#162 - Chapter 162: The Mutation of the Clone

"So, the Clone Technique isn't just about changing the appearance of a human form, it can actually transform into any form I want. This is amazing!" Realizing what was happening, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

He then squatted down and gently picked up the small ant clone, feeling it in his hand. He found that its exoskeleton still felt hard. Overall, it felt quite tactile. If you didn't examine it carefully, you really wouldn't notice many clues.

"This makes the clone's concealment even stronger, especially in this world outside the boundary where disasters are everywhere. Its safety is also increased!"

Seeing this, Shen Xingyan nodded in satisfaction.

Having summoned the clone into the real world for the first time, he subconsciously wanted to check the clone's attributes.

But this was the real world. Unlike the Star Origin World, there was no function to view attributes, so he could only suppress this thought.

"I wonder if the clone's attributes will be affected after it shrinks!" After the surprise, Shen Xingyan experimentally made the small ant walk away at full speed, wanting to see if its attributes were affected by its size.

The ant clone, upon receiving Shen Xingyan's command, immediately exhibited a speed completely disproportionate to its size. The tiny body almost instantly disappeared from Shen Xingyan's sight.

Through the observation from the dual perspective, Shen Xingyan also discovered that the clone's movement speed was almost the same as his own speed of 10.

This also confirmed to him that the clone's appearance would not affect the display of its physical attributes, so he was relieved.

With this discovery, Shen Xingyan let the clone freely explore the surrounding environment, while he returned to the safe zone, entered his tent, and began to practice his 'Force of Equilibrium' while observing through the dual perspective.

At this time, whether in the central area or the northern area, the trial students were all curious about their surroundings because they had just arrived.

Coupled with the temptation of the mysterious final reward, except for some safe zone personnel and individual life profession practitioners, everyone else poured out, making the entire safe zone seem particularly deserted.

And among this already small remaining population, there were even fewer people like Shen Xingyan who directly started practicing in their tents.

At this moment, although Shen Xingyan was in a state of cultivation, his mind was focused on the ant clone.

With a wisp of consciousness injected, he could easily control its actions, and with the visual feedback in his mind, it felt as if he was galloping freely in the world outside the boundary.

More than an hour later, Shen Xingyan's 'Force of Equilibrium' had increased to 45%. At the same time, his clone, which was exploring the surrounding environment, had not gained any additional gains, which made the main body, who was cultivating, shake his head involuntarily.

"It seems that this area has been cleaned up pretty well. There's nothing good that catches my eye. I did see a lot of disasters that were explained in books, but unfortunately, the clone's strength isn't enough, otherwise I would have killed them all!"

Shen Xingyan thought to himself, originally thinking that the next period would pass peacefully like this, but at this time, the ant clone on the other side encountered a problem that was neither too big nor too small.

Standing in front of the clone was a frog that was huge relative to the ant clone. Looking at it from the ant's perspective, Shen Xingyan could describe it as an earth-shattering frog.

That imposing feeling had a sense of visual déjà vu of a Frog God.

However, Shen Xingyan, who was very clear about its attribute levels, was not afraid at all.

According to the information, the highest agility attribute of such a 'Frog God' was only about 8 to 9 points, not to mention other attributes.

For the ant clone with all attributes at 10 points, it would not suffer any damage even if it withstood the opponent's full attack.

After discovering the ant clone, the 'Frog God' quickly stretched out its 'huge' tongue without any hesitation and swallowed the ant clone into its belly in an instant.

Not only was Shen Xingyan not flustered when he noticed this situation, but he even appreciatively admired the scene inside the frog's stomach with great interest.

Looking at it from the ant's perspective, it could be described as magnificent. The internal organs, which should have been a dark mass, faintly presented the entire internal outline in front of Shen Xingyan's eyes because it had eaten some self-luminous things.

It also broadened Shen Xingyan's knowledge. Then, he no longer hid it and directly transformed his consciousness into a small human form suitable for combat.

Then, he punched directly at the frog's internal organs, causing it to feel pain and causing its entire body to shake irregularly.

Seeing this, Shen Xingyan was naturally not polite and let the clone punch several more times in succession, successfully breaking open the frog's belly.

The clone, seeing the light of day again, looked at the 'Frog God' who was already dying, and he gently shook his head and delivered the final punch.

As the clone's punch went down, the frog was no longer disturbed by the pain and completely lost its movement. Seeing this, the clone was about to turn into an ant and leave.

However, at this moment, a wisp of extremely faint gas slowly floated out of the frog's body. Shen Xingyan, who saw this scene for the first time, was slightly stunned, and then let the clone approach to see what was going on.

But as soon as the clone approached, this wisp of gas directly entered the clone's body, which made Shen Xingyan, who had not had time to study it, combine it with the current situation and couldn't help but guess:

"Could this be the substance recorded in the information that promotes the growth of Origin Energy after killing disasters?

But doesn't the information say that they are all invisible? Why is it that when it comes to clones, not only can it be seen, but it can also be absorbed by the clone? It's really a bit strange!

Could it be because the clone is a special existence composed of Origin Energy?"

Shen Xingyan had learned about this in school before. The stronger the strength of the disaster killed by the human race, the more Origin Energy it would increase for the person.

Like the 'Frog God' level, its Origin Energy increase was negligible.

Conversely, every human race seemed to be a great tonic in the eyes of disasters, which led to the formation of an irreconcilable situation between the two sides.

And now the clone can actually absorb such a gas, will there be any different situations next?

This idea made Shen Xingyan suddenly become excited.

Then, he no longer avoided those unimportant small disasters, but actively began to search.

In this vast area, after the cleanup by senior professionals, there were basically not many powerful disasters.

And Shen Xingyan, who was familiar with the disaster information, was also clear about the approximate attributes of the disasters he encountered. In order to explore the follow-up situation of the clone, he simply began to look for small disasters similar to the 'Frog God' to fight.
