Chapter 349: Opportunity for breakthrough

In various senses, Bai Mingyu's current strength has reached a bottleneck period.

His main fighting methods are the Ice Escape created by the Demonic Essence, and the Speed ​​Mode derived from the Misaka Clan's Thunder Escape Secret Scroll.

In addition, there is the training of ninjutsu and swordsmanship.

so far,

The potential of the devil's essence has not been fully developed by Bai Mingyu.

His ability to control ice is certainly not weak, but so far, it has not reached the level of being on par with Esdeath, the previous owner of Demonic Essence. Compared with the latter, the scale and power of creating ice cubes are somewhat limited. gap. Moreover, the peak ability of the Devil's Essence is definitely not "Mokobotemo". At least in the hands of the original owner Esdeath, he also developed the "Binglan General" move.

However, at least for now, Bai Mingyu's development of Demonic Essence has reached a certain level.

If you want to go deeper, the difficulty will increase geometrically.

The same goes for Speed ​​Mode.

Bai Mingyu's original idea was to use Thunder Chakra to stimulate cells and transform the physique from within the body, thereby breaking through the boundaries of human mobility and increasing mobility and reaction speed to non-human levels. But it's not that difficult to do this.

After all, the human body is not made of plasticine. Even a slight modification or a slight carelessness will cause great damage to the muscles.

Moreover, although Bai Mingyu's chakra control is good, it is not refined enough to do whatever he wants.

So

With his current strength, he would have no problem facing an average shadow-level powerhouse, but if he encountered a powerful shadow-level powerhouse like Pain's Six Paths or Jiraiya in Sage Mode, the outcome would be hard to say.

There are several ways to break through this bottleneck.

The first thing Bai Mingyu thought of was immortality.

No matter where the immortal arts are in the three major immortal lands, they all have very powerful power. In the immortal mode, the individual's strength, speed, and the power of ninjutsu will be greatly enhanced by several times or even dozens of times. , the few people who mastered the magic of immortality in the original work all proved this.

Take Mt. Myoboku's senjutsu as an example. Although Jiraiya in his normal state is already a very strong Kage-level ninja, there is still a big gap between him and Pain's Six Paths.

However, once it enters immortal mode, it can pose a direct threat to the latter.

Even if he had known information about Nagato in advance, Jiraiya might not have been defeated by Pain's Six Paths.

However, although the power of immortal magic is powerful, it is also very difficult to obtain.

Not to mention the celestial arts in Ryūchi Cave, the threshold is ridiculously high. Even a genius like Orochimaru, who is said to appear only every few decades, is despised and rejected by the White Snake Sage due to lack of qualifications. As for Mt. Miaomu and the Shiggou Forest, it is possible to access it through Jiraiya and Tsunade, but once it involves the super-standard power of senjutsu, no matter which one of these two people, it is impossible to easily teach him.

Moreover, the magic of immortality is not so easy to learn.

Even with Namikaze Minato's talent and qualifications, he was unable to learn the complete Sage Mode.

As for the spiritual power of the miko lineage

Although the witch gave Bai Mingyu the bell that sealed part of the spiritual power, using this thing to realize the natural energy on his own did not happen overnight.

However, the appearance of the Thunder Fruit provided Bai Mingyu with another possibility.

The power of this fruit is unquestionable.

It can be said that as long as it is a natural devil fruit, almost every one contains huge potential. Eniro, the original owner of the Thunder Fruit, once developed this fruit to a considerable extent, thus improving his combat effectiveness. To an astonishing level, if it weren't for the natural conflict with the rubber fruit, it would be almost invincible.

In a sense, it is no less than the essence of devil, and even worse.

Moreover, it matches Bai Mingyu's chakra attributes very well.

With the help of this thing, the development of the second stage of the speed mode should become extremely smooth, and it can even be advanced to the further stage of the third stage.

The only flaw is the fear of water and the two weaknesses of the Sea Tower Stone, but for Bai Mingyu, they can be overcome. The only Sea Tower Stone in the Naruto world is in his own hands. As for the Water Ninja, he can He treads water by covering his feet with chakra, and Bai Mingyu, who possesses the essence of the devil, can control the water to freeze at will. As long as he is careful, there will be no problem in most cases.

Thinking of this, Bai Mingyu made up his mind.

He picked up the Thunder Fruit in his hand and bit into it.

then

"vomit"

The taste in his mouth made Bai Mingyu almost spit out the fruit pulp in his mouth.

"This thing is simply unpalatable to a certain extent."

According to the precedent in the world of pirates, most Devil Fruit users are not complimentary of the taste of the fruit. It is said to taste like shi. Although Bai Mingyu doesn't know what the person who said this has experienced, but from From his first impression, the taste of Devil Fruit was indeed difficult to swallow.

Almost resisting the urge to vomit, I slowly ate the thunderous fruit.

Logically speaking, just taking the first bite of a Devil Fruit is enough.

However, Bai Mingyu was not sure whether there would be any difference in the abilities gained from taking one bite or eating the whole thing, so he simply ate them all. After swallowing the last mouthful, he immediately took out a few bottles of water from his backpack and drank a few sips. After rinsing my mouth and spitting it out, I felt that the taste in my mouth had become lighter.

But it still exists.

Bai Mingyu estimates that he may not be able to eat all day tomorrow.

The treasure chest has been obtained, and it is already getting late.

Bai Mingyu was not interested in staying here any longer, so he started to rush back. On the way back, he carefully tried the ability of the Thunder Fruit.

The most notable feature of the natural devil fruit is that it can elementalize the body, thereby making it immune to most physical attacks. Bai Mingyu had just eaten the Thunder Fruit, and had not had time to explore other abilities. However, the ability to elementalize was accompanied by the fruit itself, and it quietly took effect from the moment he ate it.

As Bai Mingyu thought, he saw his right hand becoming blurry and transparent.

A layer of light blue thunder arcs pulsed, as if passing through a thin layer of gauze on the skin.

It looks a bit similar to the divine speed mode under the Thunder Escape Body Training Technique.

however

Bai Mingyu casually held a kunai and stabbed it. The tip of the blade passed by and penetrated directly through the arm. It did not cause any damage. Instead, a lightning arc hit the kunai and left a mark on the hard iron. There was a shallow white mark.

"This ability feels a bit like Obito's divine power."
