I Have Countless Clones

Chapter 179: Talent Change (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A 30% increase in Stamina Recovery Speed was even more useless.

In a battle between cultivators at the Long Breath Stage and above, the true focus was on spiritual essence.

As long as one’s spiritual essence wasn’t exhausted, their stamina wouldn’t either.

Overall, the “injury recovery speed +30%” seemed to be the only acceptable effect.

However, it was still far inferior to the other five talents.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Shen quickly made up his mind.

He would refresh his talent!

Of course, not now.

Tao Zongbao should be able to collect a batch of natural treasures soon. Lin Shen would let the Perseverance clone digest them before refreshing the talent.

It was to maximize efficiency.

After making up his mind, Lin Shen took a deep breath, restrained his distracting thoughts, and began to comprehend Seven Arts Sword Energy

Before mastering any spells, he wouldn’t be a true Bright Aperture Stage cultivator.

Whether it was cultivating or using spells, he would need spirit supplements.

Different spells required different spirit supplements, but most of them had something to do with Yin and Yang or the Five Elements.

For example, the Seven Arts Sword Energy required golden energy, which was part of the Five Elements.

This kind of spirit supplement was relatively easy to find.

Basically, any natural treasure relating to metal contained golden energy, but the quantity differed.

For example, there was a lot of black iron in Lin Shen’s storage ring. It was mostly the spoils of war obtained after killing his enemies. He could draw out the golden energy from there.

Also, the Golden Flying Arrow that he won in the guidance battle also contained golden energy.

For the foreseeable future, Lin Shen wouldn’t have to worry about lacking spirit supplements for Seven Arts Sword Energy.

Lin Shen took out a piece of black iron and extracted a trace of golden energy from it before trying to cultivate Seven Arts Sword Energy.

What surprised him was that his clone actually didn’t need spirit supplements to cultivate spells!

At first, Lin Shen was very surprised and couldn’t figure out why that was.

But on second thought, if it could be explained, why would it be called a shortcut?

Hence, he accepted it with a clear conscience.

Spells were much more difficult to cultivate than ordinary martial techniques, and it was almost as difficult as cultivating Path-stage martial techniques.

Lin Shen cultivated the Nine Yang Scripture as he comprehended spells. He forgot the passage of time.

While Lin Shen was immersed in his cultivation, the news of his advancement to the Bright Aperture Stage had already spread throughout the academy like the wind. As expected, it caused a huge uproar.

“Bright Aperture Stage…”

Xie Jingsheng stared at the paper crane in his hand in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

He knew he was exceptionally talented. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to suppress all the disciples of influential families with his commoner background.

Even though he had his tutor’s support, if he wasn’t talented enough, he wouldn’t have been able to do this.

This was something that even the disciples of influential families couldn’t deny!

Even so, it still took him more than two years to break through to the Bright Aperture Stage after entering the academy.

As for Lin Shen?

It had been less than a year since he entered the academy.

To be able to advance to the Bright Aperture Stage in such a short period of time, just how much potential did Lin Shen have?

After a long while, Xie Jingsheng recovered from his shock. He sighed and bowed slightly to the tall figure in front of him.

“Master, you’re very perceptive and have long discovered how extraordinary Junior Brother Lin is!”

Si Yuanpei sat upright with his eyes closed. Only then did he slowly open his eyes and shake his head.

“Lin Shen is doing even better than I expected.

“It seems that the upper house will have another disciple who isn’t from an influential family in the rank challenge in two months.”

Xie Jingsheng was stunned. He frowned and said, “Master, Junior Brother Lin has just advanced to the Bright Aperture Stage. Among the upper house disciples, even Yan Jingren, who has just been promoted, is at the third level of the Bright Aperture Stage. No matter how talented Junior Brother Lin is, he shouldn’t have become strong enough to defeat Yan Jingren in just two months, right?”

Si Yuanpei said calmly, “Has Lin Shen made any achievements that were within everyone’s expectations?”

Xie Jingsheng was speechless.

He wavered when he thought of the Path-stage martial technique that Lin Shen had already mastered before his breakthrough.

“See? I was right!

II

In the Night Dream Club, Yang Zhongyi slammed the table and laughed.

“I knew it. When Lin cultivates, it’s like he ate an immortal pill. I knew it wouldn’t be long before he advanced to the Bright Aperture Stage. Look, he broke through in less than a month. I have sharp eyes, don’t I?”

Su Nian rolled his eyes and ignored Yang Zhongyi’s bragging.

However, under the calm surface, he was also inexplicably shocked.

He had guessed that Lin Shen would definitely advance to the Bright Aperture Stage soon, but he didn’t expect it to be so fast!

He and Yang Zhongyi were only at Level 3 of the Long Breath Stage. Lin Shen’s help had shortened the time needed to break through the bottleneck of the Qi Transformation Stage. Otherwise, they might only be at Level 1 of the Long Breath Stage now.

Su Nian, Yang Zhongyi, and Lin Shen’s cultivation levels used to be similar back then, but now, the difference was like heaven and earth. Su Nian couldn’t help but sigh.

Even Su Nian’s cousin, who had been the most talented disciple in the academy back then and had left many legends in the sect until now, was probably now as talented as Lin Shen.

“Bright Aperture Stage? Really?”

Leng Xing stared blankly at the flying crane messenger in his hand, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although he had always heard about how talented Lin Shen was, he had never really seen it.

Only then did he truly realize how incredible Lin Shen’s talent was!

A twenty-year-old Bright Aperture Stage cultivator!

Becoming a cultivator master before the age of 25 was a sure bet for Lin Shen!

To say that he would have a bright future would be an understatement!

Yan Xing stood next to Leng Xin, looking as if he was in a daze.

Losing miserably to Lin Shen in the disciple rank challenge had always been his nightmare.

Even now, he had yet to get over it. Otherwise, when he saw Lin Shen previously, he wouldn’t have seemed so scared.

Yan Xing had thought of cultivating to increase his strength so that he could defeat Lin Shen one day and cure his trauma.

However, after the battle with the Tiger Tribe, the news that Lin Shen had mastered a Path-stage martial technique and killed an Enlightening Stage demon gave Yan Xing a heavy blow. His determination almost collapsed.

Before he could recover from that shock, there was news of Lin Shen advancing to the Bright Aperture Stage!

At this moment, Yan Xing finally realized how big the gap between him and Lin Shen was!

He would probably never be able to defeat Lin Shen in a head-on confrontation in his life!

“Yan Xing, what’s wrong?”

Noticing that Yan Xing’s face was pale, Leng Xing pushed his shoulder in confusion.

Yan Xing came back to his senses and forced a smile.

“I’m alright.”

Leng Xing didn’t think too much about it. Instead, he frowned and said, “I didn’t expect Lin Shen to be so talented. He’s already at the Bright Aperture Stage now. After a while, won’t he be able to challenge the upper house disciples?”

Yan Xing’s heart skipped a beat.

Among the top ten disciples of the upper house, Yan Jingren was the least experienced and had the lowest cultivation level. Considering the grudge between Lin Shen and the Yan family, if he really wanted to challenge the upper house disciples, it was obvious who he would choose as the target!

However, Yan Xing immediately calmed down.

Currently, his family was doing their best to open the underground spirit cave in the depths of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range. Once it was successfully opened, his brother’s cultivation would definitely advance by leaps and bounds.

At that time, if Lin Shen dared to challenge his brother, he would definitely be beaten up until his teeth were all over the ground!

Right?

Yan Xing wanted to slap himself when that question came into his mind.

How could he doubt his brother’s strength?

On the other side, Leng Xing didn’t notice that Yan Xing’s expression was changing. He had already forgotten about Lin Shen and started sighing.

“I wonder which bastard spread the news to my father. He has confiscated my token for the city gate. What should I do?”

Yan Xing came back to his senses and secretly shook his head.

He really didn’t know what Master Leng was thinking. What was wrong with going out of the city to train? Did he have to watch his son like watching a prisoner?

If he was afraid that his only son would be in danger, he could just give him a few more enchanted armaments to protect himself.

He couldn’t keep his son in the city forever, right?
