Unless the original body is upgraded and then summoned again, their strength will never change.

But at this moment, Zhao Liu said that the current clone could become stronger through practice, which made Qin Jinnian a little surprised and unexpected.

"Well, it is true that you can become stronger through practice."

After Zhang San sensed it, he nodded in agreement with Zhao Liu's words.

“Ha, actually it’s okay if the panel strength remains the same. I’ve already found a new way to become stronger! You all should know this, right? Hahahaha…”

Zhao Liu suddenly burst into laughter.

The other clones looked at him and then nodded.

Yes, Zhao Liu found other ways to become stronger.

Super martial arts.

Before this, Qin Jinnian had no research on super martial arts, but this time when Zhao Liu returned, through his memory, Qin Jinnian discovered that Zhao Liu seemed to have obtained something extraordinary in the field of super martial arts.

Although I haven't paid attention to Zhao Liu for a long time, my experience during this period was quite exciting. I also found out where Zhao Liu's divine level abyss materials came from.

After he went to the abyss, he joined the 'Abyss Suppression Army'.

The Zhenyuan Army is one of the human armies in the abyss. Anyone who is human can apply to join the army.

After joining the army, you will receive a lot of missions. These missions are basically related to the Abyss.

Spying for intelligence, intercepting scouts, guarding cities, seizing opportunities... there are many tasks.

If you complete the task, you will get military merit.

Through military merit, you can exchange various materials in the "Zhenyuan Army".

Among them, there are divine-level materials.

Zhao Liu originally had divine cultivation and with the power of shadow, he completed a large number of tasks one after another soon after joining the Zhenyuan Army.

He even crazily raised his military rank by killing the abyss species.

By now, his military rank had reached the level of major general.

The divine-level materials were exchanged by him using his military merits.

What he got was not only the abyss materials, but also several super martial arts secret books.

Last time, the principal gave Qin Jinnian a book called "Black Sun Visualization Method", saying that this "Black Sun Visualization Method" came from the abyss.

Zhao Liu studied it, but finally found out helplessly...the visualization method is mainly to enhance mental strength.

But his body was just a clone, simulated by a shadow. No matter how much he visualized, his mental strength did not improve at all.

And to be honest, with the existence of attribute points, this method of visualization for self-cultivation is really useless for Qin Jinnian... After several months of meditation in seclusion, it might not be as much as the mental power that Qin Jinnian randomly added.

But in addition to visualization, there are various martial arts in super martial arts.

These martial arts are things that can actually improve your combat effectiveness.

Zhao Liu likes the physical-to-flesh fighting mode, and doesn't like the crushing battle through shadows. So when he found out that there was martial arts in the Zhenyuan Army, he naturally exchanged it.

Then I realized that this martial art is not useless at all.

Simply put, martial arts is about skills. The skills to perfectly exert all of one's strength.

Without martial arts, it would be good if you could exert 50% of your strength. But through martial arts, you can perfectly control your body and exert 70%, 100%, or even more than 100% of your strength! This is the role of martial arts.

Qin Jinnian couldn't help but think of the martial artist from Sakura Country whom he met when he first went to the Abyss. In terms of true cultivation, he might be a level stronger than the other party. However, the other party, relying on his super martial arts, launched an attack beyond his actual combat power, making it difficult for Qin Jinnian to defeat him in one go...

Although, not being able to use shadows at the time was also a key factor.

But no matter what, it is a fact that the opponent can launch an attack that exceeds his own strength.

It can be seen that Chaowu still has its merits.

Especially those who have become gods through super martial arts, their combat power is no less than that of super-powered people.

Zhao Liu, during this period of time, practiced super martial arts like crazy. He was worthy of being called a "martial arts madman" by Qin Jinnian. His talent in super martial arts was unexpectedly good. In just a few months, he had practiced the martial arts he exchanged for quite well.

Without using super weapons, he can unleash 100% of his own strength.

To be frank, if Qin Jinnian and Zhao Liu fought each other, without using shadow, Qin Jinnian, whose basic strength was much stronger than Zhao Liu, might not be Zhao Liu's opponent.

This was the judgment Qin Jinnian made after absorbing Zhao Liu's memory.

Recently, Zhao Liu has been studying secret skills, namely "explosive skills". According to the description of the book called "Breaking Moon Gale Slash" he got, mastering a secret skill can burst out twice the power beyond one's own limit.

The second secret skill can burst out four times.

Triple secret skills, that's eight times! This 'Moon Breaking Gale Slash' has three secret skills in total. Once mastered, it can unleash a destructive power that is eight times greater than its own...

An increase of 800 percent! It can be said to be quite terrifying.

And this, in the Zhenyuan Army, can only be regarded as an ordinary super weapon.

There are also more advanced super weapons, which have military rank requirements for redemption.

You need to be a lieutenant general, admiral or even a general to be eligible for redemption. And the military merit requirements are also extremely high.

I heard that the secret skills of the major general-level martial arts can reach a thirty-two-fold increase when they are unleashed! The limit of the self, a thirty-two-fold increase...

If it really had this kind of destructive power... Qin Jinnian felt that even the Source Realm might be untouchable.

The terrifying amplification of super martial arts secrets is also the reason why super warriors are not at all weaker than super-powered people after becoming gods... and may even be stronger.

"Before, no matter how much I practiced, my own strength would not improve at all, but now it's different..."

Zhao Liu's eyes were bright.

Zhao Liu was the most excited among all the people because of the benefits he gained from his vitality breaking through the divine level.

Because he loved fighting too much and enjoyed the process too much. He was very eager to become stronger through his own efforts... but no matter how much he practiced before, he couldn't become stronger.

But things are obviously different now.

He seemed to have found his purpose in life.

Qin Jinnian let out a long breath, and then nodded secretly in his heart.

This is undoubtedly a good thing. Now that his vitality has broken through the god level, he does not have enough attribute points.

Now his status is 'middle authority'. The limit of this status, if nothing unexpected happens, must be that both vitality and mental strength must reach 100,000.

But now, one point of mental strength and vitality requires 10,000 attribute points. Although he still has more than 200 million attribute points, when the attribute points are really added, it is only more than 20,000 points. Any one of them is not enough.

Attribute points have now become the biggest problem.

Therefore, if the clones can become stronger through their own practice, then it would be a good thing for him.

Because once they return, the strength they gain from their practice will naturally be fed back to him... Every point of improvement is equivalent to saving 10,000 attribute points.

That would be very comfortable.

When he thought of this, he suddenly had an idea.

"Zhao Liu, create a clone and see if the second-level clone also inherits this characteristic."

He suddenly thought of the second and third level clones.

Zhao Liu was startled, then grinned: "Okay."

As soon as he had a thought, a shadow appeared beside him. After entangled with him for a while, a figure appeared.

Qin Jinnian looked over...

Then his eyes lit up.

It seems... it has also been inherited? Although this clone still has no thoughts, his body seems to have become "real" just like Zhang San and the others! With a thought, he slashed the clone's neck with a shadow blade.

Suddenly, blood spurted out and the body fell to the ground...

After watching for a while...

Qin Jinnian looked at the panel and found that there was no prompt on it.

He frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

"Consume shadow points to restore the number of clones."

He wasn't sure if this would work.

And soon, the panel gave the answer.

[Consume 500,000 shadow points, and the number of clones will be restored. ]

The shadow point also consumed 500,000 in an instant.

Qin Jinnian's eyes lit up: "Summon another one."

Zhao Liu thought for a moment and summoned another one.

"Go inside this body and see if he can become stronger..."

Zhao Liu's eyes lit up, and the next moment the eyes of his clone next to him also became lively.

He lowered his head and looked around his body, clenched his fists and jumped, then the clone said, "Yes! This clone can also become stronger through its own practice!"

"Return to your true self once and see if this clone will disappear."

Qin Jinnian thought of something.

"Um?"

Zhao Liu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

He closed his eyes, but after a moment, he opened them again, blinked and said, "This clone... I can't return by myself."

"Um?"

Qin Jinnian was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, an idea came to his mind.

Suddenly, with a "bang", Zhao Liu's body turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared on the spot... Qin Jinnian forcibly took him back.

Soon, the black shadow that Zhao Liu turned into disappeared, but his secondary clone remained where he was, looking dazed and stupid.

Qin Jinnian's eyes lit up slightly.

Okay, the second level clone won’t disappear.

His mind moved, and the next moment, his consciousness descended upon this second-level clone.

As soon as he thought about it, black mist suddenly appeared beside the clone... a third-level clone appeared.

Looking at the third-level clone... I found that this third-level clone is still a 'real body'! In other words, this third-level clone is also likely to have the ability to become stronger through self-cultivation.

His eyes lit up, and the next moment his consciousness returned to the topic. He waved his hand and killed the second-level clone.

Looking at the third-level clone, it was also staying there safely.

His mind moved, and the shadows around him moved. After a moment, Zhao Liu appeared again.

"Do the second-level and third-level clones have the ability to cultivate and become stronger? It's a pity that these guys have no intelligence. I don't know if the characteristics of authority can allow them to cultivate themselves..."

Qin Jinnian thought about it and decided to do an experiment.

If the characteristics of authority really allow them to cultivate themselves...that would be great.

Isn't this the same as hanging up? Even if the efficiency is not high, it is still a big profit! After all, now every time he improves his vitality and mental strength, it is equivalent to earning 10,000 attribute points for free.

Unfortunately, these second- and third-level clones are unable to use Shadow Devouring without the guidance of his or other clones' consciousness.

Otherwise, these second and third level clones could really go to the wilderness and hang out...

I'm not afraid of death anyway.

Moreover, the third-level clones now have the seventh-level combat power, and the second-level clones have the tenth-level combat power.

On Earth, it is easy to sweep away those monsters in the wilderness.

Thinking of this, Qin Jinnian suddenly remembered something. With a thought, he used Shadow Devourer to devour the bodies of the two second-level clones on the ground.

He paid attention to his panel... and found that there were no changes in his shadow points and attribute points.

It made him a little disappointed.

Then he asked Zhao Liu: "Can you sense whether the number of clones has changed..."

Zhao Liu sensed it and said, "Just now there was one less, but now it has recovered."

"Just recovery? No extra one?"

"No."

Qin Jinnian nodded after hearing this, somewhat disappointed… It seems that recovering his clone will not gain him any extra attribute points or shadow points, but will only restore the number of clones.

However, if the number has been restored by consuming shadow points, it will not increase even if you devour corpses.

It is equivalent to losing a shadow point of a clone for nothing.

However... compared to the current function of the clone, this drawback is completely acceptable.

Then he waved his hand again and killed the third-level clone. After observing for a while, he found that the third-level clone did not disappear, so he was completely relieved.

Now, no matter who it is, it is impossible to realize that the entire Dawn is a clone of the same person.

Then he did not swallow the third-level clone directly, but made up the number of clones through shadow points.

Discovering the third level clone consumed 50,000 shadow points.

In other words... if he wants to restore the number of his direct clones like Zhang San and Li Si after the death of one of them, he needs to consume five million shadow points.

The second level clone is 500,000 points.

Level 3 clone: ​​50,000 points.

Not much.

Looking at the more than 400 million shadow spots, Qin Jinnian thought in his heart.

He still has a lot of shadow points now, which should be enough for him to break through to the next level.

But if I want to make another breakthrough... I'm not sure.

But this is not a big problem anyway. He will definitely start going to the abyss to kill abyss species in order to reach the limit as soon as possible and advance to the source realm. The shadow points will also increase greatly by then.

"There are not enough attribute points. It seems that the super energy transmission operation needs to be launched quickly."

"The situation is not right now, but I have no source of information in the Abyss. I am too passive... I have to find a way to plant some spies in the Abyss..."

He thought to himself.

After a moment, he exhaled lightly and said to the many clones who were looking at him: "Alright, everyone go back to your own business. Zhao Liu will return to the abyss. When you get there, I will give you other tasks. The others should always pay attention to the news from various channels. The important thing is not to expose your whereabouts easily."

Zhao Liuyi raised his eyebrows, grinned and responded.

The other clones also nodded and left.

Qin Jinnian sat in the underground palace, thought for a while, and then created another clone that transformed into his own appearance.

The clones in his own image had no subjective consciousness. When Qin Jinnian was not controlling them, they were controlled by authority just like the second and third level clones.

Qin Jinnian controlled his clone to leave and head for Canglan City.

At this point, he was actually looking forward to the so-called Fuyao ancestor coming to him.

"I don't know if he can find out about me..."

Qin Jinnian thought in his heart.
