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

Soon, the bone armor between the abdomen and neck completely disintegrated, leaving only the armor on the shoulders.

Immediately afterwards, cracks appeared on the mask covering her face.

She touched the mask on her face, and it instantly turned into powder and fell off quickly.

Soon, the sheep bone mask that had originally covered the entire head was reduced to just the top half of the mask with sheep horns.

As the fragments slowly fell, a beautiful and sweet-looking woman's face gradually came into view.

"Hmm..." Nelielu murmured softly, the veins on her skin containing intense spiritual pressure quickly receded, and her slightly reddened skin gradually turned white.

Her features were exquisite, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes. Beneath her arched eyebrows were a pair of clear and bright eyes.

“Teacher… my mask…” Nelieel touched her face and was surprised to find that her mask had fallen off.

"This is! I've evolved into a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow?!" Nereel was quite shocked.

She didn't understand the combination of Shinigami power and Hollows, but she knew the limits of Hollows—once a Hollow reaches a certain limit, it can remove the mask on its face and evolve into a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow.

“Your limits are far from over. With the power of death, you have the chance to surpass even a ‘Vastod’ like Barragan,” July said with a smile. “Try communicating with your inner self.”

Neliel closed her eyes and quickly found an instinctive ability, her body rapidly changing shape.

The half-human, half-antelope body transformed into a human form, and a long sword appeared in its hand.

Neliel didn't have time to look at the knife in her hand because she found herself feeling a chill.

"Eh!!!"

Chapter 195 Bringing it back to the dojo

Nelliel's power was transformed into a Zanpakuto, allowing her to transform from a half-human, half-antelope form into a human form.

bang-

Neriel's Zanpakuto fell to the ground.

Neliel didn't have time to fully experience and feel her new form before she hurriedly covered her private parts with her hands.

However, Nellyel's vitals were too large, and her slender, delicate hands could not cover them at all.

Instead, it caused his vital organs to churn violently.

In July, I recalled the scene I saw the moment I opened the door on a snowy morning.

The untouched snow, white and soft, seemed to be nature's purest gift.

July picked up the cloak that Neliel had taken off earlier and draped it over Neliel's shoulders.

The gentle touch of fingertips on her shoulder made Neliel's heart flutter like a deer.

The blush on Nelliel's face was as luscious and beautiful as a ripe fruit.

“Nel, this is the result of combining with the power of the Shinigami.” July picked up Neliel’s Zanpakuto that had fallen to the ground and spoke to ease her embarrassment.

“I can sense that the form after liberation is much stronger than the form before it was destroyed.” Nellyel nodded gently.

"Your spiritual pressure is already approaching that of a captain-level Shinigami, but your use of spiritual pressure and combat skills are still very rudimentary. Your future training should focus on these areas," July said.

Nellyel's spiritual pressure is still in its growth stage and is far from reaching its limit.

"Come with me to the dojo, I'll find you some clothes to wear first."

While a hooded cloak can cover the whole body, it's not very convenient to wear as clothing.

Neliel's figure is similar to that of Baiyunzhai, and in July she plans to go back to the dojo to get Baiyunzhai's clothes for her.

"Will it be alright if the other people in the dojo see me?" Nelielu was a little uneasy. After all, she was a Hollow, while her teacher's other disciples were Shinigami or Shinigami trainees. She was afraid that she would have a conflict with the others if she went to the dojo.

"Don't worry, everyone in the dojo is trustworthy," July said gently.

In July, I plan to take Nelliel to the dojo for training.

He will then make a set of clothes for Nelliel to shield her spiritual pressure. As long as she wears a hat that can cover her mask, even if outsiders come to the dojo, they will not be able to tell that she is a Hollow.

After leaving the room, the two passed by the laboratory and saw Aizen Sousuke cultivating fungal Hollows using the Hueco Mundo sand he had brought back.

“Teacher, just as I expected, it requires the sand of Hueco Mundo to…” Aizen Sousuke looked up and was slightly taken aback when he saw the green-haired woman following behind his teacher.

He glanced at the half-ram's horn mask on Nelliel's head and was startled. "Nelliel?! In this form..."

“These are Arrancar,” July smiled. “In Hueco Mundo, there are a very small number of exceptionally talented Hollows who can evolve to the level of ‘Vastood’ and can Arrancar on their own.”

"Nel's strength shouldn't have reached this level yet, right?" Aizen Sousuke asked doubtfully. He had tested Nel's strength and knew very well that Nel was still far from evolving.

“That’s true. Nel is still a long way from becoming an Arrancar on her own, but I’ve helped her reach a whole new level by combining Hollow and Shinigami power,” July explained.

"Our path is correct!" Aizen Sousuke was thrilled. He had finally witnessed an example of the combination of Shinigami power and Hollow power. However, he had a new question: "When did you succeed, Master? Haven't we started testing our Shinigami-to-Hollow transformation experiments yet?"

His trip to Hueco Mundo to collect Hueco Mundo sand was to cultivate fungi to act as a growth catalyst for creating Hueco Mundo skeletons.

The ethereal beings they cultivated had not yet grown to the point where they could be used for experiments on becoming Death Gods.

"It's just a chance result from other experiments, and it can't be reproduced for now." July took out the injection syringe of the 'Death God Spirit Vaccine,' which still had a trace of drug residue on it. "Extract the residue and analyze it. I need to see the analysis report within three days."

“Then I will raise this to the highest priority.” Aizen Sousuke took the syringe.

Because July would occasionally bring out some unfamiliar technological products, Aizen Sousuke had long suspected that his teacher had other laboratories.

In July, Nelliel arrived at the Shikatodo Dojo.

There were hardly any people at the dojo; only Lisa, Komamura Sajin, and Shikato Hakunsai were there today.

Lisa was sparring with Komamura Sajin, while Bayunsai was drinking tea under the eaves and watching the two spar.

"Where are the others?" July asked casually.

Those who have become Shinigami disciples don't often stay at the dojo, but the few who are not yet Shinigami disciples usually live there.

“School’s about to start, so they decided to go home first.” Ba Yunzhai glanced at Nelliel, who was following behind July. “Who is she…?”

Because Nelliel was wearing a cloak that shielded her spiritual pressure, she didn't realize for a moment that the other party was a Hollow.

“This is my newly accepted disciple.” July gestured for Nelliel to take off her hat.

“Grandmaster!” Nelielu nervously removed her hood.

Ba Yunzhai's gaze was immediately drawn to the half-mask on Nelliel's head.

After Nelliel took off her hat, Bayunzai could sense her spiritual pressure, which was different from that of a Shinigami.

"The Arrancar Vasto Lorde?!" Baiyunzhai was knowledgeable and knew about the Arrancar.

Even in Hueco Mundo, Arrancar Vasto Lordes are extremely rare, and Baiyunzhai never expected that July would take in such a disciple.

"It was my teacher's Shinigami power that helped me become an Arrancar..." Nelieel quickly said that she wasn't that powerful.

"The power of death has this kind of effect?" Ba Yunzhai asked thoughtfully. "Is it something you've been researching...?"

“Yes, it’s a pity that it can’t be reproduced for the time being.” July nodded and said, “But the changes in Nel’s body can prove that this path is feasible. If we can stably make the Shinigami Hollowfied, we can create a spiritual pressure core that can support your body.”

In July, he used the spirit remains to study the transformation of the Shinigami into Hollows and the Hollowfication of the Shinigami. In addition to laying the groundwork for the Hogyoku technology, the main purpose was to replace the spiritual pressure core of the Banyunzai.

If the spirit of the Grim Reaper can be made ethereal, then it might be possible to obtain a core of spiritual pressure sufficient to contain the spirit of the Ba Yun Zhai.

"I'm still waiting for Kiryu-san to be promoted to Squad Zero. Once I'm in Squad Twelve, I'll have more resources to do research on spirit remains," July said with a light laugh.

"Don't overwork yourself. You're teaching so many disciples and doing research... Anyway, my spirit body is still quite stable. I just need to store spiritual pressure in the spirit-gathering pills in my body on time." Ba Yunzhai said with some concern.

“This child doesn’t have any clothes to wear yet. I’ll take her to get some clothes.”

Baiyunzhai took Nelliel to his room, and in July he observed the sparring between the two disciples in the courtyard.

Komamura Sajin and Lisa's wooden swords clashed, with Komamura Sajin attempting to use his size advantage to suppress Lisa.

"Elbow strike!" Lisa yelled.

As Lisa parried Komamura Sajin's sword with the blade, she quickly raised the hilt and struck Komamura Sajin's chin with it.

"How could you have learned those shameless tricks of Isshin Shiba!" Komamura Sajin exclaimed, clutching his chin.

“That’s how we win.” Lisa put away her wooden sword. “According to the rules of the wooden sword competition, I’ve already scored points.”

Lisa had been at the dojo for several years and had long since emerged from the shadow of Granny Jiang's passing.

However, she always has a cool and aloof appearance, giving people a feeling that strangers should not approach her.

But those who know her well will know that she is actually a very active person.

"The teacher is here!" Lisa hurried forward.

“Teacher!” Komamura Sajin stood respectfully to the side.

"Your foundation is already quite good," July praised.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, Lisa's talent surpasses that of Soya Azajo and Isane Kotetsu.

“I’m still far from it. I’m completely outmatched by Cilantro-neechan,” Lisa said.

"Practice hard, and you can catch up with her," July said. "Next, you can begin advanced training in spiritual pressure control. After completing this, you will be able to learn the 'Flowing Light' sword technique."

July glanced at the notification that popped up on the panel:

[Current training task added: Guiding Yadomaru Lisa through advanced spiritual pressure control training (in progress)]

"Zuo Zhen, are you getting used to staying at the dojo?" July asked with a smile.

"The dojo is very good, and the people here are all very kind and friendly." Komamura Sajin couldn't help but think of Shiba Isshin, and after a pause, he said, "Except for Shiba Isshin."

That guy's moves were even less ethical than those of someone who had been through the wringer in Rukongai.

In the competition two days ago, Komamura Sajin was careless and was kicked in the groin by Shiba Isshin.

He remembered this grudge!

“Isshin…that kid is a bit too unruly.” July continued, “Your training in Rukongai has given you a pretty good foundation in all aspects, and you can now advance your spiritual pressure control training.”

A prompt pops up on the panel:

[Current training task added: Guiding Komamura Sajin through advanced spiritual pressure control training (in progress)]

“Lisa, you’ve seen Isshin Shiba and the others’ training, so you should know what to do. Take Sajin to the storeroom and get the bell.”

"Yes!"

Lisa led Komamura Sajin to the storeroom and retrieved several specially made bells, which they then hung on their cuffs and belts.

As they walked back, the bells on their bodies jingled continuously.

"These bells are special. After injecting spiritual pressure, you can control the axe-maru inside the bells. The spiritual pressure control training method of Shikatori-ryu is to prevent these bells from ringing when you swing the sailfish wooden sword," July explained to Komamura Sajin.

"It's difficult, but I'll do my best!" Komamura Sajin nodded, and the movement of his body immediately made the sensitive bells ring.

At this moment, Baiyunzhai and Nelliel also came out of the room.

Nelliel changed into the dojo uniform of the Bayunsai, a white robe and crimson hakama, somewhat similar to a shrine maiden's outfit.

According to Ba Yunzhai, the Shikato Dojo is a branch of a Shinto priest family that has been passed down through generations.

“It fits perfectly. It seems your custom-made clothes can be made according to Baiyunzhai’s measurements.” July introduced Lisa and Komamura Sajin to them. “Let me introduce you. This is my new disciple, Nelliel. You can also call her Nelliel.”

Like Hakuunsai, Lisa and Komamura Sajin were immediately drawn to the half-ram's horn mask on Nelliel's head when they first saw her. Moreover, she wasn't wearing a cloak to shield her spiritual pressure, and Lisa and Komamura Sajin sensed a spiritual pressure fluctuation from her that was different from that of a Shinigami.

However, their knowledge was not as extensive as that of Baiyunzhai, and they did not know that Nelliel was a Hollow.

"I am Nel, a Hollow, nice to meet you!" Nelel greeted him nervously, but she relaxed a little when she saw Komamura Sajin's humanoid dog-like appearance.

The master's dojo even has big dogs, so it's not surprising that there's an Arrancar Hollow there!

"Daxu?!"

Lisa and Komamura Sajin were both surprised. Neither of them had ever seen a Hollow, but they had heard that Hollows were terrifying creatures. They never expected to see a Hollow here that looked almost like a human.

“Nil’s situation is rather special. I hope you can treat her as an ordinary soul. However, once you leave the dojo, please do not discuss anything about her,” July said.

Introducing Nilu to the disciples can also be seen as a test.

Different people have different attitudes toward emptiness.

He will need some people to lead Hueco Mundo when he takes control of the city, and his disciple is the best candidate.

"I am Yadomaru Lisa, nice to meet you." Lisa quickly calmed down and stared at Nelieel's prominent genitals for a few more seconds.

"I am Komamura Sajin. You are very fortunate to have met the best teacher in Soul Society." Komamura Sajin nodded slightly.

Komamura Sajin's heart was not as calm as Lisa's.
