Returning to his quarters, Hyuga Goryu noticed that his room had clearly been cleaned.
A certain delicate figure flashed through his mind, and a smile immediately spread across his face.
"A-Tian! Trust me! I won't let you suffer for much longer!"
Leaving those resolute words behind, Hyuga Goryu entered his vegetable-growing space.
"What's this?"
The moment he stepped into the space, Hyuga Goryu's gaze was immediately drawn to several strawberry plants in front of him.
"The strawberry seeds were coated with that Cloud ninja's blood. I reckon if you eat them, you'll awaken the lightning attribute!"
Seeing Hyuga Goryu's astonished expression, the shadow clone nearby explained with a smile.
"The blood of that Cloud Village Jonin? How's that possible? It's been days—wait! Could it be?!"
"You've probably already guessed it! The blood on the kunai has remained active this whole time!"
Looking at his stunned original self, the shadow clone handed over the kunai still stained with the Cloud Village Jonin's blood.
"I never thought that a casual move that day would bring me such a surprising reward!"
Gazing at the blood-stained kunai that looked as fresh as the day he acquired it, a glint of joy shone in Hyuga Goryu's eyes.
"Save the thoughts for later! Right now, the priority is to keep boosting your strength!"
Glancing at the ripened strawberries, the shadow clone reminded his original self.
"Got it! Here I go!"
Nodding with understanding, Hyuga Goryu sat cross-legged on the spot and began eating the strawberries in front of him.
Eating strawberries and refining chakra, Hyuga Goryu's cultivation surged at a rapid pace!
Seeing this, the shadow clone nearby smiled faintly and continued planting new strawberries with the blood.
It wasn't until the blood on the kunai was completely wiped clean that the shadow clone finally stopped.
But the shadow clone's efforts weren't in vain!
After consuming all the strawberries, Hyuga Goryu's cultivation skyrocketed straight to the Chunin level!
And as his cultivation rose, the vegetable-growing space before him began to expand once more!
When the expansion finally stopped, the space's length, width, and height had increased tenfold again!
Suppressing his excitement, Hyuga Goryu's gaze immediately turned to the upgrade gift pack in front of him!
With a thought, he opened it, and excitement once again gleamed in his eyes!
Bloodline Potency Enhancement Seed: Eating the matured fruit will increase the potency of one's bloodline!
Faced with a seed that could be called a "divine treasure," Hyuga Goryu buried it in the soil without hesitation.
After doing so, he began pouring a large amount of spiritual water onto the Bloodline Potency Enhancement Seed!
His only goal was to make the seed ripen into a fruit as soon as possible!
And his efforts paid off!
Under the generous watering of spiritual water, the seed, freshly planted in the soil, immediately began to sprout.
It then entered a state of rapid growth!
In just half an hour, the seed completed the process from planting to maturity.
As the fruit's fragrance wafted through the air, an intense longing from deep within his bloodline surged into Hyuga Goryu's mind.
There was no need to hesitate!
Following his instincts, Hyuga Goryu ate the freshly ripened fruit without a second thought.
In an instant, a powerful force swept through his entire body, ultimately converging in his eyes!
Then, a terrifying pressure erupted from Hyuga Goryu's eyes!
It even caused a slight spatial distortion in the space before him!
Though the overwhelming pressure lasted only a fleeting moment, it still left Hyuga Goryu utterly shocked!
"If I can control that pressure, it'll definitely become my trump card right now!"
Snapping out of his daze, Hyuga Goryu muttered to himself and immediately began recalling the sensation of that pressure bursting forth.
After some effort, he actually succeeded in releasing the pressure again!
A flash of excitement gleamed in his eyes, but feeling mentally fatigued, Hyuga Goryu left the vegetable-growing space with a thought.
Emerging from the space, Hyuga Goryu was stunned to find that it was already dark outside.
Rubbing his growling stomach with a bitter smile, he headed straight for the kitchen…
