Lin Luo took the 100000 spirit stones and left the Zhang family, satisfied.

Zhang Chugui left behind a few elders and guest elders of the Zhang family and dismissed the rest.

“Fifth elder, do you have any idea about Lin Luo’s identity?”

Zhang Chugui’s expression was much colder and more steady than before.

“Zhang Hao recommended her.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this name.

Lin Luo used to wash dishes in Zhang Hao’s shop. He had just broken through to the beginner apprentice warrior level a few days ago.

Zhang Renhu’s words almost made everyone’s jaw drop.

“Zhang Renhu, you’re joking, right?” Zhang Sheng looked at Zhang Renhu with doubt.

“That’s right. This Lin Luo is clearly a middle-ranked warrior. How is it possible for him to go from a beginner apprentice to a middle-ranked warrior in just a few days?”

“There will be a bottleneck between martial apprentice and martial warrior. It’s impossible that it only took a few days!

None of the elders believed Zhang Renhu’s words.

They only knew that he had promised Lin Luo that he would give the position of guest master to Lin Luo after he broke through to Martial Master within half a year. They didn’t know anything else.

Zhang Renhu wasn’t surprised by their reaction at all. He crossed his arms and wasn’t afraid of their doubts.

“If you don’t believe me, why don’t you go to the Martial Arts Association and ask?”

After a martial artist broke through, they would definitely go to the Association to get the subsidy.

Lin Luo had broken through one after another. There must have been news and rumors in the Association.

“Fifth elder has no need to lie to us about this.” Zhang Chugui stopped the elders and guest Masters from questioning.

This kind of thing, once asked, would be clear. There was no need to lie.

However, it was precisely because it was unlikely to be a lie that they found it even more unbelievable.

Breaking through in a few days, this kind of thing was simply unheard of, not to mention Lin Luo, who had just been tested for his aptitude. It was the worst, and even to the chagrin of the testing stone!

This didn’t make sense at all!

‘No matter what, the identity of the person introduced by Zhang Hao should not be a problem,’ Zhang Chugui thought about it in his heart.

“The results of the testing stone are one thing. The reality in front of us is that Lin Luo has broken through one after another.”

“His talent is definitely not low. We have to protect this seedling well.”

The more talented and powerful Lin Luo was, the better it would be for the Zhang family.

As for the result of the testing stone, it was no longer important.

Zhang Sheng understood why Zhang Chugui wanted them to stay. “We have to be wary of the Su family.”

“That’s right. With Lin Luo’s speed of breakthrough, he’ll be famous in the city sooner or later. He’s also a guest elder of the Zhang family now. The Su family has been watching our Zhang family. It won’t be long before they get the news.

“I’m afraid that the Su family will not keep a genius like Lin Luo in the Zhang family.”

For the first time, Zhang Renhu agreed with Zhang Shengcheng.

The Su and Zhang family were sworn enemies and were evenly matched.

If Lin Luo grew up, he would definitely break the situation where the two families were evenly matched. The Su family couldn’t just sit by and do nothing.

Zhang Chugui nodded. “Keep an eye on him. Don’t let the Su family find a chance to do anything to Lin Luo.”

He had given away quite a few spirit stones.

If the Su family were to kill Lin Luo, he wouldn’t be able to get back any of the cost he had spent to win over people!

Lin Luo didn’t know what had happened in the Zhang family.

As soon as he got home, he couldn’t wait to upgrade the one-button cultivation and activate the one-button clone function.

[One-key cultivation upgrade successful. Current spiritual energy increase rate is 800 spiritual energy points/hour]

[The one-key cloning function has been successfully activated. You can use the one-key cloning function to summon a clone to solve your lack of manpower.]

Lin Luo licked his lips and couldn’t wait to try out the newly activated function.

“Summon clone.”

A white light lit up in the room, and after a few breaths, the light went out.

In front of Lin Luo, there was a person who looked exactly like him.

“System, introduce me to the one-button cloning function.”

After swallowing the spirit stone, the system was in a good mood, and its tone was much better.

[The clone summoned by the one-key clone function is the same as your cultivation level. Its strength in relation to yours is 1:1, has high intelligence and high vitality, and can move according to your will.]

The more Lin Luo listened, the happier he became. He sized up the clone in front of him and touched his chin.

“Will they be able to tell that it’s not the real person?”

He couldn’t tell, but it was hard to say for those with higher cultivation.

[Impossible!]

The system seemed to have been triggered by Lin Luo’s suspicions, and its voice was much louder.

[Please do not evaluate the system based on your own judgment. Please do not underestimate the system!]

[Only those who are three stages higher than the host can see that it’s not the real body. No one can see through it within three stages!]

“Alright, alright, alright!” Lin Luo’s head was hurting from the noise. He nodded repeatedly and barely managed to calm the system down.

While Lin Luo responded to the system, he asked his clone to find a way to walk around in front of Zhang Renhu.

Zhang Renhu was in the second major realm, and he was a Grandmaster-level powerhouse, which was within the range of three major realms.

“You can go and chat with Zhang Renhu.”

After the clone agreed, he climbed out of the window to avoid being discovered by Lin Meng’er.

The system was so angry that it fell silent.

Lin Luo could even feel something heating up in his brain.

“Better to be safe than sorry.”

Lin Luo was afraid that the system would burn its processor in anger, so he could only coax it nicely.

The system ignored him.

“Big brother!” Lin Meng’er knocked on the door and skipped into Lin Luo’s room.

“Mr. Zhang asked us to go over to his place to celebrate brother becoming a guest elder of the Zhang family.”

Lin Luo agreed. I’ll come over now!

The clone met Zhang Renhu on the street.

“Lin Luo?”

“Uncle Hu.” The clone smiled and looked no different from Lin Luo’s usual self. Zhang Renhu did not notice it.

“What are you doing here?”

“I’m out for a stroll.”

Lin Luo, who had gone to Zhang Hao’s house with Lin Meng’er, knew what had happened to his clone.

After making sure that Zhang Renhu did not realize that it was a clone, Lin Luo let the clone retreat.

“I was just about to… Eh? Lin Luo!” Before Zhang Renhu could finish his words, his clone followed his orders and slipped away.

“Why are you running so fast?” Zhang Renhu muttered.

…

“Congratulations, brat!”

Lin Luo was greeted with a bear hug from Zhang Hao.

The other party was smiling so much that his eyes were wrinkled. you’re not bad, kid! I’ve heard from Zhang Renhu!”

Lin Luo grinned. that’s true. “Don’t you know who I am?”

Lin Luo and Lin Meng’er accompanied Mr. Zhang to serve all the dishes on the table with smug smiles on their faces.

“Lin Luo? How are you so fast?”

Zhang Renhu’s surprised voice could be heard.

“He’s been here for a while.” Mr. Zhang turned to look at Lin Luo and then at Zhang Renhu.

Lin Luo laughed drily. He didn’t expect such a coincidence.

He quickly changed the topic. “Let’s eat before the food gets cold.”

Zhang Renhu was still in shock after he sat down at the dinner table.

Lin Luo was only a mid-level martial artist while he was a Grandmaster. In the end, Lin Luo arrived even earlier than him.

Could Lin Luo have cultivated some powerful high-level footwork-type martial arts techniques?
