Kana Azashiro wins!" After announcing the result, July quickly used Shunpo to appear in front of Kana Azashiro and caught her.

"Teacher... I won this time... Shikatori Ryu is the strongest!" Kana Azashiro gasped. She was already somewhat delirious, feeling exhausted, aching, and itchy all over, feeling worse than dead.

“You did a great job, you even combined ‘Thousand Pieces’ and ‘Flowing Light’ together,” July said softly.

He examined Cilantro's arm and found that the bones and tendons were broken.

"You won't be able to participate in the next match." July sighed slightly. Kana Mochi had paid a heavy price to win, and this injury would take several months to heal.

"It's alright... As long as Shikatori Ryu beat Kuchiki Sōjun..." Kana Azashiro was still feeling down after losing in the finals last time.

Moreover, in the last assessment, Kuchiki Sojun could be said to have achieved a four-way victory against Azuma Kana, Mukkaru Kensei, Hirako Shinji, and Kotsubaki Jin'emon.

All four of them had encountered Kuchiki Sojun, and he defeated them all.

They've trained so hard for so long just to defeat Kuchiki Sōjun in this assessment.

"I'm very pleased with your progress. Now, focus on recovering from your injuries." July's hand glowed with a faint light as she gave Cilantro Mole City's injuries emergency treatment.

Chapter 126 Preparation

The battle between Kana Momoshiro and Aoi Kuchiki caused a huge uproar in the audience.

"This Cilantro from Mole City has actually learned the Shikai too!"

"This year's students have already mastered Shikai by five people. This is probably a rare sight that only appears once every few centuries!"

Compared to them, we're just there to make up the numbers...

"How come Class One's grades are so bad? Wasn't it said that Class One had better students? Now, all four finalists are students from Class Two!"

"Yeah, wasn't Kuchiki Aoi supposed to be the next head of the Kuchiki family...? How come he fell in the quarterfinals..."

"Shh—Captain Kuchiki is coming down."

Seeing that Xiu Mu Cang Chun was lying there motionless, Xiu Mu Yin Ling couldn't sit still any longer.

After he came down, the other guests in the guest seats followed.

"Captain Unohana, please check on my son. He's in a very strange state." Kuchiki Ginrei examined his body. Kuchiki Sōjun was still lying there, his eyes open, unable to even close them.

Unohana first checked the injuries, then shone a light into Kuchiki Sojun's eyes. After a while, his pupils began to contract slightly.

Unohana looked up at Kuchiki Ginrei and said, "Captain Kuchiki, please rest assured, Kuchiki Sōjun has no fatal injuries. He was probably just affected by the Zanpakutō effect of Azashiro Kana. She has now released her Shikai, and Kuchiki Sōjun's senses are returning."

"Thank you, Captain Unohana." Kuchiki Ginrei nodded slightly. "My son has made a fool of himself."

Seeing that Kuchiki Ginrei's expression was very unpleasant, Kyoraku Shunsui comforted him, "Kuchiki Sojun's strength is already quite good, it's just that Azashiro Kana is a step ahead, Captain Kuchiki doesn't need to take it to heart."

After hearing this, Kuchiki Ginryo's face darkened even more.

Kyoraku Shunsui scratched his head: "Uh... Kuchiki Sōjun still has a lot of room for improvement and opportunities to grow..."

Jushiro Ukitake tugged at Shunsui Kyoraku's sleeve, signaling him not to say anything if he couldn't offer comfort.

Kuchiki Ginryo waved his hand dismissively: "No need to say more. The Kuchiki family are not sore losers. This is also a lesson for Kuchiki Sojun. His growth has been too smooth."

Xiu Mu Yin Ling walked towards the edge of the arena.

Shikatoshi Nanatsuki is still treating Akumashiro Kana. Akumashiro Kana's family also came to watch the match. Seeing that Akumashiro Kana was so badly injured, they also came to the ring.

"Your daughter is well-educated in Zhicheng, I truly admire her," said Xiumu Yinling in a friendly greeting.

The head of the Mochi City family said, "Not at all. When it comes to raising the next generation, I still have to consult Captain Kuchiki. My daughter's current growth is entirely due to the guidance of Master Shikatori!"

Kuchiki Ginrei turned to look at Shikatri Nanatsuki and said sincerely, "Shikatri-sensei, your talent is truly admirable, enabling some disciples with little kendo background to grow to this level in such a short time."

"If possible, I would like to invite you to serve as the swordsmanship instructor for the Kuchiki family."

July was somewhat surprised by Kuchiki Ginryo's attitude.

Kuchiki Sojun, the heir whom the Kuchiki family was grooming, failed in the quarterfinals, which was a disgrace to the Kuchiki family.

Kuchiki Ginrei didn't care about losing face and even came to invite him to be the Kuchiki family's swordsmanship instructor.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Captain Kuchiki. I would be happy to take on the role of swordsmanship instructor as well." After thinking for a moment, July agreed. He could accept the idea of ​​taking on an additional teaching position.

Nakano, the head of the White Fight Club, also serves as the White Fight Instructor for the Onmitsukido, which does not conflict with his teaching position at the Spirit Arts Academy.

Neither the Covert Force nor the Kuchiki family has only one or two instructors. These part-time instructors don't stay there all the time; they just go occasionally and don't need to spend too much time there.

"Then it's settled." Kuchiki Ginrei smiled warmly.

Unohana came over and looked at the injury on Kana Mochishiro's hand, and frowned: "Shikatori-kun, she will probably need to recuperate for a long time, otherwise she may be left with a disability."

July nodded: "Coriander will withdraw from the next match so she can recover from her injury."

He certainly couldn't let Kana Mochi continue fighting; there was no need to jeopardize her future for the sake of a swordsmanship contest.

Ayane Kotetsu said, "Then there are only two matches left. The opponents will be determined by drawing lots. The student who draws Kana Azashiro will directly advance to the finals."

All the players who participated in the semi-finals needed treatment, so the semi-finals were rescheduled for two days later.

In July, he brought Cilantro from Mole City back to the dojo and personally treated her.

...

I finally had time to check the panel in July.

The panel displays two rewards waiting to be claimed:

[Guiding Kensei Rokusha to complete his initial release training, reward settlement.]

[Reward: 10000 Universal Experience Points]

[Reward Obtained: Measurement Map of Killing Intent Stone Vein]

[Guiding Hirako Shinji to complete his initial liberation training, reward settlement.]

[Reward: 10000 Universal Experience Points]

[Reward Obtained: Spirit Orb Core Crafting Recipe]

Kensei Muguruma and Shinji Heiko's initial training quests were triggered during the summer vacation.

"A map of the Killing Intent Stone vein? The system's rewards are really something else..." July took out two reward items and looked at them.

[Surveillance Map of a Killing Intent Stone Vein: A survey map of a Killing Intent Stone vein located in the Soul Society.]

Killing Stone is a rare mineral that can completely block spiritual particles and spiritual pressure.

The Seireitei Wall, which separates Seireitei from Rukongai and protects the Soul King's Palace, is constructed from Killing Stones.

The measurement map of the Killing Stone vein records a Killing Stone vein, and the description on it is very detailed.

Once opened, the surrounding spiritual particles constructed a three-dimensional phantom of a mountain, with the location of each ore clearly recorded.

"Killing Intent Stones are good things... If you want to build a secret laboratory, Killing Intent Stones are the best material," July thought to herself.

The spiritual technology in the Bleach world has a very high ceiling, and many of the achievements of Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi in the future will be of great use to captain-level powerhouses.

If he were to pursue the path of a transcendent in the future, he would definitely need to study the powers of Hollows, Quincy, and Soul Kings, making a sufficiently secretive laboratory essential.

He then looked at the other reward item:

[Spirit Orb Core: Infusing spiritual pressure into it creates a rigid protective shield that can pass through the Soul-Shielding Membrane of Seireitei without injury.]

Only the Shiba family, one of the five great families, can make Spirit Orb Cores, and now July has also mastered the production of Spirit Orb Cores.

The sky above Seireitei is protected by a layer of shroud. When a spirit crosses the shroud, it will be broken down into spirit particles upon contact with it. Therefore, spirits can only enter Seireitei through the various city gates.

However, the protective shield released by the Spirit Pearl Core can withstand the damage from the Soul-Shielding Membrane.

With the Spirit Orb Core, it's even possible to bring others through the Soul-Binding Membrane, making it much easier to enter and exit Seireitei.

Chapter 127 A Disgrace to Be a Teacher!

Kuchiki Sojun's defeat caused the Kuchiki family to lose face.

The Kuchiki family is known for its strict family discipline in Seireitei, so Kuchiki Sōjun was naturally not spared a beating.

“Father, I was too careless before, which led to yesterday’s failure. I am willing to accept the punishment.” Kuchiki Sojun knelt in front of Kuchiki Ginryo.

"You're under house arrest for a month. Just stay home and practice your swordsmanship. Seriously reflect on yesterday's failure," said Kuchiki Ginrei.

"Yes, I will cultivate diligently," Kuchiki Sojun said, bowing his head.

"Your swordsmanship teacher is Tsunayoshi Tokina, right? Is his teaching level just average?" Kuchiki Ginrei continued to ask.

He hadn't paid much attention to the faculty of the Spirit Arts Academy before, thinking that the faculty wouldn't have much impact on Kuchiki Sojun, since Kuchiki Sojun mainly cultivated at home.

However, Kotetsu Ayane thoughtfully prepared a copy of the previous assessment results for each of the captains watching the match, as a comparison.

Kuchiki Ginryo discovered that Class One's only weakness was in swordsmanship.

Moreover, the rapid improvement in Class 2's grades caught his attention, which is why he invited Shikatoki Nanatsuki to serve as a swordsmanship instructor at the Kuchiki family.

Although Kuchiki Ginryo did not react on the spot yesterday, he kept the situation in mind and planned to have someone check the teaching situation of Class One after the competition.

“Soujun doesn’t know how good Tsunayoshi’s teaching is, because…” Sojun Kuchiki said hesitantly, “he has never taught us anything.”

"He hasn't taught you anything?" Kuchiki Ginrei was slightly taken aback. "He's been your swordsmanship teacher for so long, and he hasn't taught you anything?"

Kuchiki Sojun said helplessly, "Tsuna Yayoshi rarely comes to class. When she does come, she just lets us practice on our own."

Kuchiki Ginrei's face darkened, and he sneered, "The Tsunayo family... can't even be bothered to put on an act?"

He knew that the Tsunayo family wanted to gradually take over the Spirit Arts Academy, but he didn't expect that the Tsunayo family would not even bother with the pretense and would just blatantly pocket the Spirit Arts Academy.

The Kuchiki family didn't want to get involved in this matter; they felt it wasn't a wise thing to do.

Ultimately, the Spirit Arts Academy is still the core of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's lineage. Without his approval, the Tsunayo family cannot take over the position of Dean, nor can they gradually take over the Spirit Arts Academy.

“The Tsuna-Yashiro family has become arrogant... They’ve forgotten how terrifying that man was…” Kuchiki Ginrei shook his head. “Heh—maybe they’ll become one of the four great families in the future.”

Kuchiki Ginrei thought of the other families' situations: the Tsunayo family was corrupt and decadent, the Shiba family had not produced any capable people for a long time, but the Shihōin family had an outstanding descendant.

Kuchiki Ginryo solemnly warned Kuchiki Cangchun: "Cangchun, remember this: no matter what, arrogance and pride are the path to death."

Kuchiki Sojun bowed his head and said, "Yes, Sojun will remember it."

Looking at his son kneeling before him, Kuchiki Ginryo felt a pang of guilt.
