Calming his mind, Qingming wiped the blood from beneath his left eye and focused on sensing the ability housed within his right eye.
Time passed slowly.
After a moment, Qingming opened his eyes, and a subtle fluctuation of chakra emerged, but there was no visible change in his demeanor.
However, Qingming knew that the ocular technique in his right eye had been activated.
Similar to the ocular technique in his left eye, the technique residing in his right eye was also non-offensive.
It was called "Control of the Self," and its sole effect was to control oneself.
The essence of controlling oneself included everything: organs, tissues, cells, consciousness, and more.
Anything that fell within the category of 'self' could be influenced by "Control of the Self."
Of course, with Qingming's current ability, he couldn't achieve too fine-tuned control just yet.
At present, the only things he could influence were his organs.
For instance, he could control the heartbeat rate, the digestive efficiency of his stomach, and the secretion of adrenaline, among other functions.
From this perspective, if "Heavenly Control" was considered the strongest ocular technique, then "Control of the Self" was undoubtedly the weakest.
But one must not forget that this was just the beginning.
Indeed, at present, "Control of the Self" could be deemed the weakest ocular technique, but its potential for development should not be underestimated.
Currently, its precision was lacking, and its operability was limited.
However, as his abilities increased, the precision of his control over his body would also improve, thereby enhancing its operability.
For example, he could control his muscles to exert their full strength, liberate his body from its chakra restrictions, and enable rapid adaptation to various harsh environments.
As he heightened his control over his body, all these feats would become achievable.
Especially the ability to control his body's adaptation to adverse conditions—this was essentially a form of evolution, and one that could be directed and controlled.
If Qingming had previously worried that his Mangekyō Sharingan would not evolve into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he no longer needed to be concerned now.
Transplanting the eyes of a sibling to awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was essentially about correcting genetic defects, making this ability more perfect.
Though he had no siblings, "Control of the Self," combined with "Heart Reflection Technique," was sufficient to guide his body toward directed evolutionary mutations and complete his genetic framework.
In other words, the path to achieving the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was no longer obstructed.
Moreover, with "Control of the Self," he could also accelerate his physical enhancement.
Additionally, once "Control of the Self" reached a certain level, it could likely restore sight lost from frequent use of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
While using "Control of the Self" would also cause blindness, as long as he managed the pace properly, he could greatly delay this outcome.
Thus, coupled with the enhanced endurance resulting from the evolution of his body, even without the powerful vitality provided by Hashirama's cells, his Mangekyō Sharingan wouldn't become useless in a short period.
This implied that his peak combat power could be sustained for an extended duration.
If he could evolve his Sharingan to the level of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan within this timeframe, he would not have to worry about subsequent issues.
One could say that "Control of the Self" was deeply connected to his future path; in many ways, its importance was second only to the life-saving "Heavenly Control."
After carefully feeling the effects of "Control of the Self" for a while, Qingming closed his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Then, he opened his proficiency panel.
The familiar pale blue screen appeared.

[Complete Skills:]
First, he noted that his "Spirit" attribute had surged by four points, thanks to the evolution of his Sharingan from three tomoe to Mangekyō.
Given that his foundation was already quite high, this increase significantly boosted his overall capabilities.
Qingming estimated that his current spiritual power was at least 1.8 times that of his previous level.
Thus, considering that his "Physique" attribute was notably lower than his "Spirit," Qingming felt that his spiritual strength was now at least double that of his physical strength.
This doubling was close to a critical threshold; once surpassed, the balance could be disrupted, leading to potential issues.
Feeling the pressure of his spirit on his body, Qingming was somewhat relieved that he hadn't hastily activated his Mangekyō Sharingan earlier.
Had he done so back then, with his "Physique" attribute at only eleven points, the disparity with his current "Spirit" attribute of nineteen points would have been a staggering eight points.
The risks involved in such a huge gap were self-evident.
Fortunately, he had safely avoided that calamity.
However, he could not afford to neglect the subsequent enhancements to his body; in fact, he needed to expedite this process.
Only in doing so could he maintain the balance between his spirit and body, preventing any risk of imbalance.
Additionally, quickly balancing his physical and spiritual attributes would bring another benefit: the ability to unlock greater potential.
Unlike now, where his lower "Physique" attribute constrained him, the theoretical upper limit of his chakra had only increased by less than fifty thousand points—going from 71,000 to 120,000.
Undoubtedly, this increase was rather minimal.
Likewise, the enhancement to his chakra recovery speed was below expectations; the maximum daily chakra recovery had only risen by a little over thirty thousand points.
This meant that his original daily recovery of 54,000 points had increased to 85,000 points.
While this number was nearly double his current chakra upper limit, it still felt somewhat lacking compared to the four-point increase in his "Spirit" attribute.
Fortunately, the untapped potential was still stored within his body rather than wasted, so Qingming didn't dwell on it too much.
Shifting his gaze from the base attributes, Qingming focused on the bloodline section.
Just as he had sensed, his Sharingan had indeed progressed from the three tomoe level to that of Mangekyō.
However, the progress bar (1/50,000) following the Mangekyō Sharingan made him dizzy.
Hastily, Qingming used "Heart Reflection Technique" once to assess how much further progress this technique would contribute to the evolution of his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Previously, the lv7 "Heart Reflection Technique" would yield a single point of progress for his three tomoe Sharingan with each application.
And now...
After one attempt, there was no change in the evolution degree of his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Trying again, there was still no reaction, but Qingming could sense that its influence on the Sharingan remained.
It wasn't until the third attempt with "Heart Reflection Technique" that he finally saw a slight increase in the progress bar of his Mangekyō Sharingan.
This indicated that he would need to perform "Heart Reflection Technique" three times to gain a single point of evolution for the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Thus, considering the fivefold longer progress bar, the difficulty of this evolution was nearly fifteen times greater than evolving from three tomoe to Mangekyō.
Just as he received this information, Qingming felt light-headed.
However, he quickly composed himself.
First, compared to before, his chakra recovery speed had improved significantly, and he had ample chakra available for the time being, alleviating concerns about running out.
Secondly, his proficiency in "Heart Reflection Technique" was nearing a quarter of lv7, and it wouldn't be long before he successfully advanced to lv8.
At that point, the effectiveness of this technique on the Mangekyō Sharingan would undoubtedly improve, meaning the ultimate required proficiency wouldn't be so extreme.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, with the activation of his Mangekyō Sharingan, he had laid the groundwork for controlling tailed beasts.
Once he managed to control a tailed beast to serve as a "chakra battery," even a fifteenfold increase in difficulty would not pose a significant challenge.
