Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1045 Huge Improvement
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

Six days have passed in the blink of an eye.

This morning.

As always, Qingming used the "Extreme Body Technique" inside the volcano on Moon Island to strengthen his body and promote the evolution of the Byakugan.

Suddenly, a strange feeling came over me.

Qingming was taken aback at first, but when he practiced 'Extreme Body Technique', he could clearly feel that the difficulty of strengthening his body had been reduced.

Although the decrease wasn't huge, it was a real reduction.

He had encountered this situation before.

In the past few times, this situation has occurred when his bloodline limit evolved, which also led to an improvement in his physical aptitude.

Clearly, this time is no exception.

With a thought, Qingming paused his cultivation of 'Body Extreme' and opened the proficiency panel.

Sure enough, his 'Storm Release' had finally advanced.

After ten days of passive evolution, its evolution level has finally increased from (946/1000) to (1/5000), putting it at the same stage as the 'Molten Release' and 'Ice Release' that evolved earlier.

However, it seems that because his current foundation is too strong, the improvement in aptitude brought about by his evolution is not as great as his previous 'Molten Release' and 'Ice Release'.

Qingming estimated that it could only bring forward the timing of his physical transformation by about four or five days at most.

After the Nine-Tails' rampage, the three days he wasted in the village meant that the timing of his physical transformation remained essentially unchanged, still anchored between late November and early December.

However, Qingming wasn't in a hurry.

His gaze shifted downwards.
As you can see, without realizing it, his proficiency in 'Body Extreme' has reached the peak of level 8, and he is not far from advancing to level 9.

Based on the effect of his previous promotion to level 8, it can be basically predicted that after this promotion to level 9, the effect on strengthening his body will definitely increase significantly.

At that time, his body will inevitably reach the critical point of transformation ahead of schedule.

Therefore, he didn't care much about the difference of one or two days.

'I'm just not sure how much it will improve exactly?'

With that thought in mind, Qingming used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to leave the volcano and arrive at Moon Island.

Next, he found an open space and began to test his upgraded 'Storm Release'.

Indeed, he didn't expect Storm Release to boost his combat power, but it was still a bloodline limit, and it had even evolved, so he had to test it out.

That way, at least when he uses it, he won't be clueless.

Sizzle~
Unlike ordinary lightning release, storm release, which is a fusion of water and lightning chakra nature transformations, does not appear violent.

It inherits the purest and softest properties of water, making it very flexible to manipulate and able to change its shape according to Qingming's will.

When facing an enemy, it can be said that it is impossible to defend against.

As for lethality
Don't worry about this.

When necessary, Qingming can completely suppress the softness of water attributes and let it display the domineering power of lightning attributes.

Just like now, with a thought, a stream of blue-black chakra flew out from his palm, landed on the ground, and like a water snake, quickly bypassed several large trees in front and pounced on a boulder behind.

Almost the instant the water touched the boulder, Qingming's eyes widened, and its tip suddenly transformed into a straight lightning spear, striking the boulder precisely.

In just a moment, the boulder was cleaved into pieces.

Then, Qingming once again manipulated the water snake to turn ninety degrees to the right, transforming it into a sharp sword that precisely pierced through a large tree several meters away.

Even now, the Storm Release chakra he had condensed had not completely dissipated.

It gradually disappeared after Qingming stopped controlling it.

Recalling the feeling of controlling this chakra just now, Qingming nodded in satisfaction.

After testing for a few more minutes, having gained a sufficient understanding of the current control and destructive power of Storm Release, he returned to the volcano to continue his training.

It is worth mentioning that, over time, he became more and more adapted to the environment inside the first cavity of the volcano.

Now, even without the protection of the 'Lightning Escape Membrane', he is no longer afraid of the harsh environment inside.

Qingming estimated that once his body completes its transformation, he should be able to attempt to enter the second cavity for cultivation.

At that time, his speed of physical enhancement will increase even further. "Swoosh~"

Thinking of this, Qingming couldn't help but wipe away non-existent drool from the corner of his mouth.

Then, he gathered his thoughts, mobilized the Sage Chakra within his body, and began to seriously practice 'Body Limit'.

And so, time passed by, second by second.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Just as Qingming had predicted, after advancing his 'Storm Escape', his 'Extreme Body' also successfully advanced after three days of training.

This afternoon.

Inside the volcano.

After Qingming finished practicing 'The Ultimate Body' once as usual, a sudden realization dawned on him.

Qingming quickly teleported to the open space in the center of Moon Island, then sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to digest these insights.

Time passes minute by minute.

About ten minutes later.

Qingming opened his eyes again.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Without any hesitation, he stood up and used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' again to teleport into the volcano.

Then, he began to practice 'Extreme Body' again and again.

At first, his movements were exactly the same as before.

But soon, some subtle changes occurred.

In the end, it was even quite different from before.

And this is only the outward appearance.

Just now, if a Hyuga clan ninja had stood here, using his Byakugan to observe the flow of chakra within him...

Then you will immediately notice that, through repeated practice, the flow of Sage Chakra within his body undergoes a dramatic change.

And that is the most important thing.

These changes also increased his efficiency in strengthening his body by 30%.

That's right. Now that he's using the 'Extreme Body Technique' to strengthen his body, its efficiency has increased by a full 30%.

This result completely exceeded Qingming's expectations.

Although he had thought that this advancement might greatly improve his efficiency in strengthening his body, he really didn't expect it to increase by 30%.

It should be noted that he is already using the "Ultimate Body Technique" to enhance his body at a high efficiency, and this is an additional 30% improvement.
how to say?

In response, Qingming could only say that he had underestimated the qualitative change that would occur after 'Extreme Body' was promoted to level 9 (0/0).

However, this way, his body will reach the critical point of transformation around mid-November.

This is definitely good news for Qingming.

This means he can resolve the imbalance between his physical and mental state more quickly.

At the same time, it also buys time for us to continue balancing these two aspects later.

As for the extra two million chakra points consumed as a result...
Qingming didn't care at all!

That's right, the increased efficiency after advancing to the 'Ultimate Body' level doesn't come without a price.

Previously, he only needed to invest five million points of chakra into it each day.

Now, that number has become seven million points.

Fortunately, he had just obtained half of the Nine-Tails more than ten days ago, which gives him an extra six million chakra points every day; otherwise, it would have been really difficult to collect the rest.

However, this meant that his natural energy was somewhat insufficient.

After all, his natural energy was enough for five million points of chakra fusion before, and now that he suddenly has two million more, it will naturally not be enough.
