Chapter 36 The Fourth Clone
While the three of Lin Shen were talking, a chat was also going on in another box in the guild hall.

"So what about being first in the sparring competition?"

Lu Zijun snorted heavily, with no concealment of disdain on his face.

"It's just a competition between ordinary students, and only people from a poor background like Su Nian will participate."

"The real test of strength is the big test in a month's time!"

"Those who perform well in the exam can be called the real elites, the real geniuses!"

In the luxuriously decorated box, there are more than 20 children from aristocratic families sitting around, all of whom have obtained the qualifications of the big exam.

Yan Xing and Zhao Xueying were also among them.

After listening to Lu Zijun's words, most of the people present showed deep approval.

Didn't they just feel that the so-called sparring competition would not be on the table, so they didn't sign up for it.

Otherwise, what would happen to those ordinary students?

However, there were also objections.

"That's what you say, but the others are fine. Lin Shen and Su Nian are very strong. After all, it is the Dacheng Realm Blazing Sun Palm. Few of us have cultivated the Blazing Sun Palm to this level. .”

The children of the aristocratic family have sufficient cultivation resources to support them, and their cultivation is generally far superior to that of ordinary students.

But for things like martial arts, even if there is a famous teacher to teach them, it is difficult to improve quickly without enough talent and aptitude.

Among the more than 20 descendants of the aristocratic families present, including Yan Xing and Zhao Xueying, no more than one palm can cultivate the Blazing Sun Palm to the Dacheng state.

There is not even a single person in the Perfect state.

"These two do have some talent."

Lu Zijun shrugged and snorted.

"But that's all."

"The big test assesses a person's comprehensive strength, including cultivation base, martial arts realm, martial arts collocation and actual combat skills!"

"Lin Shen and Su Nian can barely be called good in the first two points, but the last two points are lackluster!"

"Especially Lin Shen, he doesn't even come from Hanpu, the only martial skill he cultivates is Chiyang Palm, and he doesn't even have a light body skill, far inferior to us!"

"As for actual combat skills, they are also very average!"

When it came to the last point, Lu Zijun wanted to criticize again, but then he remembered the scene of Lin Shen fighting Su Nian that he saw during the day.

Strictly speaking, the fighting skills were not much inferior to theirs, and it was against my will to belittle them, so I changed my words to be vague.

However, many people have already nodded their heads.

"Zijun is right. Lin Shen and Su Nian certainly deserve our attention, but we can't talk about fear."

"That's right, which one of us hasn't prepared for the big exam for a long time, and still has to be afraid of a commoner and a poor student?"

"The ones that really deserve our attention are the children from other academies. I have received news that there are many more children from aristocratic families taking part in the Nine Suns Dao Academy Examination this year than in previous years!"

"Hey, I'm not afraid, I'm just waiting to show my prowess in the big exam!"

"Just blow it up, you still want to show off your supernatural power with your six-level aerodynamic cultivation? The ones who can really show off your supernatural power are Yan Shao and Sister Ying!"

"That's right, Yan Shao and Sister Ying's strengths are definitely the top among those taking the exam!"

Facing the compliments and flattery from everyone, Yan Xing just smiled lightly, picked up his teacup and took a sip.

He didn't pay attention to the argument just now.

In other words, from the beginning to the end, he did not take Lin Shen and Su Nian seriously.

It's just a mere sixth floor, it doesn't deserve his attention at all.

If it wasn't for Dacheng Realm Blazing Sun Palm, he wouldn't even be surprised.

As for the so-called civilian geniuses, they are even more trivial.

The way of practice, wealth, law and land are indispensable.

Without a sufficient supply of resources, no matter how good the qualifications are, they will not go far.

The gap between ordinary people and the children of aristocratic families cannot be bridged by mere aptitude.

"However, Lin Shen is worth cultivating. We'll see after the big exam. If he performs well enough, give him a chance to follow me." Yan Xing thought secretly.

After entering the monastery, he also tried to start building his own team.

People like Lin Shen still have value in attracting and cultivating.

At least better than a waste like Zhou Zhihai!

Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of a chair being pushed aside.

Followed by Zhao Xueying's voice.

"I'm full, let's go first."

Yan Xing came back to his senses, got up quickly, and said to Zhao Xueying with a gentle smile:

"I'll take you back."

"no need."

Zhao Xueying refused with a flat face.

"Also, don't call me for such boring dinners in the future."

Yan Xing's smile faltered, and he was about to speak, but Zhao Xueying turned around and left without giving any face.

Watching Zhao Xueying's figure disappear at the door, the haze in Yan Xing's eyes flashed away.

The dinner in the guild hall lasted until after ten o'clock in the evening, and the host and guests had a good time.

Lin Shen got his wish and learned a lot of information about the big exam from Yang Zhongyi.

After the dinner, he declined Yang Zhongyi's proposal to stay and experience the service on the fourth floor, and left the clubhouse with Su Nian, who was also not interested in it.

"If I have time, I will go to Taiyang Martial Arts Hall, and then we can compete!"

Before leaving, Su Nian said to Lin Shen with piercing eyes.

Looking at his expression, Lin Shen could tell that he was still brooding about his defeat in the sparring match, and wanted to get back on the field.

"Okay, I'll be there anytime."

There is an opponent who can increase combat experience, Lin Shen naturally will not refuse.

Back home, Lin Shen immediately summoned Clone No. 2, took out a Zhengyuan Pill for him to take, and then meditated and breathed out to try the effect of Zhengyuan Pill.

Then, he called out the panel.

【Clone No. 4】

[Condensation completed, current progress 100%]

After 20 days, the fourth clone is finally condensed!

Lin Shen suppressed the joy in his heart, and with a thought, a phantom instantly separated from his body, and quickly condensed the phantom into reality.

【Clone No. 4】

[Talent: Dan Xin Tong]

[Boundary: Pneumatic Seventh Floor 48%]

【Current practice: None】

"Dan Xintong? What kind of talent is this?"

Lin Shen was very curious, and quickly looked at it intently.

[Alchemy Soul Child: Alchemy success rate +30%, pill quality improvement rate +50%]

"A talent for alchemy?"

Lin Shen was slightly disappointed.

Alchemists have a very high status in Linlong City, belonging to the proper upper class.

A formal alchemist of the lowest rank is no worse than a monk in terms of status.

But the problem is that to become an alchemist, at least one must have the cultivation base of Mingqiao Realm, as well as huge financial support, no matter which condition Lin Shen can't meet now.

Taking a step back, even if the conditions can be met, Lin Shen doesn't want to take the alchemist route.

He even hopes to become a monk with great power attributed to himself!
Of course, specialization is not enough, but part-time jobs are still possible.

Lin Shen doesn't mind learning alchemy when he has more time to spare.

But at this stage, alchemy talent is of no use to him.

Fortunately, Lin Shen didn't expect to be able to draw an outstanding talent in one go, so he quickly calmed down his disappointment, let the clone No. 4 kill himself, and waited for tomorrow to refresh his talent.

An hour later, Clone No. 2 absorbed the medicinal power of Zhengyuan Pill, and his cultivation progress increased by 3%.

"That's right, the effect is much better than Quen Yuan Pill and Ningzhen Liquid!"

The joy in Lin Shen's eyes flashed away.

There are 12 Zhengyuan pills in a bottle, which can increase the progress of cultivation by 36% in total.

Adding one liter of condensed essence liquid is enough for him to break through to the eighth level of pneumatics!
