A violent explosion shockwave swept over, with a visible air current carrying gravel and mud spreading out in a hemisphere, completely stripping away everything in its path, whether trees or grass.
A mushroom cloud rose into the sky, reaching a height of a thousand meters, and the sound waves shattered most of the trees and animals. Even a thousand miles away, the ground trembling could be felt.
The area within a five-hundred-meter radius was completely bare, and closer to the center of the explosion, the ground undulated in waves, leading to a two-hundred-meter-wide crater at the very center.
"Sage Art is truly different. Although it was also because I specifically increased the amount of Chakra for this move, I didn't expect Enka to be directly obliterated."
Ling felt the feedback from Ten Types of Shadow Techniques. Enka's subjugation was complete, which meant that Ling's healing ability would almost reach the level of Six Paths Yang Release in the future.
Regrowing eyeballs, reattaching severed limbs, and even reshaping a body were all possible. Now, participating in the Great Shinobi War would be much safer.
With Enka's subjugation complete, only Tiger Burial and Mahoraga remained. Mahoraga was too uncertain; Ling would wait until he was stronger. As for Tiger Burial, he could try it now.
Although Tiger Burial's information was not shown in the original work, the introduction of Ten Shadows Technique still revealed that Tiger Burial was a supportive Shikigami that added shields, but its own close-quarters combat ability was still very strong.
Not long after subjugating Enka, Ling's Curse Power began to surge, quickly seemingly breaking through an energy level. Now, Ling's Curse Power should be comparable to a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer.
Then, the Curse Power's feedback had not yet ended. With the surge of Curse Power, Ling's Sharingan seemed to begin evolving, his Doujutsu began to surge, and soon a third tomoe differentiated in his eyes.
"Three-Tomoe Sharingan! I didn't expect to catch up to Shisui so quickly. Hard work truly pays off." Ling felt as if his current achievements were entirely due to his own efforts.
The evolution of the Sharingan, coupled with the surge in Doujutsu, made Ling's mental power stronger. Super-energy cavities in his brain cells synthesized more super-energy substance groups for storing mental energy.
And Ling's Chakra volume also began to increase slightly. The increase was not much, approximately the amount of Chakra consumed by one or two S-rank Ninjutsu.
However, because he had used three S-rank Ninjutsu, Ling's Chakra volume had decreased by about 20%, so this increase did restore some of his Chakra volume.
However, his dynamic vision became even more powerful. The enhancement of his Doujutsu also made Ling's use of Dream Butterfly, Cicada, and Nine Styles of Illusionary Sword Arts even more formidable.
In the future, encountering a Jonin would no longer be limited to controlling them for a short time like before. So, if a Jonin encountered Ling using Illusionary Sword Arts in the future, they would likely be instantly killed.
It was a pity that the positive Curse Power after Reversal Technique could not promote the mutation of his physique. Perhaps it was because he had not activated the degraded version of Sage Body, the Senju Body.
It was also possible that positive Curse Power could not be stored and could only be synthesized as much as needed. Other than for casting Reversal Technique and Reversal Technique, it had no other great use.
"Keep up the good work. Next, I'll subjugate Tiger Burial. Tiger Burial doesn't have strong combat power or recovery, only super strong defense and a shield that reduces attack intensity, so it needs a Ninjutsu that is extremely effective for individual damage."
This time, Ling planned to use the Sage Art version of Wind Release: Spiraling Compression Storm Rifle. This thing was designed from the beginning for siege warfare.
Ling had the Shadow Clone that had previously assisted in extracting Sage Art Chakra disperse. A portion of Chakra and Sage Art Chakra returned to his main body, and Ling almost lost control of the Sage Art Chakra.
Fortunately, the enhancement of his mental power allowed Ling to control Sage Art Chakra more easily. Without hesitation, Ling directly began to condense Sage Art: Wind Release: Spiraling Compression Storm Rifle.
He first kneaded a Rasengan, then controlled it to transform into a conical shape, and then infused it with Sage Art Wind Release Chakra. Soon, Ling's right arm was attached with a wildly spinning spiral drill.
The drill body was only about three meters long, but it appeared quite slender, and the diameter of its base was only about thirty centimeters.
This was Ling's first time testing the power of Sage Art: Wind Release: Spiraling Compression Storm Rifle. He believed it would definitely bring a surprise to Tiger Burial.
This technique itself was an S-rank Ninjutsu, and with the "I think so" level of Wind Release nature transformation and the amplification of Sage Art Chakra, coupled with Ling's use of Technique of Ten Divisions, he believed it would surely be a devastating one-shot kill.
The subjugation ritual for Tiger Burial began. A giant black-and-white striped tiger emerged from the shadows. Its body seemed to have a visible energy shield, making it look quite imposing.
Ling did not give Tiger Burial a chance to attack first. With a Swift Wind Technique, he appeared in front of Tiger Burial at a speed like using Flying Thunder God.
Ling's eyes shone with a cold light. He stomped hard on the ground, and his monstrous strength exploded. Ling instantly leaped up, and the Sage Art: Wind Release: Spiraling Compression Storm Rifle on his right hand directly stabbed towards Tiger Burial's lower jaw.
In front of Ling, Technique of Ten Divisions triggered. With the dynamic vision of his Sharingan, Ling accurately hit the weak dividing line on the shield.
Like a needle pricking a balloon, the seemingly indestructible shield shattered almost instantly. Then, the Sage Art in Ling's hand pierced through the lower jaw, directly penetrating Tiger Burial's entire brain.
Afterward, the Sage Art lost control. Ling instantly used Flying Thunder God to appear several hundred meters away, and the Sage Art: Wind Release: Spiraling Compression Storm Rifle, no longer controlled by Ling, directly exploded within Tiger Burial's skull.
Watching Tiger Burial, whose half-body was instantly blown away, Ling felt that he had underestimated the group damage potential of this seemingly single-target Sage Art.
With its head gone, Tiger Burial was naturally as dead as could be. The remaining body directly turned into shadows and disappeared. Tiger Burial was successfully subjugated.
His Curse Power increased again due to Tiger Burial's subjugation, but it did not cause a qualitative change. The gap between a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer and a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer was not so easy to break through.
However, Ling could be considered a veteran Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer now. Even if Ling went to the Shibuya Incident at this point, he could just be a spectator.
"I feel like I should be able to subjugate Mahoraga now. Mahoraga's recovery should be similar to Enka's, right? Its defense should not be as good as Tiger Burial's. I should only need one blow to obliterate it to kill it, right?"
Ling felt that a blank slate Mahoraga encountering his unchivalrous sneak attack might also be killed in one blow, but Ling still decided to play it safe.
Don't ask why, just ask about caution. As a Transmigrator, he couldn't leave his life to luck. Ling still felt he should accumulate for a while longer before testing the waters.
The Wind Release: Rasengan Compression Shuriken he could cast with his current Chakra volume was not strong enough. This technique was not something Ling could infuse with as much Chakra as he wanted.
The Chakra used to cast Wind Release: Rasengan Compression Shuriken must not exceed 30% of the remaining Chakra in his body, otherwise, it would be difficult to control these two Ninjutsu. (Fan-made setting)
