After finishing the summary and making plans for the future, Qingming no longer wasted any time and immediately began his training.
He crossed his hands, forming the 'Ren' seal, and directly activated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.'
Boom~
With a burst of chakra smoke, twelve figures appeared in the field.
Qingming looked at the shadow clones and nodded, then began assigning them training tasks as if it was second nature.
Seven of them were sent far away to practice 'Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere,' 'Wind Release: Wind Bite,' 'Wind Release: Spiraling Shuriken,' 'Water Release: Exploding Water Shockwave,' 'Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique,' 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique,' and 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique,' which were all ninjutsu with a lot of motion.
Three other shadow clones stayed closer to him and focused on practicing 'Wind Release: Vacuum Blade,' 'Spiraling Palm,' and 'Chakra Armor,' which were more subtle ninjutsu.
As for the remaining two clones, one studied 'Chakra Absorption Technique,' and the other focused on 'Shadow Sword Technique.'
As for 'Guarding Seal' and 'Sealing Formation,' they had already completed their training before Qingming's body transformation, so there was no need to assign shadow clones for these.
Looking at the distribution, the only techniques he didn't assign clones to were 'Lightning Release: Thunder Body,' 'Chakra Scalpel,' 'Minor Disease Extraction Technique,' and 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.'
However, to avoid wasting chakra, Qingming only used the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' when his chakra was at a lower level, usually in the evening.
Thus, he didn't need to worry about that for the time being.
This left only 'Lightning Release: Thunder Body' and 'Chakra Scalpel,' along with 'Minor Disease Extraction Technique,' which he couldn't fully focus on.
The former required his own body for training, which was obviously not practical. Given that he was already quite tight on time, with his current training in 'Healing Immortal Technique' and 'Heart Mirror Technique,' he simply didn't have time for it.
Thus, it had to be put off for now.
As for the latter two, once their levels were high enough, they consumed too much chakra for solo training, and their proficiency growth was rather slow.
Therefore, it would be better to wait for an opportunity to train by personally using them to heal injured people, which would be more efficient.
These thoughts flashed in Qingming's mind for a moment. After sending the twelve shadow clones off, he no longer thought too much about it and turned his focus back to his own training.
Over the next few hours, Qingming would call back all the shadow clones every hour or so, spending some time absorbing and digesting their training experiences and memories.
Once he had converted these experiences into the corresponding skill proficiency, he would send out the shadow clones again, effectively resetting their status.
This way, they would continue training from a higher starting point.
With each cycle, the proficiency of his various skills began to increase at a noticeable rate.
...
Three days later, at noon.
After finishing absorbing the training experiences and memories from his shadow clones for the past hour, Qingming opened his eyes but didn't immediately use the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique' again.
His eyes seemed a bit absent-minded, as if he was reflecting on something.
After a moment, he stood up, drawing his long sword with a 'clang' from his waist.
Then, gripping the sword with both hands, he channeled chakra into the blade and swung it.
In the next moment, three sword shadows flashed, leaving three marks in the air.
These were not the illusions created by 'Illusion Sword Technique'—those could only be seen by those affected by the technique. The three sword shadows here were visible to anyone.
Moreover, based on the disturbances in the air, it was clear that these three sword shadows were capable of physical attack.
In fact, that was precisely the case.
It was unclear whether it was because his 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique' had reached a high enough level, providing a solid foundation, or because he had mastered several types of sword techniques to their fullest and integrated them, or perhaps a combination of both factors.
Regardless, in just under three days, he had successfully developed the final sword technique he had been hoping for—Shadow Sword Technique!
"Panel!" Qingming called out in his mind, opening his proficiency panel.
Sure enough, a new skill had appeared—'Shadow Sword Technique: lv0 (30/100)'!
Looking at this skill, Qingming carefully reflected on the understanding he had gained from his shadow clones.
From the results of his test, he knew that once this technique was used, it would produce three sword strikes, all capable of physical attacks.
Thus, when paired with his 'Illusion Sword Technique,' the combination of real and illusionary attacks would definitely create a greater effect than the sum of the parts.
However...
Qingming furrowed his brow and adjusted his mindset. He gripped his sword again and swung it.
Swish~ Swish~ Swish~
Once again, three sword shadows appeared, cutting toward the front.
But Qingming didn't show much joy on his face.
The reason was simple: these three sword shadows were just too rigid.
Even if they were used in conjunction with the 'Illusion Sword Technique,' it would be difficult to bring out a good effect. At best, it could serve as a surprise tactic, but it couldn't be used as a regular sword move.
This clearly didn't align with Qingming's original intention.
Initially, his inspiration for developing this technique came from the 'Three Crescent Moon Dance' technique used by Moonlight Gale. When this technique was used, it could attack the enemy from three different directions. If paired with his 'Illusion Sword Technique,' the effect would undoubtedly be excellent.
However, this technique had one drawback—it required two shadow clones to be deployed beforehand.
For those with lower chakra levels, this wasn't much of a problem since they wouldn't lose much chakra. But for someone like Qingming, with a massive chakra reserve, it felt inefficient.
So, he wanted to develop a similarly flexible technique that consumed less chakra.
But if the 'Shadow Sword Technique' remained this rigid, he would rather practice the 'Three Crescent Moon Dance' despite its high chakra consumption.
Fortunately, this technique was still just a prototype, not even fully learned yet. There was still time to adjust it. Otherwise, he would seriously consider giving up.
As for the possibility of being unable to correct it...
That was simply impossible.
After all, the most difficult part of anything is the beginning!
With this foundation, and with the assistance of the proficiency panel, Qingming was confident he could quickly transform the technique into the form he needed.
So, there was no need to worry.
Thinking this, the frown on Qingming's face finally relaxed, and a smile appeared.
After reflecting for a moment, he no longer thought too much about it, retracted his long sword, and activated the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique,' once again creating twelve shadow clones.
After assigning tasks to them, Qingming continued his own training.
From the information coming from the other three bases, it was clear that such peaceful days wouldn't last much longer. It wouldn't be long before they would be mobilized.
So, he had to make the most of the time he had left to train.
