Chapter 73 Tracking (Ch 73)

When July left, he did not choose to take away the forged Tapir Sword. The side effects of the Tapir Sword were too great and he would definitely not use it.
Moreover, since the Xiadalu family dared to distribute the sword embryo, they should have the means to track the sword embryo.
So July chose to leave it here and wait for the fish to take the bait.
After the two left, the forest fell into silence again.
More than an hour later, there was movement in the area again.
Two Grim Reapers in black robes lifted their hoods, revealing their figures.
They came to recycle knife blanks.
When each knife blank is produced, information that allows for easy tracking is added.
The two men examined the four knives on the ground.
“This knife has been forged successfully.” The black-robed Grim Reaper put on special gloves and picked up the Tapir Knife.
“The knife blanks I have here are all damaged.” Another man in black robe checked the knives left by Kato and others and found cracks on the blades.
The success rate of forging the Tapir Knife is not high. It is considered lucky if one out of the four knife blanks can be successful.
“Let’s go. The batch of knife blanks sent to the Ni Gu area should be ready soon.” The black-robed Grim Reaper put away the Tapir Knife.
However, he did not realize that when he picked up the Mo Yao knife, the thing in the shadow remained in his shadow.
The spiritual pressure that Shikatari Nanazuki left in the shadow of the Tapir Sword was transferred to his shadow.
Although he was not at the scene, he could not change the shape of the shadow or control the movement of the “monitoring point”.
But as long as the shadow of the black-robed Grim Reaper and the shadow of the Tapir Sword overlap, the spiritual pressure left in the shadow can be transferred.
The black-robed Grim Reaper put on his hood again and disappeared.
From the outside, there seemed to be no shadows, but underneath the cloak, there were only shadows.
Therefore, when he moves, it is equivalent to moving with July’s “monitoring point”!
July can determine the location of the black-robed Grim Reaper by the location of his own spiritual pressure.
As long as he enters the Xiada Road family’s experimental base, July will be able to obtain the location information of the experimental base at the first time.
July didn’t know when they would go to the experimental base. In order to maintain the long-term existence of this “monitoring point”, he even invested enough spiritual pressure to maintain the “monitoring point” for several months.
Fortunately, his ability is very effective in hiding fluctuations in spiritual pressure, otherwise these fluctuations in spiritual pressure would be very conspicuous.
It takes at least captain-level strength to be able to detect the spiritual pressure hidden in the shadows.
…
A few days later, at the Shikatari Dojo—
“I did it!”
Excited shouts came from the backyard.
Qiyue walked into the courtyard with her hands in her pockets: “Xiangcai, didn’t you go back to the Spiritual Arts Academy last night?”
Kana Zaraki also often stays at the dojo, but her ghost class this morning started very early.
Rokuguruma Kensei, Hirako Mako, and Kotsubaki Ren’emon were afraid of oversleeping and being late, so they all went back to the dormitory of the Spiritual Arts Academy to sleep last night.
“I suddenly felt the feeling after dinner last night, so I practiced all night!” Zaraki Kana’s body was a little tired, but her spirit was still excited, “Teacher, I learned “Flowing Light”!”
“Let me feel your “flowing light.” July signaled Kana Zaroshiro to attack him.
Kana Zashiro put the knife back into the sheath and wanted to demonstrate it to the teacher on the spot.
When using the “Flowing Light” sword technique, you need to seal the spiritual pressure in the blade first.
She is not yet able to complete this operation in a short time like her teacher.
Moreover, she is not familiar with “Flowing Light” yet, and needs to rely on the scabbard to compress the spiritual pressure.
It is to use the scabbard as a mold and infuse spiritual pressure into the blade inside, which can reduce the difficulty of performing “Flowing Light”.
“Teacher, here I come!” Zaraki Kana shouted softly, drew her sword and swung it.
A light blue blade light suddenly rose from the sheath.
However, the sound of swords clashing did not occur in the courtyard as Kana Zaraki had expected.
Kana Zashiro’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She just saw the teacher suddenly raise his hand and clamp the “Reiatsu Blade” extending from the blade with his palm!
“The teacher caught it with just his hands!” Zaraki Kana was stunned, “Is it because my “Flowing Light” is too weak?”
“The power of your “Flowing Light” is up to standard, but my spiritual pressure control ability and spiritual pressure are much greater than yours, so I can receive it so easily.” July held the “Reiatsu Blade” between his thumb and palm, feeling its sharpness.
Less than a centimeter away, the blue “Reiatsu Blade” was about to cut into the base of his palm, but this one centimeter of distance was an insurmountable gap.
“So that’s how it is. It seems I still have a long way to go.” Kana Zaraki felt that she had become a lot stronger during this period of time, but she still couldn’t understand the depth of her teacher.
July glanced at the panel and saw new prompts for the training mission.
[Disciple Kana Mole City learns the sword technique “Flowing Light”]
[Guide Zanjo Kana to complete a sword skill training, reward settlement]
[Reward: 5000 General Experience]
[Reward: Sword Skill·Dust Blade (Entry Level)]
“Dust Blade” is a sword technique that combines the ways of the ghosts, just like sword techniques such as “Raikiri”.
When you perform a “Dust Blade” attack, the blade will stir up dust, and this dust also has a special effect that can blind the enemy for a period of time.
“Okay, let’s go to the Spiritual Arts Academy quickly, you’re going to be late.” July chuckled.
“Ah!!!” Zaraki Kana looked up and found that the sun had risen, “Teacher, I’m leaving first!”
“It’s probably too late to go to the cafeteria now. There’s still leftover brown sugar cake from last night in the pot…” July said.
As soon as Zaraki Kana rushed out of the yard, she quickly ran back and turned into the kitchen.
When she came out again, she had a piece of cake in her mouth and one in each hand.
After thanking July in an unclear tone, he hurriedly left the dojo.
“I guess I’ll be punished to copy the school rules again.” July shook her head.
Kana Zaraki doesn’t like the ghost art class very much, especially the morning ghost art class that requires her to recite those chanting spells.
She hated memorizing those chanting spells, so she was late almost every week at this time.
“Good morning, teacher. Do you have no classes today?” Aizen Sosuke came to the yard.
“Good morning, Sosuke.” July shook his head. “I have classes in the afternoon, but since I don’t have classes in the morning, I’ll teach you the Kidō. I heard that the early morning is the time when memory is the best, and it’s very suitable for memorizing the Kidō chanting spells…”
Suddenly the voice paused, and when Aizen saw his teacher, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
“The mice have returned to their holes… Sosuke, it looks like I don’t have time to teach you today…”
His sight hidden in the shadow of the man in black robe yielded some results.
The group of men in black robes finally returned to the sword-forging experimental base.
Now that he knew the location of the base, he would not rashly choose to go there alone.
After a while, Bayunsai contacted Kyoraku Shunsui.
