"Possessing a new body?"
Seeing this phrase, Lin Yu became excited.
Although he didn't get another clone slot at S+ level, the possession ability he would receive upon the next upgrade was even more powerful than a clone.
This was a direct way to take over someone else's identity.
He had initially thought the next upgrade would grant another clone, but he hadn't expected the system to pursue innovation by offering a possession slot.
With this possession clone, couldn't he go undercover in another world?
The thought of the scenery in another world, coupled with the prospect of acquiring vast resources through possession and feeding them back to his main body, made his heart begin to anticipate.
If this possession clone fared well in the future, it might even become the ruler of a world.
By then, he would have the resources of an entire world at his disposal. Just thinking about it filled him with excitement.
He wondered what kind of new clones would appear after SSS grade?
He was filled with anticipation and felt a strong urge to level up his talent clones.
Glancing at the sky, it had already darkened. Lin Yu went to the cafeteria for a meal, then returned to the library and silently willed his clones.
A white light flashed, illuminating the entire library.
Then, two hundred clones appeared around him.
Lin Yu waved his hand grandly and instructed, "Go and read, everyone. For our bright future, let's all work hard!"
After encouraging the clones, he watched them disperse to find books. Lin Yu also turned and left the library, returning to his Villa Number Nine.
It was late. He took a shower, browsed the internet, and then went to bed.
Lin Yu yawned and went to wash up.
After he finished washing up, he opened his wristband to watch the daily news.
This was a news application he checked almost every day.
From here, he could get a lot of the latest information.
[April 1st, the original human settlement in the Canglan Northern Region has now been taken over by our human race. The Canglan humans in the settlement are currently under supervision. According to preliminary statistics, the Canglan settlement is about one-third the size of our human territory, but most of the area is cold and not suitable for habitation.]
[April 2nd, joyous news has arrived from various regions. The sale of spoils from the Canglan humans has been successful, with frequent breakthroughs in cultivation bottlenecks and strengthening of our human race's power. Let us celebrate warmly.]
"This news about the Canglan humans is endless. Skip it, I'm tired of it!"
He clicked on another news item to view it.
[This afternoon, the Guixu experienced immense turmoil. Informed sources revealed that a massive black vortex appeared in the Guixu, from which a giant claw emerged. It was repelled by a beam of sword light.]
[The source of the sword light is likely Senior Sword God, and the black vortex is estimated to be a spatial channel from another world. Judging by the size of this vortex, this is not a weak world. Afterward, our Blue Star races may face another alien invasion. If this is a world where gods exist, this would be the second invasion by a god-tier world in fifty years.]
[Today's Report: The Nanshan Slaughterhouse in Central City saw the deaths of hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts overnight. What exactly happened? Upon investigation, a part-time employee from the Beastmaster Academy was found at the scene, appearing dazed, with abnormal expressions and trembling all over, suspected of suffering mental trauma. The employee has been sent to the hospital for treatment. Nanshan Slaughterhouse states that they will cover all medical expenses for the employee and provide thirty thousand star coins in mental compensation upon their recovery. The police have launched an investigation.]
Lin Yu put down his wristband and looked at the news with a strange expression.
"This wouldn't be Lin Fan, would it?" he murmured to himself.
He remembered that Lin Fan was working part-time at a slaughterhouse.
"Let me see what Lin Fan is doing." He quickly communicated with his talent, linking to Lin Fan.
Now that his talent had been upgraded, the connection was easier, and his mental power had roughly doubled. He could now control within a five-kilometer radius.
This meant that within ten miles, his clones could operate. He was one step closer to the AFK life of battling monsters while relaxing at home.
With his eyes slightly closed, he connected to Lin Fan.
Central City.
A certain hospital.
Psychiatry department.
A certain ward.
A certain hospital bed.
A young man was shoveling food into his mouth, as if the food in front of him had wronged him.
After a while, having finally eaten his fill, he put down his chopsticks and let out a long sigh.
"Phew, that was close. Fortunately, I, Lin Fan, am clever and pretended to be foolish at the last minute. Only then did they not notice anything abnormal. After all, who would have thought that I alone could kill so many ferocious beasts?"
"Heh heh, but one thing is for sure, I didn't make a move. It was all the puppets, so what does it have to do with me?"
"Aiya, I'll have a good sleep today, collect the compensation tomorrow, and then head back to the academy. I killed so many monsters, my main body should be very happy."
"My main body will definitely give me a holiday. Aiya, sleep, sleep!"
He didn't know that his main body was watching him at this very moment. Lin Yu felt relieved upon seeing this, but then couldn't help but laugh.
This guy was truly—
—a sly one!
He withdrew his consciousness, and Lin Yu also smiled, lying down on the bed, closing his eyes, and slowly drifting off to sleep.
At this very moment.
Most people had already fallen asleep.
However, the cabinet was exceptionally lively.
Normally, the cabinet only had thirteen members for meetings: the deans of the ten major academies, the Elder, the Grand General, and the Chairman of Void Technologies, totaling thirteen individuals who formed the cabinet and represented various interests.
But today, there were more than a dozen additional people in the cabinet, including the lords of various border cities, reclusive hermits, and, of course, the Sword God.
Moreover, the Sword God was seated next to the Elder, both occupying the honored seats at the head.
The Elder said, "Regarding this alien invasion incident, we have invited His Excellency the Sword God to make a statement."
As his words fell, everyone turned to look at the Sword God.
The Sword God remained solemn and expressionless. The Elder sighed inwardly at this.
After a while, the Sword God finally spoke, "Words are not enough to prove anything. Verbal accounts are too weak. You must see for yourselves!"
He waved his hand, and a holographic projection was released.
Everyone watched as the originally calm sky suddenly changed. A massive black vortex appeared.
Immediately afterward, a giant claw tore at the vortex, as if trying to break free from within.
The claw occupied half the sky, immense and terrifying, making people feel a chill even through the projection.
Many people's minds conjured a thought: This is the claw of a god!
Then, a beam of sword light flew out, repelling the claw.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent, their hearts filled with immense shock.
How powerful was this man?
Although it was only a claw, the fact that it could be injured by a single sword strike implied the ability to harm a god!
The Sword God explained, "I exerted my full strength for this strike, and my qi and blood were significantly depleted. I will need a few days of rest to recover fully. The opponent, however, only suffered a superficial wound. Therefore, I conclude that this is a god! A ninth-tier ferocious beast could not withstand this attack!"
"According to precedent, every time a god-tier world appears, it is accompanied by an invasion. We should prepare early!"
"Although they cannot enter, such worlds often have numerous ninth-tier powerhouses."
"We only need to defend our territory. As for other exits from the Guixu, we can only trouble the other alien races."
"If they defend successfully, all will be well. If they fail, they will inevitably have their territories encroached upon, or even become food and slaves to the enemy."
"We must fight, and we cannot harbor any侥幸心理. This battle requires the joint effort of all parties!"
The Elder also stated:
"The Sword God is correct. There can be no侥幸心理 in this battle. We hope everyone can contribute their part."
