160: Chapter 160 The Real and Fake Lu Zheng (Part 3)

Fake Lu Zheng realized something.

If he was the fake, then what the real Lu Zheng in front of him said was true.

He hadn't trained Baji Fist to the Third Realm, but was only at the Second Realm Peak...

How was this possible?

Without training to the Third Realm, how could he break through to Tier Three?

Fake Lu Zheng felt a frenzy of unwillingness in his heart, while at this moment, the look in Lu Zheng's eyes as he looked at Fake Lu Zheng clearly showed a sigh of relief, because it seemed this person did not know everything.

Perhaps the matters regarding his Clone and the System had not been exposed.

Standing to the side, City Lord Chang Yingwei saw Cheng Lixuan's strange behavior and also sensed that something was wrong.

"Senior Brother, it seems we've found the fake one."

Lu Zheng slowly said to his Senior Brother, while Senior Brother Cheng Lixuan smiled and nodded, looking at Fake Lu Zheng with an unfriendly gaze.

Previously, as the Senior Brother, he had asked his Junior Brother on the way from Jianghai City to the base which Realm he had trained Baji Fist to, and his Junior Brother's answer at the time was the Second Realm Peak.

At that time, he was also puzzled and had asked about the reason why a Second Realm Peak would possess Tier Three strength.

Later, it was speculated that because his Junior Brother's talent was extraordinary, he was able to possess Tier Three strength at the Second Realm Peak. And most importantly, their master had not yet had the chance to teach his Junior Brother the Cultivation Technique for the Third Realm.

Therefore, his Junior Brother did not yet know the Third Realm Cultivation Technique.

Thus, the result was already obvious: the one who had trained Baji Fist to the Third Realm was the fake.

"Senior Brother, don't believe him."

"I have already broken through to Tier Three now, how could my Baji Fist still remain at the Second Realm?"

However, Senior Brother Cheng Lixuan did not believe Fake Lu Zheng's words and remained unmoved. Seeing this, Fake Lu Zheng could only turn his gaze toward the City Lord.

"City Lord, you must make a decision for me. How could such a situation possibly occur in this world?"

"Senior Brother must have colluded with this Fake Lu Zheng to deceive you."

"I am the real Lu Zheng; he is the fake one."

"You can ask me things that only Lu Zheng knows, and I can answer them all."

Fake Lu Zheng continued, wanting to struggle a bit more. At this point, he couldn't give up; he absolutely couldn't let all his efforts go to waste over a single slip of the tongue.

However, at this moment, City Lord Chang Yingwei was also unsure and did not express his stance, while Lu Zheng had a guess as to why this Fake Lu Zheng before him knew some of his information.

He then asked once more.

"You say you know everything about me, so let me ask you: after I went missing from that great mountain, where did I go?"

Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Fake Lu Zheng became somewhat exasperated.

"I am Lu Zheng! You, the fake one, stop trying to deceive people here."

"Back then, after I got lost in that great mountain, I encountered a giant snake Evolved Beast. This giant snake Evolved Beast kept chasing me, and I had no choice but to hide in a cave. I only dared to come out after that giant snake Evolved Beast left."

Fake Lu Zheng said slowly.

Hearing Fake Lu Zheng's words, Lu Zheng finally felt completely at ease. It seemed this Fake Lu Zheng could disguise himself as Lu Zheng using a Superpower, and through the disguise of this strange ability, he had also obtained some of his memories.

This ability was terrifying; not only could he disguise himself as anyone, but he could also obtain the memories of the person he disguised himself as. This was why the Fake Lu Zheng in front of him also knew things that only he and Guan Hezheng knew.

However, this ability could not peer into the System.

Upon questioning, he knew absolutely nothing about the System and the Clone, and even a completely non-existent false memory had appeared.

It seemed that as long as the information was related to the System, no one could peer into it from his memories.

And in front of him, this person's attribute points appeared before Lu Zheng.

[Human: Tian Zijin] (Evolving)

[Superpower]: Substitute

[Martial Arts]: Baji Fist Third Realm (Initiate)

[Rank]: Tier Three Early Stage

[Combat Power]: 155

All of Tian Zijin's details appeared before Lu Zheng.

The Superpower Substitute was truly a terrifying ability, living up to its name. If the person chosen hadn't been Lu Zheng, he would have been one hundred percent identical to the original host.

He wouldn't be discovered by anyone, achieving a perfect infiltration.

However, Lu Zheng felt that this Superpower probably only mimicked appearance and memory, whereas talent and ability likely couldn't be copied. This meant that he had truly trained Baji Fist to the Third Realm himself.

Setting aside where he obtained the Baji Fist Cultivation Technique, with the talent to train Baji Fist to the Third Realm, why would he bother disguising himself as him? What on earth was it for?

On the other hand, after hearing these words, City Lord Chang Yingwei also showed a hint of curiosity and said to the real Lu Zheng:

"After getting lost in the great mountain, where did you go, and how did you survive in the great mountain for three days?"

"After I got lost, I didn't encounter the giant snake he mentioned, but I knew the surroundings were very dangerous, so I found a place to hide."

"Then how do you explain the bead Guan Hezheng gave you and the torn clothes left behind in the great mountain?"

"City Lord, I threw the clothes away on purpose because my scent on them was too strong, and I accidentally dropped that bead."

Lu Zheng said. Before City Lord Chang Yingwei could speak, Fake Lu Zheng hurriedly spoke up.

"Impossible!"

"Everything you said is false! I did encounter a giant snake, and I only didn't dare to come out because I was trying to avoid that giant snake."

Fake Lu Zheng's expression was somewhat crazed. In the memories of Lu Zheng he had obtained, this scene didn't exist at all; what he had just said was what had happened in his memory.

The person in front of him was not Lu Zheng at all; just like him, this person was a fake.

"City Lord, none of us know what happened in the great mountain, so it doesn't matter what either of them says."

"However, I spoke with my Junior Brother before, and at that time, I learned from his own mouth that his Realm was indeed at the Second Realm Peak."

"Therefore, he is the fake."

Cheng Lixuan pointed at Fake Lu Zheng without hesitation, causing Fake Lu Zheng's expression to panic.

"I am the real one."

"I really am the real one! You all have to believe me."

Fake Lu Zheng wept bitterly. His appearance was Lu Zheng's, and his memories were exactly the same as Lu Zheng's, so he was Lu Zheng.

If he once admitted he was fake, he would only have a path to death.

Therefore, he absolutely could not admit it.

"You said you encountered a giant snake in that great mountain. Do you know what that giant snake looked like?"

Lu Zheng asked. However, Fake Lu Zheng ignored these words and instead looked at the City Lord with a sincere gaze. He knew that the only one who could judge whether he was real was the City Lord in front of him; as long as the City Lord didn't relent, he would still have a chance.

City Lord Chang Yingwei merely said calmly, "Speak. What did that giant snake look like?"

Left with no choice, Fake Lu Zheng could only describe the giant snake from his memory.

After listening, Lu Zheng could be certain that the giant snake he spoke of was his Clone before it had upgraded.

"I have also seen the snake you mentioned."

"But the one I saw was extremely terrifying. I only caught a distant glimpse and was filled with dread; its horrific size blotted out the sky, and I didn't dare to move a muscle."

"It is absolutely much, much stronger than what you described. There is no way you could have survived being hunted by that giant snake."

"Even I feel that the giant snake's strength is greater than the City Lord's."

Lu Zheng said slowly. Fake Lu Zheng immediately acted as if he had caught a flaw and said to the City Lord:

"City Lord, he is the fake one!"

"That snake is not terrifying at all. You can send people to the great mountain to look; that giant snake is right at the periphery of the great mountain, and they will definitely find it."

"This is enough to prove that what I said is true. If I hadn't gone to that great mountain, how could I possibly know all this?"

This time, Fake Lu Zheng looked at Lu Zheng with the demeanor of a victor. His memory couldn't be wrong, so this Fake Lu Zheng in front of him would definitely expose a flaw.

Right after Fake Lu Zheng finished speaking, alarms suddenly blared loudly throughout the entire base.

Exclamations of shock came from the outside.

"A suspected Overlord-class Evolved Beast has appeared at the periphery of the great mountain!"
