Chapter 81: Departure
"How about vibration?"
"Huh? Vibration?"
Er Zhuzi looked puzzled.
"The density of Cyan Steel Shadow Energy is very high, and now that I can control it, I'm planning to make it vibrate to produce a powerful cutting effect."
The idea was good, but implementing it was extremely difficult.
"Very feasible. From what I understand, one advanced application of Wind Release chakra is vibrating the air to generate strong cutting power."
Acting on the thought, based on Er Zhuzi's verbal explanation of Wind Release chakra development methods, Su Xiao began to experiment.
Dragon-Slaying Flash appeared in his hand. Su Xiao attached a small amount of Cyan Steel Shadow Energy to its surface.
Focusing his mind on the energy coating the blade, he started attempting to manipulate it.
"Vibrate!"
The Cyan Steel Shadow Energy on Dragon-Slaying Flash's surface began to distort, with some parts even dispersing.
With a crackling sound, the energy scattered, and the experiment failed.
By now, Er Zhuzi had activated his Sharingan and was observing for Su Xiao.
"The vibration frequency is off. Every single energy particle must maintain the same frequency."
How many energy particles were in the Cyan Steel Shadow Energy on Dragon-Slaying Flash's surface? The answer was unknown—far too many to count.
Getting all those particles to vibrate at a single frequency was unimaginably difficult.
However, Su Xiao confirmed one thing: using vibration to make Cyan Steel Shadow Energy sharper was feasible. Though the implementation was tough, if successful, Dragon-Slaying Flash's lethality would increase dramatically.
He began trying, over and over again. No one becomes strong for no reason. Su Xiao's current strength was earned through countless brushes with death.
Eighteen hours passed quickly, and Er Zhuzi's summoning time was up.
"It's a pity I'm just a projection, not the real me."
Er Zhuzi suddenly spoke, startling Su Xiao.
"You know you're a projection?"
"Of course. I also know I'm Uchiha Sasuke simulated by Reincarnation Paradise. It's hard to explain, but if you ever come to my world, remember to find me. We might be able to cooperate."
Er Zhuzi's words only deepened Su Xiao's confusion.
"Why?"
"Because we share the same goal—revenge!"
Su Xiao shook his head.
"Our goals are different. I don't have a brother like yours."
Er Zhuzi frowned. His enemy was his brother, but the current Sasuke didn't yet know that his brother had given him the motivation and direction to grow, making him one of the three strongest people in the Naruto world.
Though Sasuke was weakened in the later Boruto series, the fact that he was once among the top three was undeniable.
In Su Xiao's view, the three strongest in the Naruto world were: Uchiha Madara (Six Paths Mode), and the late-stage Naruto and Sasuke.
As for Kaguya, that dazed beauty, she hardly counted as the strongest. She was like a new contractor with countless overpowered skills—strong abilities, but pitiful combat experience.
Leaving the training ground, Su Xiao returned to his exclusive room.
Back in his room, Su Xiao froze. He stood outside the door, closed it, and opened it again, suspecting he had entered the wrong place.
"Bubu!"
Su Xiao scanned the room, searching for Bubu Wang. There wasn't even space to stand in the exclusive room.
After searching for a while, Su Xiao couldn't find Bubu Wang. Bubu Wang's passive ability, "You Can't See Me," was no joke.
Staring at the cotton fluff covering the floor, Su Xiao stood in his now-uninhabitable exclusive room. Today, he was determined to find Bubu Wang.
At that moment, Bubu Wang was crouched on the chandelier, a hint of panic in his eyes. He had played too "enthusiastically," and by the time he came to his senses, the room was already in this state.
After over an hour of searching, Su Xiao still couldn't find Bubu Wang, which made his anger boil over.
"Come out."
Bubu Wang jumped down from the chandelier, seemingly aware of his mistake, and approached Su Xiao to act cute.
But Bubu Wang's Charm Attribute of 43 points met a crushing defeat with Su Xiao.
A large object suddenly appeared in Su Xiao's hand—a size 45 slipper, a reward from opening a Scarlet Card.
After the scare from the size 45 slipper, Bubu Wang had tears in his eyes. Bubu Wang's heart was bitter, but he said nothing.
Spending Paradise Coins to buy new furniture, Su Xiao also bought some snacks for Bubu Wang.
Bubu Wang was delighted with the snacks, occasionally glancing at a barbell in the room!
Dumbbells were no longer enough for Bubu Wang, so Su Xiao had switched to a weightlifting barbell.
The following days, Su Xiao spent in the arena. When his stay time was almost up, his Mana Points had mostly recovered. He used the recovered mana to create six special-grade alchemy bombs, temporarily setting aside the production of [Low-Grade Alchemy Elixir]. The special-grade bombs were more important; the elixirs could be made later.
[Hunter's stay time in Reincarnation Paradise has reached its limit.]
[Returning to the real world. Please remember the regulations of Reincarnation Paradise.]
[Under no circumstances may you disclose anything about Reincarnation Paradise in the real world. Violations will result in a warning; if ignored, execution will follow.]
...
[Teleportation begins. Destination: Real World.]
Rubbing the back of his head, Su Xiao found himself in his real-world villa.
He didn't enter Reincarnation Paradise through consciousness alone; his entire body entered. This meant he disappeared from the real world while inside, so he avoided too much contact with others.
Back in the real world, Su Xiao's gaze turned cold. He was ready to execute his revenge plan. Now, he had the strength for it.
Just then, Su Xiao felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint what.
"Woof!"
A dog bark rang out. Su Xiao was puzzled. He didn't keep a dog in the villa, so why was there a bark? And it sounded very familiar.
"Could it be..."
Su Xiao turned around, and Bubu Wang came into view!
Bubu Wang was no longer an Imperial Tool; he had become a true living being. When Su Xiao returned to the real world, as his follower, Bubu Wang also returned.
"This..."
Watching Bubu Wang start to frolic, a strange light flickered in Su Xiao's eyes.
Checking Bubu Wang's attributes, it was as he expected—Bubu Wang's aura ability was still active. His Health Points recovered by 1 point per second.
This was undoubtedly good news. In the real world, there were no recovery items; injuries meant going to the hospital or healing naturally.
But with Bubu Wang, even if Su Xiao suffered a fatal wound, he could gradually recover, though he still needed to treat the injury.
"Excellent. This makes the plan go even smoother."
Picking up his phone from the coffee table, Su Xiao hesitated for a moment before dialing a number.
"Hello, I'm Wei Dong."
"I'm Su Xiao."
Su Xiao was contacting the Scavenger organization—contractors in the real world working for the government. He needed to go abroad, and for someone like him, leaving the country was no small matter.
Su Xiao could choose not to help the country eliminate foreign contractors, but he couldn't sneak out of the country, especially since the Scavengers had given him a legal identity. Doing otherwise would be ungrateful.
"I need to go abroad."
Wei Dong on the other end of the line was startled, then his tone became enthusiastic.
"Where to? I'll arrange the fastest flight for you."
Su Xiao's attitude delighted Wei Dong. He thought to himself, 'Looks like our earlier investigation was right—this guy is indeed a law-abiding citizen.'
"I'm going to..."
