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

【Bloodlust Gear Lv10 (0/200)】

The Bloodstained Armor is still in its early stages and only covers one arm.

July is no ordinary Quincy. He possesses Shinigami abilities and is not lacking in offensive capabilities, so there is no need for him to rush to upgrade his Bloodlust Armor.

In July, she used the Spirit Pressure Blade to test the defensive power of the Bloodstained Armor.

Its defensive capabilities are significantly stronger than before.

"It should be about the same defensive power as the 'Round Gate' binding spell."

If you level up the Bloodlust Gear, its defensive capabilities can be further enhanced.

If I were to gain Hollow abilities in the future... and possess Hollow 'steel skin'...

"With both combined, my defense would be equivalent to having 'Void Severing' permanently active!"

July was very satisfied with the defense provided by the Bloodlust set.

The defensive capabilities provided by the Bloodlust Armor are well-balanced overall, and he now possesses this level of defensive power throughout his entire body.

Even the eyelids and eyeballs are the same, with the same spiritual particles filling the blood vessels, leaving no blind spots.

Shinigami (death gods) can actually use their spiritual pressure to defend against some attacks.

However, Quincy themselves also possess the natural defensive capabilities brought about by this spiritual pressure.

It is far inferior to the defensive power provided by the Bloodlust Armor, which is comparable to the defensive power of the Binding Spell.

Chapter 307 Present World

Boundary break.

Sōya Azashiro and Yōkazu Tosen followed the active Shinigami, hurrying through the Dankai.

They received an assessment task to graduate early.

"Yes, after this mission, we'll be the Grim Reapers!"

Mochi Cheng Shuang was also very excited; he was finally about to become the Grim Reaper.

"The teacher said, 'Don't talk about things that haven't happened yet.'"

Tosen Kaname wasn't really looking forward to graduating.

The thought of Souya Azashiro going to join the Kido Clan after graduation made me feel that Kagaku was getting further and further away from me.

However, like Souya Azashiro, Tosen Kaname did not submit his application for employment with the Kido Clan.

He chose to join a squad that didn't yet have a captain.

"If I could become the captain, wouldn't Ge Kuang look at me differently?"

Tosen thought to himself.

As a blind man, he felt somewhat ashamed in front of Ge Kuang, believing that Ge Kuang's rejection was because he was not good enough.

"I'm not taking this mission lightly!"

Mole City Shuang patted Lingzi's pocket, indicating that he was well prepared.

The Grim Reapers often need to go to the mortal world to perform their duties, and they are now accompanying the patrol team of Grim Reapers on their patrol to the mortal world.

Accompanying them were two Shinigami from the Ghost Path, who were on their way to conduct a routine inspection of the security measures at a Shinigami encampment in the mortal realm.

Souichi Shiro also submitted his application to join the Kido Clan, so these two Kido Clan Death Gods will serve as his Kido level examiners.

"The human world is just ahead, so don't fall behind. You're not official Shinigami, so you don't have Hell Butterflies to guide you, and you can't open the portal. If you get lost, you won't be able to return to Soul Society!"

Shiba Isshin, the 8th Seat of the 10th Division, slowed down and reminded Souya Azashiro and Tosen behind him to keep up with the group.

Although Shiba Isshin had only graduated a few years ago, his outstanding performance in the True Sword Trial allowed him to smoothly enter the 10th Division and quickly secure the position of the 8th Seat.

He was the leader of this patrol mission.

The Gotei 13 values ​​individual ability and does not have the principle of recommending the worthy regardless of personal relationships.

Therefore, Shiba Isshin is also the chief examiner for the graduation exams of Azashiro Sōya and Tōsen Kaname.

"Yes!"

Mole City Shuang also responded to Dong Xian.

Shiba Isshin opens the Transcendental Gate, through which the Shinigami (death gods) arrive in the human world.

"This is the world, isn't it? It's really not a good place... What a barren place!"

Zhicheng Shuang also frowned.

When he said it was barren, he meant that the concentration of spiritual particles here was low, far inferior to that of Seireitei.

“The concentration of spiritual energy here isn’t low,” Tosen Kaname said calmly. “Compared to places like Kusajiro Ward in Rukongai, this place is considered a high-spirited area.”

“Is that so…” Souya Azashiro scratched his face awkwardly. “Kakuya refused to take me to places like Kusajiro Ward. I’ve only ever been to Suzuka Ward, and the spiritual particle concentration there is about the same as here.”

"Ha, you wasted your general education courses?" Tosen said coldly. "Although Suzuka Ward is a relatively barren area in Soul Society, it can still be considered a spiritually rich area in terms of spiritual particle concentration!"

Suzuka Ward is the hometown of Tosen Kaname and Utamaro, and he is quite familiar with the situation in Suzuka Ward.

That's absolutely right.

Shiba Isshin smiled and said, "The real world is not like the Soul Society. Reincarnated spiritual lands are relatively rare. A reincarnated spiritual land like 'Naruki' is already considered quite good."

Their destination was the spiritually significant place of Mingmu in the mortal world.

This is a densely populated city.

With a large population and being a place of great spiritual energy, the probability of encountering something supernatural here is very high.

The Grim Reapers established a foothold in the mortal realm here so that they could remain here permanently.

Led by Isshin Shiba, the group quickly arrived at the Shinigami's stronghold.

The Naruki area is divided into three regions: the inner city, the outer city, and the countryside.

The Grim Reaper's stronghold is located on a mountain in the countryside.

"How come there's an abandoned shrine right below our base?"

Mochishiro Shuang also curiously looked at the shrine in the middle of the mountain. "This shrine is abandoned because a demonic ritual was set up to drive away humans."

The shrine was quite large, but it was deserted and looked abandoned.

"Not bad... I can also tell that there are ghost magic spells set up here."

The Grim Reapers of the Ghost Path nodded. "Inspecting and reinforcing the Ghost Path incantations here is one of our tasks this time."

"Such a large shrine is just left to fall into disrepair." Tosen Kaname frowned. "It's a bit of a waste."

He felt that Death could establish a foothold elsewhere.

“I know some of the inside story about this…” Shiba Isshin said with a smile, “It’s related to Soya’s older sister.”

This wasn't his first time here on a mission, so he was quite familiar with the area.

"It has something to do with my sister?" Shi Cheng Shuang asked, her face full of doubt.

"There are also some humans in the world with spiritual particle aptitude who can see spirits, but these people can only see spirits to a certain extent and cannot pose any threat to the Grim Reaper or Hollows."

Shiba Isshin recalled for a moment, then slowly said, "However..."

Eventually, some humans will learn of the Shinigami's work in purifying Hollows and guiding souls to safety.

Some people see us as gods who vanquish evil spirits.

Therefore, the worship of death inevitably arose in the world.

"Don't we have tools that can erase human memories? Why were we still discovered?"

Mole City Shuang asked, puzzled, "And... what does this have to do with my sister?"

"When Death is discovered by humans, he erases their memories, but..."

"There are always unexpected things," Shiba said helplessly.

There used to be only one small temple here, which seemed to be dedicated to a deity called 'Mikanzu'...

When Sister Cilantro passed by, she went in and ate the offerings offered by the locals...

This wouldn't have been a problem in itself, but she was caught eating the offerings by a young shrine maiden...

At first, the little witch thought it was a ghost stealing food and dared not speak out.

Senior Sister Cilantro assumed that the child was just a human without spiritual aptitude, so she did not erase her memories.

Who knew that when Senior Sister Cilantro was purifying the void in the city, that child saw her again.

Later... rumors spread that this place was the site where the deity 'Mikozumi' manifested.

Human dignitaries built even more magnificent shrines here, and more and more people came to visit...

The Grim Reapers, not wanting humans to discover their stronghold, used demonic arts to disperse them.

As a result, the shrine fell into disrepair.

"My sister..." Zhi Chengshuang sighed, "How could she even want to taste other people's offerings..."

The group walked up the mountain path.

There are many red torii gates along the mountain path.

These are all shrine buildings left behind by humans when they built the shrines.

On these torii gates, there are many demonic techniques that can only be seen by those with spiritual talent.

Ordinary people who approach this mountain will unconsciously drift away from it.

The Shinigami moved slowly because the Kido Shinigami needed to inspect the Kido techniques above the torii gate.

"Mr. Mole City, could you briefly explain what key points to pay attention to when examining these procedures..."

When the Shinigami of the Kido sect were inspecting the Kido techniques on the torii gate, they also put Soujiro Mokujo through a Kido test.

"The main area where the spell to dispel humans works is...we must first examine the core of the spell..."

Souya Mochijo's skill in the art of demonic arts was quite high, and he answered the examiner's questions fluently.

A moment later, the Grim Reapers of the Ghost Path nodded in satisfaction.

"There's nothing wrong with the spells here, let's head straight to the base."

Just as everyone was about to head up, they suddenly heard a call:

"So many gods!"

Shiro Sōya looked up at the steps and saw a girl dressed as a shrine maiden.

“Brother Yixin…” Zhao Cheng Shuang scratched his face, “Could it be… that little witch you were talking about?”

“That’s right…” Shiba Isshin said helplessly, “Our Kido techniques only work on humans who don’t have spiritual energy. This little shrine maiden still lives in the shrine, and because she can see spirits, she often comes here to find passing Shinigami and seek their help…”

The area near the stronghold on the mountain is isolated by a spiritual barrier, so even a little shrine maiden with spiritual talent cannot enter that area. She can only wait on the mountain path, hoping that death will pass by.

"Why not erase her memories?"

Dongxian wanted to ask the question.

“She had her memory erased once, but because she frequently came into contact with spirits, it returned. Seeing how actively she was helping us find the spirits that needed to be guided, we just let her be,” Shiba Isshin said.

Currently, the Grim Reaper's method of erasing memories involves sealing them. The little witch herself possesses spiritual qualities and frequently comes into contact with spirits and psychic beings, causing the seal on her memories to loosen.

The little witch rushed over and said, "My Lord God!"

I found a soul in the outer city whose chest chain was almost worn away! Please, divine beings, guide him to the world of the dead!

Ever since the little shrine maiden bumped into Kana Mochi, she has inexplicably developed a sense of mission. She is using her ability to see souls to help the 'god' find the souls that need to be guided.

"Is the chain on your chest almost worn away...? You're probably turning into nothingness by now, we'd better hurry." Shiba Isshin looked at his two junior brothers, "You haven't seen a Soul Burial in person yet, have you? I'll take you to see it!"

“I’ve never seen it before,” said Mochishiro Shuangye.

“This is exactly what we need to learn.” Tosen Kaname nodded.

Both Sōya Azashiro and Kaname Tōsen were born in the Soul Society. This mission was their first time in the human world, and they had never seen a Shinigami use Soul Burial to transfer a soul to the Soul Society.

“You take your fellow members of the Ghost Path Sect up the mountain, and I’ll go with the other two to deal with the matter of the souls.”
