What else could Ronin say? He would just watch Ging work.
Even if Ging ultimately failed to get what he wanted, Ronin figured Ging would not feel disappointed at all, because what he had always enjoyed was the process itself.
The team advanced quickly. In just one day, they covered several hundred kilometers and plunged straight into the mountains.
Although Ronin could still sense people following them from behind, he no longer used Rain Tiger at Will to detect them. Instead, he occasionally took out a crystal ball to lock onto them.
This was a new use of Rain Tiger at Will combined with the Telescope Technique.
Rain Tiger at Will covered a wider range, but as long as Ronin sensed someone through ninjutsu, their aura would be recorded by him. After that, as long as they came within seven or eight kilometers of him, he could directly observe them through the crystal ball using the Telescope Technique.
That range was already quite far. It was also one of the benefits brought by Ronin's increased strength.
The power of his ninjutsu had risen along with him, becoming even stronger.
A petite white-haired girl paired with a huge, beast-like man really did create a strange contrast.
However, both of them were quite strong. Even while Ronin's group was moving at such high speed, the two of them could still keep up relentlessly. From what Ronin saw through the Telescope Technique, the two even seemed rather composed, which further proved that they were not weak.
After traveling several hundred kilometers, the dangers they encountered were not as numerous as expected. Even when wild beasts appeared occasionally, to Ronin's group, they were nothing more than food to fill the gap in their supplies.
Even some magical beasts could not really interest Ronin much.
The Sharingan's insight was simply too powerful. It allowed Ronin to easily detect dangers along the way, while his powerful taijutsu, combined with the ninjutsu used by his shadow clones, made them unstoppable throughout the journey.
However, considering how enormous the imaginary continent was, and the fact that they could not possibly move at maximum speed every single day, estimating one month to reach the other side of the continent was actually a fairly conservative calculation.
Odo and Veronica's expressions grew uglier and uglier.
Because along the way, they saw the corpses of many magical beasts and monsters that would have posed an enormous threat to them.
"What kind of monsters broke into this continent?" Veronica had sobered up by now.
Her relationship with Regson was not deep enough for her to risk her life avenging him. The reason she was still following Ronin's group was because she wanted to see whether the other side could truly cross this continent with such ridiculous speed and ease.
"Yeah." Odo was equally shocked. "We shouldn't keep following them."
"Although most of the dangerous creatures have been cleared out by them, we'll still be in great danger if this continues. After all, the truly terrifying ones still haven't appeared."
Roar!
Just as the two were discussing this, a furious roar came from the distance.
The two looked at each other and saw the shock in one another's eyes, because that roar might have come from the very terrifying creature they had just mentioned.
The next second, both of them accelerated at the same time.
They wanted to see whether that terrifying existence could also be easily killed by the other side.
At this moment, Ronin felt incredibly exhilarated. He could not help letting out an excited shout.
Not far in front of him was a massive creature roaring just as wildly. It looked like a black gorilla, and its height exceeded eight meters.
Its face, covered by a stone mask, had the fierce appearance of a savage demon. Its body was draped in armor crudely pieced together from beast bones. Violent Nen spread from its body, and when it roared, sound waves blasted outward into the surrounding area.
No doubt about it. This was an Enhancer-type magical beast!
Ronin had already opened the Eight Gates up to the fourth gate, the Gate of Pain.
But even so, during his clash with the creature, he still had not been able to suppress it. In fact, he had been blasted backward by one of its sudden, explosive punches.
That made him form a hand seal in front of his chest.
As the word "Open" left his mouth, the fifth gate, the Gate of Limit, opened as well.
With the opening of the fifth gate, the chakra around Ronin's body turned yellow and wrapped around him like boiling flames.
From a distance, if Ronin's hair could also stand upright, he would look like he was directly cosplaying a Super Saiyan.
After all, as a member of the Kurta Clan, his hair was also pale yellow.
The magical-beast gorilla opposite him had no idea what had happened before Ronin vanished from where he stood.
The gorilla's eyes widened.
On this continent, there was actually a tiny human who dared to challenge it?
He must be tired of living!
Purple-black lightning suddenly gathered inside its wide-open mouth. The next second, the black gorilla's fur spread outward like an explosion, and its entire towering body became wrapped in purple-black lightning.
As it threw a fierce punch, purple-black lightning surged rapidly and erupted directly from its fist.
Boom!
Ronin's figure appeared halfway through his charge, perfectly within the path of the thunder rushing forward.
He had thought the creature was an Enhancer, but now it seemed the other side was also an expert who trained in a "mountain-shaped" pattern, having studied both Emission and Transmutation as well. And it had reached a rather advanced level in both.
Being able to reach this point already surpassed the vast majority of ability users!
Ronin made that judgment, but his body did not dodge. Instead, he threw a punch directly at the incoming lightning.
Amid the roar, the lightning scattered. Ronin's fist, wrapped in chakra, remained completely unharmed.
Then Ronin raised his hand in front of him and roared again.
"Open!"
The already-boiling chakra around his body became even more violent, and its color deepened by a shade.
The sixth gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of View—
Open!
Ronin's speed increased again. This time, he did not even give the gorilla a chance to react before appearing directly in front of it.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that Ronin's current state was now clearly different from when he had opened the fifth gate.
His skin had begun to redden, but his power had also increased tremendously with the opening of the sixth gate.
The purple-black lightning around the gorilla was forced backward by the pressure of Ronin's aura. Ronin's fist, carrying surging chakra, had already slammed toward the gorilla's body.
When the Eight Gates reached the sixth gate, Ronin finally gained access to a new taijutsu technique.
Countless fists rained down toward the gorilla like a storm. Every punch that struck its body left blazing flames behind. By the time Ronin finished his entire barrage, the enormous gorilla was already engulfed in fire.
This flame-blooming attack was the ultimate technique of the Gate of View—
Morning Peacock!
Boom!
The burning gorilla smashed straight into the ground.
Ronin landed as well. He was panting heavily, sweat beading on his forehead, and his arms even trembled slightly.
But his eyes were bright and full of life as he stared excitedly at the huge crater the gorilla had created in the ground, and at the magical-beast gorilla lying inside it in the same classic pose as Yamcha.
At this point, it seemed the creature could no longer get back up.
