I Have Countless Clones

[Name: Lin Shen]

[Talent: God’s Jealousy]

[Stage: Long Breath Level 1, 82%]

!!

[Cultivation techniques: Origin Breathing Technique (Perfection), Blazing Sun Palm (Perfection), Shadows (Perfection), Mortal Restrain (Beginner, 94%), Dragon Roar Through the Clouds (Proficient, 25%), Meltdown (Beginner, 17%), Forbidden Golden Armor (Beginner, 3%)]

[Number of clones: 5 (8%)]

Looking at the data on the interface, Lin Shen heaved a long sigh of relief, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

After more than ten days, he finally reached Beginner in Meltdown and Forbidden Golden Armor.

In this way, his martial arts system was even more perfected.

For speed, he had Shadows!

For defense, he had Forbidden Golden Armor!

For attack, he had Blazing Sun Palm!

For group battles, he had Dragon Roar Through the Clouds!

He had the Meltdown Technique to deal with weapons!

Although he wasn’t without weaknesses, at least there were no obvious flaws.

“It would be even better if I could master another long-range attack martial technique!”

Although the Dragon Roar Through the Clouds could also be used to attack enemies from afar, the distance was still very limited.

Even Proficient Dragon Roar Through the Clouds could only attack enemies within 50 meters.

Beyond this distance, its power would be greatly weakened.

This was when he could use his spiritual essence to perform Dragon Roar Through the Clouds after advancing to the Long Breath Stage.

If he was at the Qi Transformation Stage, the attack radius of Dragon Roar Through the Clouds was 20 meters at most.

This was the natural inadequacy of sound wave martial techniques.

In comparison, hidden-weapons martial techniques could release finger energy, palm force, and other martial techniques from afar, and the attack range would be further.

“Also, it’s best to choose a weapon-type martial technique.”

Lin Shen thought to himself.

To cultivators, cultivation was the most important, but martial techniques were also an indispensable part of strength.

Within his power, he had to perfect the martial arts system as much as possible to maximize his combat strength.

Moreover, Lin Shen had many clones, so he didn’t need to worry about diverting his attention like other cultivators.

After coming back to his senses, Lin Shen continued to look at the interface.

The sixth clone was already condensing. However, just like the previous few times, the time taken for the new clone to condense increased again.

On average, it would only increase by 1% in a day.

It would take a full 100 days to complete the process.

“More than three months… It’s alright. It’s not particularly long.”

Apart from that, Lin Shen also tested the consumption of clone materialization during this period of time.

After breaking through to the Long Breath Stage, the clone’s consumption-free radius had increased greatly to about 200 meters.

A single clone was enough to maintain a distance of about a thousand meters from Lin Shen for about five minutes.

However, after the distance was extended to 2,000 meters, the duration of its existence would drop sharply to about a minute.

Although it was far from meeting Lin Shen’s expectations, it was already much better than when he was at the Qi Transformation Stage.

“Next is the talent of the clone.”

Lin Shen looked at the void in front of him.

[Clone 5 (Death State), Remaining Resurrection Time: 00: 04: 34]

During this period of time, Clone 5 had revived a total of seven times. Unfortunately, none of the talents was what Lin Shen wanted.

[Full of Power: Physical Strength +30%, Stamina +50%]

[Good Eyes and Ears: Hearing +30%, Vision +30%]

[Warrior: combat skills+20%, combat skill comprehension speed+50%]

[Less Talented: Cultivation Speed -30%]

[Weak and Sick: Constitution -50%, Cultivation Speed -20%, Probability of Sickness +100%, Lifespan -30%]

[Inspiration: Chance of epiphany +30%]

[Deadly Aim: Hidden weapon cultivation technique cultivation speed +50%, hidden weapon cultivation technique power +30%, accuracy +50%]

Of the seven talents, only three were acceptable. They were Inspiration, Deadly Aim, and Full of Power.

However, after careful thought, he finally gave up on these three talents.

According to his personal experience during this period of time, the bonus effect of his talent was based on his original standard.

In other words, if Lin Shen’s epiphany probability was 0.01%, then Inspiration could only increase the probability to 0.013%.

There was almost no difference between the two.

...

Therefore, Inspiration wasn’t very useful.

As for Deadly Aim, although the enhancement effect was satisfactory, it was still too limited. It was only effective with hidden weapon cultivation techniques.

Although Lin Shen was prepared to cultivate long-range attack-type martial techniques, he didn’t intend to choose the hidden weapon.

He was more inclined to techniques that allowed him to release finger force, palm force, and other types of energy from afar.

Compared to the first two, Full of Power was slightly better.

If Lin Shen was still in the Qi Transformation Stage, he might have chosen this.

However, after a cultivator advanced to the Long Breath Stage, their combat strength mostly depended on their spiritual essence.

The effects of physical strength were greatly reduced, so the enhancement effect of Full of Power was naturally not as attractive.

While he was lost in his thoughts, the resurrection time had come to an end.

The moment the countdown reached zero, Lin Shen revived and summoned Clone 5.

[Clone 5]

...

[Talent: Testify by Killing]

[Stage: Long Breath Level 1, 82%]

[Current Cultivation: None]

Testify by Killing?

This talent sounded extraordinary!

Lin Shen immediately took a closer look.

[Testify by Killing: Attack-type cultivation technique cultivation speed+50%, combat skill comprehension speed+100%. Every time you kill a living being, there is a certain chance of obtaining an epiphany and increasing your cultivation or martial technique progress (The higher the cultivation level of the living being you kill, the higher the probability)]

“What great talent!”

Lin Shen’s eyes lit up.

This talent was much better than Full of Power or Deadly Aim!

The cultivation speed of attack-type cultivation techniques would be increased by 50%. That was a wide range.

Blazing Sun Palm, Dragon Roar Through the Clouds, and Meltdown were all covered. This talent had far exceeded the limitations of hidden weapon martial techniques only.

The speed of comprehension of combat skills would increase by 100%. Although it wasn’t as good as increasing combat skills by 100%, it was also extremely beneficial to Lin Shen’s growth in the long run.

However, what surprised Lin Shen, even more, was the last effect.

“Every time you kill a living being, there is a certain chance of obtaining an epiphany and increasing your cultivation or martial technique progress.”

This meant he could quickly increase his cultivation and martial arts stage through killing in the future!

There were spiritual beasts everywhere outside Dragonside City.

They were perfect for improving his cultivation level!

“Looks like I have to make a trip outside the city!”

Lin Shen was filled with joy. He wished he could go outside the city to train and test the effect of Testify by Killing right now.

However, in the end, he suppressed that thought.

“I know nothing about the situation outside the city now. It’s better to wait until I’m fully prepared before setting off.

“Besides, in two days, I’ll have to report to the academy.”

Lin Shen looked up in the direction of the central area,

which was where Nine Yang Academy was located.

“After the registration, I’ll prepare to train myself outside the city.”

Lin Shen quickly came up with a plan. He restrained his distracting thoughts and continued cultivating.

Now that his fifth clone had been condensed, his cultivation speed had increased by another level.

There were still two days left. If he focused on one martial technique, he might be able to raise the Forbidden Golden Armor or Meltdown by another stage.
