C97 His Strength Had Increased Sharply!

If the chakra contained within an intermediate Immortal Body could be likened to a small stream, then the chakra within an advanced Immortal Body would be comparable to a mighty river.

The enhancement of chakra would be at least tenfold.

And with it, Strange Strength would surge in power as well.

But the most significant transformation that comes with the advanced Immortal Body is the physical form itself.

Yang Ming's Immortal Body, a gift from the system, is not hereditary. It surpasses even the likes of Senju Hashirama and Rikudō Sennin in perfection.

At this moment, Yang Ming could feel a substantial increase in his body's strength. His skin seemed to have a mercurial sheen, and without even tapping into Strange Strength or chakra, he could withstand the blow of ordinary blades.

Only a legendary divine weapon like the Grass Pheasant Sword could challenge him; his sheer physical might was enough to sweep aside all foes and clash with C-class ninja techniques.

Techniques like Flame Escape: Great Fireball or Wind Escape: Massive Breakthrough could be countered head-on.

He had reached the formidable Shadow Level.

And he was far more formidable than the average Shadow Level master!

Yet, this was just the beginning—his physical prowess and Strange Strength were only part of his arsenal. He also had mastery over Wood Escape!

Yang Ming had completed his mission and acquired three new Wood Escape Ninja Techniques: Wood Escape: Four-pillar House Technique, Wood Escape: Tree Binding Eternal Burial, and Wood Escape: Great Forest Technique!

One for construction, another to counter Earth Escape techniques, and a third for powerful offensive maneuvers.

These three ninja techniques were incredibly potent.

Together with the previously acquired Wood Barrier, Four-pillar Prison, and Thread Technique, Yang Ming now wielded six formidable Wood Escape Ninja Techniques.

With the ability to both attack and defend, he was a force to be reckoned with, capable of challenging any Shadow Level adversary.

His formidable Immortal Body and chakra enabled him to unleash Wood Escape Ninja Techniques that rivaled Senju Hashirama's prowess!

As for Illusion Techniques, they were negligible unless he faced the Mangekiyou Sharingan.

"Fantastic! The power I wield now makes me virtually unbeatable in a one-on-one fight. Even the Sacrifice Force is no match for me. Aside from the Tsuchikage's Dust Escape and the few with the Mangekiyou Sharingan, there's nothing I need to fear."

Basking in the sensation of his newfound strength, Yang Ming couldn't help but express his delight.

Two months into my life in the Ninja World, I've finally gained the power to defend myself!

I can now hold my ground when facing formidable opponents.

"At last, I can ease up on the tension and take a breather. With the year drawing to a close, I can start tackling some personal projects I've been thinking about," Yang Ming murmured to himself.

Reborn into the Naruto World, arriving in the Grass Country, I've been non-stop busy ever since.

But with sufficient strength at my disposal, it's time to pause and savor life a bit.

Especially with the year-end approaching, I'm set on having a truly enjoyable New Year's celebration.

"My fourth system task is to venture into the Death Forest of the Fire Country to gather Wailing Grass, Death Flower, and Bloodthirsty Furthorn. The rewards are enticing: a perfect Immortal Body, unparalleled Strange Strength, two A-level Wood Escape Ninja Techniques—Tree Realm Wall and Wood Escape: Thorn Kill—and an S-level expansive Wood Escape Secret Technique: Tree Realm Coming!"

"Wood Escape: Tree Realm Wall is an enhanced version of the Wood Barrier, while Thorn Kill is a wide-ranging binding technique. Tree Realm Coming is an expansive S-level technique that grows in power with my Chakra."

Armed with these, I'll be fearless even against overwhelming numbers, and ordinary Bijuu won't even warrant a second glance.

Yang Ming felt a surge of excitement. These were the very abilities he coveted, yet there was no need to rush. The journey to the Fire Country could wait until next year.

Besides, the Death Forest is off-limits, and gaining entry, even once in the Fire Country, is far from simple.
