Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 38: The Ninja World Should Play with Verbal Jutsu

[This world simulation has ended.]

[Review: The first step of a genius often ends in premature death.]

[Reward: Two simulation coins (current balance: 10B), one random talent (99% chance of getting garbage).]

Li Xiang's biggest complaint is not dying at the hands of Orochimaru, but rather why the beginning of the Leaf Village's collapse plan took place in Kirigakure.

In other words, if he wants to change his fate, he must participate in the Chunin Exam.

But fortunately, he has Uchiha Lang's disguise, so he can manipulate things once he arrives in Konoha.

Therefore, the most urgent matter is how to survive in Kirigakure.

It's no joke within the Bloody Mist before Terumi Mei takes the stage.

Li Xiang ponders for a moment and looks at the newly acquired talent.

[Water Monkey (E-rank): You have excellent water affinity and are difficult to drown.]

It's not very useful for a ninja, but it's quite useful in the main world.

If he encounters another attack from the Water Monkey a few days ago, he can jump into the sea to save his life.

Li Xiang picks up the book "Daiyuan Studies" from the bedside table.

As the foundation of a magician's knowledge, Daiyuan Studies is undoubtedly the most important book.

Daiyuan refers to the magic power in the atmosphere.

In contrast, Xiaoyuan refers to the magic power within the magician's body.

But in modern times, Daiyuan has become scarce.

Only a few places still maintain decent magic power, such as the Clock Tower.

A night passes without any words.

Li Xiang doesn't rush to do another simulation.

After all, there is plenty of time.

He opens the door and finds Astati, wearing a black off-the-shoulder T-shirt with a small vest, standing outside the door.

Her top reveals her slender waist and flat abdomen.

There is no excess fat, but rather a sense of strength.

"Aren't we going to the martial arts hall today?" Li Xiang asks when he sees that she is not wearing training clothes.

"Let's eat first, and then I'll teach you magic," Astati turns around and walks towards the restaurant.

Li Xiang's eyes light up. Is it finally time for real combat?

Breakfast consists of lean meat and preserved egg congee and five small steamed buns.

Very Chinese.

Li Xiang was initially worried about the so-called British cuisine.

After all, its reputation precedes it and is quite intimidating.

But in London, it's probably hard to avoid.

He can only hope that the Clock Tower is considerate enough to provide different meals for students, rather than just fish and chips.

Astati glances at him, seemingly guessing what he's thinking, and says, "If you want to eat Chinese food, then joining my teacher's school is your best choice. Because she and you come from the same place, and you can come over for a meal whenever you want."

"The same place?" Li Xiang shows a curious expression.

He doesn't remember any magician from the Clock Tower who specializes in Eastern magic.

Because according to the setting, Western and Eastern magic are completely different systems.

"Yes, my teacher will surprise you," Astati smiles and doesn't elaborate further.

Li Xiang can only suppress his curiosity and look forward to the so-called surprise.

After breakfast, the two of them arrive at an empty training room.

"There are barriers all around, so don't worry about magic going out of control," Astati takes out a red gem and says, "Magic can be divided into ancient magic and modern magic. However, due to the decline of Daiyuan, ancient magic is difficult to reproduce its power, so what we learn is modern magic."

Li Xiang nods.

He has read relevant introductions in the textbook.

It's a very simple distinction.

Modern magic mainly uses one's own magic power, while ancient magic uses the magic power in the atmosphere.

The difference in power between the two is like night and day.

Magicians who use ancient magic can leave their names in history as heroic spirits.

Like Medea.

The magician from the ancient times was summoned as a Caster servant in the Fifth Holy Grail War.

"Modern magic doesn't have so-called rankings."

Astati threw a ruby to Li Xiang and said, "You can use syllables as rankings. The longer the syllable, the more powerful it is. For example, the Yin Qi Bullet I'm about to teach you, it originates from an ancient curse in the Nordic region and has only one syllable."

The process of casting magic is somewhat similar to ninjutsu, but the hand seals are replaced with chanting.

Li Xiang held the ruby in his left hand and extended his right hand.

Because he had just opened his magic circuit, his magical power was insufficient and he could only rely on the magical power stored in the gem.

The magic circuit gradually lit up.

Li Xiang uttered a syllable.

A black, bullet-like oval-shaped magical energy suddenly flew out from his fingertips.

It quickly made contact with the wall.

The originally invisible barrier revealed a faint red light.

Li Xiang's magic instantly dissipated.

"To be able to successfully cast it on the first try, your talent is enough to rank among the top one hundred in the Clock Tower."

Astati praised him generously.

This sentence sounds familiar.

It seems to be used to evaluate Tohsaka Rin.

Li Xiang glanced at the gem in his hand, which was only slightly dimmed but not shattered.

It indicates that his Yin Qi Bullet is indeed weak.

According to the original work, the Yin Qi Bullet is a curse that can lower a person's physical functions, but if the magical density is high enough, it can produce a bullet-like effect.

Although increasing magical output density should not be a consideration for a beginner, with Senior Sister's gems, he can give it a try.

"Sister, can you give me more gems?"

Li Xiang asked somewhat embarrassedly.

In a sense, he was living off a rich woman.

"Frequent use of the magic circuit will have serious consequences. With your current level, you can only use it twenty times at most, and you won't be able to bear it."

Astati took out five rubies and said, "After using them all, continue studying the knowledge of a magician."

"Thank you, Sister."

Li Xiang felt quite lucky.

The sect was free from internal strife and was quite harmonious.

It seems that his Luck EX is not just limited to the simulator.

In the afternoon, Li Xiang realized that he had underestimated the pain caused by the magic circuit.

He felt as if his right arm was being continuously burned by flames.

It was a scorching pain.

Li Xiang thought for a moment, not in the mood to read, and turned on the simulator.

【Simulation start.】

【Age 0, you were born into the ordinary ninja clan of Kirigakure, and your father named you Sanmadairo.】

【Age 1, due to your physical condition, you could only be taken care of by others.】

【Age 2, you showed extraordinary intelligence, and your father began teaching you the basics of ninjutsu.】

【Age 3, you were admitted to the ninja school ahead of schedule and became a somewhat famous prodigy.】

【Age 4, you and Higurashi Mizuki were known as the twin stars of the ninja school and were hailed as the next generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.】

【Age 5, Orochimaru captured you and Higurashi Mizuki in Otogakure. Higurashi Mizuki was used for experiments, while you were forced to become Orochimaru's vessel and were beaten to death in the battle for a spot.】

【End of this world simulation.】

【Evaluation: Being too famous is not a good thing.】

【Reward: Two simulation coins (current balance: 11B), one random talent (99% chance of getting trash).】

"I have a grudge with Uchiha Itachi from the previous event, and now I have a grudge with Orochimaru."

Li Xiang shrugged.

Next time, either avoid Orochimaru's preference for collecting geniuses or try to persuade Orochimaru with words.

But considering the issue of the highest evaluation, he would definitely choose the latter.

So, should the ninja world play with words?

However, Orochimaru is harder to persuade than the young Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.

A single wrong word could lead to death.

【Indomitable Spirit (D-rank): Enter the next simulation, randomly lose an organ, but as a cost, you can carry two D-rank or E-rank talents.】

"Randomly lose an organ..."

Li Xiang scratched his head. There are some organs that absolutely cannot be lost.

This talent, Indomitable Spirit, comes from the reader master of Saint Yang Fish.
