Physical Strength Test

Reward: Duplicating Mask]

[Duplicating Mask: When equipped on the host all clones will receive a similar mask on their face. It will efficiently cover their cultivation when in

a non-combat state]

''uh is that ok?''

Not only will it save a ton of credits, it would also allow Marks clones cultivation to remain secret. This was one of Marks largest worries, after all every cultivator will have a different aura however Mark and his clones all have the same.

This would inevitably lead to a huge amount of problems when Mark wanted to use all the clones at the same time. As for the issue of it being seen when in combat, well Mark just hoped that anyone who saw it wouldn't make it out alive.

''Next tester, Mark Ashfield'' Mark was interrupted by a rough voice and he turned his head to see a bulky man with muscles any body builder would be jealous of.

''Here!'' Mark copied the rest of the testers and walked up to the physical training section. Everyone in the class would have to first test their physical foundation before they could check their spiritual energy. After all your physical foundation is important for how much spiritual energy you can

hold and use.

''Just hit the machine with all your strength, it can be with you fist or you can kick it.'' The bulky instructor said.

''That simple?'' Mark questioned as he walked up to the machine. He originally thought that it would be a super complex test however it looked like a regular strength test, if not more sturdy.

Mark just decided to punch it as he smashed against the pad.

The pad retreated back and a number started growing on the screen. It grew before finally ending on 100. Ten times the number the system shows.

''Not bad, a good physical body.'' The instructed nodded in appreciation before he asked. ''Have you cultivated any spiritual energy?''

After thinking about it Mark decided to shake his head. After all he planned on hiding his strength for now. People with strong foundations are incredibly common among the refugees. They wouldn't have been able to survive if they weren't strong enough or lucky enough.

''That's a shame, ah well move onto that group over there.'' he motioned towards the other students who had just finished testing themselves.

As expected his results didn't get any attention from the class they were just a above average rather than amazing.

''What?! 10 Strands of spiritual energy?'' At this moment the teacher in charge of the orb exclaimed in surprise.

Standing in front of the orb was one of Marks classmates. However he had an extremely ugly looking face. His body was gangly and he was over 190cm tall.

But what was most noticeably was the look of pride he had on his face. While other students were getting 1 or 2 strands of spiritual energy, he had already cultivated 10. This is the same as a majority of the teachers in the school.

After all not every teacher is like Teacher Leila who is a warrior. Speaking of, even Teacher Leila was nodding her head in appreciation when she heard the announcement.

''What? Mike has cultivated that much spiritual energy?''

''Doesn't this mean that he has a chance to become a warrior?''

The students started murmuring between each other when they heard this. Even some of the weaker female students started looking at Mike in awe. After all without proper strength they might be used as playthings of the powerful.

As for getting together with a warrior? They knew that with their looks and background they had a very slim chance of that happening. However if they could get with Mike before he became a warrior they could easily have a safe future.

At this point Mike was looking at the female students who were wishing to run up to him and raised his nose proudly. Before he was excluded due to his weak figure however only he knew that he had managed to cultivate a large amount of energy due to luckily finding a dead warrior with spiritual cores on him.

This had directly allowed him to reach his current strength. He even had access to a few Rank 2 crystals!

Mark watched this uncaringly. After all it was only 10 spiritual energy and Mike was at least twenty. This talent wasn't worth mentioning in front of a proper strongman.

Mark didn't pay anymore attention as he continued thinking about his future plans.

The clone who was left to look after the girl was completely confused right now.

The girl had buried her face in her hands and was crying her eyes out as the clone waved his arms around trying to appease her.

''Ok stop crying. Please??'' The clone begged the girl. It had no experience in dealing with this sort of situation.

''Hic... where am I?'' The girl finally realised that she was in an unfamiliar environment. She looked warily at the clone trying to move but forgetting about her still injured back.

''Ouch''

''Alright don't move, my names Mark and I saw you injured in front of the library and took you to here.''

When the girl heard this she finally calmed down enough to think it through.
