Chapter 73: Dragon Sage Mode
The third trial…
Within the dense clouds of mist, a ferocious snake head suddenly shot out and bit down on Li Jiexuan's neck.
Unable to resist, Li Jiexuan collapsed to the ground. Might Guy suddenly appeared. "Captain, because of you, we were all captured by Danzo."
Right after that, Tsunade walked out as well, looking at Li Jiexuan with a face full of grief. "Why… why didn't you manage to save Second Grandfather…"
Then Might Guy appeared again. And after that, Tsunade again…
Might Guy and Tsunade practically turned it into a two-person looped performance!
"Is this ever going to end?" Li Jiexuan sneered. "If you're going to play a movie, can you at least make it a bit more original?"
Hearing Li Jiexuan's scolding, Tagorihime walked out with some embarrassment. "I didn't have a choice. No matter how much I searched, I could only find these two people."
In Li Jiexuan's entire life—his brief two years of existence—there were only two people he truly cared about…
In short, Li Jiexuan passed the trial!
As the mist dispersed, a temple named Ryūchi Cave appeared before Li Jiexuan. This was the place where the White Snake Sage resided…
Pushing open the temple doors, a gigantic white snake lay coiled atop a stone seat. Its murky yellow snake pupils were locked tightly onto Li Jiexuan, staring and staring—staring for a full ten minutes…
"How is this possible? I can't see through your destiny at all!?" The White Snake Sage suddenly sprang up from its seat, the pipe it had been holding in its mouth falling to the ground.
Similar to the Toad Sage's ability to foresee the future and the overall fate of the world, the White Snake Sage possessed the power to see through the destiny of those who came to train.
Yet what shocked the snake was…
It couldn't see Li Jiexuan's destiny at all. It was as if a solid wall stood in the way, completely blocking the White Snake Sage's vision.
"How strange, how strange…"
After muttering to itself for quite a while, the White Snake Sage finally remembered the main matter at hand. "You want to obtain my power!?"
Li Jiexuan nodded firmly. If he wasn't here to gain power, was he supposed to be here to watch you lose your mind?
"Very well!"
The White Snake Sage suddenly thrust its head forward and bit down on Li Jiexuan's neck, forcefully pouring a massive amount of natural energy into him…
The moment this natural energy entered Li Jiexuan's body, a violent reaction began. His limbs started to lengthen, and snake-like scales appeared across his skin…
But suddenly, Li Jiexuan spat out a mouthful of blood. It seemed he couldn't withstand the natural energy and had failed to complete sage transformation.
"Seems nothing out of the ordinary."
The White Snake Sage muttered to itself. "Maybe my ability to foresee destiny has weakened?"
Just as the White Snake Sage was preparing to eat Li Jiexuan, Li Jiexuan suddenly downed a bottle of stamina potion…
And just like that, Li Jiexuan was fully revived! "Hm? What's going on here?"
The White Snake Sage froze for a moment, then continued pouring in natural energy. Li Jiexuan's eyes began to transform into sage-mode snake pupils, and more and more snake scales appeared on his body.
"Pff—"
Another mouthful of blood sprayed out as Li Jiexuan dropped to his knees, his entire body starting to tremble.
"This should do it now!"
The White Snake Sage was just about to loosen its grip and swallow Li Jiexuan…
"Glug…"
Another bottle of stamina potion went down, and Li Jiexuan stood back up again!
Immediately after, he dropped back to his knees…
This cycle repeated dozens of times, until even the White Snake Sage was nearly dried out. Only then did Li Jiexuan finally succeed in sage transformation, achieving a stable sage mode.
Rather than calling it Snake Sage Mode, it would be more accurate to call it Dragon Sage Mode!
A pure white horn stood atop Li Jiexuan's head. Silver scales the size of a palm covered his body, like a piece of luxurious outerwear!
Two ferocious silver snakes coiled around his arms, agile and vicious. His silver-white snake pupils were noble and imposing—one casual glance, and everything he looked upon instinctively bowed in submission!
