Chapter 257: The Bottleneck of a New Ninjutsu
"Cluck, cluck, cluck~"
The rooster crowed, and morning arrived. Li Jiexuan sat cross-legged on the bed, faint arcs of lightning flickering at his fingertips as he attempted to control the electricity with greater precision, trying to form it into a closed ring.
"Crackle!"
But lightning was, after all, one of the most violent forces in nature. After flickering for a few moments, it broke apart again into several streams of current, blasting apart the furniture in the room.
"Sure enough, creating a ninjutsu from scratch isn't that simple!" Li Jiexuan shook his head helplessly. It had already been three full days since he arrived in the Land of wilds…
During these three days, he had been researching a new type of ninjutsu: Electromagnetism!
Electricity generates magnetism, magnetism generates electricity!
Logically speaking, the two should always be inseparable. Yet strangely, among all the users of Lightning Release in the Naruto world, not a single one had ever displayed any ninjutsu related to magnetism!
Could it be that magnetism didn't exist in this world?
Impossible!
Wasn't the Third Kazekage's Kekkei Genkai precisely Magnet Release?
"Looks like I'll have to keep experimenting." Li Jiexuan frowned, clenching his fist as he tried to condense lightning again. But just at that moment
"Master!"
Yeshenke's excited voice echoed through the daimyo residence of the Land of wilds. As he shouted, he impatiently pounded on the door with loud bangs.
"Come in!"
As soon as the door opened, Yeshenke darted in like a monkey and rushed up to Li Jiexuan, saying excitedly, "Master, I can already push the curse mark up to my thighs! It won't be long before I can defeat ninja!"
Seeing this, Li Jiexuan narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded with a smile. "Your progress is good. Keep it up…"
Encouraged by the praise, Yeshenke scratched his head happily. "But Master, something feels strange. The more I activate the curse mark, the more excited I get. It's like my body isn't under my control!"
"Sometimes I don't even know what happened!" A hint of unease crept into Yeshenke's voice…
"Don't be afraid. That's a normal effect of curse mark techniques. The stronger the reaction, the closer you are to mastering it!"
People only believe what they want to believe. No matter how Li Jiexuan spun it, Yeshenke accepted it without question…
"Alright. For the next period of time, don't disturb me." At this point, Li Jiexuan narrowed his eyes and sneered. "Also, keep a close watch on Noshimura. Don't let him do anything foolish!"
"Yes!"
Yeshenke nodded without hesitation and respectfully withdrew from the room.
For someone already trapped by the lure of power, let alone monitoring Noshimura even killing him would likely not cause much hesitation…
After sending Yeshenke away, Li Jiexuan continued his training in electromagnetic force. But after hundreds of attempts, there was still no progress. Electricity remained electricity there was no sign of magnetism appearing.
"Damn it, what exactly is going on with this electromagnetic force?" Li Jiexuan waved his hand irritably. Terrifying lightning flashed, letting out a sharp, bird-like screech.
"Ding. Suggestion: Host should remain calm. Electromagnetic force is a phenomenon proven after Ampere's experiments."
Hearing the system's words, Li Jiexuan couldn't help but laugh. Even now, he still remembered that cursed right-hand rule back during exams, he had nearly twisted his wrist trying to figure out the direction of current…
After laughing, he gradually calmed down.
No matter what it was, once you hit a bottleneck, the more impatient you became, the harder it was to succeed. Sometimes, relaxing was the right choice!
As for how to relax…
As the saying goes: opening one loot box feels great opening many feels even better!
"System, how many boxes are stored in my space?" Li Jiexuan rubbed his hands eagerly. "Today, I'm opening them all!"
