Five days later.
On a small hill.
Lin Shen looked into the distance at the Green Reed Pond a thousand meters away, his eyes flickering.
A few decades ago, the pond was a shallow beach. Now, it was covered by lake water and was hundreds of feet deep.
From afar, it was a beautiful scene under the sunlight.
Unfortunately, a group of demons who were fighting in the pond destroyed the beautiful scenery!
Green Reed Pond was Lin Shen’s first destination for this trip.
There were many Iron Bone Fish living in the water.
Around the rights of these Iron Bone Fish, a battle would break out between the two demon tribes every once in a while.
However, the two sides were similar in strength, and neither could do anything to the other, so they were in a stalemate.
“Looks like I came at the right time.”
Lin Shen looked up.
In the sky a hundred meters above the water, two black clouds were intertwining with each other. The sound of metal colliding came from inside, accompanied by loud shouts from time to time.
It was the battle between the two leaders of the demon race!
After watching the battle for a while, Lin Shen had a rough understanding of the strength of both sides.
Fortunately, the information marked on the map was correct. These two demons were indeed only at the mid-phase of the Enlightening Stage.
The clansmen of the two tribes below were at the Ascension Stage and the Spirit Awakening Stage. There were about 400 to 500 of them, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Lin Shen summoned the interface and looked at it.
[Name: Lin Shen]
[Talent: Testify by Killing]
[Stage: Bright Aperture Level 3, 75%]
[Cultivation techniques: Nine Yang Scripture (Proficient 71%), Meltdown (Path 65%), Forbidden Golden Armor (Path 15%), Cloud Dragon Rhythm (Path 5%), Nine Divine Sun Sword (Path 10%)…]
[Spells: Seven Arts Sword Energy (Level 2, 23%), Lightning Palm (Level 2, 12%), Paper Man Movement Technique (Level 2, 5%), Fixed Body Curse (Level 1,34% ), Riding Wind Technique (Level 1,18%), Water Mirror Technique (Leveli, 12%)]
[Number of clones: 6 (99%)]
After five days of training, his martial techniques and spells had improved significantly.
In the past five days, he had reached Perfection in seven martial techniques, improving four Path-stage martial techniques by different degrees.
However, his progress was still greater with spells.
The Seven Arts Sword Energy, Lightning Palm, and Paper Man Movement Technique had all broken through to the second level!
Meanwhile, the clones had also comprehended the Fixed Body Spell to Beginner.
As a result, the number of spells Lin Shen had mastered had increased to six.
“Only Five Qi Suppression and the Shadow-staying Technique left.”
Lin Shen nodded to himself.
When he and his clone hunted spiritual beasts together, they were shockingly efficient.
As he went deeper into the Great Swamp of the West, the demons he encountered became stronger and stronger. The number of times his Testify by Killing talent was triggered also increased, making his martial techniques and spells improve faster and faster.
As a result, the clone 1km away also began to be injured.
After all, his clone did not have Dharma treasures like the Black Peak Inkstone, Pure Yang Talisman Sword, and Cloud Suppression Robe like himself.
Apart from the Six Yang Talisman Sword and Bind Yang Gown, the clone only had some spirit supplements and recovery pills for casting spells.
In terms of combat strength, the Testify by Killing clone was much weaker than Lin Shen himself. In a prolonged battle, injuries were inevitable.
At this moment, the clone had just finished a battle and was recuperating and recovering his spiritual essence.
Since there would be a series of battles ahead, Lin Shen simply retracted his clone and let it recuperate. He might need to use his clone later.
As for Ai, she had long been put into the Beast Taming Pouch.
After swallowing a few Energy Recovery Pills and Revival Pills, Lin Shen seized the time to recover his spiritual essence while watching the battle in the distance.
The battle was at a stalemate. Both sides seemed to be tired of continuing and retreated.
The two demons cursed at each other in the air for a while before bringing the clansmen back to their respective nests.
Lin Shen pondered for a moment and quickly made his choice. He quietly followed the demons on the right.
Lin Chong returned to his nest with a dark expression. He found an excuse to whip a few servants to vent his anger. Then, he ordered someone to bring a few jars of wine and drank them in large mouthfuls.
“Damn it, that damned Inky Prawn always comes to oppose me!
“Just you wait. When I break through to the late phase of the Enlightening Stage, I’ll use him as a sacrifice!”
After cursing a few times, Lin Chong went back to his drinking.
He was the only one in the spacious stone house.
All the demons under him knew his temper. Every time he returned from a fierce battle, he would flare up and drink. No one would approach him at this time to find trouble. Therefore, they sneaked away early. Those servants had suffered a whipping for nothing.
Lin Chong didn’t mind and drank happily alone.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.
At first, Lin Chong thought that his subordinates were fooling around. Because he was drinking happily, he ignored them. However, the commotion became louder and louder, making him unable to hold it in anymore. He threw the wine bowl in his hand to the ground and cursed,
“Which bastard is making a ruckus outside? Can’t you see that I’m drinking?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a subordinate stumbled in. Before Lin Chong could scold him, he knelt on the ground with a plop, looking panicked.
“My, my king, someone has broken in. He, he killed many of our brothers!”
Lin Chong was stunned for a moment before he flew into a rage.
“Mo Zhao has gone too far. He can’t gain any advantage in a head-on battle, yet he took the opportunity to sneak attack us!”
He thought that Mo Zhao had led his men to attack his nest and became furious. He picked up the spear beside him and strode out..
