Was I… dead during those three minutes?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But when I use Phantasm Parasitism, I’m also technically in a ‘death state’! And memories from that time can still be successfully recorded into the Memory Scroll! So why are these three minutes missing?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face looked like he’d seen a ghost, and he was even worried that Duoe might suspect his loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to pledge his allegiance again and swear he didn’t tamper with the Memory Scroll,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duoe beat him to it and displayed another image on the Duel Machine’s screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was footage of Wu Ying inside the Duel Machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, it looked just like what was recorded in the Memory Scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the moment came—when he got one-shotted by Jiang Ye…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ying’s physical body actually disappeared from inside the Duel Machine!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That scene shocked Wu Ying even more—it practically made him question reality itself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed hard and stared at the Duel Machine screen in disbelief:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Th-this??!

Absolutely impossible!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ying was truly doubting his entire existence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he was still disguised as Jiang Ye, his entire face scrunched up—confused, horrified, even a little mentally unhinged!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, a lightbulb went off in his head, and he reached a conclusion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone must have tampered with my Duel Machine! That’s gotta be it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That kid must have turned a member of the Duoe Organization, then had them tamper with my Duel Machine!

Use my Duel Machine this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ying adjusted his mood, let out a slow breath, and said heavily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third match—my goal is to get one-shotted again, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"……\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye matched with Wu Ying for the third time during his 20-win streak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately felt something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this time, after Wu Ying returned, he had stayed in Jiang Ye’s form the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant the cooldown for Replica Fusion hadn’t been refreshed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, if he wanted to beat Wu Ying using Replica Skills again…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had two ideas—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was to use 【Replica Possession】 and 【Replica Swap】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that came with big risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Replica Possession】 would mean possessing the Main Body—he didn’t want to risk his real self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Replica Swap】 would bring an old player into the Beginner Apartment early, which was even riskier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second idea was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To trick Wu Ying into switching to another Phantasm identity, and then replicate him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, the cooldown for 【Replica Fusion】 would reset!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But during that process, Wu Ying might notice something’s off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye’s mind was racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Wu Ying wasn’t being arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just stared at him with a blank expression and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, go ahead and one-shot me again, I won’t resist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"……\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That line sounded both pitiful and kinda funny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye thought—was this basically a free win streak sponsored by Duoe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 20-win streak, how much did that just save him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Wu Ying’s attitude of “throwing the match,” another idea popped into his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, his No.2 Replica in the Duel Arena pretended to “gather power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, No.1 Replica in the Apartment ruins used the Phantom Lantern to create a Mirror Replica for the Blackened Replica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he fused the Mirror Replica into the No.2 Replica currently in the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The No.2 Replica raised a hand, and the whole Duel Arena was instantly engulfed in a Blood Mist Shroud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, multiple foggy white phantoms surged directly into Wu Ying’s body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Wu Ying vanished from the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the arena, the system announced Jiang Ye as the winner of the match!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in Jiang Ye’s mind, that familiar notification rang out again—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding!

Please select your win streak reward!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right! He won easily again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t use Idea One or Idea Two at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even use a Replica Skill—he fused a Blackened Replica and beat Wu Ying with sheer skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the key here was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ying acted like he was throwing the match and didn’t resist at all, letting Jiang Ye one-shot him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Jiang Ye’s legitimate one-shot win over Wu Ying wasn’t simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Wu Ying’s 【Phantasm Parasitism】 ability made normal methods ineffective for a real kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on Jiang Ye’s current lack of Glyph Pattern abilities, even if he killed Wu Ying, he would’ve ended up parasitized by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he fused the Mirror Replica of the Blackened Replica and used a Glyph Pattern ability to truly finish Wu Ying off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even give him the chance to parasite a shadow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A kill of this level should also be enough to break through Yang Wenchao’s “Resurrection.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye chuckled lightly and started choosing his 20-win reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three cards appeared—he casually picked the third.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once selected, the three rewards revealed themselves in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first card flipped over, and Jiang Ye’s eyes went wide instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On it was written:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Skill Upgrade Card】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Upgrades a skill (no higher than A-tier after upgrade)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy sh*t!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This card—he wanted it so badly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Replica Fusion was only D-tier!
