I was kidnapped by a dragon after transmigrating into a book, and the dragon clan adopted me as thei

As two pillar-like beams of light descended, the world turned white, and thousands more illusory clones suddenly appeared on the arena.

The clones that were originally under Shen Mi's control stopped their attacks and turned to look at Shen Mi along with the thousands of newly appeared clones.

"...?"

Shen Mi was greatly alarmed and looked at the situation before him with a solemn expression.

He saw a dense crowd of Shen Shu'an staring straight at him, interspersed with some of Shen Wanqiu and Xuan Yi's faces.

Shen Mi: "?"

Shen Shu'an: "???"

Instantly, the entire audience of tens of thousands of people held their breath, staring in disbelief at Shen Mi and 03 on the arena.

Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, 03 finally couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahahahahaha, hahahahahahaha!"

She laughed loudly, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and held her staff high like a scepter, her pure white robe like a coronation.

"Shen Mi?" She looked at Shen Mi opposite her with interest. Shen Mi was so low-key and unnoticed during the team competition that she didn't attract anyone's attention.

Her gaze swept over Shen Mi's face again and again, but she remembered nothing.

But it's okay!

"Buzz".

Beneath her robes, her mechanical magic eyes recognized her as Shen Mi, the most mysterious contestant in the Yuanhe Realm, someone no one could remember.

"Shen Mi, finally, finally you've made your move. It's an honor for you to fight against me, 03."

03 smiled, extended his arm, and with a casual flick of his right index finger, long red armor flashed like a blood-red shadow. Thousands of clones attacked Shen Mi simultaneously—

"With this one battle, you will become my defeated foe, and your name will resound throughout both realms!"

"Stepping on the Moon!"

"full moon!"

"Ni Ming,"

"Fellow travelers, bidding farewell to friends!"

Seeing thousands of clones rushing towards him, Shen Mi formed hand seals and shouted sharply. Instantly, the thousands of clones he had summoned vanished.

However, thousands of clones still stood in place. These clones were controlled by 03 through the cloning technique and were not affected by Shen Mi.

03 raised an eyebrow slightly: "Not bad, not bad, but now, what are you going to do?"

Shen Mi's face was heavy with resentment. He hated those who stole other people's immortal techniques for their own use.

And this 03 didn't even have a learning process, nor did he need to comprehend it himself; he directly transformed all the knowledge he had acquired over the years into his own!

Shen Mi gritted his teeth, and the next moment, he decisively raised his hand and said, "I admit defeat!"

There was nothing he could do; even though his clone was weaker, he was no match for the thousands of Junior Sister Shen.

Is this something that humans can resist?

Shen Mi shook his head, his gaze falling on the supreme seat in the direction of Yunxi Peak. "Junior Sister Shen, you should deal with this disgusting person yourself!"

As Shen Mi conceded defeat, Yue Shang's voice rang out—"The wizarding world, number 03 wins."

Shen Mi turned and leaped off the arena. His figure showed no sign of dejection. He simply cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Shen Shu'an from afar before flying away on his sword.

Number 03 stood on the platform, tapped her staff, and thousands of afterimages disappeared. She smiled, looked up, and vanished from the spot.

The strong are never those who talk much.

Unless she can't help it.

"……well."

Several sighs arose.

Shen Shu'an shook his head regretfully: "So close! Senior Brother Shen Mi was just a little short, but the methods of the mysterious faction in the wizarding world are too disgusting!"

Of course, even if Shen Mi wins, does number 03 lose to Shen Mi or to Shen Shu'an?

Xuan Yi pondered, glancing at the girl's profile without making a sound.

Shen Wanqiu, standing to the side, also had a complicated expression. She looked thoughtfully at Shen Shu'an, and then thoughtfully at the magic hammer in her hand.

If she were to face Shen Mi's thousands of sister clones, could she win?

But if she were to face that 03, she was confident she could defeat him.

Shen Wanqiu closed her eyes, and in that brief moment, she had already gained some insights. After the competition today, she would go to the Scripture Pavilion.

Meanwhile, in the Supreme Hall of the Holy Bright Sect, all the patriarchs were staring intently at Shu Wuwei.

Mingyan stared at Shu Wuwei in shock, heartbroken: "Old Shu, you possess such magic, why won't you pass it on to my An'er?"

Yun Shuling nodded silently beside him, giving Shu Wuwei a reproachful look.

Shu Wuwei: "?"

Shu Wuwei was greatly shocked: "This is my sect's technique, not our sect's technique. Are you going to pass it on to An'er?"

"This is what I personally passed down, it's just that my disciple's cultivation is a little more advanced."

Speaking of this, Shu Wuwei was also ashamed, as this was the first time he had witnessed Shen Mi's true strength.

In the past, when I asked my apprentice, he would always say, "You've learned it alright," or "It's just so-so." Who knew that "also" would turn out to be like this?

Shu Wuwei shook his head and sighed, "Even I can only summon a hundred clones at most, I never imagined that kid would have such strength!"

In the vast main hall, everyone remained silent, watching as Shu Wuwei alone reveled in his own world.

After a few seconds of waiting, Shu Wuwei finished his reflection and belatedly hugged himself, saying, "Wait, why are you all staring at me like that?"

"As I've already said, this is what my sect has taught me!"

The patriarchs remained silent.

Wanfa was the first to light up with his magic light, followed closely by Mingyan. Yun Shuling hesitated for a long time, but still blushed slightly and gripped the hilt of her sword tightly.

All the patriarchs: "!"

Shu Wuwei: "??"

Xu Jing was also present today. She coughed twice and said, "Ahem, quiet!"

She glanced around, signaling everyone to calm down, then looked at Shu Wuwei and said thoughtfully, "Old Shu, the sect has introduced a new regulation: individuals with outstanding collections who are added to the Scripture Pavilion will receive a further increase in their sect salary!"

"And your disciple, you usually guard the Sutra Repository, but you are not the master of a peak. Shen Mi is still only an inner disciple."

"In this way, you will hand over your cultivation technique to the sect, and the sect will take care of you and your disciple for the rest of your lives!"

"From now on, you will be the head of the Scripture Pavilion, with a status equal to that of the peak masters. Your disciple will become your personal disciple. What do you say?"

Shu Wuwei: "?"

Shu Wuwei narrowed his eyes and began to think carefully.

Wow, equivalent to the position of Peak Master?

Back then, he fought tooth and nail for the position of Elder of the Sutra Repository, defeating layer upon layer of opponents before finally securing this retirement post.

Now that I'm old and frail, can I still be on par with the peak masters?

Shu Wuwei was shocked. He looked around at everyone and saw that not a single person had any objection.

Shu Wuwei: "!!!"

Shu Wuwei looked at everyone in disbelief, then at his disciple Shen Mi's figure in the divine mirror, and finally, he found the girl's figure in the mirror again.

Shen Shuan was intently watching Qiao Pingsheng's battle against 09, her eyes burning with intensity.

"……good!"

Shu Wuwei looked at the illusory mirror with great enthusiasm, clasped his hands in a salute, and said, "Sect Leader, you flatter me. As long as my disciple receives the treatment of a personal disciple, the sect will provide for his cultivation needs from now on. I am old enough to ask for nothing more!"

As he spoke, he reached into the storage ring within the storage ring in his pocket and took out his "Book of Non-Action: Borrowing a Friend's Doppelganger Technique," handing it to the sect leader, Xu Jing.

"Sect Leader, I am willing to have my cultivation technique deposited in the sect's library!"

"Heh, if the sect needs me, who else but me?"
