Chapter 13: Well-Endowed Capital
"Mm…"
Li Jie xuan let out a comfortable groan and slowly opened his eyes.
The sky had already brightened again—he had actually slept straight through the entire night!
And…
Li Jie xuan realized that he was lying inside a clay jar. More importantly, there was actually a fire burning beneath it. Turning his head, he saw an even larger clay jar beside him, with Might Guy lying inside it as well.
"You're awake?"
Noticing that Li Jie xuan had woken up, Might Guy smiled and nodded at him. "The medicinal effect still has half an hour left. Don't waste it."
As he spoke, Might Guy closed his eyes again and sat upright in the clay jar, resting quietly.
Judging by how practiced he looked, this was definitely not his first time doing this. It was just that before, when Li Jie xuan was asleep, Might Guy would still be training, and by the time Li Jie xuan woke up, Might Guy would already be out, which was why Li Jie xuan had never noticed.
Once he calmed down, Li Jie xuan finally sensed the warm medicinal bath sending thread after thread of heat deep into his body. These warm currents gently brushed over his fatigued muscles and bones. Despite having exhausted himself multiple times the night before, there was now not the slightest trace of soreness or fatigue left in his body.
Even more terrifying was the fact that his attributes had changed again.
Character: Li Jie xuan
Wisdom: 6. Spirit: 0. Seals: 0. Body: 0.5. Ninjutsu: 0. Genjutsu: 0. Speed: 0.5. Strength: 1.5.
Li Jie xuan couldn't help but lightly clench his fist. That surging power exploded violently in his palm. A tiny infant's hand actually produced a fierce whistling sound! This kind of strength?
With just a single medicinal bath, his strength had increased by a full half an adult! If—
Just as Li Jie xuan's thoughts began to run wild, Might Guy lifted his eyelids slightly. "Only the first medicinal bath gives this kind of boost. Don't even think about taking shortcuts!"
Hearing this, Li Jie xuan gave an embarrassed smile, reined in his thoughts, and slowly closed his eyes, quietly enjoying the final half hour.
"Do you wish to claim the mission reward: Basic Genin Chakra?"
"No."
Li Jie xuan gently shook his head. Now was not the time to receive that chakra. After all, as a war orphan, learning chakra without anyone teaching him would be far too suspicious!
Because of Tsunade, Konoha had already begun paying attention to him. From now on, he would have to be extremely cautious in everything he did. Otherwise, the Yamanaka clan's Mind Body Switch and mind-reading techniques would definitely make him regret ever coming to this world.
"Huff—"
Li Jie xuan let out a long breath, summoned his space-time kunai, and lightly toyed with it. Only by being completely in tune with one's weapon could one bring out one hundred percent of its power.
"At this point, I've gained a certain level of strength. At the very least, I won't be easily killed by ordinary people anymore."
Li Jie xuan gently rotated the hollow ring handle of the space-time kunai, his gaze gradually turning cold. "If I find the chance, maybe I should go pay a visit to Hetian—properly thank him for his 'kind upbringing.'"
Beginner Mission (Stage Mission): Kill Hetian.
Mission Content: A gentleman's revenge should be carried out sooner rather than later!
Mission Reward: Kunai Throwing (Intermediate)
Time Limit: One week.
However, Li Jie xuan suddenly caught sight of the calendar to the side: September 8th—only two days left until the ninja academy opened…
"Hmph. Hetian, I'll let your dog head stay on your shoulders for a few more days."
Li Jie xuan suddenly stood up inside the clay jar, a five-year-old child arrogantly clenching his fists. "Once I've started school, I'll come take your life!"
But…
Why does it feel kind of chilly?
Li Jie xuan looked down and realized he seemed to be wearing nothing at all. That guy Might Guy had stripped him naked before tossing him in.
Still…
In this life, as a man, his capital was just as impressive as well!
