I Have Countless Clones

Perseverance

About half an hour later.

The training ended.

Lin Shen stood on the spot, panting and sweating profusely as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Most of the strengthened ceramic plates in the shield pocket had been shattered. Although he wasn’t injured, he felt dull pain all over his body. Those places were probably bruised.

Seeing that Yang Zhongyi was only breathing a little faster, Lin Shen couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

They were only three levels apart, but the difference in their strength was so great.

It seemed that he had a long way to go before he could catch up with the disciples of the influential families.

He wasn’t worried. With his clones around, Lin Shen believed it wouldn’t be long before he caught up to them and even surpassed them.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Shen stretched his body.

Although it happened in a subtle way, he could feel the pain in his body quickly subsiding, and his stamina was quickly recovering.

The Perseverance talent was apparently doing its job!

Not far away, Yang Zhongyi let out a long sigh and gave Lin Shen a thumbs up.

“Impressive! Even the silver-tier coaches here can’t take a beating like you!”

Yang Zhongyi turned to look at Gao Jun.

“Gao, let him be my training partner in the future, and I’ll pay the price of a silver-tier training partner. How does that sound?”

Gao Jun was stunned for a moment. When he realized what Yang had offered, he immediately beamed with joy and agreed.

“No problem, Young Master Yang!”

After seeing Lin Shen’s potential, Gao Jun made up his mind to recruit the boy. Now that he heard Yang Zhongyi wanted the boy as a training partner, he naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Under Gao Jun’s instructions, a staff member soon brought a contract and a pen.

Gao Jun pointed at the contract and explained to Lin Shen,

“It’s your first day as a training partner here. Usually, you should start from the bronze tier. However, you’re quite lucky. Young Master Yang thinks highly of you and is willing to pay the price of a silver-tier training partner, 1,000 spirit coins an hour.”

Lin Shen’s eyes lit up.

1,000 spirit coins per hour!

That was more than his monthly allowance!

He knew a training partner in a martial arts school paid well, but he didn’t expect it to be so high!

If he worked two to three hours a day, the salary would be enough to buy a few kilos of spirit beast meat. It would help his cultivation efficiency greatly.

On second thought, although the salary was high, it wasn’t an easy job.

Lin Shen had only practiced with Yang Zhongyi for about half an hour, but his entire body was aching.

And this was with the help of Perseverance.

Other people might not even be able to work for a full hour a day.

The money earned might not be enough to make up for the damage to the body.

His head was racing, but Lin Shen didn’t think for too long. He skimmed through the contract and didn’t see any loopholes. Then, he signed his name.

Yang Zhongyi waited patiently at the side until Lin Shen signed his name.

He then smiled at Lin Shen. “Are you done resting? Can we come again?”

Lin Shen glanced at him. This Young Master Yang behaved quite differently from the rich heirs he had heard of before. Although his words and actions were a little frivolous, he didn’t show any arrogance. At least he wasn’t condescending or showing any superiority.

“Let’s do it!”

Lin Shen moved his neck around.

In just a short while, the soreness was mostly gone, and his stamina had almost recovered.

Perseverance was such an incredible talent!

When Yang Zhongyi saw this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he immediately smiled.

Only such an opponent could satisfy him!

Sounds of exchanging blows filled the fighting room once again!

…

It was past eight in the evening

when Lin Shen returned to the apartment and sat on the sofa.

“Fortunately, I have Perseverance. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lasted for an hour.”

After all, Yang Zhongyi was at Level 7 of the Qi Transformation Stage. Practicing with such an expert for an hour was a considerable burden for Lin Shen at the moment.

Fortunately, his efforts had paid off!

Lin Shen’s eyes lit up when he saw the bag beside him.

The salary of the training partners was paid on the same day.

After the training session, he received 1,000 spirit coins from Gao Jun on the spot. On the way back, he bought half a kilo of white-headed pork.

The White-Headed Pig was one of the spirit beasts that Dragonside City had bred on a large scale. Its meat was of the lowest grade among the commercially produced spirit beast meats. However, it was still spirit beast meat, and half a kilo had cost a total of 1,000 spirit coins.

This was the first time Lin Shen had seen real spirit beast meat. It looked no different from ordinary pork except that the color was a little brighter.

“I wonder how it tastes.”

...

Lin Shen took the pork into the kitchen to start working on it.

In less than twenty minutes, he made three bowls of lean meat noodles.

Lin Shen summoned his two clones and sat around the dining table, eating heartily.

To be honest, the white-headed pork didn’t taste very nice. It was even worse than ordinary pork.

However, after he chewed and swallowed it, it was as if he had swallowed a warm current. The sensation suddenly exploded in his abdomen and quickly entered his limbs and bones. His muscles and tendons seemed to have been soaked in a ball of warm water. A strange yet comfortable feeling spread throughout his entire body.

“No wonder it’s said that spirit beast meat is very beneficial to the body!”

Lin Shen heaved a sigh in satisfaction and went on eating.

Before long, he and his two clones finished the meal like a tornado. Then, they immediately sat cross-legged and began to meditate.

Inside their bodies, where one couldn’t see with naked eyes, the gastrointestinal tracts of the three of them were wriggling ten times faster than that of ordinary people. They quickly digested the spirit beast meat, turning it into energy that was constantly being absorbed by their bodies.

Lin Shen felt that his body had become a shriveled sponge that was greedily devouring the converted energy.

Under the stimulation of the burning energy, the essence and blood in his body quickly tempered every muscle and bone.

...

After seven to eight minutes, the movements in his body slowly stopped.

Lin Shen opened his eyes and summoned the interface immediately.

[Name: Lin Shen]

[Talent: Above Average]

[Stage: Qi Transformation Level 4 4%]

[Cultivation Technique: Original Breathing Technique (Mastery 0%), Blazing Sun Palm (Beginner 59%)]

[Number of clones: 2 (48%)]

“My cultivation progress increased by 3%!”

Lin Shen was pleasantly surprised.

“No wonder the spirit beast meat is so expensive. One cultivation session after eating is equivalent to five to six days of cultivation in the past!”

That was why rich young heirs like Yang Zhongyi were already at the seventh level of the Qi Transformation Stage when they were about the same age.

Those young masters ate spirit beast meat and medicinal pills every day. It was impossible for his cultivation speed not to be fast.

He checked his two clones and saw their cultivation progress had also increased by 3%.

After retracting his two clones, Lin Shen’s cultivation level became “Qi Transformation Stage level 4, 10%”.

“At this rate, as long as I eat spirit beast meat every day, my cultivation will increase by at least ten percent a day. In seven days at most, I’ll reach the fifth level of the Qi Transformation Stage!”

Lin Shen took a deep breath, his eyes filled with joy.

Other people would scoff and think Lin Shen was dreaming when they were told he made it from Level 4 to Level 5 in eight days.

All the elite students in the third year of Willow Academy had cultivated for more than half a year before breaking through from the fourth level to the fifth level of the Qi Transformation Stage.

Even the disciples of influential families with sufficient cultivation resources could only shorten this time by half at most.

Rising one level in eight days

was simply unheard of!

Lin Shen realized once more the profundity and power of his clone. He couldn’t help but feel excited.
