Upon sensing the signs of advancement, Yu Zhibo did not choose to advance on the Demon Rat Plains.
The reason was simple: firstly, the spiritual energy purified by lightning release in the air was not abundant enough; secondly, the secret realm was fraught with danger everywhere. He did not want to be ambushed by some bizarre secret realm creatures while halfway through his advancement.
Thus, his figure flickered, and he vanished from his original position, leaving a demon leopard that had been drawn by his aura and was preparing to ambush utterly confused.
Within his personal space, Yu Zhibo sat cross-legged. Externally, at the position of his dantian, a spiritual energy vortex, larger than any previous advancement, was madly devouring the spiritual energy within the space. Soon, all the spiritual energy in the space was consumed by the sequence core. Following this, the pile of light energy spirit crystals in the corner also began to volatilize at an accelerated rate.
Rumble
A sound, akin to the splitting of heaven and earth, audible only to himself, echoed. Yu Zhibo's sequence core spun furiously, grinding and compressing all the spiritual energy absorbed into it. Soon, within the circular space within the sequence core that contained the body's spiritual energy (hereafter referred to as the spiritual energy sphere), the liquid representing spiritual energy became denser and denser, causing his spiritual energy to increase from 3600 points to 5000 points.
The spiritual energy range for D-class was 1000-5000 points, and for C-class, it was 5000-20000.
When Yu Zhibo's spiritual energy reached 5000 points, the spiritual energy sphere within his sequence core became completely full. However, the sequence core's speed of absorbing spiritual energy did not slow down.
Soon, as the spiritual energy continued to increase, the sphere of the spiritual energy sphere became increasingly solid. Under the constant driving force of the sequence core, it spun and continuously compressed the spiritual energy liquid within it, making its density ever greater.
5100 points, 5500 points
The spiritual energy sphere did not grow larger, but the density of the spiritual energy liquid within it increased. By the time it finally settled completely, Yu Zhibo's spiritual energy had reached 9999 points, just a sliver away from the middle stage of C-class.
At this moment, the density of his spiritual energy had become as thick as baby food, with the possibility of solidification at any moment.
The hallmark of the middle stage of C-class was not reaching the midpoint value of 12500 points within the 5000-20000 spiritual energy range, but rather crossing the extreme of 9999 spiritual energy points. Upon reaching ten thousand, the center of the spiritual energy sphere would begin to solidify, condensing into a core of spiritual energy, which was the standard for entering the middle stage of C-class.
Once the spiritual energy began to solidify, it not only accelerated the speed at which spiritual energy reached the body's meridians and shortened skill casting times, but it also allowed superhumans to use that solidified point of spiritual energy core to detonate the spiritual energy within the spiritual energy sphere, unleashing a blow that surpassed their own strength.
In a desperate situation, they could also use that single solidified spiritual energy core to detonate the spiritual energy sphere simultaneously, and then use the spiritual energy sphere to detonate the sequence core, self-destructing and taking the enemy with them.
This point was exclusive to human and demon race C-class superhumans.
After the increase in spiritual energy stopped, Yu Zhibo's sequence core paused for a moment, then began to spin wildly again.
Outside his body, the spiritual energy vortex reformed, madly plundering the spiritual energy within the space and then transporting it to all parts of his body, rapidly transforming his physique.
Crackling sounds~
Yu Zhibo's body began to crackle, and he felt tearing pain throughout his body. His cells were constantly dividing and reorganizing, repairing all hidden injuries while rapidly strengthening his body. Finally, after the body modification was complete, a mysterious energy surged into his brain, beginning to improve and enhance his brain's structure.
His brain development increased. Yu Zhibo did not know the specific numerical value, but he could feel that his mind was clearer than ever before. If he studied diligently, he would undoubtedly become a top student in a short period.
As the body's brain modification was completed, his mental power also began to soar at a terrifying speed, directly increasing from 2600 Hertz to 4999 Hertz, still just a sliver away from B-class.
With the surge in mental power, Yu Zhibo only felt a slight pressure in his head. In a daze, he had an epiphany: the reason his mental power did not break through to B-class directly, as it had before, was mainly because mental power beyond B-class undergoes a qualitative change, and this change was something his current physical strength could not bear.
To withstand it, he would need to reach at least the middle stage of C-class.
In summary, as long as his physical strength could keep up, everything would naturally fall into place.
His spiritual energy was just a bit short of breaking through to the middle stage of C-class, and his mental power was just a bit short of breaking through to B-class. This was too much.
Yu Zhibo shook his head in disappointment, feeling a bit mundane.
Then, he shifted his attention to the system panel:
【Host: Yu Zhibo

Main Mission: 326/200 (Completed)】
After reviewing the attribute panel, Yu Zhibo let out a long sigh and directly clicked on the Earth attribute spiritual energy development pack. Instantly, his body underwent some inexplicable change, and his skin seemed to have become a bit tougher.
Without rushing to learn Earth Style Ninjutsu, Yu Zhibo directly clicked to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.
【Flying Thunder God Technique: An S-class space ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. It utilizes a special formula to achieve instantaneous movement. Before use, the caster must first leave a Flying Thunder God formula on the target to perform instantaneous movement, and the mark will remain permanently. The caster can transfer large targets multiple times when energetic. This technique can be used for offense, shortening the distance of long-range ninjutsu, disruption, surprise attacks on opponents, and transferring targets. It can also be used for evasion and escape in critical moments. No hand seals are required for activation.】
It took Yu Zhibo a full five minutes to completely digest and master the information of the Flying Thunder God Technique. With his mental power, the maximum displacement distance was about 50 kilometers. Moreover, in addition to mental power, long-distance teleportation required a large amount of spiritual energy.
"I wonder how many energy points it will take to upgrade the Flying Thunder God Technique to mastery," Yu Zhibo murmured and clicked on the Flying Thunder God button. Immediately, a line of information appeared: "Upgrading requires 1,000,000 energy points. Current energy points are insufficient."
"Good heavens, 1,000,000 points!" Yu Zhibo almost peed himself, but after seeing the attributes upon mastery, he became eager again. It read:
【Mastery Level Flying Thunder God Technique: Enables long-distance inter-spatial teleportation, similar to instantaneous movement used by Goku in Dragon Ball, but still requires leaving a mark on the target!】
"One million points, I'm out," Yu Zhibo temporarily gave up the idea of upgrading the Flying Thunder God Technique and then prepared to see which Earth Style ninjutsu were worth learning. However, while passing through the Lightning Release section, he suddenly discovered a new ninjutsu had been added.
【Lightning Release: Illusion of Lightning Pillars (A-class), 15,000 energy points: This skill is an Earth Style illusion from the anime, performed by the all-around elite Jonin of the Hidden Cloud, Darui. The skill effect is to transform the entire body into electric light, making the opponent mistakenly believe it is a ninjutsu that obstructs vision, thus falling for the illusion.
Skill evaluation: This is a slightly modified skill by the system. It is a ninjutsu that is enough to blind the enemy's dog eyes. When Lightning Release spiritual energy is released from the body, it will impose a certain burden on the body, thus requiring a certain level of physical strength. After use, the neurons will be strongly affected by the Lightning Release spiritual energy, resulting in a significant increase in the caster's speed and strength in a short period.
With it, you too can become light!】
"This is too flashy!"
As expected, system products are always top-notch. Yu Zhibo was delighted after reading the skill description. Checking his energy points, after learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, he had 79,847 points left. He decisively chose to learn it.
After learning this skill, he turned his attention back to the Earth Style ninjutsu sequence.
After searching for a long time, he couldn't find the Particle Style. He directly asked the system: "System, why are there no Dust Release series ninjutsu?"
Dust Release was one of the Third Tsuchikage's techniques, a combination of offense and barrier ninjutsu. Based on a linear range, it could decompose opponents at the molecular level, making them unrepairable. Not only was the range expanded and the power increased, but it also had a continuous effect. Anything approaching the limit of Particle Style would turn into an atomic state. It once destroyed twenty-five Wood Style clones of Madara Uchiha's Susanoo in a single blow.
With such immense power, how could Yu Zhibo not covet it?
Upon hearing his question, the system, rarely, replied with a message that appeared in his mind: "Dust Release is formed by the fusion of wind, earth, and fire nature transformations. The host has not met the generation conditions."
"Alright!" Yu Zhibo sighed in disappointment and then refocused his attention on Earth Style ninjutsu.
There were too many Earth Style ninjutsu available for learning in the system store, such as Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu, Earth Style: Mud Wall, Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet, Hidden Rock Technique, Earth Dragon Rock Hiding Technique, and so on.
More famous ones included Earth Style: Mud Wall, with its extremely strong defense, and Earth Style: Super Weighted Rock Technique, frequently used by the Third Tsuchikage. As for Earth Style ninjutsu that changed terrain, there were even more, including the enhanced version of Mud Wall, Earth Style: Thousand Mile Mud Wall, which could directly create earth walls as tall as the Great Wall, as well as Transformative Technique, Earth Core, Earth Flow River, Swamp of the Underworld, and Hardening Technique to enhance one's defense, etc.
In addition, there were also Earth Style Barrier: Earth Prison Dome of the Prison, Earth Style: Iron Prison, and many other ninjutsu for trapping enemies.
Offensive ones included Earth Release: Devouring Earth, Earth Mausoleum Dumpling, Earth Spear, Headhunter Jutsu, Rock Pillar Spear, etc.
As for those used for reconnaissance/escape, there were Earth Dragon Rock Hiding Technique, Hidden Rock Technique for traversing rocks and soil, and Subterranean Voyage Technique, which turned sand and stones into fluid, allowing one to navigate through the earth, etc.
The numerous ninjutsu made Yu Zhibo dizzy and dazzled. Soon, he decisively chose to learn the information reconnaissance and escape-oriented [Earth Style: Earth Dragon Rock Hiding Technique], [Hidden Rock Technique], and [Subterranean Voyage]. These skills would allow him to ambush and escape more conveniently.
Moreover, after learning these skills, he automatically comprehended [Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu]. This was because the essence of this skill was to burrow underground and then drag the enemy to the surface. Clearly, the system noticed this, and the price was directly reduced from 1000 points to 10 points, but Yu Zhibo was not fooled.
Next were the defensive skills, among which [Earth Style: Mud Wall] was a must-learn. After mastering this skill, it could be used to create large-scale defensive walls to resist enemies, making it a classic defensive ninjutsu and particularly cool.
In addition to these skills, he also learned the terrain-altering Earth Style skills: Transformative Technique, Earth Core, Earth Flow River, and Swamp of the Underworld.
Also, Hardening Technique, after learning, could harden rock and soil, covering the body to enhance defense. Learn it!
Right, Earth Style: Body Replacement Technique, which could directly summon a replacement using mud and rocks as a medium, also needed to be learned.
Then came the offensive ones like Rock Pillar Spear, Mud Flow, Earth Dragon, Earth Spear, etc.
He did not learn all the skills. Some ninjutsu principles were common, only slightly altered in form. Just as he could change Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Slaying Tiger into Lightning Cat Slaying Tiger and still use a bit more chakra, he could also change Earth Style: Mud Wall into Earth Style: Thousand Mile Mud Wall to create city walls.
In addition to these basic Earth Style skills, he learned Earth Style: Super Weighted Rock Technique, which was the most expensive, costing a total of 25,000 energy points. After learning it, he automatically comprehended two A-class Earth Style ninjutsu: [Earth Style: Weighted Rock Technique] and [Earth Style: Light-Weighted Rock Technique].
The numerous Earth Style ninjutsu, after learning, cost over 40,000 points in total. Combined with the 15,000 points for Lightning Release: Illusion of Lightning Pillars, Yu Zhibo's energy points were reduced to only 26,480 points.
"What other skills are there?" Yu Zhibo pondered for a moment and turned his gaze to the Rasengan.
"System, I've watched the anime, and I know the principle of the Rasengan. Are you sure you want to sell it for 10,000?" Yu Zhibo looked at the Rasengan, which the system was selling for 10,000 points, and immediately asked.
Knowing the principle of the technique, he could develop it directly. Moreover, the higher the superhuman's level, the deeper the brain's development and the higher the intelligence. With the principle known, it would not be difficult for him to research the Rasengan, it would only require some time.
As he voiced his question, after three seconds, the learning price for the Rasengan dropped directly from 10,000 points to 250 points. This was probably the system's last bit of stubbornness.
Yu Zhibo chuckled and immediately clicked to learn.
"250 points, I don't care!"
Thus, with his level advancing to C-class and the learning of a series of skills, Yu Zhibo's strength had improved terrifyingly at this moment!
As for how terrifying it was, it still needed more powerful enemies to certify.
