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

The most eye-catching man, wearing a pointed conical hat and with his face painted white, said:

"What an astonishing statement! Even Death has become your prey!"

Quan Ya sensed the strange person and discovered that it was actually a human. The surprise on her face quickly subsided.

Since the strange figure on the courtyard wall wasn't the Grim Reaper, she didn't feel there was anything to be afraid of.

"A human who knows about the Grim Reaper?" Izumi grinned. "Looks even more delicious than that little shrine maiden..."

She believed that these people were humans with some spiritual abilities who had seen the Grim Reaper.

"As expected, Nexus's image is much more eye-catching; we've been completely ignored."

Kisuke Urahara took out the Soul-Soul Pill and swallowed it, immediately separating himself from the Gikai.

He wanted to capture the Soul Hunter before Mayuri Kurotsuchi could.

Although Mayuri Kurotsuchi already has a Soul Hunter captive, Kisuke Urahara doesn't think he won't interfere again.

"You're Death?!"

Izumi looked at Kisuke Urahara in disbelief, who was in a death-like state.

She had never seen a Grim Reaper use a cyborg before, and had no idea that a Grim Reaper was hidden inside a body that felt no different from a human's.

"This is a trap!"

Kariya's face darkened. It was no coincidence that the Grim Reaper had come knocking at this time; it must be because the confectionery shop clerk had been exposed.

A loud bang came from the well, and Quanya pumped the water out of the well, and a water dragon rose from the ground.

"Such water control ability is no less than some water-type Zanpakuto!" Kisuke Urahara drew his Zanpakuto. "Cry out, Benihime."

The Zanpakuto thrust forward, and a layer of red light spread outwards.

The water dragon controlled by Izumiya stopped immediately after it collided with the red halo.

"What kind of ability is this?!" Izumi's smooth forehead was covered in sweat as she struggled to control the water dragon, trying to push it forward.

However, a strange resistance was felt, and the water dragon seemed to be perfectly neutralized by the red halo.

"This ability is really annoying..." Mayu Kurotsuchi took out the Gikonmaru and swallowed it, separating it from his Gikai. "Analyzing the spiritual pressure structure of the opponent's moves, I can use moves with the same spiritual pressure structure to counteract the enemy's moves..."

"A move that negates an attack..." When Izumi saw that the strange man had also turned into a death god, she lost all hope and abandoned Kariyagami, jumping towards the well.

at the same time.

Kariya raised his hand, and the weapon on his hand unleashed a hurricane-like wind blade, slashing rapidly towards Urahara Kisuke.

"Interpreting my information like this is aiding the enemy!" Kisuke Urahara swung his sword, and a crescent-shaped red blade swiftly slashed at the hurricane-force wind blade in the air.

The spiritual particles of the hurricane wind blades moved violently and at too high a speed for Kisuke Urahara to analyze in a short time.

"Sorry, I'll take this target!" Mayuri Kurotsuchi used Shunpo to appear behind Izumi and slapped down with his palm.

In his palm, a ball of spiritual pressure, like an air cannon, pressed down on Izumi's back and exploded instantly.

boom--

The spiritual pressure instantly blasted Izumi into nothingness.

"Oh?"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi raised an eyebrow; the technique he used shouldn't have been that powerful.

Quanya's body shattered into pieces, yet there was no bloodshed whatsoever; her body turned into puddles of water.

"I see, so your body fused with that puppet?" Mayuri Kurotsuchi's spirits lifted. "This is quite a unique case among Soul Hunters!"

Mayuri sent Akin back with a Soul Hunter document, which provided him with more relevant information.

Soul Hunters separate a portion of their soul and fuse it with an object to gain special abilities.

These artifacts, fused with souls, will also possess consciousness, just like Zanpakuto.

The Soul Hunters call these objects puppets.

The water droplets that the spring split apart flew rapidly toward the well opening.

Countless water droplets converged into a stream and flowed into the well.

"Once I'm in the water, nothing can stop me!!!"

Even Death won't do it!

however--

Quan Ya realized that she couldn't get to the bottom of the well.

A red light barrier had appeared in the well at some unknown time, and this barrier instantly shattered her hopes of escaping.

"Naive!" Mayuri Kurotsuchi grinned. "How could the cunning and despicable Vice-Captain Urahara not have considered that you might escape through the well?"

Kisuke Urahara had already sealed off their well.

Sealing the wellhead would not only block their escape route but also prevent Quanya from continuing to draw water from the well, thus weakening the environmental amplification effect on her.

"Nessan's praise is rather jarring!"

Kisuke Urahara is dodging the wind blades that Kariyagami keeps slashing at him.

Breaking through the red barrier would take some time, so Quan Ya had no choice but to give up.

The water flowed into several streams, dispersing in all directions.

These water streams are formed from Izumi's body; if a part of it is missing, he will be missing limbs when he transforms back into human form.

However, Izumi's ability grants her exceptional survivability; as long as she can replenish water and spiritual pressure, she can restore her damaged body.

The next moment, several streams of water froze in mid-air.

Quan Ya discovered that the water stream her body had transformed into was being imprisoned by an invisible force.

Even nearly transparent water still casts a shadow.

The water flow was bound by the shadow.

"What's this?!"

A wave of despair washed over Quan Ya.

“Not many people can break free from the captain’s shadow, and you are clearly not one of them.” Mayuri Kurotsuchi smiled and took out a jar from her sleeve, filling it with water.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi looked at the sloshing water in the jar and shook her head: "Don't waste your energy. The container I use to hold the materials isn't so easy to break free from."

Soon, the swaying water returned to calm.

The bottle contained a potent anesthetic, which even Izumi, who had transformed into a stream of water, could not resist when applied directly to the spirit particles.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi glanced at the situation in the courtyard. The other Soul Hunter was quite powerful, and Kisuke Urahara wouldn't be able to defeat him in a short time.

He brought the jar to July.

"Captain, this Soul Hunter's ability is very interesting. She can actually merge with water, which has given me a lot of inspiration. Why don't we send her to my lab for research?"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi found Izumi Saya's ability to turn into water very interesting and wanted to study the mystery behind it.

"You should focus on repairing 'Sacred Refinement' first," July said, shaking her head slightly. "We'll leave Soul Hunter in the public lab. You can hand it over to me whenever you've finished repairing 'Sacred Refinement'."

The Technology Development Bureau's public laboratory has rooms that can be used as temporary prisons.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's laboratory already has two Soul Hunter captives. In order to avoid delaying the repair work of 'Saint Refinement', July felt that it was best not to give him any new research projects for the time being.

"Then I need to speed things up a bit."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi thought Kisuke Urahara would compete with him for this material.

On the other side, Kariya noticed that Izumi, who was excellent at escaping, was being toyed with by these three Grim Reapers, so he decided not to continue the fight.

These three Grim Reapers are incredibly powerful; there's little chance of winning if we continue fighting.

Kariya's ability is to control the wind. He will use the wind to create chaos and give himself a chance to escape.

His spiritual pressure surged, displaying an intensity no less than that of the vice-captain before the three Shinigami.

"This spiritual pressure... how many souls must it absorb!" Kisuke Urahara frowned.

The spiritual pressure gathered in the artifact in Kariyagami's right hand, rapidly brewing a terrifying storm.

"Play with fire, Red Princess."

Kisuke Urahara turned the blade, and red and black lines and spirit orbs rolled towards Kariyagami.

Kisuke Urahara's Zanpakuto has multiple release phrases, each corresponding to a different ability.

He has many abilities and can adapt to all kinds of situations.

bang bang bang-

The spirit ball exploded around Kariya.

Kariya chose to withstand the damage from the explosion with his spiritual pressure, and unleashed the terrifying storm he had been brewing.

The residents of Naruki Castle also noticed the changes in the sky.

"Look over there, what's that?"

"A miracle?!"

"A natural disaster! It's a natural disaster sent down by the gods!"

The terrifying storm in the sky was felt by ordinary people.

The shrine maiden Yakumo was also watching the storm.

She possesses spiritual abilities, allowing her to sense the horror of the situation more acutely than other humans.

She trembled involuntarily, like a small animal encountering its natural enemy.

"My God..." the priestess Yakumo prayed in her heart, "My God will surely defeat the demons!"

"Is this Soul Hunter going to fight desperately? Is he trying to destroy this place, endanger the humans in the city, and escape in the chaos?"

July frowned and quickly drew her sword.

The dark sandstorm quickly took shape in the air, solidifying into a sandstorm blade.

Countless sand and dust particles swirled violently within it, giving it an extremely terrifying sharpness.

The sandstorm blade sliced ​​through the terrifying storm, tearing it in two.

When the sword was sheathed in July, the lingering storm in the air was swept up by the gale-force winds generated by the sandstorm blade as it slashed through the air and gradually dissipated.

This move was inspired by Kashiwamura Sajin.

Over the years, July's disciples have also developed many new techniques.

These moves were developed based on the swordsmanship that July taught them, and they were also very suitable for July.

The city's residents saw the dark, oppressive storm suddenly cleaved in two by a gray blade.

"What just happened wasn't a natural disaster, it was the gods vanquishing demons! The gods saved the entire Naruki!"

Yakumo breathed a sigh of relief and explained what had just happened to the tea drinkers in the teahouse.

“This is truly a miracle!”

The tea drinkers prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting in the direction from which the gray blade had slashed.

"What a terrifying power..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Mayuri Kurotsuchi's eyes.

He hadn't known the captain for very long, and he hadn't seen the captain fight much.

I only learned about Shikagoshi July from conversations with other people.

He knew the captain was very strong.

But seeing firsthand how the captain easily deflected a move that was comparable to a vice-captain-level Grim Reaper's full-force attack was still incredibly shocking.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi glanced at Kariya, who was lying on the ground.

Kariya was only caught in the edge of the sandstorm blade before being knocked unconscious by the terrifying gale.

Before Captain Shikato, the leader of the Soul Hunters was utterly helpless.

"I thought I was going to die!" Kisuke Urahara said thankfully as he landed. "Luckily, the captain wasn't targeting me!"
