Chapter 166 A Groundbreaking Achievement! Clearing the 99th Floor of the Trial Tower!

Chu Han did not dare to be careless; his figure flashed as he used a movement technique to try and pull away.

But the Clone's speed was even faster, deploying the same movement technique and following closely behind like a shadow. The long saber in its hand slashed out continuously, as the Army Breaking Saber Momentum fused with the Scarlet Flame Saber Art. Every Move was sharp and lethal, perfectly replicating all of Chu Han's offensive techniques.

"This can't go on!" Chu Han thought to himself.

With every Move he made, the Clone could predict it in advance and counter with the same technique, and it was even more precise than he was in terms of power control.

After several exchanges, although Chu Han managed to maneuver barely using his combat experience, he had already sustained two saber wounds. His flame defense was easily broken by the Clone's same-attribute attack.

Just then, a golden glow flashed in the Clone's eyes, and alarm bells rang in Chu Han's heart.

That was the sign of the Soul Imprint being deployed!

He hadn't expected that this Clone could even replicate the S-rank Spiritual Martial Skill he had just learned!

Chu Han immediately activated his Spiritual Domain, and an invisible spiritual barrier unfolded.

As expected, an imperceptible Soul Imprint struck the barrier and was instantly deflected.

But the Clone took this opportunity to close in, its flame demon battle saber stabbing straight for Chu Han's heart while its left hand condensed flames. The Heaven Burning Palm was ready to strike, perfectly connecting saber techniques with palm techniques—it was exactly the combo Chu Han frequently used.

Seeing this, Chu Han also used a Soul Imprint to counter-attack.

The Puppet deployed its Spiritual Domain for defense, and its movements slowed for a split second.

Chu Han immediately swung his saber to deflect the incoming Battle Saber, while simultaneously using the Flame God Finger to point at the opponent's palm.

Flame God Finger versus Heaven Burning Palm.

The violent fire attribute energy instantly collided, causing a fierce energy explosion.

"Nine Transformations of Heavenly Fire - Third Transformation!"

Chu Han erupted momentarily, using a secret technique, and the power of the Flame God Finger suddenly surged.

To his surprise, the Puppet also deployed the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Fire - Third Transformation, blocking Chu Han's eruption with the same power.

"Giant Whale Transformation!"

Chu Han erupted with his full power, and the Puppet followed suit.

The two massive forces clashed again, causing violent tremors.

After another round of intense fighting, Chu Han still hadn't gained the upper hand.

He finally realized that this Clone not only replicated his skills but could also formulate optimal tactics based on his combat habits; it was practically his natural enemy.

His eyes narrowed as he rapidly thought of a countermeasure.

Cold sweat broke out on Chu Han's forehead. Every second of fighting the Clone was like playing a game against another perfect version of himself.

The opponent had not only replicated all his abilities and Moves but even used the recently mastered spiritual attacks to perfection. Moreover, every counter-attack was precise to the extreme, perfectly avoiding all damage as if it had predicted all his movements in advance.

It would be very difficult to win using conventional fighting methods.

After a period of fierce battle, Chu Han had also benefited greatly. Now his greatest enemy was himself; only by breaking through himself could he clear this floor.

"A program is just a program after all. It only fights according to the optimal model. Once it goes beyond its preset logic, flaws will appear!"

In a flash of thought, a look of determination flashed in Chu Han's eyes.

He abruptly stopped his retreating figure, and the Origin Energy around him surged. He no longer deliberately defended but instead proactively charged toward the Clone's attack.

At the same time, he activated his Clone Talent, summoning a Clone that looked exactly like him.

The Clone possessed eighty percent of the original's strength, enough to perform most Martial Skills.

The Clone's reaction was extremely fast. Almost at the same moment Chu Han summoned his Clone, it also produced a Mirror Clone, and a two-on-two battle was instantly formed.

The Mirror Clone and the main body lunged together, the flames on the flame demon battle saber burning even more intensely, clearly intending to end the battle as quickly as possible.

He controlled his Clone to attack the Puppet's main body and ordered the Clone to launch a desperate charge at it.

In an instant, Chu Han's Clone exposed its biggest flaw in front of the Puppet.

The Puppet immediately used a Flame Dragon Slash to strike at Chu Han's Clone.

At the same time, the Puppet controlled its own Mirror Clone to attack Chu Han, giving him no chance to rescue his Clone.

"Now!"

A smug smile appeared on Chu Han's face as he allowed the Puppet's Mirror Clone's attack to strike his back.

Simultaneously, he concentrated all his power to aim straight for the Puppet's main body.

This was a Move that completely violated the "optimal solution."

Chu Han used his own Clone as bait to attract all the attacks of the Puppet's main body,

While allowing himself to take the hit from the opponent's Mirror Clone.

*Bang!*

With a loud crash, Chu Han's back took a solid hit from the Puppet's Mirror Clone.

But since the opponent's strength was only 80%, the hit didn't actually cause much damage to Chu Han, nor did it affect his attack rhythm.

On the contrary, Chu Han's full-power strike severed the right arm of the Puppet's main body, while a Flame God Finger pierced through its chest.

*Crack!*

The Puppet's main body was instantly heavily damaged.

Although it had also taken out Chu Han's Clone, its own strength had dropped significantly.

In contrast, Chu Han's strength remained intact. Even if the Puppet still had an 80% strength Mirror Clone, they were no match for Chu Han even if they teamed up!

"Losing an arm, let's see how you'll maintain a perfect defense now!" Chu Han sneered and lunged forward again.

As expected, after the Puppet lost its right arm, a huge flaw appeared in its defense.

Under Chu Han's storm-like offensive, more and more flaws appeared, and it suffered one heavy blow after another.

Even with the assistance of its Mirror Clone, it still couldn't defend itself.

The gap between the Mirror Clone and the main body was too large; Chu Han had calculated this from the start.

Chu Han seized the opportunity and struck with all his might, the flame demon battle saber in his hand tracing a strange arc.

*Swish!*

A red glow flashed on the blade, and with it, the Puppet's other arm flew into the air.

Having lost both arms, the Puppet's combat power plummeted, and it was kicked away by Chu Han.

Then, with a backhand Flame God Finger, he took out the Puppet's Mirror Clone as well.

Now, only the armless Puppet remained on the field.

"Die!"

Chu Han no longer held back. The punch power of the Flame God Slash erupted as he slashed out, and a destructive fire dragon roared forth, aimed straight at the Puppet's body.

The Puppet tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

*Boom!*

The flame dragon slammed hard into the Puppet's Origin Energy Core, shattering its body into pieces.

At this moment, Chu Han's Clone Puppet was completely defeated, dissipating into a sky full of points of light.

"Finally solved!"

Chu Han retracted his flame demon battle saber and panted heavily, his eyes flashing with excitement.

He watched as the remains of the Clone gradually vanished, and his mind suddenly cleared.

A truly strong person must not only master powerful Martial Skills but also dare to break through their own limitations to progress.

"Trial ended. Time: 24 minutes and 03 seconds. You have broken the record for the 99th floor of the trial tower!"

"You have cleared the 99th floor. Your first challenge comes with extra credits reward. You have received a total of 300,000 credits and obtained special trial tower permissions: you may challenge any floor of the trial tower at any time."

A cold mechanical voice sounded, and the Mirror Space began to slowly fade away.

Clearing the 99th floor had directly brought him a reward of 300,000 credits.

The credits he currently had on him already exceeded 600,000.

With a flash of his figure, Chu Han stepped into the Teleportation Array and left the trial tower.

At this time, he had not only broken the record for the 99th floor but had also achieved a self-Breakthrough during the battle, and his strength had improved slightly compared to before.

Meanwhile, the entire campus was in an uproar.

Principal Principal stared fixedly at the news of the trial tower being completely cleared, unable to calm his heart for a long time.

"This Chu Han has brought me another surprise."
