After sharing their experience, everyone's strength improved significantly; now the Gods Guild hardly has anyone below level 50.

Translation: "After sharing the experience, everyone's strength increased significantly; now there are hardly any players under level 50 left in the entire Gods Guild."

Check: "Gods Guild" is "Gods Guild"? Not in glossary; but it's a guild name. Should we translate? "Gods Guild" = "Gods Guild". Not in glossary, but it's a guild name. According to rules, we should translate meaningful names. So "Gods Guild". However we have "World Guild" glossary as World Guild. So "Gods Guild" is different. We'll translate as "Gods Guild". Ensure we keep meaning.

Thus line: "After sharing the experience, everyone's strength increased significantly; now there are hardly any players under level 50 left in the entire Gods Guild."

Everyone has undergone second job advancement, meaning the game has entered its second stage; player growth will gradually slow, yet they now have the strength to explore the game world!

Translation: "Everyone being second job advancement means the game has entered its second stage; player growth will gradually slow, but they now have the strength to explore the game world!"

Note: "second job advancement" = second job/class change. We'll keep as "second job advancement". Could also be "2nd class". We'll use "second job advancement". Keep exclamation.

Xiao Feng and the others returned to the guild's storage and began dividing the loot.

Translation: "Xiao Feng and the others returned to the base warehouse and began dividing the loot."

Previously, Shen Di had already given him 20 million offline as payment, just like Candle Dragon did, so Xiao Feng didn't ask for much this time.

Translation: "Before, Shen Di had already given him 20 million offline as payment, just like Chu Long did, so Xiao Feng didn't ask for much this time."

Note: "gave him 20 million offline as payment" means "gave him 20 million offline as payment". We'll translate as "Shen Di had already given him 20 million offline as payment". Keep.

Finally, he picked a few skill books suitable for his friends and gave them to Li Li, Zhang Fan, and Lucky Cat to study.

Translation: "Finally, he picked a few skill books suitable for his friends and gave them respectively to Li Li, Zhang Fan, and Xing Yun Miao to study."

He himself only took a permanent +50 Constitution mythic potion and a rare skill book, Mirror Image.

Translation: "He himself only took a bottle of mythic potion granting permanent +50 Constitution, and a rare skill book, Mirror Image Technique."

Mirror Image: a third‑job mage skill that instantly creates two mirror images, swapping places with a randomly chosen one; the mirror images act normally like the main body but have no attack power, their HP fixed at 1 point (displayed as the main body's HP), they automatically dissipate upon taking damage, can last up to 30 seconds, with a 120‑second cooldown.

Note: Chinese includes "It automatically dissipates after being attacked." We'll translate.

Translation: "【Mirror Image Technique】: Third‑job mage skill; instantly creates two mirror images that swap places with a random one. The mirror images act normally like the main body but have no attack power, and their HP is fixed at 1 point (displayed as the main body's HP). They automatically dissipate when attacked, lasting up to 30 seconds, with a 120‑second cooldown."

We need to keep the bracket? The line includes the skill name in brackets. We'll keep as "【Mirror Image Technique】:" maybe.

This skill is interesting; it has no offensive power, but it can create a confusing effect.

Translation: "This skill is interesting; it has little offensive power, but it can create a confusing effect."

Before today, Xiao Feng would never have considered such a 'trash skill'.

Translation: "Before today, Xiao Feng would not have looked at this kind of 'trash skill'."

However, after recognizing the strength of Sword Slaying the Heavens, Xiao Feng felt it would be wise to learn this skill from the super expert who could instantly defeat him even without a shield.

Translation: "But after realizing the strength of Sword Slaying the Heavens, Xiao Feng thought it would be wise to learn it against that super expert who could instantly kill him even without a shield."

In a dangerous situation, at least he can swap places with his mirror image to dodge an attack, making it a half‑decent life‑saving skill.

Translation: "In real danger, at least he could swap places with a clone to dodge an attack, making it a half‑decent life‑saving skill."

"The guild defense battle is over now; it's time to see what a level‑150 legendary dungeon looks like," Candle Dragon suggested.

Translation: "\"The defense battle is over now; it's time to see what a level‑150 legendary dungeon looks like. \" Chu Long suggested."

"Yeah, once Shen Di finishes arranging the distribution of the guild battle rewards, we'll set off," Xiao Feng said.

Translation: "\"Yeah, once Shen Di arranges the distribution of the guild's spoils, we'll set out. \" Xiao Feng said."

The previously agreed time was about half an hour after the guild defense battle ended, reserved for Shen Di to handle matters and wait for the team to gather.

Translation: "The previously set time was about half an hour after the defense battle ended, reserved for Shen Di to handle matters and for the team members to gather."

"I'll send a message to World Unbeatable and War Heaven," Candle Dragon said.

Translation: "\"I'll send a message to Invincible Under Heaven and Zhan Tian. \" Chu Long said."

This dungeon will involve four factions, plus Xiao Feng, Xiao Dao, and five other solo players.

Translation: "For this dungeon, there will be four factions in total, plus Xiao Feng, Xiao Dao, and five other solo players participating."

Note: "plus Xiao Feng, Xiao Dao, and five other solo players" means "plus Xiao Feng and Xiao Dao etc. five solo players". We'll translate as "plus Xiao Feng, Xiao Dao, and five other solo players".

Candle Dragon contacted War Heaven and World Unbeatable.

Translation: "Chu Long contacted Zhan Tian and Invincible Under Heaven."

The former immediately responded to the call, gathering several experts from the Conquest Guild and heading to Giant Elephant City to assemble.

Translation: "The former immediately responded to the call, gathering a few experts from the Conquest Guild and heading to Giant Elephant City to assemble."

World Unbeatable, however, said their guild defense battle hadn't finished yet, so they couldn't spare anyone and asked everyone to wait a bit longer.

Translation: "Invincible Under Heaven said their defense battle hadn't finished yet, so they couldn't spare anyone for now and asked everyone to wait another half hour."

They had also been planning to wait half an hour, so Candle Dragon readily agreed.

Translation: "They were already planning to wait half an hour, so Chu Long readily agreed."

"I wonder how the defense battle is going over at World Unbeatable..."

Translation: "\"I wonder how the defense battle is going over at World Guild... \""

Xiao Feng said with interest.

Translation: "Xiao Feng said, intrigued."

"Haha, I'll go ask around."

Translation: "\"Haha, I'll go ask around. \""

Candle Dragon, with his extensive connections, immediately inquired through guild channels.

Translation: "Chu Long has extensive connections and immediately inquired through the guild members' channels."

After a moment, he said: "Rumor has it the fight was brutal; their average level is only around 45, with just over 5,000 second‑job players. Facing level‑100 elite monsters and bosses is extremely tough for them. Although Sword Slaying the Heavens is powerful, one person can't handle too many minor foes—he can only help clear bosses and hold the line. Compared to Xiao Feng's little brother, the effect is worlds apart."

Translation: "After a moment, he said: \"Rumor has it the fight was brutal; their average level is only around 45, with just over 5,000 second‑job players. Facing 100‑level elite monsters and bosses is extremely tough. Although Sword Slaying the Heavens is strong, one person can't handle many small fry, only helping to clear bosses. Its field‑control effect pales compared to Xiao Feng's little brother—off by a hundred and eighty thousand miles. \""

Note: "Xiao Feng's little brother" (a term of endearment like "bro") translates to "Xiao Feng's little brother". The idiom "worlds apart" translates to "off by a hundred and eighty thousand miles".

"As expected."

Translation: "\"As expected. \""

Shen Di said from the side, a faint unusual smile on his face: "Back when we fought the Dragon Soul Guild Defense, I had roughly calculated that to win this event we'd need at least 200,000 level‑40 players. World Unbeatable can only muster about 120,000 members at once, and even adding some second‑job players wouldn't be enough. Without Sword Slaying the Heavens, they'd surely lose."

Translation: "Shen Di said from the side, a faint strange smile on his face: \"Back when we fought the Dragon Soul Guard Battle, I roughly calculated that to win this event we'd need at least 200,000 level‑40 players. Over at World Guild they can only muster about 120,000 members at once, and even adding some second‑job players would be very difficult. Without Sword Slaying the Heavens, they'd surely lose. \""

The guild defense battle is still extremely difficult for guilds at this stage.

Translation: "The base defense battle is still extremely difficult for the guild at this stage."

Even Dragon Soul and the Gods Guild, despite having many second‑job players now, could still have their walls breached and enemies flood into the council hall.

Translation: "Even Dragon Soul and the Gods Guild, despite having many second‑job players now, could still have their walls breached and enemies storm the council hall."

Only someone as absurdly overpowered as Xiao Feng here can easily annihilate legendary bosses and sweep away high‑level monsters.

Translation: "Only someone as outrageously powerful as Xiao Feng here can easily instant‑kill legendary bosses and sweep through high‑level monsters."

For any other guild, to safely complete the defense battle they'd need everyone around level 70 and at least 80,000 players online simultaneously.

Translation: "For any other guild, to safely clear the defense battle they'd need everyone around level 70 and at least 80,000 players online simultaneously."

After Shen Di finished speaking, he went off to handle the post‑event welfare rewards.

Translation: "After Shen Di finished speaking, he went busy handling the welfare rewards after the event ended."

The leadership of a major guild isn't just him; he doesn't need to do everything himself, just needs to tell the other executives the rough distribution plan.

Translation: "The big guild's management isn't just him; he doesn't need to do everything himself, only needing to tell the remaining executives the rough distribution plan."

Thus, after only ten or so minutes, Shen Di finished his busy work, gathered seven core combatants, and met up with Xiao Feng and the others.

Translation: "Thus, after only ten or so minutes, Shen Di finished his work, gathered seven core combatants, and met up with Xiao Feng and the others."

"Let's go, to Giant Elephant City."

Translation: "\"Let's go, to Giant Elephant City. \""

The group formed a team and teleported to the city where the dungeon is located.

Translation: "The group formed a team and teleported to the city where the dungeon is located."

Upon arriving at Giant Elephant City, they met up with War Heaven and the others, bringing the team to exactly thirty members.

Translation: "Upon arriving at Giant Elephant City, they met up with Zhan Tian and the others, bringing the team to exactly thirty people."

Over at World Unbeatable, the defense battle still wasn't finished; the last two waves of monsters were about to break through the walls, many had invaded the guild's interior and were causing havoc, the situation was critical, and they couldn't spare anyone to come run the dungeon.

Translation: "At World Guild's side, the defense battle still isn't over; the last two waves of monsters are about to break through the walls, many have invaded the base and are causing havoc, the situation is critical, and they cannot spare anyone temporarily to join the dungeon."

Although they hadn't planned to help anyway, they were aware of Xiao Feng's strength and thought they could at least leech a bit of experience and rewards from a boss or two.

Translation: "Although they hadn't planned to help anyway, they knew Xiao Feng's strength and thought they could at least leech some experience and rewards from a boss or two."

So they still didn't want to miss out on it.

Translation: "So they still didn't want to miss out on this."

While waiting for the others, Xiao Feng, bored, tested out the effects of his newly learned skill.

Translation: "While waiting for the others, Xiao Feng, bored, began testing the effect of his newly learned skill."

The group waited on the open ground around the teleportation array.

Translation: "The group waited on the open ground around the teleportation array."

He took out his staff, stood at the edge of the somewhat empty plaza, and said to his friends, "Old Li, Old Zhang, take a look at my new skill—can you tell which one is my real body?"

Translation: "He took out his staff, stood at the edge of the slightly empty square, and said to his friends, \"Old Li, Old Zhang, take a look at my new skill—can you tell which one is my real body? \""

Then, with a thought, his third‑job skill Mirror Image activated instantly.

Translation: "Then, with a thought, his third‑job skill Mirror Image Technique activated instantly."

Humm~

Translation: "Humm~"

At the moment the skill activated, Xiao Feng's body trembled slightly, his silhouette stretching left and right as if it were splitting apart.

As the skill activated, Xiao Feng's body shuddered slightly, his silhouette stretching left and right as if it were splitting.

Translation: "At the moment the skill activated, Xiao Feng's body trembled slightly, his silhouette stretching left and right as if splitting apart."

The next second…

Translation: "The next second……"

Whoa!

Translation: "Whoa!"

Suddenly, countless figures appeared along the edges of the empty plaza!

Translation: "Suddenly, the edges of the empty square were filled with countless silhouettes!"

Each of them wore azure‑blue mage robes, held a staff, and was remarkably handsome.

Translation: "Each one wore a deep‑blue magic robe, held a staff, and was remarkably handsome."

Their appearance was completely identical to Xiao Feng's, even their status showed "Xiao Feng, Level 107 Weather Mage," making it impossible to tell them apart.

Translation: "Their appearance was completely identical to Xiao Feng's, even the info displayed showed \"Xiao Feng, Level 107 Weather Mage\", giving no clue as to which was real."

"What the hell??"

Translation: "\"What the heck?? \""

"What's going on? There are so many Xiao Fengs!"

Translation: "\"What's going on? So many Xiao Fengs! \""

"Ah!"

Translation: "\"Ah! \""

Seeing this, everyone present was stunned.

Translation: "Seeing this, everyone present was stunned."

What was supposed to be a laughing moment instantly fell into dead silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Translation: "What had been a chatty, laughing scene instantly fell into dead silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop."

Lucky Cat blinked its eyes, stunned, and said: "The skill book said it creates two copies, but you… this is at least thousands, right?"

Translation: "Xing Yun Miao blinked her eyes repeatedly and said dumbly, \"The skill book said it creates two clones, but you… this is at least a few thousand, right? \""

Looking around, the entire teleportation square was filled with Xiao Fengs.

Translation: "Looking around, the entire teleportation square was packed solid with Xiao Fengs."

It wasn't just a few thousand—their numbers easily exceeded ten thousand!

Translation: "It's not just a few thousand; the number definitely exceeded ten thousand!"

At this moment, not only were the people dumbfounded, but even Xiao Feng himself was stunned.

The number of Mirror Technique clones unexpectedly triggered the "Ten Thousand Times Amplification" effect, with the total mirror count reaching 20,000!

Before, neither the Levitation Technique nor Instant Lightning had been amplified, and he thought that non-damage-type magic was not affected by the Supergod Talent.

I never expected that this newly learned skill would deviate from expectations, displaying such a shocking effect!

At this moment, players near the Teleportation Array in Giant Elephant City were all completely bewildered by these identical clones.

"107th-level Weather Mage Xiao Feng, HP over 30,000…… What the heck is this? How come there are so many Xiao Fengs?"

The passerby looked utterly bewildered.

Xiao Feng not only had many clones, but each one was lifelike, just like the real thing.

Aside from being unable to speak, they could perform various actions; without checking each one's information individually, it was impossible to locate the real body.

"Wow, what's this skill good for?"

Even Xiao Feng was dumbfounded.

Two clones can be used for position-swapping to save one's life, an effect similar to Instant Lightning, except it cannot remove control effects.

But with 20,000 clones, even he himself would be blinded!

Although enemies will be affected and unable to find him, he himself will also be squeezed so badly he can't move, unable to go anywhere.

Um……

If one had to speak of its use, it could probably be used to disguise as an army to scare off wild monsters!

After 30 seconds, all the clones dissipated, and Xiao Feng's true body appeared at the center of the Teleportation Array.

Zhang Fan said in a low voice: "Old Xiao, one is enough; any more and the bosses couldn't handle it……"
