Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Chu Zihang, the Sparring Partner

Cheng Sui clicked into the post, which contained a video recorded by Caesar.

Caesar in the video was still wearing a dark red combat uniform, his dazzling blonde hair slightly disheveled. Doctors and nurses were walking back and forth in the background. It looked like the video was recorded right after the Day of Freedom ended.

"First, I congratulate student Cheng Sui on winning this Day of Freedom. I also apologize to those who supported me; being ambushed was indeed my carelessness."

Caesar in the camera held his head high, as if he were the victor of the event, proud like a male lion.

"However, what's worth celebrating is that you chose to ambush me instead of Chu Zihang. This precisely proves that in your heart, I am a more threatening opponent than Chu Zihang.

I once considered Chu Zihang my only opponent, and now I am pleased to have one more."

Caesar smiled, his expression brimming with absolute confidence.

"I heard that in ancient China, warriors would send a formal challenge before a duel on the arena, called 'issuing a challenge.' Therefore, I now invite you, Cheng Sui, to have a fair and square duel with me. Of course, you can refuse.

But I believe that as the final victor, you wouldn't run away from a challenge, right?"

The video ended here. After watching it, Cheng Sui frowned deeper and deeper.

I have to say, Caesar was a man proud to the bone, exuding confidence—a born leader.

Even his own ambush of Caesar was spun by Caesar as proof that he was superior to Chu Zihang.

Unsurprisingly, the comment section was filled with cheers from his followers.

Cheng Sui turned off his phone screen, lay on the bed, and stretched out his palm.

The dorm light filtered through his fingers, making Cheng Sui's eyes squint slightly.

After being a good-for-nothing for three years, this sudden fame was still something he wasn't used to.

[Uzumaki Naruto is furious that you ambushed him from behind using the Thousand Years of Pain, and thus issues a challenge to duel you one-on-one in front of the whole class. Looking at the bouncing blonde kid before you, and to maintain your dignity as a teacher, you decide to teach him a lesson.]

[Mission completion reward: Konoha Style Taijutsu Mastery, Konoha Style Kenjutsu Mastery.]

"Hey, hey, hey! System, don't talk nonsense. I defeated Caesar fair and square from behind with a pistol. What Thousand Years of Pain? That's disgusting."

[Upon detection, the Host did indeed use the Thousand Years of Pain on Uzumaki Naruto.]

[The System suspects the Host misunderstood the Thousand Years of Pain.]

[Thousand Years of Pain: A Konoha Style Taijutsu. When executing the Thousand Years of Pain, the user must form the Tiger Hand Seal with both hands and then swiftly insert them into the opponent's vital spot from behind.]

"Stop, stop, stop. That's too gross, don't say anymore."

Cheng Sui felt a shiver of disgust, even his fingers felt unclean.

Cassell College dorms are generally double rooms. Cheng Sui's roommate was a friendly Indian guy named Sang Jie, whose caste was the low-ranking Shudra. He was discovered by Cassell College in a slum and later successfully enrolled.

Unlike Cheng Sui's C-rank, Sang Jie's bloodline rating was B-rank, and among the higher echelon of B-ranks. Thus, he had been interning at the Equipment Department for a long time. He hadn't returned to the dorm these past few days, likely busy modifying equipment underground, working with such fervor that he was oblivious to the world.

Taking off his shirt and standing up, Cheng Sui walked to the dorm mirror to observe his current physique.

Thanks to the Uzumaki Clan constitution, Cheng Sui's body was now significantly bulkier than before, with balanced, streamlined muscles containing astonishing strength.

With a slight shift in thought, Cheng Sui activated his Sharingan.

"Zheng!"

Cheng Sui's pupils instantly turned scarlet, and ominous-looking Tomoe appeared in his eyes, slowly rotating around the iris.

Cheng Sui felt as if everything around him had slowed down; even the dust motes in the air were clearly visible.

Based on his memories of Hokage from his previous life, Cheng Sui knew that the One-Tomoe Sharingan, besides clearly seeing enemy movements and copying Taijutsu actions, also had the ability to perceive Chakra flow.

But the problem was that Chakra didn't exist in the dragon raja world. What would the Sharingan perceive instead?

Could it be Kotodama Power?

However, there were no conditions to verify Cheng Sui's idea right now. Cassell College was covered by the Night Watchman's massive domain. Kotodama: Commandment suppresses all Hybrids whose bloodline is lower than the Night Watchman's, so Cheng Sui naturally couldn't use his Kotodama.

Looking at his blood-red eyes in the mirror, Cheng Sui felt it necessary to emulate Chu Zihang and buy black contact lenses.

The Sharingan was a sharp weapon in battle, and he couldn't afford not to use it. However, the features of the Sharingan were too obvious, so he needed to use contact lenses to cover them, otherwise, it would be unexplainable—after all, no Hybrid's Golden Eyes were blood-red.

Thinking of this, Cheng Sui took out his phone and searched online for content related to Hokage.

He hadn't paid attention during the past three years whether the work *Hokage* existed in this world, which was now crucial for him. If the work *Hokage* existed here, Cheng Sui would have to be extremely careful when using his abilities in the future.

However, the search results allowed Cheng Sui to breathe a sigh of relief.

Forget *Hokage*; he couldn't even find results for "Old Thief Kishimoto" just now. It seemed this world fundamentally prevented the possibility of *Hokage* existing.

"Ding-dong."

An email was sent to Cheng Sui's inbox. Cheng Sui opened it and found the sender was Principal Angers.

The content of the letter was as follows:

Dear Cheng Sui,

I saw Caesar's challenge request to you on the Night Watchman Forum. What are your thoughts? Honestly, I really look forward to your duel. After all, you are Cassell College's most outstanding students, and your clash can serve as an example for others to learn from. As the Principal, I certainly hope all students in the college can improve.

However, the purpose of writing this letter is not that.

Your bloodline test has already been arranged by norma. The physical fitness test is scheduled for next Wednesday morning, and the 3E Exam is scheduled for next Saturday. If you intend to duel Caesar, be sure to avoid these two times.

Oh, and about your internship.

Professor Mans von Rindescheit of the Execution Department recently started a project. Executive Department Specialists in Egypt discovered what appears to be a Dragon Raja Ruin beneath the Abu Simbel Temple, but unfortunately, it is submerged by the Nile River's groundwater.

The Execution Department plans to send our best Diving Specialists, Ye Sheng and Jude Aki, to carry out this mission, and Mans is their supervisor. I have already recommended you to Mans. Your job is simply to meet up with Ye Sheng and Jude Aki inside the Abu Simbel Temple. The mission is very simple.

I will attach Professor Mans's business card at the end of the email. If you wish to participate, contact him.

Your best friend,

Hilbert Jean Angers

Cheng Sui clicked on the email attachment, which contained Professor Mans von Rindescheit's business card. Clicking it would allow him to add the Professor's contact information.

But Cheng Sui didn't hurry to add it. Instead, he asked norma for Chu Zihang's contact information.

To complete the System mission, the duel with Caesar was unavoidable.

But Cheng Sui knew that he currently possessed brute strength and the Sharingan but didn't know how to use them.

After all, he only barely passed his Combat Class because the teacher helped him out; his Fighting Skills were pitiful.

Moreover, it would be a huge waste not to use the Sharingan's ability to copy Taijutsu skills, so he needed a sparring partner.

Chu Zihang was the best candidate!
