"Luo Yu wasn't just refusing to run-he was actually walking calmly toward the Merged White Zetsu!"
"Did he still have another trick up his sleeve?"
"Could he really pull out a Ninjutsu stronger than a mastery-level Great Fireball?"
"Or maybe Luo Yu was just like Yang Jie, trying to show off in front of a girl."
In the monitoring room, the family heads watched Luo Yu calmly approach the Merged White Zetsu, their faces full of questions.
The next moment, the Merged White Zetsu swung its deformed long arms and seized Luo Yu tightly.
Everyone was completely dumbfounded by the sight.
Seeing how confident Luo Yu looked, they had assumed he had something up his sleeve.
Instead, he had just gone over to get himself killed?
With White Zetsu holding him, Luo Yu could not move his arms, let alone form hand seals.
It seemed they would have to have the staff forcibly teleport him back.
Even Curator Jiang, who had always had faith in Luo Yu, could no longer sit still. His pupils contracted sharply as he stared at the screen in disbelief.
Didn't Luo Yu have Intangibility?
How had he been caught so easily?
Yet in the next instant, the anguish of losing his love jolted Luo Yu's mind.
The image of a smiling girl appeared in his mind.
Holy shit! Rin!
It hurt!
It hurt so much!
My beloved was gone!
Under that intense stimulus, the chakra inside Luo Yu surged into his right eye, and the pattern of the Kamui Mangekyō emerged in his pupil.
A scarlet light flashed, and a streak of blood slid down like a tear.
All the chakra remaining in his body transformed into wood-nature chakra.
In the next instant, countless thorn-covered trees grew wildly from Luo Yu's body.
The Mangekyō Sharingan distorted the surrounding space, and under the influence of that distortion, the trees spiraled upward.
Caught within them, the Merged White Zetsu was mercilessly torn apart in midair, reduced to several mangled remains.
Against such overwhelming power, the defense the Merged White Zetsu took such pride in proved utterly useless.
By the time Luo Yu came to his senses, Wood Release had completely transformed his surroundings. Countless twisted, misshapen trees towered around him.
The whole area looked like a depiction of hell.
Just then, rays of light flew from several pieces of White Zetsu's remains and entered Luo Yu's body.
Attribute points +15!
The Scientific Ninja Tool on his wrist also issued a notification.
Killed a rank-one Genin mutant beast. Gained 500 points. Current points: 670.
Luo Yu instantly reclaimed the top spot on the Scoreboard.
Watching from the side, Yang Jie's legs trembled. No matter how hard he tried, he could not make them stop.
He suddenly felt an oppressive force from Luo Yu that was even more suffocating than the Merged White Zetsu's.
Then Yang Jie gave a bitter smile. "Just a few minutes ago, I actually thought I could go toe-to-toe with Luo Yu."
"What a joke."
In the distance, Liu Jiajia stared wide-eyed at the twisted giant trees around her, feeling as though she were in a dream.
She had thought Luo Yu's talent for Wood Release had only just been discovered.
She had never expected him to have already mastered such a powerful Wood Release Ninjutsu!
That kind of talent was simply astounding!
The more powerful Luo Yu proved himself to be, the more she regretted it.
If only she had swallowed her pride back then and spent more time coaxing and pestering Luo Yu.
Perhaps she would already have won over this future powerhouse.
At that moment, the entire monitoring room fell silent as well.
After a moment, the family heads, usually so pampered and dignified, could not help swearing.
"Holy shit! An instant kill!"
"That was Wood Release? Who knew Luo Yu had already mastered Wood Release!"
"The power of that Ninjutsu could rival a three-and-a-half-star or even four-star Ninjutsu."
"Didn't any of you notice? When Luo Yu used that jutsu, his eye seemed to activate the Sharingan!"
"Seriously? Did you see how many tomoe his Sharingan had?"
"No, I couldn't make them out. It only lasted an instant, after all."
"I'm certain Luo Yu must have absorbed some purple legacy. Otherwise, this is just too absurd."
"Honestly, I'm a little jealous of the kid's parents. We're the fathers of second-generation ninja, but they're the parents of a first-generation ninja."
Not just them-even Curator Jiang took a deep breath.
Although he knew Luo Yu had mastered the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan and was proficient in Fire Release.
He had not expected him to possess an exceptionally powerful kekkei genkai as well-Wood Release.
And he even knew such a powerful Wood Release Ninjutsu.
"Old Bai, why don't you hand over the white legacy you lost to me ahead of time?"
After recovering his composure, Curator Jiang turned to President Bai.
President Bai was still immersed in shock.
Hearing those words, President Bai came to his senses, silently took two White Zetsu legacies from his Storage Scroll, and handed them over.
"Just one? Who do you take me for? I'll give you two!"
Now it was Curator Jiang's turn to be baffled. "Old Bai, what's this about?"
President Bai laughed heartily. "I'm happy today! With Jiang Li producing someone this talented, I'll have something to be proud of in front of the Association presidents from the other cities."
Curator Jiang nodded, leaned toward his ear, and whispered, "Here's another piece of good news: Luo Yu's Sharingan is a Mangekyō."
President Bai laughed when he heard that. "Stop kidding."
Anyone who knew anything understood just how harsh the conditions for awakening the Mangekyō were.
How old was Luo Yu? And he was claiming the boy had already awakened it?
Forget the Mangekyō—even awakening a Three Tomoe Sharingan would mean Luo Yu had suffered terribly at the hands of fate.
Although Luo Yu's performance just now had already been outrageous, President Bai did not believe he could be any more outrageous.
Curator Jiang smiled faintly. "If you don't believe me, we'll watch the recording later."
At the summit of the danger zone.
Luo Yu found a green fragment amid the scattered remains.
There was no doubt that it was Yamato's legacy fragment.
As they watched Luo Yu put the fragment into his Storage Scroll, neither Liu Jiajia nor Yang Jie dared voice the slightest objection.
They had been completely cowed by Luo Yu's astonishing display just now.
After taking the Yamato Legacy Fragment, Luo Yu headed down the mountain with an easy air to find Chen Qi.
Once he was out of Yang Jie and Liu Jiajia's sight, his nonchalant expression immediately gave way to one of weakness.
While using Hell's Turmoil, the caster not only became less intelligent but also drained every last bit of chakra from their body.
Of course, Hell's Turmoil also grew more powerful as its chakra consumption increased.
It looked like he would need ten minutes of rest to recover a full chakra bar.
Of course, if other ninja exhausted their chakra, they would need at least a full day and night to recover naturally.
Soon, he reached the spot where Chen Qi was resting.
"Bro Luo? Did you get the Yamato Legacy Fragment?"
Seeing how utterly drained Bro Luo looked, he was deeply worried that Liu Jiajia had managed to get her hands on him.
"Of course. Why else would I be back here?" Luo Yu looked proud.
After ten minutes of rest, chakra once again filled Luo Yu's body.
Chen Qi's injuries had also improved somewhat.
So Luo Yu took him down the mountain to farm Water Lizards.
Carefully controlling his chakra, he unleashed a small Great Fireball that blasted a Water Lizard to the brink of death.
Then Chen Qi went up to finish it off.
Before long, Chen Qi caught up with Yang Jie in second place.
After all, Yang Jie's injuries would be difficult to recover from anytime soon. He probably would not hunt any more mutant beasts for the remainder of the assessment.
But this teamwork had one drawback: assists did not drop attribute points!
"There's something seriously wrong with how this system judges things!" Luo Yu grumbled.
After helping Chen Qi reach second place, he went off alone to farm attribute points.
