The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

At this moment, in Zu's perception, many "light spots" with relatively strong qi and blood were rapidly moving away.

"Is it because my Qi and blood are too abundant?"

Zu seemed to be deep in thought.

"Sigh, can't I even be a little open and honest? You've all run away, what am I going to eat?"

After slightly calming his blood and qi fluctuations, Zu began running into the dense forest.

With a powerful stomp, a footprint was left on the ground, creating cracks that spread outwards. Zu's body had already burst forth, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

"Phew, the strength of my body is already comparable to that of the other clones, and in terms of physical endurance, thanks to the presence of Qi and blood, it is far superior to that of the other clones."

The power of Qi and blood is used in conjunction with martial arts or physical techniques.

Qi and blood circulate throughout the body. Even if the foot is injured, the power of qi and blood will heal the injured area on its own immediately. Some minor injuries can even be healed in the blink of an eye.

Zu darted rapidly through the jungle, searching for prey.

He still needs to take supplements at this moment.

He had already tried it before coming out; directly absorbing natural energy was feasible, but the efficiency was ridiculously low.

It seems that the body's ability to digest natural energy is insufficient; even though it absorbs so much energy, it cannot digest it.

Perhaps it was because his spiritual level was not high enough, and his body's ability to absorb and digest pure natural energy was still insufficient, so the ancestor did not force him.

However, future nourishment will require wild animal meat.

In fact, Zu had a vague guess that the current Qi and blood power was actually the power of the body's flesh and blood, rather than the yang part of the natural energy. If he wanted to replenish it, it would be best to devour the flesh and blood along with it and absorb the other parts of the flesh and blood. Only in this way could Qi and blood be restored quickly.

"This is the one."

After running for a long time, Zu finally found a beast with relatively strong blood and energy.

In my perception, this beast is the most powerful being in the vicinity.

The feedback from his Qi and Blood alone was no weaker than that of the guards.

Before them stood a bear-like beast over five meters tall, its body devoid of any excess fat, its perfect lines revealing its power without reservation.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zu charged forward, appearing directly in front of the black bear. His blood and qi surged, striking his right hand with a straight punch that clashed with the black bear's.

"boom!"

One blow wasn't enough, so Zu swung his fists and launched attack after attack against the black bear.

"Roar!"

Feeling the pain in his palm, the black bear was enraged and slammed it down with all its might, causing Zu to stagger backward.

"What incredible strength!"

Indeed, the strength of one's qi and blood depends on the species.

At this moment, Zu Shuang's fists only had slight scratches, and the wounds were healing rapidly.

In the few clashes between Zu and the black bear, the surrounding area was already a mess. The craters in the ground and the bushes blown by the impact of the collision all reflected the power of the two people, or rather, the man and the bear.

The power of Qi and Blood is the strength of the physical body. The power that a ninja of the same level can achieve with ninjutsu can also be greatly enhanced by the strength of a martial artist.

"Great strength doesn't make you a beast!"

Zu's eyes hardened, and he swung his right fist, gathering his qi and blood to compress the air in front of him, forming an air cannon that shot towards the black bear.

Immediately afterwards, he swung his fists repeatedly, firing air cannons at the black bear.

Zu moved swiftly, arriving in front of the still-painful black bear. He unleashed the power of his blood and qi in his right fist, striking the bear's abdomen hard and piercing it through.

The scene was somewhat bloody.

However, Zu didn't feel uncomfortable about the scene in his memory where Might Guy punched him into pieces.

Compared to others, I'm nothing.

"However, it seems that my body is now capable of performing the taijutsu that comes with the Eight Gates."

Techniques such as Outer Lotus, Inner Lotus, Morning Peacock, and Daytime Tiger are not exclusive to the Eight Gates Formation. The theory is that as long as the strength and physical condition meet the requirements, they can be used.

It's only because the developer was Might Guy, who had mastered the Eight Gates Formation, and the only ability that could meet the corresponding conditions for its execution was the Eight Gates Formation, that these taijutsu techniques have always been classified under the Eight Gates Formation.

Zu's compressed air cannon attack was effortless, indicating that his physical condition had clearly reached a certain standard.

At the same time, he also sensed it during the compressed air fortification process.

"The power of Qi and blood can offset some of the pressure or impact."

To expand on this, it's not just that the pressure the body experiences when launching an attack can be partially offset by the power of Qi and Blood; the power of Qi and Blood also helps to mitigate damage.

It can reduce stress and share the damage, while also strengthening the body. With the combination of these two factors, the power of Qi and blood can be said to be quite powerful in physical techniques.

This is not the protective function of ninjutsu, but the spontaneous ability of qi and blood power.

Qi and blood power is generated by the abundance of blood and qi in the body. It is a part of the body and can actually be regarded as an organ that is distributed throughout the body.

After cleaning up the black bear's carcass, Zu put it into his ninja tool bag and continued on his way.

Along the way, they hunted wild animals and collected medicinal herbs.

Now his body has been nurtured to its limit, and it can be said that the inheritance he has received has come to an end.

Next, he will begin to expand.

In extreme states, the powerful Qi and blood are compressed and crushed, breaking through the shackles and achieving physical sublimation.

This large amount of Qi and blood requires the accumulation of ancestral essence.

At that time, perhaps we'll need the help of earth and stone to compress all the essence of flesh and blood into a single pill.

Of course, too much is definitely not good, so wild animals themselves need to have a lot of blood and flesh energy.

This black bear is not enough.

The ancestor simply regarded it as food to replenish qi and blood in the future.

"The beings with the most abundant vital energy and blood should be those ferocious beasts, right?"

Fortunately, the information I obtained from the "small tribe" included the distribution of some ferocious beasts.

While there aren't many ferocious beasts possessing divine abilities, they haven't reached the level of being rare.

Their supernatural abilities can be passed down through bloodlines, just like bloodline inheritance. Of course, the birth rate of ferocious beasts is still a bit low, which is the main reason why their numbers are small.

The hunting by Onmyoji doesn't actually have a significant impact on their numbers.

After all, a tribe only has one Onmyoji.

Moreover, Onmyoji must be selective in which ferocious beasts they hunt.

Those ferocious beasts that are merely incredibly strong and capable of unleashing their vital energy are simply beneath the notice of Onmyoji.

Only those ferocious beasts possessing special supernatural abilities are worth the effort and resources to hunt and kill.

"There seems to be a gathering place for ferocious beasts not far ahead. They seem to control fire, and they are quite common."

However, common supernatural phenomena cannot be said to be useless.

Zu was interested in these ferocious beasts that wielded fire, since Onmyoji could borrow the power of shikigami.

Although Zu was quite satisfied with the blood and qi power of martial arts, he was still bothered by the excessive consumption of magical attacks.

However, the Onmyoji's abilities can make up for it.

Recapture a fire-type shikigami; that seems just right.

Moreover, with fire, he can also refine pills himself, right?

Tu Shi only specializes in researching and developing alchemy; it doesn't mean that only he knows how to make pills.

Skills, memory, and experience are all shared within one soul.

Killing ferocious beasts not only yields flesh and blood rich in energy, but also allows you to obtain shikigami (spirits), making it a win-win situation.

Chapter 344 Onmyoji Legacy

"boom!"

The flames exploded, leaving a charred crater in the ground, and Zu's disheveled figure appeared beside the crater.

"Damn, it's one thing to start a fight at the drop of a hat, but the worst part is that it's a group fight."

Unable to withstand the onslaught, Zu had no choice but to retreat, running for a full two kilometers before finally shaking off the enraged Flame Tyrant.

The Flame Tyrant is the name given to the "small tribe," which is actually a bull-shaped ferocious beast that controls fire.

While they may be considered intelligent, their attacks rely entirely on instinct, lacking any strategy or method, and often involve trading blows for damage. This isn't limited to combat; under normal circumstances, they act solely on instinct, whether for reproduction or anything else.

They might not seem intelligent, but they'll still gang up on you!

That's absolutely infuriating.

Of course, the "small tribe" also records that the attack by ferocious beasts only occurs between groups, that is, ferocious beasts of the same species that are related by blood and live together will join forces. Otherwise, they will only kill any creature other than themselves that threatens them.

Although they rely solely on instinct, that instinct is far too powerful.

Its control over fire is quite powerful; even a mere instinctive release possesses destructive power, and its fire becomes even more powerful when enraged.

At that moment, he understood why Onmyoji would seek out such ferocious beasts to create shikigami.

Damn, the supernatural potential of these beasts is too great.

With just instinctive attacks, his overall strength had already reached the level of a Jonin, and he had the ability to threaten elite Jonin. When more than ten of them came together, they beat Zu into a sorry state.

"Third time already!"

The third time is the limit, and Zu really got serious. He had to kill a ferocious beast today.

This is truly bizarre.

I, the dignified Martial Ancestor, uh, the future Martial Ancestor, can't even defeat a mindless ferocious beast!

Don't say it was more than a dozen.

If you haven't fought, you haven't fought.

Zu was also locked in a battle with the ferocious beasts, determined not to give up until he killed one of them!
