Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1067 Advancement
Twenty minutes later.

Azure returned to the surface.

Then, as planned, the five shadow clones that were practicing two Dust Release ninjutsu in the sea were retrieved.

没有任何意外，他的‘尘遁·限界剥离之术’提升了一级，其从lv1（150/200）变成了lv2（1/500）！
At this moment, a sudden realization dawned on Qingming's mind. After he fully digested it, he immediately felt that his understanding of this technique had reached a new level.

Although it hasn't reached the level of a qualitative change, it is indeed easier to use now.

Moreover, with the experience gained from his advancement as a reference, Qingming felt that if he practiced 'Dust Release: Particle Style' again, he wouldn't have to wait twenty minutes to advance ahead of time.

Thinking of this, Qingming simply stopped creating shadow clones for practice and instead came to the seaside in person to perform the 'Dust Release: Particle Style' technique.

In less than ten minutes, he had leveled the skill to level 2.

At this point, both of the Dust Release ninjutsu he had just learned had been upgraded to level 2.

It takes 500 proficiency points to upgrade from level 2 to level 3.

This isn't something you can accumulate in just a few tens of minutes.

Therefore, Qingming was not worried about his cultivation process being interrupted.

So he used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' again, creating five shadow clones, which he then sent to practice the 'Dust Release: Primal World Detachment Technique' and the 'Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique'.

As for himself.
Naturally, he returned to the volcano and began a new round of cultivation.

And so, time passed day by day.

Before we knew it, it was mid-March.

Half a month had passed since he successfully learned two Dust Release ninjutsu.

This morning.

Below Moon Island.

Inside the volcano.

As usual, Qingming was using the 'Extreme Body Technique' to strengthen his body and promote the evolution of the Byakugan.

Suddenly, a strange feeling arose within him, giving him a sense of relief as if he had been freed from shackles.

Qingming immediately stopped what he was doing and carefully checked his condition.

He quickly discovered where the problem lay.

It turns out that just now, his 'Dust Escape' finally accumulated the last bit of evolution points and completed the advancement, with the evolution points increasing from (999/1000) to (1/5000).

Once he advances to the next level, his aptitude improves, and naturally, strengthening his body becomes much easier.

Qingming concentrated his mind and began practicing the 'Extreme Body Technique' once again.

Time passes minute by minute.

About half an hour later.

He stopped.

Sensing oneself again
Just as he had predicted, this advancement in 'Dust Escape' did indeed shorten the time it took for his body to transform.

Originally, his body was supposed to reach the critical point of transformation in late April.

Now, Qingming estimates that it will be ready around mid-April, which is about a month from now.

This filled Qingming with immense joy.

Moreover, the advancement of 'Dust Release' has given him an even greater grasp of this bloodline limit.

Qingming had a vague intuition that he might be able to use less chakra to perform 'Dust Release: Particle Style' and 'Dust Release: Limit Break' to gain proficiency.

Perfect timing! It's almost been an hour, so he can go out and test it out.

With this thought in mind, Qingming used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to teleport directly to Moon Island.

The view suddenly shifted.

Qingming looked at the familiar surroundings and let out a soft exhale. Then, he stood still, letting his body recover naturally.

A moment later, feeling his body return to normal, Qingming immediately deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

In an instant, both inside and outside the island, including the shadow clones in the primeval forest in the northeastern part of the Land of Fire, all disintegrated and vanished.

A flood of memory information rushed into my mind.

As before, Qingming temporarily suppressed these memories.

He first focused his mind, sorting and storing the chakra and natural energy that returned with these memories, before he began to browse the memories in his mind.

Time passes minute by minute.

About ten minutes.

Qingming opened his eyes again.

At this moment, he had completely digested all the cultivation experience contained in these memories and transformed it into proficiency in the corresponding skills.

After doing all that, he quickly made his way to the beach.

Then, raising his hands, he began to cast 'Dust Release: Particle Style' in preparation for testing it.

Silently, a cube-shaped barrier the size of a palm appeared in his palm.

Qingming glanced at him, then said, "Go!"

The next moment, the cube-shaped barrier flew out at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in the sea dozens of meters away.

Immediately afterwards, the cube-shaped barrier suddenly expanded, its side length instantly increasing from less than ten centimeters to about one meter.

At the same time, the large amount of Dust Release chakra gathered inside it also began to expand.

Finally, it emitted a dazzling light.

When the white light disappeared, only a cubic crater remained, which was being filled by the surrounding seawater.

Qingming ignored the pit and simply opened the panel to check the chakra consumed during the spell.

"1900 points?"

Qingming pondered for a moment, then formed the hand seals again and unleashed the technique.

This time, he spent 1,800 chakra points.

Looking at the proficiency level of 'Dust Release: Particle Style', it has increased slightly.

Qingming nodded, then reduced the chakra consumption again before casting the technique.

In this way, Qingming gradually compressed the chakra consumed in each spell, testing the minimum consumption required to gain proficiency.

Before long, he got the answer—1,500 points!

That's right, it's 1,500 chakra points. He only needs 1,500 chakra points to gain one point of proficiency.

This consumption is a quarter less than before.

Not only 'Dust Release: Detachment of the Primal World Technique', but according to his subsequent tests, the minimum cost to gain proficiency in 'Dust Release: Detachment of the Limit Technique' was reduced by a quarter, or even more.

In the end, his test results showed that the 'Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique' only required an average of 6,000 chakra points to gain one point of proficiency.

Looking at their consumption and then checking his remaining reserve chakra, Aoandon thought for a moment and decided to appropriately reduce the amount of extra chakra he drew each day.

Well.
Let's reduce it from 10.48 million points to 5.48 million points!
As a result, the amount of chakra he invested in these two Dust Release ninjutsu each day increased from 20 million points to 15 million points.

Thus, even with a 25% reduction in investment, the proficiency that can be gained in these two ninjutsu techniques will not change significantly.

This will make it easier for him to make subsequent plans.

Having made up his mind, Qingming stopped thinking about it. He opened his ninja tool pouch, took out a few enhanced soldier pills, and swallowed them to replenish the energy he had consumed over the past hour.

Then, he used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' again, creating three hundred shadow clones at one time and five shadow clones at another, beginning a new round of cultivation.
