I Have Countless Clones

Chapter 35



Cat Girl

“Who do you think killed Zhou Zhihai?”

In the spacious carriage, Yang Zhongyi asked curiously as he drank a cold drink.

He wasn’t on good terms with Zhou Zhihai. If anything, they were almost hostile toward each other.

Therefore, he didn’t feel pity for Zhou Zhihai’s death. He was purely curious.

Next to him, Su Nian looked at the scenery outside the window and said without turning his head,

“That’s what the Martial Enforcement Hall should be concerned about.”

“I’m just curious.”

Yang Zhongyi spread his hands.

“Moreover, the Martial Enforcement Hall will probably have a headache this time. According to the description of the passerby, the person who killed Zhou Zhihai didn’t come out after entering the alley. It was as if he disappeared into thin air.”

“Plenty of cultivators can fly over roofs and walk on walls.”

“But that alley is between two tall buildings. The walls on both sides are more than 50m tall. He couldn’t fly over the walls with a Flying Feather Talisman, let alone movement techniques, unless that person was a cultivator master!”

Su Nian shrugged and didn’t retort.

Despite bickering with Yang Zhongyi, Su Nian pretty much thought in the same line. The person who killed Zhou Zhihai clearly had some tricks up his sleeve. There were almost no traces left behind. The Martial Enforcement Hall would probably have a hard time to find him.

Moreover, the Martial Enforcement Hall seemed to be busy investigating another matter recently. They probably wouldn’t have much energy to spend on Zhou Zhihai.

At the end of the day, Zhou Zhihai came from a declining old family and wasn’t a member of the eighteen influential families. The Martial Enforcement Hall probably wouldn’t pay much attention to him.

When Su Nian thought of this, he couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

As if sensing Su Nian’s emotions, Yang Zhongyi cleared his throat, looked out of the car window, and changed the topic.

“Here we are.”

As they spoke, the car slowly stopped in front of a building.

Getting out of the car, Lin Shen looked up, and his eyes lit up.

The building in front of him had a European style. The exterior design was very fashionable, and it looked like a clubhouse.

From the number of luxury cars in the parking lot, one could tell not only was business booming here, but the people visiting her were also either rich or of high social status.

The guards and attendants standing outside the front gate were all wearing neat uniforms.

Centered around the entrance of the clubhouse, they used their sharps and cautious gazes to scan every face that appeared in their sight.

All the people with bad appearances and suspicious behaviors would be chased away as quickly as possible without alerting anyone.

Yang Zhongyi casually threw the key to the waiter who welcomed him and led Lin Shen and Su Nian in.

The main colors of the bright first-floor hall were gold and linen gray. In the middle of the dome hung an exquisite bronze European-styled chandelier. The marble pillars on both sides of the aisle were decorated with gorgeous wall decorations. There was a soft red carpet under their feet. The decorations that they saw were luxurious and elegant.

It was obvious Yang Zhongyi was a regular here. After entering the hall, he waved the waiter away and brought his two friends to a spacious room on the third floor.

“The service here is quite nice, and the food is delicious. Of course, the activity on the fourth floor is even better. I recommend you try it. I’ll cover all the expenses tonight!” Yang Zhongyi winked at Lin Shen and smiled.

Judging by his expression, Lin Shen knew it was definitely not a decent activity.

Not long after they sat down, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

As soon as Yang Zhongyi said that, the door opened from the outside, and two beautiful girls walked in with food.

Lin Shen’s gaze immediately landed on the top of their heads.

Cat ears?

As expected, they both had furry tails on their buttocks. One was gray, and one was white.

Lin Shen’s eyesight was extremely sharp now. He immediately saw the two girls’ cat ears and tails were genuine parts of their bodies and not decorations. He was even more surprised.

The two girls set the food and bowed before leaving. Only after that did Lin Shen look at Yang Zhongyi inquiringly.

“It’s a feature of the Night Dream Club.”

Yang Zhongyi picked up a piece of cow tongue with his chopsticks and threw it into his mouth. As he chewed, he explained,

“All the waitresses in this club are catgirls except for the receptionists.”

“Catgirl… Is that a cat demon in human form?”

Lin Shen had vaguely sensed that the two girls carried a strong cultivation aura. They were at least at the fourth or fifth level of the Qi Transformation Stage.

“It’s not the same.”

Yang Zhongyi shook his head.

“The catgirls here were originally cats that had gained spiritual intelligence. They only became like this after taking the Transformation Pill. They are products of forced growth. They’re nothing compared to the demon beasts that have passed the Human Tribulation and obtained human forms!”

Lin Shen was enlightened.

That made sense. It was said the demon beasts that had successfully passed the Human Tribulation were almost as powerful as real cultivator masters. How could they be waitressing in a club?

However, this club could use so many cat girls who had taken Transformation Pills as waitresses. It must be very well-connected.

With his doubts resolved, Lin Shen turned his attention to the table full of delicacies. He didn’t stand on ceremony and started enjoying the food. He chatted with Yang Zhongyi as he ate.

Su Nian didn’t speak much and only interjected occasionally. The atmosphere between the three of them was rather harmonious.

As they chatted, the topic turned to the academy entrance examination.

“Every year, the three great sects will each allocate 500 spots for the examination. In the end, each sect will only accept 200 people who have successfully passed the examination. That’s less than half of the quota they give!”

As a disciple of an influential family, Yang Zhongyi knew this very well.

...

Lin Shen was also listening very carefully.

The main reason why he accepted Yang Zhongyi’s invitation was to ask about the examination.

“What’s the form of the exam?”

]”There’s no fixed format. The assessment for the three great sects is different every year, but it’s essentially the same. In the end, it still depends on each person’s cultivation and martial technique level!”

Lin Shen nodded slightly. That made sense.

]”Don’t worry. With your current strength, you’ll definitely pass the examination!”

Yang Zhongyi smiled and glanced at Su Nian.

It’s the same for Su. It won’t be so certain if he’s only at the sixth level of the Qi Transformation Stage. However, with Mastery in the Blazing Sun Palm, he’ll definitely pass the examination if nothing goes wrong.”

Su Nian put down his chopsticks and said solemnly,

“I want more than pass the exam. I also want to get a good ranking. This concerns how many cultivation resources we can obtain after entering the academies.”

“What do you mean?” Lin Shen was instantly interested.

...

Yang Zhongyi smiled and explained patiently.

With his explanation, Lin Shen gradually came to a realization.

Initially, Lin Shen thought the academies should be similar to universities in his previous life, except that the academies taught cultivation courses.

However, after listening to Yang Zhongyi’s story, he realized that he had misunderstood.

The academies affiliated with the three major sects didn’t have a curriculum. All the disciples cultivated on their own, while the academies were only responsible for providing cultivation venues, medicinal pills, cultivation techniques, rare and exotic herbs, and other cultivation resources.

Of course, none of this was free.

Apart from exchanging contribution points, every disciple could receive a fixed amount of cultivation resources every month according to their cultivation level and status.

As for the disciples who had just entered the academies, the number of cultivation resources they could obtain every month depended on their performance in the entrance examination.

The better their performance was, the more cultivation resources they could obtain.

In short, the competition between the disciples of the academies over cultivation resources was especially intense, far exceeding the imagination of outsiders.

The competition had even started at the beginning of the examination.
