Chapter 1032: Residual Soul Ninja Path

The youthful innocence on his face also revealed his lack of extensive combat experience; a truly seasoned ninja would never underestimate an opponent before securing victory. Any potential enemy could pose a threat to their lives, yet this young man lacked the caution of a veteran.

“Let me introduce myself. I am Canhun, the only son of Cangjian, the Third Boss of this island. Like my father, I follow the path of ninjutsu. While my strength is nowhere near my father’s, eliminating you two is more than enough for me. Moreover, my ninja guard squad is far beyond what two people of your strength can contend with. Surrender now and become our captives, and everything will be fine. I can even ask my father to spare your lives. Of course, if you choose not to cooperate, your fate is already sealed. You will not leave here alive.”

Guglass sneered. He suddenly stomped his foot, causing the ground to tremble. A terrifying aura instantly erupted from within him, spreading outwards, making all the vegetation around this section of the island battlefield shiver uncontrollably.

“What a terrifying aura! Young Master, this guy’s physical abilities are not to be underestimated. We must not be careless. Let’s attack quickly before things get complicated!” a ninja attendant quickly stepped forward and advised.

The Young Master, however, seemed unimpressed by the advice, merely scoffing disdainfully, “He’s just a fat man and an immature little girl. How could they scare you so much? You’re disgracing me!”

Canhun immediately took the initiative, vanishing from his spot as a blur. His afterimage then quickly split into three somewhat ethereal phantom figures in mid-air, forming a triangular formation and attacking a central point.

Three incredibly refined ninja shields flew out simultaneously, locking onto Guglass’s forehead. His head was now his most vulnerable point; the rest of his body was akin to iron and copper.

Guglass gave a powerful tremor, tearing off his outer garment to reveal his robust muscles. Instead of dodging, he stomped his foot and leaped into the air. A flask had appeared in his palm at some point.

The stout man took a deep swig from the flask in mid-air. Immediately, he seemed to go berserk, emitting a dark purple aura from his entire body.

After drinking, Guglass’s combat power surged by more than just one level. With his bare fists, he brutally shattered the three ninja shields in front of him, completely stunning the young ninja master, Canhun.

“What incredible defensive power! You truly have surprised me.”

Young Master Canhun was utterly incapable of resisting Guglass’s sudden counterattack. His statement was merely a way to save face. The ninjas accompanying him naturally understood this, but none would expose their master’s true intention. Instead of mockery, they decisively formed a protective formation around their Young Master.

“Young Master! Let us handle such opponents; there’s no need for you to personally intervene.”

Canhun accepted the offer to save face without hesitation, nodding calmly. He was unaware that Guglass and his stunning female attendant had already clearly assessed his true capabilities during his previous attack.

“Hahaha, you’re so transparent, you’re nothing but a paper tiger. What’s the point of borrowing prestige from others? If I were you, I wouldn’t even step onto this battlefield, because we’ve all fought through life and death. A pampered son like you isn’t suited for training in such a battlefield.”

Although Guglass’s words were harsh, they were genuinely sound advice. The opponent was clearly an immature ninja, daring to enter such a life-or-death situation in that state. Without a doubt, he was essentially courting death.

In contrast, the dozens of ninja attendants accompanying the young man were formidable. Not only were their cultivation levels not inferior to their Young Master’s, but their combat experience was also considerably richer. Each of them attacked with fierce speed and deadly precision. Sensing the intense killing intent from these ninjas, Guglass did not hesitate further and immediately gave an order to his stunning female attendant.

As expected, a serious Guglass was no longer the bloated, somewhat greasy fat man. Instead, he transformed into an unyielding iron warrior. Every movement exuded unparalleled toughness. With one punch, he struck a ninja attendant whose weakness he had detected, causing him to instantly explode into a spray of blood. Within minutes, the attendant completely vanished into thin air.

Perhaps this scene truly terrified Young Master Canhun. He stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Guglass and his stunning female attendant. Witnessing their decisive and ruthless combat methods, Young Master Canhun finally grasped the true power of cultivators like Guglass. An immature ninja like him was utterly unsuited for participating in a real battlefield. His mental fortitude simply could not match the skills he possessed.

In reality, for a human cultivator, regardless of their cultivation level, once they enter a battlefield, if their mental fortitude isn’t strong enough to adapt to scenes of fallen bodies and rivers of blood, they naturally cannot fully utilize their acquired skills. When assessing a person’s strength, the actual standard usually accounts for only about eighty percent of their total potential. This is because most people possess ten parts of strength, yet when facing an opponent on the battlefield, they can only unleash seven or eight parts. Rarely are there individuals like Xu Yang, who not only possess full strength but can even unleash twelve parts of their potential on the battlefield.

Achieving such a state requires more than just resilient and mature mental fortitude; it also demands an innate, dominant leadership aura. Individuals with Xu Yang’s temperament are naturally able to display their full strength on the battlefield, because deep down, they never know what fear is.
