Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1070 Testing and Adjustments

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qingming quickly gathered his thoughts and stopped focusing on the already perfected 'Natural Energy Perception' and 'Natural Energy Control'.

His gaze moved upwards, landing on the bloodline section.

Just like the last physical transformation, this time, his bloodline limits gained additional evolution points.

We won't discuss the Sharingan and Byakugan.

Anyway, one of them has the "Mind Reflection Technique" and the other has the "Body Limit Technique," so they gain more than a hundred evolution points every day. The extra few evolution points are not worth mentioning at all.

However, techniques like 'Wood Release', 'Molten Release', 'Ice Release', 'Storm Release', and 'Dust Release' gain an extra two or three hundred evolution points, which is not a small amount for them.

It's a pity that he didn't deliberately improve these bloodline limits, so it's still a long way from them advancing again.

Even with the assistance of 'Dust Release: Particle Style' and 'Dust Release: Limit Separation', it's not easy to accumulate 5,000 evolution points.

Shaking his head inwardly, Qingming stopped thinking about it.

His gaze moved upwards again, landing on the 'Chakra' section.

In three months, his chakra limit increased by more than 600,000 points, and it has now reached nearly 3.5 million points.

This immense amount of chakra gave him unparalleled explosive power.

Although Qingming hasn't tested it to its full potential, it shouldn't be too bad.

After all, most of the S-rank ninjutsu he possessed were the type that became more terrifying the more chakra he consumed at once.

This subtly enhanced his combat strength.

Now, Qingming is just waiting for a turning point. Once that happens, his strength will reach the level of a super shadow, and no one among humans will be his match.

babble~
Wiping his mouth, Qingming collected his thoughts.

He glanced at the panel one last time, then closed it.

Looking at the time again, it was already quite late.

So he stopped cultivating and returned to Moon Island to rest.

Tomorrow, he will also need to test his physical endurance and arrange his subsequent training plan, so he needs to conserve his energy.

······
The next day.

Qingming got up early.

As usual, he first finished washing up, then swallowed a few enhanced soldier ration pills to fill his stomach.

Then, he used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

bang bang bang~
As puffs of chakra smoke dissipated, three hundred shadow clones appeared in the arena.

In the morning, the natural energy in and around Moon Island was still relatively 'abundant'.

Therefore, he did not let the wood clone take some of the shadow clones away, but instead left them all here to absorb natural energy.

As for why he still needs to create so many shadow clones when he has already perfected both 'natural energy perception' and 'natural energy control'?
The reasoning is actually quite simple.
Firstly, shadow clones cannot fully inherit his abilities and cannot absorb natural energy on a large scale, so they still have to rely on quantity to win.

Secondly, there are limitations imposed by the surrounding environment.

As mentioned before, even if he personally takes action, the surrounding natural energy needs to be truly abundant in order to achieve near-unlimited absorption of natural energy.

Otherwise, we can only proceed step by step.

Clearly, Moon Island and its surrounding area do not meet this requirement.

Or rather, apart from the three great holy lands, there is no place in the entire ninja world that meets his requirements.

Therefore, in the end, he still had to use the method of creating a large number of shadow clones to absorb natural energy.

Once all three hundred shadow clones had dispersed, Qingming withdrew his gaze and began to draw chakra from the alternate dimension between his eyebrows to replenish the chakra within his body.

Soon, his chakra was fully replenished. Qingming raised his hands, formed the 'Ren' seal again, and used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

bang bang bang~
Five more shadow clones appeared.

Without Qingming giving any instructions, the five shadow clones knew what they had to do.

The five of them nodded to Qingming, and then ran together towards the distant sea.

Watching their disappearing figures, Qingming withdrew his gaze, and then, with a thought, directly used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to teleport to the volcano below Moon Island.

"Next, we will begin the formal testing of the body's resilience after the transformation."

With a murmur, Qingming ignored the high temperature around him and the toxic gases floating in the air, and focused his mental energy into his body.

He mobilized 500,000 points of chakra and sent them into the space in his abdomen constructed by the 'Three Elements Sealing Technique'. An equal amount of natural energy fused with this to create 500,000 points of Sage Chakra.

Next, Qingming drew upon these Sage Chakra and began using them for the training of 'Body Limit'.

······
Before you knew it, more than ten hours had passed.

It was nearing evening.

After Qingming completed another round of 'Body Limit' training, his planned training time for today was up.

Returning to Moon Island, Qingming began calculating the chakra he had used for 'Extreme Body' that day.

Thanks to the panel's accurate display, he quickly reached a conclusion.
By the end of the day, he had spent a total of 18 million chakra points on 'Body Limit', 5 million more than the original 13 million points.

"Sigh~"

Upon hearing this result, Qingming couldn't help but gasp.

Although he had a premonition beforehand that the 2.2 million chakra points he gained from this physical transformation would not be enough to meet the growing demand.

However, no one expected that this increase would be so large.

This surprised and delighted Qingming.

What's surprising is the sheer size of this gap.

The more chakra one needs to invest, the more efficient one's subsequent body strengthening will be.

Putting aside everything else, based on Qingming's preliminary test today, its efficiency in strengthening the body is 1.3 to 1.5 times that of before, an increase of 30% to 50%.

However, to determine the exact amount, he needs to conduct tests for several more days and take an average value.

After that, he will be able to estimate the timing of his next transformation based on his physical condition.

Of course, these are things to follow.

Now, all Qingming is thinking about is how to fill the gap.

Five million minus two million two hundred thousand leaves a shortfall of two million eight hundred thousand.

Qingming originally intended to extract this chakra from the chakra he had accumulated in the past.

But now, he doesn't have much spare chakra left. If he keeps drawing it out like this, it probably won't be long before he runs out.

This would deprive Qingming of the opportunity to deal with emergencies, and Qingming does not want to use it all up for the time being.

So, after thinking it over, he decided to reduce the investment in 'Dust Release: Particle Style' and 'Dust Release: Limit Break Technique' again, and allocate three million points of chakra to 'Ultimate Body'.

This might delay the advancement of his 'Dust Release: Primal World Detachment Technique' and 'Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique'.

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, it will take them quite a while to advance to perfection, so it doesn't matter if it takes longer.
