A bunch of thoughts raced through Seimei's head, but he shoved 'em aside.
He gave one last glance at the 'Chakra Extraction Technique' down on the panel—still climbing steady—then shifted back to the base stats.
He'd already wrapped up the gains from the past few months.
Now? Time to test what this 'Physique' bump brought to the table.
First up: Theoretical chakra cap growth.
"Inhale~~~ Exhale~~~"
Deep breath in, slow breath out.
Seimei chilled his mind, then cranked the Chakra Extraction Technique to max, digging into his potential.
This time, he went a full hour before stopping.
Eyes closed, he tuned into his body's before-and-after, checked the panel's new chakra cap, and crunched the potential boost.
Few minutes later—boom, conclusion.
This 'Physique' jump added about 110 million to his theoretical cap.
Yup, 110 million straight up—30 million more than last time's 80 million.
Way above normal.
Why? Simple: His body and spirit were balancing out, unlocking some of that suppressed potential.
No shocker—it overshot expectations.
Heck, Seimei could see it coming: As 'Physique' kept closing in on 'Spirit,' these over-the-top boosts would keep rolling in.
He was totally cool with that.
Plus, it got him pumped for the chakra recovery speed test next.
With that in mind, he jumped right in.
Same drill: Paused the Chakra Extraction Technique to keep things steady.
Opened the panel, let his body recover naturally, and watched 'Chakra' tick up.
Time slipped by.
Ten minutes later...
He stopped.
Panel showed 2,120,833 chakra gained.
Ten minutes: 2.12 million. One hour: 12.72 million. Full day: 305.4 million.
Before? Just 245.4 million.
So, this 'Physique' boost added 60 million to his daily natural recovery.
20 million more than last time's 40 million.
Yup—more unlocked potential at work.
Seimei was stoked.
With those 60 million extra usable chakra points, his daily surplus finally flipped from red to black.
Sure, just for now.
Once his body finished transforming and could take more heat, full-throttle training would need way more chakra dumped in.
Surplus? Back to negative.
But hey, those 60 million still took a huge load off.
Next up: How much extra chakra would he need to chase?
If it wasn't too bad, his backup stash would last longer.
Otherwise? Maybe just half a year.
He shook it off, fished some enhanced soldier pills from his pouch, popped 'em to refuel, rested a sec, then kicked off the next training round.
Hand up—bam, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
Poof poof poof!
Smoke cleared, 100 shadow clones popped up.
No clue yet on his exact body limit boost, so he stuck with 100 for natural energy absorption—like always.
Split off a wood clone to bundle 'em and haul away, then hand seals again—another Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
This time: 235 shadow clones.
Seimei waved 'em off to keep grinding Bloodline Webs.
Watched 'em go, topped off his chakra, thought flicked—Flying Thunder God Technique. Straight into the volcano.
Standing in the kinda cramped fourth cavity, he pulled natural energy from his gut pocket dimension, fused it quick into senjutsu chakra, and—bam—Sage Mode online.
No chit-chat, he dove straight into body toughening.
Pushed 'Body's Peak' over and over. Without that invisible roadblock, he felt the progress again.
But... only 15 minutes in, he stopped.
Why? Speed was up a bit, sure—but compared to last 'Physique' bump experience? Still lagging.
Seimei tuned in deep, replayed the whole process, hunting the glitch.
Full scan—everything normal. No issues.
Wait~
Hit him like a brick. He yanked back his spirit sense from inside, looked around.
Closed eyes again, felt the air's heat and pressure.
Moment later—eyes snapped open. "Yup, that's it!"
Just clicked: Body toughening speed wasn't just him—it tied to how brutal the environment was.
If outside pressure wasn't enough to force real evolution, speed tanked.
He was fine internally? Problem had to be external.
Check it—yep.
Heat and pressure barely changed, but the stress on him? Dropped big-time. Like it'd crossed some threshold.
No wonder speed was off.
Why didn't it hit him sooner? Every past spot held up for four, five—heck, six or seven transformations.
This one? From risky first dive, only three transformations in, and it's toast.
Duh, should've seen it!
And only three? 'Cause later transformations pack bigger punches.
Plus, one was that 39-to-40 'Physique' qualitative leap. Totally normal for it to cap at three.
Problem found—now fix it.
Easy fix: Hunt a new lava cave.
No sweat for him.
With that, Seimei popped Byakugan and peered straight down.
