231: Chapter 10 Ninja_3 231: Chapter 10 Ninja_3 “I remember the first contact between the ancient Ustus tribe and the Empire was…

war?”

“Right, both armies were fighting when the Dragon Disaster struck, and the war ended without a conclusion.

Then, during the post-war peace talks, Emperor Yong Guang said that the great Empire would now share with you the mystic techniques to resist the giant dragon.” Alice was animated, “When I first heard this, it felt so absurd—they really just did that!”

One was brave enough to teach, the other bold enough to learn; Gongsun Ce sincerely marveled at how honest and simple the ancients were a thousand years ago, rewarding virtue for spite.

In today’s world, let alone an emperor, not even a high school honor class’s class president would be so naive.

“I remember at the time the emperor was Emperor Xingan Chi Wenhuang, who is recognized as a wise ruler in historical records.”

“The historical accounts aren’t wrong.

Emperor Xingan wasn’t being generous for nothing; he struck a deal.

Unfortunately, the gentlemen of Yong Guang didn’t anticipate the barbarians’ cunning tactics, and got thoroughly tricked.

The term ‘Ustus’ became a running joke after that negotiation…”

Alice stopped midway, noticing the look on Gongsun Ce’s face, and suddenly realized.

She turned away, cutting him off: “Why am I even telling you all this!”

You’re pretty much enjoying it, though.

On second thought, Alice Adar had always been a good teacher; his foundational knowledge of the Impermanence Skill came largely from her explanations.

The young man with gray hair sighed once again, wishing that Alice could always be just Alice.

“Consider it a little knowledge sharing for a teammate; after all, we’re going to be acting together.

You wouldn’t want me to embarrass you with my ignorance, right?”

“Hisss…

you this…”

His words subtly touched upon Shiyu Ling’s sore spot, causing her to grapple with them seriously.

The Superpower User seized the opportunity to ask, “Can you tell me more about Zero Island?

For example, ninjas—I always thought they were just a career from novels and comics.”

The word ‘ninja’ elicited an immediate response, and Alice said without thinking, “Ninjas are a bunch of weirdos.”

What exactly is a profession even you call weird?

Alice spoke with a headache, “First of all, the way they talk is strange, and their way of thinking is even more…

I don’t know how to explain it, you’ll understand when you meet a real ninja.”

At that moment, a composed male voice came from the end of the corridor.

“—As for the introduction of ninjas, please allow the unworthy me to do the honors.”

The young man with gray hair looked up to see a middle-aged man in a white pilot’s uniform, walking out of the cockpit.

“Good evening, both of you.

I am the captain of this flight, Maoli Tuozai.

The technology of the City of the Skies is exceptional; the Lightning Caterpillar has switched to autopilot, so please rest assured.”

As the middle-aged captain introduced himself, he thoughtfully provided a comforting assurance, “The so-called ninjas are unique Impermanence Law Enforcers of Zero Island.

Ninjas have mastered countless ways of killing, including karate, judo, swordsmanship, hidden weapons, sumo, poisons, and at the same time possess expert-level knowledge of Impermanence Skills—they are relentless executioners behind iron masks!”

Gongsun Ce nodded along, “Seems ninjas are quite formidable.”

“Indeed!

During your visit, you will surely be opposing the Martial Arts Association, and ninjas are the strongest combatants under their command.” The captain unfolded a scroll and introduced the simple sketches one by one, “The Martial Arts Association ranks ninjas into three levels: the Hundred Refinement Level ninja at the Clarity Realm, the Thousand Refinement Level ninja at the Divine Communication Realm, and the Soul Cutting Level ninja who has reached the Manifestation Realm.”

Captain Maoli glanced at the blue-haired girl and stated categorically, “As a Soul Cutting ninja and Ninja Army Leader, evaluated by overall threat, they are stronger than Shiyu!”

Alice let out a sarcastic laugh without comment, while Gongsun Ce smiled and agreed, “Ninjas are strong!”

“Indeed, ninjas are strong!” Maoli replied seriously, “And life is precious!

That’s why I cannot stand idly by when someone with little basic knowledge, almost a rookie, heads to Zero Island!”

Gongsun Ce unbuckled his seatbelt and stood up in the aisle.

“If you have any advice, please don’t hesitate to share.”

“Most glad to.”

Beside Captain Maoli, the air stirred with the fluctuations of energy, distorting slightly.

An orange-yellow hue emerged from the void, guided by the power of the heart, and transformed into bands of cloth, armguards, and a mask…

turning into orange-yellow Ninja Equipment embellished with flame patterns!

In an imperceptible 0.1 second, the uniformed captain vanished.

In his place stood a true ninja equipped with a Heart Phase Weapon!

The ninja in orange-yellow Ninja Equipment brought his hands together, bowing forward with a ritual gesture of respect that not even the Ninja Army Leader could fault, offering a Holy greeting before the battle.

“domo, Demon-san.

I am Wildfire, formerly a Thousand Refinement Level ninja of the Martial Arts Association!”

Just with this greeting, he was utterly convinced by Miss Alice’s introduction.

…Indeed, ninjas are all weirdos.
