Chapter 54 - 54 Four People in the Same Hall

I Have Countless Clones

54 Four People in the Same Hall

“Which academy is he from? What’s his cultivation level?”

When he returned to his senses, Ke Ya immediately asked.

...

The disciple quickly flipped through the list and replied respectfully,

“Sir, Lin Shen is a student of the Willow Academy. He was born in a welfare institution. He’s at the sixth level of Qi Transformation and has reached Mastery in the Blazing Sun Palm.”

Welfare institution?!

Ke Ya and Cai Zhonggu were truly shocked.

It was obvious how impoverished a student from a welfare institution would be. How could he cultivate to the sixth level of Qi Transformation?

Moreover, he had even reached Mastery in the Blazing Sun Palm!

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was overflowing with talent!

Instantly, the two tutors were very interested in Lin Shen.

Cai Zhonggu gently pushed the formation disk, and the water curtain immediately changed. The scene regarding Lin Shen quickly enlarged and appeared in front of the two of them.

In the image, Lin Shen was fighting the fog beasts in the middle of the hall.

As more and more candidates were eliminated, the strength of the fog beast had already increased to the second level of Qi Transformation.

Despite being surrounded by more than ten fog beasts at the second level of Qi Transformation, Lin Shen remained calm. He moved like a whirlwind as he jumped and dodged among the beasts. No matter how the fog beasts pounced, they couldn’t even touch the corner of his clothes.

Every time he attacked, he would definitely kill a fog beast.

“He doesn’t look like he’s only at the sixth level of Qi Transformation!” Ke Ya’s eyes flashed.

“Indeed!” Cai Zhonggu agreed.

A cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Transformation couldn’t be as relaxed as Lin Shen when facing the siege of more than ten fog beasts.

He was at least at the seventh level of Qi Transformation!

“Most likely, he broke through just before the exam.”

Cai Zhonggu said with a smile. He was even more amazed by Lin Shen’s talent.

If the disciples of influential families had reached the seventh level of Qi Transformation at this age, he would at most praise them.

However, if it was an ordinary student from a welfare institution, this achievement would be extraordinary. It was simply amazing!

“He’s very promising!” Ke Ya also looked impressed. “It shouldn’t be a problem for him to get into the top 30 of the exam!”

The disciples waiting for orders at the side all looked at Lin Shen enviously.

Since the two tutors had said so, they must be right!

It was almost a sure bet that he would become an inner sect disciple in the future. There was no need to mention how bright his future was.

It was really enviable!

Lin Shen didn’t know someone was evaluating his performance outside.

He focused all his attention on the battle with the fog beast.

It had been more than ten minutes since he entered the fog formation, and he was already in the fourth hall, but unfortunately, he hadn’t been able to find the altar.

After more than ten minutes of fighting, the score displayed on the jade token was close to 300 points.

After passing through another door, Lin Shen arrived at the new hall.

At the same time, a tall boy rushed out of the door on the left side of the hall.

The two of them noticed each other at the same time and were stunned.

After they realized what was going on, Lin Shen and the tall boy tacitly didn’t communicate. They looked at each other and each chose a door.

The clouds above the hall surged, and dozens of fog beasts quickly condensed. They split into two waves and roared towards Lin Shen and the tall boy.

The tall boy quickly glanced at them, and his expression changed.

“Twenty-two?! Damn it, the number has increased again!”

Cursing under his breath, the tall boy had no choice but to brace himself and fight. As he desperately resisted the attacks of the beasts, he approached the door with difficulty.

He was only at the sixth level of Qi Transformation. Facing the fog beasts that were almost twice as strong as before, it was already very difficult for him to fight them head-on.

The moment he stopped, he would be surrounded by the beasts until he was exhausted and eliminated!

His only hope now was to find an altar and obtain the formation flag.

In that case, he would be able to get 200 more points. With the nearly 200 points he had now, he still had a high chance of squeezing into the top 200.

“If I had known this year’s examination would be like this, I would have learned a movement technique. When fighting doesn’t work, stalling for time with speed is a good idea!”

The tall boy groaned inwardly. He subconsciously glanced in Lin Shen’s direction from the corner of his eye, wanting to see if the other person was having a hard time like him.

However, he was dumbfounded.

Lin Shen seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard as he approached the door at a moderate pace. Wherever he passed, fog beasts scattered into clouds!

The ferocious attacks of the beasts were like a spring breeze to him. They couldn’t slow him down at all!

“Where did this person come from? Why is he so fierce?”

The tall boy was dumbfounded.

In his daze, he made a mistake in dodging. A fog beast took the opportunity to approach and bite his throat.

The tall boy suddenly woke up and blocked in a hurry. However, more fog beasts had already taken the opportunity to surround him and drowned him in the blink of an eye.

In the next second, a dazzling stream of light suddenly shook off the beasts and shot out, disappearing into the sky.

Lin Shen, who was about to step into the door, suddenly felt something. He turned his head and looked in the direction where the stream of light had disappeared. He mourned for half a second sympathetically before stepping into the door and disappearing.

His vision blurred for a moment before it quickly regained clarity.

Lin Shen’s gaze quickly swept across the surroundings, and in the blink of an eye, he took in the situation in the hall.

What surprised him was that the hall this time was completely different from before. In the middle stood a five-meter-tall platform. It was completely made of granite and had a smooth surface.

In the center of the high platform, a two-meter-tall scarlet flag stood upright, fluttering without wind.

The altar!

The formation flag!

200 points!

Lin Shen’s eyes lit up.

At this moment, the other three doors in the hall suddenly fluctuated, and three figures rushed out.

The three of them immediately noticed the flag on the high platform, and their faces lit up. However, they spotted the others and stopped in their tracks, all looking alarmed.

Instantly, the hall fell into a strange silence.

The hall where the altar was located was different from the other halls. There were no clouds in the sky, which meant no fog beasts would appear.

At this moment, there were only four examinees in the huge hall.

However, none of the four candidates, including Lin Shen, rushed to the altar.

One had to hold the formation flag for a minute to obtain points. Even if a person was the first to snatch the flag, they might not be able to keep it until the end.

On the contrary, whoever attacked rashly at this moment would instantly become the target of the joint attack of the other three!

Therefore, the four of them stood on the spot at the same time and sized each other up silently.

To Lin Shen’s surprise, the person who came out from the door on his left was Yan Xing, who had specially come to rope him in before the exam began.

Yan Xing also noticed Lin Shen and looked at him intensely. Then, he shifted his gaze and looked at the boy opposite him. A hint of fear flashed across his eyes.

“What a coincidence, Xue Feng!”

Xue Feng?

Lin Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at the boy.

He wasn’t tall and had ordinary facial features. In terms of appearance, he was the kind of person one wouldn’t notice in the crowd. However, his eyes were sharp like an unsheathed sword, and he exuded a powerful aura.

Was he Xue Feng, one of the four most promising candidates according to Yang Zhongyi?
