Chapter 11: The False Protagonist and the Angel Investor
Chapter 11: The False Protagonist and the Angel Investor
In the world of Naruto, chakra is the accumulated energy within the body, while in the Soul Reaper world, it is known as reiatsu. Both forms of energy are stored internally but differ in manifestation and properties.
After Naruto Luk and Soul Reaper Luk's experiments, the two energies naturally merged into a new form, capable of both ninja techniques and kido spells. This new energy retains the properties of both reiatsu and chakra.
Soul Reaper Luk habitually refers to this new energy as reiatsu, while Naruto Luk prefers the term chakra. Future Luks with different energies will likely follow the previous naming conventions.
As Luk chanted, a powerful bolt of lightning erupted from his fingertips, illuminating the entire mystical space. A few seconds later, the light dissipated into the air under his control.
He rubbed his chin, noting that it was inconvenient to practice outside and there were no targets here. It was difficult to gauge the power of kido spells, but the visual effects were impressive, and kido spells don't require hand seals, making them perfect for practicing seal-less ninja techniques.
Luk performed the first thirty kido spells effortlessly, the result of three months of hard work with Soul Reaper Luk.
After completing the first thirty kido spells, Luk felt refreshed and attempted to break through the next sequence of kido spells.
The chakra within him flowed along the familiar path, the air grew hot, and flames rose. A deep red fireball smashed into the designated spot.
"Kido 31: Red Fireball!"
The first use of Kido 31 wasn't very powerful, even less effective than Kido 20. This required repeated practice to find the optimal point of power and technique.
Luk closed his eyes, his expression solemn, wanting to test the performance after a complete chant.
"Ruler, the mask of flesh and blood, myriad forms, soaring wings, the crown of human name! A scorching struggle, a sea-defying surge to the south, stepping forward! Kido 31: Red Fireball!!"
The red fireball, thrice as powerful as the non-chanted version, smashed into the ground, the thin air shattered by the intense momentum. The fireball hit the ground with a thunderous boom.
The difficulty of kido spells after chanting significantly decreased, making their use much more fluid.
This power is satisfactory.
Luk nodded, somewhat satisfied, and decided to continue. Suddenly, he noticed ripples in the outer space, and two figures slowly emerged.
Both newcomers were dressed like students. The one on the left was around twenty years old, handsome, and alert, with a sharp and wary gaze, not at all like the stereotypical college student.
The male on the right looked more ordinary, appearing to be around sixteen or seventeen, but wearing clothes that seemed both expensive and overly formal, his face filled with "I am the best in the world" bravado.
Naruto Luk raised an eyebrow, "Good guys, you've met two golden eggs."
He smiled and extended his hand to the two newcomers.
"Welcome to join, Luk."
"Now, we are comrades!"
...
After the formalities, the two newcomers relaxed.
They were from "One Below" and "Dragon blood" respectively.
Young Luk's early experiences had a bit of a protagonist flair. His parents were killed in a battle between different races when he was young. When they prepared to give him a compensation, he refused, proposing to learn the arts on Dragon Tiger Mountain to avenge his parents.
The elders of Dragon Tiger Mountain discussed and found that Luk had the potential to become an arhat and a strong will for the path of the Way. After a few tests, they accepted him as a lay disciple.
This maintained a protagonist-like style, but the direction changed later.
Luk dedicated himself to ten years of hard training, feeling that he had achieved something when he sparred with Zhang Lingyu. The other party was very diligent, and he successfully mastered three techniques.
Can this Earth_ol play?
Lu Ke's Daoist heart was shattered by the hammer blow. After the incident, he had a sudden epiphany and realized the harsh truth about his inadequacy. Disheartened, he bid farewell to the old Grandmaster and returned to the secular world to continue his education.
Revenge? How could he possibly take revenge with a Golden Light Spell that crumbled at the slightest touch from Zhang Lingyu?
He decided to live a simple life as an ordinary person.
Lu Ke and the protagonist, Zhang Chulan, were classmates and even lived in nearby dorms. However, Lu Ke always kept his distance to avoid getting entangled in Zhang Chulan's affairs. Their relationship never progressed beyond knowing each other's names.
When he heard that Zhang Chulan had taken leave to return home, he realized that the plot was about to unfold. That night, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and eventually found himself transported to another world.
In the world of The Dragon Blood, Lu Ke's background was much simpler. He became the person all the previous versions of Lu Ke had dreamed of being—rich, with no parents around, and only cold, crisp bills for company. He was a second-generation rich kid who lamented his emptiness and loneliness online.
His family was only moderately wealthy at first, but Lu Ke's parents noticed that their child was unusually precocious. Even before he could walk steadily, he was babbling about the future, trends, and becoming a billionaire.
At first, his parents didn't take him seriously and thought he might be a bit odd. However, when he started crying and begging them to invest in young entrepreneurs, even threatening to go on a hunger strike, they finally took him seriously.
After thoroughly investigating the people Lu Ke wanted to invest in, his parents found that they were indeed promising projects and decided to follow his advice.
As the investments started to pay off, the family's wealth grew exponentially. They realized their son's extraordinary talent.
Lu Ke openly declared that he was the reincarnation of Warren Buffett.
His parents responded, "Even though Buffett is still alive, if you can make this much money, we'll believe you're the reincarnation of our great-grandfather."
Together, the family expanded their investments into real estate, consumer goods, and online shopping, influencing various industries and even having connections with the government. They were living a real-life version of Rebirth: I Was an Angel Investor in the 1990s.
While they were still a bit short of becoming billionaires, they were getting there.
As for the plot of The Dragon Blood, who cared about the trivial matters of unrequited love? Lu Ke, now wealthy and spoiled, boasted that he had thirty girlfriends, each with a slim waist, long legs, fair skin, and a beautiful face. They were as gentle as water and never caused any trouble, as long as he gave them spending money.
School was no longer a priority, but Lu Ke still chose to attend classes occasionally to reminisce about his lost youth. He enjoyed watching the fresh, youthful faces around him.
As for Shilan High School, he couldn't be bothered to even glance at it.
...
"Amazing, so amazing!"
Naruto Lu Ke clapped as if he were watching a TV show starring himself. "I never thought I'd have a day when I could be rich."
Dragon Blood Lu Ke waved his hand nonchalantly. "What's the big deal about being rich? I miss the days when I first learned to walk, and my dad would buy me toy cars. Now, he buys me real ones."
The paranormal Lu Ke, who was particularly envious of Dragon Blood Lu Ke's experiences, sighed regretfully. "Why can't we share our golden fingers and transmit items?"
If he could, he would ask Dragon Blood Lu Ke for some gold and live a life of leisure.
To become a paranormal being, he had refused the government's compensation and was now living in poverty.
Naruto Lu Ke continued clapping, his hammer-hand making a loud slapping sound, and he smiled brightly. "Well said, well said. I never thought I could be so infuriating."
Considering that this guy had a harem of girlfriends, founded the Lu Ke VR Experience Hall, and contributed a series of movies, he would forgive him this time.
But if he ever tried to show off again, he would hang him up and beat him.
