Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Combat is the Fastest Way to Level Up
"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sasuke clasped his hands together, veins bulging on his face as his chakra was consumed at an alarming rate.
However, even so, without activating Sage Mode, the formation speed of the Wood Dragon was excessively slow.
Not only that, but its size was also far from satisfactory.
It was clearly too difficult to execute this technique successfully without Sage Mode.
After dispersing the Wood Dragon, Sasuke carefully contemplated the "Wood Release: World Tree Descent."
This might be the most fundamental Wood Release technique. Perhaps he really should start by learning this technique to better grasp other Wood Release techniques.
With this thought, Sasuke retrieved the Scroll of Seals stored in his wrist guard.
"It doesn't matter if I add one more technique or not!"
"Let's try it right now!"
For Sasuke, learning ninjutsu wasn't particularly challenging, even when it came to the secret techniques of Kekkei Genkai.
After a few simple attempts:
[Wood Release: World Tree Descent (Beginner)]
The moment he mastered this Wood Release, Sasuke felt as if he suddenly understood the principles behind various Wood Release techniques.
If one were to compare it to mathematics, World Tree Descent was like the multiplication table.
Even with Sasuke's strong talent, without the multiplication table as a guide, solving advanced equations would take much longer.
But with the multiplication table memorized, the process became significantly easier.
One by one, Wood Release vines sprouted from the ground, quickly spreading throughout the entire training field.
Although this training field was specially prepared for Sasuke by Orochimaru, with a size equivalent to several Bird's Nest stadiums combined, Sasuke's Wood Release still caused vines to grow across the walls, floors, and ceilings.
The vines even sprouted leaves, making the place look like it was covered in a layer of strange green decorations.
Fortunately, the space was enormous, and Sasuke's Wood Release in his normal state wasn't strong enough to completely cover the area.
Once the Sound Four, Haku, and Guren arrived, Sasuke's combat training officially began.
Combat is the fastest way to level up.
Using only Wood Release to face all six of them, Sasuke indeed felt an unprecedented level of difficulty.
If he used even a little bit of other ninjutsu, Sasuke felt he could easily defeat them.
But relying solely on Wood Release didn't yield the same results.
In his normal state, the strength of the Wood Release vines fell far short of the Sage Chakra-enhanced state.
Not only that, but the speed of the Wood Release was much slower. By utilizing World Tree Descent, Sasuke could control the vines for both offensive and defensive purposes.
This was not merely a single technique; it could be considered the foundational method of using Wood Release.
Using this technique, Sasuke could derive various attack and defense strategies.
It could be described as an all-in-one ninjutsu.
However, due to the lack of strength in his Wood Release, even when the Sound Four were caught by the vines, they managed to find ways to break free.
This made the battle more intense.
Since Sasuke had told them not to worry about injuring him and to attack freely, the Sound Four fought with all their might. Guren also gave it her all, while Haku, although concerned about Sasuke, followed his command to go all out.
As a result, the combined attacks of the Sound Four, along with the Crystal Release and Ice Release attacks, put Sasuke under immense pressure, bringing him to the brink of defeat several times.
But by relying on the powers of the Wood Dragon Technique and Wood Golem Technique, Sasuke simultaneously controlled Wood Release vines, Wood Release clones, the Wood Dragon, and the Wood Golem!
Using all these techniques together, he engaged in combat with the six of them.
Although he barely managed to maintain balance, the mental strain, chakra consumption, and physical exhaustion were immense.
However, after only thirty minutes of battle, Sasuke heard a thrilling sound.
[Congratulations, Host. Wood Release: World Tree Descent level has increased.]
[Congratulations, Host. Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique level has increased.]
[Congratulations, Host. Wood Release: Wood Golem Technique level has increased.]
[Congratulations, Host. Wood Release Clone level has increased.]
Hearing these successive notifications, Sasuke's face broke into a smile.
Although this half-hour battle left him feeling exhausted, the results were undeniably remarkable.
To have so many techniques improve simultaneously was extraordinary.
The speed of leveling up through combat was indeed far faster than through solitary training.
'Orochimaru truly knows what he's doing. Why didn't I think of this method sooner?'
Sasuke had been stuck in a mental rut, but now that he understood, his spirit was renewed.
The battle continued.
Sasuke seemed to suddenly recover his energy, and his control over Wood Release significantly improved.
The sudden change shocked the six opponents.
'Did he… make a breakthrough?'
'What a monster! In just half an hour of battle, he's already made progress.'
'As expected of Orochimaru-sama's most valued person. His talent is truly unparalleled.'
Looking at his current Wood Release levels, Sasuke noticed that the Wood Clone Technique had already reached a proficient level and didn't require further improvement.
However, Sasuke felt that using Wood Clones might provide additional Wood Release experiences, accelerating the improvement of other Wood Release techniques.
It was akin to learning addition and subtraction first, making it easier to grasp multiplication and division.
The battle continued.
Sasuke relished the rapid progress brought by combat.
Although his chakra depletion and physical exhaustion were intense, his recovery capabilities seemed almost infinite. Sasuke felt like a sponge, the harder he was squeezed, the faster he recovered.
This exceptional physique was perhaps the true transformation it brought!
It allowed him to endure his extreme consumption. The closer he was to his limits, the more dramatic his rebound became.
Much like the physique of higher-level Saiyans, every time he neared death and recovered, his strength would skyrocket.
This training method not only improved Sasuke's Wood Release but also gradually increased his chakra reserves.
Although the speed of chakra growth wasn't particularly fast, Sasuke could feel it steadily rising.
'Two days... Reaching a proficient level in all Wood Release techniques shouldn't be too difficult!'
