I Have Countless Clones

Chapter 51 - 51 Gathering of Elites



51 Gathering of Elites

At this moment, Yang Zhongyi suddenly focused his gaze and looked behind his left shoulder

Puzzled, Lin Shen and Su Nian followed his gaze and happened to see Yan Xing slowly walking over.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Yan Xing.”

To their surprise, Yan Xing was actually here for Lin Shen. He reached out to him with a smile.

“I’m Lin Shen.”

Lin Shen raised his eyebrows and shook hands with Yan Xing without batting an eyelid.

“What can I do for you?”

“It’s nothing. I just want to get to know you. After the exam, perhaps we can find an opportunity to talk. Also, I wish you good luck with the exam!”

After saying this, Yan Xing turned around and nodded slightly at Yang Zhongyi. Then, he left without looking back. He didn’t even glance at Su Nian the entire time.

Lin Shen asked in confusion, “What’s he here for?”

“What else do you think? He’s here to rope you in and wants you to be his underling.”

Yang Zhongyi spread his hands and curled his lips.

“Master Yang is used to being high and mighty. He doesn’t even want to put down his arrogance when trying to rope you in!”

Lin Shen shook his head and laughed.

Roping him in as a lackey?

Then this young master would be disappointed.

After the exam ended, Yan Xing probably wouldn’t have the slightest intention of communicating with Lin Shen anymore.

“Young Master Yan, why did you talk to Lin Shen?”

As soon as Yan Xing returned to the crowd, Lü Zijun came over and asked curiously.

“You didn’t declare war, did you?” someone teased.

“Bullshit! With Young Master Yan’s strength, is there a need to declare war on Lin Shen? That boy isn’t worth the attention!””

“That’s right. Young Master Yan’s opponents should be people like Xue Feng and Chong Yan!”

“You’re right…”

The group of disciples of influential families quickly changed the topic and began to talk about the information of the other candidates.

Lü Zijun glanced at Yan Xing and rolled his eyes. He quickly understood what it was about and looked at Lin Shen in disdain.

Why did he need to rope in an ordinary student?

So what if his talent was outstanding? With his background, his future achievements would definitely be limited.

If Yan Xing wanted to rope in a student, he had to at least find someone from a declining old family, such as Su Nian.

Only such a person could be qualified to join his team!

Yan Xing didn’t notice Lu Zijun’s reaction. He walked to Zhao Xueying’s side and said,

“I heard Xue Feng and Chong Yanhe have already broken through to the eighth level of Qi Transformation. Their martial arts are also extraordinary. In this exam, they should be our strongest opponents!”

Yan Xing had long understood Zhao Xueying’s personality. He knew if he talked to her about anything else, Zhao Xueying would probably ignore him.

However, she was obsessed with cultivation. As long as he talked to her about the strength of the other examinees, Zhao Xueying would most likely talk to him.

As expected, after hearing Yan Xing’s words, Zhao Xueying’s expression changed, and she nodded.

“I’ve also heard of them. It’s said that their strength can’t be underestimated. They’re indeed troublesome opponents!”

Yan Xing smiled slightly. “I’ve asked around. Of the candidates for the Nine Yang Academy’s examination this time only Xue Feng, Chong Yanhe, you, and I are the direct descendants of the three families and the five great sects. If nothing goes wrong, the chief disciple should be one of the four of us!”

Zhao Xueying glanced at Yan Xing. Her clear and bright eyes narrowed slightly as she said firmly,

“It must be me!”

“That’s not necessarily true!”

Although Yan Xing had feelings for Zhao Xueying, he wouldn’t admit defeat on such a matter.

“I’m also determined to obtain the position of the chief disciple!”

“There are a lot of strong opponents in this exam.”

Yang Zhongyi counted with his fingers.

“Yan Xing and Zhao Xueying aside, there’s also Xue Feng from the Xue family and Chong Yanhe from the Chong family. These four are all elites whose cultivation has definitely reached the eighth level of Qi Transformation!

“There’s also the examinees who have reached Level 7 of Qi Transformation. There are at least 30 to 40 of them. They’re basically all disciples of influential families!”

At this point, Yang Zhongyi glanced at Lin Shen.

As far as he knew, Lin Shen was the only ordinary student with a Level 7 Qi Transformation cultivation in this exam.

Of course, only he and Su Nian knew about it so far. Otherwise, when Yan Xing came to rope Lin Shen in just now, he definitely wouldn’t have been so condescending.

“Based on the information I’ve gathered, the Nine Yang Academy’s examination this year is the most difficult in the past decade. All elites have gathered here!

“The candidates from the Raging Waves Academy and Azure Frost Academy are far inferior to the ones here!”

Su Nian wasn’t affected by Yang Zhongyi’s words. He still looked calm.

Lin Shen smiled and didn’t say anything either.

...

Seeing the way they were, Yang Zhongyi couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He didn’t feel a sense of accomplishment at all.

However, he still continued. “We don’t have any hope of becoming the chief disciple, and the chances of getting into the top ten are slim. However, we still have some confidence in getting into the top twenty. If we can get into the top twenty, the treatment we receive after entering the Nine Yang Academy will be pretty good!”

This time, Su Nian finally nodded in agreement.

Just like Yang Zhongyi, he was also aiming for the top twenty.

“Lin Shen, what about you? What’s your aim?” Su Nian suddenly asked Lin Shen.

However, before Lin Shen could answer, he was suddenly interrupted by a commotion.

The three of them turned around and happened to see a group of people walking into the square.

Leading them were two elderly men with white hair, but they were hale and hearty. Their faces were glowing, and their skin was tight.

The two of them were wearing long coats, one black and one white. Their footsteps were light, and they looked like immortals.

“They’re the tutors of the Nine Yang Academy!” Yang Zhongyi said in a low voice.

Lin Shen’s eyes flickered.

...

He had done a lot of research on Nine Yang Academy, so he naturally knew what position the tutors held.

The Nine Yang Academy was divided into two houses.

The head of the upper house was the archimandrite, who was in charge of the entire academy.

The lower house had three institute heads who were responsible for all the matters in the lower house.

The tutors were in charge of specific matters.

The position of a tutor sounded similar to that of a teacher at Willow Academy, but in terms of status and power, it far exceeded the latter.

All the tutors of the Nine Yang Academy were late-stage Bright Aperture cultivators!

They were only a step away from advancing to a cultivator master!

With the arrival of the two tutors, the buzzing discussion in the square quickly disappeared. Everyone looked at the newcomers.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the two tutors came to the front of the crowd and sat down on the chairs prepared beforehand. Then, they looked around with piercing eyes.

“I’m Cai Zhonggu, the tutor of the Nine Yang Academy,” the black-robed elder said loudly.

“I’m Ke Ya, and I’m also a tutor of the Nine Yang Academy,” the white-robed elder said.

Their voices weren’t loud, but they spread throughout the entire square, and everyone could hear them clearly.

After introducing himself, Ke Ya turned to look at a young man beside him.

The latter immediately took a step forward and said solemnly,

“The disciples have been counted. All 500 candidates are present. None of them are absent!”

Ke Ya nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and waved his hand.

“I won’t say anything else. The specific rules of this year’s examination are all here. Take a closer look!”

Following Ke Ya’s actions, a large amount of mist suddenly surged out of the void. It gathered and condensed into words that lined up neatly in the air above the square.

With a swish, everyone looked at the sky.

Lin Shen also looked over and read it carefully.
