Bonus Rewards! His Strength Soared

Youzhi knew that although Emperor of Sinking and the others had weak attacks, they could revive endlessly.

They had no regard for their lives!

Even if they had to die, they were determined to wound him!

That was terrifying.

No matter how well he fought, his chakra was limited. He could not keep using it forever, and they would inevitably wound him again.

What terrified Youzhi most was that after just two brief rounds of combat, he discovered that Emperor of Sinking and the others had made a tremendous leap in their combat proficiency!

Previously, Youzhi could kill or wound half the players with a single Ninjutsu.

But by the second round, that number had plummeted.

Their ability to dodge had improved at an astonishing rate!

When Youzhi used Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique again, Emperor of Sinking and the others dodged the instant he began forming hand seals.

He failed to hurt a single person!

"They're improving at a terrifying rate!"

Youzhi's brows knitted tightly. He had no idea what he had encountered, much less what was going on with these nine people.

All he knew was that if he did not run now, he would die here!

Youzhi sprinted toward the edge of the village with everything he had.

He had only one thought: Run. Stay alive!

But how could Emperor of Sinking and the others let him escape?

Even setting aside the enormous contribution reward, the sheer thrill of fighting other characters far exceeded their expectations.

They had not found their previous life-burning tactics difficult or tedious at all. Instead, they were wildly excited, charging toward Youzhi with shouts and cries.

Under One Sword Opens Heaven's direction, they even split into several small teams to block Youzhi's escape and launch coordinated attacks.

The fourth wave!

The fifth wave!

The sixth wave!

The seventh wave!

Emperor of Sinking and the others died over and over, but their combat skills kept improving. Compared to when they started, they were on an entirely different level!

Finally, on the eighth wave, One Sword Opens Heaven and the others killed Youzhi for good.

Youzhi had never imagined that he would die not on a difficult mission, nor as cannon fodder in a battle between villages, but at the hands of a group who were not even Genin!

[Ding! Congratulations to player One Sword Opens Heaven for successfully killing a Genin from the Land of Grass. Reward: 600 contribution points.]

[Ding! Congratulations to player Emperor of Sinking for successfully killing a Genin from the Land of Grass. Reward: 600 contribution points.]

System notifications kept appearing in the public feed.

All the players were ecstatic.

"Yeah! We finally killed him! We won!"

"We won!"

Emperor of Sinking and the others cheered and jumped for joy.

It had been hard. Incredibly hard.

They had never imagined that a ninja would be so difficult to kill.

"At first, I thought a Genin was only on the same level as a Ninja Beast. Turns out we underestimated him."

"Yeah, exactly. If we couldn't revive endlessly, even all nine of us together wouldn't have stood a chance against him."

"If a Genin is this strong, how powerful would a Jonin or someone at Kage Level be?"

"Hidden Jun Ninja is seriously unbeatable. Every so often, it throws something at us that completely reshapes our view of the world."

"Looks like we need to work harder to get stronger."

"Exactly. Ninja Beasts are the weakest things out there. We can't settle for the satisfaction of fighting them. We have to get stronger!"

Having survived the ordeal, all the players began discussing the battle.

At first, they only reviewed details and techniques, including whether there had been better ways to win the battle they had just fought.

Later, they moved on to broader conclusions: how to improve their strength and make good use of the rewards from this battle.

"Listen, everyone. Chakra is crucial. I suggest we spend all the contribution points we earned this time on raising our chakra levels."

"Exactly. One Sword is right. Just look at that enemy ninja. When he used Ninjutsu, its power was on a completely different scale from ours."

"Chakra is like experience points. We can't do without it. Come on, let's buy some chakra!"

Emperor of Sinking and the others quickly reached an agreement.

Without hesitation, every one of them spent all their contribution points on chakra.

Hum, hum, hum!

Several rings of light flashed one after another, and the chakra reserves of Emperor of Sinking and the others kept rising.

In the distance, Ye Chen quietly watched it all.

"Not bad. Their combat awareness is improving quickly, and their combat proficiency is good too."

Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction.

This batch of players had excellent overall abilities and qualities.

The battle had helped them considerably.

First, it improved their combat skills. Second, it changed their understanding of the world.

Of course, what mattered to Ye Chen was the increase in their strength.

Ye Chen opened the players' stat panels to inspect them.

ID: Emperor of Sinking.

Chakra reserves: Genin.

Ninjutsu: ...

"Oh, he's already reached Genin level... Very good."

To his surprise, Ye Chen discovered that four or five players, including Emperor of Sinking and One Sword Opens Heaven, had raised their chakra levels to Genin.

His village finally had real ninjas!

There were only a few Genin, but this was just the beginning.

Ye Chen firmly believed that one day, the name of his Hidden Jun Village would spread throughout the Shinobi World!

"Time to harvest the honey!"

Now that the players had improved, he could receive a massive corresponding reward as well.

System, start synchronizing the rewards, Ye Chen silently instructed.

[Ding! Your Ninja Village has 4 Genin.]

[Congratulations! You have received a massive chakra feedback reward!]

With a whoosh, the immense amount of chakra provided by the system flowed into Ye Chen.

Ye Chen could feel the chakra inside him surging.

This increase was many times greater than the previous one.

At that moment, Ye Chen's chakra reserves had roughly reached Chunin level.

Seeing this made Ye Chen even happier.

Others could not imagine the joy of reaping the rewards of nurturing their growth.

If this trend continued, as long as the players kept working hard, he could grow stronger without lifting a finger.

In just a few short days, he had become a Chunin.

As time went on, Ye Chen believed it would not take long for him to reach Kage Level!

Even surpassing Kage Level and reaching Six Paths level would only be a matter of time!

Of course, that was only in terms of his chakra reserves.

A real ninja's combat strength had to be assessed comprehensively, taking Ninjutsu, combat intelligence, chakra reserves, and other factors into account.

For now, only Ye Chen's chakra reserves had reached that level.

But Ye Chen was not worried.

He did not need to worry about Ninjutsu or anything like that either!

He just had to lie back and wait for the players to provide him with feedback rewards!

"Excellent. Go for it, my dear villagers! I believe in you!"

Ye Chen felt refreshed and invigorated. He knew his era was coming, and so was the era of Hidden Jun Village.
