Chapter 114: A Pleasant Surprise

Another week has passed in the blink of an eye. After half a month of back-and-forth, Konoha barely managed to reclaim the two frontline strongholds five days ago.

However, this indirectly highlighted Konoha's vulnerability, as it had taken them so long to do so.

As a result, Sunagakure has recently intensified its infiltration efforts.

During this time, Qingming seized the opportunity to capture two Sunagakure Chūnin, expanding his chakra reserves to 40,000 points.

With an 80% conversion rate, that translates to 32,000 points—5,600 more than the previous total of 26,400 points.

This additional chakra, combined with the 8,800 points he previously allocated to "Fire Release: Phoenix Fire Technique," totaled 14,400 points, which Qingming dedicated entirely to "Illusion Technique: Chains of Enchantment" and "Illusion Technique: Sharingan."

During previous battles, he felt that the proficiency levels of these two illusion techniques were somewhat low and were beginning to lag behind his capabilities.

Thus, he naturally invested these chakra points into advancing these two illusion techniques.

As a result of this significant chakra investment, the effects were immediate.

Previously, he could only gain 10 points of proficiency in these two techniques each day; now, that number has increased to almost 100.

Twenty days ago, "Illusion Technique: Chains of Enchantment" was at level 3 (715/1000), and now it has risen to level 4 (393/2000).

This progress was primarily due to the short investment period; otherwise, the rate of advancement would have been even faster.

As for "Illusion Technique: Sharingan," its proficiency was only level 3 (280/1000) twenty days ago, but it has now reached level 3 (958/1000), putting it on the verge of promotion.

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

Since obtaining the knowledge about the condensation, differentiation, and manipulation of chakra threads from Heisha a week ago, he had applied it to his training in "Chakra Control."

What can one say?

It is truly remarkable—the puppet secret techniques inherited from the second Kazekage, Shamon.

Originally, as the enhancement from his double tomoe Sharingan faded, his training progress in "Chakra Control" had begun to slow down.

However, by applying the knowledge gained from Heisha to his training in "Chakra Control," his progress picked up speed again, even faster than before.

Now, he was gaining about 15 points of proficiency per day.

In just one week, its proficiency had risen to level 3 (915/1000), with promotion likely to occur within the next five or six days.

Additionally, there was the "Mind Reflection Technique."

After nearly twenty days of practice, it has also reached the verge of promotion, currently at level 5 (4932/5000), meaning it was likely to advance today.

As a result, his Sharingan's evolution level has significantly increased.

Qingming opened his panel and glanced over it; he saw that the evolution level of his Sharingan had reached "Double Tomoe (1772/5000)."

In twenty days, he had gained nearly a thousand points of proficiency, a rate of increase far surpassing the initial one.

And this wasn't the limit. Once he leveled up "Mind Reflection Technique" to level 6, that rate would further improve.

Thinking of this, Qingming promptly closed the panel and began a new round of training.

However, he didn't practice "Mind Reflection Technique" directly; instead, he first worked on "Illusion Technique: Sharingan."

This technique was just 42 points away from promotion, and Qingming planned to elevate it to level 4 first.

A quarter of an hour later.

After casting "Illusion Technique: Sharingan" for the forty-second time, a flash of insight emerged in his mind, leading to a further understanding of this technique.

This time, not only did the speed of hand seals and the power of the illusion enhance, but he could also perform more intricate maneuvers with this technique.

For instance, he could now read memories.

That's right—reading memories.

Now, he could use "Illusion Technique: Sharingan" at the moment his target let their guard down, causing them to involuntarily recall specific scenes, thereby achieving a memory-reading effect.

However, this function was only marginally useful for him at present.

He simply couldn't make use of it right now.

If it had been a week ago, he might have been thrilled, especially since he was struggling to extract the puppet secret techniques from Qianye and Heisha.

If he could directly read their memories, there would have been no need to coerce Heisha into cooperation; he could simply extract the relevant knowledge from their minds.

Now that his objective had been achieved, reading memories was no longer necessary.

"Forget it! Having it is better than not having it."

With a sigh, Qingming decided not to dwell on it any longer and instead focused on practicing "Mind Reflection Technique."

This technique was only 68 points away from promotion, and he was very eager to see the effects once it reached level 6.

Time passed steadily.

Before long, an hour had gone by.

After yet another application of "Mind Reflection Technique," Qingming felt a sense of clarity in his mind, a fresh insight flooding in.

Without needing to open the panel, he instinctively knew that his "Mind Reflection Technique" had leveled up.

But that wasn't the main highlight; the main point was that his "Spirit" attribute had actually increased by one.

Indeed, his "Spirit" attribute had suddenly risen from 11 to 12 alongside "Mind Reflection Technique" reaching level 6 (1/10000).

Moments later, Qingming opened his eyes, a glimmer of surprise flashing in them, quickly followed by confusion.

Previously, he had thought that only the "Physique" attribute would increase as other skills leveled up, but he had not anticipated that the "Spirit" attribute could do the same.

"What led me to develop such a fixed mindset?"

Qingming pondered.

Before long, the answer surfaced in his mind: perhaps it was because his "Spirit" attribute had always been ahead.

He had consistently focused on how to make his "Physique" attribute catch up with his "Spirit," forgetting that long-term rigorous training would also accumulate spiritual foundation.

This time, it was the promotion of "Mind Reflection Technique" that had triggered this foundation, resulting in the increase of his "Spirit" attribute from 11.

This increase of one point in his "Spirit" attribute would also provide an opportunity for his stagnant chakra limit to rise once again.

Unfortunately, due to his relatively low "Physique" attribute, this point in the "Spirit" attribute would only increase his chakra limit by around 4,000 points.

At present, his chakra limit was 14,500 points, and after this increase, it would likely reach around 18,000 to 19,000 points.

This was already close to the level of two cards.

As for his chakra recovery rate, it had previously been at 10,000 points, but now it should increase by 2,000 points, reaching a level of 12,000 points.

In other words, he would have an additional 2,000 chakra points available for use each day.

As for how to utilize this, that would have to wait until he tested the effects of level 6 "Mind Reflection Technique."

With that thought in mind, Qingming composed himself and raised his hands once more to cast "Mind Reflection Technique."

The next moment, a strong sensation of stimulation surged through him.

The special chakra generated in Qingming's mind surged dramatically, transforming from a trickle into a rushing river in an instant.

Once all this chakra poured into his eyes, Qingming felt as if his Sharingan had received a powerful boost, evolving rapidly.

One minute later, the effect of "Mind Reflection Technique" faded.

Qingming opened his panel to check the evolution level of his Sharingan.

In just one glance, he was stunned.

It turned out that his Sharingan's evolution level had directly increased by one point.

In other words, with level 6 "Mind Reflection Technique," each point of proficiency gained could elevate his Sharingan's evolution by one point.

This speed was simply incredible!
