Clang!
Two identical Decapitators collided with a loud bang, and a powerful energy wave spread out.
Qi Yuan only felt a huge force transmitted from the Decapitator's hilt, and the weapon almost fell out of his hand. He had to take two steps back to get rid of the rebound force.
The clone also took two steps back, and the Decapitator in his hand buzzed and trembled. The two of them went all out in the first exchange, and they were evenly matched!
Qi Yuan's expression became serious. Although it was only a collision of blades, he had tested the strength of the clone. His strength and speed were no worse than his own. This degree of perfection of the clone was simply unimaginable.
Facing such an opponent who was no worse than himself, Qi Yuan finally felt his own strength clearly.
At this moment, Qi Yuan was extremely glad that he did not bring Doomsday Strike with him. If both of them used Doomsday Strike to attack at the same time, Qi Yuan doubted that his Grade 2 Steel Defense could block the Annihilation Warhead.
If both of their heads exploded, it would be awkward.
"Again!"
Qi Yuan exhaled and slashed the Decapitator in his hand at the clone.
Qi Yuan was more familiar with the clone's methods than anyone else. After all, the other party had perfectly replicated his abilities and weapons, so Qi Yuan did not dare to use Steel Defense to resist the Decapitator's attack.
Although the Grade 2 strength was not enough to seriously injure him, Energy Torrent could.
Energy Torrent was his strongest killing move to defeat the clone, and it was also the clone's strongest move.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Under the area detection, any sneak attack could not be used. Neither of them could break through the other's defense. Under the fierce attack, it was one slash after another, colliding with full strength again and again.
The full explosion of strength and speed finally turned into a series of dense metal collision sounds, and sparks flew all over the sky.
Looking at the battle between the two, Pei Zongyan's palms were sweating unknowingly.
It was not until this moment that he finally saw how terrifying Qi Yuan's strength was. If not for the light sphere replicating Qi Yuan's clone, he would not have been able to test Qi Yuan's true strength in this last battle.
Clang!
After another full-force collision, the Decapitator in the hands of Qi Yuan and the clone flew out at the same time.
Qi Yuan clenched his right fist and quietly activated Energy Control. A blazing purple flame gushed out from his body and instantly ignited his violent fist.
Across from him, a crazed look flashed in the eyes of the clone. Similar purple flames soared into the sky.
Even the purple laser flames in the energy heart were replicated!
Qi Yuan stared at the clone without fear, and then swung his fist with purple flames at the same time.
Rumble!
Two fists burning with purple flames crossed each other, and with a thunderous boom, the two fists hit each other's chest at the same time.
Qi Yuan let out a muffled groan as the rock beneath his feet collapsed and shattered. A terrifying, heart-burning energy instantly pierced through his steel defenses and seeped into his body, wildly destroying his organs.
Energy Control was quickly activated, forcibly suppressing the purple laser flames in his body and directing the dissipated energy to the energy heart, thus preventing his internal organs from being burned to ashes.
Qi Yuan coughed, only to taste the taste of blood in his mouth. This punch had already injured his internal organs. Fortunately, [Steel Self-Healing] had a strong recovery ability, and his cells still had enough liquid metal stored in them.
[Steel Self-Healing] quietly activated and rapidly healed his internal injuries. Qi Yuan stared at the clone without blinking, staring at the wound on his chest.
Compared to other abilities, [Steel Self-Healing] was a special ability because it required a large amount of metal to heal injuries.
The clone in front of him could replicate the appearance, weapon, ability, energy heart, and purple laser flames, but could you really replicate everything?
Could you replicate the liquid metal stored in my cells?
Could you replicate the huge Asterite energy in my body?
If you could replicate all of this, could you replicate the rank 3 talent point in my body?
With all kinds of trump cards in his hands, Qi Yuan did not doubt that he could defeat the imposter in front of him. He just did not want to reveal too many of his trump cards.
As his internal injuries healed, the corners of Qi Yuan's mouth suddenly curled up slightly. He found that the clone's recovery speed was obviously slower than his.
In order to avoid being noticed by the people from the shelter, Qi Yuan deliberately did not heal his external injuries. He looked as battered and exhausted as the clone, but his internal injuries had mostly healed.
The clone was different. His internal injuries were still there!
This proved that although the clone had replicated his [Steel Self-Healing], it could not replicate the liquid metal hidden in his cells and could not quickly repair his internal injuries. The replication of the clone was, after all, a clumsy imitation!
Without the powerful recovery ability of [Steel Self-Healing], what can you use to fight me head-on?
Rumble!
The two identical Qi Yuans used the most barbaric method to engage in a violent melee. The blazing purple laser flames were constantly being dispersed, scattering into the surrounding void, causing the onlookers to be dazzled.
Amidst the dull sounds of collisions, Sun Jia and Pei Zongyan could no longer tell which one was the real Qi Yuan and which one was the clone.
Seeing one of the Qi Yuan gradually showing signs of weakness, Sun Jia suddenly became nervous. Although Qi Yuan had crushed all the way in the previous battles, he had also consumed a certain amount of strength.
The clone, on the other hand, was fighting in peak condition. This seemingly weak disadvantage was very likely to affect the outcome of the battle in the fierce battle.
The ball of light could perfectly replicate almost all targets below rank 4, whether it was abilities or weapons. Nothing could escape its replication, but there was one thing it could not replicate.
That was mental willpower!
Qi Yuan, who had consumed a wave of energy in advance, was at a disadvantage from the very beginning. If Qi Yuan could stabilize himself and his willpower was strong enough, as long as he persevered, he would have a chance to defeat his opponent.
But up until now, the battle between the two sides had not been long, far from reaching the point where the clone's battle willpower would decline.
This meant that the one at a disadvantage was most likely the real Qi Yuan!
As the decline of "Qi Yuan" became more and more obvious, Sun Jia's expression became more and more ugly. Qi Yuan's victory in the assessment, which had been within his grasp, had turned from victory to defeat because of Kou Haitao's balancing act!
Compared to Sun Jia, Pei Zongyan's expression also changed from gloomy to gloomy.
Obviously, he also regarded the suppressed party as Qi Yuan.
"Kou Haitao, if Qi Yuan loses because of your little tricks, you know the consequences!" Sun Jia said with a gloomy expression.
Kou Haitao's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "You're threatening me!"
"Don't forget your identity. You haven't left the crisis management department yet!"
"So what!" Sun Jia lowered his voice and growled.
"You said that as long as we don't break the rules, you won't interfere. But now, you're going back on your words and stopping Qi Yuan at the last moment. Don't think that just because you don't admit it, we can't get hold of your weakness. Tanqiu has the authority to access your operation log!"
Kou Haitao glanced at Sun Jia.
"Do you know why the higher-ups made me the head examiner?
Because I'm different from you. Tanqiu can't threaten me! "
Although Sun Jia was indignant, he did not dare to fall out with Pei Zongyan, whose strength and status were above his.
Two idiots!
Kou Haitao cursed in his heart!
Sun Jia and Pei Zongyan were not perceptive enough and had misjudged him, but he would not. Only he knew that the Qi Yuan who had the upper hand and was gradually turning his advantage into victory was the real Qi Yuan. The clone had been suppressed to the brink of defeat.
However, how did Qi Yuan do it?
Kou Haitao's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. The countless transformations in the past had already proven the ability of the light ball. It could perfectly replicate any target below rank 4, even the polluted beast was no exception.
Although this clone of Qi Yuan had displayed strength that was on par with Qi Yuan's at the start, as the battle between the two intensified, the clone began to show signs of weakness.
This did not make sense!
Qi Yuan, whose combat power was damaged, should not have been able to gain the upper hand so easily against a clone with complete combat power.
Could it be that Qi Yuan had awakened a new ability in the battle just now?
Kou Haitao touched his chin. Although this possibility was small, it was the only possibility he could think of.
After all, he had never thought that there would be a bug in the clone of the light ball …
Boom!
Qi Yuan took the clone's fist head-on and punched its chest with all his strength. The violent power instantly penetrated its body and wreaked havoc in the clone's body.
Although the steel defense was strong, without the recovery ability of steel, there was a limit to its strength.
Under the continuous bombardment of Qi Yuan's fists, the clone's steel defense could no longer withstand the explosive power of the attacks.
The Blazing Angel, who was silently hiding in the clone's body, looked at the clone that was vomiting blood and retreating with a puzzled expression. She felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from the clone.
The Blazing Angel stretched out her finger and brushed it across a purple laser flame beside her. That familiar feeling became even clearer.
That was a purple laser flame that Qi Yuan had absorbed from the clone. The Blazing Angel could sense a lot of information from it.
That familiar energy fluctuation!
That familiar aura!
It seems delicious!
As she thought about it, saliva began to drip from the corner of the Blazing Angel's mouth!
"It seems delicious. Can I eat it?
Mm, I just don't want to waste it! "The Blazing Angel's thoughts were weakly transmitted into Qi Yuan's consciousness.
Qi Yuan was slightly stunned and his movements slowed. The clone that was almost knocked out of The Abyss took the opportunity to break free from the suppression and finally gasped for breath.
Delicious?
Qi Yuan looked at the clone in front of him with slight surprise. Although it was strange for the Blazing Angel to use delicious to evaluate a clone that looked exactly like her, Qi Yuan knew very well that the Blazing Angel was very picky with her food. Apart from Asterite energy, she had always been uninterested in other energies, which directly led to a large increase in the cost of raising her.
If he had not obtained a huge Asterite from the Headless Giant statue, Qi Yuan suspected that the Blazing Angel would have a conflict with him because she was hungry.
No matter what was special about the clone in front of him, since it could arouse the Blazing Angel's appetite, he could not let it go so easily.
The Blazing Angel's diet was too simple. It would be good to add another type of food!
Thinking of this, Qi Yuan suddenly slowed down the pace of his attacks. Since he had encountered the clone, he would fight for a while longer.
"I will try to absorb the energy in his body. Eat slowly and pay attention to hiding. Don't be discovered by others!" Qi Yuan reminded.
The Blazing Angel nodded happily. She resisted the urge to swallow the clone into her stomach and waved her small hands, preparing to chew and swallow slowly.
After being heavily injured consecutively, the clone's strength had clearly decreased. Qi Yuan quickly closed the distance between them and once again engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
But this time, Qi Yuan deliberately restrained his strength, making the battle seem evenly matched. At the same time, he increased the physical contact between the two sides.
Bang!
Qi Yuan punched the clone's left chest, causing the energy heart to shrink uncontrollably. A wisp of energy stored in it dissipated.
Qi Yuan used Energy Control to quickly absorb the dissipated energy and absorbed it into his body.
The moment the energy entered his body, Qi Yuan's heart suddenly trembled.
Asterite energy?
Asterite energy was actually stored in the energy heart of this clone!
No wonder the Blazing Angel found it delicious!
This fellow was eyeing the Asterite energy in his body!
Inside the energy heart, the Blazing Angel was pouting as she absorbed the energy she had just absorbed into her body. The smile in her eyes was almost overflowing.
"Is this Asterite energy?" Qi Yuan asked.
"It's Asterite energy!
It's just a different flavor! "The Blazing Angel nodded.
It's not an illusion. It's really Asterite energy!
After receiving the Blazing Angel's confirmation, Qi Yuan's eyes flashed. He quickly guessed the source of the Asterite energy.
The light ball's replication ability was indeed infinitely close to perfection. Although it did not replicate the liquid metal stored in his cells, it perfectly replicated the energy heart and all the energy stored in it!
Fortunately, it did not replicate the Blazing Angel. Otherwise, it would really be lively!
What exactly was that light ball?
It was fine if it could replicate the energy heart, but it could actually replicate the Asterite energy!
Doubts flashed through Qi Yuan's mind.
Moreover, since the clone had so much Asterite energy, why didn't it activate Steel Self-Healing to heal injuries? Asterite had special attributes that other energy did not have. It could replace liquid metal to a certain extent and repair the body. Why did it abandon it?
Could it be restricted?
With so much Asterite energy stored in the energy heart, if you don't use it, I'll use it for you!
Thinking of this, Qi Yuan suddenly had a thought — if I can control that light ball, can I use it to replicate Asterite energy infinitely?
That should be impossible!
Qi Yuan quickly rejected this unrealistic fantasy.
Not to mention whether he could control the light ball, just the fact that it replicated the Asterite energy meant that it had to pay a certain price.
Asterite energy could not appear out of thin air. If the light ball could really replicate unlimited Asterite energy without any price, it would definitely not escape the eyes of those researchers.
This is not something I should be thinking about now!
What I should be thinking about now is how to squeeze more Asterite energy out of it!
No matter what price the light ball paid, so much Asterite energy was real. It was time to let the Blazing Angel eat its fill.
Qi Yuan's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his attacks became more and more ruthless. Punch after punch rained down on the clone's body, and half of his punches landed on the clone's left chest, squeezing out the star energy from the star energy stone within the clone's heart.
