Perfect: Many children, many blessings! Join the chat group!

Naruto looked at the message Xiao Yan sent and subconsciously scratched his short, golden hair.

He did not press Tang San further.

Because he didn't have a very good impression of Tang San to begin with.

He remembered that guy always acted superior when he was in the group chat.

His way of speaking makes people uncomfortable.

It's as if the whole world owes him something.

Since everyone is saying that Tang San is gone, then it probably really is.

Anyway, he wasn't familiar with Tang San, so his death is no big deal.

With that thought in mind, Naruto quickly put the question out of his mind.

He gathered his thoughts and prepared to continue sharing his achievements in the Naruto world with his fellow group members.

But just then, Zhu Chen suddenly sent a message to everyone in the group:
[Zhu Chen: @Everyone, seeing Naruto return suddenly reminded me of something very important. Regarding the Shadow Clone Technique, many of us probably only see it as a combat skill or a means to confuse the enemy, or simply use it as an external clone. But in reality, this clone technique has an extremely powerful auxiliary effect.]

Zhu Chen's information immediately attracted everyone's attention.

[Xiao Yan: No way? A clone has auxiliary functions? Could it help me refine pills?]

[Lin Dong: I think Big Brother might be suggesting that this clone could be used as a suicide bomber. Didn't he just do that?]

[Han Li: This clone can transmit intelligence after it disappears. I've always used this technique for reconnaissance. Could this be the auxiliary effect you mentioned, brother?]

People in the group chat started speculating.

But no one guessed correctly.

Naruto Uzumaki had thought of it, but he didn't say it out loud.

Just then, Zhu Chen sent another message:
[Zhu Chen: You're all wrong. The auxiliary effect I was referring to was a training cheat.]

[Xiao Yan: What? A cultivation cheat?]

[Han Li: What is a cheat code?]

[Wang Lin: I have cultivated Taoism for hundreds of years and have never heard of such a thing!]

Luo Feng: I've never heard of it either.

[Zhu Chen: There are many clone-type skills in the myriad realms. Wang Lin's divine clone and Luo Feng's original core clone inherited from the Golden Horned Beast can both be called clone-type skills. Compared to these clones, the shadow clone, which disappears at the slightest touch, can be considered quite useless. However, it has a special effect that other clone skills cannot match: it can accumulate cultivation experience and then feed it back to the original body when it disappears!]

The chat group fell silent for a few seconds after the message was sent.

[Xiao Yan: Holy crap! Experience feedback? Bro, you're not kidding, are you?]

[Lin Dong: Big brother, you mean... if I create ten shadow clones to practice martial arts simultaneously, one day of their practice is equivalent to ten days of my main body's practice? Am I misunderstanding?]

[Luo Feng: If this is true, then the efficiency improvement is terrifying!]

[Qian Renxue: If we have enough clones, wouldn't one year of our cultivation be equivalent to several decades for others?] [Wang Lin: If that's true, the value of this technique is immeasurable.]

[Xiao Yan: @Zhu Chen, Big Brother! My dear Big Brother! Why didn't you tell me something so important sooner! If I had known sooner, and created more shadow clones to cultivate together, I'd probably have broken through to Dou Di by now, trampling the Soul Palace underfoot and beating up the Soul Clan!]

Xiao Yan complained half-jokingly, as if he had missed out on a fortune.

Seeing this, Zhu Chen could only smile.

[Zhu Chen: This was indeed my oversight. I was busy with various things and forgot to remind everyone. But it's not too late now. You can make good use of shadow clones to accelerate your cultivation in the future.]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Huh? You guys didn't know this before? I've been using it like this ever since I finished reading the Naruto novel that Brother Zhu Chen gave me! Although I'm exhausted like a dead dog after using too many Shadow Clones, and my head feels like it's going to explode, the effect is really amazing! I mastered so many skills in a short time thanks to this technique!]

Naruto's words undoubtedly confirmed Zhu Chen's statement from the user's perspective.

This made others even more eager to learn the method of creating shadow clones.

[Wang Lin: I see. When I was experimenting with the Shadow Clone Technique, I did indeed vaguely sense some fragmented insights that didn't belong to my main body. However, the feedback was weak at the time, and I was too exhausted to investigate further. Now it seems I wasted my time.]

[Han Li: Second Brother is absolutely right. I feel the same way. The key to this technique is that the clone must undergo 'effective training' in order to generate enough experience and insights for feedback. If it is merely maintained to exist, it will only result in consumption and exhaustion.]

[Lin Dong: Haha, who cares about being tired? As long as I get stronger, that's all that matters! From now on, I'll have dozens of shadow clones cultivate the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger together. Even if they collapse from exhaustion, it'll be worth it!]

[Xiao Yan: Dozens? Lin Dong, you have quite the appetite. But... I like it. I also want to try having my shadow clones help me refine the different flames and comprehend the Great Dao of Fire!]

[Zhu Chen: It's good that you two have this enthusiasm, but I must remind you again that the shadow clone technique is a double-edged sword. It not only provides experience and insights, but also reflects the mental fatigue generated during cultivation. You must use this method to cultivate within your limits and proceed gradually. If you create too many shadow clones at once, exceeding the limits of your main body, then it will be a case of more harm than good.]

The shadow clones from the Naruto world undergo some changes when they travel to other worlds.

While Naruto Uzumaki can train simultaneously with hundreds or even thousands of shadow clones, this does not mean that people from other worlds can do the same.

Just in case, Zhu Chen reminded Xiao Yan and the others to proceed step by step and not to rush things.

[Han Li: My elder brother is reminding me that on the path of cultivation, haste makes waste. While this technique can accelerate your progress, a solid foundation and mental refinement are equally important. You must not be greedy, or you will only suffer the consequences.]

[Wang Lin: That's right. Strength must match one's state of mind to be on the right path.]

[Luo Feng: This is similar to cultivating our genetic energy; our physical strength needs to keep up, otherwise we'll burst. I will carefully control the number of clones I have.]

[Qian Renxue: Thank you for the reminder, brother. We will pay attention. This is indeed a powerful support ability and we need to make good use of it.]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Yes, yes, when I first started training using this method, I did it one at a time, but after getting used to it, you can gradually increase the number of times you do it.]

[Xiao Yan: So, how many shadow clones can you use to cultivate at once now?]

[Naruto Uzumaki: More than a thousand... If I'm in better shape, I could reach two thousand...]

[Xiao Yan:? ? ? 】

[Han Li: ???]

【Everyone: ???】
