Borrow my talent? Wood Release Sharingan stuns the school beauty.

Lin Chen stared intently at the two third-tier ferocious beasts fighting in the open space, a plan already forming in his mind.

Lin Chen then used Wood Clone Technique. "Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"

Emerald green light surged, the ground trembled slightly, and three thick vines broke through the soil, quickly intertwining and condensing. In just two seconds, three clones identical to Lin Chen appeared at the edge of the open space.

The clones moved nimbly, and the moment they landed, they sprinted in the opposite direction. At the same time, they gathered spiritual power in their hands and released several small wooden spikes in the direction of the Flame Lion and the Black Scale Python, deliberately provoking them.

"Roar!" The Flame Lion, who was being entangled by the Black Scale Python, sensed the movement behind him and was hit in the back by a wooden spike, and was immediately enraged.

The wooden clone doesn't deal much damage, but it's extremely insulting.

Especially when the two ferocious beasts were fighting, the wood clone would come out to harass them.

Flame Lion lunged at one of the wood clones, spewing out a huge fireball that instantly ignited the surrounding trees.

The black-scaled python was also enraged. Its cold, serpentine eyes locked onto another wooden clone. With a flash, it darted out like a black lightning bolt, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly as it lunged to bite at the clone.

The third wooden clone took the opportunity to circle behind the two ferocious beasts, constantly releasing wooden spikes to harass them and attract their attention, gradually leading them into the depths of the jungle.

Lin Chen hid behind the tree, staring intently at the figures of the two ferocious beasts. Seeing that they were completely attracted by the clone and ran wildly into the distance, he slowly stepped out from behind the tree, his steps extremely light, and quickly walked towards the boulder.

The closer one gets to the boulder, the more concentrated the spiritual energy emitted by the Vermilion Fruit becomes. Taking a breath causes the spiritual power within the body to stir, and the Hashirama cells also become quietly active, as if yearning for the nourishment of the Vermilion Fruit.

Lin Chen climbed the boulder in a few steps, his eyes fixed on the crimson fruit. The red light on the fruit's surface grew increasingly dazzling, and the spiritual energy was almost solidified, making his heart burn with desire.

He reached out, his fingertips trembling slightly, just about to touch the vermilion fruit, when he suddenly heard two deafening roars from afar, their voices filled with intense anger and vigilance, rapidly approaching him.

Lin Chen's heart sank, realizing something was wrong.

The wooden clone disappeared.

Sure enough, the next second, two enormous figures sped towards them from the distant jungle; they were the Flame Lion and the Black Scale Python.

After killing the wood clones, they saw the 'corpse' and realized they had been tricked. They immediately reacted and ran back towards the direction of the Vermilion Fruit.

At that moment, they happened to see Lin Chen standing on the boulder, his hand reaching for the vermilion fruit, and the greed in their eyes was instantly replaced by overwhelming rage.

Both the Flame Lion and the Black Scale Python considered the Vermilion Fruit theirs for the taking. After fighting for half a day, they were outmaneuvered by a human, which enraged them.

The two ferocious beasts, who were originally at odds, instantly put aside their grudges and locked their eyes on Lin Chen on the boulder. Their ferocious aura grew stronger, as if they wanted to devour Lin Chen alive.

"Third-tier ferocious beasts are too fast."

Lin Chen didn't expect the time his wooden clone had gained to be so short.

"roar!"

"hiss!"

Two roars rang out simultaneously, and the Flame Lion leaped towards the boulder, spewing fireballs that scorched the air and hurtled straight at Lin Chen.

The black-scaled python coiled around the boulder and climbed rapidly upwards, its sharp fangs gleaming with a deadly cold light, reaching Lin Chen's feet in an instant.

The two ferocious beasts were extremely fast, far exceeding Lin Chen's expectations. Coupled with the fact that he was standing on top of the boulder with nowhere to hide, he was instantly trapped in a desperate situation.

The fireball arrived in an instant, its scorching heat burning his skin, and the black-scaled python's fangs were already close at hand. The threat of death instantly enveloped his entire body.

"I'll risk it all!" Lin Chen's eyes hardened, and without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed his full spiritual power. His three-tomoe Sharingan suddenly lit up, its scarlet light dazzling and blinding. An invisible spiritual force enveloped the two ferocious beasts.

The illusion's power accurately struck the two ferocious beasts. The Fiery Lion, which was pouncing, suddenly stopped, its anger instantly replaced by confusion, and the same three-tomoe Sharingan as Lin Chen appeared in its pupils.

At the same time, it saw a black-scaled python biting at its wound.

The fierce light in the Flame Lion's eyes surged again. With a roar, it pounced on the Black Scale Python, its sharp claws slamming down on the python's head.

Like the Flame Lion, the Black Scale Python also fell into the illusion. It mistakenly believed that the Flame Lion wanted to steal the Vermilion Fruit and kill it. It was instantly enraged and suddenly coiled around the Flame Lion's body, spewing out venom and tearing at the Flame Lion's neck.

The two ferocious beasts, who had temporarily formed an alliance, once again engaged in a frenzied battle.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Lin Chen did not hesitate any longer and reached out to pluck the vermilion fruit.

The vermilion fruit felt warm to the touch, and its rich spiritual energy instantly surged into his palm, spreading along his meridians to his entire body, making him feel completely comfortable.

He dared not linger, turned around and leaped off the boulder, his figure like a cheetah, and ran wildly into the distance, not daring to look back at all.

The illusion's duration is limited. Once the two ferocious beasts break free of the illusion, they will catch up with him quickly at their speed, and then he will have no chance to escape.

Lin Chen ran wildly without daring to stop for a moment. Relying on the perception ability of his Sharingan, he avoided ferocious beasts and obstacles along the way and ran towards a remote area.

About half an hour later, he finally escaped danger and arrived at a hidden cave.

The cave was small, and its entrance was hidden by dense bushes, making it a very secluded place. There was no sign of ferocious beasts around, making it an excellent hiding place.

Lin Chen cautiously scanned his surroundings, and only after confirming that there was no danger did he enter the cave.

After entering the cave, he found some stones and blocked the entrance.

Then he found a dry corner, sat cross-legged, and placed the vermilion fruit in his palm.

"Taking this Vermilion Fruit will at least allow me to break through to the Martial Master realm."

Looking at the crimson fruit in his hand, Lin Chen took a deep breath and swallowed it.

The vermilion fruit melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a surge of violent and pure spiritual energy exploded within his body, like a rushing river, spreading along his meridians to nourish his limbs and bones.

Lin Chen immediately closed his eyes, guiding the spiritual energy within his body to quickly integrate into himself, while suppressing the violent energy to prevent his meridians from being torn apart.

Nourished by the spiritual energy of the Vermilion Fruit, the Hashirama cells became exceptionally active and rapidly merged with his body.

The spiritual energy within his body grew increasingly concentrated, constantly challenging the barrier of the peak of martial arts. Lin Chen gritted his teeth and gathered all his spiritual energy in his dantian.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud resounded within his body, and the barrier of the martial artist realm was instantly shattered. An even more powerful force surged from his dantian, spreading throughout his entire body. Lin Chen's aura instantly surged, and a powerful aura surrounded him.

"Finally, I've broken through to the Martial Master level."

"My chances of getting into the martial arts college entrance exam are much better now."

Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

When he awakened his talent, his goal was not only to pass the martial arts college entrance examination.

Furthermore, you need to be in the top ten to be eligible to choose the four top schools.

"Unfortunately, the Vermilion Fruit doesn't have much potential for improvement, and the Wood Release couldn't evolve to S-rank."

"Otherwise, we could unleash even more powerful skills."

After his breathing stabilized, Lin Chen walked out of the cave.

Soon after, he was blocked by three figures.

The leader was a thin boy with triangular eyes and a sinister smile. Behind him were two tall boys with fierce expressions.

Lin Chen's gaze sharpened as he recognized the three people.

They were all students at Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School, and even more so, Zhao Yu's lackeys. They usually followed Zhao Yu, bullying their classmates by taking advantage of his power.

"Lin Chen, I've finally found you." The boy with triangular eyes sneered.
