Neural Reflex Speed

This pure destructive power was indeed gratifying.

However, he also clearly recognized the gap within it.

Relying solely on the physical enhancement provided by this initial-stage Lightning Release: Chakra Mode, the resulting burst of strength was still far from Tsunade's peerless Medical Ninjutsu.

But Minamoto Takuya was not discouraged, because he understood that the underlying principles of these two powers did not conflict:

Lightning Release: Chakra Mode used Lightning Release energy to permeate and stimulate every cell in the body, achieving comprehensive physical enhancement;

Monster Strength, on the other hand, relied on extremely precise Chakra control, compressing Chakra at the point of contact between fist or palm before releasing it in an instant.

"Therefore, not only do these two not conflict, they have enormous potential for fusion!" A sharp glint flashed in Minamoto Takuya's eyes.

Compared to forcibly combining Monster Strength with the dangerous and domineering Eight Inner Gates, merging Lightning Release enhancement with Monster Strength's explosive force was child's play.

He knew well that the Chakra released by the Eight Inner Gates, especially when opening the later Gates, was like an unbridled wild horse—violent and nearly impossible to control. Its operating principle was almost completely opposed to Monster Strength, which demanded ultimate precision.

His previous successful fusion had amounted to nothing more than using the first two Gates of the Eight Inner Gates to remove the body's restraints, pushing his base physical strength to its limit, then using the techniques of Monster Strength to compress and unleash that force.

If he forcibly opened more dangerous Gates, Monster Strength's Chakra control—which demanded an exceptionally high degree of precision—would become impossible amid that raging torrent of energy.

"Perhaps only someone capable of perfectly taming the violent Chakra of the later Eight Inner Gates could use Monster Strength in such a desperate
