Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1128 Test Pause and Advancement

After a night's sleep, the next day, Qingming began to focus on testing the time required for his next physical transformation.

This test lasted for a week.

The test results did not disappoint him.

According to his estimate, it will take about seven months, until early September, for his body to reach the critical point of transformation.

It seems like quite a while has passed, so why do you say he wasn't disappointed?

It's very simple; this is just an estimate he made based on the current rate of evolution.

Don't forget, he now spends six hours every day evolving his Sharingan.

If this time were used to strengthen the body, the speed would definitely increase greatly, and then it would naturally take less than seven months.

As for the exact time required...
Thanks to the improvement in his physical aptitude brought about by the previous advancements in 'Ice Release', 'Storm Release', and 'Molten Release', Qingming estimates that he may be able to complete another transformation of his body in less than five months.

If we add the two months until the 'Dust Escape' advances, this timeframe might be even shorter.

Therefore, he naturally wouldn't feel disappointed.

Gathering his thoughts, Qingming stopped thinking about it and focused his mind again to begin cultivating.

······
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

It was late at night.

The northeastern part of the Land of Fire.

In that primeval forest.

When Qingming finished casting the last round of 'Reflecting Heart Technique', he opened the panel.

On it, one could see that the evolution level of his Sharingan had reached (69650/100000), which was less than 400 points away from breaking through (70000/100000).

He no longer intends to actively increase these levels of evolution.

Because they can be gradually improved during his subsequent body strengthening process, and even if they are slightly lacking at the end, they will be made up for in one go during his next body transformation.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to waste any more time and energy on further improvement.

Next, he will, as planned, reallocate the six hours he spends each day practicing the "Reflection of the Heart Technique" to cultivating the "Ultimate Body Technique".

Therefore, it is foreseeable that his speed of strengthening his body will greatly increase in the future.

However, he will need to conduct thorough testing to determine exactly how much it can improve.

So, on the second day, Qingming began to fully unleash the 'Extreme Body Technique' to strengthen his body.

Thus, at the end of the day, he got the answer—with these six hours of added power, his speed of strengthening his body increased by nearly 50%.

Correspondingly, the time required for physical transformation is also greatly reduced.

Originally, he needed another five months for his body to reach the critical point of transformation.

Now, it has become a little over three months.

Based on this calculation, his body will undergo a transformation by mid-July, without having to wait until early September.

Qingming was very pleased with this.

Of course, the increase in speed comes at a price.

Previously, he only needed to invest 3700 million chakra points per day to meet the needs of physical enhancement.

Now, after switching to using "Body Limit" to strengthen his body all day, he needs to invest 5100 million chakra points to meet his needs.

That's right, this consumption was one million points more than his initial estimate of the maximum of 5000 million points.

In this way, even if he can save 300 million chakra points per day after pausing the evolution of the Sharingan, he still needs to add 1100 million chakra points to it in order to count.

This really pained Qingming for a while. Fortunately, he had a surplus of 1836.8 million chakra points every day. Even if he withdrew 1100 million points, he would still have 736.8 million points left, far from being in a situation where he couldn't make ends meet.

Therefore, Qingming only felt heartbroken for a while before ignoring it and turning his attention to 'Dust Escape'.

After two months of passive improvement, its evolution level has reached (4987/5000), and it is only thirteen evolution points away from advancing.

In this way, it will only take two or three days at most for them to successfully advance.

At that time, his aptitude will improve, and the time of his physical transformation will inevitably be brought forward.

Qingming was very much looking forward to this.

With that in mind, Qingming stopped wasting time and, after a short rest, began a new round of cultivation.

And so, two more days passed.

morning.

When Qingming finished another round of cultivation and returned to Moon Island, he deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique,' retrieved all the shadow clones, and absorbed and digested their cultivation experience from the past hour. A strange feeling then emanated from his body.

Without even opening the panel, Qingming knew that his 'Dust Escape' had advanced.

It must be said that the extraordinary power of the ninja world is truly wondrous. Although it was just some training experience, when Qingming truly digested it, it still affected his body, thereby stimulating his physical evolution.

Perhaps this is the wonder of spiritual energy!

After carefully sensing for a while, Qingming opened his eyes and, almost instinctively, raised his hands.

Then, he quickly completed the hand seal, and with a pull of his hands, a transparent cube-shaped barrier the size of a palm appeared between his palms.

As you can see, the barrier is filled with a large amount of Dust Release chakra.

"go with!"

Qingming gave a soft shout and pushed his palms forward.

The next moment, the cube-shaped barrier flew tens of meters away at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and then suddenly expanded into a huge cube with sides of ten meters.

Immediately afterwards, the Dust Release chakra within exploded.

A blinding white light flashed!
The next moment, inside the cube, everything—flowers, trees, soil, rocks, snakes, insects, rats, and ants—was instantly broken down into atomic states, leaving only a huge, angular pit in place.

Qingming showed no surprise at this result.

Because long ago, when he had mastered the 'Dust Release: Particle Style Technique' to perfection, he was already able to control its size at will.

What he mainly experienced was the process of performing the ritual.

Qingming could clearly feel that when he used this technique again, the chakra consumption was reduced and the process was much smoother, as if he had divine assistance.

This is the benefit of bloodline advancement: to unleash greater power with less consumption.

This is also the main way for many bloodline ninjas in the ninja world to improve their strength.

They only need to tap into their own bloodline to surpass the arduous training of an ordinary ninja for a lifetime.

Qingming had nothing to say about this.

After all, the ninja world is a world where bloodline is paramount.

Shaking his head inwardly, Qingming stopped thinking about it and began to carefully sense the changes brought about by this advancement in 'Dust Escape'.

Unlike the bloodline limits of 'Ice Release', 'Storm Release', and 'Lava Release', he can obtain relatively accurate results with almost no testing due to his rich experience.

And what about 'Dust Escape'?

He will need to test and experience it carefully before he can do so.

With that in mind, Qingming stopped wasting time and immediately began a new round of cultivation.
