Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1122 Scored twice
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qingming collected his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

He opened his ninja tool pouch and swallowed several enhanced soldier pills in succession to replenish the energy he had just consumed. Then, he formed hand seals again and used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' to begin a new round of training.

Now that we've figured out the direction of the adjustment, it's time to test how many shadow clones we need to create to develop the Bloodline Limit.

As for the fifteen shadow clones from before...
That was merely him verifying his guess; it was certainly not the best answer.

And so, Qingming cultivated for several hours in a row, round after round, until it was late at night and the day's cultivation was over, and he finally got the answer.

The answer is to create forty shadow clones to practice simultaneously.

At this point, its efficiency is at its highest.

"Whoo~"

Qingming let out a soft breath and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he collected his thoughts, stopped thinking about it, got up and left the spot. In a few quick movements, he arrived at the wooden house on a corner of the island.

After quickly washing up, he went into the cabin to rest.

······
The next day.

He got up early.

After washing up, he prepared to test the energy consumption of the forty shadow clones.

Yesterday, due to adjustments to the cultivation plan, the number of shadow clones created varied, and their energy consumption was also different, making them unusable as a reference. Therefore, we can only conduct the test today.

Only by having a clear understanding of this can he cultivate more effectively.

With that in mind, Qingming wasted no more time and immediately used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' to create 340 shadow clones in two separate attempts, thus beginning a new round of cultivation.

And so, time passed again, little by little.

Before we knew it, it was late at night again.

After a full day of training, he had a grasp of the energy required to develop the Bloodline Limit.

According to the latest test results, if he creates forty additional shadow clones for training each time, it will consume approximately six million points of his chakra per day.

This number is 2.2 million points higher than the original 3.8 million points.

Clearly, the number of shadow clones does not determine how much chakra is consumed.

Previously, although he created many shadow clones, he only practiced them superficially, so he didn't consume too much chakra.

But now, having fully integrated the nature transformations of the seven chakras, he must be constantly on guard against the possibility of losing control. At the first sign of trouble, he must use the Flying Thunder God Technique to perform a short-distance teleportation to ensure the survival of his shadow clones.

This will naturally consume more chakra.

All of these must be included in the cost.

Fortunately, with his current daily chakra reserves, 2.2 million chakra points, while not a small amount, are still manageable for him relatively easily.

Therefore, Qingming didn't care much.

However, the stimulation of his various bloodline limits brought Qingming some unexpected joy.

According to the panel feedback, after developing the Bloodline Limit using the new method, the evolution speed of his 'Wood Release', 'Molten Release', 'Ice Release', 'Storm Release', and 'Dust Release' has all increased.

As for the extent of the increase...
It's about 20%!
Originally, it would have taken him about a month to advance in his 'Storm Release' technique.

Now, it only takes three weeks.

His early advancement will also allow his body to reach the critical point of transformation more quickly.

With this thought in mind, Qingming nodded in satisfaction.

Afterward, he wasted no more time and immediately returned to the cabin to rest and conserve his energy for the next day's training.

······
Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed. Just as Qingming had calculated, in just three weeks, his 'Storm Release' had accumulated the last bit of evolutionary power due to the fusion of seven chakra nature transformations through the forty shadow clones, reaching the edge of advancement.

This morning.

When Qingming returned to Moon Island as usual, retrieved all his shadow clones, and absorbed and digested their training experience from the past hour, his 'Storm Release' advanced.

Just like when he advanced his 'Ice Release' technique a little over a month ago, he also showed signs of losing control.

His entire body was enveloped in lightning.

This lightning was not as violent as ordinary lightning; it appeared silently, flowing down his body like water and spreading quietly in all directions.

However, don't assume it's harmless just because it looks calm.

On the contrary, it combines the flexibility of water with the explosiveness of lightning, and once it touches its target, it will release a power that is stronger than that of ordinary lightning release in an instant.

Fortunately, Qingming's consciousness was immersed in understanding the evolution of 'Storm Release', which caused his Storm Release chakra to become somewhat out of control.

However, subconsciously, they did not regard the surrounding soil, rocks, flowers, trees and shrubs as hostile targets.

Otherwise, these lightning bolts wouldn't be so quiet.

Time passes minute by minute.

About half an hour later.

Qingming opened his eyes again.

A glint of lightning flashed in his eyes.

"panel!"

With a thought, he opened the proficiency panel.

Sure enough, his 'Storm Release' evolution level had broken through the barrier of (4999/5000) and reached (1/10000)!
In this way, it is on the same evolutionary level as 'Wood Release', just like 'Ice Release'.

Qingming was very satisfied with this.

He then closed the panel, glanced around, and with a thought, withdrew the dissipated Storm Release chakra.

After a short while, he began to assess the impact of this 'Storm Release' advancement on his physical enhancement.

Having advanced to 'Ice Release' before, he didn't spend much time before reaching a conclusion this time.

Similar to the advancement of 'Ice Release', its improvement to his aptitude will likely bring him to the critical point of transformation about ten days earlier.

In this way, his body will be able to transform in about fifty days, by early February.

But this is still not the final result.

As he adjusted the way he developed his bloodline limit, the evolution speed of several bloodline limits accelerated. Originally, he estimated that 'Lava Release' would only be able to advance after his body completed its transformation, but it would advance ahead of schedule.

This point in time will be about a month later.

In other words, he will advance to a higher level before his body undergoes a physical transformation.

At that time, his improved qualifications will further shorten the time required for his transformation.

That's why Qingming said that fifty days was still not his limit.

However, by then, his body was almost on the verge of transformation, so he didn't need to care too much about the improvements it brought.

What Qingming valued more was its impact on his subsequent physical enhancement.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qingming stopped thinking about it.

He gathered his thoughts, rested briefly, and swallowed several enhanced soldier pills to replenish the energy he had just consumed. Then, he once again used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' to begin a new round of training.
