Alone and Infinite

"You mean, I should go save that kid with dark circles under his eyes and not let Li beat him to death?"

Aowu and Heitan chuckled softly.

No, what makes you think Li can win?

The sand has a very strong unloading force, and with Li's steel fist, it was a head-on collision.

The force was largely dissipated by the flowing sand, and then there was the damage reduction effect of chakra.

It would be strange if he could win. If you had just given Xiao Li a weapon, the outcome would have been completely different.

Xiao Li slowly unwrapped the bandages wrapped around his arm.

A surge of violent chakra erupted from every part of his body in an instant.

Eight Gates Dunjia!

"Boss, the Eight Gates Formation seems pretty good, huh?"

"Awoo!" said, watching Rock Lee unleash the Eight Gates and beat Gaara.

"Want to learn a move?"

"No, the side effects are too severe."

Li Xia gave a very direct assessment: he had never considered learning the Eight Gates Formation in this derivative world because of its side effects.

Compared to the explosive techniques like breathing exercises that can be used and stopped at will, the Eight Gates technique incurs considerable losses with each opening.

Although the breathing technique has begun to reach its limit, the previously powerful percentage bonus is no longer available.

However, it is quite useful, and the consumption is only a small amount of Qi.

"Rei Renka!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, smoke and dust billowed up, completely obscuring the site.

Everyone watched the scene with a mix of anticipation, shock, and worry.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, Xiao Li lay helplessly in the distance, his body convulsing uncontrollably.

After opening the five gates, a large amount of muscle was torn and organs were damaged. Being able to endure this kind of pain is already a testament to extraordinary willpower.

Gaara lay in the sand, and although he had suffered some injuries, he still retained the ability to fight.

He struggled to raise one hand, and the yellow sand surged towards Xiao Li's body like a tide.

"Kai, you're still going to make a move?"

Li Xia looked at Kai strangely, whose face was filled with extreme worry. He seemed to be covered in thorns, and it was clear that he wanted to rush out.

"No, this is Lee's battle. A ninja is someone who upholds their ninja way!"

Kai squeezed out a 'chicken soup' that he and his disciples firmly believed in, through gritted teeth.

"Back to the days!"

The wildly spinning chakra shattered the oncoming yellow sand.

Xiao Li opened his eyes wide, seemingly helpless:

Neji?

Neji helped Lee up and said coldly, "When it's time to admit defeat, admit defeat instead of being stubborn."

He said to the examiner, "I'm sorry, we admit defeat."

"In this duel, I love Luo Sheng!"

The second half of this second round of exams lasted less than half a day.

Overall, it doesn't deviate much from the plot.

Neji and Hinata have grown a lot, and no one can match Sasuke's pretentiousness. Li Xia is willing to call him the most pretentious.

Naruto's talk-no-jutsu is still sharp, yet it's hard to feel any ill will towards him.

On the way back, the kitten and Awoo kept arguing about whether the Third Hokage was a beast when it came to Naruto.

"That must be a beast."

Awoo waved its claws and spoke with absolute certainty:

"Isn't this just a hero shedding blood and tears? Think about it, the fact that Naruto has a demon fox inside him is a secret, right?"

How did this incident happen? Everyone knows the details.

Besides, did the third generation use any method to suppress comments?

No! He could absolutely do it, but he just won't.

Kuroko kept meowing, which roughly meant that Naruto's life wasn't bad and he received money every month.

After all, Kuroko comes from Monster Hunter, where monster attacks are common, so staying alive is a victory.

"Naruto deserves his money!"

Awoo said dismissively, "Putting aside everything else, what about the legacy of the Fourth Hokage and Yukikuna?"

That's an astronomical sum!

Yukikuna is the heir of the Uzumaki clan, unlike Nagato, who is a miserable old man.

Not to mention Minato Namikaze, who completed over a thousand missions and became Hokage.

The rewards for the task alone amount to tens of millions.

"Meow meow meow!" (That's all the fault of that idiot author)

"Oh? So it's just a coincidence that the heirs of the major clans in Konoha happen to be his son and daughter-in-law's disciples?"

Konohamaru is only a few years old and already has special Jonin bodyguards. Is it just a coincidence that he's destined to be the Hokage successor?

The noisy chatter between Aowu and Heitan brought a sense of energy to Li Xia, who hadn't experienced such a scene in a long time.

No matter how much the two kids bicker, it's just boredom.

He didn't care what happened to the Third Hokage or the people in the derivative world.

This is just a copy, a derivative world that can be erased and reset at any time, a toy that the hall casually created.

A playground for low-ranking apostles.

It was already approaching evening, and the lower-ranking ninjas were still receiving basic treatment or resting in the Forest of Death.

The mental stress and exhaustion from the five days of fighting are considerable, so it's unrealistic to expect them to drag their tired bodies to Konoha, dozens of kilometers away, to rest.

Similarly, the teachers in charge of the teams also stayed in the tower, as they needed to make the most of their time to discuss the third round of exams with their students.

Either comfort that broken heart and rebuild its confidence.

At this point in time, the only one leisurely making his way to Konoha is Li Xia, who is relatively free.

The evening breeze was pleasant, and the Milky Way, a dazzling spectacle, stretched across the night sky. The textures of the Hall of Light were quite well done.

Black Charcoal and Li Xia's ears twitched almost simultaneously, and their gazes froze for a moment.

Then he slightly turned his eyes and scanned his surroundings, but continued walking forward without making a sound.

Black Charcoal's serious voice came through the team channel:

"Meow!"

Li Xia also replied in the team channel:

"Hmm, there's an ambush!"

Chapter 276 The Ultimate Second-Tier Arena!

"Duo!"

A blinding flash of light illuminated the surroundings, turning everything a ghastly white.

Scott blocked some of the white light from Li Xia's eyes, but an unusual stinging and burning sensation came from her left eye.

But he completely defied his instinct to rub his eyes, and with a powerful leap, he jumped up.

He curled up in mid-air, hugging his knees and forming a ball.

A streak of dark light silently swept across his head, barely brushing against the tips of his hair.

Those strands of hair quietly withered, turning gray, and slowly spread towards the roots.

A sharp, cold light flashed, and the charcoal clinging to Li Xia's body sprang out its claws.

The three tomoe in his eyes trembled slightly, even under such high-speed movement.

She maintained precise control of her body and skillfully cut off that tuft of hair.

Its claws gripped Li Xia's shoulders firmly like iron clamps.

Amidst the aerial maneuver and its vigorous pull, it shifted slightly to the side again.

"Oh!"

The muffled gunshots echoed through the woods.

A large bullet left a visible bullet hole in the air and pierced through Li Xia's chest.

"Hit!"

A hundred meters away, the man holding the huge sniper rifle grinned.

The speed of the annihilation round is far lower than that of a conventional sniper bullet, with a speed of only 160 m/s.

It is slower than a conventional subsonic bullet.

But what is gained in exchange for speed is unparalleled power!

One shot is enough to instantly kill a regular Tier 3 Apostle, and even most Tier 3 elites.

Each shot costs 16,000 points, and every shot fired earns Hall of Fame points!

It is precisely because they are too expensive and slow that they are easy to dodge.

The sniper only uses his skills when ambushing or when he is certain of hitting the target.

"Hit? Why wasn't there a notification?"

His teammate frowned, then looked at Li Xia in mid-air, only to see 'him' disappearing into the air like a scattered reflection.

Afterimage punch!

"Grass!"

He cursed under his breath, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Because they still have teammates!

In the dense forest, a thin, short man raised his head, his gaze fixed on Li Xia, who had just appeared a few meters away.

"Kara!"

A semi-transparent chain shot out from his body, writhing like a snake as it flew towards Li Xia.

Li Xia's gaze sharpened, and he retreated again in mid-air.

The deep twang of the bowstring barely made a sound, and a dark arrow, like a ghost, blocked any retreat.

Night Silence appeared in my hand with a blindingly cold light, as if it had a spirit, spinning around in my hand before moving behind me.

He deflected the arrows in a posture similar to Su Qin carrying his sword.

A burst of lightning and dark light illuminated the dim woods once more.

The archer hiding in the distance narrowed his eyes, but silently lowered his bow and arrow, a slightly eerie smile appearing on his lips.

"Damn it, are you guys done yet? I can't hold on much longer!"

Behind the sniper, a man sat cross-legged on the ground, wearing a strange helmet on his head.
