In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. During this week of cultivation, Ye Chen's overall strength had increased significantly.
If he were to fight with Hatsuki Shuomei again, at least he wouldn't be completely crushed in terms of strength.
However, there was still quite a gap between the two of them. Ye Chen did not dare to relax and continued to cultivate desperately every day.
Now that he was more familiar with the Thunderclap Fruit, his speed had increased by another level. He was confident that his speed could definitely rank in the top three among Muye and Ninja Realm.
The reason why he was not first was because Ye Chen did not know how fast the third-generation Thunder Shadow was.
No matter what, this third generation Thunder Shadow was the person who had brought the Thunder God Armor to greater heights. His speed was definitely not to be underestimated.
What he had improved a lot in the past few days was the range of the Mind Net. This move itself had improved rapidly. Even Ainilu's half-baked strength could directly monitor the entire Sky Island from more than ten kilometers away.
Ye Chen's talent in this area was not bad either. He could now monitor a two-kilometer radius.
This range was not inferior to the perception divine artifact White Eyes at all.
He hadn't received any notifications from the system in the past few days, so he knew that at least Jingyin wasn't dead. Then, he still had a chance to obtain the mental time room.
However, he couldn't figure out why Tanzang would keep a two-year-old girl since Kato Duan was already dead.
Then, Ye Chen recalled that in the original novel, Kato Seki seemed to have died early, but there was no problem with the mute. Instead, it was taken away by Tsunei.
It seemed that Silent Voice's fate would be the same as the original novel. Her life would probably not be in danger.
Other than the silent situation, Ye Chen did not forget to patrol. With the Mental Network, he kept an eye on the surroundings to see if there were any Sanin troops.
This choice was related to Shen Wei, so he was still more concerned.
He had already made up his mind. If he did not encounter any enemies in the last three days, he would take the initiative to search for them. No matter what, he had to grasp the divine might.
Just as he was about to begin today's cultivation, he felt that he had gotten what he wanted.
Ye Chen noticed something unusual in his Mind Web.
The sound of a few heartbeats could be heard from below the ground. It was obvious that someone was using the Earth Evasion Technique to move through the depths of the ground!
These people were not simple. They were about 400 meters underground, which was almost a blind spot for most perception-type ninjas.
Moreover, if one did not have extremely high attainments in earth movement, they would have long been crushed to death by the terrifying pressure in the surroundings.
This meant that this unit had been specially selected!
" Looks like my target has appeared…"
To be so skilled at earth movement at the borders of the Wind Country, this was most likely the army of the Sand Ninja!
They were unlucky to have encountered Ye Chen. Ye Chen's Psychic Nets had no blind spots. He could sense clearly even if it was two kilometers underground!
Deep underground, a few ninjas wearing sand ninjas were holding their breaths as they moved forward.
Their goal this time was to investigate the patrol routes at Muye's border and the logistics transportation routes of the entire border troops.
This was extremely important for the upcoming war, so they had specially selected each of them to be a ninja who specialized in earth movement.
This was to achieve the goal of sneaking in secretly. The entire Hidden Sand Village placed great importance on this operation, so they did not dare to make any mistakes. Everyone was extremely careful, and no one talked to each other to avoid revealing any clues.
This time, their journey was very smooth. According to the map in their memories, they should have crossed the border and arrived in the Fire Country!
Suddenly, a large blue light pillar fell from the sky.
The lightning-like pillar of light instantly turned the soil into a liquid like lava, and then attacked downwards without any reduction in its momentum!
This light beam actually went hundreds of meters deep into the ground! Fortunately, Lightning's voice was quite loud, and the group of sand ninjas quickly dodged when they heard it.
They moved very slowly underground, so if they wanted to avoid this pillar of light, they had to leave the ground. Otherwise, the only fate awaiting them was death!
On the ground, a row of sand ninjas finally jumped out in order to dodge.
At this moment, they understood that they had been exposed.
In front of them stood a man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old. He had a head of black hair and a short knife at his waist.
Ye Chen looked at the five people in front of him and thought that these people still had some brains. They knew to escape to the surface.
Otherwise, they would definitely die under his previous move.
This was the Divine Punishment that Ainilu had used before. As it did not require any form of movement, Ye Chen had mastered it.
The five sand ninjas in front of him were not weak. There was actually a shadow level expert! Ye Chen would never mistake the Chakra amount that was on par with Qimu Shuomo!
The chakras of the other four were also at the Jounin level.
Since the enemy had appeared, Ye Chen had no intention of catching up. The two countries were now enemies, not allies.
The five people from the sand were also experienced in combat. They knew that they had been exposed and immediately got into formation.
The four Jounins immediately stepped forward, and the Shadow-level powerhouse retreated to the back, seemingly protected.
Then, the shadow-level sand ninja took out ten scrolls. After opening them, he formed a seal with his hands and slapped them on the scrolls.
In the next moment, ten puppets made of wood appeared. They wore white coats and each held a different weapon!
When Ye Chen saw this scene and the red hair of the Shadow-rank Sand Ninja, he immediately thought of the Puppet Master Crimson Sand Scorpion, who later became famous in the Ninja World!
"Could it be Scorpion's father?"
With that thought, Ye Chen realized that this Shadow Grade Sand Ninja's appearance was indeed somewhat similar to Scorpion.
After searching through his memories, Ye Chen knew the identity of the person in front of him.
"Bunza Shiro is the son of the current elder Bunza Chiyo. He is also the new generation genius of the entire Sanin. He has been guarding the border and has fought with Hatsuki Shuoguo many times, and he has never been at a disadvantage!”
Ye Chen did not expect to meet such a big fish. Bunza Shiro was the boss of the Sanin border troops. If he killed him, Ye Chen's status in Muye would rise.
Now that he knew the enemy's identity, Ye Chen was not afraid at all. Instead, he could take this opportunity to test the results of his cultivation.
On the other side, Bunza Shiro could not help but look down on Ye Chen when he realized that Ye Chen's chakra was only at the level of a special Jounin.
However, he was a veteran on the battlefield after all. He knew that he was deep in the enemy's territory. Even if the opponent's strength was not good, he had to do his best to end the battle quickly. Otherwise, if he was surrounded, he would definitely die.
"Attack!"
As he shouted, the four Jounin formed a seal first.
Meanwhile, Bunza Shiro controlled his imitation of his mother's masterpiece. The thousand hands and ten people he created attacked Ye Chen, buying time for his teammates to form seals!
