Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1120 Advancement
After getting used to the level 8 'Chakra Refining Technique' for a while, and once it could circulate smoothly within his body, Qingming finally stopped paying attention to the other party and instead focused his attention on the group of shadow clones who were still cultivating.

This time, he spent some time testing the effects of the upgraded 'Chakra Refining Technique'.

Therefore, their cultivation time has exceeded one hour, approaching one and a half hours.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that when they return, the amount of memories they bring will far exceed that of the past.

Fortunately, his mind and body have now regained some balance, and the sealed part of his spiritual power has long been released.

Otherwise, he might have to retrieve these shadow clones in two separate trips.

Thinking this, Qingming shook his head, then withdrew his gaze and, with a thought, dispelled the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

The next moment, all these shadow clones disintegrated and vanished, along with the shadow clones that were absorbing natural energy in the primeval forest in the northeastern part of the Land of Fire.

Subsequently, a large amount of memory information, chakra, and natural energy returned to the body.

Qingming's expression remained unchanged. As always, he temporarily suppressed these memories. Only after classifying and storing the chakra and natural energy that returned along with these memories did he begin to browse the memories in his mind.

Time passes minute by minute.

About twenty minutes later.

Qingming finished browsing through these memories and absorbed and digested all the cultivation experience contained within them.

After doing all that, he swallowed a few enhanced soldier ration pills to replenish the energy he had just consumed.

Then, he used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' again and began a new round of training.

And so, time passed day by day.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Before we knew it, the hot summer had passed, and it was early November.

This afternoon.

When Qingming finished his 'Extreme Body' training once again and returned to Moon Island, he deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique,' retrieved all his shadow clones, and absorbed and digested their training experience and memories from the past hour. Suddenly, a sense of restlessness arose within him.

Qingming was very familiar with this feeling; it was a sign of advancing to the next level of bloodline limit.

Suddenly, Qingming opened his eyes.

"panel!"

With a thought, he opened the proficiency panel.

Above, after more than two months of passive evolution, among the three bloodline limits that were on the verge of advancement, 'Ice Release', which had made the fastest progress, was the first to reach the edge of advancement.

At this point, its evolution level has increased from (4650/5000) to (4999/5000), and it is only one step away from advancing.

Without any hesitation, Qingming immediately focused his mind, mobilized the chakra within his body, and converted it all into ice-style chakra.

Next, he began to use this ice-style chakra to stimulate his body.

Time passes minute by minute.

Qingming carefully sensed the changes in his body, and unknowingly, his mind was completely immersed in the depths of his physical body.

Kakakka~
Suddenly, a strange sound came from behind.

A layer of frost appeared around Qingming's body at some point.

Immediately afterwards, the frost turned into ice crystals.

Moreover, these ice crystals began to spread rapidly outwards from him, visible to the naked eye.

It started as a two-meter radius, quickly grew to a ten-meter radius, and after a few minutes, it covered an area of ​​a hundred meters in radius.

And this is not the end.

As Qingming's bloodline limit evolves, its coverage area continues to expand, and even at an increasingly rapid pace.

Moreover, icicles appeared on the ice surface.

These icicles vary in length and thickness, but they all have one thing in common: they appear very quickly and without any pattern.

This caused many small animals in the forest to suffer.

They weren't frozen to death by the ice; instead, they were pierced through by these icicles.

Crimson blood flowed from their bodies, quickly freezing into pieces of red gemstones—beautiful yet cruel.

Fortunately, this was on an uninhabited island.

If this happened in a densely populated area, the impact would be unimaginable. Countless people would likely be killed in this attack.

It's no wonder that Kirigakure rejects the Yuki clan's ninjas. I'm afraid that when their clan's ninjas suddenly awaken their bloodline limits, they cause countless deaths and injuries due to loss of control.

Of course, this does not mean that Qingming lost control.

The strange phenomena appearing around him were certainly due to his advanced Ice Release technique, which temporarily reduced his control over it.

But more so, it's because his Ice Release ability after this evolution is too strong.

The strange phenomena around them were merely the result of a small amount of his power overflowing.

After all, in terms of the Sharingan, after this evolution, his 'Ice Release' will be at the three-tomoe level.

While the three-tomoe Sharingan is far inferior to the Mangekyou Sharingan, it is not something that ordinary people in the Uchiha clan can awaken.

Correspondingly, even in the Snow Clan at its peak, very few people could successfully awaken this level of Ice Release.

Therefore, it is normal for some signs of things getting out of control.

Time continues to pass.

About half an hour later.

Qingming opened his eyes again.

Kakakka~
The moment he moved, a large number of ice crystals shattered.

Qingming glanced around.

In an instant, he understood what was going on.

Qingming frowned slightly. After a moment's thought, he suddenly raised his hand and released a burst of chakra.

This chakra quickly covered the island with ice crystals.

Then, with a thought, Qingming merged with these ice crystals.

At this moment, Qingming let out a soft shout: "Disperse!"

The next moment, the ice crystals turned into white mist and disappeared.

Clearly, he used the power of 'Ice Release' to erase the ice crystals on the ground.

He couldn't do that before.

Only now, after advancing his skill level, and further improving his control over Ice Release, will he be able to do this with such ease.

Thinking this, Qingming opened the panel again and looked at the bloodline section.

As you can see, at this point, the evolution level of his 'Ice Release' has broken through the barrier of (4999/5000) and reached (1/10000)!
From this point on, it will be on the same level as 'Wood Release', and the difficulty of its evolution will be greatly increased.

However, these are all matters for later and Qingming need not consider them for now.

Now, he has one more thing to do, which is to determine the extent to which it will enhance his qualifications.

With this thought in mind, Qingming began to sense the changes in his body.

In fact, he needed to conduct some tests to confirm this.

However, his experience in advancing his bloodline limit multiple times has allowed him to skip the testing process and make relatively accurate judgments directly.

Therefore, Qingming omitted this process.

A few minutes later.

He opened his eyes, already having a general idea of ​​how his aptitude had improved.

If we convert this into the time saved by strengthening the body, this advancement will allow him to reach the critical point of transformation about ten days earlier.

Ten days may not seem like much, but considering that his body will complete its transformation in less than three months, these ten days are still quite rewarding.

Moreover, this is not a one-time event.

Each subsequent strengthening of his body, in theory, would save him some time.

Furthermore, at the current pace, his 'Storm Release' should also be able to advance before his body completes its transformation.

This will also save some time.

Qingming was very much looking forward to it.
