“At this rate, when I break through to the Bright Aperture Stage, the clone’s zero consumption distance should increase to three to four thousand meters!

After obtaining the answer he wanted, Lin Shen retracted his clone in satisfaction and returned to his bedroom to continue cultivating.

The biggest change to his daily life after advancing to the Bright Aperture Stage was that he needed much less sleep.

The strengthening of his soul made him full of spirit and energy all the time. Unless he was exhausted from fighting, he only needed to sleep for an hour or two a day.

With this trend, it could be foreseen that after becoming a cultivator master, he could basically bid farewell to sleep.

It was rumored that cultivator masters also used meditation as a substitute for sleep and spiritual essence as a substitute for food.

When he arrived at the bedroom, Lin Shen patted his forehead. He suddenly remembered the natural treasure he had just obtained today and was about to summon his Perseverance clone when his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

After awakening his spirit resonance, his senses had become even sharper. Even his subconscious awareness of danger seemed to have become sharper than before.

At this moment, Lin Shen felt as if some kind of malice was directed at him!

Trusting his intuition, Lin Shen activated the Forbidden Golden Armor without thinking. At the same time, he turned around and happened to see a strange scene.

The shadow in the corner of the bedroom protruded out of thin air as if it had been pinched out of clay. Then, an invisible palm quickly shaped it into a human form.

In the next second, the darkness on the humanoid surface receded like a tide, revealing a person wearing a black robe and a mask.

“Who are you?”

Lin Shen flipped his wrist, and the Six Yang Talisman Sword instantly landed in his palm.

He held the talisman sword in his hand and stared at the figure that had suddenly appeared in front of him as if he was facing a great enemy. His expression was very serious.

He sensed extreme danger from the person in front of him!

It was even more terrifying and dangerous than the feeling Jing Hai gave him that night!

A Bright Aperture Stage cultivator!

Furthermore, he was at least an expert at the fourth or fifth level of the Bright Aperture Stage!

The black-robed man raised his head slightly and glanced at Lin Shen from behind the mask. His indifferent voice sounded a little dull.

“You’ve already guessed, haven’t you?”

“…You’re from the Wild Wolves!” Lin Shen narrowed his eyes.

“You’re really smart.”

The black-robed man glanced at the spiritual light on Lin Shen’s fingertip. It was a sign that the spirit resonance had condensed and was preparing to cast a spell.

“You have incredible talent and strength. Jing Hai underestimated you, so he deserved to die in your hands.”

The black-robed man’s tone was calm, but it carried a sinister coldness like a poisonous snake slithering across one’s chest, making them feel a chill involuntarily.

Seeing this, Lin Shen no longer hesitated and immediately pointed forward with his fingers.

In an instant, a streak of sword-shaped sword energy pierced through the void and shot toward the black-robed man like a bolt of lightning!

Swoosh!

There was a sharp and short sound of air being torn apart in the bedroom.

Facing the fierce sword energy, the black-robed man calmly stretched out his palm. His five fingers bent into a claw and grabbed at the air. In an instant, dense clouds of white, green, blue, red, and yellow colors suddenly appeared and intertwined to meet the sword energy!

In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided fiercely in the void!

The sword energy was like a hot knife cutting through butter, but the five-colored ball of energy seemed to be resisting hardness with softness. It wrapped around the sword energy. Then, it spun and instantly wiped out the latter!

“What?¹

II

The black-robed man seemed a little surprised.

“This sword energy… Is it Seven Arts Sword Energy? You actually cultivated such a spell technique!”

The black-robed man originally thought that Lin Shen had at most cultivated a beginner-level spell like the Lightning Palm or the Red Melting Silk. He didn’t expect it to be the Seven Arts Sword Energy!

He had once seen this spell in a book. It was said to have been created by a sword cultivator.

Among cultivators, sword cultivators were famous for their powerful combat strength. The spells they created were naturally also famous for their powerful strength!

The Seven Arts Sword Energy was no exception!

Not only were there very few people who knew this spell, but it was also extremely rare. The difficulty of cultivating it far exceeded that of the Lightning Palm and the Red Fusion Silk!

According to the description in the books, cultivators with slightly weaker talent would probably take several years to cultivate it successfully.

Lin Shen had only advanced to the Bright Aperture Stage for a month, but he had already mastered the Seven Arts Sword Energy!

“Can this kid be sword cultivator material too?”

The black-robed man’s heart skipped a beat. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a very wise decision to capture Lin Shen tonight.

Otherwise, if Lin Shen continued to grow, even he might not be this kid’s match!

At the thought of this, the black-robed man’s gaze turned cold. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it again. This time, his palm was facing the floor below.

As he moved, the shadows on the floor of the room instantly surged violently like boiling water. Right on the heels of that, several lumps suddenly protruded, turning into several evil ghost heads. They bared their teeth and pounced at Lin Shen!

Lin Shen’s expression was solemn as he stabbed out with the longsword in his hand. Amidst the blazing red light, five dazzling scarlet balls of light appeared out of thin air and crushed out with the sharp sword energy.

Those evil spirit heads were obviously some kind of unorthodox technique that couldn’t resist Yang cultivation techniques, not to mention that the Nine Divine Sun Sword was a brilliant Yang-attribute martial technique.

In almost a single exchange, several evil ghost heads were minced into ashes by the sword energy and scorching waves!

Nine Divine Sun Sword! Five Suns at once!

II

The corners of the black-robed man’s eyes twitched. The fear in his eyes intensified, and he attacked even more mercilessly.

He reached out and grabbed the five-colored ball of energy from the void again. Then, with a clap of his hand, the ball attacked Lin Shen!

As early as when the Seven Arts Sword Energy was easily blocked by the black-robed man, Lin Shen’s heart had already sunk to the bottom.

The black-robed man in front of him was extraordinarily strong. He was more than a level stronger than Lin Shen had guessed at the beginning.

From his tone when he mentioned Jing Hai, he was as powerful as the latter and was very likely at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage.

However, the black-robed man wasn’t an alchemist or apothecary, but a genuine combat-type cultivator!

In other words, Lin Shen was facing a true ninth-level Bright Aperture Stage cultivator!

Lin Shen was confident that he could defeat an opponent at the third or fourth level of the Bright Aperture Stage if he used all his strength.

He felt that he could even fight cultivators at the fifth or sixth level.

However, the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage… He had better think of a way to escape!

As if sensing Lin Shen’s thoughts, the black-robed man snorted coldly and calmly took out a palm-sized item.

Upon closer inspection, it was an inkstone that was as black as ink.

An inkstone?

Lin Shen frowned as he resisted the five-colored energy ball.

In the next second, he saw the black-robed man throw the inkstone up.

After it left his hand, the inkstone spun a few times in the air as if it had a mind of its own. At first, it was only the size of a palm, but in the blink of an eye, it expanded to the size of a house.

The bedroom was only 20 to 30 square meters. How could it accommodate such a huge object? With a loud bang, the walls and ceiling collapsed, and countless pieces of gravel fell.

However, Lin Shen could no longer care about the house.

A dull thunderous whistling sound rang in his ears. The incomparably huge inkstone in the air was smashing down on him with a domineering aura that could crush everything.

Lin Shen almost couldn’t help but curse.

At this point, how could he not see that the inkstone was clearly a Dharma treasure above the level of an enchanted armament?

It wasn’t fair to use such a treasure to deal with a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator who had just made the breakthrough.

Unfortunately, the curses couldn’t stop the inkstone from falling!

In the next moment, there was a bang.

The inkstone had already smashed heavily into Lin Shen, blasting him through the floor and into the living room on the first floor. Instantly, there was a loud bang, and dust rose everywhere!

The black-robed man waved his hand, and the inkstone quickly shrank and rolled back into his hand.

Immediately after, he put his fingers together, and a strong wind surged around him. It lifted him off the ground and landed in the pit not far away.

The black-robed man’s eyes narrowed as he swept his gaze across the smoke-filled living room below. His expression didn’t relax at all.

Although the inkstone was extremely powerful, based on his understanding of Lin Shen, that kid would at most be severely injured and would definitely not die because of this. He might even still have some combat strength left!

He wasn’t Jing Hai and wouldn’t underestimate Lin Shen.. Since he had taken the risk of exposing his identity this time, he would definitely not let Lin Shen escape!
