It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future (WN)

Chapter 1215 Duplication!

“Immortal Bird, you’ve come. Now, come here obediently like the dog you are and let me chop your neck.” Duke Allomone mocked as he slashed his sword at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao moved his mecha and somersaulted backward to evade the blade.

Allomone kept his sword and sneered. “You don’t dare to fight me head-on? Aren’t you the number one god-class operator of the Federation?”

Ling Xiao furled his twelve wings back into his mecha. He reached behind him and took out his sword. He twirled the huge sword and said coldly, “Please.”

Allomone narrowed his eyes in anger. The way Ling Xiao twirled his sword was similar to what he did. This was blanket provocation to him.

He raised his giant sword slowly. This movement seemed simple but behind the movement, his mecha’s arm was vibrating at a breakneck pace. The vibration from his arm moved towards his sword, turning his sword into a meat grinder. This was one of Allomone’s ultimate sword techniques, Vibration of Death.

If his enemy didn’t notice anything and tried to receive the sword attack, he would be injured by the vibration within the sword. The mecha would be injured and his opponent’s sword would shatter.

Ling Xiao smiled as he raised his sword in the same way.

Both their actions were the same which caught the attention of the spectating soldiers from the Federation.

“Are they going to have a close combat battle?” The soldiers were stunned. In their minds, their general had always used Divine Punishment to defeat his opponents through kiting and harrassing. They had never seen him engaging in close combat before.

Ling Xiao was known to have flawless operating skills but most soldiers felt that he was much more adept in long-range techniques rather than close combat techniques. The person who was able to utilize Divine Punishment to its fullest potential was Ling Xiao.

“Duke Allomone is one of the most powerful close combat mecha operators of Caesar. Will the general be alright?” Some soldiers started worrying. They were confident about their general’s long-range techniques because they had seen it in action before but Ling Xiao never had displayed his close combat techniques before them. Hence, they were worried about him.

“Why don’t you look at the technique the general is using.” An experienced soldier was able to notice the minute details of the ongoing battle better than the younger soldiers, so he decided to teach the younger soldiers.

“Technique? Isn’t he just doing the same action as his opponent? Is he using one of his techniques?” Someone was puzzled. Not everyone was able to see the secret of the movement.

“What is it? Tell me…” A lot of people couldn’t see through the movement. Hence, they gathered around the experienced soldier in hopes that he would give them an answer.

“Who knows what techniques the general has?” The experienced soldier felt speechless. Most battles between god-class operators were done in secret. Not many people had the chance to watch it. Most people felt that Ling Xiao’s long-range techniques were more powerful because he used Divine Punishment when he came back alive many years ago.

“Tsk!” Everyone glared at the experienced soldier. They had high hopes for him but his answer was disappointing.

The experienced soldier quickly continued, “I don’t know what his techniques are but I remember the general’s powerful innate talent.”

“Innate talent?”

“Duplication!”

Everyone thought about the same thing and shouted in unplanned unison.

They looked at the screen again. When they saw the same movements from the two mechas, they felt excited. They had full respect for Ling Xiao. It was rumoured that General Ling Xiao was able to duplicate any techniques he saw. It meant that he could duplicate the technique of the other god-class operator, right?

While the soldiers were gushing over Ling Xiao’s prowess, Allomone slashed his sword at Ling Xiao. He had finished congregating the vibrations in his sword.

Ling Xiao struck his sword at Allomone too.

Bang! The two swords collided. Allomone suddenly felt a huge force creeping up to his shoulders.

The two mechas flew back for a few metres. Both the huge swords were wobbling in their hands.

“That’s impossible. How could it be Vibration of Death!” Allomone looked at Ling Xiao with a dumbfounded look. The techniques of every god-class mecha master were all distinct in their own way. Even if they thought of the same technique, the application of the technique was different for every mecha operator. For instance, many people might have similar techniques like his Vibration of Death but the way they used it was different from him. Hence, you could say that the techniques of every god-class mecha master were unique.

He had sparred with many god-class operators from many different nations but had never met someone who had the same technique as him. He felt that his opponent had dug his brain out to replicate the technique perfectly. This made him quite flabbergasted and nervous.

However, despite his initial nervousness, Allomone regained his senses quickly. He was unwilling to accept the fact that Ling Xiao had copied his technique. He wanted to try again, so he took out another sword from behind him.

As an advent pursuer towards the pinnacle of close combat, Allomone never just carried one sword with him. Many of his real battle techniques required him to combine the two swords together. The battle technique was known as Death Whirlpool.

Allomone placed his hands together and combined the handles of the two swords. He turned it into an even bigger sword where both ends were blades. He grabbed the middle of the sword and started spinning it, and a whirlpool quickly formed around him. Energy started congregating in the whirlpool.

The mecha operators around him felt a huge sense of crisis. All the mecha operators, whether they were from the Federation or Twilight, stopped their fights and moved away from the two god-class mecha masters. They moved as far away as they could. They knew that once they got hit by the god-class mecha masters, they would most probably be dead.

Ling Xiao repeated whatever Allomone was doing.

(Belief] carried many things on it to accommodate its master’s innate talent. There were two giant swords behind him as well as two thin lightsabers at the side. There were also two giant long-range beam guns strapped to its side. Two beam handguns were placed near his waist. A few high-frequency blades were stuck on the thighs of (Belief). It was loaded with weapons.

Ling Xiao moved as quickly as Allomone. In the eyes of the bystanders, both of them were moving simultaneously. While Allomone finished combining the two swords, Ling Xiao had finished combining his too. As Allomone spun his sword, Ling Xiao started spinning his too.
