The Mysteries of Monstrous Strength

The Kingdom of Grass was ultimately just a small country. Beyond it lay the Land of Waves, the Land of Hawks, the Land of Hot Water, and even the Five Great Nations!

Looking across the ninja world, there were figures nearly akin to gods, such as the Six Paths Sage, Black Zetsu, and even Kaguya!

He was still too weak. He needed to keep strengthening himself!

By the time he returned to the orphanage, it was already evening.

When everyone saw him, their expressions were complicated as they made way for him.

Yang Ming did not care. He casually found something to eat, filled his stomach, then returned to his room, sat cross-legged, and entered meditation.

The system had granted him two powerful abilities: the Sage Body and Monstrous Strength. He still needed to familiarize himself with them before he could wield them freely!

When he ran into the orphanage director, Gong Lizi greeted him politely.

Her attitude was somewhat more courteous than before, even carrying a hint of ingratiation, as though she wanted to mend their broken relationship.

However, Yang Ming walked right past her without acknowledging her. Their relationship had already shattered beyond repair!

Gong Lizi immediately felt deeply embarrassed, but a flash of anger soon passed through her eyes!

"I am still the dignified director of this orphanage. Even if you saved everyone today, if I hadn't promptly informed Lord Shui Daiyi, did you think you could have returned safely?"

"Hmph!"

With that thought, Gong Lizi sneered coldly and stopped paying attention to Yang Ming, that arrogant little brat!

After leading everyone away, she had immediately notified Shui Daiyi. Otherwise, no matter how strong Shui Daiyi's sensory abilities were, how could he have found Yang Ming so accurately in such a short time?

Yet despite thinking so, when she recalled the sight of Yang Ming suppressing Chong Chunyi and the others with a single punch, a trace of regret arose in her heart!

"Could it be that I missed out on such a talented child?"

However, no matter what she thought, Yang Ming no longer cared.

He returned to his room and sat quietly in meditation.

After one night, he felt refreshed and clear-headed. His grasp of Monstrous Strength and the Sage Body had deepened by another degree.

Strictly speaking, Monstrous Strength was not taijutsu. It was merely a special application of chakra!

It compressed chakra at high speed and concentrated it into a single point, creating a powerful instantaneous burst!

Like Hashirama Senju, who could compress chakra to an extreme and gather it around his entire body. Every gesture he made brimmed with overwhelming presence. Even without lifting a hand, merely leaking chakra was enough to give the Third Hokage and Fourth Hokage a fright.

Even someone as proud as Sasuke would break out in a cold sweat!

Of course, Yang Ming still had a long way to go before he could reach Hashirama Senju's level, where his aura alone could dominate the world!

True taijutsu was like Might Guy's, where every punch and kick struck solid flesh!

"Though it isn't true taijutsu, its power is more than enough. At the very least, it's no weaker than ninjutsu!"

With that thought, Yang Ming got up, left the orphanage, and headed toward the ninja academy.

He had already obtained a spot. With Asao Jun's influence, securing a mere student placement was nothing at all.

Following his memories, Yang Ming made his way to the Grass Ninja Academy in Grass Ninja Village!

Compared with Konoha's ninja academy from his memories of his previous life, the Grass Ninja Academy before him could only be called shabby!

Still, it was passable. At least the classrooms had everything they needed.

The ninja academy had only one class. Most of the students were five- or six-year-old children, though some were older, seven or eight. They were the future hope of Grass Ninja Village.

One batch after another!

Though these children were young, they already understood the cruelty of the ninja world. Each of them had begun to show the bearing of someone capable of standing on their own.

By the time Yang Ming arrived, new student enrollment had already ended. He spotted Guan Shang and Jin Cou. The teacher was currently giving a lesson.

Yang Ming walked straight in, immediately drawing everyone's attention!
