Chapter 321: Burned to ashes

"Hmph~" Hao gave a cold snort; he would not watch Ash get covered in wounds by [Sticky Mucus].

Hao extended his finger, and a bolt of lightning flew out, defeating Ditto's [Sticky Mucus] and eliminating it.

"Ditto, don't resist anymore, just obediently admit defeat." Hao said coldly.

Ditto gritted its teeth, looking at Hao, thinking to itself that if it couldn't defeat Ash, wouldn't it be losing face?

"No, I will definitely be able to defeat you!" Ditto shouted, continuing to cast [Sticky Mucus] to entangle Ash.

Cynthia and the others saw Ash being grabbed by Ditto again and felt relieved; Ditto had won after all, and Ash had fallen into a disadvantage, firmly controlled by Ditto.

After Ash was entangled by [Sticky Mucus], the chakra throughout his body could not circulate, and he couldn't even use [Rasengan], completely losing the power to resist and being trapped by [Sticky Mucus].

Ash was trapped by [Sticky Mucus] and could only watch helplessly as Ditto slowly approached him.

"No!" Ash cried out in grief. His body began to swell; he wanted to use [Explosion] to break free from Ditto's restraint.

"No, brother Ash, don't!" Seeing Ash's move, May was so scared that her face turned pale.

May's worry was correct; if Ash used [Explosion], the entire Academy City would suffer, and even Ash and May would be affected.

Seeing that Ash wanted to use his explosion ability, Ditto hurriedly stopped attacking and retracted its [Sticky Mucus].

Ash regained his freedom and immediately used [Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique] on Ditto.

Whoosh~

Scorching flames soared into the sky, burning Ditto to ashes.

"Ah!" Cynthia was shocked; Ditto had been killed by Ash!

"Di... Ditto is dead!" Seeing Ditto killed by Ash, May shouted in a panic.

Although Ditto wasn't annoying, it wasn't likable either, so neither May nor Hao liked it, but they hadn't expected it to be finished off by Ash.

"How could this happen?" Misty was also stunned. Ditto was dead, so who would tell them where their brother had gone?

"Where is brother Ash?" May looked around and found that Ash was no longer in his original spot.

"Brother Ash is gone!" May said anxiously.

Hao frowned, thinking about Ash's whereabouts. He had just heard Ash say these words: "Misty, May, Hao, Ling, Misty, Ash."

"Bad! Ditto's blood mist bomb can confuse people. Ash has been affected by Ditto's [Confusion]." Hao shouted.

"Damn it! Brother Ash must have been confused by Ditto." May said angrily. She wanted to find Ditto.

May left the place, heading toward the field where Ash and Ditto had fought, but was blocked by Hao.

Hao said in a deep voice: "May, I know what you want to do, but Ash is confused now."

May shook her head, insisting: "I must go save brother Ash."

"May, listen to me. If you rush in without regard for your own safety, Ash's confusion will deepen, and you will never see Ash again." Hao advised: "Besides, Ash is confused now, and regardless of whether it's his fault or not, he must take responsibility. If you really want to save him, the only way is to tell the truth and let Ash take responsibility himself."

"I can't do that!" May rejected Hao.

Although May's personality was soft, her heart was strong. If she wasn't willing to take responsibility, Ash would definitely not pay attention to her anymore.

"May, Hao is right. You can't just go in; otherwise, Ash will definitely resent you for it." Cynthia said.

"But, brother Ash is trapped inside..." May said.

Hao said indifferently: "Ash is not a fool; he will definitely figure out how big a mistake he has made."

Hao knew that Ditto was very smart; it wouldn't give up easily and would definitely struggle hard to escape Ditto's control.

"Hmm!" Seeing that what Hao said made sense, May nodded. She also knew that if she rushed in now, it might cause trouble for Ash.

Both May and Hao knew that Ash was a courageous man; he would definitely not give up on himself, and they shouldn't act recklessly either, otherwise, it would only add to the trouble.

Cynthia and May also left the academy; Ash's incident needed to be reported to the teachers.

When Ash was tied up by Ditto, he had already made up his mind; he wanted to prove to others through his own efforts that he was a man with the strength to protect his sisters.

Ditto didn't just trap Ash; it even left some special marks on Ash's body. This was the mark of its unique [Clay Clone Technique].

[Clay Clone Technique] was a very wonderful technique that could divide its own clay to form various shapes.

In this way, as long as there was an opportunity, it could hide itself in the clay, making it difficult for others to detect its existence.

Moreover, this [Clay Clone] was not ordinary clay; it was a piece of clay that possessed life.

"Ditto, what do you want to do?" Ash asked vigilantly, because Ditto's appearance had changed; it had turned from the previous Ditto into the appearance of a high-level squad member, and two legs had grown out of its back.

"Hahaha!" Ditto laughed wildly and said: "Since you want to challenge me, then come on!"

Ditto's mouth sprayed countless clay flying stones, so dense that they were impossible to defend against.

"Hmph, petty tricks!" Ash said disdainfully, the [Blizzard] in his hand emitting a strong white light.

"Snowstorm blow!" Ash shouted, and a powerful cold current instantly blew away the countless clay flying stones and swept toward Ditto.

"What?!" Ditto's face changed drastically, and it hurriedly dodged.

Boom! A hailstone struck Ditto's body, directly shattering its outer shell, causing it immense pain.

"Damn brat, you actually dare to destroy my [Clay Avatar], I want you to pay the price!" Ditto roared, condensed many more clay flying stones again, and then attacked Ash frantically.

"Ash, run!" Hao hurriedly reminded.

"It's too late!" Ash gritted his teeth and said.

Ash felt a dangerous aura coming from his side. Taking advantage of Ash's moment of distraction, Ditto kicked out fiercely, striking Ash in the abdomen, and then punched Ash in the chest.

Bang! Ash was knocked flying, and a sharp pain came from his stomach.

"Ugh..." Ash spat out a mouthful of blood; he had been punched hard by Ditto.

Seeing Ash spit blood, Ditto revealed a cruel smile: "Ash, do you still have the strength to resist now?"

"Hehe..." Ash wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly: "You are indeed very strong, but I'm no pushover either!"

Ditto was startled. Ash suddenly erupted with a powerful aura; this aura was full of dominance and majesty, as if a king had descended, making one fearful.
