Chakra is a product created through the special refinement of spiritual energy and physical energy.
Humans in the Ninja World have over 130 trillion cells, two to three times that of their previous incarnations.
Everyone possesses spiritual energy and physical energy, but not every child can refine chakra at the age of five.
For commoner children, without refining techniques, strict parental guidance, or corresponding cultivation resources, they mostly meet the requirements for refining chakra after two to three years of training from ninja school teachers.
The first two to three years are mainly dedicated to learning basic ninja knowledge and insights, including shuriken throwing, kunai fighting, rope escape techniques, trap identification and creation, and so on.
Clan children, however, have outstanding cultivation conditions. Many have established a solid foundation before entering ninja school, but refining chakra usually occurs around the age of six to seven.
One year ago.
The cheat code was activated, the principle unknown.
It is speculated to be related to refining chakra.
After exploring for a while, Hyuga Shichiya roughly figured out its abilities.
【Deduction System】.
The name is simple and unadorned.
There are two abilities: 【Deduction】 and 【Breakthrough】.
【Breakthrough】 is easy to understand. It's about traveling to other worlds, but it requires a ten-year wait. Shichiya doesn't know the reason, maybe it's an energy issue??
As for 【Deduction】, it allows Shichiya to use energy points to deduce and optimize relevant skills based on his existing knowledge.
Designing a direction for deduction and optimization will display a progress bar. The more relevant knowledge you possess, the fewer energy points you need to consume.
For example, deducing "Eight Trigrams Palm, Sixty-Four Palms" from "Eight Trigrams Palm, Two Palms" requires many energy points; but if you know some of the content of the middle sixteen palms or thirty-two palms, the required energy points will be significantly reduced when deducing.
The source of energy points is unknown. It's unclear whether it requires chakra specifically or if other forms of energy can be used!
After the cheat code activated, Hyuga Shichiya was filled with excitement, eager to immediately tinker with some incredible skills. However, the blank energy points instantly extinguished his impulsive heart.
At the same time, it calmed his impulsive heart.
The cheat code took five years to activate, leaving his brain momentarily stunned.
"Whew~ Whew~~!"
Hyuga Shichiya forced himself to look away. After several deep breaths, his mind gradually cleared.
He knew he needed to calm down now, not be impulsive.
Now that the cheat code is activated, there's no need to rush.
Haste makes waste, and mistakes are more likely when busy.
In the face of important matters, worries and dangers often interweave. The more so, the more we must rely on a calm mind.
At this time, the wisdom of his ancestors came to mind.
"Only in stillness can one find peace, only in peace can one think, only in thought can one achieve!"
This is a famous quote from "The Great Learning."
After remembering it, Hyuga Shichiya's restless heart felt as if infused with a spring, cool and refreshing.
Thinking alone wasn't enough. Hyuga Shichiya used his finger as a pen and kept writing these words on the small wooden table.
He didn't know how long he wrote for, but he regained his composure.
Looking outside, the sun had already dipped towards the west.
"Let's eat first!"
………………
After dinner.
Hyuga Shichiya sat in the small courtyard, looking up at the starry night.
Now completely calm, he pondered how to effectively use the cheat code to strengthen himself.
He's still young, a time for building a foundation. Various seemingly powerful ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu are useless when learned at this stage, like a colt pulling a heavy cart, unable to exert their full potential.
Without a strong physique, even the 【Eight Inner Gates Formation】 is useless.
Moreover, born into the Hyuga clan, even though he's a branch family member, the resources and opportunities he enjoys surpass many others. He can learn Hyuga's Gentle Fist taijutsu from his uncle, and even has access to many conventional ninjutsu. As long as he reaches the appropriate age, he doesn't need to consult the so-called guidance teachers and can ask his uncle for advice.
This is the so-called "an old man in the family is a treasure." His uncle has lived since the Warring States period!
So, what he needs now are secret techniques that suit his current age, ones that can enhance the power of Hyuga's Gentle Fist...
Gentle Fist? Taijutsu?
Taijutsu?!
Ding!~~
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.
No matter how cunning or fierce, strength is the foundation.
No matter how skilled, without a strong physique, it's useless.
Recalling the Hyuga clan's performance in the later stages of the original story, it can be described as lackluster.
And in the Ninja World, it seems there are no secret techniques specifically for cultivating the physique...?
Or perhaps, it's just superficial physical training, only involving muscles. Bones and internal organs are not deeply involved, resulting in high attack but low defense.
Mighty Might Guy, almost kicked his way to a grand finale, but his bones couldn't withstand the full release of the 【Eight Inner Gates Formation】.
It makes sense. In this world, filled with constant slaughter and hatred, the average lifespan of ninjas doesn't exceed thirty years. Everyone pursues powerful and explosive ninjutsu to inflict the maximum damage...
Naturally, they neglect certain things, like: techniques for strengthening the body.
Hyuga Shichiya had a direction in mind.
When it comes to the art of killing, how can a simple martial arts assistant teacher compare to the killing machines of the Ninja World?!
But he also has his advantages.
His greatest knowledge and experience currently comes from browsing countless martial arts manuals and combat science analyses in his previous life. Although he couldn't distinguish between authenticity and fraud with his own knowledge, now he has this 【Deduction System】!~~
Suddenly, various ideas and inspirations surged forth.
He needed to combine the 桩功 (zhuang gong) from martial arts, stretching and strengthening bones and tendons, and strengthening the skin and bone membranes; he also needed to consider the relationship between breathing and the flow of blood and qi, accelerating the digestive absorption capacity of the body's organs; of course, he couldn't neglect the mental aspect, various meditation techniques, visualization techniques, esoteric 大摊尸法 (da tan shi fa), and so on and so forth.
Everything Hyuga Shichiya could think of at this moment was poured into the system, and then he input the chakra he had just refined.
The progress bar surged forward, about one-tenth.
Hyuga Shichiya was overjoyed.
Based on this, he could complete the deduction of this secret technique in about ten days.
Of course, some doubts also arose.
"Is the chakra required so little?"
"Or is the amount of knowledge I provided already very complete?!"
The answer is unknown.
This 【Deduction System】 doesn't have an intelligent assistant or anything like that.
Though it seems rigid, Hyuga Shichiya felt relieved. He didn't like, or even disliked, having strange voices in his head.
It didn't take ten days. It only took nine days to complete the deduction of this secret technique.
Swish~!
In an instant, various knowledge and experiences flooded Hyuga Shichiya's consciousness.
A moment later,
Hyuga Shichiya tried hard to suppress his laughter.
"Hahaha………Success!"
"I need to give it a name. Let me think... I'll call it… 【Zhou Tian Breathing Technique】!"
He couldn't wait to strike a pose according to the secret technique, his head straight, shoulders relaxed, waist steady, knees bent, spine straight.
The body's blood and qi began to flow rapidly, in sync with the movements and rhythmic breathing, warming the muscles and internal organs.
"Gurgling..."
A faint rumbling sound came from his stomach, indicating that the digestion of food had accelerated.
After half an hour.
He had run the 【Zhou Tian Breathing Technique】 countless times until he felt the food in his stomach had been digested, his body warm and full of heat.
"Normally it takes two to three hours to digest, but now it's only half an hour, a significant effect!~"
"It just means I might become a big eater later..."
"But being able to eat and digest well means the nutrients are actually going into my body..."
Then.
Hyuga Shichiya lay in bed.
He wanted to test the effects of the "Mental Chapter" within it.
