132 Perfect Clone (2/2)

”Disciple greets Supreme Elder,” the three of them greeted her respectfully.

The supreme elder was a bit surprised. She wasn't surprised by how quickly they completed the 2nd test, she was surprised to see Xiao Fang and Li Jiang still dry.

'Could they have seen through my illusion?' She thought.

She was a bit worried that she had made the test too difficult to pass, but it seemed there were disciples able to see right through it.

After a moment of thought, she quickly got over it then greeted them.

”Congratulations for making it this far. This will be your final test.”

The supreme elder released the illusory qi from her body to create a clone of herself.

”To pass this test you must make 2 perfect clones of yourself. Anything less than perfect will be a fail.”

Li Xiang was the first to make her clones, followed by Xiao Hei then Xiao Fang.

The elder watched as the 3 of them easily made perfect clones of themselves.

She walked around each of them, inspecting them closely.

”Hmm. Good, very good.”

Even though she said she wanted them to be perfect, she didn't really mean it. The level they were able to display with this simple technique far surpassed what she expected out of the outer court disciples. Although there were a few rookie mistakes, they were still much better than some of the inner court disciples in the sect. However, when she inspected Xiao Fang's clone she suddenly froze.

She stared at the two clones standing side by side with Xiao Fang. His clone was so well crafted that even she was unable to discern which was real and from the fakes. She just went with her gut and picked one.

”Mn, not bad. I could hardly tell the difference,” she said.

”Hm? Elder, I'm not the clone. This is,” Xiao Fang corrected her.

”Ah, of course.”

She looked at his clones thinking that he played a prank on her. There was no way a disciple at his level should've been able to make a clone this flawless.

This wasn't something an [ Illusory Body ] Foundation Realm cultivator was capable of doing. This level of accuracy was usually only possible from elders with years of experience.

Truth was, not even Xiao Fang realized how perfect his clones were, but since dual cultivating with Yu An and some of the elders in the black paradise sect, he was able to quickly learn and perfect the technique much faster than any of his peers.

”Do we pass?” Li Xiang suddenly asked.

”Huh. Oh right, you all pass.”

Following those words, Li Xiang clasped her hands and bowed her head, she could hardly contain her joy.

Using her finger and some spirit qi, the supreme elder created 3 small identical images in the air, one for each of them. The images made with spirit qi suddenly imprinted itself into their upper right arms.

The qi seemed to have marked their skins like a tattoo, but after a few seconds it glowed one last time before hiding under their skins.

They received a less complicated version of the same insignia after passing the entrance exam so they knew what it was for. Anytime they needed to verify their identification as a disciple of the sect they would only need to channel their qi into their right arms to make the insignia glow and show that they were inner court disciples.

The supreme elder then took them over to a peculiar looking cauldron. Cylindrical in shape, it stood 6 meters tall with a radius of 2 meters across.

The elder briefly explained it's function then asked,

”Who would like to go first?”
