Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: New Mission

"Crazy."

Qing Liu pouted, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

The Little Loli's idea was pretty good, but he had just extracted a tiny bit of Chakra. What good could it do?

Winning was expected, but losing would be a huge embarrassment.

Being beaten by a six-year-old Little Loli was even more upsetting than being beaten by a monkey!

However, just as Qing Liu was about to refuse, the system prompt sounded again in his mind—

[Ding, as the future Spirit King who will control the Three Realms, the Host's legendary path will be full of challenges. The Host must fear no challenge from any Shinigami!

Mission Release: Defeat challenger Ochiai Rumi!

Mission Reward: Bakudo #1: Void!]

Qing Liu: "..."

Good news, the system released another mission.

Bad news, the system really had a bug.

Who was Ochiai Rumi?

He didn't know... Well, it was normal for the system to treat the Ninja Academy as the Central 46 Spirit Arts Academy and Kurenai Yuhi as a stranger... Ochiai Rumi might be some minor character in the Bleach World?

Not bothering with that, Qing Liu changed his tone, as if he hadn't been the one who wanted to refuse just now: "But then again..."

He spoke with conviction, considering Kurenai Yuhi: "Uncle Shinhong said that extracting Chakra within a few days makes one a genius, and I did it in ten seconds, which makes me a genius among geniuses."

"If I drag it out too long, it's really unfair to Kurenai. She might even try to renege, so I agree. We'll have our spar tonight!"

Oh well, since the system released a mission, could he really refuse?

Although the reward was only the lowest-ranked Bakudo, having it was a gain.

A tiny Little Loli, how ridiculous, how ridiculous. What if she had been extracting Chakra for half a year?

Wasn't she still a Little Loli?

He could handle her in minutes!

"Really?" Kurenai Yuhi didn't care that Qing Liu looked down on her. What needed to be done now was to quickly decide who was the older brother and who was the older sister.

She put her hands on her hips: "Then it's settled, neither of us can back out. Father, you be the witness!"

Shinku Yuhi glanced at Qing Liu, just smiled, and nodded: "Alright then, I'll be the witness."

Qing Liu rubbed Yūhi Shinnō's little head, giving her a head pat: "Kurenai, just be a good little sister, big brother will take good care of you!"

Kurenai Yuhi slapped away Qing Liu's mischievous hand and snorted: "It's not certain who will win or lose yet, we'll see!"

...Afternoon.

After lunch.

Qing Liu continued to extract Chakra in the backyard.

Feeling the Chakra flowing within him, Qing Liu stroked his chin and murmured to himself: "As expected, I need to progress step by step. Talent only determines future achievements."

"The realization of talent takes time. Just because I start stronger than others doesn't mean I can become strong by idling without training or cultivation..."

It was likely due to his outstanding talent that Qing Liu's Chakra extraction speed was not slow.

However, due to his body not being fully developed yet, or perhaps because it was his first time extracting Chakra.

The amount of Chakra in his body was not much.

He estimated it wasn't enough to support even an E-rank Ninjutsu... Qing Liu made a judgment: "Do I still need to let my body adapt? In the original work, Kakashi graduated at five years old, already at Genin level. It's impossible for him to have only this much Chakra..."

Understanding this, Qing Liu felt relieved; he needed to take it one step at a time.

The system being activated and the rewards taking effect had already made Qing Liu overjoyed. He didn't expect the system to directly reward him with invincibility... The system had already made it clear that he would gradually achieve the legendary life of a Spirit King, step by step, which meant the system wouldn't let him reach the top in a single bound... Qing Liu began to consider other matters—how to defeat Kurenai Yuhi in the spar tonight!

This spar had to be won. Calling a Little Loli 'older sister' was a terrifying thought!

In these two months, Qing Liu hadn't seen Kurenai Yuhi learn Ninjutsu or combat techniques from Shinku Yuhi. Her daily routine consisted of appropriate training and Chakra extraction.

Allowing her Chakra to steadily increase.

At just six years old, building a solid foundation was the most important thing.

However, Kurenai Yuhi's Chakra volume and physical fitness were definitely stronger than Qing Liu's.

But that was her only advantage.

She didn't know Ninjutsu or combat techniques, so she couldn't fully utilize this advantage.

As for Qing Liu, well, when he was bored in his previous life, he had even signed up for martial arts classes.

Combat techniques were debatable, but he did have some fighting skills.

Coupled with his ability to freely control the Chakra in his body, even if the amount wasn't much, this was Qing Liu's advantage.

This round, it's a sure win!

Just then, Shinku Yuhi walked over, raising an eyebrow at Qing Liu: "I've never seen you work so hard before, but too much is as bad as too little. You've only just started extracting Chakra, don't hurt yourself."

Qing Liu spread his hands: "I can't really lose to Kurenai, can I? As her older brother, I can't afford to lose face!"

"Then why did you agree to spar with Kurenai tonight? She's taking it seriously and racking her brain trying to figure out how to beat you..."

"Pressure creates motivation. It's good for her and good for me."

Shinku Yuhi laughed wryly and teased: "I'd actually like to see you lose to Kurenai and call her 'older sister.' That would be very interesting..."

Qing Liu's mouth twitched: "That's highly unlikely."

After a pause, Qing Liu remembered something and asked: "By the way, Uncle Shinhong, I just thought of a way to use Chakra. Do you think it's feasible?"

Shinku Yuhi was a little surprised: "Oh? What method of application?"

Qing Liu said: "Besides releasing Ninjutsu, Chakra should also be able to be used directly for attack, right? For example, at the moment of attack, if Chakra is instantly released at specific acupoints, can it enhance the power of the attack?"

Shinku Yuhi was greatly surprised after hearing this: "You thought of this yourself?"

Of course it was possible. Lady Tsunade, one of the Sannin, was very skilled at this type of attack. Qing Liu actually came up with this method himself?

What kind of genius was this?

Qing Liu nodded: "A sudden inspiration."

Of course, it wasn't a sudden inspiration. As a transmigrator, Qing Liu had quite an imagination.

Plus, the original work also showed this application of Chakra.

Tsunade and the Hyuga Clan were both Ninjas proficient in this art, just with different focuses: one on striking, the other on acupoint manipulation.

The reason he asked was because Qing Liu had tried it just now, but... the effect was almost nonexistent.

He wanted to get some advice from Shinku Yuhi, a Jonin.

To see if the other party could offer some constructive suggestions.

If he could master this technique, the spar tonight would be even more secure. That's right, Qing Liu was that cautious!

'This kid is indeed a genius!' Shinku Yuhi took a deep breath and nodded: "It is indeed possible. Lady Tsunade, one of the Sannin, is a Ninja highly skilled in this technique."

"However, achieving it is not easy. It requires precise control of Chakra, timing, and accurate adjustment of the Chakra amount. Even I haven't reached that level..."

Knowing the general principle and being able to do it are two different things.

It's like the Rasengan. The principle is simply to condense Chakra in your hand, making it flow continuously in different directions and compress it to form a high-density, rotating Chakra sphere.

Sounds simple, right?

But without a teacher, you wouldn't make a sound trying to learn it!
