Back in the crude resting corner assigned to him.
Tianyi finally had a moment to catch his breath.
The thick canvas blocked out most of the noise outside.
Only the faint crackling of distant campfires reached him.
He carefully took out the Book of Ten Thousand Worlds.
His heart raced with anticipation.
After that frenzied day of treatment, after saving so many people, would he receive a generous skill point reward?
He focused his mind and silently summoned the panel.
A faint glow rose, and the azure data interface floated before him once more.
[Holder: Hyuga Tianyi] [Status: Exhausted (Recovering)] [Energy System: Chakra (Half Card)] [Chakra Attributes: Lightning, Earth, Water] [Overall Assessment: Genin] [Basic Attributes] Ninjutsu: 3 (Chakra control, understanding of techniques, and casting speed) Body: 4 (Physical strength, speed, power, endurance, and neural reflexes) Genjutsu: 4 (Mental strength, willpower resistance, and sensory acuity) [Mastered Skills] · Three-Body Technique (Clone/Substitution/Transformation): Beginner · Gentle Fist: Pressure Point Technique, Empty Palm · Kekkei Genkai: Byakugan (Incomplete) · First Aid: Intermediate [Available Skill Points: 2 (Skill points can be obtained through special events)]
His gaze went straight to the bottom.
There was one more point!
Tianyi was delighted, but he immediately calmed down. It was only one extra point.
It seemed skill points truly were difficult to obtain.
He began pondering the panel.
I killed those two Hidden Rain Village Genin during the day, but my points didn't increase at all.
That means simply killing enemies at the Genin level no longer counts as a special event.
Perhaps his first kill had already triggered it, or perhaps Genin simply did not qualify.
Then this one point... was it for saving people? He carefully recalled the day's treatment process.
The act itself, within the Hidden Leaf Camp's medical system,
could be considered a special event, especially since it had earned Tsunade's personal attention and an exceptional promotion.
It seems the criteria for special events lean more toward actions that significantly affect one's own circumstances or the surrounding environment.
Or first-time or crucial actions involving a certain level of risk or breakthrough.
Tianyi analyzed it. The first desperate counterattack might count. The first large-scale, high-difficulty emergency treatment also counts.
But repeatedly killing Genin, or performing emergency treatment on a similar scale again later, might not earn anything.
He considered a possibility. Perhaps killing stronger enemies, like Chunin or even Jonin, would trigger it?
But that would also mean greater risk.
He kept that guess in mind.
Besides, the fact that saving people earned points also shows that the system does not encourage mindless slaughter.
That put him somewhat at ease. At least his medical path did not conflict with the system's underlying tendencies.
He looked at those precious two skill points. Where should he spend them?
On medical skills? Intermediate was sufficient for now, and Aoi had given him a scroll he could study first.
On attributes? Without the necessary knowledge or opportunity, it might be a waste.
"Detoxification Technique... Hanzo..." he murmured those two words.
If he wanted to survive on the coming battlefield,
and gain more chances at special events,
cracking Hanzo's poison was the key!!! Mastering that would not only raise his standing in Leaf Village,
but also earn him crucial skill points. Killing two birds with one stone.
With that in mind, Tianyi left the tent and found Mitarai Aoi, who was still organizing the medicine inventory.
"Big Sister Aoi."
He lowered his voice.
"I'd like to request a little... sample of Hanzo's poison.
Even a tiny bit of residue or a piece of contaminated cloth would do."
Aoi abruptly looked up, her eyes full of shock and vigilance. "What do you need that for? That's far too dangerous!
Even trace residue can be fatal if mishandled!"
Tianyi had already prepared an excuse. He pointed toward his forehead.
His gaze was earnest. "My Byakugan might be able to see traces of chakra or the material structure left behind by toxins inside the human body
or on objects.
I want to see whether I can combine that with the Detoxification Technique scroll you gave me
and find a more direct way to sense it.
Even if I only become familiar with its aura, it might give us an extra warning on the battlefield."
The reason was half true and half false, but it sounded logical.
Especially when paired with the insight he had displayed during the day.
Aoi stared at him for several seconds, seemingly weighing the risks.
In the end, perhaps it was some degree of trust in Tianyi's abilities
and her deep concern over Hanzo's poison that prevailed.
She silently took a scroll from behind her waist. After undoing its seal, a sealed glass jar appeared.
Tianyi stared in amazement. It was a spatial-type scroll.
He needed to get one someday and send it back to the country for research. It was an invaluable tool.
Then Aoi took out two gas masks and had Tianyi put one on as well. After they donned the masks and gloves,
she used specially made tweezers to carefully pinch out a small piece of dark purple, dried, hardened cloth from an edge.
She placed it into a smaller sealed glass tube and handed it to Tianyi.
"This was cut from the clothing of a comrade who unfortunately died this morning.
It was confirmed to have been contaminated by Hidden Rain Village poison mist. Its toxicity has weakened, but it remains extremely dangerous.
You may only observe it under absolutely safe conditions, using chakra to isolate all contact.
Inhaling it in any form or touching it directly with your skin is strictly forbidden!"
Her tone was harsher than ever before.
"I understand! Thank you, Big Sister Aoi." Tianyi solemnly accepted it and carefully put it away.
He had obtained it. As long as he sent it to the country tonight and relied on the nation's scientific research capabilities,
they would surely be able to produce an antivenom serum.
By the time he returned to his tent, it was nearly ten o'clock.
He quickly organized his thoughts and the items he needed to send:
A sample of Hanzo's poison.
The Basic Medical Ninjutsu scroll.
And the day's developments: he had gained Tsunade's approval and joined the core frontline medical team;
the greatest current threat to collective survival was Hanzo's poison, and a solution or protective measure was urgently needed;
right, he also needed to include the known effects of the poison mist: corrosion, neural paralysis, rapid death, and so on.
At exactly 22:00, the Book of Ten Thousand Worlds glowed faintly on schedule.
"Commander Tian, can you hear me?" Tianyi spoke quickly.
The base command center.
"Received! Comrade Fang Tianyi, go ahead!" Old Li replied at once.
In the background was the sound of many people holding their breath.
Tianyi reported in the most concise terms how he had been summoned during the day and assigned to Tsunade's direct medical team.
Then he focused on the poison threat.
"The greatest threat at present is not ordinary enemies, but the deadly poison of the enemy leader, Hanzo.
The Leaf Village frontline has suffered devastating casualties because of it, and existing medical methods cannot handle it.
I managed to acquire a trace sample of poison residue and am transmitting it now.
I am also transmitting a Basic Medical Ninjutsu scroll from this side.
I hope it can help the country study the chakra system, especially how chakra can counter toxicity."
As he spoke, he placed the sealed glass tube and the scroll atop the book's pages.
A flash of faint light passed, and the two items vanished.
Inside the command center, they received a test tube containing strange purple residue and an ancient scroll.
"A poison sample, a biological toxin sample from another world!"
"And materials on the system's energy medicine!"
"Quick! Activate the highest-level biochemical protection protocols and immediately notify the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Military Medical Academy, and the directors and chief experts of every top toxicology and biochemistry laboratory!
Tell them to bring their core teams and rush to the base at maximum speed!"
Commander-in-Chief Tian Weidong issued one decisive order after another.
"Establish a special poison-breaking task force. At any cost, analyze its components and search for ways to neutralize or block it!"
Only a few hours later, the foremost experts in related fields from across the country
were either awakened from sleep by confidential calls or urgently summoned from their laboratories.
By special aircraft or high-speed military trains, under absolute secrecy, they converged on the Deep Mountain Base.
At the same time, Commander Tian relayed key developments to Tianyi:
Comrade Fang Tianyi.
The basic chakra theory you sent back
has already given the research team an initial direction!
