I Have Countless Clones - Chapter 61
61 Has She Always Been So Straightforward
First place, Lin Shen, 1,156 points.
Second place, Zhao Xueying, 948 points.
Third place, Xue Feng, 899 points.
Fourth place, Chong Yanhe, 892 points.
!!
Fifth place, Wei Cheng, 803 points.
…
As the formation flag turned into clouds and dissipated in the air, Lin Shen’s score soared by 200 points again. He was in the first place and had more than 200 points more than Zhao Xueying, the second place.
Ke Ya and Cai Zhonggu looked at each other and saw the amazement in each other’s eyes.
In the past, although there were people who defeated the disciples of the 18 cultivation families and obtained first place in the examination, they were still from the declining old families and could almost be considered disciples of influential families.
As for ordinary students, this was the first time they had seen one after so many years.
Once this news spread, it would cause a huge commotion in the Nine Yang Academy!
After sighing for a moment, Ke Ya turned to Cai Zhonggu and said,
“Master Cai, since Lin Shen is the only one left, and he’s already ranked first, why don’t we end the examination here?”
“I agree. There’s no need to continue.”
Cai Zhonggu nodded with a smile. He swiped his hand across the formation disk and instantly, the water curtain in midair fluctuated. The image dissipated, leaving only the rankings.
At the same time,
a light flashed in the square, and Lin Shen appeared out of thin air in front of the crowd.
Swoosh!
In an instant, countless gazes landed on him.
Lin Shen was a little stunned.
He was about to head to the next hall to continue hunting the fog beasts and searching for formation flags when a thick fog suddenly appeared in front of him. When he came back to his senses, he had already returned to the square.
Moreover, many examinees were staring at him as if they were looking at some strange creature.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, Lin Shen noticed the water curtain in the air from the corner of his eye. He turned around and was instantly enlightened.
It turned out the exam had ended and he had already gotten first place.
What a pity. He was already prepared to fight the Long Breath Stage fog beasts. Who would have thought it would end so quickly?
“Not bad, kid!”
At some point, Yang Zhongyi arrived beside Lin Shen and punched his shoulder, his face full of surprise.
“Although I told you to amaze the world with a single feat, this is too shocking. You directly went for the chief disciple!”
Su Nian, who had also arrived, looked at Lin Shen with a complicated expression.
“I was just lucky,” Lin Shen said with a faint smile.
He meant it. Without the two formation flags, he would have 400 points less. In that case, he really couldn’t guarantee he would win first place.
After all, apart from the formation flags, his score was about the same as Zhao Xueying.
However, Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian didn’t think that way.
It was indeed lucky that he discovered the formation flags, but what kind of opponents did Lin Shen face those two times?
Yan Xing, Xue Feng, Zhao Xueying… All of them were strong candidates with great potential!
To be able to defeat these people and obtain the formation flags was proof of Lin Shen’s strength!
At this moment, Ke Ya’s voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire square.
“The exam is over. The top 200 candidates can stay. The rest can leave!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the square was filled with sighs.
The examinees who failed to enter the top 200 left with dejected expressions. Those who stayed behind were overjoyed.
After everyone had left, Ke Ya looked around and slowly said,
“First of all, congratulations on passing the examination. From today onwards, you’re all members of the Nine Yang Academy!”
Without waiting for the candidates to celebrate, Ke Ya changed the topic.
“However, remember not to get carried away and relax because even if you enter the academy, it doesn’t mean you can definitely graduate!
“The competition in the academy is far more intense than you can imagine.”
Ke Ya swept his gaze across all the candidates and said meaningfully,
“I’m sure you’ll experience this soon!”
After a few seconds of silence, Cai Zhonggu said,
“You have a month to prepare. One month from today, you’ll enter the academy and officially begin your cultivation journey!”
After saying this, the two tutors didn’t say anything else and turned to leave with the disciples.
However, before leaving, the two of them nodded at Lin Shen with smiles and warm expressions, making the examinees who saw this scene very envious.
After the two tutors left, the square became lively again.
Many candidates immediately squeezed around Lin Shen.
“Brother Shen, are you free later? Shall we have a meal together?”
“That’s right. Let’s just celebrate with everyone for passing the examination!”
“Brother Shen, I don’t quite understand some martial arts questions. May I ask you?”
“Brother Shen, we’ll be fellow disciples from now on. I feel so honored!”
The crowd almost drowned Lin Shen, making him feel like a panda in the zoo.
Lin Shen had defeated a group of prodigies with a crushing advantage and obtained the position of a chief disciple, which set a record. Apart from the disciples of the 18 cultivation families who could still be reserved, the rest, be it ordinary students or disciples of the declining old families, immediately came up to get close to him.
After all, anyone who wasn’t blind could tell Lin Shen had a bright future.
If they didn’t build a good relationship with him now, it would be too late to get close to him when he really became outstanding in the future.
After spending a lot of effort, Lin Shen finally managed to brush off the surrounding crowd.
Once the crowd dispersed, he rolled his eyes at Yang Zhongyi, who was smiling and watching the show. Then, he looked to the other side.
Zhao Xueying was standing five meters away, staring at him with her clear eyes.
It was also because of Zhao Xueying’s presence that the crowd dispersed so quickly.
“What’s the matter?” Lin Shen asked.
“What martial technique did you use just now?” Zhao Xueying asked.
“…It’s not polite to ask about other people’s martial techniques.”
To Lin Shen’s surprise, after hearing this, Zhao Xueying was slightly stunned. She actually nodded and admitted her mistake.
“You’re right. That was rude. I’m sorry.”
“… It’s alright. Is there anything else?”
Zhao Xueying shook her head and said seriously,
“You’re very strong. I hold no grudge toward you, but I won’t give up just like that. I’ll definitely defeat you in the future!”
Without waiting for Lin Shen’s response, she turned around and left.
Lin Shen turned to look at Yang Zhongyi. “Has she always been so straightforward?”
“She’s a martial arts practitioner. You’ll get used to it.”
Yang Zhongyi spread out his hands and suddenly leaned closer, whispering,
“I heard you offended Yan Xing badly this time. You have to be careful. That guy isn’t as broad-minded as he seems to be. He’s very petty!”
Lin Shen smiled and nodded calmly. “I understand.”
Seeing this, Yang Zhongyi didn’t say anything else. He waved his hand and smiled. “Let’s go to the Night Dream Club to celebrate. My treat tonight!”
In order to avoid being pestered by others again, the three of them didn’t stay any longer and hurriedly left the square.
