279: 48 hours of training a day

"Crystal Clone."

After Chen Du heard the System prompt, he silently repeated it.

The moment the word 'Clone' left his mouth, an inexplicable amount of information flooded his mind.

Then, as if he had gone downstairs to throw out some trash but stumbled upon a great Mystic Treasure that others only dreamed of, his pupils suddenly dilated:

"Heaven-Defying!"

"This ability is too Heaven-Defying!"

No sooner had Chen Du finished speaking than he was mercilessly swallowed by the beast tide of the 16th wave of monsters, perishing instantly.

Although he was somewhat excited, Chen Du wasn't so engrossed that he failed to sense the approach of the 16th wave of monsters. The reason he didn't react was twofold.

Firstly, after defeating the 15th wave of Heavenly Books, he had expended a lot of stamina; while he still had some strength, it wasn't much.

Secondly, the Crystal Clone ability required Chen Du to leave the Crystal Space to be triggered!

Qilin Martial Arts University, 10th Martial Arts Room.

Chen Du, lying flat on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, two bright, star-like rays of light flickering in them.

His eyes were like clear springs, containing endless vitality and energy.

At this moment, Chen Du looked refreshed and radiant, as if every cell in his body had been instantly activated, filled with infinite drive and passion.

"Heaven-Defying!"

After waking up, Chen Du repeated this phrase, referring to the Crystal Clone ability.

This ability was indeed related to the Crystal Space, as it could only exist within the Crystal Space.

Furthermore, it was as Chen Du had previously guessed: the great reward after clearing the 15th wave was related to Martial Skills.

Crystal Clone was a passive ability, and it was currently being triggered within the Crystal Space!

At this moment, inside the Crystal Space, "Chen Du" was holding a longsword, fighting against the 16th wave of monsters, the "Violent Sky Crows."

These Violent Sky Crows all possessed a Life Strength of Level 17, along with Martial Skills at Entrance to the Microscopic 1%. The number of Mystic Treasures was unknown, but their power was above that of the pink pig, and their number was still 30.

Because they had wings, they possessed the ability to fly, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

Chen Du's wings could not appear in the Crystal Space, but fortunately, he still had long-range attack methods like Crescent Moon Swordplay.

The Chen Du outside was not yet aware of this information.

The specific ability of the Crystal Clone was that when Chen Du left the Crystal Space, a "Chen Du" would be generated inside.

For convenience, Chen Du called himself "Main Chen Du," and the one generated in the Crystal Space "Vice Chen Du."

This Vice Chen Du, generated after his departure, had a combat power equal to the combat power of Main Chen Du at the moment he fell asleep and entered the Crystal Space.

For example, if Main Chen Du's current combat power was 100, after entering the Crystal Space, Vice Chen Du would completely replicate Main Chen Du's combat power at that moment.

Then, after Main Chen Du left, a Vice Chen Du with a combat power of 100, capable of infinite resurrection, would be generated and continue fighting.

Furthermore, Vice Chen Du was not a mindless being; he possessed a pure heart dedicated to honing Martial Skills, not only capable of triggering the effects of the Zhan Zhan Fruit.

Moreover, his Martial Skill progression speed would be faster than Main Chen Du's. Although both had the same talent, Chen Du was, after all, a living person and could not achieve absolute purity.

But Vice Chen Du could; he could achieve the ultimate absolute purity. This state was comparable to a minor Epiphany, and this state would be permanently preserved in Vice Chen Du!

Although Chen Du had not yet acquired this ability when he cleared the 15th wave, it was triggered immediately upon acquisition.

A Vice Chen Du, with stats equivalent to when he had just entered the Crystal Space, was currently inside, slaying enemies!

The next time Main Chen Du entered the Crystal Space, all of Vice Chen Du's combat insights and information about all the monsters he had fought would be transferred to him.

It was like a one-click collection in an idle game!

However, Vice Chen Du's strength would revert to Main Chen Du's strength at the time of entry.

Simply put, Vice Chen Du would permanently lag behind Main Chen Du by one version.

Chen Du was very excited at this moment, because he usually didn't stay in the Crystal Space for more than 8 hours.

But now, as long as he entered the Crystal Space once a day or periodically after falling asleep, pretending to defend the crystal and dying in battle, he could wake up full of energy and continue training!

During this process, he could also gain combat insights from Vice Chen Du to become stronger, and after he left, the Vice Chen Du inside would continue fighting!

Calculated this way, apart from the negligible time spent entering and exiting the Crystal Space...

Even if Chen Du pushed himself to the limit before, he could only train for 24 hours a day.

Now, it was equivalent to two Chen Dus working together, each training for 24 hours a day.

Combined, that was 48 hours of training in a single day!

The time to take off was directly halved!

...Qilin Martial Arts University, Martial Arts Room No. 107, training ground.

"Reyn, are you really going to assign Chen Du this mission tomorrow?"

"Won't this be too early for Chen Du?"

"As it stands, Chen Du's overall potential can even be said to be the greatest in the history of High Martial Civilization. If he awakens just one more Mystic Treasure, his number of Mystic Treasures will rival Yan's!"

Xie Miao stood quietly by the side of the largest training ground in Martial Arts Room No. 107, respectfully addressing the person in the center.

If one disregarded background and only considered individual talent and opportunity, Yan was in no way inferior to the top Geniuses of those Great Civilizations!

Chen Du's significance was thus obvious!

After a long silence, a short-haired middle-aged man turned around. The Life Strength, or rather, the life aura emanating from him, was less than Level 5, giving off the impression of an ordinary middle-aged uncle.

But Xie Miao knew that this was the mark of a Domain Warrior!

Only at the level of a Domain Warrior could one use their Domain to cover their own life fluctuations, making it impossible for anyone to discern their true depth.

Even Martial Artists with extremely powerful Mental Energy perception could only sense the life fluctuations that the other party chose to release.

Furthermore, if a Domain Warrior completely covered their own life fluctuations with their Domain, Mental Energy perception would be entirely ineffective, as if the opponent were a part of nature.

"You know the true situation of High Martial Civilization, and with Yan's departure, the situation will only become more severe. We don't have time to slowly cultivate Chen Du!"

"We need him to carve out his own path!"

Reyn sighed softly after speaking, his voice containing an undeniable sense of helplessness.

"Let's not talk about this. Have you found Yan's body?"

"Even a single remnant."

Xie Miao shook her head: "No. At the first instance, the other major ecological circles acted together, hoping to give Yan a resting place."

"Not only was Yan not found, but no one ever saw his Divine Sword, heavens favor, either."

After Xie Miao finished speaking, she seemed to guess something and spoke again:

"To be honest, although Yan's body wasn't found, and no one witnessed him being killed, that was because the opponents were five Domain Warriors, and we couldn't get close at all."

"But he ignited the absolutely irreversible Life Ignition Cord at the very first moment; this much is certain."

"I advise you not to hold out any hope..."

After a few seconds of silence, Reyn replied, or perhaps muttered to himself:

"I once heard Yan say that he had a way to live a second life!"

Then he frowned and shook his head:

"Alas, even if what Yan said was true, he was probably torn apart by those three Domain Warriors from the Great Civilizations."

He then looked at Xie Miao again:

"I already know Chen Du's specific situation. You should also start preparing for the upcoming work."

"Re-select five Vice-Principals!"
