Chapter 128: Infinite Clones? Defeat! Part 4

"Come to think of it, Xiaoyu, you really look more and more like her." As Lin Tian sighed, a touch of sorrow grew within him.

Because as Lin Tian lay on the ground at this moment, looking at Lin Yu's face above, it was as if he saw his late wife.

Lin Yu's mother was named Lin Sinian, also of the Angel Clan, with an Angel martial soul.

In a fantasy world like the Douluo Continent, to ensure the purity of the family bloodline, many descendants of large clans basically marry within the clan, though not between direct blood relatives.

Large clans have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years and have nearly a thousand members; although they are all of one clan and share the same surname, the blood relationship between many members is very distant.

As long as they are not direct blood relatives, other collateral branches separated by more than three generations are not considered close kin.

Even in the Blue Star Huaxia Code, it is clearly stipulated that family members can marry after more than three generations.

The powerful clans on the Douluo Continent, such as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, the Single Attribute Four Great Clans, and the vast majority of sects, are all like this.

Lin Yu's mother was once the goddess and proud daughter of the younger generation of the Angel Clan; she was breathtakingly beautiful, possessed stunning talent, and was the strongest junior in the Angel Clan at that time.

She was even more talented than the current Angel Clan Leader, Tiantian, and was hailed as an Angel clansman who was expected to become a Titled Douluo back then.

Unfortunately, twelve years ago, shortly after giving birth to Lin Yu, Lin Sinian tragically fell during an external mission to eradicate a large evil Spirit Master force.

Lin Tian sealed the memories of his wife deep in his heart, unwilling to recall them, because his love for her was too deep.

But today, those memories of his late wife began to well up in his heart.

"Father, I truly cannot bear to strike at you, so I can only end this battle as quickly as possible."

"Good lad, your father isn't so easily defeated!" Lin Tian pulled himself together and stood up once again.

"Come again!!"

"Fine! Fourth Spirit Skill, Elemental Clone!!"

Lin Yu released seven clones in one go, instantly making Lin Tian feel immense pressure.

Because although Lin Yu's clones only had a single attribute, they completely inherited one hundred percent of Lin Yu's soul power intensity, physical strength, and the power buffs from his soul bones and external spirit bones, though they lacked soul bone skills.

But even so, every one of Lin Yu's clones possessed combat power nearly equal to a Titled Douluo.

Yet what was shocking next was that Lin Yu's seven clones actually released their Fourth Spirit Skill simultaneously.

"Fourth Spirit Skill, Elemental Clone!!"

The clones also released clones!

"What! The clones can actually use the Fourth Spirit Skill? No way, is that even possible!!"

Lin Tian, Qian Daoliu, and the other Seven Great Elders were all very astonished.

The Fire Clone then cloned another Fire Clone.

The Water Clone then cloned a Water Clone; all seven clones simultaneously cloned a sub-clone.

Lin Yu suddenly appeared with fourteen clones!

"Yes! I remember now, Lin Yu once said that his Fourth Spirit Skill, Elemental Clone, could release his First and Second Spirit Skills, and for every Spirit Ring the main body added, the clones could use one more spirit skill."

"Lin Yu is now a six-ring Soul Emperor, so his clones can use up to the Fourth Spirit Skill!"

"Wait! If that's the case, then which spirit skill can the clones' clones use!!" Guangling asked curiously.

"Lin Yu, that should be impossible!"

Their analysis was correct; the sub-clones released by the clones would have two fewer spirit skills than the clones, but other configurations remained the same.

When Lin Yu's number of Spirit Rings reaches eight as a Spirit Douluo, the sub-clones can also perform a clone once more.

When Lin Yu reaches the God-level realm and possesses the Tenth Spirit Ring, he can add one more clone.

This means that Lin Yu with the ten-ring God-level can, through Elemental Clone, create clones, sub-clones, sub-sub-clones, and sub-sub-sub-clones—four levels of cloning, totaling 28 clones!

Although the level of the clones produced by the clones will gradually become weaker, if Lin Yu's strength continues to grow, and he becomes a God-level powerhouse in the future, even the fourth-tier clones would have the combat power of a deity!

"Damn, how is one supposed to fight this!"

Looking at the fourteen clones of Lin Yu in the sky, Lin Tian swallowed hard, unable to muster any fighting spirit.

One Lin Yu was already a fifty-fifty match for him in close combat; now that fourteen clones had appeared, wouldn't he just be beaten to a pulp in close combat!

"Attack!!"

Following the order from Lin Yu's main body, the fourteen clones charged at Lin Tian simultaneously.

"I'll risk it!!"

Lin Tian gritted his teeth and had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet them head-on.

But there was no doubt that Lin Tian could not withstand it at all; surrounded by Lin Yu's ten-plus clones, he was beaten back repeatedly.

Under such circumstances, without powerful area-of-effect skills, defeat was almost certain.

In an instant, Lin Tian fell completely into a disadvantage.

Qian Daoliu had already seen the outcome: "He's lost. Lin Tian won't last long; he will be defeated in three minutes at most."

Sure enough, after nearly three minutes, Lin Tian had already used his first eight spirit skills, and his state was reaching its limit.

He was panting heavily, his soul power and physical strength severely depleted.

Now, there was only the final wave left!

"Xiaoyu! This is your father's final strike!" Lin Tian took a deep breath, unleashed his strongest move, and made his final stand:

"Ninth Soul Skill, Myriad Zhang Flowing Light!!"

"Urghhh!" Lin Tian poured all his strength into it; a giant Angel phantom appeared behind him, wielding the Angel Spear to attack Lin Yu.

"Then let's decide the winner, Father!"

"Sixth Spirit Skill, Angel Titan Fist!"

Behind Lin Yu, an even larger Angel appeared, throwing a punch.

Boom, boom, boom!

The strongest powers of both sides collided for the final time.

After a stalemate that lasted for a full ten seconds, Lin Tian's soul power was exhausted, and he was injured by the remaining power of Lin Yu.

He held a long spear stuck into the ground, relying on the spear to barely support his body; otherwise, even standing would have been extremely difficult for him.

At this moment, Lin Yu's remaining clones also rushed over, but they all stopped when their power struck Lin Tian.

"The outcome has been decided, seven Element God lords; there is no need to insist on defeating the Assessment Officer, is there?" Lin Yu's true body looked toward the sky and said with a sharp expression.

A moment later, the transparent wall dissolved.

This also signaled that the battle had ended and the assessment was over.

"It's finally over..."

"I have lost..."

Lin Tian let out a long sigh of relief and withdrew his power; as the long spear vanished, his body began to tilt.

"Father!"

Just as Lin Tian was about to fall to the ground, Lin Yu's true body rushed over at the first opportunity to catch him, saying with a deep sense of apology: "I'm sorry, Father, I hurt you."

Lin Tian shook his head and stroked Lin Yu's left cheek with rare tenderness: "It's alright, Little Yu, you should have done this; if you hadn't been able to bring yourself to strike me and thus failed the assessment, then you would truly be letting me down!"
