I Have Countless Clones

73 Clone 5

In the face of Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao’s threatening actions, Lin Shen was unmoved. He looked at the two of them in disdain, as if he was asking them if they had no better things to do.

“That’s what you stopped me for?”

Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao didn’t expect Lin Shen to have such a reaction. They were both stunned. When they came back to their senses, they were extremely angry.

“Kuang Bao and I will be participating in the guided battle on the day of the new students’ registration. We’ll even challenge you to a battle. We’ll let you experience the difference in strength between the disciples of influential families and the bumpkins!”

“Alright, alright. I understand. Thank you for informing me in advance.”

Lin Shen nodded perfunctorily. Those who didn’t know better would think he was coaxing a naughty and insensible child.

Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao were getting angrier and angrier. Just as they were about to throw a tantrum, they were suddenly interrupted by a pleasant voice.

“What are you doing?”

The two of them turned around and were stunned to find Zhao Xueying standing a few meters away, looking at them indifferently.

“It’s nothing. We just want to chat with Lin Shen,” Kuang Bao said hurriedly.

Peng Xinyuan also nodded stiffly.

It was an open secret that Zhao Xueying couldn’t stand the domineering behavior of the disciples of influential families.

If she knew they were showing off to Lin Shen, who knew what she would do?

Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao were only from the collateral branches of the ten preeminent families. They didn’t dare to provoke Zhao Xueying, who was from one of the three major families and was a direct descendant.

“…”

Zhao Xueying didn’t say a word. She just stared at Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao quietly.

Although she was straightforward, she wasn’t an ignorant fool. Naturally, she wouldn’t believe their lies.

Facing Zhao Xueying’s silent gaze, Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao quickly couldn’t take it anymore and fled.

However, before they left, they glared at Lin Shen again.

Lin Shen didn’t care at all. He had never taken it to heart when it came to clowns like them.

“Are you alright?” Zhao Xueying walked over and asked.

“I’m fine, thank you.”

Lin Shen waved his hand and thanked her.

Although he would be fine if Zhao Xueying didn’t appear, she was still kind-hearted, and he had to accept this favor.

Hearing this, Zhao Xueying nodded slightly. She thought for a moment and reminded him,

“Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao are both Long Breath Stage cultivators. You have to be careful.”

Obviously, she had also heard about Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao representing the Yellow disciples in the guided battle.

“I will.”

Lin Shen smiled faintly, his expression calm and confident.

Zhao Xueying was adrift for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Why was Lin Shen so calm?

If it were anyone else, even if they didn’t panic, they wouldn’t be able to stay so calm when they heard two Long Breath Stage cultivators were preparing to make things difficult for them, right?

Unfortunately, Lin Shen didn’t intend to explain so much. He quickly bade farewell and left.

After watching Lin Shen walk out of the shop, Zhao Xueying was stunned for a while. Then, she brought the goods she had just picked to the front desk.

“Miss Zhao!”

The receptionist immediately recognized Zhao Xueying and knew that she was a VIP customer of the True Martial Pavilion. She immediately bowed respectfully.

Zhao Xueying nodded and handed the items to the receptionist to settle. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked,

“What did that guy buy?”

“That young man? He bought two bottles of Condensing Pills.”

Thud!

The porcelain bottle in Zhao Xueying’s hand fell onto the counter and rolled a few times, almost falling to the ground.

However, the girl couldn’t care less about this.

She suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction where Lin Shen had left, her eyes filled with shock.

Condensing Pills?

Could Lin Shen have broken through to the Long Breath Stage?!

…

When Lin Shen got home, Ai was still sleeping.

“Speaking of which, now that I’ve broken through to the Long Breath Stage, it’s time for me to go outside the city to train.”

Lin Shen suddenly thought.

The wilderness of this world wasn’t as safe as in his previous life. Instead, it was filled with danger.

There were mountain spirits and strange beasts,

as well as demons and monsters!

In this world, those creatures weren’t just a fantasy or legend. They were real.

If one did not have enough strength, they would become food for the spiritual beasts if they weren’t careful when leaving Dragonside City.

Therefore, many civilians in Dragonside City had never stepped out of the city in their lives.

The communication between cities was mostly done through cultivators.

Previously, when he was still at the Qi Transformation stage, Lin Shen naturally wouldn’t be ambitious and wanted to go out to train.

However, things were different now. He was already a Long Breath Stage cultivator and had exquisite martial techniques. He already had enough strength to go out.

At the same time, he could try Ai’s treasure-hunting ability. Maybe he could find some treasures!

“I heard the Nine Yang Academy had some meritorious missions that needed to be carried out outside the city. When the time comes, I can also accept some missions.”

Lin Shen made up his mind and returned to his bedroom on the second floor. He closed the door and prepared to cultivate.

Taking out the Condensing Pills from his storage jade plate, Lin Shen summoned Clone 2 and handed it one. He also took one. Then, the two of them sat down cross-legged, closed their eyes, and started cultivating.

About an hour later.

Lin Shen and Clone 2 opened their eyes at the same time.

Lin Shen immediately summoned the interface.

“My cultivation progress has increased by 3%. Not bad!”

There were a total of 24 Condensing Pills in the two bottles, which could increase his cultivation progress by about 72%. This was still within Lin Shen’s expectations.

Coupled with his daily cultivation and eating of spirit beast meat, he would be able to break through to the second level of the Long Breath Stage in at most half a month.

That was when the other three clones were focused on cultivating martial techniques.

“However, if I want to continue improving my cultivation, I need more Condensing Pills or even better pills than them!”

Lin Shen turned to look out the window in the direction of the central area.

“I hope I can get enough cultivation resources in the academy.”

After calming himself down, Lin Shen looked at the interface again.

[Clone 5]

[Condensing, current progress: 96%]

“Two more days!”

…

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

With Clone 2 working day and night, the two bottles of Condensing Pills had been used up.

Lin Shen’s cultivation level also soared to Level 1 of the Long Breath Stage, 74%.

At the same time,

The condensation progress of the fifth clone had finally reached 100%.

Without hesitation, Lin Shen immediately summoned his fifth clone.

As a shadow separated from his body and quickly condensed into a clone in the middle of the bedroom, a large number of words appeared in front of Lin Shen.

[Clone 5]

[Talent: Swordsman]

[Stage: Long Breath Level 1, 74%]

[Current Cultivation: None]

“Swordsman?”

Lin Shen’s expression changed, and he immediately focused on the new clone.

[Swordsman: Sword technique power +20%, Swordsmanship cultivation speed +20%]

Lin Shen was slightly disappointed.

To be honest, this talent wasn’t bad.

Not only could it increase the cultivation speed of the sword technique, but it could also strengthen its power.

Considering that Lin Shen might choose to cultivate weapon-type martial techniques next, this talent might be useful.

The problem was that the 20% increase was too low.

50% would be more like it.

Should he change it?

Lin Shen hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and making up his mind.

Yes!

He had to find a formidable talent!
