Naruto: Fire-Release system

Chapter 198: C-Class Extraordinary Being Zhou Yi

Before long, while chatting casually, the group arrived at the Zhongzhou Headquarters of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, as Zhou Wu had called it. This organization was said to handle all matters related to extraordinary events.

The building resembled a government service center, with a bustling lobby on the first floor where people came and went. Zhou Yi noticed that everyone seemed to exude an aura of power, hinting at their extraordinary nature.

The sheer presence of so many extraordinary beings following the rules hinted at the overwhelming authority of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. Anyone joining this organization was undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with.

Before long, Zhou Yi was escorted by Zhou Wu and his team to the registration office for extraordinary beings. After providing basic personal information, they moved to another room for testing to determine Zhou Yi's extraordinary classification.

The tests involved two parts: a strength assessment and a demonstration of one's extraordinary abilities.

"This is a power-testing machine. It will measure your strength," Zhou Wu explained. "An average person's punch measures between 80 to 100 kilograms. The highest recorded was 800 kilograms. For extraordinary beings, the thresholds are as follows:

Below 1 ton: Non-extraordinary.

1–10 tons: C-Class.

10–100 tons: B-Class.

100–1,000 tons: A-Class.

Over 1,000 tons: S-Class.

"For those beyond S-Class, their information is classified since they are national-level figures."

Zhou Wu detailed the classification system as Zhou Yi listened attentively.

Curious about the capabilities of his Wood Release clone, Zhou Yi stepped forward to test its strength. It would also serve as a benchmark for estimating the power of his original form in this world.

Standing before the machine, Zhou Yi steadied his breath and delivered a solid punch. The screen displayed: 3 tons.

This placed him at the lower end of the C-Class spectrum.

The result was unexpectedly average, given Zhou Yi's expectations. He chuckled wryly, feeling a bit like Saitama from One Punch Man, an underdog hiding immense strength.

"Three tons," Zhou Wu noted. "You're rated as a C-Class extraordinary being with lower-middle-tier strength."

"Next, we'll test your extraordinary abilities," Zhou Wu continued. "This includes martial arts-based powers, unique talents, or magical capabilities. Essentially, any supernatural skill beyond human limits qualifies.

"Don't worry about exposing your abilities during the test. Once you've used an ability in public, it's no longer a secret.

"Refusing to demonstrate your ability could raise concerns about your intentions and result in expulsion from the country. While Dragon Country is strict, it's also stable and secure."

Zhou Wu explained the rules in a matter-of-fact manner, noting Zhou Yi's cooperation and reasonable attitude throughout the process.

"No problem," Zhou Yi replied. He saw no need to hide anything about this clone.

"Great," Zhou Wu smiled. "Let's proceed."

They moved to a room equipped with an advanced system that measured extraordinary abilities. This system, reportedly sourced from the Infinite Tower, was capable of accurately detecting an individual's full potential, even if only a fraction of their power was displayed.

Zhou Yi raised a hand and performed a simple technique. "Wood Release: Spiked Root Technique."

A small wooden branch sprouted from his palm, showcasing the essence of his extraordinary power.

"That's sufficient," Zhou Wu said after just a few seconds. "Please wait in the lobby. Results will be out in about five minutes."

Zhou Yi left the room and took a seat in the lobby. Soon, Zhou Wu returned, holding a file and a small card.

"Zhou Yi, your information has been registered. This is your official extraordinary being ID, which also serves as proof of identity in Dragon Country.

"These documents outline the regulations you must follow. Review them carefully to avoid any violations. If you have questions, feel free to consult our staff."

Zhou Yi accepted the documents and expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, Brother Zhou. If you ever need help, let me know."

Zhou Wu chuckled. "Help? From a C-Class extraordinary being? Let's talk again once you reach A-Class."

Once Zhou Yi left, Zhou Wu's two subordinates approached him, puzzled.

"Boss, why were you so courteous to a mere C-Class extraordinary being? Are you a softie?"

Zhou Wu smirked. "Do you know why my former teammates died?"

"No."

"It was their arrogance and prejudice." Zhou Wu's expression grew stern. "The world of extraordinary beings is treacherous. A single misstep can be fatal. Many people are far more than they appear to be."

"Are you saying that Zhou Yi isn't as simple as he seems?" one subordinate asked.

"What do you think?" Zhou Wu responded cryptically.

The two subordinates exchanged uneasy glances, realizing they had much to learn.
