In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

"Good, your reaction was quick," Lei Huo said approvingly.

Xia Mu smiled slightly, but his heart grew increasingly nervous.

"I want to unleash my full potential in water manipulation!" he thought to himself.

In the ensuing battle, Xia Mu gradually gained control of the situation thanks to his agile movements and precise water-style techniques.

"Water Dragon Bullet!" He condensed the water into the shape of a dragon and charged towards Lei Huo.

Lei Huo was surprised and quickly adjusted his direction, trying to dodge.

"Come on, give me your full strength!" Xia Mu's heart surged with excitement as he continued his attack.

The competition was in full swing, and Xia Mu gradually found his rhythm in this new challenge.

He understood that only through perseverance and hard work could he remain invincible in the competition.

"I will win this game!" Xia Mu told himself firmly, his eyes shining brightly as he forged ahead.

Xia Mu stood in the center of the competition field, his heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.

214: Go all out! Escape the water's clutches!!

This match was not only a test of his strength, but also proof of his growth.

The enthusiastic atmosphere in the audience made him feel an invisible pressure.

"Go for it, Xia Mu!" Yin Yue waved and cheered for him from afar.

Xia Mu nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the tension in her heart.

At that moment, the referee loudly announced the start of the match, and Lei Huo quickly rushed towards him.

"Lightning Slash!" Lightning crackled in Lei Huo's hand as the attack came straight at him.

Natsuki reacted quickly, mobilizing his chakra and activating Water Release.

"Water Wall!" With a wave of his hand, he instantly created a water curtain that blocked the attack of lightning and fire.

"Not bad!" Lei Huo smiled slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

Xia Mu knew that he absolutely could not let his guard down.

"Thunderfire is both fast and powerful; I must be careful," he thought.

"Water Dragon Bullet!" Xia Mu once again condensed water into a water dragon, which rushed towards Lei Huo.

"Alright!" Lei Huo's face showed decisiveness, and he crossed his arms, ready to counterattack.

"Lightning Defense!" With his roar, electricity surged around him, forming a protective layer.

The water dragon and lightning collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.

Xia Mu felt the powerful shockwave approaching and his heart tightened, but he did not back down.

"I absolutely cannot lose!" He gritted his teeth and forced himself to concentrate.

As the match continued, Xia Mu gradually adapted to the rhythm.

"Water Clone Technique!" He created multiple water clones, which surrounded Lei Huo.

"Trying to distract me?" Lei Huo remained unyielding, his figure flashing as he tried to dodge.

The water clones launched attacks on the thunder and fire simultaneously, but the thunder and fire reacted quite quickly.

"Lightning Impact!" He mobilized his chakra, releasing a powerful electric current that shattered Xia Mu's water clone.

Xia Mu was shocked to see this and realized the urgency of the situation.

“I need to change my tactics,” he thought quickly.

"Water surges and wind whips up!" Xia Mu manipulated the combination of water and wind to create a powerful vortex.

"What is this?!" Lei Huo was stunned by the sudden attack.

The interplay of water flow and wind creates a powerful attraction.

"Seize the opportunity!" Xia Mu thought to himself and quickly rushed towards Lei Huo.

"Waterspout!" With his roar, a massive waterspout surged toward Lei Huo in an instant.

Lei Huo realized the situation was bad and quickly retreated.

However, Xia Mu's attack was unstoppable.

“…Retreat quickly!” he cried inwardly, as a powerful current of water enveloped the thunder and fire.

Lei Huo tried his best to escape, but was eventually swallowed by the water.

"I won this match!" Xia Mu shouted.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, and Silver Moon jumped up with joy.

However, the competition was not over yet, and the next challenge was yet to come.

"Next up is the second round of the competition!" the referee's voice rang out, carrying a sense of urgency.

Natsuki became alert and quickly adjusted her state (Mano's).

"This match made me realize that my strength is never limited to this," he thought.

Just then, another ninja stepped forward, tall and imposing.

His name is Wind Blade, a powerful figure from Wind Village, renowned for his Wind Release techniques.

"I've heard you're very strong, and I look forward to a fight with you." Wind Blade said provocatively.

"I won't let you down!" Xia Mu replied firmly to Jun.

The match resumed, and Xia Mu secretly became more vigilant.

215: The Battle Between Wind and Water! Fighting with the Environment!!

Wind Blade's Wind Release technique is extremely advanced; each of his attacks carries immense power.

"Whirlwind Slash!" Wind Blade swung his blade with the power of the wind, his attacks swift and precise.

Xia Mu quickly mobilized the water flow to form a defense.

"Water Wall!" He used all his strength to gather the water and block the wind blade attack.

However, the wind blades' attacks did not stop there.

"Storm Vortex!" He gathered chakra in his hands, forming a huge vortex, and rushed towards Xia Mu.

Xia Mu's expression turned serious; he knew he had to find an opportunity to retaliate.

"Water Dragon Bullet!" He gathered his strength again, attempting to counterattack.

However, the wind blade's attack power was enough to tear apart the water flow, and the water dragon bullet was instantly shredded by the wind 490.

"Damn it!" Xia Mu thought anxiously.

He realized he needed to be more flexible and find weaknesses.

"The battle between wind and water requires making good use of the environment." He began to think about solutions.

Using the environment, Xia Mu quickly retreated, searching for the wind blade's weakness.

"Are you trying to run away?" Wind Blade sneered and continued to approach.

"It's not about running away, but about finding an opportunity!" Xia Mu silently told himself.

He quickly channeled the water to the surrounding land, creating a hidden waterway.

"Water Flow Control Technique!" Xia Mu cleverly used the terrain to create a water flow that attacked.

"What are you doing?" Windblade stared ahead in confusion.

Just then, the water burst forth and rushed towards the wind blade.

"What is this?!" The wind blade was hit by the sudden flow of water and instantly lost its balance.

"Waterspout!" Xia Mu seized the opportunity to launch an attack, attempting to engulf the wind blades in the water flow.

"Damn it!" Wind Blade used all his strength to launch a counterattack by channeling his chakra.

The forces of the two intertwined in the air, creating an earth-shattering confrontation.

"I absolutely cannot lose!" Xia Mu shouted in his heart, feeling the intense fluctuations of chakra.

Just then, the wind blade's counterattack successfully dispersed the water flow, and the powerful wind dispersed Xia Mu's attack.

"Waterspout!" Xia Mu quickly adjusted, preparing to launch another attack.

After several rounds of combat, Xia Mu gradually adapted to the attack patterns of the wind blades.

He began to focus on finding weaknesses and preparing to counterattack.

"Water Clone Technique!" He created multiple water clones once again, attempting to distract the wind blades.

"Trying to fool me with such a petty trick?" Wind Blade sneered, wielding the wind blade in his hand, heading straight for the water clone.

However, Xia Mu's true intentions went beyond that.
