Chapter 1205 - Astral Imitation Style

When Lynn heard about the current state of Jin's cultivation, she was surprised herself that he was able to hold that long with so many soldiers with various skills. "Yeah, I am surprised that a weapon had a heck of a lot of ways to hold them. But I can only vaguely remember a few of them."

"The System is curious with regards to this situation that User had placed himself in." The System said as it was the first time Jin had ever talked about his cultivation within his subconsciousness. For the past few runs, the System was unable to gauge Jin's power increase because it had always been kept as a secret. The Astral Panda Cultivator had been so swarmed with work that the System did not bother asking, so long that he was able to grade up, it satisfied the System's requirements.

"Lol, what do you want? Try a battle in real life? Do you have enough dummies to even do that? I do not fight with mere dozens, I fight against hundreds, thousands perhaps." Jin said with an uncaring tone until the System acknowledged that it would require time to set it up.

"But even without fighting against a thousand soldiers, the System would wish to see the User's skills in actions." The System said while opening a portal right beside the two. "Please enter. Upon completing a sequence of trials, the System shall provide minor compensation for sating our curiosities as well as the User's time."

"If you put it that way, I guess there's no harm trying it," Jin said as he shrugged his shoulders and drank his teacup empty before entering the portal. Lynn had decided to enter as well to see Jin in action and wondered if she could learn a thing or two.

"Fine, System. What are you going to throw against me?" Jin asked as he stretched his body a little by doing a few body twists.

"The System shall first throw a middle grade Rat Cultivator as a test."

"Any cultivation style in particular? The Royal Zodiac Rat clan series? Or something more exotic? I remember seeing a few in action but not exactly very common." Jin said as he instantly called out his Bam and Boo and changed them into a Katana with Bam and a dedicated customised sheath with Boo.

"I thought you have your very own sheath that came along with each sword, why make Boo into a sheath?" Lynn asked and Jin smiled.

"Wait and see." The moment he spoke, he placed Bam into Boo while lowering his stance that one believed it was extremely awkward to stand right up. His legs were right apart with one straightened and the other bent. When he achieved his stance, his right hand was mere centimetres away from the sheath and closed his eyes to concentrate.

"The System would not provide any further information and wished to see how the User deals with subsequent numbers. The Rat Cultivator Clone would further multiply and use various rat styles to face the User. All the System asks is that the User survives for a minute." The System stated that it was about to do something similar to what Jin had experienced but at a smaller scale. Yet, it ensured Jin that the quality of the cultivators would definitely be more than what Jin experienced.

According to Jin, most of the cultivator soldiers in his subconscious used only one skill but against the System's clone, the rat cultivator would be able to utilise the full repertoire of its style and would not hesitate to cut Jin down. "To further narrow the gap, the System had forced the User's grade to drop Grade 6 as a fair comparison." The System added the previous line at the very last minute but it still did not break Jin's concentration.

Lynn did not see Jin this serious before and decided to take a few steps back to see what Jin was able to do. And since there was no reply from the Astral Panda Cultivator, the System believed his silence was the consent for the Rat Cultivator Clone to move forth.

Without further ado, it was basically a clone of Wo De Tian, the Rat Triad Boss which Jin had defeated before. Based on the System's information on the Ruby Rat Cultivation as well as the manuals available to it, the System had created a near perfect replica of the Ruby Rat Cultivation and placed the info into the Rat Cultivator Clone. In terms of appearance, it was basically the same but this 'Wo De Tian' would be more deadly and unforgiving as compared to the one Jin had encountered.

This was because Jin was able to win due to his opponent's arrogance for underestimating Jin. Thus the System's clone was different since it was able to act logically based on the System's commands and even if Jin was able to win against this particular clone, two more clones would take their place with countermeasures against Jin's mode of attack.

Theoretically, to win the match, the Astral Panda Cultivator had to utilise all the skills he had learnt since the System would use numbers as well as an analytical review to defeat Jin. However, as soon as the clone Wo De Tian stepped forward, Jin's cultivation was portrayed right above him and Lynn was taken aback by it.

Not due to fear but rather to hold her breath so that she would not laugh at the Pandas. A large Panda at the centre was dressed in a costume full of feathers as the smaller four pandas were blowing right behind it to imitate the wind direction in which the Panda in this feathery costume was diving. Not only that, it had purposely worn a headdress with two yellow beady eyes and its feather ear tufts to imitate an owl's head.

Regardless, it did not cause the clone cultivator to back down since it was controlled by the System but the moment Wo De Tian stepped into Jin's range, a series of swift stabs crossed through his body, causing him to bleed right at the spot before it was even able to make a move. His heart, lungs and abdomen had been stabbed cleanly and the clone fell flat to the ground bleeding to his death.

"Astral Imitation Style: Observant Owl," Jin mumbled as he raised his stance a little to return the sword back into his sheath.
