Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1187 Transformation
This evening.

Inside the volcano.

Qingming closed his eyes tightly, trying his best to digest the cultivation experience contained in his memories.

A large amount of Lava Release chakra dissipated from his body, merging with the surrounding scorching air, and had virtually no impact on the environment inside the cave.

Clearly, the place he specifically chose was perfect for advancing his 'Melting Escape' technique.

Based on previous experience, if the choice is made to be located outside the island, whether on an island or elsewhere, it will inevitably have an impact on the surrounding environment.

Moreover, the impact is mostly negative.

But it's different here.

The environment here is similar in nature to Lava Release chakra, so it can minimize the risk of it getting out of control.

Even if it were to get out of control, the resulting lava could be absorbed by the lava lake below.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about it having any impact on the surrounding environment.

This place can be considered a natural training ground for 'Molten Release'.

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

He continued to concentrate, trying to digest the training experience in his mind while trying his best to control the Lava Release chakra in his body.

And so, time passed by, second by second.

More than half an hour later.

Qingming opened his eyes again.

Looking at the dissipating chakra around him, he had a sudden thought and activated his Byakugan, activating its ability to absorb chakra remotely.

Then, the surrounding Lava Release chakra flowed into his body like a thousand streams into the sea, and in the blink of an eye, the cave was restored to its original state.

Seeing all this, Qingming couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This advancement was really easy!"

Pulling his thoughts back, Qingming stopped thinking about it.

He glanced at his red, blistered skin, and with a thought, he locked onto the Flying Thunder God mark in the open space in the center of Moon Island and activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

The view suddenly shifted.

In an instant, Qingming traveled from the unbearably hot interior of the volcano to the breezy Moon Island.

"Phew, feel good!"

He let out a soft breath and thought to himself that it felt good.

Afterwards, while his body was recovering, he began to examine the changes that this 'Molten Escape' advancement had brought him.

First, there's the time saved by increasing physical strength.

Just like when 'Storm Release' was upgraded three days ago, the time saved in this aspect was shortened again after the upgrade of 'Molten Release', to only about five days.

Qingming had anticipated this, so he wasn't surprised.

Secondly, the transformation time brought about by improved qualifications is reduced.
He also needs to conduct some testing to calculate this part accurately.

With this thought in mind, Qingming waited a while until his body had fully recovered, then immediately used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' to create more than three hundred shadow clones and began a new round of cultivation.

Soon, an hour had passed.

Qingming finished his cultivation and returned to Moon Island.

Taking advantage of his recovery, he carefully sensed the effects of the physical enhancement he had undergone over the past hour.

Unsurprisingly, the efficiency improvement it brought was weakened again, increasing by less than 10% compared to the advanced 'Storm Release'.

Thus, and with his body getting closer and closer to completing its transformation, the time he ultimately saved was only a little over three days.

However, even so, after deducting these three days and the five days saved directly, his body only has about thirty-four days left before it undergoes its transformation.

"A little over a month?"

Qingming pondered for a moment, then directly deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique', retrieved all the shadow clones, and began to absorb and digest their cultivation experience and memories from the past hour.

After completing this step, he immediately began a new round of cultivation. He continued like this until late at night, finally finishing his cultivation and returning to his cabin to rest.

A speechless night!
The next day, he continued his cultivation.

······
Sunrise and sunset.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

It was early April.

It’s noon this day.

Inside the volcano.

After Qingming completed another round of the 'Extreme Body' training, he sensed that he had not made any progress whatsoever.

At this moment, it was as if there was an invisible shackle on him, restricting his growth.

This familiar feeling made Qingming realize that he had reached the critical point of transformation.

From now on, unless he can break through this constraint, all his efforts will be in vain.

Qingming was not surprised by the result, but rather pleased.

He had been waiting for this day for a month!

Without any hesitation, he immediately locked onto the Flying Thunder God mark on the open ground in the center of Moon Island, and with a thought, activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

Back on the ground, Qingming waited a while to allow his body to recover.

Then, he deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and retrieved all the shadow clones.

It took him about ten minutes to absorb and digest all the cultivation experience and memories of these shadow clones.

After completing these tasks, he adjusted his mindset and, once everything was ready, immediately began the work of achieving a breakthrough.

As for the process...
It's the same as always.

First, activate the Rinnegan, then add the Mangekyou Sharingan, and then activate the eye technique—Human Control—to empower oneself and provide direction for one's evolution.

Then, he repeatedly used the modified 'Hand Healing Technique' to gather Yang Release chakra, providing power for cell evolution.

And so, time passed by, second by second.

As evening approached, Qingming suddenly felt a jolt of energy, as if he heard the sound of shattering glass.

He opened his eyes and sensed himself.

As expected, the invisible barrier that had previously restricted his physical growth had disappeared, replaced by ample room for growth.

Without a doubt, he has broken free of his constraints and surpassed the limits of his body.

Next comes the physical transformation.

Qingming closed his eyes again, quietly waiting for the transformation to begin.

He didn't have to wait long; soon, that familiar warm current appeared.

It flowed rapidly along his chakra meridians, and in no time, it flowed throughout his entire body, seeping into every cell of his body.

Then, this warm current began to nourish his body, causing his cells to evolve rapidly.

Gradually, Qingming lost control of his mind, and his consciousness fell into a state of half-dream and half-awake.

In this state, his body underwent a faster transformation.

After an unknown amount of time, Qingming suddenly opened his eyes, as if waking from a dream.

After a moment of stunned silence, Qingming glanced at the time.

At this point, more than forty minutes had passed since he broke his limit.

Qingming sensed himself again and felt incredibly comfortable.

Clearly, his transformation is complete.
