You Think I Don't Dare Kill You

Other than the self-created swordsmanship, he had obtained everything else from Yuan Long's Treasure Pavilion.

Enhance all skills! Ye Liangnai thought.

Enhancing all his skills required 21,000 Enhancement Points.

Ye Liangnai had enough to pay for it now, with 4,000 Enhancement Points left over for emergencies.

Enhancing all his skills would not greatly increase Ye Liangnai's strength vertically, but it would substantially broaden his capabilities.

The broader his capabilities at a given level, the easier it would be for him to deal with opponents of the same level.

Just like now—after enhancing them, he could instantly kill Special Jonin and contend with Jonin.

And that was something Jonin-level people could not do.

"Enhancement in progress. Please concentrate, Host, to avoid failure!"

The system's voice rang out in Ye Liangnai's mind.

Then a buzzing sound arose and continued without stopping.

Ten minutes later!

"All skills have been successfully enhanced. This enhancement consumed a total of 21,000 Enhancement Points!"

As the system's voice faded, his new attribute panel appeared before his eyes.

"Mission, come on!"

Ye Liangnai rose from the bathtub. After drying himself off, he went into the courtyard to practice.

Only after he could proficiently use every enhanced skill did he stop and go to sleep.

As for the Anbu monitoring Ye Liangnai in secret—

Though he could not see anything unusual about Ye Liangnai's ninjutsu, he could not help but admire his diligence.

Sure enough, outstanding people had their reasons for being outstanding.

The next day!

Ye Liangnai woke up on time.

After breakfast, he arrived at the Anbu and closed his eyes to rest while he waited.

With my current strength, even Jonin can probably only fight me to a draw.

Once I work hard for a while longer and gather 200,000 Enhancement Points to enhance myself, killing Jonin will be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables!

After some time, Ao Liu Yi arrived!

When he saw that Ye Liangnai was there as well, he could not help but be surprised.

Then he sneered teasingly, "What, had enough of the hardship of E-rank missions? Did you finally admit your mistake and beg Lord Raikage for mercy?"

In his view, the reason Ye Liangnai had appeared here was simple.

Raikage had personally given the order to lift Ye Liangnai's punishment.

And for Raikage to lift Ye Liangnai's punishment, Ye Liangnai could only have taken the initiative to admit his mistake.

Could it be that Lord Raikage had personally come to his door to lift Ye Liangnai's punishment?

How could there be such a good thing? If that were true, pigs would fly.

"If that's how you want to interpret it, I have no objection."

"But if you really want to know why, why not ask for yourself? That way, you won't have to make wild guesses!"

Ye Liangnai opened his eyes and glanced at him. "Move aside a little. You're blocking my breathing!"

"You bastard, don't you—"

Before he could finish, Ye Liangnai suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Nirvana Technique!"

Then Ye Liangnai's sharp, lightning-wreathed finger stopped before Ao Liu Yi's throat.

"Do you think I dare kill you?"

His words were incomparably cold, yet brimming with arrogance.

The surrounding Anbu could not help but be shocked at the sight.

Ao Liu Yi had actually been defeated in an instant. What terrifying strength!

Even their captain was probably no stronger than that!

They had thought the strength Ye Liangnai displayed that day was his true strength.

Now, it seemed that was not the case at all.

This guy's strength was simply unfathomable!

But even as they were shocked, their expressions darkened.

Ye Liangnai, an outsider, was being far too arrogant. Did he really not take them seriously?

He actually dared attack their comrade, Ao Liu Yi, right in front of them.

Did he think Kumogakure had no one left?

"Jinghong, do you want to be punished with E-rank missions again? Stop this at once!"

At that moment, a warning voice came from behind Ye Liangnai.

The Anbu who had been monitoring Ye Liangnai all along walked in, his gaze cold as he spoke.

The surrounding Anbu immediately saluted and respectfully said, "Captain!"

"Oh my, so you're our captain. I truly have been quite disrespectful. Please forgive me!"

Ye Liangnai immediately released Ao Liu Yi from the genjutsu's control, smiling as he gave a slight bow.

Yet there was not the slightest hint of apology on his face. There was only a frivolous, unruly defiance.

He continued, "Of course, if I can keep doing E-rank missions, I really would be more than happy to."

"After all, that's the life I want!"

The captain immediately snorted at his words. "I hope you can still be this spirited once you reach the battlefield!"

"If you can, then I might reluctantly acknowledge you. But right now, you're nothing more than a thorn in my eyes!"

"You should thank Lord Raikage. If he had not said he wanted to temper you, I would have already beheaded you and displayed your head to the public!"

Hearing the captain's icy words, Ye Liangnai deliberately touched his neck in fear. "That truly is terrifying, Captain!"
