The four clones had stayed out of sight until the end of the day. Two had uniforms and the others had jammers on. I could see the writing on the wall and said "I'm not a human. If you want to fuck me, you can. But you cannot look me in the eyes after and say you aren't gay." He just turned me so my bare chest was against the wall. It dug into my flesh. Benson pulled down his pants and grabbed my hip. I looked over my shoulder at him and said "I have a hivemind for my ooze. Every clone has every memory they experience in them. Even if you kill me after, the other clones will know and remind you." "Shut the fuck up. Don't fucking dish it out if you can't take it!" he snapped at me as he stroked himself. When he got hard, I transferred consciousness to one of the 3 gallon oozes in the drain. It had gotten all the way through the sewer and made it to the waste water treatment plant. I oozed out of the way and got out. I found some pipes and traveled until I was outside the plant. I tried to get into a human form, but I became a child instead. I just sighed as I looked down at myself.
I was the same height and weight I was when I was 9 years old. That was better than nothing. The other 3 gallon clone had went a different path and found its way to the beach. I had the child walk around and stay out of sight for now. It should try to look for some clothes to wear. The one at the beach could turn into a spider. There was no reason to be a naked kid on the beach. Someone might find me and there was no way to find clothes along the sand. As I was going along I decided on a course of action. Just as absorbing gained exp., so too did meditation. Since I had six human clones and one spider, there was a lot of meditation that could be done. I set the four teen clones to meditate. Blessed humans had limtless stores of energy in their bodies. However the strong ones were able to control and channel it. Children did their best to crystalize the energy into cores. The region in the body where a person’s Qi is concentrated was called a dantian. There are technically three dantians: lower middle and upper. The lower dantian is in the area a few fingers widths below your navel.
My middle would be around my solar plexus. The upper dantian is in the forehead between the eyebrows. One started from the lower and worked their way up. The way of cultivation had a lot of stages to it. There was the precelestial stage or Xiantian, Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and the final Immortal Ascension. The blessed already started in the Core Formation Stage. With their infinite innate energy, or Qi, generation, they did not need to meditate or use alchemy to add to what they had. A common human could spend years to catch up, but they would only be on the level as a blessed infant. I had drained the Metal elemental energy and the Life energy from Benson. That could get me started, but I only four of the teen clones actually had that energy. The clone wearing the speedo, the child and the spider did not have any of the energy as they did not make contact with Benson's body. That meant that it would be almost useless to try with those bodies. The three that were waiting around were made to cultivate together.
With the clone wearing the speedo, it could go make contact with Cody. Cody usually spent an hour after school in study hall with his twin. That meant that I could still be in time to find and interact with them. It was better than doing nothing. I was a few blocks away from the school and I walked back. When I got to the school store, I took a composition notebook with a blue and black stripped cover and a pen. As I walked around the store, I stored it in my body. I then waited ten seconds before shrugging and leaving the store. The cashier tried to stop me, but there was no way he could find me out. He let me go and I left the store. While walking, I took out the book and pen as I entered the study hall. I had the uniform on and I also had a book and pen. No one could tell me apart from any other human student. Just then, I got a popup just like the first time I replicated. This time it was about a reproduction. I was sterile as a human male. The sperm had been absorbed back into his body to compensate for all the draining and I filled his testicles. There was nothing to replicate for myself.
