Chapter 193: Phantom Clone Slash

“Right now, do you hear some inexplicable words and sounds in your surroundings?”

Lin Yao quickly nodded in response to this question.

“Yes.”

“That’s right. That’s the sound of other people making calls. You can hear those sounds because you can receive electromagnetic waves. Besides, our planet has its own magnetic field. Since you can receive electromagnetic waves, your sense of perception has exceeded the mental strength limit and reached a range of around one kilometer. This is something positive. As your mental strength increases, the range of your perception will also increase and may reach one kilometer, 10 kilometers, or even 100 kilometers.

“It would not be an exaggeration to say that you’re a humanoid radar, but you should know what the problem is. Although it is good to receive more information, it is bad if your CPU, i.e. brain and arithmetic ability, cannot keep up with it.”

Upon saying this, he put on a strange expression and sized up Lin Yao several times before continuing to speak.

“I’m very surprised your brain wasn’t burnt or ruined the moment you awakened.”

“Professor, can’t you say something nice?”

“I’m just telling the truth. Do you know something? Making your mental strength break through to 100 is not something that martial artists like you should be doing. Ordinary people should improve their mental strength after they become warlords. Otherwise, if your mental strength is not compatible with your body, your brain might be burnt and you’ll become an idiot.”

“Why did you let me break through then?”

“Because you are a genius and your physique is stronger than that of some warlords. That’s why I didn’t limit your mental strength, but I didn’t expect you to be able to receive electromagnetic waves and perceive a distance of one kilometer after awakening. This is something that can only be achieved by people with a Silver Person physique.”

“So, there are still some risks in this for me.”

Upon speaking of this, Lin Yao felt completely helpless. He hadn’t expected that something good, like the awakening of talent, could almost kill him.

“No, the first wave is the most dangerous. If you can survive it, the danger will not be that great. However, your headache may last for more than a month. This is the only way for your subconscious mind to block out a large amount of useless information.”

“One month. Fortunately, I should be able to make it.”

Upon seeing the listless look on Lin Yao’s face, Professor Li smiled and said, “Alright, sit up. Aside from the demerits, there are also merits to this. First of all, your perception range is a dozen or even 100 times that of other people. Second, this oppression can also make your mental strength grow rapidly, which is something that others are after.”

This was indeed the case. Ordinary martial artists, including warlords, silver warlords, and even golden warlords, would rack their brains for ways to improve their mental strength and expand their range of perception. On the other hand, Lin Yao felt troubled about having a wide range of perception.

Lin Yao also realized after this incident that a fortuitous encounter was indeed a good thing. However, pennies falling from heaven could also smash one to death if one wasn’t strong enough to endure the impact.

‘Sigh. I never expected a day would come when I’d feel troubled about my growth strength-wise.’

Professor Li thought it would take Lin Yao more than a month to relieve his headache. However, something unexpected happened again. Lin Yao recovered completely after one week.

Upon seeing Professor Li, who was moving the instrument repeatedly and looking like he was doubting life, Lin Yao felt a little helpless.

“Professor, you’ve already checked it thrice. I’m really fine.”

“Impossible. One week. How is that possible?”

After muttering to himself for a long time, Professor Li stared at Lin Yao’s eyes with bright, scorching eyes. This made Lin Yao’s heart turn cold.

“Professor, please don’t do anything illegal.”

“Of course not, who do you take me for? Ah Yao, if you’re killed in action in the future, please let me have your head.”

“Ha ha.”

Ignoring Professor Li, who looked as if he couldn’t wait to cleave and research Lin Yao’s head, Lin Yao realized what the reason for his rapid recovery was. This was probably credited to Light Adjustment.

This talent would optimize Lin Yao’s body to perfection. What was perfection? Of course, it was being able to unleash one’s strength most effortlessly without any repercussions. This was the definition of perfection.

The brain was part of Lin Yao’s body. If something were to go wrong with it, Light Adjustment certainly would not sit and do nothing.

Instead, it would focus on optimizing the brain. After Lin Yao gradually recovered, he could sense this through the abundance of light energy in his brain.

Lin Yao’s head had fully recovered due to the optimization ability of Light Adjustment. At that moment, he could still perceive the information within a one-kilometer radius, but some of the useless information had been automatically blocked out. He would only perceive or focus his attention on the most important snippets. action

After the recovery of his brain, Lin Yao was also able to enter the Sea of Consciousness to look at the changes. As Professor Li had guessed, Lin Yao had awakened a talent after his mental strength had broken through to 100.

[Electromagnetic Induction LV1 (3%)]

[Introduction: The host has thunder talent. When his mental strength breaks through to 100, he can release thunder and lightning externally. Now, the host can induce a magnetic field with his mental strength and receive and map the information in the magnetic field in his mind.]

Electromagnetic Induction LV1 was purely an induction that allowed Lin Yao to induce the magnetic field and receive some information that came with it.

This could be regarded as the combined effect of mental strength and thunder talent. It was similar to the combined effect of the Heavenly Thunder and Light Adjustment after the former reached LV3, giving Lin Yao an electricity-absorbing physique.

The prospects of developing the Electromagnetic Induction ability were very promising. However, Lin Yao wouldn’t dare improve it now for fear of dying.

He was afraid that he would receive information within a radius of 10 kilometers after he advanced. This was not tenfold that of one kilometer. After all, as the epicenter, Lin Yao could receive all the information within a sphere and not just linearly. One would know by looking at the difference in volume between a circle with a radius of 10 kilometers and one with a radius of one kilometer.

If Lin Yao were to receive all the information within a radius of 10 kilometers, his head would definitely suffer from an instant meltdown.

He wasn’t certain if the electromagnetic induction talent had given him a surprise or a shock. Nevertheless, just as the old professor had said, his mental strength had really improved. Now, Lin Yao’s mental strength was no longer at 100 after he had just broken through, but at 120.

Aside from this, Lin Yao was elated about something else. Along with the improvement of his mental strength, his thunder and lightning field, as well as the Lord of Light’s area of influence, had increased.

Furthermore, unlike ordinary people, his increase in area was much greater and didn’t correspond with the 120-meter increase in mental strength. Lin Yao was astounded by this.

Aside from the thunder and lightning field, there were very few cases of external release of thunder and lightning in reality. The Lord of Light was somewhat terrifying at that moment. When Lin Yao used his mind, all the light rays within a radius of one kilometer would converge toward him.

With the Clear Mirror Body Technique, Lin Yao could already project the image of his figure up to 120 meters away, and this was when his mental strength was still weak.

The reason for this horrifying ascension was obvious. Mainly, thunder, lightning, and light rays were regarded as forms of electromagnetic radiation, which was in the area of electromagnetic induction. Therefore, Lin Yao had earned a huge benefit this time.

Of course, the lack of arithmetic ability was restricting him. He could only unleash his full strength after the electric current entered his brain to reach the state of accelerated thinking speed.

At the same time, Lin Yao also discovered something. After reaching a mental strength of 100, Lin Yao’s thinking speed had accelerated thrice, and his arithmetic ability had improved tremendously. He could even induce the magnetic field. This also meant that Lin Yao could finally realize his hope of using the Super Electromagnetic Gun, the combat skill he had been eyeing for a long time.

“I’ll try it later.”

Lin Yao, who had fully recovered, immediately came up with a new training plan. After undergoing in-depth electric current development, he would no longer study on his bed. Instead, he was ready to try the Super Electromagnetic Gun.

However, before Lin Yao could execute this plan, Qin Ya came to share some good news.

“Mr. Lin, the negotiation with the Flowery Sect is over. This is the contract. You can take a look.”

After taking the contract, Lin Yao directly entered thinking speed acceleration and quickly flipped through the contract with his super-strong arithmetic ability.

After the inspection, Lin Yao found that the Flowery Sect was fairly sincere. The endorsement fee for one year of spokesmanship was already eight million yuan. In addition, he was entitled to one combat skill of the Flowery Sect. In other words, Lin Yao had to learn that combat skill before he could become a spokesperson for the Flowery Sect.

Of course, there were also certain requirements. Within this period of one year, Lin Yao could only be the spokesperson of their dojo and not any other dojos.

Besides this condition, there were also some supplementary terms. First, Lin Yao had to give them priority when signing endorsements henceforth. Second, if Lin Yao were to become more famous, the endorsement fee could be renegotiated.

“There are a lot of benefits. What do you make of it?”

“Their terms and conditions are very good. This is mainly because the Flowery Sect feels that you have an affinity with them, and they really hope you can join them.”

“I don’t believe in fate.”

Lin Yao had never believed in fate. Nevertheless, Qin Ya agreed with the Flowery Sect. “You guys do have some affinity.”

“Huh?”

Upon seeing Lin Yao looking puzzled, she smiled. “Do you remember the Clear Mirror Swordsmanship, your first technique? This is a combat skill passed down by the Flowery Sect.”

“That’s really… an affinity.”

After being speechless for some time, Lin Yao soon thought of something and said hurriedly, “Since I already have the Clear Mirror Swordsmanship, do I need to learn another skill? This combat skill alone is enough for me to impersonate a member of the Flowery Sect.”

This remark made Qin Ya feel somewhat helpless. Ordinary people would be elated about being able to obtain a diamond combat skill. However, Lin Yao didn’t care and even found this cumbersome.

Lin Yao was indeed not keen on learning combat skills, as he believed that all combat skills required a strong body to unleash their effect. Therefore, he would rather strengthen his physique than learn combat skills and then crush his opponent with absolute power in battle.

At the same time, he had another new combat skill option. The diamond-level Super Electromagnetic Gun was what Lin Yao wanted to learn next.

However, Qin Ya planned to convince Lin Yao.

“You can try to learn it. I found a combat skill that suits you quite well. It’s related to the sword-drawing technique and refraction. You should be able to pick it up quickly.”

After she said that, Qin Ya played a video of a handsome middle-aged man from the Flowery Sect fighting against a monster.

At the beginning of the battle, the monster was charging toward the handsome, middle-aged man from a distance, and the latter immediately made a sword-drawing gesture.

While facing the rampaging monster, that cold, aloof-looking, handsome middle-aged man didn’t intend to move at all. However, when the monster closed in and got within a certain distance, light and shadows rushed out of him. The swift, fast light and shadows dashed to the side of the monster like phantoms.

Then, a gorgeous, amazing scene occurred. After the phantoms reached the side of the monster, one by one, they instantly transformed into clones, slashing at the monster.

Each sword move could create one clone. In the process, countless clones were shattered. Nevertheless, the clones of the handsome, middle-aged man continued to appear. In the end, the monster was killed and the handsome, middle-aged man hadn’t moved one bit throughout the battle.

The cool, effortless victory piqued Lin Yao’s interest. At the same time, Qin Ya also explained to Lin Yao the mystery and secret of this combat skill.

“It’s the Phantom Clone Slash. It uses energy as well as light and shadows to condense phantoms and clones to attack and kill the enemy. The phantoms can be real or illusory. It is a fairly good ability and also a very splendorous and sophisticated one. The difficulty of this move lies in the ability to condense all physical strength into unleashing a long-distance slash to refract the light and shadows into a clone. This is a skill related to drawing and slashing swords and light attributes. It shouldn’t pose much difficulty to you. It is also a very practical move. If you have the spatial talent, you can transform the clone and phantoms even faster.”
