After a brief moment to adjust, Seimei shifted his focus from the boost in his Physical attribute to the Chakra section of his proficiency panel.
As he'd been digging into his potential for over four months, his chakra capacity had surged by nearly a million points, jumping from just over 5.7 million to 6.7 million points.
This meant his explosive power and peak combat strength had grown even stronger.
Well… not that there were many people left worth going all-out against. Still, it never hurt to be prepared, right?
Beyond the chakra capacity boost, his Bloodline Limits had also made significant strides over these months—particularly Lava Release, Ice Release, and Storm Release.
All three had crossed the (4000/5000) mark in evolution points.
The lowest, Lava Release, sat at (4210/5000), while the highest, Ice Release, had reached (4650/5000), just a step away from advancing.
Why had they progressed so quickly? Two reasons:
First, this latest bodily transformation had granted an extra 200-300 evolution points to each.
Second, he'd increased the number of Shadow Clones working on developing the Bloodline Network. As these clones worked on fusing the seven chakra nature transformations, they passively boosted the evolution points of these Bloodline Limits.
Based on the past four months, Seimei estimated it would take as little as two months or as long as four for these three Bloodline Limits to advance.
When that happened, the boost to his physical potential alone would shave off a chunk of time needed for future body enhancements.
Seimei was looking forward to it.
Besides those three, his Wood Release had also improved significantly. Its evolution points had reached (2420/10000), crossing a fifth of the progress bar and nearing a quarter.
As for his only Bloodline Elimination, Dust Release, it had passed the (3000/5000) threshold, reaching (3500/5000), inching closer to its next stage.
As for his Sharingan and Byakugan…
The Sharingan, as usual, only gained a passive trickle of evolution points, plus about 200 from this bodily transformation. It was still far from the next milestone.
The Byakugan, starting from (9500/100000), had gained another 200 or so points, reaching (9710/100000). It was now close to breaking through the (10000/100000) minor milestone.
Seimei had a hunch that when his body underwent its next transformation, the Byakugan would hit that milestone, granting another point to his Mental attribute.
Since his Mental attribute was still one point higher than his Physical attribute, he couldn't actively push the Byakugan's evolution yet. His focus had to stay on strengthening his body.
But that was for later.
For now, he was more interested in the gains from the past four months.
Beyond the Bloodline Limits, his Chakra Refining Technique and Chakra Control proficiency had also jumped significantly.
Chakra Control was still a ways off. Leveling from 9 to 10 required a whopping 100,000 proficiency points. Though he'd gained over 10,000 points this time, it only moved from Level 9 (8800/100000) to Level 9 (20900/100000). It was still far from leveling up.
But Chakra Refining Technique was a different story. Over the past four months, it had soared to Level 7 (19652/20000), just under 400 points shy of leveling up.
Even with a max of 24 proficiency points per day, half a month would be enough to push it to the next level.
Once it leveled up, his ability to tap into his potential would skyrocket, accelerating his chakra capacity growth. Plus, his chakra recovery would get a nice boost.
Sure, the recovery from Chakra Refining Technique was a drop in the bucket compared to his body's natural recovery, but every bit counted. Seimei wasn't about to scoff at it.
Speaking of natural chakra recovery, he hadn't tested the gains from this latest Physical attribute boost yet.
Seimei glanced up at the night sky. The moon had long since tilted westward—clearly, it was late.
Testing could wait until tomorrow. It wouldn't take much time or energy and wouldn't interfere with his training.
With that, Seimei gathered his thoughts, stood, and left the central clearing of Moon Island, heading to the wooden cabin tucked in one corner.
By the stream near the cabin, he washed up briefly, then stepped inside to rest.
The night passed quietly.

The next morning, Seimei woke early.
Despite staying up late, the bodily transformation had erased some of his fatigue, leaving him refreshed and energized.
After freshening up and eating a few enhanced soldier pills to fill his stomach, he prepared to tackle the tests he'd put off last night.
With a few quick flashes, Seimei arrived at the central clearing of Moon Island.
He sat cross-legged and began fully channeling the Chakra Refining Technique to tap into his potential.
The process took about half an hour.
Afterward, he stopped.
Carefully sensing his body, comparing its state before and after the session, and calculating the growth in his chakra capacity, Seimei deduced the theoretical chakra capacity increase from this transformation.
His conclusion: 11 million points!
That's right—he estimated this transformation had boosted his theoretical chakra capacity by 11 million points.
This was slightly less than the 13 million points from the previous boost to both his Physical and Mental attributes. But considering this transformation had restored some balance between his mind and body, unlocking a portion of his potential, it made sense.
After a moment of reflection, he let it go.
Inhale… exhale…
Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, Seimei calmed himself and adjusted his state. He paused the Chakra Refining Technique.
Then, he opened his panel, quietly waiting for his body to naturally recover chakra while monitoring the changes in the Chakra section.
Time ticked by.
About ten minutes later, Seimei stopped observing.
His panel showed a chakra increase of 301,389 points.
Ten minutes meant 301,389 points. An hour would be 1,808,334 points. Over 24 hours, that came to 43.4 million points.
In other words, with sufficient energy, his body's natural recovery could now generate 43.4 million points of usable chakra per day.
That was 6 million points more than the previous 37.4 million.
This was the boost to his chakra recovery speed from the transformation.
Seimei was very satisfied.
But that didn't mean he could stockpile all this chakra.
With this transformation, his body's resilience had increased. To maintain peak efficiency in strengthening it, he'd need to invest even more chakra.
The extra chakra might not be enough.
He might even need to dip into the 9.52 million points of surplus chakra to cover the shortfall.
But to know for sure, he'd need to run some tests.
