"Ding... Achievement unlocked: Become a student at the Ninja Academy! Reward: Beginner Three-Body Technique—Transformation Technique, Substitution Technique, Clone Technique"

After Liuxia chose to claim the reward, a mysterious force suddenly surged into his mind.

The hand signs and techniques for the Three-Body Technique flooded into his mind like a rising tide, blending with his thoughts. The knowledge felt so familiar, as if he had mastered it long ago and was merely awakening those memories now.

If they hadn't been in class at that very moment, Liuxia would have been itching to try out these amazing techniques right away.

He could feel what seemed like limitless potential within him, just waiting to be unleashed. However, reason told him to hold back and not use his techniques carelessly in class.

Just then, after the introductions were over, Teacher Sato stepped up to the lectern and began explaining the first lesson of the day: chakra extraction.

For a ninja, chakra was undoubtedly the most vital source of energy. It was not only the foundation for using ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, but also an important measure of a ninja's strength.

After all, the purpose of the Ninja Academy was to train excellent ninjas for the village.

Whether it was dazzling ninjutsu, powerful taijutsu, or even the mysterious and unpredictable genjutsu, all of them ultimately depended on a strong supply of chakra. Only those with enough chakra and the ability to control it freely could truly become exceptional ninjas.

Therefore, learning how to extract and use chakra efficiently was a required lesson for every ninja student.

After listening intently for a while, Liuxia realized that the material taught here was simpler and more basic than what Tsunade had taught him.

Perhaps the lessons had been adjusted with students from ordinary families in mind!

After all, children from prestigious clans often had their own ninjas guiding them in advance, teaching them how to sense and use chakra. This ensured they wouldn't fall behind other clan members once they started at the Ninja Academy.

When the end-of-class bell rang abruptly, Sato Ichiro sprang into action like a startled bird. He gathered his things from the desk in a flash, then dashed out of the classroom at top speed.

The classroom, quiet until then, instantly grew noisy. But the girls didn't seem to notice; their eyes all turned toward Liuxia, who was sitting in the corner.

Outside the window, the sun shone brightly, casting dappled shadows on the windowsill through the leaves.

A gentle breeze carried the scent of flowers, soothing the soul. Liuxia had sharp brows and bright eyes, with a face as handsome as fine jade. A faint smile always played on his lips, and sunlight streamed through the window onto him, as if draping him in a golden glow.

The sight stirred the girls' hearts, their eyes revealing barely contained curiosity and anticipation.

But at that moment, a figure appeared beside Nawaki and Liuxia like a ghost.

It was Uchiha Yan. He looked at the two of them arrogantly and said, "You're from the Senju Clan, right? I challenge you! I'll show you that the Uchiha Clan is the strongest ninja clan in Konoha!"

Uchiha Yan's challenge broke through the hubbub of the classroom. His voice echoed through the room, and everyone stopped what they were doing to watch the confrontation about to unfold.

The air in the classroom seemed to freeze. Only the tense standoff between Uchiha Yan and the two boys from the Senju Clan remained.

Sunlight fell on Uchiha Yan, stretching his shadow long across the classroom floor.

Liuxia sat by the window, sunlight falling across his handsome face and lending him an air of mystery. His gaze was resolute, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, as though he were confident about the challenge to come.

Nawaki stood nearby, brows furrowed, his eyes flashing with defiance.

This challenge was about more than a personal contest. It was a clash between the honor of two clans.

Uchiha Yan stood in the middle of the classroom, his figure seeming especially imposing in the sunlight.

His eyes brimmed with confidence and determination, as if he could already see victory within reach.

Nawaki and Liuxia exchanged a glance. They both saw a hint of helplessness in the other's eyes.

"Uchiha Yan, don't take it too far," Nawaki said, his expression darkening. "This is a classroom, not a place where you can cause trouble whenever you feel like it."

"Hmph. Are you scared?" Uchiha Yan said scornfully. "If you don't dare accept my challenge, then admit that your Senju Clan is inferior to our Uchiha Clan."

"Fine, we accept your challenge," Liuxia said calmly. "But since it's a challenge, there should be something at stake."

"If you lose, you'll apologize to me in front of everyone and admit that the Uchiha Clan is the strongest," Uchiha Yan said smugly.

"What if you lose?" Nawaki asked.

"I won't lose," Uchiha Yan said confidently.

"Arrogant fool." Nawaki gave a cold laugh. "If you lose, you have to bark like a dog three times."

"Fine. It's a deal!" Uchiha Yan gritted his teeth. He was sure he couldn't lose.

"Come on. Let's go to the training ground. I'll show you what the Uchiha are made of!"

The students around them began whispering. Some were excited, some worried, and some curious.

They knew this duel would become a major topic at the Ninja Academy and might even affect the relationship between the two clans.

Amid the tension, Liuxia and Nawaki slowly stood up. Together with Uchiha Yan, they left the classroom and headed for the training ground.

Beneath the sun, the three boys walked side by side, as if their strides heralded the fierce contest about to begin.

The training ground was bright with sunshine, and a gentle breeze stirred the air. Trees stood lush and green, and colorful flowers dotted the grass. Yet in this beautiful setting, a contest of honor and strength was about to unfold.

The three boys stood in the middle of the training ground, ready to begin their duel.

The other students gathered around. Some watched from farther away, while others moved closer to get a better look.

They knew the duel would be exciting—and might even become an unforgettable moment in their ninja careers.

Beneath the sun, the three boys' shadows stretched across the grass.

They prepared to face the challenge ahead. The students around them held their breath, waiting for the duel to begin.
