Chapter 424: Lu Shu’s Clones!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Xiaoyu studied Lu Shu carefully. Indeed, he looked exactly the same as the real one. Suddenly she said, “Will you ever eat half of my chips again in the name of tasting one piece only?!”
The Lu Shu in front replied, “No, never!”
Lu Xiaoyu laughed until her eyes squeezed into two crescents. “Sensible answer!”
In fact, she did not have to say it out besides will control. But she thought it was rather cool…
“Will you ever put me to bed with perfunctory lame jokes again?!”
Lu Shu replied, “No, never!”
“Will you ever add cumin or black pepper into tomato with eggs at your own disposal?!”
“No, never.”
“Will you… leave me?” after she finished the question, she hesitated and mumbled, “So boring!”
It was just a puppet, not Lu Shu himself. But then she suddenly thought of an idea. She could alibi him when he was out there executing his evil plans!
It was a very practical and helpful use that Lu Shu would probably need…
Honestly speaking, in terms of combat effectiveness, the materialized Lu Shu was so much weaker than the real person. In any case, he was a pure Class C strength type with neither his mysterious celestial map nor his gourd, sea of chi and snow mountain.
Thus, it was not Lu Shu after all and Lu Xiaoyu had lost her interest.
Her little cheeks suddenly blushed. “Take off your shirt, Lu Shu…”
Her voice was barely audible towards the back…
In spite of living under the same roof, Lu Shu had paid special attention to privacy. He would not take off his T-shirt in Lu Xiaoyu’s presence even in summer. When he went to Xiaoyu’s room for an air-conditioned night, he would dress himself decently and sleep on the floor.
To him, although they had always been depending on each other, there were bottom lines to maintain. And he had done a good job.
At this very moment, the materialized Lu Shu suddenly raised his brows. “What did you do, Lu Xiaoyu?!”
Lu Xiaoyu almost jumped off the stone in shock. She did not control him to say that!
It felt like she was a naughty kid whose playful deeds had been discovered, or her secrets were revealed.
“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +999!”
How was that possible? It was only a materialized being, how could she lose control?!
Then, the Lu Shu in front clenched his fists and stretched his fingers again. “Strange. Did you conjure me up, Xiaoyu? Despite the foreign strengths in this body, I can get along completely well. Besides, I myself don’t even have to be distracted to control here.”
Instead of having consciousness by itself, a wisp of Lu Shu’s own was pulled here and the two sides were perfectly in synchronization! Everything that happened here was registered in the main body as well.
Just now after Lu Shu’s celestial map had flickered, a feeling started growing stronger in his mind. Then, he could not resist the temptation for a remote control. It just felt like a smoothly running split screen.
Was that his clone?! Lu Shu suddenly realized the gist of the problem. It seemed that Lu Xiaoyu could actually create Class C strength-type clones of himself using Johnson?!
Meanwhile, Lu Xiaoyu had noticed too that she had lost all control of the materialized Lu Shu!
She asked carefully, “When did you come here?”
“I spoke once my will reached,” Lu Shu was still getting used to his body.
“Didn’t hear me say anything?” Lu Xiaoyu flew a kite.
“What did you say?” Lu Shu was curios.
“Haha, nothing,” Lu Xiaoyu was finally relieved. The long time spent with Lu Shu had taught her the trick of spotting his lies, for example when he insisted that he did not sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars!
Back then, she pretended to believe him just to save him some face!
But everything was way too weird. Lu Shu had read about materialization powers on the Golden Foundation forum and he was clearly aware, though Lu Xiaoyu was not, that no one had managed to conjure up humans so far.
Yet, not only did Lu Xiaoyu succeed, he could even control it himself while Lu Xiaoyu could not.
Could it be due to the secret linkage between their celestial maps?
If that was the case, Lu Shu seemed to be the more dominant one of their twin celestial powers. It was apparent from the fact that Xiaoyu’s spirits could be restrained by his Corpsedog and that he could even reverse-control his clone!
“Xiaoyu, try materializing more of me using Johnson and see how many we can get,” the thought suddenly crossed Lu Shu’s mind.
In any case, Johnson could conjure up so many crows back then. So he should not have any issue with numbers.
Lu Xiaoyu immediately did as told when she was still feeling embarrassed for her previous thoughts…
One, two… five!
She stopped when the fifth Lu Shu had appeare. “This is the limit.”
Five Lu Shus exchanged startled looks with one another until one quipped, “It’s so bloody weird! There are so many of myself and we work perfectly well like the five fingers.”
It was like the enhanced version of Naruto’s Shadow Clone Technique!
Despite their low combat capabilities of merely Class C, it was already high enough and they were advantaged in terms of numbers!
One of the Lu Shu’s raised his hand, conjuring up a spear from thin air. It was precisely the same as the one he was familiar with! He could actually use Johnson’s power directly!
Lu Shu turned and hurled the spear out at full strength with a loud bang!
The spear crushed a stone completely, together with the gargoyle sealed inside!
Lu Shu was shocked, not for the matchable strength of his clones, but that he could spare his spears!
How about materializing five of himself when he wanted to have a fight with someone in the future…
As a matter of fact, why not follow Lu Shu’s usual fighting style instead of using Johnson to come up with some other unfamiliar techniques?
Although it would consume a great deal of his clones’ mana and there was no protection from his divine water nor celestial cloak, the existence of five clones as his supporting attackers was already awesome!
More importantly, Xiaoyu could establish contact with him anytime anywhere without causing him any inconvenience!
