Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1015 Promotion
Inside the volcano.

Qingming stopped cultivating again.

Just like half an hour ago, he once again used the 'Mind Communication Technique' to contact the shadow clone outside that was absorbing natural energy.

However, this time, he did not allow many people to dispel the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

These shadow clones have been absorbing natural energy for an hour. If he were to retrieve ten more shadow clones, the natural energy they carry would inevitably exceed his control.

Even though the ten shadow clones had given him some experience half an hour ago, improving his proficiency in the skill of 'natural energy control' and increasing the amount of natural energy he could manipulate, it still wasn't enough.

After communicating with his shadow clones for a while and confirming their progress, Qingming finally retrieved the six shadow clones.

In this way, the natural energy he receives is just within a controllable range.

Suddenly, six memories surfaced in my mind.

Qingming did not rush to digest the cultivation experience contained in these memories. Instead, he first controlled the natural energy in his body that returned along with the disintegration of the shadow clone.

After sending them all into the alternate dimension in his abdomen, he began to sort through the memories in his mind, absorb and digest the cultivation experience contained within, and convert it into proficiency in the corresponding skills.

Time passes minute by minute.

He finished digesting it very quickly.

Open the panel again, and you can see that the proficiency of 'Natural Energy Perception' and 'Natural Energy Control' has increased slightly in the skill section.

Seeing this, Qingming nodded in satisfaction.

He then closed the panel and refocused his attention on the natural energy within the alternate dimension in his abdomen.

With a thought, he mobilized the chakra within his body, allocated an equal amount, and injected it into the alternate dimension in his abdomen.

Soon, he fused together over a hundred points of Sage Chakra.

Just like half an hour ago, he didn't try to use the Sage Chakra to strengthen other parts of his body, but instead used it wherever was available.

With such a small amount of Sage Chakra, it's really unnecessary to go to the trouble of transferring it back and forth.

Soon, he exhausted all the Sage Chakra, and Qingming was teleported back to the ground.

Afterwards, he directly ordered the four hundred shadow clones who were developing Dust Release to simultaneously deactivate the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

bang bang bang~
As puffs of chakra smoke dissipated, all the shadow clones disintegrated and vanished.

Long stretches of memories surfaced in my mind.

Qingming quickly focused his mind to absorb and digest the cultivation experience contained in these memories.

It must be said that with the addition of an extra hundred shadow clones, his speed in developing Dust Release has indeed increased significantly.

Now, every time he deactivates the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and retrieves these shadow clones, he gains new insights, allowing him to experiment from more angles.

If he continues to cultivate in this way, Qingming estimates that in two or three months at most, he will be able to completely master the theory of fusion of the three chakra nature transformations of 'wind, fire, and earth'.

After that, you can try it out in practice.

Once he successfully imprints it onto the panel, further improvements will only be a matter of time.

With this in mind, Qingming withdrew his thoughts and began to wholeheartedly absorb and digest the memories in his mind.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Qingming opened his eyes again.

Standing still and pondering for a moment, he took out several enhanced soldier ration pills, swallowed them to replenish the energy he had just consumed, and then once again used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'. This time, he created four hundred and sixteen shadow clones.

Of these, four hundred were used to further develop Dust Escape, while the remaining sixteen were used to fill the gap left by the one hundred shadow clones that absorbed natural energy.

Clearly, the starting point of these sixteen shadow clones now surpasses that of the other eighty-four.

They can not only absorb natural energy faster, but also store more natural energy in their bodies.

What he needs to do next is to retrieve all eighty-four shadow clones and absorb and digest the cultivation experience they have summarized.

Then, wait another hour, and create shadow clones with an even higher starting point, and so on.

After sensing his mental pressure and confirming that there were no problems, Qingming once again used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to teleport into the volcano and begin a new round of 'Extreme Body' training.

Half an hour later.

Qingming paused his cultivation of 'Body Extreme', and after some communication, he retrieved the five shadow clones that were absorbing natural energy.

In an instant, over 150 points of natural energy were enveloped by nearly 20,000 points of chakra and returned to his body.

Qingming immediately focused his mind and sent all the natural energy into the alternate space in his abdomen. Then he absorbed and digested the cultivation experience in the memories of the five shadow clones.

A moment later, he was suddenly enlightened, and a sudden realization dawned on him.

Qingming calmly digested the information for a while, then opened the panel and, sure enough, his 'Natural Energy Perception' and 'Natural Energy Control' had broken through level 1 and reached level 2 (1/500)!
At this moment, Qingming felt that his perception and control over natural energy had improved significantly.

Let's put perception aside for now and talk about control first.

Before his 'Natural Energy Control' level was upgraded to lv2, he could only control a little over 100 points of natural energy at most; any more and he might lose control.

And now.
Qingming sensed the natural energy within the alternate dimension in his abdomen and felt that he could control at least 300 points of natural energy.

And this is just the beginning.

Once he reaches 'Natural Energy Control' at level 2 and makes further progress, this number will increase even further.

By the time he reached level 2, Qingming estimated that he should be able to control around 1,000 points of natural energy.

At this point, it is no longer a small amount.

Perhaps, by then, he will be able to try to mobilize the Sage Chakra fused from it and participate in the training of 'Body Limit'.

Only in this way can the effects of Sage Chakra be better utilized, allowing his body to evolve more rapidly.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming quickly gathered his thoughts.

He then used the 'Mind Communication Technique' again, contacting the shadow clones outside that were absorbing natural energy, and causing five of them to dispel the 'Shadow Clone Technique' once more.

Instantly, another 20,000 points of chakra and 150 points of natural energy entered his body.

Qingming followed the same method, sending 150 points of natural energy into the alternate dimension in his abdomen.

Thus, the natural energy within it reaches three hundred points.

Qingming separated an equal amount of chakra and entered it, fusing it with natural energy, ultimately obtaining three hundred points of Sage Chakra.

Adhering to the principle of proximity, he once again used this Sage Chakra to strengthen the cells near his abdomen.

This round of enhancement is now complete.

Qingming focused his mind again and began cultivating the 'Extreme Body Technique,' quietly waiting for the one-hour mark to arrive.
