Kekkei Genkai

When Lin Chuan opened his eyes again, they had transformed from their original white pupils into the sky-blue Tenseigan, shimmering with faint silver light. There were no bulging veins, yet a massive amount of Sage Chakra was surging into them.

Looking around once more, Lin Chuan's field of vision had expanded significantly, reaching a range of two kilometers. After a brief sweep, he found no particular danger and slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, they had returned to the ordinary form of the Byakugan. Lin Chuan turned to look at Qin Lang and Bu Lianshi. The two were still in a daze, seemingly unable to believe that Lin Chuan, who should have been the weakest in the team, had become so powerful that he was now beyond their reach.

Lin Chuan offered no explanation, simply telling them, "Stay here and don't wander off. I've already checked, and there's no danger nearby. I have some things to take care of and will be back shortly!"

"Ah... oh... okay! Stay safe!" Qin Lang snapped out of his trance and nodded.

Bu Lianshi also gave a slight nod to Lin Chuan, though she was filled with curiosity about his claim of having "already checked." What did he mean by that? Could he see the dangers in the surroundings?

Whoosh! Lin Chuan leaped down from the tree and headed toward the three corpses from earlier. He realized that leaving too much evidence behind was unwise, especially since the damage caused by the Gentle Fist was so shocking; it couldn't be easily exposed. Destroying the evidence was the best course of action.

Not long after, Lin Chuan arrived at the bodies and set them ablaze, only then feeling at ease enough to leave. As for the three people who had already discovered the bodies earlier, he would have to deal with that later.

After returning to the tree and resting for a moment, Lin Chuan led the two of them on their way.

"So you're this strong, Lin Chuan! I always thought you couldn't do anything. This is great, we definitely won't have any problems with the assessment now, hahaha!"

"By the way, aren't you only at the first level of the Qi Refining Stage? My perception also confirms your spiritual energy fluctuation is only at the first level. Why are you so powerful?"

"I was planning on being the big brother for this assessment, but since you're this strong, it's more appropriate for you to take that role!"

Qin Lang had finally recovered from the shock of Lin Chuan's strength, but once the bewilderment faded, he entered "chatterbox mode," with questions coming one after another.

Lin Chuan finally understood why this guy had been so quiet before: first, because he wasn't familiar with him, and second, because he felt he was the strongest and had to take responsibility for protecting his teammates, so his focus had been entirely on passing the assessment.

But once Lin Chuan displayed his overwhelming strength, the guy just threw his responsibilities away. He stopped worrying about the assessment, and believing they were now "brothers who had been through life and death" together, he started talking about everything. Combined with his naturally outgoing personality, Lin Chuan truly regretted acting so domineering earlier.

Even Bu Lianshi couldn't stand his nagging. She turned away with a helpless expression and moved further away from Qin Lang, and by extension, away from Lin Chuan as well, because ever since a moment ago, Qin Lang had been practically glued to Lin Chuan, refusing to leave his side!

"Right, what kind of martial art is that fist technique? It looked soft and weak, but the attacks were so powerful that you took down three experts at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage in an instant. Can you teach me? I promise I won't leak it!" Qin Lang swore with a hopeful expression.

"That technique is called the Gentle Fist. It requires a specific Kekkei Genkai to function, so you can't learn it," Lin Chuan said helplessly.

"Kekkei Genkai? What's that?" Qin Lang asked, looking puzzled, as if he had never heard the name before.

Bu Lianshi, standing to the side, also looked over with curiosity, showing significant interest in Lin Chuan's Gentle Fist.

Lin Chuan thought about it and decided there was no point in hiding it. The abilities of the Byakugan would eventually be discovered by Qin Lang and Bu Lianshi anyway. Rather than letting them guess later, it was better to tell them now. It would earn their trust without exposing his other major secrets like the Tenseigan or Rinnegan, as those were his true trump cards compared to the Byakugan. Thus, Lin Chuan found a spot to rest and began explaining the concept of Kekkei Genkai to them.

"In short, a Kekkei Genkai is an ability inherited through bloodlines. For example, you've all noticed my eyes are different from others, but you don't know that their functions are also unique."

"How are they different?" Qin Lang had long suspected there was something fishy about Lin Chuan's eyes and now looked at those white pupils with even greater curiosity.

"Basically, they have three abilities: the Insight Eye, the Telescopic Eye, and the X-Ray Eye!"

"My eyes are called the Byakugan. They possess a 360-degree field of vision, can perceive the flow of spiritual energy in the surroundings, and can see things up to a kilometer away. In other words, within one kilometer, I can see everything from every angle, without any blind spots, whenever I want!" As Lin Chuan finished his explanation, he saw the expected stunned expressions on their faces and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"So amazing!!!" Qin Lang no longer knew what kind of expression to use to convey his inner feelings.

However, the next moment, Bu Lianshi, who had been marveling at the power of the Byakugan, suddenly changed her expression. A flush of red rose to her beautiful face, and she turned around and fled behind a large tree.

Qin Lang, meanwhile, looked at Lin Chuan with a complex mix of resentment and expectation, cursing under his breath, "What a pervert! A lecher!"

Damn it... I got carried away and mentioned the X-Ray vision... but Bu Lianshi being shy and calling me a pervert is one thing, why is a grown man like you calling me a lecher... Lin Chuan felt like crying, his head covered in black lines.

Just as he was about to explain his pure heart and innocent intentions, to show that he wasn't some sleazy voyeur, Bu Lianshi walked out from behind the tree. She kept her head low, said nothing, and sat back down next to Lin Chuan, looking as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

After all, if he could see everything within a kilometer, hiding was useless unless she ran more than a kilometer away! Besides, if he wanted to look, he would have already seen everything anyway; hiding was just a futile effort!

Bu Lianshi's inner world had practically collapsed!

"Nani?" As soon as Lin Chuan saw Bu Lianshi's demeanor, he roughly guessed the reason and silently wailed in his heart, I really didn't look! I have no interest in young girls, really!

But this kind of thing was impossible to explain; the more he tried, the messier it would get, so he simply gave up on explaining!

"Uh... anyway, let's continue talking about the Kekkei Genkai. Because I have the Byakugan, I can see the meridians inside an enemy's body. When I use the Gentle Fist, I strike spiritual energy directly into their body to attack their undefended internal organs and meridians, which is why it's so powerful!" Lin Chuan explained with a straight face.

Unfortunately, what he had said earlier had completely destroyed his lofty image. In the eyes of Qin Lang and Bu Lianshi, this handsome, white-haired boy had already become a sleazy peeping tom!
