Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1163 Time flies
On the open ground in the center of Moon Island.

Qingming closed his eyes and carefully reviewed the memories in his mind.

About fifteen minutes later, he opened his eyes again.

Then, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Just as he had guessed an hour earlier, as the number of shadow clones decreased, the chakra within each shadow clone increased, allowing them to conduct more in-depth research and experimentation, and thus increasing the experience points gained by each shadow clone.

Therefore, even though he reduced the number of shadow clones he developed from three hundred to two hundred and fifty.

However, the experience they gained was not much different from what they had an hour ago, and was still about 30% higher than before.

However, it is clear that this is still not the most cost-effective option.

Otherwise, the experience he could gain would have been completely unchanged.

After some thought, Qingming reduced the number of shadow clones he was developing for the Bloodline Limits Network from 250 to 230, and continued to test their speed of gaining experience points.

Soon, another hour passed.

This time, after recovering all the shadow clones, he gained fewer experience points.

However, considering the reduction in chakra consumption, Qingming felt it was well worth it.

But this is still not the best answer.

Therefore, Qingming continued to adjust the number of shadow clones developed from the Bloodline Limit, attempting to find the most cost-effective solution.

And so, several hours passed.

Finally, around noon, he received the correct answer.

Inside the volcano, Qingming stopped his cultivation of 'Body Limit', used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique', and returned to Moon Island.

After waiting a short while for his body to heal itself, he directly deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and retrieved all the shadow clones.

It took Qingming about ten minutes to absorb and digest the cultivation experience of these shadow clones over the past hour.

Then, he let out a long breath.

Finally, after a morning of trying, he found the most cost-effective solution.

That's right, it involves creating two hundred shadow clones to develop the Bloodline Limit.

Thus, on average, each shadow clone contains 150,000 chakra points.

At this point, he can gain approximately 1.2 times the original amount of experience points.

Although it didn't increase the power by 30% compared to the initial 300 shadow clones, the chakra consumed was significantly reduced.

If calculated based on creating 300 shadow clones, he would need to invest 45 million points of chakra into them every day.

However, if two hundred shadow clones are created, only 30 million chakra points need to be invested each day, a difference of 15 million chakra points.

And what are the benefits of these 15 million points of chakra?

It only increases experience by 10%!

This doesn't seem like a good deal at all.
Therefore, Qingming's final decision was to create two hundred shadow clones each time for the development of the Bloodline Limit.

In this way, not only will chakra not be wasted, but a relatively high training efficiency will also be maintained.

Of course, as mentioned before, this number is not fixed.

Afterwards, as his chakra limit increases, he will gradually increase its quantity.

Now, he passively operates the 'Chakra Refining Technique' 24 hours a day, and can obtain 24000 (=1000 * 24) Chakra points per day.

Thus, it only takes a little over six days to accumulate the maximum 150,000 chakra points.

In other words, on average, he can create one more shadow clone every six to seven days.

Therefore, it is conceivable that he will gain experience at an increasingly faster pace.

Moreover, this way, it won't waste chakra. "Hmm, not bad!"

Qingming pondered for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction.

Having made his decision, Qingming wasted no more time. He raised his hands to form a hand seal and once again used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' to begin a new round of cultivation.

And so, time passed day by day.

······
Spring passes and autumn comes.

Before we knew it, it was September.

This evening.

Qingming finished another round of 'Extreme Body' training and returned to Moon Island.

During his recovery period, he checked the progress of his body's enhancement.

As it turned out, his prediction was quite accurate.

It has been about four months and ten days since his body last underwent a transformation.

His body was also nearing the point of transformation.

Qingming estimated that he would be able to attempt a breakthrough in four or five days at most.

So, all in all, it takes about four and a half months.

Just then, four months had passed, and the pressure his mental energy exerted on his body had reached its limit. If it continued, it might cause irreversible damage to his body.

At that time, at best his 'physical constitution' will decline, wasting months or even years of his efforts; at worst, his genes will mutate, causing endless harm.

In short, they're all troublesome matters.

Fortunately, his body is about to undergo a transformation.

When the 'physical constitution' attribute improves, although it cannot completely balance the excessive mental power, it can greatly alleviate the pressure by narrowing the gap with it.

At that time, he will be able to hold on for a little longer.

It can be said that he is now racing against time.

However, despite this, he does not intend to continue cultivating today.

There was no other reason than that today was the last day of another round of arduous training, and he would soon be returning to the village to rest. He did not intend to disrupt his own training plan or prolong the training period.

Therefore, we should wait until the next round of arduous training before discussing breakthroughs.

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

He sensed his body and, after confirming that the damage he had suffered from the harsh environment inside the volcano had been fully healed, he immediately released the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' with a thought.

In an instant, all the shadow clones, both inside and outside the island, disintegrated and vanished.

It is worth mentioning that after more than four months of research, his chakra limit has increased by more than three million points again.

This resulted in him creating twenty more shadow clones, which were used to develop the Bloodline Limit.

Now, all of these shadow clones have disintegrated and disappeared.

A flood of memory information rushed into my mind.

Qingming calmed his mind and first sorted and stored the chakra and natural energy that returned with these memories before he began to browse through them.

With his extraordinary mental strength, he absorbed and digested all these memories in about ten minutes.

Standing there, lost in thought for a while, Qingming came back to his senses.

Afterward, he packed up his equipment and, in a few quick movements, arrived at the shore.

After standing there for a while and admiring the beautiful sunset in the distance, he used 'Wind Release: Wings of Wind' and flew into the sky, heading towards the Land of Fire.

　Sorry I couldn't finish the work at midnight. The company extended overtime. I should be able to work tomorrow. Sorry again!
