Chapter 183: Earth Stone Bamboo Shoots

Unlike the slow progress of Yang Release.

Over the years, Dong Shilang's Yin Release cultivation progressed rapidly, and his genjutsu talent likewise improved to a higher level.

Not only does he have his family's Sharingan genjutsu, but he also has considerable skill in some five-sense genjutsu.

Especially the visual, auditory, and tactile genjutsu are his main research focus.

Visual genjutsu is fine; it has a slight connection to the Sharingan, and his family has a collection.

Auditory and tactile genjutsu are relatively rare!

Thanks to his Uchiha identity and the blessing of Teacher Zhongzheng, he found some materials from the family collection.

As for olfactory and gustatory genjutsu, even within the Uchiha clan with a rich family collection, there is hardly any material for study.

Only some simple introductions...

One can only say that these two genjutsu are extremely rare!

Within the whole Leaf Village, probably only the Yamanaka clan has some related collections. However, he cannot be sure whether those genjutsu have practical combat value.

Olfactory and gustatory genjutsu, compared to those that can be directly applied in combat, are more suitable for use in prepared situations.

This leads to their transmission being intermittent and unstable; moreover, the constraints on application make the already rare genjutsu ninjas lack interest in learning these two genjutsu.

……

Swish!

A blade of snow-white light, starting from Dong Shilang, points directly at the rock ninja's vital point.

Seeing his opponent fall into his genjutsu, Dong Shilang, who had just distanced himself from the opponent, directly uses Body Flicker Technique, preparing to finish the harvest.

Click! Click!

At that moment, a sound of earth and stone rubbing entered his ears.

This caused Dong Shilang, who had just arrived and tried to dispel his own genjutsu in front of the rock ninja, to change his expression.

In his heart, he silently exclaimed 'Here it comes!'

Although he had some preparations for the Hill Jonin choosing him as a breakthrough point. After all, his current state and the trouble he just caused the opponent make it likely the opponent will come after him.

But he never expected the opponent to launch an attack at this moment, and as soon as they struck, the timing was perfect.

It was exactly when he was using Body Flicker Technique, preparing to reap that special Jonin.

You should know that he just activated Body Flicker Technique, his whole body forming a straight line, instantly moving toward the opponent's position.

And that Hill Jonin actually could, at this moment, unleash an Earth Release obstacle, blocking in front of the rock ninja.

If handled poorly, the teleport‑into‑wall incident could happen again to him!

As for why it's again!

This happened from time to time in his previous life's gaming process~

However, if he were to truly experience it once in this ninja world, he couldn't bear it!

With the speed of Body Flicker Technique, if interrupted mid‑dash and hitting a wall, it's not like in his previous life's game where he might merely lose a chance to escape or drag down a team battle's outcome.

In the ninja world, a Body Flicker collision with a wall, if utterly unprepared, is no less than slamming into a high‑speed truck.

It's still him crashing into it!

The outcome is quite unpleasant!

To say he truly lives up to being a veteran Jonin, his experience is rich; a single move leaves Dong Shilang quite uncomfortable.

The timing was truly perfect!

Fortunately, Dong Shilang was not completely unprepared; when attacking, he did not use his utmost speed.

At the same time, through the Sharingan's high‑definition vision, he also detected an abnormality in his advance; plus, after years of arduous training and the results of bodily vitalization.

He merely extended his free left hand, lightly pushing off the edge of the obstacle, performed a 360‑degree spin, and flew over the obstacle.

Although he successfully dodged the attack, Dong Shilang dare not be the slightest bit careless. How could a Jonin's attack be only this?

Sure enough, before landing, Dong Shilang in mid‑air, via his Sharingan, saw the change in his landing point.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

He consecutively threw three shuriken toward a spot not far away, then flicked his wrist, and his body shifted several meters toward the shuriken's direction.

From the faintly visible threads in the air connecting those shuriken, one can tell that he relied on those threads to successfully dodge the opponent's second attack.

At the same time, to strengthen the bond between those shuriken and the soil on the grass, he transmitted a trace of chakra through his specially made threads, letting the shuriken grip the ground more firmly so he wouldn't lose his anchor while drifting mid‑move.

"Not good!"

But before he even truly landed, a sense of danger surged into his heart, giving him a feeling like a thorn in his back.

He looked down and saw that beneath his feet, at that moment, there were four dark‑brown, hard, slender protrusions like bamboo shoots, rapidly growing.

If he couldn't change his landing trajectory again, his fate would be miserable beyond imagination.

But by then he had already, via the shuriken and special steel wire, changed his landing point once and wanted to shift direction again, which was obviously too late.

"I didn't expect the opponent to have an ambush set up here as well!"

Looking at those, in the Sharingan's field of vision, slowly growing things, he knows that the spikes' growth speed appears slow only in the Sharingan's vision; actually, they grow incredibly fast.

If he were to land like that, he would definitely be skewered into a blood‑gourd.

The opponent's jutsu is also a simple C‑rank jutsu:

Earth Release: Earth Stone Bamboo Shoots

The function of this jutsu is to grow on the ground four stone spikes resembling freshly sprouted bamboo shoots.

The slender spikes will thrust from front, back, left, and right toward any enemy who falls into the jutsu's center, piercing the opponent's waist with their firm gold‑iron tips.

Truly vicious beyond compare!

Clang!

Four rapidly growing earth stone bamboo shoots finished growing just as Dong Shilang landed; the four shoots from different directions, growing toward the center, clashed together, emitting the tremor of metal weapons colliding.

The so-called bamboo shoots generally refer to the tender shoots of bamboo, and at the same time it can also refer to a woman's slender, jade-like hands,

and they are also an alternative name for the horizontal wooden beam used in ancient times to hang bells, chimes, and other musical instruments.
