Flying Thunder God or Senjutsu

After parting ways with Tang Ya, Wang Xiao returned to Shrek Outer Court.

It was still early; classes had not begun yet.

Old Demon Woman Zhou had always had a grudge against Mu Jin, so she deliberately assigned him to Class Nine, believing that would keep him from ever rising again.

Although Mu Jin was only a Soul King, in Wang Xiao's eyes, he was still better than a certain Soul Emperor who only knew how to make people run.

"Before, I never understood why everyone in Shrek Outer Court, even the teachers, hated Zhou Yi."

After yesterday's turmoil, he finally understood.

If not for Fan Yu's status backing her, Old Yan would have stripped her of her teaching position long ago.

"Once my cultivation improves, we'll see who's more arrogant."

On the way back, Wang Xiao entered his mindscape and took the initiative to ask Nine-Tails about cultivation.

"Kurama, do you think I should learn Flying Thunder God first, make more Shadow Clones, or train in Sage Mode?"

Nine-Tails lay sprawled atop the water, pretending to sleep without even lifting his eyelids.

"Greedy little Uchiha brat. You call yourself a genius, but I say you won't learn any of them."

"I haven't even tried yet. How do you know I can't learn them?" Wang Xiao frowned, feeling that the fox had some personal grudge against him.

Nine-Tails revealed a contemptuous expression. "If you're tired of living, go practice Sage Mode and the Flying Thunder God Technique. I won't stop you."

"What do you mean? Are there side effects? Lord Nine-Tails, explain it properly!" Wang Xiao was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Why do you think those techniques are in the Sealing Scroll? And why are they called forbidden techniques?"

"Because they're too evil, or too powerful?" Wang Xiao asked.

Nine-Tails shook his head, then nodded. "You're half right. They're classified as forbidden techniques because people are afraid arrogant fools like you will practice yourselves to death."

"The Flying Thunder God Technique was never something that could be learned through hard work alone."

Wang Xiao was speechless. How much did this fox hate the Uchiha? Would it die if it didn't mock him?

"Kid, forget about Flying Thunder God. Your current neural reflexes, perception, control, and understanding of space are all far below the requirements."

Nine-Tails sneered. "You were born in a peaceful era and lack life-and-death trials. Your body's potential is difficult to draw out. You're completely unsuited for a technique like Flying Thunder God, which requires training through death."

"Don't even think about senjutsu. A slight lack of chakra control would be enough to turn you into a stone statue."

In every word, Nine-Tails was saying that Wang Xiao was trash who would not have survived seven days in wartime.

"Every era has its own advantages. For example, I have plenty of time to learn now."

Wang Xiao held the opposite view. Not meeting the requirements now did not mean he never would. People always improved.

"Kurama, where do you think I should start?"

"Eight Gates." Nine-Tails believed Wang Xiao's foundation was far too poor; even his chakra reserves were absurdly low.

Training the Eight Gates would strengthen his body while also increasing his chakra reserves.

"My chakra reserves really are a little low." Wang Xiao deeply agreed. They were currently only at the level of a Chunin.

He did not even have as much chakra as one Kakashi Hatake.

"Strange. When the Uchiha Clan awakened three Tomoe, it stimulated a large amount of chakra from their bodies. Yet you, brat, evolved Mangekyō Sharingan and somehow ended up with even less." Nine-Tails could not understand it at all.

Wang Xiao's mouth twitched. He had found the reason: he had directly obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan rather than evolving from one Tomoe to Mangekyō.

"Forget that. Besides the Eight Gates, I also want to learn Rasengan, Rasenshuriken, Chidori... techniques like those."

He knew Nine-Tails had a treasure trove of ninja techniques in its mind and hoped it would teach him a few.

This time, Nine-Tails did not refuse. It felt Wang Xiao was far too weak and really should learn some ninja techniques for self-defense.

"Kid, before learning them, first figure out your chakra nature. If you don't have wind and lightning attributes, forget about Big Ball Rasengan, Rasenshuriken, and Chidori."

"Fine. I'll find some paper and test it later. Teach me a few Fire Release techniques first."

Wang Xiao was not worried. Every member of the Uchiha Clan was guaranteed to possess fire-attribute chakra. If they were lucky, they could even awaken all three attributes: fire, lightning, and wind.

Nine-Tails nodded and taught Wang Xiao Fire Release techniques such as Great Fireball, Majestic Destroyer Flame, and Phoenix Sage Fire Technique.

"One last question, Kurama. Can you beat that woman from earlier?"

Nine-Tails said disdainfully, "At my peak, I could slap her to death."

"What about now?"

"My chakra has yet to recover. I lack the strength."

Wang Xiao looked as though he had swallowed a fly.

"Kid, what exactly are you trying to say?" Nine-Tails felt challenged.

Wang Xiao explained slowly, "I originally wanted to ask you to step in and wipe out Ironblood Sect, a second-rate sect on this continent."

"The sect that slaughtered your little girlfriend's family?" Nine-Tails slightly raised an eyelid.

Wang Xiao sighed softly. "I wish. She's not my girlfriend yet."

Nine-Tails grew serious. "Kid, I've observed her. Her strength may be weak, but her physique is the most compatible with yours. If the two of you have children, they might develop a perfect physique, such as a Sage Body with Sharingan!"

"Children?"

Wang Xiao froze. He had never considered marriage and children before.

Even if he wanted to, would Tang Ya be willing?

"Forget it. There's so much natural energy in this world. Why aren't you absorbing it to speed up your recovery?"

Nine-Tails looked at him as if he were an idiot. "Why do you think I said it would take three years at the slowest and one or two years at the fastest?"

"I was just concerned about you."

Clearly, Nine-Tails was a smart Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. The moment it arrived in this world, it had begun absorbing natural energy.

By the time he returned to the freshman dormitory, there was still some time before class.

Wang Xiao planned to change into clean clothes first.

However, to his surprise, Wang Dong'er was actually staying in his room and sleeping on his improvised large bed.

"Oh, you came back so early." Wang Dong'er revealed an awkward smile, looking slightly guilty.

Last night, when Huo Yuhao refined the Mysterious Water Pill, the stench had been overwhelming. She had only returned to the dormitory in the middle of the night.

Wang Dong'er was a clean freak and thought Huo Yuhao was too sloppy, so she simply moved into Room 202 next door.

"Sorry, I'll get up right away." She knew she was in the wrong and felt embarrassed. After all, she herself hated it when others slept in her bed.

"Sleep here if you want. It's fine." Wang Xiao was in an excellent mood today and did not care about such things.

Wang Dong'er was stunned. Her large eyes blinked, and she looked somewhat lost.

Since when had this stingy bastard become so generous?

"You said it. Don't regret it later."

Wang Dong'er got out of bed, put on her shoes and socks, politely straightened the bedsheets, and then walked out.

Wang Xiao raised an eyebrow. Knowing she was disguised as a man, he noticed that beneath her long pants, she was actually wearing knee-high stockings. Wasn't that hot?

"Hey, class is about to start. Aren't you leaving yet?"

Wang Donger's little head appeared at the window.

Wang Xiao left the room and headed toward the teaching building with her.

But once they entered the teaching building, they had to part ways. From now on, they could no longer sit at the same desk.

Wang Xiao searched through the classrooms one by one and finally entered Class Nine on the third floor. It was another enormous classroom with a full hundred seats.

There was still a while before the bell, and the classroom was incredibly noisy as the girls chatted away.

Among them, two particularly poised girls saw Wang Xiao's unfamiliar face. After thinking briefly, they guessed his identity.

"Hello, classmate. You must be the transfer student Teacher Mu Jin mentioned, right?"

The speaker was a tall girl with short golden hair and a gentle temperament.

Wang Xiao found her vaguely familiar and could not help looking at her twice.

The next moment, he felt a pair of hostile eyes fixed on him.

They came from the red-haired girl standing beside her.

She wore her hair in a neat ponytail and had on a long dress with combat boots, giving off an especially fiery aura.

"Kid, watch your eyes. You'd better not have any improper thoughts about her!" she glared viciously at Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao found it baffling. He had merely looked twice because she seemed familiar. Did she need to be that guarded?

"Wufeng, he means no harm. Don't be rude."

The golden-haired girl lightly chided her, then turned to Wang Xiao. "Classmate, there aren't many seats left. Sit next to us."

"Wufeng? That name sounds familiar."

Wang Xiao was still trying to remember when the golden-haired girl pulled him to a seat in the middle of the classroom.

She sat in the middle, Wufeng sat on the left, and the seat on the right was empty.

After the three of them sat down, the golden-haired girl introduced herself. "Hello, Classmate Wang. My name is Ning Tian, and her name is Wufeng. Nice to meet you."

She extended her hand, wanting to shake Wang Xiao's.

"Wait, what did you say your name was?"

Wang Xiao's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

Ning Tian? That Ning Tian who would go from woman to man!

The young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect whom the God King Tang personally turned into a freak!

Damn it, Wang Xiao wanted to curse. Such a gentle-looking blonde girl would actually become a blonde man in the future.

It was simply impossible to accept. Was this the collapse of morality or the distortion of human nature?

Wang Xiao silently moved one seat away.
