Chương 102: Is Yang Cheng a hard-working genius?

"Honkai Impact 1?"

First, it was violently thrown out, and then, while flying backward, it was slammed directly onto the ground.

As Xiao Li was struck, he created a deep crater in the ground, and a large amount of sand and dust instantly rose up.

Earlier, when Xiao Li removed the lead weights from his legs, most people present thought that the outcome of the competition was already decided.

But no one expected that the so-called ever-changing situation had just been demonstrated to the fullest extent.

Xiao Li had just unleashed his full power, and before he could even start showing off, he was taken down in the next second—

"Red Bean, as far as I know, your physical skills are probably just average, right?"

"How exactly did you teach that child? The physical techniques he just used couldn't be ordinary!"

Looking at the smug look on Anko's face, Asuma was filled with sorrow. Especially when he glanced at Kurenai beside him, he felt that the goddess was gradually drifting away from him.

Compared to ninjutsu and genjutsu, taijutsu is not something that relies solely on talent.

Without hard work and perseverance, one cannot become a powerful taijutsu ninja.

After all, chakra talent may be innate, but strong physical qualities must be developed through training.

"Huh? Who said that just because my physical skills are bad, my students have to be terrible at physical skills too?"

"My student is exceptionally talented. His physical skills are so strong with just a little training, isn't that enough?"

Seeing the smug look on Red Bean's face, Asuma felt wronged and wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason.

The goddess, however, still regarded Hongdou as her own sister and was happy that Hongdou had taught such an outstanding disciple.

"That boy named Yang Cheng's physical skills are definitely not something that has only been practiced lightly."

Whether it's physical fitness, skills, or experience, the level he just demonstrated was already quite astonishing.

Physical skills don't lie. You may not have seen it, but I can say with certainty that he has put in a lot of hard work on his physical skills behind the scenes, otherwise he wouldn't have reached this level.

In the realm of physical martial arts, there is no such thing as a genius; it's just that you didn't see their hard work.

Outsiders watch the spectacle, insiders see the details, but when it comes to taijutsu, who in the entire Hidden Leaf Village knows more than Might Guy?

Although Yang Cheng and Xiao Li only exchanged a few blows, Kai, as a martial arts expert, saw more than the others.

Whether it's combat skills, combat experience, or physical attributes, Yang Cheng is almost completely superior to Lee's current level.

There are geniuses in physical skills, but they also need to work hard after birth.

At this moment, Might Guy had even imagined Yang Cheng silently sweating and working hard under the moonlight.

Lee's ninja way is based on the belief that even without talent, one can surpass so-called geniuses through perseverance and hard work.

At this moment, under Kai's influence, Kakashi and the others looked at Yang Cheng, who was full of vigor on the field, and felt that the reason why this boy was called a "genius" was not because of his talent, but because he silently shed sweat in places that others could not see.

In physical training, perseverance is of utmost importance, and Might Guy currently admires Yang Cheng's quiet dedication to becoming stronger.

Asuma, who had even heard about Yang Cheng's affairs from his own students, sighed silently at this moment.

Ino and the others have said that Yosei was an orphan since childhood. Perhaps, as a commoner ninja, this is the only way for him to change his fate.

Talented, determined, and mature, Asuma would accept losing the bet to Anko this time!

Kakashi and the others praised their prized student highly, which naturally pleased Anko.

But she couldn't help but think that Yang Cheng's account was completely different from what they were telling her— Yang Cheng is exceptionally gifted and mature in mind, a fact that Hongdou acknowledges. But what's with him silently sweating under the moonlight?

Could Yang Cheng from her family really be that hardworking? How come Hongdou didn't know!

Compared to cultivation or anything like that, her student is clearly more interested in various secret techniques, forbidden arts, and research.

Because she was once Orochimaru's student, her family inherited a lot of the property Orochimaru left behind when he defected from the village.

Every night, Yang Cheng would find various excuses to come to my house to look through those scrolls, and before leaving, he would even ask me for a late-night snack.

With Yang Cheng like this, he's secretly working hard at night? Is this some kind of joke?

Of course, given how highly Kakashi and the others regard their disciple, Anko would never do anything like sabotage him.

Furthermore, she felt proud of her student's excellence, so Hongdou stood with her hands on her hips, looking extremely smug.

Unfortunately, Yang Cheng was unaware of the conversation between Anko and the other Jonin who were instructing them. Otherwise, he would definitely have stood up and said that while Might Guy's interpretation was somewhat flawed, he wasn't entirely wrong, to be honest.

Although Hokage Yoji didn't train his taijutsu, Yoji from other worlds, such as One Piece, did.

His ability to become stronger was entirely due to his own efforts, and because he trained in another world, others couldn't see his hard work.

That's absolutely right.

"Li, your opponent is a worthy rival. Let him witness your burning youth!"

Hearing Kai's shout, Xiao Li, who was in the deep pit, slowly climbed up again, and a determined look appeared on his face.

"Teacher Kai, I understand. I will definitely not let you down."

Yang Cheng, now I'll show you the secrets of youth that I inherited from Teacher Kai!

Seeing Xiao Li clench his fists, Yang Cheng's face also revealed a hint of fighting spirit:

"Is it finally coming? I've been waiting for so long."

In fact, Yang Cheng was confident that his previous attack would knock Xiao Li unconscious with a single blow.

But if he did that, he would miss the chance to witness the most powerful taijutsu, the Eight Gates Formation.

At the same time, upon hearing Guy's shout and seeing Lee's chakra about to explode, Kakashi looked at Guy beside him in surprise and said, "You even taught your student such a dangerous technique!"

"Kakashi, didn't I tell you before? Rock Lee doesn't have any talent in ninjutsu or genjutsu."

However, his talent in physical combat is even greater than mine. No one is more suited to that technique than him, and it was also Lee's own choice.

As Kai finished speaking, Lee on the field also channeled his chakra into his meridian system, and visible chakra erupted from Lee's body.

"Eight Gates Formation - First Gate - Open!"

"Lotus Flower" ———!'

When Lee opened the first gate of the Eight Gates Formation, his speed was noticeably faster, and he appeared in front of Yang Cheng in a flash, kicking Yang Cheng's chin.
