Chapter 18

【"Are you saying that my taijutsu is ineffective on your body?" Xiao Li asked Yitai, dodging his attack. Yitai kept belittling Xiao Li while attacking: "I don't know who your master is, but he must be a mediocre person!"】

【Although the body covered by rocks was very heavy, Yitai's speed was not as slow as expected. Xiao Li was hit and sent flying again. 】

【Lying on the ground, Xiao Li's voice gradually became angry: "It's okay to say bad things about me, but if you say bad things about Teacher Kai, I will never forgive you!"】

【Curling up to avoid the attack, Xiao Li stepped on Yitai's face and came behind him. Then he made up his mind and said to himself: "Teacher Kai, in order to implement your own ninja way, please allow me to use that trick, the third life gate, open!"】

【Xiao Li's skin began to turn red, and he spun and landed heavily, his body directly cutting through the air: "Next, the fourth injury gate, open!"】

【The body turned into an afterimage, and Xiao Li punched Yitai's chest heavily. 】

【"What's going on!" The rock armor on Yitai's body was shattered by Xiao Li's fist, but Xiao Li's attack was obviously not over yet: "This is just the beginning! Fifth Dumen, open!"】

【Xiao Li jumped high, and his right hand was wrapped with chakra. He punched Yitai and smashed the ground under his feet into pieces. 】

[“Okay, okay! Tianmu, please release more information about Konoha!”]

[“Does anyone know what this move is? Rock Lee’s current physical skills are at the level of a jonin.”]

[“Please, do you want to get this level of information for free on Tianmu? Each village must be hiding it.”]

[“...I know this, but I can’t tell you.”]

[“What the hell are you talking about!”]

[“Although I don’t know the specific principles of the move, at least I know Rock Lee’s physical skills level, so that when I meet him in a mission in the future, I won’t be fooled by his harmless appearance!”]

[“This is the value of Tianmu! Thank Konoha!”]

[“Hahaha! This is a mockery, why should I thank Konoha! Konoha is almost mad!”]

Ningji didn’t care about the barrage of information leaks. This is a problem that the top leaders need to consider. He is more concerned about the physical skills used by Rock Lee on Tianmu.

‘That was the Eight Gates that Teacher Kai taught us before. That Lee actually used it so skillfully.’

Thinking of this, Neji turned his head and looked at Lee. Lee happened to look at Neji at this time and said seriously: “Ningji, that technique was originally prepared for you, to prove that my efforts can surpass your genius. It doesn’t matter if it is exposed in advance now. In this year’s Chunin Exam, I will make you admit that even if I can only use physical skills, I will definitely become a great ninja!”

Although he was surprised by Lee’s strength, Neji also had his own pride. He smiled coldly and said: “Then let me wait and see whether your steel fist can defeat my soft fist.”

The three people in Team 7 quietly watched the rising fighting spirit between Neji and Lee, each with their own thoughts.

Sakura: ‘It feels a bit like the relationship between Sasuke and Naruto.’

Sasuke: ‘This thick-browed boy actually has this kind of strength!’

Naruto’s eyes were flashing, and he was obviously moved by Lee’s words.

Kakashi looked at Lee in surprise and said in admiration: "At the age of fifteen or sixteen, you can open the fifth gate. If you are the same age, you are stronger than me and Kai, Lee."

Kai touched his chin proudly: "Hehehe! If you are surprised, it's too early, Kakashi, I'll let you see it after the Chunin Exam begins."

[However, even if he showed his real ability, Yitai still defended against Lee's attack. He showed his head from a rock where he was hiding, and said in a somewhat doubtful tone: "It's really interesting that you suddenly became stronger, but I also have similar tricks!"]

[Yitai appeared from the rock protection, tightened the muscles of his arm to force out the snake-like tentacles that had drilled into his body before, and then grabbed the tentacles with his other hand and squeezed them hard, squeezing out the body fluids in them and drinking them directly. 】

【Instantly, a chakra that was even more powerful than before erupted from Yitai's body, forming a conspicuous purple light column straight into the sky: "Hahaha! Full! Full!"】

【Setsuna and Kusu, who were chasing Shion in the distance, looked back at the light column that was rising into the sky. Kusu said in a very pessimistic tone: "That idiot, just drank the chakra directly." Even so, he had no intention of going back to stop it, but just urged Setsuna to speed up and chase the target. 】[“Wow! I didn’t know there was such a use. I thought those tentacles were just a medium for injecting chakra.”]

[“Isn’t this interesting!”]

[“Isn’t the strengthening effect of this dark medical ninjutsu a bit exaggerated! After being attacked by Xiao Li, he looked like nothing happened, and he can even be strengthened again!”]

[“Just from the appearance of that tentacle, we can tell that it’s not a good thing. This technique must have flaws that we don’t know about!”]

In a secret base in the Land of Rice, Orochimaru looked at the sky with interest and licked his lips: “Interesting way, but it’s far inferior to the curse seal.”

After thinking about it, Orochimaru passed down an order and asked his men to look for Huangquan’s traces.

[“It worked!” Yitai shouted loudly. He, who could only use earth escape ninjutsu, gained the ability to turn rocks into exploding lava on this basis. 】

【Xiao Li dodged the flying debris and looked at Yitai, who had grown three heads and six arms after being strengthened and whose legs had turned into a snake's tail. He said with a serious expression: "The body has changed again!"】

【"Take it!" With powerful strength all over his body, Yitai excitedly launched an attack on Xiao Li. He pressed his hands to the ground, and several lava forces rushed towards Xiao Li from underground. 】

["Is this... Lava Release?"]

["No, it just makes the rocks explode, like a combination of earth release and fire release."]

["The increase in the power of the ninjutsu is not bad, but the more exaggerated thing is his physical changes, even six hands and three heads have grown!"]

["I saw a similar person when I was on a mission in the north of the Land of Earth. He also has the ability to change his body structure, but he has mental problems and keeps shouting that he wants to kill people. We quickly dealt with him."]

["Huh? Could it be that Huangquan is hiding in the Land of Earth?"]

Orochimaru looked at these comments thoughtfully. He couldn't be talking about the experimental subjects in his northern base.
