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

Urahara Kisuke was standing some distance from Kariyagami, but he was still affected by the gale-force winds whipped up by the sandstorm blades and was carried into the air for a while before coming down.

"Captain, I've been injured on the job." Kisuke Urahara, despite having no visible wounds, limped up to July. "Only Soul Hunters can heal my injuries!"

“You rascal…” July shook her head helplessly, “Just send this Soul Hunter to your lab.”

"Huh?" Kisuke Urahara jumped up and down. "I'm healed! Captain, you truly are the greatest healer in Soul Society! You healed my injuries in an instant!"

"Don't talk nonsense, Captain Unohana will have a problem with it!"

Chapter 315 Promotion

Soul Society, Killing Stone Mine Training Ground.

After capturing the Soul Hunters hiding in the Naruki region in July, they returned to Soul Society.

Both Souya Mochishiro and Kaname Tosen have completed their graduation assessments.

[Disciple Zhicheng Shuang also completed the graduation assessment with an excellent rating, and the reward has been settled.]

[Gain 30000 points of basic general experience]

[Random skill proficiency level +1]

[Disciple Dongxian must complete the graduation assessment with an excellent rating to receive rewards.]

[Gain 30000 points of basic general experience]

[Random skill proficiency level +1]

The skill proficiency level has been increased for 'Rain of Light', and the proficiency level of 'Rain of Light' has been upgraded from beginner to master.

'Rain of Light' is a Quincy skill.

These past few days, I obtained the Quincy books from Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Those books contained Quincy's training notes, from which July learned the 'Rain of Light'.

The effect of 'Rain of Light' is to fire a large number of spirit particle arrows in a short period of time. The power of a single arrow is not as great as 'Holy Annihilation Arrow', but it has the advantage of a large number of arrows and a wide area of ​​attack.

The graduation mission rewards for the two disciples will allow July to further enhance her Quincy abilities.

There were 30000 general experience points from the previous True Sword Trial settlement that have not yet been distributed, and now there are a total of 90000 general experience points waiting to be distributed.

In July, 75000 general experience points were invested into the 'Spirit Particle Cluster,' and the Quincy power deep within the spirit body rapidly increased.

【Spiritual Particle Cluster lv75 (0/10000)】

The Spirit Cluster level has been increased from 50 to 75.

After the upgrade, July felt that her perception of the world was different.

His ability to manipulate external spiritual particles has increased dramatically.

The remaining general experience could upgrade the spirit particle cluster by one level, but he still had a test to do, so he would save the general experience for now.

"The spiritual particles from the outside world seem to be an extension of my own spirit..."

External spiritual particles condensed into strands of blue silk, flowing in July's palm.

External spiritual particles can be controlled effortlessly.

"A Quincy's combat strength largely depends on the concentration of spiritual particles in the environment and their own physical stamina..."

In the Soul Society, a place heavily inhabited by spirits, while it's not quite as exaggerated as having an infinite mana bar, as long as you alternate between using Quincy and Shinigami abilities, you'll generally not run out of mana.

"According to the system's measurement standards, a level 76 spirit particle clustering ability should be comparable to the basic ability of a Death God's Chief Officer."

The blue silk threads wrapped around his right hand coalesced and transformed into a spirit arrow.

'Holy Annihilation Arrow' is the Quincy's signature skill, making it perfect for testing the strength of their spirit particle clustering ability.

The silver ring on the middle finger of his left hand lit up with a blue light, which then transformed into a spirit bow.

In fact, the 'Holy Annihilation Arrow' can be launched without a spirit bow, but a high-quality spirit bow or spirit tool can greatly amplify the power and speed of the 'Holy Annihilation Arrow'.

The spirit bow and spirit tool that Yoruichi gave to Nanatsu was from the Shihouin family's collection, so it was naturally no ordinary item.

After the Holy Annihilation Arrow was attached to the Spirit Bow, a hurricane instantly surged from the Spirit Bow and wrapped around the Holy Annihilation Arrow.

The powerful airflow tore through the air in front of him, creating a vacuum zone.

Release the bowstring, and the Sacred Annihilation Arrow nocked on the Spirit Bow vanishes instantly.

A dazzling blue light streaked across the training field.

The arrow arrived before the sound, striking the killing stone target without making a sound.

The speed of the Holy Arrow of Annihilation has exceeded the speed of sound.

The next moment, the killing intent stone target in front shattered.

The Killing Stone can block spiritual particles and spiritual pressure, but it cannot dissipate the terrifying kinetic energy impact brought about by speed.

"With the blessing of the spirit bow, it is even stronger than the ghostly power released by the higher-ranking officials."

The Sacred Arrow that was just released in July only used external spiritual particles and did not use its own spiritual pressure.

“It’s relatively easy to condense the ‘Holy Annihilation Arrow’ using one’s own spiritual pressure, but it’s more difficult to release the Kido using external spiritual particles.”

In July, she wanted to try using her ability to control external spiritual particles to release the Kido.

It is not easy to do this. Kido techniques are "formulaic abilities" tailored for the Shinigami (death god), relying on the spiritual pressure within their own spirit body.

To bypass the spirit body and release the ghost path using external spiritual particles, one must change its underlying logic.

July's current knowledge of the Ghost Path has given her the ability to modify Ghost Path techniques.

However, the number of demonic paths is vast, making this a massive undertaking.

"The modification of Kido is a high priority. If we can release Kido using the ability of Spirit Particle Clustering... it won't attract as much attention, and it will also reduce the consumption of our own spiritual pressure in battle."

In July, it was decided to prioritize the study of the modification of the Ghost Path.

At this stage, he does not want to reveal that he possesses Quincy abilities.

If one uses Kido as a cover, one can enhance one's combat power using Quincy abilities without revealing one's Quincy abilities.

...

A few days later, the Technology Development Bureau.

July arrived at the lab early this morning.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi said that the repair of the 'Saintly Refinement' artifact has been completed.

In order to obtain the research rights to the Soul Hunter with the ability to transform into water, Mayuri Kurotsuchi has been working overtime to repair the 'Saint Refinement' artifact.

Upon entering the laboratory in July, one would see Mayuri Kurotsuchi injecting herself with a vial of blue liquid.

That's a medicine developed by Mayuri Kurotsuchi to boost energy and restore physical strength. It's currently in the clinical trial stage and hasn't been promoted to the outside world yet.

"Actually, there's no need to be in such a rush..."

July felt that if others saw this, rumors would spread that Captain Shikato was exploiting his subordinates.

"I developed reagent number 007 because I didn't want to waste time resting."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's face was covered with a layer of lime-white paint, so the change in his complexion was not visible.

"We still need to balance work and rest. I don't want to lose a great general like you!"

In July, she was somewhat worried that she would hear news of Mayuri Kurotsuchi dying from overwork in the laboratory.

"Thank you for your concern, Captain." Mayuri Kurotsuchi grinned. "However, my spiritual indicators are all normal."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's perspective on things is even more "cold" than Kisuke Urahara's.

He believes that as long as the data from the spirit detection meets the criteria, there is no problem.

This approach will put some pressure on other people in the Technology Bureau.

Apart from Akin, none of the assistants in Mayuri Kurotsuchi's experiments lasted long.

Kisuke Urahara was much more popular with people in the Technical Bureau than he was.

"Hopefully, rumors won't spread that Captain Shikatori is exploiting his subordinates..."

July sighed softly; he had tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's lack of humanity still needs the 'Sleep Project' to heal.

Perhaps only the life he created with his own hands could awaken the humanity hidden deep within his heart.

"The repair of 'Saint Forge' is more difficult than expected. It's not a standard Quincy artifact, and there's relatively little information available about it. However..." Mayuri Kurotsuchi grinned, "This is certainly no challenge for me!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi walked to the table, moved aside a large pile of paper documents, and took out the silver chain that had been pressed underneath.

"After the 'Sacred Refinement' was repaired, the effect of controlling spiritual particles became even more obvious. Yesterday, I went to the Rukongai to test it on a resident without spiritual particle aptitude, and the effect was quite amazing!" Mayuri Kurotsuchi exclaimed. "Giving it to an ordinary soul with no aptitude, the effect it exerted was no less than that of a Shinigami of the twentieth level of spiritual power!"

"The Quincy's spiritual technology is not to be underestimated!" July took the silver chain and wrapped it around her right arm.

In an instant, July experienced the illusion that the surrounding spiritual particles became more active when the spiritual particle cluster was enhanced.

His panel also changed:

[Basic Abilities (Quinus): Spirit Cluster Lv75 (+5), Still Blood Armor Lv50, Moving Blood Armor Lv10, Flying Scythe Kick Lv10]

The Spirit Particle Clustering ability has been upgraded by a full 5 levels, reaching level 80!

The level 80 spirit particle clustering ability represents another qualitative leap.

In other words, July can exert spiritual pressure comparable to that of a Shinigami vice-captain by relying on her spiritual particle aggregation ability.

In July, a thought struck him, and he allocated the general experience he had deliberately saved last time to the 'Spirit Particle Cluster'.

【Spiritual Particle Cluster lv76 (5000/10000)】

The Spirit Cluster level has been increased from 75 to 76.

The basic ability panel has changed again:

[Basic Abilities (Quinus): Spirit Cluster Lv76 (+5), Still Blood Armor Lv50, Moving Blood Armor Lv10, Flying Scythe Kick Lv10]

Spiritual artifacts do not affect the experience required for leveling up.

The enhancement of 'Sacred Refinement' to 'Spiritual Particle Cluster' is an additional bonus!

When Mayuri wore the 'Saint's Refinement' last time in July, he discovered that its effect was far less than his.

Therefore, he speculated that as the 'Spirit Particle Cluster' ability improved, the 'Sacred Refinement' would also enhance it.

If Mayuri Kurotsuchi also had a base stat panel, then the level in his 'Spirit Particle Cluster' column would be 0, and when he wore 'Sacred Refinement', it would only have a 0+5 effect.

Wearing the 'Holy Refinement' in July will result in a 76+5 effect.

The spirit particle cluster level on the system panel is similar to the spirit pressure level; the higher the level, the greater the difference between each level.

The wearing effect of the two is vastly different.

“There should be a limit to improvement, but my ‘Spirit Particle Cluster’ ability has not yet reached that limit.”

July speculated.

Although the 'Sacred Refinement' is a rare spiritual tool, it certainly has its limits. After reaching a certain level, the improvement becomes less significant.

"The repair was perfect, just like new."

July nodded in satisfaction. There was no sign of damage on the sacred artifact; it looked as if it had been newly forged.

"Of course it's new. I melted down the original one, and this is the new one I made."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"I have consulted a lot of materials and have mastered its principles. The spiritual particle formulas inside amplify the effects of affinity spiritual particle materials."

The spiritual artifact was previously damaged, and the spiritual energy spells inside were severely damaged, so the effect was greatly reduced.

I reconstructed the spirit particle formulas within it, restoring their functionality.

"It really is newly made." July raised an eyebrow.

July couldn't help but admire Mayuri Kurotsuchi for mastering an unfamiliar craft in such a short time.

"Can this technology be mass-produced?" July was somewhat concerned about this question.

The 'Sacred Refinement' provides a significant boost to Quincy. If all Quincy of the Wandenreich were to equip themselves with 'Sacred Refinement,' it would be a terrible disaster for the Shinigami.
