Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1062 Promotion
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qingming quickly gathered his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. He focused his mind and continued to cultivate.

Sunrise and sunset.

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

It's early February.

This morning.

As usual, Qingming completed a round of 'Body Limit' training, returned to Moon Island, deactivated 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique', retrieved all his shadow clones, and absorbed and digested their training experience and memories from the past hour. Suddenly, a realization dawned on him.

Qingming's eyes snapped open, a look of joy flashing in them.

But soon, he closed his eyes again and began to carefully comprehend the knowledge in his mind.

Time passes minute by minute.

More than half an hour later.

Qingming then opened his eyes again.

This time, the joy in his eyes was even greater.

"panel!"

With a thought, Qingming opened the proficiency panel.

Sure enough, in the skill section, his 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' had been upgraded from lv8 to lv9, and it was at the perfect lv9 (0/0) level.

In other words, he had pushed this technique to its limits.

The realization that had just surfaced in his mind was the knowledge that emerged after he advanced to level 9 and underwent a qualitative change.

After digesting and understanding this knowledge, Qingming felt that his understanding of this technique had directly reached a new level.

Without any hesitation, he immediately wanted to use this technique to reconstruct a sealed space on his body.

However, when he saw the natural energy in his abdominal space, which was close to the maximum value of ten million points, he was in a dilemma.

After all, to ensure that the two constructed sealed spaces do not interfere with each other, he must first remove the seal on his body.

But what happens to the natural energy inside if the seal is erased?
He is no longer able to control so much natural energy.

After some thought, Qingming finally drew inspiration from the method of storing chakra outside the body, raised his hands to form hand seals, and unleashed the 'Wood Clone Technique'.

Then, a twitch appeared on his shoulder, and a wooden clone was split off from it.

Qingming looked at the other party and, without saying a word, directly used the level 8 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' on him.

The next moment, a mark similar to the one on his body, shaped like an equilateral triangle, appeared on his abdomen.

Qingming reached out and pressed his hand on the mark.

Next, he mobilized the natural energy within his body and poured it little by little into the wood element's body.

However, unlike storing chakra, as soon as his natural energy entered his body, the wood clone's body twisted, and some parts sprouted lush green shoots, giving it an overall sense of vitality.

Qingming, witnessing this scene, showed no surprise, as if he had expected it.

In fact, it is true.

Unlike the 'All Things Sealed' which stores chakra, the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' requires leaving a portion of natural energy outside to create a cycle in order to maintain the stability of the seal.

This means that some natural energy will always directly come into contact with the body of the wood clone.

As is well known, natural energy has a strong catalytic effect on Wood Release, and Wood Clone is a physical clone he created using Wood Release.

Therefore, it's not surprising that the wood clone encountered problems.

Qingming could clearly sense that the wooden clone in front of him had not only become much less stable, but was also continuously absorbing natural energy.

In this situation, let alone storing natural energy, just not collapsing would be a testament to his high level of proficiency in the 'Wood Clone Technique'.

This is also the main reason why he had never considered storing natural energy outside the body before.

However, it's still fine to use it temporarily for emergencies. Time is ticking away.

A few minutes later.

Qingming completed the transmission of natural energy.

Then, he took a deep breath and, based on the insights that had just surfaced in his mind, immediately began to construct a new 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' on himself.

At first, just like before, countless sealing spells covered his entire body, then quickly contracted, eventually forming an arc-shaped triangular mark on his abdomen.

Then, three sealing chains shot out from the three corners of the triangular mark, two of which, as before, took root in his mind and body.

However, the third sealing chain was different—it did not attempt to seek natural energy within him.

Of course, even if it searched, it would be impossible to find it.

Because he no longer has any natural energy in his body, all the natural energy, including the ten percent of natural energy he usually uses to maintain the seal, has been sent into the wood part of his body.

But this did not prevent the seal from taking shape.

Then, the last sealing chain seemed to suddenly materialize, detaching directly from his body like a tentacle and reaching into the void in front of him.

The next moment, it seemed to be anchored to something, trembled violently, then tensed up, and finally slowly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Qingming felt specks of natural energy flowing into his body along the sealing chain.

That's right. The 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' that has been upgraded to level 9 (0/0) not only realized his original idea of ​​maintaining the stability of the seal by anchoring to the natural energy of the outside world, but also gained an additional ability, which is to autonomously absorb the natural energy around him and replenish it into his body.

As for its speed...
Qingming closed his eyes and carefully felt the process.

About ten minutes later.

He opened his eyes again.

With a thought, he opened the proficiency panel.

Upon closer inspection, his 'natural energy' had increased by more than a thousand points.

This speed is slightly higher than the speed at which his single shadow clone normally absorbs natural energy.

how to say?

Better than nothing!
With a silent complaint, Qingming stopped paying attention to these changes and began testing its reserves.

Compared to other changes, this is what he cares about most.

Qingming reached out and pressed his hand on the abdomen of the wooden clone once again.

The next moment, the natural energy stored in his body began to flow back and enter his body.

In the blink of an eye, several more minutes had passed, and the natural energy within Mu Fen's body had been completely drained.

With a thought, Qingming released the 'Wood Clone Technique', freeing the wooden clone in front of him.

Then, he extended his mental energy to carefully sense the situation within the sealed space in his abdomen.

As you can see, the nearly ten million points of natural energy that were previously present now occupy less than one-third of the entire space.

In other words, after this advancement, the sealing space constructed by his 'Three Elements Sealing Technique' has a storage capacity of over 30 million points of natural energy.

While this storage capacity doesn't compare to the 50 million points of chakra stored in 'All Things Seal', it's still quite good.

At the very least, it solved his immediate problem.

For the next period of time, he no longer needed to worry about where to store natural energy.

At the same time, his ability to deal with emergencies has also greatly improved.

"Not bad!"

Sensing all this, Qingming nodded in satisfaction.
