At this point, just as Ning Feng was unsure how to proceed, Professor Li hurriedly spoke up:
"These two nature transformations in the Five Elements system are mutually restraining yet mutually generating."
"Try injecting your Water-attribute nature transformation into your Earth-attribute nature transformation!"
The moment Professor Li said this, Ning Feng immediately understood. He promptly attempted to inject the Water-attribute nature transformation from his right palm into the Earth-attribute nature transformation in his left palm.
In other words, the palm that had already turned fluid like water was placed directly onto the palm that had become rock-like.
At that instant, a mysterious and profound force surged up within Ning Feng's palm and spilled outward.
In that brief moment, Ning Feng felt a surge of vitality, as if he had stepped into a lush, boundless forest…
"Look!"
Professor Li suddenly cried out in surprise.
On Ning Feng's left palm—already hardened like stone—a small sapling suddenly sprouted from its center.
The sapling grew at an astonishing rate. In just a few breaths, it rapidly turned into a flourishing young tree.
Then, when it reached roughly the height of a person, it abruptly stopped growing.
"So this is the power of Wood Release!?" Professor Liu said in amazement.
He had heard Orochimaru mention in the Naruto online world that ninja with the Wood Release kekkei genkai could, like the God of Shinobi—First Hokage Senju Hashirama—freely use Wood Release techniques.
What he hadn't expected was that Ning Feng, without possessing the Wood Release kekkei genkai, could still manifest the power of Wood Release.
"To be precise, this is merely a wood-attribute nature transformation formed by combining water and earth attributes."
"It seems that wood-attribute chakra nature transformation represents vitality and control."
"Ning Feng, just like before, try injecting this wood-attribute nature transformation into your Rasengan."
Professor Li urged excitedly, his black-rimmed glasses filled with intense anticipation.
"Mm!"
Ning Feng nodded, his own curiosity burning brightly.
In the original story, Naruto had used terrifying techniques such as Scorch Release: Rasengan Shuriken and Lava Release: Rasengan Shuriken, yet he had never used anything like a Wood Release: Rasengan Shuriken.
With that in mind, Ning Feng followed Professor Li's instructions and injected the wood-attribute nature transformation directly into the Rasengan.
At first, when the wood attribute entered, it didn't cause the violent reaction that Lightning Release had earlier.
It was as if the two had no connection at all.
However, as Ning Feng continued to deepen the infusion, the Rasengan—after receiving the wood attribute's abundant vitality—suddenly transformed into a green, spinning sphere.
At first glance, this green Rasengan looked no different from an ordinary Rasengan except for its color.
But only someone who came into contact with it could clearly feel—
The vitality emanating from this green Rasengan was unimaginably dense, to an almost terrifying degree.
"This Rasengan doesn't look very powerful?"
Professor Liu frowned slightly.
"Could it be that the theory is wrong?"
Professor Li also raised an eyebrow.
"Wood Release chakra nature is based on vitality. In theory, it should still enhance the Rasengan's power. Ning Feng, try firing it!"
"Alright."
Ning Feng nodded.
After the driver stopped the car, Ning Feng casually picked a tree and launched the green Rasengan toward it.
Boom!
At first glance, the green Rasengan seemed no different from a normal Rasengan. The immediate damage it caused also appeared no greater than a standard Rasengan.
But then—
Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, the ground suddenly began to quake violently.
Within the area enveloped by the green Rasengan's chakra, many trees burst forth from the earth, rapidly growing and stretching skyward.
The spot struck by the green Rasengan was instantly wrapped in vicious, entangling vines.
Seeing this, Professor Li and Professor Liu exchanged horrified looks, both clearly seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
How could they not be astonished?
On the surface, this seemed like a Rasengan with relatively modest destructive power.
But once struck, the true terror followed—overwhelming tree growth and binding.
Any ninja without preparation, upon taking this Rasengan head-on, would never expect to be instantly ensnared by terrifying, fast-growing vegetation.
And that wasn't the key point.
The key point was this—
If wood-attribute chakra nature transformation could be successfully achieved, then other compound nature transformations were only a matter of time!
Ning Feng's combat power had once again risen invisibly.
"So this is the power of Wood Release: Rasengan Shuriken?"
Ning Feng's eyes flickered slightly.
Most of his current techniques focused on instant kills and explosive bursts.
This kind of sudden, powerful control-based technique was something he had been lacking.
Its addition would greatly enhance his overall combat versatility.
But more than that, what truly delighted Ning Feng was the capability of these scientists and professors.
Under their guidance, he could drastically shorten the time needed to research and develop new techniques.
This, perhaps, was the true power of knowledge.
"Alright, since wood attribute works, next is ice attribute!"
Professor Li was already eager to pull Ning Feng along to continue testing his theories.
Professor Liu, however, quickly interrupted:
"Hey, hey, hey, Professor Li!"
"That's enough already! I applied to the organization for Student Ning Feng to cooperate with my experiments."
"Letting you test your theory just now was already generous. Don't push your luck!"
As he spoke, Professor Liu, acting like a jealous newlywed, pulled Ning Feng over and patted his chest.
"Ning Feng, what's so fun about developing ninjutsu anyway?"
"That only increases your combat power—your physical capabilities don't really improve."
"But my Hashirama cell project—that's designed to solve exactly that problem…"
"Heh heh."
As he spoke, Professor Liu gestured for the driver to speed up, clearly worried that Professor Li might steal away his prized "research subject."
"Tch, stingy."
Professor Li snorted.
While Professor Liu wasn't paying attention, Professor Li leaned close and whispered in a low voice near Ning Feng's ear:
"Student Ning Feng, it's fine. Late at night… I'll be waiting for you."
If not for Professor Li's upright appearance and scholarly demeanor, along with his black-rimmed glasses making him look every bit the researcher—
Ning Feng would have seriously suspected that this guy was a pervert.
After all, not many people could say something so suggestive with a straight face.
