I Have Countless Clones-Chapter 127 - Rank Challenge (1)

Chapter 127: Rank Challenge (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Days and months flash by as quickly as a weaver's shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

With a sufficient supply of Prime Pills, Lin Shen's cultivation level increased rapidly, and he successfully broke through to the sixth level of the Long Breath Stage.

The three clones cultivated day and night, and he finally reached Perfection in the Essence Sword Finger and Supreme Yang Swordplay.

[Name: Lin Shen]

[Talent: Analogy]

[Stage: Long Breath Level 6, 35%]

[Cultivation technique: Golden Crow Scripture (Mastery 42%)...

Supreme Yang Swordplay (Perfection), Essence Sword Finger (Perfection), Mortal Restrain (Proficient 78%)]

[Number of clones: 5 (94%)]

Compared to the Essence Sword Finger, the Supreme Yang Swordplay was easier to cultivate. With the Pure Yang Body's effect of cultivation speed of +300%, he had long reached Perfection.

After that, Lin Shen spent most of his energy cultivating the Essence Sword Finger. It was only today that he finally reached Perfection.

Sitting cross-legged on the floor of the training room, Lin Shen suddenly opened his eyes and pointed with his finger.

In an instant, there was a low swooshing sound. A streak of ferocious energy shot out from his fingertip and hit the metal wall not far away, leaving a small hole two to three centimeters deep.

Seeing this scene, Lin Shen smiled in satisfaction.

The wall of the training room was made of special material. He had experimented with it. Even with the power of Perfection Meltdown, he could only leave a palm mark of about one centimeter deep on the wall.

By that standard, the power of the Perfection-stage Essence Sword Finger far exceeded that of the Perfection-stage Meltdown!

Of course, Meltdown's attack used an open palm, while Essence Sword Finger was in the form of a streak of energy. It was naturally more penetrative.

"I've also reached Mastery in the Golden Crow Scripture!" Lin Shen pondered for a moment.

According to the information he had obtained, the Golden Crow Scripture was a cultivation technique of the Long Breath Stage. After breaking through to the Bright Aperture Stage, its efficiency would become minimal. At that point, he would also need to change the cultivation technique.

Fortunately, as long as the academy's disciples advanced to the Bright Aperture Stage, they would be given a high-level cultivation technique that was similar to the Golden Crow Scripture for free. There was no need to worry about this.

"Unfortunately, the Golden Crow Scripture isn't considered a martial technique. Even if it is cultivated to Perfection, it's not included in the talent bonus of Analogy."

So far, Lin Shen had already mastered seven Perfection-stage martial techniques.

The talent effect of Analogy also became "Martial Technique Cultivation Speed+70%" and "Martial Technique Power+35%".

Superior Martial Arts, Pure Yang Body, Analogy... The talent effects of all three clones greatly increased the cultivation speed of martial techniques.

In addition, Lin Shen could switch talents at any time.𝐟𝙧ℯe𝙬𝚎𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵel. 𝐜o𝓶

He and three clones cultivated at the same time. His current martial technique cultivation speed had already reached an extremely shocking level!

In less than a month, he had cultivated the Essence Sword Finger and Supreme Yang Swordplay from Beginner to Perfection. That speed was enough to astonish all his fellow disciples!

Many disciples might not even be able to cultivate the Supreme Yang Swordplay to Mastery, let alone Perfection, even if they spent an entire year.

Not to mention the more difficult Essence Sword Finger!

As for the power of the martial technique, other than Perseverance, the talents of the four clones all had the effect of increasing the power of martial techniques.

However, without summoning his clone, Lin Shen could only use one talent at a time, so the effect wasn't as shocking as the cultivation speed of his martial techniques.

"I'wonder if my talent slot will increase after I break through to the Bright Aperture Stage."

After letting his thoughts drift for a moment, Lin Shen shook his head and dispelled the distracting thoughts, focusing again on the matter at hand.

Now that he had reached Perfection in the Essence Sword Finger and Supreme Yang Swordplay, it was time to change to new martial techniques.

Lin Shen took out the Iron Scale Technique and the Wolf Soul Claw manuals from his storage bag. He got rid of his distracting thoughts and focused on reading them carefully.

After memorizing the text, he began to comprehend it with his clones.

Compared to martial techniques like the Forbidden Golden Armor and Meltdown, the Iron Scale Technique and the Wolf Soul Claw were clearly of a lower grade, so they were also easier to cultivate.

In just three days, he reached Beginner in the two martial techniques.

In another two days, he successfully reached Proficient in the Iron Scale Technique.

Standing in the middle of the training room, Lin Shen willed the spiritual essence in his body to circulate rapidly, and a layer of dark light instantly appeared on his skin.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the layer of light was vaguely in the shape of countless small scales. It looked like Lin Shen was wearing an illusory fish scale armor.

After experiencing it for himself, Lin Shen realized that the Iron Scale Technique was indeed much inferior to the Forbidden Golden Armor.

However, considering that cultivating this martial technique was only to increase the effect of his Analogy talent, Lin Shen didn't care.

"Both martial techniques are relatively easy to cultivate. In about ten days, I should be able to reach Perfection in them both."

Even so, Lin Shen didn't continue cultivating. Instead, he stretched and walked towards the door of the training room, preparing to rest for the day.

After all, tomorrow was the day of the rank challenge.

He had to conserve his energy.

The rank challenge that was held once every three months was the biggest event in the Nine Yang Academy.

After all, the rank of a disciple was related to the benefits they could enjoy.

One mere rank apart could make a great difference after three months of accumulation.

Therefore, every disciple wanted to climb up!

The rank challenge was the only way for them to achieve their goal!

The rank challenge would last for three days.

The first two days were challenges between the disciples of the lower house, and the last day was for the disciples of the lower house to challenge those of the upper house.

During this period, the challenges would take place from lower to higher ranks.

Rankless disciples would challenge Yellow-rank disciples first. If there were no rankless disciples in the academy, this step would be skipped..
