Mizunoki shook his head, utterly unconcerned.
His words brimmed with confidence.
"I know you studied under an expert and experienced the slaughter of the battlefield, tempered by life and death. You're different from me. But today, I brought an expert with me, someone no weaker than you. Master Huo Xuan, I leave this to you!"
Chong Chunyi did not argue with Mizunoki's words. He knew Mizunoki was telling the truth.
Though they were both genin, those who had been to the battlefield and those who had not were worlds apart.
Although their cultivation was the same, if they truly fought, he would probably be killed in an instant!
But Master Huo Xuan was different. Master Huo Xuan had also been to the battlefield, possessed formidable strength, and was proficient in Fire Style. He was Mizunoki's nemesis!
"You are Mizunoki? Leave at once, and I'll spare your life!"
Hearing this, Master Huo Xuan sneered and stepped forward, glaring at Mizunoki as he shouted.
"Master Huo Xuan, I've heard of your great name. A Fire Style expert from the Grass Ninja Village, capable of contending even against a chunin."
Mizunoki looked at Master Huo Xuan. Surprisingly, he actually knew who Master Huo Xuan was.
But his expression immediately changed, and his tone turned icy.
"However, you are no match for me. Perhaps after becoming a chunin, you might be able to fight me. But not now."
"Arrogant!"
Master Huo Xuan immediately sneered upon hearing those words.
"Whether I'm arrogant or not, we'll know once we fight. Make your move. Since you're standing up for Chong Chunyi, you're my enemy!"
Mizunoki said coldly, not taking Master Huo Xuan seriously at all.
"Is that so?"
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Master Huo Xuan sneered, formed hand seals with both hands, and completed them!
A fireball the size of a human head immediately shot from his mouth toward Mizunoki.
The flames were fierce, and it moved incredibly fast.
"Interesting. Watch me break your Fire Style."
"Water Style: Water Wall!"
Mizunoki gave a cold laugh, formed hand seals with both hands, and unleashed Water Style without yielding an inch.
A wall of water suddenly surged up around him, blocking the incoming fireball!
The fireball collided with the water vapor, sending intense steam billowing in every direction.
The steam spread out, covering a radius of ten meters and blurring everything.
Especially within the forest, where the dense foliage blocked the view, the scene before them became completely blank!
It was like a thick fog had settled over the woods!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
At that moment, leaves rustled, followed by the clanging of metal. The two had already begun fighting.
But the sounds lasted only seven breaths before the forest fell silent once more.
"Is it over?"
"Who won?"
Hearing nothing, Chong Chunyi could not help feeling uneasy.
About ten minutes later, the mist dispersed, and the view became clear again.
Sunlight streamed down, gleaming with golden light. Chong Chunyi squinted, but when he saw the scene before him, a chill rose from his back!
Master Huo Xuan's head was in Mizunoki's hand. The result was obvious: Master Huo Xuan had been killed by Mizunoki, and the battle had ended quickly.
Their strength was not on the same level at all.
Moreover, Mizunoki was now standing right before him, staring at him with an icy expression. Like a ghost, he stood utterly motionless!
Chong Chunyi was terrified!
"I told you, even though we are both genin, I am different from you. So what if it was Master Huo Xuan? Even if he had fought countless battles, he had never been on a battlefield, never undergone the trials of life and death, and never received the guidance of a famous master. We were simply on different levels. I could kill ten people of his caliber by myself!"
Mizunoki said indifferently as he looked at Chong Chunyi.
