Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1025 Improvement and Needs

Before we knew it, it was already the night of the second day.

Just as Qingming had predicted, after more than a day of practice, his 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' gained more than 3,000 proficiency points, successfully advancing from lv2 to lv5.

under the moonlight.

Qingming opened his eyes.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, his understanding of the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' rose to a new level.

With a thought, he mobilized the chakra within his body, fusing all the natural energy that had accumulated in the sealed space over the past period into Sage Chakra.

Then, he stood up and used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to teleport directly into the volcano.

By activating the 'Ultimate Body Technique,' Qingming rapidly consumed the Sage Chakra within the sealed space.

Because he had just digested a wave of energy not long ago, he didn't have much natural energy left in his body, and naturally, he didn't have much Sage Chakra either.

Therefore, it didn't take him long to digest all the Sage Chakra.

Feeling his body slightly stronger and his Byakugan gaining a bit more evolution, Qingming nodded.

Then, he used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' again to teleport to Moon Island.

Then, Qingming raised his hand and formed a hand seal, releasing the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' from his body.

Under his clothes, a triangular mark first appeared on his abdomen, then quickly disintegrated and disappeared.

Qingming frowned slightly, suppressing the turmoil in his body and mind, and then immediately focused his energy to control the natural energy that was originally one of the foundations of the seal.

Without waiting for his injured body to recover, he formed hand seals once more and unleashed the latest 'Three Elements Sealing Technique'.

That's right, everything he did before was to update the sealing technique on his body.

Soon, a familiar triangular mark appeared on his abdomen.

The natural energy that he had just forcibly controlled became his new foundation.

Qingming quietly felt these natural energies circulating inside and outside the seal.

Finally, when they reached equilibrium, he determined the proportion of natural energy now needed to maintain the seal.

At level 2, the ratio is 4:6; after advancing to level 3, it becomes 3:7; and at level 4, it becomes 2:8.

Now.
Qingming sensed it for a moment.

Now, he only needs 1 point of natural energy to bind 9 points of natural energy through the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique', which is a 1:9 ratio.

In other words, he can use less natural energy to control more natural energy.

However, 1:9 is pretty much the limit at this stage, and it would be extremely difficult to improve it further.

As for achieving the theoretical level where the seal remains stable solely by the natural energy in the external air, without requiring the participation of his own natural energy, that is, the seal is maintained.
In the short term, Qingming sees no hope.

However, this doesn't matter, because what he expected has already happened.

This time, his 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' advanced to level 5, resulting in a qualitative change, and the amount of natural energy it could store increased significantly.

At level 2, the limit is 20,000 points of natural energy. After advancing to level 3, this number becomes 50,000 points, and at level 4, it becomes 100,000 points.

Now.
According to Qingming's estimate, it can store at least 500,000 points of natural energy.

That's right, not two hundred thousand points, not three hundred thousand points, but a full fivefold increase, reaching a terrifying five hundred thousand points. At this level, if the rate of replenishing natural energy can keep up, the fused Sage Chakra can completely sustain his uninterrupted cultivation at the 'Body Limit'.

In this way, he can double the speed at which he strengthens his body.

Unfortunately, his current level 6 'Natural Energy Perception' and 'Natural Energy Control' are not enough to supply him with sufficient natural energy.

At the very least, a mere hundred shadow clones are not enough.

Currently, he invests five million chakra points in 'Body Limit' every day. Based on the number of times he trains each day, on average, he needs to consume more than three hundred thousand chakra points per hour.

Therefore, if he wants to use Sage Chakra to replace ordinary chakra, he must obtain more than 300,000 points of natural energy per hour.

Only in this way can enough Sage Chakra be fused together.

In this way, he would have to increase the number of his shadow clones that absorb natural energy by at least seven or eight times.

However, let alone the fact that he can only maintain a maximum of five hundred shadow clones for high-intensity cultivation, it is impossible for him to transform into seven or eight hundred shadow clones specifically to absorb natural energy.

Even if he could do it, he wouldn't.

After all, he still has Dust Release to develop.

Furthermore, the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' doesn't reach its peak at level 5. If he wants to master 'Sage Mode' in the future, he cannot give up this technique.

Therefore, what he can do at present is to improve the level of 'natural energy perception' and 'natural energy control' as soon as possible, so as to increase the speed at which each shadow clone absorbs natural energy, and ultimately achieve the goal of exchanging quality for quantity.

Just the day before yesterday, his 'Natural Energy Perception' and 'Natural Energy Control' were upgraded to level 6 (1/10000). One more level and he will be level 7.

Level 7 is precisely the point of the second qualitative change.

At that time, its effect will surely be greatly improved, and it may even meet the requirements.

So, when can they advance?

Qingming opened the proficiency panel.

As you can see, after more than two days of training, his proficiency in both of these skills has exceeded level 6 (2000/10000).

In this way, they can successfully advance in less than eight days.

And eight days?
It's neither long nor short.

After a quick calculation, Qingming concluded that the 'Nine-Tails' attack should not have occurred in Konoha at that time.

"Phew, thank goodness!"

Qingming breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If he could grind to level 7 before this chaos, and then start a new training schedule, it would undoubtedly save him a lot of trouble.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qingming stopped thinking about it and instead closed the panel. He raised his hand again to form a hand seal and unleashed the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

bang bang bang~
As puffs of chakra smoke appeared, four hundred and fifty shadow clones materialized in the arena.

Qingming had three hundred of them continue developing Dust Escape, leaving one hundred and fifty shadow clones.
He only allowed one hundred of them to continue practicing the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique', while the remaining fifty were used to fill the gaps left by the one hundred shadow clones responsible for absorbing natural energy.

Previously, the reason he had allocated fifty additional shadow clones to practice the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' was to advance the technique as quickly as possible.

Now that it has advanced to level 5, there is no longer a rush for the rest, so it is natural to return these shadow clones.

Only in this way can his 'Natural Energy Perception' and 'Natural Energy Control' be promoted to level 7 on time.

　Sorry I got back late today, so this is only one update. I'll make up for it with three updates tomorrow.
