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

Chapter 8 Complete Victory

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony!"

Unable to hit Li Chuan, Kukai was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Upon hearing that Jiraiya had released his restraints, he immediately filled his entire body with chakra and launched another attack on Li Chuan using his most proficient taijutsu.

"That's more interesting!"

Seeing that Kukai's speed had increased dramatically in an instant, Li Chuan's lips curled up slightly. He finally stopped dodging and changed his posture from a swallow to a tiger, facing Kukai head-on.

In his previous life, Li Chuan mainly practiced Xingyi Quan, and his specialty was Xingyi Five Elements Fist, including Pi Quan, Zuan Quan, Beng Quan, Pao Quan, and Heng Quan.

Secondly, there are the twelve forms of Xingyi: dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, alligator, rooster, swallow, hawk, snake, bird, eagle, and bear.

During the years he practiced the Fist of Life and Death, he encountered many masters and also studied Bagua, Tai Chi, Wing Chun, Shaolin, and Mantis Boxing.

The movement technique he used to dodge Kūkai's attack was based on the Swallow Form, and the fist technique he is now using to fight Kūkai head-on is the Tiger Form Fist.

"He actually overpowered Kukai without using any chakra!"

At this moment, the ninja monks who were watching had changed from their initial gloating and eagerness to see the prince make a fool of himself to a uniform state of utter astonishment.

They could clearly sense that Li Chuan had not used any chakra in his battle with Kukai; he had suppressed Kukai, who had been enhanced by chakra, solely by relying on his powerful physical strength and superb combat skills.

"The tiger has been unleashed!"

Crouching low to dodge a straight punch aimed at his face, Li Chuan clenched his hands into tiger claws and fiercely shoved them towards Kong Hai's abdomen.

"it's over."

In fact, after being enhanced by chakra, Kukai's speed and strength had already surpassed Li Chuan's.

However, Li Chuanzuo's combat skills were far superior to Kukai's, a genin who spent his days sparring with his fellow disciples in the temple and had never experienced a real life-or-death battle.

That's why we have this result now.

"Huh!"

However, just as Li Chuan's tiger claw was about to touch Kukai's abdomen, Kukai suddenly turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared from the spot.

"It is—a substitution technique."

After a moment of stunned silence, Li Chuan looked at the small stone on the ground and immediately understood.

Although he had studied ninjutsu for a month, he still hadn't fully adapted, and would subconsciously ignore the existence of ninjutsu during battles.

"Fire Release: Fireball Technique!"

Just then, a surge of heat suddenly came from behind, causing Li Chuan's expression to change.

It turned out that when Kukai sensed the danger, he immediately formed hand seals and used the Substitution Technique to appear six meters behind Li Chuan, and then, panting heavily, used a Fire Release ninjutsu.

The Substitution Technique is a basic technique of the Three Bodies, and also the most practical ninjutsu among the Three Bodies.

Unlike the clones created by the Shadow Clone Technique, which have no offensive power and can only slightly confuse the opponent, the Transformation Technique is useful for inexperienced ninjas, but experienced Jonin can see through it at a glance.

The Substitution Jutsu is frequently used even in battles between Jonin. When used well, it can not only save lives but also turn the tide of battle.

However, it also has its drawbacks.

First, you can't run too far. If you're in an open area and the opponent uses a wide-range, lethal ninjutsu, then using the substitution jutsu is suicide.

Secondly, there's the issue of substitute items. You can use some nearby items as substitutes, but if the area is too open, you can only use items you've prepared in advance.

Third, there will be a brief pause after using the Stand skill. If there are no buildings or trees nearby to provide cover, it is easy for a skilled opponent to seize the opportunity and kill the user instantly.

Therefore, the Substitution Technique can be used by strong individuals in battle, but one must pay attention to the environment and timing.

Li Chuan had only recently begun learning ninjutsu and was unfamiliar with the fighting style of ninjas. Otherwise, he should have observed his surroundings and located the position of the substitute as soon as he discovered that the opponent was using the substitution technique.

"Junior brother, you flatter me."

As the fireball was about to hit Li Chuan's back, Kukai revealed a smug smile.

The opponent's fighting skills were indeed superb, but the reason why ninjas were able to replace samurai and become the most powerful military force in the world was because of ninjutsu.

"It's not over yet."

Li Chuan's lips curled slightly, and the chakra he cultivated as a member of the Immortal Clan was instantly activated, greatly enhancing his physical abilities. He exerted force with his legs and used the White Crane Spreads Wings technique, leaping up at the last second to dodge the fireball attack.

"What?!"

As Kukai fought, they had already overlooked the fact that Li Chuan hadn't used any chakra.

"A tiger descends the mountain!"

Li Chuan landed on both feet, glared again, and seemed to transform into a fierce tiger descending the mountain, arriving in front of Kong Hai in the blink of an eye with incomparably powerful momentum.

Seeing the fist rapidly enlarging in front of him, Kukai, overwhelmed by Li Chuan's imposing aura, completely gave up resisting and tightly closed his eyes.

A moment later, the expected pain did not occur; instead, a gentle voice sounded in my ear.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior brother. I have benefited greatly from it."

A martial artist's control over his body is no joke. When he realized that Kukai had completely given up resisting, he stopped his fist precisely two centimeters away from Kukai.

Kukai looked at Li Chuan, who was smiling, and a hint of shame appeared on his face.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, junior brother."

"Kukai is doing well, he's improved since before. You guys keep training. Kawa, come with me."

At this moment, Jiro looked at Li Chuan as if he were looking at a priceless treasure. The joy in his eyes was so great that even the surrounding ninja monks could clearly sense it.

How could he not be happy?

The fighting skills that Li Chuan just displayed, especially after using chakra, have basically surpassed those of a genin and reached the level of a chunin who specializes in taijutsu.

With a little guidance, and by learning how to coordinate ninjutsu in battle, one can be considered quite good even among Chunin.

Once their chakra levels improve and they reach the requirements to learn the secret ninjutsu "Help: Thousand Hands Killing Return" and "Wrathful Vajra," it will be just around the corner for the Fire Temple to have another elite Jonin.

Elite Jonin might not be much in those big ninja villages, but in the Fire Temple, he's currently the only one still alive.

I never expected that the disciple I took in because of his status and money would be so talented. It must be Buddha's blessing.

In fact, Di Lu didn't know that what he saw about Li Chuan's combat skills today was just the tip of the iceberg.

A martial artist's skills are not limited to this. Today is a friendly spar, not a life-or-death battle. Li Chuan did not use many of his deadly moves that could kill with a single blow.

"No, we need to stay calm, stay calm, we can't let him get too arrogant."

Taking a deep breath, Di Lu tried his best to calm his excited emotions, then turned and walked towards the cultivation room.

"Yes, Master!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chuan bowed to the monks and quickly followed.
