Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: If I Land This Punch, Kurenai Will Probably Cry for a Long Time, Right?

"So it's okay?"

Qing Liu pretended to ponder, then said, "Uncle Shinhong, I tried earlier, but the effect wasn't great. Can you help me see what went wrong?"

Shinku Yuhi's expression turned serious: "Try attacking the training post. I can't guarantee I'll pinpoint the problem, but I can certainly give you some advice."

"Alright." Qing Liu walked to the training post, took a deep breath, and threw a punch. At the same time, Chakra was released from his acupoints, sending a punch towards the post in front of him!

'Thud...'

A small muffled sound came, and the training post only shook slightly... 'As expected, extraordinary talent!' Shinku Yuhi couldn't help but exclaim in his heart as he watched Qing Liu's movements.

Only half a day had passed, and Qing Liu seemed to have a better grasp of Chakra control.

He was almost catching up to him, a Jonin.

He was once again shocked by Qing Liu's talent... Suppressing the shock in his heart, Shinku Yuhi was, after all, a Jonin and an instructor for Chunin and Genin. His eyesight was good, and he noticed a few things.

"Let me tell you what I've observed."

After a few seconds of contemplation, he said, "Although the Chakra is released instantly, the amount of Chakra is insufficient, the impact force is not strong enough, and it's not condensed enough. Most importantly, you subconsciously worry about your fist getting injured, so the gushing Chakra is used more for defense..."

Shinku Yuhi looked at Qing Liu's right fist and smiled, "Your fist hitting the training post probably didn't hurt, did it?"

"Is that so?" Qing Liu pondered, his fist indeed didn't hurt much.

In the original work, during Hyuga Neji's battle with Kidōmaru, a large amount of Chakra was continuously released, deflecting Kidōmaru's attacks... From this, it can be inferred that simply releasing Chakra can also be used for defense.

Qing Liu was worried about his fist getting injured or hurting, so he subconsciously used Chakra for defense instead of destruction.

That makes a lot of sense.

After all, if you're punching a wall instead of a sandbag, anyone would instinctively hold back, right?

Knowing the situation, Qing Liu's lips curved into a smile: "So, you're saying my resolve isn't strong enough?"

It's not that simple after all.

Interesting!

"Then again!"

Taking another deep breath, this time Qing Liu made up his mind, not considering whether he would get injured. He adopted a punching stance and threw another punch with all his might!

'Bang!'

Amidst the muffled sound, the next moment... Qing Liu shook his right hand, the pain from his fist making him grimace: "Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Shinku Yuhi: "..."

Where did this clown come from?

If you don't know it, you don't know it. What does it have to do with having enough resolve?

Should he take back what he said earlier again... Shinku Yuhi said speechlessly, "You only heard the second half of my sentence, didn't you? This technique isn't that easy to master, and I don't know how to either..."

"If you want to learn it, when Lady Tsunade, one of the Sannin, returns to the village, I can take you to visit her and see if she can guide you..."

Although it's a technique for using Chakra, it can also be considered a secret technique.

It's not that easy to learn by simply figuring it out yourself.

Since Qing Liu has this talent, he doesn't mind putting aside his pride to secure this opportunity for Qing Liu. Hmm... if it's Lady Tsunade, she'd probably agree if he paid her, right?

It's not about Lady Tsunade taking him as a disciple, just teaching and guiding him in this technique... "Lady Tsunade?"

A blonde older sister figure appeared in his mind. Qing Liu, also an admirer of older sisters, felt this was great. As a transmigrator, how could he not meet these original characters?

Especially Tsunade, this blonde older sister, Qing Liu really liked her in his previous life.

Qing Liu said, "I also admire Lady Tsunade very much. It would be even better to get her guidance, but for now, I'll try it myself first. Maybe I'll figure it out?"

"Haha, then I won't disturb you. Be careful, it's not worth it if you injure yourself." Shinku Yuhi reminded him with a smile.

He then left Qing Liu alone and departed.

Time to prepare dinner... "Got it."

Qing Liu replied, not continuing to cultivate. Instead, he sat on the steps, his mind rapidly pondering—how to learn this Chakra application technique?

"Chakra control is indeed key, but there should also be corresponding techniques. Insufficient impact force isn't just instantaneous Chakra release, but rather an instantaneous surge and burst of Chakra?"

Qing Liu found that ever since he received the system reward of "Spiritual Power Aptitude Enhancement."

His mind had become exceptionally sharp.

In his previous life, two-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division required some thought to get an answer. Now, three-digit calculations are done without thinking, the numbers appearing in his mind instantly.

He had some of his own conjectures about this Chakra application technique.

It should be that at the moment of attack, Chakra surges and bursts, creating an impact similar to an explosion, just like a one-inch punch, unleashing maximum power with the shortest distance.

The two have similarities.

He didn't go to the martial arts gym for nothing; at that time, his teacher taught him exactly the one-inch punch. Qing Liu was only half-proficient, but he had practiced it a bit and knew the principle.

With a conjecture, Qing Liu began to experiment.

For the rest of the afternoon, Qing Liu diligently practiced, refining this Chakra application technique.

When his Chakra was depleted, he would sit down and refine it; once refined, he would try again.

Unconsciously.

The amount of Chakra Qing Liu could refine had also grown significantly, estimated to be enough to perform a D-rank Ninjutsu with some left over... Congratulations!

"I seem to have found some tricks..."

After an afternoon of trying, Qing Liu gradually found some tricks. His eyes flashed, and he tried again.

He mobilized his Chakra, and his already broken and bleeding fist slammed into the training post without hesitation.

The moment his fist was about to hit the training post, Chakra surged and burst!

'Bang! Crack!'

With a muffled thud, the training post in front was struck as if by an iron hammer. Its surface cracked, wood chips flew, and the post was directly sent flying by Qing Liu's punch.

It slid several meters on the ground, stopping only after hitting the wall of the courtyard... A stinging pain came from his fist, which was bloody and mangled, but Qing Liu seemed not to feel it, his eyes filled only with excitement: "I did it, Daoist!"

Although it wasn't perfect, and his fist was injured as a result, it was a significant improvement.

To achieve this after only half a day of exploration, he was too amazing!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Qing Liu's lips curved into an arrogant arc: "Hehehe, if I land this punch, Kurenai will probably cry for a long time, right?"

"Ugh..." Kurenai Yuhi, who was secretly watching Qing Liu train from the side, shivered and her face turned pale when she heard Qing Liu's words.

She quickly scurried over, tugging on Qing Liu's sleeve and shaking it, revealing a pitiful expression: "Qing Liu, Qing Liu, I won't spar with you anymore, I surrender!"

She wanted to cry but couldn't. What kind of freak was Qing Liu?

How did he become so strong in just half a day?

If she really took a punch from Qing Liu, she felt she would truly cry for a long, long time...
