Chapter 53 The Difference Between People, Silent Baker
“Uka’s words are not alarmist, but the great being he mentioned is most likely the Venerable. However, my goal has always been not limited to the Venerable realm.”

After returning to the manor, Rong Jun found Baker, the "master's nephew".

Time is precious, and he doesn't want to waste even a single moment of the three years leading to Chaos City.

Baker was undoubtedly a gifted warrior, his abilities astonishing even the Immortal King.

However, this master's nephew has a "biased" problem that makes people laugh and cry.

Baker was able to easily master the teleportation ability that only the king-level strong men could master when he was at the peak of the military lord.

Now that the military leader is invincible, he can naturally handle things with ease.

But compared to his ability to escape and save his life, Baker's offensive talent is mediocre.

If he wasn't slightly inferior in understanding the laws of attack, he would have possessed the ability to be granted a title of nobility!

-

"Regarding what the points should be used to purchase..." Baker hesitated.

"Your Highness, I observed your performance in the genius battle and found that compared to your attack methods, your physical skills are a little weak."

At this point, Baker's mouth curled up slightly, as if he remembered something proud: "'Ten Thousand Lines Flow' was originally a body movement of the controller. Although it has been improved by the great being, warriors can also control it.

However, there is still some gap compared to the use by the real controller.

Therefore, I recommend that you consider purchasing the secret book "Multiple Shadow Clones".

This set of secret techniques is divided into five levels.”

"Fifth level?" Rong Jun frowned slightly. Generally speaking, the secret techniques of the realm master level are mostly around the third level. Those who can reach the fourth level are rare and precious, and the fifth level almost touches the realm of immortality and can only be comprehended by ordinary immortals.

Baker nodded and continued to explain: "Yes, five levels. In the first level, the number of clones is one, but the clone can perfectly simulate 80% of the original body's strength, almost the same as the original body.

On the second level, the number of clones doubled to two, but the clones' strength dropped to 75%.

On the third level, the number of clones doubles again to four, and their strength drops to 70%.

On the fourth level, the number of clones doubled again to eight, with a strength of 65%.

As for the fifth level, the number of clones reaches an astonishing sixteen, but their strength will be reduced to 60%."

Although Baker explained the secret method in detail and the recipe was indeed good, Rong Jun was not completely satisfied.

Although this secret technique can create clones, it is also accompanied by a decrease in strength. For Rong Jun, who has always felt that he is not strong enough, what he hopes for is a secret technique that can improve his skills in moving around and greatly enhance his personal strength.

After noticing Rong Jun's doubts, Baker was not flustered at all. He patiently explained: "Your Highness, regarding the mystery of 'Multiple Shadow Clones', even a powerful person at the Venerable level would find it difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the clones.

If it is combined with the secret method of joint attack..."

Before Baker finished speaking, Rong Jun's eyes had already flashed with a gleam of brilliance. He realized that this secret method was not as simple as it seemed. If it was really as Baker said, even the Venerable could hardly distinguish the authenticity of his clones, then this was not only a physical method, but also a powerful tactical method.

For some dangerous places, you can send clones to explore.

Just as the other party said, facing two clones whose strength was only at the seventh and a half level of his own, Rong Jun could still deal with it calmly; but if it was four clones with the seventh level of strength and who mastered the art of combined attack, he would have to be doubly careful, because the slightest negligence could lead to him falling into an irretrievable situation.

The scary thing about the Zerg is not the strength of their individuals, but their ability to communicate with each other's minds and easily achieve perfectly coordinated attacks. This tacit understanding and cooperation, coupled with their unlimited reproductive ability, is what makes them truly terrifying.

The secret technique of "Multiple Shadow Clones", if combined with the secret technique of combined attack, can completely simulate the tacit cooperation between the Zerg and the Mechs, and even surpass them in some aspects.

After all, although the Zerg are huge in number, their individual strength is limited, and the Mechanical race has a single means of attack. The clones created by the "Multiple Shadow Clones" are based on Rong Jun's personal strength.

The only drawback is that there are too few of them, which makes them unworthy of the title of 'Multiple Shadow Clones'.

If there are thousands of...

Thinking of this, Rong Jun had already made up his mind. He looked at Baker, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Mr. Baker's suggestion is very good. How many points are required for this 'Multiple Shadow Clones' secret method?"

Baker smiled slightly. He was not surprised at Rong Jun's decision. He knew that this young "little master" had extraordinary vision and determination.

"The points required for each level of the 'Multiple Shadow Clones' secret technique are different. The first level requires five thousand points; the second level requires fifteen thousand points; the third level requires fifty thousand points; the fourth level requires two hundred thousand points; and the fifth level requires five hundred thousand points."

"So cheap?!" Rong Jun almost blurted out, with disbelief written all over his face.

Although according to common sense, a low price should be something to be happy about, but after hearing this price, Rong Jun felt a little relaxed but also felt a little uneasy.

After all, cheap goods are not good!
Anyone who has bought a certain Xixi in the previous life knows that the only advantage of a certain Xixi is that it is cheap.

But these advantages are often accompanied by countless "pitfalls".

As Rong Jun exclaimed, Baker showed an embarrassed look: "Your Highness, this method is cheap because the clone is currently only effective for the immortality of the military master.

It would be fine for an ordinary title of nobility, but for the immortal title of king, the military lord-level clone is too weak and seems a bit useless.

Having said that, for you who have just reached the universe level, "Multiple Shadow Clones" are of great use both in combat and in clones.

To put it simply, when you are stationed in Qianwu Universe Country at the Domain Lord stage, as long as your true body is not revealed, even the Venerable will not be able to do anything to you!"

Rong Jun understood instantly. 'Multiple Shadow Clones' was indeed a little useless in the later stages, but it was indeed a rare top-level secret technique at the current stage.

Rong Jun hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Baker, could it be that 'Multiple Shadow Clones' is a secret technique you created?"

Baker's face changed slightly when he heard this, as if Rong Jun's words had touched upon something in his mind, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile as if nothing had happened: "Your Highness, you are joking. How could I have the ability to create such a secret method?"

Rong Jun looked at Baker and thought to himself, "It seems that my guess was right. This secret method may be related to Baker." However, he did not delve into it further. The other party was unwilling to say more, and he did not want to ask more.

Everyone has his own secrets, Baker respects him and he respects Baker.

"In that case, I will purchase this secret technique of 'Multiple Shadow Clones'." Rong Jun made up his mind.

Hearing this, Baker nodded with satisfaction: "Your Highness is wise. In addition, I have another suggestion. While practicing 'Multiple Shadow Clones', Your Highness can also consider purchasing some other auxiliary secrets.

For example, the 'Void Breaking Finger' increases the power of 'Multiple Shadow Clones', and the 'Basalt Shield' enhances defensive capabilities.

A powerful one that also helps in comprehending 'Multiple Shadow Clones'.

The other one is what Venerable Hou Tu reminded me to buy for you."

"Teacher Custer's instructions?" Rong Jun nodded slightly. These auxiliary secret methods were indeed useful to him.

"Thank you Mr. Baker for your advice." Rong Jun said.

-

'Multiple Shadow Clones' consumed five thousand points.

The Basalt Shield consumed five thousand points, and this was only the first level of the secret technique.

Rong Jun didn't have enough points to buy the shield and the 'Void Breaking Finger', so he had to shamelessly go to General Thirteen to borrow 10,000 points.

In fact, he had been planning to look for his master, the Nine Swords Master, but according to the message from the other party's intelligent life, his master was busy recently and could not be contacted for the time being.

Fortunately, the price of 'Breaking Void Finger' is not expensive, and the whole set only costs 8,000 points.

Instead, it cost him 100 points to customize the basalt shield.

-

The spacecraft sped through the dark universe at a speed 20 times the speed of light.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

During this period, Rong Jun devoted all his energy and studied day and night.

Each of the six secret techniques, "Floating Blood", "Opening the Sky", "Thousand Mountains", "Multiple Shadow Clones", "Breaking the Void Finger" and "Black Tortoise Shield", requires a lot of time and effort to gain a glimpse of the tricks.

Fortunately, Baker, the "great master's nephew", provided careful guidance. Among them, the most significant progress was made in "Blood Flowing", "Multiple Shadow Clones" and "Breaking Void Finger".

These three secret techniques are all closely related to the laws of the origin of space. Once you master one of them, it will become easy to comprehend the other two.

Therefore, the progress of "Floating Blood" is particularly gratifying. The first nine types have been basically mastered, and six of the middle twenty-seven types have also been figured out by Rong Jun.

Theoretically, Rong Jun has fully comprehended the first picture of raindrops on the Nine-Universe Chaos Monument, and he has also gained two levels of comprehension of the second picture of drizzle.

Rong Jun predicted that when he arrived in Chaos City, he would most likely fully comprehend the second drizzle picture of the Nine-Universe Chaos Monument.

Likewise, the progress of "Multiple Shadow Clones" and "Void-Breaking Finger" cannot be underestimated.

Under Baker's one-on-one guidance, Rong Jun completed the second level of practice of "Multiple Shadow Clones" three days ago. Now he can create two clones with 75% of his own strength.

When the main body and the two clones use the "Void-Breaking Finger" together, it is enough to completely suppress the simulated self in the killing field.

Of course, if the other party used that knife, the result would be different.

Compared with the previous three secret methods, the progress of "Kai Tian" is neither fast nor slow, and it feels like it is lagging behind.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that there is no one to guide me, I have been studying too much recently, and time is too tight.

Compared with the secret methods related to these three laws of the origin of space, the progress of "Thousand Mountains" and "Basalt Shield" seems to be stretched and the progress is slower.

And as time went by, Rong Jun vaguely felt that Baker was a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, his teacher, Venerable Hou Tu, arranged for him by Venerable Jiu Jian, will personally instruct him in a few days.

An invincible military leader can have such an effect. Rong Jun is full of expectations for this venerable named Custer.

He really wanted to see how much progress he would make under the hands-on instruction of the Venerable.

In addition to the above-mentioned secret methods, Rong Jun did not give up his understanding of the secret pattern diagram in private.

Because these three secret patterns enhance his essence.

As his strength advanced from the stellar level to the cosmic level, his soul, genes, and the Force were significantly enhanced, which also significantly improved his understanding of the three secret patterns.

Currently, Rong Jun's degree of comprehension of the three secret patterns is respectively: 2.1% for calming the soul, 1.9% for nourishing the soul, and 2% for tempering the body.

-

Time flies, and month after month passes quietly.

The F-class spaceship made of Guiyan stone mother is also constantly heading towards the "Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters" located in the center of the entire human territory of the universe.

During this period of time, Rong Jun seemed to have transformed into a tireless cultivation machine. Every cell in his body turned into a hungry sponge, madly absorbing all kinds of knowledge. He could feel the earth-shaking changes in himself at every moment.

The secret method is constantly being improved, the realm is constantly being raised, and the strength is constantly being increased.

I have to say that Venerable Custer is different!
Under the other party's personal guidance, Rong Jun finally made a qualitative leap in the practice of "Kai Tian", "Qian Shan" and "Xuan Wu Shield".

Now he was a little impatient and wanted to see how many sky bridges he could cross in a row.

-

In the virtual universe, in the No. 114 manor training ground in the primitive area, Rong Jun was barefoot and wearing shorts, holding a "basalt shield" shaped like a tortoise shell, and carrying a Rock Domain Sky-Splitting Blade on his back, standing alone in a corner.

"Mr. Baker, I'll leave it to you from now on!" Rong Jun said sincerely.

Baker smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Your Highness, you are overpraising me. As long as you don't despise my meager strength, it's fine."

The gap between people is sometimes beyond imagination.

In the first six months, Baker was still able to guide Rong Jun calmly, but with the arrival of the Thick Earth Master "Castor", Rong Jun's strength grew at an alarming rate, which left him dumbfounded.

This also made Baker finally understand why the Nine Swords Master did not choose to accept him as a disciple even though he had a unique talent in the laws of the origin of space.

Because compared with a genius like Rong Jun who appears once in millions of epochs, my talent is really nothing!
chi chi~~
In the huge training ground which was 300 kilometers long and 100 kilometers wide respectively, Baker and Rong Jun stood facing each other.

At this moment, although Baker's aura has dropped to the peak of the universe, with the permission of Venerable Hou Tu, he does not need to suppress the power of the laws of space that he has comprehended.

Opposite Baker was Rong Jun, who was holding the Rock Domain Sky-Splitting Blade.

At one side stood a four-meter-tall, muscular, bald man named Thick Earth Master - Custer.

"Start!" Caster gave the order, and the surrounding space vibrated faintly with his words.

A light suddenly appeared in Baker's eyes, and sixteen clones instantly emerged, rushing towards Rong Jun from all directions.

Baker knew how terrifying his 'little uncle' was. Even if he tried his best, he could barely defeat him at the cosmic level.

The key point is that was three months ago, now...

Of course, if he uses his life-saving skills, even ten cosmic-level Rong Juns will be unable to do anything to him.

"Come on." Rong Jun gripped the sword tightly and held the shield in his hand. He also transformed into sixteen figures, like seventeen golden streams of light, and rushed towards Baker.

"clang!"

The two men clashed head-on. Rong Jun's sword skills were as swift as thunder and lightning, and the tens of thousands of blows between the two were completed almost in an instant.

At this moment, Rong Jun's movements were strange and unpredictable, and his swordsmanship seemed erratic, but it contained unparalleled power.

Compared with his previous powerful swordsmanship, his current swordsmanship has undergone a qualitative leap with the help of his body movements.

Baker's hair was flying, his eyes were like lightning, and he shouted loudly, "Cut... cut... cut!!!" Seventeen long swords chopped down fiercely, and each time the word "war" was as shocking as thunder.

He yelled violently, unparalleled in strength.

"Come on!!!" Rong Jun shouted loudly, vaguely sensing the improvement in the other party's strength.

In the battle of geniuses, besides him, the one with the strongest attack power is 'Bolan'.

In terms of weirdness, no one can match the illusion of the phantom demon Galesi; in terms of sharpness, Luo Feng's "Sky-piercing Style" is second to none; and in terms of domineering and strength, his swordsmanship is unparalleled!
After several minutes of fierce confrontation.

"puff!"

Blood gushed out, Rong Jun was knocked flying, and fell heavily to the ground like a broken sandbag.

"Boom~~~" The training field changed suddenly. Baker wiped away the non-existent sweat, and Rong Jun's injuries recovered in an instant.

This training ground is equipped with a killing space effect and can even simulate any desired opponent, but the simulation space is ultimately limited.

It would be better for the immortal military leader Baker to take the field personally.

"Well, there is progress, but it is far from enough!" Custer looked at Rong Jun who had just stood up, his face solemn, "With your current strength, you are still vulnerable to the other three veteran cosmic geniuses in the original area."

Rong Jun clenched his fists: "Teacher, I understand!"

Baker glanced at Custer respectfully, and looked at his 'little nephew' silently. Rong Jun was indeed no match for the old members of the Original Secret Realm at the moment, but he had not been to Chaos City after all.

With Rong Jun's current rate of progress, when he returns from Chaos City in thirty years, I'm afraid those so-called geniuses will be left far behind.

Is it a joke for a genius who appears once in millions of epochs to survive as long as he doesn't die?
Baker understood Custer's intention, he just wanted to prevent Rong Jun from becoming complacent. But would his "little uncle" really be proud of this?

"The spaceship will arrive at Chaos City in three months. I hope you can comprehend the secret of the "Basalt Shield" during this period. If not, at least you can block Baker's cosmic-level full-strength attack!"

Baker: “???”

He wanted to say that his junior uncle had already done it, but facing the stern look of the Venerable, he could only remain silent.
