Yare yare! Lin Ke supported his face with his left hand, his right arm draped over the crook of his left arm, his expression aloof, his legs tilted forward, and his upper body leaned back, making his entire posture look exceptionally strange.
"Thump!" After a few seconds, he fell to the ground, the effect of the Clone Jutsu dispelled, the injuries and paralysis of his body erased, and his scattered consciousness gradually recovered. He lay on the ground and swallowed two Soldier Pills.
Good, it worked.
He felt the large amount of Chakra that had just been extracted from his body and couldn't help but smile.
After some research, Lin Ke had successfully found the way to overtake others on a curve that he was best at—
Since it hurts, then I'll just take an anesthetic secret medicine. How can you say I'm in pain when my whole body is numb? He completely ignored the idea that opening the Opening Gate would grant a strong body and invincible speed.
What he wanted was to open the body's restrictions to extract a large amount of Chakra.
Once he had identified his goal, he broke free from the dead end he had initially gotten into. Who said the Eight Gates Formation was Taijutsu? Why did he have to kick through a stone to be considered successful?
Lin Ke chose the most unorthodox method: Clone Jutsu, then popping a pill that paralyzed his entire body.
He tested it over and over for several days before he could enter a state of anesthetized awakening after taking the pill and maintain a cool expression while standing, instead of looking like a special needs person.
It was just that he couldn't do anything about his body posture. Being able to stand after being anesthetized was already the result of hard work; he'd deal with the rest later.
Once he regained consciousness, he controlled his Chakra to open the Eight Gates Formation. The pain was covered by the anesthesia, and with the Clone Jutsu, he didn't care about the damage to his body.
In this state, he definitely couldn't even think about moving. His little workshop always used potent ingredients, and the anesthetic secret medicine he had developed was so strong that even a large Summoned Beast would probably drool over it.
After all, the first two of the Eight Gates were in the head, and the pain started from the head after opening them. The anesthetic had to be strong enough to completely paralyze the body's nerves.
According to his calculations, after taking the anesthetic, his body should be able to withstand the third Life Gate, but there was no need. Being able to open the second Rest Gate for a short time to continuously squeeze his body and extract a large amount of Chakra was enough.
The key was that the time he could keep the Eight Gates open had nothing to do with his own endurance, but was mainly linked to the effectiveness of the anesthetic. If the anesthetic wore off early and he didn't close the Eight Gates and cancel the Clone Jutsu, he would faint on the spot.
So he had to grasp the timing and scale well, or he would be finished with the slightest mistake.
Others opened the Eight Gates and jumped around everywhere, but Lin Ke could only stand still when he opened the Eight Gates, using the special effects of the Mystical Palm Technique to move his arms back and forth and form hand seals.
He had completely transformed into a stationary turret.
In fact, his close combat ability in Eight Gates Mode wasn't weak. If he stacked Super Lin Ke Mode on top of it, his strength would increase geometrically. With the Mystical Palm Technique, a single slap would be extremely terrifying, a bit like Tsunade's monstrous strength, except that his body was anesthetized and he couldn't move.
Perhaps I can use it for fishing... Lin Ke thought, feeling that it would be quite satisfying to have a stationary turret that could smash people to pieces with a single slap.
Moreover, his Eight Gates Mode had an ultimate finishing move. The Mystical Palm Technique wasn't just a simple healing ability. The afflicted areas that were extracted were attached to his hand. By using all the Chakra gained from opening the gates on the Mystical Palm Technique to end the Eight Gates and heal his body, he could knock someone down with a single touch.
The damage, pain, and paralysis were all transferred to someone else in one go. An ordinary person should collapse on the spot.
He wondered if this move would have any effect on Sasori.
To be precise, could pain, damage, and paralysis be transferred to a Human Puppet?
Anyway, he had tested it, and the extracted afflictions were definitely useless on inanimate objects. He couldn't transfer them to stones or anything like that. Currently, it only worked on animals, and even plants didn't feel anything. He didn't know if it was because trees didn't have corresponding organs or what.
In summary, the entire process of the Eight Gates Mode was: first, release the Clone Jutsu to prepare for erasing the damage at the end of the battle, take the pill to open the Eight Gates, and use the characteristics of the Mystical Palm Technique to release Ninjutsu.
Successfully developed. It's time to go to the Land of Waves and then come back to prepare for the Three Countries Alliance Meeting in a few days...
The Soldier Pills took effect, and Lin Ke recovered from his weakened state. He sat up and gave himself two shots of the Mystical Palm Technique, mainly because he was afraid that the Clone Jutsu hadn't erased all the damage.
He could now use the Eight Gates Mode in a preliminary way, but he still had to continue to train his body. He couldn't open the Eight Gates if his body strength wasn't enough. He could open three gates because his body strength was already sufficient after using the Mystical Palm Technique to overtake others on a curve. What he lacked was willpower, physical adaptation, and tolerance for pain.
The slightest mistake in his Eight Gates Mode would cause the pain to knock him unconscious. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes. Once something went wrong, he would be at the mercy of others. He definitely had to continue training until he wouldn't faint from the pain.
It was just that being unable to move while standing still was quite troublesome. If someone threw a large-scale Ninjutsu at him, he could only have his shadow carry him away.
There was also the problem of drug resistance. Taking too much anesthetic would also lead to drug resistance. After only half a month, he felt that the effect of the anesthetic was starting to weaken. He had no idea how to solve this problem next.
Then, as soon as he entered Eight Gates Mode, the strong anesthetic effect would make him dazed for a while before he could regain his senses. It probably wouldn't be so easy to use in actual combat. He had to practice this aspect continuously in the future to be able to use it normally in battle.
Moreover, the effect of the second Rest Gate was to open the body's restrictions on physical fatigue. How much extra Chakra he could extract depended entirely on how much his body could withstand. In theory, he could directly squeeze his body until it started to dissipate like Might Guy in the finale.
He had to pay attention to the scale, or he would perform a vanishing act on the spot.
Who knew if the Clone Jutsu could still save him if his body dissipated.
Of course, the biggest problem was that the body's storage of physical energy was limited. Opening Eight Gates Mode and Super Lin Ke Mode both consumed existing reserves and didn't bring new energy out of thin air.
Unless he ate himself into a big fatso like an Akimichi, relying on fat to store energy, there would always be an upper limit.
There are still too many problems to be solved, and the road to development is long and arduous.
Lin Ke's method has many shortcomings, but it also has advantages. When others open the Eight Gates, they need to keep moving, which increases the burden on their bodies. He can stand still and save more energy to refine Chakra, while not causing additional damage to his body.
In general, the Eight Gates Mode he developed himself is already close to maturity for him.
His current means of dealing with enemies is to enter different modes: the regular Super Soldier Pills, the Super Lin Ke Mode that increases Chakra refinement and burst, and finally the Eight Gates Mode that squeezes the body.
Step by step, gradually increasing his Chakra flow and tapping into his body's potential, at least he won't be short on mana when facing opponents in the early and mid stages.
