Chapter 115: Death of the Clone (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
More than half a month had passed, but Lin Shen had yet to receive any news from the Martial Enforcement Hall. He was happy to immerse himself in cultivation.
With the support of sufficient pills, spiritual beast meat, and a large number of natural treasures, Lin Shen's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. He only used three days to break through to the fourth level of the Long Breath Stage. Then, he used another 23 days to break through to the fifth level.
Apart from that, Dragon Roar Through the Clouds and Forbidden Golden Armor had both reached Perfection.
He also reached Beginner in both Supreme Yang Swordplay and Essence Sword Finger.
[Name: Lin Shen]
[Talent: God's Jealousy]
[Stage: Long Breath Level 5, 4%]
[Cultivation techniques: Golden Crow Scripture (Proficient 94%), Blazing Sun Palm (Perfection), Shadows (Perfection), Meltdown (Perfection), Forbidden Golden Armor (Perfection), Dragon Roar Through the Clouds (Perfection), Mortal Restrain (Proficient 45%), Supreme Yang Swordplay (Beginner 56%), Essence Sword Finger (Beginner 25%)]
[Number of clones: 5 (68%)]
"I've finally broken through!"
Lin Shen was overjoyed.
During this period of cultivation, he had already used up all the natural treasures he had obtained from Tao Zongbao. He only had less than a bottle of Condensing Pills left.
The cultivation resources he had spent were worth at least ten million spirit coins!
In the past, it would be unimaginable!
Fortunately, he had finally gained something from his efforts and successfully advanced to the fifth level of the Long Breath Stage.
"Now that my martial arts system is basically perfected, I just need to continuously increase my stage!"
Lin Shen was overwhelmed with emotions.
He now had a total of five martial techniques that had reached Perfection.
At his age, it was simply unimaginable.
Most of the disciples who entered the academy at the same time as him, and even the older students who had cultivated for a year or two more than him, had only learned three to four martial techniques.
Furthermore, very few of them had reached Mastery, let alone Perfection.
Not to mention that he had also cultivated the other two martial techniques.
If news of this got out, many people's jaws would drop.
With his cultivation at Level 5 of the Long Breath Stage and many martial arts techniques, Lin Shen's strength was already more than a little stronger than a month ago.
If he encountered Yuan Lifei and Ding Leng now, Lin Shen was confident that he could kill the two of them alone without relying on his clones!
Calming down from his joy, Lin Shen looked at the remaining half bottle of Condensing Pills beside him and took it. He threw his head back and swallowed the remaining six pills at once before starting to cultivate.
After advancing to the fifth level, the effect of the Condensing Pill on him was almost negligible.
Even if he consumed all six at the same time, the medicinal power could only last him for half an hour before he completely digested them.
His cultivation progress had only increased by about 1%.
"Looks like I have to change to a higher-grade pill."
Lin Shen's eyes flickered. He took out a Prime Pill from his storage bag and swallowed it. Then, he continued cultivating.
This time, he only opened his eyes after nearly two hours and heaved a sigh of relief.
"It increased my cultivation progress by 3%. Not bad."
Lin Shen nodded to himself.
He first obtained three Prime Pills from Ding Leng, then used the Mountain Phantom's hair to trade for Ai Jingting's 13 pills. He had a total of 16.
Now that he had used one, there were still 15 left. It was enough to take him halfway through the fifth level of the Long Breath Stage "In the future, I'll use the Prime Pill to assist in my cultivation."
Lin Shen had a plan in mind.
Just as he was about to continue consuming the Prime Pill, Lin Shen suddenly sensed something, and he immediately summoned the clone with God's Jealousy.
After the clone materialized, it immediately fell to the ground with a plop and didn't move.
Upon closer inspection, the clone's eyes were lifeless. It was dead!
Dead?!
Lin Shen was stunned.
When he returned to his senses, he was caught between laughter and tears.
Why did this clone suddenly die?
However, on second thought, it seemed reasonable.
To increase his cultivation, Lin Shen had been feeding God's Jealousy's clone with a large number of rare herbs that would reduce its lifespan, which was decreasing every day. That didn't help with its already shortened lifespan. It was already a miracle that the clone could last this long.
"It's a pity that I've lost God's Jealousy."
Lin Shen sighed softly.
The disappearance of God's Jealousy meant that not only did Lin Shen lose the powerful buff of cultivation speed +100%, but it also meant that he would no longer be able to let his clone consume rare herbs that reduced lifespan to quickly increase his strength in the future.
Unless he was willing to let his other clones do this...
Wait!
It didn't seem impossible!
Lin Shen rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
Superior Martial Arts, Testify by Killing, and the Pure Yang Gody were rather precious, and couldn't touch those clones.
However, as Lin Shen's strength increased, especially after breaking through to the Long Breath Stage, Perseverance was getting less and less important. Maybe that clone could take over the previous clone's task.
"I'll see what talent I get later."
A few steps away, the clone slowly dissipated.
[Clone 2 (Dead), Remaining Resurrection Time: 23:59:21]
Without the enhancement of God's Jealousy, Lin Shen's efficiency immediately decreased greatly when he cultivated the Golden Crow Scripture.
He simply switched to Superior Martial Arts and cultivated martial arts instead.
The next afternoon.
Lin Shen went to the Merit Hall to exchange for some Prime Pills.
However, as soon as he walked out of his residence, he saw a small paper crane swaying outside.
Seeing Lin Shen come out, the paper crane immediately flapped its wings and flew over.
Lin Shen reached out his hand and saw the paper crane obediently land in his palm. Then, with a flash of light, it automatically opened into a letter.
"A flying paper crane letter?"
Lin Shen clicked his tongue in wonder and picked up the letter to read it..
