I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1252

Chapter 1252: Chapter 1253: My Clone is So Impressive, It Practices on Its Own Chapter 1252: Chapter 1253: My Clone is So Impressive, It Practices on Its Own Xiao Lao Di: “???”

The shadow continued to seek death: “Are you mad? Honestly, I really want somebody to hit me.”

“Oh my, my temper, I can't stand this thing!”

Ergouzi became furious. On this journey, it was supposed to be the protagonist, how could it tolerate others provoking it, especially when the provocateur was such a minor clone. Spitting out a sharp blade from its mouth, it aimed at the shadow which had virtually no power to resist. The shadow's arm was severed at the base and chopped off, falling to the ground.

At the same time, the Attribute Points on Li Xiaobai's System panel surged.

[Attribute Points +3,000,000…]
[Attribute Points +3,000,000…]
[Attribute Points +3,000,000…]
“Stop!”

Li Xiaobai shuddered with fright, reached out his hand to grab the blade in his grasp, and at this moment, he finally understood the meaning outlined by this skill.

The damages he received would reflect on the clone, and vice versa. The damages the clone received would also reflect back on him. This was a double-edged sword. If it were just one clone, that might be fine, but if he summoned hundreds or thousands to be simultaneously attacked by a powerful entity, the various damages reflected back on his original body could potentially result in his demise.

“You weakling, you can't even take down this lord in one move!”

The shadow picked up its severed limb from the ground, reattached it, and recovered as if nothing had happened.

“I bought a watch last year; where did this thing come from, kid can you not put it away?”

Ergouzi became enraged once again. This sort of suicidal provocation was a first for it.

Li Xiaobai was speechless, took out a black robe and put it on the shadow's body. The roomy robe concealed its true appearance underneath.

“That should solve the problem. With this on, outsiders can't discern its original appearance anymore.”

The shadow seemed quite pleased with its new attire, nodded, and said, “Not a bad job, I'll take care of the aftermath for you. Just don't court death; if your Attribute Points exceed the limit you can endure, the excess damage will be shared by me. It doesn't matter if you die, just don't drag me down with you.”

“I…”

Li Xiaobai was lost for words; this shadow really had a knack for being a chatterbox, prattling on endlessly.

Just as he was about to send it away, the ground underneath them suddenly cracked open, spiderwebbing in every direction, and the entire arena instantaneously crumbled into dust. At the same time, another small mountain fell from above, casting a shadow over them.

“What's going on, why is this collapsing so suddenly?”

“Is someone attacking us?”

They all dodged, with several nearby houses collapsing as a result of being hit by the small mountain.

“It's a repercussion of the mountain you blew up earlier.”

The shadow said.

“Then why didn't it fall earlier?”

Li Xiaobai looked at it and asked, as the shadow seemed to know a lot more than he did.

“Because earlier, you hadn't summoned this lord here.”

The shadow replied indifferently and then sauntered away nonchalantly.

Li Xiaobai recalled the note given by the skill; the clone automatically inherits all statuses of the original body. He was currently afflicted with Decay God Possession. If he summoned a clone, wouldn't that mean the city of Jinlun would have to bear the brunt of double Decay God Possession right now?

How could anyone survive this?

The thought of summoning a bunch of clones in the future, possibly causing earthquakes wherever he went, and causing death wherever he roamed, making him a walking harbinger of death, was stimulating.

“Kid, why do I feel like your clone has some serious illness? Spit it out, is it something you passed down?”

Ergouzi eyed Li Xiaobai suspiciously, somehow sensing that there was something fishy going on.

“My original self feels like this clone might embezzle treasures and resources!”

“This thing is your clone, if it embezzles, it's the same as you embezzling. Are you harboring ulterior motives?”

Ji Wuqing's gaze sharpened as he stared at Li Xiaobai.

“Nonsense!”

“Don't you all know my character by now? I have always been on the side of justice when it comes to matters of right and wrong.”

“Seeing the turmoil within the Buddhist Sect in Jiaodong, my heart only knows the words 'enlightenment' and 'new ideological movement.' We must organize a new ideological movement, tackle it in three steps, and save all the suffering people!”

Li Xiaobai stood with hands clasped behind his back, with a face full of pity for the world, appearing entirely uninterested in wealth.

“Three steps?”

“That's right, we need to seize territories, sell Huazi, and make a fortune!”

Ji Wuqing agreed, although Li Xiaobai's schemes are unpredictable, making money was something everyone agreed on.

“No no no, that's the old three steps. Now we have to take the new three steps!”

“Drive away the bullies, rescue the common people, and strive for self-improvement!”

Li Xiaobai said indifferently.

“Isn't that the same thing?”

Ergouzi looked to Xiao Lao Di for confirmation.

Xiao Lao Di nodded: “Yeah, it's the same thing!”

“Let's get our act together today and set off bright and early tomorrow!”

That evening.

Li Xiaobai met his shadow outside the city. Ever mindful of the negative status of Decay God Possession he carried, he dared not casually meet with the shadow within the city walls anymore.

“What capabilities do you have?”

Li Xiaobai cut straight to the chase, wanting to understand more about the clone skill.

“Anything you can do, I can do.”

The shadow spoke nonchalantly, boasting as naturally as the breeze that never leaves one's side.

“And what about the things I can't do?”

“I can do those too.”

“Cut to the chase, how strong are you in battle?”

Li Xiaobai asked.

“One-tenth of the maximum damage you can sustain; a Semi-Saint can sustain a maximum damage of thirty million at once. With the Explosive Clothing Divine Skill, it would be sixty million, so one-tenth of that is six million.”

“At the moment, as I am clothed, the maximum damage I can sustain is three million. Anything beyond that, and I'd die,”
explained the shadow slowly.

“That weak?”

Li Xiaobai frowned slightly; if that was the case, the shadow's usefulness would be greatly reduced, unable to be employed in battle, only handling daily affairs or to intimidate others, without much practical use.

“Because the original you is too weak, just a weakling. How strong can a clone of a mere Semi-Saint be?”

“We clones have our pride too. It reflects poorly on us if our original is weak. I hope you can make some effort, quickly raise your cultivation level, reach the Saint Realm, ignite the Three Divine Flames, so that we clones may have some self-preservation ability. You are so feeble, it's hard to believe you are the original,”
the shadow continued calmly, but its words managed to infuriate Li Xiaobai.

What a piece of work; this guy has seized all the limelight.

Being just about at the level of the Human Immortal Realm, this clone might not even be able to beat cultivators from the Human Immortal Realm, yet it dares to be so bombastic. Where is this confidence coming from?

“The ground has started to shake; the effects of Decay God Possession are kicking in. I suggest you quickly find a way to remove this brainless state. Wouldn't it be better to have a beneficial status that could make things twice as effective?”

The shadow said lightly.

“I'll set off tomorrow. You manage the accounts well, and when I come back, you better hand over everything as expected,”
Li Xiaobai said.

The shadow shook its head: “No way, we split 20-80.”

Li Xiaobai: “You are my clone; if I am strong, you are strong. Why would you need resources?”

The shadow: “You are too weak; following you will get me nowhere. I have to figure out my own way to raise my realm.”

Li Xiaobai: “…”
