Escape?
If he could escape, he would have done it already. There was no need for him to use the Blood Explosion Spell!
Mutual destruction?
He didn"t even know which one of them was the real Lin Shen. How could he bring his enemy down?
He had a 1/6 success rate, so he couldn"t muster the courage to make the bet!
As he thought about it, Ding Leng suddenly felt that something was wrong.
This kid could clearly finish him off quickly, but why did his attacks seem to be slowing down?
Ding Leng suddenly came to his senses. This kid was clearly stalling for time. He wanted to wait for the effect of the Blood Explosion to disappear!
He was right.
Lin Shen indeed had this idea.
Although he could kill Ding Leng with his full strength, the latter"s final counterattack might also lead to the death of his clone.
Lin Shen didn"t want to lose a clone here, so he might as well stall for time.
When the effect of his enemy"s martial technique disappeared and the side effects began to backfire, he could easily take care of this man.
Unfortunately, it was too late for Ding Leng to realize it.
At this moment, the blood mist on his body was so thin that it was almost invisible.
After he was struck by a clone once more, Ding Leng stiffened abruptly, and the color on his face faded away. His vitality, energy, and spirit were visibly declining at a rapid rate.
Blood Explosion"s effect disappeared!
The aftereffects had already begun to surface.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Shen and his five clones launched a fierce attack at the same time.
The surging blazing spiritual essence almost materialized, dyeing the entire cave red.
"No!"
Ding Leng"s eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with horror.
In the next second, a surging heat wave swept over and drowned him!
BOOM!
With a loud bang, the cave seemed to tremble, and countless rocks fell.
The five clones instantly dissipated. Lin Shen put down his hand and retreated, landing four to five meters away.
Ding Leng had already turned into a corpse on the ground and was dead!
Lin Shen ignored the corpse on the ground and focused on experiencing the enlightenment that emerged in his mind.
The moment he killed Yuan Lifei and Ding Leng, the effect of Testify by Killing was triggered.
The first time, the effect increased the cultivation progress of his Forbidden Golden Armor by 12%.
The second time increased his cultivation by 7%.
At this point, Lin Shen"s cultivation level had already reached Level 2, 98%. He was only a step away from breaking through to Level 3.
"As expected, the probability of triggering the talent effect is higher if I kill creatures with higher cultivation levels than me!"
Lin Shen heaved a sigh of relief.
After half a day of fighting in the mountain, he had a rough understanding of the effect of Testify by Killing.
For example, ordinary creatures like sparrows, mountain rats, and snakes without any cultivation wouldn"t trigger the talent effect of Testify by Killing no matter how many he killed.
Perhaps the probability wasn"t zero, but it was definitely very low.
It was very likely that even if he killed ten thousand of them, he might not be able to trigger the talent effect once.
Even if it was triggered, the increase it provided was probably pitifully small.
Then there were those whose cultivation levels were lower than his.
For example, the probability of triggering the effect by killing a Spirit Awakening spiritual beast was about one in a thousand.
The increase was also very weak.
Occasionally, the effect would give increase by 1% or 2%. Most of the time, it was lower than 1%.
Then, there were those with cultivation levels that were similar to his.
For example, the probability of triggering it by killing an Ascension Stage spiritual beast was about 1% to 2%. The increased range was also relatively considerable.
And the one with the highest probability of triggering the effect was undoubtedly when he killed a creature with a higher cultivation level than him.
For example, the two people on the ground had both triggered the talent effect of Testify by Killing.
Of course, because the number of kills was small, he couldn"t test the specific probability of triggering it for the time being.
It was worth mentioning that the increase after triggering the talent effect wasn"t fixed.
Sometimes, there would be situations where killing creatures of a lower stage would trigger the talent effect, but the increase would be higher than killing creatures of a higher stage.
For example, after killing the Black-scaled Python, his improvement was much greater than when he killed Yuan Lifei and Ding Leng.
[Name: Lin Shen]
[Talent: Testify by Killing]
[Stage: Long Breath Stage Level 2, 98%]
[Cultivation techniques: Golden Crow Scripture (Proficient 9%), Blazing Sun Palm (Perfection), Shadows (Perfection), Meltdown (Mastery 1%), Dragon Roar Through the Clouds (Proficient 65%), Forbidden Golden Armor (Proficient 62%), Mortal Restrain (Proficient 12%)]
[Number of clones: 5 (22%)]
Looking at the data on the interface, Lin Shen smiled.
After entering the mountain for half a day, the increase in his cultivation and martial technique stage was comparable to the gains from cultivating for four to five days.
Testify by Killing was indeed a useful weapon that could quickly increase one"s strength!
The only troublesome thing was that every time he killed an enemy, he had to switch to Testify by Killing.
This would inevitably affect the battle.
Of course, compared to the benefits of Testify by Killing, this inconvenience was completely acceptable.
Calming himself down, Lin Shen looked at the two corpses on the ground and began to search through them.
Both of them had storage equipment on them. What surprised Lin Shen was that Ding Leng"s storage equipment was actually a storage bag.
"That"s right. This is just the right time to upgrade my gear. I don"t
have to spend three minor merits to exchange for it at the Merit Hall!"
Lin Shen looked delighted and hurriedly opened the storage bag.
Just like the storage jade plate, the storage bag didn"t have any restrictions. Anyone could open it.
The s.p.a.ce inside was about 300 to 400 square meters, which far exceeded the storage jade plate.
Lin Shen quickly examined it. The s.p.a.ce in the storage bag was mostly filled. Most of it was all kinds of survival supplies. It was probably Ding Leng"s preparation for this trip, or he was planning to give it to Yuan Lifei..
