170: You can replicate everything, but can you replicate my cheat?
At the same time,
the same thing happened to everyone in the top 10. Figures like Demon War suddenly found that the reflections beneath the glacier only showed their own faces.
“!!!”
“Is it time, or what?”
Apparently, if calculated by progress,
the number of battles and victories won by Demon War and the others combined couldn't compare to Han Lie's.
But now, everyone seemed to have been forcibly pulled to the same progress.
It made people wonder,
this should be the ultimate challenge of the Town Boundary Tower Second Layer.
“But it’s a bit strange!”
“Is it only for the top 10?!”
“Then those ranked lower, wouldn't they get nothing? That's too much of a loss!”
“Come on, do you think this is a good thing? Can Han Lie, Demon War, and the others really deal with these copied bodies?”
“If they can't deal with them, it would be fine if it were like before. I'm just afraid these copied bodies will take over!”
Everyone was worried.
On the surface, Han Lie seemed better, because his combat process was quite relaxed, and he didn't seem to have much loss.
However, Demon War and the others were not optimistic; they all had more or less injuries, and fatigue and pain were accumulating. None of them were in peak condition.
“They’re out! They’re out!!”
Amidst everyone's nervous anticipation, 10 copied bodies stepped out of the glacier almost simultaneously and appeared before the top 10.
Strangely, their expressions were not as dull as before.
It was as if enough data had been collected, and they had been completely replicated from inside to out, from mind to body, from past to present.
Oh no!
Everyone was greatly alarmed.
The scenario they had just imagined, where the copied body defeats and replaces the original, seemed to be truly happening.
Everyone couldn't help but feel fear,
they worried about their own prodigies, and even more about the abnormal Han Lie.
It wasn't a positive concern; they simply didn't want the abnormal Han Lie to become even more abnormal.
Regarding the original and the copied body,
they still felt that the original Han Lie was more familiar.
.............
At the same time, Han Lie's friends and relatives,
as well as all the Blue Star viewers, had their hearts in their throats, as no one wanted to face a copied Han Lie.
They just wanted to say:
“Hopefully, this isn’t happening!!”
“It’s best to win, or at worst, losing would just mean falling one layer of glacier. But please, please, please, absolutely do not let a situation like the true and false Monkey King appear!!”
................
“?”
Han Lie sized up himself in front of him, and before he could speak, he heard the other party say,
“What are you looking at?”
“Oh, really?”
Han Lie was quite surprised; this copied nine-tenths of his arrogant attitude. There was no time to think, because the other party also seemed to be impatient, directly expanding his body, raising his Blood Qi Immortal Tree, and unfolding his Blade Domain!!
“See, so impatient!”
Han Lie similarly unleashed his power, and in the blink of an eye, both of their perspectives had reached a hundred zhang in height.
“It really is the same!”
Han Lie examined closely and found that the other party's physical divine ability was displayed at the same height as his own. The branches and leaves on the Blood Qi Immortal Tree seemed to be replicated one-to-one.
The unfolding of the Blade Domain was also exactly like his own; it was simply another him.
“You can imitate everything about me!”
“But...”
Han Lie's eyes lit up slightly,
with a hint of madness and confidence.
“I don't believe it!!”
“Can you really perfectly replicate me? And even if you are me, so what?!”
“Even if you're the King of Heaven,”
“I'll still fight without hesitation!!”
With an unyielding belief, Han Lie directly lunged forward. Facing an identical version of himself, he felt no tension or fear. He believed he would definitely win.
...............
At the same time,
Demon War also began his battle. Ever since his crushing defeat by Han Lie, his invincible belief had collapsed.
Now facing his own copied body, he frowned deeply and did not choose an unyielding attack, but instead opted for defense.
Unexpectedly,
the other party sneered.
As if seeing through him.
“Trash!!”
“Didn’t you always believe that the best defense is offense? Why are you overturning your own philosophy now?!!”
“Trash!!”
“You don’t deserve to live in this world. Let me live well for you. I am the invincible Demon War!!!”
“!!!”
Demon War himself gritted his teeth, ignoring the other party's provocation. Compared to before, he was clearly much more reserved.
Facing the attack,
he directly chose a corresponding defense.
He defended very smoothly, and then Demon War himself countered with a move of True Essence Imperial Miasma, attempting to obscure the other party's perception.
Unexpectedly, the copied body, just like him, possessed top-tier combat awareness, directly using the Wind-Guiding Demonic Energy to scatter all the miasma!!
“!!!”
Demon War was startled; this was no ordinary copied body.
He had fought countless copied bodies and knew that while other copied bodies retained combat awareness, they were definitely not as powerful as the original.
But this Demon War in front of him was simply another him; all his combat strategies were exactly the same as his own!!
“How can I win this?!”
He hesitated for a moment.
The other party immediately attacked again, another strike of the Brahma Sound Divine Palm, which he was very familiar with and skilled at. Almost without thinking, his body reacted accordingly.
But at this moment,
the other party suddenly spoke during the attack.
“Going to dodge?!”
“Going to use the Wind-Splitting Imperial Flash, right?!”
“!!!”
“He knows me too well!!”
Demon War was horrified and quickly used a countermeasure. Although he was at a disadvantage for a moment, once he calmed down slightly, he was able to find the most reasonable way to deal with the other party's attacks.
Thus, the two stalemated.
Coincidentally,
other great prodigies encountered similar situations.
They knew themselves best; what kind of attack should be met with what kind of response.
They didn't even need to think.
It was like the left hand fighting the right hand.
For a time, no victor could be determined.
The audience's tension did not diminish.
“They weren't taught by the same master, so they can't break each other's moves. This is fighting oneself, a left-right hand struggle!!”
“Now it just depends on whose willpower is more tenacious. I think in the end, it might be a contest of willpower!!”
“Damn it, Han Lie's side is fighting like crazy, punching flesh to flesh. Both of them are going to be beaten into pig heads!!”
“But how do I have a feeling...”
“Han Lie has a slight advantage?!”
..................
“Han Lie seems to have an advantage!”
Jijiang said.
If others heard this, they would definitely shake their heads and say it was impossible. With identical combat power, not to mention being able to specifically distinguish who the real Han Lie was,
just being identical, how could one side gain an advantage so quickly?
But Martial God Zhang's eyesight was astonishing,
he found that one of the Han Lies indeed appeared more at ease, and he also knew that was the real Han Lie.
His eyes never left him.
“Really gaining an advantage?”
“But how could it be? Logically, they should have identical strength. Everyone else is stalemated, so Han Lie should also be stalemated!”
The bullet comments couldn't discern these things.
They just worried along.
And at this moment,
the situation suddenly changed.
..............
“Is that all?”
Han Lie laughed heartily. After a series of simple probes, he discovered that the other party could replicate all his achievements and strength, but could not replicate some of his very metaphysical terms.
For example, Destined Great Villain.
Yes, facing the copied body,
his Bullying the Weak and With Weakness Wins Strength could not be triggered, because the other party had identical strength to him.
Calamity of Myriad Races also could not be triggered, because the other party was human, and in the system's judgment, humans were not among the Myriad Races.
Wind Assassin also could not be triggered; Han Lie would not consider himself a chicken, and even a copied body could not be.
But,
having one Destined Great Villain was enough.
The term effect was—
【Destined Great Villain term effect: Cultivation speed +1000%, when facing a Child of Heaven, can discern the opponent's weaknesses, attack power +20%, can randomly learn one of the opponent's martial arts during battle, destroy the opponent's Dao heart........】
“You are my copied body!”
“So,”
“You are a Child of Heaven, right?!”
Han Lie's eyes grew brighter. After dozens of heavy blows, he finally broke through the other party's defense with a direct, heavy punch.
It struck the other party's face directly.
“You can replicate everything about me.”
“Then, what about the cheat?”
“—Bang!”
As the sound fell, the copied Han Lie was directly smashed beneath the glacier. In a duel between experts, life and death were decided in a second or two.
The copied Han Lie was just about to get up.
Han Lie had already raised his Blood Qi Immortal Tree and brought it down heavily from above. The nearly ten-thousand-zhang tall tree had roots so massive they seemed boundless. As it smashed down, it carried irresistible power.
“!!!”
The copied Han Lie revealed an expression of horror. This was simply unacceptable to Han Lie; he couldn't bear to see his own face showing such an expression.
“Thump!!”
“Thump!!!”
“Thump!!!!”
That was the sound of the giant tree smashing the ground. After about dozens of hits, the seemingly incredibly powerful copied Han Lie
had already turned into a pile of flesh.
