Chapter 197: Perspective
One week later.
In the training room.
Bai Shi, sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of silver light passing through them, giving the illusion that he could see through everything.
In fact, it was close.
After seven days of evolution, his Ice Escape hadn't improved much, but his Super Vision had advanced.
There were no surprises; the ability he gained from this advancement was exactly what he expected: Perspective.
At Level I, Super Vision: Dynamic Vision granted him insight comparable to the kaleidoscope Sharingan.
Now, Super Vision: Perspective gave him a vision similar to the Byakugan.
'Perspective~'
With a thought, Bai Shi activated this ability.
Immediately, everything in front of him turned black and white, just like the vision when the Byakugan is activated.
This was not a coincidence but a necessity because the abilities gained from evolution largely depended on his guidance.
Previously, when he guided his eyes to evolve, he referenced the Byakugan.
Therefore, it was not surprising that he evolved a similar vision.
"However..."
Bai Shi looked around and found that his Perspective ability was far inferior to the Byakugan.
First, in terms of distance, he initially judged that he could only see through objects within two hundred meters, while the Byakugan could see up to one kilometer.
Secondly, his field of view was no different from an ordinary person. When activated, Perspective allowed him to see only about one hundred degrees ahead.
The Byakugan, on the other hand, had a field of view of three hundred sixty degrees, letting him see things in all directions.
Thus, the gap between the two was evident.
Of course, as Super Vision: Perspective evolved, this gap would narrow somewhat, such as in terms of perspective distance.
From the current situation, once he filled the progress bar of Perspective, the distance he could see should not be weaker than that of the Byakugan's one kilometer.
In fact, it might be even further.
But in terms of field of view, even if he maxed out the progress bar, it would likely still not compare to the Byakugan; after all, the Byakugan is hardly weaker than the Sharingan.
Without the corresponding bloodline limit, surpassing it would be impossible except through specific evolution.
What is specific evolution?
Specific evolution refers to guiding the body to evolve some structures that differ from normal human anatomy, such as growing eyes on the back of one's head.
If Bai Shi had a pair of eyes grow on the back of his head, he could naturally gain a broader field of view and thus keep up with the Byakugan.
But would Bai Shi make such a choice?
The answer is: definitely not.
Because he had no need to compete with the Byakugan; he hadn't forgotten his original purpose for guiding his evolution to gain Perspective.
From beginning to end, his goal was singular: to observe his own body with this ability to assist in opening the chakra points in his meridians.
With this thought in mind, Bai Shi shifted his gaze back to his body.
In an instant, the chakra meridians became crystal clear before his eyes.
He saw countless fine tubes winding around various organs and tissues spread throughout his body, with three hundred sixty-one chakra points clearly visible.
Among them, eight locations had a particularly dense concentration of chakra points where numerous meridians intertwined. These eight locations were known as the Eight Gates.
The Eight Gates Technique involves opening these eight chakra points to remove restrictions on chakra flow, thereby enhancing physical techniques by dozens of times at the cost of self-damage.
This explains why the explosive power of the Eight Gates Technique is so strong.
Without the restrictions of chakra points, the amount of chakra that can be output in a given time dramatically increases, naturally enhancing explosive power.
As for bodily damage, this is equally understandable.
The Eight Gates opened are indeed where chakra points are most concentrated but comprise less than one-sixth of the entire human body.
In other words, after opening the Eight Gates Technique, there are still over three hundred chakra points left unopened within the body.
Though these points exist only in some minor areas, their cumulative effect cannot be underestimated.
It's important to note that human chakra meridians function as a whole and are interconnected. If you remove restrictions from the main parts but neglect others, problems are bound to arise!
Why does blood congestion occur after reaching the Third Gate: Life Gate with the Eight Gates Technique? Why does blood even evaporate later?
Isn't it because other areas cannot accommodate such a vast amount of chakra, causing it to overflow within the meridians and run amok in the body, leading to ruptured blood vessels?
Thus, it's not hard to understand why practicing the Eight Gates Technique requires such strong physical attributes.
Only with sufficient physical strength can one withstand the side effects of the Eight Gates Technique.
In this light, it seems that the Eight Gates Technique is very suitable for Bai Shi's training. If his physical strength ranks second in the ninja world, nobody would dare claim first place.
Unfortunately, Bai Shi's ambitions lie elsewhere.
Although he is confident in enduring the backlash from the Eight Gates Technique, its boost in combat power pales compared to his goals.
His objective is to open all chakra points in his body and completely remove restrictions on chakra flow.
And achieving this requires a reasonable plan.
Practicing the Eight Gates technique recklessly will undoubtedly affect the opening of other chakra points.
Doing so would not only damage his body and slow down evolution speed but also disrupt his rhythm and impact overall progress.
So why practice the Eight Gates Technique at all?
Even if he doesn't practice this technique, as long as he can successfully open all chakra points within himself, he can still obtain the power of the Eight Gates Technique.
Moreover, without its side effects, he could potentially unleash greater strength than someone who specifically trained in it.
However...
This process is destined not to be simple.
To create a reasonable plan, numerous experiments are necessary for success.
Bai Shi anticipates that for a long time ahead, he will need to focus on theoretical research.
"Well... I might need some experimental subjects."
After pondering for a moment, Bai Shi shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He then summoned 'the system,' opened the panel, and prepared to adjust his evolution direction.
He need not worry about experimental subjects; although there aren't many people around him, he has plenty of subordinates.
When the time comes, with just one command, they will willingly return to cooperate with his experiments.
His gaze swept across various abilities on the panel and finally landed on Natural Energy Affinity.
After a week of fragmented evolutions, his Natural Energy Affinity had risen from X (92.1%) to X (98.7%).
"This is it..."
Bai Shi murmured and decided to focus his next evolution direction on Natural Energy Affinity.
It was already on the verge of advancing and required little effort for a breakthrough.
Once achieved, he could invest more time and energy into Ice Escape.
