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

"Zhan Gui" and "Yan Gui" are two game rules that Kyoraku Shunsui used one after the other.

When under the 'New Demon' rule, the side with the higher position will have their moves become much more powerful.

When under the 'Ghostly Beauty' rule, you must first state the color name and hit the corresponding color part of the opponent's body for the attack to take effect; otherwise, the attack will be nullified.

Kyoraku Shunsui just used the rules of 'Enki' to shout 'Gray', thus nullifying July's attack.

He was wearing a pink haori shawl, with no gray area on his back.

July's attack landed on the pink haori shawl, but was naturally neutralized by the rules.

"Ah... How do you know about 'Zhan Gui' and 'Yan Gui', Shikatori-kun? When did I tell you about these things?" Kyoraku Shunsui looked troubled, unable to recall when he had revealed these abilities to Shikatori Nanatsuki.

"The band leader talks a lot when he's drunk," July chuckled.

He made up an excuse based on Kyoraku Shunsui's drunken behavior.

After getting drunk, Kyoraku Shunsui's desire to express himself increased dramatically.

“Drunkenness ruins everything!!!” Kyoraku Shunsui sighed without a second thought, “Sigh... I don’t even know how much I let slip, now we’ve lost our intelligence advantage!”

With the abilities of Katen Kyokotsu, and with an intelligence advantage, Kyoraku Shunsui was quite confident that he could defeat Shikaritori Nanatsuki.

However, Shikagiri Nanatsuki knew his own limitations, making it difficult for him to use the rules to gain an advantage.

"White!" Kyoraku Shunsui suddenly swung his sword.

Shikatori Nanatsuki also had no gray areas, and Kyoraku Shunsui changed the rules for 'Enki'.

Today, July wasn't wearing her dojo haori; she was only dressed in shihaka, with most of her body in black.

If you shout "black," it's the easiest way to hit the target.

However, under the rules of 'Glamorous Ghost', the area covered by the color will affect the power of the attack.

The larger the area covered by the color, the less damage it will suffer.

vice versa.

Therefore, if Kyoraku Shunsui wanted to maximize the power of his slashes, he had to aim for the hardest spot to hit, which was the color with the smallest coverage area.

The only white parts of the Shihaku are the belt and inner lining, and the area covered by white is very small.

If Kyoraku Shunsui can hit the white target, he can inflict massive damage on Shikamori Nanatsuki!

However, July was well aware of the rules and had taken precautions against them.

July retreated quickly, dodging the slash.

"That's exactly what I was waiting for—you to back down!" Kyoraku Shunsui suddenly swung his sword and stabbed at the shadow on the ground.

Based on the current lighting conditions, after July moves, the shadow shifts towards Kyoraku Shunsui's direction.

"Shadow Ghost, the side whose shadow is stepped on loses."

July smiled gently and plunged her knife into the shadow on the ground.

puff-

A black blade appeared in Kyoraku Shunsui's abdomen.

"This is..."

Kyoraku Shunsui was horrified; he had actually lost under the rules of the 'Shadow Demon'!

Under the rules of 'Shadow Ghost', as long as you step on the opponent's shadow, you can directly attack the opponent through the shadow.

“Captain Kyoraku seems to have forgotten that my Zanpakuto ability can control shadows,” July said.

Kyoraku Shunsui looked down and realized that he had not stepped on Shikamori Nanatsuki's shadow.

The shadow of Shikagoshi July has shifted automatically!

His own shadow, however, shifted to Shikamori Nanatsuki's feet.

"So that's how it is..." Kyoraku Shunsui gave a wry smile. "Shikatori-kun was deliberately waiting for me to use 'Shadow Ghost'!"

For rule-based capabilities, intelligence advantage is especially important.

Once the rules governing one's abilities become known to the other party, they may be able to find loopholes in those rules and use them to their advantage.

His Flower Heaven Kyokotsu can change the rules according to the game rules, which is already a very strong rule-based ability, but Shikagiri Nanatsuki still managed to seize the opportunity.

"Old man Shan, is that enough?"

Kyoraku Shunsui turned and shouted at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

"I'm already seriously injured. If I don't receive treatment soon, I'll die in the First Division!" Kyoraku Shunsui clutched his abdominal wound, his face contorted in pain, looking utterly miserable. "You wouldn't want your beloved disciple to die here, would you?"

July's eye twitched involuntarily; he had clearly not hit a vital spot.

Kyoraku Shunsui's injuries were not as serious as he claimed, and his fighting ability would not have decreased much.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's face darkened, his eyes seeming to spit fire.

How could he not see the extent of Kyoraku Shunsui's injuries?

Kyoraku Shunsui just doesn't want to put in the effort!

"Alright, let's leave it at that! Do any of you captains have any doubts about Shikagori Nanatsuki's strength?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni spoke first.

The fact that Shikamori Nanatsuki injured Kyoraku Shunsui so easily is enough to prove his strength.

Moreover, Shikatoki Nanatsu recently killed Hueco Mundo's king, Barragan, so the current test is just a formality.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni also didn't want to see this unruly disciple continue to embarrass himself here.

"I believe that Shikatori Nanatsuki is strong enough to serve as the captain of the 12th Division."

"Unohana Retsu said."

Shikamori Nanatsuki and Kyoraku Shunsui's fight didn't last long, but she could tell that Shikamori Nanatsuki's basic skills were vastly different from before.

Unohana Retsu previously thought that Shikari Nanatsuki's Shunpo and Hakuda were weaknesses.

Now, Shikago no Nanatsu's weaknesses have been addressed.

She is skilled in both slashing, punching, and walking ghosts, and also has a counterattack technique that is no weaker than hers.

"The ripe fruit looks so delicious..."

Unohana Retsu's smile is gentle, but if you look closely, you'll find that her pupils contain a terrifying heat.

“Shikatori-kun is very strong, enough to be the captain of the 12th Division.”

Kenpachi Kuruyashiki praised, "His speed is incredible, and he has a wealth of combat experience. He handled things exceptionally well."

"I think so too. Even if Shunsui and I use all our strength, we probably won't be able to defeat Shikatori-kun."

"Ukitake Jushiro sighed."

Shikagoshi July's speed advantage will make him invincible.

Kyoraku Shunsui was able to encounter Shikaritori Nanatsuki through the game rules.

Jushiro Ukitake felt that if he were to face Shikamori Nanatsuki, he would almost certainly be forced to play defensively, with a very low chance of winning.

"I also acknowledge Shikagiri Nanatsuki's strength. So..."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni paused for a moment, then said, "Shikari Shichizuki passed the captain test with a unanimous vote."

"Effective immediately, Shikatori Nanatsuki will serve as the captain of the 12th Division!"

Chojiro Sasaki placed a tray on the table in front of Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni got up, picked up the tray, and came to Shikatori Nanatsuki.

On the tray was a white fabric with a square symbol of the number "twelve" embroidered on it.

This is Hagoromo, the captain of the 12th Division.

"The heavy responsibility of the Twelfth Division is entrusted to you. I hope you will stay true to your original aspirations and make a name for yourself in the Twelfth Division."

"Please rest assured, Captain-Commander, I will fulfill my responsibilities as captain and contribute my strength to protecting Soul Society!"

In July, she picked up the captain's haori and draped it over her shoulders.

From this day forward, he will be the captain of the 12th Division, Shikatori Nanatsuki!

Chapter 276 Taking Over the Lab (Happy May Day!)

The 12th Division, formerly Kiryu Hikifune's laboratory.

"Captain, this is our lab's latest research project."

Kisuke Urahara's dark circles are getting deeper and deeper.

He had recently collected a large number of Hell Spirits from the Tsunayo family, which piqued his interest, and he had been studying Hell Spirits ever since.

July is now the captain of the 12th Division and is preparing to take over what Kiryu Hikifune left behind.

“These things…” July looked at the bottles and jars where Hellish Spirit Particles had condensed into symbols. “These are symbols of Demonic Arts, right?”

These symbols are common in spirit particle barriers and sealing spells, but they are composed of hellish spirit particles.

“We are trying to develop the use of Hell Spirits,” Kisuke Urahara explained. “The captain is a witness to the return of the executive captain, so he should know very well that as the executive captain of the Hell People, he can also use Kido.”

“That’s right. The executive captain used Kido when he fought against Captain-Commander Yamamoto.” July nodded.

“Back then, we collected the remaining spirit particles from the scene. The spirit particles left behind by the executive captain were hell spirit particles containing the aura of hell. Therefore, we believe that hell spirit particles also possess some characteristics of ordinary spirit particles,” Kisuke Urahara said. “So we are trying to use hell spirit particles to perform Kido techniques. If we succeed, Shinigami may be able to stay in hell for a longer period of time.”

The environment of Hell is very unfavorable to Death, and his abilities will be greatly suppressed.

Even the release of ghostly energy in hell is much weaker than the release of ghostly energy in the Three Realms.

If Death could utilize Hell Spiritual Particles, it would greatly aid in exploring Hell.

“This direction is worth exploring in depth.” July nodded, indicating that the project should be retained.

The Lord of Hell is eyeing the Three Realms with covetous intent; the Grim Reapers need to prepare early.

Kisuke Urahara and several researchers continued their journey into July.

"Captain, this is the project I'm in charge of."

A gaunt Grim Reaper stepped forward and eagerly introduced the project he was in charge of, "The captain should have eaten the food made by Captain Yizhou using the 'Temporary Soul' technology. The inspiration for my project comes from the 'Temporary Soul' technology."

"Captain Hikifune can inject spiritual pressure from her 'temporary soul' into food, but this is an ability she developed based on her Zanpakuto. Therefore, if we want to increase spiritual pressure in this way, we need to develop a new method."

The culture medium contained tiny clusters of spirit particles, which looked somewhat like a bowl of glowing blue caviar.

"Oh? Are these spirit particle clusters of yours made using 'temporary soul' technology?" July became interested.

Kiryuki's 'temporary soul' technique has endless uses, and it is foreseeable that there will be many more research directions to explore in the future.

She was promoted to Squad Zero because of her achievement in inventing the 'temporary soul' technology.

If these spirit particle clusters were created using 'temporary soul' technology, then this would undoubtedly be a groundbreaking invention!

"Uh... no, these spirit particle clusters were extracted from my spirit body!" The emaciated Grim Reaper rolled up his sleeves and showed the captain his arm covered in needle marks. "These spirit particle clusters can also increase spiritual pressure!"

"..." July glanced at Death's thin figure and frowned slightly. "No rejection reaction?"

This brutal method of extracting spiritual particles results in the extracted particles carrying the host's characteristics and being injected into other souls, which is no different from directly transferring spiritual pressure.

"The rejection reaction hasn't been resolved yet..." the gaunt Death said urgently, "Captain, give me some more time, a year... no, six months, I can definitely resolve it!"

"Let's cut this project." July confirmed that it was a project designed to scam funding, and moved on.

The emaciated Grim Reaper's face turned ashen.

Kiryuki Hikifune manages the laboratory rather loosely; apart from the projects she arranges herself, the researchers in the laboratory are free to do as they please.

Therefore, not all projects in the lab are useful.

We need to cut some useless projects now in July.

The group arrived at a culture chamber filled with nutrient solution.

There was a spirit in the cultivation chamber. July sensed it and realized that it was actually a corpse.

Such spirit corpses usually dissipate into spirit particles before long. The reason why this spirit corpse can exist for a long time is because the special nutrient solution in the cultivation chamber maintains the form of the spirit corpse.

"Captain, this is the project I'm in charge of."
