Yahiko Rin nodded; that did seem to be the case.
Many of the ninjutsu that Guild Master Lin Xuan had just performed were A-rank and B-rank techniques she had seen before. Their power hadn't been this strong back then because the users' strength was far inferior to Guild Master Lin's!
"Obito is amazing, he understands everything!" Yahiko Rin praised Obito with a smile.
Obito's face immediately flushed red. "Not at all," he said sheepishly. "I just thought about it a little more and figured it out."
"So, you're saying I don't like to think?" Yahiko Rin's smile gradually faded as she pinched Obito's ear, asking with feigned annoyance.
"No, no, Rin, you've got it wrong! I absolutely didn't mean that! Ah, I..." Obito began to explain in a fluster.
Yahiko Rin: "Then what did you mean?"
Obito: "You just don't overthink things, that's all!"
Yahiko Rin: "What? So you're saying I have a one-sided, superficial view of things?"
Nearby, watching his two students bicker, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but smile.
It had been so long since there had been such a lively scene. It really was nostalgic. Obito only showed his innocent side when he was around Rin.
Perhaps it could be said that Rin was Obito's salvation.
It was a shame Kakashi wasn't here to see this; it would have been perfect otherwise.
Should we have Kakashi kill himself to come over?
The moment this thought surfaced, Minato was startled by his own mind.
What was wrong with him? Why would he think such a thing? Kakashi was alive and well in the ninja world, and he actually considered having him commit suicide to come here?!
He must have spent too much time with Roger and the others lately; their influence was rubbing off on him.
Yes, that had to be it. He was still the teacher who loved his students!
After this self-reassurance, Minato turned his attention back to the battle high in the sky.
High above, the fierce battle continued to erupt.
Frieza had activated his final form. Although his physique had become more compact, his combat power instantly skyrocketed to 3 million!
Whether in speed, strength, or the power of his attacks, he was now vastly more powerful than before.
This was Frieza's true strength!
Moreover, as he continued to unleash his power, his combat power kept increasing, even soaring all the way to 6 million.
For anyone else, facing such a terrifying and monstrous enemy, the battle would likely have ended long ago.
Even Lin Xuan couldn't help but show a grave expression on his face now.
"Truly worthy of being the one who forced Son Goku to transform into a Super Saiyan. His strength is indeed formidable!" Lin Xuan sighed inwardly.
Frieza was, without a doubt, the strongest opponent Lin Xuan had encountered so far!
At this moment, Lin Xuan was already fighting with all his might, constantly consuming reputation points to replenish his energy.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The two moved at extreme speeds, colliding violently again and again. Their terrifying techniques made the heavens tremble and the earth quake!
Each collision caused the air to explode, whipping up terrifying shockwaves.
"Death Beam Net!"
"Sage Art: Yin Release Lightning!"
A sky full of devastating, destructive ki attacks clashed with various Sage Arts and ninjutsu in a relentless bombardment.
The spectacle of the battle was dazzling, yet filled with deadly peril. The slightest misstep, even being grazed by the residual energy, could result in being instantly torn to shreds!
"Interesting. Your strength continues to exceed my expectations. It really is a pity to kill you."
Frieza's gaze was icy, a cold smirk on his lips as he stared at Lin Xuan. "I'll give you one more chance. Swear allegiance to me, serve under my command, and I will spare your life!"
"Heh, not interested," Lin Xuan replied with a dismissive, cold laugh.
Frieza snorted upon hearing this, anger flashing across his face.
An ungrateful wretch!
Who did this guy think he was, refusing Frieza's recruitment again and again? Frieza, the Emperor of the Universe!
Since he was a strong one who wouldn't obey, he could only be killed!
In an instant, Frieza's figure vanished, his body enveloped in ki as he charged at Lin Xuan at high speed, erupting with a terrifying aura capable of destroying a planet!
Seeing this, Lin Xuan's expression grew even more solemn.
He could sense the horror of the technique Frieza was now employing—it truly had the power to annihilate a planet!
If he wasn't careful and let Frieza crash into Namek, the planet would likely be finished!
However, although grave, Lin Xuan remained calm and unflustered.
The golden Susano'o that reappeared in an instant was rapidly covered in black—Armament Haki!
"Boom!"
The black Susano'o condensed a blade of lightning in its hand and swung it down fiercely, colliding head-on with Frieza.
For a moment, the high sky was filled with flashes of lightning and peals of thunder, as tempests of lightning and violent winds ran rampant.
The next moment, the power around Lin Xuan's body erupted wildly.
"KABOOM!"
This shock was even more terrifying. Everyone on the ground felt their eardrums might burst.
The ground shook violently under the air tremors, cracking open with enormous fissures.
Nail, the strongest combat-type warrior among the Namekians, watched the battle above and couldn't help but exclaim in awe, "This is too terrifying. Is this really a battle between humans?"
