On top of a giant rock, Seimei sat with his eyes closed, quietly sensing the changes brought by mastering Senra Bansho Fūjin (All-Encompassing Seal) to its fullest.
After a long while, he finally opened his eyes. A sharp glint flashed through his gaze. With a slight movement of his lips, he softly muttered, "Panel!"
In the next moment, a familiar light-blue, semi-transparent panel popped up in front of him. His stats filled his vision:

Seimei's eyes scanned the panel. Just as he'd felt, after over five days of practice, his Senra Bansho Fūjin had indeed hit the max level—Lv10 (0/0)!
Back in the day, he'd been pouring 700,000 chakra points into it daily. Now that it was fully mastered, it meant he'd have an extra 700,000 points to play with every day. Sweet deal, right?
But Seimei didn't rush to divvy up the chakra just yet. First, he wanted to test what reaching max level with Senra Bansho Fūjin had done for him. With a thought, he stood up, deliberately suppressing his body's natural chakra recovery and the Chakra Refinement skill. Then he started casting Transcription Seal and Heart Lock Seal.
One time, two times, three times… soon, he'd run through both sealing techniques ten times each. After that, he checked the chakra changes on his panel.
Here's the scoop: with Senra Bansho Fūjin maxed out, practicing these two seals was now about 20% more efficient. In other words, the same amount of chakra now gave him 20% more proficiency!
Before, it took about 120 chakra points to boost Transcription Seal by one proficiency point. Now? That number dropped to 1.2—meaning 100 chakra points got him one point.
Same deal with Heart Lock Seal. It used to take 100 chakra points for one proficiency point, but now it was down to around 85.
Even without pumping extra chakra into them, their daily proficiency gains would jump—Transcription Seal from 2,500 to 3,000, and Heart Lock Seal from 700 to 840. At this rate, Transcription Seal (currently Lv8, 23,215/50,000) would hit max level Lv9 (0/0) in just nine days. Not bad, huh? Seimei could live with that.
But Heart Lock Seal? Nope, not good enough. Even with the efficiency boost, it'd still take over 18 days to reach Lv7 (0/0). Way too slow for him!
After some thought, he decided to take 130,000 points from the 700,000 he'd freed up thanks to Senra Bansho Fūjin and bump his Heart Lock Seal investment to a clean 200,000. That'd push its daily proficiency gain from 840 to 2,350. Boom! Now it'd only take a little over six days—less than a week—to hit Lv7 (0/0).
Seimei nodded, pretty pleased with the math.
Next, he turned his attention to some other skills, especially the newer ones he'd picked up. First up: Fire Style · Crimson Lotus Hellfire. Its cap was Lv9, and with his current 120,000 chakra investment per day, it'd take nearly three months to max out. Yikes, too long!
Before, chakra was tight, so he had to skimp a bit. But now? He had plenty to spare. Without hesitation, he bumped its daily investment by 280,000, bringing it to a solid 400,000. That'd crank its proficiency gain from 1,000 to 3,300 per day. Now it'd hit Lv7 in just four days and Lv9 in three weeks. Much better!
Quick tally: 700,000 - 130,000 - 280,000 = 290,000 chakra points left to play with!
His eyes drifted down the list, skipping Fire Style · Thousand Swallow Dance and landing on Fire Style · Focused Flame Strike. This one was trickier than Crimson Lotus Hellfire and needed some extra effort to perfect. On average, it took 150 chakra points for one proficiency point. No sweat—Seimei threw 150,000 more chakra at it. That boosted its daily gain from 1,000 to 2,000. Sure, it wasn't as fast as Crimson Lotus Hellfire, but it'd do for now.
He'd considered tossing more at it, but the technique wasn't fully polished yet. Overinvesting would just waste effort, so he held back for now. If it needed more later, he'd step up.
After that 150,000, he was down to 140,000 chakra points.
His gaze moved further down, skipping Lightning Chakra Mode and settling on Lightning Style · Thunderstrike Sword, Lightning Style · Thunder Beast Performance, Earth Style · Black Soil Rain, and Earth Style · Earth Vein Dragon. After a quick think, he decided to toss 60,000 points into Thunderstrike Sword, doubling its daily chakra input. That'd double its growth speed too—hitting Lv5 in just over a day and Lv7 in about half a month. Nice!
As for the remaining 80,000 points, he split them in a 2:3:3 ratio across Thunder Beast Performance (20,000), Black Soil Rain (30,000), and Earth Vein Dragon (30,000). Their daily chakra went from a neat 50,000 each to 70,000, 80,000, and 80,000. Proficiency gains jumped from 500 each to 700, 800, and 800. Not quite double, but a solid 20-30% boost. That'd cut their max-out time way down too!
And with that, Seimei wrapped up his redistribution. Job well done!
