Chapter 49 An unexpected surprise
Ding Ding Dang Dang~
About two kilometers southwest of the town’s outpost, in a dense forest, Qingming was fighting with Guchuan with a short blade in his hand.

The kunai and the dagger kept colliding, making crisp sounds of collision. The two of them fought back and forth, it was very intense.

This is already the eleventh day that they have come here to carry out their rotation mission.

Over the past ten days, they had not encountered any serious danger. Even though they had fought several battles with the enemy, they were all minor skirmishes that were not worth mentioning at all.

Qingming could clearly feel that the ninjas in the Iwagakure stronghold further north who were confronting them were being very restrained.

It can even be described as cowardly.

These people did not bother with them at all, and the tasks they performed were mainly surveillance. Once they were discovered by them, they would evacuate immediately.

Qingming guessed that the reason for this was that the other party was worried about Konoha's revenge.

After all, Konoha will definitely fight back after causing trouble twice.

In this situation, their main focus should be on preventing Konoha's surprise attack, so the front line is so restrained.

Qingming was happy to see this happen. What was the point of fighting to the death? It would be better to use that time and energy to practice well!

Just like now, under the sparring of Furukawa, his 'Konoha-style swordsmanship' has improved rapidly and is about to break through level 2.

Ten minutes later, Furukawa stopped attacking, put away his kunai, retreated, and looked at Qingming, saying, "Okay, let's stop here today."

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher."

Upon hearing this, Qing Ming bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

"Ah."

Furukawa nodded and continued, "Your swordsmanship has almost reached its current limit. If you want to break through the current bottleneck, you need to work hard on it for a while."

Hearing this, Qingming opened the panel and took a look - Konoha Style Swordsmanship: lv2 (497/500)!
In this case, he only needs to practice seriously a few more times and accumulate three points of proficiency, and his "Konoha Style Swordsmanship" will be able to break through the current limit and reach level 3.

'bottleneck?'

'nonexistent!'

However, although he thought so in his heart, Qingming did not show it on his face, but echoed: "Yes, teacher, I understand."

After saying that, he started practicing on his own.

On the side, Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko were originally planning to rest for a while, but after seeing Qingming's hard work, they no longer rested, and immediately stood up and continued their practice.

Seeing this scene, Furukawa smiled without saying anything.

He knew the talents of Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko. Although they were slightly better than ordinary people, they were definitely not at the level of geniuses.

But because of Qingming's existence, the two of them practiced very hard, and the speed at which their strength improved was no less than that of some talented ninjas.

Just over four months after graduation, their strength had reached the level of some Chunins.

That's the power of example.

······
after an hour.

It's approaching evening.

Qingming, who was practicing sword, suddenly paused. Then he put away his sword, stood up, closed his eyes, and silently felt the changes in his body.

就在刚才，他的‘木叶流剑术’终于积攒够了三点熟练度，从lv2（497/500）晋升到了lv3（1/1000）。

At the same time, a warm current emerged from deep in his bone marrow, quickly flowed through his blood vessels and meridians, and nourished every cell in his body.

Qingming was not unfamiliar with this feeling. He had felt it once when his 'basic physical skills' were upgraded from lv1 to lv2, which led to the growth of his physical attributes.

Now, this situation reappeared, and it was obvious that his physical attributes were about to be improved again.

After a moment, the warm current disappeared.

Qingming opened the panel and took a glance. As expected, his physical attribute changed from 7 points to 8 points. Then, he felt a sense of relief as if his shackles had been opened.

Qing Ming is certain that if he practices the 'Chakra Extraction Technique' at this time, his chakra limit will definitely be increased. This is the result of breaking through the shackles of the body and increasing his potential.

Originally, Qingming thought that he had to wait until the Sharingan evolved again.

Unexpectedly, the 'Konoha Style Sword Technique' gave him an unexpected surprise.

However, think about it, 'Konoha-style swordsmanship' originally contains the element of 'body building'. Since 'basic physical skills' can lead to the evolution of the body, there is no reason why the higher level 'Konoha-style swordsmanship' cannot do the same.

Of course, as I said before, the main force that drives his physical evolution is the foundation accumulated from his long-term hard practice.

Whether it is 'Basic Physical Skills' or 'Konoha Style Swordsmanship', it is just an introduction.

If you want to continue to improve in the future, you must practice hard.

In addition, with this breakthrough, the evolution speed of his Sharingan should be able to speed up a bit.

However, whether it is as he expected still needs to be tested in detail.

Just as Qingming was deep in thought, Guchuan suddenly appeared on the scene and said, "Okay, it's almost time, we should go back."

Upon hearing this, Qingming and the others packed up and followed Guchuan back to the town.

······
That night.

inside the room.

Qingming sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated, refining his chakra.

After a long time, Qingming opened his eyes, opened the panel and took a look.

Just as he expected, with the breakthrough in his physical attributes, his physical potential increased again, and the amount of chakra he could contain also increased.

After a long time, he saw the scene of the chakra limit increasing rapidly again.

If that were the case, it would not be possible to speed up the evolution of his Sharingan.

Because as long as the amount of chakra he can mobilize every day does not increase, the evolution speed of the Sharingan cannot be improved.

Now it all depends on whether his physical attribute can be increased from seven points to eight points, which will allow the maximum amount of chakra he can mobilize daily to break through the thirty-five hundred point mark.

With this thought in mind, Qingming closed his eyes again.

······
three days later.

After a series of tests, Qing Ming was able to confirm that the breakthrough in his physical attribute from seven points to eight points had indeed allowed him to break the limit of only being able to use a maximum of three thousand five hundred points of chakra per day.

Now, the number has increased from three thousand five to four thousand two.

Even though it's only a 700-point improvement, when used in the 'Art of Reflecting the Heart', it translates into 4 points of proficiency.

And five points of proficiency can increase the evolution of his Sharingan by one point.

In other words, his Sharingan will gain four points of proficiency every five days from now on, which is already a significant improvement.

And this is just the most direct increase.

As his physical attributes improve, the amount of time his body can withstand running the 'Chakra Refining Technique' every day will also increase.

In this way, under the same conditions, his 'Chakra Refining Technique' will inevitably be promoted to level 4 at a faster speed.

At that time, the amount of chakra that can be mobilized daily will increase further, and along with it the speed of the Sharingan's evolution will increase.

This is the so-called quick step, step by step.

As long as Qingming does his best in every aspect, he will be able to speed up the evolution of the Sharingan to the greatest extent.
