Chapter 114 Surprise
In a blink of an eye, another week has passed.

After half a month of tug of war, Konoha finally managed to recapture the two frontline strongholds five days ago.

But this also shows the weakness of Konoha from the side, otherwise it would not have taken so long.

Therefore, the Sand Village has recently stepped up its infiltration efforts.

Even Qingming found an opportunity to capture two Sand Village Chunins alive and expanded his chakra battery pack to 40,000 points.

Based on an 80% conversion rate, that would be points, which is points more than the previous points.

These extra chakras, plus the 8,800 chakras previously allocated to 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique', totaling 14,400 chakras, were all allocated by Qingming to 'Magic: Kaguya Technique' and 'Illusion: Sharingan'.

During the previous battle, he felt that the level of these two illusions was a bit low and could hardly keep up with his pace.

So, naturally, he used these chakras to practice these two illusion techniques.

And with the investment of a large amount of chakra, the effect is immediate.

Before, the proficiency of these two illusions could only be improved by ten points every day, but now, it has become almost one hundred points.

是以，二十天前，他的‘魔幻·枷杭之术’还只是lv3（715/1000），现在就变成了lv4（393/2000）。

This is because the time invested is still short, otherwise the progress will be even faster.

There is also the 'Genjutsu Sharingan'.
其在二十天前的熟练度仅为lv3（280/1000），现在则已经达到了lv3（958/1000），基本已经到了晋级的边缘。

Speaking of promotion, Qingming couldn't help but think of the skill of 'Chakra Control'.

Ever since he got the knowledge about the condensation, differentiation and manipulation of chakra threads from Kurosaki a week ago, he has used it in the practice of 'Chakra Control'.

What to say?

As expected of a puppetry secret technique inherited from the Second Kazekage, Shamon, the forefather of puppeteers, its effect is truly outstanding.

Originally, as the blessing of the double magatama Sharingan lost its effect, his progress in practicing 'chakra control' had slowed down.

But as he applied the knowledge he got from Kurosaki to the practice of 'Chakra Control', his speed became faster again, even faster than before.

Now, I gain about fifteen points of proficiency every day.

Therefore, in just one week, his proficiency has reached level 3 (915/1000), and the next level is only a matter of five or six days.

In addition, there is also the 'Art of Reflecting the Heart'.
After nearly twenty days of practice, he is on the verge of promotion. Now his proficiency has reached lv5 (4932/5000), and he will basically be promoted today.

Thanks to this, the evolution of his Sharingan was greatly improved.

Qingming opened the panel and took a look, and saw in the bloodline column that the Sharingan's evolution degree had reached 'Double Magatama (1772/5000)'.

After twenty days of effort, my proficiency increased by nearly a thousand points. This speed is much faster than the initial speed.

And this is not the limit. Once he masters the 'Art of Reflecting the Heart' to level 6, the speed will be further improved.

Do it as soon as you think of it. Qing Ming immediately closed the panel and started a new round of practice.

However, he did not practice the 'Mind-Reflecting Technique' directly, but first worked on the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan'.

This technique is only 4 points away from being able to advance to the next level. Qingming plans to upgrade it to level first.

······
A quarter of an hour later.

When Qingming performed the 'Illusion·Sharingan' for the forty-second time, a hint of enlightenment emerged in his mind, which made his understanding of this technique rise to a higher level.

This time, not only the speed of sealing and the power of illusion were improved, he could also use this technique to complete some more delicate operations.

For example, reading memory.

That's right, it's reading memory.

Now, he can take advantage of the moment when the target loses his concentration and cast the 'Illusion - Sharingan', causing the target to involuntarily recall certain specific images, thus achieving an effect similar to reading memory.

However, for him now, this function is better than nothing.

It’s simple, he just can’t use it now.

If it was a week ago, he might have been excited for a while, after all, he was worried about how to get the puppet secrets from Qianye and Heisha. If he could read the memory directly, then there would be no need to force Heisha to cooperate, he could just dig out the relevant knowledge from his mind.

Now, his goal has been achieved, and there is no need to read the memory anymore.

"Never mind! Something is better than nothing."

With a low sigh, Qing Ming stopped thinking about it and turned to practice the "Art of Reflecting the Heart".

This technique is only 6 points away from being promoted to the next level. Qingming is looking forward to its effect after it is promoted to level .

······
Time passes minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

After performing the 'Art of Reflecting the Heart' once again, Qingming felt his mind become clear, and new insights surged in his heart.

Without opening the panel, Qingming knew that his 'Art of Reflecting the Heart' had been upgraded.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that his "spiritual" attribute has actually improved a little.

That's right, his 'Spirit' attribute suddenly increased a little from 6 to 1 as the 'Mind-Reflecting Technique' was upgraded to level 10000 (11/12).

After a moment, Qing Ming opened his eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but was followed by confusion.

Before, he only thought that the 'Physique' attribute would increase with the upgrade of other skills, but he never thought that the 'Spirit' attribute would also increase.

'What is it that has given me this fixed mindset?'

Qingming pondered in his heart.

Soon, the answer came to his mind, perhaps because his 'spiritual' attribute has always been in the leading position.

He had always been thinking about how to make the 'physique' attribute catch up with the 'spiritual' attribute, but he forgot that long-term hard practice would also accumulate spiritual foundation.

This time, it was the advancement of the 'Art of Reflecting the Heart' that leveraged these foundations, which allowed his 'Spirit' attribute to increase a little on the basis of 11 points.

This improvement in his 'spiritual' attribute would also give him the opportunity to increase his chakra limit, which had been stagnant for several days.

Unfortunately, due to the limitation of his lower 'physique' attribute, this mental attribute can only increase his chakra limit by about 4,000 points at most.

Currently, his chakra limit is 14500 points. After this time, it will be around 18000~19000 points.

This is close to the two-card level.

There is also the chakra recovery amount. It was 10,000 points before, and this time it should be able to increase by 2,000 points, reaching the level of 12,000.

In other words, he will have two thousand more chakras to use every day.

As for where to use it, he would have to test the effect of the lv6 "Art of Reflecting the Heart" first.

With this thought, Qing Ming calmed down, raised his hands again, and performed the "Art of Reflecting the Heart".

The next moment, a strong sense of stimulation came.

The special chakra produced in Qingming's brain rose sharply. In the blink of an eye, it changed from a trickle to a long river.

After all the chakras poured into his eyes, Qingming felt that his Sharingan seemed to have obtained some kind of tonic pill and was evolving rapidly.

After one minute, the effect of the 'Heart-Reflecting Technique' disappeared.

Qing Ming opened the panel and checked the degree of evolution of the Sharingan.

Just one glance and he was stunned.

It's nothing, the evolution degree of his Sharingan actually increased a little.

In other words, every increase in proficiency in the lv6 "Mind-Reflecting Technique" can prompt his Sharingan to evolve a little bit.

This speed is simply incredible!
