After examining the new abilities unlocked by the evolution of his Byakugan, Seimei cleared his mind, pushing aside distractions to focus on the boost to his base attributes.
He opened his panel, scanning the display before him.
As expected, when his Byakugan's evolution points broke through the (10,000/10,000) threshold and advanced, his "Spirit" attribute had indeed increased by one point.
Now, it had risen from 30 to 31.
Seimei sensed the pressure his spirit exerted on his body.
Just as he'd predicted, after both his "Spirit" and "Constitution" attributes crossed the 30-point mark and underwent qualitative changes, a mere one-point gap was negligible.
He could feel that his spirit and body were still in relative balance.
Confirming this, Seimei let out a long breath of relief.
Then, he focused his mind and began testing how this "Spirit" attribute increase affected his potential—his theoretical chakra limit—and his chakra recovery speed.
Back when his "Spirit" attribute jumped from 29 to 30, his theoretical chakra limit had increased by two million points, and his chakra recovery speed by one million.
Now…
About forty minutes later, Seimei finished his tests.
His conclusion: this "Spirit" attribute boost had increased his theoretical chakra limit by 2.5 million points and his chakra recovery speed by 1.3 million points.
The increase was… well, decent. Not huge, but not small either—just average.
With that, Seimei reined in his thoughts, deciding not to dwell on it.
After a brief rest, he resumed his training.
Per his plan, he still had a minor milestone to hit with his Sharingan today, so there was no time to waste.
Of course, it was still too early to use the "Mind Reflection Technique," so Seimei started by practicing "Body Extreme."
Time ticked by slowly.
Two hours later, the sun began to dip toward the horizon.
Seimei paused his "Body Extreme" training and teleported back to Moon Island.
With a thought, he recalled all his shadow clones, absorbing and processing their training experiences and memories from the past hour.
Then, he used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to teleport to the dense, primeval forest in the northeastern part of the Land of Fire.
Next, he would begin using the "Mind Reflection Technique" to advance his Sharingan's evolution.
This step didn't require the special volcanic environment, so to save his wood clone's chakra from unnecessary travel, he teleported directly to the forest.
Casting the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique," he created five hundred shadow clones.
Seimei sent them off, then sat cross-legged, beginning the "Mind Reflection Technique."
Six hours passed in a flash.
The sun set, and the moon rose.
Before he knew it, it was already deep into the night.
As Seimei completed another cycle of the "Mind Reflection Technique," a sharp pain suddenly stabbed through his eyes. Two streams of blood tears trickled from the corners of his eyes, dripping onto the ground.
At that moment, his Mangekyo Sharingan activated instinctively.
A surge of spiritual pressure radiated from him—or more precisely, from his eyes—spreading rapidly outward.
In an instant, the chirping of insects and birds vanished. Every living creature in the forest seemed frozen, as if someone had hit a pause button, too terrified to move.
Some particularly sensitive insects even perished under the weight of this spiritual force.
Time ticked by.
Seimei strained to rein in the uncontrolled spiritual energy, doing his best to keep his presence contained.
After what felt like an eternity, he succeeded, and the oppressive aura around him dissipated.
"Panel!"
With a thought, Seimei summoned his proficiency panel.
A familiar light blue, semi-transparent panel appeared before him:

Seimei's eyes swept over the panel, and as expected, his "Spirit" attribute had increased again, from 31 to 32.
This time, he finally felt the pressure of his spirit on his body.
But, as predicted, after the qualitative transformation of both his spirit and body, a two-point difference wasn't enough to overwhelm his physical form.
Moving forward, as long as he ensured his "Constitution" attribute caught up before his "Spirit" attribute increased further, narrowing the gap, he wouldn't need to worry about imbalance for a long time.
Focusing his thoughts, Seimei turned his attention to the present.
With this latest boost to his "Spirit" attribute, his theoretical chakra limit and chakra recovery speed had increased again.
He began testing the changes.
Just like in the afternoon, it took about forty minutes to complete both tests.
His conclusion: this "Spirit" increase had boosted his theoretical chakra limit by three million points and his chakra recovery speed by 1.5 million points.
Clearly, this increase was only slightly higher than the afternoon's, which didn't align with his earlier trend of larger gains as base attributes grew.
The reason was simple: his spirit and body were slightly out of sync again, suppressing some of his potential.
As a result, the increase wasn't as impressive as it could've been.
Still, Seimei didn't mind too much.
This suppression was temporary. As long as he didn't let the imbalance persist for too long, once his "Constitution" attribute caught up, the suppression would vanish.
And with it, the full extent of his gains would return.
"Phew…"
Closing the panel, Seimei let out a long breath.
With this, his base attributes were stabilized for now, and they wouldn't change for a while.
This meant he could start planning his next training phase, especially how to allocate his shadow clones.
With his "Spirit" attribute jumping two points in a row and his body undergoing a transformation, he could handle more shadow clones training at high intensity simultaneously.
Naturally, this called for a new plan.
But…
It was already late, so whatever he wanted to do would have to wait until tomorrow.
With that thought, Seimei dispelled the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique," recalling the shadow clones training in the nearby forest.
After absorbing and processing their recent training experiences and memories, he used the "Flying Thunder God Technique" to return to Moon Island.
He quickly washed up, returned to the wooden cabin, and settled in to rest.
Soon, the faint sound of his snoring filled the room.
Clearly, Seimei was exhausted from the day's efforts.
