Heaven-Defying Blood Effect!

After checking all the materials, Tang Ping was extremely satisfied.

Compared to the basic knowledge in the Ninja Academy Library, these materials collected by the Uchiha Clan could practically be considered advanced knowledge.

Fully mastering them would definitely be of enormous benefit to him.

However, his most urgent priority now was strength.

Before, because he had only wanted to take it easy, he had not been in a hurry to improve his strength.

But now that Danzo had set his sights on him, he naturally had to hurry.

Even with a top-tier powerhouse like Minato Namikaze as his squad leader, it did not mean he could rest easy.

A person had to rely on himself.JPG!

Otherwise, he would end up like that future Byakugan Wolf—once the teacher was gone, tragedy followed.

Judging solely by ninja talent, Tang Ping was actually unqualified.

At the very least, compared to the descendants of ninja clans his age, they could crush him in every aspect.

But that did not mean he had no way to improve his strength.

Learning the Summoning Technique could still be attributed to hard work, but the Chakra needed to perform it had come entirely from his own research.

It was precisely because of that research that he had raised his Chakra to the level of an ordinary ninja clan member.

Do not underestimate that!

When he had first taken over this body, its Chakra had been less than a third of what it was now.

Half a year ago, he had achieved his first results, allowing his Chakra to triple in just six months.

Even now, his Chakra had only barely caught up to the average level of ninja clan graduates.

It could only be said that the gap between ninja clans and civilians was far too great.

Tang Ping carefully carried a potted mulberry tree, half a person tall, onto the workbench.

He had cultivated it from cuttings taken from the two mulberry trees in the courtyard.

It was a true treasure!

If anyone learned of this mulberry tree's value, they would be utterly stunned.

Because Tang Ping's Chakra growth and his ability to cultivate Taiyi had both relied on this mulberry tree.

As for how he had created something like this?

Of course, it was because of Tang Ping's special trait.

Blood!

That was right. Although he did not possess the standard transmigrator benefits like a system or status panel,

the blood in this body had a special effect.

It granted adaptability!

Mm... it was like the physique of the experimental product named Shin that Orochimaru would obtain in the future.

That person's body could have organs transplanted into it at will without any rejection.

Danzo's future right arm, fused with Hashirama Cells and Sharingan, had also only succeeded because it had been aided by Shin's flesh and blood.

Tang Ping's blood could grant targets that same trait as well.

No, it was stronger and more comprehensive.

It could make fusion seem as though it had undergone the tempering of time, rather than being artificially synthesized with countless flaws and hidden dangers.

For example!

Hybrid Rice had to undergo countless rounds of crossbreeding, selection... and the like.

But Tang Ping's blood could skip the lengthy process of growth and adaptation, directly producing the final result. The specific effects depended on the blood and materials invested.

The byproduct seaweed itself possessed the ability to grow rapidly.

It was by using the blood's effect to amplify that rapid-growth ability countless times that it could be refined into something with powerful healing effects.

The process was simple, but it had cost Tang Ping quite a bit of time, effort, and blood.

His blood supply was limited. Otherwise, he definitely could have created even more things.

This potted mulberry tree had taken him more than a year to cultivate little by little.

It could slowly fuse with traces of Natural Energy!

It was precisely because of this trait that he had devoted himself to cultivating it.

It could now be considered a special existence.

If it were a powerhouse who had entered Sage Mode, they would definitely be able to tell at a glance that there was something unusual about it.

It could only be said—

Fortunately, there were no sages in the Uchiha Clan, so Tang Ping was not worried about being exposed.

Taiyi had been able to grow this large because it usually stayed around the mulberry tree and could passively absorb some Natural Energy.

And Natural Energy represented one of the highest levels of power in the ninja world.

Sage Mode!

Others had to rely on the Three Great Sage Locations to master it.

But once this mulberry tree had been fully cultivated, Tang Ping might be able to use it to master it as well.

His Chakra had increased because he injected himself with a potion refined using the tree's wood as an ingredient.

It allowed his body to merge with faint traces of filtered Natural Energy.

Natural Energy had originally been incomparably violent—whoever touched it died—but after being "filtered" through the mulberry tree's countless adaptive evolutions, it was at least no longer fatal. At most, it caused discomfort and pain.

His Chakra increased because Natural Energy strengthened his cells, allowing him to extract more Chakra.

It could only be said—

Tang Ping had been able to achieve results so quickly precisely because of the special nature of his blood.

Otherwise, even if he took the research route and did not go down the wrong path as a transmigrator, it would still take at least several years, if not over a decade, to achieve anything.

At the same time, Tang Ping had countless "bold ideas" regarding his own blood.

But before, he had lacked both equipment and a suitable location. On top of that, he had been afraid that any commotion would attract attention, so he had kept an extremely low profile.

He had named the potion capable of increasing Chakra the "Natural Power Potion."

After all, he had made it. It did not matter how poorly the name fit the ninja world's style.

"Looks like I'll have to temporarily stop my research and focus on improving my strength for a while. But that's good too—I'll be able to gather more materials!"

Tang Ping sighed as he gently stroked the smooth leaves.

Next, he might not have much time for research.

But that was not necessarily a bad thing.

At the very least, it would give him a chance to leave Konoha and gather more materials.

His two greatest advantages in research also happened to require more materials to fully develop.

A transmigrator's knowledge + blood!

That was enough for him to create quite a few good things.

Snap!

With great reluctance, he broke off a large number of branches. Beneath the breaks, one could vaguely see wood with the texture of golden-red jade.

Yes, this mulberry tree had already begun to show its extraordinary nature.

Refining the Natural Power Potion was different from refining the Healing Potion.

Besides requiring plenty of supplementary materials, it also needed his blood as a catalyst to stabilize it.

Because his blood possessed the traits of "fusion" and "evolution," it could balance the conflicts within the potion.

In other words, when his skills were lacking, his blood made up the difference.

If it had been Orochimaru or Tsunade, they could certainly have slowly researched the best formula. But Tang Ping did not have that much time or ability, so he simply used his blood to skip that step.

Several dozen minutes later!

Two tubes of crimson potion appeared in Tang Ping's hands.

Although the potion was called Natural Power, that did not mean it had to be green.

Its crimson color was due to the mulberry tree's special nature.

He took the two tubes of potion to the small Training Ground, several hundred square meters in size, that had been specially partitioned off in the basement.

Well, it was not strange for ninjas to build Training Grounds in their basements if they did not want others prying into their information.

"Summoning Technique!"

Tang Ping performed the Summoning Technique.

Caw!

Taiyi, clad in sleek black-and-gold feathers, appeared in the underground Training Ground.

If they had still been at the place he rented before, Taiyi might have found it cramped.

But in this Training Ground of several hundred square meters, even if Taiyi was currently nearly as tall as a person, it would not be a problem even if it grew another ten... several times larger.

"Alright, I'm going to inject you with the potion next. Bear with it."

Tang Ping shook the tube of potion he had prepared for it.

Caw!

Although Taiyi did not recognize the potion, it instinctively knew that it would be of great benefit to it, so it nodded repeatedly.

Because the Natural Power Potion caused considerable damage to the mulberry tree, Tang Ping had only made three bottles in total.

The first bottle had allowed his Chakra to catch up to the average level of ninja clan members his age.

The remaining two bottles had just been made, and their effects far surpassed that first bottle.

Since the mulberry tree had continued to grow, the effects naturally became better.

Very soon.

Tang Ping used a syringe to inject one tube of Natural Power Potion into Taiyi's body.

The changes appeared quickly.
