Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1181 Promotion (Bonus Chapter)
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qingming stopped thinking about it.

He glanced one last time at the 'Chakra Refining Technique' at the bottom of the panel, and seeing that its proficiency was still steadily increasing, he turned his attention back to the basic attributes section.

He had already summarized the gains of the past few months.

Next, it's time to test the changes brought about by this 'Constitution' attribute boost.

First, there's the increase in the theoretical maximum chakra limit.

"Inhale...exhale..."

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Qingming calmed himself down and then began to fully utilize the 'Chakra Refining Technique' to tap into his own potential.

This time, he dug for a full hour before stopping.

Then, Qingming closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes in his body over the past hour. He then compared the increase in his chakra limit on the panel and estimated the potential improvement this time.

After a few minutes, he came to a conclusion.

According to his estimate, this upgrade in his 'physique' attribute increased his theoretical chakra limit by approximately 110 million points.

That's right, it's 110 million points, which is 30 million more than the previous 80 million points.

This increase is clearly beyond the norm.

The reason for this is actually quite simple: his body and mind gradually reached a balance, causing some of his previously suppressed potential to be released.

This will naturally allow his potential to grow beyond expectations.

Furthermore, Qingming could foresee that as his 'physical' attribute continued to lean towards his 'spiritual' attribute, such extraordinary improvements would continue to occur.

Qingming had no complaints about this.

At the same time, this also makes him even more eager for the improvement in chakra recovery speed.

With this thought in mind, he immediately began testing the speed of chakra recovery.

He first paused the operation of the 'Chakra Refining Technique' to keep his condition stable.

Then, he opened the panel and silently waited for his body to naturally recover its chakra while observing the changes in 'chakra' on the panel.

Time passes minute by minute.

Soon, ten minutes passed.

Qingming stopped observing.

At this moment, his 'Chakra' increased by 2120833 points.

Ten minutes is 2120833 points, one hour is 12724998 points, and a day of twenty-four hours is 305400000 points.

Previously, this number was only 245400000 points.

In other words, this upgrade in his 'physique' attribute increased his natural chakra recovery speed by 6000 million points.

This increase is 4000 million points more than the previous 2000 million points.

Clearly, this is also a result of some of his potential being unleashed.

Qingming was very pleased with this.

With these 6000 million points of usable chakra, his daily chakra surplus finally turned from negative to positive.

Of course, this is only temporary.

As his body completes its transformation and his endurance increases, he will need to invest more chakra if he wants to cultivate at full speed.

Thus, the remaining chakra will naturally become negative again.

However, in any case, the extra 60 million chakra points greatly relieved his pressure.

Next, it depends on how much chakra he needs to use for the follow-up attack. If he can use less, then his reserve chakra can last longer.

Otherwise, we can only hold on for about half a year.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Qingming took out a few enhanced soldier pills from his ninja tool pouch, swallowed them to replenish the energy he had just consumed, rested for a while, and then began a new round of training.

With a raised hand, he instantly unleashed the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

bang bang bang~
As puffs of chakra smoke dissipated, a hundred shadow clones appeared in the arena.

Since it's not yet clear how much his body's endurance has increased, he first created one hundred shadow clones to absorb natural energy, just like before.

After creating a wooden clone and packing up the shadow clones to take away, he raised his hand again to form a hand seal and once again used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

This time, he created 235 shadow clones.

Qingming waved his hand, letting these shadow clones continue developing their bloodline limits.

Watching the shadow clones leave, he replenished his chakra, and then, with a thought, activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' and teleported into the volcano.

Standing in the somewhat cramped fourth cavity, he mobilized the natural energy within the alternate dimension of his abdomen, instantly fusing it into a sufficient amount of Sage Chakra, and immediately entered 'Sage Mode'.

After that, Qingming immediately began to strengthen his body without saying a word.

He unleashed the 'Ultimate Body Technique' again and again, and without the obstruction of that invisible shackle, he once again felt his body improve.

However, he stopped after only a dozen minutes of practice.

There's no other reason than that, although his speed of strengthening his body has improved, compared to his previous experience after improving his 'physique', this speed is still somewhat below expectations.

Immediately, Qingming carefully sensed himself, recalling the entire process of strengthening his body, trying to find the problem.

However, after sensing everything, he found nothing wrong.

Wait ~
Suddenly, Qingming seemed to remember something, abruptly withdrawing his spiritual power that had been probing into her body, and instead looked up at her surroundings.

Then, he closed his eyes again, carefully sensing the high temperature and high pressure in the surrounding air.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes and murmured, "Just as I thought!"

Just now, he suddenly realized that what was affecting the speed of his physical enhancement was not only his own condition, but also the severity of the surrounding environment.

If the harsh external environment fails to exert enough pressure on him and effectively stimulate his body to evolve, it will inevitably lead to an overall decrease in the speed of body enhancement.

Since he himself is not the problem, the problem must be external.

Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.

In his perception, although the high temperature and high pressure in the surrounding air did not change much, the pressure it exerted on him had decreased significantly, as if it had crossed a certain critical point.

This naturally leads to his body strengthening speed falling short of expectations.

The reason he didn't think of this immediately was because, in the past, each time he changed his training location, it could support his body to undergo at least four to five, or even six or seven, transformations.

Now, since he ventured into this cavity, his body has only undergone three transformations, and it's already too late.

No wonder he didn't think of it immediately!

The reason why it only lasted three times this time was because the improvement brought by each transformation was greater as the body progressed.

Therefore, considering that during these three transformations there was also a qualitative leap in the 'Constitution' attribute, which increased from 39 points to 40 points, it's quite normal that it only lasted for three transformations in the end.

Now that the problem has been identified, the next step is to solve it.

The solution is simple: find new lava caves.

This step was not difficult for him.

Thinking this, Qingming immediately activated his Byakugan and looked down.

　Sorry, this update is a bit late.
