"What a fascinating and wonderful change..."
Ian felt the earth-shaking transformation inside his body and couldn't help but let out a low murmur. At this moment, his blood, bones and even soul seemed to be undergoing a high-dimensional baptism.
He slowly raised his intact left hand, without mobilizing even a trace of magic power and Battle Aura, and just casually punched forward out of thin air.
"Boom--!"
Accompanied by a deafening sound like a thunderbolt from the blue, his tiny body movements actually caused a sonic explosion in the air! The violent wind of the fist turned into a substantial air cannon, breaking all the towering trees within a few tens of meters in front, and twisting them into sawdust!
"Lumos." Ian spat out the most basic magic spell.
In an instant, a brilliant ball of light that was extremely dazzling, just like Miniature Sun, appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand! The terrifying high temperature and light emitted by this ball of light instantly dispelled the haze and fog that had persisted all year round in Shikkotsu Forest, illuminating the entire canyon like daylight!
"It only took a weak trace of magic power to explode with such a devastating power." Ian Blink's deep eyes shone with satisfaction. "This so-called' Magic Sage Mode', not only increased the strength of my body in all aspects, but also raised the destructive power of all arcane magic to a terrifying level. Moreover, this seems to be just its most basic surface ability."
Ian slowly closed his eyes, completely radiated his essence Divine Power, and began to carefully test his own perception field that was amplified by Infinity.
At this moment, his soul seemed to be integrated with the will of the entire planet! With just a thought, he could clearly sense the breath of life in every corner of the planet, and even every Natural Energy particle floating in the air was clearly reflected in his mind!
"My control over energy seems to have experienced an exaggerated surge." Ian whispered to himself. Then he decisively withdrew his attention and turned to the depths of his broken body.
There, an extremely violent Void Energy, filled with the aura of absolute destruction, was being suppressed and sealed by his huge magic power like a vast ocean. And within this Void Energy, there was still secretly dormant the unknown mysterious force that hindered the rebirth of his physical body.
"I... can actually control Void Energy!" Ian felt a violent storm in his heart.
You must know that before creating Magic Sage Mode, he could not directly interfere with this high-dimensional Void Law simply by relying on spiritual energy or soul strength; every time he came into contact with Void, he had to use various top-notch magic Divine Artifact or Empire's peak technology as an auxiliary medium.
"Although the current level of control is still at a very rudimentary stage, this is the first time in my life that I can directly control the power of Void with my physical body!" Ian's mouth evoked a fanatical smile. Even if he only got this one harvest from this trip to another world, it was definitely worth every penny!
After the ecstasy, Ian immediately calmed down Convergence's mind, and with the help of his skyrocketing perception, he began to deeply analyze the mysterious unknown power.
'This weird fluctuation... it's more like a remnant of will! It's the spiritual imprint left by the terrifying creature that attacked me in the Void turbulence!' Ian keenly understood the truth.
His brows frowned slightly, his brain was working rapidly, and a crazy and audacious idea flashed through his mind instantly: 'Since this is a pure will to destroy, why don't I use my own willpower to confront it head-on? Maybe, I can take this opportunity to practice it hard!'
Without any hesitation, Ian decisively mobilized all the willpower deep in his soul, turned it into an invisible sharp sword, and stabbed hard at the Void will in his body!
"Pfft--!"
The moment the two wills collided, Ian's physical body felt like it was being crushed by Lightning Strike. He spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper!
"You... are you okay?!" Tsunade, who had been waiting nervously aside, was shocked. He rushed forward and held Ian's remaining right arm with all his strength, his eyes full of worry.
"I'm very good." Ian wiped the corner of his mouth casually. His gamble was successful! In the brief and fatal mental confrontation just now, he truly felt the solidification and sublimation of his own willpower! He is completely sure that as long as he continues to use this almost masochistic method to sharpen himself, he will definitely be able to successfully break through the shackles and reach the eighth level of willpower threshold required by the system!
Of course, the prerequisite for this dangerous cultivation method is that he must ensure that his physical body is in peak condition.
"You're vomiting blood like this. Do you think this is how a healthy person should behave?" Tsunade glared at him angrily.
"It's not like you haven't seen me look even more miserable when I was blown up into a human stick." Ian chuckled nonchalantly. As Magic Sage Mode's crazy operation, the majestic vitality in his body exploded instantly, and the backlash internal injuries completely healed themselves in the blink of an eye.
Tsunade looked at his instantly rosy complexion and reluctantly handed over a tissue. Ian took it casually and wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth.
'If I want to perfectly maintain this Magic Sage Mode, the Natural Energy needed in my body will be a Astronomy number... I am afraid that it will be barely enough to drain the entire star system. ' Ian was rapidly conducting strategic deductions in his heart. 'Not only that, I must also thoroughly analyze the birth law of Natural Energy in order to create this energy source in the Empire natives.'
Magic Sage Mode and Ian have no intention to hide their secrets from sharing this heaven-defying Magic Sage Mode with the Arcane Empire. Once Empire's Archmages master this power, coupled with their already terrifying Arcane Spark, their leapfrogging combat capabilities will surely undergo a qualitative change!
Especially for those mages who are in the middle and low levels (0 to Tier 6), it will be as easy as eating and drinking to kill powerful enemies two or three levels higher than themselves!
After finishing his brief contemplation, Ian turned his head and looked at Tsunade, who was still supporting him carefully. "Do you want to learn this incredible Sage Mode?"
Tsunade's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he shook his head bitterly. "I have tried it in the early years. But I can't even cross the threshold of the most basic perception Natural Energy, let alone practice."
"That's because you haven't found the right method. With your superb chakra micro-manipulation talent Shinobi World, once you successfully perceive Natural Energy, you can perfectly combine it with mental and physical energy Fusion is definitely a matter of course. Looking at this planet, the only person who can surpass you in chakra control is probably your future precious apprentice Sakura Haruno." Ian said firmly.
"Sakura Haruno? Who is that? I have never had any apprentices." Tsunade frowned in confusion.
"Really? It seems that the future destiny of this planet has indeed been completely rewritten by my arrival." Ian touched his chin thoughtfully, "Listen to me, if you meet that pink-haired civilian girl in the future, you must decisively take her under your wing. Because in the original destiny line In less than three years, she completely surpassed you in Medical Ninjutsu's attainments and became the number one Medical Ninja in Shinobi World! She even perfectly mastered the Strength of a Hundred Seal and Creation Rebirth that you are proud of!"
"Only three years?! How is this possible!" Tsunade gasped in shock. She quickly searched Konoha's information on the major ninja clans in her mind and determined that the name Sakura Haruno definitely did not belong to any wealthy family that owned Kekkei Genkai.
How could a civilian ninja with no background possess such abnormal medical talent? This is definitely a rare and amazing genius!
"Don't worry about others for now, answer me directly: Do you want to learn or not?" Ian interrupted her exclamation impatiently.
"You... you really have a way to teach me?" Tsunade's long-dead heart began to beat violently again.
"Of course." Ian chuckled confidently.
"I want to learn! At any cost!" Tsunade answered loudly and resolutely.
"Very good. Then, Tsunade ji, who is honored to be my temporary apprentice, go to the tree over there and fold an ordinary branch for me." Ian gave the first instruction casually.
Tsunade's brows instantly knitted into the Chinese character "Sichuan": "Why don't you go get it yourself?"
"Sorry, I am now a weak and seriously injured patient." Ian confidently pointed to his empty lower body.
"You damn bastard..." Tsunade gritted her teeth in frustration, but for Sage Mode, she still walked over, broke off a branch, and handed it back.
Ian took the branch and casually drew a standard perfect circle on the soil. Then, his remaining right arm waved quickly like a butterfly through a flower, and a large number of complex and profound Arcane Runes and geometric patterns were precisely carved inside the circle. When the last stroke fell, this simple clay array actually exuded a strange and mysterious artistic beauty.
"Next, I need to extract a small amount of your chakra and spiritual energy. Relax and don't have any thoughts of resistance." Ian ordered seriously.
He pointed the branch accurately at Tsunade's eyebrows. As he thought, two energy threads, one blue and one white, were pulled out of Tsunade's body, and then smoothly integrated into the center of the magic array on the ground.
"Crackling--!"
Along with a burst of dazzling electric light Blink, the entire array was completely activated in an instant, bursting out with a dazzling light. When the light dissipated, the original soil and branches in the center of the array had disappeared, replaced by a strange device full of futuristic sci-fi color and similar to a virtual reality helmet!
"What... what is this? What kind of magic did you cast?" Tsunade's eyes widened in disbelief.
"It's just a trivial trick of reorganizing matter." Ian waved his hand casually, "I just disrupted the order of atoms in the surrounding air and soil, and then precisely reorganized them into what I needed. In fact, I could have just waved my hand and conjured it out of thin air, but considering that it would consume precious magic power, I could only use this tricky method."
"Could this be the legendary Creation of All Things of the Six Paths Immortal?!" Tsunade was so shocked that he took half a step back, and the shock in his heart could not be greater.
"You can understand it this way. The core principle of Six Paths Sage's technique is to forcibly rewrite 'fantasy' into 'reality', and can create everything in the world out of thin air. And objectively speaking, his technique is indeed much better than the little trick I am using now, because he can even create a real life with an independent soul." Ian gave a frank evaluation.
Tsunade glanced at him strangely. "Wow, the sun is really rising in the west. You, an arrogant guy, will one day admit that your skills are inferior to others?"
"I have never been a blind and arrogant person." Ian snorted disdainfully. "In the vast universe, I am keen to travel between different planets and dimensions to absorb the most brilliant wisdom crystals in their civilizations. On the road to pursuing absolute Truth, as long as the other party possesses profound knowledge that I have not touched, even if he is just a beggar, I will be happy to respect him as my teacher."
Tsunade stared at him in silence for a long time, and a hint of sincere respect finally flashed in his eyes. "It seems that I did seriously underestimate your pursuit of knowledge and Truth. I apologize to you for my rudeness just now."
"Forget the polite words." Ian simply pointed to the helmet on the ground, "This thing is an auxiliary device I customized for you. It has ten precise level settings built in, and each level can effectively lower the threshold for you to perceive Natural Energy. As long as you can successfully pass the first level, you can completely get rid of its assistance and freely perceive Natural Energy with your physical body."
"That is to say, the lower the level is set, the less assistance I can get, right?" Tsunade said it smartly.
"Exactly."
"Okay, then I can't wait to give it a try now."
Tsunade took a deep breath, decisively put the sci-fi helmet on his head, sat cross-legged skillfully, closed his eyes and entered a deep state of meditation.
Just a few minutes later, the originally calm Natural Energy around them began to stir. They seemed to be strongly attracted and rushed towards Tsunade's body crazily! This scene directly frightened Katsuyu, who had been quietly watching the show, out of his wits!
"Crack!"
Just when Katsuyu was about to scream out in surprise, Ian coldly picked up the branch in his hand and hit Tsunade on the back with precision and force! He arbitrarily dispersed Natural Energy who was about to lose control in her body, and narrowly prevented her from being turned into a stone statue by Natural Energy.
"Ouch! Why are you so cruel!" Tsunade grinned in pain and roared angrily.
"Stop talking nonsense! Concentrate your attention! Get rid of the remaining dangerous energy in your body immediately!" Ian reprimanded mercilessly.
Shocked by Ian's terrifying aura, Tsunade obediently shut her mouth, quickly adjusted her condition, adjusted the difficulty to level nine and continued to practice. After just half an hour, she was pleasantly surprised to find that she could finally clearly feel the flow of Natural Energy, and could slowly inhale it into her body.
Time passed quickly, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it! Why is this second level so difficult!" Tsunade pulled off his helmet irritably and complained in frustration.
"You can successfully reach the second level in just five days. Your talent is already outstanding." Ian gave a rare compliment. During these five days, he was not idle, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to the in-depth optimization of his Magic Sage Mode.
He perfectly integrated Three Great Sacred Lands's Sage Mode theory and seamlessly translated it into the underlying laws applicable to arcane magic.
During this period, he was even more surprised to discover a hidden passive of Magic Sage Mode: Absolute Resistance to All Attributes! This resistance is not only against magic damage, but also exempts from all forms of energy attacks in the world!
"Outstanding? Are you mocking me in a weird way?" Tsunade looked at him suspiciously.
"Little Tsunade, don't listen to his nonsense!" Katsuyu on the side interrupted excitedly, "The progress you have made in just five days is simply unprecedented!"
"But... I feel like I have encountered a bottleneck that is difficult to overcome. Do you have any shortcuts that can help me break through?" Tsunade turned to look at Ian eagerly.
"Your current situation is exactly the same as that of my wife Olivia." Ian accurately analyzed it, "Both of you have top-notch energy control, but your talent in energy perception is extremely bad."
"Why are you talking to me about your wife for no reason?" Tsunade raised his eyebrows unhappily, and there was an inexplicable sourness in his heart.
"Where's the bottle of Bloodline Awakening Potion I gave you before?" Ian ignored her little emotion and abruptly changed the subject.
"Does this have any necessary connection with my practice?"
"Completely awakening your powerful Senju Bloodline can essentially significantly increase the upper limit of your cultivation talent." Ian explained firmly.
Hearing this proposal, Tsunade fell into a rare silence. Her eyes flickered with complexity. "... If I awaken the power of the Senju clan in a high-profile way now, is this really the right choice for the current fragile political structure of Konoha?"
As a direct descendant of the Senju Clan, she knew clearly that it was precisely because of the invincible dominance of the First Generation and Second Hokage that Senju Clan's power in the village over-expanded. In the end, for the sake of the village To ensure long-term peace and stability, Senju Clan tragically chose to completely disband and blend into the civilian population secretly. If she shows Wood Release now, it will surely set off a political storm among Konoha's top brass.
Seeing her tangled look, Ian cruelly threw out a desperate Prophecy: "You'd better wake up. In less than twenty years, those high-dimensional universes Otsutsuki Clan will cast their eyes on destruction. To your tiny planet! By that time, your pathetic Shinobi World, the only the Chosen One you can barely count on are Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha!"
"So, if you don't want to become a spectator with no sense of existence in that Cataclysm, you'd better use any means to improve your weak strength now!"
"But... won't you come to rescue me when the time comes?" Tsunade blurted out subconsciously.
"Stop putting gold on yourself. I will never stay in this backward, poor place forever." Ian cruelly shattered her fantasy, "Once I have fully recovered from my injuries and got what I need, I will leave immediately without mercy."
"... You're right." Tsunade murmured absently. After a brief moment of loss, her iron-blooded will belonging to Legendary Sannin once again took over.
She decisively activated the Space Magic ring given by Ian, and quickly took out the bottle of Awakening Potions that exuded an alluring luster. Without any hesitation, she raised her white neck and drank it down boldly!
"Boom--!"
Almost instantly, a majestic, vast, terrifying life force that seemed to be able to break through her eight extraordinary meridians surged crazily inside her body!
Tsunade subconsciously formed the seal quickly, and the chakra in the body naturally produced a terrifying Nature Transformation.
"Crack--!"
Along with the shocking sound of breaking the ground, several huge, solid Wood Release giant fists violently broke out of the ground!
"Very good, let's go back and continue training." Ian ordered calmly.
The next day, Tsunade, completely reborn, finally sensed Natural Energy independently with his own power.
Two days later, under Ian's almost harsh devilish guidance, she successfully combined spiritual energy, physical energy with Natural Energy to perfectly Fusion, and started Sage Mode!
However, before Tsunade had time to enjoy the joy of success, she received an urgent call from Third Hokage.
