The brain spins rapidly, the information Zhang Xiaoman can use from his memory is quickly browsed, and soon he devises a method to handle the timespace turbulence.
"Maybe I can use the clone ability."
His eyes light up.
Clone is a basic ability mastered by Zhang Xiaoman, an ability derived from other Dark Spirits, and the clone-type skills he possesses are more than one.
In this world, there are many clone skills, from the most basic illusion avatar to more advanced physical avatars; these are not difficult for Zhang Xiaoman now.
Therefore, logically speaking, he can summon a clone to replace himself in traveling, thus he only needs to place a Star Alliance Marker on the clone to teleport to the newest location at any time.
However, Zhang Xiaoman previously considered this method, and the reason he didn’t implement it is because of the biggest flaw in using clones: the energy level of the clone is too low to reach his speed, nearly unable to catch up with Ni Yang.
The strongest clone-type skill Zhang Xiaoman possesses was obtained from a big family in the Dark Star Alliance, named Divine Shadow Avatar, created by an ancestor of Lower Extraordinary Level in that family, very profound.
But even so, this Divine Shadow Avatar can inherit no more than 15% of his spiritual power from the main body, such a level of spiritual power is fine to deal with mixed soldiers but to chase Ni Yang in speed is clearly impossible.
So, that is the reason why Zhang Xiaoman has not used clones to replace himself in traveling for so long.
But now it’s different because just recently a new skill was received in the organizational skill database, this skill was personally appraised by Lin Sisi, the skill master, and certified as Unlimited Level, the first Unlimited Level skill ever submitted by a member in the organization’s history.
What exactly is the concept of Unlimited Level?
To give a simple example, the invincible ability Zhang Xiaoman possesses is of Unlimited Level.
Usually, this type of ability is obtained from a system lottery, somewhat akin to rule-level abilities, each one can be considered a priceless treasure.
And now a member of the organization has submitted an Unlimited Level skill, this matter not only made Lin Sisi personally verify it but also drew Zhang Xiaoman’s attention.
To know that now Zhang Xiaoman is extremely busy, traveling every day rarely has time to go back to rest for a while.
It was in this resting time that Lin Sisi reported to him the specific information of this ability.
Spider Crab Clone Technique: Able to summon clones with the same energy level as the main body to assist in combat, the maximum number of clones is unlimited.
Yes, this absurd name clone technique’s effects are ridiculously strong, directly summoning a clone capable of inheriting 100% of the main body’s spiritual power, and the number summoned is unlimited, as long as the main body’s strength is powerful enough, it can summon infinitely.
At that time Zhang Xiaoman, upon seeing Lin Sisi’s statistics, was a bit incredulous at his eyes, repeatedly asked her not to joke with him before confirming this fact.
He himself never expected happiness to come so suddenly, a clone capable of inheriting 100% of the main body’s energy, this level of skill, let alone seen, he hadn’t even heard of before.
But now this skill is indeed placed in front of him, and even after he used it, he verified the clone’s strength, it truly inherits all his energy.
Although inheriting all his energy does not mean possessing the same combat power, as long as he is potent enough, the effect of the clone will multiply.
With the most basic dark spiritual power sequence conversion rules, with Zhang Xiaoman’s talent, he quickly learned this skill.
Now, if he fully exerts his power, he can simultaneously produce ten clones, each imbued with all his spiritual power, which is undoubtedly terrifying for his enemies.
And the provider of this skill Zhang Xiaoman was also acquainted with, the two had met once, he even saved the other during a battle against the Demon Clan, that being from the controller Dou Miao, from the Star Alliance Fleet’s drone control legion.
Upon understanding this so-called "Spider Crab Clone Technique" is not originally Dou Miao’s, but rather it is the ability of the Godslayer Level drone she operated, it’s specifically that crab-shaped drone which was almost disassembled by the reaper Wu Qi.
Dou Miao and her combat partner spend day and night together, with quite good talents, close-range feeling and daily exploration, adding a bit of luck, ultimately she inadvertently cracked the usage method of this set of skills and submitted it to the organization.
Having submitted an Unlimited Level skill, Zhang Xiaoman naturally did not withhold his reward.
Dou Miao directly leveled up five times, while also enjoying a massive influx of resources, the key point being that the organization’s leader Lord Jixing, an entity so great that even deities bow before him, actually put out the word, that he would personally guide her training, leaving others envious to the extreme.
All at once, the entire Star Alliance burst into a wave of skill innovation, which resulted in the organization receiving a substantial amount of new skills.
However, these are beside the point, the reason now Zhang Xiaoman plans to use clones to travel is exactly because he mastered the Spider Crab Clone Technique.
Okay, he admits the name is indeed somewhat peculiar, perhaps Dou Miao, that girl, when naming it based on the drone’s features casually named it.
However, Zhang Xiaoman doesn’t want to use this skill named Spider Crab Clone Technique when fighting others, so he gave it a new name — body outside the body.
And this skill indeed lives up to its new name, releasing ten clones, Zhang Xiaoman believes even against those old Middle-level Gods, he has the confidence to fight.
In response to this, he even secretly left a Star Alliance Marker on the previous extinct star, just for the opportunity to return and see if he can deal with the Demon Clan commander after Ni Yang’s matter is resolved.
Returning to the chaotic domain area, Zhang Xiaoman expended all spiritual power to directly summon ten bodies outside the body.
Each of these avatars possesses comparable power to his main body, though these powers might be influenced by combat skills, dark spiritual power sequence control-relevant factors, unable to be fully exploited.
But at least its energy level meets the requirement, using them to perform dark speed for the most basic traveling task is still viable.
Mental transfer relayed out, those ten avatars flew respectively in different directions, then adjusted targets to chase Ni Yang.
The reason for intentionally detouring so much is Zhang Xiaoman plans to try his luck, through pursuing via different paths to augment success rates.
As time distortion in chaotic domains is without rules, so if lucky enough, perhaps one path of clones could enter a time deceleration zone, thereby quicker in chasing Ni Yang.
"The ability of the body outside the body has not been used in combat before; unexpectedly, it’s first being used by me to find someone, Ni Yang, what exactly are you seeking, the truth of this magic tide, how much do you actually know..."
Zhang Xiaoman gazed at the distant direction, worry hanging in his eyes.
...
Deep within the chaotic domain.
A figure thousands of meters long transforms into green lightning, traversing at an extremely exaggerated speed.
His body bearing wounds ranging from small to large, upon closer examination, you would find those wounds covered with vicious demonic energy, hindering their healing.
Ni Yang’s eyes reveal deep fatigue, but simultaneously exist even greater anxiety and longing.
"Zizi, I’m coming... Zizi, this time... I won’t let you just leave like this!"
His gaze grows firmer, speed unexpectedly increasing once more.
