Chapter 233: Clone
Standing in the middle of the tent, Heath raised his right hand with his palm facing upwards. His five fingers were bent into claws.
After getting into a good position, he began to try to mobilize the soul energy in his body.
With the long practice outside, he now had a basic grasp of the use of the soul. Without much trouble, the soul energy was gathered by him.
A light blue energy body rose from his palm, like a burning flame. However, this energy body was connected to his palm, and it seemed to be a part of his body.
Heath raised his left hand, and with a thought, his palm transformed into a dagger.
He held the dagger and stabbed at the energy body in his palm, starting to cut the energy body.
After a while.
Ziza! A soft sound rang out.
The s.p.a.ce in the tent rippled at this moment. It was caused by the eruption of soul energy.
After this layer of ripple pa.s.sed, the energy object in Heath’s palm had already separated from his palm. It slowly transformed into a ball in his palm.
This ball of energy was the soul that Heath had cut off.
“Phew!” After losing, Heath calmed himself down. His expression seemed to be a little uncomfortable.
Soul cutting was not a simple matter. It was equivalent to cutting off a part of a body. This was very harmful to the Wizard himself.
At this moment, Heath clearly felt that his soul power had decreased a little.
After resting for a while, he came before fatty’s corpse and sent the soul energy body in his hand towards Alf’s corpse.
The incorporeal soul energy was just like how it had pa.s.sed through the tent before, entering fatty’s body and quickly spreading towards fatty’s surroundings.
After waiting on the spot for two seconds…
Plop! Plop!
A vigorous heartbeat suddenly sounded.
Alf’s ice-cold corpse actually came to life at this moment. His heart began to beat, and his stiff and ice-cold skin gradually recovered.
Not long after, Alf opened his eyes.
His enormous body sat up from the bed. However, his eyes were not as dull and blank as before. Instead, they became more shrewd. His eyeb.a.l.l.s kept rolling around, as if he was a different person.
He raised his large hands and looked around, muttering to himself, “So that’s how it is. Is this a Soul Servant?”
This voice and tone obviously did not belong to the fatty who only knew how to eat.
It belonged to Heath!
A Soul Servant made by soul cutting was more like a Wizard’s clone than an ordinary servant.
By cutting off a part of the Wizard’s soul and injecting it into a new corpse, the Wizard could gain complete control over the body through his own soul. It could be said that the Wizard had been reborn.
This was equivalent to having a clone of the Wizard himself. Moreover, this body had its own life force and was an independent main body of the soul. It was equivalent to an independent individual.
Even if Heath himself died, he could use this body to be reborn, which was equivalent to having an additional life.
“I wonder if the system can be shared? Since the system is bound to the soul, it should also be possible, right?”
As he guessed in his heart, Heath called out in his heart, “System.”
[Beep, Supernatural Extraction System, waiting for Host’s summon.]
It really could be done!
The familiar blue virtual projection screen unfolded in front of Heath’s eyes, with various data listed on it:
[Strength 86, Agility 72, Vitality 108, Spiritual Force 162, Vitality 6.]
The attributes of the three measurements were not much different from what Heath had guessed before. They were all around 100, and spiritual force 162. It was probably the same as him, almost an intermediate-stage Wizard. It was this vitality…
‘Six points? That’s too little!’
There was nothing he could do about it. The soul and vitality were closely related. The vitality of this body had disappeared along with the death of the main body’s soul. The reason why it was able to recover was because of the little soul Heath had cut off.
The prerequisite for Heath to perform the soul cutting was that it could not affect the main body, so the soul energy cut off was naturally very rare. It was already good enough to have six points.
‘Forget it, I’ll slowly increase it!’
Shaking his head, Heath did not take this to heart. With the system, the materials, and the rich experience from before, it was not too difficult for him to increase his vitality. He could just slowly extract it in the future.
Following that, Heath closed his eyes and checked his spiritual sea.
An independent clone naturally also had an independent spiritual sea, but it was different from his main body’s spiritual sea.
This body had undergone many body modifications, including changes to the spiritual sea, changing it into a spell template that was more suitable for body strengthening. It was basically difficult to learn regular spells with this template.
‘It seems that this body can only focus on the path of body modification in the future…’
Heath quickly came to a conclusion.
This wasn’t a bad thing. After all, he wanted to revive this body to do research on body modification, and it was inevitable for him to give up on learning conventional spells if he wanted to further modify his body.
In any case, his original body was more than enough to learn conventional spells. Since this body couldn’t learn conventional spells, he didn’t have to learn them.
Heath’s original body walked over and circled around the fat Heath twice, carefully sizing it up.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Although this body had undergone many body modifications, the modifications were all in terms of strengthening the nucleus of the cells. In terms of appearance, other than the slightly larger mouth, the other parts were no different from ordinary people. Even the facial features were above average.
A round, fat face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes. Below it was a large mouth. It looked a little silly, with a charmingly naïve appearance.
It could not be considered handsome, but it was very cute.
“A perfect physique body. From now on, this body will be specialized in body modifications!”
Heath silently decided in his heart…
…
After completing the creation of the soul cutting and Soul Servant, Heath’s life immediately returned to the normal path.
During the day, he carried his greatsword and went out to explore and extract materials.
With the addition of the fatty’s clone, Heath’s extraction efficiency once again had a qualitative leap, increasing by a whole fold.
After all, in the past, he was the only one searching for materials to extract. Now that there was a fatty’s clone, the fatty’s ident.i.ty could also use the system and be able to extract materials. Naturally, the efficiency increased in an instant.
‘It would be great if I could have more clones!’
After feeling the double increase in efficiency for a few days, Heath could not help but feel a little greedy.
Unfortunately, his greed could only be thought about in his heart for the time being.
This clone was made with his soul as the main body. The prerequisite for creating a clone was that his soul energy needed to be strong enough.
With his current soul mutation rate of less than 30%, it was already the limit for him to make a clone with one cut. If he wanted to make another cut, he would need to advance to an intermediate Wizard or above.
Moreover, even if he advanced to an intermediate Wizard, it was still extremely difficult for him to complete the cut. The difficulty of the first cut and the second cut of the soul were two completely different things…
Just like that, every day, he would extract during the day, come back at night to train, carry out body experiments every few days to increase the fatty’s vitality, and so on. Every day, he lived a busy and fulfilling life.
During this process, Heath’s strength was also increasing day by day.
This continued for a few months, and Heath’s soul mutation rate smoothly reached 30%.
At this point, one of the basic conditions for becoming an intermediate Wizard had been successfully achieved.
Not long after his soul mutation rate reached 30%, the fortress arranged for a raven to send him a letter. With the arrival of this letter, Heath’s regular life changed once again…
