These scattered thoughts flashed through Liu Feng's mind as he arrived at Training Ground 37.
This was where the assessments were currently held. The Chunin Exam took place here, and to become a Chunin, one had to last ten minutes against a real Chunin.
That was the current method of becoming a Chunin. In the future, they would probably have to take the Chunin Ninja Exams and advance through passing the tests.
"You're taking the Chunin assessment not long after graduating. Are you from the Uchiha family?"
The examiner in charge of the Chunin assessment glanced at Liu Feng. Though Liu Feng was young, the examiner did not underestimate him.
Just being from the Uchiha family meant he could not be underestimated.
"This is your opponent, Jonin Kishida. As long as you can last ten minutes against him, you'll pass."
The examiner pointed at the Chunin who had just arrived and spoke to Liu Feng.
Liu Feng nodded. Facing a Chunin, he would not underestimate him, but neither would he take him too seriously.
"Let the battle begin," Kishida said expressionlessly.
Seeing that Kishida had no intention of attacking first, Liu Feng raised a brow. Kishida was probably giving him a handicap, but Liu Feng would not stand on ceremony.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
He completed the hand seals in an instant, and a massive fireball ten meters wide hurtled toward Kishida.
Kishida's expressionless face twitched. This was the Great Fireball Technique? It was absurdly huge.
Even the examiner was somewhat shocked upon seeing the Great Fireball Technique.
It was a C-Rank ninjutsu, but in Liu Feng's hands, its power was absolutely no weaker than a B-Rank ninjutsu—perhaps even slightly stronger.
"Substitution Technique."
Kishida was a battle-hardened Chunin, so his reaction speed was quite fast. He instantly used the Substitution Technique to evade the ninjutsu attack.
"You've already lost."
Liu Feng stood behind Kishida, his sharp Tachi pressed against Kishida's back. If Liu Feng thrust forward, he could take his life in an instant.
"When did you appear behind me?" Kishida asked Liu Feng in shock.
Liu Feng did not answer Kishida's question, but the examiner beside them knew. Liu Feng had used Lightning Flash Body, relying on explosive instantaneous speed to appear behind Kishida before he could react.
Lightning Flash Body could be considered a technique Liu Feng had developed himself, based on some of the principles behind Lightning Style: Chidori.
"Congratulations, Uchiha Liu Feng. From today onward, you are a Chunin of Konoha," the examiner announced.
The assessment required him to last ten minutes against a Chunin. Defeating the Chunin naturally counted as a perfect pass.
[ Ding, C-Rank Mission Become a Chunin completed. Reward: 1,000 points, Earth Release Chakra! ]
Hearing the System's reward notification, Liu Feng smiled. He was getting closer and closer to exchanging for the Mangekyō Sharingan.
If he could defeat any of the projection characters he had drawn, he would instantly gain enough points to exchange for the Mangekyō Sharingan. Unfortunately, his luck was "too good"—the projection characters he drew were all far too powerful.
After becoming a Chunin, Liu Feng left.
Once he left, that faint sense of being watched disappeared.
Someone had been watching Liu Feng during the Chunin assessment. With his powerful perception, Liu Feng had been able to sense it.
He could even guess who it was. It had to be the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
In fact, Liu Feng's guess was correct. It was indeed Hiruzen Sarutobi watching him. Using the Telescopic Jutsu, he could observe Liu Feng's every move through the Crystal Ball.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had personally watched Liu Feng's entire Chunin assessment.
"He's very strong. Orochimaru might not have possessed such strength at his age. I wonder whether he's awakened the Sharingan."
Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes and muttered to himself.
This observation had not revealed all of Uchiha Liu Feng's strength. Based on what he had displayed, he was at least an Elite Chunin.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew he was definitely more than an Elite Chunin. His strength had to be greater, and he guessed Liu Feng possessed the strength of a Special Jonin.
As for being stronger still? Hiruzen Sarutobi thought that was impossible. If a ten-year-old possessed Jonin-level strength, that would be far too monstrous.
It was a good thing for Konoha to produce a genius, but this genius belonged to the Uchiha family. That truly gave him a headache.

Chapter 21
Inside the System Space, Liu Feng stared at the blank Mission Panel.
"Xiao Meng, will the Mission Panel refresh with new missions on its own?" Liu Feng asked Xiao Meng.
"No. Unless you spend points to refresh it, new missions will never appear," Xiao Meng said, shaking her head at Liu Feng.
"I feel like this is a trap."
Liu Feng's intuition told him that the Mission Panel seemed like a trap.
"Xiao Meng, spend one thousand points and refresh it once for me."
"Alright, Liu Feng. I'll refresh it right away."
Five missions instantly appeared on the Mission Panel.
"You're very lucky, Liu Feng. It actually refreshed five missions. You should know that the number of missions refreshed each time varies. At worst, only one mission might appear."
Xiao Meng looked at Liu Feng as though telling him how lucky he was.
Liu Feng, however, was expressionless. He even wanted to beat Xiao Meng up.
"What's the use of five missions? After completing all five, I still won't even earn back my investment. I knew this Mission Panel was a trap."
