The plan was good, but when Xiao Lin faced his own clone, the pressure was even greater than before. The clone did not look any different from himself other than the listless gaze. It was like looking in a mirror, making Xiao Lin feel uncomfortable. No one wished for another one of themselves in the world.

That was why Xiao Lin would not give any quarter to his opponent, but he quickly realized that it was not just speed. He was even completely oppressed when it came to power.

Every time their swords clashed, Xiao Lin would be forced back. The difference shocked Xiao Lin; if they were perfect clones, why could he not beat his opponent?

If Basic Swordsmanship was at MAX, Xiao Lins blade would not only be accurate, it was strong as well, but every single one of his slashes would be accurately predicted and stopped. On the other hand, he could predict the clones movements as well, but even if he did, he found it hard to defend.

Speed was one matter, since Xiao Lin could not maintain Miracle forever, or his body would not be able to fight for long enough. That was why he would only activate the skill when needed. However, the clone was different; it was quite equal to him when fighting normally, but it was just that bit better than him when it came to sudden attack power.

In just a few short minutes, quite a few wounds had appeared on Xiao Lin. Thankfully they were only light wounds, and he had his dragon bloods enhanced recovery. Still, the situation was getting out of hand.

The clone had its own regenerative ability as well, and any wounds it had gotten while fighting with Lilith had all vanished, which exacerbated the situation.

How could his clone be stronger than himself?

Was there something even he himself had yet to discover?

Xiao Lins thoughts were a mess, and he looked to the side. Liliths fight was just as intense, both of their flames were dancing around each other. The flames formed various shapes in the air. The clone was indeed slightly stronger than Xiao Lin, since its flames were oppressing Liliths, and they were part of Liliths limited ranged attacks.

Liliths fight was not too hopeful, so Xiao Lin could only rely on himself.

Xiao Lin tried hard to think if there was anything he had not used. The Holy Soul Swords spirit could not be summoned since there was not enough death energy there, but what about his Replication skill?

Xiao Lin had not used the skill for quite a while, saving it for key moments. However, as his gaze shifted to Lilith, since she was the only target at the moment, he hesitated. Lilith was using her scythe, and if he copied her skills, he would have to switch to a scythe as well, or it would not be very useful.

As he was once again doubting himself, Lilith suddenly said, Xiao Lin! From before, your explosive strength. I think its what the clone is using!

After exchanging blows with the clone, Lilith was naturally familiar with the clones strength, and Xiao Lin naturally trusted her judgement, but what she was referring to

Xiao Lin suddenly realized Lilith was referring to when he almost caused the dragon bloods side effect to take hold of him again when he saw Ibeiya being killed. At the time, he had used necromantic meditation to suppress his killing intent, but he did indeed feel like there was a strange power within him after that, and that strength was much stronger than his usual power.

However, that strength was only present for a moment, like a brief dream, so he had not thought about it after that.

So, this thing possesses that explosive power? He still had his doubts. He did not know what would happen with how strong the dragon bloods side effects were. Would he lose himself again?

In that strange sealed-off cave, he no longer felt the presence of a resurrection tower, so it meant that he would definitely die if he died there, and he did not dare take the risk.

Xiao Lin used all his strength to withstand the clones fierce assault. All he could do was defend at the moment, but every time a flurry of blows came in, he would not be able to block one or two strikes.

He no longer had that much time to hesitate. His exhaustion would only get worse with time, but Xiao Lin basically had no idea how he could activate his dragon blood. If he needed to be angry, what could he use to get angry?

His hope of beating his opponent? No, that was just a will to survive, or even the fear of death, not anger.

Lilith, how do you think I should get angry? Xiao Lin shouted, but the price for his words was a wound on his left shoulder.

Lilith paused before understanding Xiao Lins words. She could not help but mock, You really are useless! If you just fought a bit more with me, you would not be in such a situation!

Xiao Lins eyes twitched. It was quite true; he lacked practical combat experience. If he had mastered this normally, he would not have been in this current situation.

Fine, just think. If you die here, your cute little Ibeiya will run away with someone else. Would you not be angry? Lilith started to help Xiao Lin think about how to get angry, but that instigation only led Xiao Lin to be speechless.

Ive already said, many times, Im not some weird pervert! Xiao Lin felt like he would never recover his reputation.

Ah, lets look at it another way. If you die here, youll never have a change to collect little lolis from every race on Planet Norma.

Isnt that Chen Daos dream?

Whos Chen Dao?

You dont know him.

Lilith mentioned a few things; women, riches, power were all brought up. Xiao Lin could not deny, he had those wishes, but they were things everyone wanted, and were not reasons to be angry.

Lilith was getting frustrated, especially since she was not managing to beat her own clone as well. She suddenly said angrily, You really are troublesome! Then let me tell you a secret. Judge Academy discovered something. Theres someone on Planet Norma who is trying to use our wormholes to head to Earth and eliminate us from the source. Is that enough to anger you?

Xiao Lin was really dumbfounded.
