Trash Station of Naruto

Ren chuckled softly and gently stroked the sports car. Though it was still eighty percent new, it was covered in dust.

With a thought, Ren carefully searched through the trash.

Suddenly, a pool of blood came into view. Ren narrowed his eyes. "What... a corpse?"

Before him lay a corpse, one that had been torn apart by some wild beast. The bloody stench made Ren feel sick.

Ren said, "After all these trash drops, this is the first time I've seen a human corpse. How could they treat even a corpse as trash?"

Ren was annoyed, but his narrowed eyes revealed a trace of excitement. "It's actually this world!"

Beside the corpse lay a newspaper reporting Law Feng's death.

The moment he saw Law Feng's name, Ren immediately realized what world this was. This was Devour, and this trash had come from Devour as well. No wonder even limited-edition sports cars were considered trash. After all, Devour took place on an apocalyptic Earth, where abandoned luxury cars filled the streets. It was not strange at all for a limited-edition Lamborghini to be discarded as trash. Even finding a helicopter would not have been surprising.

Ren narrowed his eyes and said, "In the world of Devour, the RR Virus broke out, causing the global death rate to reach thirty percent. In just three months, aside from countless animal deaths, the global population decreased by nearly two billion! But those who resisted the RR Virus had their bodies improve. Almost everyone saw their strength, speed, cell activity, and skin toughness double! I wonder whether this trash might have brought the RR Virus here."

Ren pondered quietly, a trace of wariness in his heart.

Meditation Method

After thinking for a moment, Ren looked at the corpse before him. There was no doubt that this corpse had not belonged to an ordinary person. Though it bore the marks of being bitten by a savage beast, its heart had been pierced by a katana. Clearly, this person had been killed by someone else. Judging by his clothing, he should have been a cultivator. After all, Earth in the world of Devour had two cultivation systems. One was that of Martial Artists, while the other belonged to Spirit Readers.

Either of these inheritances would have been extraordinary if brought to the Naruto World.

Ren narrowed his eyes as he examined the corpse. No longer feeling disgusted, he pulled out a backpack from beside the body. Though it was strange that the man had been killed without his backpack being taken, it was a bargain for Ren.

Ren picked up the somewhat filthy backpack, opened it directly, and looked at its contents.

There was a notebook, a black egg, and some food.

Ren opened the notebook and discovered that it was a diary.

April Number One. The unending rain forced me to hide. The golden monster that descended from the sky is still wreaking havoc.

April Number Two. I can no longer see any hope. Is Earth truly going to be destroyed?

April Number Three. He appeared. It was actually Law Feng. He perished together with the monster.

April 4th. My idol Law Feng has left us. Filled with admiration, I will walk the road Law Feng once walked.

April 5th. We found a Beast General Level monster that was about to give birth. Our squad is preparing to launch a sneak attack.

Ren stared at the notebook, then at the black egg. "No way... Is this a Beast General Level monster egg?"

Though the notebook did not record it, the egg that had appeared in the backpack might well have been laid by that Beast General Level monster that had been about to give birth.

The corner of Ren's mouth twitched as he silently calculated. There were many monsters in Devour, and on Earth, they were divided into several ranks: Beast Soldier Level, Beast General Level, Lord Level, King Level...

Ren did not know how powerful Beast General Level monsters were, but they should have surpassed the summoning beasts of the Naruto World. Perhaps Lord Level monsters were comparable to the Tailed Beasts of the future.

Ren stared at the monster egg and said, "The Naruto World and Devour are different. At the very least, the energy they contain is different. If this Beast General Level monster egg hatches, who knows whether it will be able to grow properly? Besides, it is uncertain whether this egg can even hatch now."

Ren muttered to himself, his gaze returning to the notebook.

The notebook was filled with diary entries, but when Ren reached the final page, he was overjoyed. "It's actually a meditation method!"

It turned out that this man had dreamed of becoming a Spirit Reader, but he lacked the talent to become one. Yet where there was a dream, there was motivation. He researched methods to strengthen spiritual power and even secretly learned from Spirit Readers. In the end, he created a relatively basic meditation method, one that was actually effective.

Ren examined the notebook, which recorded the process through which the man had created it.

"Phew... To increase spiritual power, the mind must be calm."

"Today, I secretly learned that aside from natural talent or certain precious treasures, spiritual power can only be increased through constant use!"

"No, how do I use spiritual power?"

"Phew... Today, I secretly learned again. It turns out that concentrating one's attention can slowly increase spiritual power!"

The countless summaries and repeated notes in the diary had allowed this now-dead man to create a meditation method.

Ren studied the meditation method and said, "Use a crystal as the object of visualization, then focus your attention and draw your visualization within the crystal. By drawing it continuously, you can increase spiritual power and even control it better."

Muttering to himself, he read the explanation in the notebook, then looked through the trash beside the corpse and found a small crystal.

The crystal was flawless, as though nurtured by heaven and earth. This was the Crystal Meditation Method. It could slowly increase spiritual power. Though it was slow, it was steady.

Ren narrowed his eyes and said, "This is somewhat similar to ancient meditation. I never expected ancient meditation to have such an effect. However, there are basically no ninjutsu in the Naruto World that can train spiritual power. Perhaps the Yamanaka Clan has such methods, but they must be closely guarded secrets. After all, spiritual power is linked to the soul. This Crystal Meditation Method is definitely a good thing!"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the enormous pile of trash again, hoping to find other treasures.

Not long after, Ren shook his head. "Only the things brought by this corpse have any value. Everything else is trash, and this trash cannot compare to the trash from the Battle Through the Heavens World. After all, even the wood and stones in the Battle Through the Heavens World grew in an energy-rich world. The scrap metal and plastic from Devour are merely urban garbage. They might even carry the RR Virus!"

With a helpless expression, he looked at the mountain-like pile of trash and said, "It seems I have to make a trip to the Summoning Space. Though there is supposedly a Dog Sage there, I have no choice. The trash from this Trash Station needs somewhere to be dumped."

Ren muttered to himself, then turned and returned with the notebook, crystal, katana, and monster egg.

Inside the bedroom, night had already fallen.

Ren looked at the silent night outside, placed everything he carried on the cabinet in his bedroom, then slowly mobilized the chakra within his body.

Speaking of chakra, because his physique had been strengthened threefold yesterday, his chakra had increased by about twofold as well. He truly did not know what that thing from yesterday had been to strengthen him so much. If it could happen once every day, even if it were unbearably painful each time, Ren would have been willing.

At this moment, Ren slowly formed hand seals. It was the Summoning Seal!

The Summoning Technique was merely a B-rank ninjutsu and could not be considered especially powerful. Thus, it did not consume much chakra. Naturally, summoning a powerful summoning beast would consume much more chakra. But for an ordinary summoning, the chakra in Ren's body was enough to support it.

At that moment, Ren placed both hands on the ground, a trace of solemnity filling his eyes. "Summoning Technique!"

"Bang..."

As his words fell, white smoke instantly engulfed Ren. When the smoke dispersed, he had already vanished from the bedroom.

Dog Clan

White smoke slowly appeared in a silent oasis.

"Phew... So this is Beast King Mountain?"
