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

July has already understood the source of the Soul Hunter's power.

The power of the Shinigami and the power of the Quincy are also part of his soul. He attaches the power of the Quincy to the Spirit Golem and transforms it into a golem. In principle, this is the same as the creation of the Soul Hunting Golem.

July had already imbued the spirit puppet with Quincy power.

He was now operating like a shadow clone, with multiple perspectives simultaneously.

Having experience controlling shadow clones, he quickly adapted to controlling the spirit puppet.

"My Quincy powers can even control shadows..."

In July, a surprising discovery was made.

He discovered that he could also control shadows when only Quincy powers were available.

"Could it be that my 'Holy Script Ability' is simply the ability to control shadows?"

In July, he recalled that some elite Quincy had their own unique abilities, such as the Dreamer-Greymy's ability to 'make his imagination come true'.

In July, I tested the Quincy's ability to control shadows. The ability was relatively basic and similar to the ability of Shikai.

The most powerful Bankai ability, which allows one to summon the shadows of oneself or others to assist in battle, cannot be used.

In July, he attempted to fire a Holy Arrow of Annihilation, but two targets were attacked instead.

The shadow of the Holy Arrow can also damage the target!

"The materialization of shadows has been enhanced, and the combat power in Quincy form can be guaranteed."

"Other features are still under development..."

In July, she manipulated the spirit puppet to sink into the shadows.

The spirit puppet continued to descend within the shadow space until it reached the depths of the shadow.

A moment later, he found a space deep in the shadows that was isolated by a spiritual barrier.

In July, she sensed a heavy spiritual pressure fluctuation above the spiritual barrier.

In the entire Soul Society, only Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's spiritual pressure can compare to this level of spiritual pressure.

The spiritual pressure above the spiritual barrier should be Yhwach's spiritual pressure.

In July, he produced a silver artifact, the key to the Sun Gate, which he had taken from the Quincy instructor, Cheruger.

Through the key to the Sun Gate, one can silently enter the invisible empire.

Upon approaching the spirit barrier, the key to the Sun Gate was instantly activated, and an invisible wave enveloped July's spirit puppet.

July quickly understood the purpose of the invisible fluctuations and he directly entered the spiritual barrier.

As he expected, he passed through the spirit barrier without any problems.

"This is the Invisible Empire..."

July observed the environment inside the barrier.

In the distance, there is a vast complex of palaces.

The architectural style of the palace complex looked familiar; he had seen it in the scenes where the Dreamer Gray had manifested.

"First, infiltrate Silverframe City."

Looking at the buildings in the very center of the complex in July, the tallest building was undoubtedly the main city of the Invisible Empire—Silverframe City.

Chapter 330 Breaking Inside

The Invisible Empire, just three days after Hasward and the others returned.

"Good afternoon, Lady Penida. Are you settling in alright here?"

Hasward arrived at Penida's residence to give his daily greetings.

He knew that Penida's identity was special and her thinking logic was difficult to fathom, so he had to pay close attention to her.

After returning from the mortal world, he would come over every day to chat with Penida.

"The spiritual environment is good, very suitable for Quincy, very comfortable."

Penida's quirky voice became slightly smoother.

Penida is the Soul King's left arm. Eight hundred years ago, he was sealed inside Yhwach's body by Ichibei Hyosube of the Zero Division as a sealing medium to seal Yhwach's "All-Knowing and All-Powerful Eye".

This seal was extremely powerful; even when Yhwach extracted Penida from his body, he was unable to unseal the "All-Knowing and All-Powerful Eye."

After Yhwach separated Penida, he left her in the present world.

Penida only regained consciousness when Hasward came looking for her.

"I'm glad Lord Penida is satisfied. If you have any needs, please don't hesitate to ask the gatekeeper..."

Hasward nodded slightly.

After exchanging a few words, Haschward left Penida's residence.

As the Grand Master of the Sternritter and the King's representative, Haschward had many daily affairs to attend to. Just as he was about to return to handle some matters concerning the Grand Master, he suddenly heard a sound coming from the royal bedchamber of Silverframe City.

"Your Majesty... is calling me."

Hasward turned and walked toward the royal bedroom corridor.

Before long, Hasward entered the palace.

He would not have come here without His Majesty's summons.

Nothing had changed in the palace; even without anyone cleaning, the gleaming floor remained spotless.

Haschwald walked through the passageway between the massive stone pillars and came to Yhwach.

Yhwach still did not open his eyes, but the heartbeat coming from his chest confirmed to Hasward that His Majesty should be in an "awake" state.

Compared to before, Hasward felt that His Majesty's heartbeat had become stronger.

The occasional fluctuations in spiritual pressure emanating from it were so heavy they were suffocating.

"His Majesty."

Hasward bowed respectfully.

"Hasward..."

"not enough..."

Yhwach's lips did not move, but his voice resonated in Hasswald's heart.

But His Majesty's words made Hasward, who had been bowing his head, narrow his eyes.

"Your Majesty... the Quincy sent to the mortal realm twenty years ago have mostly sacrificed their lives for their country."

Hasward felt the weight on his shoulders growing heavier and heavier.

"not enough..."

"We still need a little more help..."

Yhwach's voice continued to come.

Hasward closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.

"Understood..."

"The Sternritter has not replenished its ranks with fresh blood for a long time. I will select suitable knights from among the soldiers."

When Hasward opened his eyes again, there was no longer any emotion in them, only coldness.

Twenty years ago, he selected nearly half of his soldiers to send to the present world.

Now, he needs to recruit knights from the remaining soldiers.

The Quincy King is still some distance from fully awakening, and the expansion of the Sternritter will be a boost to his power.

This recruitment drive will likely be exceptionally brutal.

“Go...Hasward…”

May His Majesty recover soon.

Haschwald bid farewell to Yhwach and left the palace.

......

After controlling the spirit puppet into the Invisible Empire in July, he planned to directly infiltrate the Invisible Empire's main city, Silverframe City.

"Fortunately, I can use shadow abilities, otherwise I would be easily discovered in open areas outside the city."

Near the spirit barrier, only patrolling soldiers were active. July slipped into the shadows, avoiding the patrolling soldiers' line of sight, and entered the building complex area.

The outer city is a residential area. In the invisible empire, everyone is a soldier, so the residential area is equivalent to the soldiers' residence.

The architectural style of the residential area is similar to that of the main city, with buildings made of white bricks and stones.

While passing through a residential area in July, I overheard a conversation that caught my attention, so I stopped to gather information.

Two Quincy dressed in white uniforms sat chatting on the stone steps.

"Ryuzaki, haven't you already been assigned a job? Why don't you need to be on duty?" the blonde Quincy asked.

"I've taken leave!" another black-haired Quincy said. "Everyone has to participate in this recruitment, so I need to seize this opportunity to join the Sternritter and go to the main city!"

“That makes sense… You came from the mortal world and participated in the war; with your strength, you certainly have some opportunities,” the blond Quincy sighed. “Sigh… I just don’t understand, why must someone with my strength participate?”

"Maybe it's because there are more people, which can liven up the atmosphere..." the black-haired Quincy said uncertainly.

“That’s true. The Sternritter hasn’t recruited any new members in a long time. It wouldn’t be good if things went cold.” The blonde Quincy nodded.

"The Sternritter are recruiting new members?"

A thought suddenly occurred to her in July.

His purpose in infiltrating the Unknown Empire was to ascertain Yhwach's condition.

But he also wanted to avoid alerting Yhwach and the other Quincy.

Given time, July will surely be able to crack the Shadow Technology of the Invisible Empire, and then he will be able to lead the other Grim Reapers to infiltrate the deep Shadow Space.

This will be a trump card, which can be used to launch a surprise attack on the invisible empire.

Therefore, he did not want to expose himself during this infiltration operation.

To check Yhwach's status, you can contact the Sternritter.

"I need an identity..."

In July, she noticed that the Quincy said his companion was a Quincy who had returned from the human world.

“Apart from the Sternritter, other Quincy do not possess the ‘Key to the Sun Gate’.”

Based on research conducted over the past July, the 'Key to the Sun Gate' seized from Quincy instructor Cherujer can be used to pass through the barrier of the Unknown Empire.

It is the key to activate the portal 'Sun Gate'.

Quincy can be transported to the human world, Hueco Mundo, and even Soul Society through the 'Gate of the Sun'.

Moreover, the teleportation method of the 'Gate of the Sun' is the same one that July had seen used to open the Shadow Passage.

However, only members of the Sternritter in the Unknown Empire possess the 'Key to the Sun Gate'.

Therefore, Quincy in the present world cannot travel to the Wandenreich alone.

The two Quincy continued their conversation.

"I never expected the Shinigami to suddenly launch a war. Damn Shinigami, they've killed so many Quincy! Just wait! Once the King awakens, he'll lead us to conquer Soul Society!"

"This war was very brutal... Our leader was quickly defeated by Death... We could only flee afterward, and we were almost caught by Death. Fortunately, Lord Ishida came to our rescue and brought us back."

"Lord Ishida is so kind. He's probably the only one among the Knights who cares about the lives of Quincy in the mortal world."

"Shh... The other knights aren't deliberately standing by and watching us die, they just don't want to escalate the war, after all... our king hasn't awakened yet!"

"I didn't say that!"

After listening for a while, I realized that the two Quincy were mainly discussing the recent war.

"However, one thing is strange. I had a brief conversation with the Shinigami who was chasing us, because he seemed to hate us a lot... He even said that his son died at the hands of the Quincy... The entire Shinigami stronghold was destroyed by the Quincy."

"Ah...you guys even proactively destroyed the Grim Reaper's stronghold before?"
