The system is the proficiency panel

In the cabin by the lake, Lin Ji was practicing with his eyes closed. The surrounding environment began to change unpredictably. Although he was in the cabin, the surrounding environment sometimes turned into icebergs, then into dangerous environments such as the Flaming Mountains and Storm Swamps. Then everything returned to its original state, a peaceful and harmonious scene.

The sky turned from light to dark, and the environment in the house returned to normal, and Lin Ji ended his practice.

'With the water force under control, the practice of Mirror Flower and Water Moon was indeed very smooth. The first step of creating an illusion was completed. However, the second step was much more difficult. According to the practice method given by Master Zi Tong, one must practice step by step according to vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, etc., until one controls a person's five senses or even more.'

Thinking of this, Lin Ji called up the system panel to check his current progress.

Lin Ji:

Cultivation: Foundation Building (Three Artistic Realms)

Skill: Water (Mirror Flower Water Moon: 10/100)

Potential: Water (control, purification)

Artistic conception: sword, wood, time and space

Looking at the panel in front of him, Lin Ji thought of the Trial Tower, which he had not visited since he came back. According to the order he gave before leaving, the jade pendant required to enter the Trial Tower should have been strictly sold in various cities, and the cultivators who bought it must register their identity and be verified. There should be quite a few cultivators in the Trial Tower now, so it's time to go and take a look, and have a fight with the clone by the way.

He took out a simple array plate from his savings ring and turned it on. With a thought, Lin Ji's consciousness instantly left his body and came to the spiritual space created by the fragments of Heavenly Dao. He appeared in front of the Trial Tower, and then used his authority to make the surrounding monks invisible to him.

Lin Ji walked into the Trial Tower and looked at the monks crowding around him. He couldn't help but smile. It was really lively here now. With their enthusiasm for the Trial Tower, the financial hole of the Xuantian Empire could be completely filled like this, and they could even make a lot of money.

Going up all the way, into the central hall on the seventh floor where there were fewer monks, Lin Ji chose the option to fight with the clone and disappeared here.

The scene changed, and Lin Ji chose the moon as the battlefield. Two figures appeared on the silent moon surface. Lin Ji looked at the clone that appeared in front of him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his body and heart were a little excited. After all, among the same level, only the clone could give him the excitement of hovering between life and death, so he was looking forward to fighting with the clone.

"start!"

The moment the words fell, the two men collided with each other with their air swords in hand. The aftermath smashed a conspicuous large hole on the moon's surface, and cracks spread outward from the hole.

The two men's attacks became faster and faster, sword lights flashed, and sword energy intertwined on the surface of the moon. There were also flying swords under their control dancing in the air. The entire surface of the moon was shrouded in sword shadows, and not a trace of light could be seen.

The two men fought for more than ten minutes. The moon on this side had been shattered, but they were still evenly matched and neither had the upper hand.

World*2

As if they were in sync, the two of them used time to stop at the same time. In an instant, everything stopped, and the disintegrating moon surface also stopped. Because of the existence of the time and space realm, although Lin Ji was not stopped, his speed was reduced several times, and now he just broke the level of the speed of sound. The clone faced the same situation.

The two continued to fight in this dead and static world, while a greater disaster occurred on the moon outside the time. The moon did not rotate like the Beast Realm, but now hundreds of thousands meters of the moon's surface were stopped by time. The stopped moon surface was extremely hard, causing the powerful kinetic energy during rotation to tear the moon into an abyss, but Lin Ji, who was fighting, was still unaware of it.

After a few seconds, the spiritual power of both of them had run out, and they could no longer afford the consumption of time standing still, so time began to flow again and returned to normal. Countless pieces of gravel and soil rolled down, and the surface of the moon had completely collapsed at this time, and countless gullies appeared on the ground.

The two began the second round of confrontation in the torn abyss. As their spiritual power was exhausted, they started a close-range hand-to-hand combat. Their fists collided, the surrounding land cracked, dust filled the air, the rock walls began to explode continuously, the dust covered the sky, and both of them disappeared in the dust.

After an unknown amount of time, two figures flew out and smashed the rock wall. The dust gradually dissipated, and Lin Ji emerged from it. At this time, he was covered with bruises, blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, and he looked embarrassed. His clothes were tattered, and the clone did not look good either, with dust and blood all over his body.

Lin Ji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his injuries recovered in a blink of an eye. Looking at the equally embarrassed clone in front of him, his eyes were full of excitement, a long-lost feeling. The 10 days in the World of Beasts without a clone were really boring.

"My spiritual power has slowly recovered to the third level. If we continue to fight like this, it will take at least a few days to determine the winner. It's too slow."

Before fighting with the clone, Lin Ji had thought that there would be a stalemate, but there was no good way out. The strongest attack method, space tearing, could not hit the clone that also possessed the realm of time and space. He could only continue like this until he surpassed the current clone.

After a day, the moon's crust had completely fallen apart, leaving only half of the lunar mantle wrapping a lunar core made of condensed metal.

The clone was knocked away and hit the moon core. The temperature of the moon core evaporated the blood flowing from his body. The clone, who was about to get up, noticed something and immediately turned his body, but it was too late. A dark crack appeared on his body, splitting it vertically in half, and then more cracks appeared, which would completely swallow the clone.

"ended."

Lin Ji was suspended above the moon's core, quietly watching the replica's body being torn into pieces and disappearing into the cracks. After a day of fighting, his control over time and space had greatly increased, and his spiritual power consumption had also decreased a lot. The replica had just died because it had no spiritual power at all and could not use space to move.

After the clone died, the environment began to change. Lin Ji returned to the Trial Tower. At this time, a mechanical voice sounded in his ears.

(Congratulations on defeating the clone. Based on the degree of damage in the battle, the fluctuation of spiritual power, etc., you will be ranked first in the three realms of foundation building)

Lin Ji felt no wavering at all about this. It was normal for him to be number one as he possessed the realm of time and space. Then Lin Ji opened the ranking list to check the rankings of Xiao Ningxue and Luo Youran.

"Ningxue, the first level of foundation building is ranked second, just below me, not bad. Youran, should be ranked 777 among ordinary foundation building..."

Luo Youran's ranking is not bad, which has exceeded Lin Ji's expectations. He originally thought that she would be outside the top thousand. It seems that after dealing with the affairs of the Xuantian Empire, she has indeed worked hard to practice. Unfortunately, her comprehension is still not as good as that of a genius. Thinking of this, Lin Ji left the Trial Tower.

When Lin Ji returned to the cabin, it was already dawn outside.
