ACSP: Chapter 20: Shadow Clone is a Trash Skill?
Li Yanran was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
She had originally wanted to come over and tell Jiang Chen about what happened to the Chen Family last night.
After all, he had some history with the Chen Family before.
But she never expected that.
The Fourth Elder of the Chen Family was actually killed by Jiang Chen.
After the shock, Li Yanran's expression changed, and she said solemnly, "Jiang Chen, I don't know how you killed that Fourth Elder of the Chen Family, but this matter is no small thing. If the Chen Family finds out it was you who killed him, it'll be disastrous. So, you'd better keep this matter to yourself and never mention it to outsiders, okay?"
Jiang Chen spoke indifferently, "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for my own actions and won't involve your City Lord's Mansion."
However, hearing these words, Li Yanran immediately became furious.
She grabbed Jiang Chen's collar and gritted her teeth, saying, "Jiang Chen, are you insulting our City Lord's Mansion? I'm telling you, since you've already joined the City Lord's Mansion, you'll be under our protection. Besides, I know exactly what happened—it was the Chen Family who sent people to assassinate us first. If they really come to demand an explanation, then our City Lord's Mansion will play along with them to the end. You want to play the lone hero? No way!"
After saying that, she let go of Jiang Chen with an indignant expression.
Jiang Chen looked at Li Yanran with some surprise.
He hadn't expected that his words just now would anger this woman.
However, he knew very well in his heart that she was angry because she cared about him.
As the saying goes, true feelings are revealed in times of trouble.
Although Li Yanran's contract partner, Kurenai Yuhi, wasn't anything special, her character was certainly commendable.
He had been considering building his own power as soon as possible.
And now, hadn't someone just delivered themselves to his door?
"Li Yanran, aren't you curious in your heart how I, a Level 20 Contractor, could kill the Level 63 Fourth Elder of the Chen Family?"
Jiang Chen took the initiative to speak as he looked at Li Yanran.
Li Yanran hesitated for a moment and said, "Could it be that you used explosive tags to ambush him again?"
Jiang Chen was speechless.
So in this woman's eyes, the only way he could kill a Contractor with a higher level than himself was by using explosive tags?
"You contracted a Jonin, so you should have many basic Ninjutsu on you now, right?"
Jiang Chen changed the subject and continued asking.
The biggest difference between a Jonin Contractor and a Genin Contractor is the number of skills they possess.
Generally speaking, after completing the contract ceremony, a Genin Contractor usually only obtains three basic skills.
Namely, the Transformation Technique, Clone Technique, and Body Replacement Technique.
A Chunin Contractor, on the other hand, would have one or two additional low-level elemental skills or mastery over hidden weapons and swordsmanship.
The higher the ninja rank of the contracted target, the more skills one obtains.
"Yes, but besides the Three Body Technique, most of my Ninjutsu skills are Genjutsu."
Perhaps out of trust for Jiang Chen, Li Yanran held nothing back at this moment and decisively listed all the skills she possessed.
Jiang Chen nodded upon hearing this. "Ninjutsu skills are ever-changing. Although the Three Body Technique consists of the most basic skills, if you use them well, these three Ninjutsu won't be weaker than other high-level Ninjutsu. Especially the Body Replacement Technique—you must practice this skill more, until you can perform a hand-seal-less replacement."
The Body Replacement Technique is the most practical skill among the Three Body Technique.
Its effect is comparable to a life-saving divine skill.
However, people in this world do not have a high understanding of this technique.
Many people only regard it as the lowest-level trash skill.
Let alone becoming familiar with it, few people even perform it in actual combat.
They would rather use the faster Body Flicker Technique to dodge attacks than spend a lot of time practicing the Body Replacement Technique.
Of course.
Besides the Body Replacement Technique.
People in this world also have major misunderstandings regarding elemental Ninjutsu.
Some even believe that the Wood Release Bloodline Limit is inferior to Fire Release Ninjutsu.
It's the same for the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Because overuse leads to blindness, this Bloodline Limit is known as the Cursed Eyes.
Through these eyes, one can obtain powerful ocular techniques in a short time.
But the price is losing one's sight forever.
"Hand-seal-less replacement? I will definitely practice that well."
Li Yanran had just seen Jiang Chen use the Body Replacement Technique in combination with explosive tags to counter-kill a Level 50+ Chunin Contractor yesterday, so she did not reject his suggestion.
Jiang Chen said, "Not just the Body Replacement Technique, the Transformation Technique and Clone Technique are also very important. Of course, it would be even better if you could get the Shadow Clone."
Li Yanran froze for a moment and said, "Forget about the Shadow Clone skill. Although that thing is a physical clone, it consumes too much Chakra, and the clone disappears with a single touch. It's not really useful."
From Li Yanran's evaluation of the Shadow Clone, it was clear that people in this world had no understanding of it at all.
They only felt that it was a skill that extremely depleted Chakra.
In response, Jiang Chen could only recount the specific details of how he assassinated the Fourth Elder of the Chen Family yesterday.
Li Yanran was completely stunned after listening.
She hadn't expected that the Shadow Clone and Transformation Technique could be used together like that.
No wonder the Fourth Elder of the Chen Family was killed.
An object in one's hand suddenly turning into an enemy and launching an attack at the same time—who could react to that?
Jiang Chen continued, "There are no useless Ninjutsu in this world, only useless users. As long as any skill is used properly, it can exert effects far beyond its original intent."
Li Yanran felt as if she had discovered a new world and became extremely excited. "Jiang Chen, you're just too awesome! I feel like your understanding of these basic Ninjutsu is even better than those seniors who completed their contract ceremonies three years ago."
Jiang Chen smiled and said nothing.
In his previous life, he was a standard Naruto fan.
He had watched the 720 episodes of Naruto repeatedly several times.
Sometimes when scrolling through Douyin and seeing high-intensity Naruto battle videos, he would specifically stop for a few minutes.
He knew the characteristics of those Ninjutsu in Naruto by heart long ago.
How could those guys who had only been playing with Ninjutsu for three years possibly compare to him?
...
After bidding farewell to Jiang Chen, Li Yanran pondered for a long time and finally decided to report this matter to her father.
There was no other way; the life of the Fourth Elder of the Chen Family was too valuable.
Now the entire Jinghai City was searching for the murderer who killed him, causing a huge uproar.
It was only a matter of time before the Chen Family traced it back here.
In order to help Jiang Chen escape when the time came, she had to make preparations in advance.
"I didn't expect that kid Jiang Chen to be able to go to such lengths."
"It seems I underestimated his abilities before."
After learning that Jiang Chen was the one who killed the Fourth Elder of the Chen Family, Li Hongfei was also severely shocked.
However, he felt more excitement and thrill in his heart.
He felt that he had truly found a treasure this time.
A Level 20 graduating student had actually broken into the Chen Family's inner residence alone and killed one of their elders before anyone else could react, then managed to retreat safely without leaving a single trace.
With this kind of assassination method...
He was many times more powerful than the assassins trained by the City Lord's Mansion.
The key was that his understanding of Ninjutsu was actually more thorough than his own, and he was among the first batch of people to complete the contract ceremony.
This was no longer something that could be determined by the strength of the contract target.
It was his own innate combat talent.
If this kind of person were to grow up, let alone the Chen Family's Chen Chuxi...
Even those Super-Kage Level Contractors would probably be trampled under his feet.
