While Ye Lan was lost in thought, he suddenly heard the sound of rushing water up ahead.
Ye Lan quickly looked up and indeed saw a very narrow river!
A strange feeling welled up inside Ye Lan as he witnessed this scene. He stood there, dumbfounded, unable to speak, only his trembling hands betraying his excitement.
Ye Lan muttered to himself, "The heavens really do reward those who work hard..."
Without further thought, Ye Lan performed a stylish dive into the water, moving with the speed of a sprinter in a hundred-meter dash.
Then, using all his might, he thrashed about several times!
In the end, Ye Lan didn't catch many fish, but he did swallow a bellyful of water...
Ye Lan climbed onto the bank, looking utterly miserable...
Shouting at the river, "I don't believe it!"
Ye Lan closed his eyes, recalling the System's prompts in his mind, and slowly began to form hand seals – Hare, Horse, Snake, Dragon, Rat, Ox, Tiger!
At that moment, Ye Lan took a deep breath.
Then, feeling the sensation in his body, Ye Lan immediately roared, "Fire Release! Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!!"
Following this, Ye Lan's mouth formed an "O" shape, and a pillar of fire erupted from it!
Even more impressive, the length of the fire pillar was nearly a hundred meters!
At the same time, as the ninjutsu activated, Ye Lan also felt a large amount of Chakra in his body continuously converging towards his mouth, transforming into flames. Seeing this, Ye Lan's heart was filled with joy; after all, this was the first time he had properly released a ninjutsu.
Once the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet was unleashed, Ye Lan naturally aimed it at the river!
The moment the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet's flames made contact with the river water, billowing white smoke instantly rose from the surface, and a large area of the river's water evaporated!
Furthermore, as the flames spewed out, the water level in a portion of the river rapidly decreased, layer by layer.
Ye Lan's Chakra was also rapidly depleting.
But Ye Lan wasn't worried at all, because one of the talents the System had given him was infinite Chakra.
Ye Lan finally put all his strength into it, and the fire pillar swelled again!
This time, the river water under the fire pillar didn't just rise and evaporate; it was completely burned dry! The surface of the water under the fire pillar also presented a large area of vacuum!
After a few more minutes, Ye Lan was quite satisfied and stopped releasing the ninjutsu.
"Burp~"
A few small flames involuntarily spurted out of Ye Lan's mouth before he truly stopped the Fire Release.
The moment the fire pillar completely disappeared, Ye Lan was also surprised to find that the riverbed scorched by the fire pillar was also a large area of charred black.
Then, a large amount of river water gathered back to its original place.
Seeing this scene, Ye Lan couldn't help but exclaim, "It truly deserves to be an A-Rank Ninjutsu! This ability is really something."
At the same time, he felt that the System's previous task rewards weren't so bad after all; at least it was a high-level Ninjutsu.
"Grrr～!!"
A protesting sound came from Ye Lan's stomach again.
Ye Lan couldn't help but laugh, patting his belly and smiling, "What's the rush? I'll fill you up right away."
Ye Lan looked at the surface of the river, nodding with great satisfaction.
The river was now covered with white bellies, dozens of them big and small. These were naturally the fish that Ye Lan had rendered unconscious with his Fire Release...
