"I'm in the Dragon Clan, what the heck is the Naruto Counterattack System?"

"Sister, we're here to find someone."

Knowing that Chu Zihang wasn't good at handling these kinds of situations, Qi Xiuyuan stepped forward with a sweet smile and pointed to the Maybach 62 parked in the distance: "The owner of that car is my friend's father. Do you know him, sister?"

"..."

Although he knew Qi Xiuyuan was lying, Chu Zihang didn't play along and simply nodded without saying a word.

"That car."

The woman glanced at the Maybach 62, a deep look flashing in her eyes, but she quickly turned back to the two men, shook her head, and smiled, "Sorry, we only recognize cards here, not people."

"I see." Qi Xiuyuan sighed. "Alright, thank you, sister. Let's wait outside for a bit."

After saying that, under the woman's gaze, he didn't linger. He tugged at Chu Zihang's clothes, and Chu Zihang obediently followed him to the side of the road.

"What do you mean?" Qi Xiuyuan looked at the silent Chu Zihang and asked with a smile, "Are you planning to wait for him to come out before asking, or are you going to find a way to go in and see for yourself?"

"Maybe there's something going on? Or maybe it's actually quite legitimate inside?"

He knew Chu Zihang's aloof and indifferent personality all too well.

Knowing that if Chu Zihang were given the choice, he would never question his biological father, and would only let the misunderstanding continue.

Therefore, Qi Xiuyuan did not offer the option of "ignoring it".

So, the only option left for Chu Zihang was to find a way to get in and see for himself.

Chu Zihang was only a fifteen-year-old boy at the time, and he was somewhat at a loss when faced with this situation, completely unaware that he had fallen into Qi Xiuyuan's verbal trap.

He simply turned to look at Qi Xiuyuan, who smiled and took out his phone.

"I know someone who might be able to help you."

As he spoke, he looked down, clicked on someone's profile picture in his QQ contacts, typed a message, and sent it...

Ding dong.

Almost immediately after the message was sent, the other party responded.

[The journey is long and arduous: Do you have time tomorrow?]

[Su Xiaoqiang: If it's a date.]

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and didn't say whether it was a date or not, only replying with a single sentence.

[Its journey is long and arduous: the same old place.]

[Su Xiaoqiang: Okay.]

Having received a response, Qi Xiuyuan put away his phone, looked up, and was met with a pair of strangely glaring black eyes.

"Su Xiaoqiang?" Chu Zihang's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Qi Xiuyuan and lowered his voice, "A girl?"

His voice and expression remained as indifferent as ever, but his tone and eyes were noticeably different from usual.

It's like someone who's caught a whiff of gossip...

"Gossip." Qi Xiuyuan's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but lower his voice to complain, "Do your little fangirls know that your cold-faced idol actually has the heart of a gossip?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Chu Zihang's eyes, and he wanted to ask again, but Qi Xiuyuan simply turned around and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "The team is playing against another school tomorrow, right? Don't forget to bring my jersey."

Watching his figure gradually disappear from sight, Chu Zihang took one last deep look at the Maybach 62 in the distance, then turned to leave...

buzzing.

Chu Zihang stopped in his tracks, looked down at his phone, took it out, and opened QQ to see unread messages.

[Xia Mi (Basketball Team Cheerleading Captain): Senior! Good luck in tomorrow's game!]

Upon seeing the message, Chu Zihang was momentarily stunned, and the image of a bouncing ponytail flashed through his mind.

------

After the rain, the moon and stars were few and far between, and the night was quiet as night fell, with only the chirping of crickets to be heard.

It's a bit noisy and disruptive, yet it also has a summery feel to it.

Click.

The taxi stopped outside a detached villa in the suburbs. A moment later, Qi Xiuyuan opened the door, changed his shoes, and entered the foyer.

The house isn't big, since he lives alone and it would be inconvenient to manage if it were too big.

So he simply set aside two rooms, turning them into his studio and gym.

"Speaking of which, those people were very efficient at cleaning up the mess."

I recalled the scene I saw when I passed by that alley. All traces of the incident had been cleaned up, and I could even feel a faint, lurking gaze.

Qi Xiuyuan's eyes flickered slightly as he turned on his computer and found the local news.

Shocking twist! Four youths die in robbery attempt; their target turns out to be a wanted criminal from another province?

"...Recently, a bizarre robbery case has shocked all sectors of society. According to the police report, four young men attempted to rob a pedestrian on the street. Unexpectedly, the seemingly harmless pedestrian was actually a cross-provincial fugitive who had been pursued by the police for a long time and had extremely strong counter-surveillance capabilities and self-defense skills."

"After receiving the report, the police quickly arrived at the scene and found that the four youths had lost vital signs. The wanted criminal escaped in the chaos. The police have activated the emergency plan and are making every effort to apprehend the wanted criminal. They are also appealing to the public for any clues..."

This news has absolutely no buzz; it's been overshadowed by celebrity gossip.

"As expected," Qi Xiuyuan sighed. "It seems there really is a department responsible for managing hybrids and handling hybrid incidents."

I just don't know if I'll find him, and if I do, what his attitude will be.

Thinking this, Qi Xiuyuan walked to the refrigerator, took out noodles and vegetables, and closed the kitchen door.

Soon, he returned to the living room wearing heat-resistant gloves and carrying a large pot of noodles. He sat down at the dining table, and the only sounds in the house could be heard from slurping noodles and chewing.

In less than ten minutes, a whole pot of noodles and soup, enough to feed a family of three, was gone.

For Qi Xiuyuan at this point, he was only half full.

"call……"

After cooking another pot of noodles and finishing off all the food stored in the house, Qi Xiuyuan finally exhaled a breath of hot air and rubbed his full stomach.

Then, after taking off his upper body clothes, his muscular physique, which he usually didn't see, was revealed, full of streamlined power, as he went to the gym he had prepared for himself.

Stainless steel horizontal bar, treadmill, exercise bike, and solid barbells of various sizes; a round black yoga mat is laid out in the center of the room.

However, when Qi Xiuyuan picked up the dumbbell, which weighed up to 40 kilograms, he subconsciously frowned.

It's not that it's too heavy, but rather that it's too light.

"Looks like we need to get a new one." Qi Xiuyuan sighed.

Previously, 40 kilograms would have been more than enough, but now it's not.

Although the Dragon Raja world doesn't have chakra like the Naruto world, chakra is a type of energy produced by the perfect fusion of various components of energy in the human body. Learning to refine chakra naturally means learning how to enhance and control physical and mental energy.

Currently, one can increase the upper limit of physical energy by training physical strength, but the way to increase mental energy is still unknown. Fortunately, Qi Xiuyuan, as a transmigrator, already has good mental energy.

The ninjutsu rewarded by the system is similar to experience, like the experience gained after a year of honing skills on the battlefield. If you want to master it further, you still need to practice.

However, the ninjutsu that originally required chakra to use has been transformed into being controlled by sensing elements through spiritual energy.

Unlike the hybrids who use incantations to invoke the Dragon King, he uses the "Nine-Character Paper Cutting Protection Technique," also known as "hand seals," to connect with the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind.

However, it's not as complicated as the Naruto world; it only requires one seal to use, functioning similarly to a "switch".

Qi Xiuyuan now possesses both fire and wind attribute "chakra talents," allowing him to sense the surrounding fire and wind elements. However, he currently only has "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique" and has not yet acquired wind release ninjutsu.

"I wonder which is stronger, the Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique I unleashed at full power or Chu Zihang's Monarch Flame," Qi Xiuyuan thought to himself.

Perhaps, we'll have the opportunity to verify that soon.
