After hearing about Naruto's Cultivation process, Sasuke and Sakura were both somewhat shocked.
Fortunately, neither of them were the type to begrudge the capable. After 'beating' Naruto up, they not only felt less depressed but also incredibly refreshed.
Naruto: "Seriously, why did you guys hit me?"
Sasuke, Sakura: "Heh heh."
Ignoring Naruto, who was covered in question marks, Sasuke glanced at Sakura, signaling that it was her turn to report her 'results'.
"Well..."
Looking at Sasuke, Sakura said a little sheepishly, "Actually, I didn't Cultivate the Sword Control Technique. Instead, I chose to Cultivate Zhao Linger's Five Elements Magic."
Zhao Linger's Five Elements Magic is also an existence not inferior to the Sword Control Technique.
When trained deeply, it can summon projections of deities like the Thunder God and Fire God, making it a Spell on the same level as the Sword God.
Besides possessing excellent offensive capabilities, the Five Elements Magic also has powerful support abilities.
Just like Sakura's self-positioning within the team is that of support.
She doesn't need overwhelming offensive strength; she just needs to quietly follow behind her two teammates and provide them with sufficient logistical support.
Therefore, the Five Elements Magic, which can heal, deal damage, and provide support, became her first choice.
Besides these, Five Elements Magic has one extremely overpowered skill.
That is the Soul Return Incantation.
The effect of the Soul Return Incantation in the game is to revive companions who died in battle and restore ten percent of their Health Points.
If this skill can revive people in a game, there's no reason it shouldn't work in reality.
Although using it in reality would certainly have strong limitations, this is a true resurrection Spell. Wouldn't it be a huge waste not to learn it?
Unfortunately, while the Soul Return Incantation can be learned early in the game, such an overpowered ability definitely won't be learned so easily in reality.
Learning Five Elements Magic is similar to the Sword Control Technique; both start from scratch.
The only difference is that the Sword Control Technique has no branches and can be trained straight through, whereas for Five Elements Magic, Sakura needs to choose one element—Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, or Earth—to begin Cultivating.
Once the initial skills of the Five Elements Magic are all learned, Sakura can choose to Cultivate Support and Recovery Spells.
Sakura's goal was very clear: to be the team's support. Therefore, inside the Training Room, she directly chose to Cultivate the most basic Spell within the Five Elements Magic.
Fortunately, she is a Ninja. Although Ninjutsu is not a Spell, there is still some overlap.
Therefore, she only spent about five hours learning the most basic Five Elements Magic.
For the remaining hour, she chose to Cultivate the Guanyin Spell.
In the game, the Guanyin Spell is a single-target healing skill.
In reality, the Guanyin Spell can not only treat internal and external injuries, but more importantly, it can also restore the target's Chakra to a certain extent.
It's almost like giving the target Sakura's Chakra to use, while also healing some injuries.
If Sakura had a large amount of Chakra, this skill would be an absolute divine skill.
Unfortunately, Sakura is not Naruto. She estimated that she could use it a maximum of five times before her Chakra would be completely depleted.
As for the healing capability, since no one was injured, she didn't know how effective it would be... Sakura choosing Five Elements Magic instead of the Sword Control Technique was undoubtedly very beneficial to the team.
Sasuke did not blame Sakura; he just briefly instructed her to learn the Soul Return Incantation as quickly as possible, as he wanted to test if the skill could revive his parents.
Of course, he knew such a powerful skill must have limitations, and if it ultimately couldn't revive them, he wouldn't blame Sakura.
"Alright, everyone has learned the skills they wanted. Now, let's select your weapons and equipment."
The Rookie Three finished their conversation, which was the perfect moment for Ge Liang to interject.
"Boss, I'll take one intermediate magic sword for me, one beginner magic sword for Naruto, and one Elementary magic staff for Sakura."
The intermediate magic sword cost ten million Ryo, the two Elementary weapons cost two million Ryo, plus the one point eight million Ryo spent by the three of them using the Training Room.
That is to say, the total expenditure this time was thirteen point eight million Ryo.
Truly worthy of being called a 'rich spendthrift,' the consumption is magnificent.
"Here you go."
Ge Liang redeemed the three weapons from the store and handed them directly to the trio.
Compared to the unremarkable weapons of Naruto and Sakura, the intermediate magic sword in Sasuke's hand looked visibly much more Advanced than the other two weapons.
The hilt had more carvings compared to the beginner magic sword, and the blade looked brighter and'sharper' than the beginner magic sword.
These carvings weren't just for aesthetics; they were meant to enhance Chakra conversion and reduce the Spell consumption of the wielder.
For example: If Sakura wanted to use Five Elements Magic, such as the most basic Wind Curse of the Wind element, she would consume one hundred points of Chakra. With the Elementary magic staff, her Chakra consumption would be reduced to ninety points, a ten percent reduction.
Elementary weapons offer a ten percent reduction, while Sasuke's Intermediate weapon offers thirty percent.
That's twenty percent more savings than the Elementary level.
Besides saving Chakra, there is one more reason why Intermediate weapons are superior to Elementary ones.
That is, Intermediate weapons boost the power of Spells by ten percent.
Therefore, Advanced equipment is expensive for a good reason.
"Boss, it's getting late, so we'll be heading off now."
Ge Liang checked the time—a little past five in the afternoon. It's getting late already?
Could they be rushing home for dinner?
"Alright, welcome back next time."
Ge Liang had originally wanted to treat them to dinner. After all, Sasuke had spent so much, so treating them to a meal was normal.
But seeing that the trio wanted to leave, he didn't stop them... The reason the Team 7 trio wanted to leave now wasn't to rush home for dinner, but because they wanted to find a secluded place to properly test the Spells they had just learned.
Konoha Village is huge, and there are many surrounding forests, so finding a quiet, deserted place was relatively easy.
"Come on, Naruto, let's test the Sword Control Incantation first."
"Okay, Sasuke."
Having said that, the two began controlling their magic swords, making the two swords 'dance' in the air.
In terms of grade, Sasuke's magic sword was naturally one level higher than Naruto's. If they were to clash seriously, Naruto's magic sword would soon be covered in scars.
Fortunately, they were only testing the various parameters of the Sword Control Incantation this time, so neither of them clashed seriously.
After manipulating the Flying Swords flashily for a while, Sasuke was the first to stop.
Seeing Sasuke stop, Naruto naturally stopped as well.
"Based on my current Chakra level, continuously using the Sword Control Incantation can last about an hour. The consumption is even less than expected."
"Naruto, how about your... Never mind, pretend I didn't ask."
Sasuke realized just as the words left his mouth that this guy wasn't normal.
While other people's Chakra is truly measured in grams (ke), this guy's Chakra could easily be called Chaka-jin (Chakra in jin/pounds), and combined with the Nine-Tailed, it could evolve into Chaka-dun (Chakra in tons).
"Naruto, don't bother testing the Myriad Sword Art. You should focus more on practicing Sword Flight."
"Okay, Sasuke."
