I Have Countless Clones Chapter 136 – Chapter 136: Clone 6, Well–Versed (2)

Chapter 136: Clone 6, Well-Versed (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

[Number of clones: 6 (9%)]

“One Perfection-stage martial technique increases the progress by 25%, doesn't it?

“In that case, only five Perfection-stage martial techniques of the same type can create a higher-stage martial technique.”

Lin Shen muttered to himself thoughtfully.

This condition was not too harsh.

For ordinary cultivators, cultivating five martial techniques to Perfection was undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

One might not be able to do it even if one spent seven to eight years.

…..

After all, it was easy to reach Proficient and Mastery, but it was very difficult to reach Perfection without sufficient talent and certain opportunities.

However, he was different. With his clone, there was no bottleneck for him to cultivate martial techniques.

As long as he was willing to invest time in cultivation, he would be able to continuously improve his stage. It was only a matter of time before he broke through to Perfection.

Moreover, with the enhancement of his talent, he could cultivate martial techniques at a tremendous speed.

What was worth mentioning was that in the past few days, Lin Shen had also verified one thing.

The progress of Perfection-stage martial techniques could only be increased by fusing Perfection-stage martial techniques.

Apart from that, no matter how much time he spent cultivating, the new Meltdown's progress wouldn't increase by even one percent.

“Meltdown only needs to fuse two more martial techniques to break through. The Forbidden Golden Armor needs three.

“With five martial techniques, 1 can cultivate them to Perfection in two months at most.

“Wait, actually, it might be faster to go to the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range to improve the martial arts through Testify by Killing.”

Lin Shen suddenly thought.

Considering that he would definitely need a large number of martial arts techniques to increase his martial arts stage in the future, he would need a lot of merit points.

If he went to the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range to train, he could complete the mission and earn merit points. It was killing two birds with one stone!

Thinking of this, Lin Shen quickly made a decision.

He would go to the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range to train!

“I'll go to the Merit Hall to exchange for martial techniques first!”

Thinking of this, Lin Shen immediately went out and rushed to the Merit Hall.

The seventh clone's condensation progress was 0.5% per day.

In other words, it would take a full 200 days to condense.

This wasn't beyond Lin Shen's expectations.

In fact, the condensation time of the previous clones had already shown the corresponding pattern.

Each one needed more time than the previous one.

By the time the eighth or ninth clone was formed, the time needed to condense it would probably be measured in years.

Not long after, Lin Shen arrived at the Exchange Hall.

After receiving the exchange list from the staff on duty at the counter, he immediately flipped to the martial technique list and carefully browsed through it.

As a thousand-year-old sect, the Nine Suns Sect had an incomparably deep foundation and collected thousands of martial techniques.

Even if only a portion of it was placed in the academy for the disciples to exchange, there were still more than a thousand of them.

However, there were many types of martial techniques.

In the non-weapon category alone, there were palm, fist, finger, leg, movement technique, Physical Enhancement, sound wave, and so on.

As for weapons, there was a dazzling array of them.

Sabers, swords, spears, halberds, axes, whips, truncheons, hammers, spears… You name it.

In addition, there were all kinds of hidden weapons.

Therefore, even if there were thousands of martial skills, there were still not many martial skills of the same type.

After spending more than ten minutes browsing through the entire martial arts exchange list, Lin Shen finally found only 42 palm techniques and 23 Physical Enhancement martial arts.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Shen quickly chose the martial technique he wanted to exchange for.

Bronze Hammer Hand, two minor merits.

Sky Rainbow Palm, two minor merits.

Bone Forging Technique, three minor merits.

Great Rock Scripture, five minor merits.

Divine Elephant Technique, five minor merits.

Lin Shen originally had 15 minor merits. During the level challenge, he had obtained a minor merit from Yan Xing, but when he challenged Yan Dao, he paid another two minor merits. After that, he only had 14 minor merits left.

However, after advancing to an Earth-rank disciple, his monthly fixed treatment increased to five minor merits.

Moreover, he had already received this month's merit points, so he now had a total of 19 minor merits.

The five martial techniques cost a total of 17 minor merits. After exchanging them, he only had two minor merits left.

This was also because Lin Shen had specially chosen less expensive martial techniques. Otherwise, 19 minor merits points would probably not be enough.

“Looks like I have to earn merit points quickly.”

These five martial techniques could only allow Meltdown and Forbidden Golden Armor to break through. After that, there were still martial techniques like Shadows and the Supreme Yang Swordplay that needed to break through.

It would require a lot of merit points!

After leaving the Exchange Hall, Lin Shen turned around and walked towards the Mission Hall, preparing to choose a mission.

After spending some time, he chose seven or eight suitable missions. Lin Shen went to the counter to register and receive the token. He saw Jiao Yu's bright smile.

When Lin Shen stepped into the hall, the girl had already noticed him. Her gaze was fixed on Lin Shen. It was only when Lin Shen came to the counter that she smiled and said, “Senior Brother Lin, congratulations on becoming an Earth-rank disciple!”

“Thank you.” Lin Shen smiled and nodded. He didn't ask how Jiao Yu knew.

Being on duty in a place like the Mission Hall, Jiao Yu was probably more well-informed than him. It wasn't surprising that he knew about this.

Not to mention that this matter had already caused quite a stir in the academy.

Jiao Yu smiled. As she helped Lin Shen register the mission, she secretly sized up Lin Shen from time to time, her eyes filled with surprise.

Who knew how shocked she was when she heard that Lin Shen had advanced to an Earth-rank disciple?

He was dumbfounded.

Not long ago, she was still worried about whether Lin Shen could keep his spot as a Black-rank disciple.

Who would have thought that Lin Shen would directly become an Earth-rank disciple?

Being promoted to an Earth-rank disciple three months after entering the academy was completely beyond Jiao Yu's understanding.

This Senior Brother, who seemed mysterious at first, became even more unfathomable!

Not long after.

Mission registration was completed.

When arranging the mission, Jiao Yu suddenly thought of something and reminded Lin Shen.

“By the way, Senior Brother Lin, according to the other disciples who came back from training, there seems to be many spiritual beasts outside the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range recently. Remember to be careful when you go there!”

Lin Shen was slightly stunned. He recalled what Yang Zhongyi had once mentioned to him, and a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.

However, he quickly regained his senses and smiled at Jiao Yu.

“I see. Thank you.”

“You're welcome.”

Jiao Yu smiled brightly and watched Lin Shen walk out of the Mission Hall.

After leaving the Merit Hall, Lin Shen didn't leave the city immediately. Instead, he returned to the wooden building and prepared to comprehend the five martial techniques for Beginner.

In any case, he had accepted a lot of missions this time. The time limit of the talisman was two months, so it wasn't a problem to delay for a few days.

…..

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

After cultivating with all his might, he successfully reached Beginner in the five martial techniques.

Looking at the five additional martial techniques in the cultivation technique column on the interface, Lin Shen nodded in satisfaction.

Next, he had to rely on the Testify by Killing talent to increase his martial arts stage.

Without any delay, Lin Shen immediately left the Nine Yang Academy and returned to his villa in the East District.

Not long ago, he had gone to the True Martial Pavilion to sell a portion of the natural treasures in exchange for enough spirit coins and bought the villa at a premium.

Now, this villa was his property.

After advancing to the Long Breath Stage, Lin Shen no longer needed to worry about money.

Any of the natural treasures in the storage bag could be sold for hundreds of thousands of spirit coins in the True Martial Pavilion.

In fact, this was also why cultivators were at the top of the social ladder in society.

The higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the lower their dependence on money.

A fraction of what they earned might be a sum that ordinary people would never be able to earn even if they worked hard for their entire lives.

Money was just a number to them.

What really interested them was no longer something that money could buy.

For example, various enchanted armaments, advanced pills, and advanced martial arts techniques.

These things weren't circulated in the market at all. Apart from joining the three major sects and their affiliated academies, it was almost impossible to obtain them through other normal means, no matter how much money was spent.

In the world of cultivators, circulating currency wasn't spirit coins, but other more valuable items.

For example, in the Nine Yang Academy, merit points were the currency.

As far as Lin Shen knew, the most common currency in the Nine Suns Sect was essence stones.

For example, the essence stone fragments he got from AL.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much!
