ACSP: Chapter 97: Uchiha Shisui's [Body Flicker Technique]!
"Finally waited for that kid. Brother Shui, you must defeat him! I'll record a video for you!"
Seeing the matchup list refreshed on the arena, Zhao Bin immediately became incomparably excited.
In his eyes, Zhao Shui was definitely going to win this time.
For no other reason.
Only because the other party possessed an unsolvable Dojutsu.
Once [Kotoamatsukami] is unleashed, no one in this world can escape it.
"It won't be that easy."
However, Zhao Shui's expression at this moment was unprecedentedly grave.
Because from Jiang Chen's previous matches, he had already seen through some of the other party's bottom line.
For him to win this duel, it might be harder than he imagined.
"Relax, Brother Shui, you have Kotoamatsukami, are you afraid of him?"
Zhao Bin thought he was being modest and didn't take his words seriously.
Zhao Shui didn't say anything more.
With a Body Flicker, he landed on the arena.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen also jumped down from the viewing platform.
The moment they entered the arena, both tacitly activated their [Three-Tomoe Sharingan]!
...
"Edward, who do you think will win between these two?"
Over at the Eagle Country team, the blonde woman watched Jiang Chen and Zhao Shui, who had already entered the arena, a trace of worry unavoidably appearing in her eyes.
Both of them were Contractors from the Great Xia Kingdom, and their strength was unfathomable.
This was certainly not a good thing for their Eagle Country.
"I don't know. Although this Jiang Chen is more famous, that guy called 'Zhao Shui' can hypnotize people with a single glance; his strength is likely not inferior to the other's."
Edward's eyes flickered as he continued, "It's fortunate that the two of them met this time. If they can fight to a mutual defeat in this duel, then I will have a much better chance of winning when I encounter either one of them next."
Upon hearing this, the blonde woman subconsciously glanced at Gaara standing opposite them: "That NPC who can control sand is also quite strong; you mustn't be careless."
Edward sneered, "Only children play with sand. Such an opponent is not to be feared at all in my eyes. Don't you forget who my Contractor character is?"
...
On the martial arts arena, Zhao Shui and Jiang Chen stared at each other quietly, with no intention of making a move immediately.
In duels between experts, victory or defeat is often decided in an instant.
Seizing the initiative is certainly important, but sometimes the person who strikes first ends up falling into a passive position.
Both of them understood this principle, so neither chose to strike at the first opportunity.
However, there is a limit to waiting and seeing.
Just a few dozen seconds after the match began, as a single droplet of water fell from the arena's dome, Zhao Shui finally moved.
He made the first move, drawing the Kubikiribōchō from his back and rushing towards Jiang Chen.
"Can't you hold back anymore?"
While keeping an eye on the changes in his opponent's ocular power, Jiang Chen quickly rotated his [Sharingan], holding the Kubikiribōchō horizontally across his chest to prepare for the counterattack.
However, in the next second, Zhao Shui, who was rushing forward, suddenly swayed, splitting from one into two, then from two into four, suddenly creating a dozen or so clones that attacked from all directions.
Jiang Chen remained calm, swinging his blade and blocking the attacks of those clones one by one with a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Both sides instantly engaged in a fierce melee.
Seeing this, Li Yanran immediately covered her small mouth and exclaimed, "How is it possible? He actually knows the hand-signless Shadow Clone!"
Although hand-signless Shadow Clone and hand-signless Body Replacement Technique sound similar, the difficulty between the two is worlds apart.
They had previously tried to perform Shadow Clone without hand signs, but they all failed in the end.
Up until now, she had only seen Jiang Chen use this move. She hadn't expected that this Zhao Shui would also know it.
However, Yuan Danqing frowned and said, "No, those clones of his might not be Shadow Clones."
Li Yanran was clearly stunned, "That's impossible, right? His clones' attacks can all hit Jiang Chen, how could they not be Shadow Clones?"
Yuan Danqing's expression was grave, "I'm not entirely sure about this either, I just smell something very strange about those clones. Sometimes they have a scent, sometimes they don't, as if they are constantly shifting between virtual and real, one moment they are solid, the next they are illusions."
"Maybe your nose is blocked? How could there be clones in this world that can shift between virtual and real?"
Li Yanran naturally didn't believe Yuan Danqing's words. However, very soon, she realized she was wrong.
Because she discovered that when Jiang Chen struck those clones of Zhao Shui, the Kubikiribōchō in his hand actually passed right through them.
The attacks couldn't land; these were clearly not solid clones!
But, when that clone attacked Jiang Chen with a blade, it actually produced sparks upon colliding with the Kubikiribōchō in Jiang Chen's hand.
Clones that can shift between virtual and real. There really are such bizarre clones in this world.
"Jiang Chen, just give up. My Phantom Body Flicker Technique is unbreakable; you cannot win against me."
Zhao Shui said while accelerating his speed to launch even fiercer attacks on Jiang Chen, attempting to use words to strike him psychologically at a deeper level.
However, upon hearing this, Jiang Chen revealed a meaningful smile.
"A mere Phantom Body Flicker Technique, and you really think you're invincible?"
As the words fell, one Shadow Clone after another suddenly materialized beside him, surrounding all of Zhao Shui's clones.
"Shadow Clones?"
Zhao Shui snorted coldly, disdainfully saying, "This move of yours is useless against me."
His [Phantom Body Flicker Technique] could immunize against any damage.
No matter how many [Shadow Clones] came over, it would be in vain.
"Is that so?"
Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly.
The next second, a massive amount of laser-like electrical currents suddenly exploded from all of his [Shadow Clones].
"Watch closely, this is my self-created skill!"
"——Lightning Release: Chidori Current: Thunder Domain!"
As streaks of thunderous current surged out, the entire martial arts arena instantly transformed into a dazzling purgatory of a thunder sea.
Zhao Shui's clones were almost instantly engulfed by the bursting electrical currents.
Hundreds of [Shadow Clones] simultaneously performed [Chidori Current]. Thunder intertwined and collided with thunder, its power far surpassing a single [Chidori Current]!
Zhao Shui's [Phantom Body Flicker Technique] appeared to be able to freely shift between virtual and real. But Jiang Chen knew.
That was merely Zhao Shui using [Body Flicker Technique] to move at high speed.
And those clones looked solid! In reality, they were just bodies taken over by Zhao Shui using [Body Flicker Technique] at the moment of attack; essentially, they were illusory clones created by Zhao Shui through the Sharingan.
This skill had many weaknesses.
First, it could only be used within a very small range. Because no matter how fast [Body Flicker Technique] is, it has its limits. If the distance is too far, many complications will arise!
Second, it is afraid of group-damaging explosive skills. Because Zhao Shui's main body is constantly shifting among the illusory clones!
As long as someone covers all the illusory clones with an attack, leaving his main body with nowhere to hide! Then his [Phantom Body Flicker Technique] will be broken without a fight!
