[Spells: Seven Arts Sword Energy (Level 1, 89%), Palm Lightning (Level 1, 45%), Paper Man Movement Technique (Level 1, 23%), Riding Wind Technique (Level 1,16%), Water Mirror Technique (Level 1, 8%)]
[Number of clones: 6 (97%)]
Looking at the data on the interface, Lin Shen nodded in satisfaction.
Meltdown was only half a step away from breaking through. Then he would have ten Perfection palm techniques.
With his current cultivation speed, if he cultivated with all his might, he would be able to break through in about a month.
Of course, Lin Shen didn’t intend to do so. That wouldn’t be efficient enough.
In comparison, Testify by Killing was more efficient.
“Speaking of which, it’s been a while since I left the city. It’s time to do some missions. Not only can I benefit from the effect of Testify by Killing, but I can also earn some merit points in exchange for the Nurturing Pill.”
Calming himself down, Lin Shen looked at the spell column on the interface.
Because most of his energy was spent on improving his cultivation and martial techniques, as well as cultivating new spells, the Seven Arts Sword Energy had yet to break through to the second level.
But it was getting there.
With the talent of Testify by Killing, he might be able to break through after triggering the effect twice!
As for the four new spells, he only cultivated the Water Mirror Technique and the Riding Wind Technique because they would help him to train in the wilderness. Therefore, after comprehending them, he didn’t invest too much energy in ]them.
He was cultivating as he saw fit.
As for the Lightning Palm, although it was a relatively basic spell, it was quite powerful. It could counter demons and ghosts, and more importantly, it didn’t consume much spiritual essence.
In a situation where the opponent wasn’t strong, the Palm Lightning would be Lin Shen’s most commonly used spell.
The name Paper Man Movement Technique was very misleading. Just by looking at the name, one might think that it was a spell to move items around, but in fact, it was a type of talisman technique.
This spell was to cut the talisman paper into the shape of paper men or paper beasts and use them as a spirit supplement. Then, he would summon paper soldiers and control them.
The so-called paper soldiers were actually similar to talisman puppets.
They were more convenient to make. They didn’t need a large number of materials like the talisman puppet. He would only need a talisman paper.
However, in this way, the strength of the paper soldiers was very much a test of the spellcaster’s talent.
If the caster’s attainments in spells were profound enough, the paper soldiers he made would naturally be powerful and could even kill Enlightening Stage spiritual beasts.
However, if one’s attainments in spells were too poor, their paper soldiers would have difficulty in dealing with spiritual beasts of the Spirit Awakening Stage.
In short, the entry-level of this special spell was extremely low, but its upper limit was also unbelievably high.
At this thought, Lin Shen took out a yellow talisman from his storage ring.
The talisman paper had already been cut into a human shape. The handiwork was quite exquisite.
This was the spirit supplement to use the Paper Man Movement Technique.
There were many similar things, and they were all from Leng Guangting’s storage ring. They were all spirit supplements for various spells, and they all belonged to Lin Shen, now
The talisman paper was just the ordinary yellow type.
Such talismans could be divided into five grades according to the craftsmanship and the value of the materials: gold, silver, purple, blue, and yellow.
Among them, the golden talisman made of golden thread paper was of the highest grade, and the yellow talisman made of ordinary yellow paper was the lowest.
The level of the talisman paper would also affect the strength of the paper soldiers, but it wasn’t as obvious as the spellcaster’s attainments.
There were only purple, blue, and yellow talisman papers in Leng Guangting’s collection.
There were only two or three purple ones among them.
There were about 20 to 30 pieces of blue paper.
There were hundreds of yellow talismans, and they were all tailored spirit supplements, which were enough to cover Lin Shen for a while.
After playing with the talisman for a while, Lin Shen put it away and stood up to leave the training room.
Today was the disciple rank challenge that happened once every three months.
Probably no Earth-rank disciples would do the stupid thing to challenge Lin Shen, a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator, but there might be people who wanted to take chances, so he still went to watch the challenge.
At first, Lin Shen wondered if he should challenge the upper house disciples. However, after asking around, he realized that he actually had to apply for it at least two months in advance to challenge the upper house disciples.
After all, the disciples of the upper house were all busy. They would often cultivate in seclusion for months or go on long trips to gain experience. If they didn’t apply for it in advance, the upper house disciples might not have time to show up.
In that aspect, the upper house disciples still had preferential treatment compared to the lower house ones.
“Well, I’ll wait for next time.”
Lin Shen didn’t mind. He made the application and pointed out that he wanted to challenge Yan Jingren.
Then, before the disciple rank challenge ended that day, this news spread throughout the academy like a hurricane.
Nowadays, countless people in the academy paid attention to any news related to Lin Shen, not to mention something like challenging a disciple of the upper house.
As expected, this news caused quite a stir in the academy.
Before the disciple rank challenge ended this time, many people were already looking forward to the challenge three months later.
“Hahaha, I knew it. After breaking through to the Bright Aperture Stage, you’ll definitely challenge Yan Jingren. It’s as I expected!”
Yang Zhongyi laughed and patted Lin Shen’s shoulder.
Looking at his excited expression, those who didn’t know better would think that he wanted to challenge Yan Jingren.
What was worth mentioning was that Yang Zhongyi had originally accepted the mission to repair the White Tiger Mountain Cave Abode and collect materials in the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range. He had only rushed back at the last minute for the disciple rank challenge.
In this rank challenge, he and Su Nian had successfully advanced to Black-rank disciples.
“Lin Shen, I heard that you were assassinated last month,” Su Nian suddenly said.
Yang Zhongyi was shocked. He widened his eyes in shock.. “Is that true, Lin?”
