I Have Countless Clones

Chapter 64 - 64 The Benefits of Strength



64 The Benefits of Strength

As soon as he returned home, Lin Shen saw a black shadow pounce on him. He almost subconsciously slapped it with his palm, but he stopped when he saw it was Ai.

“Lin Shen, you’re finally back!”

...

Ai grabbed Lin Shen’s shirt and looked at him with teary eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Shen was confused.

“Where’s my canned cat food?”

Lin Shen patted his forehead and finally remembered today was the day to give canned cat food to Ai. He immediately took out the can from his storage jade plate.

The pile of cans in front of her made Ai’s resentment turn into joy. She immediately pried open a can with her claws and ate it.

“How many days have you been hungry? Why are you eating so quickly?” Lin Shen asked curiously.

Speaking of this, Ai suddenly became teary-eyed again.

“I was counting the cans. I thought I would eat seven cans a day, but I finished all the cans in five days. I’ve been starving for the past three days. You have no idea how I got through it!”

Lin Shen was embarrassed.

He had been busy comprehending the Dragon Roar Through the Clouds for the past few days, so he really didn’t have time to care about Ai.

“Don’t cry. In the future, when you finish your cans, just ask me for more.”

Ai glanced at him and nodded. “Lin Shen, you’re a good person!”

Lin Shen was embarrassed again.

He felt bad for tricking such a silly kid.

After finally calming Ai down, Lin Shen watched the cat enjoy the canned cat food. He heaved a sigh of relief and went up to the second floor.

The exam had ended, and he still had a month before reporting to the academy.

In this month, he could spend all his energy on cultivating.

“I have to continue cultivating Shadows and Dragon Roar Through the Clouds. I have to reach Perfection as soon as possible!”

Whether it was Shadows or Dragon Roar Through the Clouds, their practicality and strength had already been verified in the exam.

Especially the Dragon Roar Through the Clouds. It gave Lin Shen many surprises.

After the examination ended, Lin Shen learned from Yang Zhongyi that Zhao Xueying had used Condensed Strings, which was known as the number one martial technique in the Qi Transformation Stage.

Dragon Roar Through the Clouds could suppress the Condensed Strings partly because of the nature of the two techniques, but it was enough to show how powerful the Dragon Roar Through the Clouds was.

The cat general didn’t lie to him. This was indeed a powerful martial technique!

Once one cultivates it to Perfection, even someone as strong as a Long Breath Stage cultivator wouldn’t dare to face them head-on!

“I have to continue improving my cultivation and break through to the Long Breath Stage as soon as possible!”

Lin Shen summoned the interface.

[Name: Lin Shen]

[Talent: God’s Jealousy]

[Stage: Level 9 Qi Transformation, 2%]

[Cultivation technique: Origin Breathing Technique (Perfection), Blazing Sun Palm (Perfection), Mortal Restrain (Beginner, 62%), Shadows (Mastery, 4%), Dragon Roar Through the Clouds (Beginner, 3%)]

[Number of Clones: 4 (62%)]

“I’ve used up all the Condensing Liquid. I have to go to the black street to buy more.”

Lin Shen pondered for a moment.

Thanks to the existence of his hidden system, there was no bottleneck when he cultivated. As long as his progress reached the threshold, he could directly make the breakthrough.

In other words, as long as he had enough cultivation resources, Lin Shen was confident he could break through to the Long Breath Stage within a month.

The main obstacle was that cultivation resources weren’t easy to find.

The supply of Condensing Liquid in that shop on the black street was limited. Every once in a while, they would stock a little over ten liters of Condensing Liquid. Even if Lin Shen bought all of them, he wouldn’t have enough to cultivate.

However, if he wanted to buy Essence Tempering Pills or Origin Pills to assist in his cultivation, the 200,000-odd spirit coins he had were far from enough.

Unless he could sell a few more essence stone fragments!

Lin Shen looked in the direction of the stairs and thought for a moment before shaking his head.

The Night Grinders were probably still looking for Ai. It was better not to let Ai go out for the time being.

Besides, how could it be so easy to find essence stone fragments?

He’d better go to the black street first.

Moreover, there was also a reward from the Willow Academy. He would go and collect it tomorrow.

The next morning.

Lin Shen arrived at Willow Academy.

Willow Academy was already on holiday at this time, and there were very few people in the academy.

However, this suited Lin Shen. He didn’t have to worry about being surrounded.

When he arrived at the office on the top floor of the Academic Affairs Building, Kong Hong was already waiting for him inside. He Xianglin, the dean of Huailiu Academy, was also there.

“The genius of our academy is here.”

As soon as Lin Shen walked into the office, He Xianglin greeted him personally with a smile. His actions and expressions were much more enthusiastic than when he was giving out prizes during the competition.

Kong Hong saw this and couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

Previously, when He Xianglin saw the other students who had entered the Nine Yang Academy, he was very reserved. He wasn’t as enthusiastic as he was now. He was even a little attentive.

However, Kong Hong could understand the contrast.

After all, Lin Shen was different from the other students who had entered the Nine Yang Academy.

He was the chief of the examination, and he was a commoner. His talent was simply amazing!

Such a genius would definitely have a bright future!

In fact, as long as he was willing to accept the recruitment of the influential families, advancing to a cultivator master in the future was almost a sure bet. It would definitely be beneficial to build a good relationship with him now.

Although He Xianglin was the dean of Willow Academy, he was only a Bright Aperture cultivator. He naturally didn’t dare to neglect a potential genius like Lin Shen who might advance to a cultivator master in the future.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, He Xianglin finally cut to the chase and gave the academy’s rewards to Lin Shen.

This included 200,000 spirit coins, five bottles of Origin Pills, and a set of standard low-level talismans.

There were a total of 12 low-level talismans in a set. There were six types of talismans, including the Heart Cleansing Talisman, the Flying Feather Talisman, the Protection Talisman, the Cleansing Talisman, the Evil Warding Talisman, and the Divine Weapon Talisman. There were two talismans of each type.

Although they were low-level talismans, the market price of each talisman was no less than 2,000 spirit coins.

The price of the most expensive Divine Weapon Talisman was even as high as 10,000 spirit coins per piece!

This set of standard low-level talismans was worth more than 60,000 spirit coins!

Coupled with 200,000 spirit coins and five bottles of Origin Pills, the total value of this reward was nearly 600,000. It was extremely generous!

Lin Shen couldn’t help but sigh. This was the first time he had experienced the benefits of strength.

And it was foreseeable that this was only the beginning.

After thanking the dean, Lin Shen politely declined his invitation to have lunch together and left Willow Academy.

With 200,000 spirit coins in hand and the money from selling the essence stone fragments previously, Lin Shen was now at the richest moment of his life.

Comparatively, the salary of the martial arts school’s training partner wasn’t worth mentioning.

Considering he would enter the academy in a month and probably wouldn’t have time to go to the Calm Sun Martial Arts School in the future, Lin Shen decided to make a trip there and resign from Gao Jun.

Gao Jun had long heard Lin Shen had become the new top student of the Nine Yang Academy this year. While he was amazed, he didn’t expect to keep this employer. He immediately agreed politely, and when Lin Shen left, Gao Jun even walked Lin Shen to the door.

After returning home, Lin Shen immediately went to the bedroom and locked the door. He summoned his clone, took out the Origin Pill, and began to cultivate.

As expected, after advancing to the ninth level of Qi Transformation, the effects of the Origin Pill on him were no longer as good as before.

On average, six Origin Pills only increased his cultivation progress by 1%.

“This is even with the enhancement of my talent. If it were anyone else, the effect of the Origin Pill would probably be even worse!” Lin Shen sighed.

There were a total of 60 Origin Pills in five bottles, which would only increase his cultivation progress by 10%. It was far from enough for him to break through to the Long Breath Stage.

“I’ll go to the Black Street tonight.”
