Time flew by, and several hours passed in the blink of an eye.
At noon, Might Guy finally finished his explanation.
Lin Mu's eyes shone. As soon as Might Guy stopped speaking, he asked:
"There's still one thing I don't quite understand. Since everyone's body differs in strength, does the difficulty of opening the Eight Gates differ too?"
Might Guy looked at Lin Mu, recalling his unique constitution.
That was certainly a question worth asking.
He considered it for a while before slowly replying:
"The Eight Gates is a forbidden technique. Very few people practice it, so there's little data to study.
But based on my own experience, different levels of physical strength naturally mean different limits.
By the same token, the stronger your body, the harder the gates are to open-and the greater the power they unleash!"
Lin Mu nodded slightly. Now he understood.
His wood style body offered both advantages and disadvantages when practicing the Eight Gates.
The advantage was that once he released his body's restraints, he would gain even greater power.
The disadvantage was equally obvious. His powerful body had a higher ceiling, making each restraint much harder to release.
Of course, that was how the world had always worked. The more you put in, the more you got out.
His strength alone already allowed him to contend with Rock Lee using four or five gates.

Follow the method I taught you earlier and see whether you can open the first gate."
Lin Mu stood and bowed deeply.
"Thank you for teaching me, Guy-sensei!"
He was filled
