Upgrade

Satoru pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not sure. Each magnetic release ability seems to be different. Maybe my magnetic release is more sensitive to metallic objects like shuriken and kunai!"

"Is that so?" Rin furrowed her brows.

Having browsed through her clan's archives, she had some understanding of magnetic release. The most powerful user of magnetic release in the current world was the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure. His Iron Sand Secret Technique could even suppress a tailed beast, earning him the title of the strongest Kazekage in history.

However, this title was somewhat misleading because his magnetic release was mainly focused on controlling sand and iron, with only minor interference against metallic shinobi tools. He couldn't control them as effortlessly as Satoru did.

Controlling metallic shinobi tools with such proficiency, what a terrifying ability it would be if it developed further! Rin couldn't even imagine!

She wondered, which shinobi wouldn't carry metallic shuriken or kunai? If she hadn't replaced all her shinobi tools with wooden ones today, she might have lost them in the first encounter!

This was the true king of the battlefield, a killer!

Observing Rin's absent-minded expression, Satoru naturally guessed what she was thinking. But if she were to learn that the ability he displayed was just the tip of the iceberg, he wondered how shocked she would be.

Once he reaches level 2, he will gain new electromagnetic abilities within the electromagnetic system. He wondered what they would be.

Satoru's mind was filled with curiosity.

There happened to be a short holiday in the following days, and he didn't have to attend shinobi school. It was an excellent opportunity to level up.

...

Back in his home, Satoru stocked up on supplies and locked himself in his room, starting his arduous training to advance to level 2 of the electromagnetic force.

Almost simultaneously, an unprecedented event occurred within the Hyuga clan.

A clan member had awakened a second kekkei genkai, the magnet release!

This was the first time such a thing had happened in the ancient Hyuga clan. At first, not many believed the rumors. But as more and more people spread the news, the clan had to take it seriously.

"Hey, did you hear? A clan member awakened a second kekkei genkai and defeated the genius from the Uchiha clan."

"Only heard about it? Didn't they knock down the Uchiha with just one move?"

"Didn't the Uchiha hear about a second kekkei genkai and directly beg for mercy on their knees?"

Rumors spread like wildfire, and they eventually reached the attention of Iruha. No matter how they inquired, he remained silent. However, his behavior indicated that it was true.

From that moment on, the Hyuga clan was abuzz.

"Can we awaken a kekkei genkai too? Are there other kekkei genkai besides the Byakugan in the Hyuga clan? Such discussions began to emerge among the clan members.

In the end, the clan elders had to step forward to declare that Hyuga Satoru's situation was unique and not representative of the entire clan, which calmed the situation.

Many clan members were curious to learn about the individual who had awakened a second kekkei genkai, only to find out that the person seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. They had never heard of him before.

At the training ground or in the corners of houses, one could often see several branch members huddled together, whispering about the genius who awakened a second kekkei genkai they had never seen before.

The discussions would only stop when they noticed the annoyed cough of the main family members passing by.

However, these branch members could never have imagined that the person they were talking about was currently hiding in his room, undergoing extremely rigorous training.

...

In the cramped space, a fermented smell filled the air as various metallic props were scattered around. Covered in sweat, Satoru panted heavily, a look of joy in his eyes.

"I did it!"

Just now, he heard a faint cracking sound coming from within his body. He immediately focused his consciousness on his mind, and as he expected, a row of small characters appeared below the star pattern.

[Electromagnetic Force: Level 2] [Next upgrade: 0/6000 experience]

With the level up, Satoru was surprised to find that his body seemed to be transforming, much stronger than the one he experienced when he first awakened electromagnetic release.

However, this time, the change was much more intense.

Impurities within his body were continuously decomposed and converted into extremely pure energy, nourishing his physical body.

Though his body was filthy after days of hard training, Satoru felt rejuvenated, as if he were injected with chicken blood, full of vitality.

Closing his eyes, he carefully sensed the changes in his body. He quickly made a discovery.

"My biological magnetic field has become much stronger!"

Satoru's eyes widened in delight. This discovery was quite significant.

He had already noticed the importance of the biological magnetic field.

The complex life activities of the human body created its unique biological magnetic field. If the biological magnetic field was amplified, it would nourish the body's life activities.

Satoru had a hunch earlier. If his biological magnetic field became strong enough, it would promote the evolution of his body, leading to a higher level of life.

It seemed like he had taken a small step on that path.

"So, this is the direction in which electromagnetic release develops at the highest level? Advancing into a higher level of life..."

After some contemplation, Satoru took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in his heart. He began to carefully feel his biological magnetic field.

"Although I can control the magnetic field of metals freely, I can't budge the biological magnetic field of living organisms at all. This corresponds to a higher authority in electromagnetic release that I can't reach at the moment. However..."

Satoru furrowed his brows slightly.

The biological magnetic field within him was like a continuously burning small flame, nourishing his physical body. Moreover, this flame would adjust according to his condition, keeping his body in its best state, as if...

Satoru pondered for a moment and said to himself, "It's like being equipped with a permanent healing buff."

This could no longer be encompassed by the term "biological magnetic field."

"Well... let's call it 'Life Magnetic Field.'"

Satoru thought for a moment and gave this new ability a name.

The Life Magnetic Field was undoubtedly the new ability awakened from Electromagnetic Force Level 2. Besides this, he also experimented and found that the intensity and precision of his electromagnetic manipulation had improved significantly. The abilities he developed before would also receive considerable enhancement.

"Electromagnetic Force Level 1 should correspond to the basic control of electromagnetic fields. Electromagnetic Force Level 2 corresponds to the Life Magnetic Field. Then, what abilities do Electromagnetic Force Level 3, Level 4... and even higher correspond to?"

Satoruv couldn't help but be curious about the future, filled with anticipation.

The path of electromagnetic release was like a pyramid composed of one step after another, constantly tempting him to explore and reach the pinnacle.
