Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1109 Test Success and Unexpected Joy

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qingming stopped thinking about it. He got up, changed his clothes, and walked out of the wooden house.

Arriving at the stream, he quickly washed up and began his cultivation.

And after this practice, he immediately noticed the difference.

With this physical transformation complete and his 'physique' attribute improved, he could clearly feel much more relaxed when using 'Extreme Body' to strengthen his body again.

In other words, he can bring his body to the critical point for the next transformation much faster.

Of course, an increase in chakra consumption is inevitable.

Qingming was constantly calculating the consumption in this area in order to obtain more accurate figures and thus estimate the timing of the next physical transformation.

Time passes minute by minute.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

After Qingming completed another round of physical enhancement and returned to Moon Island, he deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and absorbed and digested the cultivation experience and memories of those shadow clones over the past hour. His 'Immortal Mode' then advanced.

Previously, after a month of practice, his 'Sage Mode' proficiency had reached level 9 (97100/100000).

Now, in less than a day, he has accumulated more than two thousand, nearly three thousand proficiency points, and naturally he has advanced.

In an instant, a flood of insights surged into Qingming's mind, causing him to immerse himself in the experience of 'Immortal Mode'.

As you can see, unconsciously, the surrounding natural energy began to surge into his body, and in the blink of an eye, a unique immortal-like face appeared on his face.

Clearly, Qingming has entered 'Sage Mode'.

However, during this process, not a single fluctuation of chakra was detected.

Even when he activated 'Sage Mode', no chakra fluctuations spread outwards.

Without a doubt, Qingming has achieved the perfect 'Immortal Mode' in his mind.

From then on, regardless of whether he had stored natural energy in his body beforehand, he could basically enter 'Sage Mode' instantly, just like Hashirama Senju.

Time continues to pass.

About half an hour later.

Qingming opened his eyes again.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Qingming sensed his own presence.

He discovered that, although he had been in 'Sage Mode' for the past half hour, he had not consumed much Sage Chakra.

This is completely different from the past.

In the past, even after advancing to level 9 and undergoing three qualitative changes, even if he did nothing, as long as he maintained the 'Sage Mode' state, he would continuously consume chakra.

And now?

This drawback is no longer present.

Qingming could clearly feel that the Sage Chakra was circulating perfectly within his body.

This is the ultimate control over power.

Thinking of this, Qingming couldn't help but open the proficiency panel.

He skipped over all the above content and focused his gaze on 'Chakra Control' at the very bottom.

As you can see, in less than a day, his 'Chakra Control' proficiency level increased by more than two thousand points.

In the previous three months, his skill had increased significantly because he was developing the Bloodline Limit and frequently practiced the fusion of the seven chakra nature transformations. His proficiency had increased considerably, and he had already improved from lv8 (38600/50000) to lv8 (47600/50000).

Now, it has directly reached level 8 (49740/50000), just one step away from advancing to level 9.

Clearly, these two thousand-plus points of proficiency were not gained from practicing other skills, but rather from achieving the perfect 'Immortal Mode' advancement.

This also reflects, from another perspective, Qingming's statement about the ultimate control over power. (Level 8, 49740/50000)
Based on previous experience, it should take at most three days for them to successfully advance.

Once it advances, it will undergo a qualitative change, just like other skills.

At that time, his control over chakra will increase significantly once again.

This will not only make it easier for him to fuse the seven chakra nature transformations and develop bloodline limits, but will also reduce the energy consumption required to strengthen his body.

This was a huge and unexpected surprise for Qingming.

In this way, he no longer needs to worry about running out of chakra.

In addition, just as I mentioned this morning, the upgrade of 'Sage Mode' itself will reduce the chakra consumption required to strengthen his body.

However, to determine the exact reduction, he would need to conduct a retest.

The thought flashed through Qingming's mind, but he stopped thinking about it.

He exited the 'Immortal Mode' state, raised his hands, crossed them to form the 'Ren' character seal, and was about to use the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' again to begin a new round of training.

But at that moment, he suddenly realized that since he could already instantly enter 'Sage Mode', was it still necessary to create shadow clones to absorb natural energy?
After pondering for a while, Qingming felt that it was still necessary.

There's no other reason than the saying, "Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice."

He is able to absorb a large amount of natural energy from a vast area at once, thus instantly entering 'immortal mode'.

However, if there is no natural energy around, or not much, then even if he has a deep understanding of 'Sage Mode', he may not be able to easily enter the state of 'Sage Mode'.

That will inevitably waste time.

Therefore, it would be better to continue to separate some shadow clones and go to other places to absorb natural energy.

Of course, considering the domineering nature of his current 'Sage Mode', perhaps he could reduce the number of shadow clones that absorb natural energy.

In this way, some chakra can be saved.

"Then let's go back to the original three hundred!"

Qingming quickly made a decision.

In this way, the chakra he spent on this will decrease from the current one million points back to the original seven hundred thousand points.

It can also save 300,000 chakra points.
Qingming was very happy.

Composing himself, he formed the hand seals again and unleashed the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique,' creating six hundred shadow clones.

Among them, he packed and sealed three hundred shadow clones into a scroll, handed it to a wood clone, and took it to the primeval jungle in the northeast of the Land of Fire to continue absorbing the natural energy there.

He then assigned the remaining three hundred shadow clones to develop the Bloodline Limit.

Watching the shadow clones leave, Qingming withdrew his gaze and stopped thinking about it.

Then, with a thought, he activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' and teleported to the volcano below Moon Island to begin a new round of training.

Before long, it was late at night. Qingming stopped cultivating, returned to the wooden house, and began to rest.

And so, for the next two days, Qingming maintained a regular schedule, spending his days either cultivating or on his way to cultivate, not wasting a single moment except for eating and sleeping.

Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, after he once again retrieved the shadow clones outside and absorbed and digested their training experience and memories, his 'Chakra Control' advanced.

Like other skills, it undergoes a qualitative change the moment it is promoted to level 9.

At this moment, Qingming felt that his control over chakra had been greatly enhanced.

He tried training for a while and found that the chakra consumed was about 10% less than before.

Don't underestimate this one percent; when multiplied by his enormous daily chakra consumption, it becomes quite a large sum.

Putting everything else aside, this skill alone saves him over three million chakra points in terms of physical enhancement.

How could Qingming not be happy?
