After a period of intense activity, Aaron amassed a considerable amount of Reiatsu.

Though his previous strength and Reiatsu levels had reached a bottleneck, his frequent clashes with Unohana had significantly accelerated his growth. The ability to once again accumulate a large amount of Reiatsu left Aaron thoroughly satisfied.

Such progress felt natural to him, yet what truly surprised Aaron was acquiring a Kidō technique from the defeated leader he had personally slain.

Casting an indifferent glance at the corpse before him, Aaron calmly transferred all the spoils to his system's inventory before departing, leaving the battlefield in disarray.

Back at his residence, he activated the system interface to assess his progress.

[Strongest Box-Picking System]

Host: Aaron

Age: 17

Lineage: Human Soul, Quincy

Reiatsu Level: 638

Special Skills: All-Knowing and All-Powerful

Kendō: Mastered

Hakuda: Mastered

Shunpo: None

Kidō: Hadō #1: Shō

Though Shō was among the most basic of Hadō techniques, Aaron saw its potential as a stepping stone for deeper research into Kidō.

Focusing his Reiatsu into the fingertips of his right hand, he released the spell with a commanding voice.

"Shō!"

A thin stream of energy erupted, striking the ground and sending up a cloud of dust. When the dust cleared, a small, fist-sized crater marked the impact site.

While the destructive power was underwhelming, Aaron refrained from using his all-knowing and all-powerful ability immediately. Instead, he repeated the process, refining his control and technique.

Through the lens of his ability, he analyzed the essence of Hadō #1: Shō. This Kidō fundamentally relied on focusing Reiatsu to displace surrounding Reishi and unleash a burst of concentrated energy.

Aaron began contemplating the potential origins of the Kidō skill he had acquired. He theorized that as long as a Shinigami possessed adequate Reiatsu and basic Kidō training, mastery of foundational techniques like Shō could occur naturally over time.

Beyond Shō, Aaron grew curious about other Kidō techniques, particularly those involving elemental manipulation such as lightning or fire. Reflecting on his earlier study of the "Breath of All Things," he recalled a crucial insight:

Everything in the Soul Society, from towering mountains to the finest grains of dust, was composed of Reishi. Different elemental properties of Reishi could be manipulated through specific arrangements, potentially altering the attributes of Kidō.

With this in mind, Aaron initiated an experiment. Entering a focused state, he extended his spiritual awareness to sense the ambient Reishi. Minutes passed before he detected faint traces of lightning-aspected Reishi.

Using precise movements, he gathered the lightning-charged Reishi into his palm, forming a cluster of crackling energy. Applying the structure of Hadō #1: Shō, he merged his Reiatsu with the lightning Reishi. The energy in his hand flared, forming what appeared to be a glove of electricity.

With a decisive gesture, Aaron unleashed the amalgamation of Reiatsu and Reishi.

CRACK!

A bolt of blue lightning erupted from his hand, accompanied by a deafening roar. When the energy struck the ground, it left behind a charred patch of earth.

"If I can gather more lightning Reishi and channel all my Reiatsu into it, the resulting power should increase exponentially," Aaron mused, satisfied with his breakthrough.

In the following days, Aaron dedicated himself to intensive training. He honed his swordsmanship, explored the nuances of his sealed Zanpakutō, and experimented further with Kidō. Using Hadō #1: Shō as a blueprint, he successfully adapted the technique to manipulate Reishi of different elemental attributes.

Between training sessions, Aaron ventured into nearby Rukongai districts, eliminating notorious criminals and testing his growing strength. The combination of rigorous practice and the system's benefits elevated his Reiatsu to unprecedented levels.

One day, as Aaron prepared to set out for another hunt, a Shinigami clad in the standard black Shihakushō appeared before him. With a cold expression and steely resolve, the Shinigami unsheathed their Zanpakutō and launched a swift attack.
