My Special Ability is Perfect Replication

Chapter 239: Super Metamorphosis, Anti-Aging

Leoux directed the Leoux and left while Ling Jiu and Bai Ya stayed at Whitehole-2.

When the two came to the surface of the planet, they saw an endless forest, rising mist, and the rivers flowing in between.

The entire planet looked as if it were a fairyland, surrounded by clouds and mist, extremely beautiful. Yet it was also as if a barbaric era, full of terrifying beast roars.

“My dear, this planet is dangerous. We must be careful,” Ling Jiu said. “Stellar life form abounds. We would be done for, if we are not careful.”

“OK.” Bai Ya nodded.

“Let’s go to the ground.”

The two flew through the forest towards the ground. It took them a while before they landed on the ground.

The plants here were incredibly tall, roughly thousands of meters. Their trunks were also incredibly large di. What were towering trees?

These were the real towering trees.

There were also clumps of shrubs, two- or three-meter-tall weeds, and a thick layer of dead branches and leaves on the ground, which could ensnare people like traps.

There was not even a spot for them to step on. But that was not a problem for Ling Jiu. He sent a fire to burn and clear out a place.

After that, he released the airship and started practicing.

Ling Jiu and Bai Ya both made duplicates of themselves—ten of his and three of hers—to improve their self-cultivation efficiency.

After breaking through Level-9, Bai Ya could make six duplicates of herself—three were on Mars and now only three could be made here.

The two of them sat in the airship, continuously ingesting the dark bio-energy in the air.

Time passed, and it was ten days later.

Ling Jiu opened his eyes, and a ray of light flashed in his eyes. After absorbing the rich dark bio-energy and exhausting a dark psionic crystal, he made the breakthrough and became a Level-8 arcanist.

“Level-Eight arcanists have more superb control over arcanas, and the Arcana Field is more powerful with a five-kilometer effective range.”

“The most important thing is, in the Arcana Field, arcanists can achieve elementalization: gathering to form a body, and disintegrating to become elements.”

With a thought, Ling Jiu transformed into a fireman, and from a fireman, he transformed into a water man, a wooden man, an earth man, and a metal man.

He could switch between the five elements at will, with no hindrance, incredibly smooth.

At last, he transformed back into his original form.

“There is also a field’s buff bonus, which has also been increased from 10 to 20 times. In terms of arcana cultivation base, my current level of strength is also pretty impressive. It is a pity that I still have a long way to go compared with a stellar life form. So I will have to keep practicing. But before this, I have to replicate the next arcana. My Arcana Replication is active again.”

With this in mind, Ling Jiu slowly got to his feet. He got out of the airship quietly and left Bai Ya to it and as she was still practicing.

A thought came to mind as he looked at the lush forest.

Leoux said that there is no intelligent life on this planet, but the creatures here are still very dangerous. Since stellar and galactic life forms are everywhere, there should be an abundance of powerful arcanas, I guess?

While thinking, he took out a life detector. “Huh? A Class-Nine direbeast is five kilometers away from me in this direction. Let’s check it out.”

5 kilometers was nothing to Ling Jiu as he was a Level-8 arcanist now. His Arcana Field had a 5-km range.

He performed a Blink Arcana and instantly came to 5 kilometers away and saw that Class-9 direbeast.

That direbeast looked like a cheetah, with well-proportioned lines and superb muscles. But its body seemed to be of cast metal, full of metallic texture.

It was also like a metal cheetah.

It was really amazing.

Ling Jiu hid in the dimensional ocean and quietly studied this direbeast from a distance.

Name: Unknown

Species: Shadow Leopard

Arcanas: Metallization (awakened, replicable), Ghost Flash (awakened, replicable), Super Physique (awakened, replicable).

“What is Ghost Flash arcana?” Ling Jiu frowned.

He was hearing about this arcana for the first time. It was strange to him. He would have to do something if he wanted to figure out what it was.

He revealed himself with this thinking in mind. The Shadow Leopard had a sharp nose and immediately discovered his presence. He saw a pair of icy eyes stare at him with a deep low roar. The warning was self-evident.

But Ling Jiu ignored the threat and threw a punch at it.

The Shadow Leopard lunged into the air and swiftly dodged his attack.

The next moment, it vanished on the spot. When it reappeared, it was in front, striking its sharp claws at him.

“Is this a Blink Arcana?”

Ling Jiu raised his brows. He was no slouch, either.

“Shinratensei!”

A terrifying, repulsive force burst out of him, sending the Shadow Leopard flying out backward.

Still not giving up, the Shadow Leopard pounced back at him.

What happened next was self-evident. A head-to-head battle ensued as he put himself on a handicap.

A few minutes later, he finally figured out what Ghost Flash was all about. It was a type of Blink Arcana with very huge limitations.

One could only perform Ghost Flash to move forward, unlike his Blink Arcana, which was multidirectional.

After figuring this out, he lost interest in it and swallowed the Shadow Leopard in just one bite, then took out the life detector and looked for another direbeast.

“This way. There is a Class-Ten direbeast seven kilometers away.”

After two consecutive teleports, Ling Jiu saw that Class-10 direbeast after performing a Blink Arcana twice.

This was a giant red snake, over 100-meter long, its body covered with giant scales with red metallic luster.

The most striking thing was, there was a red, bloated, and evil-looking lump growing on the top of its head, as if a cockscomb.

“Is this a Cockscomb Snake?”

Ling Jiu studied its arcanas.

Name: Unknown.

Species: Flaming Cockscomb Serpent

Arcanas: Ultrasound (awakened, replicable), Super Speed (awakened, replicable), Super Venom (awakened, replicable).

“Garbage arcanas!”

Ling Jiu shook his head and performed a Blink Arcana to appear in front of the Flaming Cockscomb Serpent, smashing its head with a punch before he swallowed it.

“There is a Class-Nine direbeast three kilometers away.”

He moved around, looking for suitable arcanas just like that.

As Leoux said, the direbeasts on this planet were powerful, and Class-7 and -8 direbeasts were at the lowest end of the food chain.

Besides, every direbeast possessed at least two arcanas.

But none of the arcanas looked good enough in Ling Jiu’s eyes.

A day had passed since. Just as Ling Jiu planned to find a not-too-bad arcana and call it a day, he saw another monster.

This monster was magical; the detector had detected it, but he could not see it.

At last, he figured out that the monster had transformed into a bush and hid quietly under his nose. No wonder he could not find it.

Name: Unknown

Species: Mud Beast

Arcanas: Super Metamorphosis (awakened, replicable), Super Venom (awakened, replicable), Anti-Aging (awakened, replicable)

“Super Metamorphosis?” Ling Jiu’s eyes brightened up. “This arcana sounds pretty good. Hmm, I wonder which one is better: the metamorphosis arcana of the Devil Girl or this one. The Anti-Aging arcana sounds impressive, too. I can already see Bai Ya, Ling-er, and Mom will love this arcana. Maybe I should first replicate Super Metamorphosis, only then Anti-Aging.”

Ling Jiu decided to replicate Super Metamorphosis with this thinking in mind. After undergoing a painful moment, he had installed the Super Metamorphosis as he wished.

He figured out how this Super Metamorphosis worked after a brief study.

The Mud Beast could change the structure of its cells and tissues at will. This gave it the ability to change into the appearance of any object, including size, strength, iris, skin, and sound.

It was almost a kaleidoscope.

But this ability was not omnipotent.

No matter what thing it could change into, it could not change its mass. The greater the gap between the target object and the body in mass, the more difficult it was to metamorphose.

If the mass difference was too huge, it could cause death.

“It still has limitations, no matter how impressive this arcana is.”

Ling Jiu nodded. “But having limitations is entirely normal. There is no one perfect arcana in this world.”

“Change!”

Ling Jiu looked at a bush in the distance and then felt a drastic change in his body. A few seconds later, he became that bush.

He looked at himself and then at that bush in the distance; they were exactly the same.

“Amazing!” Ling Jiu was so excited and wanted more.

“Change!”

He changed into Bai Ya, having an hourglass figure, and perfect body lines. They were cast from the same mold.

“Change!”

This time, he became Leoux.

“Change!”

Ling Jiu was like a naughty child who had gotten his hands on his beloved toy, incessantly experimenting with it. action

When he watched the movie Journey to the West in his previous life, he was envious of Monkey King’s 72 Earthly Transformations.

Now, his dream had come true.

“I have not just seventy-two but limitless changes. I can change into whatever I want. Awesome!”

After experimenting it for a while, he left a dimensional mark on the Mud Beast and left.

Once back to the airship, Ling Jiu saw something that made his hackles rise.

A 100-meter-tall gorilla with solid scales glinting in metallic luster all over its body was fiddling with the airship.

An airship the size of a bus looked as if a toy in the gorilla’s hand.

If it were not a Stellar-class airship with incredible sturdiness, it would not have withstood the gorilla’s abuse.

“Get the hell out of here!”

Ling Jiu hissed and transformed into a 5-meter-tall giant in the blink of an eye. He performed a Blink Arcana, appeared in front of the gorilla and gave it a good kicking.

The gorilla did not see it coming and was sent flying out backward, crushing into several giant trees before it came to a halt.

It roared and glared at Ling Jiu with a brutal and bloodthirsty look in the eyes that were larger than a taxi.
