When Yang Sanjin woke up, he was already lying in a hospital bed.

Chen Qing took meticulous care of him, and other members of the City Guard Team came to visit one after another.

"Where's that little brother?" Yang Sanjin looked at his surroundings and said to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing laughed and scolded, "A great beauty is guarding you right by your side and you ought to be deeply moved, yet the moment you wake up you go looking for some little brother."

Yang Sanjin smiled awkwardly, "Didn't I not get the chance to thank him for saving my life yet?"

He looked at his right foot hanging in traction; his injuries were not light.

The original wound was already on his thigh, compounded by accidentally pulling at it during the battle.

His main artery had ruptured directly, and if they hadn't brought him to the hospital early on.

He would have been dead for sure.

Chen Qing picked up an apple from the flower basket nearby, skillfully peeling it with a fruit knife.

"After the ambulance arrived, he left without even leaving his name."

Hearing this, Yang Sanjin looked somewhat surprised.

It seemed that little brother was a good young man who bravely stepped in for a righteous cause!

Suddenly, Yang Sanjin thought of something and said to Chen Qing, "Do you remember the moves he used?!"

"I remember..." Chen Qing replied, but she seemed somewhat strange.

Because afterward, when they dissected the Shadow Cat.

They discovered that the thing which bound the Shadow Cat was actually wood!

Even what had previously blocked the attacks and dealt the fatal blow was entirely wood!

Moreover... the hardness of the wood was astonishingly high, even rivaling metal!

Seeing Chen Qing cowering, Yang Sanjin frowned. "I have no idea what his talent is, for him to use such strange moves."

"Perhaps it's a talent skill," Chen Qing said.

Yang Sanjin flatly rejected the notion. "Talent skills aren't something that can be comprehended at every stage; people are different from one another."

"I awakened at the sixth realm, and up until now I only have two talent skills: one is Iron Wall, and the other is Enchantment."

"As for him, what he used on that day was defense first, then binding, and finally a long spear. Does that mean he possesses three talent skills?!"

Hearing Yang Sanjin's words, Chen Qing felt somewhat puzzled. "So what?"

Yang Sanjin took a deep breath. "If he is at the seventh awakening realm, then killing a Shadow Cat should be very simple..."

"If he is at the sixth awakening realm, then joining forces with me to suppress the Shadow Cat should also have been quite easy."

Hearing this, Chen Qing was suddenly startled. "Could it be..."

"Which means to say, he might only be at the fifth awakening realm! And he possesses three talent skills! But... what if he's at the fourth realm?!" Yang Sanjin analyzed with feigned composure.

"Isn't that a freak?!" Chen Qing was immensely shocked; she had awakened at the fifth realm and only had two talent skills.

Seeing Chen Qing's expression, Yang Sanjin did not voice his next conjecture.

He was afraid of frightening Chen Qing!

What if that young man still harbored other talent skills?

Currently, the human with the most talent skills only possessed six! All the others were self-created applications of moves.

Yet talent skills were abilities that could accompany one for a lifetime, growing even stronger as one's realm increased.

"There is one more thing... Captain, that youth seemed to be of the wood attribute..."

Yang Sanjin:???!!!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Chen had long since begun his cultivation journey.

After all, time was life; today's battle might have looked very relaxed.

In reality, after using two jutsus, only half of the spiritual energy remained in his body.

Yet the other two were already reaching their limits, and had he not killed it...

Then Ye Chen would have had to face a level-seven fierce beast alone!

For someone at the third awakening realm to cross four levels and fight a fierce beast? That was courting death pure and simple.

Wood Release was very strong, but without spiritual energy, it was useless. (It's spiritual qi, don't pick faults, it's pretty much the same.)

It was just like an architectural master being possessed by Obito and pulling out a miniature Thousand-Armed Kannon.

This was something Hashirama wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Right now, Ye Chen's situation was very similar to Hashirama's: he possessed powerful talent, but lacked the spiritual energy to sustain it.

I want to draw a prize! Ye Chen whispered softly.

The system manifested accordingly, and that roulette wheel appeared once more.

Wait, can you fucking give me two prize pools directly so I can just pull? You don't find all this fuss troublesome, but I do...

...Such a boring man. A ruthless roast from the system.

Yet despite saying that, it actually cooperated and transformed into two prize pools.

One was Heavens, and the other was Dimension.

In fact, during this period, Ye Chen had been pondering whether Heavens provided a greater boost to him in his current situation, or Dimension.

In terms of combat strength, Heavens was naturally stronger, but in terms of practicality, some strange props within Dimension were more useful.

System, let's negotiate. How about you draw an Sage Body for me? Just that Hashirama blockhead kind will do, I don't have high demands.

System: "..."

What? You agreed?! Thanks, system!

Have some fucking shame! the system roared! Its previous aloof persona was instantly shattered.

If you won't give it, then don't... Why get so angry. Ye Chen muttered as he pressed the Dimension draw button.

Take it, Primary Shikkotsu Forest Sage Body!

A small blue orb popped up right in front of Ye Chen the moment he pressed the button, and Ye Chen was overjoyed.

I love you to death, my good system~

Ye Chen was also rejoicing wildly in his heart!

Sure enough, this system... it meowing wasn't a gacha system at all!

Basically, whatever the system wanted to give you, it gave you; the draw was just there to give you a joyful process!

Are you sure you aren't a wish-fulfillment system?

...Can you leave me some face?! The system's faint voice came through.

Ye Chen grew awkward. Sorry, sorry, I forgot you can read minds...

Bro System, how about next time, you just hand the reward directly to me? Drawing and all that is too troublesome. Next time just give me that Sharingan—Obito's, I just love that pair.

Get lost!!!

Will do, bro, rolling away right now~

Ye Chen said with a smile, then gently tapped the small blue orb with his little hand.

A massive surge of energy poured directly into Ye Chen's body.

A blue bead condensed and appeared, plunging straight into Ye Chen's forehead.

It stored that previous massive surge of energy right into the bead.

Sage chakra, also known as natural energy... Ye Chen said as he experienced this flow of energy.

But that raised the question: spiritual qi was also extracted from nature; what was the difference?

None of your damn business. Asking so much—use it if you can, and give it back if you can't! The system flew into a rage.

Don't, don't, don't, I'll use it...

Ye Chen didn't dare shoot his mouth off anymore.

The system was nursing its anger; this jerk was simply too infuriating!

Should he just wipe him out and find someone new?!

Imitating Hashirama Senju, Ye Chen pressed his palms together.

Several markings surfaced on his face.

A massive force surged upward, and his perception of the surrounding environment became even more acute.

Strength increased, spiritual qi increased, perception increased, and jutsu augmented by sage arts would increase as well.

This was simply an all-around buff, and this was only the primary level!

What about an advanced Sage Body?!

Ye Chen was incomparably excited.
