Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 371 Wukong's Eight Gates!

A gentle breeze swept across the training field, carrying away the heat.

It took Rock Lee several minutes to finally explain the meaning of acupoints to Wukong.

He picked up the water glass beside him, took a big gulp, and then continued, "So these eight acupoints are the key to cultivating the Eight Gates Formation. You need to find their locations and then learn how to break their restraints and release the power inside."

Wukong nodded thoughtfully: "I understand. So, where exactly are they located on our bodies?"

Without hesitation, Rock Lee took out a folded blueprint from his pocket and unfolded it in front of the two of them.

The diagram above clearly shows the distribution of a person's meridians and acupoints.

"Wukong, look, the first two gates, the Open Gate and the Rest Gate, are located at our head, right here."

Lee Locke pulled out a ruler from somewhere and, while explaining, lightly tapped the locations of acupoints on the diagram with the ruler.

He spoke slowly and deliberately, the ruler constantly moving across the drawing, and Wukong's gaze followed the ruler's movements.

Before long, with Rock Lee's explanation, Goku figured out the location of the eight acupoints.

"Oh, so they're in these places. Let me look for them."

Having understood this, Wukong immediately closed his eyes without saying a word, trying to find the specific locations of these acupoints in his body.

Rock Lee wanted to say something more, but seeing him close his eyes, he closed his mouth again and waited patiently.

Half a minute later, Wukong opened his eyes and scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Um, how do I find them?"

He originally thought that with Lee Rock's guidance, he would be able to successfully find the acupoints.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he closed his eyes and focused on exploring, he felt dizzy and disoriented, unable to distinguish east from west, north from south, let alone find the acupoints within his body.

"Haha, I knew you wouldn't find it."

Rock Lee smiled knowingly.

Although he told Wukong the locations of the acupoints, he hadn't told Wukong how to find them, so he was certain Wukong wouldn't succeed.

Knowing the location of acupoints is one thing, but finding them is another.

He told Wukong the location of the acupoints only to give Wukong some understanding of the eight major acupoints and their general range. However, to truly feel the location of the acupoints, another method was needed.

"Wukong, to find the exact location of the acupoints, you need to sense the flow of chakra. The chakra in our body flows along the meridians, and these eight acupoints are all located on the meridians. Moreover, you can feel that they contain a powerful force that is different from other acupoints."

"So all you need to do is let your mind follow the chakra, and once you reach the approximate location of the acupoint, feel it a little, and you'll quickly find the corresponding acupoint," Rock Lee explained earnestly.

Wukong suddenly understood; so that's how it is!

He was about to close his eyes and search for the acupoints again using the method taught by Rock Lee when he suddenly discovered something.

"Um... what should I do if I run out of chakra?"

Wukong scratched his head, his clear eyes looking at Rock Lee with a questioning gaze.

?

Lee Rock was stunned, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head.

"You...you don't have chakra??"

He was taken aback by Wukong's words, and his mind even went blank.

If it were just ordinary people who didn't have chakra, that would be one thing, but how could someone as strong as you, who couldn't even beat Guy, possibly not have chakra?

"Ahem, well, Goku's situation is a bit special. He doesn't actually have chakra; instead, he has another kind of energy."

.

At this moment, Jiraiya, who had been observing from the sidelines, finally stepped forward to explain for Goku.

This explanation not only failed to dispel Rock Lee's doubts, but actually made him even more confused.

Another kind of energy? What does that mean? How can there be another kind of energy in the human body?

He opened his mouth, looked at Jiraiya, then at Goku, and for a moment he was unable to recover from the lapse.

Jiraiya didn't explain further to him, but looked at Goku and said, "Goku, I've been thinking about these questions. Although you don't have chakra, you should have meridians and acupoints. I just don't know if they're exactly the same as ours, or if the energy in your body flows through the meridians like chakra. If both of these conditions are met, I think you might be able to successfully master the Eight Gates."

His words were incisive and hit the nail on the head. If Wukong's meridians and acupoints were different from theirs, then how could he open the Eight Gates?

However, if Wukong's energy does not flow along the meridians, then the acupoints become meaningless.

Normally, this shouldn't be a problem, but since Wukong is from another world, it's not impossible for him to have physical differences with the people of his native world.

After listening to Jiraiya's words, Goku nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, Uncle Jiraiya. I'll see if I can find these pressure points."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and began to sense the condition inside his body.

As he entered a meditative state, Rock Lee shook his head violently, finally shaking off the things that were making his head feel like it was about to explode.

He decided to stop thinking about these things he couldn't understand. He didn't care about any special circumstances Goku might have. All he knew was that he had promised Kai-sensei that he would teach Goku the Eight Gates.

So he stared intently at Wukong, his lips pressed tightly together, as if he intended to keep watching until Wukong opened his eyes and told him the moment he found the acupoint.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the trees not far away.

Occasionally, a few clear bird calls drift from the woods, adding a touch of vitality and life to this tranquil place.

Time slips away, bit by bit.

Half an hour had passed since Wukong closed his eyes.

For the past half hour, Wukong remained motionless, like a stone statue, and no matter what noises came from the outside world, he could not open his eyes.

Opposite him, Rock Lee's eyes were bloodshot, because he hadn't blinked for almost half an hour, staring intently at Goku, waiting for Goku to open his eyes.

In contrast, Jiraiya was much more relaxed and comfortable. Feeling uncomfortable from sitting for too long, he simply lay down, crossed his legs, put his hands behind his head, and squinted in the sunlight, making it seem as if he had already fallen asleep.

Suddenly, Jiraiya opened his eyes, and his eyes were clear, showing no sign of being asleep.

The reason he opened his eyes was none other than that Wukong had finally finished meditating.

"Phew~ We finally found them all."

Wukong opened his eyes, instinctively stretched, and made a ripping sound.

Although it took him a while to find the acupoints, thankfully he found them all.

Rock Lee witnessed Goku come to life before his eyes, but his brain didn't react immediately because he had been staring for so long that his brain had become somewhat numb.

Jiraiya sat up and asked Goku, "Have you found those eight pressure points?"

He took a deep breath, snapping out of his daze. Ignoring the stinging in his eyes, he asked with delight, "Wukong, you did it?!"

"Yes, I found it." Goku smiled brightly in response to their questions.

Under Rock Lee's guidance and Jiraiya's reminder, he began to feel the flow of ki within his body.

He had never paid attention to how Qi flowed before, but now, observing for the first time, he realized that the Qi in his body was constantly flowing back and forth along a fixed route, even when he wasn't consciously guiding it.

Then it dawned on him that this must be the meridians that Rock Lee had been talking about.

After some observation, he discovered that there were many meridians in his body, spreading throughout his entire body. Whenever he had a thought, the Qi would travel through these meridians to the place he wanted it to reach, following his thoughts.

Intrigued by this, he tried it many times before finally focusing his attention on finding the eight acupoints of the Eight Gates Formation.

Following the directions given by Rock Lee, he quickly found the corresponding meridians and then followed them to locate the eight acupoints without any discrepancies between the meridians and acupoints that Jiraiya had worried about.

After telling Jiraiya and Rock Lee about the situation, Jiraiya smiled and said, "It seems I was overthinking it."

Rock Lee jumped up excitedly, shouting, "That's fantastic!"

Wukong found the eight acupoints of the Eight Gates Formation, which means he has already stepped into the gate of the Eight Gates Formation. He only needs to take one more step to successfully open the Eight Gates Formation.

Thinking of this, Rock Lee quickly calmed himself down, took a few deep breaths, and said seriously to Wukong, "Wukong, the next step is the last one. Concentrate your energy to open up the acupoints, just like you're trying to break through a boulder blocking the entrance to a cave!"

This is your first time learning this ninjutsu, so don't rush to break through the next pressure point after you've broken through the first one. Wait until you've fully adapted to the increased power before considering breaking through the next pressure point.

Rock Lee explained it very carefully and seriously, but he wasn't worried that Goku would fail to pass the test. After all, this was the simplest step in cultivating the Eight Gates Formation, and as long as one's physical strength was sufficient, everyone could succeed.

"Uh-huh."

Wukong nodded, then clenched his fist and began to muster his strength to break through the first acupoint, that is, to open the gate.

"Open the door! Open it!"

He mimicked Matt Ke's low shout, gathering immense power as he slammed into the open door.

As expected, the door was easily broken open.

As a result, a power that had never appeared in his body before surged violently out of the opening, rapidly increasing his strength, and a powerful aura burst forth from his body!

boom!!!

A white aura suddenly appeared around Goku, and an invisible wave of energy instantly struck Jiraiya and Rock Lee, who were standing very close by, causing them to stagger back several steps. The latter even fell to the ground with a thud.

"Such a powerful aura!!" Jiraiya's pupils shrank.

After opening the Eight Gates, one's energy becomes violent, so Goku can no longer suppress his aura and hide his power as before.

This also meant that he exposed all his power to Jiraiya, and after feeling the terrifying aura brought by this power, Jiraiya realized that Goku was actually this powerful!

His previous estimates of Goku's strength, which he had repeatedly overstated, were actually underestimated!

"So this is the power of the Eight Gates after they've been opened? It's really powerful."

Enveloped in white flames, Wukong clenched his fist, feeling the greatly enhanced power within him, and muttered to himself with some delight.

However, he soon discovered a small problem: in this state, his body would suffer extremely minor damage, but it would be automatically repaired by his life restoration ability in the blink of an eye.

boom!!!

He quickly forgot about this minor issue and, in order to better feel the power he was experiencing, he soared into the sky and threw dozens of punches and leg swings in mid-air with lightning speed. Then, he landed on the ground, touched the ground with his toes, and instantly appeared a hundred meters away.

Then, it appeared in other places one after another, moving so fast that Jiraiya and Rock Lee could not catch it at all.

"Wow, that's fast, I can't even see where he is..." Lee Rock, who had fallen to the ground earlier, was still standing up. His mouth was wide open, and his mind was completely blank.

"It's unbelievable... Goku's strength is probably already comparable to that of the First Hokage." Jiraiya exclaimed in amazement.

He did not live in the glorious era when Hashirama Senju fought against all sides and shook the entire ninja world. He only heard about Hashirama Senju's legend from his teachers or seniors.

His teacher told him that the First Hokage possessed the immense power to easily destroy any ninja village, and that a single strike could cause mountains to crumble and the earth to split.

Although Wukong hadn't shown this much strength before, given his current aura and terrifying speed, he had this thought.

While the two were marveling at the scene, Wukong moved swiftly and rapidly across the open space, creating gusts of wind.

Half a minute later, he stopped and exhaled a breath of stale air: "Phew~~ I've almost gotten used to this power."

After saying that, he waved to Jiraiya and Rock Lee, who were ten meters away: "Uncle Jiraiya! Rock Lee! I'm about to open the second door now, be careful!"

After saying that, he distanced himself from the two of them by ten meters.

He had noticed the scene where his aura had affected the two of them, but it was too late for him to control it. The ferocity of his aura after activating the Eight Gates was beyond his imagination.

That's why he deliberately kept his distance from the two of them to avoid the aura he would exude when he opened the door affecting Jiraiya and Rock Lee.

"No problem! You can continue!" Rock Lee shouted at him as he got up from the ground.

Wukong nodded, then focused his mind and mustered his strength to rush toward the second gate.

"Open the door!"

boom!!!

As his power increased once more, the white aura surrounding him became increasingly turbulent, and faint red hues appeared on its surface. An invisible wave of energy once again swept outwards from him, engulfing all directions.

Cracks instantly appeared in the ground beneath their feet, spreading outwards in a crooked, spiderweb-like pattern.

At this moment, in addition to the renewed increase in power, Goku felt that the damage to his body had worsened, but it was quickly repaired automatically by his life-restoring ability.

"Phew~~ Is this the burden on the body that Xiao Li was talking about? But he seemed to have said before that the body would only start to suffer damage when the injury gate is opened. What's going on with me?"

Wukong muttered to himself.

Although the extent of his physical damage was still within his acceptable range, its worsening forced him to take the problem seriously. After all, it was agreed that damage would only begin to appear after the fourth door was opened, and he was already injured after opening only two doors. What would happen after that?
