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

The power of thunder exploded, sending dust, dirt, and gravel flying everywhere in the arena.

Fortunately, there was a spiritual barrier set up by the teachers in the audience seats, otherwise all the students watching the battle would have been affected.

"Hiss—Lisa is actually that amazing!" Shiba Isshin exclaimed in disbelief.

His impression of Lisa was still from before the competition; he hadn't expected her strength to have improved so much.

“Lisa’s strength has improved quite a bit,” Aizen Sousuke said with a smile.

“I knew Lisa had been practicing ‘Raikiri’ in the back mountains, but I didn’t expect her ‘Raikiri’ to be so powerful.” Komamura Sajin nodded and marked Lisa as an opponent he needed to go all out against.

"Shikatori-kun, is this the technique you taught us? It's terrifying!" Kyoraku Shunsui complained. "Luckily, Munehiro used the 'Round Gate Fan,' or we would have been turned to ashes!"

He had been on high alert; if Kyoraku Munehiro hadn't used the 'Round Gate Fan,' he would have tried to stop the Thunder Spear.

With Kyoraku Munehiro's spiritual strength, he was unable to withstand this attack.

In July, he was also keeping an eye on the arena to prevent any accidents from happening.

However, Kyoraku Munehiro used the 'round gate' and was not in mortal danger, so he did not intervene.

“This is a variation of the ‘Raikiri’ sword technique, isn’t it? The way it releases lightning is similar to ‘Raikiri’.” Yoruichi Shihouin stroked her chin. She was very familiar with ‘Raikiri’ and could tell at a glance that this move had the shadow of ‘Raikiri’.

“Lisa’s Zanpakuto ‘Iron Dragonfly’ seems to be able to contain more lightning. After condensing the lightning into the gun body, the ‘Raikiri’ she unleashes is unique.” July nodded.

Chapter 248 Divine Punishment

After the smoke and dust cleared from the arena, a large crater was revealed.

Kyoraku Munehiro lay unconscious in the pit.

"Lisa Yadomaru wins!"

As soon as Duanmu Zongjie announced the results of the match, the medical team's "death squad" immediately stepped forward and carried away the unconscious Kyoraku Munehiro.

"Lisa's moves are terrifying!"

Kotetsu Isane came to Yadomaru Lisa's side and used the Reincarnation Technique to heal her.

The attack was incredibly powerful, and Yadomaru Lisa's hand, which was used to throw the 'Iron Dragonfly,' was seriously injured.

"This hand is completely immobile... This move can only be used once every few days." Yadomaru Lisa discovered that her right hand, which was torn and bleeding, was completely immobile.

"Your injury will probably take two or three days to heal," Kotetsu Isane assessed. "Luckily, the semifinals aren't until a few days later, otherwise you wouldn't be able to participate in the upcoming matches."

“I never tried using my full strength during my training, I didn’t expect it to have such a big side effect,” Yadomaru Lisa said helplessly.

The power of the Raikiri, unleashed by the 'Iron Dragonfly', exceeded her expectations, as did its side effects.

With her current spiritual strength, she is not yet able to perform it without taking any damage.

After the two left the ring, Komamura Sajin and Iba Tetsuzaemon stepped onto the ring.

Iba Tetsuzaemon had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.

He lost to Komamura Sajin in the group stage because he went out of bounds, which made him very upset.

They lost before they even had a chance to show their true potential!

He felt very fortunate to have drawn Komamura Sajin.

We must defeat Komamura Sajin this time and regain our honor.

Komamura Sajin once again used the 'Dust Blade', the blade stirring up a cloud of dust as he slashed fiercely at Iba Tetsuzaemon.

"The same trick won't work on me!" Iba Tetsuzaemon already knew that the sand had a blinding effect. "I won't fall for it this time!"

"Binding Spell #24: Wind Rope!"

Iba Tetsuzaemon released a rope formed from wind from two fingers, which entangled Komamura Sajin's Zanpakuto.

At the same time, the sand and dust in the air were also sucked away by the wind ropes.

After Isaba Tetsuomon lost to Komamura Sajin last time, he went back and carefully thought about how to deal with Komamura Sajin's moves.

For sandstorms that can cause blindness, using wind-based ghost magic is the most suitable way to deal with them.

After Iba Tetsuoemon controlled Komamura Sajin's Zanpakuto, he quickly drew his other sword and slashed at Komamura Sajin.

"Hah—!!!" Komamura Sajin shouted, using immense force to change the direction of his Zanpakuto and block Iba Tetsuzaemon's sword.

clang--

Ichiba Tetsuomon was immediately startled; this opponent's strength was quite terrifying.

Even a rope couldn't hold his knife!

With their blades clashing, the two men immediately found themselves locked in a pincer movement, each exerting pressure on the other.

Even though Iba Tetsuzaemon was pulling on Komamura Sajin's sword with a rope while wrestling with him.

However, the blade was still pressed towards Iba Tetsuzaemon.

As the blade drew ever closer, cold sweat poured down his back.

The guests in the audience were also discussing the competition.

"How irrational of them to choose to fight against an opponent from the werewolf clan!" The third division vice-captain, Senetsu Iba, frowned as he watched the two fighting on the stage.

Iba Tetsuzaemon is the son of Iba Sentetsu. She is a strict mother and couldn't help but feel dissatisfied when she saw her son using such an irrational fighting style.

“Werewolf clans are very rare, so it’s normal that Tetsuzaemon didn’t know they were strong,” Ukitake Jushiro said, trying to smooth things over.

"This is common sense; even if you haven't seen it, you should have heard of it!" Shechang Qiantie said seriously. "When dealing with werewolves, you shouldn't engage in close combat!"

“Speaking of which, this werewolf is the one we met during our ‘study abroad’ trip, right, Shikato-kun?” Kyoraku Shunsui scratched his face, recalling what happened during their study abroad trip last year.

“Zuo Zhen is a disciple he took in during his ‘study tour’.” July nodded gently.

"He seemed to be in some trouble back then, has it been resolved now?" Jushiro Ukitake asked enthusiastically.

"It's been resolved. He offended a nobleman while saving someone, but they've 'made peace' now." July nodded with a smile.

Komamura Sajin made a unilateral reconciliation because Amanto Tomoya was already dead.

"This werewolf has a lot of potential. His strength is also an advantage in swordsmanship." Kenpachi Kuruyashiki flipped through Komamura Sajin's file. "This is another one who has mastered Shikai... Shikatori-kun's school is truly full of talent!"

Kenpachi Kuruyashiki stroked his chin, suddenly having a strong premonition—

Could it be that the semifinals are all internal battles between disciples of Shikagiri Nanatsuki?

"The Shikatori Dojo has flourished under Shikatori-kun's leadership," Retsu Unohana remarked with some emotion.

A few years or a decade is not a long time for her.

However, Shikari Nanatsuki managed to transform the deserted Shikari Dojo into a well-known dojo throughout Seireitei in such a short period of time.

If it weren't for the high standards for accepting disciples at the Shikatogi Dojo, the dojo would probably be packed with people long ago.

“It is indeed well done. Even when Shikato Hakunsai’s father was alive, there was no such scene.” Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni also nodded slightly.

When Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was young, he also ran a kendo dojo and knew Shikatori Hakunsai's father, so he knew what the Shikatori dojo was like in the past.

Never before has the Shikatogi Dojo had so many outstanding disciples.

"Thinking about it carefully, it's really enviable. There are so many outstanding disciples." Kyoraku Shunsui counted on his fingers and found that, including those who graduated in the past, the number of disciples with the potential to become elite Shinigami was too many to count on two hands.

"Does Shikatori-kun have some secret to finding geniuses?" Ukitake Jushiro teased.

"There's no secret to it, it's all about fate," July shrugged.

On the stage, Iba Tetsuzaemon felt he was about to give up, so he kicked Komamura Sajin in the abdomen, forcing him to retreat.

"I'm going to show you my true skills!" Izaba Tetsuzaemon wiped his sweat, ran his left hand over his sword, and shouted.

"Avoid hidden reefs and treacherous shoals, become a master helmsman—Koi Sea Evening Fishing!"

Iba Tetsuzaemon's Zanpakuto has a wider tip and a raised spike on one side of the blade.

His Zanpakuto after its Shikai form resembles the Chinese character "卜".

Komamura Sajin didn't stand on ceremony and immediately released his Zanpakuto:

"Roar, divine retribution!"

Komamura Sajin's Zanpakuto remained unchanged, but a large hand wielding a giant blade appeared above his head.

This hand was enormous; the size of the fist alone was larger than Komamura Sajin, who was nearly three meters tall, and it was incredibly imposing.

Chapter 249 The Power of Divine Retribution

"The Shikai of the Left Formation is so cool no matter how many times I see it! Such a huge Shikai!" Shiba Isshin exclaimed.

Aside from Aizen Sousuke, he and Komamura Sajin were the first among the participants to learn Shikai.

They had all witnessed each other demonstrate their initial understanding.

Even though it wasn't the first time Shiba Isshin had witnessed Komamura Sajin unleash his Zanpakuto, he was still amazed.

This powerful Zanpakuto perfectly matches his aesthetic.

Even the archer Tetsuzaemon on the ring was startled by that enormous arm.

"That's truly astonishing!" Iba Tetsuoemon quickly closed in on Komamura Sajin. "However, the size of one's Shikai doesn't necessarily equate to strength!"

Komamura Sajin's Zanpakuto is very large, but such Zanpakuto often has a fatal problem - it is not flexible enough!

Once he gets close, he won't be able to use his skills effectively.

call out--

A whooshing sound rang out.

The shooting range had no choice but to stop.

Because the giant blade of divine punishment from the sky slammed down!

"So fast!" Iba Tetsuzaemon was shocked and quickly jumped to the side.

bang——

The giant blade of divine retribution slammed into the ground, carving a deep trench.

"'Divine Punishment' moves in sync with my actions," Komamura Sajin said calmly. "In other words, the faster I move, the faster 'Divine Punishment' moves."

"There's something my teacher said that I completely agree with—"

"Only by laying a solid foundation can we go further."

"I practice vibrating tens of thousands of times every day, rain or shine..."

"It's all so that my sword can be faster and stronger!"

As soon as Isaba Tetsuzaemon got up from the ground, he saw the giant blade of divine punishment sweeping past him.

The terrifying wind pressure generated by the Heavenly Punishment Blade whipped up the ground.

"This is terrifying!" Iba Tetsuzaemon didn't dare to take it head-on and immediately used Shunpo to leap into the air.

"Hah!!!" Komamura Sajin quickly flipped the blade and raised it sharply.

The giant arm in the air also raised its sword in sync, slashing at the airborne Ichiba Tetsuzaemon.

The wind pressure generated by the Heavenly Punishment Blade lifted the ground, creating a sandstorm in the air.

Divine Punishment: Dust Blade!

Komamura Sajin unleashed the Dust Blade through the 'Heavenly Punishment'.

At this moment, it felt as if a hurricane was raging across the arena, like a divine punishment.

The massive sandstorm left Ichiba Tetsuzaemon with no way to avoid it, and he was instantly affected by the blinding effect of the 'Dust Blade'.

Suddenly, everything went black before I could see nothing.

The pervasive spiritual pressure within the terrifying sandstorm also affected Iba Tetsuzaemon's spiritual senses, forcing him to rely solely on instinct to dodge the incoming giant blades and sand.

shhhhh--

Relying on his intuition, Ichiba Tetsuzaemon darted through the air.

His Zanpakuto, 'Koi Sea Evening Fishing', has the ability to enhance his intuition, allowing him to avoid deadly dangers.

However, there are limits to that!
