The girl smiled at him, blinking her large eyes. "Don't forget, I have the Byakugan. That massive amount of chakra inside your body can't be hidden from me, hee hee."

Xia Xueqing walked away playfully, leaving Su Bai standing there in a daze.

This... how did I forget about that?

The Byakugan can see through the human body, observing meridians and chakra levels. This was the most basic common knowledge, yet he had completely overlooked it...

On the arena, the semi-finals began. Wen Yuanyuan's team took the stage first, facing classmates from her own school.

"Noble schools really are something else; your school has practically swept the semi-finals," Su Bai remarked in the resting area, looking at their opponents, who were also from a noble school.

Chang Rui and Xia Xueqing nodded, not the least bit surprised.

Because in previous years, the Yang City Campus Tournament had basically been the same.

Children from commoner families lacked cultivation resources. By the time they reached the college entrance exams, they were lucky to have mastered the Three Body Technique; very few had chakra levels reaching the Genin minimum standard of 1 unit.

But noble schools were different. Every student there lacked no resources, beginning to refine chakra and practice ninjutsu under their parents' guidance from a young age, winning at the starting line long ago.

"These three are no match for Wen Yuanyuan, but they can force out some of her real strength. Watch closely, Su Bai," Xia Xueqing said pointedly.

Su Bai nodded, watching intently.

On the arena, Wen Yuanyuan looked at the girl among the three opponents and smiled slightly. "Qingqing, I didn't expect my opponent to be you."

"Hee hee, Sister Yuanyuan, you have to go easy on me. I'm no match for you," the girl named Qingqing giggled. The two seemed to have a good relationship.

Wen Yuanyuan said helplessly, "I'd like to, but your strength isn't weak either. If I hold back, I'll be the one defeated."

She understood the strength of these three classmates; their chakra levels were around four or five units, and each had mastered at least one C-rank ninjutsu. They were not to be underestimated.

Yan Zheng faced an opponent who, like him, was a Fire Release ninja, while Yang Liu faced a Wind Release user, his expression calm.

The girl named Qingqing, Wen Yuanyuan's opponent, was an Earth Release ninja and the strongest of the group, with a chakra level of five units.

"The match begins!" At the referee's command, the two teams immediately clashed!

Yan Zheng struck first, weaving hand seals to unleash a "Great Fireball" seven or eight meters in diameter, which flew toward Qingqing's team with heat that distorted the air.

Seeing this, Qingqing calmly wove seals and slammed her hands onto the ground!

"Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!"

Boom!

A ten-meter-high earthen wall instantly appeared in front of her and her two teammates, blocking Yan Zheng's Great Fireball.

"Don't just look at the front." Just as the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, Wen Yuanyuan's voice accompanied a two-meter-square water bubble that appeared, instantly trapping Qingqing inside.

It was the Water Release ninjutsu—Water Prison Technique!

The Water Prison Technique was a restrictive ninjutsu; once trapped, unless there was a massive disparity in strength, the victim could not escape on their own.

However, this technique had a drawback: the caster had to keep one hand inside the bubble to maintain control.

"Qingqing!"

"Save her first!"

Seeing the situation turn dire, Qingqing's two teammates immediately cast their ninjutsu.

However, before they could act, Yang Liu was already standing atop the Earth Style Wall, casting his own ninjutsu.

"Ice Release: Ice Pillar Technique!"

Boom!

Two massive ice pillars appeared out of thin air, instantly sealing the two boys inside, leaving them unable to move!

This was the power of a Kekkei Genkai; the fusion of two chakra nature transformations resulted in terrifying power that ordinary ninjas simply could not withstand.

The audience in the stands gasped as the battle ended so simply.

"An Ice Release ninja? How rare."

"Indeed, and a third-year student at that. A bright future ahead."

"What's his relationship with Yang Long? There aren't many Ice Release ninjas in our Yang City, are there?"

"Heh, I know this kid. He's Yang Long's son. Truly, a tiger father produces no dog son!"

The audience marveled, finally seeing a battle worth watching after a day of "joke" matches.

"Well? Xueqing, are you confident you can deal with Yang Liu?" Chang Rui asked in the resting area, looking somewhat worried.

Although she already held Kekkei Genkai in high regard, Yang Liu's strength still exceeded her expectations.

Xia Xueqing shook her head. "If I were hit by his ninjutsu, I wouldn't be able to escape either. But if I get close to him, he won't be able to withstand my taijutsu attacks."

She could not yet practice the long-range ninjutsu that came with the Byakugan; she only knew the most basic Gentle Fist.

However, this was precisely why Xia Xueqing's taijutsu was so formidable. Combined with the Byakugan's astonishing insight, she could easily strike an opponent's weak points.

But there was a prerequisite for this: she had to get close to her opponent...

Seeing Yang Liu unleash Ice Release, Su Bai felt even more anticipation for Kekkei Genkai.

I wonder when my Sharingan will awaken...

Even if it's just One Tomoe, my strength would undergo a massive transformation!

Chang Rui's Surprise

In a room at the highest point of the combat arena, two middle-aged men leaned against the window, watching the battle below. The man with the square face spoke to his companion, "Old Xia, what do you think? My son isn't bad, right?"

He was Yang Long, Yang Liu's father, a famous Ice Release ninja in Yang City Base City. Possessing the strength of an Elite Chunin, he was considered a top-tier powerhouse in Yang City.

"Not bad." The man he called Old Xia was dressed in black, his head sporting a shiny, bald pate that made him look quite distinctive.

However, that wasn't his most unique feature. What drew the most attention were his eyes; the pupils, like Xia Xueqing's, lacked even a hint of black. They were Byakugan!

He was Xia Ling, Xia Xueqing's uncle, the second-in-command of the Xia Family and one of the few Jonin powerhouses in Yang City!

Hearing this Xia Family Jonin acknowledge his son, Yang Long felt a surge of pride.

"Although this brat's speed at refining chakra isn't much to write home about, he inherited my Ice Release Kekkei Genkai at such a young age. He's bound to be more successful than me in the future."

"Mm, the earlier a Kekkei Genkai awakens, the better," Xia Ling nodded.

As a Jonin who possessed the Byakugan, he understood Kekkei Genkai very well.

The earlier it awakened, the sooner one could fuse chakra nature transformations, and these transformations would subtly alter a ninja's physical constitution.

The stronger a ninja's physical constitution, the faster they could refine chakra and the larger their chakra reserves would be, laying a solid foundation for becoming a powerhouse later on.

Watching his son walk off the arena and Xia Xueqing's team take the stage, Yang Long revealed a faint smile.

"Old Xia, it looks like your girl is going to miss out on the championship in this Yang City campus tournament."

As an Elite Chunin, he could naturally see the gap between Xia Xueqing's teammates and Yang Liu's, and a quick comparison in his mind told him the result.

Although Xia Xueqing was formidable in taijutsu, she lacked long-range ninjutsu and posed no threat to his son.

As for Chang Rui and Wen Yuanyuan, their strengths were similar; even if they could win, it would be a bitter struggle, and that was the best-case scenario.

As for Yan Zheng and Su Bai, in his eyes, there was no comparison... Whether it was chakra volume or the mastery of the C-rank ninjutsu Great Fireball, Yan Zheng was superior to Su Bai, who had scarce chakra and had only mastered a single D-rank ninjutsu.

Therefore, he believed his son's team was guaranteed to win.

"Heh, that's not necessarily true."

"Oh? Do you really think your girl will win?"

"It's too early to say. Let's wait and see." Xia Ling's gaze lingered on Su Bai for a moment, and he offered a mysterious smile.

Yang Long was not a sensory ninja, and they were over 200 meters away from the arena, so he couldn't discern Su Bai's true strength.

But Xia Ling was different. He possessed sensory abilities, and with the Byakugan—a Kekkei Genkai with incredible insight—he could naturally see through Su Bai's strength at a glance. He felt a flicker of curiosity.

This brat who dared to tease Xueqing has no background and no talent. How did he train his chakra volume? It's actually higher than Xueqing's?

The speed at which one refined chakra was related to the meridians in the body, and the Byakugan was a Kekkei Genkai that could see through a person's meridians.

Xia Ling saw at a glance that Su Bai's physical constitution was average, perhaps even poor. By all logic, he shouldn't possess such vast chakra reserves...

Could it be that his control over chakra is exceptionally refined, leading to a faster refining speed? Xia Ling considered this possibility in his mind.

At this moment, Su Bai was unaware that he had surprised Xia Xueqing's uncle, the second-in-command of the Xia Family. Now, it was his turn to take the stage.

As the second semi-final match began, Su Bai, Xia Xueqing, and Chang Rui stepped onto the arena, joined by three boys from the aristocratic school.

"Su Bai, these three have chakra levels around four Kage. They aren't a match for Xueqing and me. So, once the battle starts, be careful and don't get caught in our crossfire," Chang Rui said calmly, her eyes fixed on their opponents.

Su Bai was stunned. He hadn't expected the girl who usually loved to belittle him to say something like that...

Heh, it seems Xueqing was right. This girl has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Su Bai looked at Chang Rui, who was dressed in black leather gear and looked highly capable, and shook his head with a smile. "Feel free to fight with everything you've got. Don't worry about me."

He no longer intended to hide his strength.

The three opponents across from them were not weak. If he didn't contribute, even if Xueqing and Chang Rui managed to win, it would be a difficult victory.

If they exhausted too much chakra, it would be a heavy loss for the next match against Wen Yuanyuan's team.

Xia Xueqing knew his strength and said to Chang Rui, "Sister Rui, Su Bai is definitely going to give you a surprise."

"What do you mean?" Chang Rui turned her head to look at the cryptic Xueqing, a look of confusion on her face.

However, she didn't remain confused for long; it immediately turned into shock!

"The match begins!"

As the referee gave the order, Su Bai immediately formed hand seals.

"What is he doing? Does he want to release ninjutsu from such a distance?"

The three opponents across from them watched Su Bai, who was forming seals, with confusion. At this moment, the distance between them was 300 meters.

"Don't be intimidated by him. The Double Suicide Decapitation Technique can't reach us from this distance!" one of the boys said, and his two teammates nodded immediately.

"Su Bai, you..." Chang Rui noticed the massive amount of chakra radiating from him, her small mouth agape in astonishment.

Su Bai held the final hand seal, his ninjutsu fully prepared and ready to be unleashed at any moment.

"Xia Xueqing, Chang Rui, I'll take the boy in the middle, you two handle the others!"

"Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!"

Whoosh!

Su Bai vanished into the ground!

"What?!"

The boy in the middle suddenly felt his right foot being grabbed. Before he could even look down to see what it was, his entire body was dragged into the earth, leaving only his head exposed above the surface!

His two teammates were stunned, caught completely off guard by Su Bai!

They never imagined that Su Bai could bridge a distance of 300 meters so quickly!

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Gentle Fist!"

At that moment, two sharp cries rang out. Taking advantage of their opponents' distraction, Chang Rui and Xia Xueqing had already closed the distance!

Boom!

Chang Rui exhaled a powerful gust of wind, sending the two boys stumbling and reeling.

Although her "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough" lacked lethal force, it effectively restricted the opponents' movement, creating the perfect opening for Xia Xueqing to close in.

Xia Xueqing did not disappoint; once in range, her slender fingers struck rapidly at the two opponents. Instantly, the boys felt their chakra spiraling out of control, as if their meridians had been blocked.

This was the pressure point strike of the Gentle Fist Style, capable of temporarily stripping an opponent of their ability to control chakra.

In the blink of an eye, one opponent had been buried underground by Su Bai, while the other two had their meridians sealed by Xia Xueqing.
