Yin Guan was far away and did not immediately sense the presence of an extra 'Zhuang Hong'.
When he saw Zhuang Hong, he said happily: "Master, are you out of seclusion?"
'Zhuang Hong' nodded mechanically, unable to speak.
Yin Guan didn't seem to notice anything strange about 'Zhuang Hong', and happily shared his experience with Zhuang Hong during this period.
"Master, there are more and more low-level void spirits in this space. It seems that the group of half-orcs are coming here. For safety reasons, we may have to move to another place..."
After listening quietly for a while, Zhuang Hong's voice suddenly sounded in Yin Guan's mind: "Yin Guan, can you feel the breath of the insects from my clone?"
"sure!"
Yin Guan nodded in reply.
However, he was stunned as soon as he finished speaking. He turned to look at 'Zhuang Hong' in front of him and said in disbelief: "Is this your clone, young master?"
After a while, Zhuang Hong's real body came running from a distance, and after a few ups and downs, it stopped next to the clone.
"How? From your perspective, what is the difference between the clone and the main body?"
Yin Guan's eyes widened and he looked back and forth between Zhuang Hong and the clone.
"This clone is enough to look fake in a chaotic battle! To say there are any differences... there are some differences. One is that the expression is slightly stiff, and the other is that the aura of the insect on the body is slightly weaker, but if you don't look carefully, it should be I can’t tell the difference, and the third reason is that the sense of oppression given to me by the clone is not as strong as the main body. But overall, it’s perfect!”
Zhuang Hong nodded.
He also knew the difference mentioned by Yin Guan, but he had just adjusted it many times, but still could not achieve the level of complete consistency with the original body.
But he was very satisfied to have reached this level.
This clone does not need to be used for fighting, it can only be used to slightly confuse the enemy when it is possible to escape.
In other words, up to this point, the clone technique has been perfected.
However, in order for the clone technique to be effective at critical moments, dozens of spore clones must be cultivated in the body for backup.
Moreover, after the first spore clone was activated, it could no longer be restored to its spore state and was basically scrapped.
As Zhuang Hong thought, the spore clone quickly shrank, as if deflated, and turned into a fist-sized ball of flesh in the blink of an eye.
He hooked his fingers, and the meat ball fell into Zhuang Hong's hand. Some of the residual energy and nutrients inside were instantly absorbed by Zhuang Hong, and the meat ball quickly shriveled and lost its activity.
There is a lot of energy and nutrients in the avatar, so it cannot be wasted.
…
After returning to Xu Kaidong's house again, Zhuang Hong did not immediately return to the room to continue cultivating spore clones. Instead, he found Xu Kaidong to test the results of Xu Kaidong's practice during this period.
After Xu Kaidong saw Zhuang Hong, he couldn't wait to perform.
He spread his palms.
"Huh~"
A red flame the size of a fist emerged out of thin air in his palm.
The next moment, a wave of heat radiated around, indicating the extremely high temperature contained in this flame.
Xu Kaidong laughed proudly.
He turned around and looked around, wanting to pick a tree as a target for attack. However, after practicing in the past few months, he had basically burned the grass and trees in the entire mansion. Now that there was nothing left to burn, he had to aim at different targets. The distant wall.
"Look at my big fireball technique!"
Then he threw his hand and threw the fist-sized fireball onto a wall not far away.
"Peng!"
The fireball hit the wall and spread violently, forming a three-meter-diameter flower of flame. The scorching heat crackled the wall.
After a few seconds, the flames dissipated, and the burned areas on the wall changed color slightly.
Xu Kaidong admired his results and was so excited that he almost danced.
However, years of training still allowed him to endure it.
"Mr. Zhuang, how is my fireball technique? Is it okay? Hahaha!"
Zhuang Hong praised without hesitation: "It's more than just okay, not too good at all. It seems that you haven't been lazy during this period."
"Laziness? Impossible. How can I, Xu Kaidong, be lazy when doing things?"
His eyes were filled with blazing flames: "I only hate that there are so few hours in a day, so I can't spare more time to practice my big fireball technique!"
Zhuang Hong gave a thumbs up: "Awesome, but you are just getting started now and you need to keep working hard."
"certainly."
Xu Kaidong took out the box full of ashes and handed it to Zhuang Hong: "Mr. Zhuang, fortunately, I have completely removed the ashes."
Zhuang Hong observed the box for a moment and found that the box was no longer filled with ashes, but a black powder, like toner. From the toner, there was no smell of decay.
He reached out and pinched some from the box, rubbing it between his fingers.
After thinking about it, he handed the box back to Xu Kaidong and said, "I'm going to take some soil, mix it with the powder, and then put it in a pot to plant some flowers and plants to see if the flowers and plants can grow alive."
Xu Kaidong was curious, but he still took it and followed it.
Xu Kaidong asked again: "Mr. Zhuang, when can I gain the ability to travel freely through space like you? To be honest, even though so many years have passed, I still want to return to Earth."
Zhuang Hong said: "This matter cannot be rushed. We will wait until you complete the task of clearing the ashes."
Xu Kaidong: "Isn't it already cleared?"
"No, these are just some samples to confirm whether you can remove the ashes. In fact, there are still many ashes waiting for you to remove."
Xu Kaidong was stunned.
He always thought that he only needed to clear this box of ashes, but he didn't expect...
But after thinking about it, he felt it was nothing, and said to himself: "It doesn't matter even if there are more ashes. With my strength, it won't take long to clean up all the ashes."
Zhuang Hong added: "You should continue to practice your spiritual power and the Star Burning Technique. Once you have mastered the Star Burning Technique, it will be easier to clean up the ashes in the future."
…
One month later.
In the temporary laboratory, Zhuang Hong sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and used his mental power to sense the situation in his body.
At this time, there were thirty finger-sized sarcomas on the inner wall of his abdominal cavity, neatly and densely arranged, as if he was suffering from some serious disease...
These sarcomas are the spore clones that Zhuang Hong has cultivated this month, and they have all been matured and debugged. These spores can be taken out of the body and turned into clones at any time.
Until this time, Zhuang Hong had a new means of self-protection, which made him feel relieved.
But he still felt it.
not enough!
The three true spirits of Longting Miscellaneous Domain still put great pressure on Zhuang Hong.
He didn't know how powerful the true spirit was, and because he didn't know, he felt strong uneasiness in his heart.
The ascended spirit level void spirit is called an ascended spirit beast, which is still a beast in nature, while the true spirit level is already called a spirit.
There must be a world of difference between spirits and beasts.
Zhuang Hong opened his eyes and stood up. After briefly cleaning up the laboratory, he began to sense his own condition.
"Yuanli is about to break through to the fourth stage of spiritual ascension. The physical strength has increased the most, and the strengthening rate is close to 35%. It is nearly twice as strong as before. At this rate, I can strengthen the physical body in just over a year. To 100%.”
In the past few months, Yin Guan has brought several void spirits to Zhuang Hong every day. Although most of them are white and green low-level things, and there is no major breakthrough in source power level, his physical strength has increased greatly. 20% was suddenly increased to 35%, and the overall combat effectiveness was more than doubled.
"I just don't know what will happen if such power really confronts the true spirit."
Zhuang Hong thought and pushed the door open.
He first checked Xu Kaidong's cultivation progress and found that his 'big fire ball' was already as big as a solid ball, so he laughed.
"Mr. Xu, your fireball technique has become superb. It's time to help me clean up the ashes."
Xu Kaidong perked up: "Great, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Let's set off early and let me help Mr. Zhuang clear away all the ashes as soon as possible."
"This matter is not urgent. I will give you five days to prepare and set off in five days. By the way, you can find someone to help me customize some clothes. The requirements are the same as the ones I have on me. Fifty sets will be enough."
"This is easy to handle!"
