Aside from the initial few busy days, Bai Sui gradually became more accustomed to multitasking during the subsequent military exercises, and thus was no longer as exhausted. She began to try to organize her gains from the process.
As time went by, the joint military exercise, which lasted for more than a month, finally came to an end. Bai Sui returned to the Grand Preceptor's Mansion and locked himself in his study for three whole days to rest before he could recover.
During this time, no one in Land of Kang dared to disturb him. On the one hand, they were amazed by Bai Sui's strength, and on the other hand, the King of Kang and others thought that Bai Sui Bai Sui was researching Kekkei Genkai, and they were afraid that disturbing him at this time would disrupt his thinking.
They were unaware that Bai Sui was merely resting. It wasn't until after Bai Sui left that King of Kang and the others sent someone to inquire about her well-being and subtly try to find out about Bai Sui's progress.
"Ahem, that Kekkei Genkai, it's making great progress. We've got a lead, and we should be able to conduct physical testing soon. Don't rush it; these things can't be rushed. After all, if something goes wrong, it could directly affect a person's entire life..."
Realizing the other party's true intentions, Bai Sui felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, she had completely forgotten about this matter in the past few days. Although she had made preparations during the military exercise, it was best to gloss over it for now.
After seeing off the people who came to offer their condolences, Bai Sui once again locked himself in his study.
Of course, since the Inner Landscape of Bai Sui's room essentially encompasses the entire panorama of Land of Kang, Bai Sui can instantly travel to any location in Land of Kang if she wishes; the so-called study is merely a facade.
Not only that, after discovering that he could teleport to any location within his own Inner Landscape, Bai Sui abandoned even the Chamber of Secrets under his study. Instead of demolishing it, he turned it into a fake room to deceive others.
The real Chamber of Secrets had been placed by Bai Sui on a cliff deep in the mountains. Since he could reach it instantly if he wanted, the more hidden it was, the better.
In his secluded Chamber of Secrets, Bai Sui was making final summaries and deductions, organizing the unique Rhythm of various Kekkei Genkai, and finally successfully deciphering several Kekkei Genkai.
Among them are the Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku, which Bai Sui pays special attention to, as well as other techniques such as Swift Release, Transparent Release, Lava Release, Typhoon Release, Scorch Release, and Boil Release.
Since Bai Sui herself hasn't experimented on herself, she doesn't know the specific effects yet, but at least it can be used to get by.
Of course, with so many Kekkei Genkai, Bai Sui wouldn't take them all out at once. He decided to take out one Scorch Release first, and save the rest as backups for when he wanted to slack off later. Also, he was afraid of scaring them by taking out too many at once.
As for why he chose the Scorch Release, Bai Sui had considered it. First of all, the basic chakra attribute of this Kekkei Genkai is fire. Then, based on the fire attribute chakra, he developed wind to combine with it.
Although a ninja's chakra attribute is not entirely based on region, it is indeed influenced by certain environmental factors. For example, many ninja clans that lived in and around the Land of Fire had fire as their chakra attribute, which is relatively more compatible with this Kekkei Genkai.
After all, Bai Sui hadn't experimented on himself, so he didn't know yet whether chakra without this attribute would be compatible with this Kekkei Genkai, or what abnormalities might occur. Therefore, it was safer to choose an attribute that most people had.
Another point is that the ability of this Scorch Release allows for the control of high temperatures, making it extremely powerful for both attack and defense at close range.
It took another half month before Bai Sui finally emerged from his study and immediately sent someone to inform King of Kang, instructing him to summon his key officials for a meeting.
King of Kang and his people had been waiting for this day for far too long; they had been eagerly anticipating it. Finally, the Bai Sui appeared.
The crowd remained gathered in the court, their eyes fixed on Bai Sui Bai Sui, fearing they might hear some bad news from him.
Although Bai Sui's act of having King of Kang summon everyone already hinted at something, the matter was still subject to change as long as Bai Sui didn't give a direct confirmation.
"Gentlemen, I have successfully completed my mission. After nearly two months, I have finally replicated a Kekkei Genkai."
"But I must make it clear first, although I have replicated this Kekkei Genkai, its specific effects on a person are still unknown until we conduct experiments." Bai Sui didn't keep them in suspense and made the final decision, confirming the success of the matter.
"May I ask, Grand Preceptor, when will the human experiments begin? Is there anything we need to prepare in advance?" Someone immediately chimed in, clearly eager to witness this new Kekkei Genkai.
Bai Sui said, "There really is. You know, the Kekkei Genkai I'm replicating right now is Scorch Release. Unlike Red Eye, which only requires eye power, Scorch Release has chakra attribute requirements. It is fire and wind chakra."
Therefore, to avoid any unnecessary complications, the first batch of experimental personnel were required to have only these two attributes; other attributes would be considered after success.
Everyone readily agreed to Bai Sui's request and immediately arranged for people to make preparations. After that, the matter was no longer Bai Sui's concern, and they were preparing to leave.
Unexpectedly, King of Kang kept him there, saying that the Uzumaki Clan's clan meeting would be held that evening, and that it was of great importance, hoping that Bai Sui could attend.
Bai Sui nodded, indicating that there was no problem. At the same time, she felt a little emotional, as she had rarely attended clan meetings since she was appointed as Grand Preceptor. This was partly because the meetings were held much less frequently, and partly because Bai Sui was not interested in them.
After all, the reason he participated before was entirely because the Uzumaki Clan provided various conveniences to Bai Sui. Now that it's the entire Land of Kang, Bai Sui doesn't care much about it anymore.
After dinner, Bai Sui arrived at the shrine of the Uzumaki Clan. Upon seeing Bai Sui's arrival, someone immediately stepped forward to lead the way, guiding Bai Sui to a seat in the front row, where they awaited the start of the meeting.
Soon, everyone arrived. Bai Sui looked around and found that there were not many familiar faces left. The original First Elder had resigned from all his positions three years ago and passed away a year later. The Third Elder followed suit and left as well.
Bai Sui is no longer the Fourth Elder, but the Second Elder. As for the former Fifth Elder, now the Third Elder, he can no longer maintain his youthful appearance and has aged very quickly in recent times.
As for the newly appointed Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder, Bai Sui had basically no dealings with them. He knew who they were, but he wasn't very familiar with them.
It seems quite a few people keep books as pets. I enjoy keeping books too when I'm reading. Just remember to check back after you've kept yours for a while!
The average daily subscriptions recently dropped from over 700 to 600. I was hoping to get a recommendation from the editor when the average daily subscriptions reached 800, but it looks like that's out of the question...
