Smooth!
This time Shin'un mobilized his chakra and felt only one thing: slippery!
It was just like ice cream melting in summer, the smoothest-textured chocolate.
It was not that Shin'un's chakra control technique had improved.
To use web-novel terms, the chakra pathways through which Shin'un circulated his chakra were widened and reinforced, making the chakra flow through them as if lubricated, extremely smooth.
Compared to before loading [Lightning Release Mastery], it was like a winding and tortuous rural path versus a wide and bright national highway.
Sensing that the chakra inside his body had reached the designated position, Shin'un hastily distributed his attention to his hands and began forming hand seals.
Thus, Shin'un found that his brain was as if it had been strengthened, easily able to balance the part about the internal chakra circulation and the part about the hand seals on his hands.
It seemed that, just like when loading [Extreme Reaction], the enhancement brought to him by [Lightning Release Mastery] was multifaceted.
"Bzz~"
A sound of electric current rang out in Shin'un's hand.
Shin'un looked at the fine blue-purple electric current lingering on his palm, unable to calm his heart.
Last night before he obtained [Lightning Release Mastery], his mastery of Lightning Release was still at the uninitiated stage, and after performing it hundreds of times in a row, only one attempt succeeded.
Early this morning, after he finished loading [Lightning Release Mastery], he could successfully perform a perfect Lightning Release with just a single try.
Shin'un found it somewhat hard to believe, and silently cut off the chakra delivery to his palm.
Starting from the beginning, Shin'un performed Lightning Release: Electric Current once again.
Circulating chakra, forming hand seals, transforming it into Lightning Release chakra, it was extremely smooth.
"Bzz~"
A cluster of electric light brighter than before flashed, illuminating the surrounding dark training ground brightly.
The intensely shaking electric arcs grew increasingly vigorous, bursting outward fiercely from the palm and wrapping Shin'un's entire right half of the body in purple electric arcs.
Shin'un was surprised in his heart, and this attempt succeeded as well.
Not only that, after the success of the previous performance, Shin'un keenly perceived the shortcomings in his operation of chakra, and after correcting them, this time Lightning Release: Electric Current was obviously even more successful.
A Lightning Release of this level was already of considerable power, and could completely be used for actual combat.
Even, Shin'un also felt that he could optimize this ninjutsu.
You must know that Shin'un had only contacted this C-rank ninjutsu named Lightning Release: Electric Current yesterday.
Shin'un could not help but feel amazed at himself.
The talent enhancement brought to him by [Lightning Release Mastery] was simply terrifying.
Looking at the fine electric current on his hand, Shin'un decided to test its power.
His gaze swept across the surroundings, finally locking onto a large tree four or five meters away from him.
With a thought, Shin'un refined more chakra and transported it to his right palm, making the fine electric current more vigorous, with the tips of the electric rays even extending two meters away.
His pupils shrank abruptly, and Shin'un directly threw the electric current lingering in his hand toward the target.
The blue-purple electric current extended and turned back in the air, heading toward the target chosen by Shin'un at an extremely fast speed.
In Shin'un's perspective, this electric current moving forward in the air had already exceeded the speed of a snail, and even slugs and turtles, directly crossing three tiers to reach the sloth tier.
In the end, this electric current crossed a distance of four or five meters and struck the trunk of the large tree.
"Bzz!"
The electric light grew intensely fierce, and then dimmed and disappeared.
Shin'un walked closer to the large tree and observed the marks on the trunk with the help of the faint surrounding light.
It could be clearly seen that the entire tree trunk was already pitch-black, and a pit appeared in the center of the pitch-blackness.
The pit was not large, just about the size of a fist.
Looking at the attacked marks on the tree trunk, a smile appeared at the corner of Shin'un's mouth.
Although the real power of this Lightning Release strike was not proportional to the momentum displayed just now, it was already enough for Shin'un.
It should be said that this degree of power had already exceeded Shin'un's expectations.
After all, given the characteristics of high offense and low defense among ninjas in the Shinobi World, this kind of attack power was already fatal enough.
Shin'un stood up, and his gaze cast toward his messenger bag behind him.
According to the scroll, practicing Lightning Release: Electric Current to attack two or three meters away was already practicing to an extremely proficient degree, and continuing to practice further would only be able to expand the range a little bit.
Shin'un truly could not imagine that one day he could also enjoy the treatment that those geniuses could enjoy.
After practicing only a few times, he could fully master a Lightning Release ninjutsu.
Shin'un raised his head to observe the sky; the distant horizon was only slightly bright, and the sun could not yet be seen, at most six or seven o'clock.
Turning around backwards, Shin'un picked up his messenger bag, took out a scroll from it, and unfolded it to read.
It was still early, so Shin'un decided to try other Lightning Release techniques.
The ninjutsu on this scroll was Lightning Release: False Darkness.
It attacked by condensing violent electric current into a sharp long spear, and its terrifying penetrating power could easily pierce through boulders.
Leaning against the trunk of the large tree, Shin'un began to carefully read the records on the scroll in his hand.
A dozen minutes later, Shin'un had already memorized all the techniques for performing ninjutsu recorded on the scroll.
Rolling up the scroll and putting it away, Shin'un returned to the center of the training ground.
After closing his eyes for a brief review, Shin'un controlled his chakra to circulate according to the records on the scroll, while his hands assisted by forming hand seals.
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
As Shin'un's hands finished forming the final seal, several thick currents of electricity gradually appeared around him, condensing together to form a vaguely transparent and unstable lightning long spear.
"Ha~"
Shin'un breathed heavily, looking at the lightning long spear floating beside him with excitement in his heart.
Although only a single lightning long spear was condensed, and this lightning long spear was visibly unstable, with the possibility of dissipating at any time.
The training difficulty of Lightning Release: False Darkness was B-rank, which was obviously much harder than the C-rank Lightning Release: Electric Current, but Shin'un still successfully performed it on the very first try.
"Ha~"
This Lightning Release was obviously more mentally taxing than Lightning Release: Electric Current. Just maintaining the lightning long spear floating beside him to observe, Shin'un felt his concentration gradually failing to hold.
The already unstable lightning long spear even showed signs of disintegrating.
Shin'un did not dare to delay, focusing his gaze on a boulder not far away and treating it as the attack target.
"Swish!"
The sound of air being torn apart rang out, and the lightning long spear rushed toward the boulder at an extremely fast speed.
"Boom!"
Immediately following, the sounds of explosion and boulder disintegration rang out, and a shock wave carrying kinetic energy swept over, shaking the tree leaves on the surrounding trees to fall one after another.
A plume of thick smoke rose from the location where the boulder had originally been.
Standing in place to wait for a moment, after the dust and smoke gradually dispersed, Shin'un stepped forward to check.
The half-person-high boulder had already been split into several pieces by a single strike, and in the middle was a roughly circular penetration hole, from which one end could clearly see the other end.
Shin'un knew clearly that this was because of the specialized penetrating power of the lightning long spear.
