Chapter 114: Surprise

Another week passed by in a flash. After half a month of stalemate, Konoha finally managed to recapture those two frontline strongholds five days ago. However, this also indirectly revealed Konoha's weakness, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long. As a result, Sunagakure has recently stepped up its infiltration efforts. Even Seimei found an opportunity to capture two Sunagakure Chunin alive, expanding his Chakra battery pack to 40,000 points. With an 80% conversion rate, that's 32,000 points, 5,600 points more than the previous 26,400 points. This extra Chakra, plus the 8,800 points of Chakra previously allocated to the 'Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique', totaling 14,400 points of Chakra, was all allocated by Seimei to the 'Magic: Gaka Hang Technique' and 'Genjutsu: Sharingan'. During the previous battle, he felt that the levels of these two genjutsu were a bit low and could hardly keep up with his pace. Therefore, naturally, this Chakra was used by him for the cultivation of these two genjutsu. And with the investment of a large amount of Chakra, the effect was immediate. Previously, these two genjutsu could only gain ten proficiency points per day, but now, it has become almost one hundred points. Therefore, twenty days ago, his 'Magic: Gaka Hang Technique' was only lv3 (715/1000), and now it has become lv4 (393/2000). This is still due to the short investment time, otherwise the progress would be even faster. There is also the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan'. Its proficiency twenty days ago was only lv3 (280/1000), and now it has reached lv3 (958/1000), basically on the verge of promotion. Speaking of promotion, Seimei couldn't help but think of the 'Chakra Control' skill. Since getting the knowledge about Chakra thread condensation, differentiation, and control from Black Sand a week ago, he has applied it to the practice of 'Chakra Control'. How should I put it? It is indeed a puppet secret technique inherited from the Second Kazekage, Shamon, the ancestor of puppeteers, and its effect is outstanding. Originally, with the disappearance of the double tomoe Sharingan's blessing, the progress of his 'Chakra Control' cultivation had slowed down. But as he applied the knowledge he got from Black Sand to the practice of 'Chakra Control', its speed increased again, even faster than before. Now, there is almost fifteen proficiency points per day. Therefore, in just one week, its proficiency has reached lv3 (915/1000), and it is only five or six days away from promotion. In addition, there is also the 'Reflecting Heart Technique'. After nearly twenty days of practice, it has also reached the edge of promotion, and now the proficiency has reached lv5 (4932/5000), basically today there will be a promotion. Thanks to this, the evolution of his Sharingan has also been greatly improved. Seimei opened the panel and glanced at it, and saw that in the bloodline column, the evolution of Sharingan had already reached 'Double Tomoe (1772/5000)'. In twenty days, the proficiency increased by nearly a thousand points, this speed is much faster than the initial one. And this is not the limit, when he raises the 'Reflecting Heart Technique' to lv6, this speed will be further improved. Thinking of this, Seimei immediately closed the panel and started a new round of training. However, he did not directly practice the 'Reflecting Heart Technique', but first started to practice the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan'. This technique is only forty-two proficiency points away from promotion, and Seimei intends to upgrade it to lv4 first. ... A quarter of an hour later. When Seimei cast the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan' for the forty-second time, a flash of enlightenment emerged in his mind, making his understanding of this technique rise to a new level. This time, it was not only the improvement of the hand seal speed and the power of the genjutsu, but he could also use this technique to complete some more refined operations. For example, reading memories. That's right, it's reading memories. Now, he can take advantage of the moment when the target's mind is lost, and cast the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan' to make the target involuntarily recall some specific pictures, so as to achieve an effect similar to reading memories. However, this function can only be said to be better than nothing for him now. Nothing else, he just can't use it now. If it was a week ago, he might still be excited for a while, after all, he was worried about how to obtain the puppet secret technique from Chinatsu and Black Sand at that time. If he could read memories directly, there would be no need to force Black Sand to cooperate, just dig out relevant knowledge from his mind. Now, his goal has been achieved, and there is no need to read memories anymore. "Forget it! It's better to have it than not to have it." With a sigh, Seimei stopped thinking about it and turned to practice the 'Reflecting Heart Technique'. This technique is still sixty-eight proficiency points away from promotion, and Seimei is very much looking forward to its effect after being promoted to lv6. ... Time passed by every minute and every second. In the blink of an eye, an hour passed. After casting the 'Reflecting Heart Technique' again, Seimei only felt his mind clear, and a new understanding surged into his heart. Without opening the panel, Seimei knew that his 'Reflecting Heart Technique' had been upgraded. But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that his 'Spirit' attribute has actually increased by one point. That's right, his 'Spirit' attribute, along with the 'Reflecting Heart Technique' rising to lv6 (1/10000), suddenly increased by one point, from 11 to 12. A moment later, Seimei opened his eyes, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then came doubts. Before, he only thought that the 'Physique' attribute would increase with the upgrade of other skills, but he never thought that the 'Spirit' attribute could also. 'What made me have this fixed mindset?' Seimei pondered in his heart. Soon, he had the answer in his mind, perhaps because his 'Spirit' attribute has always been in the leading position. And he has always been thinking about how to make the 'Physique' attribute catch up with the 'Spirit', but he forgot that long-term hard training will also accumulate spiritual foundation. And this time, it was the promotion of the 'Reflecting Heart Technique' that leveraged this foundation, which allowed his 'Spirit' attribute to increase by one point on the basis of 11 points. And this point of 'Spirit' attribute improvement will also give him the opportunity to increase his Chakra limit again, which has been stagnant for several days. Unfortunately, limited by the low 'Physique' attribute, this spiritual attribute can only increase his Chakra limit by about four thousand points at most. Now, his Chakra limit is 14,500 points, and after this time, it will almost reach 18,000 to 19,000 points. This is close to the level of two cards. There is also the Chakra recovery amount, which 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 an extra 2,000 Chakra points available for use every day in the future. As for where to use it, he has to test the effect of lv6's 'Reflecting Heart Technique' before talking about it. With this in mind, Seimei calmed down and raised his hands again to perform the 'Reflecting Heart Technique'. The next moment, a strong sense of stimulation came. The special Chakra generated in Seimei's brain due to it soared rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it changed from a trickle before to a rolling river now. After all these Chakras poured into his eyes, Seimei only felt that his Sharingan seemed to have obtained some kind of panacea, and evolved rapidly. One minute later, the effect of 'Reflecting Heart Technique' disappeared. Seimei opened the panel to check the evolution of Sharingan. At just one glance, he was stunned. Nothing else, the evolution of his Sharingan has actually increased by one point. In other words, every point of proficiency improvement of lv6's 'Reflecting Heart Technique' can promote his Sharingan to improve one point of evolution. This speed is simply amazing!
