Chapter 127: Clone: Lu Ming, Attribute: 10.
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Mother Tree really wanted to say that everything was under its control!
That was indeed the case…
You came to my territory, and you, Lu Ming, still want to go back in one piece? Stop fooling around. I’m also very awesome, okay?
It could be said that the moment Lu Ming arrived in Linhai County, his genetic sample had already become the possession of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree.
Can you fight? You can fight, sure.
But will you get injured? Will you bleed?
No?
Fine.
But will you sweat? Will you lose hair?
Maybe not lose hair, but sweating is inevitable!
I, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree, am not weak either. Can you easily handle me without breaking a sweat?
Don’t make me laugh!
As long as Lu Ming sweated…
His genetic sample would inevitably be obtained by the Mother Tree!
There was no need for Lu Ming’s sweat to drip on the ground…
Even the evaporated sweat was also sweat. It could also be used as a genetic sample!
Even when Lu Ming was entangled with the roots, Lu Ming’s genetic sample had already been obtained by the Blood Flesh Mother Tree.
In the Blood Flesh Mother Tree’s body, a large amount of energy was transferred to the tree trunk.
This was not just for healing the damage caused by Lu Ming, but also for a.n.a.lyzing Lu Ming’s genes!
Generally speaking, the more powerful the biological sample, the more time the Mother Tree would need to a.n.a.lyze it.
At that time, Gris and the Mother Tree had taken a full three minutes to a.n.a.lyze.
Based on Lu Ming’s strength, the Mother Tree estimated that it would take about 30 minutes to an hour to a.n.a.lyze.
But it did not matter…
The Mother Tree could handle it completely.
In order to prevent Lu Ming from escaping, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree once again taunted him.
“Now that I’ve obtained your genetic sample, soon, 1’11 be able to ma.s.s-produce clones of you, Lu Ming.
I’m sorry for the three times of hara.s.sment yesterday. But never again, 1 swear.
Because the next time, there will be three or even thirty of you coming to find you.
Lu Ming, I really want to see how you will perform against multiple opponents of the same strength as you.”
Lu Ming put away his battle sword instead, not caring about the idle chatter of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree.
He secretly sized up the Blood Flesh Mother Tree in front of him for a while. After about five seconds, he said, “Have you a.n.a.lyzed it?”
The Blood Flesh Mother said, “How can it be so fast… Huh? Wait a moment…”
Inside its body, the a.n.a.lysis of Lu Ming’s genes had been completed.
Total time: 15 seconds…
Before the mother tree could recover, Lu Ming said, “Make a clone for me to see.”
At this moment, Lu Ming seemed quite eager.
The abnormal a.n.a.lysis time and Lu Ming’s unusual att.i.tude directly perplexed the Blood Flesh Mother Tree.
However, after careful consideration, the Mother Tree could not find the root of the problem.
Unlike completely devouring someone to gain their knowledge and memories, the Mother Tree only obtained Lu Ming’s genetic sample and did not acquire his memories. It was only able to replicate his physical body.
After some thought, the Mother Tree decided to take action directly.
“If you want to see it, I’ll show you!”
A large amount of energy was channeled into the matrix.
Underground, inside the matrix, a body of Lu Ming body quickly took shape!
At the same time, a male head swayed on a branch and fell onto the matrix like a ripe melon, fusing with the body.
However, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree felt that something was terribly wrong…
To replicate a body, it required consuming the Mother Tree’s reserve energy.
Generally, the stronger the body, the more energy it requires, and the longer the production time.
In fact, in order to replicate Lu Ming’s clone immediately, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree had already acc.u.mulated a vast amount of energy—today, it did not even create any human-headed monsters, which showed how much energy the Mother Tree had stored.
But…
In just five seconds, Lu Ming’s clone was formed.
Moreover, the energy consumption was almost negligible, similar to that of a
Tier 1 creature…
This is not right!
This is definitely not right!
That should not be the case.
The Blood Flesh Mother Tree was at a loss.
However, its hands did not stop moving.
Hence, Lu Ming and the Blood Flesh Mother Tree saw something about ten meters away.
A Lu Ming with someone else’s head appeared.
With just a glance, Lu Ming and the Blood Flesh Mother Tree could tell that something was wrong.
“This clone you created is malnourished, right?”
Lu Ming’s current height had already reached 2.4 meters.
He weighed nearly half a ton!
Tall and strong!
This was the first impression Lu Ming gave anyone.
However, the clone seemed a little ridiculous.
He was only 1.8 meters tall, and his physique was definitely not strong. The body shape was probably at the level of a pa.s.ser-by.
Anyone with eyes could see the difference between the clone and the original…
“This is not right!”
The Mother Tree could not bear it any longer and exclaimed loudly.
It quickly issued a command and saw the clone of Lu Ming rushing towards the real Lu Ming.
Then, with one punch, it struck Lu Ming’s waist…
“Get lost, idiot.”
Lu Ming retaliated with a backhanded slap, turning the clone into a pancake…
Thus, the atmosphere in the entire Linhai County instantly froze.
The Blood Flesh Mother Tree looked at Lu Ming and then at the replica of Lu Ming who had been slapped to death.
It was utterly baffled.
Lu Ming grinned instead.
“Do you know why?” he asked.
The bewildered Blood Flesh Mother Tree instinctively replied, “Why?”
“I’m not telling you….”
The Blood Flesh Mother Tree fell completely silent…
Soon, another Lu Ming’s clone was created.
This time, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree conducted a comprehensive a.n.a.lysis of this body.
The results were clear.
Clone of Lu Ming.
Level: Level 1
No Awakened abilities.
The physical condition was on par with a regular Level 1 Awakened…
What on earth is going on!!
The Blood Flesh Mother Tree kept repeating this question in its mind over and over again.
It could not figure it out at all!
Lu Ming, however, heaved a sigh of relief.
Lu Ming definitely knew the reason…
He thought about how he had gained such great strength from the apocalypse until now.
99.99% of his achievements were undoubtedly due to his own efforts, but the a.s.sistance of the system could not be ignored—the importance of the system was about 0.01%.
‘It could not be any higher.’
In short, he was an ordinary person, as ordinary as it got.
Lu Ming’s greatest trump card was this unknown system.
It was the system that made Lu Ming work non-stop to obtain power!
Lu Ming was just an ordinary person. He could not be any more ordinary.
It was the system that made Lu Ming extraordinary—it had nothing to do with his genes.
What was certain was that the origin of the system was unknown, but it was incredibly powerful.
Lu Ming did not believe that the Blood Flesh Mother Tree could replicate the system, no matter how awesome it was.
That possibility did not exist!
So what’s the point of replicating my genes?
I’m just an ordinary Level 1 Awakened!
Without replicating the system, everything else is meaningless!
However, there was no need to explain all of this to the Blood Flesh Mother
Tree.
Now that he knew the result, Luming felt at ease.
Meanwhile, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree was still in a state of confusion and could not extricate itself.
On the other side, Lu Ming raised his sword again, preparing to use the main body of the Blood Flesh Mother Tree for target practice.
Lu Ming had to admit that this Blood Flesh Mother Tree was tough to deal with.
To kill it, he either needed to advance to the next level, which might not be enough even if he reached it, or he had to use a slow and c.u.mbersome method to drain the Blood Flesh Mother Tree’s energy.
Seeing that the Blood Flesh Mother Tree could not replicate his full power, Lu Ming abandoned the idea of advancing to the next level. Instead, he prepared to deal with this scourge using the dumbest and slowest method.
“Rip.”
Rip.
It was the sound of a battle sword slashing against a tree trunk.
At this moment, Lu Ming was like a hardworking lumberjack or a foolish old man moving a mountain.
Until the Blood Flesh Mother Tree’s anxious and pained voice suddenly sounded.
Brother, Brother Lu, wait a moment.. Shall we discuss it again?”
