The shadow clone has left, Susie and Xiaoshui have woken up, and Johnson's injuries have been controlled by Gu Ran's shadow clone using the Palm Immortal Technique, but he is still unconscious.
The shadow clone did not reveal Gu Ran's identity, only saying that he was just passing by and helping out.
Because they used a transformation spell, Susie and Xiaoshui couldn't recognize who they were.
Moreover, they left immediately after the crisis was over, without giving Susie and Xiaoshui a chance to ask any more questions.
Since they wanted to leave, Xiao Shui and Su Xi couldn't force them to stay.
"Let's go, the Siamese military is about to enter." Gu Ran carried Johnson on his back and left the place.
……
After leaving, Xiao Shui took Johnson to the hospital for a more detailed examination, while Susie and Gu Ran returned to their hotel rooms to rest.
Inside the room, Gu Ran gave the collected blood samples to the system and received a reward.
[Rewards are being processed, please wait...]
[Reward Chakra: 1 card, current total Chakra: 20 cards]
[Learned B-rank ninjutsu: Wind Release: Shuriken]
[Learned B-rank ninjutsu: Lightning Release Chakra Mode]
[Progress in unlocking Sharingan 3 tomoe: 11/12]
Wind Release: Shuriken is a technique that adds wind-style chakra to shuriken, increasing their power. Once mastered, it can be used to cut through rocks.
It is an extremely powerful Wind Release ninjutsu.
Lightning Release Chakra Mode is a ninjutsu that allows one to wrap lightning chakra around their body and activate their physical form. The lightning within the body can enhance nerve conduction speed, greatly improving a person's agility and reaction ability. The lightning covering the surface can also act as armor, protecting the body from certain types of damage.
The trip to Siam was quite fruitful; the blood samples from the two Tibetan mastiffs increased his chakra by 1 calorie.
He also learned two ninjutsu techniques and one illusion technique.
The previous 'crocodile' blood sample taught him the Mist Servant Technique, a type of illusion.
The Kasumi Servant's Technique can create illusions, causing shadowy figures to continuously appear around the user. Once one is killed, it will continue to multiply. If an ordinary person cannot recognize it as an illusion, they will waste a lot of stamina.
Besides, Gu Ran is only one to go before unlocking the three-tomoe Sharingan. Once he unlocks the three-tomoe Sharingan, he can use visual illusions to further enhance his genjutsu abilities.
The old croupier's name was revealed to be Li Shouming through the system's DNA testing.
He actually has an A-grade bloodline as well.
While at the casino, Susie sensed that the other party's power of words was inferior to her own.
It turns out this old man was hiding his true abilities.
As for the old man's identity, Norma has been tasked with investigating it, and it will take some time before we have any results.
Based on the clues, we should be able to find information about the other three households of the Zhang family in Nanyang.
Moreover, Li Tianzhi was secretly investigating and helping, and he was able to collect a lot of intelligence in Singapore's counter-terrorism department.
"And the biggest gain is this seal..." Gu Ran took the seal from the Zhang family ancestral hall and held it in his hand.
When he touches it, the jade seal emits a dazzling light and brings him peace of mind. In the depths of his mind, a voice seems to be guiding him.
Many spirits were constantly drawing closer to him.
These spirits are natural energy.
Gu Ran could clearly sense that his sensitivity to natural energy had deepened; it would automatically enter his body and he could control it better.
After gaining this insight, Gu Ran took a shower and went to bed, eager to enter the dream world of Mount Myōboku and test his Sage Mode.
In the dreamlike landscape of Mount Myoboku.
The reason why Gu Ran had failed to enter the immortal mode before was largely because he could not retain natural energy in his body. He had to constantly mobilize his spirit to control and restrain the natural energy in his body.
This makes it easy for him to become distracted, making it difficult for him to maintain a balance between the three energies.
However, after using the Zhang family's jade seal and truly experiencing the energy of nature, he mastered a technique.
That is to empty yourself.
Previously, he used the power of words to attract natural energy, but this time, he no longer needs to.
When he empties his mind, the natural energy around him naturally enters his body.
Sensing the extra natural energy in his body, he immediately allocated a portion of his chakra to merge with it, thus achieving a balance between spiritual energy, physical energy, and natural energy.
This time, everything fell into place naturally. He immediately felt the three energies rapidly merging and soon becoming a powerful force!
This is the power of immortals!
The first thing Gu Ran did was look at his reflection in the water.
Her face didn't change much, except for a layer of eyeshadow, and her pupils appeared a pale gold color, making them brighter.
The hands and feet remained unchanged; it was still in human form, without horns on its head or a long tail on its buttocks.
However, the skin below the neck is covered with a layer of fine dragon scales, starting from near the collarbone and extending all the way to a point just above the ankle.
After thinking for a moment, he summoned a shadow clone and used a Rasengan on his main body!
With a "bang," Gu Ran's dragon-scaled body was thrown back a distance, crashing into the rock and shattering it.
"Cough cough."
Gu Ran coughed twice and glanced down at the dragon scale armor.
It has some dents but no damage. Its durability is acceptable. It should be able to withstand ordinary rifle bullets without any problem. I just don't know if it can stop anti-materiel armor-piercing rounds.
If Sage Mode is combined with Lightning Release Chakra Mode... then the speed and physical strength would be incredibly powerful!
Gu Ran was overwhelmed with excitement!
……
When Gu Ran woke up the next day, she was still quite excited.
Because he has completely mastered the method to enter Sage Mode.
Just then, the system sent a new message.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully entered Immortal Mode and can now unlock the Immortal Body.]
[Reminder: Collecting blood samples from the Dragon King's Crown can speed up the unlocking process of the Immortal Body.]
[Current progress of unlocking Immortal Body: 25%]
Gu Ran looked at the system's introduction: the Immortal Body can possess powerful vitality and life energy, and can also use immortal techniques to enhance the power of various ninjutsu.
He successfully entered "immortal mode" last night.
However, after testing, it was found that Sage Mode is actually not very useful in battlefield combat.
Chapter 168 I accidentally laughed out loud during class
Sage Mode has two obvious problems.
First, it takes time to gather natural energy, and one must remain stationary in place to enter the immortal mode.
The second problem is that the immortal mode doesn't last long. He tested it several times last night and found that it can only last for a maximum of five minutes.
Of course, the combat power when Sage Mode is activated is indeed astonishing; for example, Chidori's power is several times greater.
Furthermore, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken can also be thrown, causing significant cutting damage.
The effect of Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet is also amazing. With the blessing of Sage Art, three fire dragons dance, with a greater range and power, turning a large area in front of them into a sea of fire that even waterfalls cannot extinguish!
However, the excessively long preparation time required to enter Sage Mode remains a major drawback.
"If only I could quickly enter the immortal mode through training," Gu Ran thought to himself.
Otherwise, the requirement to remain stationary on the battlefield to enter Sage Mode is extremely dangerous.
……
After getting up, Gu Ran and Susie had breakfast together, and then went to the hospital to see Johnson.
The first thing Johnson did after waking up was to check his body, and he was incredibly surprised to find that he was not injured at all.
He clearly remembers that a huge shard pierced his lung, making it difficult to breathe and causing him to bleed a lot.
Now, not only is he still alive, but his injuries have also mostly healed.
After the doctor's examination, he said I could be discharged in a couple of days.
Thanks to Gu Ran's shadow clones continuously treating Johnson with palm magic, many of his terrifying injuries had already healed by the time he was sent to the hospital, so the doctors did not consider him a critically ill patient.
"I don't know what kind of incantation that person has, but it can make wounds heal at a speed visible to the naked eye!" Xiao Shui witnessed the healing process last night and felt both grateful and amazed.
"It's probably... some kind of incantation called 'Don't die,'" Gu Ran said with a smile.
"The name of this Word of Power is quite simple and unpretentious," Susie said with a smile.
Everyone was safe and sound during the mission, so they are all in good spirits now.
The four of them held a small farewell party in a private hospital room, because Gu Ran and Su Qian were going to take a plane back to school that afternoon.
They simply ordered pizza, fried chicken, and soda, and chatted about the follow-up to last night's mission while they ate.
Johnson didn't restrict his diet because of his injury; he had a particularly good appetite and ate a fried chicken and a slice of pizza by himself, as if he were a starving ghost.
Xiao Shui placed half a piece of fried chicken in front of Johnson, telling him to eat slowly.
Then, she told Gu Ran and Susie some of the latest information:
"The King of Siam formally met with the principal last night and said that he was unaware of last night's operation. The liaison officer in charge of communications with the secret service disappeared after the incident, and the King of Siam is now looking for someone to arrest him."
The Siamese military did not enter the scene last night because someone had falsely conveyed a royal decree. The King of Siam only learned about the incident after receiving a phone call from Angers.
The Siamese royal family is also a mixed-race family. They belong to the lawful camp, and what happened last night was a disruption of that order, so the King of Siam is very angry now.
If even one dog had escaped last night, it would have had a huge impact on the people of Siam, and in severe cases, it could have even shaken the current rule of the King of Siam.
So last night, the King of Siam immediately launched an internal investigation.
They provided information that other members of the Zhang family in Southeast Asia had been to Indonesia, Malaysia, and India, and perhaps there might be clues about them there.
The man Gu Ran killed last night, Li Shouming, was an Indonesian Chinese who had served as a mercenary and fought in the Middle East.
