Chapter 359 The Road to Trial

"This is"

Bai Mingyu paused.

He looked up at the blue tiger.

Skeletons are very common in the ninja world, and it's not like he has never seen them before, but when they appear at the foot of Mount Sekilei, it seems a bit intriguing. Judging from the size and length of the bones, they are clearly human bones.

""

The blue tiger said nothing.

Next to him, Quan silently opened his Sharingan, looked at the skeletons for a moment, gently tugged on Bai Mingyu's sleeve, and whispered: "Baiyu-kun, these bones seem to be many years old."

"Um"

Bai Mingyu was startled for a moment, took a few steps forward, lowered his head and looked carefully.

Just like Quan said, these skeletons have been dead for some years, and the flesh and blood have almost rotted away. Only some tattered clothes are left to cover the body. From the appearance of the clothes, the owner of the corpse seems to be a ninja from the Warring States period. There were black marks on the head and chest ribs that looked like they had been burned by lightning.

These people were all struck to death by lightning

Is it

With a thought in his mind, Bai Mingyu suddenly raised his head and looked at the dark thundercloud in the sky.

It was only then that the voice of the blue tiger came from behind: "The top of this stone tablet is the trial road of Jilei Mountain."

"The Road of Trials"

"Many, many years ago, when our Thunder Tiger clan was still very prosperous, there were many humans who wanted to sign psychic contracts with our clan. Therefore, the old clan leader at that time set this rule. Only those who passed this test Only those humans who reach the top of the mountain on the road of refining are recognized by our clan and are qualified to become contractors of the Thunder Tiger clan.

Although the conditions are very harsh, there are still many humans who have tried. Among them, only a handful of people successfully passed the trial, while the vast majority of the remaining people failed halfway and ended up failing. , was split into pieces by lightning falling from the sky. "

The blue tiger lowered its head and stared at Bai Mingyu with its big copper eyes:

"And you are the only exception. After the Misaka clan was destroyed, I was the last psychic beast left in the ninja world. If no new contractor appears, the connection between the Thunder Tiger clan and the ninja continent will be completely severed. For To avoid this situation, I made an exception and signed a psychic contract with you.

but"

"Rules cannot be abolished casually. Since we have made an exception once, then this time, if you want to learn the immortal arts of my Thunder Tiger clan, you must pass this trial road. Otherwise, I will not use the immortal arts The inheritance is handed over to you."

"Is that so?"

Bai Mingyu pursed his lips and his expression darkened.

In fact, before the Blue Tiger finished speaking, he already had some premonitions, and this premonition was indeed fulfilled.

indeed.

Immortal magic can be said to be the most important inheritance for a psychic beast race, even more important than the psychic contract itself. Bai Mingyu's ability to become a contractor of the Thunder Tiger clan has a certain accidental component. If it continues It is too easy to obtain the inheritance of immortal skills casually.

but

Passing the road of trials is no easy task.

Just looking at the layers of corpses piled up on this mountain road, you can tell how dangerous it is. Those who can successfully reach the top of the mountain are definitely one in a million.

"If you take this trial path, you can use ninjutsu to resist on the way." Bai Mingyu raised his head and asked.

"of course."

The blue tiger nodded his head: "As long as you can reach the top of the mountain, you can use any method, but I advise you not to take chances. The lethality of these thunder and lightning falling from the sky is not that of humans. Those in the world who are comparable in thunder escape ninjutsu will end up being shattered into pieces if they are not careful."

Bai Mingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, making secret calculations in his heart.

Although the power of these thunders is extremely shocking, if you use ice escape to block them a few times, it should be no problem.

Or use Mokobotemo to freeze time and space, and take advantage of the opportunity to fly up the mountain in one go. This is also a way.

However, the height of this mountain is several thousand meters.

Even if you use Mokobotemo, if you want to reach the top of the mountain in just ten seconds, there is not enough time.

and,

Strictly speaking, this method is opportunistic. Even if it actually reaches the mountain, it is not certain whether the blue tiger will recognize it or not.

Then

What if we use the elementalization ability of the thunder fruit?

The elemental ability of the natural devil fruit can make it immune to almost all physical attacks. However, these lightning strikes are not ninjutsu released through chakra, but come from the power of nature, which contains abundant natural energy. In this way, Whether the elementalization ability will work is unknown.

Bai Mingyu's hesitation was noticed by the blue tiger, who whispered: "You can try it first, but I don't recommend that you go on the trial road now. The closer Jilei Mountain is to the top of the mountain, the more it appears. The thunderstorms are getting denser, and at the foot of the mountain, only a few thunderbolts occasionally fall here. You can practice here first, and then go mountain climbing after your attainments in lightning escape are high enough."

While he was talking, several more bolts of lightning escaped from the thundercloud.

One of them cut through the air and slashed towards the forest.

With a thought in his mind, Bai Mingyu suddenly activated the power of the thunder fruit, exploding a ball of light blue lightning on his body, and then took the initiative to rush towards the thunder and lightning.

boom

The thunder landed so fast. In an instant, it fell with an astonishing momentum and hit Bai Mingyu hard. In the dazzling light, Bai Mingyu's figure was seen shaking, like a kite with a broken string. It flew out, hit a big tree in the sky, made a loud bang, and then fell towards the ground.

"Mr. Bai Yu"

Quan exclaimed and ran over quickly.

On the other side, Bai Mingyu turned over and stood up. The lightning that bathed his whole body dissipated, and a few faint black marks appeared on his face and clothes.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Bai Mingyu smiled at Quan, raised his head, and looked at the dense thunderclouds in the sky.

The power of these thunders was stronger than he expected. Although the elemental ability of the thunder fruit reduced a large part of the power, the remaining small part actually fell on the body. Bai Mingyu now fused with the devil The physiques of the Essence and Thunder Fruit can barely bear it, but there is a slight feeling of tightness in the chest, as if someone has hit it with a hammer.

"As expected, you still can't resist?"

The thunder that fell in this forest was just a corner that escaped from the thunder cloud, so it was no problem to bear it forcefully.

But those lightning strikes near the top of Jilei Mountain may be that easy to deal with. The immortal arts of the Thunder Tiger clan are probably also related to the natural energy contained in these thunder and lightning. If you cannot successfully pass this trial road, even if you get the scroll of the immortal arts of the Thunder Tiger clan, you may not be able to do it during the training process. You will encounter all kinds of unexpected difficulties.

Thinking of this, Bai Mingyu temporarily suppressed his impetuous thoughts.

The practice of immortality is definitely not something that happens overnight.

Except for Naruto, who possesses the protagonist's halo and the power of Yang, who was able to learn the Sage Mode in just one month, everyone else who mastered the Sage Technique spent at least a year and a half, or even longer. Bai Mingyu doesn't think he will be an exception.
