I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 7 drops something again, a blue light orb.

On the open ground, Yagyu and Uchiha Sasuke stood facing each other, two meters apart.

Iruka stood between them and shouted, "Form the seal of opposition between the two sides!"

Upon hearing this, both Yagyu and Uchiha Sasuke raised their right index and middle fingers.

Iruka took a few steps back, picked up the whistle hanging around his neck, and said, "The rule is, whoever falls first loses. Begin!"

beep—

As the whistle blew, Yagyu and Sasuke Uchiha lowered their hands and rushed towards each other.

Once they were close, Sasuke Uchiha raised his right hand and threw a punch.

Yagyu dodged to the side, raised his hand to grab Uchiha Sasuke's arm, and tried to throw him over his shoulder.

However, Sasuke Uchiha seemed to have anticipated this. He didn't use his full strength in the attack. Instead, the moment his fist was thrown out, he had already gathered power in his left shoulder. With a flick of his wrist, he pulled his right arm back, then crouched down to use the momentum to deliver a sweeping kick to Yagyu, intending to knock him to the ground and end the fight.

The next second, a scene appeared that left Sasuke Uchiha completely dumbfounded, and also made Iruka and everyone else in the audience stare wide-eyed.

Sasuke Uchiha's calculated sweeping leg attack did not instantly kill Yagyu as he had expected; instead, it swept away nothing.

The man who was standing in front of him vanished into thin air with a whoosh.

Immediately afterwards, Sasuke Uchiha felt a pair of hands grab his clothes on his shoulders and throw him forward.

Due to the sweeping leg kick, Sasuke Uchiha was facing the ground at this moment.

This immense force caused him to fly out and land face-first on the ground, as if he had fallen flat on his face.

Upon seeing this, Iruka's first reaction wasn't to announce the outcome of the battle, but rather to stare at Yagyu in astonishment, exclaiming incredulously, "It was the Body Flicker Technique?!"

"What...what just happened?"

"Did Yagyu suddenly disappear and then suddenly reappear?"

"That's the Instantaneous Movement Technique, a skill only upperclassmen learn. I've seen my brother use it."

"I've seen my dad use it too."

"Wow...that's amazing!"

The exclamation reached Sasuke Uchiha's ears.

Slightly embarrassed by the fall, he immediately got up, looked at Yagyu, and said defiantly, "Again!"

"Beep—"

Iruka blew his whistle and shouted, "The battle is over! The winner is Yagyu!"

Swah——

Almost the instant Iruka finished speaking, a blue light suddenly flashed on Uchiha Sasuke's body.

Then a blue beam of light shot out from Uchiha Sasuke's body, landed on the ground next to him, and formed a floating blue ball of light.

Upon seeing this, Liu Sheng's eyes lit up, and then he fell into deep thought.

Whether it was Naruto or Sasuke Uchiha, when they looted equipment, they only ended up falling to the ground by themselves.

He neither subdued them, nor knocked them unconscious or killed them.

It was only Iruka who announced the outcome of the battle.

This kind of judgment is somewhat similar to the timeout in some fighting games.

Regardless of the method, will the game system's equipment drop function take effect as long as the opponent loses?

"hateful!"

Just as Yagyu was deep in thought, Sasuke Uchiha muttered something unsatisfactory.

However, since his clan has not yet been wiped out, Sasuke Uchiha has not become extreme, nor does he place as much importance on victory, defeat, or clan honor.

So, prompted by Iruka, he walked up to Yagyu and held up his index and middle fingers.

Thank you for your guidance!

Once he came to his senses, Yagyu also formed a reconciliation seal with Uchiha Sasuke and then returned to the group.

Just like the quiz six months ago, Liu Sheng watched the upcoming duel with little concentration, clearly lost in thought.

It wasn't until the physical duel ended that Yagyu was able to clear his mind, regain his senses, and stand up.

As he walked toward the survival exercise testing ground, Liu Sheng put on a mask-like smile to deal with the enthusiastic male and female students, while simultaneously summoning a virtual panel visible only to himself to check the blue orb that had been automatically picked up into his spatial backpack.

[Space Backpack: Yin Attribute (Blue)]

Upon seeing the message appearing in the blue light, Liu Sheng was taken aback.

Yin attribute, can even chakra attribute be revealed?

There are seven chakra natures: Yin, Yang, Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, and Lightning.

Shops that specialize in selling ninja tools have test strips that can detect chakra properties.

However, these test strips can only detect wind, fire, water, earth, and thunder; yin and yang are hidden attributes.

The elements of wind, fire, water, earth, and thunder can be possessed innately or acquired through cultivation.

The two attributes of Yin and Yang are unique to us; unless there are any changes in the body, they can only be obtained innately.

Yagyu tested his chakra nature, and found he had two: water and earth.

As for the Yin-Yang attribute, Yagyu didn't know whether he had it before the game system was awakened, and it wasn't displayed on the virtual panel.

However, after awakening the game system and fusing Ashura's chakra, Yagyu was very certain that he had acquired the Yang attribute.

And now, the Yin attribute has been revealed from Uchiha Sasuke.

If these are combined, Yagyu's chakra nature will then consist of four types: Yin, Yang, Water, and Earth.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng's mood instantly became cheerful.

After clicking on the virtual panel and merging the blue light cluster, Liu Sheng murmured to himself, "Gold and blue... I wonder how many colors this light cluster has."

However, compared to the ranking of the orbs, Yagyu is now more curious about the drop mechanism.

After thinking it over, Liu Sheng realized why he had only gotten two "equipment drops" in the past six months.

Because of the different meanings of "victory".

There are many ways to win in the game, including winning a PK match when the time runs out, defeating the opponent, or even winning two out of three matches...

There are also monster kills, or certain mechanics, etc...

Different victories will result in different scores, and the drop rates and rewards will also vary.

The fact that Yagyu only managed to get two items after all this time is probably due to the rating.

This kind of victory is too easy, which is why the drop rate is so low.

Of course, this is just Yagyu's guess.

He is currently unable to verify this idea.

After all, he couldn't just beat his classmate unconscious or kill him, could he?

In that case, his ninja career would end before it even began.

We'll have to wait until graduation to confirm this theory.

Looking at Uchiha Sasuke in front of him, Yagyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and a bold idea came to his mind.

But the next second, he dismissed this outrageous idea.

What are you thinking about?

How could someone like you, a mere genin, possibly be involved in the Uchiha clan massacre orchestrated by Konoha's higher-ups?

Even Liu Sheng was startled by his own actions.

After defying fate, he seems to have become arrogant, which won't do.

In this ninja world rife with underhanded tactics, one must proceed cautiously until one reaches a level of strength where one fears no one.

So, Liu Sheng calmed himself down and prepared for the final test.
