After eating a Spirit Transformation Fruit, Shin felt refreshed from head to toe.
He immediately turned his attention to the Evolution Points.
With these 100 Evolution Points, he could finally awaken his Sharingan today.
“System, Physique +1.” “Ding-dong.
Ten Evolution Points consumed.
Current Physique: 10.” Shin’s entire body trembled.
A ball of fire seemed to ignite inside him, spreading through every muscle and bone.
When his Physique reached 10, he could clearly feel the difference.
It was like crossing an invisible boundary; his physical strength surged to an entirely new level.
The heat gradually faded.
Then came a strange sensation in his eyes.
Sour.
Numb.
Itchy.
The feeling grew stronger by the second, forcing Shin to rub his eyes.
“Ah!” A sharp pain suddenly stabbed through both eyes.
Shin immediately covered them, gritting his teeth as he fought to endure it.
The pain kept climbing until it reached its peak.
“Ahhhhh!” He threw his head back and let out a long roar.
When he finally lowered his head, his pupils were no longer the ordinary black and white they had been before.
A crimson glow filled his eyes.
Scarlet irises emerged, each bearing a single black tomoe.
The Sharingan had awakened.
As the pain slowly subsided, Shin bent forward and sucked in several deep breaths.
Sweat rolled down his cheeks, yet a smile gradually spread across his face.
He had finally done it.
The moment his Sharingan activated, the world around him changed.
Everything suddenly became incredibly clear, as though someone had turned the visual quality of reality all the way up.
Dust particles floating in the air.
The fine patterns on the trees visible through the cracks in the window.
Buildings standing in the distance.
Every detail was sharp enough for him to make out clearly.
“So this is the Sharingan’s visual ability.” Shin stared at his surroundings, amazed.
“If my eyesight was five before, it’s probably fifty now.
No wonder Ninja with the Sharingan are so much stronger than ordinary Ninja.
Just this visual ability alone makes it difficult for many opponents to escape their eyes.” He lowered his head and examined his own body.
The Sharingan couldn’t see through his meridians and acupoints the way the Byakugan could, but he could still perceive the density and general flow of Chakra within his body.
Right now, the area around his Dantian looked like a burning furnace, with streams of energy flowing from it toward the meridians connected to his eyes.
Shin’s eyes narrowed.
If he could see these changes during battle, the advantage would be enormous.
The instant an opponent activated their Chakra or began preparing a Ninjutsu, he would be able to observe the changes in their body.
With enough experience, he could predict their movements before they even acted.
As expected of the Sharingan.
This ability alone was already beyond what ordinary Ninja could compare with.
“Ding-dong.
Congratulations to the host for awakening the Sharingan.
Current stage: One-Tomoe.
Talent activated: Amaterasu.” “What?” Shin froze.
For a moment, he wondered if he had heard the System incorrectly.
He hurriedly opened the talent section of the System Panel and checked it again.
There it was.
A brand-new ability had appeared.
Amaterasu — Level 1.
Shin’s eyes widened.
“A talent activated with only one tomoe, and it’s actually this kind of heaven-defying black flame?” Amaterasu: Undying black flames that incinerate all things in heaven and earth.
As long as the target exists, the black flames will never cease.
(Note: Power is determined by the amount of energy supplied by the user.
Can be upgraded.) “This is heaven-defying.
Even a Chunin could be killed instantly if he’s careless.
I just don’t know how much energy it consumes.” Shin had no intention of testing it right now.
His attention was still on his attributes.
His Spirit and Physique had both reached 10 points.
As long as he raised his Strength to 10 as well, all three attributes would meet the conditions for activating the Byakugan.
He was also curious whether awakening the Byakugan bloodline would grant him another talent.
He immediately acted.
His current Strength was only 4 points.
“System, add all Evolution Points to Strength.” “Ding-dong.
Ninety Evolution Points consumed.
Current Strength: 13.” Boom!
Shin’s muscles swelled across his entire body as a violent surge of power flooded through him.
The veins beneath his skin bulged and twisted like tiny snakes.
“Ah!” The sudden increase in strength was too much for his body to handle.
Nine points.
That was a massive leap, equivalent to an increase of 450 jin of strength.
Every muscle seemed to be tearing apart under the pressure.
Shin clenched his teeth and endured the pain, forcing his body to adapt bit by bit.
Half an hour passed.
With a final roar, the swollen muscles throughout Shin’s body slowly settled back down.
But his body had changed.
He had grown five centimeters taller, and his frame was noticeably broader and sturdier.
“Ahhh!” Another roar escaped his throat.
His left eye glowed with the scarlet light of the one-tomoe Sharingan.
His right eye, however, went through a strange transformation.
For a moment, it was pitch black.
Then it gradually turned white.
The change continued until the entire pupil became pure white, with a brilliant silver point of light shining at its center.
The Byakugan had fully awakened.
Shin swept his right eye across the room.
The world changed.
Walls and other obstacles became almost transparent beneath his gaze.
His vision pierced through barriers and reached far into the distance.
Shin roughly estimated that he could clearly see objects nearly one kilometer away.
If he concentrated his mental power and focused on a specific direction, that range could extend to roughly three kilometers.
And the Byakugan’s vision wasn’t limited to what lay directly in front of him.
It provided a full 360-degree field of vision with no blind spots.
Within a one-kilometer radius, there was nowhere for an enemy to hide.
Just this ability alone was already terrifying.
The agony he had endured was worth it.
“Ding-dong.
Congratulations to the host for activating the Byakugan.
Current stage: One-Turn Byakugan.
Talent activated: Space Compression.” Space Compression: Within a one-meter radius, all matter can be subjected to Space Compression force, doubling its power.
(Note: This talent can be upgraded.) “It really did activate another talent.” Shin stared at the description, his eyes gleaming.
“And it’s related to space.” Just from the name alone, he could tell that this talent was far from ordinary.
Doubling the power might not sound particularly impressive.
Compared with some powerful Ninjutsu, it might even seem mediocre.
But what if he combined it with another ability?
What kind of scene would unfold when the two forces were stacked together?
Moreover, both Amaterasu and Space Compression were only Level 1.
If he upgraded them by several levels, what kind of terrifying power would they possess?
Another thought suddenly occurred to Shin.
Could talents also increase through proficiency, just like skills?
“Ding-dong.
Host, please note that talent abilities can only be upgraded using Evolution Points.
Upgrading from Level 1 to Level 2 requires 1,000 Evolution Points.
Each subsequent level requires five times the Evolution Points of the previous level.” Shin froze.
So talents couldn’t be upgraded by simply practicing them.
He had to spend Evolution Points.
Level 1 to Level 2 required 1,000 points.
Level 2 to Level 3 would require 5,000.
Level 3 to Level 4 would require 25,000.
And the cost would continue multiplying.
Shin’s expression slowly darkened.
“Isn’t this just milking a sheep until there’s nothing left?” The Evolution Points he’d finally accumulated were almost nothing compared to the cost of upgrading his talents.
One thousand for the first upgrade was already outrageous.
What about the levels after that?
Where was he supposed to get that many Evolution Points?
