This ti returning to Earth, he had bought a dose of Red Scale Factor for Qing Hong, which it had already used, and there was still one more chance for fusion. Since there was no suitable Alien Species available yet, he had to reserve it and wait for the right mont; he might encounter a monster that could be directly consud, allowing another round of gene recombination.
Not giving Qing Hong a chance to crave, Ji Xinghuo overca his ntal barrier, closed his eyes, and stuffed the heart of the Gale Beast into his mouth.
He swallowed greedily, and soon the whole heart was in his stomach.
Blood covered his mouth and face, making him look sowhat terrifying.
"Burp..."
Ji Xinghuo wiped the fresh blood from his mouth, tasting the fishiness everywhere, but unexpectedly, the flavor was good, and the texture was chewy—warm and different from any food he had eaten before, indescribable.
Quickly, the heart of the Gale Beast digested in his stomach, releasing a strange energy that spread throughout his body and fused with his Star Power.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Ji Xinghuo felt joy in his heart, gaining one more chance for fusion.
He had gained an extra opportunity when he was promoted to Legendary, one more from using Star Tears, and had spent one due to fusion overload.
Now that he had consud the heart of the Gale Beast, he still had two more chances to fuse with Alien Species.
"I can consider fusing with the Shadow Clone now."
With this thought in mind, Ji Xinghuo quickly collected all the Alien Species from the Gale Beast, leaving the rest of the corpse behind. It would be quickly devoured by the wild beasts.
After flying several hundred kiloters, he landed in a secluded valley and took out a piece of Alien Species.
[Alien Species: Shadow Clone]
[Grade: Transcendent]
[Fusion Success Rate: 88%]
[Upgradeable: Yes]
The physical form of the Shadow Clone Alien Species was a transparent mbrane, about the size of a human face, resembling skin peeled off a monster, as soft and smooth as silk with multiple shadows appearing when illuminated by sunlight.
On Earth, many Mutants had obtained the Shadow Clone, and various countries and organizations had researched this Alien Species.
However, the research yielded little, completely failing to understand its principle, with many aspects defying the laws of physics.
Ultimately, it was determined that the Shadow Clone belonged to the Mysterious Elent Ability.
The temporary clones it created not only replicated the external appearance and internal structures of the original body but also replicated the clothes worn, weapons held, and the current status of the original body, although the statistics of all aspects were only half of the original.
Yet, so items and statuses could not be replicated, without any discernible pattern.
The number and duration of Shadow Clones increased with the Level of Ability, consuming a considerable amount of Star Power.
To control the Shadow Clone, it is best to have "Multitasking."
"High-frequency Thinking" would also suffice.
Although Ji Xinghuo had not fused with multitasking, he possessed High-frequency Thinking, which had advanced to "Overclocking Thought," making control of the Shadow Clone unquestionably manageable, and even more effective than lower-grade multitasking.
"Fusion Success Rate of 88%, that’s already quite high."
"Anyway, I’m just missing a ’Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body’, and then the ’Electromagnetic Dominator’ Professional Template would be complete; it’s tough to find Transcendent Alien Species with a fusion rate above 90%, and their contribution to strength enhancent might not even compare to that of the Shadow Clone."
Ji Xinghuo pondered.
He had considered the decision to fuse or not with the Shadow Clone for a long ti, so he quickly made up his mind.
He placed the mbrane of the Shadow Clone Alien Species onto his face, completely covering it.
It was like a transparent mask.
After it adhered, Ji Xinghuo controlled a wisp of Star Power to seep through the face into the mbrane; the Alien Species then softened further, gradually rging into his face like a liquid, and after a few minutes, it completely disappeared.
Ji Xinghuo waited for the fusion, a strange vitality spreading from his face throughout his body, covering his skin.
Chillingly cold, his body felt like it was encased in a layer of skin.
He turned to look at his shadow.
Under the sunlight, although Ji Xinghuo had not moved, the shadow began to shake violently as if a monster was trying to erge from it.
A mont later.
The shadow beca epheral before stabilizing again.
Ji Xinghuo opened the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface, saw the Ability information refresh, and his Star Power had increased by a few dozen points, indicating the successful fusion of the Alien Species!
[Alien Species: Shadow Clone (First Level 1/499)]
The newly fused shadow clone was only at the first level, needing 499 points of Spiritual Origin Energy to upgrade.
Ji Xinghuo was sowhat surprised. This was more difficult to upgrade than the majority of abilities he had fused with. Among the Transcendent Species, only Spiritual Energy and Alien Coexistence required more Spiritual Origin Energy. Rotating Magnetic Field and Electrostatic Field were sowhat less demanding.
"Let’s test the effect."
He tried to activate the ability.
In an instant, over 600 points of Star Power from the Magnetic Spirit Star Core were consud, and two shadows flew out from his body, standing by his side.
The two shadow clones, one on the left and one on the right, had the sa appearance as him, as if they had been copied, possessing real bodies, even their light armor was exactly the sa. Only when he didn’t focus on controlling them did their gazes beco sowhat vacant.
Ji Xinghuo observed carefully. If one only relied on the naked eye, it was impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.
This feeling was very special.
His brain simultaneously received information from three perspectives, possessing triple different angles of vision, hearing, sll, and touch, all completely synchronized.
Trying to move one shadow clone, the movent was silky smooth.
They could run, fly, shoot arrows, perform Electric Light Spiral Force, and most abilities could be normally executed, but there was no Dinsion Stomach.
There was no Wanxiang Star Pupil either!
When Ji Xinghuo controlled one shadow clone, his own body and the other shadow clone beca sowhat overwheld. He imdiately entered Overclocking Thought, and suddenly, the movents of his real body and the two shadow clones beca fluid, as though they were one person.
In the valley, he carried out a series of tests. The shadow clones’ strength, speed, and defense were only about half of his real body’s.
Their neural thinking was consistent with the real body since he was controlling them himself.
The existence of the shadow clones constantly consud Star Power. If the Star Power invested during creation was exhausted, the clone would dissipate.
Over 300 points of Star Power wouldn’t last long if the battle was fierce.
Different attacks also had different consumption rates.
lee consud the least, followed by shooting arrows.
However, the clone’s replicated Spiritual String Song was significantly weakened. It had various functional arrows, but both the lethality and range were an order of magnitude worse. Shooting Star Power Arrows would also hasten the dissipation of the shadow clone.
If it unleashed a punch with full-force Electric Light Spiral Force, the shadow clone would disappear.
Standing completely still, the shadow clone lasted the longest.
Almost three hours!
Ji Xinghuo conducted many tests, controlling the shadow clones to coordinate. In the instant he created a shadow clone, the real body could also switch places with one of the shadow clones, making it difficult for the enemy to find his real body at that mont.
But once the shadow clone appeared, he could not switch anymore.
This could be life-saving in a critical mont.
The deploynt of shadow clones also had a cooldown period. A first level shadow clone took about 90 minutes before it could be used again.
Ji Xinghuo quickly mastered the application of shadow clones, then upgraded it.
Following the previous fusion overload, he still had a few hundred points of Spiritual Origin Energy left, just enough to upgrade the shadow clone to (Second Level 1/5099).
At the second level, the number of shadow clones doubled!
Additionally, each shadow clone’s creation Star Power reached over 500 points, allowing them to last longer and their strength also improved.
Controlling four shadow clones was more difficult. Ji Xinghuo explored for a few hours before adapting.
He had already read up on the materials.
With each level rise of the shadow clones, the number would double.
First level created two shadow clones, second level had four, third level had eight, and so on.
But on Earth, there was no record of any Mutants elevating their shadow clones to the fourth level; the maximum was only eight shadow clones.
"Thousand Illusion Swordman" Li Xuan was one such example.
During the third match against Li Xuan, Ji Xinghuo created eight shadow clones, but he saw through the real and fake instantly, found Li Xuan’s real body, and the shadow clones failed to exhibit their full power.
"I’m not that worthless like Li Xuan."
Ji Xinghuo sneered with disdain.
Other people’s shadow clones were mostly used to confuse their opponents, primarily for defense, or just to increase their numbers, but his shadow clones were different. Combined with other abilities, they could be utilized creatively, enhancing his strength more than the Star Fall Ability!
He didn’t stay long in this valley. He took off heading to Peach Blossom Valley, sowhat impatient to et Ren Jie.
