Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

"Can I learn these martial arts from you?" Xia Wusheng bit his lower lip and glanced at Ron cautiously when he saw that Ron still wanted to leave.

Ron chuckled. "I don't do deals that result in losses for no gain."

"Where do you usually go?" Xia Wusheng asked, disappointed yet unwilling to give up.

All I have left is that jade. I've already given it away, so there's no way to make a deal now.

"To be used by me? I need some underlings, then I'll leave."

Xia Wusheng faced the same dilemma again, "Can I think about it?"

Grandpa needs to rest now. It's fine for me to leave for a while, but it wouldn't be good if I left for too long.

"Yes, contact me using this jade."

Ron made a bloodstain on his fingertip, and the system's message appeared again.

System: [Congratulations, host, you have obtained a small beast.]

Along with the bloodstain, Ron's palm suddenly began to glow.

A small, furry animal emerged and nibbled at Ron's trouser leg, its fur standing on end, seemingly very nervous.

"what happened to you?"

Noticing the little beast's movements, Ron immediately squatted down. "Did it suffer internal injuries?"

The little beast nodded, loosened Ron's trouser leg, stammered, and kept looking towards its own calves.

Ron instantly understood and covered the little beast's calf with his palm.

The little beast immediately recovered, and as Ron's palm flickered, the little beast entered.

Xia Wusheng was first startled, then surprised, "I didn't expect this jade to be this kind of thing."

"A new interface will appear when you select the jade; just contact me then."

Ron tossed the jade over, glanced at Xia Wusheng, and turned to leave.

Xia Wusheng nodded.

At this moment, the system spoke again: [The next potential Shadow-type user has appeared.]

Ron smiled and headed towards the direction of the genin exams.

He had a premonition that the person with the potential to become a Kage would appear in the Genin Exams.

And he happened to meet up with Boruto and the others.

Feng Qingyue was pleasantly surprised as soon as she entered the village and immediately became curious.

What is this thing? How can it be trained so fast? The shape is so unique, it's even more impressive than what people from their area train? And it doesn't even require any large buildings?

Feng Qingyue looked around, and when she looked up, she saw a tree trunk in front of her. She almost bumped into it, instinctively stepped back, touched her forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's true that one shouldn't be too happy. Master is right; when people are too happy, they are prone to turning joy into sorrow.

The journey was winding and confusing, and the wind and moonlight were so dazzling that they almost blinded the eyes.

She really loved Konoha Village, except the sunlight was a bit too strong.

After an unknown amount of time, the sunlight became less glaring. Feng Qingyue stared at the tall platform in front of her and the large characters on one side, her eyes lighting up.

Finally, the genin exams have arrived.

7. Encounter (No need to read)

The system's voice then sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the Divine Healer skill.]

"Can you take me home?" Xia Wusheng blinked, looking at Ron with the lost look in his eyes, which seemed to be filled with tears.

Ron smiled, about to refuse, when Xia Wusheng asked again, his tone extremely urgent, his eyes almost crying with impatience.

"Do you know medicine? My grandfather is seriously ill, and all the doctors are helpless. They say he's about to die, but I feel there's still hope. Can you save him?"

“My family has a magical treasure. If you save him, you can get it. I have never used this treasure, but my ancestors gained a lot of power through it.”

A magical treasure? I might as well go and try out this divine healer's skills.

Ron nodded. "Take me to your house."

These words instantly ignited Xia Wusheng's hope, and he became excited. "Okay, let's go."

With that, Xia Wusheng grabbed Ron's sleeve and started running wildly.

Ron couldn't help but find it amusing.

She looks like an eighteen-year-old girl, but she acts as recklessly as a seven or eight-year-old child.

They arrived at the location shortly, and Ron raised an eyebrow at their sight.

There was a dilapidated thatched house in front of me, with a door made of haystacks that looked like it was about to collapse.

Xia Wusheng felt embarrassed and scratched his head, "This is where my grandpa and grandma first lived. My grandma passed away a long time ago."

As she spoke, her eyes darkened, and she lowered her head. "My grandfather felt that his days were numbered and that he missed my grandmother, so he insisted on staying here."

Ron patted Xia Wusheng on the shoulder. "Let's go in."

The slightly calm voice offered Xia Wusheng some comfort, like listening to a can of water. Xia Wusheng raised his head and nodded firmly.

"But I believe Grandpa will get better. Let's go."

"But what's your name? I don't know yet."

After walking for a while, Xia Wusheng suddenly remembered something, tilted his head to look at Ron and asked, then introduced himself, "My name is Xia Wusheng. Xia means summer, and Wusheng means without sound."

"No sound in summer?" Ron chuckled, discovering a pleasant sound.

“I am Ron.”

“Ron?” Xia Wusheng nodded thoughtfully. “It sounds pretty good.”

As they spoke, Xia Wusheng and Ron entered the house. The furnishings were old and simple, with only a few pieces of furniture, a table, a few stools, a large wardrobe next to it, and a bed to the left.

There were few other items, just a few scattered ornaments. A frail old man with osteomalacia lay on the hospital bed, opening his aged and cloudy eyes to glance at Ron, then at Xia Wusheng.

"Silent, cough cough...who is this person?"

Xia Wusheng quickly went over and stood the pillow up, and the old man leaned on Xia Wusheng to sit up.

"Grandpa, this is the doctor I found for you. You'll be better soon."

Xia Wusheng looked at the old man's pale face with heartache, and tried his best to hold back his tears and speak with a smile.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then scolded, "You child, have you stolen money again? You've been stealing money to go to the doctor lately. Why bother? I'm already content to have lived this long."

“Don’t worry, Grandpa, it doesn’t cost any money,” Xia Wusheng said, looking at Ron. “He’s Ron, and he saved me. Grandpa, just let him take a look.”

The old man looked at Ron, his eyes already too blurry to see faces due to his illness, and squinted, unable to refuse his granddaughter's request.

"Dr. Luo, I'm counting on you this time."

"Hmm." Ron went over and exposed the old man's left wrist to examine him. A stream of knowledge flowed into Ron's mind, and Ron instantly got the answer.

Poisoning, a poison that can accelerate aging and death, can make one appear as if they are simply sick.

Ron gathered his strength by rotating his hands and struck the old man's left wrist.

This force circulated within the old man's body, absorbing all the toxins.

“Bowl.” Ron saw that the time was right and looked at Xia Wusheng.

Xia Wusheng was stunned for a moment. Ignoring his confusion, he hurriedly ran to the table, grabbed a bowl, and handed it to Ron.

Ron took the bowl and placed it in front of the old man. His stomach churned, and the old man vomited several mouthfuls of black blood.

Xia Wusheng couldn't help but feel scared, tears streaming down his face as he anxiously looked at Ron, "Ron, is my grandfather alright?"

After vomiting, the elderly man felt refreshed and his condition had improved significantly compared to before.

Hearing Xia Wusheng's concern, he quickly responded.

"Silent, I'm alright."

"Are you alright?" Xia Wusheng was taken aback, looking at Ron with a puzzled expression. "What was that black blood just now?"

“Your grandfather was poisoned,” Ron explained. “This poison looks like an illness, which is why you feel sick.”

Xia Wusheng immediately understood and looked at Ron gratefully, "Thank you, Ron."

"Young man, stay for dinner." The old man looked at Ron, feeling a surge of satisfaction.

After being sick for so many days, I thought I was beyond saving. I really have to thank this young man in front of me.

"I have some things to attend to, you should rest well," Ron replied politely, recalling his conversation with Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki earlier.

"My cooking is pretty good, you can stay."

Xia Wusheng looked at Ron with hope, feeling that the man in front of her was becoming more and more charming, making her feel very safe. She wished she could make this man like her.

"Next time," Ron thought for a moment, leaving Xia Wusheng with a mystery.

Xia Wusheng nodded, looking somewhat disappointed. "Alright then."
