Chapter 63: Please Let Me Face Battle with Composure!

【Imprint】: You can create a Doppelganger that inherits all your attributes. (Doppelganger: 1 / 2) (Can be upgraded)

Trait: The Doppelganger inherits all your attributes, and you inherit all the Doppelganger’s attributes. (Cannot be inherited repeatedly)

Trait: Injuries to the main body are equally shared between the Doppelganger and the main body, while injuries to the Doppelganger do not affect the main body.

Jiang Yan continued to refine his second Doppelganger.

An hour passed.

Jiang Yan stopped absorbing the Gengjin homogenous energy and nodded with satisfaction at the golden figure before him.

Next, he only needed to set the character model, and the other would be indistinguishable from a real person.

To his surprise, he discovered that he could hide these Doppelgangers in a Chaos space. Even more astonishing, the Doppelgangers hidden in the Chaos space could still share their attributes with Jiang Yan.

An invisible thread seemed to connect Jiang Yan and the two Doppelgangers.

In this state, Jiang Yan’s Combat Power doubled. Attacks from others would have two-thirds of their damage borne by the Doppelgangers. Combined with his Traits and his Physical Body, which had already undergone countless rounds of Tempering, his defense would reach an incredibly formidable level!

Jiang Yan remained in the Spirit Gathering Chamber.

A week later.

The System Log updated.

“Congratulations, you have successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the third-grade Innate Perfection.”

“Hah~”

Jiang Yan exhaled a turbid breath. For a week, he had neither eaten nor drunk. When tired, he used 【Premonition】 to catch up on sleep, occasionally placing orders on his student card to have Spirit Gathering Liquid delivered.

After staying like this for a week, Jiang Yan’s cultivation finally reached Innate Perfection.

Jiang Yan glanced at the mountain of bottles and jars piled before him, said nothing, stored them all in his Spatial Ring, stood up, and left the Spirit Gathering Chamber.

In the control room, Zhao Gongming wore a worried expression.

“He’s insane. This kid must be insane, risking his life just for cultivation.”

“Also, the semester is about to start. The Spirit Gathering Chambers are nearly impossible to reserve. There’s no way we can allocate six Spirit Gathering Devices to him anymore.”

“No, even if he’s Principal Qin’s illegitimate child, he can’t abuse privileges like this. I need to talk to Principal Qin about this again.”

Over the past few days, he had occasionally checked the control room, only to find this young man still in Spirit Gathering Chamber No. 6 every time.

He didn’t eat, didn’t drink, didn’t sleep, stubbornly pushing himself to the limit like this.

It was as if he had never cultivated in his previous life.

Watching Jiang Yan leave, Zhao Gongming breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

“Please don’t come back. The Spirit Gathering Devices are really running short.”

As the semester approached, Jiang Yan walked along the road and noticed many more students around, walking in twos and threes, chatting and laughing.

“Oh right, I’ve been so focused on cultivation these days that I lost track of time. It turns out there are only two days left until the semester starts.”

As Jiang Yan thought this, he suddenly heard several voices from behind.

“Hey, isn’t that Jiang Yan? Did he really enroll in our Divine Capital Martial University?”

“I’m so envious. I wonder how much the school paid to recruit such a treasure.”

“I watched the Live Stream. This College Entrance Exam champion is the real deal, dominating everyone effortlessly.”

“Jiang Yan!”

Someone called out loudly to him.

Jiang Yan waved back in acknowledgment. All he wanted now was to return to his dormitory and take a good bath, so he quickened his pace and soon disappeared from everyone’s sight.

“Hehe, turns out the College Entrance Exam champion is socially awkward~”

“Sis, let me tell you, boys like him are the easiest to flirt with. I think I have a chance.”

“Hahahaha, you old turtledove still have a chance, I haven’t even spoken yet!”

“Get lost!”

……

Jiang Yan took a bath, leaning over the edge of the bathtub, his nerves more relaxed than ever before.

After sleeping for an hour, Jiang Yan entered the Battle Space once again.

At this point, the Law Beast’s attacks had become very limited, no longer reaching the level of Tempering his Physical Body as before.

But even a mosquito is still meat.

Jiang Yan planned to use this time to let the Law Beast help him max out the [Titan Module].

[Titan Module]: Increases defense by 110% (originally 100%) (maximum 200%).

Jiang Yan stood still in place, countless attacks landing on him like massage sticks, their frequency so fast that even the After-Images were indistinguishable.

Over the course of the night, his defense increased by another 10 percentage points, reaching 120%.

Although the Law Beast posed little threat to Jiang Yan now, it presented him with another problem.

He couldn’t touch the Law Beast!

Its unparalleled speed allowed it to escape perfectly even if it couldn’t win.

“Sigh, this is indeed a problem.”

Jiang Yan currently had no means to deal with this Law Beast.

But he wasn’t in a hurry. Even if he could kill the Law Beast, Jiang Yan would still wait until the Titan Module was maxed out.

The ultimate laborer—Law Beast.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the campus.

“Brother, maybe we should just forget it. I feel like I’ve already moved on.”

Shang Xingren tugged at Shang Yueren’s sleeve, a hint of apprehension on his face.

“No, he has already become your Heart Demon. If you can’t face him head-on, you’ll never be able to heal the scar in your heart.”

“Brother, I…”

“Don’t say anymore. Today, I must take you to fight Jiang Yan again. Win or lose, I want to see composure on your face.”

Shang Xingren wanted to say something more, but Shang Yueren ended the discussion with one sentence:

“This is Father’s decision. He doesn’t care about your failure, but he is very disappointed with your performance. I hope you understand.”

Shang Xingren gritted his teeth, a flash of determination crossing his face.

“Alright, I’ll fight Jiang Yan again. This time, I’ll fight with composure!”

Shang Yueren smiled with satisfaction and patted his younger brother’s shoulder.

“Good, very good. This is the kind of man the Shang Family raises!”

Through rumors, the two found out the location of Jiang Yan’s dormitory.

“Jiang Yan came to the Divine Capital some time ago. He should be at the school now.”

……

Outside the villa, on the spacious lawn, Jiang Yan was sparring with his two Doppelgangers.

The two Doppelgangers took on the golden hue of Geng Metal Primordial Qi, existing as energy entities.

The Doppelgangers shared Jiang Yan’s thoughts, so the sparring was essentially move for move, with neither side able to break the other’s techniques.

It was like playing chess against oneself, making it difficult to determine a winner.

However, he could still improve his Physical Body and hone his Martial Skills and Saber Techniques by fighting the Doppelgangers.

But after testing, the effect was far inferior to the Battle Space.

In the Battle Space, Jiang Yan could revive and make significant improvements by risking his life, but he couldn’t fight like that in reality, as it could easily damage his foundation.

From a distance, Jiang Yan saw two figures walking toward him.

He withdrew the Doppelgangers into the Chaos Space.

“Hey, Brother, that person is Jiang Yan!”

“I see him.”

Shang Yueren grabbed Shang Xingren by the collar and frowned as he asked.

“Why are you running?”

Shang Xingren looked embarrassed, thinking to himself, “Damn, it’s become a habit.”

Shang Yueren glared at him and said coldly:

“Remember what I said—win or lose, stay composed, conquer your Heart Demon.”

“I remember!”

Shang Xingren clenched his fists, trying to keep his expression natural, repeating the words under his breath.

“Win or lose, stay composed.”

“Win or lose, stay composed.”
