"Byakugan! Activate!!!"
With an angry roar, Neji Hyuga instantly mobilized the Chakra within his body.
At once, a white pupil emerged within his dark eyes, while the muscles and veins on his face became distinctly visible.
"What?! Is this the Byakugan the Hyuga Clan is so proud of?!"
"I heard the Byakugan's power can perceive an enemy's movements!"
"Not only that! It can even see straight through an enemy's meridians! That's too powerful!"
Seeing this, many people were shocked.
The Byakugan could actually see through an enemy's meridians?
No wonder everyone feared the Hyuga Clan so much!
This power really was terrifying!
"However, this level of ninjutsu is still utterly worthless before me!"
Seeing the Byakugan flare to life in Neji Hyuga's eyes, Zhi Ge showed a hint of disdain. Then, with a slight push off the ground, his body vanished from where he stood!
In the next instant, Zhi Ge appeared beside Neji Hyuga, his hands clenched into fists as he smashed toward Neji Hyuga's head.
"Hmph!"
Sensing the fierce wind coming from behind him, Neji Hyuga snorted coldly and instantly shifted aside, evading the deadly punch.
Bang!
Crack!
In the next instant, Neji Hyuga suddenly halted in midair, then stomped hard against the ground with both feet and shot toward Zhi Ge like a cannonball.
Rumble!
The next moment, Neji Hyuga and Zhi Ge collided, sending an invisible blast wave surging outward.
"What?!"
"How is that possible?"
Seeing this, many of the surrounding ninjas wore looks of utter disbelief.
They had never expected Zhi Ge, who had just been suppressed by Neji Hyuga, to launch a counterattack now!
"What is going on with this guy's strength?! He actually became stronger after I activated the Byakugan!"
At that moment, even Neji Hyuga stared at Zhi Ge in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Just now, Zhi Ge's attacks had clearly become sharper and faster than before!
Even his speed had increased by several notches!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this point, the two had already engaged in close combat, constantly colliding and trading blows!
"This guy! He actually hid his strength?!"
A Leaf Ninja gasped at the sight and said, "Just how strong is he?!"
"That's right! His strength far exceeds that of an ordinary Genin!"
The other observing ninjas nodded repeatedly, their eyes filled with alarm.
"At this rate, it will be hard to predict who will win this match!"
Seeing this, everyone secretly began making their guesses.
Boom!
At that moment, Zhi Ge suddenly swung his fist and slammed it brutally into Neji Hyuga's chest.
Neji Hyuga, meanwhile, deflected Zhi Ge's incoming fist with a palm strike. In terms of Taijutsu mastery, the two were evenly matched.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
The two clashed without pause, and every collision erupted with dazzling flashes of light.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A succession of explosions rang out, and the entire plaza was engulfed in their fierce battle.
At this moment, Neji Hyuga's expression was incomparably grim, his eyes filled with gravity.
Because he knew that he was about to fall into a disadvantage!
Zhi Ge seemed tireless, fighting at full strength from beginning to end!
"Damn it!"
"I have to defeat him!"
At that moment, a blaze of anger ignited in Neji Hyuga's heart.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the next instant, he raised his right fist again and violently struck at Zhi Ge.
Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!
With that blow, Neji Hyuga directly unleashed his clan's secret technique.
Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!
This move was a secret, unrivaled art of the Hyuga Clan!
Within the clan, aside from a handful of elders and several core disciples of the main family, no one else could perform it!
This secret technique possessed astonishing power, and combined with the Byakugan's visual advantage, it could unleash its greatest strength!
Boom!
Crack!
A palm strike landed on Zhi Ge's left shoulder, instantly sending him flying back more than ten meters. His face also turned pale.
Neji Hyuga immediately appeared before Zhi Ge and pressed his advantage!
Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, Ninth Palm! Tenth Palm! Eleventh Palm!!!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With three consecutive palms, Neji Hyuga pushed the Hyuga Clan's secret technique to its limit, each strike carrying devastating destructive force.
This time, he had completely brought out the true essence of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!
Seeing this, many people stood stunned with their mouths agape, unable to believe what they were watching as the two figures continued to clash.
"Is this guy really from the Hyuga branch family?! How did his strength improve so quickly!?"
A Konoha higher-up saw the situation in the arena and could not help swallowing, his face full of disbelief.
After all, following the first three rounds of the exam, Zhi Ge had been publicly recognized as one of the top three contestants in Konoha!
Yet at this moment, he was unable to stop Neji Hyuga's Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms and was even at a disadvantage!
How could that not be shocking?!
"The Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms truly lives up to its reputation. It is worthy of being the Hyuga Clan's signature technique!"
Not far away, Neji Hyuga's uncle, Hyuga Hiashi, watched the scene with an involuntary smile in his eyes.
Neji Hyuga's talent far exceeded his expectations!
He could now be certain that Neji Hyuga was absolutely the future hope of the Hyuga Clan!
"What a pity! Although this kid is very strong, he is ultimately only a child of the branch family. His foundation is still too weak!"
Beside him, another senior Konoha ninja looked at Hyuga Hiashi and said with a smile:
"I think your Hyuga Clan should consider changing its heir!"
Hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi's expression shifted slightly before he smiled and said, "Yes, I truly have not yet decided on a candidate for the heir!"
"Besides, I think this kid's talent is among the very best in all of Konoha!"
In less than a minute, Neji Hyuga had unleashed all of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!
Yet Zhi Ge was still standing in the arena. What surprised Neji Hyuga even more was that, after taking the complete Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, this guy had not shed a single drop of blood!
"How is that possible?!"
At that moment, Neji Hyuga's eyes widened, filled with utter disbelief!
He had never expected his opponent's body to be so resilient!
"Hahahaha! I told you, I would knock you down!"
Zhi Ge threw back his head and laughed loudly.
At that moment, much of the Armament Haki covering his body had been dispersed by Neji Hyuga's attacks, but it was precisely this that had protected Zhi Ge's internal organs from the Gentle Fist's damage.
"You are the strongest opponent I have ever met! So next, you will get to witness my true strength!"
As his words fell, Zhi Ge's gaze suddenly sharpened!
