Chapter 153: The Long-Awaited Sharingan, Eternal Mangekyō, and Rinnegan

Su Ming had anticipated that Da Ming would ask this question. Even though he couldn't activate the Rinnegan yet, as long as he showed Da Ming his potential to awaken such a power, which could help revive Xiao Wu's mother, that would suffice.

Su Ming calmly said, "My method of resurrection is simple. All I need is Xiao Wu's mother's corpse and her soul. I don't need any additional herbs or inner cores for assistance."

"If we don't have Xiao Wu's mother's body, that's fine—just her bones will do. Preserve them for future use. As for her soul, we'll need to retrieve it from Bibi Dong, and I'll handle that."

Er Ming interjected, "Even if you have Xiao Wu's mother's bones and soul, you still haven't explained the actual method of resurrection!"

Su Ming shook his head. "This isn't something that can be rushed. I possess the ability to merge the soul and bones together to revive her, but at my current strength, I'm not capable of doing it."

Before Er Ming could respond, Da Ming said in a deep voice, "Your own ability? Are you saying your martial spirit has the power to merge them and bring her back to life? That doesn't seem right. A wood-element martial spirit doesn't have such capabilities!"

Su Ming smiled faintly. "You're half right, Da Ming. It's not my martial spirit that has the power to revive—it's my eyes."

With that, Su Ming closed his eyes briefly, and when he reopened them, his pupils were no longer the same black color; they had transformed into red eyes with three tomoe—Sharingan!

This sudden change shocked both Da Ming and Er Ming. They had never seen or heard of such a transformation before.

Xiao Wu, seeing Su Ming's eyes after so many years, was also surprised. The last time she saw them, there was only one tomoe, but now it had evolved into three tomoe!

Er Ming, puzzled, said, "Big brother, look! His eye pattern is changing!"

Da Ming: ... Su Ming: ... Xiao Wu: ...

The three of them were speechless. How could Er Ming not sense something more profound from those eyes?

Su Ming explained, "As you can see, this is a special ocular power. The first form you saw is called the Three Tomoe Sharingan. The form you see now is called the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, an evolution of the first form, with much greater power."

Thanks to the system's enhancements, Su Ming's Sharingan had directly evolved into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, bypassing the blindness side effect. However, to evolve to the Rinnegan, he still needed to accumulate experience starting from the normal Mangekyō.

"The method I mentioned to revive Xiao Wu's mother will require my eyes to evolve into their third form, known as the Rinnegan. As the name suggests, 'Rinne' refers to the cycle of life and death, granting the power to resurrect."

Da Ming and Er Ming were both stunned, while Xiao Wu remained calm—after all, she already knew. She was just playing along.

When Da Ming saw Su Ming's eyes, he hadn't thought much of them at first. However, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan gave off a strange allure, making him believe that this human might indeed be special. Now, hearing that the eyes could evolve into something capable of resurrection, he couldn't help but be curious about who Su Ming really was and why he possessed such eyes.

While Da Ming had begun to trust Su Ming, he still had reservations. After all, Su Ming hadn't yet awakened the Rinnegan, and the actual process of resurrection remained uncertain. However, it offered a glimmer of hope.

Curious, Da Ming asked, "If that's the case, we'll choose to believe you for now. But even if the Rinnegan can resurrect, there must be a heavy price to pay. Are you truly willing to use this power for Xiao Wu?"

Without hesitation, Su Ming replied, "Of course. Xiao Wu is someone I care deeply about, and I'm willing to bear the cost for her."

"While I don't know the exact side effects, I suspect it will consume some of my life force, or perhaps my eyes will temporarily lose their power or even go blind. But these are minor consequences. Life force can be replenished, and temporary blindness is nothing."

Hearing this, both Da Ming and Er Ming scrutinized Su Ming, trying to discern whether he was lying, but his sincerity was evident.

Xiao Wu felt deeply moved, knowing that Su Ming was willing to go to such lengths for her.

Su Ming, meanwhile, reflected that the side effects of the Rinnegan's resurrection ability were likely similar to those faced by Nagato in the Naruto world. Nagato died after using the ability because he revived too many people and his life force was already depleted. Su Ming believed that reviving just Xiao Wu's mother wouldn't pose such a threat, especially since he could replenish his life force using Ah Yin's Blue Silver Domain.

Plus, Su Ming's cultivation in the Wood Element allowed him to increase his life attribute with each level, further mitigating the impact. Once he ascended to godhood, these problems would become irrelevant.

Sensing that the moment was right, Su Ming suggested, "Da Ming, I understand that words alone aren't enough to convince you fully. How about this—let me spar with Er Ming. Once you see the power of my Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, you'll believe in the potential of the Rinnegan."

Da Ming pondered for a moment before nodding. "Alright. Er Ming, test Su Ming's strength. Be mindful of your power—let's see what his eyes can really do!"

Er Ming, feeling conflicted, muttered, "It's tough for me to hold back... I'm all about brute strength."
