Chapter 69:

"Might Gai, you can only stop here this time," Hyga Kento said with a stoic look.

Although he, Might Gai, is the second strongest Taijutsu master in his grade that he acknowledges, it is his destiny to lose here,

"Um, who are you?" Might Gai scratched his head and tried to remember the opponent in front of him but found that he couldn't remember it.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"Are you the Hyga Kin?" Finally, Might Gai vaguely remembered what the invigilator had just said.

Hyga Kento felt that Might Gai was humiliating himself. His fists clinched hard.

"I am Hyga Kento, who defeated you in the last exam," Kento stated coldly. "Prepare yourself."

"I understand," Might Gai formed the Seal of Opposition and nodded.

"The exam begins!"

As soon as the invigilator finished speaking, Hyga Kento opened his eyes, and the veins around his eyes burst out, making Hyga Kento's face look a little ferocious.

With the blessing of Byakugan, everything about Might Gai was seen through by Hyga Kento. He could easily see Might Gai's Chakra points and his flowing chakra.

But wait. There is more! He can also see an Aco-

Without hesitation, Hyga Kento stopped his lips from twitching and chose to concentrate chakra in his palm and took the initiative.

With two powerful melee weapons, the gentle fist and the Byakugan, Hyga Kento didn't think anyone in the ninja school could be stronger than him in close combat.

The Byakugan allows him to see through the enemy's movements, and the very Gentle Fist combined with the Byakugan can directly drive chakra into the Chakra points of the enemy's body to block the flow of chakra.

But to his surprise, something unexpected happened. The punch he aimed at Might Gai was quickly intercepted by Gai's swift counter.

Hyga Kento's other hand continued to attack Might Gai's chakra points but was also caught.

Hyga Kento swiftly transitioned to using his legs for offense, but the kicking skills were Gai's specialty. Gai swiftly released a powerful tornado kick, sending Hyuga Kento reeling back by three feet.

"How is it possible? I had seen through his movements, but my body..." Hyga Kento's hands trembled as he looked at Might Gai in disbelief.

This marked the first instance where he had encountered such a situation.

It's through this kind of terrifying training that Mighty Gai honed his body and skills to their current form.

"Darn it, what's going on?" Hyga Kento, who had always been on the back foot, started to get a little jittery.

He couldn't fathom why things had taken such a turn. Mighty Gai wasn't this formidable the last time they sparred, so what could explain his extraordinary progress in just two months?

With his anxiety showing, Hyga Kento's weaknesses became more apparent.

Might Gai channeled chakra into his legs and rocketed forward, seizing an opening to launch his signature, lightning-fast kick.

"Leaf Hurricane!"

Boom!

Might Gai's chakra-enhanced spinning kick hit Hyga Kento hard, sending him crashing to the ground and effectively defeating him.

"Candidate No. 4, Mighty Gai, is the victor!" the invigilator declared, awarding Mighty Gai a perfect ten for his physical prowess.

Hyga Kento's taijutsu score landed at 9.9, but most of the instructors knew that the actual gap between the two contenders was more than just 0.1 points.

"It was a close call for Mighty Gai. Thankfully, he managed to avoid the gentle fist's touch; otherwise, it would have been a real doozy," Ikeya Isamu said with a grin, sensing the bonus coming closer.

Hyga Kento's homeroom teacher wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent.

"It looks like the number one spot this time belongs to Mighty Gai. He even took down Hyga Kento," onlookers speculated that the top spot in the grade exams had been claimed ahead of schedule.

"Not so fast. Uchiha Obito's fire-release ninjutsu is top-notch. No matter how powerful Mighty Gai's physical skills are, can he withstand the fire-release ninjutsu at this stage?" Uchiha Ikunori couldn't help but counter.

Given his earlier loss to Obito in their class skirmish, he was hopeful for Obito to take the lead.

Soon enough, Obito proved with his skills that Uchiha Ikunori's words weren't mere boasts.

Obito effortlessly defeated the number one contender, Shiranui Genma, in Class 6.

If it weren't for the invigilation and grading, Ikari Isamu would already be planning a celebratory visit to an izakaya with Makoto.

With these two exceptional students in tow, who cared about bonuses? He were more worried about how to handle the overflowing bonuses!
