Chapter 6: New Function Unlocked, Perfect Sage Body
Over the next week, Ziyun did not show his face in front of A at all. He stayed in the laboratory, focusing on training Observation Haki.
According to the system's classification, Observation Haki had three levels: Beginner, Advanced, and Supreme.
Beginner was the most basic level, used to predict movements and detect living beings nearby. It was similar to sensory techniques, with the only advantage being that it barely required chakra and was not easily counter-detected by enemy sensory shinobi.
Advanced Observation was like the kind used by Big Mom's top fighter, Charlotte Katakuri, allowing short-term glimpses of the future.
As for Supreme Observation, that was the Observation Haki only Gol D. Roger possessed in the original story, the only Supreme Observation Haki shown there: the Voice of All Things.
Of course, Ziyun believed Monkey D. Luffy definitely had it too, he just hadn't shown it yet.
What Ziyun obtained this time was Beginner Observation Haki. Right now, his Observation could cover a range of several dozen meters.
Of course, it still hadn't fused with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability. Once fused properly, Ziyun believed his sight would reach far beyond the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.
When he opened Observation Haki, he could clearly sense every movement, change, aura, and living presence around him.
He could even sense that beneath the wall in the northwest corner of the laboratory, a dung beetle was pushing a ball of dung, only to be swallowed whole together with the dung ball by a gecko.
In the southeast corner, beneath the ground, eight mice were building a nest, while a small white-scaled snake was preparing to invade their nest for a full meal.
"How cruel..." Feeling a trace of discomfort, Ziyun withdrew his Observation Haki and opened his system panel.

"Hm? What are these points used for?"
Seeing the final line, Ziyun froze and asked.
After defeating Big Brother A last time, he was so busy running away that he didn't have time to think about the points. Now that he saw them, he asked the system.
"Answering the host: the uses of points are very complex. I can't explain everything right away. The specific functions can only be explored by the host gradually," the system said, sounding helpless.
"So complicated? Then I'll study it myself."
Ziyun opened the system interface and discovered a new search button in the top right corner.
He clicked it. A window popped up, looking like a Baidu search bar.
"The host can try searching for anything you want here. If it appears in the results, you can buy it with points," the system explained.
"Really? Then I do have something I want."
"How to improve the Navy Six Powers into techniques suitable for shinobi to learn."
After he clicked search, results actually appeared.
But just as Ziyun was about to click in and study, a huge dialog box popped up.
Please pay 30000 points to exchange.
"So that's what points are for." Ziyun finally understood.
The function was great. With his current ability, Ziyun couldn't improve the Navy Six Powers into something truly suitable for shinobi.
Because the physical gap between people in the One Piece world and shinobi in this world was simply too large.
Even if you explained the principles to shinobi and forced them to learn, the results would be extremely poor.
That was why, up to this point in the Hidden Cloud Village, aside from Ziyun, there was no second person who had truly mastered the Navy Six Powers.
And that was also why Ziyun had concluded earlier that even if other villages stole the principles, they still wouldn't be able to learn them.
Next, Ziyun searched for something he needed most right now: Perfect Sage Body.
Although Ziyun's main path wasn't ninjutsu, using his fruit ability still consumed tremendous stamina. He was still too young, and his stamina and constitution weren't really enough yet, so what helped him most was Perfect Sage Body.
Once he had a Perfect Sage Body, Ziyun could unleash his fruit ability freely without worrying about running out of stamina.
But Perfect Sage Body required 300000 points.
"Damn it, that's so much." Ziyun looked at his pitiful 1000 points and sighed.
"Right, besides Perfect Sage Body, there are other ways to boost constitution."
His eyes lit up. Ziyun searched for Uzumaki clan constitution and found it only cost 30000 points.
"That's not bad. If I work hard, I can reach it." Ziyun smiled.
The Uzumaki clan naturally possessed powerful constitution and vigorous life force. It wasn't as absurd as Senju Hashirama's Perfect Sage Body, but for an ordinary person, it was more than enough.
Of course, Ziyun's ultimate goal was definitely Perfect Sage Body, but since he didn't have enough points yet, Uzumaki constitution was a good transitional option.
"Alright, my goal is set. 30000 points. I only have 1000 right now. That's still far. How do I get points?" Ziyun asked.
"Points can only be obtained by completing tasks. Tasks can be refreshed using points."
"Wow. Just wow. No nesting dolls allowed."
Ziyun was speechless. Then he saw that refreshing tasks actually cost 1000 points.
"Such a rip-off..." Ziyun sighed and decided to spend 1000 points to refresh tasks.
After all, in ten years, the system had only issued five tasks on its own. If he waited blindly like before, he had no idea how long it would take to get the next one.
Besides, Ziyun was confident in his luck. Anyone who transmigrated with a golden cheat was bound to have insane luck.
"Refresh tasks."
The moment he clicked refresh, a task appeared in front of him.
A-rank Task: Defeat an elite jōnin
Objective: Defeat an elite jōnin
Time Limit: None
Rewards: 30000 points, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique, Constitution +10
Failure: No penalty
"Defeat an elite jōnin? Then I'll go see Teacher Dodai." Ziyun couldn't help but grin.
He would ask Teacher Dodai to go easy and deliberately concede. He wasn't sure whether that would count as completing the task, but he could try first.
It was also time to go out for a bit. He didn't know whether Yotsuki A's backside had recovered or not, but who cared. A still couldn't beat him anyway.
While Ziyun was thinking, suddenly, in front of him, a small white-scaled snake appeared, then transformed into a human silhouette.
In the next instant, that figure moved behind Ziyun at lightning speed, pressing a cold kunai against Ziyun's neck.
