Trial

Baiyun County, in an unknown manor.

"The World of Martial Arts? The Golden Mantis sect? The Golden Mantis Refining Shape Technique? The Trial?"

ZAck woke up leisurely in the simple room, his eyes full of confusion.

He has crossed over! ! !

Through memory fusion, Zack knows that this is a world where martial arts are flourishing, where the strong cultivators who come and go dominate everything, and the weak can only survive in humility.

Because the village where the original owner of this body was located was affected by the aftermath of the battle of the powerful cultivator in the past, so the whole village was almost razed to the ground.

The original owner escaped by hiding in the cellar, and he became a little beggar who made a living by begging.

The Golden Mantis sect is one of the three major sects in Baiyun County. In order to cultivate the backbone of the sect, the Gold Mantis sect recruits a group of 14 or 15-year old orphans and beggars every few years, and brings them to the manor to teach martial arts for a period of one year.

During this year, those with outstanding talents who have mastered the first level of the "The Golden Mantis Refining Shape Technique" can be used as the backbone of the sect to focus on cultivating.

Ordinary talents who cannot reach the first level will be filled into the sect as thugs.

This was a good thing for Zack, who made a living by begging. Because he joined the Gold Mantis sect, at least he doesn't have to be a beggar and going hungry, and he can earn for a living. But the problem is that the Gold Mantis sect is not a good sect, what they need is a backbone with outstanding talents, not ordinary sect members with ordinary talents.

in order to stimulate the potential of the teenagers, the Golden Mantis sect formulated a special rule.

After the one-year period expires, the ordinary talented people who have not been able to practice the "The Golden Mantis Refining Shape Technique" to the first level must fight one on one, which is not only to determine the superiority, but also to determine life and death.

Only the winner is eligible to become a member of the Golden Mantis sect. This is the "Praying Mantis Trial", referring to the phenomenon that young mantises fight each other for resources and nutrition, and the strongest survive.

Because life and death fight is to help to stimulate people's potential.

On Earth, if you don’t work hard in school, you can still do chores. But the "Praying Mantis Trials" are really about the trial to death, because if you don't win the trial, you will die!

As for the people who lost their lives and died, they were just consumables, and the Golden Mantis sect didn't care about them!

As for those with outstanding talents, they are all the treasures of the Golden Mantis sect, and they will be the focus of training in the future. The Gold Mantis sect is not willing to let them participate in the "Mantis Trial" and fight to the death.

Unfortunately, the original master Zack martial arts talent was extremely poor. After ten months of cultivating in The Golden Mantis Refining Shape Technique, he was still far away from reaching the first level.

Many ordinary talented teenagers in the manor hoped to face Zack in the Mantis Trial in the future because they had a better chance of survival.

"So, I only have two months left to live?"

After digesting the memory of the original owner, Zack felt bitter in his heart.

"wtf!"

Suddenly, Zack seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he said:

"The original owner has poor martial arts talent, so maybe I have different talent!

"Maybe I'm a martial arts genius!"

Thinking of this, Zack became excited and began to recall the cultivation technique of the 'Golden Mantis Refining Shape'.

The Golden Mantis Refining Shape Technique is a technique based on the monster "Golden Knife Mantis" as its prototype. It includes a set of training moves and breathing techniques. The combination of the two has the effect of strengthening the body.

Just doing what he said, Zack put on the posture recorded in the exercises, and, at the same time, closed his eyes, imagining that he was now a golden knife mantis.

He began to sway his body in a certain rhythm, breathing through his mouth and nose, occasionally punching, occasionally moving, and occasionally staying still.

Just looking at his appearance, Zack looked a little clumsy and jerky.

"wtfffff! I'm not a martial arts genius."

An hour later, Zack gave up, swearing.

Because during this period of time, no matter how he cultivated, he couldn't resonate with the Golden Mantis Refining Shape Technique, let alone deepen his understanding of the technique and cultivate to the entry level.

It is a huge progress whether the shape refining technique can be cultivated to the first level.

After cultivate to the first level, you will be able to become a cultivator and continue to strengthen your body. There are infinite possibilities in the future.

If you can't cultivate, then you are still an ordinary person.

According to the memory of the original owner, Zack knew that among this group of teenagers, the first genius who had cultivate the first level of The Golden Mantis Refining Shape Technique only took more than a month. This terrifying talent not only shocked the elders who managed the manor, but even the leader of the Golden Mantis sect directly accepted him as a disciple and focused on cultivating him.

On the other hand, Zack has cultivating for ten months, but he still hasn't found where the "threshold" of the first level is, let alone entered it.

 hum!

Just when Zack sighed, a red-gold ball suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness, shining with light.

Immediately afterwards, an unusually simple panel appeared in front of Zack.

Name: Zack

Boundary: none

Cultivation Technique : The Golden Mantis Refining Shape Technique (Compatibility: 3%. cultivating progress: 32% learned)

The current number of clone that can be condensed is : 1

"Panel? Golden finger?"

ZAck was shocked first, then his eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise.

Because the moment the panel appeared, information about this panel flooded into Zack's mind.

There are two main functions of this panel.

One is to make Zack's information visible.

Such as Zack's compatibility with the technique, and the progress of his cultivation.

The realm boundary is None, which means that Zack has not yet become a cultivator, but is just an ordinary person.

"Am I only 3% compatible with the The Golden Mantis Refining Shape Technique? No wonder I haven't reached the first level after cultivating for nearly a year."

Zack's mouth became even more bitter when he saw the list of exercises.

This fit is perfect!

The cultivating progress is "32%", which means that another 68 proficiency levels must be raised to cultivate the technique to the "first level".

At the beginning of his cultivating, the elder taught him some common sense knowledge of martial arts, so ZAck was not a blank slate.

Learning means to learn the technique for beginners. After you have fully learned and gained a certain understanding, you will be able to cultivate to the first level. But the problem is that it took the original owner ten months to improve his cultivating progress to "32%" and is still far from 100% to the entry level.

If you want to cultivate to the first level, don't you have to wait another two years?

In this way, Zack will certenly die in the mantis trial two months later!

And the second function of the panel is to allow Zack to breed a clone.

"Breeding a clone?"

Zack raised his eyebrows and became interested.

According to the information transmitted by the panel, Zack knew that as long as he obtained a trace of genetic material of the "target", such as hair, blood, skin, etc., he could use the panel to breed the corresponding avatar.

The breed clone not only has the consciousness of Zack, but can also take the clone back into the his body.

"A little bit of genetic material can conceive a clone? Is the effect so powerful?"

Zack was overjoyed and excited.

If he got a trace of the genetic material of the 'elder' and gave birth to an elder as a clone, he would be invincible in the manor, and he could run away if he couldn't win, at least his life would be safe.

But soon, Zack knew that it was impossibble. Because, according to the informationfrom the panel, if Zack wants to breeding a clone, the strength of the "target" must not be higher than Zack, otherwise Zack's body will not provide enough energy to breed successfully.

More importantly, the clone can only be the juvenile body of the "target", and it is impossible to have the same combat power as the "target" as soon as it appears.

"wtff,,,,Isn't this cheating?"

Zack cursed secretly, very disappointed.

Because in this way, even if he got the genetic material of the "elder", he could only give birth to a baby elder with no combat power at all.

The Mantis trial two months later was even more useless!

Right now, Zack just wants to pass the Mantis Trial safely and keep his life alive.

"So, what avatar do I need to condense so that I can pass the Mantis Trial in two months and maximize my benefits?"

Holding his chin, Zack fell into deep thought.

Zack was the first to rule out people because the growth cycle was too long.

And the time left for Zack is running out!

Zack wanted monster beasts, but he couldn't get the genetic material.

Moreover, the strength of the weakest monster is comparable to a cultivator, even if  Zack found it, he would not be able to colect the material from the monster. Because he trapped in the manor of the Golden Mantis sect, Zack actually doesn't have much choice!

Eliminating items one by one, Zack suddenly found that he didn't seem to have any options to break the situation.

"No, no! There is no impossible road, there must still be a chance!"

Although frustrated, Zack's head was still spinning wildly, thinking of ways to break the situation.

At this moment, the sound of insects flapping their wings suddenly sounded in Zack's ears.

Zack turned his head and saw a green figure flying in from the narrow window of the room.

Its body is about one finger long, with a small head in an inverted triangle shape. It has a pair of forefeet with sharp teeth and thorns, and it crawled towards the oil lamp unsteadily.

This little guy seemed to be attracted by the light.

"Mantis!"

Zack recognized the unexpected guest in front of him.

It is the praying mantis known as the "Tiger of the Zerg", the master of knife skills in the animal world, and a super hunter who can complete hunting with a knife within 0.01 seconds.

"Mantis? Golden mantis refining shape technique?"

A thunderbolt seemed to flash across ZAck's mind, and his body trembled suddenly.

The Golden Mantis Refining Shape Technique is a technique created based on the monster "Golden Knife Mantis". When practicing, one must imitate the movement, breathing and even charm of the Golden Knife Mantis, imagining oneself as the other party, so as to stimulate the effect of the technique. After reaching the first level, you can strengthen your body and become a warrior.

Zack's lack of comprehension is mainly reflected in his inability to substitute himself into Golden Knife Mantis, let alone breath and charm.

Therefore, no matter how resembling he learned the movements, it was empty, so he couldn't get started for a long time.

But what if the mantis is allowed to cultivate this technique?

Although the golden knife mantis is a monster, and the mantis is just an ordinary insect, but both are mantises, and there are many commonalities in their bodies, there is no doubt about it.

Even if it can't be exactly the same, but no matter how bad it is, it must be a little higher than Zack's pitifully low progress, right?

"Maybe, this is the way!"

Zack's eyes lit up, and he quickly leaned over and grabbed the mantis in his hand to prevent the little guy from being burned to death if he touched the lamp.

"Squeak~"

When the mantis was caught, he slashed at Zack with his knife arm, causing Zack to frown. His wings kept flapping, revealing the patterns on the wings, and making noises.

This is an adult praying mantis that has fledged!

Very fierce! ! !

Even in the face of Zack, who was countless times larger than him, he showed no fear at all, instead he was murderous, biting with his mouthparts when the knife arm was useless, and frantically resisted and struggled.

It's really a ferocious mantis!

Although he caught the praying mantis, Zack didn't breed a clone immediately, but calmed down and thought about it for nearly an hour.

"Brother Mantis, I'm sorry!"

After confirming that he couldn't think of a better choice, Zack finally started to use it.
