It Turned Out the Whole Fight Had Been Against a Shadow Clone

Beneath the sphere of light.

Zheng Zha lay on the ground, panting heavily, while Chu Xuan, beside him, under the white light of the orb, underwent physical repair.

The rest of the Central Continent Team sided with Zheng Zha. They simply couldn't understand why such a hypocritical and ungrateful person could exist in the world.

Despite being teammates who had shared life and death in a Horror Film, Chu Xuan was able to treat his companions like dogs for some personal gain.

Chu Xuan sensed the isolation he faced from the crowd, but he remained completely unmoved, having already obtained the answer he sought.

Zheng Zha struggled to his feet. His physical injuries had long since healed, but the damage to his heart was something the Great Light Sphere could not heal.

He stepped forward and first helped Lori remove her armor, then walked up to Fang Yu and presented the armor to him.

"Thank you, Captain. Without the things you exchanged for me, Lori and I definitely wouldn't have made it back."

"You don't need to thank me." Fang Yu took the armor. "Although I wasn't involved in what Chu Xuan did, I was aware of it."

Zheng Zha shook his head, "You're different. You told me there was danger, you didn't need to tell me at all. Besides, it was Chu Xuan who suggested the test to return to reality, and you never expressed your opinion at the time."

"Besides, if it weren't for your protection of us on A Nightmare on Elm Street on Elm Street, none of us would have survived."

Fang Yu didn't expect Zheng Zha to be so good at self-manipulation, so he didn't say anything more.

In any case, the rift between him and Chu Xuan would be resolved after Chu Xuan died.

When the time comes, he'll be the one who cries the most heartbroken.

Zheng Zha, with Lori in tow, returned to his room, while Chu Xuan pulled out a Green Goblin Glider.

"After these days of polishing, I have modified this Green Goblin Glider. Now its speed can catch up with Fifth Generation Fighter. Considering the special nature of needing Mental Controller, it is also important for outlining the map when encountering large-scale team battles."

Chu Xuan handed over the Green Goblin Glider, saying, "Here you go."

Looking at the flying machine she was about to own, Zhan Lan refused without even thinking, "I don't need it."

But it's not that she doesn't need it; she's simply hurt by Chu Xuan.

Giving Zheng Zha Zheng Zha a dagger almost killed him, so giving him a flying machine would surely send him to heaven!

Chu Xuan continued handing it over, explaining expressionlessly, "This Green Goblin Glider has a built-in miniature nuclear bomb, in case of need."

Zhan Lan didn't hear what Chu Xuan said after that. She crossed her arms with an expression that said she already knew, clearly not intending to accept Chu Xuan's "kindness".

"Take it," Fang Yu said.

Zhan Lan was surprised, but before she could ask, Fang Yu explained, "The Green Goblin Glider was something I got after killing a member of the East Blue Team. In the last film, I gave it to the sage Chu Xuan, who had no combat abilities. Now he should have strengthened himself as well. Compared to you, who is just a support Mental Controller, you are the one who should be protected."

Fang Yu looked at Chu Xuan, "Is that what you mean?"

Chu Xuan nodded.

"Alright, since you've said so, Captain," Zhan Lan could only reluctantly accept this gift.

Chu Xuan transformed into Doraemon and pulled out another item. "This is the Gauss Sniper Rifle that I exchanged with the Main God. I modified it, reducing its caliber and range, and adding a burst-fire function. However, the bullets are quite expensive, so it's best not to use it unless absolutely necessary."

As he spoke, Chu Xuan handed the Gauss rifle to Zhang Jie.

"Me, I got a share too?"

Chu Xuan remained silent, Fang Yu could only advise, "Just take it if it's given to you."

This unexpected turn of events, with two people in the team accepting Chu Xuan's gift, surprised everyone.

It's true that he sabotaged Zheng Zha, and it's also true that he considered the team's interests.

Could it be true that he claims to be emotionless and merely an artificial intelligence?

Before anyone could think further, Chu Xuan said, "Now I need to understand each of your skills and combat abilities, the more detailed the better, even including the exchange of Artificial Human."

"You want to know about Artificial Human?" Zhang Jie immediately took a step back, blocking Na'er's way.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and said, "The Artificial Human is actually a great benefit that the Main God gives to the new reincarnation. You can choose him to be a special forces king, whose human stats are at the peak of humanity. Bringing such a bodyguard into the Reincarnation Space is the greatest help."

"Therefore, I did not choose to strengthen myself too much at the moment, but instead exchanged Gauss Sniper Rifle for my Artificial Human, so that he can provide me with protection from a distance."

Everyone was stunned, unsure how to communicate with Chu Xuan.

Zhang Jie thought for a moment, "Na'er was a well-known TV host in her past life. No, she has no fighting abilities. Don't put her in Horror Film."

Ono Kei quickly added, "My idol is just a movie actor."

Chu Xuan asked around expressionlessly, but the result left him feeling quite helpless.

Apart from the Artificial Human that Fang Yu exchanged for, which has some Combat Power, the rest of the people were all there for various emotional reasons.

Upon hearing that the Artificial Human Fang Yu pulled out of the room was actually the captain of the "old-school" Central Continent Team's breeder, the rest of the Central Continent Team were somewhat horrified.

"No, what do you mean by looking at me like that! Especially you, Ono Kei! What are you thinking!" Fang Yu waved his fist. "Laozi created a hypothetical enemy, not a face exactly like that beast Meng Yao, and secretly released positive energy towards her. Are you all sick in the head?"

Everyone remained silent, but Chu Xuan then asked, "How do you know that you can exchange for an Artificial Human with extremely high Combat Power?"

The Main God Fang Yu's expression was solemn. "I'm warning you! Stop looking at me with that 'Oh, are you a reincarnated person?' kind of questioning. Let me tell you, you're not!"

Chu Xuan nodded. "Understood."

"You know what I mean."

In the dimly lit room, the atmosphere was so heavy it felt almost tangible.

Zhao Yingkong gripped the dagger tightly in her hand, its cold light gleaming in the dim light, reflecting off her sweat-covered face.

Her eyes were fixed on Fang Yu in front of her!

At this moment, Fang Yu was like an insurmountable mountain peak in her eyes, exuding a sense of oppression that made people feel desperate!

Whether it's the explosive reaction speed, the steel-like physical strength, the keen insight into the battle situation and the combat intelligence to anticipate the enemy's moves, or even the dazzling and complex application of his abilities, Zhao Yingkong was completely suppressed by Fang Yu on every level, utterly powerless to fight back.

It's like the investigator in the movie falling into the hands of the mob.

And this was merely a glimpse of Fang Yu's strength that he had casually displayed.

Zhao Yingkong that if Fang Yu went all out, she didn't know if she could even withstand a move or two from him. She might be instantly killed and become cannon fodder.

It's important to understand that she's no longer an unknown figure. The activation of the Second Order Genetic Lock has given her physical attributes and perception a qualitative leap. Coupled with the unique agility and explosive power granted by the Shining Enhancement, and the Netherflame Fang dagger that has miraculous effects on spirit creatures, she is armed to the teeth.

Moreover, she had grown up amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood since childhood, experiencing countless life-and-death battles and assassinating so many people that they could line up and surround a shopping mall. Her resume was built with blood and lives.

Even so, in front of Fang Yu, she was like an ant trying to shake a tree; all her skills were rendered useless, and she had virtually no chance to resist.

Zhao Yingkong gritted her teeth, almost breaking them. She took a deep breath, trying to dispel the fear and helplessness in her heart, and mustered her courage again, rushing towards Fang Yu like an arrow released from a bow.

That resolute posture was as if he were heading to a battlefield from which there was no return!

However, she had just taken a step and hadn't even gotten close when suddenly her gaze caught something unusual in Fang Yu's eyes!

His originally black pupils turned bright red in an instant!

That dazzling red, like a burning flame, yet it also exudes a mysterious and unfathomable depth that makes one's heart tremble!

This was definitely not the Sharingan pupil she was familiar with; it was clearly a completely new ability she had never seen before!

With just one glance, Zhao Yingkong felt an invisible force sweep over her like a surging tide, impacting her consciousness and plunging her mind into chaos!

The dagger she was holding fell to the ground with a clatter, and her body began to tremble violently as if she were enveloped by a chilling abyss!

This Shocker scene lasted for more than ten seconds, each second feeling like an eternity to Zhao Yingkong.

When she finally regained some of her senses and regained control of her body, she couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

In this ever-changing, life-or-death battle, a moment's hesitation or loss of control could completely alter the course of the battle and lead to drastically different outcomes.

In those full ten seconds, if Fang Yu had harbored murderous intent and wanted to take her life, it would have been incredibly easy.

Even a standing stick could be inserted into her body several times, let alone simply killing her.

"What is that?" Zhao Yingkong forced herself to remain calm, bent down to pick up the dagger, wiped the sweat rolling down her forehead, stared intently at Fang Yu, and asked with a trembling voice and a hint of resentment.

"Take off your breast wrap and I'll tell you."

"Damn it!" Upon hearing Zhao Yingkong's eyes instantly ignited with raging anger, like a powder keg that had been lit. Without saying another word, she brandished her dagger again and pounced on Fang Yu recklessly!

Amidst the clanging and clattering of bells, Zhao Yingkong and Fang Yu, wielding a feather, engaged in a back-and-forth exchange.

Zhao Yingkong moved with agility, her dagger darting like a venomous snake, repeatedly and fiercely stabbing at Fang Yu. Fang Yu, who was fighting against her, held a light feather tightly in his hand. It seemed weak and powerless, but with his swing, it transformed into a series of sharp gusts of wind. Every time it collided with the dagger, it sparked dazzling sparks.

For a time, the two fought fiercely, evenly matched, with each side exchanging blows.

Zhao Yingkong struggled to defend herself while wondering what was going on.

She keenly sensed that Fang Yu's abilities seemed to have diminished somewhat compared to before.

Although it was still tricky, requiring her to exert all her strength for every attack and defense, the oppressive feeling was significantly less than the overwhelming power that seemed capable of crushing everything just now. This change left her completely baffled.

Just as the battle reached a stalemate, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

The once empty and cold Training Ground was manipulated by a mysterious force, and in the blink of an eye, it underwent a dramatic change.

The brick walls quickly crumbled, replaced by mottled, yellowed old wallpaper; the cold, hard floor transformed into wooden flooring bearing the marks of time; and the strong overhead light became soft and dim. In an instant, the entire space was transformed into a cozy, old, and dilapidated room full of life.

Zhao Yingkong looked around in astonishment and found that she was now at the corner of the shoe rack by the door. Not far ahead, a slightly worn table had appeared out of nowhere, filled with home-cooked dishes. The steaming food emitted an enticing aroma, adding a touch of warmth and humanity to this unfamiliar scene.

A soft creak broke the brief silence.

Another Fang Yu slowly pushed open the kitchen door on one side. He had a smile on his face and steadily held a plate of tempting Stir-fried Yellow Beef in his hands.

The tender beef paired with bright green bell peppers, steaming hot, makes one's mouth water.

Fang Yu looked up and greeted Zhao Yingkong with a gentle gaze, "Let's eat first. You go back now."

Another Fang Yu frowned, "Hey! I'll do the hard labor, but you're not calling me for meals?"

"Look at what you're saying! Cooking is no easier than fighting! Besides, it's just a fight with Zhao Yingkong. Don't you know how much of a perk you'll get?"

"Tch, I'm not going to argue with you!"

Having said that, the "Fang Yu" who had just fought Zhao Yingkong clasped his hands together, and with a "bang," he turned into white smoke and disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Yingkong finally realized what was happening!

The one who just fought her to a standstill was actually Fang Yu's Shadow Clone.
