Clang! Clang!
In the small town stronghold, approximately two kilometers southwest, amidst a dense forest, Qingming was engaged in a fierce battle with Furukawa, wielding a short blade.
The sound of kunai clashing with the short sword rang out sharply as they exchanged blows, both displaying impressive skill.
This marked the eleventh day since they were assigned to the rotation mission.
Over the past ten days, their team had encountered no significant dangers. Most skirmishes with the enemy were minor, hardly worth mentioning.
Qingming could clearly sense that the ninjas from the Iwagakure stronghold to the north were exhibiting remarkable restraint.
In fact, one could even describe them as cowardly.
These ninjas hardly engaged with them, primarily performing reconnaissance tasks. The moment they spotted the Konoha ninjas, they would retreat immediately.
Qingming surmised that this behavior stemmed from their concern over Konoha's retaliation.
After all, following two incidents, Konoha would undoubtedly retaliate.
In such a situation, their main focus was likely on preventing a surprise attack from Konoha, which explained their cautious demeanor on the front lines.
Qingming welcomed this, as engaging in a bloody fight was pointless. They could utilize this time and energy to improve their skills instead!
Just like now, under Furukawa's tutelage, his "Konoha-style Sword Technique" was making rapid progress, nearing a breakthrough to level 3.
After another ten minutes, Furukawa halted his attack, sheathed his kunai, and stepped back, creating distance. Looking at Qingming, he said, "Alright, let's call it a day."
"Thank you for your guidance, teacher."
Qingming responded with a slight bow of gratitude.
"Mm."
Furukawa nodded, continuing, "Your swordsmanship has nearly reached its current limit. To break through this bottleneck, you'll need to refine your skills for a while longer."
Upon hearing this, Qingming opened his panel and took a glance—Konoha-style Sword Technique: lv2 (497/500)!
Under these circumstances, he only needed to practice a few more times to accumulate the three points of proficiency required for his "Konoha-style Sword Technique" to reach lv3.
'Bottleneck? Not at all!'
Despite thinking this, Qingming kept a composed demeanor, responding, "Yes, teacher, I understand."
He then began practicing on his own.
Nearby, Ryo and Mizutani Shizuko had intended to rest a while longer, but seeing Qingming's diligence, they also stood up and resumed their training.
Witnessing this scene, Furukawa smiled in silence.
He knew that while Ryo and Mizutani Shizuko possessed talent above average, they certainly did not reach the level of genius.
However, due to Qingming's presence, these two trained diligently, elevating their skills at a pace rivaling some talented ninjas.
In just over four months since their graduation, their strength had reached that of some Chunin.
This was the power of a role model.
An hour later, as evening approached, Qingming suddenly paused his sword practice. He sheathed his sword, closed his eyes, and silently sensed the changes within his body.
Just moments ago, his "Konoha-style Sword Technique" had finally accumulated the three points of proficiency needed to ascend from lv2 (497/500) to lv3 (1/1000).
Simultaneously, a warm flow surged from deep within his bones, quickly spreading through his veins and meridians, nourishing every cell in his body.
This sensation was familiar to Qingming; he had experienced it when his "Basic Taijutsu" had progressed from lv1 to lv2, resulting in a boost in his physical attributes.
Now, with this phenomenon reoccurring, it was clear that his physical attributes were set to improve again.
Moments later, the warm flow subsided.
When Qingming checked his panel, he confirmed that his physical attribute had increased from seven points to eight points.
With this, he felt a sense of liberation, as if a constraint had been lifted.
Qingming was certain that if he activated his "Chakra Refinement Technique" at this moment, his chakra limit would surely increase. This was a result of his body breaking free from restrictions and unlocking its potential.
Initially, Qingming had thought he would have to wait until his Sharingan evolved again.
To his surprise, the "Konoha-style Sword Technique" had brought him unexpected joy.
However, upon reflection, it made sense. The "Konoha-style Sword Technique" inherently contained elements of physical enhancement. Since the "Basic Taijutsu" could guide bodily evolution, there was no reason the higher-level "Konoha-style Sword Technique" couldn't do the same.
Of course, it must be noted that the primary force driving his bodily evolution was the foundation he had painstakingly built over time.
Whether through "Basic Taijutsu" or "Konoha-style Sword Technique," these were merely catalysts.
If he wished to continue improving in the future, he would have to maintain his rigorous training.
Moreover, with this breakthrough, the evolution speed of his Sharingan should be further accelerated.
However, whether this was as he expected would require careful testing.
While Qingming was deep in thought, Furukawa suddenly appeared and said, "Alright, it's getting late. We should head back."
At this, Qingming and the others tidied up and followed Furukawa back to the town.
That night, in his room,
Qingming sat cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation, refining his chakra.
After a long while, he opened his eyes and checked his panel.
As he had surmised, with his physical attribute breakthrough, his bodily potential had once again increased, and his capacity for chakra had risen correspondingly.
After a long absence, he once more witnessed the rapid growth of his chakra limit.
Yet, even with this alone, it wouldn't enhance the evolution speed of his Sharingan.
As long as his daily usable chakra limit remained unchanged, the evolution speed of his Sharingan would not improve.
Now, it depended on whether the physical attribute increase from seven to eight points could allow him to break through the 3,500 chakra limit.
With this thought in mind, Qingming closed his eyes again.
Three days later,
After a series of tests, Qingming confirmed that his physical attribute breakthrough from seven to eight points had indeed shattered his previous limit of 3,500 chakra.
Now, that number had risen to 4,200.
Though it was only a 700-point increase, it translated to four additional proficiency points for his "Mind Eye Technique."
And since five proficiency points could advance the evolution degree of his Sharingan by one, it meant he would now gain an extra four proficiency points every five days. This increase was significant.
This was only the most direct benefit.
As his physical attribute improved, his body would be able to endure longer sessions of "Chakra Refinement Technique" daily.
Thus, under the same conditions, his "Chakra Refinement Technique" would surely advance to lv4 more quickly.
When that happened, the amount of chakra he could utilize each day would further increase, subsequently speeding up the evolution of his Sharingan.
This is what it meant to advance swiftly; one step forward leads to another.
As long as Qingming performed excellently at every stage, he could maximize the acceleration of his Sharingan's evolution.
