Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 983 Reduction
Inside the volcano.

In that cavity.

Qingming's figure suddenly appeared.

Then, he was seen standing on the stone platform that he had melted with 'Melting Escape' and then reshaped, and began physical training.

Unlike being on the bottom of the sea, because he didn't have to bear such high pressure, the 'Lightning Escape Film' on his body didn't appear thick.

This allowed him to clearly feel the threat in the air.

Affected by this, his body instinctively desired to evolve more quickly.

This instinct was guided by him using 'Human Control', and then the Yang Release Chakra condensed by 'Palm Immortal Technique' served as energy consumption, constantly driving the evolution of his body.

Time passes minute by minute.

Soon, an hour passed.

Qingming paused his practice and felt his own progress.

Not surprisingly, the effect is much stronger than on the seabed.

However, just one hour of training obviously was not enough for him to make an accurate prediction of the transformation node of his body.

Therefore, we have to continue.

Thinking this in his mind, Qingming teleported back to the open space in the center of the island.

Without any delay, he immediately released the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' and retrieved those shadow clones.

It took him a quarter of an hour to absorb and digest the practice experience of these shadow clones over the past hour.

Then, he once again performed the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique', creating 300 shadow clones and began a new round of training.

And so it goes, round after round.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next afternoon.

When Qing Ming completed another hour of physical strengthening and returned to the open space above the island, he finally obtained enough data.

Standing in place, Qing Ming was not in a hurry to retrieve those shadow clones, but carefully sensed the changes in himself over the past day or nearly two days.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

If his guess was correct, the next time his body transformed should be about a month earlier.

In other words, the transformation will be completed by early October.

There is no doubt that this is a huge improvement.

However, Qingming was still not satisfied.

There is no other reason, because this means that he will need more than three months, almost four months, to complete his physical transformation.

It’s a pity that his Sharingan couldn’t evolve at full speed for such a long time.

After pondering for a while, Qingming looked at the ground beneath his feet.

His sight seemed to penetrate layers of obstacles, and he saw the volcanic cavity where he had just practiced, and another cavity below that cavity.

If he could enter that cavity, the harsher external environment there might allow his body to evolve faster.

However, he had just begun to adapt to the environment in the first cavity. It would be unwise to rashly step into the second cavity where the environment was even worse.

As the saying goes, you have to eat your food one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. If you take big steps, you are likely to hurt yourself!
Therefore, it is better to proceed step by step.

Thinking this in his mind, Qing Ming made a plan. He planned to spend one to one and a half months to completely adapt to the environment inside the first cavity.

Then, immediately enter the second cavity to practice.

At that time, he can take advantage of the harsher environment there to further speed up the evolution of his body.

In addition, he can also increase the evolution degree of several other bloodline limits, thereby shortening the time required for physical transformation from another direction.

With this thought, Qing Ming could not help but open the panel and look at the "Wood Release", "Melting Release" and "Ice Release" on it. It can be seen that the "Wood Release" benefited from his daily practice of "Wood Clone Technique", although the subsequent promotion effect was weakened as expected.

However, after more than a week, its evolution degree has increased by about 4000 points, and now it has reached (5000/)!
According to this progress, even if the weakening effect of the subsequent 'Wood Clone Technique' is taken into account, it will only take about 25 days to complete the promotion.

By then, his qualifications will be improved and the difficulty of strengthening his body will be reduced, which will naturally shorten the time required for the next transformation of his body.

However, before that, his 'Melting Escape' might be promoted first.

Originally, after the last transformation, the evolution degree of his 'Lao Shitsu' had reached (920/1000), and he was only one step away from promotion.

At that time, he estimated that it would take two weeks to complete the last step.

However, I never expected that after entering the volcano to practice, the speed actually increased a lot, as if because the environment was too suitable.

Now, only eight or nine days have passed, and it is about to advance.

Qingming estimated that in two or three days at most, his "Melting Escape" would be able to successfully advance.

At that time, he can not only shorten the time required for the next metamorphosis, but also adapt himself to the environment in the first cavity more quickly, so that he can enter the second cavity earlier and evolve his body faster.

This can be said to be mutually reinforcing.

As for 'Ice Escape'.
Although the progress bar has reached more than half, or even close to 70%, after the last physical transformation, it is not so easy to advance smoothly.

Qingming estimated that it would take at least another two months for him to successfully advance.

"Two months."

Qing Ming groaned for a moment, then shook his head, not thinking any more, and instead devoted himself to cultivation.

······
In a flash, it was three days later.

Moon Island.

Inside the volcano.

In the first cavity.

Qingming, who was practicing, suddenly stopped.

He quickly closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body.

Just now, he suddenly realized that his "Melting Escape" had been upgraded.

Calculating the time, excluding the day he went back to the village to rest, today was exactly the third day of his full-scale training. His "Melting Escape" was indeed upgraded within the expected time period.

Not surprisingly, with the advancement of this bloodline limit, his physical qualifications improved again.

After a while, Qingming opened his eyes.

After a brief pause, he began to strengthen his body as before.

And Qingming discovered the difference in this enhancement.

During the whole process, he could clearly feel that the difficulty of strengthening his body had decreased a little.

This means improved efficiency and reduced time.

After testing for a whole afternoon, Qing Ming finally came to the conclusion that with this improvement, the time of his body transformation should be advanced by about ten days.

In other words, his body will complete its transformation by mid-to-late October.

This made Qingming very happy, proving that his guess was correct.

Next, it depends on "Wood Release" and "Ice Release".

With this in mind, Qingming planned to carry out the last training of the day - to evolve the Byakugan by practicing the 'Extreme Body'.

However, as soon as he moved, he immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
