Chapter 53 Underwater Sparring
Chapter 53 Underwater Sparring
After calming herself down, Shenyue Xingyun looked at the dungeon rewards displayed by the system.
The first reward gave him a jolt.
Escape!
He remembered that this was Moonlight Gale's skill after he grew up, and it was very effective for intelligence gathering and infiltration. It also seemed to be a kind of bloodline limit. Level 3 was also the highest level skill he could currently obtain.
But Shenyue Xingyun thought about it and didn't rush to make a choice.
Bloodline limit sounds impressive, but the actual effects are vastly different.
While the ability to make the body transparent and conceal one's scent is effective against ninjas with strong senses, it loses its power once the ninja moves or is detected.
He remembered that Hayate Gekko was discovered while using his Transparent Path to eavesdrop on Maki and the others' conversation, and like all his predecessors who infiltrated the investigation, he met a very unpleasant end.
With Transcendence as an alternative, he looked at the next option.
Self-reward...
My mind went blank for a moment.
To avoid overlooking important skills due to misunderstandings of the name, he asked the system a question just to be on the safe side.
"System, this self-reward technique is my idea..." [Yes.]
The system responded very quickly.
Shenyue Xingyun stopped speaking, her gaze trembling slightly as she looked at the 'lv3' symbol behind her. She then shook her head in admiration and moved on to the next one.
The title you can wear is "Shadowless".
Currently, he only has one equippable title, and its effect is... very powerful. However, judging from the name "Shadowless," the specific skills of this title cannot be determined.
"System, can't you display a details page for the reward information?"
[Yes. Do you want to display content details?]
Shenyue Nebula: 'Display.'
[Details of the content have been set to be displayed...]
[Contrast system update 1%, please wait...]
Shenyue Xingyun: "..."
Did I do something wrong?
Even after Uzuki Yugao and Gekko Hayate left together, the system panel was still stuck at the 1% update screen. Kamitsuki Seiun simply closed the panel, out of sight, out of mind.
One day, two days, three days...
As time passed day by day, the system update seemed to be stuck, with no progress whatsoever.
Shenyue Xingyun regretted updating, but regret was useless. In order to divert his attention, he focused on cultivation and missions.
Do some low-level quests in the village with Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai.
Learning with Rin Nohara.
He honed his skills with his girlfriends and also practiced with Matt Kai. Life was peaceful and stable.
One early morning, at the Valley of the End.
In the hazy dawn light, atop each of the two enormous statues, a figure rose and fell, accompanied by shouts, and drops of sweat slid down.
It was the Divine Moon Nebula and Mighty.
Since being warned by the Uchiha Guards some time ago, the two have changed their daily morning training location from the main gate of Konoha to this place.
"Nine hundred and ninety-eight, nine hundred and ninety-nine... one thousand!" Might Guy's body was wrapped with weights of root-strength, and as his arms bent and straightened, his body rose and fell continuously. Even though sweat kept dripping down, his movements remained unchanged. When he counted to one thousand, he stopped and slowly stood up.
"nebula!"
"I'm done, hurry up and finish!" Might Guy shouted at the ever-undulating Divine Moon Nebula on the opposite statue.
The latter responded with difficulty, trembling as he sat and squatted.
"Almost done...wait a minute."
"Nine hundred and ninety-nine... one thousand." He maintained the same pace as Might Guy, except he wasn't wearing any weights. As he counted to one thousand, he breathed a sigh of relief and straightened up like Might Guy.
However, with a groan from his thigh muscles, he failed to get up and his knees buckled, causing him to sit back down.
"What's wrong, Nebula?" Might Guy asked with concern. "Do you need to rest?"
"No need!" Shenyue Xingyun replied without hesitation.
Immediately, he used both hands to vigorously and quickly knead his thigh muscles.
Damn leg! Get up!
A few seconds later, his leg muscles finally came to their senses, and he got up, gazing at Matt Kay across from him.
"Kai!"
"Let's go down and begin."
Across from him, Matt Kai shouted, "Get down?"
"Why aren't they here?"
Matt Kai looked at the rushing water between the two of them, a hint of excitement in his expression.
"How about we spar right here?"
Shenyue Xingyun looked at the lake that Might Guy was pointing to and was immediately puzzled.
Between the two of them, the lake water was turbulent, but that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that on one side of the lake was a waterfall.
With his less-than-skilled water-walking techniques, it wouldn't be an easy task for him to compete against Might Guy on this surface.
"What are you hesitating about?" Matt Kai shouted. "Nebula, how can you hesitate in the prime of your youth? Answer me with your heart, okay?"
"Sure! Why not!" Shenyue Xingyun answered instinctively.
How can a man say he can't do it?
Looking at the confident Might Guy opposite him, he took a deep breath.
The worst that can happen is a crushing defeat; it's not a big deal. Pressure is what drives progress.
"Kai! I'm here!" he shouted, as if to Might Guy or to encourage himself. Then he mustered his courage and took a big step forward.
"Splash!" A splash of water rose from the surface of the water.
With the thought that "I might just sink, since no one else will see me anyway," Shen Yue Xingyun held her breath and, ignoring the splashes she made on the water, stepped into the water with her other foot.
Then, step by step.
"Slap! Slap! Slap~! Slap~~"
He quickened his pace, his footsteps barely touching the water's surface, though not quite as smooth as walking on flat ground, but enough to prevent him from sinking in. If he wanted to spar, he'd probably be in the water in no time.
With a "what's done is done" attitude, he strode forward.
Upon seeing this, Matt Kai clenched his fists in excitement.
"Awesome! Nebula!"
"This is the kind of youthful showdown I've been looking for!"
"Come on, let me see just how much your strength has improved these past few days!"
As he spoke, he stepped into the water without hesitation.
Under the watchful gaze of Shenyue Xingyun, one step caused water to splash everywhere!
Two steps, and the water was over my knees!
In three steps, Matt Kay was submerged from the neck down.
Shenyue Xingyun was stunned for a moment.
The first thought that popped into my mind was, "The other side is planning to attack me from underwater."
Isn't this a bit bullying?
Then he saw Matt Kee completely submerged in the water, his right hand reaching out in vain as if trying to grab something.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
Shenyue Xingyun: "..."
If he wasn't mistaken, the other person had fallen into the water, right? They definitely had!!
In a daze, his pace faltered, and with the splash of cold water on his legs, he suddenly felt a sharp twitch in his thigh muscles.
"Oh no! My leg is cramping..."
