This was Qi Yuan's first time opening the fourth gate.
Yet he felt only a slight pain in his body, nowhere near as agonizing as he had imagined.
Could the physique from the Six Paths Madara Inheritance be so strong that it can withstand the pain of the fourth gate?
He stopped dwelling on it and picked up a glittering crystal from amid the countless shards of ice.
It was a Level Four Demon Beast's Chakra Crystal, as large as a three-year-old child's fist.
At the same time, system notifications rang out in Qi Yuan's mind.
Congratulations, host. You have suppressed Xu Ying and earned 50 Enhancement Points. Congratulations, host. You have suppressed Liu Song and earned 50 Enhancement Points. Congratulations, host. You have suppressed Wang Feng and earned 30 Enhancement Points. ...
The endless stream of notifications made Qi Yuan's eyes light up.
In that brief span of time, he had gained a full 1,000 Enhancement Points!
Host detected earning 1,000 Enhancement Points within five minutes. Bonus reward: Seven-Day Breathing Method!
Seven-Day Breathing Method?
Qi Yuan was inwardly shaken. The Seven-Day Breathing Method was also a form of Taijutsu.
In its early stages, it even rivaled the Eight Gates.
It was primarily a technique that revitalized the entire body by absorbing large quantities of oxygen from the surroundings in a short time.
At this moment, the Seven-Day Breathing Method in Qi Yuan's mind had only three stages.
First activation!
Second activation!
Third activation!
It takes 800 Enhancement Points in total, so I'll max it out to the third activation!
Qi Yuan opened his system panel for the first time in a while.
Host: Qi Yuan. Level: Level Four Peak. Chakra Affinity (potential): 521. Body Energy: 12456. Mental Energy: 13587. Eight Gates: Level Five (342/2000) Seven-Day Breathing Method: Level Three (maxed) Kekkei Genkai: Three-Tomoe Sharingan (9500/10000) Enhancement Points: 687.
An idea began to form in his mind.
With the Eight Gates of Limitless alone, I should be able to defeat some early- and middle-stage Grandmaster Realm fighters.
If I stack the Eight Gates of Limitless with the Seven-Day Breathing Method, could I now defeat the fighters on the Grandmaster Realm rankings?
Anyone who made it onto the Grandmaster Realm rankings was at least at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm.
Regardless of what he was thinking, however, the others remained unable to calm down!
"He actually broke through the Four Violet Flames Formation?"
"That must have been the Eight Gates of Limitless. Someone actually managed to train it to this level!"
"Wait, didn't I hear that Qi Yuan obtained the Sharingan?"
"Could the Eight Gates of Limitless have delayed the Sharingan's side effects?"
Xu Ying was still pale, struggling to stand up and thank Qi Yuan.
Yet she could not get to her feet at all.
Qi Yuan placed his hand directly on her back, and a stream of green Chakra surged into Xu Ying's body.
Xu Ying could not help letting out a soft murmur, feeling the pain in her body rapidly fade.
But a look of shock appeared on her face. "Is this the Mystical Palm Technique?"
She had received Tsunade's Inheritance, yet even now, she had not mastered it!
Everyone else's eyes widened even further!
"Is that Medical Ninjutsu? Qi Yuan can use that too?"
"No, that isn't ordinary Medical Ninjutsu. It should be the Mystical Palm Technique!"
The knowledgeable Cao Yang looked at Qi Yuan in astonishment once again.
He had a feeling that what his young friend Qi had obtained in the Planetary Space was definitely not as simple as the Sharingan.
Under the treatment of Qi Yuan's Mystical Palm Technique, Xu Ying slowly began to recover.
Yet endless questions welled up in her heart.
The Sharingan? The Eight Gates of Limitless? The Mystical Palm Technique?
What exactly had he obtained in the Eighth Layer?
Recalling how Qi Yuan had instantly killed the Level Four Demon Beast, Xu Ying could not help praising him. "I never expected you to be able to use the Eight Gates of Limitless and the Mystical Palm Technique too. We really owe you for this."
"In this state, you should be no weaker than some ordinary Grandmaster Realm fighters!"
Liu Song had caught his breath by now, and Xu Ying's words immediately displeased him.
"Xu Ying, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"As far as I'm concerned, breaking the Four Violet Flames Formation was a result of our combined efforts."
"He merely landed the final attack."
"Hmph! We took down this Level Four Demon Beast together, so we should have a share of the Chakra Crystal too."
Everyone present was a genius. Now that the danger had passed, they began considering their own interests again.
Liu Song turned to Qi Yuan and said casually, "Fellow student Qi, if you're willing to give me the Chakra Crystal you obtained, my Mowu Liu Family won't treat you poorly."
"I'll even ask the family to hire you as a Guardian."
As he saw it, although Qi Yuan had trained in the Eight Gates of Limitless,
he had been unlucky enough to choose the Sharingan.
He could only suppress the Sharingan's side effects for now.
Once he reached a higher realm, no one could withstand the Sharingan's curse.
As a member of a King Family Clan, he naturally knew about the experiments humanity had conducted on the Sharingan over the past three hundred years.
Virtually all of them had failed.
Qi Yuan would be no exception.
Feeling much better now, Xu Ying stood up and sneered coldly. "Liu Song, who are you trying to impress? Who was crying for his mommy and daddy just now?"
"Qi Yuan is already one of our Xu Family. Get lost!"
Liu Song's gaze immediately darkened.
Qi Yuan tilted his head as he looked at Liu Song, holding the fist-sized Chakra Crystal in his hand.
"You want this?"
Liu Song's face brightened, and he thought Qi Yuan knew how to play along.
His Mowu Liu Family still had quite a reputation.
Yet the very next second, his face fell.
"You can have jack shit!"
Everyone present could not help laughing. Only Liu Song was furious.
"You're just some nobody from a Cold-Clan. Our Liu Family..."
Before he could finish, Qi Yuan fixed him with a gaze as cold and sharp as a knife.
"My impression of the Liu Family is terrible. Don't force me to act!"
Cao Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, everyone here was safe.
Otherwise, those powerful Family Clans would tear him apart.
He looked at Qi Yuan gratefully.
At the same time, he gave Liu Song a cold look.
These Liu Family members were all like idiots.
If he truly enraged Qi Yuan, no one could save him.
"Student Liu, Qi Yuan saved you all. Don't you feel the slightest gratitude?"
"I've already reported everything that happened here to the Guardian Warden in full. Ultimately, you were the ones who caused this disaster."
Just as he finished speaking, a powerful surge of Chakra came from nearby!
And this Chakra was very familiar to Qi Yuan.
Jia Nan had finally arrived, late as he was.
Yet he frowned at the sight before him!
Weren't they supposed to be on the verge of being wiped out?
After Cao Yang explained everything that had happened, Jia Nan looked at Qi Yuan with an eager gaze.
"To be able to break through the Four Violet Flames Formation, you're already no weaker than an ordinary Grandmaster Realm fighter!"
"How long has it even been?"
He suddenly felt full of anticipation that Qi Yuan might break the Sharingan's curse.
But we need to keep the attention on this under control, or Qi Yuan will definitely become the center of discussion.
