The Power of Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven

Xuan Ye shouted, then used Chakra according to the method of Chakra circulation for Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In an instant, countless streams of Chakra erupted from every acupoint in his body. At that moment, Xuan Ye had an intuition—a feeling that inexplicably surfaced in his mind—that this could save a great deal of Chakra.

Xuan Ye did not dwell on it and simply followed his intuition. After all, if he could not even trust himself, who could he trust?

With Chakra erupting from his acupoints and the rotation of his body, Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven was unleashed. Countless streams of Chakra formed a hemispherical barrier around him. The Chakra-made barrier spun continuously at an extremely fast speed.

However, Xuan Ye felt that the Chakra consumption seemed to have been reduced by more than half. It appeared to be only one-quarter of what it had been before. Why was that? The system should not have made a mistake when it said Chakra consumption would be halved.

He lowered his head and thought for a while. Before long, a reasonable answer appeared in his mind. This should have been the original function of Chakra Control. Chakra Control was meant to prevent ninjas from wasting excess Chakra when using ninjutsu.

Now, beyond that original function, he had gained another one: Chakra consumption would be halved when using ninjutsu. When he used Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven, Chakra Control's inherent effect had ensured that he did not waste even a bit of extra Chakra.

Combined with the bonus attribute granted when Chakra Control reached its maximum value—halving Chakra consumption when using ninjutsu—the effect of these two attributes together was absolutely terrifying.

Ninjutsu that originally required an enormous amount of Chakra could now be used with very little Chakra. As a result, the proficiency of ninjutsu that required Chakra to cast would increase extremely quickly, definitely four or five times faster than yesterday.

Using Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven continuously consumed his Chakra. No matter how much Chakra Xuan Ye had, and even with Chakra Control reducing the consumption, he could not keep Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven active for too long. Otherwise, his Chakra would quickly be exhausted.

So he soon deactivated Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven. At that moment, Xuan Ye noticed the system notifications in his mind, informing him that its proficiency had increased.

"Ding-dong, Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven ninjutsu proficiency +5 (5/10000)"

"Ding-dong, Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven ninjutsu proficiency +5 (10/10000)"

"Ding-dong, Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven ninjutsu proficiency +5 (15/10000)"

"Ding-dong, Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven ninjutsu proficiency +5 (20/10000)"

This notification kept flashing through his mind, while the proficiency of Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven continued to rise. There were too many system notifications, so Xuan Ye could only ignore the earlier ones and look directly at the latest message.

"Ding-dong, Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven ninjutsu proficiency +5 (50/10000)"

This was the system's final notification. Looking at it, Xuan Ye felt fairly satisfied. He had kept Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven active for nearly half a minute, consuming roughly one-third of his total Chakra.

If not for the Chakra Control technique, which had saved a huge amount of Chakra, Xuan Ye probably would not have had even a trace of Chakra left in his body. He might even have needed to overdraw some Chakra just to keep Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven active for half a minute.

For Xuan Ye at this point, maintaining Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven for half a minute was already quite impressive. After all, he was only an apprentice ninja and had not even reached the rank of genin. Yet Xuan Ye, who had not even become a genin, could keep Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven active for so long. That was no easy feat.

After all, no one kept Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven active constantly during battle. Usually, when an enemy approached, they would use it to injure the enemy with the rapidly spinning hemispherical Chakra barrier it created, or use it to defend against the enemy's attacks.

Once Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven had injured the enemy or blocked an attack, it could be deactivated. Keeping it active for a long time required too much Chakra. If this ninjutsu consumed too much Chakra in battle, it would be better not to use it at all.

But as long as Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven was not used recklessly, it was still an extremely powerful ninjutsu.

From the system notifications, he learned that using Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven for that half-minute had increased its proficiency by fifty points. Fifty points of proficiency was quite good. Yesterday's Three Body Technique proficiency had increased far more than this, but the Three Body Techniques were merely the most basic ninjutsu, while Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven was a much more formidable technique.

Within the Hyuga Clan, Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven was a secret technique. The moment one came under attack, a large amount of Chakra would erupt from every acupoint in the body, while the user spun like a top.

The Chakra would rotate along with the body, forming a hemispherical Chakra barrier outside the body. This barrier could be used either to protect oneself or attack others.

When used for defense, Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven possessed extremely strong defensive power. When used offensively, its attack power was no weak either. Only such a ninjutsu could be regarded as a secret technique by the Hyuga Clan.

As Xuan Ye thought things over, his head had unconsciously lowered bit by bit. Now that he had figured everything out, he saw the destruction caused by the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven he had just used.

Lowering his head, he saw a spherical pit nearly two meters in diameter beneath his feet, created by the destructive force of Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven. How much power did it take to cause such damage?

It seemed that the power of Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven had exceeded his expectations. He had originally thought that, with his current apprentice ninja-level Chakra, he could not cause this much destruction. But the damage was right before his eyes, and he had no choice but to believe it.

It seemed that Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven was quite powerful. If my current Chakra can already achieve this much, then once my Chakra level rises in the future, won't its power become even greater?

"Forget it. I won't think about this anymore. Improving my strength is more important."

"Right, system, didn't you say you would reward me with the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu? Where is the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu?" Xuan Ye asked the system.

The system seemed to freeze for a moment at his question. "Ding-dong, the usage method of the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu will now be transmitted into the host's mind. Please prepare yourself."

But that was merely the system being polite. Prepare? What a joke. It did not give him any time to prepare at all. As soon as the system finished speaking, it directly transmitted the usage method of the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu into his mind.

Having experienced several previous transmissions, he had gained some understanding of ninjutsu transmission. A sudden pain shot through his head, and the system's transmission began.

One of his relatives had a birthday today, and his parents dragged him out for a meal. By the time he returned, he had no time to write, so he could only release this sole saved chapter.
