Thatâs right, after all, he had taken half of my bodyâs power and condensed it.
Xu Xiaoshou found the sudden appearance of his other self weird and confusing. After a long time, he said, âYou, what do you know?â
âWhatever you know, I do too.â The second true body said with a smile.
âHow much?â
â100%.â
âAny passive skills?â
âI have.â
âThinking?â
âIf I want to, I can think.â
Xu Xiaoshou felt a sense of horror for no reason. It was the fear of the unknown and what he could not control. He immediately asked, âThen whatâs the difference between you and me?â
âThereâs the biggest difference. Youâre the true body and Iâm the second true body.â The mirror image clone of Xu Xiaoshou said.
âThe second true bodyâŠâ Xu Xiaoshou pondered. âItâs not a clone, nor a Demi-saintâs incarnation, but a second true body. It inherited all my abilities, not only my combat abilities, but also my thoughts. Itâs like another me.â
Then, what if it yearned for freedom?
âI have a question.â Xu Xiaoshou raised his head and asked. His eyes were cold and terrifying.
âPlease speak.â The second true body was very polite, as if it had not noticed anything.
âAfter all, Iâm the only one and youâre the second. You and I are not equal. Is that right?â
âYes, thatâs right.â
âIf thatâs the case, then itâs not a matter of there being two tigers on one mountain, but a matter of ruler and subject, right?â
Without waiting for the second true body to reply, Xu Xiaoshou continued, âSince itâs a discussion between the ruler and his subject, then if the ruler wanted his subject to die, what should the next sentence be?â
The second true bodyâs face stiffened, as if he had understood something. His lips suddenly turned white, and he said hesitantly, âI⊠I am a commoner?â
You brat really have some of my style!
Xu Xiaoshou almost spat out blood.
He did not hesitate and directly hurled Hidden Bitter at him, like a judge who had issued an Imperial Decree. Then he said indifferently, âKill yourself!â
âSir. Please spare meâŠâ The second true body knelt on the ground with a thud, and his hand inadvertently touched Hidden Bitter, who suddenly became so excited that he wriggled non-stop.
âI know what youâre thinking, but thereâs no need for that. If you want me to die, just one thought from you will do. You said it yourself, youâre the only one, and Iâm the second. I wonât go against your will. The second true body trembled as it placed Hidden Bitter across its neck. It seemed it could not disobey Xu Xiaoshouâs orders.
âWhoosh, whoosh, whooshâŠâ
Hidden Bitterâs sword body twisted wildly. It seemed to kick the air with its feet and aimed for its ownerâs artery with its sharpest side â this seemed to be its dream.
Xu Xiaoshou looked at the scene coldly like a god from the clouds. He said indifferently, âIâm sorry, but I have to test an idea, so you have to die once.â
The second true body teared up, and it tried its best to swerve backward to avoid the blade, but unintentionally, it drew closer and closer to Hidden Bitter.
He said sorrowfully, âEven so, you can just blow me up. Why do you have to let this broken sword taste the sweetness? You canât let it activate this Owner devouring ring!â
âWhen a person is about to die, his words are also kind.â Xu Xiaoshou nodded, as he acknowledged the second true bodyâs last words. He retracted Hidden Bitter despite its resistance and indicated with his eyes, âThen you can die now. Blow yourself up!â
BOOM!
Blood and flesh scattered everywhere, the air currents surged, and the second true body died on the spot.
âD*mn!!!â
At the same time, Xu Xiaoshou was in so much pain that he curled up like a shrimp, held his head and smacked it against the ground.
The so-called second true body was, after all, half of his body. When it died, its physical body, spirit, and soul were also destroyed.
This was akin to Xu Xiaoshou cutting himself in half. How could it not hurt?
When he faced Jiang Buyi before and had to cut off one of his arms to survive, he was in so much pain â not only the physical pain, but also the pain when he had to cut off his own arm!
This feeling was such that you could bear to be cut by the enemyâs knife, but you couldnât get over it psychologically if you had to hurt yourself.
However, this experiment also allowed Xu Xiaoshou to confirm the definition of a âsecond true bodyâ.
âThe second true body can perfectly copy all the abilities of the main body, passive skills included. It also contained another âselfâ. In addition to being controlled by the âselfâ, it had its own âspiritual intelligenceâ.â
âBut it will not transcend my âselfâ or even harm my âselfâ, because it must accept the orders of my âselfâ, or in other words, me.â
Therefore, it will not become another âmeâ but a âtoolâ, a perfect tool!
Xu Xiaoshou took a long time to recover from the pain.
After he understood the true meaning of the âsecond true bodyâ, the pleasure he felt was more than the comfort he felt after the pain.
âSince it canât become another âmeâ, then the âsecond true bodyâ is undoubtedly a divine skill!â
âIf I had this second true body in the Spirit Gem Trade Fair, I might not even need to ask Bazhunâan for help. If thereâs a second true body in the Yunlun Mountain Range, Xu Xiaoqi need not even make an appearance.â
âEven when I face the Demi-Saint Jiang Buyi, I do not need to cut off one of my arms. I could use my second true body to simulate a more realistic death. I could play with the old Demi-Saint and even trick him again. After all, I am not afraid of death. Only my second true body would die.â
âWhatâs more, in the future, Young Master Xu, Xu Deye, the Demi-Saint descendant of the Taixiang Xu family in the Northern Region. will be able to confront Saint Servant Xu Xiaoshou at the same time. From the previous concealment to the present ability to create something out of nothingâŠThe Xu family of the Northern Region, grow bigger and stronger!â
