The two stood five meters away from each other. Even if he looked like him, this did not prevent him from attacking. He quickly ran towards him, and the copy also launched at the same time.
He struck with his dagger several times, but every time the two daggers met each other, preventing him from reaching, he looked like a mirror, imitating every blow that Zhang Yong delivered and immediately nullifying it.
"Since he can nullify my attacks, I just have to increase my speed."
Although Zhang Yong increased his speed, the doppelgänger increased his speed by the same amount. It seemed that the two had the same skills and stats.
They were getting faster and faster until it became difficult to follow them with the eye
Fragments of flying air were in the form of blades that could not be noticed, but they left their touch on the faces of the two, small wounds on the cheeks that are not worth mentioning.
Zhang Yong struck the dagger at the lookalike's neck and he responded in the same way
At the moment the two daggers approached each other, Zhang Yong suddenly raised his dagger upwards, striking the copy's dagger and throwing it into the sky. He took advantage of the loophole and held the knife horizontally, stabbing the copy's heart.
The next moment, Zhang Yong received a kick in the stomach that sent him flying away, flipping several times before stopping, leaving a dust of dirt in the air.
Zhang Yong looked at the doppelgänger who was standing in front of him and smiled as a line of blood dripped from his mouth to the side
"You're not just a copy without a will, so that's a misjudgment on my part."
Zhang Yong stood up with difficulty and rushed towards him, and the doppelganger took off as well. This time, the doppelganger's movements seemed freer. He now started from imitating the movements to fighting and trying to hit him. When Zhang Yong started to advance on him, the result changed in a few steps and Zhang Yong began to move backwards.
Zhang Yong stopped and got down, panting
"He stopped attacking me when I stopped. Could he have the ability to learn?"
According to Zhang Yong's thoughts, he put the possibility that it was an artificial existence created by the system that existed for something other than fighting
'Is it possible?'
Zhang Yong stood up and slowly walked towards the doppelgänger as the doppelgänger did until they stood facing each other face to face
Zhang Yong stood up and slowly walked towards the doppelgänger as the doppelgänger did until they stood facing each other face to face
'He's not attacking me, I might be right'
Zhang Yong raised the dagger and quickly placed it beside his neck
As he did, from what he noticed, the double's movement was a fraction of a second faster than him, so Zhang Yong might die before he killed the double.
Zhang Yong put away the dagger and placed it in several vital areas without attacking, just pointing at them
Zhang Yong slowly raised his dagger and collided with the doppelganger's dagger
The doppelgänger was assuming a defensive posture that was close to perfect. Zhang Yong took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and used his senses with great sensitivity, but the shocker did not find a single breaking point.
"It took me a while to realize, you are not only there to fight me but to teach me as well."
Zhang Yong stood in the same stance as the doppelgänger and this time he used his senses on himself, finding approximately thirteen points in his stance.
Zhang Yong slowly attacked the doppelgänger and each time took a different flawless stance
It took Zhang Yong about a week to learn all the possible techniques. He spent his days and nights learning. He didn't feel hungry, so he took all his time.
When Zhang Yong realized that the copy could no longer teach him anything by repeating the same actions in different situations
"It seems like it's the end, mate, though when I think about it, I look handsome up close."
Despite these words, Zhang Yong still knew that if he fought the clone now, he would definitely lose
Naoto held his dagger up to the sky while placing his other dagger in his belt
He held his dagger high, but the tip of the dagger was pointed at him, more precisely at his throat
Knowing that the copy imitates his movements
The clone held her dagger in the same manner
Zhang Yong swallowed, his hand shaking and trembling
'The mission did not mention the method of cleaning the waves, even though I knew that I would return from the dead, but what if the copy did not do the same and most importantly, what if the knife deviated a little...'
The thought of the knife going awry in Naoto's mind terrified him not to mention the instant death he was experiencing. A slow death was the most painful with an 80% chance of him being wrong. Otherwise he could hope to spend the rest of his life fighting the clone.
With a hesitating movement of his wrist, Zhang Yong pierced his throat with a single strike just as the copy had done
Zhang Yong returned next to the statue, lying on the ground. His upper body quickly rose and grabbed his neck, panting heavily, and drops of sweat appeared on his forehead as a result of panic.
But his expression immediately changed as soon as he heard the notification
(Congratulations to the host for completing the test, the prize has been distributed)
With the window popping up in front of him, the two daggers in his hands began to glow, the one in his right hand glowed with black light and the one on his belt glowed with pure white light.
Then the light inside the two daggers receded and they began to crack, and silver metal fragments fell to the ground. The two daggers turned into a pair of black and white daggers with a sharp edge resembling the tip of a spear.
"You got two daggers?! Just that, for dying ten thousand times more, are you kidding?"
Zhang Yong spoke as he inspected them. They were made of hard and solid iron, and the color that covered them gave them a distinct artistic character, which showed the skill of making them.
(Is the host blind? The other prize is behind you)
Zhang Yong turned behind him and all he saw was the tower and the ball above it
"I don't see anything"
The hologram let out a long sigh and then moved forward, picked up the crystal ball and threw it towards Zhang Yong
(This award, in addition to the two daggers, is called the twin of life and death. As for their ability, I will leave you the opportunity to discover that for yourself.)
Zhang Yong looked towards the ball in his hand, he could see his face reflected in its bright blue surface
Zhang Yong put them in the storeroom, and as he carried the two daggers, the two daggers evaporated from his hands and turned into two tattoos on the back of his hands. On his right hand, he drew a black skull, and on his left hand, he drew a mark in the shape of closed angel wings. As soon as he drew those shapes, the two marks disappeared.
"What happened now?"
(The two daggers have taken the form of two tattoos. All you have to do is think of the dagger you want and it will automatically appear in your hand)
As Naoto thought, the dagger of death appeared in his right hand, which looked very tame. It was easier to move and smooth as it seemed. Even if he threw it, it would return to the tattoo form immediately.
(Now that the test is over, there is one problem
You have to go through a space portal to get back.)
Zhang Yong looked like an idiot at Yuni and tilted his head to the side in question
"What's the difference between it and a regular gate?"
(You'll find out for yourself)
With this phrase, a violet portal with high suction power appeared
"What is this"
(your way of leaving)
Zhang Yong's voice showed as much emotion as there was on his face, and little by little he was pulled forcefully through the gate
He passed through the gate at high speed and the view from inside was like an endless spiral tunnel, it was like the folding of the void itself
Zhang Yong was quickly thrown out of the gate, and when he looked around, he was lying in the snow
"What is this place?"
In the midst of this place, Zhang Yong felt a kind of familiarity, and what's more, he felt spiritual energy running through his body again
Amidst his spiritual sea, the Ice Empress had regained her spiritual connection with Zhang Yong's body formed by the contract. Since Zhang Yong had been forbidden from using his spiritual energy, all means of communication between them had been closed.
'This place...the extreme north.' The Empress spoke with a little surprise
At the mention of this place, Zhang Yong was surprised that he had come all this way, but there was a feeling that remained in Zhang Yong's mind, a sense of absence, as if he should have remembered something but had forgotten it.
Suddenly, the place beneath Zhang Yong's feet exploded, but he was quick enough to jump away from it, despite the heavy snow, this did not impede his senses.
Ice Empress Ice's voice rang out again
'Could this movement and this aura be... No, this aura is weaker, but it is similar to it.'
As Zhang Yong heard the emperor's voice, he couldn't help but ask
"What are you talking about?"
The Empress answered immediately
'Just an old acquaintance, but I don't think it's her.'
With the voice of the Empress, the color of jade pulsed in the middle of the snowstorm. As the presence approached, a hard shell, an ice tail, and a huge body were revealed. It was a scorpion that resembled the Ice Empress in its original form.
"Is this someone you know?"
The Empress crossed her arms, yet closed her eyes and looked arrogantly at that scorpion
'I thought so at first, but I think he's just someone who belongs to her family.'
Zhang Yong looked at the scorpion and smiled fiercely as the snow fell on his head, making him turn a little white
"How would you describe your relationship with that person?"
The Empress looked at Zhang Yong for a few seconds, unable to know what he was thinking
'It could be said that we are competitors, but to actually train one of her members in one of her ice skills to this level is something she can be proud of.'
"This is good"
With the above words said, Zhang Yong rushed towards the scorpion
Two daggers appeared in both hands
The scorpion hurled ice spears at him. However, for a moment, everything seemed slow to Zhang Yong. As he immersed his senses, he saw white dots on the spears.
He threw daggers at the spears at a high speed, and the moment they made contact, the piece of ice next to Zhang Yong's body exploded
Zhang Yong's body was covered in a transparent blue ice shield, preventing the explosion from harming him
"It won't hurt me with the Soul Bone's ability, Ice Armor."
Zhang Yong continued and jumped over the scorpion's body, with the scorpion moving its tail to hit Zhang Yong. That was the end of him.
Zhang Yong hit the tail hard with his right hand's black dagger and the tip of the tail shattered into small pieces
He landed on the scorpion's back
He grabbed his dagger, stabbed deeply into the back, and began stabbing successively
Until he opened a crack through his flesh, his second soul ring appeared and a ball of flame formed in his hand
He lowered his hand forcefully and his arm penetrated his back. With the fire shooting inside the scorpion's body, his body exploded from the inside until it became roasted as black smoke came out of the scorpion's mouth as it took its last breath.
(The host killed the 10524 Ice Jade Scorpion
year and got

Not long after, a black spirit ring floated out
From the scorpion's body, Zhang Yong approached the scorpion's body and pulled out the hard outer shell, the flesh inside was slightly burned.
"Empress, perhaps it would be best for you to close your eyes for a while."
'For any reason'
Zhang Yong cut off a piece of scorpion meat, sat down, and began to eat it. It had been a long time since he had tasted the taste of meat. Zhang Yong tried to be considerate of the Empress's feelings. It was difficult to see your own people being eaten.
The Ice Empress closed her eyes and said:
'It's not like I really care, the strong always eat the weak and that's the nature of the world. More importantly, there is a possibility that he could leave behind a soul bone with our clan's unique skill.'
Zhang Yong looked for a moment at the scorpion's corpse and approached and began to dig into it
He began to pick off the outer shell of his back, searching the tail and head but finding nothing
Then he pulled out the heavy pincer and felt ripples of spirit energy emanating from it
He immediately pierced it with his dagger, then the outer shell flew away, and the soul bone appeared inside the pincer, and Zhang Yong was momentarily dazzled.
"This is the soul bone of the right arm."
As Zhang Yong pulled out the spirit bone, he felt its cold aura, without a doubt it was the bone of a ten thousand year old spirit beast.
The Empress's eyes widened for a moment in surprise:
'You have good luck, this Soul Bone contains one of our clan's skills, Ice Blast.'
"Please explain more"
'By injecting it into any ice, you can explode it anytime you want and the strength of the explosion depends on your level. The real threat to the Ice Explosion technique is when it is used on a living target that has been frozen by absolute ice. The stronger the existence that was frozen, the stronger the explosion, but the technique... You need two conditions: first, the entire body must be frozen, and second, you must touch it with your right arm to inject it.'
With the amount of information Zhang Yong currently possessed, he immediately absorbed it, used the system map to make sure the place was safe, as the atmosphere around him became more and more harsh, he muttered a few words.
"A terrible storm is coming"
With the mention of these words, Zhang Yong's third soul ring soared upward and an ice cave was instantly created
He looked back at the scorpion's corpse, looked at the black Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring, and sighed regretfully
"What a waste, I haven't even reached the bottleneck yet."
Zhang Yong did not care about the ring for two reasons. Firstly, as he mentioned, he had not reached the fifty level yet. Secondly, this ring was like his third soul ring. Absorbing two soul rings of the same type of soul beast would be of no use to him, as compared to the Empress Ring, this ring was just rubbish. In addition, Zhang Yong did not care about the ring for two reasons. He couldn't handle the power of this soul ring, even the Ice Empress had to seal two-thirds of its power so that Zhang Yong could slowly absorb its power so that his body wouldn't explode.
Zhang Yong entered the cave and sat in the lotus position
"I will take advantage of this opportunity and merge with the other Soul Bone. Give me two Absorption Cards, Uni."
(Two absorption cards were purchased for 40,000 points)
The two cards appeared in front of Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong took out the other Soul Bone of the Lightning Leopard and placed each card on the two bones. They melted and took a slimy shape and climbed onto Zhang Yong's body. The scorpion bone crossed into his right arm and took its place, while the leopard bone went to his right leg.
In less than five minutes the bones were in place
"Thanks for the card, otherwise I would have spent a long time integrating, but I don't feel like I forgot anything."
(I think you mean going to the Imperial Academy)
Zhang Yong immediately grabbed his head in alarm and spoke nervously
"This is bad. This is bad. I was so busy with the mission that I completely forgot about it. How long did I stay there?"
(You stayed for about three months, and you only have a month left at most, and there is no need to worry)
Zhang Yong looked at Yuni and smiled with some hope
"Do you have a transit card to pick me up?"
Yuni showed a helpless appearance in front of Zhang Yong
(There is no such thing in the store, what I mean is, years ago it took you half a month to come back and this time you have the wings so you will be able to come back even earlier than you expect)
With Zhang Yong's reassurance, he remembered his fight against the monsters that made him relive his memories of killing him, he remembered his parents from this world.
"I think I'll come back to visit, but first..."
Zhang Yong took out the crystal ball in his hands, then closed his eyes and began to suck it
He began to feel something unbalanced in his body and the ball began to shine in his hand. It seemed as if all of his organs were being frozen and returned to their state over and over again. He felt his spiritual sea becoming purer and purer and it brought him peace and calm.
The movement of his mind was smooth, and then the element of ice appeared in his soul. He felt his fighting spirit as if it was merging with the crystal little by little, and he began to realize the true meaning of the meaning of "ice."
After half the day had passed, Naoto opened his eyes, and the crystal ball had turned to dust in his hand. He felt his mind clearer, and a feeling of lightness flooded his body.
(Congratulations to the host. He increased his intelligence by fifty points

"Only intelligence and a little strength are all that matters."
Suddenly Zhang Yong heard the empress's voice addressing him
'I didn't expect your mental strength to reach this level so quickly, you surprised me.'
"Do you know anything about mental strength?"
'Kind of, I knew several mental energy type monsters so I have some knowledge.'
Zhang Yong smiled at this, if he decided to learn how to control mental energy he would probably ask the Empress first
"Now that we're here, I think it's time to head back."
Zhang Yong bought a black shirt from the system for a thousand points without any characteristics and put on his black robe over it. He discovered an interesting trick. By injecting spirit energy into the robe, he could change its shape and change it into the shape of the upper part of a kimono.
Zhang Yong then came out of the cave and stretched out a little, then released his spirit, spread his flaming wings and set off on his way
