"Li Chuan, you have now mastered the ninjutsu. I will teach you the new ninjutsu slowly. From today on, we will start practicing actual combat.
As a ninja, ninjutsu, taijutsu and illusion are just means of fighting. The ultimate goal of learning these is to defeat the opponent.
Therefore, learning to fight is the most important thing."
After testing Li Chuan's three-body technique, Dilu took him to the training ground of the Fire Temple.
In fact, Di Lu did not teach Li Chuan about actual combat. If the noble prince was injured, the Temple of Fire would be in trouble.
Teaching some fancy ninjutsu to make the prince happy is the safest way.
But now that his mind has changed, actual combat training is naturally indispensable.
At this time, the ninja monks of the Fire Temple were conducting daily physical training on the training ground. With the blessing of the immortal talents within them, their level of performance was not low.
Chakra can activate cells and improve body functions, especially the thunder attribute chakra, the effect is particularly obvious.
The immortal talents of the Fire Temple also have certain advantages in this aspect, so most of the ninja monks of the Fire Temple focus on physical combat.
Of course, part of the reason is that unlike Konoha, the Fire Temple has so many ninjutsu for the ninja monks to learn.
"Chuan, have you learned basic fighting skills before?"
Di Lu took Li Chuan to the corner of the training ground and asked.
Although most nobles will not learn ninjutsu, they will learn some simple fighting skills since childhood, the most common of which are swordsmanship and swordsmanship.
Before the actual battle, he also needed to understand what level Li Chuan was at so that he could formulate a subsequent training plan for him.
"Master, I have learned some and often practice at home."
Li Chuan smiled slightly. Although his words were very modest, the confidence in his tone still made Dilu notice it.
"Kukai, come here!"
After thinking for a moment, Dilu turned around and called over a young monk who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.
"This is Kukai. He has the strength of a genin. You can compete with him."
After speaking, he told Hai:
"Kukai, don't use ninjutsu, don't use chakra, be careful."
He just wanted to have a rough look at Li Chuan's fighting level. If Kukai used chakra and ninjutsu, he was afraid that Li Chuan wouldn't be able to catch a single move, which would greatly damage his self-confidence.
Kukai made a Buddhist salute to Jilu:
"Understood, Abbot."
The other party was the prince of the Fire Country, so even if he had some courage, he wouldn't dare to really hurt him.
However, being able to beat up a noble prince would be something worth showing off in the future.
Li Chuan's identity as the Prince of the Country of Fire is known to all the Ninja monks in the temple. However, due to Li Chuan's noble status and usually practicing hard in the training room behind closed doors, no one has said a few words to him.
But in their hearts, they thought the same as Di Lu at first, thinking that the prince was just here for fun.
The older Ninja monks are fine, but the younger ones like Kukai will inevitably feel a little more jealous.
The abbot personally guides the practice, which was only available in the Temple of Fire before.
Seeing that Kukai was about to compete with Li Chuan, the Ninja monks who had been paying attention here all stopped their training and gathered around with expressions of gloating.
Jilu didn't say anything when he saw this, he just asked everyone to make room in the middle for Li Chuan and Kukai.
Although he told Kukai not to be harsh, it was also a good thing to make Li Chuan realize his shortcomings and encourage Li Chuan to continue working hard.
This is how it is when guiding disciples to practice. You can't put too much pressure on them, but you can't give them no pressure at all either. You have to grasp the right balance.
"Senior Brother Kukai, please give me some advice."
Standing in the middle of the training ground, Li Chuan had a rare look of excitement on his face.
He also wanted to see what kind of strength a genin-level ninja was, and what level he, a dark power master, could be in this world.
"Junior Brother Li Chuan, you're welcome, I'm going to take action."
After giving a reminder, Kukai made an offensive gesture, and in a flash, he quickly rushed towards where Li Chuan was.
Facing Kukai's rapid approach and his raised fist aimed at his abdomen, Li Chuan frowned slightly, then relaxed.
"Yes, this is not Konoha after all. How can the strength of genin be compared with Sasuke and Naruto, let alone without using chakra bonus."
Yes, in his eyes, this young ninja monk named Kukai really had flaws everywhere at this time, and his movement and punching speed were much slower than he expected.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Li Chuan looked more like he was frightened. Only Di Lu seemed to notice something from Li Chuan's expression.
"Offended junior brother!"
Seeing Li Chuan dumbfounded on the spot, Kukai did not stop. His fist continued to hit Li Chuan's abdomen, but he only withdrew his force slightly.
However, the expected scene of Li Chuan being hit and kneeling down, holding his stomach, did not appear. Instead, his hands were empty, and Li Chuan's figure actually disappeared before his eyes.
"Substitute technique?"
Kukai's first reaction was that Li Chuan used the Substitute Technique to dodge the attack, which is a ninjutsu commonly used by ninjas in battle.
But he soon realized something was wrong, because there was no substitute object in front of him, but Li Chuan's faint voice came from behind his ears.
"Brother Kukai, you can use both ninjutsu and chakra, otherwise you are no match for me."
It turned out that just when Kukai leaned over to punch Li Chuan, Li Chuan jumped sideways, his toes touched the ground like a swallow flying through the water, and he had already moved behind Kukai.
If he had fought back at this time, Kukai would have fallen to the ground.
"impossible!"
Hearing Li Chuan's voice, Kukai's pupils suddenly shrank, and he turned around and immediately launched a whip kick.
Unfortunately, Li Chuan easily dodged it again.
He entered the temple at the age of nine and trained hard for seven years to become a genin. He did not believe that his fighting skills were not as good as a pampered prince.
Pumping his fists and kicking his feet, Kukai continued to launch a violent storm of attacks towards Li Chuan without using chakra.
At this time, in the eyes of everyone, Li Chuan seemed to have turned into a swallow. He was light and agile. No matter how Kukai attacked, he could easily dodge using various incredible angles.
With the continuous fierce attacks, Kukai had begun to pant, but Li Chuan remained calm and composed, as if he was taking a walk.
"Kukai, use all your strength!"
Di Lu, who had been standing nearby and observing, was now gleaming. He never expected that Li Chuan had such superb fighting skills.
Is Kukai weak?
At least he is not weak among the genin of the Fire Temple, but now he can't even touch the hem of Li Chuan's clothes in the battle, and his fighting level is not at the same level at all.
It is true that Kukai did not use chakra or ninjutsu, but Li Chuan also did not use ninjutsu and chakra.
