Chapter 078: Garaga Evolves, Ruby Dragon!
Before the Taijutsu Rankings refresh.
The Golden List livestream room was unsealed, and countless shinobi began to chat. Initially, the chat was chaotic, but after a while, it became more organized.
[Hashirama Senju: Hahaha, I can finally speak again!]
[Madara Uchiha: Heh, what's the point? After the rankings refresh, you won't be able to speak again!]
[Hashirama Senju: Madara, can you not bring that up!]
[Madara Uchiha: No, I can't!]
[Might Guy: This is the third time the Taijutsu Rankings are refreshing; there shouldn't be much change, right?]
[Fourth Raikage A: There shouldn't be. The progress of taijutsu users is almost the same, and it's not the second refresh, so everything should be stable now. The rankings should remain more or less the same, with maybe just one or two changes.]
[Might Guy: I wonder if the rewards this time will be the same as the last time the rankings refreshed. If they are worse, then it's not worth it.]
[Third Raikage: The rewards shouldn't be too different!]
[Hiashi Hyuga: I hope they're just slightly weaker than the last rewards!]
Soon, the Taijutsu Rankings began to officially refresh.
As before, the Taijutsu Rankings refreshed starting from the first place. When refreshing, the first-place position would flash with golden light. Once the flashing stopped, it meant the update was complete. Each flash represented a change in ranking.
At this moment, the first place started to refresh!
Originally, the first place on the Taijutsu Rankings was Ye Tian's incomplete version of the Body of Pangu. But soon, it changed.
[Taijutsu Rankings First Place: Glazed Golden Body, User: Ye Tian]
[Might Guy: Huh, why did the first place on the Taijutsu Rankings change to Glazed Golden Body? Wasn't it supposed to be the Body of Pangu?]
[Kakashi: Clearly, Ye Tian has created another taijutsu technique that surpasses the Body of Pangu!]
[Fourth Raikage A: Is he trying to make life difficult for everyone? Ye Tian already has so many taijutsu techniques on the list, can't he leave us a bit of space? If he keeps creating taijutsu techniques like this, our rankings will keep dropping!]
[Hiashi Hyuga: Luckily, the Hyuga clan has quite a few taijutsu techniques on the list, otherwise, we'd be devastated!]
[Kisame Hoshigaki: Ye Tian has created another taijutsu technique that surpasses the previous one. His strength must be even more formidable now!]
At this point, the second place on the Taijutsu Rankings was also updated.
The second place was the previously incomplete version of the Body of Pangu, pushed down by the Glazed Golden Body. Third place was Ultra Instinct, fourth was the Kaioken, and fifth was now True Dragon Fist.
Originally, everyone thought the sixth place should be Ye Tian's Indestructible Vajra Body.
But soon, they were shocked.
[Taijutsu Rankings Sixth Place: Eight Gates Release, Night Guy, User: Might Guy]
[Fourth Raikage A: Huh? Why is Might Guy's Eight Gates Release, Night Guy in sixth place? Shouldn't it be the Indestructible Vajra Body?]
[Kakashi: Yeah, Ye Tian's Indestructible Vajra Body was clearly in fifth place before. Now that Glazed Golden Body has appeared and taken first place, everything else should have dropped one spot, so why is sixth place Night Guy instead of Indestructible Vajra Body?]
[Might Guy: Hahahaha, I don't know why, but I'm just happy that my Night Guy is still in sixth place and hasn't dropped!]
[Naruto: Could it be that Ye Tian has abandoned his taijutsu techniques?]
[Sakura Haruno: Abandoned his taijutsu techniques? Naruto, can you stop being so childish? I really don't understand why the Golden List values your talk-no-jutsu so highly!]
[Tsunade: Abandoning his taijutsu techniques is impossible. If you think about it, there's only one possibility: Glazed Golden Body is an evolution of the Indestructible Vajra Body. Ye Tian transformed the Indestructible Vajra Body into this more powerful Glazed Golden Body, so the Indestructible Vajra Body no longer exists. Since they are the same technique, it can't occupy two spots!]
[Shikaku Nara: The Fifth Hokage's reasoning makes sense. That must be it!]
[Gaara: I admire Ye Tian. He can so easily create such powerful taijutsu techniques!]
Next, Might Guy's Eight Gates Release, Evening Elephant refreshed, but its rank remained unchanged at seventh place.
However, the eighth place changed.
Originally, the eighth place was Might Guy's Daytime Tiger, but it was now replaced by another taijutsu technique.
[Taijutsu Rankings Eighth Place: Destruction Fist, User: Beerus]
"Destruction Fist ranks eighth on the Taijutsu Rankings, huh? Not bad. Without the Enlightenment Fruit, I relied on my own skills to create Destruction Fist, surpassing Might Guy's Daytime Tiger. That's a decent achievement. Given enough time, surpassing Night Guy shouldn't be too difficult!" Beerus muttered.
Moreover, he felt that more than one person had created taijutsu techniques this time. Perhaps others under his master's command had also created new taijutsu techniques, like Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong's strength was immense. Previously, he focused only on sage techniques, but now he must be studying taijutsu as well.
If Sun Wukong were to create a taijutsu technique, it wouldn't be much weaker than his Destruction Fist.
[Might Guy: Beerus created another taijutsu technique, surpassing my Daytime Tiger. My Daytime Tiger is now only in ninth place. Sigh!]
[Kakashi: Guy, don't be upset. It's only one rank lower.]
[Fourth Raikage A: You talk as if you're the only one who dropped a rank. We all dropped a rank! The shinobi who were barely hanging on at a hundredth place are the ones who really lost out—they got kicked off the list entirely!]
[Might Guy: Okay, thinking about it that way, I do feel better!]
At this point, the ninth place on the Taijutsu Rankings was refreshing.
Might Guy thought it would be his Eight Gates Release, Daytime Tiger, as did everyone else.
But they were immediately dumbfounded.
[Taijutsu Rankings Ninth Place: King of Apes Step, User: Sun Wukong]
[Might Guy: Huh? Where's my Daytime Tiger? It was supposed to be in ninth place. How did this King of Apes Step suddenly appear?]
[Kurama: Four-Tails, you're amazing! You actually created the King of Apes Step!!!]
[Gyūki: Four-Tails, you're incredible!!!]
[Shukaku: Four-Tails, we bow to you! Creating such an amazing taijutsu technique—teach us, brothers!]
[Four-Tails: Get lost! You guys are mocking me, aren't you? You all know that this Sun Wukong isn't me, but you still mess with me like this!!!! I've already been captured, and you're still doing this!]
[Shukaku: Four-Tails, I've been captured too, what's the big deal?]
[Fourth Raikage A: Even Ye Tian's summon, Sun Wukong, has created a taijutsu technique that has pushed our techniques down in the rankings. My father's Lightning Release Armor has dropped quite a bit.]
[Hiashi Hyuga: Let's hope not every summon creates a taijutsu technique, or that would be really frustrating!]
[Fourth Raikage A: Hiashi, don't jinx it!]
"King of Apes Step is only in ninth place, one rank lower than Beerus' Destruction Fist. It seems I need to spend some time perfecting King of Apes Step."
Sun Wukong muttered to himself.
King of Apes Step was a technique he developed by combining the aura of the Lingming Stone Monkey with the physical pressure of his body. It was not just a movement technique but also a taijutsu technique that could intimidate opponents.
So far, Sun Wukong had only created two steps; he hadn't yet developed the third.
If he could create the third step, it would undoubtedly surpass Beerus' Destruction Fist.
The main reason he wanted to create King of Apes Step was that it was incredibly domineering and suited his style. Walking step by step in mid-air while killing enemies—what a stylish technique!
Of course, this wasn't the only technique he had created. He also developed the King of Apes Fist, but it wasn't as high-level as King of Apes Step, so he didn't put as much effort into it.
Soon, the Taijutsu Rankings refreshed the tenth place.
[Taijutsu Rankings Tenth Place: Destruction Finger]
[Might Guy: What? The tenth place is Beerus' Destruction Finger? Last place, his Destruction Finger wasn't even as strong as my Daytime Tiger, so how did it suddenly surpass it?]
[Fourth Raikage A: Guy, you can train, and so can others. Last time, it was probably just a preliminary creation, so the technique wasn't fully developed. But now, Destruction Finger's power has increased significantly. Just like how only the best practitioner of a technique can make it onto the list.]
[Might Guy: Sigh, my Daytime Tiger has completely fallen out of the top ten!]
[Fourth Hokage: My Thousand Years of Death Technique Has Long Since Fallen Out of the Top Ten!]
Soon, the eleventh place on the Taijutsu rankings was updated. This time, Might Guy's Daytime Tiger finally appeared, taking the eleventh position on the list.
