Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Continuous Advancement
"Suck~~~ Breathe~~~"
Qingming took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Once his mind was calm again, he began tonight's main event—practicing 'Palm Sage Technique.'
Why was this the highlight of the evening?
The reason was simple: after more than three days of practice, his 'Palm Sage Technique' was on the verge of advancing.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would achieve a new level tonight.
Qingming had long anticipated the strengthening effect that the Yang Release chakra condensed by the level 6 'Palm Sage Technique' would have on his body.
Thus, he regarded it as the highlight of the night.
Gathering his thoughts, Qingming quickly formed hand seals with both hands and activated the 'Palm Sage Technique,' skillfully restraining the Yang Release chakra within his body.
Next, he directed the chakra through his chakra pathways, allowing it to seep into every cell of his body and commence the strengthening process.
Time ticked by, minute by minute.
Before long, three minutes had passed.
The chakra dissipated, and Qingming formed seals once more to activate the 'Palm Sage Technique,' repeating the earlier actions.
So it continued, every three minutes he would use the 'Palm Sage Technique' to enhance his proficiency while also strengthening his body with the condensed Yang Release chakra.
Although the process felt a bit monotonous, Qingming found it entirely bearable.
There were two reasons for this. First, with each use, he gained corresponding proficiency, deepening his understanding of the 'Palm Sage Technique.'
Thus, it did not feel like mere repetition.
The second reason was that the process of strengthening his body was immensely pleasurable, making it hard to stop. Even the repetitive act of using ninjutsu was tolerable.
······
"Hmm~ So comfortable~"
Unbeknownst to him, the time had already slipped into the deep of night.
Inside the training room, Qingming once again used the 'Palm Sage Technique.' Instantly, an even purer wave of Yang Release chakra surged into every cell of his body, prompting a soft moan from him.
Three minutes later, Qingming opened his eyes, reflecting on the various insights that had just arisen in his mind, confirming that his 'Palm Sage Technique' had indeed leveled up.
That recent surge of exceptionally pure Yang Release chakra was the condensed energy of the level 6 'Palm Sage Technique.' Its strengthening effect on the body was at least doubled.
Qingming estimated that within a month at most, his 'Physique' attribute would undergo its second transformation.
By then, the gap between it and the 'Spirit' attribute would further narrow, unleashing more potential.
At that point, both his chakra ceiling and recovery speed would see a significant boost.
Thinking about this, Qingming couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement.
However, he quickly quelled that feeling.
"There's still a month; no need to rush!"
With this thought in mind, Qingming resumed his training plan, continuing with the level 6 'Palm Sage Technique.'
He only stopped to rest after exhausting the planned allocation of forty thousand chakra points later that night.
······
Time flew, and four hours passed.
Qingming awakened from his sleep, shaking his head to clear his mind, and quickly made his way to the depths of the base.
After checking on the status of the captives and confirming everything was fine, he sent out a shadow clone to keep watch and returned to the outpost.
Thus, a new day began.
That afternoon, during his break, Qingming resumed his practice of 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.'
Not far away, three of his Chūnin subordinates were also training.
At a certain moment, Qingming suddenly performed the hand seals for 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique' with nearly instantaneous speed.
The power of the released fireball was noticeably stronger than usual.
With a loud "Boom!", the massive tree in front of him was completely engulfed in flames, startling the nearby Chūnin.
When they looked over, Qingming had already closed his eyes, lost in thought, recalling the insights that had just flashed through his mind.
After a moment, he reopened his eyes and murmured, "So this is the perfected state of 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique'?"
Raising his right hand, he didn't need to try it out himself to know that he could now perform this technique using only one hand.
Just like with the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Fire Technique,' after reaching the perfected state and with sufficient chakra control, such operations were now feasible.
"Captain, what's up? What was that just now?"
As Qingming sank into contemplation, his three subordinates approached him with questions.
Hearing this, Qingming snapped back to reality, shook his head, and replied, "Nothing much, just a little progress."
"A little progress?"
The three of them looked at the nearly charred tree in the distance, confusion written all over their faces.
Qingming didn't want them to pry further, so he quickly made up an excuse and sent them away, returning to practice the 'Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique.'
As soon as he started, he sensed a difference.
Previously, his proficiency had grown at a rate of "+1 +1," but now it fluctuated between "+1 +2."
Clearly, this was an increase due to the promotion of 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique' to perfection.
"Perhaps the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Fire Technique' also contributed."
Qingming shook his head, no longer dwelling on it, and focused on his training.
In truth, his 'Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique' and 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique' had been quite similar in terms of proficiency.
Now, with this boost, his 'Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique' was set to complete its upgrade ahead of schedule.
Moreover, just like 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique,' he could now perform it with a single hand.
With this, Qingming had perfected all three Fire Release techniques he had mastered.
Every day, the one thousand chakra points he saved, Qingming planned to split into two parts. Five thousand would be dedicated to practicing 'Wind Release: Great Breakthrough,' to further accelerate its proficiency.
The remaining five thousand would be used to practice 'Wind Release: Wind Blade.'
Although his 'Wind Release: Great Breakthrough' hadn't reached the perfected level of lv5 (0/0) yet and might not provide much enhancement to 'Wind Release: Wind Blade,' the learning difficulty for 'Wind Release: Wind Blade' was significantly higher than that of 'Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.'
Thus, even with the added bonus, it wouldn't be too substantial.
Qingming could accept this slight loss.
Moreover, with the additional five thousand chakra points, it would take no more than five days for his 'Wind Release: Great Breakthrough' to reach perfection.
By then, the bonus would be restored without causing too much delay.
In that case, there was no need for further hesitation.
After over half an hour, Qingming completed the day's practice of 'Wind Release: Great Breakthrough,' raising its proficiency by sixty-five points.
After a short break, he called over his three subordinates and, under the pretext of sparring, began to improve his 'Swordsmanship' proficiency.
Due to the lack of enemies lately, his 'Swordsmanship' proficiency had grown slower than anticipated.
According to his original plan, it should have advanced to lv6 today, but now it seemed it might have to wait until tomorrow.
Of course, this was still thanks to having practice partners; otherwise, the timeline would be pushed back even further.
Naturally, those who practiced with him also benefitted; with Qingming's current swordsmanship, anyone who learned even a little would gain immensely.
Even those who didn't use swords would greatly enhance their combat experience.
So, whenever Qingming invited them, no one refused.
This ensured his 'Swordsmanship' continued to progress steadily.
