That's right.
Laying a strong foundation for the fusion of the seven chakra attributes.
The template of Eternal Madara, obtained through the system's auto-connection, is merely the beginning with a relatively high starting position.
From the very start, Tengen's true goal was to evolve the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan into the Rinnegan while simultaneously attempting to reach the level of the Six Paths.
As for the 4% integration rate at the moment,
what's even more remarkable is that he immediately unlocked and integrated 90% of the Eternal Madara template, making him significantly stronger.
"There's no rush!"
"Now that I have the Eternal Madara template, I don't need to overthink."
"It's enough to simply train and complete the system's tasks step by step, and my strength will continue to grow, making me even more extraordinary."
...
Soon, Tengen calmed his thoughts and mentally commanded,
"System, activate the training pack for perfect mastery of the Lightning Style techniques!"
[Buzzing!]
As soon as he uttered these words, a blue light visible only to him surged into his body.
Immediately after, the experience of training countless Lightning Style techniques appeared in his consciousness.
In an instant, Tengen felt as though he had spent years honing techniques like Chidori, Raikiri, Shadow Clone, Lightning Chakra Mode, Snake Lightning, and many others. Now he mastered them all perfectly.
"Most of the Lightning Style techniques have been mastered ideally, and my understanding of lightning chakra has reached its peak."
"System, show me my status"
Completely ignoring Byrndi World standing before him, Tengen focused on the translucent panel that only he could see.
[Ding... Generating the Host's attribute panel!]
[Ding... Attribute panel created!]

"As expected, after successful auto-connections, the special zones continue to update."
Tengen glanced around briefly, then closed the attribute panel.
"Now it's time to get down to business."
On the other side:
– It can't be!
– You awakened Conqueror's Haki?!
– Why do I feel like you've become even stronger?
– No... This is a lie. None of this can be true. I must be mistaken.
Sensing the fluctuations in Tengen's aura, Byrndi World, already in a state of terror, looked as if he had seen a ghost once again.
What is happening?
The battle hasn't even started yet, and his opponent has already become stronger?
Incredible.
Byrndi World truly doubts his own existence.
He still can't believe what he is seeing and feeling.
A bounty hunter, known only in the West Blue, can be so powerful and possess Conqueror's Haki? What the hell... Was he pretending to be weak just to destroy everyone afterward?
Being repeatedly slapped in the face with this reality, Byrndi World feels he's about to cry.
He came to the West Blue to take revenge on the Marine Headquarters and collect some gold and jewels for a comfortable life.
How could he have imagined a bounty hunter would appear and ruin all his plans?
If he had known such a monster was hiding in the West Blue, he would never have come here, even if it meant heading to the North or South Blue.
Thinking about this, Byrndi World feels his life turning into a nightmare.
Byrndi Wald was filled with malice and anger towards the five major mafia families of the Western Blue Sea.
The intelligence from the local gangs turned out to be simply atrocious.
As a result, he was misled.
Fine!
Even at this moment, Byrndi World didn't reflect on his mistakes.
After arriving in the West Blue Sea, he behaved extremely arrogantly and brazenly, respecting no one.
Now, getting slapped in the face is quite fitting.
Meanwhile, on a merchant ship at the Herd Island dock stood Morgans with a telescope and a camera. He gazed into the distance, towards the central part of the island, his face showing unparalleled excitement.
"Big news! I didn't expect the West Blue Sea to treat us to such a surprise. This is a true sensation!" he exclaimed.
"The 'World Breaker' Byrndi Wald got into trouble in the West Blue Sea."
"Marine Headquarters didn't respond. A monster among the bounty hunters, hiding here, took matters into his own hands and, with the power of his allies, destroyed more than a dozen pirates with bounties over 100 million."
"Since when have bounty hunters become so strong?"
"This man named Tengen is a true ninja, and he has awakened Conqueror's Haki."
Even though there was still some distance to the island, Morgans felt the Conqueror's Haki of Tengen break out. His eyes lit up with anticipation.
After the Paramount War, there hadn't been any big news at sea. So, upon learning that Byrndi World, the 'World Breaker' from the past, was openly planning to cause chaos in the West Blue Sea to take revenge on the Marine Corps, but Headquarters didn't react, Morgans went there out of curiosity.
He wanted to document Wald's actions and find out why the Marines remained silent.
And what happened?
As soon as he arrived at the Herd Island dock, he witnessed a bounty hunter from the Western Blue Sea single-handedly attacking Byrndi World.
"Could it be that a new king with the power of a monster is emerging?" Morgans muttered.
"If the 'World Breaker' Byrndi Wald falls here, the hunter Tengen will undoubtedly become famous worldwide."
"I didn't expect that besides the eleven super rookies and the new 'Emperor' Blackbeard, another king of bounty hunters would emerge in the West Blue Sea. I'm curious who will be the victor?"
Although the battle hadn't started yet, Morgans already understood that Tengen had a clear advantage. Especially after he instantly killed three of Wald's pirate leaders with clones and unleashed his Conqueror's Haki. Byrndi World was doomed.
"I wonder when Tengen will venture into the Grand Line?" Morgans pondered aloud.
His eyes sparkled. After the Paramount War, the situation at sea began to change. If Tengen ventures into the Grand Line, it will inevitably bring new changes, making it even more tumultuous and lively.
