Chapter 41: The rest of you, take on me!
Gentle Fist emphasizes the precise application of chakra into the opponent's body, damaging their meridian system and internal organs.
But now, he couldn't even touch Qingyu's clothes, and his chakra was being rapidly depleted by the continuous bombardment of water bullets and flames.
Hyuga Osamu once again attempted to break through.
He exerted force with his feet, using the gap in the moment of shattering a water bullet to concentrate chakra in the soles of his feet, suddenly increasing his speed.
This is also a usage of the "Instantaneous Movement Technique".
Hyuga Osamu's face lit up with joy.
If he took just one more step, his soft fists could touch Qingyu's body.
Unfortunately, Qingyu used "Fire Release: Snake Bullet" again, forcing him to roll to the side to dodge.
Embarrassed.
That was so embarrassing.
Hyuga Osamu got up from the ground, his white robes covered in dirt and grass clippings.
His chakra was already more than half depleted, and his stamina was constantly being overdrawn.
Qingyu stood still, her breathing perfectly steady.
Bagua Empty Palm!
Hyuga Osamu gritted his teeth and unleashed a palm strike from a distance.
An invisible air cannon shot out from his palm, heading straight for Qingyu with a low whistling sound.
Qingyu ducked, and the air cannon grazed his shoulder, slamming into the ground behind him and creating a shallow crater.
Then he formed the hand seal again.
Fire Release: Snake Bullet.
Hyuga Osamu could only quickly dodge, the flames grazing his robes and scorching a small patch of the hem.
His face was full of frustration.
I've never encountered an opponent like Qingyu before!
However, this was precisely the flaw that Qingyu had been waiting for.
The next moment, Qingyu pushed off with his feet and used "Instantaneous Movement Technique" to instantly cross the distance between the two.
Just as Hinata Haru had regained his footing, Kiyoha's fist had already landed on his chest.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, Hyuga Osamu was knocked off his feet and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground.
Kakashi stood on the sidelines, watching Qingyu straighten up after putting down his fist, and his heart skipped a beat.
It turns out that besides swordsmanship, Qingyu can also use ninjutsu in this way.
Kakashi initially thought Kiyoyu's strength came from his swordsmanship talent, but now it seems that his ninjutsu skills are equally astonishing.
The user alternates between Fire Release and Water Release techniques, using ranged firepower to suppress the Gentle Fist's advance, and finally finishes off the opponent with taijutsu when their stamina is depleted.
From beginning to end, Hyuga Osamu had absolutely no chance to fight back.
Kakashi silently reviewed the battle in his mind.
If he were the one on the field instead of Hyuga Osamu, he was confident he could do better, but whether he could beat Kiyoha...
Kakashi wasn't quite sure.
Will it win?
Sakumo Hatake noticed his son's confusion and gently placed his hand on his head.
Everyone has their own special talents.
Sakumo Hatake comforted Kakashi, a gentle smile on his face.
"Qingyu can switch freely between ninjutsu and swordsmanship because he has enough chakra to support this style of fighting. You don't need to imitate him; you just need to find the path that suits you best."
Kakashi was silent for a moment, then nodded.
On the sidelines, a sea deer stared wide-eyed, its jaw nearly dropping to the ground.
"Such a chakra level... I have to say, as expected of the Senju clan?"
This amount of chakra is considered above average among genin.
Moreover, this is only the amount of chakra displayed; Umino Shika doesn't know the exact amount of chakra she actually possesses.
Ninjas draw upon their chakra as needed, and can only gather a large amount of chakra in a short period of time.
But how old is Qingyu?
Kōji Kōji stood to the side, equally shocked.
He originally thought that even if Hyuga Haru couldn't win, he could at least force Kiyoha into a tough fight with the suppressive power of Gentle Fist.
As a result, throughout the entire battle, Hyuga Haru didn't even manage to touch Kiyoha's clothes.
This is no longer a matter of talent.
This child is surpassing his peers in every aspect.
"The victor is Qingyu!"
Umi-no-kasa snapped out of her daze and quickly announced loudly.
[Collectible trait detected: Pride of the Main Family]
[E-Rank Trait: The Pride of the Main Family]
[Effect: Increases the speed of practicing martial arts by 20%.]
Qingyu sheathed his sword and glanced at the text prompt that appeared before his eyes.
Another trait has been lost.
Although the effect doesn't match the "arrogance" in the name at all, it's probably because the system has transformed Hyuga Osamu's arrogant confidence into something positive.
Qingyu thought it was good too.
At least it's not limited to soft fist.
The speed of his fist technique training has increased by 20%, which will be of great help to his future training in physical techniques.
In the ninja world, besides Gentle Fist, Hard Fist is more prevalent.
This refers to direct physical attacks that primarily cause surface damage such as fractures; the "Eight Gates" is a representative taijutsu (body technique) among them.
Qingyu was very curious: if he learned the "Eight Gates Formation", wouldn't the power of the seventh gate, "Day Tiger", also increase?
For the "Eight Gates Formation", opening the seventh gate is the most cost-effective way to use it.
Because of the eighth gate, you will die.
Hyuga Osamu got up from the ground, his white eyes filled with resentment.
He instinctively wanted to say something harsh, but then he saw that there were too many people around, so he just dusted off the dirt on his clothes and turned back into the crowd.
No matter how stubborn he is, he can't change the fact that he was completely crushed by a junior freshman.
Uchiha Tsuchimon watched this scene from afar, stroking his chin.
"This guy..."
His gaze fell on Qingyu.
The fact that he could make that arrogant brat from the main branch of the Hyuga clan suffer a setback was enough to make him feel somewhat favorably toward Kiyoha.
And that last punch was so satisfying to watch.
This made Uchiha Tsuchimon even feel a sense of kinship with Kiyoha.
As expected of a ninja with our Uchiha bloodline.
Uchiha Tsuchimon's secret passage.
Can other ninja clans achieve such a level of genius?
That is to say, the Uchiha clan is able to consistently produce one genius after another!
Soon, just as Umino Shika was about to turn to the next page of the roster and prepare to read out the names of the next pair of sparring partners, Kiyoyu's voice rang out first.
"Mr. Umino."
Qingyu spoke.
"The rotation system is too slow; let's switch to a tournament system instead."
Qingyu made the suggestion.
"The rest of you can take on me. If I lose, I'll be out; if I win, we'll continue."
Qingyu felt that this was the only way to improve efficiency.
Otherwise, if he has to take turns fighting with Kakashi every now and then, how long will it last?
Uminoshi paused slightly in the roster in her hand, and looked up at Kiyoyu.
"Don't you want to rest for a bit first?"
Umino Shikamichi.
He felt that Qingyu was being a bit too presumptuous.
"Need not."
Qingyu shook her head.
Umino opened her mouth, unsure of what to say for a moment.
He had just witnessed Qingyu's strength with his own eyes.
However, any battle will inevitably consume chakra, cause muscle fatigue, and gradually reduce reaction speed.
Ninja battles are not simple additions and subtractions; the energy consumed in the previous battle will have a direct impact on the next battle—this is basic common sense.
Qingyu must know this principle.
Umino suddenly felt like she'd wasted her life on dogs.
No, are students these days really that good?
Unfortunately, he was just a commoner ninja, so there was basically no room for him to improve his strength.
