Hyuga Satoru thought for a moment. "I'm not sure. Every Magnet Release ability seems to be different. Maybe my Magnet Release is more sensitive to metal like Shuriken and the like!"
"Is that so?" Uchiha Rin frowned.
She had gone through her clan's collection of books and knew a fair bit about Magnet Release. The strongest Magnet Release ninja alive was the Sand Village's Third Kazekage. His Sand Iron Secret Technique could even suppress the One-Tail, earning him the title of the strongest Kazekage in history.
But that title was clearly inflated. His Magnet Release ability controlled sand iron and only slightly interfered with Metal Ninja Tools. There was no way he could control them as freely as Hyuga Satoru did!
If an ability that controlled Metal Ninja Tools grew stronger, how terrifying would it become? Uchiha Rin did not dare imagine it.
What ninja did not carry metal Shuriken and Kunai?
If she had not replaced all her ninja tools with wooden ones today, she might have lost the instant they clashed!
Seeing Uchiha Rin's dazed expression, Hyuga Satoru naturally guessed what she was thinking. But if she knew that the ability he had shown was only the tip of the iceberg, who knew how shocked she would be?
If Magnet Release's ability was a single leaf, then Electromagnetic Force was an ancient tree that blotted out the sky!
Whether it was the Ninja World's native Magnet Release or the abilities he had developed now, they were only a few insignificant leaves on that ancient tree.
As one of the universe's Four Fundamental Forces, fully mastering it would be terrifying beyond imagination!
After this battle with Uchiha Rin, his experience value had already reached over 1,900. He was only a few dozen points away from the 2,000 experience needed to Upgrade.
Once he reached LV2, he should be able to obtain a new Electromagnetic Force system ability. What would it be?
Hyuga Satoru wondered curiously.
There happened to be a vacation coming up, and he did not need to go to the Ninja Academy for classes. He could try breaking through.
After returning home, Hyuga Satoru stockpiled a large pile of supplies, locked himself in his room, and began his training plan to push his Electromagnetic Force level higher.
Almost at the same time, within the Hyuga Clan that had been passed down for nearly a thousand years, a small earthquake suddenly erupted.
A clan member had, for the first time ever, awakened a second Bloodline Limit: Magnet Release!
This was a first in an ancient and orderly clan like the Hyuga. At first, not many clan members believed such talk, but later, as more and more people spread the rumor, they had no choice but to take it seriously.
"Hey, have you heard? A clan member awakened a second Bloodline Limit and defeated a genius from the Uchiha clan."
"You only just heard? Didn't he take down the Uchiha in one move?"
"Wasn't it that the Uchiha heard about the Dual Bloodline Limit and was so scared she knelt down and begged for mercy?"
So someone went to find Iroha, but no matter how they asked, she did not say a word. Judging from her reaction, however, she had tacitly admitted it.
From then on, the Hyuga erupted.
Could we awaken a second Bloodline Limit too? Aside from the Byakugan, were there other Bloodline Limit abilities in the Hyuga bloodline? Remarks like these kept appearing throughout the Hyuga Clan.
In the end, it was the Main Family Elder who stepped forward and declared that Hyuga Satoru's situation was special and not universally applicable, finally calming the situation.
Many clan members curiously wanted to learn more about that clan member with the Dual Bloodline Limit, only to discover in surprise that this person seemed to have suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Before this, they had actually never heard of him.
On the training grounds and in the corners of houses, branch family members could often be seen gathering together, whispering about the branch family genius they had never met who had awakened a second Bloodline Limit. Only when a passing main family member gave a displeased cough would they hurriedly fall silent.
But those branch family members probably never could have imagined that the person they were talking about was, at this very moment, shut inside his room, undergoing an extremely grueling bout of training.
In the cramped space, the fermented smell of sweat filled the air. All sorts of metal tools were strewn about in disorder. Drenched in sweat, Hyuga Satoru panted heavily, a look of joy appearing in his eyes.
"I did it!"
Just now, he had suddenly heard a faint cracking sound coming from within his body. Then, he heard a voice ring out beside his ear.
Electromagnetic Force LV2 Experience until next Upgrade: 0/6000
At the same time his level rose, Hyuga Satoru was surprised to find that his body seemed to be undergoing a transformation. He had experienced this sensation before, when he first awakened Electromagnetic Force.
However, now it was much more intense than it had been then.
The impurities in his flesh were broken down by Electromagnetic Force, and an extremely pure energy dispersed outward, feeding back into his body itself.
Although he had undergone several days of arduous training and his body was covered in filthy grime, Hyuga Satoru was now brimming with energy, as if he had been injected with adrenaline. His condition could not have been better.
Closing his eyes, he carefully sensed the changes in his body. Soon, Hyuga Satoru made a discovery.
"My biological magnetic field is much stronger than before!"
Hyuga Satoru opened his eyes in surprise. This discovery was no small thing.
He had already realized the importance of the biological magnetic field before. The complex life activities of the human body created each person's unique biological magnetic field. If the biological magnetic field was amplified, it would in turn feed back into the body's life activities.
Hyuga Satoru had previously speculated that if the biological magnetic field became strong enough, it would reverse-drive the evolution of the body, stepping into a higher level of life.
Right now, he seemed to have taken a small step along that path.
"Is this the final direction of Electromagnetic Force's development? A higher level of life..."
After murmuring to himself, Hyuga Satoru took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and began carefully sensing his own biological magnetic field.
"Although I can freely control the magnetic fields of metal, I can't move the biological magnetic fields of living things at all. Clearly, that corresponds to a higher authority of Electromagnetic Force, something I can't touch right now. It's just..."
Hyuga Satoru frowned slightly.
The biological magnetic field inside his body now was like a small flame that burned continuously, its warmth nourishing his flesh. This flame would adjust according to his condition, keeping his body in its optimal state at all times, just like...
Hyuga Satoru thought for a moment, then muttered to himself.
"It was like getting a permanent regeneration buff from a healer."
This could no longer be summed up as a simple biological magnetic field.
"Hmm... I'll call it Life Magnetic Field."
Hyuga Satoru thought it over for a moment and gave the ability a name.
Life Magnetic Field was clearly the new ability he had awakened at Electromagnetic Force LV2. Aside from that, he tested it some more and found that both the strength and precision of his Electromagnetic Force control had improved considerably. The abilities he had developed before had also gained no small boost.
"The Electromagnetic Force of LV1 should correspond to basic electromagnetic control. LV2's Electromagnetic Force corresponds to Life Magnetic Field. Then what abilities would LV3, LV4... or even higher-level Electromagnetic Force correspond to?"
Hyuga Satoru could not help growing curious, his heart full of anticipation for the future.
The path of Electromagnetic Force was like a pyramid made of one stair after another, constantly tempting him to explore it, to climb to that final summit.
