He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 5 Terrifying Talent

In the evening, after dinner, Li Chuan returned to his room and began his first chakra refinement.

After becoming Di Lu's disciple, Li Chuan sent Ji Nai and the others back to the Prince's Mansion. He had come to the Fire Temple to cultivate, not to enjoy himself, and did not need servants to wait on him.

Li Chuan's actions also made Di Lu nod in approval.

Although he knew that someone like Li Chuan, who started refining chakra at his age, might only ever reach the level of a genin, he still hoped that his disciple would put in some effort since Li Chuan was nominally his disciple.

Of course, as a prince of noble status, Li Chuan's treatment was different from that of ordinary disciples. At least he lived in a single room and did not have to sleep in a large dormitory like other monks.

"Huh, that's easy!"

Li Chuan's first attempt at extracting the chakra of the Immortal Clan was not as difficult as Di Lu had said; it might take one or two weeks to get the hang of it.

Instead, they very smoothly harmonized the three energies of body, spirit, and nature in proportion, transforming them into the chakra of the Immortal Clan.

However, after thinking about it, he felt that it made sense.

What are the difficulties in extracting chakra? What factors affect the speed of chakra training? These questions will be explained in detail in today's explanation by Jiraiya.

There are three main difficulties in extracting chakra normally: physical, mental, and control abilities.

The immortals gained a little more natural energy, but since the amount of natural energy required is extremely small, it can be ignored.

The stronger one's body and mind, the easier it is to be perceived and have one's energy extracted. The stronger one's control, the smoother one can fuse the three energies together and transform them into chakra.

These might be quite difficult for a normal seven or eight-year-old child.

But for Li Chuan, it was very simple.

First and foremost is the body. The most important thing in martial arts training is the body. Standing postures, breathing techniques, and the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound are all for strengthening the internal organs and the physical body.

Even without chakra and ninjutsu to enhance his body, Li Chuan's current pure physical strength is probably much stronger than that of an average genin, and might even be comparable to some chunin.

You should know that his body was already almost pushed to the limits of human potential, and after arriving in this world, the number of his cells suddenly more than doubled.

As for his spirit, how could someone who has honed his kung fu to such a level and frequently engages in life-or-death combat be weak in terms of spirit and will? Furthermore, the combined spirit of his two lifetimes makes him even stronger.

The most obvious manifestation of this is that his memory in this life is extremely strong; if he concentrates, he can remember everything he sees.

Finally, there's control, which is his greatest strength. As a martial artist, being able to control every muscle in the body is the bare minimum requirement.

That's why it went so smoothly when Li Chuan began to extract the talents of the immortals according to the methods of the Earthly Land Sect.

Moreover, given Li Chuan's physical abilities, his chakra refining speed far surpasses that of ordinary people, because the speed of chakra refining is primarily related to the body.

The stronger a person's vitality, the stronger their physical energy, and the faster they can extract chakra. Naruto's Uzumaki clan is a prime example.

Of course, having a lot of chakra doesn't necessarily mean being strong. A ninja's strength is determined by a combination of factors, including ninjutsu, taijutsu, experience, and skills.

Even when Naruto was still a genin, his chakra reserves far exceeded those of Kakashi, a jonin, yet Kakashi could defeat Naruto with just one hand.

However, having more chakra is definitely a good thing, because it means that in the end, the one with more chakra will win when the strength is equal, and many powerful ninjutsu also require a lot of chakra to be released.

The next day, it was the same training room.

"Chuan, refining the talent of the Immortal Clan is inherently more difficult than refining normal chakra, so you need to be patient. After trying it last night, if there are any parts you don't understand, you can ask, and your master will answer them for you."

Our goal for the next two weeks is to extract chakra. Only with chakra can we proceed with our training.

Jiro knew that there would be many problems when he first started extracting chakra, and he was afraid that the prince's disciple would be discouraged, so he comforted him as soon as he sat down.

"Master, I have refined chakra!"

Li Chuan smiled slightly.

He felt he didn't need to hide his strength and talent from Jiro; he believed he should demonstrate it. Only when Jiro felt that he wasn't just a casual disciple but truly had the potential to become a powerful figure would Jiro pass on all his ninjutsu to him.

"What? You've already extracted chakra? That's impossible! I don't think you need to feel pressured about chakra extraction. Extracting chakra in a few months is normal."

Di Lu didn't believe Li Chuan's claim that he had extracted chakra at all. His first reaction was that his prince's disciple was too concerned about saving face.

This is quite normal. Having served as a bodyguard for a daimyo, Jiroku knows very well that nobles are very concerned about their reputation.

Li Chuan didn't explain, but instead concentrated the Immortal Clan's Chakra in his hand, making it emit a faint golden light.

He doesn't know how to form hand seals or use ninjutsu yet, so this is the only way he can prove that he has successfully extracted the chakra of the Sage Clan.

When Di Lu saw the iconic golden light of the Immortal Clan's talent in Li Chuan's hand, he was immediately as if he had been silenced by a silencing spell. His eyes widened, his mouth agape, and he stopped making any sound.

He was certain that Li Chuan hadn't possessed a single trace of chakra yesterday. He was also certain that the chakra emanating from Li Chuan's hands now was the unique Sage Mode chakra of the Fire Temple.

Therefore, Li Chuan, this twenty-year-old prince, successfully extracted the chakra of the Immortal Clan in just one night.

At the same time, he felt a pang of regret. With such good ninja talent, if he had become a ninja when he was young, he might have become a strong Jonin in the future.

What he didn't know was that Li Chuan hadn't actually spent an entire night, but rather only a dozen seconds, to successfully extract the Sage's Chakra, which was slower than normal chakra.

"Very good, you have great talent, your master is very pleased. Now that you have successfully extracted chakra, let's learn the most basic hand seals of ninjutsu today."

Basically, most ninjutsu is released through hand seals, and we have a total of twelve hand seals, each with a unique gesture, some of which are quite difficult.

Now follow me and learn them one by one. Remember, you must be accurate, otherwise the ninjutsu will not be able to be released successfully.

First one: Son!

"son!"

Li Chuan glanced at Di Lu's gesture and immediately copied it exactly.

With his exceptional muscle control and photographic memory, this hand seal was no challenge for a martial arts master.

Di Lu carefully examined Li Chuan's gestures, intending to correct any errors, but found that there were no errors to correct at all.

"Very good, the Zi seal is relatively simple. Next, we will learn the Chou seal."
