My Special Ability is Perfect Replication - Chapter 206
Chapter 206: Finding Energy Crystals, Two Bai Ya-s.
“Bloody hell! Give an inch, take a foot eh!”
Ling Jiu snorted coldly as his body suddenly inflated like a balloon and instantly turning into a 50-meter-tall giant.
The next moment, Ling Jiu bent forward and shot a punch out.
CRACK!!
The raging iron fist and the Mosasaur monster’s head collided with one another, and like a nuclear explosion, following a thunderous bang, an unparalleled shock wave burst out.
The impact that slammed against the inner cave wall instantly fragmenting it.
Looking at Ling Jiu and the Mosasaur monster again.
Ling Jiu staggered dozens of steps back before he could regain his balance. His right arm trembled slightly, and his fist felt numb and uncomfortable.
Looking at the Mosasaur monster, it only fell a few meters back and its head was completely intact without the slightest trace of injury.
“Bloody hell, that’s a hard head.”
Ling Jiu’s eyes lit up as he became more and more excited. Hadn’t he always wanted to find a thing that was equal in combat strength to duke it out?”
This thing in front of him… was the very existence he was looking for!”
“Again!”
Ling Jiu charged at it again.
RAAAAWWRRRR—
A great battle soon commenced.
*BOOM—*
*BOOM—*
*BOOM—*
Man and beast exchanged blows in a head-to-head melee. For a moment, the deep cave was completely torn into pieces and finally collapsed.
Both sides charged out of the ruins and fought fiercely in the valley.
Rocks fell as mountain walls collapsed.
Massive wave rolled as the floor cracked.
The other monsters living in the valley were out of luck as the powerful ones fled in panic while the weaker ones were straight up minced.
Looking at the fierce battle between the two, in terms of strength, Ling Jiu was clearly weaker than the Mosarus monster, and he was sent flying with every violent clash.
But with his incomparable life force and terrifying resilience, Ling Jiu came back with full health time after time and unleashing his most powerful strikes time and time again.
In contrast, although the Mosasaur monster was much more powerful, its endurance was worse than Ling Jiu’s.
Half an hour later, Ling Jiu was still active and vigorous while the Mosasaur monster’s strength was gradually weakening as its speed slowed and its attack were no longer that pointed.
Moreover, Ling Jiu also discovered that after this fierce clash, his body had actually improved significantly.
He understood why after pondering a little. For a long time, his body actually had excess vitality, and was like excess nutrition.
After absorbing so much life energy, his cells were fully saturated, and could only absorb a little while the remaining ones were stored in his body.
Just like how Ling’er used the Life Source Ginseng to heal her legs, she only used up a small amount of the life force while the rest were stored in her body.
And now, in the violent hand-to-hand melee between Ling Jiu and the Mosasaur monster, the depletion of his cells accelerated, and so the rate of consumption of his life force increased.
After absorbing the life force, his cells became stronger.
With stronger cells meant stronger body.
It was a virtuous circle.
Therefore, Ling Jiu was slow gaining the upper hand after being ill-matched in the beginning. The Mosasaur monster’s stamina aside, this was also the reason why Ling Jiu fought harder and harder.
“Again!”
Two hours later, the Mosasaur monster lay inert on the ground. Its strength was exhausted, and it no longer wanted to move a finger.
Ling Jiu understood that while this monster was powerful, its stamina was too poor. Not all monsters were all-round freaks like the Flame Astral Behemoth.
“You’ve pleased me.” Ling Jiu looked down at the Mosasaur monster. “So, I’ll make this a quick one for you!”
As soon as he said that a black hole emerged as the exhausted Mosasaur monster did not struggle much before it was swallowed by the black hole and sent into the Inner World.
BAAAMMM!!
Raging fire burned as the Mosasaur monster quickly burned into ashes, turning into surging life energy inside Ling Jiu’s body.
“AH—!!”
Just like soaking inside a hotspring, it was just so comfortable that Ling Jiu could not help but to moan. This feeling was just too wonderful, as the sensation was even better that ‘that’.
After the life energy were swallowed up, his body improved significantly again as Ling Jiu could not help but sigh. “Sure enough, the effect will be even better if I absorb the life energy once I’ve exhausted my strength.”
After that Ling Jiu prepared to leave, but unexpectedly, at this moment, his eyes caught something.
Ling Jiu frowned and saw that among the shattered rubbles, was either a piece of glass or a mirror that reflected a dazzling white light.
“Why is there glass here?”
Ling Jiu looked puzzled and as he flipped open the rubble, he saw a stone as big as a grapefruit. The stone was milky white, like a solidified milk which he could sense a massive Gene Arcana from within.
“They’re actually energy crystals!”
Ling Jiu was surprised.
He was certainly not unfamiliar with energy crystals. Back then on Pandora, he had obtained more than a hundred energy crystals.
Later on, he sold part of them, and divided some to his parents and Ling’er, and he still had about fifty of them with him.
“Why are there energy crystals here?”
Ling Jiu was surprised. “Could it be that… there’s an energy crystal mine here?”
As he thought of that, Ling Jiu quickly searched and sure enough, he found more energy crystals beneath the rubble. In the end, after Ling Jiu scoured through their floating valley, he had more than 200 energy crystals in his hands.
More than 200 pieces!
That’s a lot!
“To find so many energy crystals inside a floating mountain!”
“There seems to be way lot more energy crystals in Europa!”
…
For the next three days, Ling Jiu began to wander in the deep sea, moving across floating mountains as he hunted monsters he saw, and looked for energy crystals.
Battle after battle.
Monsters were killed one after another.
His body was being improved every moment.
Of course, some of the floating mountains had energy crystals, while some did not, but overall, Ling Jiu’s haul of energy crystals were quite significant.
Three days later, Ling Jiu finally left Europa and returned to Io.
To Ling Jiu’s surprise, an extremely spacious canal had appeared before the cave, spanning several kilometers wide and nearly a hundred meters deep, extending all the way from the front of the cave to Wormhole 51.
It was incredibly long!
To dig out such a canal in just a few days, the work efficiency was astounding.
Ling Jiu was amazed as he entered Wormhole 51 and then back to Mars.
At this moment, he clearly felt heat, and Ling Jiu tried to take off the Venom Suit on his hand, exposing it. As the warm sunlight shone upon his hand, it felt warm.
“Did the temperature in Mars rise so much in the past few days that I have been away?”
Ling Jiu was surprised. “The current temperature must be about ten degrees above zero. The heating speed is really fast.”
Immediately after, Ling Jiu returned to the woods.
Bai Ya was still busy planting trees.
“Honey, I’m back!”
Ling Jiu smiled as he shouted.
Bai Ya dropped the shovel as she rushed over with a cheer and leapt onto Ling Jiu as her legs wrapped around his waist like an octopus.
“So passionate!”
Ling Jiu laughed.
“Why, don’t you like it?”
Bai Ya sniggered.
“I like it! Of course, I’d like it!”
“If you dare to dislike it, I’ll beat you up!”
Bai Ya snorted as she gave him a kiss.
“Hahaha…!”
Five hours later, the two lay on the bed exhausted. At this moment, Bai Ya suddenly teased.
“Honey, I got two good news to tell you, which you want to hear first?”
“Anyone will do!”
“Hmph! Such half-heartedness!”
“…”
“I’ll stop teasing you!”
Bai Ya giggled. “The first good news is that I’ve broken through Level 8!”
“Level 8? That fast?”
Ling Jiu was surprised.
“After taking two Ultimate Gene Arcana Strengthening Elixir, I’ve broken through Level 8 as expected.” Bai Ya said happily.
“Congratulations, wifey for breaking through Level 8!”
Ling Jiu smiled and said. “You have to cover for me more in the future!”
“Don’t worry!”
Bai Ya waved her hand with aplomb. “The second good news is, I’ve awakened a new Arcana!”
“This was somewhat expected.”
Ling Jiu smiled and said. “Tell me, what sort of Arcana you’ve awakened?”
“I couldn’t figure it out at first, but after studying for two days I’ve finally got it!”
Bai Ya gave out a weird smile and then Ling Jiu saw another strange figure appearing beside her.
This person was exactly the same as Bai Ya, both of them lying on the bed. She was a complete copy of Bai Ya, or rather, a clone of Bai Ya.
“Is this the… Shadow Clone Arcana?”
Ling Jiu’s eyes widened.
“No, not a clone!”
The two Bai Ya spoke at the same time. “It’s a duplicate. I think my new Arcana is to create a duplicate of me!”
“Moreover, the duplicate has the same combat power as me, and even has her own thoughts, she can train on her own, it’s like a completely another me!”
“But the weakness of this Arcana is that every time a duplicate is created, half of my Gene Arcana will be split away.”
“A duplicate?”
“The same combat powers?”
Ling Jiu gasped, and then squeezed Bai Ya’s duplicate, only to find that it was also a proper body of flesh and blood and was even more shocked.
“This Arcana is quite overpowered! Right, how many duplicates can you make?” Ling Jiu asked.
“At most three.”
Bai Ya looked a little disappointed. “The number is still quite small.”
“That’s a lot!”
Ling Jiu was amazed. “Three duplicates, plus yourself, when the four of you work together, with your Annihilation Thunder, there are few that could rival you in the same realm!”
“The duplicates are fine, but they consume just too much Gene Arcana.”
Bai Ya was a little unsatisfied. “However, it’s fortunate that the duplicates can train themselves, and make up for this shortcoming a little.”
“That’s a great Arcana!”
Ling Jiu exclaimed. “Right, you should be able to dismiss the duplicate at any time, right?”
“That’s for sure.”
Bai Ya nodded. “As long as I want to, I can dismiss the duplicates at any time. And then, all of the Gene Arcana that was split will return to my body.”
“That’s great!”
Ling Jiu smiled and nodded before continuing. “Guess what I’ve found during my trip to Europa this time around?”
“What was it?”
Bai Ya was puzzled.
“Let me show you, you’ll definitely be shocked.”
Ling Jiu smiled and took out his phone as he opened a set of photos for Bai Ya.
“A glowing mountain?”
Bai Ya said in surprise: “It’s so beautiful!”
“Beautiful, right?”
Ling Jiu smiled and continued. “Scroll down some more!”
“Yeah!”
“Beautiful!”
“This tree…and this grass… it’s really beautiful!”
After seeing through the set of photos, Bai Ya was so shocked that she could not close her mouth and quickly looked at Ling Jiu. “My dear, where is this?”
“You guess?”
“It’s sea water all around, is it Europa?”
“My wifey is pretty smart eh!”
