Torashiki stared in shock. "Y-you-you... are you really my big brother??"
Yu nodded with a smile.
Torashiki remained cautious. "B-but you say you're my big brother. Do you have any proof? I can't sense even a trace of Chakra from you!"
Yu said, "Though I no longer have Chakra, my Diamond Body remains. If you don't believe me, poke me and see."
Torashiki hesitated. "Th-this... Big Brother's skin is so delicate. I'm afraid I might poke you too hard!"
Yu said, "Don't be afraid. Go on~."
Thus, Torashiki cautiously extended his hand and poked Yu's cheek with the sharp, curved claws at his fingertips.

It was absolutely not something an ordinary mortal body could possess!
Torashiki was astonished. "This... It clearly feels soft, yet it's unbelievably firm! Is this really the Diamond Body? Why does something feel off!!"
Torashiki deliberately pinched his own tiger hide, comparing its texture.
Yu said, "The Diamond Body is an art of ultimate hardness, but once cultivated to its highest realm, it can even refine a trace of ultimate softness. You could call it Diamond Body 10 Plus!"

Yu hurried forward to support him. "Shh! There are too many eyes around. Don't make a scene!"
Torashiki immediately looked around. Other than the Heavenly Giant Turtle silently waiting on the Heaven-Piercing River to carry the two of them across, there was no one else nearby!
Though Torashiki found it strange, he figured Big Brother naturally had his reasons. He
