A myriad of thoughts flashed through Qingming's mind as he quickly gathered his focus and resumed using the "Palm Immortal Technique" to strengthen his body.
The jump from 19 to 20 in the "Physical" attribute was a significant threshold. Based on previous experience, overcoming such a threshold would bring about a tremendous improvement.
Therefore, Qingming was eager to push his body to its limits, using the power of "Human's Will" to break through.
However, this was clearly not something that could be accomplished in an instant.
Soon, time passed and it was deep into the night. Qingming finished his training for the day and returned to the Black Stone Base.
The next morning, he hurriedly left again to continue the training from the previous day.
And so, days passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was early November. Six days had passed since Qingming's "Palm Immortal Technique" had reached its perfected stage.
At this moment, sitting by the campfire, Qingming opened his eyes.
He could clearly sense that his body had reached a certain limit. No matter how much he continued to use "Palm Immortal Technique," it no longer seemed to push any further.
For a typical ninja, at this stage, they would have no choice but to wait for their body to develop on its own, slowly progressing through time.
In fact, if their innate talent was lacking, they might remain stuck at this stage, their potential effectively locked in place.
Why is this the case?
It's simple—ninja potential is determined by the amount of chakra they have. Ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu—everything is just a technique to channel that power.
These techniques are all built upon the foundation of chakra.
The stronger the chakra, the greater the power these techniques can unleash.
Otherwise, they are merely decorations.
And a person's chakra amount is closely linked to their physical development. Once the body stops growing, the chakra stops increasing.
Thus, Qingming said that when a person's body stops improving, their upper limit is essentially locked in.
For most ninja, this happens when they are about twenty years old.
After this point, their apparent improvement is not from actual growth, but simply from refining techniques, getting closer to their theoretical maximum.
However, Qingming was different. As long as he found the right methods, with the proficiency panel and the support of "Human's Will," his physical attributes could continue growing.
In other words, there was no upper limit for him.
Just like now, his body seemed to have reached its peak, but he could use "Human's Will" to forcibly break through, unlocking new potential.
After glancing at his shadow clones training nearby in the forest, Qingming focused and dispelled the "Shadow Clone Technique."
In an instant, all the shadow clones disappeared.
At the same time, Qingming's mind was flooded with many training experiences and memories.
Closing his eyes, Qingming quickly processed these experiences, converting them into proficiency for the corresponding skills.
Once this was done, he took a short rest before suddenly activating his Mangekyō Sharingan.
A stream of blood poured from his right eye.
The power of "Human's Will" was now activated!
As this formless, intangible power was applied to his body, Qingming felt a tremendous improvement in his control over his own physical form.
Without wasting any time, Qingming immediately formed seals and began using "Palm Immortal Technique," focusing his will to guide his body's evolution.
Soon, more than twenty seconds passed, and the duration of "Human's Will" was nearing its limit.
He stopped using the technique.
Feeling his body, Qingming noticed that the invisible shackles restricting his physical growth were still there.
After a brief rest, he activated "Human's Will" again and continued using "Palm Immortal Technique" to strengthen his body.
Once, twice, three times...
In no time, Qingming had used "Palm Immortal Technique" ten times, and had also used "Human's Will" ten times.
When he finally felt his right eye becoming blurry, the invisible shackles restricting his body's growth vanished, and what followed was an overwhelming sense of relief.
The accumulation of power from the repeated use of "Palm Immortal Technique" erupted all at once, surging through his body, pushing it to evolve.
Crack~
The forest was quiet.
Only the occasional crackle of flames burning the wood could be heard.
Qingming, eyes closed, carefully sensed the changes in his body.
Since the transformation began, he had stopped consciously guiding the process, allowing his body to evolve naturally.
While this might not highlight any specific strength, it would prevent any significant weaknesses from arising.
For ordinary people, this would be considered mediocre. But for someone like Qingming, who could continuously evolve and improve, this was a comprehensive development.
Time passed, second by second.
After about half an hour, Qingming opened his eyes.
At that moment, it felt as though a heavy suit of armor had been shed from his body, leaving him light and free. It seemed as though his growth limit had been lifted.
And then...
Qingming touched the center of his forehead, where he had transplanted the Byakugan. It seemed that the transplant had undergone some changes during this transformation.
"Panel!"
He thought, and the proficiency panel opened before him.
In an instant, the familiar light blue screen appeared.

Ignoring the other information on the panel, Qingming immediately focused on the bloodline section.
He noticed that his Byakugan's awakening progress had nearly doubled, from (16/100) to (30/100).
When he had first transplanted it, he had tried to increase its progress, and he had used "Human's Will" five times to help with that, each time directing it to merge with his body.
Now, despite having used "Human's Will" ten times, his goal was to break through his body's limits, not focus on the Byakugan.
This improvement had little to do with "Human's Will."
Thus, the only remaining possibility was that his transformation had caused an increase in the Byakugan's awakening.
After thinking about it, Qingming felt that this was quite likely.
Every transformation was a process of breaking through his limits and evolving.
During this process, he had intentionally refrained from interfering, allowing his body to naturally integrate the Byakugan.
This gradual integration was the reason for the progress.
This also brought him some benefits.
With a thought, Qingming raised his hand and unsealed the "Protective Seal" on his forehead.
Immediately, he focused and activated his Byakugan.
At once, everything within a kilometer radius appeared in his sight.
However, Qingming only glanced quickly and then stopped focusing on it.
Now, his attention was entirely on the chakra consumption.
If he was correct, as his Byakugan's awakening progress increased, the chakra required to maintain it should decrease.
Time passed, second by second.
A moment later, Qingming deactivated his Byakugan.
Just as he had predicted, the chakra consumption for activating his Byakugan had indeed decreased significantly.
Although this small amount of chakra was not a big deal for him, it was a promising start.
This meant that his body was accepting the Byakugan, and the relevant genes within him were being activated.
It could be anticipated that once the Byakugan fully integrated into his body and completely awakened, he would be able to use it just like a true member of the Hyūga clan.
Without a doubt, this was great news.
In addition to this, the other improvements from his transformation were substantial, especially in his physical capabilities.
