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

The primordial world was composed of the chaotic world and hell.

The Hollows continue to devour humanity, and Hell continues to expand. If left unchecked, all souls will eventually concentrate in one Hollow, and the entire world will be eroded and assimilated by Hell, plunging the world into complete stillness.

King Ling made some attempts.

But the initial attempt failed, and as a result, some of its power was lost.

The lost power merged with a Hollow in Hell that had devoured countless humans, becoming the Lord of Hell.

Then, the Three Realms were created, separating them from Hell, allowing the spiritual particles of the Three Realms to circulate within them, thus slowing the expansion of Hell.

However, it only slowed down the expansion of hell...

The silver-haired girl said softly.

“Powerful souls that die in the Three Realms will still go to Hell,” July added slowly.

"In the primordial world, there was no birth or death. Birth and death are the rules of the Three Realms. Once a powerful soul leaves the Three Realms, there will no longer be a boundary between birth and death."

The silver-haired girl nodded and explained why the deceased captain-level powerhouses were resurrected in hell.

Because hell is part of the primordial world!

In the primordial world, there was no concept of life and death. The essence of all souls was a cluster of spiritual particles, and even if they were shattered, it would not prevent them from gathering together again.

“However, Quincy power can destroy Hollow particles…” July whispered, “What if it’s a spirit that also possesses powers beyond Hollows? Can Quincy completely destroy it?”

He suddenly realized that the Quincy's power could completely destroy Hollows, preventing them from going to Hell to be resurrected.

He also possesses Hollow energy within him, and it's uncertain whether he would die completely and be unable to be resurrected in Hell if he were killed by Quincy power.

"Someone like you..." The silver-haired girl shook her head, "If you were killed by Quincy power, only the Void Spirits within you would be purified; the rest would still go to Hell."

"You're not eliminating the 'Lord of Hell' in order to slow down the expansion of Hell?" July continued to ask. "The 'Eye of Hell' sealed in Hell is also a way to slow down the expansion of Hell, isn't it?"

The spiritual particles of captain-level souls do not dissipate; they will eventually flow into Hell, which continues to expand.

Perhaps many years from now, the balance between hell and the three realms will be broken.

The 'Eye of Hell' sealing technique discovered in July is continuously transporting spiritual particles from hell to the Avici Hell, purifying them into ordinary spiritual particles.

Therefore, he believed that the sealed 'Eye of Hell' was a setup to slow down the expansion of Hell.

"That's one reason. However, as time goes by, the remains of the 'Lord of Hell' have absorbed a massive amount of Hell Spirit Particles. If He were to be resurrected from the remains, His strength would far surpass what Hell Spirit Particles were before." The silver-haired girl paused and said, "The current Spirit King is no longer complete. I'm afraid only a Spirit King in his prime would have the strength to contend with him."

“That would be a catastrophe for the Three Realms…” July’s face darkened.

Judging from this, even if he becomes a transcendent being, he might not be able to defeat the resurrected 'Lord of Hell'; he would need to reach the level of the Spirit King in his prime.

“That’s right, I’ll leave this problem to you.” The silver-haired girl spread her hands and said calmly, “After all, the current ‘Spirit King’ is just a ‘Contract of the Three Realms’ sealed in crystal.”

"You think so highly of me...?" July's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

"You've changed too many things; the future is no longer clear." The silver-haired girl smiled slightly. "Although the Soul King could intervene a little and have Ichigo Kurosaki's mother born earlier, it's hard to be sure that he can shoulder the future of this world."

Originally, the Soul King's choice was Ichigo Kurosaki.

However, even the Soul King, unable to see the future interfered with by July, was uncertain whether Ichigo Kurosaki, born at a different time, would possess the same potential as the original Ichigo Kurosaki.

Therefore, the question of the 'Lord of Hell' is left to the 'variable' of Shikatoshi Nanatsuki.

"What advice does the Spirit King have for the 'Lord of Hell'?"

Even if the other party doesn't bring it up, July can't just sit idly by and ignore this matter.

In July, everything he and his acquaintances knew was within the Three Realms, and he didn't want to sit idly by and watch the 'Lord of Hell' be resurrected and destroy the Three Realms.

"You have found the Hell Passage in Hueco Mundo. Once you are strong enough, go and destroy the Zanpakuto of the 'Lord of Hell'. That Zanpakuto is a part of His soul, but it has also absorbed a massive amount of Hell Spirit Particles, making it no weaker than Yhwach, who has fused with the Soul King's body."

"Is that the place guarded by a servant of the Spirit King?"

"Yes, the Zanpakuto of the 'Lord of Hell' is sealed in that passage."

"The Zanpakuto is only a part of the 'Lord of Hell's' soul, right? What about the part sealed in Hell?"

"As I said before, only someone at the Soul King's peak can solve this, so you'll have to figure it out yourself. Kurosaki Ichigo's mother will be born early as a backup plan."

The silver-haired girl didn't provide a specific plan, leaving it entirely to July to figure out on her own.

"Understood." July nodded. In the end, it all comes down to strength.

However, the Soul King will still push for the birth of Ichigo Kurosaki as a precaution.

Human souls wander through the three realms, and so do the souls of Ichigo Kurosaki and his future mother, Masaki Kurosaki.

The current Spirit King clearly still possesses the ability to influence the three realms, and can control Kurosaki Masaki's soul to be born into the Kurosaki clan ahead of time.

All it takes is for Isshin Shiba to unite with Masaki Kurosaki, and for Ichigo Kurosaki's soul to be reincarnated there. The bloodline and soul of the prematurely born Ichigo Kurosaki will be identical to the original Ichigo Kurosaki, only the time of his birth will be different.

However, even so, there are still errors.

The offspring of the same two people who reproduce at different times may not have the same physical qualities.

This is an unknown card draw, but the probability of drawing good cards is relatively high this time.

Therefore, the Soul King did not place his future on Ichigo Kurosaki, but could only treat him as an insurance policy.

"It seems that I'm not only communicating with the Spirit King."

July gazed at the silver-haired girl and noticed that she repeatedly used the title 'Spirit King' instead of referring to herself.

“That’s right, I am the Heavenly Bone, I am a part of the Spirit King, but not the Spirit King himself. Like Penida, Gerard and others, if the Spirit King cuts off his connection with me, I am also an independent individual.” The silver-haired girl nodded.

The consciousness of the Spirit King and the consciousness of the Heavenly Bone were communicating with July at the same time.

"The Spirit King has severed contact with me; it's time for me to leave."

After the silver-haired girl finished speaking, she transformed into starlight, flew out of the consciousness space, and landed in the 'Heavenly Divine Bone' at July's waist.

Chapter 355 The Mask of Illusion

July left the space of consciousness.

His base panel has changed again:

[Basic Abilities (Bleach): Spiritual Pressure lv95, Swordsmanship lv95, Kido lv90, Hakuda lv90, Shunpo lv90, Hollowfication lv1]

[Basic Abilities (Virtual): Super Regeneration lv90, Steel Skin lv90, Vibration lv90, Spinning Spin lv1]

The Shinigami's basic ability bar now includes Hollowfication, and there's also an additional row for Hollow basic abilities.

The ability to become intangible only takes effect when the object is intangible.

Upon seeing the stats of the Void Power panel, July couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

The initial stats for Void Power are extremely high!

He has been the captain for over twenty years, and his swordsmanship, Kido, Hakuda, and Shunpo skills have all improved significantly in the past two decades, reaching level 90 or above in all of them.

The base attributes at level 90 are a level that only captain-level powerhouses who are proficient in this art can achieve!

Many newly appointed captains only have a spiritual pressure level of 90. If one or two basic attributes reach level 90 or above, they are considered to be outstanding in certain aspects.

July now has no weaknesses; in any aspect, she is outstanding among all the team leaders.

His swordsmanship goes without saying; he is among the top in the entire Soul Society, already at the level of a great swordsman who has founded his own school.

Since reaching the highest level of proficiency in all low and mid-series Kido and mastering many high-series Kido, July's Kido level has also reached 90.

After mastering a host of powerful hand-to-hand combat and instant-step skills, his hand-to-hand combat and instant-step skills also reached this level.

The threshold of level 90 is extremely high; most Grim Reapers spend their entire lives trying to cross this threshold.

However, in July, three of the initial stats for the Void Power directly reached level 90!

July raised her hand and opened her palm in front of her face.

A white substance appeared on his face and quickly condensed into a white mask.

The mask's shape fits July's face, with two intersecting seams that resemble a slanted cross scar.

The upper part of the two slits is just enough for the eyes to see the outside world.

July's eyes have also undergone tremendous changes.

The whites of his eyes had been stained black, and his originally black pupils had turned white.

The dragon horns on both sides of the mask's forehead have three forked sharp points, like frozen lightning.

July felt a surge of power.

After becoming intangible, his spiritual pressure also increased dramatically.

【Spiritual Pressure lv95 (+1)】

"Hollowfication is an amplification of the original... My spiritual pressure is very strong, and after hollowfication, I directly possess the abilities of super-fast regeneration, steel skin, and the King's Hollow Flash."

July understood why Void Power had such a high initial stat; it was because his original foundation was already very good.

Unlike the Quincy's power, his Hollow power is closely related to the Shinigami's power and does not exist independently, so he does not need to start from scratch.

"The level of etherealization is related to its duration and the amplification of etherealization... The higher the level, the longer it can last."

In July, she glanced at the basic panel and saw that the ethereal effect was only at level 1.

The level 1 'Etherealization' effect lasts only a short time, about 10 seconds, and the mask quickly begins to dissipate.

However, July's spiritual pressure is strong, and recovery is fast; after a while, one can become intangible again.

In July, a thought struck him: to invest some unallocated general experience into 'virtualization'.

【Virtualization lv10 (0/200)】

The 'Etherealization' skill level has been increased from 0 to 10.

In July, the mask materialized once again.

He felt that the spiritual pressure amplification after the ethereal transformation was slightly greater, about 10% more than before, but not enough to increase the spiritual pressure by one level, so the panel did not change.

He drew his Zanpakuto, his spiritual pressure surging within him, and swung the sword forward.

The crimson crescent plowed a deep trench in the ground, swiftly slashing towards the giant rocky jungle of the Great Void Forest.

boom--! ! !

The giant rock, swept by the crimson light, instantly turned into powder.

"Cero can be released by slashing."

July was very satisfied with the effect of the Cero version of Getsuga Tenshou; releasing Getsuga Tenshou this way made it several times more powerful than before.

After a while, the mask on his face disappeared again.

“After ‘Etherealization’ is upgraded to level 10, the duration is now 100 seconds.”

In July, I estimated the duration of 'blurring' and found that it increases by about 10 seconds for each level.

"My ethereal transformation is very stable... Shadow Princess won't mess with me."

The power of the void is very stable in July and will not go out of control.

There are still many general experiences that have not been distributed.

Of the 40 universal experience points awarded to the Death God's disciples for being promoted to captain last time, 5 remain.

The training tasks and advancements completed by the Quincy disciples during this period have earned him 11 general experience points.

Nel and Halibel evolved into Vasto Lorde Hollows, which also gave July 20 Universal Experience.

After Nel became the Queen of Hueco Mundo, July also received amazing feedback, gaining 50 Universal Experience.

There are still 86 general experience points that have not been allocated.

I glanced at the spiritual pressure panel.

【Spiritual Pressure lv95 (169000/500000)】

Over the past twenty years, spiritual pressure has increased by hundreds of thousands of experience points.

This is the natural growth rate in July without the input of general experience.

After his Zanpakuto awakened in July, he completely merged with Shikatori Hakunsai's spirit body, truly becoming a brand new spirit.

Since then, his spiritual pressure growth rate has been different from that of other spirit remains; it has been able to grow normally.

In other words, in a few hundred years, July's spiritual pressure may naturally grow to level 100, reaching the level of first-class spiritual power.
