Chakra Surge

With so many bombs detonating at once, even though Uchiha Gen had prepared himself and circulated Chakra to protect his body, he was still severely injured.

At that moment, Uchiha Gen looked utterly miserable.

A third of the flesh on his body was gone, and blood sprayed out as if it cost nothing.

The skin across his entire body had been scorched into a mangled mess by the flames. White bones and internal organs were exposed, clearly visible to the naked eye.

Intense pain surged through Uchiha Gen's heart, turning his eyes bloodshot. Fortunately, he could still endure this level of pain. The T-virus and Saiyan Bloodline were also taking effect, stabilizing his condition and attempting to heal his injuries.

"Main God, full-body restoration!"

Gritting his teeth, Uchiha Gen called out to the Main God.

At once, the Main God's beam enveloped Uchiha Gen, and the mangled flesh on his body began to heal rapidly.

Uchiha Gen could clearly feel a surge of potential being released from deep within his body as it healed. Both his physical attributes and Mental Strength were soaring at a speed he could distinctly perceive.

As reflected in his Chakra, Uchiha Gen's Chakra reserves doubled in an extremely short time.

It might have only doubled, but that increase came on top of reserves that had already reached the Jonin level.

In other words, Uchiha Gen's Chakra reserves had now increased twentyfold compared to when he had first entered the Main God Space.

Even among Jonin, Uchiha Gen could now be considered someone with relatively abundant Chakra. Releasing twenty or thirty Great Fireball Techniques in succession would not be a problem.

If Kakashi were used as the unit of measurement, Uchiha Gen now possessed one-fifth of a Kakashi's Chakra reserves.

That might sound like very little, but Kakashi was a monster who could keep his Sharingan active for twenty-four hours and still unleash several S-Rank Ninjutsu, Chidori, in battle.

In the databook's stamina stat, which represented Chakra, he was even slightly higher than Uchiha Itachi, who had awakened the Mangekyo and already possessed enormous Chakra reserves.

"Since there's no damage involving the genetic or soul level, full-body restoration really is cheap. It only cost ninety-eight points."

"There are still over five hundred reward points left. After setting aside around one hundred for the Resident Evil World, I can still afford four more full-body restorations."

Once the restoration was complete, Uchiha Gen checked his remaining reward points.

Before he could think any further, an overwhelming hunger struck him.

Uchiha Gen hurried back to his room, took out a huge pile of food from the refrigerator, and began devouring it to replenish his strength.

After eating and drinking his fill, Uchiha Gen did not rush to injure himself again to trigger his potential. Instead, he began training to master the power he had just gained.

He started with the basic Three Body Technique, then moved on to Konoha-Style Taijutsu, Uchiha-style Taijutsu, Uchiha-style Swordsmanship, and Uchiha Throwing Technique.

Next came Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique and Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.

After a full day of training, Uchiha Gen finally brought his surging power under preliminary control.

Then, Uchiha Gen began the process of triggering his potential for the second time.

Higher-yield bombs, followed by the same Main God restoration.

This time, his Chakra reserves increased by much less, rising by only fifty percent. However, in terms of absolute numbers, the amount of Chakra gained had not decreased.

At this point, Uchiha Gen's Chakra reserves had reached three times the Jonin level.

That was equivalent to three-tenths of a Kakashi's Chakra.

Then came eating, continued training, and mastering the surge in power.

Because this increase in Chakra was smaller, Uchiha Gen only needed half a day to bring his surging Chakra under control.

Then came the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of triggering his potential.

Three days later, Zheng Zha had just finished extracting Chakra. The moment he stepped out of his room, he heard an earth-shaking explosion.

Immediately afterward, thick black smoke rose from Main God Plaza.

A mangled body was flung into the air by the Shockwave, with blood splattering across the ground.

Zheng Zha looked closely. Who else could it be but Uchiha Gen?

"Fuck, Main God, restore his whole body! Deduct the reward points from mine!"

Zheng Zha shouted anxiously.

He still had fifteen hundred reward points left, and they happened to come in handy now.

A pillar of light enveloped Uchiha Gen and began restoring his mangled body. Only then did Zheng Zha let out a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry. He's just training. Did you forget the traits of the Saiyan Bloodline?"

Beside him, Zhan Lan pushed open her door and walked out as well.

She had finished extracting Chakra faster than Zheng Zha, and had learned that Uchiha Gen was courting death as early as that morning. Afraid that he might accidentally blow himself to death, she had been the one to call for Main God restoration during Uchiha Gen's fourth attempt.

When Uchiha Gen began his fifth session just now, Zhan Lan had hidden behind her door, watching the situation at all times and ready to call for the Main God's restoration.

She had not expected Zheng Zha to act faster than her this time.

"Thanks."

"Unfortunately, it seems my potential has been used up for now. This method no longer works. Otherwise, I really would have wanted to borrow Zheng Zha's reward points and keep training."

Once the restoration was complete, Uchiha Gen thanked him.

The first time he had used this method of triggering potential through grievous injury, Uchiha Gen had gained one-tenth of a Kakashi's Chakra. The second and third times had produced the same result. By the fourth time, he had gained only seven-hundredths of a Kakashi, and the fifth attempt just now had yielded a mere three-hundredths of a Kakashi.

Uchiha Gen's total Chakra reserves now stood at exactly Half Kakashi, which was undoubtedly at the Elite Jonin level.

However, it was foreseeable that continuing to torment himself like this would not produce much further improvement.

"Will this training method be useless from now on? It would be great if we could trigger our potential infinitely."

Zheng Zha spoke regretfully.

As the team's strongest pillar, Uchiha Gen naturally needed to be as strong as possible.

Since that pillar could not grow stronger in a short time, Zheng Zha naturally felt disappointed.

Uchiha Gen was somewhat regretful as well that he could not continue exploiting this shortcut.

He smiled and answered Zheng Zha's question. "This method of triggering potential through near-death can still be used, but it needs time. My body has to build up its potential again first. Maybe in the future, we can Exchange for more time to train in Horror movie worlds and accumulate potential."

"As for what you said about triggering potential infinitely, that's wishful thinking."

"When I Exchanged for the Saiyan Bloodline, I also read some materials and manga from the Dragon Ball World. Their medical technology is hardly any worse than the Main God's restoration, yet I never saw those Saiyans endlessly grow stronger through repeated severe injuries and healing."

"They only used this training method occasionally. That proves you really can't infinitely trigger your potential by suffering grave injuries and near-death experiences."

"If Saiyans could truly trigger their potential without limit, then the one ruling the universe would not be Lord Frieza, but the Saiyans."
