Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1185 Reduction
Gathering his thoughts, Qingming refocused his attention on himself.

Just now, he only sensed the changes in his abilities after the advancement of 'Ice Release'.

And now...
Then we need to examine the other changes it has brought to him.

First and foremost, naturally, is the improvement of qualifications.

Just like when he advanced in 'Wood Release', this time his advancement in 'Ice Release' has also significantly improved his aptitude.

In terms of physical health, this means that strengthening his body has become much easier.

In this way, he can naturally complete his physical transformation in less time, which is equivalent to saving some time.

However, he will need to test it to find out exactly how much time it can save.

In addition to the improvement in his aptitude, the advancement of 'Ice Release' also significantly increased his physical strength, which is equivalent to directly accelerating the progress of his physical enhancement.

This also saved him some time.

He could calculate these times without testing.

Qingming closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes in his body before and after advancing in 'Ice Escape'.

Subsequently, based on the experience of strengthening the body over the past month, the time required to transform these changes into normal training was calculated.

Finally, he concluded—half a month!

That's right, it will take half a month.

In other words, it directly saved him half a month of time.

This is a few days less than the twenty days he saved when he advanced his 'Wood Release' technique.

Qingming could understand this.

After all, with 'Wood Release' already established, the effect of 'Ice Release' being upgraded again will naturally be slightly weaker.

Furthermore, not only will the time saved by directly accelerating the physical enhancement process be shortened, but the resulting acceleration of cultivation due to the improvement in aptitude will also be less effective.

With this in mind, Qingming directly unleashed the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and began a new round of cultivation.

bang bang bang~
He created 381 shadow clones in succession.

Of these, 140 are shadow clones that absorb natural energy, while the remaining 241 are shadow clones that develop bloodline limits.

That's right. After more than a month of digging, his chakra limit has increased by more than 900,000 points again.

This increased the number of shadow clones he created through developing the Bloodline Limit by six, bringing the total to 241 from the original 235.

As a result, his 'Storm Release', 'Molten Release', and 'Dust Release' will all evolve at an accelerated pace.

However, this is not his main focus for the time being.

Seeing all the shadow clones leave, Qingming had a thought and directly locked onto the Flying Thunder God mark in the fifth cavity, activating the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

The view suddenly shifted.

Qingming returned to the familiar lava cave once again.

Standing on the central circular platform, he skillfully entered 'Sage Mode' and began to strengthen his body.

Now, he is more focused on improving his cultivation speed!
Inside the cave, he used the "Extreme Body Technique" again and again, and Qingming could clearly feel that his body strengthening efficiency was much higher.

However, a few minutes were not enough for him to accurately test the changes brought about by the improvement in his qualifications.

So he calmed down and continued his cultivation.

······
Time passes minute by minute.

Soon, an hour passed.

Qingming returned to Moon Island.

During his recovery, he took a moment to examine his body.

After an hour of practice, he was able to accurately calculate the changes that this improvement in his aptitude had brought him.

Based on his own experience, he now feels that his efficiency in enhancing his body has increased by about 20% compared to before.

At this rate, he can save about twenty days from completing his physical transformation.

Although this reduction was slightly less than the one-month decrease after advancing to the next level of 'Wood Release', it was still roughly within his expected range.

Therefore, Qingming was not too disappointed. In addition, according to the initial estimate, it would take him about four and a half months to complete his physical transformation.

He had already been cultivating for a month, and he still needed three and a half months.

The advancement of his 'Ice Release' technique increased his physical strength, saving him another half month, making it three months in total.

Now, with the increased efficiency of his cultivation, he has saved about twenty days of time.

In this way, he only needs a little over two months to complete the transformation of his body.

In this way, he would be even less likely to be disappointed.

Most importantly, this is not the final result.

At the current pace, his 'Storm Release' will advance in about half a month, and then his 'Molten Release' will also advance in about three days.

At that time, they will also shorten the time it takes for his body to transform.

Qingming was very much looking forward to it.

After sensing the changes in his body for a while, he turned his gaze to the shadow clones scattered across the island, who were attempting to fuse the seven chakra nature transformations.

Perfect timing! Now that his body has recovered, it's time to recall these shadow clones.

So, with a thought, he directly deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

In an instant, all the shadow clones on the island who were developing bloodline limits disintegrated and vanished.

Along with it, the 140 shadow clones that had been absorbing natural energy near that spatial node in the Land of Fields also vanished.

A large amount of memory information, chakra, and natural energy flowed into the body.

Qingming quickly closed his eyes and, as usual, first categorized and stored the chakra and natural energy before browsing the memories in his mind, absorbing and digesting the cultivation experience contained therein.

Time passes minute by minute.

About ten minutes later.

He opened his eyes again.

After a short rest, Qingming swallowed several enhanced soldier ration pills to replenish the energy he had just consumed before starting a new round of training.

And so, he once again immersed himself in cultivation.

······
Before I knew it, another half month had passed.

This morning.

After finishing a round of cultivation, Qingming teleported out of the volcano. He was about to deactivate the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' as usual, retrieve all the shadow clones, and absorb and digest their cultivation experience and memories from the past hour.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he opened the proficiency panel and immediately stopped when he saw the 'Storm Release' that was about to be upgraded.

Last time, when he advanced his 'Ice Release' technique, he wreaked havoc on Moon Island. To this day, apart from trees and a few insects, there are no other creatures on it.

He doesn't want to go through that again.

So, let's go somewhere else!
With this thought in mind, Qingming glanced around.

Then, with a flash, he arrived at a vast, empty sea in the distance within a few breaths.

"This place is nice!"

Qingming nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at the wooden clone in the distant sky, which was still diligently patrolling the surroundings, before lightly touching the sea with its toes.

The next moment, he poured a large amount of Ice Release chakra into the seawater.

Then, a layer of ice crystals appeared.

Then, at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, it covered an area of ​​several hundred meters in radius.

Qingming stood on the ice, jumped a few times to make sure there were no problems, and then immediately sat cross-legged and deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

Instantly, a flood of memories rushed into my mind.

Along with it came a large amount of chakra and natural energy.

Qingming skillfully categorized and stored the chakra and natural energy before beginning to browse the memories in his mind.
