"Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring Reiatsu x136!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Zanpakutō x1!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking Bakudō #8: Seki!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring a Shihakushō x1!"

"Ding..."

As the series of system notifications echoed in Aaron's mind, he could sense the noticeable increase in his Reiatsu.

The Shinigami he had just defeated might have been an ordinary squad member, but the rewards from the system felt surprisingly generous.

Aaron couldn't help but muse, "If defeating a low-ranking Shinigami yields such rewards, imagine what I'd gain from taking down someone at Yamamoto Genryūsai's level! The rewards would likely catapult my power to unimaginable heights!"

A fleeting desire to hunt Shinigami crossed his mind, but he dismissed it almost immediately. He knew that targeting Soul Reapers as prey would inevitably draw the ire of the Seireitei. Worse, it might attract the attention of individuals far stronger than himself.

"I'm still far too weak to challenge the Seireitei head-on," he concluded.

After discarding some of the less valuable loot, Aaron donned the newly acquired Shihakushō.

To his surprise, the uniform adjusted perfectly to his size and build. Beyond the aesthetic fit, he found that his connection to the ambient spiritual particles had grown sharper.

"No wonder Shutara Senjumaru, the inventor of the Shihakushō, ascended to the Royal Guard," he thought with admiration.

The other rewards, including the Zanpakutō and Bakudō #8: Seki, also intrigued him. The latter, in particular, gave him a new avenue for research.

In the days that followed, Aaron immersed himself in experiments. Using his ability All-Knowing and All-Powerful, he carefully analyzed and modified the Kidō he had acquired.

After countless tests and adjustments, he finally achieved results that satisfied him. In the backyard of his residence, he tested one of his modifications.

"Full Coverage: Seki!"

With a soft incantation, a shimmering, light-blue suit of spiritual armor enveloped his entire body. The Reishi armor provided him with a sense of unparalleled defense.

Satisfied with his experiment, he dissipated the armor and reflected on his progress.

By combining Bakudō #8: Seki with his manipulation of spiritual particles, Aaron had developed a defensive technique far more versatile than the original Kidō.

His research didn't stop there.

Drawing inspiration from Hadō #1: Shō, he experimented with reversing the flow of Reiatsu to create a magnetic-like effect. In one trial, his Zanpakutō, lying on the ground, flew straight into his outstretched hand as if pulled by an invisible force.

"Not bad," he murmured. "Let's try another variation."

After a moment of concentration, Aaron executed another experimental technique.

"Sixfold Reprimand!"

With a commanding voice, he cast six consecutive Bakudō #8 spells in rapid succession. The overlapping Reishi fields coalesced into a six-sided cube of spiritual energy, trapping a small bird mid-flight.

The bird, confused and desperate, fluttered frantically within the glowing, light-blue cube. No matter how it tried to escape, the spiritual walls held firm.

"Condense!"

At Aaron's command, the cube began to shrink rapidly. In an instant, it crushed the bird into a mist of blood and spiritual particles.

A faint smile crossed Aaron's face. "Transforming a defensive Kidō into an offensive technique... This is truly satisfying."

Pleased with his progress, Aaron sheathed his Zanpakutō and retrieved the newly acquired weapon from his system inventory, eager to continue his research.

Before he could begin, a voice called out from beyond the backyard wall.

"Aaron! Come out!"

Recognizing the voice, Aaron quickly stored the Zanpakutō and opened the gate. Standing before him was Unohana Yachiru.

What caught his attention immediately was the drastic increase in her Reiatsu. It was significantly more potent than the last time he'd seen her.

"Impressive," he thought, though he couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. While his strength required meticulous research and experimentation, Unohana seemed to grow stronger simply through battle.

Still, as a transmigrator, Aaron believed his unique insights gave him an advantage that no native of the Soul Society could match.

"Long time no see, Lady Unohana," he greeted with a smile.

"Draw your blade!" she replied, wasting no time as she charged at him, her tone sweet yet laced with resolve.

The two clashed in a fierce exchange, their blades ringing as they traded blows. After a brief skirmish, both were forced back by the force of the other's Reiatsu.

Aaron eyed Unohana warily, noting the changes in her combat style. Unlike their previous encounters, where she relied on refined swordsmanship, this time, she abandoned all pretense of finesse. Her attacks were raw and powerful, fueled entirely by her overwhelming Reiatsu.

"I didn't expect you to take such a direct approach, Lady Unohana," Aaron remarked, a note of approval in his voice.

"I was too careless before," she admitted. "But after analyzing our past fights, I realized your Reiatsu is far below mine. Victory is simple—I just need to overwhelm you with sheer spiritual pressure."

With that, she unleashed her Reiatsu in full force and launched another attack.

Aaron's eyes narrowed as he parried her strike.

"So, she's figured it out," he mused. "This might get interesting."

Meanwhile, two shadowy figures observed the battle from a distance, their identities concealed as they watched the duel unfold with intense focus.
