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

"I'm not like you cowards. My next stop is the Great Hollow Forest!"

Grimmjow turned to leave.

He stayed to listen because he overheard these virtual beings discussing ways to continue evolving.

But what he heard was a ridiculous idea.

For the Great Hollow.

This world is a place only cowards go!

The concentration of spiritual particles in the spiritual lands of the present world is not low, but there are not many humans with spiritual particle aptitude. Compared to the vast number of humans, it is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Grimmjow must lead his companions with faith and witness the road ahead.

They wouldn't follow these defeated soldiers to play house in the real world.

The Great Void Forest is his place of evolution.

"You think you can just walk away after hearing our plan?"

Velen, the Toad, stood in Grimmjow's way.

"Heh, then you shall become the resources for my evolution!"

The Leopard King revealed its fangs.

...

In a secluded cave not far from Silent Dunes, several members of the Covert Force were watching the movements of the Hollows.

The Grim Reapers had long anticipated that Hueco Mundo would descend into chaos after Barragan's death.

Seireitei dispatched a covert task force to monitor the movements of Las Noches.

Even those Hollows who left Las Noches were being watched by the Secret Service Shinigami.

"What happened? Why did they start fighting?"

"That's just how it is with the Void. It's hard for them to suppress their killing instincts. Without a strong person like Barragan to suppress them, they would fight each other to the death."

"It's good that they're fighting. If the threat is gone, our mission will be complete."

"Indeed, I haven't had a vacation in ages. I've been stuck in this godforsaken place for a year now!"

"I heard from the captain that Captain Shikatori is bringing his disciples to Hueco Mundo for training, probably to target this group of Hollows."

"Is that so? I'm so envious. Captain Shikatori is so good to his disciples, personally bringing them to Hueco Mundo for training."

"I really want to take a vacation. I hope Captain Shikatori comes soon."

After the Grim Reapers chatted for a while, a portal to another dimension opened behind them.

Two figures dressed in black cloaks stepped out of the interdimensional gate.

Chapter 286 Nel's Training

The Grim Reapers all turned to look at the two cloaked figures behind them.

The person on the left lifted their cloak, revealing the face of Shikaguchi July.

"Excuse me, everyone."

Shikagori July smiled.

"Captain Shikatori!"

The Secret Service's Grim Reapers immediately stood at attention.

"No need to be so formal, we're all acquaintances."

July stopped. These people all looked familiar; they were all Yoruichi's direct subordinates.

"What's going on over there?"

July sensed the surroundings and discovered several violent spiritual pressure fluctuations emanating from the distant sand dunes, clearly indicating that a Hollow was engaged in battle.

"They just started fighting. Are you here to wipe out these Void creatures?"

"The Grim Reaper asked the Secret Service."

"Yes, I brought my disciple here for some training."

July nodded gently.

The Hidden Mobile Squad members looked at the people around Shichitori Nanatsuki.

Like Shikagori Nanatsuki, that person was wearing a specially made invisibility cloak, the same style as those worn by the Onmitsuki.

Her face was hidden under the hood, with only her smooth chin and pink lips showing.

July brought Nil.

Nel is a Hollow, so the Shinigami's training methods cannot be directly applied to her.

Therefore, after hearing from Yoruichi that some of the Hollows had left Las Noches, July decided to bring Nel to Hueco Mundo for some training.

Nel's cloak concealed her spiritual pressure fluctuations, and the Onmitsuki Shinigami failed to discover her identity.

"Yoruichi asked me to tell you that your surveillance mission for this period is complete, and you can go back to report." July paused and said, "Oh, and I think you get a three-month leave!"

"Great, we can switch shifts now!"

"Finally I can rest!"

The Grim Reapers cheered when they heard that they were about to have a vacation.

"Captain Shikatori, I'll leave this to you."

"No problem, leave it to me."

No one asked the stupid question of whether Shikagiri Nanatsuki could handle these Hollows; such a stupid person could never become Yoruichi Shihouin's confidant.

"The fighting over there is almost over, let's go, Nel." July sensed that the battle on the dunes was nearing its end.

"Mmm!" Nel was also looking forward to actual combat. Since she learned swordsmanship, she had not fought against a Hollow and did not have a clear concept of her own progress.

The two walked toward the silent sand dunes.

...

Silent sand dunes.

The giant serpent Hollow lashed out with its long tail, lunging at Grimmjow.

Its tail, over ten meters long, was quite terrifying. It was confident that with a single strike, it could crush this damned leopard.

Grimmjow dodged the long tail of the giant serpent Hollow with a single leap.

The giant serpent Hollow turned to bite, but Grimmjow stomped his leopard paw in mid-air, flipped over, and dodged the serpent's bite.

The leopard paws landed on the head of the giant serpent, Da Xu, and leaped up again, dodging the poisonous tail needles that attacked from the side.

"Are you just a mouse that can only run away?!"

The giant serpent roared in fury.

"Heh, then what are you, being toyed with by a 'rat'?" Grimmjow gave it a cold look before vanishing in an instant.

The next moment, the white leopard appeared on the back of a Hollow crocodile.

The fangs instantly tore apart the crocodile Hollow's hard, bony scales.

"Ow!!!"

The crocodile screamed and thrashed violently, trying to shake off the leopard behind it.

sizzle-

Grimmjow ripped open the back of the Crocodile Hollow, and blood splattered down like rain.

thump—

Grimmjow disappeared, leaving the back of the Crocodile Menos Grande via the Resonance.

The next instant, several Cero flashes blasted towards the Crocodile Hollow.

"boom--!"

The Crocodile Hollow was blasted into pieces by his companions' Cero.

A white leopard stood atop the head of a giant Hollow, slowly chewing its food.

The Hollows felt a chill run down their spines when they saw the leopard's cold eyes; those were the eyes of someone looking at prey.

Grimmjow completely disregarded them!

"Damn rats!"

The giant serpent Hollow opened its mouth and quickly condensed a Cero.

Grimmjow disappeared again, and his Cero landed on the Menos Grande.

"Ow!!!"

The giant Hollow let out a mournful cry before being blasted into pieces by the Cero.

Grimmjow was able to handle the attack from more than ten Hollows with ease.

The five Hollows he had previously discussed with were the main force of the Hollows and were quite powerful.

But none of them are as fast as Grimmjow.

With his agile physique, Grimmjow dodged the attacks of the Hollows while simultaneously attacking the weaker ones.

The number of living Hollows is rapidly decreasing.

Soon only the five strongest Hollows remained.

"Your turn, you small fry."

The leopard's mouth curled up slightly, revealing its fangs.

...

When July and Nel arrived at Silent Dunes, they only saw a leopard gnawing on the corpse of a Hollow.

"Looks familiar...could it be...?"

July raised an eyebrow and sized up the white leopard.

The leopard's void is located on its back. It has no fur and its entire body is a white bony structure, but these bony structures also have a muscular aesthetic.

The white leopard noticed their arrival and stopped eating.

"grim Reaper..."

Grimmjow saw the hilts of the swords at their waists, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

"Are they here to hunt me...? I don't think I've ever tasted death before..."

Grimmjow grinned, and green blood trickled down the edge of his leopard's mouth.

Upon hearing that electronic-reverberated voice in July, she became even more certain of her guess.

"Do you have a name, Mr. Leopard?"

July spoke gently.

“Name? Do you think I’m one of those mindless, inferior beings?!” Grimmjow frowned, thinking he was being looked down upon. “My name is Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez!”

"Grimmjow..."

July realized that the leopard was indeed the sixth of the Ten Espada.

"How dare you disturb my meal..." Grimmjow bared his fangs, "Then come and taste my power!"

He couldn't see through the spiritual pressure fluctuations of the two Death Gods, but he was unwilling to give up these blood offerings and leave this place.

Although he had made up his mind to go to the Great Hollow Forest to hunt Hollows and continue his evolution.

But he also knew that the Forest of Hollows was garrisoned by the army of the Grim Reapers, and there were probably not many Hollows left in the outer areas. If he wanted to hunt Hollows, he would have to go deep into the Forest of Hollows.

The depths of the Great Void Forest are extremely dangerous. The more Voids he devours, the greater his chance of surviving in the depths of the Great Void Forest.

"Your fighting spirit is high." July's hand gripped the hilt of her sword. "But it's not me who will fight you."
