Naruto: My Progress in Konoha.

Chapter 999 Advance
Before we knew it, an hour had passed.

Inside the volcano.

Qingming paused his physical enhancements, opened his senses, locked onto the Flying Thunder God mark above the island, and activated the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' with a thought.

The next moment, he was teleported to an open space in the center of the island.

"Whoo~~~"

With a long exhale, Qingming finally recovered after removing the lightning shield from his body.

He then used his mental energy to probe his body and carefully sense the enhancement effects of the past hour.

As it turned out, changing the venue further improved his speed in strengthening his body.

However, a mere hour is clearly insufficient for him to make an accurate prediction about the timing of his body's latest transformation.

Therefore, we must continue!
Thinking this, Qingming glanced at the shadow clones cultivating inside and outside the island, and with a thought, he deactivated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'.

After absorbing the cultivation experience and memories of these shadow clones over the past hour, he began the next round of cultivation in the same way.

And so, time passed by, second by second.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

It’s noon this day.

When Qingming completed the enhancement of his body once again and was teleported to the open space in the center of Moon Island, sensing his progress, he was finally able to make a more accurate judgment on when his body would undergo a transformation based on the results of his cultivation over the past three days.

Qingming estimated that this change of venue would bring forward his physical transformation by about half a month.

In other words, he won't have to wait until mid-October; at the latest, by the end of September, he will be able to complete another physical transformation.

It is now July 14th.

In other words, his body will undergo a transformation in another two and a half months.

And this is not the final result.

After twelve days of training, his 'Wood Release' is about to advance to the next level.

Qingming estimated that he would be able to advance successfully in one or two days at most.

At that time, the time for his physical transformation will be brought forward even further.

Moreover, based on the effects of the previous two upgrades of 'Wood Release', the improvement will not be small.

Qingming was very much looking forward to it.

In addition, this timeframe has actually been postponed.

Originally, according to his prediction, he should have advanced to the next level on the eighth or ninth day after he developed the Storm Release technique, which was the day before yesterday or yesterday.

However, as the evolution of 'Wood Release' increased, the effect of practicing 'Wood Clone Technique' began to weaken significantly, to a greater extent than he had anticipated.

Five days ago, his 'Wood Clone Technique' successfully advanced to level 8, and its effectiveness improved.

Otherwise, even if it takes longer than a day or two, there's no guarantee of advancing.

and also
After such a long period of passive improvement, his 'Ice Release' has evolved to a level close to (900/1000).

Based on his current rate of progress, he should be able to advance successfully in about three weeks, by early August.

At that time, his aptitude will be improved, and the time for his next physical transformation will be brought forward even further.

That's why Qingming said that the end of September was not the final result.

"Inhale...exhale..."

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Qingming collected his thoughts and calmed his mind again.

Then, he opened his ninja tool pouch, took out a few enhanced soldier pills, put them in his mouth, chewed them, and swallowed them.

Soon, a feeling of fullness came over me.

Qingming closed his eyes and rested silently.

It's noon now, and after a morning of cultivation, it's time for him to relax.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, Qingming opened his eyes again.

Without any hesitation, he immediately raised his hands, crossed them to form the character "壬" (Ren), and unleashed the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique".

bang bang bang~
As puffs of chakra smoke exploded, three hundred figures suddenly appeared in the arena.

Looking at these shadow clones, Qingming, as usual, assigned them cultivation goals: 250 to develop Dust Escape and 50 to optimize 'Body Extreme'.

It is worth mentioning that after nearly a month of research, he has some ideas on how to integrate the process of physical enhancement into 'Body Ultimate'.

Next, we need to set aside some time to conduct experiments with the main body and the shadow clone.

If all goes well, he will be able to integrate the two this month, allowing 'Body Limit' to break through its limits and be further enhanced.

With this in mind, Qingming ordered his shadow clones to leave the area.

He then teleported into the volcano and began a new round of cultivation.

······
Before we knew it, it was evening of the second day.

This is the final period of this round of arduous practice.

When Qingming used the 'Wood Clone Technique' once again, stimulated by it, his 'Wood Release' finally accumulated enough evolution points to complete the breakthrough.

With a thought, Qingming opened the proficiency panel.

Above him, his 'Wood Release' evolution level flickered and suddenly became (1/10000)!
Then, Qingming felt a warm sensation throughout his body, as if his life force had become much stronger.

另外
He stretched out his hand, and with just a thought, a verdant vine sprouted from his palm.

Moreover, under his control, the vine moved like a nimble little snake, sometimes stretching out its body to explore its surroundings, and sometimes wrapping around his fingers, acting cute and charming.

In short, it appears to be exceptionally active.

Clearly, after this advancement, his control over 'Wood Release' has improved once again.

Therefore, the difficulty of learning related ninjutsu in the future will definitely decrease by one level.

Of course, these are all things to be discussed later, and not what he was concerned about.

At this stage, his biggest concern is simply how much earlier his body can undergo transformation.

With this thought in mind, Qingming closed his eyes and carefully sensed his body.

Just as he had thought, the impact of his advancement on him was enormous, as the Wood Release technique was so closely intertwined with his physical body.

According to his initial estimate, this advancement will save him at least half a month, almost equal to the increase brought by changing venues.

In other words, his body will reach the critical point of transformation once he waits until mid-September.

And this is only the immediate benefit.

Because the advancement of 'Wood Release' improves his aptitude, after this, the time required for him to strengthen his body will be shorter than before.

It can be said that there are benefits before the 'Constitution' attribute is improved to a certain level.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Qingming glanced at the 'Ice Escape' technique one last time, then turned it off and continued his previous cultivation.

However, it is clearly visible to the naked eye that even with continued practice of the 'Wood Clone Technique,' his 'Wood Release' evolution level has almost stopped changing.

Qingming estimated that even if he mastered the 'Wood Clone Technique' to perfection, he probably wouldn't gain much evolution power.

Qingming had no way to deal with this.

After all, the progress bar for 'Wood Release' has already reached 10,000. If it goes any further, it would be equivalent to upgrading the Sharingan from the three-tomoe Sharingan to the Mangekyou Sharingan level.

Such progress is remarkable and cannot be surpassed by a mere 'Wood Clone Technique'.

Therefore, Qingming doesn't expect to advance further in 'Wood Release' in the short term.

Collecting his thoughts, Qingming quickly completed his daily practice of the 'Wood Clone Technique'.

After that, he packed his equipment and returned to Konoha.

As for the final 'Ultimate Body'.
As usual, we returned to Konoha to continue our training.
