C15 The Mysterious Strange Strength!

Ultimately, the Grass Country was merely a minor nation. Beyond its borders lay the Wave Country, the Hawk Country, the Soup Country, and the likes of the five great nations!

Even within the Ninja World, there were figures such as Rikudō Sennin, Hei Jie, and even Hui Ye, who were akin to deities!

Yang Ming was acutely aware of his own weakness, recognizing the need to continually bolster his strength.

By the time he returned to the orphanage, dusk had settled. The others greeted him with mixed expressions, parting to let him pass.

Unperturbed, Yang Ming grabbed a quick bite to eat before retiring to his room. There, he sat in lotus position and delved into deep meditation.

Gifted by the system with the Immortal Body and Strange Strength, he knew mastering these formidable powers was essential for wielding them effortlessly.

During his stay, he encountered the orphanage's dean, Gong Lizi, who greeted him with a courteous nod. Her demeanor was overly polite, perhaps even ingratiating, suggesting a desire to mend their fractured relationship.

But Yang Ming simply brushed past without a word. Some rifts, he knew, were irreparable.

Gong Lizi was left awkwardly standing, her embarrassment quickly giving way to a glint of anger in her eyes.

"I am the respected head of this orphanage, after all. You may have saved everyone today, but had I not timely alerted Lord Mizushiro Tsubasa, do you think you'd have returned unscathed?" she muttered to herself with a huff.

With that, Gong Lizi let out a cold laugh, dismissing any further thoughts of the proud and defiant Yang Ming.

After she had ushered everyone away, it was she who had promptly informed Mizushiro Tsubasa. Without her intervention, even with his keen senses, he would have struggled to locate Yang Ming so swiftly.

Despite her justifications, memories of Yang Ming's overwhelming defeat of Chu Koichi and his peers sparked a twinge of regret within her.

"Have I overlooked a child of such remarkable talent?" she wondered.

But whatever her thoughts, Yang Ming was beyond caring.

Back in his room, he resumed his meditation.

As dawn broke, he awoke invigorated, feeling a deeper connection to his Strange Strength and Immortal Body.

Strange Strength isn't technically a Body Technique; it's a unique application of Chakra. By rapidly condensing Chakra to a single point, it creates an immense burst of power in an instant! Take Senju Hashirama, for example. He could compress Chakra so densely around his body that a mere gesture exuded overwhelming force. Without even lifting a finger, the mere release of his Chakra was enough to startle both the Third and Fourth Hokages. It could even make someone as stoic as Sasuke break into a cold sweat!

However, for Yang Ming to reach the level where his presence alone could command the world, much like Senju Hashirama, there was still a considerable journey ahead. True Body Technique is embodied by the likes of Kai, where every punch and kick lands with solid impact.

"Even though it's not a genuine Body Technique, the power it wields is formidable. It's certainly no less effective than a Ninja Technique!"

With that thought, Yang Ming rose from his seat in the orphanage and made his way to the Ninja School. Having already secured a spot, and with Ma Sheng Kuro's methods, a single student placement was trivial.

Yang Ming headed to the Grass Village Ninja School, guided by his memories. In stark contrast to the Konoha Ninja School of his past life, the Grass Village Ninja School seemed downright desolate. Nonetheless, it was functional, with classrooms equipped with the essentials.

The Ninja School had just one class, filled mostly with children aged five or six, with a few older ones, seven or eight. They represented the future hope of Grass Village, each batch succeeding the last. Despite their tender age, these children were already acquainted with the harsh realities of the Ninja World, each displaying a readiness to stand on their own.

Arriving after the new student orientation had concluded, Yang Ming spotted Guan Shang and Jin Cou among the crowd. The teacher was in the midst of a lesson. As Yang Ming entered, all eyes turned to him, his presence commanding the room's attention.
