My Special Ability is Perfect Replication - Chapter 89
Chapter 89: Uninvited Guest, The Celestial Magical Cat
Roar!
A monster over 30-meter-long, with vicious eyes and spiky body, much like an alligator, was growling at Ling Jiu. Lying silently not far from this beast was the body of a python.
This was a Class-6 Direbeast, the Spiky Monitor Lizard.
Right now, this Spiky Monitor Lizard was really pissed. While it was about to enjoy the fruit of its labor after killing a giant python with hard effort, Ling Jiu came out of nowhere to ruin the feast.
It vowed it would teach Ling Jiu an unforgettable lesson, let him know that Sir. Spiky was not someone he could afford to mess with.
Roar!
The Spiky Monitor Lizard flicked its ten-meter-long tail to attack Ling Jiu.
Like its body, its tail was full of tough and sharp spikes, which, other than the teeth, were his strongest and most lethal weapon.
This tail could cut a heavy tank in half, let alone a person.
However, just as the Spiky Monitor Lizard struck its tail like a bolt of lightning at its target, Ling Jiu had already disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, he reappeared above the Spiky Monitor Lizard’s head and struck down with an Eightfold Rolling Thunder.
Ling Jiu’s fist carrying a powerful energy punched through the Spiky Monitor Lizard’s skull until his entire arm entered inside the head.
The Direbeast froze. Its body twitched violently for a moment before it became motionless, dead.
“Five consecutive kills of Class-Six Direbeasts have proved that the combo of Teleportation and Tungsten Form is a killer move when it comes to Class-Six Direbeasts. I need to build on this momentum to hunt eighty Class-Six Direbeast today!”
A Class-6 Direbeast was worth 10,000 points; 80 of these Direbeasts would earn him 800,000 points.
If he could kill 80 of these Direbeasts a day, he would have 240 kills in three days.
That would mean 2.4 million points for him.
By the looks of things, getting the top spot on the leaderboard should not be a problem.
“But killing eighty Class-Six Direbeasts a day was a tall order.”
Ling Jiu mumbled to himself. He kept the Spiky Monitor Lizard’s body and moved on to find another Class-6 Direbeast.
He went from one Direbeast to the next.
Every one of them had died at Ling Jiu’s iron fist. By going it alone, Ling Jiu had liberated his combat strength to the fullest extent.
Getting near to a Direbeast by teleportation;
Immobilizing it with the Gravity Arcana;
Killing it with the Tungsten Form.
Ling Jiu did not even need to use his Earth Manipulation arcana, much less the Shadowform.
This was not without reasons. In the race to harvest the Direbeasts, the Earth Manipulation arcana seemed to be a little inefficient—it was not fast and brutal enough.
“I need to get the personal details of the other trainees so I can select my next target to duplicate arcana. The cooling-off period is about to expire!”
In Ling Jiu’s original plan, his next target was Chang Jiandong’s Hundredfold Gene Arcana. But it was impossible now, considering they were too far apart from each other.
He had no choice but to target the other trainees in the training camp.
…
It was nightfall. As darkness engulfed the Australian continent, the howls and growls of beasts rose in tandem. Many Direbeasts that slept during the day had come out to forage at night.
After an exhaustive day of hunting, Ling Jiu found a suitable place, released his maglev airship, and set it in stealth mode as he rested for the day inside it.
He lay in a bathtub then let out a comfort sigh as he had his muscles relaxed in warm water.
“What a day! I have killed seventy-two Class-Six Direbeasts, still falling short of the 80-Direbeast target. But, hey, it is not bad. At least it is more than last week’s three days combined.”
Ling Jiu was satisfied. He believed he could make it to Top Three this time.
He could not hold back his excitement at the thinking of the advanced vitality-enhancement fluid, advanced Gene Arcana-enhancement fluid, and the right to use the Level-1 chambers in the Twelve Underground Chambers.
Meow!
While Ling Jiu’s mind was drifting away, the cry of a cat came to ear.
He was sure the airship had top-notch sound insulation. So where did this cat crying come from?
Ling Jiu looked up. Not far away from the bathtub, a black cat of about a-meter-long was squatting on the table.
It was purplish black; its eyes were like rubies; its coat was fluffy. It was definitely a cute-looking cat, which was a to-die-for pet for many young girls.
But Ling Jiu felt a chill run up his spine as he saw the big black cat. It might look adorable, but those who recognized it would have their hair standing on end.
“It is the Celestial Magical Cat, a Class-Eight Direbeast that is ranked seventy-second on the list of Direbeasts!”
Ling Jiu swallowed hard. His heart almost stopped pumping.
The Celestial Magical Cat was a horrible Class-8 Direbeast that had a unique ability—it could go through walls. And it was not limited to just brick walls. No obstacles like land, rock, metal, and tree could stop it. Celestial Magical Cat could pass through these obstacles as if they were not there. This was the creepiest Class-8 direbeast.
Of course, some people thought that the ability of the Celestial Magical Cats belonged to dematerialization or dimensional arcana. That was the reason it could pass through obstacles.
In short, the Celestial Magical Cats were mysterious and powerful Direbeasts. People had little knowledge of them. It was only aware that they were Direbeasts that people should not mess with.
“Damn it! How did this horrible thing appear in my airship?”
Ling Jiu cursed quietly. He was ready to perform a Teleportation to flee once there was the slightest movement that showed this Celestial Magical was going to attack.
But it surprised him when the cat walked to a pack of nutritional dried meat, picked it up with its mouth, and started eating. It had no intention of attacking him.
“This thing is after the food?”
Ling Jiu was dumbfounded.
The nutritional dried meat, issued by the training camp, was made from Direbeast meat with some other ingredients and nutrition.
It was not only nutritious but also rich in Gene Arcana. It was the main food source for every trainee entering the wilderness.
Before he came, he had spent over 10,000 dollars buying over 20 packs of this nutritional dried meat, which was very expensive.
Right now, this Celestial Magical Cat was eating a piece of this nutritional dried meat with gusto.
The cat’s teeth were sharp, and the hard and supple dried meat looked like a crispy carrot in its mouth. It finished a piece of dried meat in the blink of an eye.
It then picked up another one and dug in. The cat did not take long to finish all the dried meat.
The Celestial Magical Cat tried to look for more but could not find it. Its ruby-like eyes then gazed at Ling Jiu with eagerness and anticipation.
“It is my freaking food, you know. You have freaking finished them all and left me with nothing!” Ling Jiu cursed quietly.
Meow!
The Celestial Magical Cat cried.
Ling Jiu froze before taking the hint and took out another pack of nutritional dried meat, tore open the wrapping, and handed it to the cat.
“Wildlife is human’s best friend. It is everyone’s duty to protect wildlife!” Ling Jiu acted tough, giving himself a pep talk. “That’s it! I am protecting wildlife. I will not shirk my responsibility to protecting the ecosystem and the Earth!”
