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

In July, Yoruichi Shihouin was communicating with Shihouin, but Kiryu Hikifune's laboratory could overhear messages from the communication device, so the two did not discuss it in depth.

After recounting what she had seen and heard that evening, Yoruichi Shihouin hung up the communication device.

"Sousuke, our plan has succeeded. They now believe that it was Tsunayoshi Tokinada who did it."

July chuckled, “The runaway servant, the Grim Reaper who broke into the mansion with ‘Tsunayoshi Tokinada’, and the surrounding residents are all our witnesses.”

There are many eyewitnesses who saw the Tsunayoshiro Beach and the Gates of Hell.

He and Aizen Sousuke released many servants, not only because those servants were not members of the Tsunayashiro family, but also because they wanted them to act as witnesses to the "Tsunayashiro Toki Beach".

With multiple eyewitnesses as witnesses, no one will doubt the authenticity of Tsunayoshi Tokinada.

“The teacher’s plan is flawless.” Aizen Sousuke nodded and said, “The witnesses saw Tsunayoshiro Tokinada using the Tsunayoshiro family’s ancestral Zanpakuto, ‘Enra Kyōden,’ so the 13th Division will not suspect that this Tsunayoshiro Tokinada is fake.”

"Tonight's haul was quite good..."

In July, the things that had been moved from the attic were taken out.

The largest quantity was books.

The library of the Tsunayo family was also in that pavilion where the fragments of the Spirit King and the Yanluo Mirror were kept.

In July, they also took away these books.

Secondly, there are some ancient treasures and divinely bestowed weapons.

Ancient treasures are not very useful to July, but they can be sold to exchange for research resources.

However, the Tsunayo family has just encountered trouble, so it's not easy to sell these things for the time being.

Once things calm down, Yoruichi can help handle it.

Aizen Sousuke was in charge of organizing the books, while Shichigetsu was responsible for selecting the divinely bestowed weapons.

"First, categorize these divinely bestowed weapons and equipment, and pick out the useful ones."

The divinely bestowed weapons stored in the treasure house are all collectibles and may not necessarily be useful.

Heavenly Armor refers to props and weapons with special functions.

Judging by appearance alone, it is difficult to tell what these things are used for. Fortunately, these divinely bestowed weapons stored in the pavilion all have corresponding descriptions.

"Fancy..."

July understood why these divinely bestowed weapons were with Gu Zhen.

Many of them fall into the category of ornamental items.

For example, the everlasting Hollow Flower is something made from rare plant-type Hollows.

The core of the Flower of Illusion is an illusory mask, and its leaves are also made of bone.

"The Soul Chain... can reconnect a soul with a physical body?" July became interested. "Wouldn't that mean it's possible to bring the dead back to life?"

In July, I found an interesting piece of divinely bestowed equipment.

The human body is a flesh and blood body composed of a substance called 'vessel'.

Between the soul and the physical body, there is a chain called the 'Lock of Cause and Effect'.

The separation of the soul from the physical body is not the same as death.

If the 'causal lock' connecting the physical body is not broken, one can receive the Grim Reaper's treatment and be successfully resurrected upon returning to the body.

However, if the 'causal lock' connecting the physical body is completely broken, the soul cannot be resurrected even if it returns to the physical body.

The 'Soul Chain' divinely bestowed weapon discovered in July can be used to repair the 'Lock of Cause and Effect', allowing the soul to reconnect with the vessel's body.

This means that as long as the physical body of the vessel is not damaged, the 'Soul Chain' can bring humans back to life!

"It might come in handy..." July put away the divinely bestowed weapon.

Continue filtering for other divinely bestowed weapons.

"The Soul-Shaking Gloves...can forcibly extract the soul from the body..."

"The Spirit-Protecting Jade Pendant... can protect the wearer's spirit... is it actually just a built-in 'Binding Spell No. 39 - Round Gate Fan'? If it's made exquisitely and beautifully, it becomes a collectible?"

"A flesh-and-blood doll... can give a Grim Reaper a physical body?"

The function of a flesh doll is similar to that of a prosthetic body, but prosthetic bodies have not yet been invented in this era.

The flesh doll is a white doll with no facial features and no other distinguishing characteristics.

In July, I decided to try out the effects of the flesh doll.

The flesh doll is in an inactive state and can only be used in the human world; it cannot be used in Soul Society.

A little while later, July arrived in the real world with the flesh doll.

He entered the body of the flesh doll, and the flesh doll quickly began to transform.

The surface of the flesh doll's body was writhing, somewhat like a melting clay doll.

Before long, the flesh doll transformed into the appearance of Shikamori Nanatsuki.

"Even the clothes worn by the spirits have materialized..."

July realized that this fleshy doll was not simple.

It can change shape according to the state of the spirit, and can even simulate hairstyle and clothes.

In July, I scraped my hand and a white substance was revealed inside.

"It's still different from a real body... in this respect, it's not as good as a gikai."

The 'artificial bodies' developed by the Grim Reapers in the future will be no different from human flesh and blood.

Shiba Isshin is even able to marry and have children with humans through the 'artifacts' created by Uramoto Kisuke.

The replica of the flesh doll is not this high-quality.

Its essence has not changed; once cut open, it is not flesh and blood, but merely a change in appearance.

"The advantage of a flesh doll is that anyone can use it, while a prosthetic body requires personal customization."

In July, the flesh doll was put away. Before the artificial body was developed, the flesh doll was a useful tool.

I returned to the lab in July to continue taking stock of other things.

He soon spotted something interesting.

"Sousuke, this item matches your 'Flowing Water Zanpakuto' perfectly!"

In July, she tossed over a string of Buddhist prayer beads.

Aizen Sousuke caught the Buddhist prayer beads and noticed traces of Kido magic within them.

“There are incantations for creating and controlling water on it,” July said.

This ability is rather useless to July, but it is somewhat useful to Aizen Sousuke, who wants to disguise himself as a "flowing water type Zanpakuto," as he can better mimic the abilities of flowing water type Zanpakuto.

"Controlling and producing water...it really is very useful to me."

Aizen Sousuke thanked him and put on the bracelet.

I tested the effect, and its power is roughly equivalent to that of the 30-40 series of Oni-do.

Furthermore, it can unleash power comparable to that of a chanted demonic path without needing to chant.

Aizen Sousuke was very satisfied with the effect of the bracelet. With this bracelet, it would be easier to imitate the abilities of the Flowing Water Zanpakuto.

"Virtual poison..."

In July, he discovered something he was more familiar with.

He found a vial of Hollow Poison and glanced at the label. It was a vial of Hollow Poison from a Vastod-class Hollow.

Hollows that release toxins are relatively rare, and this is the toxin of a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow, making it a precious item.

"It would be best to get rid of the Tsunayoshiro family sooner rather than later..."

Even with July's current strength, she cannot suppress the Hollow Poison of the Vasto Lorde class for too long.

If the deputy captain-level head of the Gangya family were to bring the 'Yanluo Mirror Manual' and use these illusory poisons to ambush him, it might cause him considerable trouble.

However, the Tsunayoshiro clan no longer has this opportunity.

Even on his deathbed, the head of the Tsunayo family never imagined that someone could use Tsunayo Tokina's identity to steal the 'Elegant Mirror Manual'.

The rest of the collection were for display, and they were set aside in July.

Next, July looked towards the biggest takeaway from this trip—

Some fragments of the Spirit King were contained in bottles and jars.

In July, after carefully examining the fragments, she discovered that they were all cut from the same leg.

And the corresponding area should be the calf.

The kneecap and skin are relatively intact, the calf muscles are a single piece, but the calf bone has been cut into many pieces.

Each leg bone is about one centimeter long.

In July, the lid was opened and the fragments inside were removed.

At that moment, something unusual happened in his shadow.

Several black tentacles emerged from the shadow, enveloping the shadow of the bone.

A few breaths later, the strange phenomenon in the shadow disappeared without a trace, and the few black tentacles that had just appeared seemed to be just an illusion.

July glanced at Aizen Sousuke, who was arranging books in front of the bookshelf. He was still organizing the books and did not notice the change in his shadow.

The Spirit King's Broken Bones in his hand still cast a shadow, but something within that shadow had been absorbed by him, turning it into an ordinary shadow produced by a light source.

The shadow of the Spirit King also contains mystical elements, and what July absorbed was a portion of the 'Shadow of the Spirit King'.

There weren't many mystical traces contained in the broken bones, so July continued to extract the other broken bones and absorb all the 'Shadow of the Spirit King' within them.

Even a small bone fragment adds up to a leg bone that is over ten centimeters long.

After absorbing this portion of the 'Spirit King's Shadow,' his control over shadows improved further.

The most direct manifestation of this is that his Bankai ability has become slightly stronger.

He could previously summon two shadows with 50% of his original strength.

After absorbing these 'Shadows of the Spirit King' in July, the shadows he summoned increased in strength to 60% of his original body!

"A significant improvement..."

July thought to herself.

The two shadows, each at 60% of their original strength, were of great help in the battle.

His shadow won't get hurt.

The only way for an enemy to destroy his shadow is with a pure spiritual pressure attack.

However, the loss of the shadow is merely a loss of spiritual pressure for him; its destruction will not harm his main body.

"There are still two large pieces that haven't been absorbed yet!"

July looked at the two largest fragments of the Spirit King: the knee and the calf muscle.

As he removed his knee and calf muscles from the jar, his shadow stirred again.

Several black tentacles emerged from the shadows, enveloping the shadows of the knees and calf muscles.

In July, I suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of spiritual fulfillment.

This feeling of fullness doesn't come from the stomach, but from deep within the spirit.

His shadow abilities were greatly enhanced.

In July, she put the Spirit King fragments back into the jar and went to the training room next to the laboratory.

"The interpretation of swastika is that all aspects are shadows."

July quickly completed his Bankai, but the Shadow Space did not unfold; instead, it remained hidden within his shadow.

Then, his shadow began to grow and split rapidly.

From a distance, it looks like a dark crack in the ground that is splattering oil.

Soon, three dark shadows grew out of the shadows on the ground.
