One month ago, his chakra limit had been 4.19 million points.
Now, after a month of excavation, it had risen to 4.4 million points.
Divided evenly into five portions, Qian and his four shadow clones each had 880,000 points of chakra.
And as everyone knew, cultivating "Sage Mode" had two major prerequisites: first, being able to perceive natural energy; second, possessing an enormous amount of chakra.
The former was the prerequisite for absorbing natural energy.
The latter ensured that after natural energy entered the body, it would not easily go out of control.
And now, Qian possessed both of these conditions.
For the former, his "Natural Energy Perception" had long since advanced to the lv10 (0/0) Perfected Realm, and his ability to perceive natural energy had reached the current limit.
For the latter, 800,000 points of chakra was already a hundred times that of many jonin, enough to be called enormous.
Thus, coupled with the fact that over the past few months, he had been constantly merging Sage Art Chakra and cultivating "Pinnacle of Body,"
in theory, cultivating "Sage Mode" should not be anything difficult for him.
So Qian planned to split himself into five and attempt it simultaneously, to see if he could imprint "Sage Mode" onto the Status Panel in the shortest possible time.
Once the thought came to him, Qian acted. He stood up, came before the four shadow clones, reached out, and injected 880,000 points of natural energy into each of their bodies.
Thanks to lv10 "Natural Energy Control," the instant this natural energy entered their bodies, it was brought under the shadow clones' control.
Seeing the first step succeed, Qian let out a slight breath of relief in his heart.
Then he withdrew his hand and said to the four of them, "All right, begin!"
