Chapter 242

Tang Zheng observed the appearance of the shadow clone seriously; it was indeed exactly the same as the caster himself, but it was much weaker in terms of aura.

Even without using the ability of "Ninjutsu: Detection," he could perceive the intensity of the shadow clone's aura.

"The aura is very weak; inheriting 1/4 of the level is about right."

"The most important thing is that I can only clone one at a time, not as good as that guy Naruto, even though the name is the same Ninjutsu."

"Can't blame the maid group's bug girl for not paying much attention to this skill when facing it."

Tang Zheng muttered, raised his finger and poked the shadow clone's cheek:

"Oh, the touch of a real person. This point is not bad."

"Can it speak?"

Looking at the shadow clone that had been silent while being poked on the cheek by him, a look of realization appeared in Tang Zheng's eyes.

"Looks like it can't speak."

Tang Zheng was somewhat disappointed; in this way, the space for operation was reduced a lot, and then his gaze straightened:

"Then, let's start."

The moment the words fell!

The shadow clone instantly raised its fist and slammed it toward Tang Zheng's chin in an uppercut manner.

The fist broke the air, emitting a hiss, looking full of power.

Facing this punch.

Tang Zheng didn't dodge at all, letting this seemingly heavy blow hit his chin.

Bang!

The fist contacting the chin made a muffled sound, forming a burst of energy between the two.

However.

Tang Zheng didn't even mention being repelled; his head didn't move a bit, but his eyes narrowed imperceptibly: "1/4 physical attack level, can't even break the basic defense."

"But being able to feel the force is the effect of the passive ability of 'Aura of Courage.' It seems passive abilities can be used."

Whoosh!

Seeing that the blow didn't work, the shadow clone quickly retreated a step, its figure moving horizontally to the left with agility, swinging its leg in a side kick, attacking Tang Zheng's lower back position.

Within a few breaths!

The shadow clone kept changing positions swiftly, attacking various weak points of the human body on Tang Zheng, but except for the first strike which had passive blessing and caused a critical hit effect.

The remaining various dazzling attacks had no effect at all.

Tang Zheng didn't care about this point; instead, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face: "Possesses quite good combat awareness, can conduct independent combat."

"This point is about the same as 'Soul of the Heroic Spirit'."

With a thought in his mind.

The shadow clone immediately stopped attacking and returned to Tang Zheng's front.

"It can attack on its own, and the caster can also control it with subjective consciousness."

Tang Zheng had now figured out the shadow clone's action mode, which overall satisfied him.

"Release profession skills to take a look."

The shadow clone stood in place without moving.

"Profession-type skills cannot be used at all, and 'Physical Armament' is even more impossible. Counted as expected; even 'Soul of the Heroic Spirit' has most profession skills that cannot be used."

"Use martial arts."

"En? Martial arts can be used; this is surprising... No, the attack intensity is too low."

Tang Zheng let the shadow clone stop again, his brows slightly furrowed; it couldn't be called disappointment, but there were no surprises either.

"No wonder 'Shadow Clone Technique,' which is clearly a profession skill, only has a one-hour cooldown and can be used continuously."

"In the game, it should exist entirely as a role for assistance, harassment, detection, and confusing the line of sight."

A series of experiments.

Made Tang Zheng extinguish the option of using the shadow clone as a melee combat character; he didn't have a thief-type profession build, and the shadow clone couldn't exert the characteristics of a pure assassin.

Whoosh—

The research just now had already reached the time limit for the shadow clone's existence, and it turned into a pool of black shadow and dissipated.

Seeing this, Tang Zheng didn't care, quietly waiting for the cooldown time to pass.

One hour passed in a flash.

"Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique!"

Tang Zheng's shadow squirmed again, and the shadow clone emerged from the shadow:

"Second experiment, magic."

Besides inheriting the caster's "Agility" value, the shadow clone also had the "Magic Power" value, which was also the point he cared about most.

The shadow clone's feet moved, quickly pulling away the distance, standing at a position ten meters away.

"【Ninja】 profession, in 'Yggdrasil,' is a high-level thief-type profession that can only be acquired when above level 60, belonging to a pure thief-type profession build."

"Whether it's game players or Tina and others in the other world, the magic power of thief-type professions is not high, and the thief's own ability is in melee combat."

Tang Zheng's eyes brightened slightly, staring at the shadow clone in the distance, "But for me, the operation space is big."

"Lightning Ball!"

"Lightning Ball!" The next moment, Tang Zheng and the shadow clone released magic at the same time.

The electric ball emitting blue light quickly condensed in front of the two, turning into a blue stream of light, slamming toward the opposite direction.

Bang!

The two magic attacks slammed together, emitting a muffled thunder-like loud noise; the situation where the two magic attacks canceled each other out, which he imagined, did not appear.

The "Lightning Ball" released by Tang Zheng, after a brief stalemate, easily suppressed the "Lightning Ball" released by the shadow clone, continuing to slam toward the shadow clone's direction.

"Dodge!"

Such a situation made Tang Zheng startled, and he hurriedly gave the instruction.

The shadow clone quickly dodged to one side; fortunately, it inherited the complete "Agility" value, but it was still somewhat embarrassed.

"Can release magic, why is the gap so big?"

Tang Zheng ignored the shadow clone's embarrassed posture, somewhat surprised and puzzled, but soon realized where the problem lay:

"Almost forgot, it's the gap in the 'Magic Attack' value; although it looks like the same magic, the high-level magic released by the shadow clone should only maintain the lowest intensity of the magic itself."

Tang Zheng's mouth twitched, took a deep breath, and cheered up again: "Fortunately, it didn't only master the magic of the attack system."

"Hope, don't let me down next!"

(No errors in the content at a glance!)

The shadow clone's body surface again emitted magic power fluctuations, and the next instant, holy white light condensed in mid-air.

Fourth-Tier Angel Summoning: Monitor Dominion Angel!

A tall angel about three meters high, with a circular golden shield in its left hand and a silver short hammer in its right hand, appeared.

With Tang Zheng's current strength level, he could summon a Sixth-Tier angel, but it was just an experiment, and there was no need to summon too strong an angel.

Tang Zheng's white sleeve flicked, not using a scroll, but activating his own magic power to summon the angel.

The same Monitor Dominion Angel appeared on the scene!

Boom!

Two Monitor Dominion Angels rushed forward at the same time, colliding in mid-air, both sides waving silver short hammers, and the golden round shields held in their hands constantly waving and attacking.

Every collision produced an astonishing roar, yet neither could take down the other.

The intensity of the two angels was clearly exactly the same.

"Since pure attack-type magic is affected by the 'Magic Attack' value, summoning-type magic doesn't have such a restriction."

"The intensity of summoned magical beasts is fixed, unless there is a related specialized profession," Tang Zheng smiled.

If "Soul of the Heroic Spirit" was a pure combat-type clone, then "Shadow Clone Technique" could be used as a summoning-type magic caster.

Additionally.

Auxiliary-type magic would not be affected when used by the shadow clone.

Time is up!

The shadow clone dissipated into a black shadow, and immediately after, the summoned Monitor Dominion Angel also disappeared together.

This made Tang Zheng, who was just satisfied, stiffen his expression: "Sure enough, there is no bug."

"The two-minute time is still too short, simply unable to support a complete battle; if the shadow clone's time could be extended, it could completely be calculated as an independent combat power."

Tang Zheng pondered, somewhat regrettably thinking.

Accompanied by the sky in the distance brightening up, the experiment on "Shadow Clone" finally came to an end.

Although there were many shortcomings, there was also a lot of room for operation.

The time that followed.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Tang Zheng stayed in the inn again and did not appear.

Except for the "Rock" team visiting once, the entire inn did not receive or meet any outside guests.

And as nominal members of the "Free Will" team, the Witch of the Green Leaf and Enri were more closely active with the outside world; besides buying alchemy materials, they were selling "regeneration potions."

The low price and excellent healing effect easily triggered the rush to buy by the commoners and numerous adventurers in the Royal Capital.

The high-level "regeneration potion" worth ten gold coins was even described as in short supply, not to mention the very small quantity sold every day.

According to rumors, the Adventurer's Guild possessed a certain quantity of high-level "regeneration potions."

New Calendar Year 4.

December 31st.

Day of Prayer.

The entire Royal Capital was shrouded in a cheerful, holy atmosphere; the stone slab ground of the main street had already been cleaned spotlessly these past few days.

The streets on both sides were decorated with many flower carts filled with fresh flowers, adding a scent of flowers to the entire air.

Major shops, streets, and even in front of the doors of the public were decorated with cloth in six colors as decoration.

Some had a single color hanging in front of the door, while others hung several colors, and each piece of cloth had the pattern of a "Holy Seal."

These six colors naturally symbolized the "Six Great Gods."

Tang Zheng stood in front of the window on the second floor of the inn, looking at the lively scene on the street outside, slightly dazed.

Dong! Dong!

Located in the center of the Royal Capital, the temple, which had always had a weak sense of presence, rang the bell chime transmitted by magic at this moment.

"Unknowingly, I have been in this world for more than half a year," Tang Zheng recovered and said softly.
