Chapter 10 The Ability to Transform into a Clone.
Is this the "Erudite One"?
Looking at the enormous mechanical head before him, Mu Chen was somewhat incredulous. This martial soul, on the surface, seemed unremarkable, even resembling a discarded machine.
Yet, this very martial soul possessed innate level 20 soul power. In the end, Mu Chen could only attribute it to a mutated martial soul; only a mutated martial soul could explain this situation.
"Black Tower, you must remember this!"
"Never mention the innate level 20 to anyone. If anyone asks, say you ate some rare and precious treasures when you were young, causing a benign mutation in your martial soul. Otherwise, it might attract some ill-intentioned people."
Mu Chen's expression was extremely solemn. Because of his high position, he had witnessed many power struggles over the years, and even participated in some.
Therefore, he completely understood how jealous some people were of geniuses, and might even take extreme actions.
Moreover, if those powerful forces knew about Black Tower's situation, things would become even more difficult. Although he, Mu Chen, was a Saint Craftsman, there was still a considerable gap between him and those demigod-level powerhouses.
"I understand." Black Tower now understood that if he didn't want to get involved in those struggles, he had to hide himself appropriately.
He would wait for the right moment to make a stunning debut!
Mu Chen nodded, but when his gaze shifted to Bo Shi Zun again, he immediately noticed there were no spirit rings on him.
"I'll have some time in a couple of days, I'll go with you to the Spirit Pagoda to buy two spirit spirits! After all, she's my daughter, Mu Chen's daughter, we can't buy cheap stuff!"
"Then... thank you, Uncle?"
"If you call me 'Dad' like Xiao Xi does, I'll be very happy."
"Aren't you pushing your luck, Uncle?"
Looking at Black Tower's current state, Mu Chen knew that his wife's methods were still effective; she had won over this little girl in no time!
Black Tower, seeing Mu Chen's expression, simply let out a disdainful "humph!"
Although his attitude was still not very good, at least the relationship had improved, which could be considered a gain.
But that alone wasn't enough!
"System, how can I increase the number of my clones and enhance the power I can use?"
Inside the Black Tower's body, Yao Lan was communicating with his system. His understanding of the abilities was still in its early stages; to improve his strength, he needed more power.
"Host, the system is currently adjusting the distribution of power according to the world's strength, and cannot increase the number of clones at the moment. However, you can turn other people into your clones by injecting the power of the Star God."
"Turn others into clones? Is that even possible?"
"It is possible, but you must be careful, not everyone can become a clone. To turn them into clones, you must use the power of the Star God, but the Star God's power is too strong for the people of this world."
"In other words, in this world, only beings who have reached the level of gods can barely withstand the power of the Star God and become your clones, and they cannot resist during the process."
"Is this ability even useful?"
Yao Lan was speechless. The system's explanation was practically meaningless!
Only those who have reached the level of gods can become clones, and they cannot resist—meaning it has to be voluntary? How could that be!
Those who come into contact with god-level beings are mostly level 99 Limit Douluo, plus Battle Armor Masters. To turn them into clones without their resistance is virtually impossible.
"My current power is incomplete. Although I received the Star God's power, my level is only level 25, the same as Black Tower's. How could I possibly defeat a Title Douluo? Especially one at the god level? This is simply..."
"Wait!"
Her previously angry tone abruptly stopped. Yao Lan seemed to have thought of something and asked, "System, I have a question. If someone was once god-level, but their strength declined for some reason, or they were even injured, and their power is incomplete..."
"Could such a being serve as my clone?"
A silver-white figure appeared in Yao Lan's mind. Of all the conditions the system had mentioned, she was the only one who met them in the early stages of Legend of the Dragon King. If this condition could be met, Yao Lan would have an unparalleled trump card.
"Of course."
The system's voice was still emotionless, but Yao Lan was overjoyed upon hearing it. In that case, the goal was set!
"What about the power of the Star God?"
Although the clone ability was interesting, the power of the Star God was the foundation. Yao Lan needed to obtain more of the Star God's power.
"Host, you currently have three powers at your disposal: the Hunting and Abundance powers on your main body, and the Wisdom Star God, the Broad Knowledge Lord, on your clone, the Black Tower."
"The Broad Knowledge Lord has already become the Black Tower's martial soul and cannot be adjusted. However, the Hunting and Abundance powers on your main body can be adjusted. After all, the host can use the powers of three Star Gods, but it wasn't explicitly stated which three."
"As long as it doesn't form a clone, your main body can change the Star God's power."
"Hiss—! Why didn't you say something so important sooner?"
Since the Star God's power can be adjusted, Yao Lan's options have increased significantly.
Because of Abundance's characteristics, Yao Lan rarely changes it; the reason is simple: it can save her life. As for Hunting, Yao Lan initially only thought it was powerful enough to counterattack when needed.
But now, several days have passed, and Yao Lan hasn't encountered a single battle. After all, in the current timeline, Soul Beasts are extremely rare, and she has become the daughter of the Saint Craftsman Mu Chen; life-or-death battles will likely become even rarer.
"So, at that time, I'll replace Hunting with Immortal and turn it into a clone!"
Immortal Star God, Dragon.
One of the oldest Star Gods, considered the ancestor of all dragon descendants!
Dragons are extremely powerful creatures in any world, including the Douluo World, where the current era is even called "Legend of the Dragon King," highlighting their unique nature. The Immortal Star God Dragon is clearly a higher-level existence than this world, a dragon race at the conceptual level. If its power were injected into a dragon descendant, it would undoubtedly create an incredibly powerful clone!
"Hmph... Hahahaha!"
Thinking of this, Yao Lan couldn't help but laugh, even the Black Tower clone outside laughed, though it stopped shortly.
"System, I just accidentally switched to the power of pleasure, right?"
"Host, no. You just suddenly went crazy."
"Why don't you know how to deal with people, System?"
"First of all, the System is not human and doesn't need to learn how to deal with people. Secondly, the System doesn't lie; you just suddenly went crazy."
"You're really honest..."
High EQ: You're really honest.
Low EQ: Your intelligence is low.
