Konoha's task master

In the laboratory, Yakumo recalled the information explained by Long.

What is certain now is that Shanks is very strong. He is stronger because of his mastery and quantity of overlord-colored domineering energy, and because of his unparalleled kingly spirit.

If it's this strong...

Yakumo felt that the problem was not a big one. He was confident of defeating Shanks. After all, the Soul Soul Fruit gave him strong resistance to Overlord's Haki.

In the laboratory, Reed has woken up and is stretching his waist.

"This is the most comfortable sleep I've had in the past few years."

"Are you going to activate the recessive gene today?" Yakumo asked.

"Of course, I only have ten days."

Reed's words coincided with Long's. It seemed that he did carry some kind of mission, a rather urgent mission.

Yakumo had no choice but to take out the reagent from the storage scroll. Over the years, the activation progress of his Devil Fruit had reached 40%.

Yakumo only improved him by 3% for the first time.

After this strengthening, based on his reaction, the subsequent strengthening progress will be carefully adjusted.

"Get ready." Yakumo said, then took out the reagent and injected it.

As Yakumo waved his hand, the bloody tree vines restrained Reed's body and threw him directly outside the laboratory, falling heavily to the ground.

The bloody vines are no longer restricted and spread out quickly.

Dense gray hair grew on the surface of Reed's body, like a hard rock. His body continued to grow in size, and two canine teeth squeezed out of the lips at the corners of his mouth, which looked very sharp.

Reed gradually moved closer to the gray giant ape. The hair all over his body was like steel needles standing on end, and his height increased to about four meters. His clothes were torn by the sudden increase in size, and even his large cloak became tattered.

There seems to be some kind of energy deep in the earth, which gathers from the ground and flows through Reed's body like a stream, constantly tempering his body and steadily increasing his physical strength.

Hoo, ho, ho...

The gray giant ape made a deep breathing sound, and the muscles all over its body exuded the black light of steel, looking as if they were indestructible.

Oh, the breeze is blowing.

The dragon, whose entire body was wrapped in a dark green cloak, appeared at the door of the laboratory and looked at Reid with curiosity.

He believed that Reed was not in danger.

In the laboratory, Yakumo opened his soul eyes.

Deep in Reed's mind, two wills were at war.

At this moment, Reed had the absolute upper hand. What really made him feel strange was the connection between Reed and the earth.

Borrow the energy of the earth to strengthen your body.

Is the occurrence of this situation related to Reed's physique, or... is it related to the fruit of the Stone Mountain Giant Ape?

If it is related to the fruit, then...is the Shiyue Giant Ape form really just an ordinary animal type?

Dadi has a very high level of ability.

At the age of eighteen, the activation level is 40%.

"Reed and the Stone Mountain Giant Ape have a very high degree of compatibility."

Only... this conclusion can explain why Reed gained the upper hand in the battle of wills so quickly. Even the will of the Devil Fruit has a shyness that wants to resist but welcomes, just like a bird's beloved wife.

After a few minutes, the hair on Reed's body gradually disappeared. The battle of wills had already been decided, and his body was shrinking rapidly... revealing his astonishingly curved, pink and white buttocks.

Long's face changed slightly and he suppressed his smile.

He took off his cloak and put it on Reed.

A few seconds later, Reed slowly woke up. He immediately felt some unfettered freedom in his body, and then... he carefully tightened his clothes.

"Come in." Yakumo said.

Reed used the tattered clothes on the ground as much as possible to cover his burly body, and carefully sat down opposite Yakumo.

“How does reinforcement feel?”

"It stands to reason...it's like having a very comfortable sleep."

Reed thought for a moment and gave an unreliable answer.

"Does it feel too simple? You have a good talent."

"Thank you Yakumo-sama for the compliment."

Yakumo reopened his soul eyes and observed carefully.

The fusion of Reed's Devil Fruit abilities was very successful, and the soul energy was transformed into slender tentacles, which invaded Reed's body... After careful inspection from the inside out, no trace of the Devil Fruit's will was found.

This is simply a miracle.

Yakumo drew another tube of Reed's blood and continued to use the life mastering skill to strengthen the base genes. At the same time, he separated a shadow clone to adjust the other two reagents.

"The progress this time is ten percent. If you have a strong will, you should be able to reach the level of super-awakening in ten days." Yakumo said.

Long asked with some worry.

"Brother Yakumo, isn't this a little too impatient?"

"The compatibility between Reed and Shiyue's giant ape form is very high, and there will be basically no threshold before super-awakening."

"The only problem is super awakening." Yakumo explained.

"Is this what is called genius?"

"This is... something destined by nature."

Long asked with some doubts about life. "Where is your destiny?"

"It can probably be understood as having a special physique."

Reed blushed beside him and scratched his head.

"I am really envious of ordinary people like me." Yakumo said.

"You...ordinary person?"

Long was very surprised and took a deep breath unconsciously.

"I am mediocre in both body and soul."

"Tsk, tsk, I suddenly want to hit someone."

"Let's go, go directly outside the laboratory this time."

In one day, Reed's activation progress increased by 20%, which is equivalent to more than ten years of progress for ordinary people, and the integration was very successful, with no trace of animal will left.

That evening Reed's activation level reached 60%.

Then several people dispersed and returned to their respective resting places.

Yakumo finally had time to submit the task and spoke softly.

"Submit task."

〖Tips: Player’s final mission completion: 230%〗

〖Tip: Congratulations to the player for winning 100,000 gold coins.〗

〖Create happiness with heart and wish players a happy game.〗

Yakumo looked at the rapidly increasing balance of gold coins in the corner of his vision, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, from a smile to a grin.

Fortunately...he controlled himself in time and didn't make a sound.

After deducting the expenses of these few days...

Current balance: 180,000 gold coins.

This also means that the Soul Soul Fruit can be super-awakened today without any danger, except for pain for a period of time at most.

With a flash of golden light, Yakumo appeared in the deep sea.

The surroundings were pitch black, with a few air bubbles occasionally billowing, and a huge shadow swimming silently underfoot. It was some kind of sea king that looked like a huge whale.

Yakumo formed the hardest blood cocoon with wooden escape objects, completely wrapped his body, suspended quietly in the deep sea, and summoned the game panel.

Soul Soul Fruit·Awakening "Breakthrough"

Yakumo did not hesitate and broke through lightly.

〖Tip: This process requires the consumption of 160,000 gold coins. Since the amount of gold coins spent is huge and the improvement process is irreversible, players should consider it carefully.〗

"Yes or no"

"Yes." Yakumo said without any hesitation.

All those 160,000 gold coins turned into a torrent and poured into the deepest part of Yakumo's brain, which is the space where his soul resides.

This strengthening is like spring water, moistening things silently.

Yakumo can feel that his soul is expanding, which should be said to be an endless upward transformation. He can clearly feel that his soul has become empty and clear, and the impurities in the soul are being removed.

Gradually, Yakumo lost his sense of the body, and all that was left in front of him was the extremely huge soul body, which looked like a giant baby.

The surface occasionally flashes a silvery sheen.

This baby is growing rapidly, and its face is gradually maturing, gradually approaching Yakumo's appearance, until the silver brilliance emanating from its body becomes dazzling, and silver armor grows on the surface of the incarnation of the soul.

With a bang, Yakumo's soul body changed position again and appeared under the huge silver waterfall. The powerful water flow washed away Yakumo's soul body, and the gray impurities quickly escaped from the soul body.

It was like countless falling hammers, beating his soul body, making it stronger and possessing certain magical qualities.

As time went by, the intensity of the water flow did not weaken. Instead, Yakumo's soul gradually became weaker, but the luster of the soul became more dazzling, like a silver comet.

Five days later, Yakumo's soul was completely shattered, turned into silver light all over the sky, and reunited at the top of the waterfall.

When his soul energy returned to its peak state, his soul body reappeared at the lower end of the silver waterfall, and the wash continued.

It's like a cycle that keeps repeating itself.

Quench and remove impurities.

This process makes the soul as hard as steel, transforming the void soul energy into a physical weapon that can interfere with reality.

Thousands of times tempered.

Many years later, Yakumo's soul body turned into silver, exuding an immortal brilliance, which was not dazzling but could not be ignored.

The surrounding scene gradually fragmented, the roar of water hitting the rocks gradually disappeared from Yakumo's ears, and the time in front of him became dim.

The soul body breaks away from that space and quickly returns to its original body.

Yakumo opened his eyes, and everything in front of him became colorful.

〖Tip: Congratulations to the player for getting four points of intelligence attribute improvement.〗

Currently, Intelligence attribute: 87.5.

〖Tips: Congratulations to the player for obtaining the skills Soul Forbidden and Soul Control.〗

Yakumo digested the numerous memories in his mind, both of which were two brand new skills derived from the Soul Soul Fruit.

Soul confinement is the use of soul energy to suppress everything around you, including but not limited to devil fruit abilities, various domineering auras, and various physical skills.

In short, it is to suppress things with absolute soul energy.

Soul control compresses the soul energy into some kind of physical weapon, and then uses special means to penetrate the enemy's body and detonate it.

Use the soul as a hidden weapon to carry out sneak attacks.

Extremely concealed and fast, making it difficult to detect.

Yakumo estimated that the strength of these two skills should be extremely high, but it was a pity that there was currently a lack of enemies to test them on.

"Yuhun, it seems that I can try it out now."

He gently pushed his right palm forward, and the invisible soul energy gathered in the palm of his hand. Starting from the center, it was compressed. The soul energy was gradually compressed into a crystal between virtuality and reality.

It spins rapidly, like a cannonball ready to go.

This is Soul Control, using the power of the soul as the sharpest spear.

A few seconds later, Yakumo waved his hand slightly, and the crystal dissipated and turned into pure soul energy again and merged into the soul.

Soul control, soul confinement.

Of course, in addition to these two skills, the super-awakened state of the Soul Soul Fruit also gives Yakumo other changes, more precise manipulation, more complex compression, and more majestic soul energy.

As Yakumo thought, the sea fish a few meters away seemed to be held by an invisible big hand and quickly moved towards Yakumo's direction.

If you add several times more soul power, you can crush the sea fish directly. The invisible soul hand can also be regarded as an improvement this time.

Yakumo dispersed the power of his soul, and the sea fish immediately ran away at an extremely fast speed, as if it was avoiding some kind of terrible devil.

Next, he began to test using soul energy to propel himself to move quickly, first trying deep sea movement.

Whoosh, the blood-colored wooden cocoon disappeared instantly, and the surrounding seawater was directly knocked out of the void. A spiral submarine current was formed with the wooden cocoon as the center, and the surrounding area was filled with the sound of the seawater being rapidly split.

After a few seconds, Yakumo changed direction.

"Start to the sky!"

The blood cocoon breaks through the air, carrying a water column hundreds of meters high. The speed of flying with soul energy is no less than flying with physical body.

Moreover, Yakumo discovered that the two states can be fused.

The blood cocoon is lifted, Yakumo activates the power of physical flight, and the soul energy wraps the whole body like gauze, and is like a flowing spring.

When the physical flight ability is activated, the two forces jointly promote the consumption of flight, which also directly increases his flight speed.

The strong wind spread around my ears, and the clouds were scattered by my body.

At this moment, Yakumo is truly free.

If the lightning power is activated, the flying speed can be increased, but it is not in a combat state now, so there is no need to expend the energy in the body in a big way.

After trying the pleasure of flying at high speed for a few seconds, Yakumo turned into golden light and returned to the bedroom.

But he was so excited that he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Subconsciously click on the game interface.

initiative:

Soul Soul Fruit·Second Awakening "Breakthrough"

At this moment, Yakumo completely lost his sleepiness and pointed to the word breakthrough behind the soul fruit with some uncertainty.

"Tip: This breakthrough requires 320,000 gold coins."

"Tip: The player has insufficient gold coins and cannot break through."

These words represent the super-awakening defined by Yakumo, which is not the limit of Soul Soul Fruit. There is a whole new realm beyond this.

At this time, Yakumo couldn't help but look forward to reaching a higher level.

How beautiful will the scenery be at that time?

"Phew, enter the arena."

Yakumo spoke softly. At this moment, the Soul Soul Fruit awakened for the second time, and the intelligence attribute increased by a full four points again, reaching the level of eighty-seven points.

Coupled with the two abilities of soul confinement and soul control...

He is confident that he can pass the eighth floor of the arena.

The vision in front of Yakumo's eyes was distorted and deformed. Yakumo was in the center of the desolate and endless arena. The somewhat haggard bald old man drew out the staff and sword in front of him.

"The beginning of the solution: all things are reduced to ashes."

"The flowing blade is like fire!"

The surrounding temperature instantly became hot and the heat wave rolled in.

That's right, Yakumo was made to shut himself up several times and burned to a coke.

The BOSS on the eighth floor of the arena is Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

Once the god of death's fighting power, the ceiling.
