I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Shi Yu was very curious about what would happen when these two forces merged.

"Then let's try fusing Ice Release and Boil Release!"

"Great Sage, please analyze what preparations are needed to successfully fuse the two bloodline limits!"

[Great Sage: Analysis in progress]

[Based on the host's thoughts, we speculate that they wish to fuse two bloodline limits.]

[1. Need to enhance chakra control to the point where one can easily manipulate chakra into threads at will.]

[2. The host needs to enhance two nature transformations: Ice Release and Boil Release.]

[3. The host needs to strengthen their physique; their current physique is too weak to withstand the drastic temperature changes during fusion.]

Simply put, it's about chakra control, the power of ninjutsu, and physical attributes.

That means I need to make some changes to the skills in my passive skill bar.

[Great Sage: Prompt: Host, equip skills in the skill bar. The boost from actively using skills is more than ten times that from passively using them.]

"? This function is available?"

[The Great Sage: Of course]

"Why didn't you say so sooner??"

[The Great Sage: I thought the host had already sensed it.]

Sometimes, this damn skill doesn't seem very smart either.

Ok!

Thinking about it carefully, it does seem that after equipping the skills in the passive skill slot, the effect is quite good every time I use the skills.

Since that's the case, we naturally can't rely solely on passive operation.

If you cultivate actively, the effect is more than ten times greater, which is quite good. Combining active and passive cultivation will make the process even faster.

[Great Sage: Accelerated thinking can also enhance the effects of active cultivation]

"Accelerated thinking has this ability?"

[The Great Sage: Of course]

Shiyu felt as if her question was unnecessary.

If you ask it why it didn't say so before, it will probably still answer that it didn't ask.

He let out a soft breath, calming his rising blood pressure.

Shiyu looked at the passive skill bar.

Since we'll start with chakra control, the three skills—chakra, taijutsu, and genjutsu—must remain unchanged.

This is the foundation; the foundation must be built properly.

As for the two Ice Release ninjutsu, try not to remove them.

So all that's left is two breaths. Right now, his swordsmanship has earned Kakashi's praise, and his passive skill is constantly improving.

But they're also much slower, so let's replace them!

Switch to chakra control.

Chapter 69 Tenfold Enhancement, Breakthrough Like Drinking Water

Replace the passive skill bar.

The next step is cultivation.

The training needed now is chakra control.

The control training that is usually required is nothing more than two things.

Climbing trees and stepping on them!

Shigure had already mastered these two skills long ago.

However, just like the difference between a top student and a poor student taking an exam, both students get 100 points. The top student gets 100 points because that's the highest possible score on the exam, while the poor student gets 100 points because that's the only score they can achieve.

Therefore, mastering the skills does not mean that you cannot continue to improve them.

"Then how can I improve my chakra control?"

"Increase the load?"

This was the first method that Shiyu came up with.

[Great Sage: The host only needs to release the skill listed in the passive skill bar; normal release will grant ten times the effect.]

"Then I'll increase the difficulty myself, and the training effect will be further enhanced!"

[The Great Sage: Of course]

"That's okay!"

Since time has already been spent cultivating, Shiyu wants to increase the difficulty of cultivation as much as possible and enhance its effects.

I glanced at the boulder next to me; it weighed about 700 pounds.

Such a stone is not difficult for Shiyu557's physique to lift.

But standing on the surface with such a stone in hand is...

Pfft! !

As expected, Shigure fell directly into the river.

Fortunately, the river wasn't deep; it only reached Shiyu's waist.

"It seems that with the increased weight, the requirements for chakra control are now much higher if you want to stand firmly on the surface!"

The width of his feet was only so big, yet he wanted to rely on that chakra to stand on the surface while holding up a 700-pound corpse.

That means that a faster flow of chakra is needed, as well as an increased density of chakra.

Within a fixed range, the density of chakra should be increased.

This requires an exceptionally high level of control over chakra.

"Let's try reducing the weight a little first!"

With Shigure's current chakra control, he can lift a 500-pound stone and stand on it.

And because the water flows extremely fast down the waterfall.

The rain only lasts for a dozen seconds before it falls into the middle.

Although Shigure felt somewhat helpless as she repeatedly fell into the pit.

However, Shigure also experienced the tenfold effect mentioned by the Great Sage.

At the same time, while considering the acceleration effect to enhance cultivation.

Shi Yu finally understood what it meant to make rapid progress.

Each time she practiced, Yu seemed to master more methods and could clearly feel greater progress.

The first time, it only lasted for about ten seconds.

But the second time, Shigure lasted for twenty-five seconds.

The third time, it lasted for over thirty seconds.

Such obvious progress made Shiyu even more excited.

Falling repeatedly, then getting up again and again, and each time the time spent persevering increased significantly compared to the last.

'A tenfold enhancement of the cultivation effect—this is simply amazing!'

Although Shigure was already soaked to the bone, she was actually quite happy.

"It seems I should continue refining chakra tonight. Relying solely on the growth of passive skill slots is too slow!"

Pfft!

The timely rain fell once again.

At this time, the rain had been replaced by a boulder weighing seven hundred pounds.

Three hours passed quickly as Shiyu engaged in his intense training.

Buzzing sound!

With a loud crash, Shiyu casually tossed aside the boulder, which was dozens of times larger than herself.

The boulder crashed down and created a crater in the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

This stone weighs a full thousand pounds.

However, Shigure was able to stand upright for about half an hour while holding it on the fast-moving surface.

The footwork training can continue, but the weight needs to be increased.

However, carrying the boulder continuously for three hours is not only a test of chakra control.
