Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 1189 Test Predictions and Unexpected Events

However, speculation is just speculation. To get an accurate answer, he needs to take action.

With this in mind, Qingming decided not to waste any more time.

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 looked away and began a new round of training.

Although it was already dark, there was still some time before midnight, and coupled with his recent transformation, he had recovered a great deal.

Therefore, Qingming did not intend to waste the last bit of time today, but instead prepared to continue his cultivation.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

Thanks to his excellent condition, he practiced for more than four hours, until after 1 a.m., before he finally began to rest.

A speechless night!
······
The next day.

Qingming got up early.

Arriving at the stream, he quickly finished washing up, then opened his ninja tool pouch and swallowed a few enhanced soldier rations.

After filling their stomachs, they immediately began a new round of cultivation.

This practice lasted for an entire morning.

By noon, he finally had a more accurate understanding of his latest physical limits.

According to his calculations, if he were to train with all his might, he would need to invest 51000 million chakra points every day in strengthening his body.

Before today, this number was 41000 million points.

In other words, he needs to invest an additional 100 million points of chakra.

This number was slightly less than he had expected, but it still exceeded 9000 million points.

In other words, even more chakra needs to be drawn each day to meet the requirements.

As a result, the time his reserve chakra can sustain him will naturally be reduced.

Although he was mentally prepared for this, he still couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he got the result: "Ah, what a pity!"

Pulling his thoughts back, Qingming stopped thinking about it. Now that his body's endurance had been tested, the next step was to test the time required for his body's transformation.

He is quite looking forward to it.

After quickly consuming a few enhanced soldier pills to replenish the energy he had just used, Qingming raised his hand again to form a hand seal, and used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' twice, creating 425 shadow clones.

That's right, he now needs to create a total of 425 shadow clones.

Of these, 175 are used to absorb natural energy.

Originally, he only needed one hundred and forty shadow clones to meet the requirements.

But now, with an additional 100 million chakra points invested in strengthening his body, 140 shadow clones are no longer enough; he needs a full 175 shadow clones to meet the requirements.

This also increased his daily chakra consumption from 28 points to 35 points, an increase of 7 points.

As for the remaining two hundred and fifty shadow clones...

All of them are used to develop bloodline limits.

This is mainly due to the increase in his chakra limit.

However, with the number increasing by fifteen, the chakra consumed also increased by 225 million points.

如此，他每天的查克拉缺口便从原来的10346.2万点，变成了现在的11578.2（=10364.2+7+225-9000+10000）万点。

"One hundred and fifteen million, seven hundred and eighty-two thousand..."

The number flashed through Qingming's mind, and he quickly pulled himself back to reality.

Although the chakra consumption was higher than before, it wasn't by much and was still within his acceptable range.

Qingming waved his hand, causing all the shadow clones in front of him to leave.

Then, he flashed and activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique,' teleporting directly to the volcano beneath Moon Island to begin a new round of training.

And so, time passed day by day...

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

During this time, Qingming returned to the village to rest for a day. But the remaining six days were enough for him to test the time needed for his body to undergo another transformation.

It was late at night.

Qingming finished his last round of training for the day and opened his eyes.

He sensed the changes within himself and estimated the time required for his body to transform based on the changes over those seven days.

Just as he had predicted a week ago, with the improved aptitude brought about by the advancement of 'Ice Release', 'Storm Release' and 'Molten Release', the difficulty of strengthening his body was greatly reduced.

Thus, coupled with the increased physical endurance, even though this transformation is more difficult, the time required is only slightly longer than the last one.

Last time, he initially calculated that the transformation would take four and a half months.

This time, however, it will take five months.

However, these five months were calculated based on a sufficient supply of chakra.

However, according to his estimate, the chakra he currently has can only last for a maximum of three months.

In other words, three months later, his daily chakra deficit will truly reach more than 100 million points.

When the time comes, if there isn't enough chakra, then naturally there won't be a way to evolve at full speed.

Consequently, the time required to strengthen the body will also increase.

Of course, even so, the time required for his physical transformation may not be longer than five months.

Because in about three months, his 'Dust Escape' will advance to the next level.

Once he advances to the next level, according to his previous estimates, it will save him a considerable amount of time.

Thus, with one increase and one decrease, whether the final transformation will take more than five months remains to be seen.

These thoughts flashed through his mind. Qingming pondered for a while and then stopped thinking about it.

How long his physical transformation will take is completely unimportant.

All he needs to do is follow the steps of cultivation.

As for the rest...

Just let time take its course!

Getting up, Qingming returned to the wooden house in a corner of the island, pushed open the door, went inside, and began to rest.

·····
The next day.

Qingming got up early, tidied himself up quickly, and began his cultivation.

Originally, he thought he could cultivate until his reserve chakra was exhausted, and then adjust his training plan accordingly to complete the final strengthening and successfully transform his body.

However, the development of things is often beyond human control.

His plan was good, but unfortunately, accidents always happen unexpectedly.

It was about two months later.

One morning.

Qingming is cultivating inside the volcano beneath Moon Island.

Suddenly, a memory appeared out of nowhere in his mind.

Qingming was taken aback at first, but without any hesitation, he immediately stopped cultivating and began to browse the memories in his mind.

It should be noted that his cultivation is very regular, the time he retrieves his shadow clones is also fixed, and he is basically the one who takes the initiative to act each time.

In the past, when there were skills that needed to be practiced, there would be shadow clones that made mistakes during the training process, causing themselves to disintegrate and thus syncing their memories over.

But now, he has very few cultivation projects, and it has been a long time since his shadow clones have actively synchronized their memories.

Therefore, there must be an extremely difficult problem.

Otherwise, the other party would not do this at all.

That's why Qingming is so nervous.
