Two hours later.
The sun had completely set, and a bright moon rose in the eastern sky.
In a secluded part of the forest, Qing Ming slowly opened his eyes.
Opening his panel, he checked his chakra reserves.
In two hours, the combined effects of his active use of the Chakra Refinement Technique and his passive natural recovery had allowed him to gain over 25,000 chakra points.
With his previously remaining reserves, he now had more than enough to complete today's scheduled practice for the Wind Release: Wings of Wind.
Wasting no time, Qing Ming immediately performed the Shadow Clone Jutsu, creating a clone specifically for this technique's training.
Watching the shadow clone flap its wings and disappear into the distance, Qing Ming shifted his attention back and resumed his practice of the Palm Sage Jutsu and Heart Reflection Technique.
After these days of consistent training, Qing Ming could clearly feel his body getting stronger.
Based on earlier projections, he estimated that in about a month, his body would undergo another transformation.
This would be a critical step in raising his Physique attribute from 19 to 20, a leap that promised changes far beyond what he'd experienced before.
Qing Ming was eagerly anticipating this breakthrough.
As for his Mangekyo Sharingan, its progress bar had already surpassed 15,000/50,000, with the 20,000/50,000 milestone not far away.
Reaching this point wouldn't just extend his usage time for his eye techniques, Heavenly Dominion and Human Dominion.
If prior changes at the 10,000/50,000 milestone were anything to go by, Qing Ming believed that achieving 20,000/50,000 could potentially push his Susanoo into its second stage.
At that level, his Susanoo would gain muscle tissue, veins, and a chakra-formed outer shell.
Not only would its defensive capabilities be greatly enhanced, but it would also unlock the Yasaka Magatama, a ranged attack technique commonly associated with Susanoo.
This jutsu, comparable to an A-rank technique in power, was definitely something to look forward to.
Admittedly, for now, Qing Ming wouldn't rely on Susanoo frequently, but as a trump card, the stronger it was, the better.
These thoughts flashed through his mind as he quickly calmed his emotions and returned to practicing the Palm Sage Jutsu and Heart Reflection Technique.
Time ticked by, minute by minute.
About an hour later, the shadow clone sent to train the Wind Release: Wings of Wind returned.
Qing Ming looked at the approaching clone and noticed that, instead of losing chakra, it had actually gained some.
His gaze shifted to the direction the clone had flown from, and Qing Ming had a faint idea of what had happened.
Raising his hand, he dispelled the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Poof!
With a burst of chakra smoke, the clone vanished.
Simultaneously, a flood of training experience and memories from the clone poured into Qing Ming's mind.
Temporarily setting aside the training insights, he browsed through the clone's memories.
As expected, the clone hadn't just trained—it had also gone "farming."
Taking advantage of the night, it had silently ambushed a patrol squad of four Mist ninja stationed at Yuzumi Port, draining all their chakra.
That explained why the clone's chakra reserves had increased rather than decreased.
Seeing this, Qing Ming shook his head and thought, As expected of my clone—it really does think like me.
Earlier, Qing Ming had considered using Mist ninja as a supplementary source for the extra chakra needed to develop the Shadow Sword Technique. It seemed his clone had acted on this thought without hesitation.
Well, this worked out—it saved him the trouble of doing it himself.
As for whether it would attract attention from the Mist...
Don't be ridiculous!
This was a battlefield—losing a few people wasn't a big deal, especially when they were just unnamed lower-ranking shinobi. There was no reason for the Mist higher-ups to make a fuss.
At most, they'd increase security.
And retaliation?
Even less likely!
The Mist was still struggling to rebuild their chain of command for this battlefield and had no time or resources for counterattacks.
In fact, they were more worried about the Leaf taking further action.
Thus, targeting one or two lower-ranking Mist ninja wasn't going to cause an uproar.
With this thought, Qing Ming decided that the local Mist ninja might have to endure some hardship.
Of course, this was a concern for later.
For now, Qing Ming's immediate priority was to absorb and process the training experience brought back by his shadow clone.
Resolving himself, Qing Ming closed his eyes again.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Qing Ming reopened his eyes.
He glanced at the panel and saw that the proficiency for Wind Release: Wings of Wind had increased by over 70 points, though it was still shy of reaching level 6.
Not wasting time, Qing Ming formed seals again, performing another Shadow Clone Jutsu to create two clones this time.
Yes, two.
One was tasked with continuing the practice of Wind Release: Wings of Wind.
The other was assigned to study the Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu, laying the groundwork for the future development of the Shadow Sword Technique.
Now that he had a supplementary source of chakra, he decided to put the previously postponed plan back on the agenda.
Watching the two clones leave, Qing Ming closed his eyes once more and continued practicing the Palm Sage Jutsu and Heart Reflection Technique.
Time passed by in silence.
With the panel's steady increase in skill proficiency, Qing Ming didn't feel even a hint of boredom.
On the contrary, the repetitive practice made time fly by.
In the blink of an eye, another hour had passed.
This time, the shadow clone tasked with practicing Wind Release: Wings of Wind returned again.
However, it hadn't gone "farming" this time.
Indeed, while the Mist higher-ups might not care about the deaths of one or two lower-ranking ninja, repeated incidents would be a direct provocation.
Such actions would undoubtedly trigger investigations and draw attention.
Given his current chakra deficit, Qing Ming knew he only needed to "farm" once every one or two days to make up the gap—there was no need to unnecessarily provoke the Mist.
With these thoughts, Qing Ming quickly calmed his mind and focused on absorbing the clone's training experience and memories from the past hour.
For now, his training continued smoothly.
Today's session ended here.
