Ninja World.
Shion closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then spread her arms wide and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I'm finally back!"
Shinji was speechless: "Is it worth being this happy?"
Shion said: "You don't know! In the Six Rings World, I could only stay on the Mage Tower. They said there was pollution, so I couldn't go anywhere. I was really suffocated."
Hikari teased: "With so much magic to learn, did you still have the energy to go out and play?"
Shion put her hands on her hips and said proudly: "Humph humph, don't you see who I am? Even those Supreme Mages in the Six Rings World acknowledged my talent, praising me as the strongest Supreme Mage in the history of the Six Rings World!"
Hikari was somewhat surprised: "That impressive?"
Shinji nodded: "Shion isn't bragging about this. Measured by absolute strength, she has completely surpassed the level of a Supreme Mage."
Shion became even prouder and leaned towards Hikari: "Listen, I didn't say it wrong, right!"
Before Hikari could answer, Shinji continued: "However, even surpassing a Supreme Mage, you are only at 'Six Paths Level'. Hikari is now 'Kekkei Mora' (Bloodline Encompassing)."
Hearing this, Shion instantly deflated like a punctured ball.
"Alright, let's return to the base first!"
After Shinji finished speaking, he opened a space portal leading directly to the Flying Fortress.
The three quickly passed through the space portal and arrived at the Flying Fortress.
Karin, Neji, Kimimaro, Ryūzetsu, and Chino, who stayed behind at the Flying Fortress, hurriedly came up to greet them.
Karin had a joyful look on her face: "My Lord, it's great that you're fine!"
Shinji smiled: "Made you worry."
Then everyone asked about the battle situation in the Six Rings World all at once. Shion immediately jumped out and described this world-shaking battle vividly to everyone!
Hearing this, everyone exclaimed repeatedly.
Especially after knowing that Shinji actually used the delicate balance between two Hegemons to barely maintain the existence of the Six Rings World, pulling an entire world back from the brink of destruction, everyone was filled with surging emotions, unable to contain themselves!
After sending everyone away, Shinji only kept Karin and Hikari.
Returning to his office, Shinji asked Karin: "How has the Ninja World been during my absence?"
Karin hurriedly replied: "Toneri has been using the Giant Tenseigan to monitor the Ninja World. He found that the Fear Hegemon's erosion of the Ninja World is gradually intensifying, and power has faintly infiltrated in."
Shinji nodded slightly: "En, continue!"
As the 'Lampbearer' of the Ninja World, he also sensed this point, but he wasn't too surprised because this was the standard process for a Hegemon to devour a world.
Karin continued: "Toneri has been trying to use the Giant Tenseigan to find the power the Fear Hegemon infiltrated into the Ninja World, but there is no progress so far. As for the Research Institute, after stopping the ritual, everything is normal, and no accidents have occurred for the time being."
"That's good!" Pausing, Shinji asked casually: "What has Orochimaru been up to lately?"
Karin reported: "I heard Orochimaru actively applied for an outing mission. Amado approved it, so Orochimaru hasn't been in the Research Institute recently."
"What is that guy doing?"
Shinji was thoughtful.
Regarding Orochimaru, he always maintained vigilance. Intuition told him that Orochimaru had mastered at least one Shinjutsu. And Shinjutsu concerned Shibai Otsutsuki, the 'Kekkei Shinra' (Bloodline of All Creation) before him, so even though he had successfully advanced to 'Kekkei Shinra' now, he couldn't be the slightest bit careless.
Because at the level of 'Kekkei Shinra', the improvement of strength did not solely rely on the accumulation of chakra.
What truly affected the strength of a 'Kekkei Shinra' was knowledge, or rather, information.
So the older the 'Kekkei Shinra', the more powerful they often were. This was a very simple and easy-to-understand principle.
Seeing Shinji thoughtful, Karin said: "My Lord, do you need us to find Orochimaru? Sasuke has applied to the base several times, hoping to arrest Orochimaru."
Shinji waved his hand: "Not for now. I will deal with Orochimaru personally."
Karin nodded: "Understood."
Shinji said: "Karin, you go ahead and get busy!"
After Karin left, Shinji said to Hikari remaining in the office: "Have you recorded the magic of the Six Rings World?"
Hikari replied: "Don't worry, I recorded all the magic books in Shion's Mage Tower with 'Yachihoko'."
If it were before, even with 'Yachihoko', Hikari couldn't have recorded the vast magic of the Six Rings World. But fortunately, Hikari swallowed a 'Chakra Fruit' and successfully advanced to 'Kekkei Mora', thus having the ability to record all the magic of the Six Rings World.
"Great!"
Shinji clenched his fist.
He spared no cost to assist the Six Rings World this time, even bringing Hikari and Shion along; obviously, it wasn't a selfless contribution. Those magic books Hikari recorded with 'Yachihoko' were the price he charged the Six Rings World.
Pondering for a moment, Shinji worried that a long night would bring many dreams, so he got up and walked out. While walking, he said to Hikari: "Let's go to the training ground!"
Hikari hurriedly followed.
After the two arrived at the central training ground, Shinji instructed Hikari: "Transfer all the magic-related information recorded in 'Yachihoko' to me right now!"
"Okay!"
Hikari prepared for a moment, then launched a 'Chakra Impact' at Shinji. A massive amount of information about magic was transmitted into Shinji's body along with the chakra.
Facing the powerful chakra impact, Shinji, who had become a 'Kekkei Shinra', didn't retreat a half step and withstood it easily. It was just that he didn't expect the amount of information contained in this 'Chakra Impact' to be so huge, so he couldn't sort it out for a while.
Seeing Shinji concentrating on sorting out the information, Hikari, having completed the 'Chakra Impact', quietly exited the central training ground.
A few days later.
Shinji, who had been sitting quietly in the central training ground, finally opened his eyes.
He raised his hand, and magic circles appeared in his palm one by one. With a thought, these magic circles stacked layer by layer, forming a splendid Magic Ring.
Shinji muttered to himself: "So magic is like this..."
Countless mages in the Six Rings World studied thousands of magic spells for ages, but with Shinji, it took only a few short days to master them all.
If the Twilight Star Supreme Mage were here and saw the miniature Magic Ring in Shinji's palm, she would definitely marvel that the Magic Ring could be controlled so freely.
Indeed, Shinji not only mastered the Magic Ring but also completely analyzed the principles of the Magic Ring, able to cast it as he wished.
And as Shinji mastered the magic of the Six Rings World, his overall strength also instantly improved by a large margin under the enhancement of magic.
