Naruto: The Strongest Training System

Chapter 23: The Soon-to-Be-Opened Yangbai Point

The feeling of dizziness grew heavier and heavier, but he still hadn't successfully opened the Yangbai point. Orion knew that the time left for him was running out. He had to speed up, speed up the assault on the Yangbai point. Otherwise, by the time he fainted, he would no longer have the chance to attack it.

"Charge!" Orion issued this command in his mind.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Orion could clearly hear these sounds. They were the result of Orion issuing the command to charge.

It was also because Orion issued this command that all his chakra faithfully carried out his order. All of it gathered together and, in one go, charged towards that final Yangbai point.

The amount of chakra Orion had left was not much, only a small stream. But this small stream was enough to pose a threat to that final Yangbai point, because that point had less than one-fifth left to be opened. Therefore, even if this stream of chakra was small, Orion still had a chance to open the final point.

As long as he opened the final Yangbai point, and added it to the eight major points he had opened before, the opening of these nine major points could successfully activate a heaven-defying ninjutsu. That ninjutsu was the Eye of God.

But now was not the time to be happy, because that final point, the Yangbai point, had not yet been opened. The nine major points had not yet become one, so he still couldn't successfully activate the heaven-defying ninjutsu, the Eye of God.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The chakra continuously assaulted that final, stubborn Yangbai point. Time passed bit by bit, and the Yangbai point was like a small boat swaying in the vast ocean, about to be capsized by the wind and waves at any moment.

Slowly, slowly, the amount of chakra Orion had left became less and less. Although that final Yangbai point was also getting weaker and weaker, right now, there was really no more time to take things slowly.

If Orion were to use the remaining trace of chakra to slowly attack, it would definitely be impossible to successfully open the Yangbai point. On top of that, the dizzy feeling in his head was becoming more and more obvious. It was as if, if I were to relax my mind even slightly, I could fall onto the bed in the next second and get a good night's sleep.

There was no more time for Orion to take it slow. Orion understood his own body's condition very well. The last chance now was to concentrate all his chakra, to invest all of it into assaulting the Yangbai point at once. If he couldn't succeed this time, then I would have truly failed.

And the consequences of failure were also extremely terrifying: death or becoming a cripple unable to use chakra.

Driven by these two terrifying consequences, Orion had to use all his strength. He could not afford a single moment of slack. He would use all the chakra he could concentrate to make one final assault on that last Yangbai point.

Do or die. I estimate this phrase was meant for a time like this.

But if he really failed this time, I wouldn't have any regrets. Orion wouldn't complain about anything, because he had tried his best. I had done everything I could to do my best. It was also possible that it was Orion's personality that led him to make such a decision.

If he still failed even after all this, then he would accept it. If Orion failed, it would mean he just didn't have the fate, didn't have the destiny to become a powerhouse. He had already done his best with what he could do. The final result could only be left to providence.

In the vicinity of the Yangbai point near Orion's eyes, trickles of chakra were floating about scattered. What he needed to do now was to gather all this scattered chakra so that they could make one final assault on the Yangbai point.

Under the mobilization of Orion's spiritual energy, the chakra scattered around the Yangbai point slowly gathered. This chakra drew closer and closer, and in the end, it all merged together. Orion fused all this chakra into a sharp spear.

This spear, forged from chakra, looked as if it possessed infinite power. Especially the sharp tip of the spear; it looked even sharper, as if it could pierce through a person's body with a single strike.

When Orion saw this spear in his mind, he felt that the time was about right. It was about time for the final all-out attack. Let's see if, after the attack of this spear, that Yangbai point could be opened by me.

With a single thought, Orion gave the spear the command to attack.

"Swoosh!"

After my command, the spear moved with incredible speed, piercing towards that Yangbai point. A second later, the spear heavily stabbed into the thin protective membrane of the Yangbai point, piercing a hole. But the chakra spear was also stuck.

After one second, there was no reaction. After two seconds, still no reaction. Am I really going to fail in the end?

Orion thought this in his heart. A thick sense of unwillingness welled up inside him. I don't want to fail. I don't want to taste the bitterness of failure. I want to succeed.

Seeing that the spear had not yet disappeared, I knew I still had a chance. I still had a chance to successfully open this Yangbai point that was trapping me. As long as I could control that spear that had not yet disappeared and continue to attack, then there was still a chance.

So Orion frantically mobilized that spear that was stuck in the Yangbai point. "Move, move! Move for me!"

Orion was extremely anxious in his heart. Under the mobilization of his mind, that spear forged from chakra did not budge in the slightest, not even a tiny bit. This result made Orion even more anxious.

But besides this, there were no other methods. Orion could only continue to mobilize that spear forged from my chakra. After one minute, then two minutes, that spear forged from my chakra still hadn't moved at all.

Just as Orion was mobilizing that spear forged from his own chakra for the third minute, that chakra spear finally showed a slight tremor. Although it was only a tiny tremor, it gave Orion hope. It gave him the hope that he could successfully open this final point, the Yangbai point.

After seeing this hope, Orion's mobilization of his spiritual energy to control the chakra became even more frantic. That spiritual energy frantically took control of the chakra spear, allowing him to control it.

Time passed, second by second, minute by minute. At this moment, the sweat on Orion's forehead was like rain, dripping down endlessly without a moment's pause, constantly dripping onto the bed he was sitting on.

At this time, Orion's face also grew paler and paler, and the feeling of dizziness in his head became heavier and heavier. It seemed as if everything had reached the most critical moment.

In his mind, that chakra spear, after that one slight tremor, was now constantly shaking under my control. And the Yangbai point, which had been pierced by the chakra spear, was just a little bit away from being opened by me.

Orion stopped his manipulation and, after resting for a moment, once again increased the force with which he controlled the chakra spear. Orion decided to go all in. He would mobilize all his spiritual energy to control the chakra spear, even the spiritual energy that was resisting the feeling of dizziness.

The crisis descended in an instant. The time he had left was already running out.
