It was afternoon the next day as well, around four or five o'clock.

Shui Bing'er had already fully mastered the technique of treading water, and was now happily walking across the surface.

Yu Tianlin was still sitting cross-legged by the lake, paying no attention to the girl who looked like a fairy gliding over the waves. Right now, all his focus was on his right hand.

The powerful current gathered in his right hand gave off a low hum, vibrating in a steady rhythm. In Yu Tianlin's perception, he was only one step away from the true Chidori.

"Now!"

A sharp light flashed in Yu Tianlin's eyes. He controlled the Power of Thunder and Lightning and, according to the method he had continuously deduced over the past two days, stimulated his own palm. In an instant, a dazzling burst of blue-white lightning erupted over his hand.

"Bzzzt, bzzzt, bzzzt..."

The originally low hum of the electric current suddenly grew piercingly clear, like thousands of birds crying out in a chaotic chorus. Its momentum was utterly astonishing!

The commotion on Yu Tianlin's side drew Shui Bing'er's attention. She slowly walked over from the lake surface, her hands clasped behind her back, bending slightly as she examined the lightning on Yu Tianlin's right palm. Curious, she said, "Is this the Soul Skill you created yourself? It looks pretty good."

Over the past two days, lightning of fluctuating strength had constantly flickered over Yu Tianlin's right hand. Shui Bing'er had come over to ask about it out of curiosity, and Yu Tianlin had told her that he was creating a Soul Skill, so Shui Bing'er naturally knew about it.

"That's right. It's finally complete!"

Holding up his right hand, Yu Tianlin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Ever since he had decided to develop Chidori, he had spent a week drawing the Power of Thunder and Lightning within his Soul Power inward, then another week completing Tree Climbing Training, followed by two days of treading water and two days of development. After a total of eighteen days, he had finally created the skill Chidori on Douluo Continent.

Most of that time had been spent improving his control over thunder and lightning Soul Power. Once his control had improved, and with his knowledge of Chidori's principles, the time truly spent developing it had been very short.

Actually, that was about right. Sasuke hadn't taken many days to learn Chidori either.

Having personally witnessed the birth of a Self-Created Soul Skill, Shui Bing'er said with great interest, "So? What name are you going to give this Self-Created Soul Skill?"

Yu Tianlin smiled. "I'll call it Chidori. What do you think?"

"Chidori? A good name!" Shui Bing'er thought for a moment, then praised, "When this skill is activated, it sounds like a thousand birds crying together. That name couldn't be more fitting. I just wonder how powerful it is?"

Yu Tianlin rose from the ground with his right hand raised and said with a face full of confidence, "It's very powerful. I feel like it can at least rival a Thousand Year Soul Skill!"

After Chidori was officially completed, Yu Tianlin could feel that his palm had become incomparably sharp, and his attack power had increased by a large margin. At the same time, the powerful current in his palm spread through his right arm and radiated throughout his entire body, giving a certain boost to the activity of his flesh. His body felt much lighter, and his speed had also improved.

Hearing Yu Tianlin's words, Shui Bing'er couldn't help laughing with a pfft. "Rival a Thousand Year Soul Skill? You say that as if you have a Thousand Year Soul Skill."

But I really do.

"Then I'll show you Chidori's power." Yu Tianlin didn't bother refuting her and directly pointed at a tree ten meters away. "See that tree? That'll be the target!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tianlin stomped hard against the ground and vanished from where he stood in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the tree ten meters away.

"So fast!"

Seeing this scene, Shui Bing'er's pupils shrank slightly, and she instinctively cried out in a low voice.

"Boom!"

However, Yu Tianlin's movements did not stop. After crossing the ten-meter distance and charging before the large tree, he borrowed the force of the thrust and smashed his Chidori-wreathed right hand into the trunk. A thunderous boom rang out, and the trunk actually snapped in response!

"Its power is strong too..."

Yu Tianlin was also very satisfied with Chidori's power. If expressed in data, then even without considering the boost from the thrust, its attack power in a normal state had increased by one hundred percent. As for speed, the increase was not as large, only fifty percent.

However, Chidori was not without flaws. After speed suddenly increased, it was very difficult for the user to adapt. On top of that, it required a high-speed straight-line thrust to expand the skill's damage. If the target's speed surpassed the caster's, they could very easily avoid this move and even counterattack. At that point, the person using Chidori would find it difficult to see through the opponent's movements, react in time, or change direction, thus falling into a disadvantage.

According to Naruto, it was best to pair Chidori with the Sharingan. That way, this weakness of Chidori could be perfectly covered, allowing its power to be fully unleashed.

Yu Tianlin scoffed at this.

Chidori's speed was too fast, to the point that the caster couldn't observe the opponent's movements or react in time? Don't be ridiculous. Minato Namikaze and the Raikage were even faster, but he had never seen them have this kind of problem. How could they react in time?

Minato Namikaze was one thing. His speed was displayed through spatial ability, which was not the same system as Chidori's simple enhancement of physical speed, so he could be set aside for now.

But the Raikage were different. Whether it was the Third Raikage or the Fourth Raikage, their Lightning Release Armor used Thunder Attribute Chakra to increase the activity of their bodies, thereby greatly increasing their speed. This was exactly the same type of ability as Chidori, and Lightning Release Armor was even stronger in this regard. Even so, he had never heard of the Raikage failing to react in battle and having some issue because of it.

In the end, it still came down to training. Take Chidori out and use it every day, every year, and naturally one would slowly adapt to that kind of high speed.

Although Kakashi had found it difficult to react at first after developing Chidori, with his talent, he definitely could have adapted with more practice. However, not long after, he obtained Obito's Sharingan. From then on, whenever he used the skill Chidori, he always used the Sharingan with it. Having grown accustomed to the Sharingan's perspective, he naturally felt that ordinary eyes could not react in time. Sasuke was the same.

As for Chidori's consumption, Yu Tianlin felt it was acceptable.

When Sasuke was twelve, he could only use Chidori three times a day. Yet Yu Tianlin was only eight now, and judging by his own feeling, his level twenty-two Soul Power should be able to support him using Chidori five times.

After all, the worlds were different, and the power systems were different. There was no need to get tangled up over such things.

While Yu Tianlin was immersed in his understanding of Chidori, Shui Bing'er slowly walked over and said, "Congratulations, Yu Tianlin. Chidori's power is indeed very strong. It has no problem rivaling a Thousand Year Soul Skill."

"Thank you for the praise." Yu Tianlin came back to himself. "You too. As a Control System Soul Master, now that you've fully mastered treading water, your strength should have improved to a certain extent as well."
