Time flew by.
Three months later.
In the training room.
Lin Shen sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, his chest slowly heaving.
After an unknown period of time, he suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, as if lightning had flashed, the entire training room suddenly lit up.
“I’ve finally broken through…”
Lin Shen heaved a long sigh of relief, unable to hide the joy on his face.
His cultivation progress was even smoother than he had expected.
Originally, he expected to advance to the fifth level of the Bright Aperture Stage. However, after three months, he had already reached the sixth level.
He almost made a breakthrough each month, and that was incredible!
However, what made Lin Shen even happier was that his Path-stage martial technique had finally broken through to a higher stage!
Moreover, it didn’t just happen to Meltdown. The Forbidden Golden Armor had also broken through at the same time!
[Name: Lin Shen]
[Talent: Analogy]
[Stage: Bright Aperture Level 6,12%]
[Cultivation techniques: Nine Yang Scripture (85% greater mastery), Meltdown (True Martial), Forbidden Golden Armor (True Martial), Cloud Dragon Rhythm (30% Path), Nine Divine Sun Sword (25% Path)…]
[Spells: Seven Arts Sword Energy (Level 4, 23%), Palm Lightning (Level 4, 18%), Paper Man Movement Technique (Level 3, 45%), Fixation Curse (Level 3, 12%), Riding Wind Technique (Level 3, 45%), Water Mirror Technique (Level 1, 45%)]
[Number of clones: 7 (18%)]
True Martial!
This was the martial arts stage after Path.
“Unfortunately, when I met Senior Brother Xie previously, I was only concerned about the spirit cave underground and forgot to ask him for guidance on True Martial techniques.”
Lin Shen felt a little regretful.
He immediately threw this to the back of his mind.
Although he didn’t know about True Martial techniques before, after reaching this stage, he had a certain understanding of its power.
“The power is at least four to five times that of a Path martial technique! Perhaps more!”
Lin Shen’s eyes flashed with joy.
He suddenly had the confidence that if he faced Wu Luo’s incarnation again, with the True Martial Meltdown and Forbidden Golden Armor, he would definitely have the strength to fight his opponent this time. There was no need to escape in panic!
“If Path corresponds to the Bright Aperture Stage, then does True Martial correspond to the cultivator master stage?”
Lin Shen was a little uncertain. After all, he had yet to verify the power of a True Martial technique in actual combat.
He didn’t dare to use it in the training room.
The last time he tested the power of Path-stage Meltdown, he almost destroyed the training room.
The training room would definitely not be able to withstand the power of a True Martial technique.
“I’ll go to the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range tomorrow to try it on a spiritual beast!”
Lin Shen had a plan in mind and looked at the interface.
After advancing to True Martial, there was no progress bar after the martial technique. Clearly, True Martial was the highest stage.
This made him feel slightly regretful.
It would be great if he could keep improving.
Apart from the True Martial techniques, his spell techniques had also improved to varying degrees.
The Seven Arts Sword Energy had reached the fourth level, and he could already release four streaks of sword energy at the same time.
The Lightning Palm and Paper Man Movement Technique had also reached the fourth level.
According to the description in the secret manual, these two spells could only reach the fifth level at most.
In other words, the two spells were only one step away from perfection.
As for the other three spells, Lin Shen didn’t put much effort into them, so the improvement wasn’t much.
At first, Lin Shen wanted to focus on cultivating the Riding Wind Technique.
After all, being chased by Wu Luo’s incarnation made him realize the importance of escape techniques.
However, on second thought, he realized that after the Cloud Dragon Rhythm reached True Martial, its speed would definitely be much higher than the Riding Wind Technique.
Even if he cultivated the Riding Wind Technique at the fifth level, it would be much slower.
There was no need to spend too much time on the Riding Wind Technique.
This spell was mostly used to float in the air, making it easier for Lin Shen to cross some terrain when he was training in the wild.
Moreover, perhaps after reaching True Martial, the Cloud Dragon Rhythm could also have the ability to fly like the Riding Wind Technique.
“No matter what, I have to reach True Martial in the Cloud Dragon Rhythm. As for the Riding Wind Technique, I’ll decide after that!”
With a plan in mind, Lin Shen turned his attention back to the interface.
After three months, the progress of condensing the eighth clone had already reached 18%.
The average speed was 1% every five days.
At this rate, it would take a full 500 days for the eighth clone to complete.
“More than a year…”
Lin Shen pondered for a moment.
As the number of clones increased, it took more and more time to condense the new ones.
At this rate, it would probably take three to four years to condense the ninth clone.
However, on second thought, as his strength increased, especially after becoming a cultivator master, he would no longer need to eat or rest. The time he spent in seclusion would probably be calculated by years.
From the looks of it, three to four years didn’t seem all that long.
“Forget it. Seven clones are enough for now!”
Sensing the clones cultivating in his mind, Lin Shen smiled.
With seven clones and various talents, his cultivation speed was ten to twenty times that of ordinary cultivators!
Cultivating for a month was equivalent to a year or two of hard work for others!
It far exceeded the so-called geniuses
“At the sixth level of the Bright Aperture Stage and with True Martial techniques, spells, and talent, ordinary ninth-level Bright Aperture cultivators are no longer my match!”
Lin Shen was overwhelmed with emotions.
Compared to three months ago, his strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
He was as powerful as someone at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage.
If he included his clones… With eight ninth-level Bright Aperture cultivators working together and using an array formation, Lin Shen was confident that he could defeat even Wu Luo’s incarnation!
After a long while, Lin Shen finally calmed down.
He stood up and left the training room. He was perplexed when he went outside and looked in the direction of the square..
