I became the Martial Ancestor across all realms, pioneering the strongest martial path.

A month later, the Nine-Tailed Fox inside the martial arts school felt its body hollowed out; even in death, its body did not compress.

However, its size is still as big as an ox or a horse!

The reason is simple: Li Wu inhaled it!

Tailed beasts are known for having a lot of chakra, not to mention the Nine-Tails.

As is well known, when the Sage of Six Paths distributed chakra to the tailed beasts...

That's one serving for one tail, one serving for nine tails, one serving for two tails, one serving for nine tails, one serving for three tails, and one serving for nine tails.

And so on, and so on, the Nine-Tails has the most chakra!

Sage of Six Paths: Well, there's nothing I can do about it. It was the one that cried the saddest when I was about to die!

How could a filial child not receive a large share?

Nine-Tails: That's right! That's right! It makes perfect sense! Not to mention, I've always been the most filial to the Sage of Six Paths. The struggle for the crown prince has always been like this!

That's all I deserve!

Anyway, the Nine-Tails has a lot of chakra, which naturally attracted Li Wu's attention.

Ultimately, isn't chakra just energy?

As long as there is a suitable conversion method, it can be absorbed into true qi!

Li Wu has been at the Core Formation stage for some time now, and it's time for him to break through.

The next level is Gang Jin, a martial art that he has transformed into possessing true qi.

A lot of energy is needed to break through to the Gang Jin level.

Not to mention, Li Wu had to reach the extreme in each realm, which meant that he needed even more energy to break through to the Gang Jin realm!

Of course, he has countless ways to achieve a breakthrough easily without requiring so much energy.

But that's not strong enough!

In comparison, he would prefer to need a lot of energy, or even more.

Therefore, he naturally cannot let go of the tailed beasts!

The newly created martial art, Devour, as the name suggests, involves devouring various energies to replenish one's own martial arts skills.

Li Wu decisively began to absorb the Nine-Tailed Fox!

They squeezed it dry!

It felt like its body had been hollowed out. If it weren't for Li Wu, I think the Nine-Tailed Fox would be more suitable as a mount.

It estimates that it won't even be able to maintain its current size!

Nine-Tails: Waaaaah! You promised to only lend me a little chakra! Why did you use so much? Give it back! Give it back!

Li Wu: That's right! It's just a tiny bit, as for returning it to you? Are you kidding me?

I borrowed it through my own abilities, so why should I pay it back to you?

Besides, didn't you say before that you could use it freely? You said you lacked everything except chakra!

Nine-Tails: Damn, who would have thought you could absorb so much energy!

It felt its body was extremely weak, and the fox was about to become withdrawn!

But Li Wu couldn't be bothered with it!

This made Nine-Tails curse inwardly, "You heartless man! You just sucked it up and then ignored it!"

Scumbag!

Li Wu: ? ? ? Don't talk nonsense! You bastard!

The Nine-Tailed Fox was secretly cursing him, which made him suddenly sneeze twice!

Even the Nine-Tails is nervous!

After all, in the ninja world, there's a saying that if someone sneezes, it means someone is thinking about you, and if someone sneezes twice, it means someone is cursing you!

Nine-Tailed Fox was terrified that it would secretly curse him in its heart, get discovered, and then get another beating.

Fortunately, after sneezing twice, Li Wu touched his chin and frowned.

What he said was...

"If one sneeze means someone is thinking of me, then two sneezes mean..."

Two people are thinking about me! Sigh! There's nothing I can do; being too outstanding makes me an easy target for attention!

Nine-Tails: ....., what an ordinary guy!

However, this also relieved it, since that's what it thought.

That way, I won't get a beating, right?

Unfortunately, it was wrong!

With a thud, a large bump appeared on the Nine-Tailed Fox's head, causing it to writhe on the ground in pain.

It's this kind of fist that always feels like it hits right to the soul.

It hurts, it hurts too much!

Li Wu: Well, to some extent, that's true, since my punch not only hits the body but also the soul!

Its main theme is the dual torment of body and soul! Hehehe!!!

To be fair, much of the knowledge he gained from the ninja world greatly enhanced his martial arts, enabling him to create martial arts techniques and even delve deeper into the aspects of the soul and spirit!

Nine-Tailed Fox was inexplicably punched by Li Wu, so his first reaction was definitely to cry out in injustice and complain!

"No! Why did you hit me? I didn't do anything!"

It did secretly curse Li Wu just now, but didn't this guy notice?

He was just being narcissistic! Why did he suddenly hit him?

Did he find out?

In Nine-Tailed Fox's mind, Li Wu's abilities during this period were godlike and there was nothing he couldn't do.

If he could read minds, it would make sense if you thought about it carefully, but what if he couldn't?

If not, it would have to express its displeasure if it got punched for no reason!

If Li Wu had any moral compass, he wouldn't have hit someone for no reason!

It should be that if it hunts a fox, it should feel a little guilty! It doesn't want much.

We just need to improve its treatment a bit in the future!

As for if he really could read minds and know that he had cursed him, so what?

I've already taken a punch and suffered enough, I can't take another one!

With a bang!

Another bump appeared on the big bump on the Nine-Tailed Fox's head. It wasn't rolling on the ground anymore; it was practically mopping the floor!

"Why should I hit you? Uh! I can hit whoever I want, because I am the Martial Ancestor Li Wu!"

This is what Li Wu said!

Nine-Tails: Good news, this guy didn't say he can read minds, or that I insulted him!

Bad news: This guy has absolutely no morals and feels no remorse whatsoever! Bastard!

Following such a person, it felt its future was bleak!

Li Wu: Hehe! Actually, I knew this guy had insulted me, and that's why I hit him.

After all, Kurama had also learned some martial arts during this time, combined with various sensory ninjutsu knowledge.

It's all too easy to tell if someone is insulting you.

But I won't say that I hit it because it insulted me; I was just playing around and messing with its mentality!

Hehehe!!!

After teasing the Nine-Tailed Fox as usual, Li Wu looked towards the center of the martial arts hall, where only two young men were dodging and weaving, attacking each other in a lively battle.

Those two were none other than Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki!

Although Sasuke was stronger than Naruto when they were in the Ninja Academy.

But that was before. After practicing martial arts, as long as you're willing to take medicine, resources will keep up.

That difference is nothing, and although Sasuke has it, he gets extra tutoring from Fugaku Uchiha when he gets home.

But Naruto also has his parents guiding him!

This principle aligns with the rule that Asuras generally suppress Indras.

In just one month, Naruto and Sasuke actually reached the same level!

So now, the two are locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle!

What Sasuke didn't know was that as Naruto began to grow stronger, this was probably the easiest and most likely time for him to defeat him.

He doesn't know this now, precisely because the former bottom-ranked student could fight him to a standstill.

And what about Hongwen?

He said before that he wanted to avenge his brother, but he couldn't even beat the former loser!

Then what right does he have to claim he defeated Li Wu?

Moreover, although Naruto has had plenty of resources during this period, he is the son of the former Uchiha clan leader.

He doesn't lack resources!

Li Wu is a hands-off manager; although he can teach, he teaches genuine skills.

However, it was obscure and difficult to understand, and very complicated, and he didn't give Naruto any special training.

So, if that's the case, Naruto was able to fight him to a standstill because he truly understood those complex concepts!

With his talent, he reached the same level as himself in a short period of time?

Li Wu: ? ? ? No? Is it that difficult? I thought you two, as reincarnations of Asura and Indra, would be a bit smarter!

So, it's just a little more anthropomorphic than the others?

Sigh! Even with the talent of a Martial Ancestor, I'm still too much of a genius! Even if I were considered the protagonist or genius of the original world, I'd be nothing special compared to him!

Lonely as snow!

This reminded him of when martial arts were first taught in the world of Super Gods, and those guys couldn't learn it even after being taught once, twice, or three times.

Let him describe his state of mind when he thinks, "How could anyone not learn this kind of thing?"

Later, they went to great lengths to simplify it, making the martial arts a foolproof version that even a fool could learn and achieve something as long as they were willing to work hard.

But it took him a lot of effort, which left him quite speechless at the time!

But now, I've let it go; after all, I'm used to it!
