Instead of Checking In Regularly: I Hide And Cultivate In The Monster-quelling Tower And Become Invi

Chapter 18: Just A Clone

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As they spoke, two Star Brilliance Eight-Star teachers appeared with the great demon.

“It’s coming, it’s coming.” Everyone could not help but become restless.

Zhou Xuan looked over and saw a monkey demon with golden fur.

“It’s the Golden Fur Monkey of the Monkey Demon Clan!” The surrounding students couldn’t help but widen their eyes when they saw the Golden Fur Monkey.

It looked like a human and walked upright.

The golden-haired monkey was one of the best among the monkey demons. It was talented and had good comprehension. Its speed of evolution far exceeded its peers.

Compared to it, the green-furred Tree Monkey could only be considered a younger brother.

The golden-haired monkey in front of him was not even as tall as an adult man. However, its realm was actually at the Star Brilliance Nine-Star realm, and its combat strength was rather powerful.

Lu Zhenxiong, a Nine-Star Star Brilliance Demon Hunter, joined forces with two other Eight-Star Star Brilliance Demon Hunters and fought fiercely for an entire afternoon before finally capturing it.

It took more time to capture it alive to investigate some things, but this could not hide the fact that it was powerful.

Of course, other than investigating the cause of the beast tide in Yang City, the academy also planned to conduct an in-depth study on the golden-haired monkey.

The golden-haired monkey had high talent, good comprehension, and a fast evolution path. To humans, this was very valuable for research.

To those researchers, this Star Brilliance Nine-Star golden-haired monkey was a treasure.

They would definitely cut it up and study it after all was done.

This was not the first time the Demon Subduing Academy had captured a great demon. They had even captured stronger demon kings.

However, it was definitely not a small matter to capture a great demon at the Star Brilliance Nine-Star realm. Therefore, it attracted the attention of many people.

Not to mention the students, even many instructors had come.

There were junior instructors, intermediate instructors, and even advanced instructors.

After all, tens of thousands of people in Yang City had died tragically in the beast tide three months ago. The impact of this matter was still a little big.

The Demon Subduing Academy and some other large factions attached great importance to it. They were pursuing the great demons who had escaped at that time to seek justice for their dead compatriots.

Lu Zhenxiong and the two advanced instructors had captured this golden-haired monkey. It had an extraordinary meaning.

Not only could they obtain the academy’s rewards, but they could also increase their status.

Therefore, some of the instructors were envious when they saw this.

“Instructor Lu, congratulations.” A senior instructor arrived and looked at Lu Zhenxiong with a smile. “You guys caught this golden-haired monkey. It has a huge impact. I’m afraid your position will have to be promoted soon.”

Above the level of Advanced Instructors were Special Instructors. Becoming a Special Instructor meant higher status and better treatment.

In the academy, the teachers also had their own little thoughts.

Although they were smiling and congratulating Lu Zhenxiong, no one knew what they were actually thinking.

Lu Zhenxiong was naturally happy, but he appeared calm.

“If I can’t reach the Transcendent realm, I won’t be promoted to become a Special Instructor. I’m still far from it.”

Above the Star Brilliance realm was the Transcendent realm. Only Transcendent cultivators were qualified to be promoted to Special Instructors.

Although Lu Zhenxiong said that, he was very confident that he could break through to the Transcendent realm within half a year.

At that time, with the credit of capturing the golden-haired monkey, he would definitely be promoted to become a Special Instructor.

There were several bloody wounds on the golden-haired monkey’s body, and there were bloodstains on its fur.

After it was captured, its power was sealed. Now that it was in the Demon Subduing Academy, it could not escape even if it had wings.

Two Star Brilliance Eight-Star teachers were holding it down and walking towards the Demon-Subduing Pagoda, wanting to lock it inside.

Suddenly, the golden-haired monkey stopped at the entrance of the Demon Subduing Pagoda and did not move forward.

One of the Advanced Instructors glanced at it and said coldly, “You won’t be able to escape here even if you have wings. Don’t think about having any crooked thoughts. Go in obediently.”

It had been very difficult for them to chase after this golden-haired monkey. They had experienced several battles and had even suffered many injuries.

Now that they had successfully caught it, it could be considered a success. They could take a good rest.

The golden-haired monkey looked at the towering Demon Subduing Pagoda and turned to look at the onlookers. In an instant, it revealed a mocking expression.

“Ignorant humans, do you think you can win by ganging up on me? Little do you know that this is only one of my clones. You want to lock me in the Subduing Pagoda? Dream on.”

“What?” At that moment, everyone was in an uproar.

Zhou Xuan, Song Fan, Chen Yueru, and the others were in disbelief.

“Is what it said true?” Song Fan said in disbelief.

“I’m afraid it’s true,” Zhou Xuan said softly. “The monkey demons have extremely high intelligence and are good at scheming. Moreover, this is a golden-haired monkey.”

“If that’s the case, then this golden-haired monkey is too terrifying.” Chen Yueru was extremely shocked. “Just one clone of it already has the cultivation of Star Brilliance Nine-Star. What realm is its main body at?”

The students were shocked. Even the instructors in the distance looked at each other.

Lu Zhenxiong’s heart skipped a beat, and his good mood instantly sank.

In a flash, he appeared in front of the golden-haired monkey and said in a low voice, “What did you say?”

The golden-haired monkey’s eyes flashed with mockery, and a treacherous smile appeared on his lips.

“This is just a clone of mine. All of you have been played by me and still don’t know it. How laughable.”

With that, it disappeared and turned into monkey hair.

“Oh my god, it’s actually monkey hair.” When the surrounding crowd saw this scene, they discussed animatedly. “So this is really just a clone.”

When Lu Zhenxiong and the two Star Brilliance Eight-Star Advanced Instructors saw this scene, their faces instantly darkened.

Damn it, they had actually been tricked by a monkey!

The three of them were Advanced Instructors and Star Brilliance experts. Where could they put their faces when they suddenly encountered such a thing?

This matter would definitely spread. How could they face anyone then?

“Damn monkey!” Lu Zhenxiong could not help but curse in his heart.

Originally, this was a great contribution.

However, as the golden-haired monkey turned into a strand of monkey fur, merit points no longer existed.

Even if he broke through to the Transcendent realm now, it was impossible for him to become a Special Instructor for the time being.

Suddenly, he was also shocked. As a Star Brilliance Nine-Star cultivator, he couldn’t see that the golden-haired monkey was just a clone, which meant that its original body was stronger. It was at least a Transcendent Demon King, or even stronger.

If its main body came personally, the lives of the three Advanced Instructors would probably be in danger. They would probably not be able to return.

At this moment, the Advanced Instructors who congratulated him just now walked over and comforted him. “What a pity. This is actually just a strand of hair. Instructors Lu, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Don’t be sad. Try to capture its main body next time.”

This seemed to be comforting, but in fact, it was not.

Naturally, Lu Zhenxiong could tell as well. He immediately replied, “Yes, we lost this time. However, it’s still better than some people who only know how to talk.”

Although they had only captured a strand of monkey fur, it was not like they had gained nothing. They had indeed found something.
