Chapter 300, New Skill – Jade Mirror Image!

Translator: Silavin

 

The group continued forward, encountering several waves of Monster attacks.

 

In the largest Monster wave so far, there were over a hundred Monsters.

 

Of course, over a hundred Monsters were still nothing to Lu Fan’s group. The Mad Hell Demon and Bao Bao easily divided and conquered them all.

 

In this Dungeon Instance, the group had cleared over five thousand Monsters, including three Main Stage Bosses.

 

These Monsters provided massive Experience Points to Lu Fan’s group. Qin Qiu, Tao Xiaoman, and Xiao Cui had Levelled Up once, while Han Ke, being at a Lower Level, gained two Levels.

 

Bao Bao Leveled Up the most. He had already reached Level 8.

 

Such rapid Leveling was due not only to this Dungeon’s High Level. It did provide enormous Experience Points, but Lu Fan’s Accelerated Growth Aura having reached Level 7 played a key role too. Currently, he was providing nearly five times the Experience Points boost to his Pet Dragons.

 

At this rate, Bao Bao would likely enter his Growth Period in just a few days.

 

Finally, after the fourth Main Stage Boss whimpered and was killed by the Mad Hell Demon’s mace, Bao Bao and Han Ke Levelled Up again, while Jian Ying and Xiao Cui also gained a Level.

 

At the same time, Lu Fan found two more Map Fragments on the Boss, completing the 500 required Map Fragments.

 

Lu Fan felt accomplished as he took out all the Map Fragments and combined them into a ‘Most Complete Retreat Route Map’.

 

Holding the Map, Lu Fan saw a bright line running through it with clear coordinates.

 

Moreover, the group’s current position was right along the retreat route. Following the Map’s guidance along this route should lead them to where the ‘Tyrant’ died and the Lost Treasure.

 

After identifying the coordinates and direction, Lu Fan led everyone along the map’s retreat route. After just a few steps, he felt something rubbing against him.

 

Looking over, Lu Fan saw Xiao Cui, holding her head high, as if she had done something remarkable and was waiting for praise.

 

Lu Fan was confused about what she meant.

 

Remembering Xiao Cui had just Levelled Up, Lu Fan checked her Attribute Panel and was surprised to find she had learned another new Skill!

 

Jade Mirror Image (Active Skill, LV1) – Can target friendly units to create two Mirror Image Projections. Mirror Image Projections gain all the Skills of the friendly unit, with Attributes at 30% of the original. Maximum simultaneous Mirror Image Projections per unit: 2. Effect is doubled if applied to those of the Dragon Race or teammates with Dragon Bloodline

 

[Incredible! Xiao Cui, you’ve learned yet another powerful Skill at Level 36. No wonder this little girl is looking so proud and seeking to be praised!] Lu Fan was delighted, thinking how accomplished Xiao Cui had become. After reaching her Maturing Period, she had first learned Dragon Domain, and now, after gaining one Level, she learned Jade Mirror Image. This was simply too amazing!

 

Lu Fan decided to have Xiao Cui use Jade Mirror Image on himself.

 

A green light flashed, and beside Lu Fan appeared an identical copy of himself. It was indistinguishable from the original except for having a blank expression, seeming slightly dull.

 

Lu Fan could sense and control this Mirror Image Projection easily. It was not much different from the feeling of controlling the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon Kings.

 

He could feel that this Mirror Image Projection was quite powerful, having access to all his equipment like the Flaming Meteor Sword and Underworld Serpent’s Cry, and could even use Dragon Language Magic.

 

The only pity was that the Mirror Image Projection could not summon Pet Dragons. That would make it truly invincible.

 

Because Lu Fan had Dragon Bloodline, the mirror image had 60% of his Attributes, making it quite formidable. At this state, the Mirror Image Projection would certainly be able to handle Third Profession Players.

 

Moreover, Xiao Cui could create four Mirror Image Projections of Lu Fan. Together, their power would be comparable to the original.

 

Furthermore, this was just a copy of Lu Fan. What about Mirror Image Projections of Xiao Ye, Xing Chen and the others?

 

In the future, they might see five Xiao Yes casting Great Cataclysm simultaneously, five Xing Chens all transforming into Galaxy Overlords and releasing Neutron Star and Neutron Star Annihilation.

 

That thought alone was exhilarating.

 

Oh right, he could never forget Bao Bao.

 

One Bao Bao was already quite terrifying. Just imagining Five Bao Bao together, casting various Skills together. Lu Fan believes even those that reached Divinity could not possibly withstand that.

 

More amazingly, Jade Mirror Image was only at Level 1, and it was already so useful.

 

When its Level increases in the future, would Xiao Cui not be able to create even stronger Mirror Image Projections? Furthermore, even more Mirror Image Projections per unit?

 

Without doubt, though Xiao Cui was a Support Specialised Dragon, she was Lu Fan’s most beloved Dragon child.

 

Not only was she well-behaved, but the power increase she brought to Lu Fan was incomparable to any other Pet Dragon.

 

While Lu Fan was feeling pleased, the sudden appearance of another Lu Fan startled everyone.

 

Tao Xiaoman even drew her sword to attack, though it was not clear if she wanted personal revenge or was truly frightened by seeing two Lu Fans standing together.

 

Lu Fan quickly explained, and everyone realised the other Lu Fan was a Summoned Mirror Image Projection, not some desert illusion.

 

Such an interesting Skill fascinated them, especially Tao Xiaoman, who wanted to try it herself.

 

Unfortunately, Xiao Cui’s Skill could only be used on friendly units – Lu Fan and his Pets and Summons – not on others.

 

So Tao Xiaoman would never get to see an identical Mirror Image Projection of herself.

 

However, she was quite crafty. After learning this was Lu Fan’s Mirror Image Projection with only 60% of his Attributes, she proposed a PvP match with the Mirror Image Projection.

 

She figured while losing to Lu Fan was normal, surely she could not possibly lose to his Mirror Image Projection, right?

 

The result… proved the opposite of her thoughts.

 

Lu Fan’s Mirror Image Projection could use all of his Skills. So it simply used Flash Spirit Leap to appear beside Tao Xiaoman and easily knocked away her weapon with one sword strike.

 

There was no help for it. Even at 60%, the Attribute gap was still too large. It was still able to completely effortlessly dominate Tao Xiaoman.

 

So, the sparring match ended as quickly as it began.

 

Tao Xiaoman went completely emo afterwards, swearing never to spar with that ‘monster’ again.

 

Everyone laughed, then continued forward along the Map route.

 

After another half hour and several waves of Monsters, Lu Fan’s Black Dragon Perception Passive triggered, making him stop.

 

Ahead, within a one-kilometer radius, the previously calm desert suddenly seemed to sense Lu Fan’s group approaching and began to boil. It was as if what was underneath them was not sand but a pot of boiling water.
