CHAPTER 105
In the clearing at the edge of the camp, Hyuga Yukian's guidance was simple and direct.
He did not demonstrate Rotation himself.
Doing so would place far too great a burden on his current body.
Instead, he simply explained the essence of Rotation in the most straightforward way possible.
"Release Chakra simultaneously and steadily from all major tenketsu throughout the body, then combine it with high-speed rotational Taijutsu."
"This creates a defense with no blind spots around the body."
"That is the core concept of Rotation."
"The key lies in the entire body and in rotation."
Hyuga Yukian's remaining white eye remained fixed on Guy.
"Your nunchaku naturally possesses the characteristics of rotation and all-directional coverage."
"What you need to do is coordinate the flow of Chakra, the rotational axis of your body, and the trajectory of the weapon."
"It isn't merely swinging the weapon wildly."
"Every swing must become part of your defensive perimeter."
"Offense becomes defense, and defense contains offense."
Guy listened with absolute focus.
Every word was engraved deeply into his memory.
His understanding of Taijutsu and force generation had already surpassed that of most ordinary shinobi.
Hyuga Yukian's guidance was like lighting a lamp in darkness.
A clear path instantly appeared before him.
"I understand, Captain!"
A sharp light flashed in Guy's eyes.
He had already grasped the general direction.
Without hesitation, he stepped into the center of the clearing and removed the dark-gold nunchaku from his waist.
Taking a deep breath, he recalled Hyuga Yukian's words.
The Muscle-Tendon Change Classic within his body began circulating slowly.
Following this new line of thought, Chakra started flowing throughout his body.
At first, the movements were somewhat stiff.
The rhythm of his body's rotation and the movement of the nunchaku were not perfectly synchronized.
However, Guy's Taijutsu foundation was exceptionally solid.
His mastery over the nunchaku had long reached the realm where it felt like an extension of his own arm.
After only a few attempts, he quickly adjusted.
The sound of wind being sliced apart gradually echoed through the clearing.
Guy's body slowly began rotating in place.
The speed increased little by little.
The nunchaku in his hands no longer functioned as mere offensive weapons.
As his body rotated, the dark-gold shadows of the sticks traced layer upon layer of intersecting arcs.
These arcs were not chaotic.
Instead, they gradually formed a circle centered around his body.
A constantly rotating defensive sphere.
The stick shadows became denser and denser.
The sound of breaking wind merged into a single continuous roar.
Guy became completely immersed in this new realization.
Then he discovered something surprising.
As he attempted to imitate the concepts of full-body force generation and rotational defense found within Rotation, the Chakra flowing through his body produced an unexpected sense of familiarity.
That familiarity came from...
The Golden Bell Shield.
"Golden Bell Shield?!"
Guy's heart jolted.
The cultivation method of the Golden Bell Shield involved guiding energy throughout the body's surface to create defense through endurance and reinforcement.
Its core concept was also the mobilization of the entire body to protect every direction.
The difference was that the Golden Bell Shield emphasized enduring attacks and defensive coverage through True Qi-like energy.
Meanwhile, Rotation emphasized rotational force and Chakra release to form a defensive barrier.
Yet the source of their power and their defensive philosophies were strangely similar.
Both used the entire body to establish a defense without blind spots.
"So that's it..."
"The shield of the Golden Bell Shield... and the wall of Rotation..."
A wave of enlightenment surged through his mind.
Guy stopped consciously separating the two concepts.
Instead, he naturally began fusing them together.
He activated the Golden Bell Shield.
Chakra flowed across the surface of his body.
At the same time, he followed the rotational principles and full-body force generation concepts of Rotation.
The Chakra covering his body began flowing together with the rotation.
Hum!
At the moment the two concepts reached harmony...
The proficiency of the Golden Bell Shield, which had remained stuck at Mastery Level with 999 points for a long time...
Suddenly broke through.
[Congratulations, Host! Low Grade Supreme Technique: Golden Bell Shield has reached the Perfection Realm!]
A golden radiance far more solid and profound than before suddenly erupted around Guy.
This golden light was no longer a faint layer covering his skin.
Instead, it condensed into a clearly visible, semi-transparent ancient golden bell phantom.
The enormous bell completely enveloped Guy.
Ancient Sanskrit characters faintly flowed across its surface.
It emitted a heavy and indestructible aura.
"What?!"
Hyuga Yukian's remaining eye widened.
For the first time, genuine astonishment appeared on his normally calm face.
He stared at the golden bell surrounding Guy.
Feeling the powerful defensive fluctuations emanating from it, he subconsciously swallowed.
"This... what kind of Ninjutsu is this?"
Ebisu and Genma were equally stunned.
Their mouths hung open.
Even as spectators, they could clearly feel the astonishing defensive power contained within the golden bell phantom.
This was definitely no ordinary Chakra barrier.
Guy slowly stopped rotating.
The golden bell phantom gradually faded and returned to his body.
Scratching his head awkwardly, he grinned at the three shocked spectators.
"This... is a defensive technique I happened to comprehend during a moment of inspiration."
"Maybe Captain's explanation just now gave me some ideas."
"A moment of inspiration?"
The corner of Hyuga Yukian's mouth twitched.
He stared deeply at Guy.
The shock in his eye slowly transformed into something indescribably complicated.
Everything he had explained was merely a concept.
He had not even provided specific Chakra circulation routes.
Yet this boy had not only understood it in such a short time...
He had actually used it as an opportunity to comprehend a completely new and highly practical defensive technique.
This was no longer merely talent in Taijutsu.
This was simply...
"A monster."
Those two words perfectly reflected Hyuga Yukian's current thoughts.
Such monstrous comprehension.
Such monstrous creativity.
Guy's potential far exceeded anything he had imagined before.
However, Guy himself knew the truth.
The golden bell phantom was not a newly created technique.
It was simply the ultimate manifestation of the Golden Bell Shield after reaching Perfection.
Golden Bell Body Protection.
Much like the ultimate profound truth he had obtained after the Mercy Blade reached Perfection.
Both represented the peak state of their respective techniques.
The difference was that Buddha's Mercy projected a golden Buddha to protect others.
Golden Bell Body Protection condensed a golden bell to protect oneself.
But Guy's thoughts did not stop there.
His eyes became increasingly fervent.
Golden Bell Body Protection represented static and passive absolute defense.
Rotation represented dynamic and active rotational defense.
And the nunchaku...
The nunchaku were the perfect medium to combine offense and defense into one.
"What if..."
"I combine all three?"
Not merely activating Golden Bell Shield and standing still to absorb attacks.
Not merely swinging the nunchaku to form a defensive circle.
But using the rotational force principles of Rotation as the core.
Then pouring the absolute defensive power of Golden Bell Body Protection into the high-speed defensive field formed by the nunchaku.
The result would no longer be simple defense.
It would become a high-speed rotating domain that combined offense and defense.
An absolute defense with offensive properties.
A Golden Storm.
Golden Bell Shield.
Rotation.
Nunchaku.
This definitely has potential.
Guy's heart began pounding rapidly.
He couldn't wait to start experimenting.
Hyuga Yukian remained there for some time.
Watching Guy's techniques become increasingly refined.
Eventually, he sighed emotionally and silently returned toward the medical ward.
Ebisu and Genma were left completely dazzled.
At the same time, they felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Guy's rate of comprehension and innovation had already surpassed their understanding.
The two exchanged glances.
Then secretly huddled together and whispered about something.
After a while, Ebisu stepped forward and shouted toward Guy, who remained completely immersed in his training.
"Guy! Genma and I have something to take care of! We're leaving first! Come back when you're done training!"
"Oh! Got it!"
Guy answered without even turning around.
Every ounce of his attention remained focused on the fusion of the three concepts.
Only after the sound of their footsteps completely faded away did Guy finally stop.
The fusion was much harder than he had imagined.
It was not something that could be completed overnight.
It would require countless attempts and adjustments.
Yet he felt no discouragement.
On the contrary, he was filled with excitement.
Only then did he remember another notification from the System when the Golden Bell Shield had broken through.
With a thought, he opened the System panel.
Sure enough.
Below the notification announcing the Golden Bell Shield's advancement to Perfection was another message.
[Obtained Random Martial Skill Gift Pack]
[Open it?]
"Open."
Guy answered without hesitation.
A golden light flashed through his consciousness.
A new ancient secret manual appeared before him.
Five bold and powerful characters were written across its cover.
[Low Grade Supreme Technique: Great Strength Vajra Palm]
Guy blinked.
Then a smile spread across his face.
"Great Strength Vajra Palm?"
"Nice!"
"It perfectly completes the set with my Great Vajra Finger and Great Vajra Leg!"
Although it was another Low Grade Supreme Technique, Guy did not mind at all.
Whether it was the Great Vajra Finger, Great Vajra Leg, or the newly obtained Great Strength Vajra Palm...
All of them were foundational Supreme Techniques.
Cultivation was never accomplished overnight.
Only by thoroughly mastering these fundamentals could he fully unleash the potential of stronger techniques in the future.
Besides, even Low Grade Supreme Techniques could display astonishing power in his hands.
Guy closed the System panel.
His gaze fell once more upon the nunchaku in his hand.
Battle intent burned brightly in his eyes.
The Golden Bell Shield had reached Perfection.
A new Supreme Technique had been obtained.
And the concept of combining Rotation, Golden Bell Shield, and the nunchaku was rapidly taking root and growing within his mind.
His next training objective had never been clearer.
