Two People on Different Wavelengths
Zhang Lexuan's gaze sharpened slightly as she looked at the shadow still resting on the lake's surface in the distance, her expression serious.
Undoubtedly, that was a reflection of herself.
Moreover, she was clearly standing in the moonlight, yet she had completely vanished from sight, which was utterly bizarre.
However, now is not the time to consider this, because Zhang Lexuan saw her shadow slowly stand up.
What was originally a paper-thin shadow transformed into an exact replica of Zhang Lexuan, down to the last hair.
The only difference was probably the color of her dress.
Zhang Lexuan wore a blue long dress, while Shadow Xuan wore a white long dress.
Shadow Xuan looked at Zhang Lexuan, raised an eyebrow, and praised, "I look quite pretty like this."
Zhang Lexuan: "..."
Shadow Xuan brushed her long black hair aside with her slender, jade-like fingers and said, "Don't you think I'm pretty?"
Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly. For some reason, she really wanted to punch the person in front of her who looked exactly like her to death.
However, Shadow Xuan didn't care about Zhang Lexuan's death stare and continued, "Alright, alright, stop staring at me like that, I get shy too."
This time, Zhang Lexuan didn't stand still. Instead, she instantly activated her Martial Soul. Her fifth Soul Ring flashed with black light, and a golden crescent moon suddenly descended from the sky, striking down directly at Shadow Xuan!
"The real culprit!"
Shadow Xuan muttered something, but instead of dodging, she also lit up her fifth Soul Ring, and an identical golden crescent moon rose from the lake, instantly meeting the crescent moon attack falling from the sky.
Boom--
The two crescent moons collided, and after a dazzling flash of moonlight, they miraculously dissolved into each other.
Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan was not surprised. Her Soul Power surged again, and after her ninth Soul Ring emitted a dazzling red light, a huge Full Moon several meters wide appeared behind Zhang Lexuan.
Immediately, a domain filled with cold light formed within a radius of 100 meters.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Lexuan, like a fairy under the moon, moved with the lightness of a swan, dancing gracefully. In the blink of an eye, almost the entire sky was filled with her figure, and each figure emitted a bright moonlight as sharp as a sword, heading straight for Shadow Xuan.
It was Zhang Lexuan's ninth Soul Skill - Moon Immortal Heavenly Dance, and her Domain Skill - Cold Moon Immortal Light that erupted simultaneously.
Seeing this, Shadow Xuan showed no panic, but smiled charmingly. Just like when she dealt with the Fifth Soul Skill, she also used Moon Immortal Heavenly Dance and Cold Moon Immortal Light.
It was the exact same attack exchange again!
However, if there were outsiders present, they would be surprised to see the screen filled with images of Zhang Lexuan.
This wasn't just one person hitting themselves; it was a whole bunch of people hitting themselves, creating an extremely chaotic scene.
If Zhang Lexuan and Shadow Xuan hadn't been wearing different colored clothes, no one would have known who was hitting whom.
Using the same Soul Skill and even the same Soul Power, Zhang Lexuan and Shadow Xuan clashed over a hundred times before finally retreating to the side.
Even someone as strong as Zhang Lexuan would find it difficult to withstand a hundred or more moves from an opponent of the same level... no, it should be said that she would have to face another version of herself.
If she were facing other level 97 Super Douluo, with her Dual Soul Cores advantage and the enhancement from the immortal Immortal Herb, Zhang Lexuan could easily defeat them.
But how can you fight your own shadow, which possesses the exact same Soul Skill and even other abilities?
Most importantly, after exchanging blows hundreds of times, she now felt her Soul Power was running low, but the shadow opposite her seemed tireless.
As Zhang Lexuan stood silently motionless, Shadow Xuan spoke up again with a grin, "See, you can't beat me. You are me, and I am you, but I don't get tired. You'll only wear yourself down like this, so why bother? You might as well..."
Suddenly, Zhang Lexuan looked up and stared directly at Shadow Xuan, interrupting her. "That's right, you are me, and I am you."
Shadow Xuan:??? Didn't I just say that? Why are you repeating it?
Then, in the next second, to Shadow Xuan's stunned and shocked gaze, Zhang Lexuan actually pointed a finger at her right shoulder, and with a "poof" sound, a beam of white moonlight pierced through it.
"Puff--"
This sound was the sound of Zhang Lexuan spitting out a mouthful of blood.
But this wasn't just the sound of Zhang Lexuan vomiting blood, because Shadow Xuan was also vomiting blood at the same time.
Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan smiled.
That's really true!
Without Shadow Xuan's earlier reminder, "You are me, and I am you," Zhang Lexuan wouldn't have realized so quickly that she could hurt Shadow Xuan in this way.
Because in previous battles, Shadow Xuan always used the exact same Soul Skill to deal with her, but never actually harmed her physical body.
Simply put, Shadow Xuan only defended and never attacked, merely neutralizing Zhang Lexuan's attacks each time.
But the shadow belongs to oneself; if one is gone, then the shadow will naturally disappear as well.
What if you get injured?
Can a shadow, as another version of oneself, also get hurt?
With a try-it-and-see attitude, Zhang Lexuan directly inflicted a penetrating wound on herself. After all, her main body had absorbed the two great Immortal Herb, Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone, so she wouldn't die so easily.
The experiment showed that Zhang Lexuan guessed correctly.
No wonder my Soul Power had clearly decreased after fighting for so long, and my shadow hadn't even managed to hurt her. So that's why.
If they continue fighting like this, Zhang Lexuan will never be able to defeat Shadow Xuan, no matter what.
But now, she has found a way.
Therefore, seeing the figure opposite her vomiting blood, Zhang Lexuan raised her hand again and pressed it on her left shoulder.
Just as she was about to inflict another penetrating wound on herself, Shadow Xuan hurriedly said, "Wait, wait, can you stop in such a hurry to hurt yourself? Let's talk this out, let's talk this out."
However, Zhang Lexuan didn't let go, staging a scene where she threatened herself. "You admit defeat?"
Shadow Xuan opened her mouth, remained silent, and after a long while said, "Fine, fine, you win."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shadow Xuan released another burst of mist, and in the next instant, she transformed back into the white-clad woman whose face was obscured.
At the same time, Zhang Lexuan discovered that her shadow had reappeared.
Then, the woman in white said, "You have passed your trial and can now receive the inheritance."
Zhang Lexuan immediately blurted out, "Huh?"
Zhang Lexuan was truly shocked. Was the trial really that simple? Are you kidding me? Are you sure this is a trial that can lead to godhood?
Seeing Zhang Lexuan's bewildered and shocked expression, the woman in white asked in confusion, "Shouldn't you be happy to have passed the trial and obtained the inheritance? What's with that expression?"
Zhang Lexuan was speechless. Suddenly, she began to doubt whether this was the Forbidden Land of Gods Uncle Wang and Aunt Ling had described as a place of near-death experiences.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Lexuan still asked, "What Deity's legacy is it?"
In her diary, Zhou Huan mentioned that she should not accept Deity Inheritance casually; Uncle Wang and Aunt Ling also introduced her to the Deity and the division of God Position positions in the Douluo God Realm, so Zhang Lexuan should ask clearly before accepting the inheritance.
Upon hearing this, the woman in white remained silent for a moment before saying, "What Deity Inheritance? I only mentioned inheritance, not Deity Inheritance."
Zhang Lexuan:???
