Chapter 192: Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Just as Lin Shen had guessed, the next morning, the Martial Enforcement Hall came straight to the Nine Yang Academy to ask about what had happened the night before.
Lin Shen didn’t hide anything and told them about the attack.
Of course, he didn’t reveal Leng Guangting’s identity. He only said that the attacker was an unknown person and was very powerful. He was lucky enough to escape.
The flag officer of the Martial Enforcement Hall didn’t say anything and left after the inquiry.
It wasn’t until they walked out of the Nine Yang Academy that an officer said,
“Sir, this is too much of a coincidence. Not long after Lin Shen was attacked, something happened to Leng Guangting. Could the two be related?”
“Maybe.”
The flag officer frowned and looked at the entrance of the Nine Yang Academy behind him.
“However, if the Bright Aperture Stage cultivator who attacked Lin Shen really was Leng Guangting, how did Lin Shen escape from him?”
The officer who asked the question was instantly stunned and didn’t know what to say.
Indeed, Leng Guangting’s strength was obvious to all.
Even before consuming the Blood Spirit Pill, Leng Guangting, who had a profound armament, was undoubtedly one of the best among the many ninth-level Bright Aperture Stage cultivators.
Although Lin Shen was a genius, he had just advanced to the Bright Aperture Stage. No matter how they thought about it, it was impossible for him to escape from Leng Guangting.
Could it be that someone else had attacked Lin Shen?
The flag officer continued, “Moreover, although Leng Guangting was already seriously injured when he escaped, it’s impossible for Lin Shen to kill him alone, let alone in such a short period of time. It had to be a cultivator at the sixth or seventh level of the Bright Aperture Stage!”
Everyone felt that it made sense.
“Then it seems like Lin Shen has nothing to do with this.”
“Doesn’t this mean that we have another case? We also have to find the culprit who attacked Lin Shen!”
“Gosh, looks like we’ll be busy for a while!”
“If you have the time to complain, why don’t you think of a way to resolve the matter? The officers in the meeting last night were told off by Hall Master Xia. They’ll probably vent their anger on us later!”
Hearing the flag officer’s words, everyone immediately wailed.
After the people from the Martial Enforcement Hall left, Lin Shen suddenly thought of Ai.
The villa had already turned into ruins, so she probably had nowhere to go now.
Sure enough, when he returned to the ruins of the villa, he saw Ai standing in the ruins, looking like she had been struck by a bolt from the blue.
When she saw Lin Shen, she pounced on him with tears in her eyes.
After some effort, Lin Shen comforted Ai and asked her to stay at Sinking Moon for a few days. She would come back after he bought a new place.
Late at night, in the academy’s wooden building.
Lin Shen sat on the floor of the training room and looked at the void in front of him.
[Clone 1 (Dead), Remaining Resurrection Time: 00: 02:12]
Time passed minute by minute. The moment it reached zero, Lin Shen summoned his clone without hesitation.
However, when he took a closer look at his talent, his expression immediately became rather strange.
[Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt: Cultivation Speed +200%, Lifespan -80%]
Was this the advanced version of God’s Jealousy?
Lin Shen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he was immediately lost in his thoughts.
Cultivation speed +200%. This was undoubtedly a super talent!
It was twice as fast as God’s Jealousy!
Even if the side effects of lifespan decreasing by 80% were a little exaggerated, Lin Shen didn’t intend to give up.
“The lifespan of Bright Aperture Stage cultivators can generally reach 170 to 180 years. After deducting 80%, they can still live to their thirties.”
Lin Shen nodded to himself.
In that case, the clone still had more than ten years left.
That was long enough.
However, in this case, he couldn’t let this clone consume any more heavenly treasures that would reduce its lifespan.
Otherwise, his clone might die in a few months.
Lin Shen couldn���t bear to lose the powerful buff that increased his cultivation speed by 200%.
“Let the Superior Martial Arts clone take it.”
Currently, among the clones, the Superior Martial Arts talent was relatively the easiest to replace. Even if it was gone, Lin Shen wouldn’t feel sorry. He might even be able to change to a better talent.
“However, it’s better not to switch talents casually. If I accidentally screw myself over, I won’t even have a place to cry.”
Shadow-staying TechniqueLin Shen thought for a moment and restrained the thought of using Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt on himself.
After all, there was too little room for mistakes with this talent. The user would only have 20% of their lifespan left. If his lifespan wasn’t 170 or 180 years as he had expected and was 150 or even lower, he might drop dead suddenly.
Although the possibility wasn’t high, Lin Shen still didn’t want to take the risk.
In any case, it would take him a little longer to cultivate. It didn’t matter.
“God’s Jealousy and Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt. I wonder if there are any more exaggerated talents than these two.”
After his thoughts scattered for a moment, Lin Shen focused on cultivating.
In the following period of time, Lin Shen took the time to refine the inkstone and successfully controlled this profound armament.
After that, he made a few trips to the Eastern District to find a new house. After Ai moved in, he stayed in the academy and focused on cultivating.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
With Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt, Lin Shen’s cultivation progressed very quickly. In a month, he successfully advanced to the third level of the Bright Aperture Stage.
During this period, he also successfully mastered four spells, the Water Mirror Technique, the Riding Wind Technique, the Lightning Palm Technique, and the Paper Man Movement Technique.
At the same time, he cultivated four palm techniques to Perfection and advanced Meltdown’s stage.
