From today on, you don't need to come to school every day.
You only need to come to school once a week for a class meeting. Of course, if there is something important.
The teacher will also notify you in the group. This is a tradition for all third-year high school students, with the aim of giving everyone more time to cultivate.
After all, entering university mainly depends on combat power and talent. As for cultural courses, most people can pass!
Moreover, in the more than two years of study before awakening, you have learned what you should learn.
Now that everyone has awakened their talents, cultivation is the main task.
This was good news for Lin Yu.
He could finally leave the city to hunt and level up.
After leaving school, he headed straight for the city gate.
After walking for a while, he saw the tall city walls and gate of Ji City from afar.
There were no guards at the city gate, because the entire city was controlled by the central intelligence, so there was no need for human guards to watch the exit.
This city gate, so to speak, was actually a net-like structure woven from blue energy. If anyone tried to force their way through, they would be shot into a hornet's nest by high-energy rays!
If the city gate could not deal with a strong enemy, the city guards stationed not far from the city walls would immediately dispatch to resist the enemy.
This was the defense system at the gate of Ji City.
Lin Yu walked to the city gate and took out his student card, placing it on the induction device at the gate.
Immediately, a series of prompts sounded.
[Beep, identity detection passed: Lin Yu, student of Ji City No. 3 High School!]
[Please state your purpose for leaving the city!]
"I'm going out to hunt!" Lin Yu said.
[Beep, detection passed, you may leave the city! Your information has been registered.]
[Friendly reminder: The outside world is dangerous, please pay attention to safety and be sure to return to the city before nightfall.]
The next moment, the energy of the city gate receded, opening a passage.
Lin Yu quickly walked through.
Passing through the city gate and arriving outside the city, he was met with desolation and barren land. It made one seriously doubt that the city was located in a desert.
However, he knew that this was intentionally made desolate for the safety of the city.
In fact, there wasn't a single blade of grass within a thousand meters of Ji City.
"If plants are not cleared, they will obstruct vision, which will allow some fierce beasts to hide within them, not conducive to city safety, so someone regularly mows the grass."
"Ji City faces a mountain on one side, a river on another, and the other two sides are south and west. My destination is the Valley of the Dead ten miles to the west!"
"The monsters here are not strong, which is perfect for me at the moment!"
"Let's go!"
He had already increased his combat power once, so his speed was not slow.
Ten minutes later, he stopped.
"This is it!"
"Valley of the Dead!"
The Valley of the Dead was surrounded by mountains, dark and humid, with no sunlight, breeding countless undead.
This was once a normal canyon. Three hundred years ago, due to an invasion from a world of the undead, death energy poured down, creating a death mist that never dissipated.
And it became a breeding ground for undead creatures!
However, the death energy was not very dense, so the undead creatures were generally not strong.
They were only slightly stronger than the undead dungeons at school!
This was why he came here to hunt.
Lin Yu found a large rock to hide behind, and then activated his clone talent.
Immediately, white light flashed, and two identical clones appeared before him.
"Brothers, it's up to you. Go!"
The two clones nodded, took a few steps, picked up two bone clubs, and walked into the distance.
Lin Yu, relying on his clones' vision, saw them not going deep, but wandering around the periphery, only attacking lone monsters.
At this moment, they quietly flanked a lone skeleton mage.
Clone One feigned an attack, and the skeleton mage angrily chanted to cast a spell.
Just as the skeleton mage was chanting, Clone Two rushed out from behind the skeleton mage and struck the skeleton mage on the head with a club.
Bang!
The skeleton mage was hit, its skill interrupted, and it paused for a moment.
Seeing this, Clone One immediately attacked the skeleton mage's neck.
Boom!
Clone Two also took the opportunity to strike the skeleton mage's neck.
With the two clones attacking the skeleton mage's neck in front and back with their bone clubs, the skeleton mage's fragile neck was forcefully broken.
Its head fell to the ground and rolled away.
The two clones bent down and furiously smashed the skeleton mage's head with their bone clubs.
Bang, bang, bang!!!
In a short while, the skeleton mage's head was smashed, and its soul fire soon dissipated.
A system prompt sounded in Lin Yu's mind: "Ding, killed Skeleton Mage, gained +2 upgrade points!"
"Keep killing!" Lin Yu silently commanded his clones in his heart!
The clones nodded and resumed their tactics, specifically targeting lone monsters, flanking them from front and back, then Clone One feigning an attack to draw fire, and Clone Two ambushing to interrupt skills.
After that, they would attack from both sides, breaking the monster's neck with two blows from front and back to paralyze it, and finally smashing its skull together to extinguish its soul fire and complete the kill!
The methods were so skilled that it was frightening.
Lin Yu was very surprised to see this scene.
His clones' methods were becoming more insidious, and their combat experience had greatly improved.
"Are clones self-learning?" This thought popped into Lin Yu's mind.
If clones could learn on their own, and if clones shared combat experience, could I share combat experience?
Thinking of this, Lin Yu became a little excited. After the clones killed another monster, he would call them back.
"Share combat experience with me!" Lin Yu commanded!
Huh?
Why no reaction?
Lin Yu continued to try, but there was still no response, which made him a little dissatisfied.
If experience could be fed back, then his clones could learn for him. Whether it was martial arts or knowledge, he could hand it over to the clones to complete, and he could just enjoy the benefits.
"Host, your current talent level does not yet possess this ability!"
"In other words, when my talent reaches A-rank, I can share experience?" Lin Yu tried to ask.
"Yes, host!"
Lin Yu was overjoyed and quickly had his two clones continue killing monsters.
Time slowly flowed by.
"Ding, killed Skeleton Mage, +2 upgrade points!"
"Ding, killed Skeleton Assassin, +2 upgrade points!"
"......."
Three hours passed, and Lin Yu had killed over a hundred monsters, accumulating more than three hundred evolution points.
However, these evolution points were still far from increasing his talent level.
So, he had the clones go a bit deeper.
This time, they indeed encountered stronger monsters.
The bones of these skeleton monsters were black, reflecting a glint of black iron.
Lin Yu knew they were Black Iron Skeleton Warriors, but even Silver Skeleton Warriors were no match for him, so why would he be afraid of Black Iron Skeleton Warriors?
He immediately ordered his clones to attack!
The two clones were still agile and insidious. Even if they could win head-on, they would never fight directly.
Their footwork was more flamboyant, and their methods were more ruthless.
Clone One attacked the monster's arm, and the monster swung its weapon to retaliate.
Clone Two took the opportunity to attack the monster's neck from behind.
A direct hit!
Bang!
The monster immediately lost its balance, and its weapon was almost knocked away.
Clone One immediately moved forward and also struck the monster's neck with a club.
Bang!
After two attacks, the monster's fragile neck could not bear the load, and with a crack, it fell to the ground and rolled far away.
Seeing this, the clones attacked in unison, smashing the skeleton's head.
This process, from front to back, seemed long, but it only took a few dozen seconds.
The clones' methods had brought the speed, accuracy, and ferocity to the extreme.
And as the clones killed more monsters, their combat methods also improved.
It was clear that clones had growth potential.
"You killed a Black Iron Skeleton Warrior, +4 upgrade points."
"You killed a Black Iron Skeleton Mage, +4 upgrade points."
"......."
One by one, monsters died, providing upgrade points for Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was overjoyed. He didn't need to fight; he just had to hide in the back and summon another wave when the clones died.
Although he could only have two clones at a time, even if these clones died, the next wave of clones would inherit their experience and abilities.
Clones became stronger and stronger with each kill.
The sky gradually darkened, and Lin Yu had accumulated a thousand upgrade points.
"System, can I upgrade my combat power rank this time?"
"It requires 900 upgrade points. Host, your upgrade points are sufficient, you can upgrade! Do you want to upgrade?"
"Upgrade! I've been waiting for this moment for too long!"
"Ding, combat power rank breakthrough in progress........"
Suddenly, golden light emanated from Lin Yu's body.
Then, he felt as if all his cells were immersed in a hot spring.
Cells were frantically absorbing energy, and his strength was constantly increasing.
This pleasure was addictive, and he let out a comfortable groan.
"So comfortable!"
The moment he groaned, the pleasure abruptly ended, leaving him wanting more.
"Ding, congratulations on your breakthrough, currently at initial Tier 1 combat power!"
"Breakthrough already? It was too easy! I didn't get to enjoy it enough?"
"Damn it, really a three-second man!"
However, despite his complaints, Lin Yu was still very excited deep down.
After all, for others to break through their cultivation realm, if they cultivated step by step, with the same B-rank talent, it would take at least three months of cultivation.
And him? It took him only two days in total.
This cultivation speed, who knows who is faster, him or Zhao Ke?
Lin Yu ended his contemplation, feeling the surging power within his body, his mouth almost splitting into a grin!
"This is Tier 1 combat power, so strong!"
Lin Yu felt his body filled with strength. He excitedly swung his fist, feeling an urge to pierce the sky.
Just then, his clones discovered a cave, and Lin Yu, excited, said:
"Perfect time to test my current strength!"
