610: Perfect Copy and Extra Range

Chen Du already had some guesses about the instantaneous teleportation just now, and with the current Hand of Atim, the Qilin King's First, Third, and Fifth Secret Treasures' abilities were all the same as his own.

It is true that Mystic Treasures can be duplicated, but such an astonishing number of duplications is almost impossible.

The 'almost impossible' here mainly refers to the fact that the opponent not only has to awaken the same Mystic Treasure abilities as you, but also has to meet you in the vast sea of humanity.

With both factors combined, the probability approaches 0.

Soon, Chen Du guessed the Qilin King's Fifth Secret Treasure ability.

It wasn't Promotion, but a very rare ability he had seen recorded in High Martial Civilization, 'Perfect Replication'.

It can perfectly replicate abilities from Mystic Treasures numbering five or less.

The power of a Mystic Treasure increases with its number.

This Perfect Replication initially required contact with the user, but later, as the number of Mystic Treasures increased, it became possible by just seeing the user release the ability, no longer requiring contact.

And the Nine Secret Treasures' Perfect Replication further enhanced this ability; it only required seeing the opponent's star plate.

This means the Qilin King could perfectly replicate his current abilities.

Chen Du deduced that those who awakened Perfect Replication in High Martial Civilization did not possess Nine Secret Treasures based on his recent contact.

He hadn't used the abilities of his Third and Fifth Secret Treasures, so he guessed that the Qilin King only needed to see a star plate to replicate.

As for Perfect Replication under Ten Secret Treasures, Chen Du guessed that simply seeing the opponent would suffice.

At this moment, the Qilin King's Mystic Treasure flashed for the third time, always five Mystic Treasures at once, so this ability was undoubtedly Perfect Replication.

Facing the attack from his own Third Mystic Treasure, Hand of Atim, Chen Du's eyes flashed with solemnity, and he also used Hand of Atim.

He used this derived main body weapon to counter the Qilin King's derived main body weapon.

Pfft!

The main body weapon derived by Chen Du was sliced open before it even touched the main body weapon derived by the Qilin King.

“So that's how it is.”

Chen Du muttered to himself, executing a backward exchange to avoid the Qilin King's next strike.

Through the Hand of Atim's probing just now, Chen Du discovered that the Qilin King's attack range was wider than what was visible to the naked eye.

The tips of his claws, or rather, all parts of his body that could be used for attack, had their attack range increased.

In gaming terms, his range was increased; a normal melee attack range is 1, but the Qilin King's was equivalent to 2 at this moment.

Presumably, this was the opponent's ability at the Sky Soaring Warrior stage, which Chen Du temporarily called 'Extra Range'.

Judging from the Nine Secret Treasures analysis, the opponent was currently only at the 2-star Sky Soaring Warrior stage; as his star Rank increased later, the Qilin King's range would skyrocket, making him like a melee soldier who could continuously launch long-range attacks.

Especially since his Fifth Secret Treasure ability was Perfect Replication, this made his attack patterns even more bizarre and unpredictable.

If it was an opponent encountering him for the first time, they would likely suffer a disadvantage.

This was also why Chen Du's chest was still cut with a gash even though he had initially dodged the opponent's claws; if the distance had been a bit closer, his heart would have been sliced open.

At this moment, Chen Du created some distance; he didn't know if the Qilin King's Extra Range would continue to increase later, so he had to be extra careful.

It was a pity that the Domain's ability was Sealed by the opponent's Ninth Mystic Treasure, otherwise he would definitely be able to see this extra attack range.

Mental Restart!

Chen Du instantly refreshed his body, uploading all damage and consumption as lethal doses.

“Damn it, is this the never-healing effect brought by a River Severing-level Martial Skill…?”

After recovering all his stamina, Chen Du looked at his still bleeding chest and murmured.

Although his body was refreshed and his stamina recovered, the hideous wound still remained.

In other words, the moment Chen Du used Mental Restart to restore 100% status, he immediately started losing blood.

Even Mental Restart could not violate certain rules, such as the never-healing characteristic of River Severing-level Martial Skills.

This wound could only be healed by Mental Restart when Chen Du's Martial Skill level and Life Strength Rank were both greater than or equal to the opponent's.

However, if he defeated the Qilin King, the healing effect here should be restored, and even if not, Crystal Space could restore it.

Chen Du wasn't too worried about this point.

What he needed to worry about now was how to defeat the opponent.

Although he could continuously restart to maintain full status, he only had 7 white bars; after 7 lethal doses accumulated, it would be true damage!

Fortunately, the situation was not unsolvable now.

Chen Du clearly remembered the ability of Perfect Replication.

It would perfectly replicate the opponent's abilities, and 'perfectly' here included side effects!

The opponent was currently in a Promotion state, and judging by his calm demeanor, he was likely using Mode Two, which had a longer duration.

This meant that the opponent would experience weakness after 30 minutes!

And what he needed to do now was to endure!

There was no need for a direct confrontation; he just needed to maneuver, which would also keep his own consumption relatively low.

Although the Domain could not affect the Qilin King, it could affect himself, making him faster.

The opponent was Rank 26 and his Martial Skills were a level higher than his own, but his Mystic Treasures were not as good as his; although overall the Qilin King was stronger, it wasn't an overwhelming kind of strength.

After making up his mind, Chen Du began to slack off frantically!

His main goal was to muddle through as much as possible!

Just like that, a long tug-of-war began between Chen Du and the Qilin King.

He constantly used War Stomp, Hand of God, and Hand of Atim to maneuver against the opponent.

When things got really tough, he would activate Etherealization to dodge.

This was Chen Du's invincible ability, but it consumed too much, so even with Mental Restart, he wouldn't use it lightly. As for Crystal Summon...

Because of Zhang Youren's reminder, Chen Du knew that four days had actually passed, but this ability was still on cooldown and could not be summoned.

24 times the cooldown duration was still a bit long.

Also, his previous guess was correct; the Qilin King's Extra Range indeed increased over time.

Perhaps because it was a two-star ability, the increased distance wasn't much, and no additional abilities were generated.

And the speed of this distance increase began to slow down, which meant it was nearing its limit.

Although he didn't have the assistance of a Domain now, Chen Du's rich combat experience allowed him to judge this invisible Extra Range by feel after this short period of contact.

The Qilin King pursued while Chen Du fled; under this cycle, 25 minutes quickly passed.

The Qilin King, who had been in relentless pursuit, suddenly stopped.
