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

Chapter 7 Li Chuan's Combat Abilities

"You have now mastered the basics of ninjutsu. I will teach you new ninjutsu gradually. Starting today, we will begin practicing actual combat."

As a ninja, ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu are merely means of combat; our ultimate goal in learning them is to defeat our opponents.

Therefore, learning how to fight is the most important thing.

After testing Li Chuan's Three Bodies Technique, Di Lu led him to the Fire Temple's training grounds.

In fact, the original teaching of Li Chuan did not include practical combat lessons. If the noble prince were to get injured, the Fire Temple would be in great trouble.

The safest approach is to teach the prince some fancy ninjutsu to please him.

However, his thinking has now changed, and practical training is naturally indispensable.

At this moment, the ninja monks of the Fire Temple were conducting their daily physical training on the training ground. With the blessing of the Sage's talent within them, they were displaying a high level of skill.

Chakra can activate cells and enhance bodily functions, especially lightning-style chakra, which has a particularly noticeable effect.

The immortals of the Fire Temple also have a certain advantage in this regard, so most of the ninja monks of the Fire Temple mainly focus on physical combat.

Of course, part of the reason is that the Fire Temple, unlike Konoha, doesn't have as many ninjutsu techniques for its monks to learn.

"Kawa, have you learned any basic combat skills before?"

Di Lu led Li Chuan to a corner of the training ground and asked.

While most nobles do not learn ninjutsu, they do learn some basic fighting skills from a young age, the most common being swordsmanship and knife skills.

Before the actual combat, he also needed to understand Li Chuan's level so that he could formulate a training plan for him.

"Master, I have learned some of it and often practice at home."

Li Chuan smiled slightly. Although his words were humble, the confidence in his tone still made Di Lu realize something.

"Kukai, come here for a second!"

After thinking for a moment, Di Lu turned around and called over a young monk who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.

"This is Kukai, he has the strength of a genin. Why don't you spar with him?"

After saying that, he gave Hai a word of advice:

"Kukai, don't use ninjutsu or chakra. Be careful."

He just wanted to get a general idea of ​​Li Chuan's fighting level. If Kukai used chakra and ninjutsu, he was afraid Li Chuan wouldn't be able to withstand even one move, which would be too damaging to his confidence.

Kukai performed a Buddhist salute towards the land:

"Understood, Abbot."

The other party is a prince of the Land of Fire; even if he had a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare to really hurt him.

However, being able to beat up a prince of noble status would be something to be very proud of in the future.

The monks in the temple all knew that Li Chuan was a prince of the Land of Fire, but because of his noble status and the fact that he usually stayed in the training room to cultivate diligently, they had hardly spoken to each other.

However, in their hearts, they thought the same as Di Lu at first: that this prince was just here to have some fun.

Older monks are fine, but younger ones like Kukai inevitably feel more jealous.

The abbot personally guides the training; previously, only the Fire Temple had this privilege.

Seeing that Kukai was going to spar with Li Chuan, the ninja monks who had been watching the scene all stopped training and surrounded him with somewhat gloating expressions.

Seeing this, Jiroku didn't say anything, but simply asked everyone to make room in the middle for Li Chuan and Kukai.

Although he instructed Kukai not to use excessive force, it was a good thing to make Li Chuan realize his shortcomings and thus motivate him to continue to work hard.

Guiding disciples in their spiritual practice is like this: you can't suppress them too much, but you can't put no pressure on them at all either. You have to find the right balance.

"Senior Brother Kukai, please enlighten me."

Standing in the center of the training field, Li Chuan showed a rare hint of excitement on his face.

He also wanted to see what kind of strength a genin-level ninja possessed, and where he, with his current strength, would stand in this world.

"Junior brother, you're too kind. I need to prepare to make my move."

After giving a reminder, Kukai made an attacking gesture, and in a flash, he rushed towards where Li Chuan was.

Faced with the rapidly approaching Kukai and his raised fist aimed at his abdomen, Li Chuan frowned slightly, then relaxed.

"That's true. This isn't Konoha after all. How could a genin's strength compare to Sasuke and Naruto's, especially without using chakra boosts?"

Yes, in his eyes, this young ninja monk named Kukai was full of flaws at this moment, and his movement and punching speed were much slower than he had expected.

Of course, to outsiders, Li Chuan seemed to be stunned, but only Di Lu seemed to have sensed something from Li Chuan's expression.

"I've offended you, junior brother!"

Seeing Li Chuan standing there dumbfounded, Kukai did not stop. His fist still struck Li Chuan's abdomen directly, but he only slightly reduced the force by three-tenths.

However, the scene he had envisioned—Li Chuan being hit and clutching his stomach, kneeling down—did not occur. Instead, his hand went empty, and Li Chuan's figure vanished before his eyes.

"A substitution technique?"

Kukai's first reaction was that Li Chuan had used the Substitution Jutsu to dodge the attack, a ninjutsu commonly used by ninjas in battle.

He quickly realized something was wrong, because there were no items from the stand-in in front of him, but instead, he heard Li Chuan's faint voice behind him.

"Senior Brother Kukai, you can use both ninjutsu and chakra, otherwise you are no match for me."

It turned out that just as Kukai bent down to throw a punch at Li Chuan, Li Chuan took a side step and moved behind Kukai with his toes lightly touching the ground like a swallow skimming the water.

If he were to retaliate at this moment, Kukai would already be on the ground.

"impossible!"

Upon hearing Li Chuan's voice, Kukai's pupils shrank instantly, and he turned around and immediately delivered a whip kick.

Unfortunately, Li Chuan easily dodged it again.

He entered the temple at the age of nine and trained hard for seven years to become a genin. He couldn't believe that his fighting skills were inferior to those of a pampered prince.

With punches and kicks, Kukai continued his relentless assault on Li Chuan without using chakra.

At this moment, in everyone's eyes, Li Chuan seemed to have transformed into a swallow, light and agile, able to easily dodge Kong Hai's attacks from all sorts of incredible angles.

After relentless attacks, Kukai was starting to pant, while Li Chuan remained calm and composed, as if he were taking a stroll.

"Kukai, use your full power!"

Di Lu, who had been observing from the sidelines, now had his eyes shining. He never expected that Li Chuan would have such a high level of combat skill.

Is the Sky Sea weak?

He wasn't weak among the genin of the Fire Temple, but in the battle, he couldn't even touch Li Chuan's clothes. Their fighting skills were simply not on the same level.

Indeed, Kukai did not use chakra or ninjutsu, but Li Chuan also did not use ninjutsu or chakra.
