My Special Ability is Perfect Replication

The stone was only the size of an apple, milky white like something formed from frozen milk.

It looked ordinary. But when Ling Jiu saw it, his expression changed. “This is—”

“It seems you have recognized it!”

Shi Gang looked excited. “That’s right! This rock is formed from Gene Arcana’s crystallization. In the words of the experts on our forum, this thing is a Solidified Gene Arcana, or Energy Crystal for short.”

“A Solidified Gene Arcana?”

“An Energy Crystal?”

“Let me take a look!”

Ling Jiu grabbed the white rock and felt it in his hand.

“Give it back to me after you finish.” Shi Gang looked cautious.

Ling Jiu could feel the Gene Arcana in the white rock.

The Gene Arcana in this rock was much higher than the Gene Arcana core he had worked so hard to form.

The Gene Arcana core of him was the fruit of his labor. He had spent so much time to gather and condense Gene Arcana just for this thing.

He could imagine how high the Gene Arcana content was in this white rock.

“Where did you get this thing from?”

Ling Jiu asked in a low voice as he handed the rock back to Shi Gang.

Shi Gang breathed a sigh of relief and carefully kept the rock with him. At first, he was worried that Ling Jiu was greedy and would snatch this energy crystal like those scoundrels before this.

“Thing started this away.” Shi Gang quickly told of what had happened.

He and Dylon had found something similar to a bird’s nest about thirty minutes ago. Inside the nest was what could be the egg of an unknown creature.

There were dozens of similar white rocks scattered around.

The two were so excited once they had recognized the white rocks as energy crystals. But before they could take those energy crystals, a Centipede Dragon came.

It turned out that this nest belonged to the Centipede Dragon.

A battle inevitably broke out. When the fight was in full swing, the noise had attracted the other arcanists, who came and also saw the energy crystals.

So the battle had turned into a gang fight.

As the gang fight got louder and louder, it had drawn even more arcanists. The Centipede Dragon swallowed the nest and fled in desperation.

Then the rest was history.

“Such a massive energy crystal is worth at least ten thousand contribution points.”

Shi Gang’s eyes lit up. “There are at least dozens of such rock in the Centipede Dragon nest. That’s hundreds of thousands of contribution points!”

“Holy moly! These things will boost us into Level 6 in our self-cultivation in the shortest time if we don’t sell it.”

Speaking of this, Shi Gang suddenly licked his lips and chuckled. “Hey, Ling Jiu, since I have told you such a valuable information, remember to share the energy crystals you get later. All I ask for is just one piece. That’s enough for me.”

“Are you so confident of me getting the energy crystals back?”

“With your ability, it is going to be a piece of cake for you, isn’t it?” Shi Gang grinned. “Those guys will have to step aside as soon as you move in. To be honest, I had wanted to ask you to join the gang fight earlier. But cell phones don’t work here. D*mn, all I could do was watch anxiously.”

“Look!” Dylon suddenly shouted quietly. “There is movement ahead!”

Ling Jiu and Shi Gang quickly looked and saw those airships had stopped in the air while a fierce gang fight had broken out on the ground.

Hundreds of arcanists were bombarding the Centipede Dragon indiscriminately. Flames, water dragons, earth and rocks, lightning, sonic waves, magnetic cannons, bullets, artillery shells and all sorts of attacks rained down on the Centipede Dragon.

The amazing thing was that those attacks were nothing more than tickling to the Centipede Dragon. They could not cause any substantial harm to it at all— not even a scratch.

“The defense of this Centipede Dragon is terrifying!” Dylon shook his head and sighed. “It is even stronger than many Class-Eight Direbeasts. We alone would probably never kill it.”

“We would have beaten it to its death if not for this reason.” Shi Gang looked at Ling Jiu. “Are you sure you can subdue it?”

“There are many ways to skin a cat.” Ling Jiu let out a confident smile.

“I knew you could!” Shi Gang was extremely delighted.

Meanwhile, the Centipede Dragon did not even look at those hundreds of arcanist. What it was helpless against was Francis, who clung to its head like a chewing gum.

Francis could not kill the Centipede Dragon with his sword, but he still caused great pain and annoyance to it.

The Centipede Dragon suddenly raised and slammed its head into a nearby giant tree.

Francis’s heart skipped a beat. If the Centipede Dragon’s head were to hit against the tree, it could inflict serious injury on him, considering the force of the impact.

“D*mn it!”

Francis was quietly furious. He quickly let go of the Centipede Dragon and before it slammed into the giant tree, he had escaped to safety.

Han Chujun ran up to him. “My dear, are you okay?”

“I am okay.” Francis shook his head. “This beast has powerful defense. I can’t kill it!”

“What to do then?” Han Chujun frowned.

“I don’t know.”

Francis sighed. The Centipede Dragon had swallowed dozens of energy crystals, which were worth hundreds of thousands of contribution points.

He did not want to give up just like that, but he could do nothing right now.

“There is nothing we can do!”

“We are no match for this beast!”

“Even Francis can’t kill it. What should we do? Give up?”

“Francis is the number one arcanist of our Vulcan training camp. Who are we when even he can’t defeat the Centipede Dragon?”

“Do we really have to give up? I can’t get over it. There are still dozens of energy crystals in its stomach. This is a treasure worth hundreds of thousands of contribution points!”

“Does this beast even have weaknesses? Eyes? Nose? Or maybe we could target its backside!”

Francis was definitely the most powerful one among the one hundred arcanists at the scene. He could at last pierced through the hard armor of the Centipede Dragon slightly.

But the others could not even breach the Centipede Dragon’s defenses, even if they joined hands.

Everyone was in despair when even Francis could do nothing about the Centipede Dragon.

Giving up?

It was the last thing they wanted.

Not giving up?

What else could they do?

A voice came just as everyone was a nonstarter. “Are you all done? If so, step aside!”
