My Special Ability is Perfect Replication

The way to consume the Crystal Demonic Orchid was not that difficult. It just needed to be uprooted, washed, then swallowed.

“Hope this thing will make my Arcana Replication undergo the Second Arcana Awakening!”

Ling Jiu took a deep breath and swallowed a Crystal Demonic Orchid.

A moment later, a cold sensation rose within his abdomen, up to the top of his head, then engulfing his entire brain.

Right now, Ling Jiu felt as if he were in a trance, finding himself inside a snowy world with tornadoes ravaging all around.

Suddenly, he was engulfed by a tornado as tall as several hundred meters.

The rapid spinning motion left Ling Jiu disoriented and dizzy. Because of the motion sickness, he felt like he was going to throw up.

“Blargh—”

…

He did not know how long it had passed. When he felt he was on the ground again, his head was spinning. His mouth stank of sourness. When he looked down, he saw his vomit on the ground.

Ling Jiu forced a smile. The Crystal Demonic Orchid was very effective, but its side effects—illusion and nausea—were terrible.

“Is my Arcana Replication awakened?” He took a deep breath.

The next moment, he felt the world spin around him and he was in an unfamiliar place.

It was a pitch-dark, mysterious dimension. He could see nothing but a light in the center of the darkness.

It was a giant golden light sphere, suspended in the darkness and emitting beams of golden light. It was the only light source in this mysterious dark world.

How big was it?

He could not tell.

It looked very big, but also tiny.

Surrounding the golden light sphere were four or five smaller ones.

One was black.

One was yellowish brown.

One was colorless and transparent.

One was dark-silver.

One was bright-silver.

They were all silently revolving around the golden light sphere, much like the Earth, Mars, Venus, and other planets circled the Sun.

“What is this? My arcana? Is the golden light sphere in the center representing Arcana Replication, and the five smaller ones the five other replicated arcana?”

Just when he was about to study these light spheres further, a ripping force hit him, and the next moment, his consciousness returned to his body.

“Was that my arcana?”

He mumbled to himself as the earlier images kept appearing in his mind.

“The question is, has my Arcana Replication undergone the Second Arcana Awakening?”

He could now see the mysterious dimension that he had not seen previously.

Did that mean his Arcana Replication’s Second Awakening had been successful?

“I’ll try it again when I go back.”

He rinsed his mouth with water, then dug out the rest of the Crystal Demonic Orchids, and kept them in the dimensional pockets.

There were three Crystal Demonic Orchids growing here. He had swallowed one, leaving him with two. They were good stuff.

The Crystal Demonic Orchids were Premium Treasure of Heaven and Earth, each worth 50 billion dollars and 500 contribution points.

Two of them were worth a total of 100 billion dollars and 1,000 contribution points. Hence, they could be sold if they were not needed.

That meant he could make a handsome profit again.

“How nice if this happens every day!”

Ling Jiu muttered, then checked his cell for time.

He was shocked. It was February 10, Saturday, 09:31.

“Saturday? Today is already Saturday?”

Ling Jiu was wide-eyed. “After taking a Crystal Demonic Orchid, time has flown from Friday morning to Saturday morning? Darn-it! I screwed up big time, wasting a day of time!”

He was upset about losing a good whole day.

But it was water under the bridge, no point crying over spilled milk. All he could do now was make the best of the remaining time by killing as many Class-6 Direbeasts as possible.

“I have got to hurry!”

…

At the end of the day, he dragged his exhausted body back to the training camp, and handed over the Direbeasts. When he checked the time again, it was exactly 18:00.

“Phew! I’m exhausted!”

He almost slumped on the ground. After hunting in overdrive mode to make up the lost time, he was worn out. But at least he recovered some lost ground.

“I did my best. Hope the result won’t be so bad!”

He exhaled, then headed toward his hostel. Right then, something surprised him when a trainee walked past.

Name: Emmanuel Fettes

Race: Human

Arcana: X-Ray Vision (awakened, replicable), Metal Manipulation (awakened, replicable)

Ling Jiu was struck dumb.

Did that mean his Arcana Replication was usable again? He thought there was still half a month to go before the cooling-off period expired.

Besides, he did not have physical contact with the target. Yet he could read his info?

While he was in a daze, that trainee had walked away, and the golden text in his mind’s eyes disappeared.

He picked up his pace to catch up with that trainee. Coming within five meters of that trainee, the golden text of his Arcana Replication popped up again.

Name: Emmanuel Fettes

Race: Human

Arcana: X-Ray Vision (awakened, replicable), Metal Manipulation (awakened, replicable)

“Holy moly! I can do remote detection now?”

He was incredibly excited. “The cooling-off period should not have expired, but I can use my Arcana Replication. What does this mean? This means my Arcana Replication has become stronger—not only that I can replicate an arcana remotely, the cooling-off period is also shortened.

“Cool! The Crystal Demonic Orchid is indeed a natural Deep Awakening potion. I made it! I have got to go back, find the trainees’ information, and choose a suitable arcana!”

He hurried back to his hostel and saw Shi Gang sitting in front of the computer.

“Oh, you’re back, Ling Jiu!” Shi Gang let out a smile at seeing him.

“Yea, I am back!”

He dropped himself on the bed. “How was your day, Shi Gang? I mean the hunting.” His voice was listless.

“Not that you don’t know me. I could kill Class-Six Direbeasts with my flame, but doing it alone is too dangerous. I had to be careful with every step.” Shi Gang forced a smile. “What I got from the last three days of hunting is less than when we were in a team.”

“I see.”

Ling Jiu gave a nod of acknowledgement.

Shi Gang’s flame was extremely lethal, but his self-defense was just not up to snuff.

If a pissed-off Class-6 Direbeast targeted him, he would be a dead man.

A mage-like arcanist like Shi Gang was too reliant on teammates. He needed someone tougher to protect him.

“How about you?” Shi Gang asked.

“Barely get by!” Ling Jiu shook his head. “By the way, what are you looking at?”

“The personal details of the trainees.”

Shi Gang explained. “I am looking for someone to form a team with me. I can’t help it with my arcana.”

“Personal details of the trainees?” Ling Jiu cocked an eyebrow, looking surprised. “You have their personal details? Where did you steal it from?”

“I don’t need to steal.”

Shi Gang rolled his eyes. “The trainee list has been pasted on the company’s website, complete with the details of trainee!”

“…”

‘Ling Jiu!’
