Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1004 Improvement and Expectations

Collecting his thoughts, Qingming shifted his gaze from the bloodline section to the skill section.

His 'Chakra Refining Technique' remained as stable as ever, operating 24 hours a day and increasing his proficiency by 24 points.

In two months, his proficiency level increased from lv7 (2004/20000) to lv7 (3444/20000). It will take another 690 days, or nearly two years, to advance to lv8.

Therefore, Qingming merely glanced at it.

There's also 'Chakra Control'.
After advancing to level 8, the skill level required for the next advancement reaches 50000 points.

Although he continued to develop various bloodline limits and research the fusion of various chakra nature transformations, which increased his control over chakra, he also gained some proficiency as a result.

However, advancing to level 9 is still quite difficult.

Currently, its proficiency level is only lv8 (8100/50000), and it seems a long way from lv9.

Therefore, Qingming also swept over it in a single glance.

Next, let's look at the 'Wood Clone Technique'.
Just as calculated earlier, it will take another thirty days to advance to level 9, which is also a considerable amount of time.

It is indeed the 'ultimate state of being'.
The skill points they gain each day should exceed the original 1,000 points.

The reason is actually quite simple: after this transformation, his physical strength has increased significantly, and he can now withstand more intense chakra stimulation.

In this way, the speed of cultivating the 'Ultimate Body' can naturally be faster.

Consequently, the rate at which proficiency is accumulated will also accelerate.

However, he will need to test it to find out exactly how much it can increase.

Of course, this was just a side effect. What he really wanted to test was how much his speed of strengthening his body and the evolution speed of his Byakugan had improved after this transformation.

Then, based on this, we can estimate the time required for the next physical transformation.

Upon realizing this, Qingming immediately wanted to take action, but he ultimately held back because he still had one test to complete.

Qingming closed his eyes slightly, allowing himself to calm down again.

A moment later, he focused his mind and began to fully utilize the 'Chakra Refining Technique' to tap into his own potential.

That's right, what he wanted to test was his theoretical chakra limit and chakra recovery speed after this 'physique' attribute improvement.

And now, we are testing the former.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Qingming stopped the 'Chakra Refining Technique' and carefully sensed the changes in his state over the past half hour to deduce the improvement in his potential.

After a long while, he concluded that this improvement in his 'physique' attribute had increased his theoretical chakra limit by approximately 1.3 million points.

This increase is not as significant as the 1.6 million points gained when his 'Spirit' attribute increased from 28 to 29.

However, compared to the 900,000 points of theoretical chakra that his 'Constitution' attribute increased from 26 to 27 points last time, 1.3 million points is indeed not a small amount.

In fact, this increase is already quite significant.

The reason for such a large increase is quite simple.
This time, his 'physical' attribute improved, narrowing the gap with his 'spirit' attribute and releasing some of the potential that had been suppressed due to the imbalance between the two.

In this way, his theoretical chakra limit will naturally increase beyond expectations.

Well.
It wouldn't be accurate to say it exceeded expectations!
After all, he had always been mentally prepared for this, and this had happened more than once.

However, regardless of the circumstances, his potential has been enhanced.

Although he can't see when he'll fully tap into his potential, it's always better to prepare in advance than to find there's no potential left to tap into when the time comes.

These thoughts flashed through his mind. Qingming quickly gathered his thoughts, rested for a while, and then began to test the speed of chakra recovery.

He didn't need to test the 'Chakra Refining Technique' for restoring chakra, as before his 'Chakra Refining Technique' level was increased, he could only restore a maximum of 120000 (=5000*24) points per day. What he needed to test was only the speed at which his body naturally restored chakra.

Thus, by adding the two together, we can determine the maximum amount of chakra that can be restored each day.

With this thought in mind, Qingming paused the operation of the 'Chakra Refining Technique', then opened the panel and silently waited for the chakra in his body to recover naturally while observing the changes in 'Chakra' on the panel.

Time passes minute by minute.

About ten minutes later.

Qingming stopped observing.

At this moment, his chakra level increased by 56250 points.

Ten minutes is 56250 points, one hour is 337500 points, and a day of twenty-four hours is 8100000 points.

In other words, if he relies solely on his body's natural recovery, under conditions of sufficient energy, he can naturally recover 8100000 chakra points per day.

Before today, this number was only 6700000 points.

In other words, this improvement in his 'Constitution' attribute increased his chakra recovery speed by 1400000 points.

Without a doubt, this is a huge improvement.

It's worth noting that last time, his 'Constitution' attribute increased from 26 to 27 points, and even with some of his suppressed potential being released, the increase was only 1000000 points.

This time, however, it reached 1400000 points.

There are two reasons why this happens:
Firstly, after this upgrade, his 'physical' attribute is closer to his 'spiritual' attribute, so more of his suppressed potential has been released.

Secondly, as the basic attributes improve, the gap between each point widens.

Correspondingly, the changes it brings will be amplified simultaneously or even exponentially.

Thus, the combination of these two factors has led to the current situation.

And this is just the beginning.

Qingming could almost foresee that as his basic attributes continued to improve, this gap would widen further.

Instead of being afraid, he secretly looked forward to it.

Because just recently, he concluded that it would only take him nine days at most for his Sharingan to break through the (20000/100000) level of evolution.

At that time, his 'spirit' attribute will most likely increase slightly.

Based on past experience, every ten points increase in basic attributes represents a significant hurdle and a qualitative leap.

This time, his 'spirit' attribute will be increased to 30 points.

Qingming had a vague premonition that the thirty points of 'spirit' attribute would probably bring him some different changes.

Qingming was both excited and looking forward to it.

However, now is not the time to be happy.

'Inhale~~~ Exhale~~~ Inhale~~~ Exhale~~~'

Qingming took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

He closed the panel, then crossed his hands to form the 'Ren' seal, and used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' to create three hundred shadow clones, thus beginning a new round of cultivation.

As the saying goes, a tall building rises from the ground; while looking forward to the future, he needs to take care of the things at hand first.

Now, what he needs to do most is to seize the time to cultivate.
