Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1028 Rapid Evolution (Third Update)
bang bang bang~
As puffs of chakra smoke dissipated, five hundred shadow clones appeared in the arena.

Looking at these shadow clones, Qingming directly ordered three hundred of them to continue developing the Dust Escape technique, and selected another one hundred to practice the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique'.

Now, his 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' is not just at the level of breaking through to lv6, but its proficiency has reached lv6 (6250/10000), and he has completed nearly two-thirds of the journey to advance to lv7.

At the current pace, it should take at most three days for it to successfully advance to level 7.

And this was after he reduced the number of shadow clones he could create to practice this technique from 150 to 100 after advancing to level 5.

Otherwise, he might have already leveled this skill to level 7 several days ago.

What is certain is that once this technique advances to level 7, it will undergo a qualitative change, and the amount of natural energy that can be stored will definitely increase significantly.

This makes it even easier for him to use this technique to transfer funds again.

However, this is pretty much its limit. To break through that limit, it will probably take a lot more effort.

But Qingming might not necessarily go to that trouble.

There's no other reason than that even if this technique continues to improve, it will only store more natural energy, and at most, it can maintain the stability of the seal without the need for the body's own natural energy.

However, this effect is negligible.

Once he advances to level 7, the natural energy he can store will be enough to support him in maxing out 'Natural Energy Perception' and 'Natural Energy Control', thus meeting the prerequisite for mastering 'Immortal Technique Mode'. Then he won't need to waste any more effort to continue improving 'Three Elements Sealing Technique'.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qingming shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Then, with a thought, he divided the remaining one hundred shadow clones into two parts, with fifty of them continuing to scatter throughout Moon Island to absorb natural energy.

The rest he sealed into a scroll.

Then, Qingming raised his hand and formed a hand seal, unleashing the 'Wood Clone Technique'.

Then he saw a wriggling motion on his shoulder, and a figure darted out, transforming into his likeness in front of him.

Qingming skillfully handed the scroll to the other party and instructed, "Send them over there."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, the wooden clone nodded.

Then, he immediately used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to teleport to the primeval forest in the northeastern part of the Land of Fire.

That's right, this time the wood clone didn't fly over, but instead used a lot of chakra to teleport directly there.

In fact, not only this time, but since his 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' was upgraded to level 6 a few days ago, which can store one million points of natural energy, he no longer needs to cycle through releasing shadow clones to absorb natural energy. He no longer flies, and he uses space teleportation, which takes less time, to transfer between locations.

The reason for this choice is simple: to save time.

Even flying from here to the Land of Fire, including the relatively nearby northeastern region, takes some time.

For someone who needs to recall his shadow clones every hour, this is completely not worthwhile.

Therefore, he would rather expend more chakra to save time on the journey, so that his shadow clones could absorb more natural energy.

And so, it has become what it is today.

Watching the wooden clone disappear, Qingming waited patiently.

Soon, a surge of chakra, carrying a memory, returned to his body.

These memories belong to no one but that wooden clone from just now.

Qingming closed his eyes, browsed the other party's memories, and after confirming that the fifty shadow clones had begun to work, he gathered his thoughts, teleported into the volcano, and began his own cultivation.

Because he currently only has a little over 50,000 points of natural energy in his body, which is not enough to sustain his long-term cultivation of the 'Extreme Body'.

Fortunately, Qingming didn't touch these natural energies. Instead, he used ordinary chakra to cultivate 'Body Extreme' in the normal way.

And so, time passed by, second by second.

Soon, an hour passed.

Qingming stopped cultivating, and with a thought, locked onto the Flying Thunder God mark on the open space in the center of Moon Island, activating the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

In an instant, he vanished from the spot.

······
at the same time.

On the open ground in the center of Moon Island, Qingming's figure suddenly appeared.

As usual, I took a break to allow my body to return to normal.

Then, he immediately deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

In an instant, all five hundred shadow clones—both inside and outside the island, including the fifty shadow clones absorbing natural energy in the primeval forest in the northeast of the Land of Fire—collapsed and dissipated.

Suddenly, a flood of memories rushed into my mind.

Along with them came the chakra of these shadow clones, as well as a large amount of natural energy.

Qingming barely needs to worry about ordinary chakra, as it is easily absorbed by his meridians. Even if some overflows, it will be absorbed by the 'Sealing of All Things' between his eyebrows.

Qingming was already very familiar with this process, so he didn't have to put in much effort and could complete it simply by relying on his body's instincts.

However, natural energy requires his focused guidance.

This time, as expected, the total of one hundred shadow clones on both sides absorbed far more than 50,000 points of natural energy in the past hour.

It even exceeded the passing mark of 300,000 points, reaching around 350,000 points.

This is why his 'Natural Energy Control' has advanced to level 7, resulting in a qualitative change. The amount of natural energy he can control has increased directly from 50,000 points at level 6 to 500,000 points now.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't dare to recall so many shadow clones at the same time.

After sending all 350,000 points of natural energy into the sealing space formed by the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique', Qingming began to digest the memories in his mind.

Time passes minute by minute.

This time, it took him nearly twenty minutes to digest the memory and transform the cultivation experience contained within it into proficiency in the corresponding skills.

Opening the panel and looking at the newly added proficiency level, Qingming nodded in satisfaction.

He then used the same technique again, creating five hundred shadow clones.

He instructed three hundred of them to continue developing the Dust Escape Technique, one hundred to practice the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique,' and for the last one hundred, Qingming still divided them into two groups.

Some remained on the island, while others were sent to the Land of Fire.

However, this time, he did not distribute them equally. Instead, he left thirty of the shadow clones on Moon Island and sent the remaining seventy away.

The reason for this choice is quite simple.
After advancing to level 7, the Shadow Clone's absorption rate of natural energy is too fast. Previously on Moon Island, it was possible to maintain balance even with fifty Shadow Clone absorptions.

But now, it can no longer support so many shadow clones.

Therefore, only a portion of them could be sent to the Land of Fire.

The forest over there is big enough that even if there were twenty more, it wouldn't be a problem.

After waiting a while, once the wooden clone dispelled the 'Wooden Clone Technique', Qingming was teleported inside the volcano and began cultivating the 'Extreme Body Technique'.

With ample natural energy, he naturally no longer needed to use ordinary chakra for training.

After spending some time, Qingming first converted the more than 400,000 points of natural energy stored in the sealed space in his abdomen into Sage Chakra.

Then, he mobilized this chakra and channeled it into his meridians.

With his level 7 'Natural Energy Control' and level 8 'Chakra Control', Qingming steadily controlled these Sage Chakra.

After confirming that there was no risk of it getting out of control, Qingming decisively began cultivating the 'Extreme Body Technique'.

In the past, due to insufficient natural energy, although he had used Sage Chakra to strengthen his body, he would always stop at the crucial moment.

Now, after using Sage Chakra to cultivate 'Body Limit' throughout the entire process, Qingming felt as if every cell in his body was cheering.

Every minute and every second, he could clearly feel his progress.

Qingming even had a faint feeling that his body would begin to transform in the next moment.

Unfortunately, this was just an illusion caused by his sudden increase in evolution speed.

Once he has fully adapted to this enhancement, he will be able to accurately grasp the progress of his body.

Gathering his thoughts, Qingming stopped thinking about it and focused entirely on cultivating the 'Extreme Body Technique'.
