After this little episode, the pain continued and intensified over time. Several times Lin Yu almost fainted, but he managed to pull through each time!

Fainting would cause him to lose control of the situation, and it would also inevitably lead Orochimaru to have some strange thoughts again...

To completely subdue someone like Orochimaru, the only way is to demonstrate overwhelming potential and strength!

The wait was long not only for Lin Yu, but also for A Fei and Uzuki Yuhi.

The two of them neither ate nor drank, and waited in the corridor for a whole day and night.

In the agonizing wait, those 24 hours that could determine 'life or death' passed.

"How are you feeling, Yu-kun?" Orochimaru asked.

"Although my body is churning, I can no longer feel any pain..." Lin Yu said.

Orochimaru nodded: "Hmm, it seems that your body has successfully produced 'antibodies' and gained tolerance to Hashirama's cells. You have passed the gates of hell. Whether you assimilate or fuse with them is entirely up to your own destiny, Yu-kun. But no matter which way you go, you will be a completely different person now."

"I'm a perfectionist. It's either death or perfection. I don't care about assimilation, I only want integration!" Lin Yu said without leaving any room for negotiation.

"Ah, your determination is good, but what if it results in assimilation?" Orochimaru couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Then I will cultivate another perfect Hashirama artificial body, extract perfect original cells, and start the whole process all over again. No matter how many times I fail, I will try again until... I get the result I want!" Lin Yu said decisively.

"What admirable persistence," Orochimaru sighed, but in his heart he thought: One attempt can determine success or failure. If the fusion cannot be achieved, no matter how many times it is attempted, the result will be the same. 'Knowledge' and 'methods' can only remove obstacles. What plays a decisive role is 'capacity'... However, before the result is determined, let's not tell Yu-kun yet.

"How long will it take to find out the final result?" Lin Yu asked a crucial question.

“Implanting perfect Hashirama native cells is unprecedented. The previous process was something I tried to establish and deduce myself, so I can’t give a specific time for this final step. But when the results are in, you should be able to feel it for yourself…” Orochimaru said.

“I understand. Tell Afei and Xiyang that I am out of danger and that they should go and rest instead of waiting outside. Orochimaru, you should go and rest too…” Lin Yu said.

"No, I will witness the end, otherwise, I will not be able to eat or sleep in peace," Orochimaru said with a smile.

"Whatever you want..." Lin Yu closed his eyes and waited quietly.

I don't know how long it took, but it was a very long wait.

Rumbling sounds filled the air... Suddenly, the entire underground area began to tremble violently.

Lin Yu opened his eyes: "I can feel it, power, power is surging out from every cell in my body, has it finally happened...?"

Chapter 38 Shocking and Unconventional!

"It's been half a month since then, and I wonder how Yu is doing..." Uzuki Yuhi put a peanut in his mouth and chewed it absentmindedly.

Ah Fei sat on a stone bench not far away. He, who was usually very talkative, was noticeably quieter these days.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the ground began to shake...

"An earthquake?" Uzuki Yuhi was taken aback.

Afei then looked at the demon statue of the heretic.

Glug! White Zetsu popped out from the Gedo Mazo: "Hey! There's movement over there with Yu!"

Ah Fei had already gotten up and left.

"Wait for me!" Uzuki Yuhi quickly followed.

In the corridor, Lin Yu, dressed in a loose white robe and wearing wooden clogs, walked over, with Orochimaru following beside him, watching A-Fei and Uzuki Yuhi arrive after hearing the news.

"Please be patient, both of you. I need to take Yu Jun for a test now..."

In the equipment room, the lights are on, and the intercolumnar artificial body used to extract progenitor cells is stored in a corner as a precious specimen.

Orochimaru changed into a lab coat, turned on a device, and Lin Yu sat down in the chair on the device, while Afei and Uzuki Yuhi waited by his side.

"What is this device used for?" Lin Yu asked after sitting down.

Orochimaru said, "This is a X-ray vision device that I invented years ago based on my research into the Hyuga clan and the iris imaging principle of the Byakugan. It can be used to check if there are any abnormalities in your body. After all, it's such a massive cell transplantation project, so it's better to be cautious..."

"Oh, so the X-ray machine in the Naruto world was invented by Orochimaru?" Lin Yu thought to himself.

Orochimaru pressed a switch, and the dome-like device moved above Lin Yu, casting a white light.

On the display device, a perspective image of Lin Yu's entire body appeared.

After careful observation, Orochimaru nodded: "Hmm, there are no lesions or aftereffects. It seems that this cell transplant was a success."

Hearing this, Uzuki Yuhi breathed a sigh of relief. For her, whether Lin Yu was strong or not was secondary; the most important thing was his health.

"So, is it assimilation or fusion?" Afei asked.

"I'm about to reveal the answer to this mystery..." Orochimaru smiled and placed several magnetic stickers with wires on Lin Yu's main acupoints.

Then I pressed a switch.

Buzz! The cover above Lin Yu's head rotated and moved away.

"Yu-kun, remove your mask," Orochimaru said.

"Oh." Lin Yu reached out and took off the mask.

Seeing Lin Yu's face, which was even more handsome than before, Uzuki Yuhi's eyes lit up.

An instrument with electrodes fell from above and was slowly placed on Lin Yu's head.

Orochimaru said, "Yu-kun, some current will pass through your body to synchronize your 'bioelectric field' and calculate your cellular energy levels. You might feel a slight tingling sensation~"

"Hmm, I'll just treat it as an electronic massage..." Lin Yu closed his eyes.

Orochimaru pressed another switch.

On the screen, the number grew rapidly and quickly surpassed 10.

"What do these numbers represent?" Uzuki Yuhi asked curiously.

"The calculation of body cell energy value will take some time, so I'll explain its principle to you. The human body is made up of cells, with a total of about 140 billion cells. Each cell contains a certain amount of energy, and the sum of cellular energy is 'body energy'. Together with 'spiritual energy', it constitutes what we know as 'chakra'!"

Orochimaru turned to look at the device screen, where the number had exceeded 30, but showed no signs of stopping.

"I developed this body cell energy detector by quantifying the body's energy levels."

"You mean quantification? Doesn't quantification require a benchmark, a basic unit? What is your benchmark?" Uzuki Yuhi was once an elite member of the Dark Division and had received relevant training.

"Hmph, good question~ Kabuto, I'm currently lacking an assistant, would you like to consider it?" Orochimaru extended an olive branch.

"I have no interest..." Just thinking about it gave Uzuki Yuhi goosebumps.

"To make it applicable to all populations, I use the average body energy of newborns as the benchmark, defined as the basic unit 1, and the body energy of ordinary adults as 10, with individual differences being negligible."

"Trained ninjas have physical energy levels far exceeding this number. On average, genin have 100, chunin 200, jonin 500, elite jonin 1000, and the Kage who can command a ninja village have physical energy levels above 3000. A very few with special physiques can even approach 10000. 10000 is the ceiling for those without Hashirama's power."

"For those who don't possess Hashirama's power?" Uzuki Yuhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yes, Hashirama's power is a watershed moment. As long as you get even a little bit of Hashirama's power, your body's energy will undergo a qualitative leap. Take those ordinary White Zetsu for example, their body energy value is 15000!"

"15000? But their combat strength isn't that strong!" Uzuki Yuhi exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph, who said that physical energy level is the same as combat power? Combat power involves many aspects and cannot be generalized..." Orochimaru laughed.

The setting sun in the month of Mao seemed lost in thought.

"Yu-jun's body was originally half White Zetsu, but after that White Zetsu body merged with Yu-jun, it was also strengthened—its body energy value is nearly 50000! That's much higher than Danzo's 42000, one of my more successful experimental subjects in the past."

Orochimaru chuckled, glancing at the silent 'Tobi' beside him, his gaze suddenly sharpening: "Tobi, you are an anomaly among the White Zetsu. Although I haven't conducted a precise test on you, I conservatively estimate your physical energy level to be over 500000!"

Swish!

Uozuki Sunset stared at A-Fei in utter shock.

Even Lin Yu opened his eyes and looked at A Fei in surprise...

Abi's unfathomable pupils stared at Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, I underestimated you before..."

At this moment, the numbers on the instrument had exceeded 50 and were heading towards 100 million.

"Same to you." Orochimaru pointed to the specimen of the First Hokage's artificial body in the corner and said, "This is a perfect replica of the First Hokage, cultivated by the Gedo Mazo. Its body energy value is 136 million."

No one was surprised; that was the God of Ninjas, after all. In fact, the number seemed rather low.

"So this is the body energy level of the First Generation Lord when he was alive?" asked Uzuki Yuhi.

Orochimaru shook his head and laughed, "No~ This is, after all, an artificial body without consciousness, without any training or development. The First Hokage was a veteran of countless battles and possessed 'Sage Techniques,' so his physical energy must be far greater than that of the clone, perhaps even exceeding the computing limit of my device by 200 million!"

"Therefore, Yu Jun, if it is assimilation, your body's energy value should stabilize in the range of 80 to 120. If it is fusion, it can probably reach around 150 to 180! Now, let's look forward to the results that will be revealed soon!"

"Gulp!" Uzuki Yuhi swallowed hard and looked at the screen.

110 million, 120 million, 130 million, 140 million... and it's still rising, already exceeding 150 million!

Orochimaru exclaimed excitedly, "It's confirmed! Yu-kun, it's fusion! It's fusion!!"

Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly.

The numbers kept changing... 160 million, 170 million, and soon reached the 180 million threshold that Orochimaru had mentioned, but... there was still no sign of it hitting the daily limit.

“Koreiwa, Masaka (This is, could it be)…” Orochimaru’s vertical pupils suddenly widened, and his body couldn’t help but tremble.

185 million, 190 million, 195 million, 196 million, 198 million, 199 million... 200 million!

The green numbers turn into a line of red text...

Drop drop! ! !

The instrument sounded an urgent alarm...

Along with that came Orochimaru's almost suffocating exclamation: "None, it's impossible to calculate!?"

boom!!!

With a loud bang, the body energy detection device exploded...

Several tens of minutes later, the group arrived on the ground.

The scene of Lin Yu fighting the Third Hokage just half a month ago is still vivid in my mind. That battle turned this area into a barren plain.

Whoosh! Lin Yu, wearing a brand-new black cloak, strode forward. Orochimaru, Tobi, Uzuki Yuhi, and the White Zetsu were all standing at the base entrance, eagerly waiting.

There was a technique that Lin Yu couldn't wait to try out.

Gurgle! A white Zetsu emerged from the ground beside him, holding a pair of black combat gloves in its hands.

Lin Yu took the gloves and, as if in a ritual, put them on his hands.
