Far away from the village, in a field specially used for combat training, Lu Ming and Xi Yan looked at each other from a distance.

Ace, Ningji and others sat around on the tallest tree nearby, talking and laughing, only holding a handful of melon seeds in their hands.

"Use all your strength, don't let go." Lu Ming was not affected by Ace and others, and shouted seriously, heralding the beginning of the battle.

Ace and others immediately stopped talking, sat up straight, and stared at the center of the field without blinking, for fear of missing a detail.

Lu Ming and Xi Yan are very familiar with each other. Xi Yan knows that fire, wind and other offensive ninjutsu are ineffective against Lu Ming, so he directly uses water escape water dragon bullets.

A huge water dragon condensed in front of Xi Yan, roaring and rushing towards Lu Ming.

However, the water dragon bullet's seal is too complicated.

Taking advantage of Xi Yan's seal, Lu Ming had already thought of a countermeasure.

With a bang, the water dragon swallowed Lu Ming. It was indeed a substitute technique.

However, Xiyan didn't expect a water dragon bullet to accomplish anything. She used this move to narrow down Lu Ming's range of movement.

For better training, the land in this area was specially compacted by Lu Ming and others. At this time, the water left by the water dragon bombs did not seep directly, but formed patches of water beach on the ground.

As a user with fruit abilities, Lu Ming is restrained by sea water, and will be affected to some extent if immersed in ordinary water.

During the battle, Lu Ming had to pay attention to the water beach at his feet.

Fortunately, Xi Yan was not the second generation, otherwise Lu Ming would have knelt down when a water escape turned the entire place into a small lake.

After compressing Lu Ming's hiding space, Xi Yan rushed straight towards Lu Ming, trying to force Lu Ming into close combat.

Xi Yan was best at close combat with swordsmanship. Lu Ming's arms turned into muskets and cannons, and he blasted Xi Yan fiercely. With the firepower to suppress it, he kited Xi Yan.

The training ground was suddenly filled with smoke.

Lu Ming only consumed a little physical energy and ammunition, but Xi Yan, who kept dodging, consumed a lot of physical energy and chakra.

After Xi Yan understood Lu Ming's tactics, she immediately straightened her arms and quickly waved her long sword, using the blade to form an airtight wall of swords in front of her. The shadow of the sword was like the shadow of the full moon.

The long knife was like a propeller rotating at high speed, deflecting all the bullets in front of him.

Xi Yan rushed directly towards Lu Ming. Lu Ming's space for movement was compressed, and the distance between the two people shortened rapidly.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming simply stopped dodging, retracted his gun status, danced his hands, and quickly formed seals.

Xi Yan glanced at it, it was the art of multiple shadow clones.

Sure enough, there was a bang next to Lu Ming, and a burst of white smoke appeared on both sides, and two more shadow clones appeared.

The appearance and even the voice of the three people were exactly the same. Ace was stunned for a moment. He suddenly stood up from the branch, grabbed Iruka's arm and asked awkwardly:

"This, is this also a fruit ability? No, a person can only eat one fruit. This is definitely not a fruit. So what kind of ability is it? A blinding trick?"

Because of his surprise, Ace kept mumbling with his mouth like a machine gun, not allowing Iruka to interrupt.

Ace finally stopped, and Iruka was about to explain.

Lu Ming on both sides moved at the same time, and they each sprayed a fireball towards the Lu Ming seal in the middle.

Like Lu Ming, he could breathe fire, so this was definitely not a trick. Ace no longer asked questions, but sat down honestly and continued to observe, for fear of missing any detail.

Xi Yan instantly realized that this was a combined ninjutsu, fire escape and vacuum Daiyuyaki.

Seeing that Lu Ming was unable to attack before Lu Ming released his ninjutsu, Xi Yan had no choice but to retreat and suddenly pull away, using Earth Release Earth Wall Flow to summon three thick earth walls in front of her, each of which was half a meter long. Thick, fast-moving trucks may not be able to directly hit it.

However, Lu Ming sprayed dozens of cyclones mixed with flame attributes from his mouth and blasted towards Xiyan like a cluster of artillery shells, with continuous fire.

Not to mention the three earthen walls, Xiyan's original position suddenly became a vacuum. The water on the ground was evaporated by the flames and turned into mist. The trees exploded into sawdust mixed with leaves and mud flew all over the sky. The earth was so scorched that you could see it being chipped away. Three inches.

Where has Xi Yan gone?

The view was blocked by three earthen walls and filled with smoke, dust and mist, so no one could find Xi Yan at all.

Lu Ming also didn't know, but this didn't stop Lu Ming from taking action.

Lu Ming knew that this attack could not hurt Xi Yan at all, and he used the skill just to force Xi Yan away.

After releasing the ninjutsu, the three Lu Ming ran towards three different directions at the same time without looking at each other. The three of them stood vaguely in the shape of an equilateral triangle.

Everyone's arms changed shape and turned into guns and guns on guard.

Which one is the body?

Lu Ming took advantage of Xi Yan's lack of vision when she was avoiding him, and changed the positions of his body and clones to confuse Xi Yan.

If you attack at will, you only have a one-third chance of getting it right, but if you don't attack, the distance between the three of you will only get farther and farther, and Xiyan's situation will be even worse by then.

Just when everyone was wondering where Xi Yan would appear and which of the three Lu Ming would attack.

Neji suddenly opened his Byakugan, staring at the center of the three people.

Suddenly, a big lump of earth suddenly bulged there, and Xiyan jumped out of the ground and jumped in mid-air.

Just a soft moan was heard, like a sword being unsheathed.

Everyone felt their eyes light up, and Xi Yan in mid-air split into three, rushing towards the same Lu Ming at the same time.

Xi Yan approached instantly, and three long knives were placed on Lu Ming's neck at the same time. Xi Yan did not continue to attack.

Under normal circumstances, the dance of the three suns and moons is to separate the shadow clones to observe from three different angles, find the most suitable position to take action to complete the one-hit kill on the target.

Xi Yan did not continue because she was extremely sure that the person in front of her was Lu Ming.

With the knife on his neck, Lu Ming asked without any panic:

"How are you sure I'm real?"

"As soon as the battle begins, I will secretly create a shadow clone and hide it in the tree to observe your every move. This way when the explosion occurs, I will lose my vision underground and can also see your every move through the shadow clone."

After saying that, Xi Yan put down the long knife with a proud look on her face and signaled Lu Ming to lift his shadow clone and admit defeat.

Everyone looked at Xi Yan with admiration and completely agreed with Xi Yan's view. They felt that Lu Ming had lost. They even jumped down from the tree to leave.

Ace recalled the intelligence war that Lu Ming talked about last night and nodded thoughtfully.

But Lu Ming did not release the shadow clone. He nodded at Xi Yan first and then shook his head:

"You guessed it right, I am the real body, but you lost."

"?"

Xi Yan was stunned for a moment, thinking that she heard wrongly. The hand holding the long knife froze in mid-air, and she looked at Lu Ming quietly without saying a word, as if to say:

Are you sure, if I continued just now, I would definitely stab you in the body.

Lu Ming didn't answer, but pushed Xi Yan hard.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming became so angry that he suddenly pushed himself. Xiyan was so shocked that she even forgot to dodge, and took several steps back to stabilize herself.

The two distanced themselves, and Lu Ming slowly asked:

"Have you never thought that I deliberately let you know where I am?"

bang bang bang~

Following Lu Ming's question, the two shadow clones raised their arms and bullets poured out like a torrential rain, leaving Lu Ming's body riddled with holes like a sieve.

However, due to Lu Ming's elementalization, the bullet was like passing through a ball of flames. There was no blood and flesh splashing at the wound, but instead there were small flames, and he quickly recovered as before.

After a round of output, the two shadow clones were released.

Everyone fell silent, confused by Lu Ming's series of operations. Only Ace was the first to react, his eyes lit up, and he was about to explain something.

"I lost."

Xi Yan suddenly admitted defeat and she completely reacted.

Why was he afraid of me being in close combat? Why did he keep trying to distance himself and fly a kite? This was because Lu Ming was deliberately misleading Xi Yan.

When Xi Yan decided to fight Lu Ming in close combat, she completely stepped into Lu Ming's trap and lost.

Even just now, Xiyan discovered that Lu Ming's true form was caused by Lu Ming's deliberate betrayal.

Lu Ming just wanted Xi Yan to attack his body.

Because Lu Ming's body can be transformed into elements, even if Xi Yan didn't stop attacking Lu Ming just now, it would have no effect.

Instead, Xi Yan would be dragged down by Lu Ming's body, and then Lu Ming's clone would take the opportunity to shoot. The bullet would not hurt Lu Ming, but it would definitely hurt Xi Yan...

After thinking about Lu Ming's plan, everyone was completely speechless.

Lu Ming's toying with people's hearts is simply terrifying.

Even though Xiyan knew about Lu Ming's elementalization method, he was still led by Lu Ming.

Those enemies who didn't know Lu Ming's methods would never know how they died until they died. They were even counting money for Lu Ming after being betrayed by Lu Ming.

After admitting defeat, Xi Yan did not leave in a hurry, but stared straight at Lu Ming without saying a word.

Lu Ming felt his heart tremble as he was stared at by Xi Yan, and couldn't help but comfort him:

"This is all a trick. I'm using my strengths against your weaknesses. If I were to fight normally,"

"You are no match for me even if you fight me normally. Yadaime, with your current strength, you are completely capable of defeating me."

Xiyan directly interrupted Lu Ming for the first time in her history, and the content of her words surprised Lu Ming even more:

"Yadaime, you have the Tonton Fruit. My ninjutsu is restrained by you. Releasing the ninjutsu will only enhance your chakra. Now the only thing that can defeat you is swordsmanship. But after you master the elemental transformation, My swordsmanship has been restrained again. Once I am entangled in close combat, I will be attacked by clones. Yadaime, although your chakra level is not at the chuunin level, your tactics and abilities are the nemesis of ninjas. It can be easily restrained against ordinary Jonin."

Lu Ming didn't speak, but his rapid breathing betrayed Lu Ming's mood.

Lu Ming just wanted to test his elemental combat ability. He just thought he was cheating when he won.

Because Xiyan has always been an unattainable mountain in Lu Ming's mind.

From the beginning, Lu Ming was tortured to death by a pirate. At that time, Xi Yan was like a god descending from heaven. In terms of strength, Lu Ming could not even see Xi Yan's back.

Later, in order to awaken the chakra, he worked hard to build the Hokage Building, and accumulated 100 prosperity points for more than a month. Only then did Lu Ming finally step into the door of the ninja with one foot, and he could barely see Xi Yan's back.

Fireball Technique, Three Body Technique, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Vacuum Jade... Lu Ming clearly remembers how he learned every ninjutsu, but he only got closer to Xi Yan.

Even if he got Valpo's Tuntun Fruit, Lu Ming just wanted to use the ability of the Tuntun Fruit to absorb ninjutsu, replenish his chakra, and shorten the distance with Xiyan.

However, now, Lu Ming suddenly discovered that with Ace's help, he accidentally developed the ability to elementalize, and he climbed over this mountain without knowing it.

That is the existence that I look up to.

Lu Ming raised his head slightly and turned his face away.

Who knows the hardships involved.

After defeating Xi Yan, Lu Ming was filled with emotions, but he was not in a hurry to leave. He left Xi Yan behind for targeted training.

Lu Ming and Xi Yan were fighting hard to separate each other. This time, the two did not use ninjutsu, but only fought in close combat.

On the battlefield, Xi Yan wielded her long sword and wanted to slash Lu Ming's vitals.

There was a ding, but Lu Ming waved his arm to block the blade. Instead of being cut, his arm made a sound of gold and iron.

It was Lu Ming who used the fruit's ability to transform his arm into metal.

The moment he blocked the blade, three sharp claws modified from daggers extended from Lu Ming's other arm and swung towards Xi Yan like a Wolverine, trying to force Xi Yan to retreat.

However, Xi Yan did not dodge, splitting into three, instantly creating two shadow clones, stabbing different parts of Lu Ming's body from different directions, turning defense into offense.

Lu Ming quickly transformed his body form and activated the fire element state.

Three long swords struck at the same time, piercing three bowl-sized holes in Lu Ming's body, but not a drop of blood flowed from Lu Ming's body.

The pierced part of the body turned into flames and dissipated, and quickly healed as before.

After Lu Ming's elementalization, he allowed Xi Yan to attack. He passed directly through Xi Yan's body and came behind Xi Yan. The moment he regained his physical body, his fist hit the back of Xi Yan's head.

At this time, Xi Yan's two shadow clones were blocked by Xi Yan's body and could not attack Lu Ming. Xi Yan was blocked by his own shadow clone and could not escape in time. He could only be attacked by Lu Ming on the back of the head.

Lu Ming once again extended three daggers from his fist and placed them on Xi Yan's neck to subdue Xi Yan.

Xi Yan raised her hand, indicating that she would admit defeat this time.

Lu Ming retracted his claws and stood apart from Xi Yan, preparing to fight again.

The two have fought against each other countless times, and Lu Ming is becoming more and more comfortable in switching physical states.

The moment he dodged Xi Yan's dance of three suns and moons, Lu Ming changed from the metal state to the elemental state to avoid moving, and then changed back to the metal state again to attack Xi Yan.

Feeling his huge progress, Lu Ming wanted to practice again, but suddenly noticed Xi Yan's slight breathing.

At this time, Xi Yan's forehead was covered with sweat, her hair was stuck to her forehead and stuck to her face, and her chest was rising and falling. Although she tried her best to hide it, Lu Ming could still feel Xi Yan's heavy breathing.

Glancing at the horizon, Lu Ming realized that the sun had already set in the west before he knew it.

He and Xiyan had been practicing here for nearly ten hours. Ace was so tired that he collapsed on the ground just breathing fire. Xiyan's physical strength was even greater.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming asked Xi Yan to stop and took Ace back to the village.

"No, no, it's too dangerous for you to go out to sea alone. What if the ship sinks again? Not everyone is as kind as Xinya."

On the way, when he learned that Ace was planning to build a ship and leave, Lu Ming was stunned for a moment and then immediately retorted.

Ace was so tired that he couldn't even roll his eyes, and replied weakly:

"It is better to sink a ship and soak in the sea than to be squeezed by you."

"Bah, bah, crow's mouth, we are good brothers, how could I just watch you sink the ship again."

"Humph? Are you afraid that no one will provide you with flames when I leave?"

The two people supported each other and kept bickering as they returned to the village.

But Ace's words reminded Lu Ming.

Elementalization greatly improves one's strength, but the prerequisite for elementalization is that someone provides elements to oneself, and it must be a natural ability user.

There are only a few people in the natural department. No matter where Lu Ming goes to find them, they may not pay attention to Lu Ming if they find them.

Now, he can only take one step at a time. While Ace is here, he can catch up on plot tasks. Thinking of this, Lu Ming looked at Ace with even more intense eyes.

Ace was so stared at that his heart went crazy and he wailed:

"Well, I want to go to sea. Even if I don't have a boat, I still have to go to sea..."
