Feeling power surging through his body once again, Qifeng, who had already tried using an Experience Card before, still nearly groaned aloud.
Fortunately, he held it in.
However, one thing puzzled him: what criteria and elements did the system use to determine compatibility?
Miura Ikkō's Experience Card had only been fifty percent compatible before, yet this time it was seventy percent. He had not expected that.
His strength assessment had also soared to the level of an Elite Jonin. Combined with the experience of a Quasi-Kage level ninja, Qifeng felt for the first time just how intoxicating power could be.
But there was no time to think about that now.
Seeing that he had not moved for so long, Kaguya Senjin was already growing impatient.
Yet Kaguya Senjin did not attack rashly, because in his perception, Qifeng's aura had undergone an earth-shaking change.
If he had been a whining husky waiting to be fed before, then now he was a hungry wolf poised to strike.
He could not understand why a seemingly frail Chunin had changed so drastically in such a short time.
But given his personality, there was no need to dwell on things he could not understand.
He only knew that the dull, one-sided crushing from before had become something else, and an emotion was continuously spreading and swelling within him.
Excitement!
Uncontrollable excitement, along with the desire to fight.
"Interesting, very interesting!!"
Kaguya Senjin's eyes widened, his expression twisting freely and wildly, making him look somewhat crazed.
Madman. Qifeng could not help but complain inwardly.
The next second.
As if by agreement, or perhaps through mutual understanding, the two moved at the same time.
Their bodies flashed like lightning. The short distance between them vanished in an instant as two plain, unadorned fists, carrying surging gusts of wind, collided in midair.
Bang!!
The violent shockwave centered on the two of them, sweeping up countless fallen leaves and forcibly creating a Vacuum Zone in the forest.
Crack!
The ground trembled and split. Qifeng planted his feet firmly, standing solidly against the force, while Kaguya Senjin was no less formidable.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the two fighters exchanged dozens of punches and kicks at close range.
Relying on Quasi-Kage experience and his suddenly enhanced physical qualities, Qifeng did not fall too far behind.
But Kaguya Senjin was even more impressive.
Although Kaguya Senjin's Shikotsumyaku had not awakened, it was not entirely useless. It gave the Kaguya Clan's bodies physical qualities far beyond ordinary people. Combined with his madman-like fighting style and his complete disregard for his own injuries, Qifeng still failed to gain any advantage in taijutsu alone, even after using the Experience Card.
A thought could not help flashing through his mind.
With the Kaguya Clan's bone strength, if one learned the Eight Gates and could open the Eighth Gate to use Night Guy like Might Guy, then during that final kick at Uchiha Madara, would his leg bones not break at all, and would he kick his way straight into the ending?
Though he thought that, his hands did not pause in the slightest.
After exchanging dozens of moves in an instant, the two borrowed each other's force and separated.
"Good! Very good!" Kaguya Senjin shouted excitedly, staring at Qifeng with blazing eyes as if he had found a toy he particularly liked. "I never thought a brat could have such a powerful body."
Qifeng could not be bothered to waste words on him.
If he indulged in verbal sparring now, he would be dead in half an hour.
He had to end this quickly.
Unlike the previous Experience Card, Miura Ikkō had been a Jonin skilled in taijutsu, while Akagi Tsukasa had been a Quasi-Kage skilled in ninjutsu. Comparatively speaking, taijutsu was not his strong suit.
His hands blurred into afterimages as he rapidly formed hand seals.
"Earth Release! Swamp of the Underworld!"
"Earth Release! Earth Dragon Bullet!"
"Ninja Art: Mud Dragon!"
A Combined Ninjutsu formed from two B-rank Ninjutsu, its power was no weaker than some A-rank Ninjutsu.
To a certain extent, A-rank Ninjutsu could barely be considered forbidden techniques. B-rank Ninjutsu was the mainstream in this world. When used properly, B-rank Ninjutsu was not necessarily completely inferior to A-rank Ninjutsu.
Especially Combined Ninjutsu.
The ground beneath Kaguya Senjin instantly turned muddy. The stench of bubbling swamp gas was overwhelming, while a burly dragon head rose from the mire, opening its mouth to spit out lava bombs the size of heads.
As they struck the struggling Kaguya Senjin, they brought tremendous impacts. At the same time, sticky mud clung to his body, making it even harder for him to break free from the swamp's restraints.
"Willow Dance!"
At some point, two sharp spike blades had appeared in Kaguya Senjin's hands. His body began to spin and twist, bending at bizarre angles. While shaking free of the mud's restraints, he also successfully escaped the swamp.
Among the Kaguya Clan's six shared taijutsu styles that incorporated Shikotsumyaku, Willow Dance was one of them.
However, Kaguya clansmen whose Shikotsumyaku had not awakened could not use the latter four taijutsu styles, which required their bones. Willow Dance and Camellia Dance, however, could use weapons as substitutes, so they were not greatly affected.
With just these two taijutsu styles and the Kaguya Clan's bodies, they still firmly held an extremely high position in Kirigakure.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Kaguya Senjin swayed like a willow tree, his twin blades sliding through the earth. After breaking free, he charged straight at Qifeng.
But Qifeng had never expected to take him down with a single move. As he retreated, the Chakra within him circulated at full force, and the complex hand seals were completed.
"Earth Release! Turning Road into Mountain!"
This was one of the advanced ninjutsu mastered by Akagi Tsukasa, an A-rank Ninjutsu of Earth Release that combined killing power and confinement. Its drawback was that the hand seals were extremely complex and the Chakra circulation was exceptionally difficult.
The earlier Combined Ninjutsu had been meant to buy time for this technique.
That was the nature of A-rank Ninjutsu. It was powerful, but there were many constraints during its use, which made it less practical.
So when a seal-less technique like the Rasengan emerged, even though its destructive power was somewhat lacking compared with other A-rank Ninjutsu, it was still classified as A-rank Ninjutsu.
Rumble!!
The moment the seals were completed.
The earth suddenly erupted with a thunderous roar. Kaguya Senjin's steps abruptly halted, his legs restrained by the ground. The earth on both sides flipped upward like closing covers, forming two enormous triangular pyramids that closed from beneath his feet, intending to crush him in the center.
"Camellia Dance!"
Kaguya Senjin suddenly accelerated, moving at astonishing speed. His sharp spikes repeatedly scraped against the massive rocks closing in from both sides, trying to shatter them.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sharp collisions rang out as the blades scraped and struck the solid rock. Large amounts of stone were continuously chipped away and shattered, but as Qifeng kept supplying Chakra, the broken rock rapidly recovered.
For the first time, Kaguya Senjin's expression changed.
It became savage and terrifying.
Clang! Clang!
The sturdy twin blades were ultimately not the bones of Shikotsumyaku. Unable to withstand the pressure of the rocks, they snapped.
Left with no choice, Kaguya Senjin spread his arms and braced against the massive rocks.
The Kaguya Clan's physical qualities really were terrifying. Even as the muscles in his arms burst apart, the blood-streaked bones remained tough.
Qifeng narrowed his eyes.
He formed his hands into palms and slammed them together in front of his chest.
"Close!"
Boom!!
The two enormous rocks instantly shut together, forming a small hill.
Worried that he still might not have killed his tenacious opponent, he formed hand seals again.
"Earth Release! Earth Spear!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Several sharp stone spears stabbed into the hill, turning what had been a perfectly good mound into a porcupine mound.
After finishing all that, Qifeng clapped his hands in satisfaction.
The Kaguya Clan was strong, but unfortunately, they were not very smart.
This was what they meant by well-developed limbs and a simple mind.
"Wait! Wait! Don't tell me the corpse is gone?" Qifeng suddenly jolted as he realized something.
This time, he had used a Quasi-Kage level Experience Card. No matter how he looked at it, it would be hard to recoup the cost. But this was still the corpse of a Jonin, and there had to be something valuable on it. It would be a real shame if he had destroyed it.
He hurriedly waved his hand and dispersed the rocks, revealing the ugly corpse inside, already twisted out of shape and devoid of life.
Seeing the yellow light flickering on it, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Good, good. No matter how ruined a corpse is, it is still a corpse."
What Qifeng did not notice was that a very inconspicuous little brown snake was lying far away, silently flicking its tongue.
