I Have Countless Clones - Chapter 76
Chapter 76 – 76 Blessed Place
“An alternate space… The Nine Yang Academy is actually in an alternate space!”
Even Lin Shen couldn’t help but be amazed when he saw this scene.
Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian had long known where the Nine Yang Academy was, so they were very calm.
“Rather than calling it an alternate space, it’s more appropriate to describe it as a paradise.”
Yang Zhongyi chuckled and said, “The spiritual essence here is much richer than outside. We can’t feel it clearly now, but after advancing to the Bright Aperture Stage, it’ll be a different feeling!”
!!
Lin Shen sensed it carefully and indeed realized his body had clearly become much lighter. He felt like he was transparent from the inside out.
He couldn’t sense or absorb the spiritual essence, but his body was nourished by it.
When he reached the Bright Aperture Stage and opened his spiritual aperture, he would be able to gradually sense spiritual essence, and the effect would be even more obvious.
“A blessed place…”
Lin Shen took a deep breath and suppressed the surprise in his heart. He walked towards the buildings in the distance with Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian.
At the entrance of the building complex stood a huge door that was nearly 100 meters tall and 30 meters wide. There were three large words engraved on it-Nine Yang Academy!
There were already nearly 200 people waiting in front of the door. Without exception, they were all new students this year.
Many people noticed Lin Shen’s arrival immediately and went forward to greet him. They were so enthusiastic that it was difficult to resist.
The disciples of the influential families also looked at him.
Among them were Zhao Xueying and Yan Xing.
Lin Shen didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt Zhao Xueying was looking at him strangely.
She looked surprised and hesitant.
However, Lin Shen didn’t think too much about it. He walked forward while responding to the enthusiastic greetings of the people around him.
As for Yan Xing… Lin Shen completely ignored him.
Seeing this scene, Yan Xing couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly, his face ashen.
When Lü Zijun saw this, he whispered,
“Young Master Yan, bear with it for now. After today, that brat will no longer have the confidence to be arrogant!”
Hearing this, Yan Xing took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He gritted his teeth and snorted at Lin Shen’s back.
He wanted to see if Lin Shen could still be as calm as he was now!
In a corner of the crowd.
Xue Feng and Chong Yanhe stood side by side and stared at Lin Shen’s back.
“Is Lin Shen really that powerful?”
“Didn’t you see the competition between Lin Shen and Zhao Xueying that day?”
“I came out later than you. By then, the battle between the two of them had already ended.” Chong Yanhe shook his head regretfully.
Xue Feng shrugged. “In any case, I’m definitely not Lin Shen’s match. This guy is a fierce person who defeated Yan Xing in one strike!”
“Is that so?”
Chong Yanhe narrowed his eyes.
From the looks of it, he was obviously still skeptical.
Seeing this, Xue Feng curled his lips.
Chong Yanhe was stubborn and strong-headed. He clearly knew Lin Shen’s strength from others, but he refused to believe it completely. He had to witness it with his own eyes.
After cursing inwardly, Xue Feng suddenly remembered something. He poked Chong Yanhe’s arm and whispered, “I heard the Yan family wants to give Lin Shen a hard time.”
Chong Yanhe glanced at him and corrected him.
“It’s not the Yan family but Yan Jingren. Yan Xing has probably begged him for help. Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao are among the Yellow-level disciples participating in the guided battle this year.”
“So it’s those two fellows!” Xue Feng suddenly realized.
Yan Jingren was an influential figure in the lower house. He had many followers all year round, including Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao. Logically speaking, these two people shouldn’t be participating in the guided battle. With their unusual choice, it was obvious that they were instructed by Yan Jingren.
Did Yan Xing go to his seniors to complain and take revenge after losing his own battle?
Xue Feng glanced at Yan Xing, who wasn’t far away, with disdain in his eyes.
The commotion in the crowd quickly subsided, and Lin Shen finally heaved a sigh of relief.
After that, more and more people arrived.
There were still more than ten minutes before the gathering time, and the 200 new students had already arrived.
When the time came, two figures suddenly rushed over from afar.
Their speed was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of everyone.
The figure suddenly stopped and revealed the faces of two young men in their twenties. They were dressed in black robes and had an imposing aura.
The two of them looked around, and the person on the left slowly nodded.
“Very good. All 200 people are here!”
“Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, welcome to the Nine Yang Academy. My name is You Hai, and I’m a Black-rank disciple of the lower house. Beside me is Yan Wansheng, also a Black-rank disciple of the lower house. Under the orders of the tutor, the two of us are in charge of leading the new students today.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother!” everyone said in unison.
Yan Wansheng smiled. “There’s no time to lose. Let’s go in first.”
Under the lead of Senior Brothers Yan Wansheng and You Hai, the new students entered the door one after another.
Behind the door was a mountain path that was nearly a thousand meters long. On both sides, there were stone Xiezhi statues placed at regular intervals. The style was exactly the same as the two stone Xiezhi statues in the previous building.
Every time someone passed by, the Xiezhi stone statue’s eyes would light up.
Seeing that many people were curiously sizing up the Xiezhi stone sculpture, You Hai smiled and explained,
“These are Xiezhi Talisman Puppets. They have the ability to differentiate between truth and false. They can see through heretic and evil intentions. Any disguise below the level of a cultivator master has no place to hide in front of them. Furthermore, every Xiezhi Talisman Puppet here has the combat strength of the Long Breath Stage.” Many new students were immediately surprised.
The seemingly ordinary stone statues had such a powerful ability.
More importantly, the Xiezhi Talisman Puppets sounded expensive, and there were at least a hundred Xiezhi stone sculptures on this mountain path. Just this alone showed how rich the Nine Yang Academy was!
After passing through the mountain path, everyone arrived at a square.
The square was wide, and it was estimated to be more than 10,000 square meters. It was ring-shaped, and dozens of thick stone pillars that were 40 to 50 meters tall stood at the edge. The surface was engraved with dense mysterious patterns that looked like formations. When the new students stepped into the square, they realized there were already many people there.
They were all young men and women in their twenties. Like You Hai and Yan Wansheng, they were all wearing Daoist robes and exuded an extraordinary aura.
They stood in groups of twos and threes. Their gazes were either scrutinizing, half-smiling, or curious as they kept sizing up the new students.
Lin Shen and the other two looked at each other and understood.
It was obvious that these people in the square were the Yellow-level disciples who had come to “guide” them today!
“Senior Brother You, Senior Brother Yan!”
A tall young man stepped out from the crowd and cupped his hands at You Hai and Yan Wansheng.
“Thank you for greeting the new students!”
“There’s no need for pleasantries.” Yan Wansheng waved his hand. “I know the rules. I’ll leave the rest to you for now..”
