"This is that Sannin's unique secret technique; he actually learned it."
Feeling the entire Central Tower vibrating, many Chunin and Jonin swallowed hard, especially those who knew this move and were terrified.
"Such terrifying power, what is this? Chakra concentrated at a single point, burning and exploding in an instant without a single trace leaking out. What kind of control is this?"
Neji couldn't help but activate his Byakugan, and upon looking, he was immediately startled. Such control was simply frightening.
However, thinking of his own taijutsu and Bloodline Limit, he regained his confidence.
If it was just taijutsu, it would be impossible to defeat him. He believed his Gentle Fist could counter this move.
As long as he sealed the pressure points and prevented the Chakra from flowing and concentrating to burn and explode, then everything would be fine.
"Hyuga Neji, I've wanted to see the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist and Byakugan for a long time. I hope you don't disappoint me."
Sora stood five meters in front of Hyuga Neji without any starting stance, just standing there calmly. Yet no one dared to underestimate him.
Whether it was candidates like Gaara, Sasuke, and Naruto, or Jonin like Kakashi Hatake, Kurenai Yuhi, and Might Guy, everyone was staring at the two of them.
"You won't be disappointed." Hyuga Neji maintained his activated Byakugan, staring at Sora and searching for his weaknesses.
It could be said that under the terrifying insight of the Byakugan, if a person had any weakness, it absolutely could not be hidden.
"Is this the Byakugan? It's just a Genin's, and one restricted by the Caged Bird Seal at that. If the Curse Mark were removed, it would surely be stronger.
It actually gives me a feeling of being completely seen through, with nowhere to hide."
Because Sora had a special Physique from tempering his blood and qi, his perception was extremely keen.
As soon as the Byakugan looked at him, he sensed that feeling of being seen through.
This was also why no one could launch a sneak attack on Sora; his senses were too sharp.
As long as someone was looking at him, even with a gaze devoid of any hostility or killing intent, he could keenly detect it.
Unless the opponent's strength and control were so powerful that they could completely suppress all their aura, ensuring not a trace of their essence, energy, or spirit leaked out.
And their gaze was as plain and unremarkable as a stone by the roadside.
Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to hide from Sora.
But so far, even the strongest people Sora had encountered, such as Orochimaru and Tsunade, could not achieve this; they were still quite far off.
Moreover, Sora's keen perception continued to improve along with his strength.
"Before my Byakugan, everything about you will be exposed." As Hyuga Neji spoke, he exuded immense confidence.
At the same time, his feet moved in rapid succession, his speed surprisingly much faster than Rock Lee's, and his hands struck out like two cunning venomous snakes.
"Engaging in close combat with Sora, who possesses Monstrous Strength, is a foolish thing. However, the Hyuga Clan's taijutsu is basically all close combat, so Hyuga Neji has no choice.
Still, the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist is known as Konaha's strongest taijutsu; there should be a way." Kakashi Hatake activated his Sharingan and stared at the duel between the two.
"Guy, Neji is your strongest student, right? Do you think he can win?" Kurenai Yuhi asked.
"I have absolute confidence in Neji." Might Guy gave a thumbs-up, his teeth flashing with a brilliant gleam.
Seeing this, Kurenai Yuhi's eye twitched, and she thought to herself, "Why did I even ask this idiot?"
"Gentle Fist!" Hyuga Neji shouted inwardly.
With the insight of the Byakugan, he was confident that he could dodge the moment Sora attacked and strike the opponent's pressure points to seal his Monstrous Strength.
As long as Chakra couldn't be used, that Monstrous Strength would be useless.
But to his surprise, no, to everyone's surprise, Sora didn't move at all, allowing Neji's two fingers to strike his arm.
"What?" Neji originally thought it was a Substitution Jutsu, but he found that he had struck the opponent for real.
He didn't believe Sora couldn't dodge it, so why did Sora do this?
"Is this pressure point striking?" Sora ignored Hyuga Neji and instead felt the changes within his body.
The moment Neji's fingers poked him, a surge of Chakra entered his body and blocked one of his pathways, making it so that Chakra couldn't pass through at all.
Any attempt to force Chakra through would cause immense pain.
"Although I don't know why you didn't dodge, from the moment your pressure points were struck by me, you had already lost." Though puzzled, Hyuga Neji did not stop, striking out continuously with both hands.
"Since you can't channel Chakra to your hands, you can't use your Monstrous Strength. Now many of your pressure points have been struck by me,
and Chakra can't flow through your limbs at all. From the moment you became my opponent, you were destined to lose."
"Has he really lost?" Many people were bewildered, not understanding what was happening.
"Teacher, is it really like that?" Sasuke Uchiha asked.
"Reasonably speaking, yes. The Hyuga Clan's pressure point striking can seal the flow of Chakra. Now that many of Sora's pressure points have been struck,
he is indeed at a disadvantage. But what puzzles me is why he didn't dodge." Kakashi Hatake's brow furrowed as well.
"It seems you are very confident in yourself, or rather, very confident in your Gentle Fist and Byakugan." Sora was noncommittal and didn't care at all.
He wasn't acting tough; he was doing it on purpose.
Only in this way could he fundamentally understand the Hyuga Clan's techniques.
That way, if he truly faced someone from the Hyuga Clan in the future, he would have the confidence to break their moves.
At the same time, he hadn't forgotten why he came to participate in the Chunin Exams: to see different techniques and Bloodline Limits.
Wasn't what he was doing now personally experiencing the mysteries of the Gentle Fist?
"Yes, a person's fate in life is inherently predetermined. Although I don't know why you didn't dodge, your fate is now sealed, you will lose to me," Hyuga Neji said.
"Is fate predetermined?" A trace of daze flashed through Sora's eyes.
From his life as an orphan to meeting Tsunade, his life began to transform, and his fate changed as well.
He was no longer an abandoned child, no longer an ordinary person.
But was all of this really just driven by fate? Without his persistence and effort since childhood, he would never have achieved what he had today.
"Since you believe fate is predetermined, then open your Byakugan wide and see clearly how I break through your so-called fate. Gentle Fist? It's nothing more than this. Open for me!"
In an instant, Sora's entire body's blood and qi surged through him like a mountain flood, and with a crack, all the sealed pressure points were forced open.
