Are you leaving tomorrow?

Although Hanfu had been mentally prepared, he didn't expect it to be so soon!

"Brother, the swords are here!"

At this moment, Gekko Hayate ran out with two wooden swords, "Let's spar!"

"...Okay."

Hanfu's plan was to let Gekko Hayate practice swordplay alone, and then guide him to collect when he was so tired that he couldn't tell east from west. But now that Hayate's dad was standing by, it was inconvenient for him to 'bully' his son so openly. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and take the wooden sword.

"I'm coming!!"

Gekko Hayate roared excitedly, raised the wooden sword with both hands, and charged at Hanfu with a loud yell.

This chuunibyo demeanor had a few touches of anime, but as his opponent, Hanfu felt a bit awkward.

Bang, bang, bang!

The wooden swords of the two people collided constantly in the air. The dull impact sound made Gekko Hayate's spirits soar even higher. His eyes glowed, and the force contained in the wooden sword gradually increased, making Hanfu's tiger mouth tingle.

Did Little Brother just power up?

Hanfu blocked Gekko Hayate's slashes horizontally with the wooden sword. His tiger mouth became more and more numb, and finally, he had to hold the wooden sword with both hands to block Gekko Hayate's slashes.

However, Gekko Hayate kept attacking, and in less than five minutes, he was already panting. Hanfu quickly put down the wooden sword and suggested a rest.

"Brother, I'm not tired!"

Gekko Hayate pouted in dissatisfaction and protested.

"I'm the older brother, you have to listen to me!" Hanfu said seriously.

"But, but, I..." Gekko Hayate wanted to struggle a bit.

At this moment, Hanfu looked around and found that Gekko Sekiseki had left at some point.

This made things easier.

Not tired?

Heh heh.

"Little Brother, are you sure you're not tired?" Hanfu looked at Gekko Hayate with ill intentions.

Gekko Hayate nodded like a pecking chicken, but vaguely sensed Hanfu's malice, and his nodding motion was inevitably a little hesitant.

"It's good that you're not tired!"

Hanfu (he) spoke directly, "Little Brother (he), when I saw you attacking just now, your movements were a bit stiff. Based on my many years of sword-training experience, this is due to insufficient coordination between your lower and upper body!"

"Coordination? What's that?" Gekko Hayate (he) asked, tilting his head.

Hanfu (he) shook his head, looking disappointed. "You're asking the wrong question. You should be asking me how to solve the problem of insufficient coordination!"

Gekko Hayate (he) was dumbfounded.

"Alright, since you've sincerely asked, I'll reluctantly tell you the answer!" Hanfu (he) said seriously.

"Brother (he), I didn't say anything just now," Gekko Hayate (he) said urgently.

"First, you need to do one hundred... ten squats. Let's start with ten," Hanfu (he) poked Gekko Hayate (he)'s leg with a wooden sword and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't dawdle."

Gekko Hayate (he) was completely dumbfounded and stood there for a long time without moving.

"Squats, squats, do you know what squats are?" Hanfu (he) looked like he was defeated by him.

Gekko Hayate (he) shook his head. "I don't know."

"Hands behind your back, then squat down and stand up, squat down and stand up, understand?" Hanfu (he) explained simply.

Gekko Hayate (he) nodded, then hesitantly began to follow suit. Soon, ten squats were completed.

"Brother (he), I'm done!" Gekko Hayate (he) stood up a bit laboriously, but seemed to still have some strength left.

Hanfu (he) quickly changed his tune. "One hundred! I said do one hundred first, and you've only done ten. Don't be lazy."

"Brother (he), you clearly said ten just now." Gekko Hayate (he) was a little wronged, but under Hanfu (he)'s imposing and righteous gaze, he continued to squat with a bitter face.

Eleven!

Twelve!

Thirteen...

By the time he reached twenty, Gekko Hayate (he)'s legs were already trembling.

"Brother (he), my legs are so sore." Gekko Hayate (he) was on the verge of tears.

Hanfu (he) said, "Then let's stop doing squats. Let's do push-ups. Hmm, let's do one hundred of those too!"

Gekko Hayate (he) became unhappy and loudly protested, wanting to rest.

Hanfu (he) had no choice but to use his ultimate move. "I'll do them with you. Whoever doesn't do them is a puppy!"

Gekko Hayate (he) was forced into a corner by Hanfu (he)'s few words and had no choice but to grit his teeth and do push-ups.

"Ready, start!"

Hanfu began to count, "One, two, three..."

Gekko Hayate propped himself up with his hands on the grass, following Hanfu's voice, laboriously doing push-ups, wanting to keep up with Hanfu's speed.

But in reality, Hanfu... although he was also doing push-ups, his speed was slower. He counted from one to five, and only then did he complete one. At this time, Gekko Hayate had already done four!

"Eighteen, nineteen, twenty!"

Hanfu finished four push-ups and stood up from the ground with a look of exhaustion. On the other side, Gekko Hayate was already completely sprawled on the grass.

"Brother, I'm so tired," Gekko Hayate shouted loudly.

"Then take a break."

Hanfu went over and pulled him up. After confirming that Gekko Hayate was so tired he was about to fall asleep, he smiled and said, "Hayate Little Brother~"

Gekko Hayate instinctively shivered and couldn't help but shrink his shoulders, panting, he asked, "What do you want, Brother?"

"You said before that you would teach me Kekkei Genkai, did you forget?" Hanfu looked at him, smiling.

Gekko Hayate nodded gently, his eyelids heavy, "I remember, but, but Kekkei Genkai is innate."

"Never mind innate or acquired, as long as you are willing," Hanfu tempted him.

Gekko Hayate nodded his head like garlic, "Brother, of course I am willing."

"That's good."

Hanfu smiled... Collect!

The green light orb in his mind instantly churned. After a while, a pale red light spot suddenly surged out from the green light.

A pale red light spot?

Hanfu was overjoyed. He immediately used his consciousness to wrap this pale red light spot, and then...

What the heck is this?!

Tōton 1/3 (Kekkei Genkai, incomplete)!

Incomplete?

1/3?

Hanfu was a little confused.

Does he need to collect three times and then merge?

Hanfu pondered, then quickly gathered his thoughts. By this time, Gekko Hayate was so tired he was yawning. Hanfu seized the opportunity and continued to guide Gekko Hayate, then...

Collection!

Collection!!

With two consecutive Collection Techniques, two pale red light spots appeared deep within Hanfu's mind. Meanwhile, these three pale red light spots began to slowly merge together, just as Hanfu had anticipated!

Soon, these three pale red light spots merged to form a red stardust, as tiny and inconspicuous as dust, emitting a faint red glow, floating and sinking around the green light orb!

Hanfu excitedly wrapped the red stardust with his consciousness.

Tōton: Kekkei Genkai!

It succeeded, I really collected a Kekkei Genkai!

Hanfu opened his eyes, his breathing becoming ragged with excitement. Although he had a premonition, actually collecting a Kekkei Genkai now made him unable to contain his excitement. He seemed to see the Sharingan, Byakugan, Mangekyo, Hyoton, Shikotsumyaku, and Jinton beckoning to him.
