Digestion

After resolving some lingering issues in the real world, Xu Yue returned to the Reincarnation Space at an appropriate time and began preparing to use up his remaining points.

First, the Intermediate Training Card!

Even though he had already reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, he could only use the Intermediate Training Card three times per interval, and it would directly replace the uses of the Beginner Training Card. However, the Legion had also gained one Legion Training bonus.

As China’s Second Legion, the Beiyang Army possessed considerable Legion privileges. Legion Training was equivalent to the highest-level Training Card one could use personally. This alone showed the gap between Legion members and unaffiliated Reincarnators.

The strongest opponent a Beginner Training Card could summon was only at the Chunin level, while an Intermediate Training Card could already adjust training opponents up to the Jonin level.

Although it could not let Xu Yue fight at full strength, it was more than enough for daily training, and the training efficiency had increased significantly. During training, Xu Yue used his already solid foundation in Sealing Jutsu to complete a personal improvement to the Adamantine Sealing Chains, allowing them to be used on himself.

What surprised Xu Yue somewhat was that the ever-greedy Space had only charged him one C-Rank Plot Point.

Although he had obtained the Adamantine Sealing Chains by grinding missions and putting in enough effort, this thing was far more advanced than the Rasengan. The improvement fee was so low that it almost frightened him.

He had grown too used to being squeezed dry. When the pressure suddenly lessened, he immediately felt almost flattered.

The difference from when he had improved the Rasengan was that this time it lacked the words "an existing Space skill." Was that why…

This time, it was an improvement. If he created something entirely from scratch, would there be a discount as well?

Besides spending time with the Intermediate Training Card, Xu Yue also used his only remaining S-Rank Plot to learn Summoning: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

This thing was powerful, but Xu Yue did not want to use it lightly. If the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path could not be fully controlled, it could easily drain its master’s life force in return.

If it could shorten his lifespan, that would only make things worse for him right now.

He also filled in some of the other Six Paths techniques.

He had to learn standard equipment like Black Rods. Otherwise, it would be too damn embarrassing for the Rinnegan.

Xu Yue also directly learned the Boil Release he had practically obtained for free during his hospitalization.

Perhaps because they had paid such a tremendous price, learning the ability to use Boil Release did not cost any points. But after obtaining usage rights, learning the only two Ninjutsu recorded within it required additional learning fees.

Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique

Boil Release: Monster Strength Unrivaled

After completing his learning and digestion, Xu Yue began searching the Special Auction House for other items.

Body Mastery: Mastery!

"I should deal with those Ninja Swords too. Hopefully, I can gain something else this time…"

In terms of time, mission time lasted only an instant, and the same was true for Training Card time, so not much time had passed since the Merchant Guild’s last meeting.

Although Xu Yue had plans for the Penguin Merchant Guild’s next phase, he had slowed things down and let the Koutetsujou base produce more goods for sale first.

Last time, they had sold off quite a few Omni-directional Mobility Gear orders in advance. This time, they had to pay off that debt, and it would take at least the interval of two Mission Spaces.

Xu Yue did not intend for the Penguin Merchant Guild to operate only in the Huaxia Zone. Before the other regions could react, he had to establish a foothold there first.

Thanks to the Chinese market, these distributors had quite a few resources among foreign agents, but the timing was not ideal yet…

"Look, that guy came out…"

"He’s the one who dealt with those thugs."

"That’s impressive. He only just became an official Reincarnator in the D District, right? District 13 doesn’t have any major Legion bases, does it?"

"Yeah. Someone like him should theoretically be an elite member of a major Legion. Even those guys had gone through seven missions."

"…"

The moment Xu Yue stepped out of the wooden cabin wearing Yue’s face, discussions rose from nearby.

It gave Xu Yue a slightly dazed feeling.

The strongest among them had merely been an elite Genin-level team. Was that already such an incredible achievement in the eyes of ordinary people in the D District?

Within the Legion, even newcomer elite teams participating in their first promotion had average Genin-level abilities. It seemed they truly did have reason to be proud.

Compared to the deliberately hyped-up event last time, this Special Auction House was clearly much smaller in scale.

Xu Yue also successfully purchased the learning scroll for Body Mastery: Mastery.

It cost him two A-Rank Missions!

Still, all things considered, it was quite a bargain. In theory, Advanced Body Mastery alone could reach the level of a Special Jonin. It was fully a Jonin-level skill.

As for Body Mastery at Mastery level, one likely would not need any other abilities to reach the elite Jonin level.

When Might Guy first appeared in the plot, he was theoretically at this stage!

He should barely have been approaching the S-Rank threshold. If not for the extremely powerful side effects, there was no way it could have been obtained for only two A-Ranks.

It would likely require completing a series of extremely difficult missions involving the adult Might Guy to acquire it.

As for killing Might Guy to make it drop, Xu Yue figured that unless he took advantage of Might Guy’s simple-minded personality and successfully ambushed him, otherwise…

Just imagining that scene was beautiful…

Xu Yue also sold the other four Ninja Swords he did not use.

Aside from Shibuki, which sold for two A-Ranks, the other three each sold for one A-Rank!

That surprised Xu Yue slightly. After all, these were equipment items. Were special equipment items really that scarce in the Space?

Or did people want to buy them to complete special missions in the Naruto World?

Xu Yue did not care much about that. Perhaps he could truly trade these items for something better, but clearly, given his understanding of intelligence channels, he could obtain even better things by investing that effort elsewhere!

He might as well make some easy money.

The other thing Xu Yue wanted to buy at this auction house was an item that could help him align himself with his next mission.

Although he did not know whether things would go as smoothly as he understood them to.

If he did not try,

how would he know…

A piece of Apostle flesh retaining its vitality. Effect unknown. Extremely difficult to obtain. Price: one B-Rank Plot Point…

"So there really are traces of soul factors…"

Having learned the Rinnegan-exclusive Soul Devouring from Six Paths Techniques: Secrets, Xu Yue separated the few lingering soul fragments within the purchased flesh, then sealed them inside the Tsukuyomi space, which was entirely controlled by his mind!

Afterward, he used Earth Grudge Fear to draw the flesh into it, absorbing the unique "life force" within the flesh until it turned to powder.

For someone possessing a Sage Body at Mastery level, this anomaly was directly and completely digested and assimilated by the Sage Body.

"With a Reincarnator’s abilities, Adam is definitely impossible to obtain. This is most likely from the Water Angel. Still, that’s good—it shouldn’t have any effect on me. Hopefully, my idea isn’t wrong…"

Xu Yue spent nearly half a month specifically sealing and extracting it. He hoped his efforts had not been wasted…
