Assassination

Chapter 51 Assassination

Tiandou City

Chen Xuan arrived at the Tian Dou competition area on time to participate in the new round of competition.

He closed his eyes to rest in the lounge, and Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing arrived one step behind him.

Everyone from Shrek Academy has arrived.

Today's opponent is just a team from a small academy, whose strongest member only has a soul power of level 39.

Shortly after, Chen Xuan was informed that he would not be playing in today's match, and Huang Yuan from Jingling would be taking his place.

This is what Tyrone told him; it's the master's intention, he spoke it personally.

Chen Xuan frowned, but didn't think too much about it and accepted it calmly.

"In that case, I'll head back now." He still had things to do, so he left first.

Having only been in this world for about half a month, I'm still unfamiliar with many things. It's time to pick up some books and study soul beasts and soul masters.

If you don't get used to those kaleidoscopes properly, you might not be able to use them well even in the finals.

The use of pupil techniques and pupil power, the conditions for activating Susanoo, etc., all require familiarity and training.

Not long after Chen Xuan left, it was Shrek Team's turn to play.

The personnel changes are minimal, remaining the same five: Dai Mubai, Tang San, Tai Long, Xiao Wu, and Jiang Zhu.

This time, Chen Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing were replaced by Jing Ling and Huang Yuan.

As the home team, the Shrek Seven Devils, following Yu Xiaogang's instructions, should try to hide their strength and let the substitutes play.

That day, Chen Xuan left alone and returned to his new home in the suburbs. He took the opportunity to teach Chen Yiyi some knowledge about soul masters.

On this day, besides familiarizing himself with the abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan, he also explored ninjutsu.

There was no one to teach me Wind Release, Lightning Release, or Taijutsu, and there were no ninjutsu scrolls available; I could only explore and experiment slowly.

Chen Xuan's experience over many days has taught him that the Rasengan is the best breakthrough point. This technique is the most versatile, and both the nature and form changes of chakra can be performed within the Rasengan.

Adding wind-style chakra allows it to develop in the direction of the Rasenshuriken, but unfortunately, at the current pace, it may still take a long time, at least half a month.

However, it wasn't without its gains. The current Rasengan incorporates wind-style chakra, resulting in a slight change in its form. It now faintly contains wind blades and is not the original form.

By incorporating lightning chakra into Boruto's method, one can create an invisible Rasengan.

"Sigh, this is a bit difficult." Chen Xuan is still trying, and it hasn't taken shape yet.

It wasn't that he lacked talent or effort; he simply had too little time. The entire journey took less than half a month, and he spent most of his time in competitions or on long journeys, leaving very little time for cultivation.

The Mangekyou Sharingan is not omnipotent; it doesn't mean that awakening it will instantly grant the ability to instantly activate the complete Susanoo—that's simply unrealistic.

Awakening these eyes doesn't automatically grant strength comparable to a Kage-level expert. First and foremost, one must have a solid foundation; chakra and physique are fundamental.

Moreover, being a Shadow-level expert isn't that impressive; in this world, it's at most equivalent to a Soul Douluo.

Most Soul Masters, once they reach the Soul Saint realm, can fly.

On the mainland, soul masters can repair severed hands and feet using soul bones, something that is extremely difficult to achieve in the Naruto world.

One thing they have in common is that even the strongest person will die if their head is cut off.

Unless you reach the level of Uchiha Madara, you can't stand at the top in this world.

A day passed quietly, and before we knew it, the sun was about to set.

"Strange, my physical skills have inexplicably improved?"

Chen Xuan made an astonishing discovery: after practicing the Thousand Birds technique for a day, his physique underwent significant changes, particularly in speed and strength.

He carefully explored the cause and finally attributed it to the lightning chakra. Lightning can stimulate cell activity, accelerate metabolism, and nourish the muscles.

Upon discovering this effect, Chen Xuan immediately released lightning, controlling the electric arc to the smallest possible degree, to baptize Chen Yiyi's physical body.

After half an hour, he found that the effect was not very noticeable, probably because it was the first time. He thought that if he tried a few more times, it would be fine.

"Brother, training is really tiring. Can we skip training tomorrow?" Chen Yiyi pleaded, her face covered in sweat, her white clothes already soaked through.

Chen Xuan withdrew his soul power and stopped, fearing he might damage Yi Yi's body.

The night was dark and the sky was pitch black. There were no stars or moon in the night sky tonight.

Nothing happened that night, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

In the morning, Chen Xuan arrived at the Tian Dou competition area and entered Shrek Academy's rest room.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong had already arrived and were sitting on the sofa.

As usual, I wait here every day for the results of the match draw.

Shortly after, the door to the lounge was pushed open, and Dai Mubai and Tang San walked in, bringing the results of the lottery.

Today, Shrek Academy faces slightly stronger opponents than yesterday, with two of them reaching the Soul Master level.

"Brother Dai, Third Brother, and Brother Chen, our Shrek team is all Soul Masters! This preliminary tournament championship is practically ours for the taking!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed.

He genuinely wanted to go on stage, showcase the transformed Evil Fire Phoenix, and let the Heavenly Dou Royal Family know his power.

Once, at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng tried to expel Shrek Academy from the school and severely humiliated Flander and Yu Xiaogang.

"Those arrogant nobles will regret their decision that day sooner or later. How foolish it was to drive away Shrek Academy," Dai Mubai sneered.

No matter what kind of opponent they encounter, the Shrek team is not worried. Their lineup of all Soul Masters is the only one in the preliminaries to achieve this.

Next, we just have to wait for the master to arrange the lineup.

Shortly afterward, Chen Xuan was informed that he would not be playing today, and that Jing Ling and Huang Yuan would be the ones to compete.

"This is the master's intention again," he asked calmly, without any emotion.

"That's right."

Tyrone nodded, as if he had thought of something, and added, "Xuanzi, don't overthink it. I think the master must have his reasons for arranging it this way. Besides, this is also a better way to hide the strength of Shrek Academy."

"I didn't think too much about it, you're overthinking it," Chen Xuan replied.

Fat-headed Ma Hongjun came over, nudged his shoulder, chuckled, and said, "Brother Chen, you're really loyal! You finally came to keep me and Rongrong company."

Then, he wailed that the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul was too special, and Yu Xiaogang refused to let him play. He was so tired of sitting in the audience that he could only watch his teammates compete from the back.

Chen Xuan reached out and pushed the big pig's head aside, then walked away, adding casually, "Are you sure it's really because of your special martial soul, or some other reason?"

After saying that, he walked out of the rest area, leaving Ma Hongjun behind him looking completely bewildered.

Chen Xuan did not intend to watch the competition in the competition area, so he withdrew first and left the Tiandou competition area.

He could also take this opportunity to properly develop his ninjutsu and not waste any time.

The sun was high in the sky, and the midday sun was particularly scorching, making the heat unbearable.

Chen Xuan walked alone down the street, passing one familiar road after another, the road back to the suburbs.

After leaving the bustling area, the number of pedestrians gradually decreased, and the empty streets could only be seen with a few scattered figures.
