Chapter 43: When in Doubt, Quantum Mechanics
“Stab!”
“Stab!”
“Stab!”
To speed up his advancement, Mu Lin kept stabbing himself with a knife.
Since the Injury Transfer progress depended on how badly he got hurt, Mu Lin didn’t hold back.
Soon, seven or eight wounds covered his body, blood streaming down his skin.
Mu Lin quickly tried linking to the Substitute Paper Figure to transfer the injuries.
But before he could act, a shocked cry sounded beside him.
“Ah!”
A green light full of life energy wrapped around Mu Lin’s body.
To his surprise, the fresh wounds started closing up right before his eyes.
Before he could blink, all injuries vanished completely.
This meant Mu Lin’s self-stabbing and pain had been completely wasted.
“…”
“Who…?”
Thinking this was sabotage from hostile Formal Class members, Mu Lin turned with fury.
But his anger died instantly.
The culprit wasn’t Qi Xiu or other haters – it was the new transfer student Chu Lingluo.
What stopped Mu Lin’s rage was Chu Lingluo’s innocent, worried eyes.
“Senior Brother… are you hurt? Does it still pain you?”
More rejuvenation spells flew from her hands before she finished speaking.
The healing magic didn’t just fix his new wounds – even old scars disappeared.
“…”
Staring at his flawless skin, Mu Lin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing him fully healed, Chu Lingluo sighed in relief. “Senior Brother, please be more careful next time. Pain hurts.”
This made Mu Lin speechless for a long moment. Finally, he said: “What if… my technique requires self-harm?”
“Huh?”
Chu Lingluo froze.
After realizing her mistake, she clasped her hands apologetically. “I’m so sorry! I didn’t know!”
“It’s fine. No harm done. And… thanks for healing me anyway…”
Because the Substitute Paper Figure hadn’t reached a profound level, Mu Lin couldn’t fully transfer his injuries whenever he stabbed himself.
Though he could heal using hibernation, this process took time. His relentless training also left wounds that never fully healed, causing constant dull pain.
The earlier rejuvenation spell had truly helped him, so his gratitude was genuine.
But before he could finish thanking her, voices interrupted.
"Miss Lingluo, don’t apologize to him."
"He’s from the Yin Eight Sect—their methods are cruel and sinister. Someone of your status shouldn’t associate with him."
"Eh? This senior brother seems kind…"
"Miss Chu, don’t be deceived. Practicing through self-harm? Who knows what wicked technique he’s studying…"
Cultivators trying to flatter Chu Lingluo kept her away from Mu Lin, spreading lies about him.
Mu Lin… ignored them.
He knew he and Chu Lingluo lived in separate worlds. She’d healed him not out of affection, but because she treated everyone gently.
Focusing on immortality and strength, Mu Lin refused to waste energy on petty rivalries.
"Women slow my sword… Well, Yan Yunyu and Teacher Dongfang Ya don’t count. One’s my patron, the other my backer."
…
As others led Chu Lingluo away, Mu Lin resumed training.
*Stab! Stab! Stab!*
He plunged the paper cutter into himself repeatedly.
The Substitute Paper Figure on his dantian altar trembled as injuries transferred through their bond.
*Hmm…*
Magical light glowed as Mu Lin’s wounds faded, while new scars appeared on the paper figure.
Each injury deepened their connection, boosting his understanding. The proficiency panel flashed *+1* notifications rapidly.
After a dozen stabs, eight *+1* alerts chimed—his Substitute Paper Figure had reached perfection.
*Hmm!*
For others, perfection meant stagnation. But Mu Lin’s full mastery sparked revelation. One more cycle would trigger his breakthrough.
*Stab! Crack!*
This strike seemed to shatter his meridians. Insights erupted like lava—
*Cloning… With enough magic, I can make a second Substitute…*
*Injury Transfer aligns with past-life science… Quantum Theory? Entanglement?*
*Twins sense each other’s deaths—is that the paper figure’s secret?*
*Quantum links let substitutes train and share knowledge… Possible!*
…
Like readers interpreting novels differently, cultivators shaped techniques through their experiences. Early-stage imitation gave uniform results, but Level 3 Mastery required personal insights. Others’ Substitute Paper Figures might evolve unpredictably, but Mu Lin’s past-life knowledge granted his desired trait—
*Clone cultivation achieved!*
