That morning, Wang Zhifan woke up on the sofa bed in the manager's room on the third floor of the commercial building.

He tossed aside the quilt covering him, got up, and looked out the window, discovering that the sunrise had already taken place. The number of zombies active during the night seemed to have decreased somewhat, though it was still more than the first day.

"I wonder if I'll be able to stay safe here today; perhaps a leader monster or two might appear."

Wang Zhifan speculated in his mind that, given the usual style of the dungeon, it probably wouldn't let him continue to enjoy this leisure indefinitely. However, he did not feel very fearful; rather, he thought occasional challenges might be a good experience.

"I don't feel hungry at all, so I might as well continue cultivation… But let's skip the dream training today; my body is starting to ache from lying down so much."

Wang Zhifan's main focus currently lies on the Great Dream Saber Scripture. The dream training aspect mainly aims to develop multiple dream selves, and beyond dream training, there's an important and challenging subject—practicing how to control each dream self, achieving a high level of proficiency in cooperation between the dream self and oneself.

Given his current power hasn't elevated further and he hasn't mastered the subsequent various abilities, treating the Great Dream Saber Scripture as a doppelgänger-style saber technique is the most suitable path for quickly enhancing his combat strength.

"First, let's use the dream self to practice a few battles."

With a mere thought, the dream self he had stationed at the door to the room overnight suddenly transitioned from a static state to swift movement, instantly passing through the door in front of it, arriving at the corridor outside, standing in front of the building's third-floor zombies.

However, contrary to Wang Zhifan's expectation, these zombies did not launch any attacks upon seeing his dream self, as if standing before them was Wang Zhifan himself, wearing the Chapter of Obscurity, rather than a mere spirit doppelgänger.

"These zombies aren't attacking the dream self; is it because it inherited the effect of the Chapter of Obscurity from me, or because it's not a flesh-and-blood entity, making them disinterested?"

At this moment, Wang Zhifan had this doubt in mind, as he was also unclear whether zombies would attack a spirit body in the absence of the Chapter of Obscurity.

"A simple experiment will reveal the answer."

Without much hesitation, Wang Zhifan lifted his hand and removed the Chapter of Obscurity pendant from his neck.

Then, as soon as he completed the action of unequipping, he sensed through his link with his dream self in the corridor outside that the zombies before it started to become agitated!

Some zombies abruptly turned their heads collectively toward the tightly shut manager room door, which was where Wang Zhifan currently was, and began swarming toward it, while another group of zombies directly fixed their gaze on the dream self itself and commenced an assault!

"Looks like the dream self indeed inherited the effect of the Chapter of Obscurity from me."

Upon observing this, Wang Zhifan immediately concluded the experiment and promptly placed the Chapter of Obscurity pendant back around his neck, to prevent any uncontrollable outcomes from this test.

Sure enough, as Wang Zhifan inside the room resumed wearing the Chapter of Obscurity, the zombies outside the manager room quickly returned to tranquility. Those zombies about to reach his door suddenly seemed to lose their target and halted their steps, while those Zombies that had just started attacking his dream self ceased their attacking actions, turning away from the non-physical enemy.

Wang Zhifan hadn't instructed his dream self to retaliate against the zombies' attacks as he knew their ordinary attacks wouldn't affect the dream self. The dream self, honed in his dream realm, does not possess a physical body, thus naturally being immune to physical attacks.

But it's crucial to clarify that the non-physical characteristic of the dream self cultivated through the Great Dream Saber Scripture is inherently present only at lower stages. If Wang Zhifan's cultivation progresses further, he can use saber intent to imbue the dream self with physical strength, meaning he can freely decide whether the dream self has a physical presence.

This ability exists mainly to enhance the authenticity of the dream self, preventing opponents from easily distinguishing between the dream self and the original by physical presence or absence, thus being toyed with by either.

However, with the zombies halting their attack on Wang Zhifan's dream self, he was not inclined to let things end there. He proceeded to manipulate his dream self to actively slay the zombies in the corridor outside.

With the dream self, identical in appearance to Wang Zhifan but appearing slightly ethereal overall, suddenly drawing its saber, the two zombies standing close to it were instantly decapitated!

After slicing through two zombies, the dream self spared no time, flickering in movement to execute another zombie nearly seven to eight meters away at the corner!

This unchecked offensive behavior immediately enraged the surrounding zombies, triggering them to converge upon the dream self, despite it inheriting the Chapter of Obscurity's effect from Wang Zhifan's original.

But unfortunately, the dream self naturally possesses physical immunity, being unfazed by physical attacks, only restrained by mental attacks, soul attacks, and some magic, resulting in the collective attack from the zombies merely being futile as their claws or teeth passed through its ethereal body, unable to inflict any harm.

Conversely, the saber illusion in the dream self's hand, under the enhancement of the Great Dream Saber Scripture's power, was capable of inflicting certain physical damage, along with some mental damage!

This dual-attribute damage is a basic feature of the Great Dream Saber Scripture. The cultivator of the Great Dream Saber Scripture, along with their dream self, can cause inevitable physical damage inherent to saber techniques and additionally inflict a certain mental attribute damage.

This mental attribute damage can be simply interpreted as a weakened version of soul damage or spirit damage. As the cultivator progressively elevates the Great Dream Saber Scripture to advanced levels, both types of damage will continue to increase, ultimately transforming the attached mental damage into genuine soul damage, rendering the Great Dream Saber Scripture adept at dealing with both physical and spirit bodies.

Thus, merely a minute later, Wang Zhifan, situated inside the manager's room with the door shut tight, manipulated his dream self to massacre the zombies closest outside the door, leaving only those in the distant rooms, who had not been enraged, in a state of survival.

However, Wang Zhifan didn't intend to continue the dream self's slaughter at this moment, not because he suddenly felt soft-hearted or tired of this practice, but because the residual power of the Great Dream Saber Scripture within the dispatched dream self's body was about to be exhausted. Continuing to slaughter with it would reduce attack prowess more and more, eventually possibly causing complete disintegration, only restoring peak state by reclaiming it into the original's dream realm for cultivation infusion.
