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

A dull drumbeat sounded, and the ethereal Shikaku Hakunsai vanished.

The next instant, she appeared above July's head.

July sank into the shadows, dodging the attack from the ethereal Shikato Hakunsai.

"The sound rang out..."

In July, a thought flashed through Qi Yue's mind: what Ba Yunzhai had just used was not Instant Step, but the Emptiness of the Sound.

The void's transformation is a spatial teleportation, which can directly break free from constraints.

After the Hollowfied Shikatori Hakunsai lost his target, a black and red light condensed within the bone mask.

A terrifying flash of light, far surpassing the power of Adjuchas's Hollow Cero, struck the dark wall of the Shadow Dimension.

boom--! ! !

Cracks soon appeared in the shadow space.

"We need to interrupt her..."

While the shadow space can be repaired with spiritual pressure, sending a Cero outside would damage the things inside the laboratory.

Although his opponent is Shikatori Hakunsai, July is no longer the same person he used to be.

The Hollowfied Shikatori Hakunsai only possessed the instincts of a Hollow and was unable to use the abilities and swordsmanship of a Zanpakuto, making him easy for Nanatsu to handle.

A figure crackling with golden lightning suddenly rose from the shadows.

boom--

July directly cleaved Cero in two.

"Roar!!!"

The ethereal Shikatori Hakunsai spotted a living creature and immediately pounced on July.

July vanished in an instant, and the ethereal Shikatori Hakunsai found nothing.

Then, the two figures flashed rapidly in the air.

With the combined effects of various conditions, July's speed was already the fastest in Seireitei, even faster than Hollow King Hiruzen's teleportation speed!

The attacks of the intangible Shikatori Hakunsai always missed their target.

Not wanting to hurt Ba Yunzhai, Qi Yue simply used speed to keep her hanging on.

A moment later, Ba Yunzhai's eyes gradually regained their clarity, and the bony shell on his body quickly fell off.

"Are you awake?"

July stepped forward and caught Ba Yunzhai, who was temporarily exhausted and falling from the sky.

"I won," Ba Yunzhai said, slightly out of breath. "I haven't practiced swordsmanship in a long time, and my skills have become quite rusty!"

Fearing that his chaotic state would harm Qiyue, Ba Yunzhai rushed out, which ironically gave the power of the void some opportunities, allowing it to linger longer.

Ba Yunzhai felt the spiritual pressure gradually increasing within his body, and his spirit was greatly shaken.

"July, thank you." Ba Yunzhai knew that July had put in a lot of effort and tried every possible method to help her solve the problem of the spiritual pressure core.

Now, my wish has finally come true.

"There's no need for these words between us," July said with a light laugh.

Chapter 319 Accepting a Disciple

Weeks later, at the Killing Stone Mine Training Ground.

In July, they were testing the effect of the Masked Form on Bayunzai's enhancement.

After a period of training, Ba Yunzhai has tamed the power of emptiness within his body.

She can now actively become ethereal, thus increasing her combat power.

After entering the ethereal state, Ba Yunzhai had an oval mask on his face with two diagonal black grooves that looked somewhat like two knife marks.

dong dong dong-

Ba Yunzhai moved swiftly, leaving eight afterimages in the air.

Eight afterimages simultaneously wielded their naginata, and eight storms of blades converged, sweeping towards July.

“It’s so fast.”

July's spiritual pressure erupted, golden flames and lightning intertwined with the turbulent flow of spiritual pressure on her back.

His figure flashed, passing through the gaps in the storm of blades at an extremely fast speed.

Once in her ethereal state, Ba Yunzhai moved incredibly fast; if Qi Yue didn't use Instant Hurricane, she simply couldn't keep up with her speed.

"You're the one who's fast! You managed to get through such a dense barrage of attacks!"

Ba Yunzhai kicked him.

In July, she reached out, trying to grab Ba Yunzhai's foot and throw him away.

However, the ethereal state also caused Ba Yunzhai's power to surge, and July underestimated her strength, unable to hold on firmly after grabbing her ankle.

boom--

Ba Yunzhai kicked Qiyue in the abdomen, but it didn't feel like kicking normal flesh.

In July, dense blue lines appeared on her abdomen.

"Although I held back a little, the defensive power of the 'Quiet Blood Armor' is too outrageous. It's like kicking into a binding spell; I can't move it at all!" Ba Yunzhai flipped in the air, stepped on the air, and used the void to his advantage to quickly kick out a spinning kick.

The defensive capabilities provided by the 'Quiet Blood Armor' in July are comparable to those of some mid-to-high-tier Binding Paths.

At the same time, July switched from the Blood Armor to the Dynamic Blood Armor.

A fist covered in blue lines and stripes suddenly slammed out.

boom--!

The two spiritual pressures collided, and the resulting turbulent spiritual pressure forced them both back.

"Your strength has increased a lot." Ba Yunzhai rubbed his swollen instep. Under the influence of the power of emptiness, the injury under his skin was healing rapidly.

The mask on Ba Yunzhai's face also began to dissipate. "The mask couldn't be maintained anymore; it lasted for one second longer than last time."

Ba Yunzhai has just mastered the ability to become ethereal and cannot maintain it for very long.

She can now maintain the blurred state for about half a minute.

"I've switched to the 'Bloodstained Armor'." July flexed her slightly numb fists. "'Bloodstained Armor' can enhance my strength."

The bonuses from Bloodlust Gear and Instant Spell can stack!

He just forced the ethereal Ba Yunzhai back with his strength alone!

Twenty years have passed, and his Quincy panel has undergone tremendous changes:

[Basic Abilities (Quinus): Spirit Cluster Lv80 (+5), Still Blood Armor Lv80, Moving Blood Armor Lv80, Flying Scythe Kick Lv60]

In the past twenty years, apart from Byakuya Kuchiki, no other suitable disciple has been found.

Therefore, he didn't gain much experience through mission rewards and mainly relied on his own cultivation.

After upgrading 'Spirit Particle Cluster' and 'Silent Blood Armor' to level 80, the improvement gained through training becomes minimal.

So in July, I also started practicing 'Bloodstained Armor' and 'Flying Scythe Kick'.

He had some guesses about this.

Quincy is a profession that heavily relies on talent.

The Kurosaki bloodline he extracted was too damaged, and the Quincy aptitude he obtained from the Kurosaki bloodline was actually quite ordinary.

Reaching level 80 in his Quincy abilities was already the limit of his Quincy talent.

To further improve 'Spirit Cluster' and 'Silent Blood Armor', you either need to improve your Quincy aptitude first, or simply use general experience to boost them.

"That's all for today. I still need to go to the Spirit Arts Academy. Xiao Chun said she's met a promising talent and wants to introduce him to me."

July smiled.

Kotsubaki Jin'emon is currently the head of the swordsmanship department at the Shinigami Academy, where he teaches swordsmanship to the students.

Yesterday, I suddenly contacted July, saying that I had found a promising young student among the freshmen who was suitable for sword training.

"Then hurry up and go!" Ba Yunzhai nodded. "It's been quite a while since you've taken on any new disciples, and the dojo has become rather deserted."

The world has been quite turbulent lately, and the Grim Reapers have all been busy, as have the disciples of July.

The disciples returned to the temple less often, and Baiyunzhai felt that the temple was somewhat deserted.

...

In July, I arrived at the Shinigami Academy.

It's break time now, and I met many students on the way in July.

The Academy of Spiritual Arts was bustling with activity. The new students had only been enrolled for a month and were still in the peak of their enthusiasm.

"Who is that? The new teacher?"

"Idiot, didn't you see Captain Hagoromo?"

"Ah... I'm from Rukongai, I've never seen Captain Haori before... Is this Captain Haori? He's so handsome!"

The students were all talking about Shikatri July's arrival.

The students who worked at the Spirit Arts Academy in July have long since graduated, and now all the faces you see at the academy are new.

July was familiar with the swordsmanship club, so she went directly to Kotsubaki Jin'emon's office.

"Captain Shikatori? What a rare guest!"

On the way, they bumped into Duanmu Zongjie, who was returning to the swordsmanship club office.

"Teacher Duanmu, do we still need so many materials for swordsmanship classes these days?"

July looked at the lesson plan that Duanmu Zongjie was holding and asked curiously.

"It's not the materials for the swordsmanship class. The swordsmanship course arrangement is still the one left behind by Captain Shikatori. Captain Shikatori brought the experience of the dojo to the Spirit Arts Academy, and the optimizations he made to the swordsmanship course are already very comprehensive."

Duanmu Zongjie smiled happily, "The teacher of the general education course is on maternity leave, so I have to cover for her."

"A general education teacher?" July remembered that Duanmu Zongjie's wife was a new teacher who came later, and smiled slightly. "Your wife, right? She's going to be a father!"

"Hehe, that's right!" Duanmu Zongjie chuckled.

"What brings Captain Shikagu here today?" Duanmu Zongjie asked curiously. "I didn't hear that the Spirit Arts Academy invited the captain to participate in any activities."

"Xiao Chun said there's a promising swordsman among this year's freshmen, so I came to check it out," July explained.

"A promising talent for swordsmanship?" Duanmu Zongjie suddenly realized, "I seem to have heard Minister Kotsubaki mention him; he's an insei in Minister Kotsubaki's class."

The two arrived at the swordsmanship club office and saw Kotsubaki Jin'emon giving a lecture to an insei.

Standing in front of Kotsubaki Jin'emon was a rebellious, bald-headed innkeeper.

"You've only been enrolled for a short time, and you've already caused such a big mess!" Kotsubaki Jin'emon's face flushed red, and he slammed his fist on the table several times. "Damaging public property will result in a deduction of academic credits!"

"You're vandalizing public property too, Ms. Tsubaki!" the bald graduate student said, hands in his pockets, pursing his lips.

The table had dented under Kotsubaki Jin'emon's slap.

"Still talking back!" Kotsubaki Jin'emon picked up a wooden sword hanging on the wall-mounted sword rack. "Looks like I need to give you some swordsmanship lessons!"

"Ha—I couldn't be happier!" The bald intern grinned, drawing his wooden sword from his waist. "Let me see the renowned Shikatori-ryu swordsmanship!"

He provoked Kōtsubaki Jōemon in order to provoke him into making a move!

The disciples of the Shikatori School are mostly strong individuals who passed the graduation exam ahead of time, and the legends they left behind in the Spirit Arts Academy are still circulating today.

When the bald-headed innkeeper heard that Kotsubaki Jin'emon was a disciple of the Shikari Dojo, he wanted to learn a few moves from him, but was ruthlessly rejected.

So the bald-headed innkeeper tried every means to provoke Tsubaki Jin'emon into making a move, so that he could see for himself whether the Shikatori-ryu swordsmanship was as powerful as rumored.

In July, I glanced at the bald-headed student's profile:
