Xia Yan remembered very clearly that Living Corpse Reincarnation used the caster's own chakra to replenish the recipient's life.
Once the caster's chakra could no longer hold out, it would naturally begin draining the caster's chakra. Chiyo in the original story was the most typical example.
Yet what Orochimaru was doing now struck Xia Yan as rather unbelievable.
Because this fellow was transferring all the damage, completing Living Corpse Reincarnation entirely with someone else's chakra and life!
What exactly is going on?
Xia Yan wondered to himself, because everything Orochimaru was doing before him truly went far beyond his imagination.
Hadn't this fellow been constantly patching and repairing the technique because Chiyo hadn't fully developed it?
How had he suddenly managed to develop even something like fucking Damage Transfer?
Orochimaru's display really made Xia Yan's scalp tingle. He truly hadn't expected Orochimaru to pull something like this off.
He closed his eyes briefly. When he opened them again, a brilliant azure gleam had appeared in them.
He had activated his Jōgan. He needed to observe every change in Orochimaru's casting more carefully and clearly.
