However, for now, it was still necessary to experience the true strength of Gen, who was borrowing external power.
First, he could engage in a hearty battle exchange with these fierce men, further stimulating the absorption of the medicinal effects within his body.
Second, he could use his Rinnegan and the Golden Dragon Spear fused into his body to absorb this strange energy for analysis.
Third, Lin Ran had an even more ambitious plan...
That was to use his own eyes to find the source that was continuously supplying energy to the Shimada brothers through the Divine Dragon Tattoo!
Although he didn't know what use it would be to find them yet, based on Lin Ran's intuition, it would definitely be very effective in the future...
"You can..."
"Now, you finally have me a little interested!"
"Come on!"
With a roar, Lin Ran, without dodging or evading, swung the Slaughter Undying Blade and charged towards the orange-yellow ninja spirits below.
Gen looked at Lin Ran, who was charging alone, somewhat surprised.
He had initially thought Lin Ran would adopt the same strategy as in the first battle against Turing, relying on elemental summonings to create a war of attrition.
But he didn't expect him to still adopt his usual reckless fighting style...
Heh, then pay a heavy price for your arrogance!
Gen was not polite. While issuing attack commands to the ninja spirits below, he also controlled the green dragon in the air for auxiliary attacks.
Now, with the help of some external force, although twelve ninja spirits and the Green Dragon Soul had indeed been summoned, they were not powered by Gen's main force, so the control over them was relatively weak.
Even Gen could only give them some relatively simple partial commands.
Fortunately, these two entities had very high individual combat intelligence, so he didn't have to worry too much about them.
Instead, because of this, he could focus more on operating his own main body.
Gen, who had been greatly empowered, held his divine blade and descended like a green meteor from the sky, leaving a long fiery tail, unleashing a powerful strike downwards at Lin Ran.
At this moment, Lin Ran had just entered the encirclement of the ninja spirits. He had exchanged less than three blows with them before being forcibly interrupted by Gen.
This naturally made him extremely displeased.
Because even in this brief exchange, Lin Ran could clearly perceive that the combat prowess of the ninja spirits was so high it could be considered an art form.
This was vastly different from Gen's approach, which relied on brute force and energy suppression due to his cheating means at such a young age.
They must have all been top-tier experts in their lives, or they had reached an unattainable peak in a certain field...
Otherwise, they could not have achieved this.
And the combat that could stimulate Lin Ran's growth the most was naturally this kind of technical and intelligent combat.
As the saying goes, having seen the vast sea, other waters are but rivers. With the foundation laid by the ninja spirits, looking at Gen, a pure idiotic brute who only knew how to crush with energy, Lin Ran had no interest whatsoever. He wished Gen wouldn't interrupt the rhythm.
But this guy, inexplicably lacking self-awareness, insisted on confronting him. Isn't that infuriating!
Since that's the case, if he doesn't teach him a good lesson, he truly won't know the immensity of the heavens and the earth!
With a cold expression, Lin Ran plunged the Slaughter Undying Blade into the ground, using the resulting shockwave to briefly hinder the ninja spirits' offense, while clasping his hands together, the markings in his Rinnegan spinning...
Shinra Tensei!
The 360-degree indiscriminate attack of Shinra Tensei exploded, not only repelling all the ninja spirits but also significantly slowing down Gen, who was continuously descending, and the green dragon hovering nearby, waiting for an opportunity.
Taking advantage of this moment when everyone was affected by him, Lin Ran directly pulled out a thick and hard spear from his pants.
Great God's Declaration: Spear of Destiny!
Raging Dragon Break!
A wild, untamed, and ferocious golden dragon energy filled the Spear of Destiny, shrouding it in a dazzling and imposing golden light.
Cosmic Throw!
After a brief aim, Lin Ran directly threw the Spear of Destiny towards Gen.
The sharpness of the spear wind pointed directly at his chest!
This was the first time Lin Ran had used the Spear of Destiny in this manner – if the previous arrow, which fused with divine artifacts to strengthen himself and turned the Spear of Destiny into a bow and arrow to blast Petray, was not counted.
As is widely known, the Spear of Destiny is an extremely special weapon.
Legend has it that it came from the main god Odin and possesses the most mysterious and bizarre causality attribute, guaranteeing a hit once the divine spear is thrown.
This is terrifying...
With this uncounterable attribute, many tricks could be played.
For example, the spear thrown by Lin Ran, filled with energy, was an ultimate test of the target's defense.
Due to its un-dodgeable nature, the only recourse against the Spear of Destiny was to block.
If the defense is insufficient, one would be instantly killed by the Spear of Destiny, without any room for negotiation, more terrifying than an overdue final exam.
Gen, who did not understand what the Spear of Destiny was, initially had the intention to dodge.
This was the biggest difference between him, an artificial warrior whose strength was boosted by borrowed power, and traditional masters like Petray.
Facing Lin Ran's Spear of Destiny transformed into an arrow, the moment the arrow left his hand, Petray's strong intuition told him that Lin Ran's attack was impossible to dodge.
As a result, Gen was surprised to find that no matter how he blinked, changed direction, dodged, or hid, he could not shake off the Spear of Destiny.
The Spear of Destiny seemed to be stuck to him, constantly reducing the distance during its flight – and this distance was a percentage of true damage.
This meant that if the distance between Gen and the Spear of Destiny was 10 meters, the Spear of Destiny might fly one meter per second.
If the distance between Gen and the Spear of Destiny was 100 meters, the Spear of Destiny would fly 10 meters per second.
No matter how he increased the distance, changed direction, hid his tracks, or concealed his aura, the Spear of Destiny would accurately hit him at the end of a predetermined time period.
Idiot! I can't dodge it!
Before Gen, who was already sweating cold from this strange power, could find a solution, the tip of the Spear of Destiny had already reached his front.
"Waga tame ni arugato" (Thank you for fighting for me)!
Seeing that the situation was dire and deciding to go all out, Gen decisively activated his ultimate move, wielding the divine blade formed by his borrowed power and meeting the attack, slashing fiercely at the tip of the Spear of Destiny.
