Woah, someone committed suicide! Upon seeing someone fall into the water, an ability user practicing water dragon technique nearby exclaimed in shock.
With his concentration broken, the slender water dragon he had condensed instantly dispersed into spray.
The black cat on the shore also meowed anxiously, pacing back and forth, wanting to go into the water but too afraid.
Don't panic, watch me use water rope technique to pull him up! A young man with messy hair said calmly, reaching his hand into the water and quickly pulling out a rope condensed from water. However, it only extended two meters before completely breaking.
Stop dawdling, don't you know your own weight! Hmph, acting all cool here!
Beside the water rope technique youth, a burly man about 1.8 meters tall cursed, already starting to take off his clothes. Just as he was about to jump in, a hand emerged from the water and then braced itself on the surface.
Yu Zhibo climbed out of the water, using his right hand as support, then knelt on the water surface. However, because he wasn't used to attaching spiritual energy to his knees, he ended up kneeling for nothing and almost fell back into the water.
Since someone had been practicing abilities not long ago, the water surface was still rippling and not calm, which directly increased the difficulty of his water-walking.
It seems walking on water is harder than I thought! he murmured. Yu Zhibo raised his head and gave a friendly smile to those who wanted to save him, signaling that he was fine. However, since he was wearing a mask, they couldn't see it, so he squinted his eyes to indicate he was smiling.
Then, he tried kneeling again. This time, he finally managed to kneel steadily, and then he carefully, tremblingly stood up.
The miraculous scene caused an uproar among the crowd. Everyone stopped what they were doing, afraid of startling the young man and causing him to fall into the water again.
Yu Zhibo closed his eyes and carefully felt the flow of spiritual energy. Unexpectedly, his mind inadvertently sank into his ability core.
Then, he was surprised to find that the Mangekyo-shaped sequence core, as it rotated, slowly emitted a white energy that merged with the spiritual energy into a thread, flowing together to his feet, causing his feet to be firmly attached to the water surface.
Is it because of the ability core that I can walk on water? Does this mean no one else can walk on water besides me? Yu Zhibo harbored such a guess but was not certain, as water-walking was not a ninjutsu, but merely a technique for utilizing chakra/spiritual energy.
I wonder what would happen if I used the Great Fireball Technique! As this thought arose, he performed the hand seals in two seconds, used twenty points of spiritual energy, and blew out a small fireball.
As expected, he found that when he used the Great Fireball Technique to mobilize spiritual energy, the sequence core in his dantian integrated a trace of red energy into it.
Therefore, to use any skill with Naruto characteristics in this world, the special energy from a ninja sequence core is required. No wonder the system said that in this world, besides me who possesses a ninja sequence core, no one else can learn ninjutsu, not even taijutsu with Naruto characteristics.
Upon discovering this, Yu Zhibo felt that falling into the water was not in vain.
At the same time, he vaguely realized that there might be skills similar to ninjutsu in this world, and even stronger than ninjutsu at the same level, but the principle of casting them would definitely be different.
This included water-walking.
Is this the sequence core with ninjutsu characteristics? I love it! Yu Zhibo's lips curved slightly. He felt the flow of spiritual energy beneath his feet and then began to walk slowly on the water.
Amidst gasps of surprise, his movements transitioned from walking to a light jog, then to a normal run, and finally to a ninja run, until he was dashing like lightning across the lake, as if on flat ground.
Haha! Yu Zhibo let out a hearty laugh, then deactivated his Sharingan and continued running.
Holy cow! So cool! The onlookers exclaimed with envy, which slightly satisfied Yu Zhibo's vanity.
It was only after ten minutes, having completely mastered the water-walking skill, that he rushed ashore. Under the admiring gaze of the water-element ability user with messy hair, he asked the other to extract the water from his clothes before leaving with the black cat, Moyu, leaving behind a legend.
In the following days, a strange phenomenon occurred here: people kept falling into the water, then getting up and falling again. After much trial and error, someone actually learned to walk on water, though their movements were not as fluid as Yu Zhibo's.
This is a story for another time.
After leaving with Moyu, Yu Zhibo went to the training room to condense spiritual energy.
These were three specialized training rooms, equipped with an internal air circulation system and a spirit-gathering device at the air intake, which could double the training speed of awakened individuals compared to outside. The cost was 1 merit point per hour.
Yu Zhibo checked the time and found it was already two in the afternoon. He had an appointment with Commander Yang at eight for a mission, so he paid for five hours at once.
Here, he had to be grateful that his Huawei phone was powerful and still usable after falling into the water, although the sound was not great and would likely take some time to recover.
He opened the Sacred app, scanned the QR code to pay the merit points, and started the timer. Instantly, a gentle breeze blew in. He opened his Sharingan and could feel the spiritual energy contained within.
Without hesitation, he sank his mind into his Mangekyo and began to absorb the light spiritual energy from the air.
As the sequence core operated, the spiritual energy around the training room rapidly surged into his body.
In his dantian, the resplendent Mangekyo spun rapidly, continuously absorbing spiritual energy, then slowly growing, and gradually increasing his spiritual energy storage limit.
200 spiritual points, 201, 202300400
If F-class had a spiritual energy limit of 100, then E-class had a much higher spiritual energy upper limit, ranging from 101 points to a maximum of 1000 points.
As for mental power and strength, reaching 400 Hertz and 400 kilograms respectively would qualify one for D-class.
D-class mental power and strength were in the range of 4001000.
Strictly speaking, 620 Hertz of mental power was only early D-class. The reason Li Fang felt the pressure of mid-D-class from Yu Zhibo was mainly due to the amplification effect of the Sharingan on his mental power.
Currently, Yu Zhibo, cultivating with 620 mental power integrated into his sequence core, was equivalent to a Golden Core stage cultivator falling to the late Foundation Establishment stage and re-cultivating. Further progress was only a matter of time. There was no bottleneck at all between peak E-class and early D-class, it only required time for the body to accumulate and adapt.
It was precisely because of this that Li Fang did not treat him as a junior. Otherwise, no matter how high his talent, given Li Fang's personality, he would have at least put him in his place and acted a bit arrogant.
And it was only after Yu Zhibo's spiritual energy storage limit increased to 400 that the spiritual energy absorbed by the Mangekyo stopped increasing the storage limit and instead began to diffuse the absorbed spiritual energy to various parts of his body, including the brain, slowly transforming his body.
Then, his mental power, strength, agility, and stamina began to increase comprehensively.
Time flies when cultivating. Five hours passed quickly. When the prompt bell rang in the training room, Yu Zhibo slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, the black cat in his arms was sleeping soundly.
It's time to start preparing for the mission. I have enough spiritual energy now, and I'm only ten energy points short. After the mission, I can learn the Body Flicker Technique, which is said to be comparable to space-time ninjutsu! Yu Zhibo chuckled, his eyes filled with anticipation.
With improved abilities, how could he not check his status panel?
So, Yu Zhibo sank his mind into his mind. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to open the system's witty commentary as well. The specific data was as follows:
