With the Naruto world's ascension, every internal law underwent a profound elevation and transformation.
During this process, the rules Hikaru had already comprehended began to resonate mysteriously with the world's evolving laws—bringing his own understanding to an entirely new level.
He could feel it clearly.
The moment when his abilities would break through to Level 2 was almost within reach.
That near-tangible sensation filled Hikaru's heart with excitement and anticipation.
Tongtian Jiaozhu, as a Saint, naturally sensed the changes occurring within Hikaru.
True to the saying "a good man sees it through to the end," he decided to lend the boy one more helping hand.
With a calm smile, he began to share his unique insights on the laws of reality.
Tongtian's voice seemed to carry a mystical rhythm, and Hikaru was instantly immersed in it.
His explanation was both profound and approachable—turning complex principles into something clear and understandable.
In that moment, it felt as if a new world was gently unfolding before Hikaru's eyes.
As the Saint spoke, the skies seemed to rain with flowers, and golden lotuses blossomed across the earth.
Thankfully, Tongtian had sealed this space beforehand—otherwise, just the sound of his lecture would have sent shockwaves across the myriad worlds.
Even a shallow explanation from a Saint could benefit countless beings across creation.
As Hikaru listened with full focus, the system's notification suddenly rang in his mind, shattering the serene atmosphere.
The interruption pulled him out of that rare enlightenment state, and Tongtian paused his lecture.
Hikaru frowned in frustration. He felt he had just missed a perfect chance to level up.
But he quickly calmed himself, taking a deep breath and offering a relaxed smile.
He knew some things couldn't be forced.
If it's meant to be, it will come. If it's lost—then perhaps it was never mine.
With the Idle Training System backing him, Hikaru believed it was only a matter of time before his abilities leveled up fully.
No need to be fixated on short-term gain or loss.
He quickly steadied his heart and looked toward Tongtian Jiaozhu with gratitude in his eyes.
Even though the lecture had been cut short, he had still gained deep insights into rules he'd never fully grasped before.
"Thank you for your teachings, Senior Tongtian. I've learned more than I can say." Hikaru bowed in sincere thanks.
Tongtian simply waved a hand, signaling there was no need to be so formal.
He looked at Hikaru with admiration in his eyes.
This young man's talent and mindset had both earned his respect.
He truly believed Hikaru had a boundless future ahead.
"Since you've already grasped the essence, I'll say no more."
Tongtian Jiaozhu continued:
"The road ahead must be walked by you alone. You must seek, explore, and put knowledge into practice.
Remember—the path of the laws has no end. Only through constant pursuit and application can one reach true understanding."
Hikaru nodded with full respect, committing the words to memory.
He understood—this was not just advice. It was the expectation of a true master, a compass for the road ahead.
Then, Tongtian took out a treasured item and handed it to Hikaru.
"This is my personal token. Keep it with you.
If you ever encounter someone from my Sect in the future, show them this—they'll know who you are and won't trouble you."
As Hikaru received the token, waves of joy surged through his heart.
With this, it was as if he now had Tongtian Jiaozhu's personal protection.
Who in the myriad worlds would dare disrespect him now?
This token was nothing less than a great shield and a precious boon.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Senior Tongtian!" Hikaru said with excitement.
He was well aware of how rare and powerful this token was.
Tongtian smiled and nodded. Then his figure slowly became ethereal—until it faded entirely.
He knew his fate with Hikaru had run its course.
The path forward would be one the young man had to walk alone.
But he had no doubt—Hikaru would carve out a brilliant road of his own.
Only after Tongtian Jiaozhu's departure did the frozen world return to normal.
Hikaru stood still for a moment, then began examining his new harvest.
He whispered in his mind: "Open system panel."

Looking at the Idle Speed panel, Hikaru nodded with satisfaction.
By his estimates, with the current idle bonus, he would likely achieve his next major upgrade in just a few years.
Reflecting on his earlier fear and hesitation, Hikaru felt a surge of relief.
Had he run away back then out of fear, he might still be stuck, worrying about how to break through to the second level.
But now, not only had he crossed that bottleneck—he had gained far more than he ever imagined.
At this moment, Hikaru finally understood—
That cryptic message from the system when he entered The Outcast world…
It had been Tongtian Jiaozhu's arrangement all along.
He didn't believe in coincidences. Not of this scale.
Behind every so-called accident was a hidden thread of inevitability.
And looking back, the results spoke for themselves.
He hadn't just received priceless guidance and a powerful token—he had come to realize something even more critical:
His system wasn't ordinary.
It had resisted Tongtian Jiaozhu's hidden interference…
And even blocked a Saint's detection.
That wasn't something a regular system could do.
Hikaru now understood—the power and potential hidden within his system was unimaginable.
And that only strengthened his belief…
His path ahead would reach farther—and shine brighter—than anyone could imagine.
