I Have Countless Clones Chapter 2: Two Clones

Chapter 2: Two Clones

When Lin Shen looked the other two people in the eye, he didn't seem surprised at all.

Not long after he came to this world, he suddenly realized there were two little figures in his mind. They looked exactly like him but were miniature in their size.

What was even more shocking was that these two little figures could cultivate in his mind. They didn't know what fatigue was and cultivated day and night. Moreover, the increase in their cultivation strength could all be reflected back to his own body!

He suddenly had two clones with outstanding cultivation speed!

Lin Shen was pleasantly surprised.

Today was the day for him to test the results.

Lin Shen activated his mind, and countless gray lines instantly appeared in front of him, interweaving into lines of distinctive words.

[Name: Lin Shen]

[Talent: Above average]

[Stage: Qi Transformation Level 3, 92%]

[Technique: Original Breathing Technique (Proficient 78%), Blazing Sun Palm (Beginner 46%)]

[Number of clones: 2 (40%)]

It was a very simple panel.

Lin Shen looked past the first three items and stopped at the last one.

In an instant, the words became blurry, and the lines quickly formed new words.

[Clone 1]

[Talent: Perseverance]

[Realm: Qi Transformation Level 3 92%+5%]

[Current Cultivation: Original Breathing Technique (Proficient 75%+10%), Blazing Sun Palm (Beginner 46%+5%)]

[Clone 2]

[Talent: Above average]

[Stage: Qi Transformation Level 3 92%+6%]

[Current Cultivation: Original Breathing Technique (Proficient 75%+12%), Blazing Sun Palm (Beginner 46%+6%)]

"Nice!"

A smile appeared on Lin Shen's face.

In five days, both clones had improved at least 10% in the Origin Breathing Technique and about 5% in the Blazing Sun Palm.

That was a considerable improvement!

When he created the two clones five days ago, the progress of the Origin Breathing Technique was only 75%.

After five days, his own progress only increased by 3% and was now 78%.

His clones were much more efficient!

That shouldn't be a surprise. After all, he couldn't cultivate without stopping or sleeping like his clones.

It was worth mentioning that in the same cultivation time, Clone 2 had made much bigger progress than Clone 1's. This was all thanks to his talent.

[Above average: Cultivation Speed+20%]

Clone 1's talent was relatively strange.

[Indomitable Perseverance: Resistance +50%, Stamina Recovery Speed +30%, Wound Recovery Speed +30%]

The clones could cultivate and provide feedback to his own body. Other than that, Lin Shen could also choose one of his clones' talents to give to himself to obtain the same effect.

Talents could be changed at any time, but he could only have one at a time.

He had chosen the "Above Average" talent that could increase his cultivation speed.

"Since there's an Above Average, there should be more powerful talents, such as Outstanding." The idea suddenly struck Lin Shen.

If Above Average could increase his cultivation speed by 20%, how much more efficient could a more advanced talent be?

Lin Shen's heartbeat quickened a little as he looked at the bottom of the interface.

[Clone 3]

[Condensing. Current progress: 40%]

"With 8% progress every day, I'll have a new clone in eight days. I hope I can have a stronger talent by then!"

Lin Shen then concentrated on the two motionless clones.

With a thought, the two clones instantly turned into two streaks of white light and entered his body with a whoosh.

The next second.

A large number of cultivation memories and comprehension suddenly appeared in Lin Shen's mind.

Meanwhile, he trembled slightly, and endless crisp sounds erupted from his body. It was as if his flesh and bones were constantly being beaten and tempered, becoming even tighter and stronger.

It lasted for seven to eight seconds before the sound slowly disappeared.

Lin Shen opened his eyes and exhaled the waste air in his chest. His spirit had visibly been lifted.

When he looked at the interface again, the "Stage" had changed to "Qi Transformation Level 4, 1%"!

"I've finally made a breakthrough!"

Lin Shen genuinely felt happy.

The previous owner of this body had been stuck at Level 3 for more than half a year. He finally broke through to Level 4!

"This cheat code is so useful. The efficiency of these two clones alone is more than ten times what I used to be!"

Lin Shen was filled with joy.

The path of cultivation was divided into stages. From low to high, the stages were known as Qi Transformation, Long Breath, and Bright Aperture.

Each stage was further divided into nine levels.

Among them, the Qi Transformation Stage marked the beginning of cultivation. Cultivators of this stage had to temper their bodies for a long time and guide their cultivation with their breathing. They would do this until their essence and blood were full. Only then could they sense Qi.

This was the so-called refinement of essence into qi.

All students of Willow Academy were at this stage, but there were differences in levels.

Once one had a sense of Qi, they could break through from the Qi Transformation Stage to the Long Breath Stage.

Cultivators of this stage had an abundance of Qi, and their bodies naturally generated the circulation of inner essence. With every breath they took, a great amount of strength would burst forth. A casual strike from them could weigh a few tons. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they could defeat a hundred people at once.

Those with profound cultivation knowledge could channel Qi throughout their bodies, causing their bodies to transform and prolong their lives.

Cultivators who had reached the Long Breath Stage would be considered elites in Dragonside City and obtain an enviable social status.

For example, most of the teachers in Willow Academy were at the Long Breath Stage.

Calm Sun Martial Arts School, that distributed fliers earlier, claimed to have Long Breath cultivators personally guiding their students. It was a gimmick they used to attract people to sign up.

As for the Bright Aperture Stage, the cultivators' physical strength was not much different from those of the Long Breath Stage. However, with the nourishment of true essence, the soul would gradually become stronger. Their spirit aperture would slowly open up, and they would have incredible spiritual responses.

Cultivators who had reached this stage could begin to use some extraordinary abilities, such as talismans and spells.

In Dragonside City, Bright Aperture cultivators were all considered to be high and mighty figures by ordinary people!

The three stages above were together known as the three mortal stages. They were the peak of mortal cultivation.

Once one transcended to a higher realm, one would be able to leap out of the fence and wash away the residual of this world. From then on, they would step onto the ultimate path of the cultivation world.

This world had a common name for such people—cultivator masters!

The ruling cla.s.s of Dragonside City was made up of cultivator masters!

Limited by his background and knowledge, Lin Shen knew very little about cultivator masters. However, from what he could remember, he felt cultivator masters were very similar to the immortal cultivators he knew of.

They could both fly on clouds and control water and fire!

They could also travel the world freely and live forever!

He wondered if the two were essentially the same and only differed in the way they were addressed.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Shen shook his head and temporarily threw this doubt to the back of his mind.

Cultivator masters were too far away from him now.

He was still a distance away from Bright Aperture and Long Breath Stages, not to mention the cultivator masters. It was better not to bite off more than he could chew.

The most important thing now was to increase his strength as soon as possible so that he could obtain the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the examination!

Without his clones, Lin Shen might find a suitable job after graduation and live his life as an office worker.

But now that he had the clones, everything was different.

Lin Shen could rely on his clones to rise to the top of this world. Once he had seen enough, he wouldn't want to become an ordinary person.

Joining the academies affiliated with the three major sects was his first step toward that future.

The four essential elements of cultivation were wealth, techniques, companions.h.i.+p, and location.

[Lin Shen, who came from a welfare inst.i.tute and had to rely on official subsidies for his tuition and living expenses, was very lacking in all four aspects.

His predecessor's progress had been slow, and he was unable to break through to Level 4 of the Qi Transformation Stage. Apart from his mediocre talent, it was also because he was impoverished and didn't have the money to buy a lot of meat to make up for his energy consumption.

If one didn't have enough meat to convert his essence into energy and blood, the cultivation process would cost them twice the effort with only half the outcome.

Only by joining the academies affiliated with the three major sects and entering a higher-level cultivation inst.i.tute could he obtain sufficient resources and powerful cultivation techniques, and only then would his cultivation path become smoother.

Therefore, Lin Shen's top priority was to obtain the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the examination!
