Chapter 278 Three Clones, Strength Shooting Up!
The bronze-colored glow flashed, looking mesmerizing and beautiful.
Ding!
“Congratulations, you’ve obtained ten ten-years time emblem.”
Hearing the notification, Sun Mo whistled. As expected of a diamond treasure chest. This reward was really good. Not only was it practical, but the value would boil down to about 10,000 favorable impression points. It was a great win for Sun Mo.
Sun Mo sat in the backyard and enjoyed the cooling autumn breeze while assessing the skills he had grasped for now.
The ancient massaging technique was his trump card. Moreover, it’d also hold great weight in his life as a great teacher. Therefore, he needed to increase the proficiency index as much as possible. “System, level up the circulation technique and bone setting technique!”
Sun Mo instructed. Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two time emblems disappeared, and a green light shone like a flash on Sun Mo’s body. A lot of profound knowledge and experience appeared in his mind.

“F*ck your mom, can’t you change to another color?”
No matter how many times he looked at it, this green color was still very irritating.
“If one wishes to get on with life, how can there not be a bit of green?”
The system teased.
Ding!
“Congratulations, your circulation technique and bone setting technique have been raised to the grandmaster-grade!”
“Congratulations, your ancient massaging technique’s four branches and basic massaging technique have all been raised to the grandmaster-grade. You’re rewarded with one of the three minor branches—the skin nurturing technique. The proficiency index is at the expert-grade!”
“This skill is primarily a beautifying one. After using it, the target’s skin will become smoother and more tender. Their melanin and wrinkles can be lightened, as the skin locks in moisture and nutrients, maintaining youthfulness. If one received this massage for a long period of time, their skin’s age could be maintained at about 25 years old. This is a saint-tier art for making one beautiful and youthful.”
The system explained.
Sun Mo was stunned when he listened to this. If this skin nurturing technique was really as amazing as what the system suggested it to be, then he’d definitely become the friend to all ladies.
Women love beauty. It was a necessity for them. What items were the most popular in the world? Cosmetics!
In order to look beautiful and young, women would go all out. They didn’t care if they had to go through surgery or get botox injections just so that their skin could look smoother and that they’d seem younger.
“Friend to all ladies? You’ve undermined the skin nurturing technique. If your proficiency index is at the ancestor-grade, you’ll be the God for all women!”
The system let out a proud snort.
At that time, all the women would queue up to want to sleep with Sun Mo so that they could enjoy the skin nurturing technique. However, no matter how amazing this art was, it was just a beautifying one. It couldn’t make one stronger and thus was classified under one of the three minor branches.
“Hehe!”
Sun Mo took a deep breath and moved his fingers. Upon having five grandmaster-grade techniques, he felt very fulfilled. “System, raise the Flame Explosion Spirit Runes Technique.” Another round of green light flashed. Ding!
“Congratulations, your Flame Explosion Spirit Runes Technique has been raised to the grandmaster-grade!”
“Excellent. Next would be the great teacher halos. Use one time emblem on each great teacher halo except for Priceless Advice.”
Sun Mo’s Priceless Advice was at the grandmaster-grade, and it was sufficient for now.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Light kept on flashing on Sun Mo’s body and a tremendous amount of information gushed into his brain, germinating in his nerve cells and getting imprinted. Ding! “Congratulations, your Ignorant and Incompetent, Soul Imprint, Misleading Students, Encyclopedic Knowledge, and Teacher for a Day, Father for Life have been raised to the expert-grade from the elementary-grade. From today onward, not only would the range of radiation be wider, but they could also be sustained longer!”
“Congratulations host, your strength has risen again!”
“Cool!”
Sun Mo clenched his fists. This feeling of using the time emblems without any restraints felt really good. However, he had two more left. What should he use them on?
The Immemorial Vairocana was already at the grandmaster-grade, allowing him to gain one cultivation art within 30 moves. It was sufficient for now. Moreover, even if Sun Mo wished to raise it, he’d need a lot of time emblems.
Wind King Divine Art?
Sun Mo gave it some thought but still decided to give up. This was an archery technique and wouldn’t benefit him much. He could consider the Wind King Divine Steps, but in the end, Sun Mo still decided to raise the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art.
This was the Skyraise Academy’s ultimate divine art that had proven itself again and again over the course of several thousand years. Moreover, Sun Mo also needed a trump card to hold his stand.
As his reputation rose, Sun Mo would encounter more challenges. He wished to crush his opponents in terms of both knowledge and martial prowess.
Level six of the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art was the Universe Formless Clone Technique. At level seven, it’d be a whole new domain.
At this level, the cultivator’s body would go through self-adjustment, which made up for weaknesses and flaws in their moves, gradually implementing improvements.
This level allowed the cultivator to become perfect and flawless.
“System, raise the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art!”
Sun Mo instructed.
The time emblem disappeared and the green light lit up again. However, this time around, Sun Mo experienced intense sharp pain in his head. It was as if an electric drill had drilled into it, stirring up and mashing his brain. Thereafter, a tearing pain spread through his body. It was as if his limbs were being tugged at, trying to dismember him.
“Ahh!”
Even with Sun Mo’s endurance, he couldn’t help but cry out loud.
Thankfully, the process didn’t last for long.
Ding! “Congratulations, your Universe Formless Clone Technique has been increased to three clones. Please keep up the good work!”
The system congratulated Sun Mo.
“What? It didn’t rise to level 7?”
Sun Mo frowned.
“It didn’t. Level 7 is still far away and even ten time emblems wouldn’t be enough to reach it. Moreover, you haven’t even cultivated level 6 to the major-completion stage!”
The system explained.
With a single thought, a bang rang out from Sun Mo’s body, sending a tremendous amount of spirit qi around. Then, three clones darted
out.
Other than the solemn faces, it was hard to see any differences between the clones and the actual person.
“Attack me!”
After Sun Mo said that, the three clones drew out their sandalwood blade from their waist and attacked him. The surprising thing was that they weren’t battling individually but were jointly attacking, putting up formations. “F*ck!”
Sun Mo didn’t expect this. Moreover, the clones’ speed was extremely fast. He tried to dodge for a while but was still lashed by a wooden blade on the back of his head. He was in so much pain that he jumped up. “Stop! Stop!”
Sun Mo quickly stopped them.
“What’s with the wooden blade and moves?”
Sun Mo was baffled. He noticed that the wooden blades of the clones also had the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art’s incantation on them!
“The clones are created based on yourself, using your spirit qi as the raw ingredient. However, there’d be differences in durability.
“They can perform some simple orders and won’t be able to complete battle tactics that are too complicated. Moreover, their prowess when using your other cultivation arts would be slightly weaker,” explained the system.
“I understand!”
Sun Mo nodded and got rid of the clones.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The clones shattered into three balls of spirit qi, scattering into the air. Sun Mo stretched. He saw that it was still early, so he was planning to look for An Xinhui to borrow the old headmaster’s book collection to read. However, he had just stepped out of the villa when the system’s voice rang out once again. “Mission released. Please save Cai Tan and salvage this fallen genius. After succeeding, you’ll be given a silver treasure chest as a reward!”
Sun Mo had planned on observing more, but since the system had issued a mission, he’d take care of this matter!
At the female dorm.
The young girls entered and left the dorm. Their pure and innocent aura seemed to make the entire dorm building be filled with a strawberry scent. “Look, that’s Teacher Sun!”
When someone noticed Sun Mo, they shouted. Quite a number of female students immediately leaned on their windows, looking down.
“So handsome!”
“He’s my cup of tea!”
“Isn’t he too handsome? Oh my, Teacher smiled at me.”
“Bullshit, Teacher is smiling at me. I can’t take it anymore. This smile is so warm that I’m going to be drunk in it.”
The girls chattered amongst themselves, and several of them decided to listen to Sun Mo’s lecture tomorrow. What was it? It didn’t match their specialties?
That didn’t matter. What Sun Mo talked about wasn’t important. It was fine as long as his face was handsome!
“Ruan Yun, quickly come and take a look! Teacher Sun is so handsome!”
Ruan Yun’s dorm mate called out to her.
Ruan Yun didn’t move. She only had Cai Tan in her heart.
“Stop calling her. Other than Cai Tan, Ruan Yun probably thinks that all other guys are trash.” A dorm mate teased. They knew that the love between this pair of childhood friends was stronger than gold. Ruan Yun was beautiful and Cai Tan had been famous. They had quite a number of suitors, but they rejected all of them.
Cai Tan was crippled half a year ago and had even been defeated by a first-year student in the battle hall’s examination, completely losing face. However, Ruan Yun didn’t despise Cai Tan and stood by him, taking care of him. Their love story spread through the entire female dorm, and Ruan Yun’s image and reputation soared quickly.
“Ruan Yun, Teacher Sun is looking for you!”
When a girl knocked on room 302’s door and notified Ruan Yun, all the dorm mates’ gazes landed on her.
Ruan Yun, who was lying in bed, frowned. “Ruan Yun, go quickly. Don’t let Teacher Sun wait for too long!”
“You can ask Teacher Sun for help. Your Cai Tan might have a chance to be saved!”
Seeing that Ruan Yun was hesitating, a few of the girls quickly reminded her. Sun Mo’s reputation was too great and since he had taken the initiative to look for her, there must be something he needed. It was best not to treat him too coldly.
Ruan Yun left.
“Do you guys think we should follow her and try to get closer to Teacher Sun?”
A few of Ruan Yuan’s dorm mates were hesitant but still decided to give up on it. They were worried that they might infuriate Sun Mo. The chances of getting to meet a teacher of this level were very precious. If they were to disturb the teacher when there was nothing important, then they’d have a high chance of getting rejected the next time. Therefore, they must make use of the opportunity wisely.
“Teacher Sun, you’re looking for me?”
Ruan Yun lowered her attitude, but her tone still emitted coldness that would keep others far away.
“Let’s head to the lake. I have something to talk to you about!”
Sun Mo suggested.
Ruan Yun hesitated for a moment before following a few meters behind Sun Mo.
There were always couples taking a stroll by the Sorrowless Lake.
The Central Province Academy’s culture was quite open-minded. They didn’t forbid love relationships but didn’t promote it either.
After finding a place with few people, Sun Mo went straight to the point. “Ruan Yun, Cai Tan is about to die soon!”
“What?”
Ruan Yun was stunned then shook her head. “Impossible!”
