The crowd was beside itself with excitement, their expectations soaring. Qin Hao felt the same, though not for the same reason. His mind remained immersed in the Destruction Sword Domain he had just raised to the Ninth Order.
"Qin Hao, congratulations."
In Qin Hao's mind, Lingxiaozi, who had been silent for a long time, chuckled. "You've finally raised your Destruction Sword Domain to the Ninth Order and grasped quite a bit of the Destruction Origin Laws. You've caught up with your Time Doppelganger."
Lingxiaozi paused, then added with a knowing smile, "But that's not all. Your Time Doppelganger is devoting himself to comprehending the Time Laws. It may take less than half a year for him to truly master them."
Qin Hao froze for a moment, then laughed despite himself. Lingxiaozi was hardly offering congratulations. He was showing off.
Lingxiaozi had guided the Time Doppelganger all along, and the Time Doppelganger had also inherited the Time Sword Lord's teachings. Though he had been created only recently, his progress had been remarkable. He had reached a Ninth-Order Domain even before Qin Hao's True Self.
Qin Hao's Time Doppelganger had therefore long since begun studying the Time Origin Law. He had even grasped a considerable portion of it. At his current pace...
Perhaps in two or three months, he would truly master the Time Laws.
But Qin Hao was not bothered.
The Time Doppelganger was, in the end, a doppelganger. So long as Qin Hao's True Self lived, his doppelganger could never replace his True Self. Besides, the stronger his Time Doppelganger grew, the stronger Qin Hao's True Self became.
At a critical moment, Qin Hao could join forces with his Time Doppelganger against an enemy. Their combined strength would multiply.
"Elder Ling, I'll familiarize myself with the Destruction Origin Laws first."
