I Have Countless Clones

Chapter 50 - 50 Day of the Examination

50 Day of the Examination

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the day of the examination, according to Willow Academy’s notice, Lin Shen arrived at the academy’s entrance early in the morning.

When he got there, there were already six people waiting at the door.

Apart from Su Nian, there were also Wang Chaowei and Liu Shaoming whom he had met during the competition. The other three were also familiar faces. They were all rather famous third-year students.

Including Lin Shen, the seven people present were ordinary students of the Willow Academy who were participating in this year’s examination.

They would take a private bus to the examination venue.

As for the other 23 disciples of influential families who were participating in the examination, they would get there in their own vehicles.

In fact, Su Nian could also choose the same method as the other disciples of influential families. However, he had always been independent. In addition, with Lin Shen around, he chose to gather at the academy and set off with the others.

“Looks like I’m the last to arrive.” Lin Shen smiled and greeted Su Nian.

“It’s okay. It’s not time yet.”

When he saw Lin Shen, a smile appeared on Su Nian’s calm face. It was as if flowers were blooming in spring. He was as beautiful as a picture, and the boys beside him were stunned.

Even Lin Shen was a little stunned. When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly repeated in his head, “That’s a man.”

After reciting it several times, he secretly wiped his sweat.

That was close. He had almost stepped into an unknown area.

No one knew how Su Nian turned out his way. He was a man, but he was even more beautiful than a woman. It was incredible.

Su Nian didn’t care about the expressions and reactions of the people around him. He was already used to similar gazes and could ignore them.

After talking for a moment, Lin Shen saw the car slowly drive toward them from the corner of his eye. It then stopped in front of the academy.

Kong Hong got out of the car and glanced around. Seeing that everyone was there, he waved at them.

“Get in.”

Everyone filed into the car.

There were less than ten people on the spacious bus. Apart from the seven students, there was only Kong Hong and the driver.

“I won’t say anything else. I believe you’ve already made a lot of preparations for today.”

After the car started, Kong Hong came to the middle of the aisle. He looked at the seven students solemnly and said,

“What you need to do next is to do your best and achieve outstanding results in the exam!

“As long as you can successfully enter the Nine Yang Academy, you will have a bright future!”

His simple words made Liu Shaoming and the others’ eyes light up with excitement.

Entering the Nine Yang Academy was a dream for students like them since they were young.

Now that the opportunity to realize their dreams was right in front of them, as long as they took this step, they would be able to welcome a new and bright life. How could this not make them extremely excited?

Apart from Lin Shen and Su Nian, the other five candidates in the carriage were so excited that their faces turned red.

Kong Hong’s gaze swept across the calm Lin Shen and Su Nian, and a hint of admiration flashed across his eyes.

Among the seven intermediate candidates, he was most optimistic about Lin Shen and Su Nian.

Especially Lin Shen. It wasn’t easy for him to have such achievements despite his poor family background.

“It’s a pity. If Lin Shen had been born a disciple of influential families, even if he was only one of the ten preeminent families, his achievements would probably not be inferior to Yan Xing and Zhao Xueying!”

Kong Hong sighed in his heart.

As a teacher, he had experienced at least 20 examinations over the years. He had a deeper understanding than others of the gap between the disciples of influential families and ordinary students.

The gap between the two was like heaven and earth, and it wasn’t so easy to cross.

Ordinary students lacked powerful martial arts techniques and the guidance of a master. No matter how outstanding their talent was, it was difficult for them to grow faster than the top disciples of influential families.

After all, the latter had equally outstanding talent but sufficient cultivation resources.

Fortunately, with Lin Shen’s strength, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to enter the Nine Yang Academy,” Kong Hong thought to himself.

He restrained his distracting thoughts and continued loudly.

“Someone will be in charge of explaining the specific rules of the examination when we arrive at the scene. Now, you guys should conserve your energy and prepare for the next examination!”

After saying this, Kong Hong did not say anything else and returned to his seat in the front row.

Seeing this, Lin Shen and Su Nian closed their eyes at the same time and leaned back in their chairs to rest.

The other five looked restless.

Nervousness, uneasiness, and excitement, all kinds of emotions emerged one after another, making it impossible for them to calm down.

Liu Shaoming secretly glanced at Lin Shen and couldn’t help but clench his fists.

In the competition, although he had obtained third place, he still couldn’t feel happy.

After all, he had been defeated by Lin Shen in one move in front of everyone, and he had been defeated in an extremely miserable manner.

In the eyes of the others, Liu Shaoming had become a stepping stone to Lin Shen’s glorious achievements. This made him very indignant.

“Thanks to the Origin Pill, I’ve already broken through to the sixth level of Qi Transformation. As long as I get better results than Lin Shen in the next exam, I can prove to everyone I’m not weaker than Lin Shen!”

Liu Shaoming clenched his fists and took a deep breath to encourage himself.

The carriage soon fell silent, and only the low sound of an engine could be heard.

Half an hour later, the bus successfully arrived at the location of the examination, a manor in the suburbs.

After entering the manor, Kong Hong separated from the students and headed to the exclusive waiting area for the teachers.

...

As for Lin Shen and the others, they went to the square that had been specially opened as a rendezvous point.

When they got there, they realized there were already 400 to 500 teenagers gathered in the square.

At a glance, the place was packed. They were all young men and women who were 18 or 19 years old and brimming with vitality.

It was worth mentioning that the crowd was clearly divided into two sides.

The side with fewer people only had about a hundred. Their expressions and actions were a little reserved. Although they tried their best to hide it, one could still see they were a little nervous.

The other side had more people, and all of them had confident smiles on their faces. Their demeanor was calm, and they held their heads high.

They gathered in groups of twos and threes and chatted softly. From time to time, they would let out low laughter.

Occasionally, they would look at the crowd on the other side and subconsciously give the latter a condescending glance, revealing their superiority.

It might not be obvious on ordinary days, but on a special occasion like the exam, the estrangement between ordinary students and the disciples of influential families was apparent.

“Social class is so boring.”

Su Nian snorted and walked straight to the corner.

...

Lin Shen smiled and followed him.

“You two are finally here.”

Yang Zhongyi ran out of nowhere and came to the two of them with a smile.

Liu Shaoming and the others had wanted to stay with Lin Shen and Su Nian, but when they saw Yang Zhongyi coming over, they immediately stopped and looked at each other.

After hesitating for a few seconds, they turned around and left, walking towards the side where many ordinary students were gathered.

Yang Zhongyi didn’t care about Liu Shaoming and the others. He came to Lin Shen and Su Nian’s side and smiled smugly.

“How are you doing? Are you confident about the exam? You need to be careful about me. My Blazing Sun Palm has also reached Mastery. I’m as capable as the two of you!”

Su Nian glanced at Yang Zhongyi and said indifferently, “Unfortunately, I’ve broken through to the seventh level of Qi Transformation.”

Yang Zhongyi was stunned when he heard this. He sized up Su Nian a few times and said doubtfully,

“Really? How did you break through so quickly? I remember you advanced to the sixth level less than two months ago, right?”

Su Nian didn’t say anything and only glanced at Lin Shen.

He meant Lin Shen was even faster.

That was especially convincing, and Yang Zhongyi was instantly speechless.
