Chapter 006: First in the Taijutsu Ranking, Rewarded with a Millennium Dragon Essence, Everyone Goes Crazy!
Taijutsu Ranking, Second Place: Ultra Instinct, User: Ye Tian
Everyone was no longer surprised; they found it quite normal. After all, in their eyes, this mysterious person named Ye Tian was undoubtedly a Taijutsu specialist. His mastery in Taijutsu had reached an unimaginable level, and it was only natural for him to possess even more powerful Taijutsu techniques.
Might Guy: "As expected, it's him again. It looks like the first place in the Taijutsu ranking is also his."
Third Hokage: "The current number one in Taijutsu in the ninja world seems to belong to Ye Tian!"
Uchiha Madara: "So that's the Taijutsu ranking. When will the power rankings be announced? I want to show the world that I am the strongest!"
Hashirama Senju: "Madara, are you looking to be beaten by me again?"
Soon, the livestream showed Ye Tian practicing Ultra Instinct, but he still wore a mask, obscuring his true appearance.
This scene took place in a lightning field, where countless bolts of lightning fell from the sky, covering the entire area.
Ye Tian appeared among the lightning, his hair turning into silver-white strands, and his entire body glowing with a silver-white light that enveloped him.
He moved effortlessly between the bolts of lightning, no matter how fast they were, they couldn't touch him at all.
Ordinary ninjas couldn't perceive anything extraordinary, but people like Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju could see the terrifying nature of this Taijutsu technique.
Hashirama Senju: "Such incredible reflexes! This must be the result of using every muscle and body part to its utmost, pushing Taijutsu beyond its limits. With reflexes like this, it's nearly impossible to land a hit on him."
Tobirama Senju: "With such Taijutsu, this person has already become invincible!"
Uchiha Madara: "How can such Taijutsu exist in this world?"
Uchiha Madara was deeply apprehensive. Although he had previously admitted that Ye Tian's Taijutsu was extremely terrifying—if hit by him, even he might be severely injured—strong Taijutsu alone only offered the hope of killing him but didn't necessarily make Ye Tian a match for him.
After all, he wasn't just an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan user like the outside world thought; he possessed the Rinnegan. Once revived and with his Rinnegan in hand, he believed he still had a chance to defeat a pure Taijutsu specialist like Ye Tian.
But now, seeing Ultra Instinct's terrifying reflexes and evasion capabilities showed him the extent of Ye Tian's control over his own power.
Once Ye Tian used this Taijutsu, his reflexes wouldn't just be unparalleled—his strength would also surge, significantly boosting his power.
Even someone as proud as Madara had to admit that he probably couldn't defeat Ye Tian.
In the Village Hidden in Sound, Orochimaru watched Ye Tian's perfect physique with a greedy expression.
"If I could seize that body, I wouldn't have to keep switching bodies every so often. My power would even skyrocket!"
Orochimaru thought. However, it was only a thought. He couldn't defeat Ye Tian, and if he encountered him, he'd likely be instantly killed.
"The Golden List, this mysterious treasure—maybe with its help, I can go even further."
However, there was currently only a Taijutsu ranking, and since he wasn't proficient in Taijutsu, he couldn't enter this ranking or gain any benefits from it. He could only wait for the Golden List to announce more rankings.
Soon, the first place in the Taijutsu ranking was revealed, marking the end of all positions on this ranking. The next update would be a year later.
Taijutsu Ranking, First Place: Body of Pangu (Incomplete), User: Ye Tian
When this was announced, everyone was dumbfounded. An incomplete Taijutsu technique had taken first place—how terrifying must it be?
Third Hokage: "The Body of Pangu, this must be a Taijutsu technique that Ye Tian is developing. Just in its incomplete state, it's already been ranked first by the Golden List. I can't imagine what it will be like once it's completed!"
Uchiha Madara: "This person is too dangerous. His goal might be to rule the ninja world; we must find him and eliminate him now."
Hashirama Senju: "Madara, isn't that your goal too?"
Izuna Uchiha: "My brother is right; this person is too dangerous and must be eliminated!"
Kakashi: "This person hasn't shown any signs of threatening the ninja world. You can't just decide to kill him because he's powerful."
Might Guy: "If Ye Tian has mastered Taijutsu to such a profound level, he must love youth just like I do. He can't be a bad person."
Fourth Raikage: "Ye Tian, come out and say something. If you keep hiding, who would believe you have no ulterior motives?"
However, Ye Tian remained silent throughout.
Since the Body of Pangu was incomplete, the livestream did not show any related scenes.
And with that, the Taijutsu ranking was fully revealed.
Next came the rewards. Although many ninjas weren't listed on the Taijutsu ranking, they were still curious about what benefits the Golden List would bestow.
At this moment, the Golden List presented an image of a treasure in the livestream, along with a brief introduction.
Taijutsu Ranking, First Place Reward: A Millennium Dragon Essence, formed within the body of a dragon. It can refine the physique, enhance strength, and increase lifespan by a thousand years!
Seeing this reward, everyone lost their composure. A thousand years of lifespan—who wouldn't go crazy over that?
In the ninja world, longevity has always been something humans deeply desired. Unlike the Sages of the Three Great Lands, Tailed Beasts, or Summoned Beasts, human lifespans are short. Even the Sage of the Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki had lifespans only slightly longer than ordinary people; they couldn't live forever.
Hashirama Senju: "Oh my god, a thousand years of lifespan! If I had the Dragon Blood Essence back then, I probably wouldn't have died!"
He had exhausted his life force after battling Uchiha Madara, and not long after returning, he passed away.
Uchiha Madara: "A thousand-year lifespan... If I had it..."
White Snake Sage: "Ye Tian, I'm willing to trade anything for the Dragon Blood Essence. Are you interested in making a deal?"
Mei Terumi: "Ye Tian, I'm willing to trade myself for the Dragon Blood Essence. Can you give it to me?"
Tsunade: "Fifth Mizukage, you really have no shame!"
Mei Terumi: "Who cares about face? If I had a thousand-year lifespan, I could stay young forever, unlike your fake appearance maintained by secret techniques!"
Tsunade: "Who are you calling fake? I'll kill you with one punch!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, the Fourth Raikage, the Third Tsuchikage... countless ninjas were eager to snatch this Dragon Blood Essence. After all, once obtained, the strength boost would be secondary; the key was living for a thousand years—who wouldn't want that?
Buzz!
The image of the Dragon Blood Essence disappeared, taken by Ye Tian.
Soon, the reward for second place was revealed!
