Chapter 105: With the Syringe in Hand, the World Is Mine
"Drip… drip…"
Bright red blood slowly slid down the edge of the Kusanagi Sword. Kakuzu stared with eyes wide in disbelief. "Why?"
He couldn't understand it. From the very beginning of the fight, Li Jiexuan had seemed to know everything about him. The entire battle—rather than a fight—felt more like Li Jiexuan's personal performance.
Everything appeared to have unfolded exactly according to Li Jiexuan's plan!
"Because you're too weak!" Li Jiexuan said with a grin, ruthlessly shoving Kakuzu's still-warm corpse to the ground. Even in death, Kakuzu's eyes remained wide open—filled with unwillingness…
Li Jiexuan curled his lip in disdain. This was the Naruto world—dead men couldn't keep secrets. Naturally, he had no intention of revealing his greatest secret.
Just die in peace…
Escape from Death and Annihilate the Immortal task completed.
Reward: 55,000 points, one Kage-tier treasure chest.
Title obtained: Immortal Annihilator (Beginner).
Bandit Extermination task completed.
Reward: 600 points, one Beginner-tier chest and one Intermediate-tier chest.
Title: Guardian of Justice (Beginner).
What generous rewards!
But… this bandit extermination task—he clearly hadn't taken action himself, so why was it counted?
"If a follower completes a task, it is likewise counted toward the host," the system explained helpfully. "Likewise, followers can also trigger tasks."
Hearing this, Li Jiexuan's eyes lit up. If he could develop a large number of followers and send them out to complete tasks…
Even small tasks worth only one or two hundred points—once accumulated—would make owning a Gundam no longer a dream. Of course, gaining followers was far easier said than done…
Putting that thought aside for now, Li Jiexuan eagerly began examining this round of rewards. In total, he had gained sixty thousand points and three treasure chests: one Beginner-tier, one Intermediate-tier, and one Kage-tier.
Opening the Beginner-tier chest—no surprises—one bottle of stamina potion. The Intermediate-tier chest, however, gave Li Jiexuan a small but pleasant surprise.
"Demonic Ice Mirrors Scroll."
An A-rank inheritance scroll. Its effect was similar to the Lightning Blade scroll, except its rank had been raised to A.
Honestly, this scroll had come at exactly the right time. Although Li Jiexuan's current strength was formidable, most of it relied on the physical boosts from Dragon Sage Mode and the Eight Gates…
Aside from Lightning Blade, he had no other high-level ninjutsu to coordinate with. Against fodder enemies, this flaw wasn't obvious.
But in this battle against Kakuzu, the problem had already been exposed.
If not for his intelligence advantage, facing Kakuzu's complex and ever-changing combination of techniques, Li Jiexuan—armed with only Lightning Blade—would have easily fallen into a passive position.
So this Demonic Ice Mirrors Scroll really had arrived at the perfect moment. The problem was…
"Demonic Ice Mirrors Scroll—requires Ice Release Kekkei Genkai to use." The system's prompt made Li Jiexuan hesitate.
Ice Release wasn't considered particularly high-end in the Naruto world, but its price in the shop was anything but cheap…
To be precise, even the cheapest Kekkei Genkai in the entire shop cost thirty thousand points—and Ice Release cost a full fifty thousand!
"So damn blackhearted…"
After mulling it over, Li Jiexuan finally gritted his teeth and added Ice Release to the cart. A man had to be ruthless to himself!
Once the purchase was complete, the sixty thousand points he'd just earned were almost entirely spent in one go…
The system might be ruthless, but its effects were equally powerful. The moment payment was completed, a chill seeped out from Li Jiexuan's limbs and bones.
Before he even realized it, Li Jiexuan had already mastered the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai. With a casual wave of his hand, he could unleash bone-piercing frost and snow…
In a sense, this Ice Release Kekkei Genkai was somewhat similar to Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit in One Piece.
But that fruit cost a staggering one million points. Just one glance was enough for Li Jiexuan to decisively give up…
So poor~~
"System, is there really no way to upgrade a Kekkei Genkai?" Li Jiexuan complained casually. This kind of resentment—being forced to buy low-end goods because you're broke—who could possibly understand it?
"There is!"
Li Jiexuan had only been venting, yet the system actually provided a solution.
Bloodline Extraction Syringe: Can perfectly extract bloodlines.
Price: 10,000 points!
Seeing this, Li Jiexuan placed the order almost without hesitation. Soon, a syringe as thick as an arm appeared in his hand.
Character: Li Jiexuan.
Title: Immortal Annihilator.
Bloodline Extraction Syringe: Remaining uses (5/5).
"Only five uses!?" Li Jiexuan's eyes went wide as he roared in dissatisfaction. "This is outright consumer fraud!"
But thinking about it again, that made sense. At such a low price of only ten thousand points, unlimited use would have been absurd. Even if it could only be used once, it would already be a massive profit!
Gripping the syringe, Li Jiexuan felt a surge of boundless confidence.
So what if my Kekkei Genkai is low-tier? So what if I can't afford high-end goods?
With the syringe in hand—
the world is mine!
