Chapter 123: The Domineering CEO Model Face

Ye Lin's expression changed abruptly, and his entire body froze in place. Could it be that he had been discovered?

He held his breath, not daring to move in the slightest.

Fortunately, after the shadow looked in Ye Lin's direction for a while, it muttered to itself and withdrew its gaze.

"Strange... why did I feel like someone was watching me?"

Only then did Ye Lin let out a long sigh of relief. It turned out the shadow hadn't discovered him; it had just subconsciously felt that something was off.

It seems the stealth effect of the Great Void Art is still quite good.

Now that he has a clone holding things down at the Ji family, Ye Lin can finally let go and focus on leveling up.

"Master, you really are ten big black bulls and one little cow living in a hotel—you're insanely awesome!"

On the way away, Ye Lin couldn't help but marvel at Zhuge Qianxing's infallible planning; he had actually been able to calculate even the kind of predicament Ye Lin would encounter now.

Relying on the stealth effect of the Great Void Art, Ye Lin first swiped a set of new clothes, then ducked into a deserted, secluded spot to change and put on a Face-Changing Mask.

In this way, he transformed and possessed a brand-new identity.

"From now on, the skills I use must also be standardized. Let's go with... Ice-type. There are more Ice-type skill scrolls. From now on, I am an Ice-type mage."

Ye Lin categorized all the Ice-type skill scrolls in his Great Sumeru Ring together.

With the existence of the Second Profession Talent: Ultimate Sublimation, Ye Lin could completely disguise himself as a job-changer of another profession.

How should I put it? It's reasonable for Ice-type skills to be a bit more powerful, right?

After finishing his preparations, Ye Lin activated the Great Void Art and arrived at the edge of the city wall, then used a Spatial Leap to reach the outside of the city.

Smelling the foul, fishy air outside the city, Ye Lin actually felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

From now on, it really is "the sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap"!

However, Ye Lin was in no rush to kill monsters. Instead, he used Spatial Leap repeatedly, and only after putting over a hundred kilometers of distance between himself and Qingcheng did he officially begin his leveling journey!

A rustling sound suddenly rang out from the bushes not far away.

Ye Lin followed the sound and looked over; a ferocious-looking monster gradually appeared.

It was on all fours, its fur as pitch-black as asphalt, a pair of scarlet eyes flashing with malice. Two rows of sharp fangs were exposed in its mouth, and drool dripped onto the ground, making a sizzling sound and emitting a strong, foul stench.

"What a cute little doggy, come here, here boy~"

Ye Lin was in a great mood at the moment; seeing the monster, he even had the time to flirt with it.

Sensing Ye Lin's provocation, the monster, which looked somewhat like a dog, let out a low growl, then its four limbs kicked off the ground violently as it lunged at Ye Lin.

"If you're going to be like that, I'm going to have to get the pot and add some green onions, ginger, and garlic."

Ye Lin curled his lips and flicked his finger, and a cold aura instantly permeated the area.

"Ice Blade Art."

The moment it was released, the Ice Blade Art was instantly sublimated into the Forbidden Spell: Frostmourne.

A massive sword blade composed of pure ice crystals condensed in the air; it was incomparably sharp and overflowing with cold air.

This sword blade seemed to be carved from the purest ice in heaven and earth; it was crystal clear and emitted a faint blue light.

The moment Ye Lin flicked his finger, the ice sword whistled out, carrying a biting chill, pointing straight at the ferocious monster.

The malice in the monster's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by terror and despair. Only then did it realize what kind of thing it had provoked!

The monster whimpered and tried to flee, but the moment it turned around, a chill that seemed to come from the Nine Netherworlds froze it completely.

The ice sword slashed down without obstruction, splitting the monster's body in two. The ice crystals shattered, turning into a patch of frost overflowing with cold air, while the monster's corpse became two ice sculptures.

Ye Lin took the opportunity to activate Endless Devour.

【Devoured Level 32 Common Monster *1, obtained water, fat, protein, carbohydrates, and minerals.】

【Increased lifespan by 125 years, experience points by 320, increased Strength attribute by 5, Agility attribute by 1, and Spirit attribute by 1.】

Although he was missing the three pieces of equipment—the Imperial Dragon Wish-Fulfilling Ring and the Yin-Yang Twin Bracelets—Ye Lin's combat power at this moment was definitely not something a common monster below level 50 could compare to.

On this day, the monsters a hundred kilometers outside Qingcheng once again recalled the fear of being slaughtered by humans.

【Devoured Level 36 Common Monster *1, obtained water, fat, protein, carbohydrates, and minerals.】

【Increased lifespan by 360 years, experience points by 360, increased Strength attribute by 7, Agility attribute by 2, and Spirit attribute by 1.】

【Devoured Level 37 Common Monster *1, obtained water, fat, protein, carbohydrates, and minerals.】

【Increased lifespan by 245 years, experience points by 370, increased Strength attribute by 5, Agility attribute by 1, and Spirit attribute by 3.】

Under the effect of Endless Devour, not only was Ye Lin's experience points constantly rising, but his three-dimensional attributes were also continuously increasing.

Furthermore, all the energy his body required was being constantly replenished, which meant he felt absolutely no fatigue, slaughtering the surrounding monsters like a perpetual motion machine.

Ye Lin couldn't help but feel a bit emotional; it was no wonder that every time an Origin Ancient Artifact appeared, it could trigger a series of terrible wars. The existence of such a thing was simply too heaven-defying.

"This seems a bit slow..."

Ye Lin muttered to himself. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and Ye Lin's level had already risen to level 29.

Leveling up once every three days—this speed was already shocking in a situation where he was completely soloing without a team of high-level job-changers, but Ye Lin was still not quite satisfied.

"In that case..."

"Forbidden Spell—One Breath Becomes Three Pure Ones!"

Ye Lin released the Forbidden Spell directly. After sacrificing three-quarters of his remaining lifespan, he successfully summoned two clones.

One Breath Becomes Three Pure Ones can create at most three clones. Since one has to stay at the Ji family to deceive people, Ye Lin can currently only summon two clones.

However, when he saw the faces of the clones, the corner of Ye Lin's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Because the faces of these two clones looked exactly like his own; after all, clones don't have a Face-Changing Mask to wear.

If he walked around with this face, it would likely cause trouble if he ran into anyone. The national top scholar Ye Lin's face had quite high recognition.

Thinking of this, Ye Lin condensed an ice blade and then started carving and modifying the faces of the two clones.

In an instant, blood flowed freely, and soon both clones were completely disfigured, their faces becoming terrifying.

Both clones' faces were covered in various scars as if carved by knives or chopped by axes: knife-carved brows and eyes, a knife-carved nose bridge, knife-carved lips, a knife-carved jawline, and a knife-carved face.

"Hmm, that's about right."

Ye Lin nodded in satisfaction. If these two clones were put into a CEO novel, they would definitely be the standard "domineering CEO" model faces!
