Chapter 8: The Art of Reflecting the Heart
"panel!"

After returning home, Qingming opened the panel immediately.

A familiar light blue screen appeared:

[Name: Uchiha Qingming

Age: 10 years old

Constitution: 5
Spirit: 7
Chakra: 21 (159 → 189)

Bloodline: Sharingan·Unawakened (51/100)

技能：查克拉提炼术：lv0（53/100）→lv0（98/100）

分身术：lv1（2/200）→lv1（20/200）

变身术：lv0（77/100）→lv1（19/200）

替身术：lv0（71/100）→lv1（18/200）

基础体术：lv1（16/200）→lv1（65/200）

忍具投掷：lv2（10/500）→lv2（42/500）】

It can be seen that in just five days, his strength has improved a lot.

Among them, the chakra upper limit increased by 30 points to 189 points.

This level of chakra may not be a big deal in front of a genius, but compared to his peers, it is already an upper-middle level.

After all, he is only ten years old this year.

For ninjas, the golden period of growth is from twelve to sixteen years old.

Before that, except for some geniuses, there would not be much gap.

But Qingming has gradually widened the gap with his peers, which means that he can also be called a little genius.

Of course, if we only look at chakra, it is somewhat unworthy of its name.

But if you count the lv1 'clone technique', 'transformation technique' and 'substitution technique', as well as the 'basic physical technique', and the Lv2 'ninja tool throwing', then it is truly worthy of the name.

Now, even among the graduates of previous six-year programs, he is considered to be at an upper-middle level.

What's more, there is still half a month before the graduation examination, which is enough time for him to improve his strength further.

By then, even if we go to the battlefield
'Well, it still seems a little unsafe!'

Qing Ming glanced across the panel and suddenly realized that he seemed to be missing a trick.

Coincidentally, his proficiency in the 'Chakra Extraction Technique' has reached level 0 (98/100), and he is about to get started.

After getting started, the effect of restoring chakra will definitely increase.

This way, he would have enough energy to learn a higher level ninjutsu.

As for where ninjutsu came from?

Don't worry about that. There are a few ninjutsu scrolls left in the study of his predecessor's parents. Once he has mastered the 'Chakra Refining Technique' to level 1, he will find one to learn.

And with the existence of the proficiency panel, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to learn it. As long as it does not conflict with his chakra attributes, he can completely grind it to the entry level, or even higher levels.

Qing Ming did it as soon as he thought of it. He closed the panel, took out a soldier pill from the inner room, swallowed it, and then started to run the "Chakra Refining Technique".

One minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes.
Soon, two hours passed.

Suddenly, Qingming opened his eyes, a ray of sharp light flashed across his eyes, and all kinds of insights came to his mind.

At this moment, Qing Ming had a new understanding of the 'Chakra Extraction Technique'.

If the efficiency of lv0's 'Chakra Extraction Technique' in tapping the body's potential is one, then lv1 is two.

In other words, in the same amount of time, he can refine more chakra, which is not only related to his chakra recovery speed, but also to his chakra upper limit.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming closed his eyes again and began to refine chakra according to his new understanding.

About half an hour later, Qingming opened his eyes.

"panel!"

With a thought, Qing Ming summoned the proficiency panel.

[Name: Uchiha Qingming

Age: 10 years old

Constitution: 5
Spirit: 7
查克拉：171（189→192）血脉：写轮眼·未觉醒（51/100）

Skills: Chakra Refining: lv1 (1/200)

Clone Technique: Level 1 (20/200)

Transformation: Level 1 (19/200)

Substitution Technique: Level 1 (18/200)

Basic physical skills: lv1 (65/200)

Ninja Tool Throwing: Level 2 (42/500)]

Just as he expected, in just half an hour, the effect of the level 1 'Chakra Refining Technique' was equivalent to the effect of the level 0 'Chakra Refining Technique' that had been running for an hour.

That is, restore fifty points of chakra and increase the chakra limit by one point.

The only pity is that after the 'Chakra Refining Technique' is upgraded to level 1, it still takes an hour to improve the proficiency a little bit.

In fact, there won't be any additional proficiency gained this time.

After all, the predecessor's 'Chakra Refining Technique' was still at level lv0, otherwise the additional proficiency provided would not be so little.

However, Qingming is already content.

At least after today, the chakra he can use every day will be twice as much as before.

Of course, these energies would not be created for no reason, so he would probably have to increase the amount of his military ration pills in the future.

But these are minor issues.

Anyway, he had bought a lot of military ration pills before, and in order to survive on the battlefield later, he had to temporarily put his stomach at risk.

Collecting his thoughts, Qing Ming stood up and left the room, going straight to the study of his previous life's parents.

Over the past period of time, he was either attending classes at school or practicing at home, and had no extra time to sort out the belongings of his previous parents.

I just took a rough look at the study and knew there were a few ninjutsu scrolls there, but I didn't take a closer look at what they were specifically.

Today was the first time he had carefully read these scrolls.

"Let me see what I have."

Muttering softly, Qing Ming opened the first scroll, which was the Uchiha clan's iconic ninjutsu - Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu.

Specifically, it manifests itself by spitting out a fireball from the mouth, which has the effects of high-temperature burning and explosion. The power depends on the amount of chakra injected. It is a very practical ninjutsu.

The learning difficulty is C, which is enough to serve as a trump card for Genin.

However, Qingming did not make a decision in a hurry. He opened several other scrolls, two of which also recorded ninjutsu, namely Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique and Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique.

Even though they are also C-level, they are more difficult to learn than Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu.

Especially the Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique, which requires the Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique as a foundation, otherwise it will be difficult to learn.

In addition, there are two scrolls, each recording an illusion.

One of them is called the Magical Shackle Technique, which is an illusion that requires the cooperation of the Sharingan to perform.

The specific effect is to construct a spiritual world, conjure up iron nails to nail the opponent's body, making him feel pain and thus lose the ability to move.

The parents of the predecessor did not awaken the Sharingan, and left this scroll, obviously they had high expectations for the predecessor.

Unfortunately, the predecessor did not awaken the Sharingan.

As for the second scroll.
The illusions recorded on it were a bit strange. Qingming had at least heard of the magic technique of "Jag Hang", but he had never even heard of the "Art of Reflecting the Heart".

That’s right, the illusion recorded on the second scroll is exactly an illusion called the Art of Reflecting the Heart.

Qingming unfolded the scroll and read its contents carefully.

As he read deeper, his expression changed again and again.

From the initial indifference, to the subsequent doubt, and then to urgency and anticipation.

After finishing reading, his face was full of relief.

Now.
Of course I was overjoyed.

There is no other reason. This technique of reflecting the mind is likely to solve the dilemma of his Sharingan awakening progress being stagnant.
