Lin Tian wore Zongman Continent and awakened a golden finger that defied the heavens!

Defeat powerful enemies, collect fragments, and instantly master any character’s unique skills!

When Lin Tian’s bone armor’s power first showed its edge, the entire Central City was shocked –

“Is he really just a new guy?”

“Healing Goddess” Inoue Orihime: My healing light can heal all wounds!

“Cooking Genius” Erina Nakiri: The ultimate taste buds of God’s tongue, just to taste your power!

“Medical Saint” Tsunade: These fists that can crush mountains are willing to destroy all enemies for you!

“White Eyes Princess” Hyuga Hinata: My white eyes can see through everything, but I can’t see through…

Lin Tian looked at his clan which was growing stronger day by day.

System upgrade, mall opening, ability fusion, the forbidden power is at your fingertips!

Zongman: Collect the family’s magical skills from zero!
1: The god-level collection system awakens, and kills D-level Arrancar in one move!
A dazzling white light flashed, and Lin Tian suddenly opened his eyes and found himself lying in an unfamiliar wasteland.
“Where is this?”
He sat up with a spring in his hand, his mind flashing back to the last memory of the truck running him over.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for traveling to the Zongman Continent, the exclusive golden finger “God-level Collection System” is activated! ]A blue light curtain unfolds before my eyes:
[Host: Lin Tian][System level: LV.1][Ability: Defeat the character to collect energy fragments, collect the corresponding fragments to activate the corresponding ability][Current progress: 0/100][System Mall: Not open (need to reach LV.2)]“God-level collection system?” Lin Tian clenched his fists, excitement rising in his heart.
As a veteran anime fan, he instantly realized what this meant – possessing this ability in the anime fusion world was simply a golden finger tailor-made for him!
There was a commotion in the distance, and three strange men wearing white bone armor approached this side.
Lin Tian’s heart beat faster—isn’t this the Arrancar from Bleach?
“There are living people!”
The leading Arrancar grinned and charged forward with his bone spear raised.
Lin Tian dodged instinctively, but was surprised to find that his body was incredibly flexible and he easily avoided the attack!
[System prompt: The host’s physique has been strengthened to D-level, enough to deal with low-level anime characters]The first Arrancar stabbed again, Lin Tian ducked to avoid it, grabbed a sharp stone on the ground, and stabbed it into the back of the Arrancar’s neck!
“ah!”
The Arrancar screamed, and his body turned into pieces and dissipated into the air.
[Kill successful! Obtained 1/20 of the Arrancar’s energy fragments, current progress: 1/100]Lin Tian was shocked. It turned out that he needed to collect 20 fragments of the Hollow to gain the ability!
Before he could think any more, the other two Arrancars rushed over.
Lin Tian dodged left and right relying on the physical fitness enhanced by the system, but due to his lack of experience, he was still scratched on the arm by the spear of a hollow, and blood dripped from the wound.
“These guys are harder to deal with than I thought!”
Lin Tian gritted his teeth, knowing that he was not strong enough.
At the critical moment, Lin Tian kicked a stone on the ground and hit the second hollow in the face.
While it staggered backwards, Lin Tian picked up the bone spear dropped by the first Hollow and threw it with all his might!
The spear whizzed through the Arrancar’s chest, and it let out a shrill scream before dissipating into spirit particles!
[Kill successful! Obtained 2/20 of the Arrancar’s energy fragments, current progress: 2/100]The last Arrancar saw this and fled.
Lin Tian grabbed another spear, aimed at his back, and threw it hard!
The spear shot out like lightning, accurately piercing the back of the Arrancar!
[Kill successful! Obtained 3/20 of the Arrancar’s energy fragments, current progress: 3/100][Reward: Central City-State D-level Pass]A glowing bronze badge appeared in Lin Tian’s hand.
He turned it over curiously, his eyes cast towards the vague outline of the city in the distance.
“Is that the Central City?”
Lin Tian said to himself, “Since there are Arrancars here, it must be a world where all kinds of anime characters coexist!”
He hurried along the obvious path towards the city-state, thinking about the collection plan in his mind.
Although the system did not make him invincible immediately, as long as he collected knowledge steadily, he would eventually become the strongest!
About half an hour later, Lin Tian arrived in front of a tall city gate.
Several guards in black uniforms were checking the passes of those entering the city.
Lin Tian displayed the bronze badge, and the guards nodded and let him go:
“D-level pass, only allows access to the outer city. Don’t cause trouble.”
After crossing the city gate, Lin Tian was amazed by the sight before him—all kinds of anime characters were running around on the wide streets!
The ninjas from Naruto rub shoulders with the members of Bleach;
One Piece pirates and Dragon Ball fighters bargain in a store;
The Stand User of “JOJO” and the Wizard of “Fairy Tail” chatted on the street corner…
“This is anime heaven!”
Lin Tian was overwhelmed and so excited that he almost forgot to breathe.
He walked through the streets, capturing information from the conversations of passers-by:
This world is called Zongman Continent, which is formed by the fusion of all anime worlds and has existed stably for thousands of years.
The strength levels from low to high are divided into: E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS.
Lin Tian’s current D-level strength only allows him to move around in the outer city area. If he wants to go to more core areas, he must upgrade his pass level.
“Help! Catch the thief!”
A scream interrupted Lin Tian’s thoughts.
A small man snatched a young girl’s wallet and ran away.
The girl was wearing a white dress, with long black hair like a waterfall. She looked at the fleeing thief with tearful eyes.
Lin Tian’s eyes lit up—isn’t this Orihime Inoue from “Bleach”?
Her delicate face and clear eyes like a porcelain doll are even more lively and charming than in the anime!
“Collection opportunities delivered to your doorstep!”
Lin Tian chased after him without hesitation.
With the physical fitness enhanced by the system, he caught up with the thief in just two or three steps.
“stop!”
Lin Tian grabbed the thief by the collar.
The thief turned around and smiled grimly:
“court death!”
A dagger stabbed towards Lin Tian’s chest like lightning!

ActivityRegister as a Filo member and get 200 points![Register Now]2: Surprise! A D-rank rookie actually led Orihime to harvest crazily in the Arrancar tide, and even hooked Tsunade (old version)
Lin Tian dodged sideways and at the same time chopped the thief’s wrist with a knife.
The dagger fell to the ground and the thief screamed in pain.
“You dare to attack me?” The thief roared, and suddenly pulled out a bone spur from his body – this turned out to be a low-level Arrancar disguised as a human!
Lin Tian was overjoyed: “Another Arrancar has arrived!”
When the bone spur came, Lin Tian was prepared.
He ducked down, picked up the dagger on the ground, and stabbed it accurately between the brows of the hollow!
The Arrancar screamed and dissipated into pieces!
[Kill successful! Obtained 4/20 of the Arrancar’s energy fragments, current progress: 4/100]“Thank you for saving me!”
Inoue Orihime ran over, her cheeks slightly flushed from running, adding a bit of lively beauty.
Looking closely, Orihime Inoue is even more stunning than in the anime – her big watery eyes, straight nose, pink lips, and graceful figure all exude youthful vitality.
“It’s just a piece of cake.” Lin Tian handed back the wallet with a smile.
“My name is Inoue Orihime. What’s your name?” Inoue asked with her head tilted, her long hair swaying gently, setting off her jade-like face.
“My name is Lin Tian, ​​and I just arrived in the Central City-State.” Lin Tian replied.
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree to the host +10, current family degree: 10/100]Lin Tian’s eyes lit up. He actually had the ability of a clan!
He couldn’t help but feel his heart beating faster!
Inoue Orihime looked at the bronze badge on Lin Tian’s chest and said, “You are also D-level! What a coincidence, so am I. Do you want to go on a mission together? There is a mission guild in the Central City-State. You can earn points and coins by accepting missions.”
“Quest Guild?” Lin Tian’s spirits perked up. “It’s great to have you leading the way.”
As the two walked forward, Inoue gave a vivid introduction to the situation of the Central City-State. His elegant steps and light movements made Lin Tian steal a few glances from time to time.
The Quest Guild is located in the center of the outer city and is a four-story stone building.
Entering the hall, it was crowded with people and various anime characters were there to receive tasks.
The task notices on the wall are arranged in order of difficulty from E to SSS.
“We can only accept missions of D-rank and below.”
Inoue pointed to the D-level mission area on the wall, his voice soft and pleasant.
Lin Tian browsed the task list, and one task immediately caught his attention:
[Mission: Clear out the Western Suburbs Arrancar Squad][Difficulty: D-level][Reward: 100 gold coins, D-level pass points +10][Requirement: Kill 10 Arrancar]“That’s it!”
Lin Tian pointed to the notice excitedly, “I have experience dealing with Arrancar.”
Inoue nodded, smiling: “Okay, my healing ability can assist you.”
Just as the two were about to accept the mission, a commotion was heard from the guild entrance.
The crowd automatically parted to make way for a passage.
A blonde woman strode in, followed by several guards.
That noble face made Lin Tian’s heart stop—it was Tsunade from “Naruto”!
Tsunade was wearing a green top, with a noble and majestic temperament, and her every move exuded the aura of a strong person.
Her youthful face and mature and elegant manners all demonstrate her charm as a legendary female ninja.
“It’s Lady Tsunade!”
Inoue whispered, “She is a senior member of the Central City Council, an SS-level powerhouse!”
Lin Tian stared at Tsunade intently, thinking to himself: If I could take her into my harem, I would be a winner in life!
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the guild! The ground shook violently!
Everyone rushed to the window and saw a huge crack appearing on the city wall in the distance, and countless black shadows poured out of it!
“It’s the Arrancar Army!”
Someone exclaimed, “There are at least hundreds of them!”
Tsunade shouted, “All C-level and above ability users, follow me immediately to support the city wall!”
She turned and rushed out of the guild, her golden hair flying and her demeanor showing the demeanor of a king.
Lin Tian grabbed Inoue’s wrist and said, “This is a great opportunity to collect Arrancar fragments! Let’s go too!”
Inoue said worriedly: “But we only have D-level strength…”
Lin Tian looked at her firmly: “Follow me, it will be safe!”
The two followed Tsunade and rushed towards the city wall.
The battle has begun, dozens of Arrancars are fighting fiercely with the city guards, and the scene is extremely chaotic!
“Protect the civilians and evacuate!”
Tsunade punched out, and the five Arrancars were instantly shattered!
That heroic figure was as dazzling as a Valkyrie on the battlefield!
Lin Tian looked for an opportunity to attack, specifically targeting lone Bronzans.
He dodged and jumped, and with his knowledge of the Arrancar’s weaknesses, he killed three low-level Arrancar in succession!
[Kill successful! Obtained Arrancar energy fragments 5/20, 6/20, 7/20, current progress: 7/100]During the battle, Lin Tian was pleasantly surprised to find that he became braver and braver, and his reaction speed and strength continued to improve!
[System prompt: Host’s combat experience increased, physical fitness slightly enhanced]Inoue was healing the injured guards in the rear, and her focused expression added a touch of holy beauty.
After half an hour of fierce fighting, thanks to the efforts of Tsunade and other strong men, the army of Arrancar was finally repelled.
Lin Tian seized every opportunity and killed a total of eight Arrancars!
[System prompt: Arrancar energy fragment collection progress: 12/20][System progress improvement: 12/100][Reward: D-level pass upgraded to D+ level]There was an additional golden line on Lin Tian’s bronze badge, symbolizing an increase in level.
“You, D+ level kid!”
Tsunade suddenly came in front of Lin Tian.

3: Outrageous! Bring Orihime to brush fragments to awaken bone armor and fight against the heroes in the selection field (old version)
There was a strange flash in her amber eyes.
“Well done, you killed eight Arrancars single-handedly. You have great potential.”
“Tomorrow the Central City State will hold a new talent selection, and the parliament is recruiting new people with potential.”
Tsunade extended the invitation, the corners of her lips slightly raised, outlining a heart-warming arc, “Are you interested in participating?”
Lin Tian suppressed his heartbeat: “Of course!”
Tsunade nodded with satisfaction, turned and left. Her elegant figure was hard to look away.
“You’re awesome!”
Inoue Orihime excitedly took Lin Tian’s hand, which felt soft and warm, “Lady Tsunade personally invited you to participate in the newcomer selection! This is a great opportunity!”
As night fell, Lin Tian and Inoue Orihime found a hotel to stay in.
“Tomorrow’s selection is very important, you need to get some rest.”
Inoue warned softly, his gentle eyes revealing his concern.
Lin Tian nodded, and immediately opened the system panel after returning to the room:
[Arrancar Energy Fragments: 12/20][Current collection progress: 12/100][Current Strength: D+ Level]“I only need 8 more Arrancar fragments to gain the power, and I must collect them before tomorrow’s selection!” Lin Tian decided secretly.
In the morning, Lin Tian suggested to Inoue: “Let’s go to the western suburbs before the selection. There may be more Arrancar there.”
“Selection starts at ten o’clock…” Inoue bit his lower lip lightly, looking worried.
“Don’t worry, I will be back before eight o’clock.” Lin Tian was full of confidence.
The two set off for the western suburbs. This desolate area is rarely visited by people and is often frequented by low-level Arrancars.
“careful!”
Inoue nervously held Lin Tian’s arm, and the warm touch made his heart flutter.
Less than ten minutes into their walk, three Arrancar suddenly jumped out from the bushes!
“Found prey!”
Lin Tian was well prepared. He dodged the attack of the first Hollow and pulled out a dagger from his waist, stabbing it accurately into the back of his neck!
[Kill successful! Obtained Arrancar energy fragments 13/20]The other two Arrancar attacked even more fiercely when they saw their companion being killed.
Lin Tian dodged flexibly. A hollow-faced man stabbed at him with a bone spear. Lin Tian deliberately exposed a flaw, and when the hollow-faced man got close to him, he suddenly exploded and cut the hollow-faced man’s throat with a knife!
[Kill successful! Obtained 14/20 fragments of Arrancar energy]The last Arrancar saw that the situation was not good and turned around and fled.
Lin Tian grabbed the bone spear and threw it with all his might!
The bone spear whizzed out and pierced through the back of the hollow!
[Kill successful! Obtained 15/20 Arrancar energy fragments]“Lin Tian, ​​you are so awesome!”
Inoue exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with adoration.
Lin Tian did not stop and continued searching in the western suburbs.
Sure enough, in the next hour, he encountered two more groups of Arrancar and successfully killed five of them!
[Arrancar energy fragments collected: 20/20][Trigger special ability: bone armor control][Host can freely materialize bone weapons and armor, melee attack power greatly increased][Current collection progress: 20/100][Strength increased to C-level]“Success!” Lin Tian excitedly felt the new power surging in his body.
As soon as he thought about it, his right hand was instantly covered with a layer of white bone armor, and his five fingers turned into sharp bone claws!
“So cool!” Inoue looked at Lin Tian’s changes in amazement, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Lin Tian experimented with materializing different bone weapons—daggers, spears, shields, changing them at will! Although their power was limited, they were more than enough to deal with opponents of the same level.
“It’s almost time, let’s go back and participate in the selection.” Lin Tian put away his bone armor and walked forward with satisfaction.
The two hurried back into the city and came to the central square.
Hundreds of contestants have gathered here, mostly young people from D and C grades.
“The competition is really fierce.”
Lin Tian looked around and found many familiar characters – Rock Lee from “Naruto”, a character from “Bleach”, Usopp from “One Piece”, etc.
On the podium, Tsunade and several council members sat.
Tsunade changed into a blue top today, which made her look more capable and neat, and her every move exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry.
“Welcome everyone to participate in the Central City-State Council’s new member selection!”
Tsunade stood up, her voice was sonorous and powerful.
“This selection will be divided into three rounds: physical fitness test, skill demonstration and actual combat. The winner will become an intern member of the council and receive special training resources!”
Everyone was shocked. Being a trainee member of the parliament was an extremely rare opportunity!
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
4: Newcomer selection changes! Who says D-level is weak? (Old version)
The first round of physical fitness tests began quickly.
The content includes basic items such as running, jumping, and climbing.
Lin Tian easily advanced to the next level thanks to his system-enhanced physical fitness and newly acquired bone armor abilities!
“Now we move on to the second round: skill demonstration!” the host announced. “Please show off your strongest skills. The judges will score based on practicality, uniqueness, and mastery.”
The contestants came on stage one by one.
Xiao Li demonstrated the first three gates of the “Eight Gates of Dunjia”;
Ikkaku released a powerful spiritual pressure;
Usopp demonstrates his superb shooting skills.
When it was Lin Tianshi’s turn, everyone’s eyes were focused.
“My ability is bone armor control.” Lin Tian announced calmly.
Under the surprised gazes of everyone, Lin Tian’s entire body was quickly covered with a layer of white bone armor, and sharp bone blades extended from his arms!
“Is this the ability of the Arrancar?” the audience whispered.
Lin Tian did not explain and began to demonstrate the bone armor’s ability to change into various forms – shield, spear, whip, etc.
Finally, he gathered all the energy in his body, and the bone armor instantly transformed, covering his entire body and forming a set of exquisite bone armor. A ferocious beast-shaped helmet also formed on his head!
The whole audience was in an uproar!
How can this be considered a low-level Hollow’s ability?
It is clearly the fully liberated form of a high-level Arrancar!
Even Tsunade sat up straighter, surprise glittering in her eyes.
“Excellent presentation!”
The judges gave it a very high score, “It is rare to see such a proficient use of bone armor control ability!”
At the end of the second round, Lin Tian successfully advanced to the top fifty!
“Final round: actual combat showdown!”
The host announced, “Fifty contestants will compete in a random match, and the winner will advance!”
Lin Tian’s first opponent was a character in “Death”.
This powerful god of death has great fighting ability, but Lin Tian is not afraid.
“start!”
Ikkaku drew out his Zanpakuto and rushed towards Lin Tian!
Lin Tian was not in a hurry. He covered his arms with bone armor and easily blocked Ikkira’s attack!
“I have some skills.”
Ikkaku exclaimed, “But it’s not enough!”
He suddenly released his spiritual pressure, and powerful energy wrapped around his Zanpakutō!
Lin Tian knew that he couldn’t resist, so he quickly retreated, covering his entire body with bone armor and preparing for defense.
Ichiku swung his sword with incredible power!
Lin Tian crossed his arms, and his bone armor instantly thickened!
clang!
With a loud bang, Lin Tian was knocked back several meters, but his bone armor was not damaged at all!
There was an exclamation from the audience!
Lin Tian seized the moment when Jiao was stunned and suddenly counterattacked!
The bone blade on his right arm extended and stabbed towards Ikkaku’s chest like lightning!
Ikkaku defended hastily and got a bloody scratch on his arm!
“You are strong.”
Ikkaku said in a deep voice, “But I still have a trump card!”
He is ready to release his Zanpakutō’s Shikai form!
Lin Tian knew that he could not be given a chance, so he rushed to Yijiao in an instant, and all the bone spurs in his body exploded at the same time!
“Bone Spur Thousand Fangs!”
Countless bone spurs stabbed towards one corner from all directions, as fast as the wind!
Yijiao was horrified and only blocked part of the attack, while the rest of the bone spurs were all hit!
“The winner is decided!”
The referee announced, “Lin Tian wins!”
Ikkaku was unwilling to bow his head, but he also gave a thumbs up in admiration: “Good boy, I look forward to our next fight.”
Lin Tian defeated three opponents in succession and successfully entered the finals!
The opponent in the final is Hinata Hyuga from “Naruto”!
This seemingly weak girl showed amazing strength in the competition and defeated several strong opponents in succession.
Hinata’s pure and elegant appearance hides a fighting ability that cannot be underestimated.
“Please advise me.”
Hinata bowed politely, her graceful movements revealing her good upbringing, but her eyes were full of fighting spirit.
“Please give me your guidance.” Lin Tian also returned the greeting.
The battle begins!
Hinata quickly activated her Byakugan and started with a soft fist:
“Sixty-four Eight Trigrams Palms!”
Her attack came like a storm, and every palm was aimed at Lin Tian’s acupoints!
Even with the protection of bone armor, Lin Tian still felt bursts of pain.
The characteristic of soft fist is that it can penetrate the defense and directly attack the inside!
“We can’t fight head-on!” Lin Tian quickly stepped back to create some distance.
Hinata chases relentlessly, and her soft fist attack becomes more and more fierce!
Her body displays amazing flexibility in combat, and every movement is graceful and deadly.
Lin Tian was forced into a corner and the situation was critical!
At this moment, he had an idea and thought of another use for the bone armor!
“Bone Explosion!”
The bone armor on Lin Tian’s arm suddenly exploded, and countless bone fragments shot towards Hinata like bullets!
Although Hinata has Byakugan, there are too many bone fragments and the angles are tricky, so she has to stop attacking and defend!
Lin Tian seized the opportunity, and a bone sword instantly condensed in his right arm, rushing towards Hinata like lightning!
Hinata tried to dodge, but Lin Tian was too fast and the bone sword stopped an inch in front of her throat!
“I give up.”
Hinata smiled brightly, a faint blush on her cheeks, “You are really strong.”
The whole audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers!
“The champion of this new talent contest is Lin Tian!” the host announced excitedly.
Tsunade personally walked down the platform and came in front of Lin Tian.
Admiring her delicate features and elegant temperament up close, Lin Tian couldn’t help feeling a little nervous.
“Congratulations, young man.”
Tsunade’s voice was as mellow and sweet as fine wine, “Your performance was impressive.”
Lin Tian bowed respectfully: “Thank you, Master Tsunade.”
“From today on, you officially become an apprentice member of the council.” Tsunade said solemnly, her eyes burning, “This badge represents your new identity.”
She pulled out a silver badge with the emblem of the Central City-State engraved on it.
“At the same time, your pass has been upgraded to Class C, which allows you to enter Midtown.”
Tsunade added, unknowingly moving closer to Lin Tian, ​​the intoxicating fragrance lingering around his nose.
Lin Tian took the badge, feeling both excited and nervous. His fingers accidentally touched Tsunade’s jade-smooth palm, and an electric current instantly ran through his body!
5: Encounter with Erina at the Bankai Dining Hall! Tsunade breaks in at night in her pajamas! (Old version)
[System prompt: The host has been successfully promoted to a trainee member of the parliament, and is rewarded with system experience +30][Current collection progress: 50/100][System upgrade conditions met, upgraded to LV.2][New functions launched: system mall, capability integration]Lin Tian was overjoyed, the system was finally upgraded!
“Lin Tian!”
Inoue Orihime ran over excitedly and hugged him.
The warm embrace and faint fragrance are intoxicating.
Tsunade looked at the two of them and said meaningfully, “Please report to the Council Headquarters tomorrow morning. You may bring an assistant with you.”
After saying that, she turned and left. Her elegant back made everyone present unable to take their eyes off her.
“marvelous!”
Inoue let go of her hand, blushed and took a step back. Her innocent and lovely expression added a bit of innocent beauty, “Let’s go celebrate!”
“Okay!” Lin Tian agreed readily.
The two came to a restaurant called “Wanjie Canteen”.
The decoration here is exquisite, and the dishes incorporate the characteristics of various anime worlds.
After sitting down, Lin Tian was pleasantly surprised to find that there were many familiar anime characters sitting around him – Komatsu from “Gourmet Prisoner”, Tadokoro Megumi from “Food Wars!”, Liu Maoxing from “Cooking Master Boy”, etc.
“This restaurant was jointly opened by several gourmet chefs.” Inoue explained, his voice as sweet as a clear spring.
As he was talking, an elegant blonde woman came over and said, “Welcome, what can I do for you?”
When Lin Tian took a look, he found that it was the goddess-level character in “Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma” – Erina Nakiri!
Her long golden hair was elegantly spread out, and her every move revealed her aristocratic temperament, like a flower blooming on a high mountain, so beautiful that it could not be compared with anything else.
“Ms. Erina!”
Inoue greeted with surprise, “You are helping out in the store today as well.”
“Yes, it’s my turn on duty.” Erina replied with a smile, her eyes fell on Lin Tian, ​​her sapphire eyes sparkling with wisdom, “Who is this?”
“He is Lin Tian. He just won the championship in the rookie selection and became a trainee member of the parliament!” Inoue introduced proudly.
“Oh?” Erinami’s eyes flashed with surprise, and a charming smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. “Congratulations. To celebrate, I will cook today’s special dish myself as a gift to you.”
As she spoke, she gracefully leaned over to write on the order menu, her every move revealing nobility and elegance.
[System prompt: Erina Nakiri’s family degree to the host +15, current family degree: 15/100]The dinner was delicious, and Lin Tian and Inoue talked and laughed happily.
During the dinner, many people came to congratulate Lin Tian on his victory, including his opponents Ikko and Hinata.
After returning to the hotel, Lin Tian couldn’t wait to open the system panel to check out the new features after the upgrade.
[System level: LV.2][Arrancar Ability: Bone Armor Control (Already Mastered)][System Mall: Opened][Ability Fusion: Enabled (requires two related abilities)][Current Strength: C-Class]There are various props and skills in the system mall, but they are expensive and need to be purchased with system points.
Points are obtained by completing tasks or defeating powerful enemies.
The ability fusion function is even more attractive – as long as you collect related abilities, you can fuse them into more powerful new abilities!
Lin Tian lay on the bed, too excited to sleep.
Just when Lin Tian was about to fall asleep, a strange noise suddenly came from outside the window!
He sat up alertly, only to see the window being gently pushed open and a black shadow flashed in silently!
“who?”
Lin Tian immediately activated the bone armor and prepared for battle.
The black shadow slowly turned around, revealing a charming face under the moonlight – it was Tsunade!
She had changed out of her daytime formal attire and was wearing a thin nightgown. The moonlight outlined her graceful figure, exuding the unique charm of a mature woman.
“Don’t be nervous, little one.”
Tsunade chuckled, her voice deep and touching, “I have something important to discuss with you alone.”
6: SS-level beauty visits late at night, top-secret intelligence triggers a rise against the sky! (Old version)
Lin Tian put away his bone armor, his eyes unconsciously lingering on Tsunade’s graceful figure for a moment.
The moonlight shone through the window onto Tsunade, and the thin nightgown outlined her perfect curves.
Even on Earth, she is the goddess in the hearts of countless men. Now that she is standing in front of them in person, her charm is even more irresistible.
“Coming to my room in the middle of the night, aren’t you afraid of being misunderstood?” Lin Tian asked calmly, but in fact he was secretly on guard.
The system’s cold prompt sounded in my mind:
[SS-level strongman detected: Tsunade][Current Strength Gap: Huge][Suggestion: Stay vigilant and avoid direct conflict][Family Degree Test: 30/100, Initial Favorability]“Thirty points of clan degree?” Lin Tian was secretly delighted. He didn’t expect that this legendary female ninja in the Naruto world would have such a high liking for him.
Tsunade chuckled and sat down gracefully on the edge of the bed, a faint scent of alcohol emanating from her lips.
“You think I care about these little things?”
She shook her head slightly, her golden hair gleaming charmingly in the moonlight. “It’s not an ordinary thing that makes me visit you in person late at night.”
Tsunade’s expression suddenly became serious.
“Lin Tian, ​​I won’t beat around the bush.” ​​She looked directly into Lin Tian’s eyes, “Your performance in today’s trials was amazing.”
Lin Tian’s heart tightened.
His performance in defeating Ikkaku and Hinata attracted the attention of the higher-ups?
“So what?” Lin Tian shrugged, pretending to be indifferent. “I just played to my best.”
Tsunade shook her head, her amber eyes sparkling with wisdom.
“Your bone armor ability is pure and flawless, with no foreign impurities at all.” She said softly, “Of all the abilities I have seen, yours is the most unique.”
Lin Tian appeared calm on the surface, but was secretly delighted in his heart.
This is exactly the benefit brought by the system. The collected abilities are purified by the system and are naturally more perfect than those learned directly by ordinary people.
But this secret must never be known to anyone.
“I have been able to control bones since I was a child. This is my talent.” Lin Tian made up a story, “It may be related to my physique.”
Tsunade nodded thoughtfully and did not ask any further questions.
“Regardless, your talent is amazing.”
She stood up, walked to the window, and turned her back to Lin Tian. “Because of this, you have attracted the attention of some people.”
“Who is it?” Lin Tian asked vigilantly.
Tsunade turned around, her eyes sharp, “There is a secret organization in the city-state called Shadow. They specialize in finding those with special talents and recruiting them or… eliminating them.”
Lin Tian’s heartbeat quickened, but he remained calm on the surface.
“Why do they do that?”
“Because of power.” Tsunade answered simply, “The rarer the ability, the more powerful it can bring. And the Shadow Organization is made up of a group of lunatics who crave power.”
Lin Tian nodded, understanding Tsunade’s hint.
“You mean, I’ve been targeted?”
Tsunade smiled softly, “Smart. But don’t worry too much. I’ve made some arrangements.”
She took out an exquisite scroll from her arms and handed it to Lin Tian.
“Tomorrow at noon, bring this and come alone to the Red Leaf Pavilion on the hill behind the Parliament. I will tell you more.”
Lin Tian took the scroll and felt the powerful energy fluctuations hidden in it.
“What’s this?”
“A protective amulet that can withstand an attack below S-rank once in an emergency.” Tsunade said seriously, “Carry it with you in case of an emergency.”
Lin Tian felt warm in his heart that this SS-level beauty actually cared so much about his safety.
The system prompts in a timely manner:
[Tsunade’s favorability has increased! ][Family Degree: 35/100][Reward: Naruto Basic Chakra Perception Ability (Sealed State)]Lin Tian was delighted. He didn’t expect that Tsunade’s favorability would be so easy to improve. Moreover, he also gained a new ability, although it was currently sealed.
“Thank you for your concern.” Lin Tian said sincerely, “I will be careful.”
Tsunade nodded with satisfaction, and her expression suddenly changed.
“Someone is coming!” she whispered.
Almost at the same moment, Lin Tian felt a cold breath rapidly approaching the room.
Tsunade quickly opened the window and prepared to leave.
“Remember, tomorrow at noon, Red Leaf Pavilion.” She finally warned, “Be careful.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared into the night.
Lin Tian quickly put the scroll into his arms and pretended to sleep.
Less than ten seconds after Tsunade left, the window was pushed open silently again.
A figure in a black cloak slid into the room silently.
Lin Tian pretended to be asleep, but all his senses were highly alert.
The system warning sounded immediately:
[Danger! A-level strongman approaching! ][Identity: Unknown]【Suggestion: Avoid direct conflict】
A-level strongman!
Lin Tian’s heart tightened. This was far beyond what he could handle.
The man in black moved slowly in the room, as if looking for something.
Finally, the man in black stopped beside Lin Tian’s bed, stretched out a pale hand, and slowly approached Lin Tian’s head.
7: Help! I just fought off the night assassin, and now I’m being fed by a beautiful girl (old version)
At this moment, Lin Tian swung out his right arm suddenly!
At the same time, the bone armor was instantly activated, and a silver-white bone blade shot out from the palm of the hand, heading straight for the throat of the man in black!
The man in black obviously did not expect that Lin Tian would suddenly counterattack while he was sleeping. He barely avoided the fatal blow in a hurry, but the bone blade still cut his mask!
The man in black snorted coldly and slapped Lin Tian on the chest.
Lin Tian was well prepared. He flipped backwards and opened the bone armor on his left hand to form a shield!
The attack power of an A-level strongman was amazing. Even with the protection of bone armor, Lin Tian still felt a huge force coming and was knocked back several steps!
Just as it was about to hit the wall, the scroll in Lin Tian’s arms suddenly unfolded automatically, releasing a golden light!
“Protective barrier?”
The man in black was obviously surprised and quickly withdrew his attack.
With the light released by the scroll, Lin Tian finally saw the face of the man in black clearly——
A face as pale as paper, but the eyes were a strange purple color, and there were two purple lines extending downwards from the corners of the eyes.
Lin Tian’s heart shuddered; this face seemed familiar!
A trace of surprise flashed across the black-clothed man’s eyes, and then he sneered, “Interesting, a C-level kid can actually sense my approach in his sleep.”
He backed away slowly, his tone full of amusement, “What’s even more interesting is that Tsunade gave you a protective amulet. It seems that you are really special.”
Lin Tian stared at the opponent vigilantly, with bone armor covering his entire body, ready to fight at any time.
“Who are you? Why are you breaking into my room?”
The man in black retreated to the window, a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth beneath the mask.
“Remember, little one, I’ll come back for you,” he whispered, “your abilities will soon be mine.”
Before he finished speaking, the man in black had disappeared into the night.
Lin Tian stood where he was, still alert.
The system prompts again:
[Detected danger has been eliminated][New mission triggered: Uncover the secrets of the shadow organization][Mission Difficulty: Grade A][Task Reward: System Experience Points × 100, Hidden Reward × 1]【Accept the mission? Yes/No】
Lin Tian chose “yes” without hesitation.
Although this crisis ended safely, it also proved that Tsunade’s warning was not groundless and the Shadow Organization was indeed targeting him!
The system interface is updated again:
【Task Accepted】
[Phase 1: Go to Hongye Pavilion to learn more about the Shadow Organization][Suggestion: Improve your strength, collect more abilities, and prepare for the next danger]Lin Tian clenched his fists.
The appearance of these mysterious and powerful men actually inspired his fighting spirit!
At this time, on a high tower in the distance, several figures were silently looking at the room where Lin Tian was.
“The boy avoided the initial probing,” a hoarse voice said.
“With only C-level strength, he can sense the approach of an A-level expert, and his reaction speed is far beyond that of ordinary people.” Another voice analyzed, “His potential is indeed extraordinary.”
“Keep observing.” The owner of the hoarse voice ordered, “The rookie champions of each session are our key monitoring targets. This session, it seems that they can be ranked in the top 100!”
“As you command, my Lord.”
The figure disappeared into the night, leaving only the silent night sky.
Outside the window, a black crow was perched on a branch, its scarlet eyes watching everything quietly.
It blinked, then spread its wings and flew off into the darkness beyond.
Lin Tian opened his eyes, and the morning light had already filled the room.
The attack by the men in black last night was still vivid in Lin Tian’s mind, but he did not feel the slightest fear. Instead, he felt a little excited.
“This world is more interesting than I thought.”
He turned over and sat up, opening the system interface:
[Current system level: LV.2][System Progress: 55/100][Ability acquired: Bone armor control (fully mastered)][Basic Chakra Perception Ability of Naruto (Seal State)][Current mission: Uncover the secrets of the Shadow Organization (in progress)]He tried to activate the chakra perception ability, but the system prompted that Tsunade’s family degree must reach 50 points before it could be unlocked.
“If we raise our clan’s level by 15 points, today’s meeting will be a good opportunity.”
Lin Tian quickly got up, washed, put on the Silver Council trainee uniform he received after the selection competition, and carefully hid the scroll given by Tsunade in the inside pocket.
Pushing open the door, Lin Tian was surprised to find Inoue Orihime standing outside the door, seemingly about to knock on it.
“Lin Tianjun, good morning!” She greeted with a smile, her long hair like a waterfall, shining softly in the morning light.
Lin Tian also smiled: “Good morning, Orihime. What’s going on?”
Inoue Orihime held out an exquisite lunch box with both hands: “I…I heard that you were going to report to the parliament today, so…I prepared some lunch.”
Her cheeks were slightly flushed and her eyes were a little shy, which made her even more beautiful.
8: In just one day! From a small soldier in the outer city to a popular figure in the parliament, he was wanted by the shadow organization (old version)
Lin Tian took the lunch box and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
“Thank you, Orihime.”
System prompts:
[Inoue Orihime’s family degree increased: 12/100]Inoue Orihime nodded happily: “You’re welcome! I have to go to the quest guild to take a quest today, so I might not be back until the evening.”
Lin Tian nodded gently: “Be careful, and contact me anytime if you encounter any difficulties.”
Watching Inoue Orihime leave, Lin Tian was thinking about today’s schedule.
Report to the parliament in the morning, go to the Red Leaf Pavilion for an appointment at noon, and try to practice your newly acquired abilities in the afternoon.
He first went to the parliament headquarters, which is located in the center of Midtown, with its magnificent golden buildings shining in the sun.
At the entrance of the parliament, two guards saw the silver badge on Lin Tian’s chest and immediately nodded respectfully to let him pass.
Lin Tian was secretly proud of himself. Yesterday he was just a nobody in the outer city area, but today he was able to enter and exit the parliament headquarters freely. His status was completely different.
At the registration desk, a blonde woman greeted him.
“Mr. Lin Tian, ​​welcome to join the ranks of trainee members of the parliament.”
She handed Lin Tian a document, “This is your authority card, mission manual, and training ground map.”
Lin Tian looked through the information and found that he had obtained the right to use the C-level training ground all day and the opportunity to use the B-level training ground three times a week.
This is very helpful for improving your strength!
“Thanks.”
Lin Tian said politely, “Do I need to start the mission immediately?”
The blonde woman shook her head. “New trainee members have three days to adapt. You can first get familiar with the environment and facilities of the parliament. After three days, you will need to start accepting missions.”
Just what Lin Tian wants!
This way he would have plenty of time to explore the secrets of the Shadow Organization.
After leaving the registration office, Lin Tian decided to visit the parliament headquarters first and familiarize himself with the environment.
In the magnificent hall, various anime characters come and go, some wearing uniform parliamentary uniforms, while others retain their costumes from the original works.
Lin Tian recognized several familiar characters——
Kakashi from Naruto talking to Kisuke Urahara from Bleach;
Killua from Hunter stands alone at the end of a corridor;
We even saw Robin from One Piece sitting in a corner reading a book.
This scene made Lin Tian’s heart surge.
Before traveling across time, he could only see these characters on the screen, but now he can be in the same room with them!
The morning passed quickly and it was almost noon. Lin Tian left the parliament headquarters early and went to Hongye Pavilion to keep an appointment.
The Red Leaf Pavilion is located on the back hill of the Parliament. A winding stone staircase leads to the top of the mountain. The red maple trees on both sides are as fiery as fire, which is a beautiful sight.
Lin Tian walked up the stone steps, observing the surroundings vigilantly.
[Hidden energy fluctuations detected in the distance]【Recommendation: Stay alert and be prepared for emergencies】
Lin Tian continued to move forward calmly, his right hand ready to activate the bone armor at any time.
After turning a corner, the Red Leaf Pavilion came into view.
The quaint pavilion sits on the edge of a cliff, overlooking the entire central city-state with a superb view.
Tsunade was already waiting there, with a pot of sake and two wine glasses in front of her.
She was wearing formal parliamentary attire today, with her long golden hair tied up, looking dignified and majestic, but still couldn’t conceal her unique charm of a mature woman.
“You’re here.”
Tsunade looked up and smiled.
Lin Tian walked into the pavilion and sat down cautiously opposite Tsunade.
“Thank you for your reminder and help about what happened last night.” Lin Tian said sincerely.
Tsunade poured a glass of wine and pushed it to Lin Tian: “Did the man in black come to you?”
Lin Tian nodded: “If it weren’t for the scroll you gave me, the situation might be even more troublesome.”
“They are from the Shadow Organization.” Tsunade took a sip of wine, her expression serious, “Your ability is too special and has attracted their attention.”
Lin Tian appeared calm on the surface, but he was tense inside.
special?
No one knows the existence of the system. The special thing that Tsunade mentioned must refer to the purity of the bone armor’s ability.
“What’s so special about my ability?” Lin Tian asked pretending to be confused.
Tsunade put down her wine glass and looked directly into Lin Tian’s eyes: “The bone transformation ability gained by ordinary people will carry the negative emotions and energy impurities of the user. But your bone armor is pure and flawless, just like… it was born with you.”
Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, as it turned out to be just as he had expected.
The abilities collected by the system have been purified and are naturally different from ordinary acquired abilities.
“Maybe it’s my talent.” Lin Tian said with a smile.
Tsunade shook her head, “Not only that. Your learning speed and adaptability are far beyond that of ordinary people. During the trials, you were able to find a countermeasure even though it was your first time facing the Byakugan. You were also able to respond flexibly when facing Ikkaku’s brute force.”
She was silent for a moment, then continued, “This learning ability is… extraordinary.”
Lin Tian was secretly delighted, as this was also the benefit of the system – analyzing the opponent’s capabilities and providing the best countermeasures.
But he remained modest on the surface: “I’m just a good observer.”
Tsunade seemed to accept this explanation and did not ask any further questions.
“In any case, you have become the target of the Shadow Organization.” She said seriously, “They will keep testing you until they are sure of the nature of your abilities, and then…”
“Then?”
“Either recruit or destroy.” Tsunade said coldly.
Lin Tian thought for a moment: “Then what should I do?”
9: Just after joining Tsunade’s camp, Karin shows up with her Sharingan and wants to dissect the Pure Bone Armor! Horror (old version)
Tsunade stood up, walked to the edge of the pavilion, and looked towards the city-state in the distance.
“Join my camp.” She turned around, her eyes burning. “I have formed a secret alliance with some like-minded people to fight against the extreme behavior of the Shadow Organization.”
Lin Tian was delighted, this was exactly what he wanted!
By joining Tsunade’s alliance, you can not only get protection, but also come into contact with more powerful people and collect more abilities!
“I’m in,” he said decisively.
Tsunade nodded with satisfaction and took out a small box from her arms.
“First, put this on.” She opened the box, revealing a delicate silver earring. “This can block the detection of the Shadow Organization.”
Lin Tian took the earrings and felt the strange energy contained in them.
[Special item detected: shielding earrings][Function: Hide some energy fluctuations and reduce the chance of being detected]【Side effects: None】
Lin Tian immediately put on the earrings and felt a cool energy enveloping him.
“Thank you, is there anything else I should know?”
Tsunade sat back in her seat, her expression serious, “The identity of the leader of the Shadow Organization remains a mystery, but I suspect it is some powerful person from the Naruto world.”
Lin Tian’s heart moved, and he remembered the purple eyes of the man in black last night.
“Could it be Orochimaru?” he asked tentatively.
Tsunade’s eyes flashed with surprise: “Why did you think of him?”
Lin Tian explained: “The man in black last night had purple eyes, a bit like Orochimaru.”
Tsunade nodded thoughtfully: “It’s possible. Orochimaru has always been interested in special abilities, and he is indeed one of the important members of the Shadow Organization.”
She suddenly looked behind Lin Tian alertly: “Someone is coming!”
Lin Tian turned around suddenly and saw a figure walking out from the bushes.
She was a tall woman with long red hair that shone like flames in the sun. She was wearing a black tight combat suit and had a short knife on her waist.
The most eye-catching thing is her eyes – the right eye is ordinary brown, but the left eye is a blood-red Sharingan!
“Karin!” Tsunade called out the other person’s name in surprise, “Why are you here?”
The red-haired woman named Karin sneered, “Of course I came here to follow your little pet.”
Her eyes fell on Lin Tian with a hint of curiosity and scrutiny.
“Is this the new guy who caused such a commotion? He doesn’t look that great.”
Lin Tian did not get angry because of the other party’s provocation. Instead, he carefully observed the strong man who suddenly appeared.
Karin in “Naruto”, a subordinate of Orochimaru, possesses special perception and healing abilities.
But Karin in the original work does not have the Sharingan, and the setting of this world is obviously different.
Tsunade stood up and stood in front of Lin Tian: “Karin, what do you want to do?”
Karin shook her head gently: “Don’t be nervous, I just came to take a look. After all, a newcomer who can attract the attention of Lord Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi at the same time is very interesting.”
Lin Tian was shocked.
Uchiha Itachi? One of the most mysterious and powerful characters in Naruto, an S-rank rebel ninja and a master of the Sharingan!
He actually became interested in me?
This is both a crisis and an opportunity!
Lin Tian said calmly: “How much do you know about me?”
Karin smiled, with a hint of mystery in her smile: “That’s enough to make me interested in you.”
She suddenly pulled out a dagger from her waist, but had no intention of attacking, she just played with it in her hand.
“I heard that your bone armor ability is very special. Why don’t you let me see it?”
Lin Tian did not respond immediately, but looked to Tsunade, seeking her advice.
Tsunade nodded slightly, indicating that she could show it.
Lin Tian then stood up and slowly activated the bone armor ability.
The white bone armor began to spread from the arms, quickly covering the entire body, emitting a silvery-white glow in the sunlight.
Karin’s Sharingan immediately turned, carefully observing every detail of the bone armor.
“It’s so…pure.” She said softly, with surprise in her tone, “Not a trace of impurities, just like it was formed naturally.”
Lin Tian smiled secretly in his heart, this was all thanks to the system.
When ordinary collectors directly acquire abilities, they will certainly contain various impurities, but the abilities collected by the system have been purified and optimized, and are naturally pure and flawless.
Xianglin suddenly put away her dagger and walked towards Lin Tian.
“Let me take a closer look.”
Lin Tian did not retreat and allowed Xianglin to approach.
Even if the opponent was an A-level expert, with Tsunade present, she didn’t dare to act rashly.
Xiang Lin stretched out her hand and gently touched Lin Tian’s bone armor, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
“Warmth… the temperature of life. Ordinary bone formation abilities are cold, but yours…”
She suddenly withdrew her hand, took a few steps back, and looked at Lin Tian with a complicated expression.
“Interesting. Very interesting.”
Tsunade asked warily, “What exactly do you want to do, Karin?”
10: Shocked! C-rank fights A-rank training ground, activates bone armor and becomes crazy strong (old version)
Karin smiled and said, “Just passing on a message.”
She looked at Lin Tian, ​​and her voice suddenly became serious: “Three days later, there will be an underground auction in the seventh district in the west of the city. There is an item that may be very helpful to your ability.”
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows: “What item?”
“The fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask,” Karin said, “are said to greatly enhance bone formation abilities.”
Lin Tian’s heart was moved. Arrancar King? Is he a character from Bleach?
The system suddenly prompts:
[Key intelligence detected][Arrancar King Mask Fragment: Possibly a Collection Target]【Suggestion: Get more information】
“Why are you telling me this?” Lin Tian asked cautiously.
Karin smiled mysteriously: “Because many people are interested in you, including me. If you become stronger, things will be more interesting, right?”
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
“Wait.” Lin Tian stopped her, “What qualifications do you need to participate in that auction?”
Without even turning her head, Karin said, “B-rank or above, or a council trainee badge. You already have the qualifications.”
Her figure quickly disappeared into the woods, leaving only one sentence:
“I look forward to your performance, bone armor boy.”
Tsunade frowned, clearly concerned about Karin’s appearance.
“Lin Tian, ​​you can’t go to that auction.”
Lin Tian asked in confusion: “Why?”
Tsunade’s eyes flashed with worry: “That is a trap set by the Shadow Organization. They plan to lure those with special abilities at the auction and then capture them all in one fell swoop.”
Lin Tian was thoughtful. It seemed that Xianglin’s reminder was not well-intentioned.
“Thank you for your warning. I will be careful.”
Tsunade nodded, “Just focus on improving your strength for the next few days. Once the rest of the alliance arrives, I will formally introduce you to each other.”
She took out a card from her bosom: “This is a pass to the A-level training ground. It can greatly accelerate your strength improvement.”
Lin Tian took the card and was delighted.
A-level training grounds are usually only open to those with A-level strength. With his current C-level strength, he can get the right to use it, which is a huge benefit!
[Tsunade’s family degree increased: 40/100]Lin Tian carefully put the card away: “Thank you for your help.”
Tsunade stood up and prepared to leave: “Your special training will begin tomorrow. Get familiar with the training ground today. Remember, wear shielding earrings and be careful of the Shadow Organization’s detection.”
Lin Tian nodded in greeting and watched Tsunade leave.
[Mission Update: Uncover the Secrets of the Shadow Organization][New clues: 1. The Shadow Organization may be related to Orochimaru; 2. An underground auction will be held in the seventh district in the west of the city in three days; 3. The fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask][Suggested action: Explore the A-level training ground and improve your strength]Lin Tian took a deep breath and looked at the city in the distance.
In just two days, he went from an ordinary time traveler to an apprentice member of the parliament, and was also involved in the contest between the Shadow Organization and Tsunade’s alliance.
This change is both exciting and dangerous, but for Lin Tian, ​​who possesses a god-level collection system, every crisis is an opportunity to collect power!
“Let’s go to the A-level training ground first.” Lin Tian said to himself.
After leaving the Red Leaf Pavilion, Lin Tian headed straight for the advanced training facilities in the central city.
The training ground is a grand circular building divided into several areas corresponding to different levels of strength.
Lin Tian showed the pass given by Tsunade, and the administrator looked at him in shock.
“A-level training area? Are you sure?” the administrator asked doubtfully, “The pressure and energy concentration there are likely to injure C-level ability users.”
Lin Tian nodded confidently: “Lady Tsunade approved it personally.”
Hearing Tsunade’s name, the administrator no longer questioned and led Lin Tian through a long corridor.
“The A-level training area has a special energy barrier. It is difficult for ordinary C-level ability users to withstand the pressure there.” The administrator warned.
Lin Tian was already prepared: “I will be careful.”
Passing through the heavy metal door, Lin Tian entered the A-level training area.
A powerful pressure instantly enveloped my whole body, as if I was carrying a heavy burden.
[High-intensity energy field detected][Current tolerance: 35%][Suggestion: Train carefully and adapt to stress]Lin Tian took a deep breath and activated the bone armor ability.
The white bone armor covered the whole body, and the feeling of pressure was immediately relieved a lot.
He began to try to move, attack and defend under pressure.
Every movement was ten times more difficult than usual, but he could feel his muscles and abilities rapidly adapting and strengthening.
[Physical fitness is being strengthened][Bone armor ability proficiency is improving][Continue training to gain additional experience points]Lin Tian showed a satisfied smile. The effect of this training was far beyond his expectations!
Just as he was concentrating on training, he suddenly felt a familiar breath approaching.
Lin Tian turned around and saw a tall figure standing at the entrance of the training area – Hyuga Hinata!
She was wearing a tight training suit today and her long hair was tied up, which made her look more heroic.
The slim-fitting training suit outlines her graceful curves, and paired with her pure white eyes, she looks both heroic and feminine.
“Mr. Lin Tian?”
Hinata exclaimed in surprise, “Why are you in the A-rank training area?”
11: Hyuga Hinata’s heart is moved, the truth behind the rapid growth of the clan is… (Old version)
Lin Tian put away his bone armor and walked towards Hinata with a smile:
“Tsunade-sama gave me a special pass. What about you?”
Hinata lowered her head slightly, looking a little shy:
“My…family has special permissions to use the training areas for all levels.”
Lin Tian then remembered that the Hyuga family was a prominent family in the Naruto world and naturally had privileges in the anime continent.
“That’s great, we can train together.” Lin Tian said sincerely.
Hinata’s eyes flashed with surprise: “You…you don’t mind me disturbing you?”
Lin Tian shook his head: “Of course not. I was deeply impressed by your eye roll during the selection competition yesterday. It is my honor to train with you.”
Hinata’s cheeks blushed slightly, and her fingertips touched lightly, showing her unique shy attitude.
“Actually… I have some moves I’d like to learn from you.” She mustered up the courage to say, “Your bone armor is very good at defense, but my soft fist lacks effective defense.”
Lin Tian nodded: “I am happy to help. How about this, we can teach each other? You teach me how to deal with the white eyes, and I will teach you the defense principle of bone armor.”
Hinata’s eyes lit up: “Great! Thank you, Mr. Lin Tian!”
[Hyuga Hinata’s family degree increased: 27/100]For the next two hours, the two guided each other and gained something from each other.
Hinata analyzed in detail the weaknesses and blind spots of the Byakugan.
Lin Tian shared the key to bone armor defense – concentrating energy on the impact point to form instant hardening.
Although bone armor abilities cannot be taught, the principles of defense are universal.
Hinata quickly mastered this technique and incorporated it into her soft fist defense with remarkable results.
“Mr. Lin Tian has a strong learning ability!” Hinata exclaimed, “You have already found all the weaknesses of the Byakugan.”
Lin Tian smiled modestly: “Thanks to your patient guidance.”
In fact, the system is constantly analyzing Hinata’s movement patterns and providing the best countermeasures, which is the real reason for his rapid progress.
[Hyuga Hinata’s family degree increased: 30/100][New skill acquired: White Eye Weakness Insight (passive skill)]Lin Tian was delighted that he had acquired a new skill!
This is a passive skill automatically generated by the system, formed through a deep understanding of the Byakugan’s weaknesses.
After the training, the two sat in the rest area exhausted.
Hinata wiped the sweat from her forehead, and a few strands of wet hair stuck to her smooth cheeks, adding to her charming look.
“Mr. Lin Tian…” She hesitated for a moment and asked softly, “Can we still train together tomorrow?”
Lin Tian smiled and nodded: “Of course, I also enjoy training with you.”
Hinata immediately smiled brilliantly, her eyes as charming as two bright moons.
“Then…see you here tomorrow morning at nine?”
Lin Tian readily agreed: “It’s a deal.”
[Hyuga Hinata’s family degree increased: 32/100]After saying goodbye to Hinata, Lin Tian decided to go to the Wanjie Canteen for dinner to reward himself for his hard training.
Wanjie Canteen is located in the center of Midtown and is a gorgeous building that combines multiple styles.
When you open the door, a rich aroma hits you in the face, increasing your appetite.
“Welcome!” Several waiters in uniform greeted in unison.
Lin Tian chose a seat by the window and ordered a few signature dishes.
After a while, a blonde woman came over with a tray.
Lin Tian looked up and found it was Erina Nakiri.
She has long golden hair, is noble and elegant, and exudes the unique temperament of the upper class in her every move.
She was wearing a thin white chef’s coat today with a slightly open neckline, revealing her collarbone line vaguely. She looked professional while adding a bit of sexy charm.
“Are you the new trainee member?” Erina put down the plate gracefully, her voice as sweet as a clear spring.
Lin Tian was a little surprised: “You know me?”
Erina chuckled, “The whole Midtown area is talking about you. It’s not common for a newcomer to defeat Ikkaku and Hinata.”
She looked at Lin Tian for a moment, as if evaluating something.
“Moreover, your temperament is different. Unlike ordinary newcomers, you are not reckless and ignorant. Instead, you are calm and reserved, like a veteran who has experienced countless battles.”
Lin Tian was shocked. He didn’t expect that this genius in the food industry was so perceptive.
“Maybe it’s because I’ve been through a lot of tough situations,” he answered vaguely.
Erina didn’t ask further, but pointed to the plate: “This is my special bone marrow strengthening soup, which has a special effect on bone armor users. Want to try it?”
Lin Tian looked at the plate in surprise. It was a bowl of seemingly ordinary clear soup, but it exuded an enticing aroma.
He took a careful sip and immediately felt a warm energy flowing through his body, especially his bones, which seemed to be strengthened in some way.
[Special food effect detected][Gain temporary attribute bonus: Bone armor hardness +10%, lasts for 4 hours][Erina Nakiri’s family degree increased: 18/100]Lin Tian looked at Erina in amazement: “This is amazing! I feel that the bone armor’s ability has been enhanced.”
Erina nodded with satisfaction. “I have studied the physical characteristics of various people with special abilities and customized the most suitable dishes for them. It seems to work for you too.”
She gathered her long golden hair gracefully and said, “If you are interested, you can always come and taste my other special dishes.”
After saying that, she turned and left, leaving behind a faint fragrance and Lin Tian’s reverie.
Lin Tian savored the food carefully, thinking about what he had gained today.
Tsunade’s alliance, Karin’s warning, Hinata’s training, Erina’s special dishes
In just one day, he gained various opportunities and information, and more importantly, the family degrees of the four beauties were improved!
After the meal, Lin Tian was about to leave when he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking into the cafeteria—Inoue Orihime!
She seemed to have just completed a task, her face was tired, but she still maintained a gentle smile.
Lin Tian immediately went over to her and said, “Orihime, is the mission over?”
When Inoue Orihime saw Lin Tian, ​​her eyes lit up: “Mr. Lin Tian! Are you eating here too?”
12: What kind of Shura field is this? Orihime is on the front foot and Itachi is on the back foot! (Old version)
Lin Tian nodded: “Just finished training, come to have dinner. What about you? Did the mission go well?”
Inoue Orihime smiled tiredly: “Well, I helped a group of injured newcomers recover. They were seriously injured and it consumed a lot of my energy.”
Lin Tian said with concern: “Then you need to rest well. How about I have dinner with you?”
Inoue Orihime nodded in surprise: “Really? That’s great!”
The two found a quiet corner and sat down, and Lin Tian considerately ordered some nourishing meals for Orihime.
“By the way, Orihime, do you know the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask?” Lin Tian asked casually.
Inoue Orihime looked at him in surprise: “How could Lin Tianjun know this? That is a very dangerous item!”
Lin Tian pretended to be curious: “I heard someone mention it today and I thought it was very interesting. Is there anything special about it?”
Inoue Orihime lowered her voice and said, “It is said that the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask can greatly enhance the Arrancar’s ability, but the cost is that the user may have his consciousness eroded.”
She looked at Lin Tian worriedly: “You don’t want that thing, do you? It’s too dangerous!”
Lin Tian quickly shook his head: “Of course not, I’m just curious. Thank you for telling me this, I will stay away from such dangerous items.”
[Inoue Orihime’s family degree increased: 15/100]After the meal, Lin Tian escorted Inoue Orihime back to the hotel.
“Thank you for having dinner with me, Lin Tianjun.” Inoue Orihime stood in front of the door and said softly.
The moonlight shines on her, outlining her slender figure, her long hair like a waterfall, her eyes like stars, she is so beautiful that it is breathtaking.
Lin Tian smiled: “You’re welcome, I really enjoy my time with you.”
Inoue Orihime’s cheeks blushed slightly, and she whispered, “Good night, Lin Tianjun.”
After watching Zhiji enter the room, Lin Tian returned to his room.
After washing up, he sat on the bed and opened the system interface to check today’s harvest.
[System Progress: 62/100][Newly acquired ability: White Eye Weakness Insight (Passive Skill)][Family level improvement: Inoue Orihime (15/100), Nakiri Erina (18/100), Tsunade (40/100), Hyuga Hinata (32/100)][Mission Progress: Uncover the Secrets of the Shadow Organization (20%)]Great results!
Lin Tian closed his eyes with satisfaction and thought about tomorrow’s plan.
Train with Hinata in the morning, explore Midtown in the afternoon to gather more information, and then go to the A-level training ground to improve your strength in the evening.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, there was a slight noise outside the window!
Lin Tian became alert instantly, but pretended to be asleep and observed secretly.
The window was gently pushed open, and a black shadow flashed in silently.
The system immediately warns:
[Danger! S-level energy fluctuation detected! ][Suggestion: Respond with caution]S-level!
It’s one level higher than last night’s A level!
Lin Tian’s heart was shaken, but he remained calm on the surface, waiting for the best opportunity.
The shadow moved slowly across the room and finally stopped beside the bed.
Under the moonlight, Lin Tian finally saw the face of the person who came – Uchiha Itachi!
Those iconic facial lines, stern expression, and calm eyes make him undoubtedly one of the most mysterious and powerful characters in the Naruto world!
Lin Tian’s heart beat faster, but he remained calm.
This is a great collecting opportunity!
However, just when Lin Tian was about to pretend to wake up, Uchiha Itachi spoke:
“No need to pretend, Lin Tian. I know you are awake.”
The voice was calm, without any emotion.
Lin Tian had no choice but to open his eyes and sit up: “Uchiha Itachi, the legendary S-rank rebel ninja. Why did you come to see me?”
Itachi looked at Lin Tian expressionlessly: “I am very curious about you.”
Lin Tian stood up, alert: “What are you curious about?”
Itachi said slowly: “I’m curious as to how a C-rank ability user could attract the attention of so many powerful people. Tsunade, Orochimaru, Karin… and even me.”
Lin Tian became even more alert in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface: “Maybe it’s because my bone armor has a special ability.”
Itachi shook his head slightly, “No, it’s not just about your abilities. It’s your entire being… that’s special.”
He took a step forward, and Lin Tian immediately activated the bone armor defense.
Itachi did not move closer, but stayed where he was.
“Don’t worry, I’m not here to fight. Instead, I’m here to warn you.”
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows: “Warning about what?”
Itachi’s eyes were sharp: “Don’t go to the auction in three days. It’s a trap.”
Lin Tian was shocked. This was the second warning!
Itachi continued, “There are two forces fighting for you now. One is the alliance headed by Tsunade, and the other is the shadow organization headed by Orochimaru.”
He turned and walked towards the window: “The choice is yours, but remember, don’t trust anyone easily.”
Lin Tian asked: “Including you?”
Itachi turned around, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: “Especially me.”
After saying this, his body turned into a flock of crows and flew away into the night.
Lin Tian stood there in a daze, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
[Residual energy of Uchiha Itachi detected]【Do you want to try to collect? 】
[Warning: The success rate is extremely low and may lead to unpredictable consequences]Even if there is only a slight chance, it’s worth a try!
The system interface is updated quickly:
【Collection successful! 】
[Obtained: Uchiha Itachi Energy Fragment (1/100)][This ability is too powerful and cannot be previewed at the moment]【Continue collecting to unlock more information】
Lin Tian was very excited!
Although it is only 1/100, this is a fragment of the ability of an S-level strong man!
If he can collect all 100 pieces, his strength will see a qualitative leap!
However, what he didn’t know was that on a tall tower in the distance, a pair of eyes were watching all this.
It was a pair of strange reincarnation eyes, emitting a heart-pounding purple light.
“Interesting, very interesting.” A deep voice sounded in the darkness.
13: Beautiful girl Orihime makes lunch, Lin Tian explores the secret (old version)
In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shone into the room. Lin Tian stretched and opened his eyes.
Uchiha Itachi’s visit last night is still lingering in my mind, especially the sentence “the gears of fate have begun to turn”, which is full of mystery.
However, for Lin Tian, ​​the most important gain was the energy fragments collected from Itachi.
“Even if it’s only 1/100 of an S-class warrior’s ability, it’s still priceless.”
Lin Tian opened the system interface with satisfaction:
[System Progress: 64/100][White Eye Weakness Insight (Passive Skill)][Collection Progress: Uchiha Itachi Energy Fragment (1/100)]Lin Tian tried to activate the chakra perception ability, and the system prompt still showed that Tsunade’s family degree needed to reach 50 points.
“It’s only 10 points left, we have to find a way to improve it.”
After washing up, Lin Tian changed into a neat training suit and prepared to go to the training appointment with Hinata.
When I opened the door, I was surprised to find Inoue Orihime already waiting at the door with a lunch box in her hand.
“Lin Tianjun, good morning!” She greeted with a smile, her cheeks slightly red, “I…I made a breakfast lunch, do you want to eat with me?”
Lin Tian’s eyes lit up, this was a classic youth plot in anime – a loving bento made by a beautiful girl herself!
“Of course!” He agreed readily, secretly delighted.
The two came to the small garden in the backyard of the inn and sat at a stone table.
Orihime opened the bento box, which contained neatly arranged exquisite rice balls, tamagoyaki, and several side dishes.
“It looks so delicious!” Lin Tian exclaimed sincerely.
It’s not just the food itself, but also because it was made by Orihime Inoue herself, the tenderness and thoughtfulness are touching.
“Want to try it?” Orihime looked at him expectantly.
Lin Tian picked up a rice ball and took a bite, and suddenly a warm feeling flowed through his body.
[Gain temporary attribute bonus: Physical strength recovery speed +20%, lasts for 4 hours][Inoue Orihime’s family degree increased: 18/100]Lin Tian looked at Zhiji in surprise: “It’s so delicious! And I feel very energetic.”
Orihime smiled happily, “Great! I added some special healing herbs to help restore your strength.”
While eating, Lin Tian chatted with Zhiji and found that this seemingly simple girl actually knew a lot of secrets of the city-state.
“Orihime, have you heard about the conflict between the Parliament and the Shadow Organization?” Lin Tian asked tentatively.
Orihime’s expression hardened, and she lowered her voice: “This is a taboo topic…but I trust Lin Tianjun.”
She looked around and confirmed that there was no one around, then continued, “The Shadow Organization was originally a secret department of the parliament, responsible for handling some shady tasks. Later, it split internally, and some people left the parliament and have been operating in secret ever since.”
Lin Tian was surprised at Zhiji’s knowledge: “How do you know all this?”
Orihime sighed, “I once… accidentally saved a wounded Shadow member. He told me something and then disappeared.”
This news made Lin Tian’s heart move. It seems that Inoue Orihime’s background is not simple either.
“Be careful, knowing too much about these things could be dangerous.” Lin Tian said with concern.
Orihime nodded touchedly: “Thank you for your concern, Lin Tianjun. I…I have always hoped to help you.”
[Inoue Orihime’s family degree increased: 20/100]After breakfast, Lin Tian said goodbye to Orihime and went to the training ground to meet Hinata.
On the way, he pondered the information Orihime had revealed.
The Shadow Organization was originally part of the Council, which is consistent with what Tsunade said.
But why the split? Who is in control?
With these questions in mind, Lin Tian came to the A-level training ground.
Hinata was already waiting there. Today she was wearing a slim lavender combat suit with her hair tied up high, looking very heroic.
At the same time, the tight combat suit perfectly outlines her slim figure, long legs and graceful waistline, exuding youthful vitality in the sun.
“Good morning, Mr. Lin Tian!” She greeted politely, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.
Lin Tian smiled and responded: “Good morning, Hinata. Will you continue yesterday’s training today?”
Hinata nodded, then said shyly: “I…I practiced according to the defense principles you taught me, and I have some experience.”
Lin Tian became interested: “Then show it to me.”
Hinata nodded and assumed the soft fist starting stance.
“Please attack me, Mr. Lin Tian.”
14: Explosion! The situation suddenly changed, and Elsa’s red flame armor was hard to fight (old version)
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, then activated his bone armor, and his right arm turned into a bone blade, stabbing towards Hinata!
Of course, he controlled the strength and speed so as not to really hurt Hinata.
Surprisingly, Hinata did not dodge, but at the moment when the bone blade was about to touch her, she quickly formed seals with her hands, and chakra instantly formed a thin protective film at the impact point!
The bone blade hit the protective membrane, making a crisp sound, but failed to break through the defense!
“Great!” Lin Tian praised sincerely, “You have completely mastered the essentials!”
Hinata had a happy smile on her face and a confident gleam in her eyes.
“Thanks to Mr. Lin Tian’s guidance. This defensive method is perfectly matched with the soft fist, and can protect yourself while attacking.”
Lin Tian nodded in affirmation: “Your comprehension ability is very strong, far beyond that of ordinary people.”
Hinata lowered her head shyly: “Mr. Lin Tian, ​​thank you for the compliment…”
[Hyuga Hinata’s family degree increased: 35/100]The two began today’s training, guiding each other and making progress together.
Lin Tian took the opportunity to ask Hinata for more knowledge about the Byakugan. He not only strengthened his Byakugan’s weakness-detecting skills, but also learned how to deal with the various changes in the soft fist.
[Baiyan Weakness Insight Skill Improvement: LV.1→LV.2][New skill acquired: Soft Fist Countermeasure (passive skill)]Just as the two were concentrating on training, several figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the training ground.
“There’s someone here, what a coincidence.”
Lin Tian turned around and saw three young women walking in.
The leader was a red-haired girl with a hot body, wearing a tight black combat suit and a long sword on her waist.
She was followed by two women.
One with blue hair, holding a spear;
A man with green hair and a bow and arrow.
Lin Tian recognized them at a glance—Elsa Scarlet and her friends Juvia and Bisca from “Fairy Tail”!
Erza approached, looking at Lin Tian and Hinata curiously.
“Are you new here? I haven’t seen you before.”
Hinata seemed to know Erza and saluted respectfully: “Lady Erza, long time no see.”
Erza nodded and said, “Hinata, your soft fist seems to have undergone new changes.”
She turned her gaze to Lin Tian, ​​a trace of scrutiny flashing in her eyes: “Who is this…?”
Lin Tian introduced himself politely: “Lin Tian, ​​a new trainee member of the parliament.”
Elsa’s eyes flashed with surprise: “It turns out to be you, the champion of the selection competition.”
She looked Lin Tian up and down, her eyes showing more interest: “I heard that your bone armor ability is very special, can we spar with each other?”
Lin Tian’s mind moved. This was a good opportunity to collect abilities!
In Fairy Tail, Erza’s reloading ability is extremely powerful, and if you can collect it, it will be a great help.
“It’s my honor.” Lin Tian agreed with a smile.
Hinata looked at Lin Tian worriedly: “Be careful, Lady Erza is an A-level expert.”
Elsa chuckled: “Don’t worry, I will control the strength.”
She walked to the center of the training ground, a golden glow emanating from her body.
“Reinstall Magic: Wheel of Heaven!”
When the light faded, Elsa had changed into a gorgeous silver armor, holding two silver-white swords, with an astonishing momentum!
Lin Tian took a deep breath, and his entire body was instantly covered with bone armor, and his arms turned into sharp bone blades.
The system immediately analyzes Elsa’s abilities and weaknesses and provides the best countermeasures.
“Please give me your advice!” Lin Tian said politely, and rushed forward quickly!
Elsa was not to be outdone, waving her two swords and heading towards Lin Tian!
The two men fought each other instantly, and the bone blade and the long sword collided, making a crisp metal collision sound!
In the training ground, two figures moved quickly, switching between offense and defense, which was a spectacular scene.
Although Lin Tian is not as strong as Elsa, he can actually be on par with her thanks to the battle analysis and Byakugan weakness insight skills provided by the system!
Elsa became more and more surprised as the battle went on, and the interest in her eyes grew stronger and stronger.
“Not bad! Let’s try this again!”
She changed her equipment again, changing into a set of red flame armor, which greatly increased her attack power!
Lin Tian was not in a hurry. He quickly adjusted his bone armor to provide wider coverage and stronger defense.
The two had another fierce confrontation, each showing off their strengths.
A quarter of an hour later, Elsa stopped on her own initiative with an appreciative smile on her face.
“Your strength is not just C-level, it’s at least B-level.”
Lin Tian said modestly: “Thanks to the system… ahem, thanks to the hard training of the system in normal times.”
Elsa put away her armor, returned to her normal clothes, and extended her hand to Lin Tian: “Nice to meet you, Lin Tian. You have extraordinary potential.”
Lin Tian shook hands with her and took the opportunity to make contact. The system immediately prompted:
[Elsa Scarlet Energy Collection: 1/80][Reinstall Magic: Basic Preview Unlock][This ability allows the user to store and quickly switch between different equipment, each with specific abilities]Lin Tian was overjoyed as he had collected another powerful ability!
Elsa suddenly thought of something and took out a card from her pocket.
15: Jue Jue Zi! Lin Tian and Tsunade confront each other, and the family degree reaches a new high (old version)
“I almost forgot about the main thing. The parliament issued a special reward today, and I thought you might be interested.”
Lin Tian took the card, which read:
[Special Bounty: Retrieval of the Arrancar King’s Mask Fragments][Mission level: A-level][Mission content: In three days, someone will auction off the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask at an underground auction. The Council offers a reward of 1 million gold coins to recover the item.][Mission Risk: Very High]【Registration method: Parliament Mission Hall】
Isn’t this the auction that Xianglin mentioned?
Lin Tian pretended to be surprised: “Fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask? What is that?”
Erza explained: “The Arrancar King is a super being in the world of Bleach. The fragments of his mask are said to greatly enhance the abilities of the Arrancar.”
She looked at Lin Tian meaningfully: “Considering your bone armor ability is related to the Arrancar, this mission is perfect for you.”
Lin Tian remembered Tsunade and Itachi’s warnings and became alert.
“Why was this reward announced so suddenly?”
Elsa shrugged. “Who knows? The decisions of the Council are always mysterious. However, a reward of 1 million gold coins is not common.”
She checked the time and said, “We still have training to do, so we won’t bother you. If you’re interested in the bounty, please sign up as soon as possible. The number of spots is limited.”
After saying that, Erza left the training ground with her two companions.
Hinata walked up to Lin Tian and said worriedly, “Mr. Lin Tian, ​​that auction may be very dangerous.”
Lin Tian nodded: “I know, Lady Tsunade has already reminded me.”
Hinata looked at him in surprise, “Lady Tsunade? You know her?”
Lin Tian briefly explained his relationship with Tsunade, and Hinata showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
“No wonder you were able to enter the A-level training area…it turned out to be arranged by Lady Tsunade.”
She suddenly thought of something, and after hesitating for a moment, she said, “Mr. Lin Tian, ​​if you decide to accept this mission… I am willing to assist you.”
Lin Tian looked at her in surprise: “This is too dangerous, I can’t let you take the risk.”
Hinata shook her head firmly: “My Byakugan can detect danger in advance and provide you with strong support. And…”
Her voice became soft: “I…I want to help Mr. Lin Tian.”
[Hyuga Hinata’s family degree increased: 38/100]Lin Tian felt warm in his heart. This girl who looked weak but was strong at heart was willing to take risks for him.
“Thank you, Hinata. But I need to gather more information before I make a decision.”
The two continued training for a while, then said goodbye.
Lin Tian decided to find Tsunade first to learn more about the bounty.
Arriving at the parliament headquarters, Lin Tian asked about Tsunade’s whereabouts and was told that she was in the tea room in the back garden of the headquarters.
Passing through the quiet corridor, Lin Tian came to an elegant tea room.
Pushing open the door, he saw Tsunade sipping tea alone, the sunlight shining through the window onto her, giving her a golden halo.
Tsunade changed into casual clothes today. The light green kimono was loosely wrapped around her body with the neckline open, revealing her proud curves.
Her long golden hair falls on her shoulders, complementing the light green of her kimono, showing the unique charm of a mature woman.
“You’ve come just in time,” Tsunade said without even looking up, “I was just about to talk to you.”
Lin Tian walked into the tea room, closed the door, and sat opposite Tsunade.
“Is it about the bounty for the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask?”
Tsunade looked up at him, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: “Did the news spread so quickly?”
Lin Tian explained: “Elsa just told me at the training ground. The reward of 1 million gold coins caught my attention.”
Tsunade put down her teacup, her expression serious: “We didn’t post that bounty.”
Lin Tian was surprised: “Isn’t it released by the parliament?”
Tsunade shook her head: “It was released privately by a faction within the council. I suspect it was a cover-up by the Shadow Organization to lure you into the trap.”
Lin Tian’s heart was filled with alarm: “So Karin and Elsa are both members of the Shadow Organization?”
Tsunade thought for a moment: “Karin is definitely right, she is Orochimaru’s confidant. It’s hard to say about Erza, she may just be used.”
She looked directly at Lin Tian: “No matter what, you can’t go to that auction. It’s too dangerous.”
Lin Tian had other plans in mind.
If this was a trap set by the Shadow Organization, then it would be a good opportunity to get close to strong men like Orochimaru and collect more energy fragments.
Besides, the fragment of the Arrancar King’s mask itself is a tempting target.
“If we don’t go, won’t the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask fall into the hands of the Shadow Organization?” Lin Tian asked tentatively.
Tsunade frowned: “That item is indeed dangerous, but compared with an item and your safety, it is self-evident which is more important.”
She suddenly reached out and gently held Lin Tian’s wrist, with concern in her tone.
“Promise me you won’t take the risk.”
Tsunade’s hands were warm and strong, and the unique body temperature and breath of a mature woman hit Lin Tian’s face, making his heart beat faster.
[Tsunade’s family degree increased: 43/100]16: Big Crisis! Erina is so tempting to get the mask fragments (old version)
Lin Tian pretended to think for a moment, and finally nodded: “I understand, I won’t go.”
Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew her hand: “A wise choice.”
She stood up and took a small bottle from the cupboard.
“This is a Bingliang Pill. It can quickly restore your strength and Chakla in times of crisis. Take it, in case of emergency.”
Lin Tian took the small bottle and felt the powerful energy contained in it.
[Obtain special item: Advanced Bingliang Pills x 5][Effect: Immediately restore 50% of physical strength and energy, and maintain high-intensity combat state for 1 hour][Tsunade’s family degree increased: 45/100]Lin Tian said gratefully: “Thank you for your concern and help.”
Tsunade smiled slightly: “Be careful, the situation in the city-state is unstable recently, and the shadow organization is active frequently.”
She looked out the window and said, “There will be an exchange meeting at the training ground at noon. All trainee members will attend. You can go and have a look and meet more companions.”
Lin Tian nodded in agreement, then said goodbye and left.
Walking out of the parliament headquarters, Lin Tian pondered in his heart.
To go or not to go?
This is a problem.
On the one hand, the auction is very likely to be a trap;
On the other hand, there are gathering abilities and the chance to obtain fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask.
“We need to be more fully prepared before we can make a decision.”
Lin Tian decided to go to the exchange meeting first to see if he could collect more information.
At noon, Lin Tian arrived at the training ground hall and found that dozens of young men and women had gathered there, most of them were trainee members or new members.
They chatted in groups of three or five, exchanging experiences, and the atmosphere was lively.
As soon as Lin Tian entered the hall, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.
“Look, it’s him! The champion of the selection competition!” someone whispered.
Lin Tian kept smiling and walked towards the center of the crowd neither humbly nor arrogantly. There was a simple stage set up there, and it seemed that some event was going to be held.
In the crowd, a blonde woman in a white chef’s uniform waved at him—Erina Nakiri!
Lin Tian walked over and found that there were several women around Erina, all of whom were beautiful characters from various worlds.
“Lin Tian, ​​you’ve come just in time.” Erina nodded to him gracefully, “I’ll introduce you to some friends.”
Lin Tian quickly got to know the three people through introductions.
Mikasa Ackerman in “The Great Blade of Shinki”.
Yaoimo from My Hero Academia.
And Shinobu Kocho from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
The three beauties each have their own characteristics:
Mikasa is taciturn and has a cold temperament. She has black hair, black eyes, and a slender figure. A red scarf highlights her cold and elegant temperament.
Bawanwan is lively and cheerful, with green hair and blue eyes, a hot body and a smile as warm as the spring breeze.
Butterfly Shinobu is as gentle as water, with purple hair styled as butterfly wings, deep eyes, elegant manners, and exuding a faint medicinal fragrance.
Lin Tian politely greeted the three people, with a glimmer of appreciation and interest in his eyes.
These are all powerful people with special abilities. If we can collect their abilities, it will be a huge improvement!
“I’ve heard of you for a long time.” Lin Tian said sincerely, “It’s my honor to meet you all here.”
Mikasa just nodded without saying anything;
Eight million responded enthusiastically;
Shinobu Kocho looked at Lin Tian with a smile, as if observing something.
Erina explained: “They are all top experts in their respective worlds, and they came here today to attend the exchange meeting.”
She added quietly in Lin Tian’s ear: “They are also members of our alliance.”
Lin Tian suddenly realized that Tsunade’s alliance was so powerful!
At this time, an old man on the stage struck the gong, announcing the official start of the exchange meeting.
“Welcome all young talents to this exchange meeting! Today we are honored to invite many world-class masters to share their experiences and skills with you.”
People on the stage displayed various abilities and skills one after another, drawing rounds of applause.
Erina suddenly turned to Lin Tian and said, “I heard that you rejected the bounty for the Arrancar King’s mask fragment?”
Lin Tian was surprised: “The news spread so quickly?”
Erina chuckled, “In the council, there are no secrets.”
She took a step closer, the fragrance filling her nose: “Actually, I have a suggestion.”
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows: “What’s the proposal?”
Erina lowered her voice and said, “I can help you get an invitation to the auction so you don’t have to register through the parliament. This way, even if there is danger, you can be prepared in advance.”
Lin Tian was alert in his heart: “Why are you helping me?”
Erina looked straight into Lin Tian’s eyes, a mysterious light flickering in her golden pupils.
“Because I’m also interested in that mask fragment, but I can’t get it by myself. We can work together.”
Lin Tian thought for a moment: “This sounds risky.”
Erina smiled mysteriously: “Risks and opportunities coexist. And…”
She leaned closer, her red lips almost touching Lin Tian’s ears, and her voice slid past his ears like silk.
“I will prepare a special dish that will increase your bone armor’s ability by 30% for a whole day.”
[Erina Nakiri’s family degree increased: 21/100]Lin Tian was moved.
With Erina’s help, and the enhancement of special dishes, the risks of the auction will be greatly reduced, and the benefits will be more attractive.
“I agree to cooperate.” Lin Tian made a decision, “but we need to make more thorough preparations.”
Erina nodded with satisfaction, “Meet at the back door of Bankai Canteen at 7 o’clock tomorrow night. I will tell you the detailed plan then.”
The exchange meeting lasted until the afternoon. Lin Tian made many new friends and learned more about the city-state.
In the evening, when everyone else left, Lin Tian stayed to continue training, using the special environment of the A-level training ground to strengthen his bone armor abilities.
[Bone Armor Ability Proficiency Improvement][Currently Activable Bone Armor Coverage: 85%][Bone armor hardness: B grade][Bone Armor Toughness: B-level]Lin Tian looked at his progress with satisfaction. The high-intensity training over the past two days was indeed effective.
Just as he was about to finish his training, a familiar voice came from behind him:
“You’re making rapid progress, kid.”
Lin Tian turned around suddenly and saw Xianglin leaning against the wall with a playful smile on her lips.
She changed her outfit today. The red leather jacket fit her graceful figure tightly, the long boots wrapped her slender legs, and the blood-red eye shadow added a bit of charm to her.
“Why are you here?” Lin Tian asked vigilantly.
17: Crazy! On the eve of the auction, beauties from all sides rushed in like crazy (old version)
Karin walked over slowly and said, “Come and see how our rising star is growing.”
She circled around Lin Tian, ​​her red pupils constantly looking at him.
“The bone armor has increased its coverage area and its hardness has also increased a lot. It seems you have worked very hard.”
Lin Tian did not deny: “What’s the matter?”
Karin suddenly stopped and her expression turned serious.
“I know Erina asked you out, and I know you guys were planning on going to the auction.”
Lin Tian was shocked: “Are you monitoring me?”
Xianglin sneered: “Don’t make such a fuss. In this city-state, everyone’s every move is being monitored.”
She walked up to Lin Tian and opened her red lips:
“I’m here to tell you not to trust anyone, including Erina.”
Lin Tian frowned: “Why do you say that?”
Karin smiled mysteriously: “Because everyone has their own purpose. Me, Erina, Tsunade…even those seemingly friendly companions, we all have our own calculations.”
She suddenly stretched out her hand and gently touched Lin Tian’s bone armor, with a hint of greed in her eyes.
“Such a pure power… no wonder everyone wants it.”
Lin Tian took a step back: “You are no exception?”
Karin pulled her hand back and shrugged, “I admit I’m interested. But unlike the others, at least I’m honest.”
She turned to leave but paused at the door.
“By the way, Lord Orochimaru might show up at the auction. If you’re smart, you’ll know what to do.”
After that, she disappeared at the door, leaving only one sentence:
Lin Tian pondered for a moment and felt that Xianglin’s words made sense.
In this complex world, everyone has their own purpose and position.
In the end, he can only believe in himself and the power of the system.
“No matter who wants to use me, I will be the one who uses everyone in the end.” Lin Tian thought confidently, “Who knows that there is a system in my body that collects all abilities?”
After packing up his training equipment, Lin Tian left the training ground and decided to go to the Wanjie Canteen for dinner.
Along the way, he considered various possibilities in his mind.
Tsunade warned him not to go, but Erina took the initiative to invite him to cooperate, and Karin warned him not to trust anyone.
“The more complicated, the more interesting it is.” Lin Tian raised his lips into a confident smile.
In his opinion, the attention and competition from these powerful people just proves his value.
Whoever tries to take advantage of him will be the one who benefits in the end.
After all, who would have thought that he had a god-level collection system?
Behind the intrigues among various forces, he will become the biggest winner!
In the Wanjie Canteen, among the bustling guests, Lin Tian chose a secluded corner to sit down.
As soon as the waiter left, a charming woman suddenly slid into the seat opposite.
“Isn’t it boring to eat alone?”
Lin Tian looked up and saw a stunningly beautiful face—long black hair, deep purple eyes, cherry red lips, and a noble and enchanting temperament.
“Matsumoto Rangiku?” Lin Tian blurted out.
The beautiful vice-captain in “Bleach”, the vice-captain of the 10th Division, possesses powerful Zanpakuto abilities!
Matsumoto Rangiku smiled charmingly, and her plump figure was faintly visible under the low-necked kimono, making it difficult to look away.
“It seems that I am quite famous. Even the new kid knows me.”
Lin Tian swallowed secretly and remained calm: “It is my honor to have dinner with Vice Captain Matsumoto.”
Matsumoto Rangiku giggled and gently played with her long hair with her slender fingers.
“Oh, you don’t have to be so polite. I’ve heard a lot about you, Lin Tian.”
She leaned forward, a faint fragrance filled her face, and her voice was sweet: “An Arrancar, a rising star of the Council, Tsunade’s favorite student… You are really interesting.”
Lin Tian’s mind raced. Matsumoto Rangiku’s sudden approach to her must have a purpose.
“Vice Captain Matsumoto, you’re too kind. I’m just an ordinary trainee member.”
Matsumoto Rangiku shook her head slightly, her long hair swaying softly with the movement.
“Don’t be so pretentious, little one. I know you were planning on going to that auction.”
She suddenly lowered her voice and said, “The fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask are indeed a tempting target, especially for a bone armor user like you.”
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows: “Are you also interested in that fragment?”
Rangiku Matsumoto shrugged, the movement making her curves more prominent.
“As a Shinigami, I am naturally interested in items related to Arrancar. Especially that fragment… It is said that it can increase the ability of the Arrancar by one level.”
The waiter brought the food and the two stopped talking for a while.
Lin Tian took the opportunity to look at Matsumoto Rangiku and think about her purpose.
If Matsumoto Rangiku also wants that fragment, then there will be one more competitor.
But if we can get her help, the success rate will be greatly improved.
More importantly, this is a great opportunity to get close to Rangiku Matsumoto and collect her abilities!
“What does Vice Captain Matsumoto want to say?” Lin Tian asked directly.
Matsumoto Rangiku smiled charmingly, took out a small card from her collar and pushed it in front of Lin Tian.
18: The defense is broken! Beauties from all sides are feeding “benefits” crazily, is it going to take off? (Old version)
“This is the VIP invitation to the auction. With it, you can enter the VIP area, which is closer to the auction table and safer.”
Lin Tian picked up the invitation letter and felt the special energy contained in it.
[Special item detected: VIP invitation letter][Function: Allow entry into the VIP area of ​​the auction and provide basic protection]【Warning: May be used for tracking】
Lin Tian put away the invitation letter: “Thank you, but why help me?”
Matsumoto Rangiku winked playfully: “Because I need a helper. The fragment is very precious and there are many competitors. I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to get it alone.”
She stretched out her slender fingers and gently tapped the back of Lin Tian’s hand.
“We can work together and split the fragments equally after we get them. How do you think?”
Lin Tian pretended to think for a moment, but in fact he had already made the decision.
This is a good opportunity to increase the chances of winning, not to mention being able to get close to a strong person like Matsumoto Rangiku.
“Deal.” He nodded in agreement, “But I’ve already agreed to cooperate with Erina Nakiri, so I hope there won’t be any conflict.”
When Matsumoto Rangiku heard this, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
“Erina? Is she involved too…”
She quickly recovered and smiled, “It doesn’t matter. Strength lies in numbers. As long as we can get the fragments in the end, that’s fine.”
The two continued to eat, and Matsumoto Rangiku seemed to enjoy the food, sighing with satisfaction from time to time.
Lin Tian took the opportunity to ask her for more information about the auction.
“The auction was held at the Dark Moon Pavilion in the seventh district in the west of the city. It is a place dedicated to underground transactions.” Matsumoto Rangiku explained. “The auction was ostensibly hosted by a neutral organization, the Gray Chamber of Commerce, but there were many forces competing behind the scenes.”
She took a sip of wine, and the crystal liquid on her red lips sparkled in the light.
“It is said that this time, in addition to the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask, there are many rare items. There will be a lot of people coming, and they will be a mixed bag. We need to be careful when dealing with them.”
Lin Tian nodded: “I understand, I will be ready.”
Matsumoto Rangiku suddenly gave a mysterious smile.
“By the way, you may not know that the reason why the fragment of the Arrancar King’s mask is so precious is that it not only enhances the user’s abilities, but also allows the user to see some…special visions.”
Lin Tian became interested: “What scene?”
Matsumoto Rangiku shook her index finger: “Well, you’ll know once you get the fragment.”
She stood up, her delicate body outlining perfect curves under the light.
“It’s getting late. I should go now. See you at the entrance of Dark Moon Pavilion at 7pm the day after tomorrow. Remember to bring your invitation.”
She leaned over and whispered in Lin Tian’s ear, the hot air she exhaled brushing against his ear.
“I look forward to working with you, Bone Armor Boy.”
After saying that, Matsumoto Rangiku left gracefully, leaving behind a refreshing fragrance.
Lin Tian watched her leave, calculating the gains and losses in his mind.
Now he has agreed to cooperate with three beauties: Erina, Karin and Matsumoto Rangiku.
Each of the three has his own strengths and goals.
Making good use of them will greatly increase the chance of obtaining fragments.
More importantly, by getting in close contact with these powerful people, you can collect more power fragments!
“What a wonderful situation.” Lin Tian said to himself, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
After dinner, Lin Tian decided to go back to the hotel to rest and prepare for tomorrow.
After returning to the hotel, Lin Tian was about to go upstairs when he was stopped by the front desk.
“Mr. Lin Tian, ​​here is your package.” The receptionist handed him an exquisite box.
Lin Tian took the box and felt a familiar energy fluctuation.
Returning to the room, he carefully opened the box.
Inside was a bottle of red potion emitting a faint fragrance, and a note.
“I’ll give you a helping hand. -S”
Lin Tian picked up the medicine, and the system immediately analyzed it:
[Special item detected: Blood Essence][Function: Temporarily increase bone armor strength by 50%, lasting for 2 hours][Side effects: slight fatigue after use][Producer: suspected to be Xianglin]Lin Tian carefully put the potion away, as it would be a trump card at the auction.
Then he opened the system interface to check today’s harvest.
[System Progress: 68/100]【Baiyan Weakness Insight (LV.2)】
[Soft Fist Countermeasure (Passive Skill)][Elsa Scarlet Energy Fragment (1/80)]If the progress is smooth and some experience points are accumulated, the system will be able to upgrade to LV.3 soon.
Lin Tian began to plan the action plan for the auction.
He has gained the support of three powerful people:
Erina offers special dishes to enhance your abilities!
Karin sent the essence of blood as a trump card!
Rangiku Matsumoto gave a VIP invitation letter to ensure safety!
In addition, Hinata volunteered to assist, and her Byakugan can help detect danger in advance.
With these helps, even if the auction is a trap, he is confident enough to get out of it safely, or even reap the benefits!
“No matter who wants to set up the trap, the prey will eventually become the hunter.” Lin Tian thought confidently.
After washing up, Lin Tian was about to go to sleep when he suddenly felt a strange movement outside the window.
He looked toward the window alertly, only to see a black cat hopping lightly into the room!
19: Debut with a divine weapon, Inoue Orihime follows with a surprise (old version)
After the black cat landed, a puff of smoke dissipated, revealing a slender figure——
Shihouin Yoruichi!
The shining goddess in “Bleach”, former captain of the second division, master of instant step!
She has short purple hair, dark skin, golden eyes as sharp as a cat, and wears tight black clothes, showing off her agile and sexy figure.
“Good alertness, kid.” Ye Yi said approvingly, his voice low and magnetic.
Lin Tian quickly got up from the bed and looked at the sudden visitor with caution.
“Yoruichi Shihouin?”
Yoruichi grinned, revealing his cat-like fangs.
“It seems that I am quite famous.”
She paced across the room, her movements graceful and powerful, each step revealing her proficiency as a master of instant movement.
“Relax, kid, I’m not here to cause trouble,” she said. “On the contrary, I’m here to give you a warning.”
Lin Tian did not let down his guard: “What do you mean by awake?”
Ye Yi stopped and looked directly at Lin Tian with his golden eyes.
“I know about the auction. I also know that Matsumoto Rangiku looked for you.”
She snorted, “That busty woman didn’t tell you the whole truth. The fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask are indeed powerful, but they are also extremely dangerous.”
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows: “Danger?”
Ye Yi nodded: “That fragment carries a part of the will of the Arrancar King. If the user’s mental strength is not strong enough, it is very likely that the fragment will backfire and turn him into a puppet.”
She approached Lin Tian, ​​with a faint herbal scent emanating from her body.
“I think you’re a pretty good kid, and I don’t want to see you get into trouble. So I’m here to remind you: even if you get the fragment, don’t rush to use it.”
Lin Tian was surprised by Ye Yi’s kind reminder: “Why are you telling me this?”
Ye Yi turned his back to Lin Tian and looked at the night sky outside the window.
“Because Urahara Kisuke thinks highly of you. He says you’re special and have the potential to change the world.”
She turned around, her golden eyes gleaming in the moonlight.
“But if you ask me, the most special thing about you is your calmness. Facing the attention of so many powerful people, an ordinary person would have been scared to death long ago.”
Lin Tian smiled in his heart. His calmness came from his absolute confidence in the system.
No one knows his real secret, and that is his greatest advantage.
“Thank you for your reminder. I will be careful.” He said sincerely.
Ye Yi suddenly stretched out his hand, and a flashing metal object flew towards Lin Tian!
Lin Tian caught it reflexively and found that it was a silver badge.
“This is the temporary badge of the Second Division. If you encounter any trouble related to the Grim Reaper at the auction, you can show it and it will save your life.”
[Obtain special item: Second Division Temporary Badge][Function: Provides shelter in death-related crises, one-time use]Lin Tian nodded gratefully: “Thank you.”
Yoruichi shrugged, “Don’t think too much about it, it’s just Urahara’s idea.”
She walked to the window, ready to leave.
“By the way, there might be people from Hueco Mundo at the auction. If you see a guy with blue hair and blue lines around his eyes, try to avoid him. He’s Grimmjow, the sixth Espada, and he has a very bad temper.”
Lin Tian wrote down this information: “I will pay attention to it.”
Ye nodded slightly, and his body turned into a black cat. He jumped out of the window lightly and disappeared into the night.
Lin Tian looked at the badge in his hand, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
Kisuke Urahara is one of the most mysterious and intelligent characters in Bleach. Why do we pay attention to him?
“It seems that my value is far greater than I thought.”
Lin Tian lay back on the bed, thinking about tomorrow’s plan.
Now he has the support of four strong people: Erina, Karin, Matsumoto Rangiku and Yoruichi.
Each one gave him different props and information, greatly improving his chances of survival and success.
“It really is effortless.” Lin Tian thought with satisfaction.
These powerful people vied to win him over, unaware that he was using them to get close to him and collect the fragments of his abilities.
Everything is moving in his favor.
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Tian fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Lin Tian got up early and began to prepare for his meeting with Erina in the evening.
After washing up, he just opened the door and saw Inoue Orihime standing outside the door, holding the lunch box in her hand.
“Lin Tianjun, good morning!” She smiled sweetly. The sunlight shone on her through the window in the corridor, giving her a golden halo.
Today, Orihime is wearing a light blue dress, which makes her look more youthful and energetic. Her long hair is loosely tied up with a blue headband. A few strands of hair hang playfully beside her cheeks, setting off her clear eyes like water.
Lin Tian smiled and responded, “Good morning, Orihime. Did you prepare breakfast for me again?”
20: Hinata blushes and shares tips, Lin Tian takes the opportunity to improve madly (old version)
Orihime nodded, a light blush growing on her cheeks.
“You said you liked the rice balls I made yesterday, so… I made some more today.”
Lin Tian felt warm in his heart. This kind girl was always so considerate.
“Thank you, let’s eat together.”
The two came to the backyard of the inn and sat at the stone table from yesterday.
Orihime opened the lunch box. Today’s breakfast was more sumptuous than yesterday’s. In addition to rice balls, there were also tamagoyaki, teriyaki chicken and some exquisite side dishes.
“You are so talented, Orihime.” Lin Tian praised sincerely, “These look so delicious!”
Orihime smiled happily, her eyes curved into crescent shapes.
“No… it’s nothing. I really like cooking, especially for Lin Tianjun.”
Lin Tian tasted the food and it was indeed delicious.
[Gain temporary attribute bonus: Mental strength +15%, lasts for 5 hours][Inoue Orihime’s family degree increased: 23/100]Lin Tian was pleasantly surprised to find that today’s breakfast actually improved his mental strength!
This will undoubtedly be a great help in the upcoming dangerous mission.
“Orihime, did you put in any special ingredients? I feel particularly energetic today.”
Orihime lowered her head somewhat shyly.
“I added some special herbs… It’s a recipe that Miss Kocho Shinobu taught me. She said it’s good for my mental strength.”
Lin Tian was surprised. It seemed that Orihime also knew Shinobu Kocho.
“Do you know Kocho-nin?”
Orihime nodded, “Yeah, she often comes to the quest guild to help heal the wounded. We became friends since we both know healing abilities.”
Lin Tian was thoughtful. The network of relationships in the city-state was more complicated than he had imagined.
“Orihime, how long have you lived in the city-state?”
Orihime thought for a moment, “About… three years. It was hard to adjust at first, but gradually I made some friends and it got a lot better.”
She suddenly remembered something and took out a small bottle from her pocket.
“By the way, this is the healing potion I mixed yesterday. It can quickly restore your strength in an emergency.”
Lin Tian took the small bottle, which contained light green liquid that exuded the fragrance of herbs.
[Obtain special item: Orihime’s healing potion][Function: Immediately restore 30% of physical strength and minor injuries, can be used in battle][Inoue Orihime’s family degree increased: 25/100]Lin Tian looked at Zhiji in surprise: “Thank you, but why are you giving me this suddenly?”
Orihime’s eyes flickered with worry.
“I…I heard that the west of the city is not very safe recently. Lin Tianjun has just arrived in the city-state, and I am worried that you will be in danger…”
She lowered her head, her voice almost becoming a whisper: “I don’t want Lin Tianjun to get hurt.”
Lin Tian was touched. He had always been selfish and regarded others as pawns and targets for collection, but Zhiji’s innocence and kindness made him feel a little guilty.
Of course, this guilt was quickly replaced by pragmatism.
Orihime’s healing abilities are very strong, and it would be a great help to me if I could take her in as a follower.
“Orihime, you are truly the kindest person I have ever met.” Lin Tian said seriously, “I feel very lucky to have a friend like you.”
Hearing this, Orihime’s cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkled with joy.
“Lin Tianjun…”
The two smiled at each other and enjoyed this warm breakfast in the sunshine.
After breakfast, Lin Tian decided to go to the training ground to meet Hinata and continue yesterday’s training.
“Orihime, I have a training appointment with Hinata and won’t be back until noon.”
Orihime nodded in understanding, “It’s okay. I have to help out at the quest guild today as well. See you tonight, Lin Tianjun.”
After saying goodbye to Orihime, Lin Tian went to the training ground.
I was thinking in my mind: I collected Erza’s energy fragments yesterday, maybe I can collect some Byakugan-related energy from Hinata today.
When they arrived at the training ground, Hinata was already waiting.
Today she was wearing a lavender training suit with her hair tied into a ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead and delicate face.
In the sunlight, her skin was as white and delicate as fine porcelain, and her eyes were as bright as the moon, pure and deep.
“Good morning, Mr. Lin Tian.” She bowed politely, her movements graceful and dignified.
Lin Tian smiled and responded, “Good morning, Hinata. What are you going to train for today?”
Hinata said shyly, “I would like to learn more about bone armor defense techniques. I benefited a lot from yesterday’s practice.”
Lin Tian nodded: “No problem, today we can study the energy distribution principle of bone armor in depth.”
The two began intensive training.
Lin Tian patiently taught Hinata how to maximize energy efficiency when defending, while Hinata shared more application techniques of the Byakugan.
During training, the two had physical contact from time to time. Every time Hinata touched Lin Tian, ​​a faint blush would appear on her face, but she did not dodge. Instead, she became more focused on training.
[Hyuga Hinata’s family degree increased: 40/100][Baiyan Weakness Insight Skill Improvement: LV.2→LV.3][New skill acquired: Soft Fist Path Prediction (passive skill)]Lin Tian was pleasantly surprised to find that through continuous training with Hinata, his understanding of the Byakugan became increasingly profound, and he was already able to predict the attack path of the Gentle Fist!
This will be a great help in future battles.
“Mr. Lin Tian has made great progress!” Hinata exclaimed, “Your understanding of the Byakugan even exceeds that of some members of the Hyuga family.”
Lin Tian smiled modestly: “This is all because of such an excellent teacher like you.”
Hinata’s cheeks turned even redder, and her fingers touched lightly, showing her unique shy attitude.
Lin Tian suddenly thought of something: “Hinata, are you still willing to help with the auction the day after tomorrow?”
21: Exciting upgrade! Karin’s fatal temptation, Kocho Shinobu’s mysterious temptation (old version)
Hinata nodded, with a determined light in her eyes: “Of course, I said I would assist Mr. Lin Tian.”
Lin Tian explained: “It could be dangerous. Many forces are interested in the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask.”
Hinata did not back down: “My Byakugan can detect danger in advance and can provide strong support to Mr. Lin Tian.”
She mustered up the courage to look directly at Lin Tian: “I…I want to protect Mr. Lin Tian.”
[Hyuga Hinata’s family degree increased: 42/100]Lin Tian’s heart moved. Hinata’s family degree had reached 42 points, getting closer and closer to the critical value of 50.
If he could take her in as a follower, her Byakugan ability would bring him a huge advantage.
“Thank you, Hinata. I feel much more at ease with your help.”
Lin Tian said sincerely, and at the same time quietly took a step closer to shorten the distance between them.
Hinata clearly felt the closeness, but instead of stepping back, she mustered up the courage to meet Lin Tian’s gaze.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Hinata finally looked away shyly, but a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
After the training, Lin Tian and Hinata agreed to meet at the entrance of the hotel at six o’clock the next evening and go to the auction together.
After saying goodbye to Hinata, Lin Tian went to the market to buy some necessary supplies in preparation for the meeting with Erina tomorrow night and the auction the day after tomorrow.
In the market, Lin Tian bought several fast-acting potions, a few energy crystals and a lightweight protective vest.
Just as he was about to pay the bill, a familiar voice came from behind him.
“You’re really well prepared, kid.”
Lin Tian turned around and saw Xianglin leaning against the door of the store with a playful expression on her face.
Today, Xianglin has changed her outfit. The black leather pants outline her slender legs, and the red top brings out her hot figure. She exudes a dangerous and seductive aura.
“What? You want to monitor my every move?” Lin Tian asked half-jokingly.
Xiang Lin sneered and walked closer to Lin Tian.
“Don’t be so conceited. I just came to buy something and I happened to meet you.”
She glanced at the items Lin Tian bought and raised her eyebrows. “Energy crystals? A wise choice, but ordinary stuff won’t help you much.”
Xiang Lin took out a crimson crystal from her pocket and handed it to Lin Tian.
“This is better, an S-level energy crystal, it can save lives at critical moments.”
Lin Tian took the crystal and felt the powerful energy contained in it.
[Obtain special item: S-level energy crystal][Function: Immediately restore 70% of energy, instantly increase combat power by 30%, lasting for 5 minutes][Warning: There will be a short period of weakness after use]Lin Tian looked at Xiang Lin in surprise: “Isn’t this too expensive?”
S-level items are worth at least 100,000 gold coins in the market!
Karin waved her hand nonchalantly, “It’s nothing. Just think of it as…an investment.”
She leaned close to Lin Tian, ​​her red lips almost touching his ear, and whispered:
“I am very interested in you, Lin Tian. Not only your ability, but also you as a person.”
Her breath brushed past Lin Tian’s ears, carrying a faint fragrance that made his heart flutter.
“I hope you won’t let me down.”
After saying that, Xianglin gently bit Lin Tian’s earlobe, then quickly stepped back, leaving behind a charming smile.
“See you at the auction, bone armor boy.”
She turned and left, her graceful figure attracting many glances from passers-by.
Lin Tian touched his hot earlobe and his heart beat faster.
This woman is too dangerous, but also too alluring.
[Karin’s family degree test: 35/100]It turns out that Karin also has such a high degree of affection for me!
Lin Tian was secretly delighted, it seemed that he had quite a bit of charm among the beauties.
After paying the bill, Lin Tian decided to go to the Bankai Canteen for lunch, and then go back to the hotel to rest and recharge his energy for the meeting with Erina in the evening.
In the Wanjie Cafeteria, Lin Tian chose a quiet corner to sit down.
Just after ordering, a disembodied voice came from behind:
“Is this Mr. Lin Tian?”
Lin Tian turned around and saw a beautiful lady with extraordinary temperament standing behind him.
She has long lavender hair and a butterfly-shaped hair accessory. Her eyes are as calm and deep as a deep pool. She wears the uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps and exudes a faint medicinal scent.
“Demon Slayer Corps’ Shinobu Kocho? How could such a strong person come to us in person!” Lin Tian’s heartbeat instantly accelerated.
He stood up, smiled slightly, and nodded politely: “Yes, I am. What can I do for you, Miss Butterfly?”
Butterfly Shinobu smiled elegantly, her eyes calm as water: “I have heard of Mr. Lin’s name for a long time. I heard that you have been collecting special abilities recently.”
Lin Tian’s heart was filled with alarm.
This sentence is too dangerous!
How did he know that he was collecting abilities? This was clearly a secret that only he knew!
“Ms. Butterfly, you’re joking. I’m just an ordinary C-level ability user.” Lin Tian responded cautiously.
“Haha, then your bone armor ability is not ordinary at all.” Shinobu Kocho said softly.
She sat down gracefully opposite Lin Tian, ​​her long purple hair glowing softly under the light.
“May I ask why Miss Butterfly is interested in my abilities?” Lin Tian suppressed his inner uneasiness.
The system prompt sound suddenly sounded in my mind:
[S-level target detected: Kocho Shinobu][Ability: Full Concentration Breathing – Butterfly Dance]【Collection value: very high】
[Warning: The target’s strength is far greater than the host’s, please approach with caution]Lin Tian’s pupils shrank slightly.
Even more powerful than he imagined!
22: Oh my god! Erina’s jealous warning, a lot of information (old version)
“I am very interested in your bone armor.”
Shinobu Kocho took a sip of her tea. “Its purity is very rare.”
Lin Tian was secretly calculating.
Collecting S-level ability fragments is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
But the opponent is too strong, and it would be dangerous to act rashly.
“Your bone armor ability is very special, without the common impurities and side effects.” Butterfly Shinobu looked directly into Lin Tian’s eyes.
That look seemed to be able to penetrate people’s hearts.
“This is due to my talent.” Lin Tian remained calm, “I wonder what advice Miss Butterfly wants to give me?”
“Are you planning to go to the auction in three days? Aren’t there things you want to collect there?” Shinobu Kocho suddenly changed the subject.
Why does everyone know about the auction?
Could this auction be more important than imagined?
“I’ve only heard of it and am still considering it.” Lin Tian asked tentatively.
Shinobu Kocho smiled slightly: “Don’t pretend, you have the aura of an auction.”
She stretched out her slender fingers and tapped the table: “I have a suggestion.”
Lin Tian held his breath and waited for what was to come.
“Let’s join forces. I need your bone armor abilities. In return, I can help you get the most desired item at the auction.”
[System prompt: Kocho Shinobu’s family degree +5, current family degree 5/100][Task trigger: Butterfly’s invitation][Description: Accept Shinobu Kocho’s cooperation and assist her at the auction][Reward: Kocho Shinobu Energy Fragments x 5, System Points +1000][Failure: Kocho Shinobu’s favorability -20, missed the opportunity to obtain S-level ability]Lin Tian’s eyes lit up.
This is simply pie in the sky!
Opportunity to obtain S-level ability fragments!
“I wonder what Miss Butterfly’s interest in the auction is?” Lin Tian asked.
“There may be some kind of poison formula hidden in the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask.” Kocho Shinobu’s eyes became sharp, “As a pharmacist, I am very interested.”
The waiter at Wanjie Canteen brought the food ordered by Lin Tian.
Shinobu Kocho took a look and suddenly said, “Did you order Erina Nakiri’s signature dish?”
“Do you know Miss Nakiri?” Lin Tian was a little surprised.
“Pharmacists and chefs always have something in common.” Kocho Shinobu smiled, “We both know the secrets of the recipe.”
An idea suddenly occurred to Lin Tian.
Collect the abilities of Erina Nakiri and Shinobu Kocho, and perhaps you can combine them to create new abilities!
“I am happy to cooperate with Miss Butterfly.” Lin Tian agreed happily, “But my ability is limited, and I don’t know how I can help.”
“Your bone armor can be integrated with my poison to produce special effects.” Shinobu Kocho said, “I’m afraid something unexpected will happen at the auction.”
“Unexpected incident?” Lin Tian asked.
“Many forces have set their sights on the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask.” Shinobu Kocho lowered her voice, “including the enemies of your Lady Tsunade.”
Orochimaru!
“So I need your assistance.” Shinobu Kocho extended her hand. “Happy cooperation?”
Lin Tian held the soft hand and said, “Happy cooperation.”
[System prompt: Touch the S-level target to obtain Kocho Shinobu Energy Fragment x 1][Full Concentration Breathing-Butterfly Dance Ability Collection Progress: 1/30]A tingling sensation came from his palms, and Lin Tian could hardly control his expression.
The feeling of S-level energy fragments is too strong!
“Tomorrow evening, I’ll wait for you at the Yaoyi Pavilion in the east of the city.” Kocho Shinobu stood up, “I’ll teach you something useful.”
Her figure disappeared lightly at the restaurant door.
Lin Tian let out a long sigh and opened the system panel:
[Level: C (close to B)][System Level: LV.2 (Progress: 68/100)][Abilities acquired: Bone armor control (fully mastered), Naruto basic chakra perception ability (sealed state), Byakugan weakness insight (LV.3), Gentle fist countermeasure (passive), Gentle fist path prediction (passive)][Ability Collection Progress: Kocho Shinobu (1/30)][New Task: Butterfly’s Invitation]Just as Lin Tian was checking the system, a familiar voice came:
“Lin Tian, ​​what a coincidence!”
Erina Nakiri walked over, her long golden hair hanging casually, and her chef’s uniform outlined her perfect figure.
“Eh? Who was that just now…” She looked towards the door.
“Shinobu Kocho, we just met.” Lin Tian explained.
A hint of barely perceptible vigilance flashed across Erina Nakiri’s eyes: “Be careful with that pharmacist, her poison is no joke.”
[System prompt: Erina Nakiri’s family degree +2, current family degree 23/100]“Ms. Erina, are you worried about me?” Lin Tian asked with a smile.
Nakiri Erina blushed slightly: “Don’t be so conceited! I have new information about the plan for the day after tomorrow.”
She sat opposite Lin Tian and lowered her voice: “The auction might be a fraud.”
“What do you mean?” Lin Tian frowned.
“The fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask are too precious. It might be a trap.” Erina Nakiri looked solemn.
Lin Tian seemed to be thinking about something.
First it was Shinobu Kocho, and now it is Erina Nakiri, both hinting that the auction would be in danger.
What is hidden behind this auction?
“I heard that you know Tsunade?” Erina Nakiri asked suddenly.
23: Double Scam at the Auction, Orochimaru is going to cause trouble (old version)
Lin Tian nodded: “We have some friendship.”
“She is also very concerned about this auction.” Nakiri Erina said, “All parties are taking action.”
It seems that this auction has become the focus of competition among all parties!
And I seem to have become an important chess piece on the chessboard.
“By the way, I made a new dish. Would you like to try it?” Erina Nakiri changed the subject.
Without waiting for Lin Tian to answer, she got up and returned to the kitchen, quickly bringing back a plate of delicious food.
“This is a special dish for strengthening bones. Some special ingredients are added.” Erina Nakiri said with a smile.
Lin Tian tasted it carefully, and a powerful energy immediately flowed through his body.
[System prompt: Obtained special bonus “Chef’s Bone Strengthening”, bone armor hardness +15%, lasts for 24 hours]“It’s so delicious!” Lin Tian exclaimed sincerely.
Erina Nakiri puffed out her chest proudly: “Of course!”
She approached Lin Tian, ​​the scent of perfume drifting towards him: “Remember, see you at the back door of Wanjie Canteen at six o’clock the day after tomorrow.”
Erina Nakiri left this sentence and turned away. Her graceful figure attracted the attention of many diners.
Lin Tian fell into deep thought.
Shinobu Kocho, Erina Nakiri, Tsunade
Now he has to deal with three stunning women at the same time, and also prepare for an auction that may be fraught with danger.
He took out the shielding earrings Tsunade had given him and put them on carefully.
Now, it’s time to make some arrangements.
He quietly activated the system mall:
[Available points: 1500][Product list: Primary Stamina Recovery Potion (300 points), Primary Energy Barrier (500 points), Concealment Rune (800 points), Ability Catalyst (1000 points)]Lin Tian chose the Concealment Rune without hesitation:
[Purchased: Concealment Rune, hides the breath for 3 hours, can avoid perception below level B][Points balance: 700]Just then, his communicator vibrated.
This is the message from Hinata Hyuga:
“Lin Tianjun, I have found some information about the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask. It is very important and I need to tell you in person.”
Lin Tian replied: “Where shall we meet?”
Hyuga Hinata: “White Courtyard, north of the central city, in one hour. Be careful not to be followed.”
The situation is becoming increasingly complicated.
Lin Tian secretly planned his plan.
There are still two days left in the auction and time is running out.
He needs to collect more intelligence, increase his strength, and prepare for possible crises.
And is this S-class powerhouse Shinobu Kocho who suddenly appeared an ally or a threat?
Lin Tian tapped the table lightly, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Regardless, this is a great opportunity to collect Ability Fragments!
Lin Tian left the Wanjie Canteen, feeling extremely happy.
The S-class expert Shinobu Kocho took the initiative to show goodwill. This is a huge opportunity!
“By collecting S-level ability fragments, my strength will usher in a qualitative leap.” Lin Tian thought to himself.
He quietly activated the bone armor’s ability to enhance his perception and make sure no one was following him.
The system prompt sounded again:
[Tip: After the host contacts the S-level target, the system progress +2, current progress: 70/100][Bone armor ability is being strengthened…basic strength increased by 5%]Lin Tian raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
This god-level collection system is truly his biggest trump card.
Nobody knows.
No one noticed.
No one can guess.
It is this absolute secret that makes him invincible in this complex world.
The streets of Midtown are bustling with people.
Lin Tian used light footwork to move flexibly among the crowd.
“White Garden” is a famous garden in the northern part of the central city. It is said to have been invested and built by the Shifengyuan family in the world of “Bleach”.
At the entrance to the courtyard, an indigo figure waited quietly.
Lin Tian’s eyes fell on the familiar figure, and his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.
Hinata Hyuga was wearing a lavender kimono that made her skin look as white as snow.
Her long black hair was loose, fluttering gently in the evening breeze.
Her pair of pupil-less white eyes looked particularly lively at this moment.
“Mr. Lin…” Hinata lowered her head slightly, with a hint of shyness in her tone.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting.” Lin Tian deliberately took a step closer and was satisfied to see a faint blush on Hinata’s cheeks.
[System prompt: Hyuga Hinata’s family degree +3, current family degree 45/100]“Please follow me.” Hinata turned around and led Lin Tian into the depths of the courtyard.
Lin Tian admired Hinata’s elegant posture as she walked.
The curves faintly visible under the kimono are a visual feast.
The interior space of the White Courtyard is surprisingly large.
The rockery, flowing water, pavilions and towers make it seem like a hidden little world.
Hinata led Lin Tian to a secluded pavilion.
“There’s a barrier here so no one can eavesdrop.” Hinata said softly.
“What important information did you discover?” Lin Tian asked.
Hinata looked around and after confirming that it was safe, she took out a slightly yellowed parchment from her sleeve:
“This is the information I found in the Hyuga family secret library.”
Lin Tian took the parchment, on which was a pattern of a broken mask.
“The fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask… not only enhance the power of the Hollow, but also record a special method of fusion.” Hinata explained.
“The method of fusion?” Lin Tian’s eyes lit up.
“It is said that it can break through bloodline limitations and integrate the power of different worlds.” Hinata moved closer to Lin Tian and lowered her voice.
Lin Tian was overjoyed.
Isn’t this exactly what he has always dreamed of?
The ability fusion function of the god-level collection system needs such a breakthrough!
“There is more important information.” Hinata’s eyes sparkled slightly, “The auction is a cover, the real fragments are being traded in secret.”
“The real buyer and seller have already reached an agreement, the auction is just a smokescreen,” Hinata explained.
Lin Tian’s eyes narrowed.
No wonder Shinobu Kocho and Erina Nakiri both mentioned that “the auction was fraudulent.”
“When and where did the real transaction take place?” Lin Tian asked.
“The day after tomorrow at eight o’clock in the evening, Shadow Garden in the seventh district in the west of the city.” Hinata replied.
It was the same time the auction was taking place!
“Who is the seller? Who is the buyer?” Lin Tian continued to ask.
“The seller is an Arrancar from Hueco Mundo, and the buyer…” Hinata hesitated, “is Orochimaru.”
A cold light flashed in Lin Tian’s eyes.
Orochimaru, a core member of the Shadow Organization and Tsunade’s mortal enemy!
“How do you know this information?” Lin Tian asked curiously.
Hinata showed a hint of pride on her face: “The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan can see through many secrets.”
She gently raised her hand and brushed away the strands of hair on her forehead: “I took a big risk to help Lin Tianjun.”
That shy look made Lin Tian’s heart flutter.
“Hinata, you are truly my most important partner.” Lin Tian said softly, taking her hand.
[System prompt: Touch the target to obtain Hinata Hyuga Energy Fragment x 1][System prompt: Hyuga Hinata’s family degree +5, current family degree 50/100][Byakugan weakness detection ability improvement: LV.3 → LV.4]Hinata’s hands are as soft as jade and feel great to the touch.
She didn’t pull her hand back, but blushed: “Lin Tianjun…I…”
24: Damn it! Hinata blushed and was kissed, and Orochimaru stretched out his black hand (old version)
“With your help, I will definitely be able to get that fragment.” Lin Tian said affectionately.
“You have to be careful of Orochimaru, he is very dangerous.” Hinata said worriedly.
Lin Tian showed a confident smile: “Don’t worry, I have my own plan.”
He deliberately let his fingers lightly slide across Hinata’s palm.
Hinata’s ears immediately turned red.
“There is one more thing…” Hinata suddenly became serious, “My father, Hyuga Hiashi, seems to have noticed you.”
Lin Tian’s heart shuddered.
Hiashi is the patriarch of the Hyuga clan. He is very powerful and has an extraordinary vision.
“He said he wanted to meet you and invited you to visit the Hyuga residence tomorrow.” Hinata whispered.
Lin Tian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: “It’s my honor.”
After the conversation, Hinata offered to escort Lin Tian out of the courtyard.
The two walked side by side, their shoulders touching from time to time.
Lin Tian deliberately slowed down his pace to admire Hinata’s graceful figure as she walked with lotus steps.
Suddenly, Lin Tian felt a chill.
He suddenly pulled Hinata over and protected her behind him.
“Who is it!” Lin Tian shouted sternly.
A tall and thin figure slowly walked out from the shadows of the trees in the courtyard.
Wearing a black windbreaker and a fox mask on his face.
“What a keen perception.” The masked man’s voice was low and hoarse.
“Who are you?” Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his right hand had quietly condensed a bone dagger.
“Just a messenger.” The masked man said nonchalantly, “My master is very interested in Mr. Lin’s bone armor ability.”
Lin Tian became even more alert.
They are coming for his bone armor ability again!
“Who is your master?” Lin Tian asked coldly.
“You will know when the time comes.” The masked man threw a black nameplate to Lin Tian, ​​”This is an invitation. You will be waiting at Youye Pavilion at 8 o’clock tomorrow night.”
Lin Tian easily caught the nameplate, which had a coiled snake engraved on it.
Before Lin Tian could ask again, the masked man disappeared into the night.
“That’s… Orochimaru’s men!” Hinata said in surprise.
Lin Tian smiled slightly: “It seems that I am very popular.”
He looked at the nameplate in his hand, already thinking about how to take advantage of this opportunity.
Orochimaru, Hyuga Hiashi, Kocho Shinobu, Nakiri Erina
Everyone became interested in him.
“Mr. Lin, I’m worried that you will be in danger.” Hinata said softly, her beautiful eyes full of worry.
“Don’t worry, Hinata.” Lin Tian touched her head, “I know what I am doing.”
He suddenly approached Hinata and whispered in her ear, “Can you do me a favor before we meet tomorrow?”
Hinata’s pretty face flushed, but she still nodded seriously: “Anything is fine.”
“Help me investigate the location relationship between Youye Pavilion and Youying Garden.” Lin Tian said.
“I understand.” Hinata said firmly.
Before they parted, Lin Tian deliberately kissed Hinata on the cheek: “Thank you for the information, it’s very valuable.”
Hinata was stunned as if struck by lightning.
[System prompt: Hyuga Hinata’s family degree +5, current family degree 55/100][Trigger special plot: Hyuga family secrets]Lin Tian smiled with satisfaction and turned to leave.
On the way back to his residence, Lin Tian sorted out the information he had obtained today.
The fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask, the method of fusion, Orochimaru’s secret deal…
There are also those strong people who are interested in the abilities of his bone armor.
Lin Tian knew clearly that these people didn’t know his real secret at all.
They only saw the surface, but didn’t know that the god-level collection system was his greatest reliance.
“Take advantage of the game between these strong men and use it for my own benefit.” Lin Tian thought confidently.
When he returned to his residence, Lin Tian found a familiar figure standing at the door.
Long orange hair, plump figure, and gentle smile.
Inoue Orihime was holding a food box in her hand, and she immediately smiled brightly when she saw Lin Tian:
“Lin Tianjun, I made a lunch box, do you want to eat together?”
Orihime was wearing a light blue dress today, which showed off her perfect figure to the fullest.
Lin Tian raised a smile and opened the door: “It’s my honor, Miss Orihime.”
The system’s voice sounded in my mind:
[Today’s harvest: Kocho Shinobu energy fragment × 1, Hyuga Hinata energy fragment × 1][System Progress: 70/100][New Mission: The Secret of the Arrancar King][Goal: Obtain the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask and unlock the “Method of Fusion”][Reward: System Upgrade Progress +15, Random S-level Ability Fragment × 1]Lin Tian closed the door, his eyes gleaming with determination.
As soon as the door closed, Orihime was busy opening the lunch box.
“Lin Tianjun, I specially made your favorite dish!”
Orihime smiled sweetly, and when she leaned over to place the food, she could actually see the white rabbit.
Lin Tian admired the beautiful scenery calmly.
“Ms. Orihime’s craftsmanship is getting better and better.” Lin Tian deliberately moved closer and smelled the fragrance of her hair.
Orihime blushed and took a half step back: “This time, we added special materials, which will be very helpful in restoring energy.”
Her cheeks were flushed, adding to her alluring charm.
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +3, current family degree 28/100]Lin Tian took a bite of the lunch box and indeed felt a warm current flowing through his body.
[System prompt: Obtained special benefit “Orihime’s vitality replenishment”, energy recovery speed +20%, lasts for 12 hours]Orihime’s eyes lit up, “Really? I even brought dessert!”
She took out a delicate little box from her bag, which contained Japanese confectionery in the shape of a little rabbit.
“Very cute, just like Orihime.” Lin Tian said with a smile.
Orihime lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
“Mr. Lin…are you free tomorrow?” she asked in a low voice.
25: Show off your skills in front of Orihime, and your clan’s speed will soar (old version)
Lin Tian thought for a moment and realized that tomorrow was indeed full of plans.
First there was Shinobu Kocho’s “Yaoyi Pavilion”, then there was the meeting with Hyuga Hiashi, and in the evening there was a mysterious invitation from the “Youye Pavilion”.
But looking at Orihime’s expectant eyes, Lin Tian decided to make time for the beauty.
“You’re free in the morning, what plans do you have for Orihime?” Lin Tian asked gently.
Zhiji’s eyes lit up: “I would like to ask Lin Tianjun to accompany me to the Spirit Weaving Workshop. I heard that there are special spiritual threads there that can enhance my healing ability.”
Lin Tian immediately sensed the opportunity.
Healing ability! This is one of the rare abilities he wants to collect!
“Of course, I’m happy to accompany you.” Lin Tian agreed readily.
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +4, current family degree 32/100]Orihime smiled happily, and her bright smile was as warm as the sunshine.
The two had dinner together, and Lin Tian skillfully guided the topic and inquired about information from all sides.
“Have you heard any interesting news recently, Orihime?” Lin Tian asked casually.
Orihime thought for a moment and said, “Hmm… I heard that several captains from the Bleach world have recently come to the Central City.”
Lin Tian’s eyes lit up: “Really? Which ones?”
“Urahara Kisuke, Kyoraku Shunsui, and… Kuchiki Byakuya.” Orihime counted on her fingers.
Byakuya Kuchiki! One of the most powerful captains in Bleach!
Lin Tian was delighted, as this was another good opportunity to collect top-level ability fragments.
“What are they here for?” Lin Tian asked casually.
“It seems to be related to the auction.” Orihime said, “Captain Kuchiki seems to be very interested in the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask.”
It seems that the fragment of the Arrancar King’s mask is far more valuable than he imagined!
It has attracted the top powerful people in the world of “Death”!
“By the way, Captain Kuchiki also brought his sister, Rukia Kuchiki,” Orihime added.
Another important character in “Bleach”!
Lin Tian was excited inside, but he remained calm on the surface: “Really? She is also a captain-level expert, right?”
“No, Rukia is now the vice-captain.” Orihime explained with a smile, “But she is very strong!”
During the conversation, Orihime accidentally knocked over her cup of water, and water splashed onto her clothes.
“Oh, sorry!” Orihime stood up in panic.
The water stains soaked her clothes, outlining her more seductive curves.
Lin Tian’s eyes darkened and he handed over a tissue: “Don’t panic, Orihime.”
His fingers deliberately touched the back of Orihime’s hand.
[System prompt: Touch the target to obtain Inoue Orihime Energy Fragment x 1][Healing Power Collection Progress: 3/15]Orihime’s face turned even redder, and she wiped her clothes hastily, “I…I’ll go to the bathroom and take care of this.”
When Zhiji left, Lin Tian quietly checked the system panel:
[System Level: LV.2 (Progress: 70/100)]【Ability Collection:
-Bone Armor Control (Fully Mastered)
-Healing Power (3/15)
-White Eye Weakness Insight (LV.4)
-Butterfly Dance (1/30)】
[Family Progress:
-Tsunade: 45/100
-Hyuga Hinata: 55/100
-Aroma: 35/100
– Inoue Orihime: 32/100
– Erina Nakiri: 23/100
– Shinobu Kocho: 5/100】
Everything is going as planned.
After Orihime came back, the two continued chatting.
Lin Tian began to consciously show his gentlemanly manners, which made Zhiji’s liking for him continue to increase.
Before leaving, Orihime suddenly took out a small bottle from her bag:
“This is the latest healing potion I made. It works better than the last time.”
Lin Tian took the vial and deliberately stroked his fingers across Orihime’s palm.
Orihime’s body trembled slightly, and she quickly withdrew her hand: “Tomorrow… tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, see you at the South City Spirit Weaving Workshop?”
“Be on time.” Lin Tian smiled and saw Orihime off.
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +3, current family degree 35/100][Item Obtained: Advanced Healing Potion (Restores 50% of Physical Strength and Moderate Injuries)]After closing the door, the smile on Lin Tian’s face gradually disappeared and he became thoughtful.
“Byakuya Kuchiki, Shunsui Kyoraku, Kisuke Urahara… they are all strong men above S-rank.”
Lin Tian fell on the bed, thinking about how to quietly collect the fragments of power while being surrounded by so many powerful people.
“No rush, let’s steadily advance the current plan first.”
He closed his eyes and began to meditate, gathering energy for tomorrow’s busy schedule.
The system was quietly operating in his consciousness, filtering and purifying the energy fragments collected today.
This ultimate secret, known only to himself, is his biggest trump card to gain a foothold in this anime world.
The next morning, Lin Tian got up early.
After a quick wash, he checked his equipment:
-Shielding earrings given by Tsunade
-Blood Essence (provided by Karin)
-S-level energy crystal
-Hidden Rune
-Advanced Healing Potion
Everything is ready.
He first went to the appointment at “Reizhifang” and saw Orihime in a white dress at the door.
In the sunshine, Orihime is like an angel, pure and beautiful.
“Lin Tianjun, good morning!” Orihime waved happily.
“Good morning, Orihime.” Lin Tian responded with a smile.
The two entered the Lingzhi Workshop, and found that the space inside was much larger than it looked from the outside.
The shelves were filled with balls of thread of various colors, each emitting a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy.
“These are spirit threads. They enhance my healing abilities,” Orihime explained.
She picked up a ball of golden thread and felt it carefully: “This is especially suitable for strengthening Shield Shun Liuhua.”
Lin Tian deliberately leaned closer: “So Orihime’s ability is achieved through these hairpins and spiritual threads?”
Orihime nodded, “Yes, my abilities come from these six flowers.”
There was a gleam of light in Lin Tian’s eyes.
This is exactly the information he wanted to know!
“Can you show me a demonstration? I’m curious.” Lin Tian asked gently.
Zhiji hesitated for a moment, but under Lin Tian’s encouraging gaze, she whispered the spell:
“Shield Shun Rikka, I refuse.”
The petals on her hairpin flew out, forming a golden barrier.
[System prompt: Target demonstrates core ability, healing power collection efficiency +50%][Healing Power Collection Progress: 4/15]Lin Tian gently touched the golden barrier and felt a warm energy.
“What a magical ability.” Lin Tian admired sincerely.
Orihime’s cheeks flushed slightly, “It’s…it’s nothing.”
She carefully withdrew her ability and began to select the spiritual thread.
Lin Tian took the opportunity to ask: “Does Orihime know why the strong men in the world of death are interested in the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask?”
Orihime whispered back, “It is said that the fragment can open a passage to the depths of Hueco Mundo, where more powerful Hollows are hidden.”
This is another important piece of information!
The two stayed in the Spirit Weaving Workshop for an hour, and Orihime purchased several balls of special spirit thread.
When leaving, Lin Tian offered to take Zhiji back.
On the way, the two encountered an unexpected situation.
A little girl was surrounded by several hooligans, who seemed to be trying to rob her.
“Lin Tianjun, we should help!” Zhiji said anxiously.
There was a hint of impatience in Lin Tian’s eyes, but then he thought, this is a good opportunity to show his strength.
“Of course, I can’t just sit there and watch.” Lin Tian pretended to be righteous.
He stepped forward quickly and said in a cold voice: “Stop.”
A few hooligans turned around and sneered when they saw Queen Lin:
“Kid, get out of here if you don’t want to die!”
26: Shinobu Kocho exudes temptation at close range, who can resist this? (Old version)
Lin Tian curled the corners of his mouth slightly and waved his right hand gently.
The bone spear materialized instantly and pierced the leading gangster’s shoulder with lightning speed.
“Ah!” The man screamed and fell to the ground.
Before the others could react, Lin Tian appeared behind them.
“It’s too slow.” Lin Tian said softly.
The bone dagger pierced the second gangster’s leg, and the third man was whipped away by the bone whip.
In less than ten seconds, all the gangsters fell to the ground groaning.
The little girl was stunned, and Orihime’s eyes widened.
“Lin Tianjun… so powerful!” Orihime exclaimed.
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +5, current family degree 40/100]The little girl thanked him timidly: “Thank you, big brother, for saving me.”
Lin Tian touched her head gently: “It’s okay, they won’t dare to bully you anymore.”
At this moment, a clear voice came:
“Oh, that’s really brave, Mr. Lin.”
Lin Tian turned around and saw a girl in a black Death Tyrant costume standing not far away.
She is petite, with black hair, big violet eyes, and a face as delicate as a porcelain doll.
“Kuchiki Rukia!” Orihime exclaimed in surprise.
The eldest daughter of the Kuchiki family, an important character in “Bleach”!
Rukia came over, greeted Orihime, and nodded slightly to Lin Tian:
“Thank you for saving this little girl. It seems that the council’s assessment of you as a righteous C-rank warrior is correct.”
Lin Tian smiled modestly: “It’s just a piece of cake.”
[System prompt: Potential family target identified: Rukia Kuchiki][Initial family degree setting: 5/100]Rukia looked at Lin Tian and said, “My brother mentioned you. He said you have a special bone armor ability?”
Lin Tian was alert in his heart, but his expression remained calm: “Yes, but it’s just an ordinary ability.”
“Normal?” Rukia raised her lips slightly, “The ability to defeat so many opponents in the trials is not ordinary.”
She winked at Orihime, “Orihime, can you introduce your friend?”
Orihime quickly introduced the two of them formally.
During the conversation, Lin Tian keenly noticed that Rukia seemed to be intentionally approaching him.
When the time was right, Lin Tian took the initiative to ask, “Miss Xiumu seems to be interested in me?”
Rukia smiled slightly, “Indeed. My brother asked me to invite you to visit, I wonder if Mr. Lin is interested?”
Another invitation from an important person!
Lin Tian was ecstatic in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface: “It’s my honor, but my schedule is quite full recently…”
“It’s okay, I can wait.” Rukia handed Lin Tian an exquisite business card, “Please contact me when you are free.”
Lin Tian took the business card and lightly touched Rukia’s fingers with his fingertips.
[System prompt: Touch the target to obtain 1 Kuchiki Rukia Energy Fragment][Death Power Collection Progress: 1/25]The three chatted for a while longer before Rukia excused herself and left.
“Lin Tianjun is really popular.” Orihime said with some envy.
Lin Tian smiled without saying anything, but he was feeling very proud in his heart.
After he sent Orihime back to her residence, he said goodbye in a hurry.
It was almost noon, and he still had to go to the “Medicine Wing Pavilion” to meet with Kocho Shinobu.
Walking on the road, Lin Tian felt the newly collected energy fragments in his body.
Rukia Kuchiki’s Death Power
The healing power of Inoue Orihime…
Plus the previously collected White Eye ability and Butterfly Dance…
Lin Tian’s heart was beating fast, and a determined smile appeared on his face.
All the power in this complex world will be in his pocket!
As he walked, the “Yaoyi Pavilion” in the east of the city gradually appeared in sight.
An antique attic with butterfly patterns decorated on the eaves.
Lin Tian took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and strode towards the attic entrance.
The door of Yaoyi Pavilion was closed, and two pots of purple Phalaenopsis were placed in front of the door.
Lin Tian knocked on the door lightly, and the sound echoed in the silence.
After a moment, the door slid open silently.
A girl in a light-colored kimono was standing inside the door. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with her hair tied into a cute bun.
“Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Tian?” The girl’s voice was soft, but her eyes were unusually mature.
“That’s right.” Lin Tian nodded slightly.
“The master is waiting for you inside, please follow me.” The girl turned around and led the way.
Lin Tian followed the girl through the corridor, his footsteps silent.
The interior space of Yaoyi Pavilion is surprisingly large, with various herbs hanging under the eaves and the air filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.
After passing through a small courtyard, the girl stopped in front of a teahouse:
“The master is inside, please come in.”
Lin Tian gently pushed the paper door, and what came into view was the elegant back of Shinobu Kocho.
She was wearing a lavender kimono, her hair tied in a bun with a butterfly-shaped hairpin, and was making tea.
Hearing the voice, Kocho Shinobu turned around with a faint smile on her lips:
“Mr. Lin, you arrived on time and are very trustworthy.”
The sunlight pouring in through the window lattice added a layer of hazy beauty to her.
Lin Tian smiled: “Miss Butterfly invited me, how dare I neglect it.”
As he sat down, he deliberately observed Shinobu Kocho’s every move.
There was something dangerous about that elegance, like a beautiful but poisonous flower.
“Please have some tea.” Shinobu Kocho pushed the cup towards Lin Tian, ​​”I made this special herbal tea, it will help improve your perception.”
Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, but immediately decided to take the risk.
The tea tastes bitter with a hint of sweetness.
In an instant, he felt his five senses become sharper.
[System prompt: Special drugs detected, harmless, temporarily improve perception by 20%, lasting 4 hours]“What a magical tea!” Lin Tian praised sincerely.
Kocho Shinobu smiled slightly: “They are just some common medicinal herbs.”
Her smile seemed to penetrate people’s hearts, making Lin Tian want to get closer involuntarily.
[System prompt: Kocho Shinobu’s family degree +3, current family degree 8/100]“Mr. Lin’s bone armor ability is very special.” Kocho Shinobu went straight to the point, “I’m curious about how it works.”
Lin Tian’s expression remained unchanged, but he became alert.
His golden finger must not be exposed!
“It’s just ordinary bone manipulation, nothing special.” Lin Tian said modestly.
Shinobu Kocho tapped the table with her slender fingers. “Ordinary? I’ve seen many bone-type ability users, but none of them are as pure and flawless as you.”
Lin Tian pretended to be confused: “Pure and flawless?”
“Most bone-type ability users will have side effects, or… impurities,” Shinobu Kocho explained.
She stood up, walked to Lin Tian, ​​and leaned closer.
The lavender hair fell down, vaguely touching Lin Tian’s cheek.
The faint fragrance made Lin Tian’s heart beat faster.
27: Big Crisis! Kocho Shinobu uses the Fusion Scroll as bait and presses forward step by step (old version)
“For example, Grimmjow’s bone armor has obvious manic emotions.”
Shinobu Kocho’s voice was soft and mysterious, “yet your abilities are impeccable.”
Lin Tian secretly rejoiced.
This is exactly the filtering function of the god-level collection system!
The system will filter out side effects and impurities in the ability, retaining only pure power.
But this must never be known to anyone.
“Maybe it’s because of my special physique.” Lin Tian said lightly.
Kocho Shinobu returned to her seat, her eyes as calm as a lake:
“There’s more to the auction than just the Arrancar King mask fragments. There’s something even more important.”
“What is it?” Lin Tian became interested.
“An ancient scroll that records the method of fusion.” Shinobu Kocho said softly.
The method of fusion!
Lin Tian was shocked. This was exactly what Hinata Hyuga mentioned yesterday!
“It is said that the ancient scroll records how to merge the abilities of different worlds.” Shinobu Kocho continued, “It is especially effective for people with special physiques.”
Lin Tian suppressed his inner excitement.
This is tailor-made for his system!
“So I need your help.” Kocho looked directly at Lin Tian, ​​”Your bone armor combined with my poison can create the best cover.”
Lin Tian pretended to be thinking, but in fact he had already decided to cooperate.
“I wonder what Miss Butterfly’s specific plans are?” he asked.
Shinobu Kocho took out a small purple bottle from her sleeve:
“This is a special toxin I prepared. It is colorless and odorless, and can cause people to suffer from hallucinations for a short period of time.”
She pushed the vial toward Lin Tian: “When your bone weapon is dipped in this toxin, the effect will be doubled.”
Lin Tian carefully took the vial.
[System Tips: Obtained the item “Butterfly Poison”, which can cause the enemy to fall into hallucination for 30 seconds. The effect is doubled when attached to bone armor]“What is the specific plan?” Lin Tian asked.
“The auction is a cover.” Butterfly Shinobu lowered her voice, “The real deal is in Shadow Garden.”
Lin Tian pretended to be surprised: “Shadow Garden?”
“It’s in the seventh district in the west of the city, not far from the auction venue.” Kocho Shinobu said, “Orochimaru has already reached a private deal with the seller.”
This is completely consistent with Hinata’s information!
“We need to intercept the ancient scroll before the transaction is completed.” said Kocho Shinobu.
“Excuse me, but Orochimaru is an S-level expert. Do we have a chance of winning?” Lin Tian asked deliberately.
A confident smile appeared on Shinobu Kocho’s face: “I am also S-rank, don’t forget.”
She stood up and moved her wrist gracefully: “Why don’t we test the coordination first?”
Lin Tian understood what she meant and nodded in agreement.
Shinobu Kocho brought Lin Tian to the backyard of Yaoyi Pavilion.
A spacious training ground, filled with various training equipment.
“I will launch a simple attack, and you try to block it with your bone armor.” said Shinobu Kocho.
She stepped back and drew a slender sword.
Lin Tian immediately activated the bone armor, covering his entire body.
“Are you ready?” asked Shinobu Kocho.
Lin Tian nodded: “Please.”
Almost at the same moment, Shinobu Kocho disappeared from the spot.
Lin Tian instinctively raised his right arm based on his perception.
“Ding!” A crisp collision sound.
The tip of Shinobu Kocho’s sword collided with Lin Tian’s bone armor gauntlet.
“Good reaction.” Shinobu Kocho praised softly.
[Butterfly Dance Collection Progress: 2/30]Before Lin Tian could respond, Shinobu Kocho disappeared again.
This time she appeared on Lin Tian’s left side, with the tip of the sword pointing at his throat.
Lin Tian quickly turned sideways and materialized a bone dagger to block.
“That’s good that you can keep up with my speed.” A hint of surprise flashed in Shinobu Kocho’s eyes.
In the next ten minutes, Shinobu Kocho kept changing positions to attack, while Lin Tian responded with all his strength.
Despite the obvious gap in strength, Lin Tian managed to keep up with Shinobu Kocho’s pace by relying on his system-enhanced reaction ability and intuition.
“That’s enough.” Shinobu Kocho put away her sword, her lips slightly raised, “It’s better than I thought.”
Lin Tian panted slightly, pretending to be a little tired.
In fact, his attention was entirely focused on collecting the energy fragments of Shinobu Kocho.
“You are very talented.” Shinobu Kocho approached Lin Tian, ​​”but you still need to improve your speed.”
She reached out and touched Lin Tian’s shoulder, feeling a hint of coolness at her fingertips.
[Butterfly Dance Collection Progress: 3/30]“I can teach you some skills.” Shinobu Kocho said, “but you need to trust me completely.”
Lin Tian pretended to be hesitant: “What technique?”
“Full Concentration Breathing Technique,” said Shinobu Kocho, “It will increase your speed and reaction speed by at least 30%.”
Isn’t this the core ability in Demon Slayer?
“I’ve heard about this. It’s very difficult to learn.” Lin Tian said deliberately.
Shinobu Kocho smiled slightly: “Yes for ordinary people. But you have a special physique, so you should be able to get started quickly.”
She took out a small box from her arms: “Take this first.”
Lin Tian opened the box and found a purple pill inside.
[System prompt: Special drug “Butterfly Breath” detected, harmless, can assist in learning the full concentration breathing method]After confirming that it was harmless, Lin Tian took the pill.
A cool feeling spread from the throat to the whole body, and breathing became unusually smooth.
“Next, adjust your breathing according to my instructions.” said Shinobu Kocho.
She stood behind Lin Tian, ​​with her hands gently placed on his waist:
“Breathe in, hold it, exhale slowly…”
The soft touch made Lin Tian distracted, but he forced himself to concentrate.
This is a great opportunity to gain S-level abilities!
Shinobu Kocho’s guidance was extremely professional. In less than half an hour, Lin Tian had mastered the basic essentials.
“Your talent is truly amazing.” Shinobu Kocho exclaimed.
[System prompt: Learn the basic skill “Introduction to Full Concentration Breathing Method”, temporarily increase speed by 15% and reaction speed by 20%, lasting for 10 minutes][Kohiko Shinobu family degree +5, current family degree 13/100]“Thank you Miss Butterfly for your guidance.” Lin Tian said sincerely.
At this moment, a crisp bell interrupted the training.
“Master, there are guests.” The girl from before appeared at the door.
Kocho Shinobu frowned slightly: “Who?”
28: The girl Hanabi appears! Just after getting rid of Kocho Shinobu and Kuchiki Byakuya, she is put into the test of the Hyuga family again (old version)
“It’s Lord Kuchiki Byakuya,” the girl said respectfully.
Byakuya Kuchiki!
Lin Tian’s heart beat faster.
The top powerhouse in “Bleach”, the legendary SS-level existence!
“Ask him to wait a moment.” Kocho Shinobu said, and turned to Lin Tian: “Our training has come to an end for the time being.”
She handed Lin Tian a purple card: “See you at the entrance of Shadow Garden at 8 o’clock tonight. This is the pass, don’t lose it.”
Lin Tian took the card and deliberately let his fingers touch Shinobu Kocho’s fingertips.
[Butterfly Dance Collection Progress: 4/30]“I will be there on time.” Lin Tian promised solemnly.
Shinobu Kocho nodded slightly and turned to leave.
The residual warmth from the touch of their fingertips made the energy fragments in Lin Tian’s body more active.
The girl guided Lin Tian out through the side door, avoiding the visitors in the main hall.
Before leaving, Lin Tian pretended to ask casually, “What is the matter that Master Kuchiki Byakuya came to see Miss Butterfly?”
The girl shook her head: “I don’t know, but many powerful people have come to visit the master recently.”
Lin Tian nodded and stopped asking questions.
Walking out of Yaoyi Pavilion, the sun is shining brightly.
Lin Tian took a deep breath and checked the system status:
[Newly acquired ability: Introduction to full-concentration breathing method][Ability collection progress:
-Healing Power (4/15)
-Butterfly Dance (4/30)
– Power of Death (1/25)】
Good progress!
It won’t be long before he can collect enough energy fragments to activate more abilities.
And that ancient scroll of the fusion method is the treasure he has always dreamed of!
Just as he was about to leave, Lin Tian suddenly felt a powerful aura sweeping over him.
He subconsciously turned around and caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing at the door of Yaoyi Pavilion.
He has long black hair, a face as cold as ice, and is wearing the uniform of a death captain and an exquisite hair crown on his head.
It’s Byakuya Kuchiki!
The sense of oppression could be clearly felt even from dozens of meters away.
Lin Tian quickly lowered his head and walked away quickly, pretending to be an ordinary passerby.
But he was sure that his presence had been noticed by Byakuya Kuchiki.
This is both a danger and an opportunity!
The energy fragments of SS-level strongmen must be more precious!
After leaving Yaoyi Pavilion, Lin Tian looked at the time.
It was almost afternoon, and Hinata Hiashi’s invitation was at four o’clock in the afternoon.
There are still two hours, enough time for him to make some preparations.
Lin Tian found a quiet teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, and began to sort out the information he had obtained today.
The auction is a cover, the real deal takes place in Shadow Garden.
Orochimaru has reached an agreement with the seller.
In addition to the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask, there is also an ancient scroll on the method of fusion.
Kuchiki Byakuya was also interested in this matter.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but smile.
The struggle among various forces is the best opportunity for him to gain the upper hand!
[System reminder: Schedule reminder, there is still 1 hour and 30 minutes until the meeting at Hyuga Mansion]After Lin Tian finished his tea, he tidied his appearance and walked towards the Hyuga family’s residence.
At the same time, he kept deducing various possible situations and response strategies in his mind.
The Hyuga family mansion is located in the northeast corner of the central city and is a group of quaint buildings.
The high walls and red gates are very impressive.
Lin Tian arrived at the door of the mansion, and two guards wearing white glasses immediately looked at him.
“Mr. Lin Tian, ​​right? Lord Rizu is waiting for you.” A guard said respectfully.
Lin Tian nodded and smiled: “Thank you for leading the way.”
As you enter the mansion, the quaint courtyard comes into view.
Ponds, rockery, neatly trimmed pines and cypresses… everything is in order, exuding the atmosphere of a noble family.
After passing through several corridors, the guard stopped in front of an elegant room:
“Master Rizu is inside, please come in.”
Lin Tian straightened his clothes and pushed the door open.
The room is dimly lit and filled with the aroma of tea.
A middle-aged man was sitting at the table, his chiseled face showing a serious expression.
His eyes – white eyes without pupils, seemed to be able to see through everything.
“Lin Tian, ​​I’ve heard of your great name for a long time.” Hinata Hiashi spoke, his voice steady and powerful.
“Thank you for the compliment, Lord Rizu.” Lin Tian responded modestly and sat down opposite Rizu.
A girl in a light green kimono appeared quietly and poured tea for the two.
Lin Tian took a glance and saw that it was Hyuga Hanabi – Hinata’s sister.
Hua Huo is about sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and she has the temperament of a beauty in her childishness.
Compared with her sister Hinata, her temperament is more capable and less gentle.
“I heard that you fought with my daughter Hinata?” Hiashi went straight to the point.
Lin Tian’s heart trembled, but his expression remained calm: “Yes, I was fortunate to fight with Miss Hinata in the selection competition and benefited a lot.”
The Ashigaru sipped his tea, “Hinata said your bone armor ability is very special, even the soft fist has trouble breaking it.”
Lin Tian smiled modestly: “It’s just good luck.”
Hiashi remained noncommittal, his eyes sharp, “I invited you here today because I wanted to see with my own eyes this young man who can fight my daughter to a draw.”
“It is my honor to receive the attention of Lord Rizu.” Lin Tian said sincerely.
The atmosphere in the room changed subtly.
Lin Tian knew that this was not a simple meeting, but a test.
The Hyuga clan has a respected status in the world of Naruto, and their Byakugan is an extremely powerful bloodline limit.
Being recognized by the Hyuga family would be very beneficial to his ability to collect Byakugan!
“I heard that you are interested in participating in the auction the day after tomorrow?” Rizu suddenly changed the subject.
Lin Tian was shocked, but he didn’t show it on his face: “I’m just a little curious.”
Rizu’s eyes were deep: “That auction is not simple.”
He motioned for Hanabi to leave, and after the door closed, he lowered his voice:
“Behind the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask, there are undercurrents of several major forces involved.”
Lin Tian listened attentively, this was another good opportunity to obtain intelligence.
“The Shadow Organization, the Death God Association, the remnants of the Hueco Mundo, and even the Demon Slayer Corps… are all acting in secret.” said Hiashi.
Lin Tian pretended to be puzzled: “Why do they care so much about a fragment?”
29: Danger is approaching! Hiashi, Hinata, and Neji, the terrifying conspiracy behind the three (old version)
“That fragment contains the method of cross-border fusion.”
Hiashi explained, “It is said that it can break the shackles of bloodline limit.”
Cross-border integration!
Lin Tian was very excited.
This is exactly the key technology needed for his god-level collection system!
“Lord Rizu is also interested in this?” Lin Tian probed carefully.
Hiashi nodded slightly: “Although the Hyuga clan is strong, the Byakugan still has limitations. If it can be integrated with other abilities…”
He looked at Lin Tian meaningfully and said, “Your bone armor ability may have a good compatibility with the White Eyes.”
Is this a hint of collaboration?
“I wonder what Lord Rizu means?” Lin Tian pretended to be confused.
Hiashi pulled out a small box from his sleeve, “This is the essence of the White Eyes, taken from a secret potion of my clan.”
He pushed the box towards Lin Tian: “Apply it to your bone armor, it can temporarily integrate the insight ability of the Byakugan.”
Lin Tian took the box carefully.
[System prompt: Obtained the item “White Eye Essence”, temporarily improves the bone armor’s perception ability by 30%, lasting for 2 hours]“Thank you, Lord Rizu.” Lin Tian thanked sincerely.
“This is just a preliminary attempt.” Hiashi said, “If the effect is good, the Hyuga family is willing to cooperate with you further.”
As they were talking, soft footsteps were heard outside the door.
“Father, tea is ready.” It was Hinata’s voice.
“Come in.” Hiashi responded.
The door opened and Hinata walked in with a tray of refreshments.
She was wearing her family’s traditional light blue dress today, which made her skin look as white as snow.
Hinata was obviously startled when she saw Lin Tian, ​​and her fair face flushed:
“Lin…Lin Tianjun, you are here.”
“Hello, Miss Hinata.” Lin Tian responded with a smile.
[System prompt: Hyuga Hinata’s family degree +2, current family degree 57/100]Hinata gently put down the refreshments, her movements extremely graceful.
When she bent down, the faintly visible curves made Lin Tian take a few more glances.
“Hinata, show Mr. Lin around our training grounds,” Hiashi suddenly said.
Hinata’s eyes widened slightly, then she nodded, “Yes, father.”
“Lord Rizu is too polite.” Lin Tian stood up to express his gratitude.
Hiashi smiled faintly, “Hinata always said that your fighting skills were outstanding. I want to see them too.”
Lin Tian followed Hinata out of the elegant room and walked towards the training ground.
In the corridor, the two walked side by side, and the atmosphere was subtle.
“Mr. Lin…was yesterday’s information useful?” Hinata asked in a low voice.
“Very useful, thanks to Hinata.” Lin Tian deliberately moved closer and lowered his voice.
At a close distance, Hinata’s delicate scent was more obvious.
“I…I found some more information.” Hinata’s voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, “Orochimaru sent someone to monitor you.”
Lin Tian’s heart trembled: “When did it happen?”
“It started since you left the Bankai Cafeteria,” Hinata explained, her Byakugan slightly gleaming, “I’ve been using my Byakugan to monitor your safety.”
This kind of concern made Lin Tian feel warm in his heart.
“Thank you, Hinata.” Lin Tian said sincerely, and took her hand.
Hinata’s cheeks flushed but she didn’t pull her hand away.
[Byakugan weakness detection ability improvement: LV.4→LV.5][System prompt: Hyuga Hinata’s family degree +3, current family degree 60/100][Trigger special event: clan awakening conditions met! ]60 points of family degree!
This means that Hinata has met the conditions for awakening her clan!
[System prompt: Do you want to convert Hyuga Hinata into a family member? After conversion, you will be able to share the basic abilities of the Byakugan, but you must complete the awakening ceremony within 24 hours]Lin Tian chose without hesitation: “Yes.”
[System prompt: The family awakening procedure has started. Please complete the awakening ceremony within 24 hours][Ritual requirements: Drink a special potion with the target under the moonlight and blend energy]Hinata seemed to sense something and her face turned even redder:
“Lin Tianjun…your hands…are so warm.”
Lin Tian smiled and let go of his hand: “Let’s go, don’t let Master Rizu wait anxiously.”
The training ground is a spacious courtyard with a special cushioned floor.
Several young Hyuga clan members are training in gentle fist.
When they saw Hinata and Lin Tian, ​​they stopped what they were doing and saluted.
“This is our family’s basic training ground,” Hinata introduced, “Father wants to see your bone armor abilities.”
Lin Tian nodded: “Happy to show you.”
He walked to the center of the field and took a deep breath.
The bone armor ability was activated instantly, and the jade-white bone armor covered the entire body.
The pure and flawless texture made the Hyuga people who were watching exclaim in amazement.
“So beautiful…” Hinata exclaimed softly.
At this moment, a figure rushed towards Lin Tian like lightning.
“Be careful!” Hinata exclaimed.
Lin Tian had anticipated this and dodged sideways.
The man’s attack missed, so he quickly adjusted his stance and attacked again.
He was a young Hyuga clan member, with fighting spirit in his eyes.
“Brother Neji!” Hinata shouted.
Hyuga Neji!
The genius ninja in “Naruto”, Hinata’s cousin!
There was a gleam in Lin Tian’s eyes.
Another important role!
Neji’s soft fist was extremely powerful, and each strike went straight to the vital points.
But Lin Tian’s bone armor was extremely strong, and coupled with the system’s enhanced reaction ability, Ningci’s attacks were unlikely to be effective.
“Interesting defense,” Neji commented calmly, “But the Gentle Fist is designed to break defenses!”
He formed seals with his hands: “White eyes!”
The blood vessels in the eyes are prominent and the white part of the eye is fully exposed.
Neji’s attack frequency suddenly increased, and the wind from his palms whistled.
Lin Tian did not retreat but advanced, with a bone spear in his hand.
The gun collided with the palm, making a crisp sound.
The two fought for dozens of rounds, but neither won.
“That’s enough.”
The sound of Japanese football came from outside the field.
Ningci immediately retracted his attack and retreated, nodding slightly to Lin Tian as a greeting.
Lin Tian also took back the bone armor and returned the gift.
[System prompt: Trigger battle collection, obtain Hyuga Neji energy fragments x 2][Byakugan weakness detection ability improvement: LV.5→LV.6]Rizu walked to the center of the field, his face calm, “Not bad, Mr. Lin.”
He turned to Neji, “How do you feel?”
Neji pondered for a moment: “The defense is extremely strong, almost invulnerable. But the means of attack are relatively simple.”
Lin Tian pretended to be ashamed: “Brother Ningci’s evaluation is very accurate. I am indeed lacking in attacking skills.”
Rizu nodded with satisfaction: “It’s good to be humble, but there’s no need to belittle yourself.”
He gestured, “That’s enough for today. Hinata, show me around.”
After leaving the training ground, Hinata whispered to Lin Tian:
“Lin Tianjun, father has a very good impression of you.”
Lin Tian smiled: “Thanks to Hinata’s introduction.”
Arriving at the gate of the mansion, Hinata hesitated:
“Are you going to the auction tomorrow night?”
30: Sister Karin pours tea hotly! She is dragged into Orochimaru’s trap in a blink of an eye (old version)
“Yes, there are some things that need to be dealt with.” Lin Tian nodded.
Hinata whispered, “Be careful of Orochimaru… and, tomorrow night when the moon is full, I… I will wait for you at Jingyue Lake.”
After she said this, her cheeks flushed, and she quickly turned around and ran back to the mansion.
Mirror Moon Lake…
It’s a perfect place to complete the clan awakening ceremony!
Saying goodbye to the Hyuga residence, Lin Tian checked the time.
It was already six o’clock in the evening, and there were still two hours until the appointment at “Youye Pavilion”.
He found a restaurant to have a simple meal and sorted out the day’s harvest.
Fragments of the abilities of S-rank powerhouse Shinobu Kocho, Rukia Kuchiki’s power of the god of death, fragments of the Byakugan of the Hyuga family…
In just one day, his collection progress increased by leaps and bounds.
And tonight, we will go to Orochimaru’s “Night Pavilion”.
Tomorrow is a crucial day – he has to meet up with Inoue Orihime during the day, attend the auction and intercept the ancient scroll of fusion at night, and then complete the clan awakening ceremony with Hinata.
Lin Tian took a deep breath, feeling the growing strength in his body.
No one knows the secret of his golden finger, which is his greatest advantage.
Those strong men only saw the special ability of his bone armor, but did not know that this was just the tip of the iceberg.
When he collects more power fragments and fuses them into more powerful powers, no one will be invincible in this anime world!
After finishing his meal, Lin Tian tidied his clothes and walked towards the “Youye Pavilion”.
The sky gradually darkened and the stars began to appear.
“Youye Pavilion” is located in a remote area in the west of the city. It is an ancient three-story building, completely black with a dark red lantern hanging in front of the door.
Lin Tian looked calm, but his heart was full of vigilance.
Orochimaru, the legendary villain in “Naruto”, an S-class warrior.
This person is insidious, cunning, ambitious, and particularly obsessed with collecting various ninjutsu and bloodline limits.
Lin Tian gently stroked the shielding earrings on his chest to make sure Tsunade’s protection was still in effect.
“Who is coming?” the guard at the door asked coldly.
Lin Tian showed the black nameplate: “I am here at the invitation.”
The guard’s expression changed, and he immediately saluted respectfully: “My lord, you have been waiting for a long time. Please follow me.”
Follow the guard through a dimly lit corridor with eerie snake-shaped decorations hanging on the walls.
The air was filled with a faint smell of herbs, which made people feel heavy in the head.
[System prompt: Trace anesthetic components detected, automatically filtered, no impact]Lin Tian secretly thanked his lucky stars for the system protection, otherwise it would be easy to be attacked in this environment.
The guard stopped in front of a spacious room on the second floor.
Lin Tian pushed the door open and walked in.
The room was luxuriously decorated with flickering candlelight and a mural of a giant snake swallowing the sky painted on the wall.
A red-haired woman was sitting at a round mahogany table in the center.
The long fiery red hair was like a waterfall, and the red eyes behind the lenses were flashing with sharp light.
She has a well-proportioned figure, and the black tights highlight her perfect curves.
It’s Xianglin!
“Mr. Lin Tian, ​​we finally meet.” Xiang Lin smiled slightly, her voice soft but piercing.
Lin Tian’s eyes lit up, Xiang Lin was one of the training targets of his clan!
“It turns out to be Miss Xianglin. I’ve long heard of your name.” Lin Tian bowed gracefully.
“Please take a seat.” Xianglin pointed to the seat opposite, “My master admires your abilities very much.”
Lin Tian calmly took his seat: “I wonder if Lord Orochimaru has any advice for me?”
Xianglin chuckled and opened her red lips slightly: “You are very brave to call him by his name directly.”
She stood up and poured a cup of tea for Lin Tian. Her movements were graceful, but she deliberately bent down in front of him to show off her seductive figure.
“Don’t be nervous. Lord Orochimaru has something to do tonight, so I will be the one to receive him.” Karin said.
[System prompt: Xianglin’s family degree +2, current family degree 37/100]Lin Tian took a sip of the tea and found it was non-toxic, so he relaxed his vigilance:
“Ms. Karin, why are you looking for me on behalf of Orochimaru?”
Xianglin raised her hand to adjust her temples, her movements charming: “Your bone armor ability… is very special.”
This sentence again!
Lin Tian laughed secretly in his heart.
These people only see the surface but don’t know his real secret.
“Lord Orochimaru has unique research on special abilities.” Karin continued, “He believes that your bone armor ability has extremely high fusion potential.”
Fusion!
This is the third time I’ve heard this word today.
“Fusion?” Lin Tian pretended to be confused.
Xianglin leaned forward slightly, with a strange light flashing in her red eyes:
“Lord Orochimaru has mastered a special fusion technique that allows him to combine different abilities to create a whole new power.”
She licked her lips and said, “Your bone armor is of extremely high purity and is the most ideal carrier.”
Lin Tian was overjoyed in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface: “So, Lord Orochimaru wants to cooperate with me?”
“That’s right.” Karin nodded, “There’s an item at the auction tomorrow night that will take the fusion technique a step further.”
“Fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask?” Lin Tian asked.
There was a hint of surprise in Xianglin’s eyes: “No, it’s the ancient scroll that appeared with the fragments.”
Lin Tian pretended to be enlightened: “So that’s it.”
Xiang Lin stood up and slowly walked to Lin Tian, ​​deliberately getting very close to him:
“Lord Orochimaru is willing to offer a generous reward in exchange for your assistance.”
She leaned over and whispered in Lin Tian’s ear, her breath brushing against his ear:
“Including me.”
[System prompt: Xianglin’s family degree +5, current family degree 42/100]Lin Tian’s heart beat faster, but he quickly calmed down.
This was obviously Orochimaru’s plan, using beauty to win him over.
But for Lin Tian, ​​this was exactly what he wanted!
“Lord Orochimaru is so generous.” Lin Tian smiled, “However, I need to know the specific plan.”
Xianglin stood up with satisfaction, but was in no hurry to distance herself:
“There will be a secret transaction at Shadow Gardens at eight o’clock tomorrow night. Lord Orochimaru will purchase the ancient scroll.”
She took out an exquisite map from her bosom: “This is the detailed layout of the transaction location.”
Lin Tian took the map and deliberately touched Xianglin’s fingers.
[System prompt: Touch the target to obtain 1 incense energy fragment][Sharingan Perception Collection Progress: 1/20]“What do I need to do?” Lin Tian asked.
“At the critical moment, activate your bone armor ability.” Xianglin explained, “Form a special energy field to block the surrounding perception.”
Lin Tian frowned: “I’m not sure if I can do it.”
Karin smiled mysteriously: “Don’t worry, I will help you.”
She took out a small bottle from her collar, which contained red liquid:
“This is my blood essence, a fortified version. Different from the one I gave you before, this one is specially prepared for tomorrow night.”
Lin Tian took it carefully with a complicated expression.
[System prompt: Obtained the item “Karin Blood Essence·Modified”, temporarily increases the strength of bone armor by 80%, lasts for 1 hour, and also obtains the basic perception ability of the Sharingan]“Thank you, Miss Xianglin.” Lin Tian thanked sincerely.
This is a powerful gain!
Xianglin smiled charmingly: “With this, your bone armor will have enough power.”
She approached Lin Tian again: “See you at the east gate of Shadow Garden at 8 o’clock tomorrow night. Don’t be late.”
The fragrant breath made Lin Tian feel distracted.
31: Karin throws out the temptation of ninjutsu, and Kabuto Yakushi reveals the secret of bone armor (old version)
“I will be there on time.” Lin Tian promised.
Xianglin nodded with satisfaction, stood up and walked towards the door:
“Come with me, I’ll show you around the drug research lab.”
Following Karin through the corridor, we came to a laboratory on the third floor.
The space is spacious and filled with various bottles, jars and strange instruments.
A white-haired boy was operating some kind of instrument.
“This is Kabuto Yakushi, Lord Orochimaru’s right-hand man.” Karin introduced.
Dou raised his head, his glasses reflecting a cold light: “Mr. Lin Tian, ​​I have long heard of your great name.”
Lin Tian nodded and said, “Yakushi Kabuto, the genius medical ninja in Naruto.”
Kabuto smiled slightly: “It seems that you know us very well.”
“I’ve heard a little bit about it.” Lin Tian said modestly.
Dou put down the equipment in his hand and walked closer to Lin Tian:
“I’m very curious about your bone armor’s ability. It’s said to be extremely pure and has almost no side effects?”
This question again!
Lin Tian responded calmly: “Maybe it’s because of my special physique.”
Kabuto gave him a meaningful look: “Maybe we could do a little test?”
Lin Tian became alert: “What test?”
Karin interrupted, “Don’t be nervous, I’m just measuring the fluctuation of your ability.”
Dou took out a small instrument: “This can analyze the purity of the ability and the potential for fusion.”
Lin Tian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Dou activated the instrument and a blue light swept across Lin Tian’s body.
[System prompt: Analytical scan detected, the system has activated shielding, and only the surface information of the bone armor can be detected from the outside]The instrument made a “beeping” sound and complex data appeared on the screen.
Dou frowned and looked at the data: “Strange, the purity index is beyond the scale range…”
He looked up at Lin Tian, ​​with a hint of surprise in his eyes: “Your bone armor ability… is extraordinary.”
Lin Tian pretended to be confused: “What’s the problem?”
“No problem, quite the opposite.” Kabuto pushed up his glasses, “Your ability is an ideal carrier for fusion.”
Xianglin nodded aside: “I’ll tell you.”
Lin Tian pretended to be modest: “Thank you for the compliment.”
But I was secretly happy in my heart.
These people only saw that his bone armor was special, but they didn’t know that there was a god-level collection system operating behind it.
Kabuto put away the equipment: “With your help, tomorrow night’s operation will surely be successful.”
After the visit, Xianglin personally saw Lin Tian off.
At the entrance of “Youye Pavilion”, Xianglin suddenly grabbed Lin Tian’s hand:
“One more thing. Lord Orochimaru said that if the operation is successful tomorrow night, he is willing to teach you a special ninjutsu.”
Lin Tian’s eyes lit up: “What ninjutsu?”
“The Shadow Snake Hand.” Xianglin said softly, “It can make your bone armor more flexible and changeable.”
[System prompt: Get the mission “Snake Shadow Covenant”][Description: Assist Orochimaru in obtaining the Fusion Scroll][Reward: Shadow Snake Hand Ninjutsu, Karin’s Family Level +15]Lin Tian nodded: “I’ll consider it.”
Xianglin let go of her hand, but did not forget to gently stroke Lin Tian’s palm with her fingertips:
“Don’t let me down, Lin Tianjun.”
[Sharingan Perception Collection Progress: 2/20][System prompt: Xianglin’s family degree +3, current family degree 45/100]After bidding farewell to Xianglin, Lin Tian left the “Youye Pavilion” and strolled in the night.
He reviewed today’s gains and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
Shinobu Kocho, Rukia Kuchiki, Hinata Hyuga, Neji Hyuga, Karin
In just one day, so many ability fragments were collected!
More importantly, we obtained key intelligence for tomorrow night’s operation.
Tsunade asked him to go to the official auction.
Butterfly Shinobu asked him to go to the east gate of “Shadow Garden”.
Karin also asked him to go to the east gate of “Shadow Garden”.
Erina Nakiri made an appointment at the back door of Bankai Shokudo.
Hinata waited for him to go to Jingyue Lake to complete the family ceremony.
Everybody was taking advantage of him, and he was taking advantage of everybody.
No one knows his true secrets and plans.
Lin Tian walked to a secluded alley, confirmed that no one was around, and opened the system panel:
[Level: C-level (about to break through B-level)][System Level: LV.2 (Progress: 72/100)]-White Eye Weakness Insight (LV.6)

-Incense: 45/100

– Kocho Shinobu: 13/100
– Rukia Kuchiki: 5/100
【Special Mission:
1. Family Awakening: Complete the Awakening Ceremony with Hyuga Hinata within 24 hours
2. Butterfly’s Promise: Assist Shinobu Kocho to capture the fusion scroll
3. Snake Shadow Covenant: Assist Orochimaru in obtaining the Fusion Scroll]“It’s really exciting.” Lin Tian said to himself, “All forces want to obtain the fusion scroll.”
He was thinking about how to gain the most benefit from this game.
No one knows that his system is the key to the real fusion method.
After returning to his residence, Lin Tian began to make detailed plans for tomorrow.
Meet Inoue Orihime during the day to increase your healing ability collection.
At night, he dealt with the forces from all four directions at the same time and obtained the fusion scroll.
Finally, he and Hinata completed the clan awakening ceremony.
The plan was perfect and impeccable.
Lin Tian lay on the bed, closed his eyes and meditated, looking forward to tomorrow’s excitement.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
In his dream, he has become the king of the world, with countless abilities flowing through his fingertips…
The early morning sun shone through the gaps in the curtains. Lin Tian stretched himself, feeling full of energy.
The system voice sounded in my mind:
[Schedule reminder: 9:00 a.m., meet with Inoue Orihime at the Chengnan Lingzhifang][Remaining time until the clan awakening ceremony: 18 hours]Lin Tian raised the corners of his mouth. Today will be a crucial day.
He quickly washed up and checked his equipment:
– Shinobu Kocho’s “Butterfly Poison”
– Karin’s “Blood Essence – Modified”
-Hinata Hiashi’s “Baiyan Essence”
-Tsunade’s shield earrings
-Hidden Runes purchased from the system mall
Perfect!
Before leaving his residence, Lin Tian activated the system’s ability analysis function:
[Bone armor strength: 93% (close to B grade)][Perception ability: 76%][Reaction speed: 82%]【Battle Skills: 79%】
If he collects some more ability fragments, he will be able to break through to Level B!
At exactly nine o’clock, Lin Tian appeared at the door of “Lingzhifang” on time.
Inoue Orihime was already waiting there. Today she was wearing a light yellow dress and looked like an angel in the sunlight.
Seeing Lin Tian, ​​Zhiji smiled brightly: “Lin Tianjun, good morning!”
That pure smile seems to be able to purify all the haze.
“Orihime, you are even more beautiful today.” Lin Tian praised sincerely.
Zhiji blushed: “Lin Tianjun is joking again…”
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +2, current family degree 42/100]32: Rukia’s words “tomorrow and beyond” lead to a shocking change in the auction (old version)
“Where do you want to go today?” Lin Tian asked.
Orihime’s eyes sparkled with excitement, “Let’s go to the Angel Medicine Garden! There are special healing flowers there.”
Healing Flowers! This will definitely help with collecting fragments of Orihime’s healing abilities!
“Good idea, let’s go.” Lin Tian agreed readily.
The two walked through the commercial district in the south of the city and came to a hidden garden.
At the entrance is a white arch with a wing pattern carved on it.
“This is a place dedicated to the cultivation of healing plants,” Orihime explained, awe in her tone.
Entering the garden, the fragrance is overwhelming.
All kinds of strange flowers are blooming, some emitting faint light, and some dancing in the wind.
“So beautiful…” Lin Tian exclaimed sincerely.
Orihime smiled as she walked towards a patch of silver flowers, “These are Moonlight Tears. They enhance healing abilities.”
She carefully reached out and touched the petals, and the flower immediately emitted a soft white light.
Lin Tian secretly activated the system to speed up data collection.
“Can I try it?” Lin Tian asked.
Orihime nodded, “Of course, but do it gently.”
Lin Tian reached out to touch the petals, and at the same time quietly touched Orihime’s fingers.
[Healing Power Collection Progress: 5/15][Environmental bonus: Angel Medicine Garden amplification, collection efficiency +30%]“The flowers here are so magical.” Lin Tian exclaimed.
Orihime’s eyes sparkled, “Yeah! I fell in love with this place the first time I came here.”
She led Lin Tian through the garden and introduced various healing plants.
The sunlight shone on her long orange hair, like a flowing golden waterfall.
Lin Tian couldn’t help but look at the graceful figure a few more times.
“Mr. Lin, this way!” Orihime suddenly waved excitedly.
Lin Tian walked over and saw a field of blue flowers.
“This is an angel’s tear. It’s very precious.” Orihime explained, “It is said that it can enhance the rebound ability of Shieldshun Rikka.”
Lin Tian’s eyes lit up: “What a suitable flower for you.”
Orihime’s cheeks blushed slightly: “I want to collect some and make a potion…”
She gently picked a few flowers and carefully put them into the small basket she carried with her.
Lin Tian deliberately moved closer: “Do you need help?”
Their shoulders touched and Orihime visibly flinched, but she didn’t move away.
[Healing Power Collection Progress: 6/15]While the two were busy, a clear voice came:
“Orihime? It’s really you!”
Turning around, they saw a black-haired girl walking towards them.
He was wearing a black death suit, with neat short hair, and looked very heroic.
“Kuchiki Rukia!” Orihime shouted in surprise.
Another important character in “Death”!
“What a coincidence!” Orihime said happily, “Rukia, this is Lin Tian.”
Lucia nodded to Lin Tian: “We met yesterday.”
She turned to Orihime, “I’m here to gather some herbs and give them to Manager Urahara for research.”
Lin Tian keenly captured the key information.
Kisuke Urahara!
The genius inventor in “Bleach”, former captain of the 12th Division!
Another important person appears in the intelligence!
“What is Manager Urahara researching recently?” Lin Tian asked casually.
Rukia hesitated: “A power fusion technique.”
Fusion again!
It seems that this issue has indeed attracted the attention of various parties.
“That sounds interesting.” Lin Tian nodded, “I wonder if I can get a chance to visit Mr. Urahara?”
Rukia gave him a meaningful look: “Maybe there will be a chance, especially after tomorrow.”
After tomorrow?
Lin Tian immediately understood the meaning of her words.
The situation after the auction will be very different!
The three of them spent some time together in the garden collecting herbs.
Lin Tian cleverly created contact opportunities and continuously collected energy fragments.
[Healing Power Collection Progress: 7/15][Death Power Collection Progress: 2/25]Near noon, Rukia said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, she said to Lin Tian mysteriously: “Be careful tonight, many people are eyeing that thing.”
Lin Tian nodded slightly: “Thank you for the reminder.”
[System prompt: Kuchiki Rukia’s family degree +3, current family degree 8/100]“Rukia has become so mysterious,” Orihime said curiously.
Lin Tian smiled: “Maybe the Death Team has some mission.”
It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.
“Orihime, let’s have lunch together.” Lin Tian suggested.
Orihime nodded happily, “Sure! I know a great restaurant nearby.”
The two came to a small shop called “Angel Tea House”.
The decoration is warm and the layout is exquisite, quite in the style of “Food Wars!”.
After they were seated, Orihime recommended a few of their signature dishes.
“The healing food here is famous,” Orihime said with a smile, “It can restore physical strength and spirit.”
Lin Tian deliberately asked: “How is it compared to Orihime’s bento?”
Orihime blushed immediately: “How can it compare to that…My cooking is very ordinary…”
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +3, current family degree 45/100]“In my opinion, Orihime’s cooking is the most attentive.” Lin Tian said sincerely.
During the meal, Lin Tian skillfully guided the topic and obtained more information.
“Have you heard any interesting news recently, Orihime?”
Orihime thought for a moment, “Hmm… I heard that tonight’s auction is very unusual. Even Soul Society sent people.”
Lin Tian nodded: “Indeed, it seems that many powerful people are interested in the fragment of the Arrancar King’s mask.”
Orihime suddenly lowered her voice: “Lin Tianjun, I heard from Rukia that…the fragment may be related to the Houyu.”
Collapse of jade!
The supreme artifact in the world of “Death”!
“Really?” Lin Tian pretended to be surprised, “That’s really an important item.”
33: Danger is approaching! Erina’s eyes are seductive, leading you into the abyss step by step (old version)
Orihime nodded, “So I’m worried…it could be dangerous tonight.”
She pursed her lips: “Lin Tianjun…will you go to the auction?”
Lin Tian hesitated for a moment and decided to answer honestly: “Yes, there are some things that need to be dealt with.”
Orihime’s eyes flashed with worry, “Well…please be careful then.”
She took out a small bottle from her bag:
“This is a special potion I made using the Angel’s Tears I collected today. It can heal injuries in an emergency.”
Lin Tian took the vial and touched the back of Zhiji’s hand with his fingers.
[Healing Power Collection Progress: 8/15][System prompt: Obtained the item “Angel’s Tears Potion”, which can instantly restore 70% of light and moderate injuries, and has a 30% effect on severe injuries]“Thank you, Orihime,” Lin Tian said sincerely.
Orihime looked up, concern in her eyes, “I…I hope Lin Tianjun is okay.”
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +5, current family degree 50/100]After lunch, Lin Tian sent Zhiji back to her residence.
When saying goodbye, Orihime suddenly said, “Tomorrow… tomorrow can I see Lin Tianjun again?”
That expectant look warmed Lin Tian’s heart.
“Of course, I’ll come to see you tomorrow morning.” Lin Tian promised with a smile.
Orihime nodded happily and waved goodbye.
After returning to his residence, Lin Tian began to make final preparations for the evening’s operation.
He opened the system panel and checked today’s harvest:
[Level: C-level (95%, about to break through B-level)][System Level: LV.2 (Progress: 73/100)]-Healing Power (8/15)
– Death Power (2/25)
– Inoue Orihime: 50/100
– Rukia Kuchiki: 8/100
The healing ability collection progress is more than halfway!
Coupled with the fact that his strength was about to break through to Class B, tonight’s action was more certain.
Lin Tian began to sort out his plans for tonight:
At six o’clock, meet Erina Nakiri at the back door of Bankai Dining Hall.
At seven o’clock, go to the official auction, ostensibly in response to Tsunade’s request.
At eight o’clock, he secretly went to the “Shadow Garden” to meet up with Shinobu Kocho and Karin.
At ten o’clock, he and Hinata completed the clan awakening ceremony at Jingyue Lake.
Every step needs to be precisely controlled and no mistakes can be made.
Lin Tian took a deep breath and began to meditate to accumulate energy.
The system was quietly operating within his body, filtering and purifying the collected energy fragments.
Before six o’clock in the evening, Lin Tian changed into a black suit and quietly left his residence.
Outside the back door of Wanjie Canteen, Lin Tian appeared on time.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the quaint wooden door, adding a touch of mystery to this secret meeting.
Not long after, the door opened gently and Erina Nakiri walked out.
Tonight she changed her usual chef attire and wore a dark red evening gown with her long golden hair tied into an elegant bun.
The perfect curves were faintly visible under the evening dress.
Lin Tian couldn’t help but take a few more glances and exclaimed: “Ms. Erina is particularly charming tonight.”
Nakiri Erina snorted, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly: “Don’t talk nonsense, time is limited.”
She handed Lin Tian an exquisite little box: “This is my special sensory enhancement dish, which can temporarily improve the acuity of the five senses.”
Lin Tian opened the box and an enticing aroma hit him.
There are a few exquisite small dots in the box, shaped like pills.
[System prompt: Special food “Sensory Enhancement Cuisine” detected, perception +25% after consumption, lasts for 3 hours]“Thank you, Miss Erina.” Lin Tian sincerely thanked and then tasted a piece.
It melts in your mouth, with rich flavors, and a warm current immediately spreads from your throat to your whole body.
All five senses suddenly became extremely sharp, and even the chirping of insects in the distance became clear.
“The effect is good.” Lin Tian exclaimed.
Nakiri Erina raised her chin proudly: “Of course, this is my masterpiece.”
That confident look adds a bit of charm.
[System prompt: Nakiri Erina’s family degree +3, current family degree 26/100]“The plan has changed.” Nakiri Erina lowered her voice, “The auction is just a cover, the real transaction is in Shadow Garden.”
Lin Tian pretended to be surprised: “Really?”
Nakiri Erina nodded: “I heard that the fusion scroll is very special. It can make the ingredients blend into a whole new taste and effect.”
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement: “As a chef, I must have it!”
Lin Tian smiled secretly, it turned out that this was where Erina Nakiri’s interest in the ancient scroll lay.
The method of fusion has different values ​​in the eyes of different people, but to him, it is the key to system upgrade!
“How to get to the Shadow Garden?” Lin Tian asked.
Nakiri Erina took out a golden badge from her chest: “This is a VIP pass. It allows direct access to the inner field.”
She handed Lin Tian a map: “Meet at this location at eight o’clock.”
Lin Tian put away the map and took her hand: “We will be there on time.”
The touch was so soft and warm that you didn’t want to let go.
[System prompt: Touch the target to obtain Erina Nakiri energy fragment x 1][Cooking Tips Collection Progress: 1/20]Nakiri Erina’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly pulled her hand back: “Don’t push your luck!”
But the shyness in her eyes betrayed her.
[System prompt: Nakiri Erina’s family degree +2, current family degree 28/100]34: Crazy! Erina throws out the explosive news, and Kocho Shinobu uses the drug again (old version)
“Oh, there’s one more thing.”
Nakiri Erina lowered her voice again, “I heard that someone is preparing to challenge the Ten Elites at the auction.”
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows: “Ten Outstanding People?”
“The Ten Elites of Totsuki Academy, which is controlled by the Nakiri family.” Nakiri Erina explained, “Four of them will be present tonight, including Ryo Hayama who is one of them.”
Lin Tian’s heart moved.
Top Characters in Food Wars!
Another great opportunity to collect abilities!
“Why are they here?” Lin Tian asked.
“I am also interested in the fusion of ancient scrolls.” Erina Nakiri said, “The culinary world is also studying cross-border fusion technology.”
She checked the time: “I have to go first, I need to make some preparations.”
Before leaving, Nakiri Erina said meaningfully: “Lin Tian, ​​it might be very chaotic tonight…be careful.”
[System prompt: Nakiri Erina’s family degree +2, current family degree 30/100]Watching Erina Nakiri leave, Lin Tian raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Another target to collect fragments!
The official auction will start on time at 7 o’clock, located in the “Dark Moon Pavilion” in the seventh district in the west of the city.
Lin Tian changed into a formal dress and came to the auction venue holding the invitation letter provided by Tsunade.
“Dark Moon Pavilion” is a five-story black building shaped like a crescent moon and brightly lit.
There were several security guards in black suits standing at the door. They had a strong aura and were at least C-level in strength.
Lin Tian presented the invitation letter and passed the inspection smoothly.
Entering the lobby, the luxurious decoration is dazzling.
Crystal chandeliers, marble floors, and various precious works of art hanging on the walls.
Lin Tian scanned the entire room, and saw many familiar figures.
In the distance, Byakuya Kuchiki was dressed in a black suit, his temperament as cold as ice.
In the corner, Shinobu Kocho changed into a purple dress, looking beautiful and charming.
Next to the bar, Shihouin Yoruichi and Matsumoto Rangiku were talking in low voices.
The most eye-catching person was Tsunade in the center of the hall.
A green long dress shows off her plump figure to the fullest.
With her long golden hair loose and fiery red lips, her every move exudes the aura of a queen.
Tsunade seemed to notice Lin Tian’s gaze and nodded slightly.
Lin Tian understood that this was a hint for him to act according to the plan.
[System prompt: Tsunade’s family degree +2, current family degree 47/100]Lin Tian moved gracefully among the crowd, gathering information skillfully.
“I heard that the finale item this time was discovered from deep within Hueco Mundo.”
“It is said that the fragments of the Arrancar King’s mask can increase the power of the Hollow.”
“No, the truly precious thing is the ancient scroll.”
Lin Tian sipped the champagne as if nothing had happened, but his ears were perked up.
All the information points to the same conclusion – the real highlight is in the “Shadow Garden”.
At 7:30, the auction officially began.
The host is a tall beauty with long purple hair and charming eyes.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this secret auction.”
Her voice was melodious, “We have prepared many treasures tonight. The finale is, of course, the fragment of the legendary Arrancar King’s mask.”
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
Lin Tian noticed that Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi were not present.
Obviously, they had headed straight for the “Shadow Garden”.
The first few lots sold out quickly, and they were all rare magic props and precious materials.
Lin Tian pretended to be interested in the auction, but in fact he was always keeping an eye on the time.
It’s 7:50 and there are only ten minutes left until the appointment at Shadow Garden.
At this moment, a waiter quietly approached Lin Tian:
“Mr. Lin, someone asked me to pass this to you.”
A small note was stuffed into Lin Tian’s hand.
When I opened it, there was only a short line of words on it:
“Exit 7, someone is meeting us. – Butterfly”
News about Shinobu Kocho!
Lin Tian nodded calmly and began to move towards Exit 7.
Before leaving, he caught a glimpse of Tsunade talking to Byakuya Kuchiki, who seemed not to notice his departure.
Exit 7 is an unassuming side door that leads to a back alley.
Lin Tian pushed the door open and saw a familiar figure standing in the night.
“Mr. Lin, please follow me.” It was the girl from Yaoyi Pavilion.
The girl led Lin Tian through several complicated alleys and finally came to a wall.
“Climb up, and the Shadow Garden is just opposite. The master is waiting for you at the east gate.”
The girl said this and disappeared into the darkness.
Lin Tian easily climbed over the wall and landed in a dense bush.
The “Shadow Garden” is worthy of its name, a private garden surrounded by high walls.
Under the moonlight, various strange plants emit faint light.
Lin Tian followed the instructions on the map and moved quietly towards the east gate.
Along the way, he could feel hidden spying eyes.
But with Tsunade’s shielding earrings and the protection of the system, these surveillances posed no threat to him.
There was a small pavilion at the east gate, and Shinobu Kocho was already waiting there.
She changed her outfit tonight, wearing a black tight combat suit that showed off her perfect figure.
The long purple hair is tied into a high ponytail, adding a bit of heroic spirit.
“On time.” Shinobu Kocho nodded with satisfaction.
Lin Tian smiled slightly: “I dare not keep Miss Butterfly waiting for too long.”
Shinobu Kocho handed Lin Tian a mask: “Put it on and cover your identity.”
The mask is in the shape of a butterfly, matching her hair accessory.
Lin Tian put on the mask and asked, “Where is Miss Xianglin?”
“What?” Shinobu Kocho frowned slightly.
Lin Tian immediately realized that he had made a mistake and said, “I mean, what about the other collaborators?”
35: The auction exploded and the four beauties fought against Orochimaru and Grimmjow (old version)
Kocho Shinobu’s sharp eyes swept over Lin Tian: “There are only two of us.”
She lowered her voice, “The transaction is taking place at the central pavilion. Orochimaru is already here.”
Lin Tian nodded, silently calculating in his mind.
Karin asked him to meet her at the East Gate, and so did Shinobu Kocho.
The two seemed unaware of each other’s plans.
This is his chance!
“What’s the plan?” Lin Tian asked.
“Infiltrate, and once Orochimaru has completed the transaction with the seller, we will seize the scroll.” Kocho Shinobu explained, “Your bone armor ability will be the key.”
Lin Tian nodded: “I understand.”
Just as the two were preparing to act, a familiar voice came from behind Lin Tian:
“It seems we are not the only ones interested in the ancient scroll.”
Lin Tian turned around and saw Erina Nakiri standing not far away.
She was full of charisma tonight, like a queen descending.
Shinobu Kocho looked at Erina warily: “The daughter of the Nakiri family?”
Nakiri Erina approached gracefully: “We have the same goal, why not cooperate?”
Lin Tian looked at the two stunning beauties standing in front of him and felt secretly happy.
This is a great opportunity to collect ability fragments!
“I agree to cooperate.” Lin Tian tried to smooth things over. “The more power the better.”
Shinobu Kocho hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement: “Okay, but you must follow my instructions.”
Erina Nakiri snorted but did not object.
[System prompt: Nakiri Erina’s family degree +2, current family degree 32/100][System prompt: Kocho Shinobu’s family degree +2, current family degree 15/100]Just as the three were about to set off, a red figure appeared silently.
“It’s so lively~” Karin’s charming voice sounded.
She wore a black and red tights tonight, showing off her graceful figure.
His hair was red like fire, and his eyes behind his lenses flashed dangerously.
“Karin!” Kocho Shinobu’s body tensed up.
“Don’t be nervous, Master Pharmacist.” Xianglin raised the corner of her mouth slightly, “Tonight’s game is enough for everyone to participate.”
She walked to Lin Tian’s side and deliberately got very close to him: “Lin Tianjun, don’t you mind having another partner?”
The fragrant breeze blows towards you, making your heart feel happy.
[System prompt: Xianglin’s family degree +3, current family degree 48/100]Lin Tian pretended to be thinking, but in fact he was secretly delighted.
The four beauties are all chasing the same goal, but they don’t know that what really needs to be merged is his system!
“Since we have the same goal, why not cooperate temporarily?” Lin Tian suggested.
The four of them looked at each other and reached a delicate balance.
“Follow me.” Shinobu Kocho said softly, “The transaction is about to begin.”
She led the group along a hidden path toward the center of the garden.
Lin Tian walked at the end, the system running quietly in his mind:
[Task Update: Multi-party Game][Goal: Obtain the Fusion Scroll in the battle between various parties][Reward: System Upgrade Progress +20, Random S-level Ability Fragment × 1]Under the moonlight, four figures moved through the garden like ghosts.
The central pavilion ahead was already visible, where Orochimaru was waiting for the seller to arrive.
The central pavilion is gorgeous and exquisite, with an antique flavor.
The four of them lurked quietly in the surrounding bushes, observing the situation in the pavilion.
Orochimaru was wearing a purple robe, and his pale face looked even more eerie in the moonlight.
Next to him stood Yakushi Kabuto, his lenses reflecting a cold light.
“The seller hasn’t arrived yet?” asked Erina Nakiri in a low voice.
Shinobu Kocho shook her head: “Be patient and wait.”
Lin Tian was fully focused, and his five senses were unusually sharp because of Erina Nakiri’s cooking.
He could clearly sense the subtle energy fluctuations in the air.
Not far away, a black crack suddenly appeared in the air.
“The entrance to Hueco Mundo!” Karin exclaimed softly.
The crack slowly widened, and a figure walked out of it.
Blue hair, a fragment of a white bone mask covering the right side of his face, and eyes as fierce as a beast.
The hole on the waist is a distinctive feature of the Arrancar.
“Grimmjow!” Shinobu Kocho confirmed in a low voice.
The Sixth Espada from Bleach!
Another S-level expert!
Grimmjow held an ancient wooden box in his hand with a proud look:
“Are you alone? Aren’t you afraid that I will just kill you and take the reward?”
Orochimaru smiled sinisterly, “Do you think I would come here alone?”
He raised his hand slightly, and more than a dozen figures immediately appeared in the surrounding bushes – all elites of the Shadow Organization.
Grimmjow snorted in disdain, “The people from Hueco Mundo aren’t far away. Let’s get down to business.”
He shook the wooden box in his hand: “The goods have been brought, where is the money?”
Orochimaru took out a crystal clear purple crystal from his sleeve:
“Broken jade fragments, as promised.”
Broken jade fragments!
Lin Tian and the three beauties held their breath at the same time.
This is the supreme artifact in the world of Death!
“The deal is simple,” Orochimaru said, “You give me the ancient scroll and the mask fragment, and this fragment of the broken jade will be yours.”
Grimmjow’s eyes flashed with greed: “Let me confirm the truth first.”
The two men approached each other and checked each other’s belongings.
“Looks good.” Grimmjow grinned, “Deal!”
At the moment of the exchange, Shinobu Kocho gave Lin Tian a look.
Lin Tian immediately understood – the time to act had come!
He quietly activated the bone armor and took out the “Blood Essence·Modified” given to him by Karin.
“Are you ready?” Shinobu Kocho asked softly.
Lin Tian nodded: “Anytime.”
“I’ll count to three, you release the bone armor, and we’ll take advantage of the chaos to attack.” said Shinobu Kocho.
“One, two—”
Before Shinobu Kocho finished counting, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the direction of the auction!
Everyone was startled by the sudden loud noise.
“What’s going on?” Orochimaru asked sternly.
“Dark Moon Pavilion was attacked!” a subordinate reported hurriedly.
At the moment when everyone’s attention was distracted, Lin Tian decisively took the “Blood Essence·Modified”!
A powerful force instantly exploded in the body!
[System prompt: Special item “Blood Essence·Modified” takes effect, bone armor strength +80%, gain Sharingan basic perception ability]Lin Tian released the bone armor with all his strength, and the jade-white bone armor instantly covered his entire body.
At the same time, the Sharingan’s perception ability made everything around him extremely clear.
“Now!” Shinobu Kocho gave the order.
Four people act at the same time!
Shinobu Kocho turned into a purple lightning and headed straight for Orochimaru.
Karin unexpectedly attacks Grimmjow.
Erina Nakiri took advantage of the chaos and rushed towards the wooden box.
And Lin Tian, ​​with lightning speed, materialized a bone spear and stabbed it accurately at the wooden box!
36: Crazy! The auction turned into a chaotic battle, Hinata sacrificed herself to help awaken (old version)
“Bold!”
Grimmjow was furious and punched Lin Tian.
Lin Tian had anticipated this and used the force to dodge, while hooking the tip of his gun on the edge of the wooden box.
The wooden box was picked up and flipped in the air, and the lid opened!
A fragment of bone and an old parchment flew out.
The Arrancar King’s mask fragments and the fusion scroll!
Lin Tian was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he activated the full power of his bone armor, materializing a bony arm and accurately grasping the ancient scroll!
At the same time, Shinobu Kocho and Orochimaru had fought for more than ten rounds, and there was no clear winner between the two.
Karin was fighting with Grimmjow and was clearly at a disadvantage, but she seemed to be just stalling for time.
“Lin Tian!” Erina Nakiri shouted, “Go!”
Lin Tian didn’t need her reminder and had already retreated quickly towards the east gate.
“Stop him!” Orochimaru roared.
Several members of the Shadow Organization blocked Lin Tian’s way.
Lin Tian sneered, and the power of bone armor burst out completely!
“Bone Blade Storm!”
Countless bone blades flew out from Lin Tian’s body, forming a deadly storm.
The blockers were torn into pieces in an instant, no one was spared!
This is a newly developed ability of his, and it is incredibly powerful.
[System prompt: Bone armor ability proficiency improved, unlocked new skill “Bone Blade Storm”]After breaking through the defense line, Lin Tian continued to run forward.
Behind him, the melee became more intense.
The battle between Orochimaru and Shinobu Kocho spread to the entire garden, and even the ground began to crack.
Grimmjow went completely berserk, releasing the Lion King’s liberation form, and energy shock waves swept in all directions.
Karin released the cursed state, her red hair turned like fire, and her combat power doubled.
Erina Nakiri showed her excellent skills, dodging various attacks flexibly.
Further away, explosions were heard at the auction venue.
Apparently, other forces are also interested in this ancient scroll and the mask fragments.
“Lin Tian!” A familiar voice came from the side.
It’s Tsunade!
She was dressed in combat uniform, with flying blonde hair, and her aura was fully on display.
“Give me the scroll! Quick!” Tsunade stretched out her hand.
Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, then made a decision:
“I’m sorry, Lady Tsunade, I have other plans!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tian activated the concealment rune and his figure instantly became blurred.
[System prompt: The concealment rune is effective, hiding your aura for 3 hours, and can avoid perception below level B]Tsunade was stunned, then she shouted angrily: “Lin Tian! You——”
But Lin Tian had already disappeared into the night.
With the help of the Sharingan’s perception ability and the cover of the concealment runes, Lin Tian easily shook off the pursuers and ran towards the predetermined retreat route.
“Jingyue Lake, Hinata is waiting for me.” Lin Tian said to himself.
He carefully opened the scroll and glanced at its contents in the moonlight.
The densely packed ancient texts and various mysterious patterns are indeed the secret method of integrating abilities!
[System prompt: Special item “Fusion Scroll” detected, analyzing…][Analysis completed: The ancient scroll records the method of cross-border ability fusion, which can greatly enhance the system ability fusion function]【Absorbed? 】
“Yes!” Lin Tian answered in his heart without hesitation.
[System prompt: Start absorbing and integrating the ancient scroll content…][Absorption progress: 5%…15%…30%…]Lin Tian ran while waiting for the system to complete the absorption.
The sounds of fighting in the rear were getting farther and farther away, and the Mirror Moon Lake in front was already faintly visible.
Jingyue Lake is one of the most beautiful attractions in Zhongcheng District, famous for its mirror-like water surface and the reflection of the bright moon.
It is a full moon tonight, and the lake is sparkling and beautiful.
In the pavilion by the lake, a beautiful figure is waiting quietly.
Hinata Hyuga is wearing a white kimono tonight, looking like a fairy under the moonlight.
Seeing Lin Tian’s figure, Hinata stood up happily:
“Lin Tianjun, you are here!”
Lin Tian put away his bone armor, gathered his breath, and a gentle smile appeared on his face:
“Sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Hinata shook her head: “It doesn’t matter, as long as you can come.”
Her eyes looked even clearer in the moonlight, her long hair was like a waterfall, and her skin was as white as snow.
That pure beauty contrasts sharply with the chaotic scene behind.
[System prompt: Fusion of ancient scrolls absorbed! ][System capability fusion function upgrade: LV.1→LV.3][Increase the fusion success rate by 30%, and unlock cross-border fusion functions]Lin Tian was secretly happy, but he didn’t show it on the surface:
“Are you ready for the ritual?”
Hinata’s cheeks blushed slightly and she nodded gently, “Yeah, I’m ready.”
She took out a small bottle from her sleeve, which contained a liquid with a faint blue glow:
“This is the Moonlight Divine Water specially made by our clan. It can temporarily open the bloodline restrictions.”
Lin Tian took the vial and asked softly, “How does the ceremony proceed?”
Hinata’s face turned even redder: “We…we need to drink the holy water together, and then…combine our energy.”
“Energy fusion?” Lin Tian asked deliberately, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Hinata lowered her head and spoke in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible:
“It’s just… physical contact, allowing energy to flow between two people…”
Lin Tian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, this was exactly what he wanted.
“Let’s start.” Lin Tian said softly.
The two walked to the lake, and the moonlight sprinkled on the water, forming a perfect circle.
Hinata opened the vial and poured half of it out to Lin Tian:
“Drink the holy water first, then…close your eyes.”
Lin Tian took the holy water and clinked glasses with Hinata:
“For our future.”
Hinata smiled slightly and drank the holy water.
Lin Tian also drank it all in one gulp.
A cool energy immediately flowed through the body, and all senses became unusually sharp.
[System prompt: “Moonlight Divine Water” takes effect, the White Eye blood channel is temporarily opened][Preparation for the clan awakening ceremony is complete, please complete the final steps]Lin Tian gently pulled Hinata’s hand, and the two stood face to face in the moonlight.
“Next…I need to hold you…” Hinata whispered, blushing.
Lin Tian smiled and opened his arms: “My pleasure.”
Hinata took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to step forward, and gently hugged Lin Tian.
Their bodies touched, and a strange energy immediately flowed between them.
[System prompt: Energy fusion begins, clan awakening progress: 10%…30%…50%…]Hinata trembled slightly, her Byakugan unconsciously activating and glowing softly.
Lin Tian could feel a warm force flowing from Hinata’s body into his own.
“Hinata…” Lin Tian called softly.
Hinata raised her head. She was incredibly beautiful under the moonlight:
“Lin Tianjun…I feel…our connection…”
[System prompt: Family awakening progress: 80%…90%…100%! ][Family awakening completed! Hyuga Hinata officially becomes your first family member! 】
[Ability obtained: Basic vision of the white eyes (can see through objects within 10 meters, consumes a lot of energy)][Hyuga Hinata family degree: 60 → 65/100]A bright white light flashed across the two of them before disappearing into the night.
Hinata panted, her pretty face flushed: “Success…”
Lin Tian was surprised to find that his vision had changed.
He can see the internal structure of objects and can even see the chakra flowing in Hinata’s body!
“This is the power of the Roll of Eyes!” Lin Tian exclaimed.
Hinata smiled slightly, “It’s just a basic ability… but as our relationship deepens, you’ll gain more Byakugan abilities.”
[System prompt: Detected that the host’s level breakthrough conditions have been met! ][Bone Armor Purity: 100%][Ability proficiency: 95% → 100%][System improvement: 73% → 78%][Level upgrade: C-level → B-level! ]Lin Tian felt an unprecedented power erupting in his body.
The power, strength and flexibility of bone armor have been greatly improved!
“Mr. Lin, your aura… has become stronger!” Hinata said in surprise.
37: What are the activities of a man and a woman alone at night? Xianglin has been staring at the window for a long time (old version)
Lin Tian smiled slightly: “Thanks to you, Hinata.”
He stroked Hinata’s cheek, “This is such a rewarding night.”
In the distance, the sounds of explosions and fighting continued.
But all this has nothing to do with Lin Tian.
He has obtained what he wanted most – the contents of the fusion scroll and the first member of his family.
System upgrades, strength enhancement, ability collection… everything is going according to plan.
No one knew his real secret.
No one knew his ultimate goal.
No one can stop his rise!
Lin Tian hugged Hinata and whispered in the moonlight:
“From now on, you are mine, Hinata.”
Hinata leaned happily in Lin Tian’s arms and responded softly:
“Well, it always is…”
Lin Tian and Hinata snuggled in the moonlight as the explosions in the distance gradually subsided.
“The battle seems to be over.” Lin Tian said softly.
Hinata nodded slightly, her Byakugan already activated:
“Grimmjow has retreated, and the battle between Orochimaru and Kocho-nin has come to an end.”
She leaned in Lin Tian’s arms, shy and satisfied: “Many forces have dispersed, but… they are all looking for you.”
Let them find it! The contents of the fusion scroll have been completely absorbed by the system, and no one can get any information from him.
“Mr. Lin, what did you get?” Hinata asked curiously.
Lin Tian pretended to be mysterious: “Some interesting things that can make me stronger.”
Hinata didn’t ask any further questions, but just nodded meekly: “I believe you.”
[System prompt: Hyuga Hinata’s family degree +3, current family degree 68/100][Family Ability Sharing: White Eyes Basic Vision has been activated and can be used at any time]Lin Tian tried to activate his new ability, and his vision immediately changed.
The meridians in Hinata’s body are clearly visible, and objects within a ten-meter radius around her become transparent.
“What a wonderful ability.” Lin Tian exclaimed.
Hinata blushed: “This is just the most basic Byakugan ability… As our relationship deepens, you will gain more…”
There was a strong hint in her tone that made Lin Tian’s heart flutter.
“I’m really looking forward to that day.” Lin Tian said ambiguously.
Hinata lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
“I should go home. My father will be worried.” Hinata said softly.
Lin Tian nodded: “I’ll take you back.”
The two left Jingyue Lake and walked towards the Hyuga Mansion.
Along the way, Lin Tian made good use of his newly acquired Byakugan ability and realized that there were indeed multiple forces in the dark searching for him.
But with Hinata around, these people didn’t dare to act rashly.
“By the way, Mr. Lin…father wants to see you tomorrow morning.” Hinata said suddenly.
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows: “Master Rizu? Why?”
Hinata shook her head slightly: “I don’t know, but it should be related to what happened tonight.”
Lin Tian thought about it and nodded in agreement: “I will visit you tomorrow morning.”
After sending Hinata to the door of her house, Lin Tian took advantage of the fact that no one was around and gently kissed her forehead.
“Good night, my family.” Lin Tian said in a low voice.
Hinata’s whole body trembled, her face flushed like fire: “Good night… Good night, Lin Tianjun.”
[System prompt: Hyuga Hinata’s family degree +2, current family degree 70/100]Watching Hinata enter the mansion, Lin Tian turned around and left, feeling extremely happy.
He quietly activated his Byakugan ability, made sure there were no stalkers around, and headed towards his residence.
On the way, Lin Tian reviewed what he had gained tonight:
The content of the fusion scroll has been absorbed by the system
System capability integration function upgraded to LV.3
Strength breaks through to B level
Obtained the first family member – Hyuga Hinata
Gain basic vision ability with the white eyes
“This is just the beginning.” Lin Tian said to himself, with ambition flashing in his eyes.
After returning to his residence, Lin Tian immediately set up several simple traps to prevent a night attack.
Then he opened the system panel to check the latest status:
[Level: B (5%)][System Level: LV.2 (Progress: 78/100)]– Bone armor control (fully mastered, B-level strength)
– White Eyes Basic Vision (activated, ready to use)
-Hinata Hyuga: 70/100 (awakened, shares the basic vision of the Byakugan)
– Tsunade: 47/100
-Incense: 48/100
– Erina Nakiri: 32/100
– Kocho Shinobu: 15/100
[System fusion function: LV.3 (cross-border fusion has been unlocked)][Ability that can be integrated: Byakugan basic vision + Sharingan perception =?]The Byakugan and Sharingan, the two most powerful eye techniques in Naruto, can now be combined!
Although the Sharingan only sensed 2/20, with the help of the fusion scroll, the system showed that partial fusion could be attempted.
“Fusion.” Lin Tian ordered without hesitation.
[System prompt: Begin to fuse the Byakugan’s basic vision with the Sharingan’s perception…][Fusion Difficulty: High][Success rate: 45%][Consumption: Sharingan perception fragments × 2, Byakugan basic visual energy × 30%]【Do you want to continue? 】
“Continue.” Lin Tian made a decisive choice.
[System prompt: Fusion in progress…][Progress: 10%…25%…40%…60%…85%…100%][Fusion successful! Gained new ability: Eye of Insight (can see through the target’s weaknesses and predict the trajectory of action)]Lin Tian was pleasantly surprised to find that his visual ability had improved again.
Not only can you see the internal structure of an object, you can also intuitively see the target’s weaknesses and even predict its movement trajectory!
“This is the power of fusion!” Lin Tian said to himself excitedly.
He couldn’t wait to try out this new ability, so he grabbed a vase and threw it into the air.
In the field of vision, the movement trajectory of the vase is clearly visible, and the landing point is accurately marked.
More importantly, he can directly see the most vulnerable part of the vase!
Lin Tian flicked his fingers lightly, and a bone flying needle accurately hit the weak point of the vase.
“Bang!” The vase broke into pieces.
“It’s perfect!” Lin Tian exclaimed inwardly.
Just then, there was a slight noise outside the window.
Lin Tian immediately activated the Eye of Insight and saw a familiar figure lurking in a nearby tree.
Fiery red hair and a graceful figure – Karin!
Lin Tian curled his lips, did not point it out, but deliberately began to prepare to wash up.
He took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body, and his movements were deliberately slow.
Through the Eye of Insight, he could see that Karin’s breathing became rapid and her face turned slightly red.
[System prompt: Xianglin’s family degree +2, current family degree 50/100]Lin Tian chuckled secretly, walked to the window deliberately, pretended to stretch, and then “happened” to look in the direction where Xianglin was hiding:
“Ms. Xianglin, what brings you here so late at night?”
Xianglin on the tree was obviously startled, then she jumped down lightly and leaped into the room through the window.
“That’s a good reaction.” Xianglin smiled seductively, with a dangerous light flashing in her red eyes.
Her battle suit tonight was slightly damaged, adding a touch of wild beauty.
“Did Orochimaru send you here?” Lin Tian asked calmly, deliberately not wearing a shirt.
Karin’s eyes lingered on his chest: “Not exactly. I have my own judgment.”
She walked closer to Lin Tian, ​​her red lips slightly parted: “You took the ancient scroll, and Lord Orochimaru is very angry.”
Lin Tian shrugged: “First come, first served.”
Xianglin suddenly smiled: “It doesn’t matter. We have already backed up the contents of the ancient scroll.”
Lin Tian was alert in his heart, but his expression remained calm: “Really?”
Karin nodded, “Lord Orochimaru I’m just curious, what do you want the scroll for?”
Lin Tian chuckled: “Just a little research, it will help the bone armor ability.”
Xianglin obviously didn’t believe it, but she didn’t ask any further questions.
She walked up to Lin Tian and put her hand on his chest:
“Regardless, you owe an explanation, Lord Orochimaru.”
The fragrant breeze blowing in your face makes you feel distracted.
Lin Tian grabbed her wrist: “What about you? What explanation do you want?”
A hint of surprise flashed across Xianglin’s eyes, which then turned into charm:
“I just want to confirm one thing…”
38: Close test, reveal the mysterious trump card behind (old version)
She suddenly stood on tiptoe and put her red lips close to Lin Tian’s ear:
“Who is behind you?”
Lin Tian was startled, but he remained calm:
“No one, I just act for myself.”
Karin chuckled, “Lone Ranger? Don’t be ridiculous. In the chaos of the auction, you were able to escape unscathed and get the ancient scroll. No one was behind you?”
Lin Tian asked back: “Who do you think it is?”
“Some say it was Tsunade, some say it was the Death God Association…” Karin said meaningfully, “But I don’t think it was either.”
Lin Tian felt relieved.
No one knows his real secret—the god-level collection system is his real trump card!
“Maybe I’m just lucky.” Lin Tian smiled.
Karin sneered, “Luck?”
She moved closer, almost touching Lin Tian:
“You know what? A lot of people died in the melee tonight.”
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows: “Who?”
“Kabuto Yakushi was seriously injured, and one of Shinobu Kocho’s disciples was also killed.” Karin said, “The auction venue was even worse, at least twenty people died.”
She added meaningfully: “And you took the most precious thing without any damage.”
Lin Tian was unmoved: “So?”
“So I’m curious…” Xianglin’s fingers gently stroked Lin Tian’s chest, “Who are you?”
[System prompt: Xianglin’s family degree +3, current family degree 53/100]Lin Tian grabbed her hand and looked straight into her eyes:
“Want to know the answer?”
Karin nodded, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Lin Tian raised his lips to an evil smile:
“Then you have to pay the price.”
A hint of surprise flashed across Xianglin’s eyes, and then it turned into understanding:
“What’s the price?”
Lin Tian did not answer, but gently pulled her closer
The early morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, and Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes.
The other side of the bed was already empty, leaving only a faint scent.
Lin Tian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and the memory of last night emerged.
When Xianglin left, she left a message: “Don’t think you can get away with it like this. I will definitely find out your secret.”
Lin Tian was not worried at all.
The god-level collection system is integrated with his consciousness and cannot be detected by outsiders.
He got up, washed up, and checked the system status:
[System prompt: Xianglin’s family degree +10, current family degree 63/100][Triggered special event: The conditions for the awakening of Xianglin’s family have been met! ][Please complete the awakening ceremony within 72 hours]Another member of the clan is about to awaken!
He quickly dressed and prepared to head to the Hyuuga residence for his appointment with Hiashi.
As soon as I walked out the door, a messenger from the Death God Association was waiting outside:
“Mr. Lin Tian, ​​Captain Byakuya Kuchiki invites you to the headquarters of the Death God Association for a chat.”
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows: “When?”
“Three o’clock this afternoon.” The messenger replied respectfully.
Lin Tian nodded: “I will be there on time.”
After the messenger left, Lin Tian continued to move forward, thinking in his heart.
Byakuya Kuchiki is an SS-rank warrior and the captain of the 13th Division of the Death God Association.
This is another great opportunity to collect powerful ability fragments!
On the way, Lin Tian felt that many eyes were secretly observing him.
Since last night’s incident, he has become the focus of attention from all parties.
But with the Eye of Insight, these surveillances posed no threat to him.
The door to the Hyuga mansion was open, as if they had been waiting for his arrival.
The servant who led the way brought Lin Tian to a spacious reception room.
Hyuga Hiashi sat in the middle, his face as calm as water:
“Lin Tian, ​​you are here.”
Lin Tian bowed respectfully: “Master Rizu.”
Rizu motioned him to sit down, “How much do you know about what happened last night?”
Lin Tian answered cautiously: “I heard that something unexpected happened at the auction, but I don’t know the details.”
Rizu looked directly at Lin Tian with his sharp eyes:
“Really? Then why were you with my daughter when it happened?”
Lin Tian was startled, but soon calmed down:
“Ms. Hinata invited me to watch the moon, and I just happened to avoid the chaos.”
A barely perceptible smile flashed across Rizu’s eyes:
“It seems to be God’s will.”
He turned serious and said: “Lin Tian, ​​I feel that there is a change in you.”
Lin Tian pretended to be confused: “Change?”
“Your aura is… stronger.” Hiashi said, “Also, I can feel the connection between you and Hinata.”
Could it be that Rizu discovered the family relationship?
“Hinata and I have indeed become good friends,” Lin Tian said cautiously.
Hiashi suddenly smiled and said, “No need to hide it. I can see the relationship between the clans.”
Lin Tian looked at Rizu in shock.
Hiashi continued, “Don’t be nervous, I’m not blaming you. On the contrary, I’m very happy.”
He stood up and walked to the window:
“The Hyuga clan has a long history, but its bloodline has become increasingly thin in recent years.”
Rizu turned around and looked directly at Lin Tian:
“And your bone armor ability is pure and flawless. Combined with the Byakugan, it may bring new possibilities to the Hyuga clan.”
Lin Tian suddenly realized.
Rizu is thinking about the future of the family!
“So…you don’t object to my relationship with Hinata?” Lin Tian asked tentatively.
Rizu nodded: “Not only do I have no objection, I also hope that you can go further.”
He took out an exquisite white box from his sleeve:
“This is the essence of my clan’s Byakugan. It will help you better control the Byakugan abilities shared by your clan.”
Lin Tian took the box and thanked him sincerely: “Thank you, Master Rizu.”
[System prompt: Obtained the item “Baiyan Essence”, after use, the proficiency of Baiyan ability +20%]“There is one more thing.” Rizu said seriously, “During the melee last night, the whereabouts of the fusion scroll is unknown.”
He looked at Lin Tian meaningfully: “Do you know anything?”
Lin Tian shook his head: “I’ve only heard of this thing, but I don’t know the details.”
Hiashi seemed to be thinking: “It is said that the ancient scroll records the method of cross-boundary fusion, which is of great significance to the evolution of bloodline limit.”
He paused and said, “If you have heard anything, you might as well tell me. The Hyuga clan will not treat you unfairly.”
Lin Tian nodded seriously: “If there is any news, I will let you know.”
After the conversation, Hinata appeared and wanted to send Lin Tian away.
Walking along the corridor of the mansion, Hinata whispered:
“Lin Tianjun, father thinks highly of you.”
Lin Tian smiled: “Thanks to you.”
Hinata’s cheeks blushed slightly: “What do you… think of the Byakugan’s ability?”
“Very practical.” Lin Tian said sincerely, “Especially because it can see the opponent’s weaknesses.”
Hinata’s eyes flashed with surprise: “You have mastered it to this extent?”
Lin Tian did not intend to reveal the matter of fusion, but just said modestly:
“Maybe my bone armor’s abilities have been enhanced.”
After seeing Hinata off, Lin Tian reviewed the meeting just now.
Ri Zu’s attitude is far more open-minded than he imagined, which is good news for him.
But at the same time, various forces have not stopped their pursuit of the fusion ancient scroll.
Fortunately, the god-level collection system has completely absorbed the contents of the ancient scroll, and outsiders will never be able to get any information from him.
“Next, it’s time to meet Byakuya Kuchiki.” Lin Tian said to himself.
There are still a few hours left before the appointment with Byakuya Kuchiki, so Lin Tian decides to visit Orihime Inoue first.
He promised her last night that he would go find her this morning.
The system prompt sounded in my mind:
[Task reminder: Xianglin’s family awakens, remaining time: 71 hours][Schedule reminder: Today at 3pm, meet with Byakuya Kuchiki at the Death God Association headquarters]Lin Tian strolled leisurely in the morning light, enjoying the new feeling brought by the B-level ability.
Everything around him became clearer, and the flow of energy was clearly visible to him.
Especially the Eye of Insight, which can not only see through objects, but also accurately capture weaknesses and movement trajectories.
This is his secret weapon!
“System, you are really my best partner.” Lin Tian secretly admired in his heart.
Arriving at Orihime’s residence, he knocked gently on the door.
The door opened almost immediately, as if Orihime had been waiting for him.
“Lin Tianjun!” Orihime shouted happily.
Today she is wearing a light blue dress, with her long orange hair falling naturally, like a flowing golden waterfall under the sunlight.
Her pure temperament is mixed with a hint of mature charm, which is very attractive.
“Good morning, Orihime.” Lin Tian greeted with a smile.
Orihime welcomed him into the house, and the aroma filled his face:
“I’m making breakfast now. Would Lin Tianjun like to eat with us?”
“Of course, it’s an honor.” Lin Tian agreed happily.
After entering the house, Lin Tian quietly activated the Eye of Insight.
39: Orihime shyly confesses her love and becomes the object of everyone’s curiosity (old version)
The energy flow in Orihime’s body is very special, with six points of light in the center, corresponding to her “Shield Shun Six Flowers”.
“Last night… were you okay?” Orihime asked softly, her eyes full of worry.
Lin Tian smiled and shook his head: “I am very lucky that I didn’t get into trouble.”
“Great!” Orihime breathed a sigh of relief. “I heard from Rukia that the auction venue has become a ruin and many people were injured…”
She lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly: “I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep all night.”
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +3, current family degree 53/100]“I’m fine,” Lin Tian said gently, deliberately moving closer to her, “thanks to Orihime’s amulet.”
Orihime looked up, her eyes sparkling with joy, “Really? My potion worked?”
Lin Tian nodded: “Very effective.”
Orihime smiled happily, her face as pretty as a flower: “Great! I made more, do you want to take some?”
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +2, current family degree 55/100]The two had breakfast together, and Lin Tian skillfully guided the topic to obtain more information.
“I heard that Byakuya Kuchiki wants to see me. Do you know why?” Lin Tian asked.
Orihime shook her head slightly, “I’m not sure, but it’s rare for someone to receive a personal invitation from Byakuya-sama.”
She pursed her lips and said, “Rukia said that Lord Byakuya has been studying some ancient rituals recently and needs special abilities to assist him.”
Lin Tian’s eyes lit up: “What ceremony?”
“It is said to be the opening ceremony of the Soul King’s Mark.” Orihime whispered, “It is said to be a secret technique that can increase the power of the God of Death.”
Another great opportunity to collect!
Lin Tian was secretly happy in his heart, but he remained expressionless.
After the meal, Orihime suddenly became nervous:
“Lin Tianjun… Can I go to the Death God Association with you this afternoon?”
Lin Tian was slightly surprised: “You were invited too?”
Orihime shook her head, “No… I wanted to go see Rukia, and… I was worried about you.”
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her shyness made people feel pity for her.
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +3, current family degree 58/100]“Of course.” Lin Tian agreed with a smile, already having a plan in mind.
Having Orihime by your side not only increases your favorability, but also creates more opportunities for contact and allows you to collect healing ability fragments.
Kill two birds with one stone!
As they were talking, there was a crisp knock on the door.
Orihime went to open the door, and outside stood a girl dressed in a black Shinigami costume – Rukia Kuchiki.
“Orihime, are you ready? We-” Rukia was visibly stunned when she saw Lin Tian, ​​”Ah, Mr. Lin is here too.”
“Rukia!” Orihime greeted happily, “I was just thinking of going to the Death God Association with Lin Tianjun.”
Rukia nodded in understanding: “That’s perfect, I’m here to pick you up.”
She looked at Lin Tian: “Brother is looking forward to meeting you.”
Lin Tian smiled slightly: “I am also honored to meet Captain Kuchiki.”
Lucia looked Lin Tian up and down: “I heard that you escaped unscathed last night, which is very impressive.”
Lin Tian shook his head modestly: “It’s just good luck.”
“Luck?” Rukia chuckled. “Do you know how many people died last night?”
Without waiting for Lin Tian to answer, she continued, “The captain of the second squad was almost seriously injured, and four members of the team were killed.”
Lin Tian maintained a calm expression, but was calculating the gains and losses in his mind.
It seems that last night’s melee was more intense than expected.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Rukia changed the subject, “Since everyone is going to the association, why don’t we go together?”
[System prompt: Kuchiki Rukia’s family degree +2, current family degree 10/100]The three of them walked together, through the city, and headed towards the headquarters of the Death God Association.
On the way, Lin Tian deliberately walked between the two beauties, creating physical contact from time to time and quietly collecting energy fragments.
[Healing Power Collection Progress: 9/15][Death Power Collection Progress: 3/25]The headquarters of the Death God Association is a towering white building complex whose design style combines traditional Japanese and modern elements.
Two guards wearing black Death Tyrant uniforms stood in front of the main gate. They had a powerful aura and were at least B-level in strength.
Rukia showed her ID and the three of them passed the inspection smoothly.
“Lord Byakuya is waiting for you at the Thirteenth Division headquarters.” Rukia said to Lin Tian, ​​”I will take Orihime to the Fourth Division to find Captain Unohana first.”
Lin Tian nodded: “No problem, I know the way.”
Before parting, Orihime said worriedly, “Be careful, Lin Tianjun.”
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +2, current family degree 60/100][Triggers a special event: The conditions for awakening the Inoue Orihime family are met! ][Please complete the awakening ceremony within 96 hours]Lin Tian was ecstatic in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.
After saying goodbye to the two beauties, Lin Tian walked towards the headquarters of the 13th Division.
Along the way, many members of the Death Team cast curious glances at him.
Apparently, word of last night’s events had spread, and his name was now well known within the Death God Association.
The headquarters of the 13th Division is a quaint Japanese-style building, and the cherry trees in front of the gate are in full bloom.
As Lin Tian arrived at the door, a tall and thin member of the Death God team came up to him:
“Mr. Lin Tian? The captain is waiting for you inside.”
Lin Tian nodded in thanks and followed the team members into the building.
After passing through several corridors, we arrived at a spacious reception room.
Kuchiki Byakuya sat in the middle, wearing a white captain’s haori and an exquisite hair crown on his head.
That cold and noble aura could be felt even from several meters away.
“Captain Xiumu.” Lin Tian saluted respectfully.
Kuchiki Byakuya nodded calmly: “Please take a seat.”
His voice was as cold as he was.
Lin Tian sat down and quietly activated the Eye of Insight.
The energy within Byakuya Kuchiki’s body is simply astonishing!
It was like a vast sea of ​​ice, unfathomable, with a sharp murderous intent flowing through it.
Especially his sword – Senbonzakura, the energy condenses into the form of millions of cherry blossom blades.
“Mr. Lin Tian.” Kuchiki Byakuya got straight to the point, “How much do you know about what happened last night?”
Lin Tian has prepared a standard answer:
“I only know that something went wrong at the auction, but I don’t know the details. I was watching the moon with my friends at Jingyue Lake at the time.”
Kuchiki Byakuya looked directly at Lin Tian with sharp eyes:
“Really? Then what do you know about the Fusion Scroll?”
Lin Tian remained calm: “I’ve only heard of the name. It is said that it can integrate the abilities of different worlds.”
Kuchiki Byakuya nodded slightly, “Indeed.”
“That ancient scroll is a relic of the Spirit King, and it records the method of cross-boundary fusion.”
Lin Tian’s eyes lit up: “Spirit King?”
“The supreme ruler of the world of the Shinigami,” Byakuya Kuchiki explained, “His power is beyond imagination.”
Lin Tian suddenly realized that this explained why various forces cared so much about the ancient scroll.
“Mr. Lin Tian.” Kuchiki Byakuya suddenly turned around, “I heard that you have a special bone armor ability?”
Lin Tian nodded: “It’s just ordinary bone manipulation.”
“From what I understand, your bone armor can resonate with the energy of spirits,” Kuchiki Byakuya said. “This is very special.”
Resonance?
Lin Tian was surprised, but soon understood.
This must be a manifestation of the system’s pure filtering capabilities.
“Maybe it’s because of my special physique.” Lin Tian said modestly.
Kuchiki Byakuya looked directly at Lin Tian:
“I invited you here to assist in a research project.”
He took out an exquisite wooden box from his arms:
“This is a fragment of the Spirit King’s mark. I want to test its compatibility with your bone armor’s abilities.”
Items for SS-level strongmen!
40: Explosion! Families awaken one after another! (Old version)
This must be a great opportunity to collect ability fragments!
“I’m happy to help.” Lin Tian agreed readily.
Kuchiki Byakuya opened the wooden box, revealing a small fragment emitting a faint golden light.
“Please release your bone armor ability.” Kuchiki Byakuya instructed.
Lin Tian nodded and activated the bone armor. The jade-white bone armor covered his right arm.
Kuchiki Byakuya gently placed the fragments on Lin Tian’s bone armor.
In an instant, a powerful energy wave came from the fragments!
The fragments emitted dazzling golden light, resonating with the bone armor!
There was a flash of surprise in Kuchiki Byakuya’s eyes: “As expected, there is a reaction…”
[System prompt: SS-level energy item “Spirit King Seal Fragment” detected, data collection begins…][Obtain “Spirit King Power” fragment x 1][Spirit King Power Collection Progress: 1/50]Lin Tian pretended to be surprised: “What kind of reaction is this?”
Byakuya Kuchiki collected the fragments: “The Soul King’s Seal is looking for a suitable carrier.”
He looked at Lin Tian and said, “Your bone armor is very special and can resonate with the power of the Spirit King.”
Lin Tian pretended to be confused: “What does this mean?”
“It means that you may be the key to unlocking the Soul King’s ruins,” Kuchiki Byakuya said calmly.
His eyes were deep: “Mr. Lin Tian, ​​are you willing to assist the Death God Association in its research?”
This is simply a good thing that comes to your doorstep!
Lin Tian nodded without hesitation: “It is my honor to serve Captain Kuchiki.”
Byakuya Kuchiki seemed satisfied: “Very good. In three days, we will go to the Soul King Ruins.”
He paused and said, “I will send someone to pick you up then.”
“Where are the ruins?” Lin Tian asked.
“Outskirts of Kyonoya Palace,” Byakuya Kuchiki answered, “A place called the Soul King’s Courtyard.”
Lin Tian nodded and took note: “I will be ready.”
Kuchiki Byakuya handed Lin Tian a silver badge:
“This is a temporary member certificate. With this, you can freely enter and leave the Death God Association.”
Lin Tian took the badge and deliberately let his fingers touch Kuchiki Byakuya.
[System prompt: Touch the SS-level target to obtain Kuchiki Byakuya Energy Fragment x 1][Senbonzakura Power Collection Progress: 1/40]A cold and powerful energy instantly flowed into Lin Tian’s body!
This was his first time collecting energy fragments from an SS-level expert, and the feeling was completely different!
[System prompt: SS-level debris collection successful, system progress +3, current progress: 81/100]After the meeting, Kuchiki Byakuya personally escorted Lin Tian to the door:
“See you in three days, Mr. Lin Tian.”
Walking out of the 13th Division Headquarters, Lin Tian couldn’t hide his excitement.
Another great opportunity!
Spirit King Relics, SS-level strongman’s ability fragments, system progress improvement
Everything is moving in a good direction!
He decides to go find Orihime and Rukia so he can continue collecting energy fragments.
Walking along the main road of the Death God Association, Lin Tian noticed that many team members were discussing the events of last night.
“I heard that the fusion scroll is missing…”
“Orochimaru and Grimmjow fought to a draw…”
“Central Office 46 has ordered a comprehensive search…”
Lin Tian laughed secretly.
Let them look for it. The contents of the ancient scroll have been completely absorbed by the system. No one can get any information from him.
The headquarters of the Fourth Division is a clean white building, and the cross sign on the door indicates that this is the medical department.
As soon as Lin Tian reached the door, he saw Orihime and Rukia walking out.
When Zhiji saw Lin Tian, ​​a bright smile immediately appeared on her face:
“Lin Tianjun! Did the meeting go well?”
Lin Tian nodded and smiled: “It went very smoothly. Captain Xiumu invited me to participate in a research project in three days.”
Rukia raised an eyebrow, “About the Soul King’s ruins?”
Lin Tian nodded: “Yes, you know that too?”
“Of course, I’m the vice-captain of Squad 13,” Rukia said proudly.
She looked at Lin Tian and said, “It seems that my brother admires your abilities.”
[System prompt: Kuchiki Rukia’s family degree +3, current family degree 13/100]The three of them left the Death God Association and took a rest in a nearby teahouse.
Lin Tian deliberately sat next to Orihime, taking the opportunity to collect more energy fragments.
[Healing Power Collection Progress: 10/15]“By the way, Lin Tianjun…” Orihime suddenly lowered her voice, “I heard from Captain Unohana that tonight is a full moon, which is a good time to hold the purification ceremony.”
Purification ritual?
Isn’t this a good opportunity to complete the awakening of the clan?
“Where will it be held?” Lin Tian asked.
Orihime’s cheeks blushed slightly, “At…at my house.”
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +2, current family degree 62/100]Lin Tian pretended to think for a moment, but he had already decided:
“Okay, what time?”
Orihime lowered her head, her voice almost inaudible:
“At nine o’clock in the evening, when the moon is at its fullest…”
Rukia seemed to sense the atmosphere between the two and smiled meaningfully:
“I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Before she stood up and left, she winked at Lin Tianshi:
“Take care of Orihime.”
[System prompt: Kuchiki Rukia’s family degree +2, current family degree 15/100]Only Lin Tian and Zhiji were left, and the atmosphere became subtle.
“Lin Tianjun…” Zhiji mustered up the courage to look up, her eyes full of expectation, “Will you… come?”
Lin Tian gently stroked her hand:
“Of course, I’ll be there on time.”
[Healing Power Collection Progress: 11/15]After leaving the teahouse, Lin Tian was in a good mood.
Within one day, the two clansmen met the awakening conditions and collected energy fragments of SS-level strongmen.
More importantly, there will be an opportunity to explore the Spirit King’s ruins in three days.
【Today’s harvest:
– Kuchiki Byakuya Energy Fragment × 1
– Soul King Power Fragment × 1
– Inoue Orihime Energy Fragment × 2
-Kuchiki Rukia Energy Fragment × 2】
[System Progress: 81/100][Only 19 points left until system upgrade]After returning to his residence, Lin Tian began to prepare for the evening ceremony.
If he can complete the awakening of Karin and Inoue Orihime’s families within two days, his strength will take another big leap forward!
Plus the ability fusion bonus brought by the fusion of ancient scrolls, and the upcoming exploration of the Soul King ruins…
Night falls and the moon hangs high in the sky.
Lin Tian was ready to go, thinking about his plans for tonight.
At nine o’clock, Inoue Orihime’s family awakening ceremony began.
At 11 o’clock, contact Karin and arrange her awakening ceremony.
With the successive awakening of his two followers, plus the awakened Hinata, his strength will see a qualitative leap!
[System prompt: Healing power collection progress: 11/15][The awakening of Inoue Orihime’s family will be completed soon, and the “healing power” sharing will be obtained]Lin Tian looked at the time, it was half past eight, time to set off.
He chose a black suit, which made him look formal and convenient for movement.
Before leaving, he checked his belongings:
– Death God Association Temporary Member Badge
-White Eye Essence
-Karin’s Blood Essence (spare)
– Butterfly Poison of Kocho Shinobu (spare)
The city was brightly lit at night, but it was obviously much quieter than the previous night.
Last night’s melee seemed to have caused many people to choose to stay at home.
Lin Tian used the Eye of Insight to easily avoid several secret sentries.
Apparently, various forces are still searching for the whereabouts of the fusion scroll.
But only he knew that the ancient scroll had long been transformed into nutrients for the system and would never be found by outsiders.
Inoue Orihime’s residence is a small two-story apartment with warm orange light shining through the windows.
Lin Tian knocked on the door gently and almost immediately heard hurried footsteps.
The door opened and Orihime stood there, wearing a pure white dress, her long orange hair loose, like a flowing golden waterfall under the light.
“Lin Tianjun, you’re here.” Orihime said softly, her cheeks slightly red.
41: Taboo ritual under the moonlight, the awakening of Orihime’s family is super shocking! (Old version)
She is different tonight. There is a hint of expectation and shyness in her eyes, which adds a bit of alluring charm.
Lin Tian smiled and nodded: “I promised you that I would come.”
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +2, current family degree 64/100]After entering the room, Lin Tian found that the room was decorated in a special way.
In the middle of the floor was a round white carpet with a six-petal flower pattern painted on it.
There were candles lit all around, emitting a faint scent.
On the small table nearby were two crystal glasses and a bottle of shimmering liquid.
“What is this…?” Lin Tian pointed at the bottle of liquid.
Orihime’s cheeks turned even redder. “The Moonlight Dew was specially made by Captain Unohana. It can open the soul channel.”
She lowered her head and explained, “The healing ritual requires a spiritual connection between the two people to achieve the best results.”
Lin Tian was secretly delighted, this was exactly the condition needed for the clan to awaken!
“It looks very formal.” Lin Tian asked deliberately, “Do you need to make any preparations?”
Orihime shook her head, “Just need to…relax.”
She walked to the small table and poured out two cups of moonshine dew:
“When the full moon reaches its zenith, we will drink this together, and then… perform the ritual.”
Lin Tian nodded and took the opportunity to move closer to Orihime, deliberately letting his arm touch her shoulder.
[Healing Power Collection Progress: 12/15]“Will the ceremony be complicated?” Lin Tian asked softly.
Orihime’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, “No… it just requires the two of you to be… very close.”
Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: “Body contact…energy blending…”
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +3, current family degree 67/100]Lin Tian smiled slightly, and understood in his heart.
The clan awakening ceremony requires close contact, and Orihime is mentally prepared.
Time passed minute by minute, and at exactly nine o’clock, the moon rose to its highest point.
Zhiji took a deep breath and handed a cup of moonlight dew to Lin Tian:
“Now…it’s time.”
Lin Tian took the crystal cup and gently touched it with Orihime’s:
“For a better future.”
They both drank the moonlight dew at the same time.
A cool energy instantly flowed through Lin Tian’s body, and all his senses became extremely sharp.
[System prompt: “Moonlight Dew” takes effect, the healing power channel is temporarily opened]“Next…” Orihime’s voice was trembling, “We need to stand on the pattern in the center.”
Lin Tian nodded and stood in the middle of the white carpet with Orihime.
The moonlight poured through the window, shining right on the two of them.
“Then…I need to activate Shieldshun Rikka…” Orihime said softly.
She raised her hand to touch the hairpin and whispered, “Dun Shun Liuhua, I refuse.”
Six golden petals flew out from the hairpin and slowly rotated around the two people.
A golden light curtain formed, surrounding the two of them.
[System prompt: Target core ability activated, healing power collection efficiency +100%][Healing power collection progress: 12→14/15]“The last step…” Orihime raised her head, her eyes full of shyness and anticipation, “We need… a hug.”
Lin Tian smiled and opened his arms, “Come on, Orihime.”
Orihime took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, took a step forward, and gently hugged Lin Tian.
Their bodies touched, and a warm current immediately flowed between them.
Orihime trembled slightly, and the light of Shieldshun Rikka became brighter.
Lin Tian could feel a warm and pure energy flowing from Orihime’s body into his own.
Unlike Hinata’s Byakugan energy, Orihime’s healing power is gentler and more inclusive.
“Lin Tianjun…” Orihime called softly, with a hint of sweetness in her voice.
Lin Tian lowered his head and saw Orihime was breathtakingly beautiful under the moonlight.
Her slightly parted red lips, long eyelashes, and those affectionate eyes
Everything was overwhelming.
[Family awakening completed! Inoue Orihime officially becomes your second family member! 】
[Ability obtained: Healing Touch (can heal minor injuries to oneself and others, consumes moderate energy)][Inoue Orihime family degree: 67→72/100]A golden light flashed across the two of them, and the six petals of the Shieldshun Rokka returned to Orihime’s hairpin.
The ceremony ended, but the two still embraced each other.
Orihime leaned against Lin Tian’s chest and whispered, “I can feel… our connection…”
Lin Tian was surprised to find that his palms were emitting a faint golden light.
He tried putting his hand on his arm, and a small wound healed instantly!
“This is the power of healing!” Lin Tian exclaimed.
Orihime smiled, “It’s just a basic ability… As our relationship deepens, you’ll gain greater healing powers.”
[System prompt: Healing power collection completed! 15/15][Activation ability: Healing Light (can heal moderate injuries, consumes a lot of energy)][System improvement: 81% → 83%]Lin Tian felt a warm energy flowing through his body.
This power is completely different from the bone armor ability, but they complement each other perfectly!
Offense and defense combined, it’s a perfect combination!
“Mr. Lin… did you feel it?” Orihime asked softly, her eyes full of anticipation.
Lin Tian nodded: “I feel it, Orihime. This power… is very magical.”
Orihime’s face lit up with a happy smile, “I’m glad… that I was able to establish this connection with Lin Tianjun.”
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +5, current family degree 77/100]The two stood next to each other in the moonlight, and time seemed to stand still.
Lin Tian gently stroked Zhiji’s long hair, already thinking about his next plan in his mind.
Two of the followers have awakened, and Karin is waiting.
With the upcoming exploration of the Soul King’s ruins, his power will reach new heights!
After the ceremony, Orihime prepared refreshments for Lin Tian.
The two sat at the small table, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
“Mr. Lin…will you come tomorrow?” Orihime asked softly, her eyes full of anticipation.
Lin Tian smiled and nodded: “Of course, we have a special connection now.”
Orihime’s cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head and whispered, “Captain Unohana said…the relationship between the Families needs to be deepened regularly in order to maintain stability.”
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family degree +3, current family degree 80/100]Lin Tian’s eyes lit up: “Oh? How to deepen it?”
Orihime’s face turned even redder. “It’s just that… rituals like tonight’s… need to be performed frequently…”
42: The clan’s power has soared, and the fusion of abilities is too amazing! (Old version)
This is exactly what Lin Tianyi wants!
He pretended to think: “If this helps maintain our ability, then of course we should do it regularly.”
Orihime nodded happily, her eyes sparkling with happiness.
[System prompt: Inoue Orihime’s family has reached a critical stage, and the hidden feature “Telepathy” is unlocked][You can now sense Inoue Orihime’s emotions and approximate location within a certain range]At half past ten, Lin Tian said goodbye to Zhiji and promised to come again tomorrow.
As he walked home, he felt the new healing power in his body.
At the same time, he could also vaguely sense Orihime’s presence – this was the effect of the family’s characteristic “telepathy”!
[System prompt: Mission reminder: Xianglin clan awakens, remaining time: 69 hours]Lin Tian turned on the communicator and dialed Xianglin’s contact number.
Not long after, Xianglin’s lazy voice came:
“You’re calling me so late, do you miss me?”
Lin Tian got straight to the point: “There is something important that needs to be discussed in person.”
Karin was obviously interested: “Oh? What’s so mysterious?”
“It’s related to Orochimaru’s research.” Lin Tian deliberately kept it a secret, “How about Moon Shadow Lake at 8 o’clock tomorrow night?”
Karin was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, “Okay, I’m looking forward to it.”
[System prompt: Xianglin’s family degree +2, current family degree 65/100]After hanging up the call, Lin Tian smiled with satisfaction.
Tomorrow night, Karin’s family will awaken, and the remains of the Later Spirit King will be explored.
His power will grow exponentially!
When he returned to his residence, Lin Tian found an exquisite little box at the door.
When I opened it, I saw a bottle of light green liquid with a note next to it:
“Mr. Lin Tian, ​​this is a special repair fluid that has a miraculous effect on bone strengthening. Tomorrow night at 8 o’clock, at the Bankai Dining Hall, there is important information to be reported. – Erina Nakiri”
[System prompt: Obtained the item “Nakiri Special Repair Fluid”, after use, bone armor strength +10%, lasts for 24 hours][System prompt: Erina Nakiri’s family degree +3, current family degree 35/100]Lin Tian smiled slightly, this is another good opportunity to collect ability fragments!
But there was a time conflict – he had planned to meet Karin at 8 o’clock tomorrow night.
“It doesn’t matter, the time can be adjusted.” Lin Tian said to himself.
He sent a message to Karin, changing the time to ten o’clock tomorrow night.
The reply came quickly: “So late? Any special plans? Okay, I’ll wait.”
After Lin Tian entered the room, he immediately checked the system status:
[Level: B (8%)][System Level: LV.2 (Progress: 83/100)]-Healing Light (newly acquired, can heal moderate injuries)
-Eye of Insight (Byakugan + Sharingan fusion ability)
– Death Power (3/25)
-Power of the Thousand Cherry Blossoms (1/40)
-Power of the Spirit King (1/50)】
【Family Status:
– Inoue Orihime: 80/100 (Awakened, shared healing touch)
– Karin: 65/100 (Awakening conditions met)
– Erina Nakiri: 35/100
– Rukia Kuchiki: 15/100][Ability that can be integrated: Healing Light + Bone Armor Control =?]Another opportunity for integration!
What kind of new abilities will emerge from the combination of healing abilities and bone armor?
[System prompt: Begin to fuse healing light and bone armor control…][Fusion Difficulty: Medium][Success rate: 65%][Consumption: Healing Light Energy × 40%, Bone Armor Energy × 20%]“Continue.” Lin Tian chose.
[Progress: 15%…35%…60%…85%…100%][Fusion successful! New ability gained: Regenerative bone armor (bone armor has the ability to self-repair and release healing waves at the same time)]Lin Tian activated his new ability, and his entire body was covered with jade-white bone armor.
Unlike before, the surface of the bone armor this time was glowing with a faint golden glow, as if it had life flowing in it.
A piece of bone armor was cut off by the mind, and it was able to regenerate automatically!
What’s even more surprising is that bone armor can release healing waves, affecting surrounding creatures!
“This is simply a perfect offensive and defensive capability!” Lin Tian said to himself excitedly.
[System prompt: Ability fusion successful, system progress +2, current progress: 85/100][Only 15 points left until system upgrade]Lin Tian lay on the bed, reviewing today’s gains.
Inoue Orihime successfully awakened as a member of the family and gained the power of healing.
The healing power is fused with the bone armor to gain the ability to regenerate bone armor.
I will meet with Erina Nakiri tomorrow to collect the fragments of the way of cooking.
The awakening of Karin’s family will be completed tomorrow night.
The day after tomorrow, we will explore the ruins of the Soul King and collect more SS-level ability fragments.
The dazzling sunlight penetrated the curtains, Lin Tian suddenly opened his eyes, and a powerful force surged from his body!
“System, bone armor status detection!”
[Testing…Regenerative bone armor strength: B level (13%), self-healing speed: 2% per minute, healing wave coverage: 3 meters]Lin Tian was overjoyed. After completing the awakening of his family with Inoue Orihime last night, he felt that the ability of his bone armor had made a qualitative leap.
The bone armor that was originally hard but fragile can now repair itself and even release healing waves!
“This fusion effect is beyond expectations!”
He jumped up, eager to test this new ability.
Her right hand was instantly covered in bone armor, the surface glowing with a faint green light, which was the unique symbol of Orihime’s healing power.
Lin Tian exerted a little force, and the bone armor automatically extended, covering his entire arm like flowing water.
“It has become so smooth…”
He grabbed the fruit knife on the table and stabbed it hard into his bone armor.
43: Lin Tian showed his power in healing blood, and Erina changed the god-level cooking plan because of the ingredients! (Old version)
“Crack!”
The blade broke with a sound, but the bone armor remained motionless.
What’s even more amazing is that the tiny scratches on the surface of the bone armor healed quickly in the flashing green light.
“It’s perfect!”
Lin Tian laughed and rushed into the bathroom to wash up. He had to meet Erina Nakiri today and couldn’t be late.
As a talented chef of the Nakiri family, Erina not only possesses top-notch cooking skills, but also masters the secrets of cooking.
The fragments of the art of cooking are exactly one of the important collection targets that Lin Tian urgently needs.
After getting dressed, Lin Tian opened the system panel and checked Erina Nakiri’s information.
[Erina Nakiri: Family Degree 35/100][How to obtain: Complete the exclusive food mission, family degree +15][Note: This target is extremely picky about the quality of ingredients, and the effect of ordinary ingredients is halved]“It seems that we need to prepare some precious ingredients in advance.”
Lin Tian thought for a moment and decided to go to the Angel Medicine Garden first.
Half an hour later, Lin Tian stood in front of an exquisite little shop. The four words “Angel Medicine Garden” on the lintel were emitting a faint light.
As you push the door open, the rich aroma of herbs hits you in the face.
“Welcome, this guest.” A purple-haired girl came up to greet him with a smile.
“Izayoi Sakuya?” Lin Tian recognized the other person at the first sight.
The girl blinked in surprise: “Do you know me?”
“You have a great reputation in the herbal medicine world.” Lin Tian said with a smile, “I need some premium ingredients to make healing dishes.”
Sakuya’s expression turned serious: “Special ingredients are not sold to the public unless…”
“Unless what?” Lin Tian raised his eyebrows.
“Unless you can prove your qualifications.” She took out a card and said, “Please drop a drop of blood on this identification card.”
Lin Tian bit his finger without hesitation and dripped a drop of blood on the card.
The moment the blood touched the card, a green light glowed brightly!
“Healing blood!” Sakuya exclaimed, “You actually possess extremely pure healing blood!”
Lin Tian smiled secretly in his heart. This was a characteristic he gained after awakening with the Orihime clan. It was indeed useful.
“Please wait a moment. I will prepare the best ingredients for you.”
Sakuya hurried into the inner room, and soon she came out holding a crystal box.
“These are Millennium Ganoderma Lucidum, Angel’s Tears Grass, and Moonlight Fruit. They are all premium ingredients, especially suitable for integration with cooking techniques.”
Lin Tian’s eyes lit up: “How many spirit stones?”
“For fellow practitioners with healing bloodlines, I will only charge 500 spirit stones.”
Others would probably have to start at 5,000, right? Lin Tian secretly rejoiced and paid the money happily.
After leaving the Angel Medicine Garden, Lin Tian went straight to the Wanjie Canteen.
The Wanjie Canteen is located in the most prosperous food street in Midtown, bringing together top chefs from all over the world.
Pushing open the carved door, you will see the cafeteria bustling with people and the aroma of various delicacies intertwined together, making you salivate.
Lin Tian looked around and soon found a blonde girl.
Nakiri Erina.
She was wearing a pure white chef’s uniform, her golden hair gleamed in the sun, and her delicate face exuded nobility and coldness.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting.” Lin Tian walked forward and said with a smile.
Erina raised her eyes and said calmly, “Still on time.”
She stood up and said, “Come with me. I have reserved a private cooking room.”
Lin Tian nodded and followed her through the noisy hall to an exquisitely decorated private room.
The private room is fully equipped and is a perfect combination of a small kitchen and a restaurant.
“I heard that you have mastered the ability of bone armor?” Erina asked directly.
Lin Tian nodded: “Not only that, I have also mastered the power of healing recently, and the fusion of the two has produced a wonderful effect.”
“Fusion?” Erina’s eyes flashed with surprise, “How did you do it?”
Lin Tian was well prepared: “Through special meditation methods, I found that energy can blend with each other.”
“Interesting.” Erina thought, “This is similar to the art of cooking.”
She opened the exquisite small box she carried with her and took out a few ingredients: “The dish I’m going to make today is called Destiny Regeneration Soup. It is said to enhance the body’s self-healing ability.”
Lin Tian was secretly happy, this was exactly what he needed.
“I also brought some ingredients. I wonder if I can use them?” He took out three premium ingredients purchased from Angel Medicine Garden.
Erina’s expression changed instantly: “This…this is the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and Moonlight Fruit? Where did you get it from?”
“It was given to me by a friend.” Lin Tian pretended to be relaxed.
“I changed my mind.” Erina’s eyes sparkled with excitement, “I want to make God’s Cuisine: Touch of Regeneration!”
She quickly washed her hands and handled the ingredients with grace and precision.
The knife skills are as smooth as flowing water, and every cut is precise to the millimeter.
Lin Tian was so engrossed in watching that the system suddenly prompted:
[Discover the cooking method fragment! Current progress: 1/20]So that’s how it is. Every time you understand a part of the technique, you can get a fragment!
Lin Tian observed Erina’s every move intently, carefully trying to comprehend the mystery.
Time flies, and an hour later, a bowl of soup emitting a strange glow appeared in front of Lin Tian.
There are colorful halos floating on the surface of the soup, and the aroma is so refreshing that it makes people feel refreshed.
“Try it.” Erina looked at Lin Tian with anticipation in her eyes.
Lin Tian picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
In an instant, a warm current surged from the throat to the whole body, and the ability of the bone armor seemed to be awakened, dancing happily in the body!
[Get cooking BUFF: Touch of Regeneration][Effect: Bone armor self-healing speed increased by 300%, lasting for 24 hours][Cooking Fragments Collection Progress: 7/20]“How does it feel?” Erina asked.
“It’s amazing!” Lin Tian felt the surging energy in his body and exclaimed sincerely, “I feel that the self-healing ability of the bone armor has been greatly improved!”
Erina nodded with satisfaction: “This is the power of cooking. The energy contained in the ingredients can resonate with the abilities of the eater.”
“Resonance…” Lin Tian thought, “Just like the fusion of different abilities?”
“That’s right.” Erina’s eyes flashed with admiration, “You are very smart, that’s exactly the point.”
She cleared the dishes and continued, “Do you know about the fusion of the ancient scrolls?”
Lin Tian’s heart tightened, and he pretended to be confused: “What fusion scroll?”
44: The Ten Thousand Worlds Canteen is full of rewards, and the Soul King Ruins “Trial Field” is full of dangers! (Old version)
“An ancient scroll that records the secrets of cross-border fusion was said to have appeared at an auction a few days ago, but has since disappeared.”
Erina observed Lin Tian’s expression and said, “If I can get it, it will be of great help to my research on culinary fusion.”
Lin Tian pretended to be regretful: “It’s a pity that I haven’t heard of this thing.”
Erina nodded slightly and didn’t ask any more questions.
“By the way, are you interested in the Spirit King’s ruins?” Lin Tian changed the subject.
“The Soul King Ruins?” Erina looked at him in surprise. “How do you know that place?”
“Kuchiki Byakuya invited me to explore together.” Lin Tian told the truth.
Erina was silent for a moment: “Be careful, it is said that the secrets of the world of death are hidden there, it is very dangerous.”
“What do you know?”
“I just heard that you need a special key to enter there.” Erina put away the last piece of equipment, “Also, there may be dangers above SS level in there.”
Lin Tian nodded and took note of the information.
“That’s all for today’s cooking exchange.” Erina took out an exquisite jade bottle, “This is my special cooking essence. It can improve your overall attributes by 30% in an emergency for 3 minutes. This is my thank you gift to you.”
“A thank you gift?” Lin Tian was puzzled.
“For those three ingredients.” Erina smiled. “The thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and Moonlight Fruit are priceless, but you just gave them to me to use. This trust… is very precious.”
Lin Tian took the jade bottle and felt a warm energy flowing in it.
“The next time we discuss this, let’s do it after we explore the Soul King Ruins,” Erina said. “I’m looking forward to hearing about your findings.”
After leaving the Wanjie Canteen, Lin Tian checked the system prompts:
[Erina Nakiri’s family degree: 35/100 → 47/100]【Cooking Fragments: 7/20】
[Item Obtained: Cooking Essence × 1][System upgrade progress: 85/100→87/100]What a rich harvest! Lin Tian was in a good mood and decided to go shopping in the market on the way back to prepare for Xianglin’s family awakening ceremony in the evening.
As I was walking, my bracelet suddenly vibrated and a message popped up:
“Come to the Death God Association. Important information about the Soul King’s ruins. – Byakuya Kuchiki”
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, immediately changed direction and headed towards the Death God Association.
Half an hour later, Lin Tian stood in front of a classical-style gate, and the logo of the 13th Division of the Death God Association was shining in the sun.
“Master Lin Tian, ​​Captain Xiumu is waiting for you inside.” A team member led the way respectfully.
Walking through the corridor, Lin Tian came to a spacious meeting room.
Byakuya Kuchiki was standing in front of the French window with his back to the door. His long hair and haori fluttered gently in the breeze, exuding a noble air.
“You’re here.” He said without turning his head.
“Is there any information about the Spirit King’s ruins?” Lin Tian went straight to the point.
Kuchiki Byakuya turned around and looked at Lin Tian with sharp eyes: “The ruins of the Soul King will be opened tomorrow night. Only those who hold the mark of the Soul King can enter.”
“Mark of the Spirit King?”
“It’s the fragment I gave you,” Kuchiki Byakuya explained, “It resonates with your bone armor ability, which is unusual.”
Lin Tian was alert: “Is there any problem?”
“It’s not a problem, but an opportunity.” Kuchiki Byakuya took out an ancient map, “According to this map, there are seven areas inside the Soul King Ruins, and each area contains powerful power.”
He pointed to a circular area in the center of the map. “And the Soul King’s Chamber in the center is said to contain strange items that can increase the power of the God of Death.”
“What do you need me to do?” Lin Tian asked.
“Tomorrow night, bring the fragment of the Soul King’s Seal and meet me at the Soul Gate in the northern suburbs.” Kuchiki Byakuya put away the map. “The elites of the 13th Division will be with you then.”
Lin Tian nodded in agreement.
“There is one more thing.” Kuchiki Byakuya handed over a black box, “This is the Moonlight Dew that Captain Unohana prepared specially for you. It can strengthen your mental strength and will be helpful in the Soul King Ruins.”
Lin Tian took the box and said, “Thank Captain Unohana for me.”
“You’re welcome.” Kuchiki Byakuya nodded slightly, “See you tomorrow night at 8 o’clock.”
After leaving the Death God Association, Lin Tian immediately opened the system to check:
[Obtained Item: Moonlight Dew × 3][Effect: Temporarily increase mental strength by 20%, lasting for 2 hours][Kuchiki Byakuya Favorability: +5][Kuchiki Rukia’s family degree: 15/100→18/100]I didn’t expect that even Rukia Kuchiki’s family level has been improved. It seems that the relationship between siblings is good.
Just as Lin Tian was about to leave, a slender figure suddenly appeared from the corner.
It was Rukia Kuchiki, wearing a shinigami uniform, with short, neatly styled hair and large, purple eyes filled with curiosity.
“Ms. Rukia.” Lin Tian bowed slightly.
“I heard that you will explore the Soul King ruins with your brother tomorrow?” Rukia asked as she approached.
Lin Tian nodded: “Yes, Captain Bai Ya just told me.”
“Be careful.” Rukia lowered her voice, “The Soul King Ruins are not as simple as they seem.”
“Is there any inside story?”
Rukia looked around and after making sure no one was around, she said, “I found in ancient books that the Soul King Ruins may be a trial ground. Only those who pass the many tests can get the final reward.”
Lin Tian narrowed his eyes: “What test?”
“Unknown.” Rukia shook her head, “But I can be sure that my brother has expectations of you, otherwise he would not have invited you to go with him.”
She took out an exquisite silver badge from her bosom: “Take this with you, you can seek my help when you are in danger.”
Lin Tian took the badge, which had a lifelike butterfly carved on it.
[Obtained Item: Butterfly Dance Badge][Effect: Can establish a spiritual connection with Rukia Kuchiki, one-time item][Kuchiki Rukia’s family degree: 18/100→23/100]“Thank you very much.” Lin Tian thanked sincerely.
Rukia smiled, “Maybe we’ll work together again. Good luck.”
After saying that, she turned and left, her figure quickly disappearing at the end of the corridor.
Lin Tian looked at the badge in his hand, thoughtfully.
The Kuchiki family seems to have an unusual interest in him. Is there any secret behind this?
But for now, we still have to prepare for Karin’s clan awakening ceremony.
As it grew darker, Lin Tian returned to his residence and began to prepare the items needed for the ceremony.
Moonlight dew, soul link runes, special spices… everything is placed on the table.
Just as he was concentrating on preparing, there was a slight noise outside the window.
Lin Tian didn’t turn around, and said calmly: “Come in, I know it’s you.”
45: Shocking! Karin’s charm helps the clan awaken, Lin Tian obtains god-level abilities but encounters an SS-level surprise attack! (Old version)
The window was gently pushed open, and a red-haired figure quietly fell into the room.
“You are so perceptive, Lord Lin.” Xianglin smiled charmingly, her voice as sweet as honey.
She changed her usual outfit tonight and wore a dark red long dress, which made her skin look white as snow and her red hair look like a waterfall, exuding a fatal charm.
“Are you ready?” Lin Tian asked.
Xianglin came closer, and the scent of perfume hit her face: “Of course, I have been looking forward to this moment for a long time.”
She looked around at the items on the table: “It seems you are well prepared.”
Lin Tian nodded: “The clan awakening ceremony cannot be sloppy.”
“Then let’s go.” Xianglin took Lin Tian’s arm, “I have prepared a place by Jingyue Lake.”
Lin Tian was a little surprised: “You chose the same place as Hinata?”
Xianglin chuckled: “Why, is it not possible? The moonlight there is the brightest, and it is most suitable for the ceremony.”
Lin Tian didn’t ask any more questions, packed up his belongings, and headed to Jingyue Lake with Xianglin.
A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and silver light shines on the lake, like a layer of gauze, which is incredibly beautiful.
In a corner of the lake, a red tent has been set up, dotted with burning candles, exuding a strange fragrance.
“Do you like my decoration?” Xianglin asked proudly.
Lin Tian looked around and nodded in appreciation: “Very exquisite.”
Inside the tent, there was a soft red carpet, and in the center was a small silver dish filled with a transparent liquid.
“What is this…?” Lin Tian pointed at the small dish.
“The special liquid in my body has the function of enhancing perception.” Karin explained, “When combined with the moonlight dew, it will produce a wonderful effect.”
Lin Tian took out the moonlight dew and poured half of it into the dish.
The liquids merged into each other, emitting a faint halo.
“The ceremony can begin.” Lin Tian said.
Xianglin sat cross-legged opposite him, her red hair hanging down, like flowing flames under the candlelight.
“Lin Tianjun, after the ceremony is successful, I will become your follower and share my perception abilities with you.” She looked directly into Lin Tian’s eyes, “Are you ready?”
Lin Tian nodded: “Let’s start.”
They both reached out their hands at the same time and lightly touched the silver dish containing the liquid.
Lin Tian began to chant the spell, his voice low and powerful:
“Under the moonlight, souls resonate, hearts connect, and energy is shared.”
Xianglin also recited along, her voice charming and moving:
“The power of perception is with you, and will never be separated from you, through life and death.”
As the spell was chanted, the liquid in the dish slowly rose, forming a silver ball of light that hovered between the two people.
The ball of light became brighter and brighter, and finally suddenly exploded, turning into countless light spots and injecting into the bodies of the two people!
Lin Tian felt his whole body tremble, and a strange energy surged into his heart and then spread to his whole body.
His Eye of Insight activated automatically, and countless details suddenly appeared in his field of vision!
The swimming of fish in the lake, the heartbeat of birds in the distant woods, and even the flapping of wings of tiny insects in the air are all clearly audible!
“This is perception…it’s amazing!”
The system prompt sounded:
[The Karin family has awakened successfully! ][Gain shared ability: God-level perception][Effect: Perception range is expanded by 1000 meters, and the characteristics of living things can be sensed through objects][Karin’s Family Level: 65/100→85/100][Integrating perception and insight…][Fusion successful! New ability gained: Omniscience][Effect: Combining the Byakugan, Sharingan, and perception ability, you can see through the target’s weaknesses and predict the attack trajectory, and at the same time perceive all life forms within 1000 meters]Lin Tian was shocked. The effect of this fusion was far beyond his expectations!
Karin also opened her eyes, and a strange light flickered in her scarlet pupils.
“Lin Tianjun, I feel it!” She said in surprise, “I can sense the power of your bone armor and even see its energy flow!”
Lin Tian smiled: “This is the power shared by the clan.”
Xianglin stood up, her movements as graceful as a cat, and gently leaned on Lin Tian’s shoulder: “From now on, I am your clan member. No matter when and where, I can sense you.”
Her fingers gently stroked Lin Tian’s chest: “Your strength and your potential fascinate me.”
Lin Tian put his arm around her waist and said, “I’m going to explore the Spirit King ruins tomorrow. Do you have any suggestions?”
Karin thought for a moment and said, “Take the blood essence I gave you. It can save your life at a critical moment.”
She suddenly looked up alertly: “Someone is coming!”
Lin Tian also sensed that a powerful aura was approaching quickly!
“Who is it?”
Karin concentrated and sensed: “It’s… Tsunade!”
Lin Tian was shocked. Why would Tsunade come at this time?
“I have to go.” Karin stood up quickly, “She can’t find me with you.”
Karin quickly packed up the tent and candles, and finally gave him a light kiss: “Good luck tomorrow, my master.”
After saying this, she disappeared into the night like a ghost.
Lin Tian had just tidied his clothes when Tsunade appeared by the lake.
She was wearing her usual green coat, and her blonde hair shone brightly in the moonlight.
“Lin Tian, ​​I feel a strong energy fluctuation here.” Tsunade approached and asked, “What happened?”
Lin Tian pretended nothing had happened: “I was practicing the healing light I just learned, and it might have caused energy fluctuations.”
Tsunade looked around suspiciously, “Really? I feel like there’s more to it than that.”
She suddenly noticed a strand of red hair on the ground, and her eyes instantly became sharp: “Has Karin been here?”
46: Naruto Chunin Exam! Orochimaru’s Ambition! (Old Version)
Lin Tian was shocked. Even after his enhanced perception, there were still omissions. It seemed that he needed more practice.
“Yes, she brought some information about Orochimaru.” Lin Tian didn’t lie completely.
“What information?” Tsunade demanded.
“Orochimaru is very interested in the Soul King’s ruins and seems to want to obtain the power within.”
Tsunade was silent for a moment: “Be careful of Karin, she is Orochimaru’s spy.”
“I wanted to stop you from participating in the Soul King Ruins exploration tomorrow.” Tsunade sighed, “But now it seems that this may be a good opportunity to get closer to the enemy.”
She took out a small bottle from her bosom: “This is my special secret medicine for Tsunade. Drink it when you are in danger. It can temporarily increase your strength to A-level for 5 minutes.”
Lin Tian took the vial and said gratefully, “Thank you.”
“Remember, there may be S-level or even SS-level dangers in the Soul King Ruins.” Tsunade said seriously, “If the situation is not right, retreat immediately, understand?”
“clear.”
Tsunade turned to leave, but then stopped, “Come to me after your trip to the Soul King Ruins. I have something important to tell you.”
Lin Tian was curious: “What’s the matter?”
“Regarding your bone armor ability…I discovered something special.”
Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, but remained vigilant. The bone armor ability was obtained through the system, and the secrets of the system must be kept safe.
Before he could ask more, Tsunade leapt into the air and disappeared into the night.
Lin Tian stood by the lake, his heart beating fast.
We had a great harvest tonight: Karin successfully awakened as a member of the family and gained the ability of omniscience; Tsunade brought Tsunade’s secret medicine to remind people of the dangers of the Soul King’s ruins.
But at the same time, more mysteries emerge: Tsunade becomes interested in the special features of his bone armor ability; the unknown secrets hidden in the ruins of the Soul King; what exactly is Orochimaru’s purpose?
Lin Tian took a deep breath and looked up at the bright moon.
“No matter what, tomorrow’s exploration of the Spirit King ruins will be the key to further improving my strength!”
The latest status displayed on the system panel:
[Lin Tian’s strength: B level (15%)][System upgrade progress: 87/100][Abilities acquired: Bone armor control, healing light, basic Byakugan vision, eye of insight, regeneration of bone armor, omniscience, introduction to full-concentration breathing][Family: Hinata Hyuga (70/100), Orihime Inoue (80/100), Karin (85/100)][Family Candidates: Tsunade (47/100), Erina Nakiri (47/100), Rukia Kuchiki (23/100), Shinobu Kocho (15/100)]Lin Tian felt the power shared by the three clan members in his body, and his confidence increased.
“Bone armor control, healing light, and perception ability, the combination of these three abilities should be enough to deal with the challenge of the Soul King Ruins.”
His omniscient vision suddenly captured a hint of abnormal fluctuations in the distance, but when he concentrated his perception, the fluctuations had disappeared without a trace.
Lin Tian chuckled, turned and left Jingyue Lake.
“No matter who is watching from behind, they will never discover my true secret.”
Only he knows that the system is his biggest trump card and the guarantee of his invincibility in this anime world!
After returning to his residence, Lin Tian took stock of today’s gains and made final preparations for tomorrow’s exploration of the Spirit King’s ruins.
“System, take inventory of the items obtained today.”
The system responded immediately, and a blue light screen spread out in front of him:
【Item List:】
[1. Cooking Essence x 1: All attributes +30% after use, lasts for 3 minutes][2. Moonlight Dew x 3: After use, mental strength +20%, lasts for 2 hours][3. Butterfly Dance Badge × 1: Can establish a spiritual connection with Rukia Kuchiki][4. Tsunade’s Secret Medicine × 1: After use, temporarily increase strength to A-level, lasting 5 minutes]Looking at these items, Lin Tian curled up his lips into a confident smile.
“With these trump cards, plus the abilities shared by my three followers, I will definitely win a great victory in tomorrow’s exploration of the Spirit King ruins!”
He lay in bed, thinking about today’s interactions with Erina Nakiri and Karin.
Lin Tian was attracted by Erina Nakiri’s noble and cool temperament, her golden hair shining in the sun, and her focused expression when she was cooking.
And Xianglin… Lin Tian sighed softly. The charming red hair, jade-like skin, and the pair of eyes that always had a teasing meaning were simply a fatal temptation.
The feeling of her soft body against his shoulder during the Familia Awakening Ceremony seemed to still remain on his skin.
“When I become stronger, I will kill them all…” A gleam of greed flashed in Lin Tian’s eyes, and then he grinned, “Don’t worry, the fun has just begun.”
In this complex world, countless beauties are waiting for him to collect, and countless powerful abilities are waiting for him to obtain.
And he is the only one who knows the secret of all this.
Lin Tian enjoyed this feeling of control immensely.
“System, is there anything I need to pay attention to at the Spirit King Ruins tomorrow?”
[Soul King Ruins Intelligence: SS-level exploration area, top-level experts from the Death God world may exist][Exploration suggestion: Focus on finding the fragments of the Spirit King’s power. After completing them, you can activate the basic abilities of the God of Death.][Hidden Mission: Find and explore the Soul King’s secret room to get special rewards]Lin Tian seemed to be thinking: “The Soul King’s secret room… is exactly the place that Kuchiki Byakuya mentioned.”
His Eye of Insight and All-Seeing Vision simulated possible exploration routes in his mind, with every possible danger point and opportunity point marked out.
Suddenly, he remembered an important piece of information.
“System, do I remember any important events about to happen in the Naruto world recently?”
[Intelligence update: In three days, the Chunin Exam will be held in the Naruto world][Recommended action: Participate in the Chunin Exam to collect various ninjutsu ability fragments][Expected gains: Sharingan ability, Shadow Clone Technique, Shadow Snake Hand, etc.]“Chunin Exam!” Lin Tian sat up excitedly, “This is a classic plot in Naruto!”
The Chunin Exam means the appearance of Orochimaru, means Sasuke is cursed, and also means the gathering of many powerful people.
47: Kuchiki Rukia’s mysterious guidance, the Soul King’s Heart attracts covetousness! (Old version)
“Once we finish exploring the Soul King ruins, we’ll be able to take part in the Chunin Exams.”
Lin Tian was thinking, “Not only can I collect a lot of ability fragments, but I can also get in touch with more beauties in the Naruto world… If I can make Sakura or Temari become a family…”
Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but licking his lips, his eyes full of anticipation.
He opened the system panel and checked the current strength status:
[Estimated next upgrade: After completing the exploration of the Soul King Ruins]There are only 13 points of progress left before the system is upgraded to LV.3, and the exploration of the Soul King Ruins should be enough to provide these progress points.
The LV.3 system will unlock more functions and provide more powerful ability fusion options. By then his strength will be taken to a new level!
Lin Tian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to use the healing light to repair the slight energy loss in his body.
Green light flowed through his body, and the bone armor ability glowed faintly in the moonlight.
“bite!”
A ray of morning light passed through the curtains and fell on Lin Tian’s face.
He suddenly opened his eyes. Today was the day to explore the remains of the Spirit King!
“System, what’s my status?”
[Host Status: Prime][Bone Armor Strength: B Grade (17%)][Healing Light Activity: 93%][Omniscience Vision Range: 1050 meters]Lin Tian nodded with satisfaction. With enough rest last night and the enhancement of Orihime’s abilities, he was in better condition than ever before.
“I must reap a great harvest from today’s Spirit King Ruins!”
An hour later, Lin Tian was fully prepared.
His space bag is filled with various props: cooking essence, moonlight dew, Tsunade’s secret medicine…each one is a life-saving trump card.
Before leaving, he took out the fragment of the Spirit King’s seal and looked at it carefully.
This fragment is hexagonal in shape, with mysterious patterns engraved on its surface, and it glows a faint blue in the sun.
“What’s so special about it…” Lin Tian activated the Eye of Insight and stared at the fragments.
The light blue line of sight penetrated the surface and went deep into the fragments, and countless information flowed into the mind.
“Is this… a fragment of the Spirit King’s power?”
There is a terrifying energy contained within the fragment, but it seems to be sealed, with only faint fluctuations leaking out.
Lin Tian carefully collected the fragments and walked out of the room.
As soon as I walked out of the door, an elegant figure came into view.
“Good morning, Mr. Lin Tian.”
Rukia Kuchiki stood at the door, wearing a black death costume. Her neat short hair set off her delicate face, and her violet eyes sparkled with a lively light.
“Ms. Rukia, good morning.” Lin Tian smiled slightly, “I didn’t expect you to come.”
“My brother asked me to pick you up.” Rukia smiled, “The Soul King Ruins are very dangerous. I will accompany you throughout the journey.”
“Then I’ll trouble you.” Lin Tian pretended to ask casually, “Is there anything special in the Spirit King Ruins?”
Rukia blinked, “We’ll tell you the details when we get there. But…” She lowered her voice, “There is a special place in the ruins, called the Soul King’s Heart.”
“The Heart of the Spirit King?”
“It is said that there are strange items hidden there that can enhance the power of the god of death.” Rukia smiled mysteriously, “But no one has seen it.”
Lin Tian’s mind moved: “It seems that the Soul King’s secret room that Byakuya Kuchiki mentioned is this place.”
The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the “Gate of Soul” in the northern suburbs.
This is an ancient stone gate, about ten meters high, completely pitch black, engraved with strange runes, and emitting bursts of cold air.
There were already a few people waiting at the door.
Leading the group was Byakuya Kuchiki, who was wearing a captain’s haori and had a noble and cold demeanor.
Beside him stood several elite members of the 13th Division, each of them had extraordinary strength.
“You’re here.” Kuchiki Byakuya said expressionlessly, his eyes falling on Lin Tian, ​​”Did you bring the fragment of the Spirit King’s Seal?”
Lin Tian took out the fragment, and suddenly, the runes on the Soul Gate lit up blue light, echoing the fragment!
Kuchiki Byakuya nodded slightly, “Very good, now we can enter.”
He took out a strange-shaped key and inserted it into the hole in the door.
As the key turned, the huge stone door slowly opened, and an ancient and mysterious atmosphere blew in.
There was endless darkness inside the door, as if it led to another world.
“Everyone, please be careful. The Soul King Ruins have a complex structure and could be dangerous at any time.” Kuchiki Byakuya said seriously, “Follow me closely and do not act on your own.”
Everyone nodded and filed into the stone gate.
As soon as he stepped into it, Lin Tian felt dizzy and the darkness around him twisted like a whirlpool, swallowing up his consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a spacious hall.
The hall is paved with white marble and is surrounded by twelve exquisitely carved stone pillars. On top is a transparent dome, through which you can see the eerie purple sky outside.
48: The Senbonzakura fragments are in hand, and the Soul Lake is in trouble again! (Old version)
“This is the entrance hall of the Soul King Ruins.”
Kuchiki Byakuya explained, “There are seven areas leading from here.”
Lin Tian looked around and saw a circular pool in the center of the hall, with seven door patterns carved around the pool.
The “seven areas” mentioned by Byakuya Kuchiki refer to these seven gates.
“Each area has different trials.” Rukia added, “It is said that only by passing all the trials can you find the Heart of the Soul King.”
Byakuya Kuchiki walked over to the sink, took out a bottle of blue liquid, and poured it into it.
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the water surface and the patterns of the seven doors all lit up.
“The Soul King Ruins have been fully opened.” Kuchiki Byakuya turned to the crowd, “We will split into two groups, each exploring a different area.”
He looked at Lin Tian: “You are in a group with me and Rukia, and the others are in a group.”
Lin Tian nodded, secretly delighted. Following the Xiumu siblings, he would have a greater chance of coming into contact with the Heart of the Spirit King.
Kuchiki Byakuya checked the time: “From now on, we have six hours to explore. We must leave before the sun sets, otherwise we will be trapped here forever.”
Everyone nodded solemnly.
“Set off!”
Kuchiki Byakuya waved his hand and the two groups headed for different doors.
Lin Tian followed the Xiumu siblings to the door marked “1”.
“This is the sword area. It is said that it contains the essence of the strongest swordsmanship of the god of death.” Kuchiki Byakuya said, “Let’s start from here.”
The door opened easily and the three of them stepped inside.
What came into view was a wide training ground with countless swords of various kinds hanging around.
“Such a strong sword energy!” Lin Tian exclaimed.
Even though he was not an expert in swordsmanship, he could still feel the sharp sword intent in the air, as if it would cut his skin at any time.
Byakuya Kuchiki walked towards the center of the field, “Looks like we’re going to be tested in swordsmanship.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground in the center of the training ground suddenly cracked and a stone platform rose up.
There was an ordinary sword on the stone platform, which looked inconspicuous.
“This is…” Rukia looked at the sword in confusion.
“The Sword of Trial,” Byakuya Kuchiki explained, “We need to use it to complete some kind of test.”
Just as the three were guessing the content of the test, a line of words appeared on the stone platform:
“Use the weak to defeat the strong, use the soft to overcome the hard. Use this sword to challenge the sword spirit. The winner can take away the essence of swordsmanship.”
“Sword Spirit?” Lin Tian looked around and didn’t see any enemy.
Kuchiki Byakuya, however, looked solemn: “The sword soul is the soul of the sword. According to legend, every sword has its own soul.”
He looked at Lin Tian: “Your bone armor ability may be helpful in this trial, you try it first.”
Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, then walked forward and took down the Sword of Trial.
The sword felt light and weightless in his hand. The blade was already rusted and looked vulnerable.
“How can this sword possibly challenge the sword spirit…”
Just as Lin Tian was doubting, a spot of light suddenly appeared in the center of the training ground, and quickly expanded to form a swordsman made of pure energy!
The swordsman held a long sword that shone with cold light and exuded a terrifying aura.
“This is at least S-level strength!” Lin Tian’s heart trembled.
Before he could think about it, the sword spirit had already slashed at him!
“Be careful!” Rukia exclaimed.
Lin Tian instinctively raised his sword to block.
“clang!”
The Sword of Trial collided with the Sword Soul’s long sword, making a harsh metal collision sound.
What surprised Lin Tian was that the seemingly fragile Sword of Trial was actually intact!
“interesting…”
He instantly activated the bone armor to cover his right arm, and at the same time activated his omniscient vision to sense the sword spirit’s attack trajectory.
Each of Sword Spirit’s sword strikes was as fast as lightning and had terrifying power. Lin Tian could only barely parry.
“No, this sword is not meant for hard fighting…”
Thinking of the words on the stone platform – “Use the weak to defeat the strong, and use softness to overcome hardness”, Lin Tian suddenly understood something.
He no longer fought head-on, but instead used the power of the bone armor to guide the Sword of Trial to lightly touch the Sword Soul’s attack, using the force to relieve the attack!
The sword spirit attacked with a fierce horizontal slash, but Lin Tian did not retreat but advanced instead. He gently pulled the sword of trial, and the enemy sword slid across the sword body, and then he quickly counterattacked!
“laugh!”
The Sword of Trial pierced through the sword spirit’s chest, and the sword spirit turned into points of light and dissipated.
“I did it!” Rukia said in surprise.
Kuchiki Byakuya nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
The stone platform lit up again with words:
“If you pass the trial, please take the essence of swordsmanship.”
A small box emerged on the stone platform. Lin Tian opened the box and found a crystal clear blue crystal inside.
“Is this the essence of swordsmanship?” Lin Tian picked up the crystal and immediately felt a powerful sword intent surging into his mind.
[Obtain 5 pieces of Senbonzakura power][Senbonzakura Power Fragment: 18/20][Collect 2 more pieces to activate the “Senbonzakura” ability]Lin Tian was overjoyed. He didn’t expect to obtain 5 fragments in one trial. He was only 2 fragments away from activating the ability of Senbonzakura!
Byakuya Kuchiki came over and said, “Well done, your bone armor ability works very well with your swordsmanship.”
He looked at the crystal in Lin Tian’s hand: “Give it to me, I will keep it properly.”
Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, but still handed it over. The crystal had been absorbed by the system, and it was enough to get the fragments.
Kuchiki Byakuya put away the crystal and said, “Let’s go to the second area next.”
The three of them left the sword area and came to the door marked “Four”.
“This is the soul purification area. It is said to cleanse the impurities in the soul.” Rukia explained.
Behind the door is a silvery-white space with a small lake in the center. The water is milky white and emits a soft light.
“The Lake of Souls…” Kuchiki Byakuya said softly, “Legend has it that soaking in the water of this lake can purify the soul and increase spiritual power.”
Lin Tian approached the lake and felt a warm and pure energy.
[Found the fragment of the power of the Spirit King! 】
[Suggestion: Dip into the Soul Lake to obtain fragments]“We need someone to go down and try.” Kuchiki Byakuya looked at Lin Tian, ​​”Your bone armor ability is very adaptable, so it would be most appropriate for you to go.”
Lin Tian nodded: “I’ll try.”
He took off his coat and walked into the lake wearing only his lining.
The lake water was as warm as spring, and a wonderful energy enveloped his whole body, making him feel extremely relaxed.
As he went deeper, the lake water gradually covered his chest and the energy became stronger and stronger.
When the lake water was about to cover his head, Lin Tian suddenly felt a strong suction force pulling him to the bottom of the lake!
“Lin Tian!” Rukia exclaimed and wanted to jump into the lake.
49: Screams were heard from the sealed place, and Orochimaru showed up to cause big trouble! (Old version)
Byakuya Kuchiki stopped her:
“Don’t act rashly, this is part of the trial.”
At the bottom of the lake, Lin Tian found that he could breathe normally.
There is a magical space around, with countless light spots floating around like stars.
In front of him, there was a translucent humanoid creature suspended, emitting a holy light.
“Welcome to the Lake of Souls, seeker,” the humanoid said in a disembodied voice. “Do you come for power?”
Lin Tian nodded: “Yes.”
“Power is never free,” the humanoid said. “You have to pay for it.”
“You have the soul imprints of three of your clan members in your body. Hand over one of them and I can give you a fragment of the power of the Spirit King.”
Lin Tian was shocked: “Hand over your family?”
This would mean giving up the family ties with Hinata Hyuga, Orihime Inoue or Karin, which is absolutely unacceptable!
The clan in his body is not only a source of power, but also an important asset and support for him to conquer the world!
“Is there any other choice?” Lin Tian asked.
The humanoid creature was silent for a moment: “Yes. Use your blood to draw the spiritual seal, and I can directly extract a part of your vitality.”
“How to do it specifically?”
“Bite your finger and draw a spiritual seal on the stone tablet in front of you.”
Lin Tian looked forward and saw a stone tablet.
“System, what will be the consequences if I do this?”
【Analyzing…】
[Life force loss: 5%, can be recovered within three days][Benefits: Soul King Power Fragments x 3, Soul Power Increased by 10%]The loss is acceptable, and the profit is considerable! Lin Tian decisively bit his finger and began to draw the spiritual seal on the stone tablet.
He had no idea how to draw spiritual seals, but the magical thing was that his fingers seemed to be guided by an invisible force and automatically drew complex patterns.
The moment the spiritual seal was completed, a powerful energy surged out from the stone tablet and injected into Lin Tian’s body!
“Hmm!”
Lin Tian felt a sharp pain, as if someone was extracting his life essence.
But soon, the pain disappeared, and was replaced by a powerful energy flowing through the body.
The humanoid nodded, “You passed the test, and this is your reward.”
A ball of dazzling light flew towards Lin Tian and merged into his body.
[Obtain Soul King Power Fragment × 3][Spirit King Power Fragment: 5/30][Gain special ability: spiritual pressure perception][Spiritual power increase: +10%]Before Lin Tian could think about it, he was pushed back to the surface of the lake by a force.
“Lin Tian!” Lucia stepped forward quickly and helped him ashore. “What happened?”
Lin Tian briefly recounted his experience at the bottom of the lake, of course omitting the part about the system and clan.
There was a flash of surprise in Kuchiki Byakuya’s eyes: “You actually gained the ability to sense spiritual pressure… It seems that the Soul King Ruins really recognize you.”
Lin Tian smiled and said, “Just good luck.”
“No, this is definitely not luck.” Kuchiki Byakuya said seriously, “The power of the Soul King is extremely rare, and there are few people who can obtain fragments.”
He looked at Lin Tian thoughtfully: “Your bone armor ability is indeed special, and it seems to resonate with the power of the Spirit King.”
Lin Tian’s heart moved: “Could this be the real reason why he invited me here?”
While I was thinking, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance!
“What’s going on?” Rukia held her Zanpakuto vigilantly.
Byakuya Kuchiki frowned, “From the seventh area, maybe the other group is in trouble.”
The three of them quickly left the soul purification area and headed towards the seventh area.
The door to the seventh area had been violently destroyed, and the sound of fierce fighting was heard from inside the door.
“Be careful.” Kuchiki Byakuya drew his Zanpakutō, “The seventh area is a sealed area, and there are many dangerous items sealed inside.”
The three of them entered the door cautiously, and the scene before them surprised them.
The other group of members of the Thirteenth Division all fell to the ground, their lives or deaths unknown.
And in the center of the sealed land, a man in a white robe is destroying a huge seal!
“Stop!” Kuchiki Byakuya shouted loudly and rushed towards the man in an instant.
The man turned around, revealing a pale face, his golden snake eyes flashing with greed.
“Orochimaru!” Lin Tian exclaimed.
That’s right, it’s Orochimaru, the S-rank rebel ninja from the Naruto world!
“Haha, Captain Kuchiki, long time no see.” Orochimaru smiled grimly, “I didn’t expect you to personally lead people to the Soul King Ruins.”
Kuchiki Byakuya asked coldly: “How did you get in?”
“Of course it’s this.” Orochimaru shook the object in his hand—it was actually a fragment of the Soul King’s mark similar to Lin Tian’s!
“As expected, you also have the mark of the Soul King.” Kuchiki Byakuya’s expression became even more serious.
Orochimaru sneered, “I’m not the only one… Kabuto Yakushi, come out and meet the guests.”
A silver-haired boy walked out of the shadows, his eyes behind the lenses flashing with a cold light.
It is Orochimaru’s right-hand man, Kabuto Yakushi!
“Long time no see, Captain Kuchiki, and…” Kabuto’s gaze shifted to Lin Tian, ​​”Mr. Lin Tian.”
Lin Tian’s heart was shocked: “He knows me?”
Orochimaru looked at Lin Tian with interest: “Is this the bone armor user you mentioned? Interesting…”
Kuchiki Byakuya stopped talking nonsense and stepped forward instantly, pointing his Zanpakuto directly at Orochimaru’s throat!
“Thousand cherry blossoms scattered.”
Countless cherry blossom-like blades emerged and swept towards Orochimaru!
Orochimaru smiled strangely, twisting his body like rubber and easily avoiding the attack.
“As expected of the captain of the 13th Division, his strength is indeed extraordinary.”
He formed seals with his hands: “Shadow Snake Hand!”
Dozens of giant snakes jumped out from his sleeves and pounced on Kuchiki Byakuya!
Kuchiki Byakuya was not in a hurry. The Senbonzakura drew a graceful arc in the air and cut off all the giant snakes.
At the same time, Rukia had already drawn her Zanpakutō and was facing Kabuto Yakushi.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Rukia.” Kabuto pushed up his glasses, “No need to do anything, I’m not interested in you.”
Rukia asked warily, “What is your purpose here?”
50: The power of the bone armor shocked Kabuto, and the sixth area memory hall actually hides the shocking secret of the Soul King’s throne! (Old version)
“Of course, we are looking for the Heart of the Spirit King.”
Kabuto smiled and said, “But now it seems that there are more interesting discoveries.”
His eyes fell on Lin Tian: “Bone armor users…very special abilities.”
Lin Tian knew that he could no longer stand by and watch, so he instantly activated his bone armor, covering his right arm with hard bone armor. At the same time, he used his omniscience to sense Dou’s weaknesses.
“Eye of Insight!”
Lin Tian’s pupils turned light blue, and all the details around him became extremely clear.
He saw the chakra flow in Kabuto’s body and found several key acupuncture points.
“superior!”
Lin Tian rushed towards Dou in an instant, and his right fist covered with bone armor went straight to Dou’s heart point!
A hint of surprise flashed in Dou’s eyes, and he quickly stepped back, but Lin Tian’s speed was beyond his expectations.
“Bang!”
The bone armor hit Kabuto’s chest hard, knocking him several meters away!
“Ahem…” Dou covered his chest, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, “Such a strong force… It actually penetrated my defense.”
Lin Tian did not give him a chance to breathe and rushed forward again. The bone armor extended from his arm to form a sharp bone blade!
“Bone Blade Thrust!”
Kabuto managed to dodge, but the bone blade still cut through his clothes, leaving a shallow scar on his chest.
“Lin Tian, ​​be careful!”
As soon as Rukia’s warning sounded, Lin Tian felt a chill on his back.
He instinctively jumped to the side and barely avoided Orochimaru’s sneak attack!
“Good reaction.” Orochimaru licked his lips, “I’m becoming more and more interested.”
Lin Tian was shocked. He found that Orochimaru had bypassed Byakuya Kuchiki and was coming straight for him!
Kuchiki Byakuya quickly appeared in front of Lin Tian: “Orochimaru, your opponent is me.”
The Senbonzakura exploded again, and the cherry blossom-like blades forced Orochimaru back.
“Kabuto, let’s go.” Orochimaru suddenly ordered, “We have enough information.”
Kabuto nodded, stopped fighting Lin Tian, ​​and retreated to Orochimaru’s side.
“Captain Kuchiki, see you next time.” Orochimaru smiled sinisterly, and his body dissolved into the ground like mud.
Before leaving, Dou gave Lin Tian a meaningful look and said, “Mr. Lin Tian, ​​we will meet again.”
After the two disappeared, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief: “Why are they here?”
Byakuya Kuchiki put away his Zanpakutō, “Orochimaru has plans for the Soul King’s Heart, he must have been prepared.”
He walked towards the fallen team members and checked their injuries: “They are all just unconscious, not in danger of life.”
Rukia looked at Lin Tian in surprise: “Your bone armor ability can actually hurt Kabuto Yakushi… It’s amazing.”
Lin Tian smiled modestly: “Just good luck. Dou obviously didn’t use his full strength.”
Byakuya Kuchiki looked at the seal that was broken by Orochimaru: “They must have taken something.”
The center of the seal was empty, obviously the sealed item had been taken away.
“What is it?” Lin Tian asked curiously.
“I don’t know.” Kuchiki Byakuya frowned, “Each seal contains different items, and some don’t even have records.”
He looked at Lin Tian and Rukia: “We must speed up and find the Heart of the Soul King. For the remaining areas, we will go directly to the sixth area.”
“Why is it the sixth area?” Lin Tian asked.
“According to ancient records, the Soul King’s Heart should be somewhere in the sixth area,” Kuchiki Byakuya explained, “We don’t have time to explore it one by one.”
The three of them quickly headed to Area 6, leaving a few conscious team members behind to take care of the wounded.
The door to the sixth area is translucent and emits a faint silver light.
Inside the door is a circular hall with countless crystal balls suspended around it, each with a different scene.
“The Hall of Memory…” Kuchiki Byakuya said softly, “Some of the Soul King’s memories are collected here.”
Lin Tian curiously approached a crystal ball, which showed a vast battlefield with countless Grim Reapers and Voids fighting.
“The Winter War a thousand years ago…” Kuchiki Byakuya explained, “The first large-scale war between the Shinigami and the Hollows.”
Lin Tian looked at another crystal ball. Inside was a person wearing a gorgeous robe. His face was blurry, but he exuded a suffocating majesty.
“Is that the Spirit King?”
Kuchiki Byakuya nodded: “That’s right.”
Lin Tian continued to observe, and suddenly the system prompt sounded:
[Hint: There are hidden fragments of power in the crystal ball]Lin Tian looked around, not sure which crystal ball contained the fragment.
At this moment, the fragment of the Spirit King’s mark on his waist suddenly lit up, pointing to a particularly large crystal ball deep in the hall.
“There…”
The three of them walked towards the crystal ball, which showed a mysterious secret room with a transparent chair in the center and a blurry figure sitting on it.
“Found it!” Kuchiki Byakuya couldn’t hide his excitement, “This is the entrance to the Soul King’s Heart!”
He checked around the crystal ball and found a groove: “It requires the Spirit King’s Seal to open it.”
Lin Tian took out the fragment of the mark and put it into the groove.
Cracks appeared on the surface of the crystal ball, and then the entire sphere shattered, revealing a portal!
“Let’s go.” Kuchiki Byakuya was the first to step into the portal.
Lin Tian and Lukia followed closely behind.
After passing through the portal, the three came to a small secret room.
In the center of the secret room is the transparent chair, and next to the chair stands a black stone tablet.
“The throne of the Soul King…” Kuchiki Byakuya said in awe.
Lin Tian walked towards the stone tablet, which was engraved with ancient characters. He could actually understand them:
“Those who sit on the throne of the Spirit King can obtain the power of the Spirit King; those who are not the Spirit King’s followers will suffer the annihilation of their souls.”
“The Spirit King’s family?” Lin Tian asked curiously.
Kuchiki Byakuya shook his head: “From what I know, the Soul King no longer has any followers.”
He walked towards the chair and observed it carefully: “There is some residual power of the Spirit King on the chair, but it is very weak and cannot be absorbed directly.”
Lin Tian’s mind moved: “Then let me try?”
Kuchiki Byakuya and Rukia were both shocked: “It’s too dangerous!”
51: Challenging the Soul King’s Throne, the fate of the situation is uncertain, the Kuchiki siblings are shocked! (Old version)
“It was written on the stone tablet just now that those who are not followers of the Soul King will have their souls annihilated.” Rukia said worriedly.
Lin Tian smiled and said: “My bone armor ability resonates with the Spirit King’s mark, maybe…”
Kuchiki Byakuya thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps we can give it a try. You do have some connection with the power of the Soul King.”
Lin Tian took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the transparent chair.
[Warning: The Soul King’s Throne contains SS-level energy and may cause a strong energy shock][Suggestion: Activate bone armor to protect the body core]Lin Tian quickly activated the bone armor all over his body. The green healing light wrapped around the white bone armor, emitting a unique luster.
“This is…” Rukia looked at Lin Tian’s bone armor in surprise, “Regenerative bone armor?”
Lin Tian smiled slightly without explaining. Only he knew that this was a unique ability that was fused with the awakening of the Inoue Orihime clan.
He took a deep breath and slowly sat on the transparent chair.
In an instant, an incomparably powerful energy surged like a tide!
The transparent chair emitted a dazzling blue light, and the entire secret room shook!
“Lin Tian!” Rukia shouted worriedly.
Byakuya Kuchiki stopped Rukia from coming forward: “Don’t get close, the energy is too dangerous.”
Lin Tian felt as if millions of needles were piercing his body, every cell was trembling, and every nerve was burning!
But his regenerative bone armor worked in time, and the green healing light continued to repair the damage caused by the energy impact.
“This pain…is worth it…” Lin Tian gritted his teeth.
He felt something awakening inside his body, an unprecedented powerful force flowing through his blood!
The system prompts sounded one after another:
[Obtain Soul King Power Fragments x 10][Spirit King Power Fragment: 15/30][Discover special item: Eye of the Spirit King][Analyzing…][Eye of the Soul King: SS-level special item that can enhance visual abilities][The bone armor resonates with the power of the Spirit King and is fusing…][Fusion completed! Gained new ability: Wraithbone Armor][Effect: The strength of the original bone armor is increased by 100%, and it can absorb spiritual power to strengthen itself][System upgrade progress: 87/100→98/100]The severe pain gradually subsided, Lin Tian opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by a layer of light blue light.
His bone armor has changed, with blue lines flashing on the surface, like flowing spiritual power.
“Successful?” Kuchiki Byakuya looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.
Lin Tian slowly stood up, feeling the surging power in his body: “Not only did I succeed, but I also gained something extra.”
In his hand, a thumb-sized blue crystal shaped like an eye appeared.
“The Eye of the Soul King!” Kuchiki Byakuya exclaimed, “The legendary holy object!”
Lin Tian put the crystal in his arms. He knew that this was a hint from the system. In fact, the Eye of the Spirit King had been absorbed by the system.
“How do you feel?” Rukia asked with concern.
“Unprecedentedly powerful.” Lin Tian answered truthfully.
He could now clearly sense every bit of spiritual energy flowing in the secret room, and could even see the spiritual pressure in the Kuchiki siblings’ bodies.
“Your bone armor… has changed.” Kuchiki Byakuya stared at Lin Tian’s armor, “This pattern… looks like the mark of the Spirit King’s power.”
Lin Tian shrugged: “Maybe it’s the residual power of the chair.”
Kuchiki Byakuya thought, “Anyway, this is an amazing discovery. The Soul King’s Throne actually recognized you.”
Just as the three were discussing, the entire secret room suddenly shook violently!
“What’s going on?” Rukia asked in panic.
Kuchiki Byakuya’s expression changed: “Oh no, the ruins are beginning to collapse! We must leave immediately!”
The three of them quickly passed through the portal and returned to the Hall of Memory.
The crystal balls in the hall shattered one after another, and the entire area began to collapse!
“Go!”
The three of them rushed to the exit as fast as they could, and saw other areas beginning to collapse along the way.
“Orochimaru and the others destroyed the seal, causing the entire ruins to become unstable!” Kuchiki Byakuya said as he ran.
When they returned to the entrance hall, they found the rest of the team waiting.
“Captain! The ruins are collapsing!” a team member reported anxiously.
“Gather everyone and evacuate immediately!” Kuchiki Byakuya ordered.
Everyone quickly passed through the Soul Gate and returned to the real world.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, the stone door behind him collapsed and turned into rubble.
“It was too dangerous…” Rukia breathed a sigh of relief, “Luckily we got out in time.”
Lin Tian’s heart was filled with joy. The harvest from this exploration of the Spirit King’s ruins exceeded expectations!
Kuchiki Byakuya straightened his clothes and regained his usual calmness: “This exploration ends here. Orochimaru’s appearance was an accident, but we also made an important discovery.”
He looked at Lin Tian: “Especially you, you have shown amazing adaptability.”
Lin Tian bowed his head modestly: “Thank you for your guidance, Captain.”
“Give me the Eye of the Soul King. I need to give it to the captain-general.” Kuchiki Byakuya stretched out his hand.
Lin Tian shook his head in embarrassment: “I’m afraid not. The Eye of the Spirit King seems to have merged with me.”
He told a little lie, but no one could prove it.
Kuchiki Byakuya frowned, but did not force it: “Well, the Soul King’s Throne chose you, and the Soul King’s Eyes recognized you. This may be fate’s arrangement.”
He looked at the sky and said, “It’s getting late, Rukia, send Lin Tian back to rest. Come to the 13th Division headquarters tomorrow. We need to record today’s findings in detail.”
Rukia nodded, “Yes, brother.”
Byakuya Kuchiki left with the rest of the team, leaving Lin Tian and Rukia behind.
“Today was really thrilling and fruitful.” Lin Tian said with a smile.
Rukia looked at him curiously, “Your bone armor has become stronger, right?”
Lin Tian nodded: “Yes, I feel that my strength has more than doubled.”
“What about the Eye of the Spirit King? What does it do?”
“The details are still unclear and it will take time to explore.” Lin Tian pretended to be mysterious.
The two chatted as they walked and soon arrived at Lin Tian’s residence.
“We’re here. Thank you for sending me back.” Lin Tian said with a smile.
Rukia looked at him, her violet eyes sparkling with a strange light: “Lin Tian…you are really special.”
Her voice was soft, with a hint of imperceptible emotion, and her delicate face looked particularly charming in the moonlight.
Lin Tian’s heart moved. This was a good opportunity to increase the degree of his clan!
52: Tsunade’s solemn visit, has something serious happened? (Old version)
“Ms. Rukia, you are so kind.”
He said gently, casually taking a step closer, “I’m so grateful for your help today.”
Rukia blushed slightly but didn’t back off, “You’re welcome. I…I’m glad I could help you.”
She looked down at her watch and said, “It’s getting late. I should go back. See you tomorrow?”
Lin Tian nodded: “See you tomorrow.”
After Lukia left, the system prompt sounded:
[Kuchiki Rukia’s family degree: 23/100 → 30/100]“Good progress.” Lin Tian nodded with satisfaction.
Returning to the room, he immediately opened the system panel to check today’s harvest:
[Gain new ability: Wraithbone Armor][Obtained Item: Eye of the Spirit King (already fused)][System upgrade progress: 98/100]“Only 2 points away from upgrading to LV.3!” Lin Tian thought excitedly.
The LV.3 system will unlock more functions, especially cross-border integration capabilities, and his strength will then reach a new level!
He took out the various items he had obtained today and examined them one by one.
“Eye of the Soul King…”
He focused his mind on the Eye of the Spirit King that was absorbed by the system, and suddenly a strange energy gathered in the eye.
The vision suddenly changed, and everything around became different!
He could see the spirit particles flowing in the air, the figures behind the wall, and even the flow of spiritual energy in the bodies of pedestrians on the street in the distance!
“It’s amazing!” Lin Tian exclaimed.
[Activate the Eye of the Spirit King][Effect: Visual range increased by 200%, can see through spiritual substances, can see through camouflage][Integrating with the Omniscient Vision…][Fusion successful! New ability gained: omniscience][Effect: The range of omniscience is expanded to 2000 meters, and it can penetrate any material and directly see the energy flow in living things]“Another successful fusion!” Lin Tian was ecstatic.
His omniscience has evolved again, and now he can see almost everything within a two-kilometer radius!
This ability would be an unparalleled advantage in battle, as no one could hide their weaknesses from his omniscience.
Moreover, this ability is also very helpful in collecting female relatives… Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but smile evilly.
“System, are there any special reminders for the Chunin Exam in three days?”
[Information update: The Chunin Exam will be held in Konoha Village][Participants include: Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Gaara, Hyuga Neji, etc.][Special note: During the exam, Orochimaru will sneak into the forest trial area to attack Sasuke][Recommended action: sneak into the forest trial area in advance to obtain various ninjutsu fragments]“One of the most classic plots in Naruto!” Lin Tian rubbed his hands excitedly.
The Chunin Exam is an important chapter in Naruto, bringing together talented young men from various ninja villages. It is also the battlefield where Orochimaru made his first official appearance.
If he could collect fragments of various ninjutsu there, his strength would increase again.
More importantly, there are many beauties there, such as Temari, Tenten, Sakura, etc., all of whom are potential candidates for the family!
“After meeting Byakuya Kuchiki tomorrow, I will start preparing for the Chunin Exam.” Lin Tian planned.
He took out the secret medicine Tsunade gave him and placed it on the bedside: “Save this for the Chunin Exams. It might come in handy.”
After washing up, Lin Tian lay on the bed, thinking about what he had gained today.
The exploration of the Soul King’s ruins was a great success, and he obtained the Soul King’s Power Fragments and the Thousand Cherry Blossoms’ Power Fragments, as well as the two powerful abilities of the Soul King’s Eye and Soul Bone Armor.
The degree of Kuchiki Rukia’s family has also been improved, and she is expected to develop into the fourth family member in the future.
More importantly, the system will be upgraded to LV.3 soon, when the fusion of capabilities will be even more powerful.
“As long as I continue to collect fragments and develop my clan… in the near future, I will be able to…”
Lin Tian closed his eyes, and in his dream he saw a glorious future – he was standing on a high throne, surrounded by his clansmen, and beneath him were the powerful men he had conquered.
In the dim morning light, Lin Tian woke up feeling refreshed.
Last night’s beautiful dream seemed to be still continuing, and he could feel the power in his body surging through his blood vessels!
“System, status check.”
[Strength assessment: B level (24%)][Spirit Bone Armor Strength: Increased by 100%][Coverage range of clairvoyance: 2000 meters]Lin Tian stretched and smiled with satisfaction. The exploration of the Spirit King ruins greatly improved his strength, and he was already at the top level of B-level strength!
After getting up and washing, Lin Tian opened the window and took a deep breath of the fresh morning air.
“I have to go to the Thirteenth Division headquarters today to take notes, and then start preparing for the Chunin Exams,” he muttered to himself.
Just as he was about to go out, there was a soft knock on the door.
“It’s me, Tsunade.” A familiar voice came from outside the door.
Lin Tian’s eyes lit up and he immediately opened the door.
Tsunade was wearing her signature green jacket and grey trousers, her long blond hair was casually tied behind her head, her proud figure was fully visible under the tight clothes, and she had a rare solemn expression on her face.
“Lin Tian, ​​I got the news that you came into contact with the Throne of the Soul King yesterday?” Tsunade went straight to the point.
Lin Tian nodded: “Yes, Byakuya Kuchiki took me to the Soul King Ruins.”
“Come in.” Tsunade walked into the room and closed the door behind her.
Lin Tian was secretly happy in his heart. Tsunade’s clan degree had reached 47 points, only one step away from 60 points.
53: Karin’s Black Skirt Temptation: The Big Secret Behind the Chunin Exam! (Old Version)
This time of being alone together is a good opportunity to increase the family’s strength!
“The power contained in the Soul King’s Throne is extremely dangerous. If ordinary people come into contact with it, their souls will be annihilated.” Tsunade said seriously, “But you are unharmed and even obtained the Soul King’s Eye.”
Lin Tian pretended to be surprised: “How do you know about the Eye of the Spirit King?”
“There are no secrets in the Central City.” Tsunade smiled slightly, “Especially when it comes to the Soul King.”
She looked at Lin Tian seriously: “Tell me the truth, what changes do you feel?”
Lin Tian pretended to think: “My bone armor has become stronger. It seems to be able to absorb spiritual energy to strengthen defense.”
“That’s it?” Tsunade raised her eyebrows, obviously not quite believing it.
“And my eyesight has gotten better and I can see farther.” Lin Tian added, but he didn’t dare to reveal too much for fear of arousing suspicion.
Tsunade was silent for a moment, and suddenly reached out and pressed on Lin Tian’s shoulder. A warm energy flowed into his body, as if exploring something.
Lin Tian’s heart tightened, and he secretly activated his bone armor to protect the core in his body and prevent Tsunade from discovering the existence of the system.
“Well, the bone armor has indeed become stronger.” Tsunade retracted her hand, “but there are no other abnormalities.”
She breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression softened. “I was worried that the power of the Spirit King would have a negative impact on you. It seems that I was worrying too much.”
Lin Tian smiled secretly in his heart. The secrets of the system and the clan would naturally not be discovered. This was a power that belonged only to him, and it was his trump card for ruling the world of Zongman!
“Thank you for your concern, Lady Tsunade.” Lin Tian said sincerely.
Tsunade waved her hands: “Don’t call me sir, it’s too formal.”
She looked around the room, her eyes falling on the secret medicine on the bedside table: “It seems that you haven’t used the secret medicine I gave you yet.”
“I haven’t encountered a situation where I need to use it yet.” Lin Tian said with a smile.
Tsunade nodded, “Keep it, it might come in handy soon.”
She pulled out a scroll from her bosom: “This is Konoha Village’s pass to the Chunin Exam. You can participate as a special observer in the exam in three days.”
Lin Tian took the scroll in surprise: “Why give me this?”
“Two reasons.” Tsunade leaned against the table, her posture casual and elegant, “One is to verify whether your strength is worthy of being promoted to a formal member of the council; the second is…”
She hesitated, “Orochimaru will most likely show up during the exam, and I need you to help me monitor his movements.”
Lin Tian was secretly happy, this was exactly what he wanted!
“I’ll try my best,” he said solemnly.
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction and stood up to leave: “We’ll leave the day after tomorrow. I’ll go to Konoha Village with you.”
She walked to the door and suddenly turned around: “Oh, I forgot to tell you the most important thing.”
Lin Tian looked at her curiously.
“According to my observation, after your bone armor and the power of the Soul King have merged, your strength is close to A-level.” Tsunade smiled and said, “Congratulations.”
Lin Tian opened his eyes wide in surprise: “Really?”
“Really.” Tsunade said affirmatively, “Keep working hard, your potential is far more than this.”
After saying that, she gently closed the door and left.
The system prompt sounded immediately:
[Tsunade family degree: 47/100→52/100][Item Obtained: Chunin Exam Special Observer Pass][The system detected SS-level intelligence][Analysis in progress… Big events will happen in Konoha’s Chunin Exams, we recommend you to actively participate]“Chūnin Exam!” Lin Tian clenched his fists excitedly.
This is one of the most classic plots in Naruto, which brings together talented young men from various ninja villages, and is also the battlefield where Orochimaru made his first official appearance.
Lin Tian quickly packed up his things and went to the 13th Division headquarters to report to Byakuya Kuchiki.
An hour later, he stood in Byakuya Kuchiki’s office and briefly reported his experience in the Soul King’s Throne, of course omitting the parts related to the system.
“The collapse of the Soul King’s ruins was an accident, but your acquisition of the Soul King’s Eye was a major achievement,” commented Byakuya Kuchiki.
He flipped through the information at hand: “According to ancient records, the Eye of the Spirit King can see through the essence of spiritual power. It is a very precious power.”
Lin Tian bowed his head modestly: “I will use this power properly.”
“Will you take part in the Chunin Exam in two days?” Kuchiki Byakuya suddenly asked.
Lin Tian looked up in surprise: “Captain also knows?”
“Of course, as the captain of Squad 13, I will be notified of important events in the Central City,” Kuchiki Byakuya said calmly, “Rukia will go too.”
Lin Tian’s mind moved: Another opportunity to increase the strength of Rukia’s family!
“Lady Tsunade just gave me a special observer pass.” Lin Tian told the truth.
Byakuya Kuchiki nodded, “That’s right. Rukia will be on standby in the forest trial area, you can look after each other.”
He took out a small device and handed it to Lin Tian: “This is a soul phone for communication. It can keep in touch with Rukia.”
Lin Tian took the device, thanked him and left the 13th Division headquarters.
There are still three days left until the Chunin Exam, so he decided to go find Karin first to learn more about Orochimaru.
In a quiet little courtyard in the eastern part of the city, the red-haired Karin was preparing a potion.
Sensing Lin Tian’s approach, she said without even looking up, “Come in, my master.”
Lin Tian pushed the door open and walked in. The scene in front of him made him breathe hard.
Today, Karin was wearing a tight black short skirt that showed off her long legs, and a low-cut purple shirt that highlighted her curvaceous figure. Her red hair was like a waterfall, sparkling in the sun.
“Have you seen enough?” Xianglin blinked mischievously and smiled charmingly.
Lin Tian coughed lightly: “What medicine should I take?”
“Perception enhancer.” Karin picked up a small bottle with lavender liquid in it. “Use it to temporarily double your perception range.”
She walked up to Lin Tian and placed the small bottle in his hands: “This is for you. You may need it during the Chunin Exam.”
Lin Tian was surprised: “You also know about the Chunin Exam?”
“Of course.” Karin flipped her hair, “Lord Orochimaru has been preparing for a long time. He has a big plan to implement.”
Lin Tian immediately became alert: “What plan?”
54: Hinata blushes: Lin Tian touches her face and triggers a crisis (old version)
Xianglin smiled mysteriously: “I can’t tell you this, even if you are my master.”
She moved closer to Lin Tian, ​​her red lips almost touching his ear: “But I can tell you that Sasuke-kun is one of the targets.”
Lin Tian understood in his heart that in the plot, Orochimaru was indeed coming for Sasuke’s Sharingan.
“Will you take part in the Chunin Exam?” Lin Tian asked.
Karin nodded, “I will be in the forest trial area, but not as a contestant.”
She winked playfully: “Maybe we’ll meet in the forest, Master~”
“Then I’m looking forward to it.” Lin Tian said with a smile, while secretly thinking about how to use Xianglin to obtain more information.
“By the way, Master.” Karin suddenly said seriously, “Lord Orochimaru is very interested in your bone armor, especially after hearing that you entered the Soul King Ruins.”
Lin Tian frowned: “What does he want to do?”
“They might find a chance to test your abilities.” Karin warned, “Be careful.”
Although Karin is already Lin Tian’s family member, she obviously still maintains a certain loyalty to Orochimaru. This complex stance actually provides Lin Tian with more sources of intelligence.
“Thanks for the reminder.” Lin Tian nodded and decided to use this as an advantage.
Karin changed the subject: “How do you feel after your clan awakens? Has my perception ability helped you?”
“Of course.” Lin Tian smiled, “Thanks to your perception ability, I can now detect everything within two kilometers.”
Xianglin’s beautiful eyes lit up: “Two thousand meters? That far?”
“The harvest from the Spirit King’s ruins.” Lin Tian did not elaborate.
He checked the time, “I have to go, I have to prepare for the Chunin Exams.”
Xianglin walked him to the door, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him lightly on the cheek: “Good luck, my master.”
She opened her red lips slightly, her voice as smooth as silk: “If you can come back alive from the forest trial, I will give you a special reward~”
Lin Tian’s heart warmed up and he couldn’t help but think of the content of the “special reward”.
After leaving Karin’s residence, Lin Tian went straight to the Hyuga family’s mansion to see how Hinata was doing.
As a famous family in Konoha, the Hyuga family also has an exclusive area in the Central City. Lin Tian soon came to an elegant traditional building with two Byakugan ninjas standing at the door.
“Lord Lin Tian.” The guard saluted respectfully. It was obvious that he had been recognized by the family as Hinata’s clan leader.
Lin Tian nodded in return: “Is Miss Hinata home?”
“Miss is training in the backyard, please follow me.”
Lin Tian followed the guards through the quiet corridor and came to a spacious training ground.
Hinata was practicing her soft fist, wearing a traditional white ninja uniform, her long hair gently fluttering with her movements, with a unique elegance.
Sensing Lin Tian’s arrival, she immediately stopped and a faint blush appeared on her face.
“Lin-Lin Tianjun.” She called softly, lowering her head shyly.
Even though she has become a member of the family, Hinata still maintains her gentle and shy personality, which makes Lin Tian feel particularly eager to conquer her.
“Hinata, I came to see your training situation.” Lin Tian smiled, “I heard that you are going to take part in the Chunin Exam?”
Hinata nodded, “Yes, my father hopes that I can demonstrate the strength of the Hyuga family in the exam.”
She raised her head, her beautiful eyes flashing with determination: “I…I will try my best!”
Lin Tian walked up to her and patted her shoulder gently: “Are you confident?”
Hinata bit her lower lip, “To be honest… I’m a little scared.”
Lin Tian recalled the scene in the original work where Hinata was beaten almost to death by Neci in the Chunin Exam, and his heart moved.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be there,” he comforted her, “Besides, you’re much stronger than you were before.”
After the clan awakened, Hinata not only gained some of the abilities of the Bone Armor, but the ability of the Byakugan was also enhanced due to Lin Tian’s omniscience.
“Really?” Hinata’s eyes lit up with hope.
Lin Tian nodded: “Of course, we can use these three days to strengthen our training.”
This is not only to help Hinata, but also to prepare for his own combat power. As a family member, the stronger Hinata is, the stronger the ability sharing that Lin Tian can get from her will be.
“Thank you, Lin Tianjun.” Hinata smiled shyly.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, onto her delicate face, outlining a beautiful picture.
There was a pure light flashing in her big eyes, her rosy lips were slightly parted, her long hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and her whole body exuded a youthful and pure aura.
Lin Tian was so fascinated by her that he couldn’t help but reach out and stroke her cheek: “You are so beautiful.”
Hinata’s face flushed but she didn’t shy away from his touch.
“Lin-Lin Tianjun…”
“Ahem.” A cold cough interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere.
Hyuga Neji stood not far away, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
“Miss Hinata, the clan leader wants to see you,” he said, with a barely perceptible hint of hostility in his voice.
Hinata quickly took a step back and bowed apologetically to Lin Tian: “I-I have to go see my father.”
“Go ahead, I’ll come to train with you tomorrow.” Lin Tian said with a smile.
After Hinata left, Neji looked at Lin Tian coldly: “Mr. Lin Tian, ​​please don’t interfere with Miss Hinata’s practice.”
55: Surprise! Erina whispers: Orochimaru wants to massacre Konoha (old version)
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows: “I just came to care about her situation. As her… friend, this is normal, right?”
Neji snorted, “The Chunin Exams are no joke. Fate has already decided who will pass and who will fail.”
Lin Tian smiled in his heart. This was exactly what Ningci said in the original novel. His obsession with fate was finally broken in the battle with Naruto.
“Destiny?” Lin Tian deliberately asked back, “Do you really believe in this kind of thing?”
There was a flicker in Neji’s eyes: “You won’t understand.”
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Lin Tian alone in the training ground.
“Ningci… is also a collection target.” Lin Tian said to himself.
The complete version of the Byakugan Kekkei Genkai will be one of his important collections.
After leaving the Hyuga Mansion, Lin Tian decided to go to the Bankai Dining Hall to relax and find out more information about the Chunin Exam.
The Wanjie Canteen was bustling with people, and the aroma of various delicacies filled the air.
As soon as he found a seat and sat down, Lin Tian saw a familiar figure – Erina Nakiri was busy in the kitchen area not far away.
Her long golden hair sparkled under the light, and her delicate face looked particularly attractive because of her hard work. She was wearing a white chef’s uniform, which perfectly outlined her slender figure.
“Erina!” Lin Tian greeted.
Erina looked up and saw that it was him. She nodded slightly and continued to focus on the food in her hands.
Lin Tian waited patiently, and soon Erina came over with a plate of exquisite food.
“I heard you’re going to take part in the Chunin Exam?” She placed the food in front of Lin Tian, ​​”This is a fortified dish specially prepared for you.”
On the plate was a golden salmon dish, exuding an enticing aroma.
“How did you know?” Lin Tian asked in surprise.
Erina smiled and said, “In the Central City, news always spreads quickly.”
She sat down opposite Lin Tian: “This golden enhanced fish can increase your reaction speed by 15% and your strength by 10%, which will last for 24 hours.”
Lin Tian took a bite and immediately felt a warm current flowing from his throat to his whole body. His body seemed to become lighter and stronger.
[Get cooking BUFF: Gold Enhancement][Effect: Reaction speed +15%, strength +10%, lasts 24 hours][Erina Nakiri’s family degree: 47/100 → 50/100]“It’s so delicious!” Lin Tian praised sincerely, “Your cooking skills have improved again.”
Erina smiled proudly: “This is my latest formula, and you are the first person to try it.”
She asked with a hint of curiosity, “What is the Chunin Exam like? Why did you suddenly decide to take part?”
“It is mainly divided into three stages: written test, forest survival and individual battle.” Lin Tian explained, “Tsunade asked me to participate as a special observer, probably to test my strength.”
Erina thought thoughtfully: “Be careful, the world of ninja is very dangerous.”
Lin Tian smiled confidently: “Don’t worry, my bone armor is very powerful now.”
Erina suddenly lowered her voice: “There is news that Orochimaru is planning an attack, the target is Konoha Village.”
Lin Tian’s eyes lit up. This was exactly the plot in the original novel! Orochimaru and the Sand Village attacked Konoha, which eventually led to the death of the Third Hokage.
“Where did you hear that?”
“Chefs always hear all kinds of secrets.” Erina smiled mysteriously, “People tend to let their guard down when they are enjoying delicious food.”
She pulled out a small bottle from her pocket. “This is a quick-healing essence. Apply it to the wound when you are injured. It will speed up the healing process. Take it with you, just in case.”
Lin Tian took the small bottle gratefully: “Thank you, you are so considerate.”
Erina blinked and said, “After all, you are my important guest.”
After the meal, Lin Tian left the Wanjie Canteen and returned to his residence to begin the final preparations.
He opened the system panel and checked the current status:
[Lin Tian’s strength: B level (24%)][Abilities acquired: Bone armor control, spirit bone armor, healing light, basic Byakugan vision, eye of insight, regenerative bone armor, omniscient vision, psychic omniscience, introduction to full-concentration breathing method][Family Candidates: Tsunade (52/100), Erina Nakiri (50/100), Rukia Kuchiki (30/100), Shinobu Kocho (15/100)]“It’s only 2 points away from upgrading to LV.3. The Chunin Exam will definitely provide this progress.” Lin Tian was full of confidence.
In order to be fully prepared, he spent two full days strengthening his abilities and conducted intensive training with Hinata.
Finally, the day of the Chunin Exams arrived.
Early in the morning, Lin Tian and Tsunade gathered at the city-state teleportation array, preparing to go to Konoha Village.
“Are you ready?” Tsunade asked. She was wearing a formal green kimono today, with her blonde hair tied up high, exuding a majesty that could not be ignored.
Lin Tian nodded: “We can set off at any time.”
The teleportation array was activated, a dazzling light flashed, and the two disappeared from the spot.
When the light faded, Lin Tian found himself standing at the entrance of an unfamiliar village.
The words “Konohagakure Village” were written in large letters on the tall village gate, and the Konoha logo shone brightly in the sun.
“Welcome to the center of the Naruto world – Konohagakure Village.” Tsunade said with a smile.
Passing through the towering gate of Konoha Village, Lin Tian felt extremely excited.
This is a holy place in the hearts of countless Naruto fans, and it is the hometown of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura!
“Follow me.” Tsunade led the way with graceful steps, “Report to the Hokage Building first.”
Lin Tian nodded, secretly activated his omniscience, and observed his surroundings.
The dense flow of chakra came into view, and the whole village seemed like a huge energy network.
“Such a powerful perception ability…” Lin Tian admired his newly acquired skills.
Walking along the main street of Konoha Village, there are shops lined on both sides and ninjas walking around, creating a prosperous scene.
Many people looked in awe when they saw Tsunade and bowed.
“Long time no see, Lady Tsunade!”
“Lady Tsunade has returned to the village!”
“It seems you are very popular here.” Lin Tian said with a smile.
Tsunade snorted, “After all, I am one of Konoha’s three ninjas.”
She glanced at Lin Tian and said, “You will meet the Third Hokage later, so be polite. Although he is old, his strength is unfathomable.”
56: As soon as he entered Konoha, he had evil thoughts about Tsunade’s beauty and the resources of the ninja world (old version)
Lin Tian nodded, but there was no fear in his heart.
With the system and his clan in hand, he is not afraid of any strong person.
So what if he was the Third Hokage? He was just someone he was collecting abilities from.
Soon, the two arrived at the Hokage Building and were led directly into the office of the Third Hokage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting behind a large desk, wearing a Hokage robe and a Hokage hat, with the beard under his hooked nose trembling slightly, giving people the feeling of a wise old man.
“Tsunade, long time no see.” Hiruzen stood up and smiled kindly, “Is this the special observer you mentioned?”
Tsunade nodded: “His name is Lin Tian, ​​he is a rookie in the Central City State, and his strength is close to A-level.”
Hiruzen looked at Lin Tian in surprise: “So young and yet so powerful? Rare, rare.”
He stretched out his calloused hand and shook Lin Tian’s, “Welcome to Konoha Village, Lin Tianjun.”
Lin Tian returned the greeting respectfully: “Thank you, Hokage-sama. It is an honor to watch this Chunin Exam.”
“You’re welcome.” Hiruzen sat back in his chair, “As a special observer, you may enter any area of ​​the examination hall, including the forest trial area.”
He took out a special badge from the drawer: “Wear this, and all examiners will cooperate with your work.”
Lin Tian took the badge, which had the word “特” engraved on it and emitted a faint chakra fluctuation.
“The first round of written tests will begin this afternoon at the Ninja Academy,” Hiruzen said, “I have arranged accommodations for you. Feel free to ask for anything you need.”
“Also,” Hiruzen’s expression turned serious, “We have recently received intelligence that there may be bad elements who want to disrupt the exam. I hope that while you are observing, you can also help maintain order in the exam.”
Lin Tian understood that this was a hint of Orochimaru’s threat.
“I promise to live up to your trust.” Lin Tian said seriously.
After leaving the Hokage Building, Tsunade took Lin Tian to a high-end hotel.
“I have something to take care of. You can familiarize yourself with the environment.” Tsunade said, “Gather at the Ninja Academy at 2 pm.”
Lin Tian nodded, looked at Tsunade’s departing back, and couldn’t help but admire her graceful figure.
Her long golden hair swayed gently with her steps, her slender legs were faintly visible under her kimono, and her plump figure could not be ignored.
“She is powerful and beautiful, a perfect candidate for a clan member.” Lin Tian said to himself.
Alone, Lin Tian decided to use this time to explore the village and look for the main characters in the original novel.
“System, important information about the Chunin Exam.”
【Intelligence update:】
[Round 1: Written test, examiner is Morino Ibiki, with special code questions][Round 2: Death Forest Survival Battle, examiner is Mitarashi Anko][Round 3: Individual matches, possible qualifiers][Focus on: Uchiha Sasuke (Orochimaru’s target), Uzumaki Naruto, Gaara][Potential collection targets: Sharingan ability, tailed beast chakra, sand escape ability]Lin Tian walked on the streets of Konoha Village, with his omniscience fully activated, searching for special chakra fluctuations.
Soon, he stopped in front of a ramen restaurant.
The sign of “Ichiraku Ramen” sparkled in the sun, and a familiar voice came from inside the store:
“Another bowl of char siu ramen, boss!”
Lin Tian’s mouth curled up into a smile. Uzumaki Naruto, the protagonist of Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
He pushed the door open and saw a blond boy wolfing down ramen, with a pink-haired girl and a black-haired boy beside him.
The trio of Team 7 – Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke!
“Welcome!” The hand-typed boss greets warmly.
Lin Tian ordered a bowl of barbecued pork ramen and deliberately sat next to Class 7.
“Hey, Sasuke, do you think the Chunin Exam will be difficult?” Naruto asked loudly.
Sasuke snorted, “It must be hard for you, the last one.”
“What did you say!” Naruto jumped up.
“Naruto! Stop arguing!” Sakura punched Naruto on the head, then turned to Sasuke with a sweet smile, “Sasuke-kun is right!”
Lin Tian secretly laughed. The way these three people got along was exactly the same as in the original book.
His omniscience scanned Sasuke carefully and he discovered that there was something special about the chakra flow in his body, and he could vaguely see the energy of the Sharingan.
“System, analyze Uchiha Sasuke’s Sharingan.”
[Analysis in progress…Sharingan: Two magatama states, can copy taijutsu and ninjutsu, has basic insight ability][Collection Difficulty: B Level][Collection method: direct contact or defeat in battle]Lin Tian pondered for a moment and decided not to alert the enemy. There would be a better chance to get close to Sasuke during the Chunin Exam.
While I was eating ramen, there was a sudden commotion outside the store.
“It’s a ninja from the Sand Village!”
“What a terrible aura!”
Lin Tian put down his chopsticks, walked out of the store, and saw three figures walking on the street.
A red-haired boy walked in front, carrying a gourd on his back. He had dark circles around his eyes and exuded a suffocating murderous aura.
Behind him was a blonde girl with four ponytails, holding a huge iron fan; and a young man dressed in black with purple lines painted on his face, carrying a tightly wrapped object on his back.
The three siblings of Sunagakure – Gaara, Temari and Kankuro!
Lin Tian’s omniscient spiritual vision immediately locked onto Gaara and discovered that he contained extremely terrifying chakra in his body, which was obviously the power of the tailed beast!
“The power of Shukaku…” Lin Tian’s heart moved.
[One-tail Shukaku energy detected, can be collected][Collection Difficulty: Grade A][Warning: The target is extremely dangerous, please approach with caution]
