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

His dynamic vision couldn't keep up with the speed of 'Riding the Thunder'.

However, the "Thunder Flight" technique also causes significant damage to spirits.

This move has a very high threshold. If he weren't already a captain-level powerhouse with a very strong spiritual body, he would have exploded and died the moment he ignited the lightning within his body.

"It seems I can flash more than three times in a row." July's heart stirred.

A faint glow emanated from his body, repairing the damage within.

He possesses the attributes of self-healing and innate battle mania, making him far more tolerant of injuries than the average Grim Reaper.

"Four or five flashes should be fine, but more than that would result in serious injury," July estimated in her mind.

Looking back, the three electric grids left along the path had not yet dissipated.

These three electric grids were the lightning that splashed out when he ignited the thunder within his body.

Each electric grid is about ten meters in diameter, and its power is similar to that of a mid-sequence breakthrough. It is an offensive method that comes with the 'Thunder Flying Crossing' technique when moving at high speed.

Having gained a general understanding of the power and side effects of 'Thunder Flight' in July, he returned to the ground.

"You can't use that move near your teammates!"

Ba Yunzhai shouted.

Her ears were ringing from the sudden thunder, and she unconsciously spoke much louder.

In July, he raised his hand to cover Ba Yunzhai's ears, and a faint light of echo appeared in his hand.

"Your ears are healed," Ba Yunzhai asked hurriedly. "Tell me about this move quickly, what's it called?"

This was the first time that Ba Yunzhai had ever seen such a fast move; the speed was almost like teleportation.

She hadn't even caught July's rapid path.

When she saw a bolt of lightning suddenly appear in the sky, July had already arrived on the other side.

"This move is called 'Riding the Thunder to Fly Across,' and its key point is to ignite the thunder power introduced into the body and use the explosive force brought by the thunder to ride the thunder," July explained.

"Detonate the lightning power introduced into the body?" Ba Yunzhai frowned. "Wouldn't that put a huge burden on the spirit body?"

She was knowledgeable and experienced, and quickly realized the danger involved.

“That’s true, so this move can’t be used multiple times in a row. However, I have a way to heal myself, so this move suits me well.” July nodded.

'Riding the Thunder' is a very practical move, and it suits him very well.

Extreme speed is not just about being fast.

When combined with other sword techniques and moves, his extreme speed can make his other sword techniques even more powerful.

"Indeed, your skill is superb. You can heal yourself from a minor injury. As long as the technique suits you, that's fine," Ba Yunzhai exclaimed. "Amazing! Your new techniques are truly endless!"

Developing useful new moves is not a simple task, and Baiyunzhai was quite shocked by the speed at which July developed new moves.

After testing the new moves in July, I went to prepare the ingredients.

Yoruichi was promoted to captain, so naturally he wanted to throw a celebration banquet.

Team building activities help maintain the atmosphere of the temple and the camaraderie among the disciples.

Chapter 282 Amendment Prohibition

Several months later, the Technology Development Bureau.

"Captain Shikatori, has my son's spirit body reached a usable level?"

Kuchiki Ginryo observed the spirit skeleton in the cultivation chamber that looked exactly like Kuchiki Souchun.

They are indistinguishable in appearance, and their spiritual pressure fluctuations are extremely similar, except that their spiritual pressure is very weak, even weaker than that of an ordinary Shinigami.

"This spirit remains only have relatively low spiritual pressure, but its internal organs are fully developed and can be used to replace Cang Chun's organs," July said.

Kuchiki Ginryo successfully persuaded Chamber 46 to revise the ban on spirit corpse technology.

The Technology Development Bureau can now create spirit remains for the treatment of physical disabilities.

However, the nobles remained wary of the spirit skeleton technology, and the spirit skeletons created had to be destroyed after the treatment was completed.

"Then I'll have to trouble Captain Shikatori." Kuchiki Ginrei nodded gently.

Today, July called over Xiumu Yinling to inform him that the surgery could be performed today.

The part that Kuchiki Sojun needs to transplant is not the core of spiritual pressure, so there is no need to consider whether it can bear the spiritual pressure of the original body. Therefore, the cultivation of Kuchiki Sojun's spiritual body will not take a long time.

"Ajin, go and inform the Fourth Division to help bring Cang Chun over."

"Yes!"

During the cultivation of the spirit body, Kuchiki Sojun had been recuperating in the Fourth Division. Akin immediately went to inform the Fourth Division to send him over.

A moment later, the Fourth Division brought Kuchiki Sōjun over.

The people from the Fourth Division were all acquaintances of July—Retsu Unohana, Isane Kotetsu, and Rie Hoshino.

"Teacher, we've brought Vice Captain Kuchiki with us."

Kotetsu Isane pushed the wheelchair over.

Retsu Unohana greatly admires Isane Kotetsu and often brings her along on various occasions.

Hoshino Rie is now the head of the medical team and also Unohana Retsu's right-hand woman.

Kuchiki Sojun looked to be in better condition than before. After recuperating in the medical team for a period of time, his complexion had regained some color.

However, his organs have suffered irreversible damage, and he is currently only being kept alive by a large amount of medication.

"Captain Shikatori, thank you for your help, cough cough—" Kuchiki Sōjun only managed to utter one sentence before coughing up a pool of blood.

"Don't worry, this surgery isn't difficult. You just need to sleep, and your injuries will heal." July said with a smile. "Ajin, take Vice Captain Kuchiki to the medical room first."

After spending some time together, July realized that compared to Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Akin was a more suitable person to be a deputy.

Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi are both people who have a lot of their own ideas.

Therefore, in July, they were put in charge of different departments, each leading a research and development team, while Ajin became his research assistant.

"Captain Unohana, you've arrived too," July greeted.

“This is the first case of soul transplantation since the revised ban took effect, and I wanted to come and witness it,” Unohana said with a smile.

"With Captain Unohana in charge, this transplant surgery is sure to be a success," July nodded.

"Don't worry about me, I just came to take a look." Unohana gently shook her head, indicating that she would not participate in the surgery.

"Then please follow me. Ah Jin should have already prepared the surgical environment."

After exchanging pleasantries, July led the group to the medical room.

Ajin had already set up the surgical environment, with Kuchiki Sojun and Linghai lying on two separate operating tables.

Both Kuchiki Sojun and Linghai had tubes inserted into their bodies, through which liquid containing a high concentration of spiritual particles flowed into their bodies.

July, Yuu, and Rii all put on surgical gloves.

The surgery was performed by July herself, but such surgeries will become more common in the future, and July will no longer perform them herself.

The transplant surgery will still be performed by the Fourth Division, with the Technology Development Bureau only responsible for providing the transplanted organs.

Unohana brought Kotetsu Isane and Hoshino Rie along so that they could gain some experience in transplanting organs from spirit remains.

"Captain, the anesthesia has taken effect. We have three hours for the surgery," Ajin reminded him.

"Ajin, Liyi, you two take out the liver from the spirit body first." July didn't take the scalpel that Yongyin handed over. "Yongyin, you do the abdominal surgery."

"Me...can I do it?" Kotetsu Isane asked, somewhat flustered.

It was actually her first time participating in a major surgery, and she was a little nervous.

“I’ll keep an eye on it for you,” July said with a smile.

Kotetsu Isane arrived at the operating table, ready to open her abdomen.

"Once you find the right spot, don't hesitate," July reminded Yuune when she saw that she was a little hesitant.

"Yes!" Kotetsu Isane nodded vigorously, silently encouraging himself.

After finding the right spot, Kotetsu Isane quickly and successfully opened Kuchiki Sōjun's abdominal cavity.

Kuchiki Sojun's lungs did not continue to deteriorate, but their function weakened considerably.

But the liver is different. Some of the medications he's been taking during this period have put a strain on his liver, causing his already fragile liver to deteriorate further.

"Without the transplant, Kuchiki Sojun would probably only live for another five or six years at most."

Unohana Retsu observed the condition of Kuchiki Sojun's internal organs and quickly made a judgment in her mind.

In July, I turned around and checked on Akin and Hoshino Rie's progress.

The treatment of the spirit remains was led by Hoshino Rie, with Akin as her assistant.

This wasn't Hoshino Rie's first transplant surgery. Before this, she and her teacher performed a spiritual pressure core transplant surgery on Saito Shizuku.

However, the surgery was performed in secret, and even Retsu Unohana was unaware of it.

Hoshino Rie skillfully cut open the abdomen of the spirit body, exposing its internal organs.

As the scalpel turned, Hoshino Rie quickly removed the liver from the corpse.

"Teacher, the liver of the remains has been removed."

"Yongyin, remove the liver from the patient."

Kotetsu Isane nodded, her tense mood gradually calming down. Without hesitation, she quickly removed Kuchiki Sōjun's liver with her knife.

“Well done.” July nodded gently. “Leave the rest to me.”

Ajin brought over the liver of the spirit corpse.

"The key to this surgery is to adjust the spiritual pressure fluctuations when activating the liver using the Returning Dao technique. However, the spiritual pressure fluctuations of the spirit remains are extremely similar to those of the original body, so this process is not complicated," July explained to her two disciples as she performed the procedure.

Kotetsu Isane and Hoshino Rie were both carefully observing and sensing their teacher's reply.

The liver transplant surgery was a simple procedure for July, and he quickly used the Return Path to connect the liver of the spirit body to the spirit body of Kuchiki Sojun.

"The lung transplant is almost done; you can handle the rest from here on out," July said.

"Yes!"

A moment later, Kotetsu Isane and Hoshino Rie worked together to transplant the Reikai's lungs into Kuchiki Sojun.

Kuchiki Sojun's injuries weren't limited to his lungs and liver; his arm was also affected by Barragan's 'Death Sigh'.

Subsequently, they transplanted the spirit's arm onto Kuchiki Sojun.

After the surgery, Akin administered an antidote to Kuchiki Sojun to wake him up.

"Phew—nothing went wrong...I was so nervous!"

Kotetsu Isane patted his chest.

"To be able to perform such a surgery right after graduation, Yongyin is much more capable than me!"

Hoshino Rie praised.

“You all did a great job.” July smiled and nodded.

"Hehe, it's all thanks to the teacher's excellent teaching!"

In his dazed state, Kuchiki Sojun was jolted awake when he heard that the surgery had been performed by a graduate.

"I've recovered?" Kuchiki Sōjun quickly checked his body and found that his internal sensations were completely different from before.

"The surgery is over. You can stand up and try to feel what's going on inside your body," July said with a smile.

Kuchiki Sojun tried to stand up. Although the effects of the anesthesia had not completely worn off and he was still a little drowsy, the feeling that he was about to die at any moment had not disappeared.

Kuchiki Sojun looked down at his hands.

This hand had previously come into contact with Barragan's 'Death Sigh' and was missing a section, but it has now been restored.

“The spirit skeleton’s hand is newly cultivated, and it’s still somewhat different from your original hand. After you go back, you’ll need to train it to restore it to its original state,” July said.

Kuchiki Sojun will need to undergo rehabilitation for some time before he can regain his strength.
