One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 760 The one who understands you best is yourself.
The three of them already knew the rules of the instance, so they were not surprised.

After nodding to indicate that they were ready, Ares waved his hand again, creating three separate spaces out of thin air. He placed Nangong Ling and the other two, along with their corresponding clones, inside before turning his gaze to Lin Yi.

"Um, how about..."

Lin Yi was incredibly intelligent; even without relying on the laws of truth and the power of the Primordial Beginning, he could guess what the divine projection in front of him wanted to say.

"I refuse. The thing I hate most in my life is getting something for nothing. Clearing the game in this way is the greatest insult to myself."

"Therefore, my trial can begin as usual."

Ares's divine projection was completely speechless.

No, you've already said it all, what am I supposed to say?
Letting you pass the level is giving you face, and also giving the gods some face. How come you don't understand any social etiquette?

Ares only said these words to himself.

"Young man, your strength has already surpassed the limit for challenging this dungeon. With your strength, there is no need to continue the trial here. As for the Soul Cleansing Dungeon opening certificate after clearing this dungeon, I will give it to you as usual. In addition, how about I give you a random Mythical Equipment Treasure Chest?"

Lin Yi could take the unlock token for the Soul Purification Dungeon based entirely on his own strength.

As for the random treasure chests containing mythical equipment, Lin Yi finds those quite rare.

However, Lin Yi knew what was going on.

There's absolutely no need to agonize over whether improving your raw power or acquiring a random piece of equipment is more important.

Lin Yi was taught from a young age that one must be strong to succeed.

While the Mythical Random Treasure Chest is certainly good, can it be better than breaking through one's own limits, or better than the growth of one's understanding?

Lin Yi could easily distinguish the pros and cons, so of course he had to refuse decisively.

"No, that won't do. My parents taught me from a young age that one should be down-to-earth and take things one step at a time. There's no such thing as a free lunch; I don't believe such a good thing would fall into my lap. I'd rather take the path of trials."

When Lin Yi said this, his face was full of sincerity, truly embodying the saying that the most innocent expression conveys the most cunning words.

Ares's projection was very clear; Lin Yi had definitely noticed his predicament.

But since it concerned the face of the gods, he couldn't directly voice his concerns.

Seeing that Ares' projection was standing still, Lin Yi immediately became amused.

"My Lord, is your divine power insufficient?"

As the creators of the order of the Three Realms and Six Paths, the higher gods value their own reputation most.

Even though it was clear that the young man in front of it was provoking it, even though what was standing in front of Lin Yi was not Ares's true form, but just a projection, it was still led astray by that damned pride.

"Fine, you little brat, you won't listen to reason, so don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Whether you pass this trial or not has nothing to do with the strength of the participants themselves. The stronger you are, the stronger the clone you will fight will be. Kid, you'll regret this!"

After a roar, Ares' projection used his divine power to condense an identical image of Lin Yi, and then placed Lin Yi into a specific space.

"I never expected you would choose to fight me; your courage is truly commendable."

Hey, you know what, the clone's personality is actually quite similar to Lin Yi's. If their positions were reversed, Lin Yi felt that he would most likely still start with this sentence.

"It's not so much courage as it is. If I don't even have the confidence to challenge myself, how can I be the ruler of this planet's will?"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two simultaneously unleashed the Swift Strike skill, charging forward with incredible speed. The materialized primordial power enveloped their fists, making the thunderous power of [Swift Strike] even more domineering with the enhancement of the primordial power.

boom!
The exact same moves and actions, combined with the same output, bombarded each other, affecting the surrounding space and causing countless cracks to spread uncontrollably.

The primordial forces collided and transformed into a tangible torrent, suddenly spreading outwards. If the battle had not taken place in the space created by Ares, how much would everything within this divine ruin have been damaged?

boom!
Both Lin Yi's lips curled up simultaneously, and an even greater primordial power erupted from their colliding fists.

"It really didn't disappoint me. As expected of my clone, it even uses the exact same attack method as me."

Lin Yi was genuinely happy.

Fighting your own clone is the truly exhilarating experience.

No need to worry about hitting too hard, or being unable to block the opponent's attacks. Where else can you find such a perfect combat experience?

But the smile had only been on Lin Yi's face for a moment before his expression turned gloomy.

damn it!
A notification from the All-Seeing Eye suddenly appeared:
Lin Yi (clone), lasting for 14 minutes and 50 seconds.

As expected, Ares's projection power was limited, and it was clearly impossible to rely on him to fight to your heart's content.

14 minutes and 50 seconds is more than enough time for Lin Yi, who usually runs through dungeons.

This time, however, Lin Yi was facing a clone with the exact same strength as himself, who also knew him best.

To clear this instance, Lin Yi will likely have to completely defeat his clone within this timeframe. Otherwise, once the divine power of Ares' projection is exhausted, the instance will probably have to be closed for a long time. Who knows how often those high-ranking gods will pay attention to Blue Star?

With a single thought, the eternal power within his body was mobilized frantically.

The instant the two raised their right hands, a blade hundreds of meters long, constructed from eternal power, slashed down toward each other's heads.

At the same time, a crystal-clear glacial river, suspended upside down from the sky behind the other side.

The skill 【Time-Space Freezing River】 has been successfully activated.

Indeed, the one who knows you best is yourself.

The clone of Lin Yi has already used the exact same moves as the original for several rounds.

This perfectly reflects the name of this instance: Realm!

Lin Yi's battles in this instance were truly like fighting against his own reflection in a mirror.

The condensed river of time and space was getting closer and closer to the opponent, and the opponent's condensed river of time and space was also pressing in step by step. The huge ice blade formed by the power of eternity also reached its limit at this moment and shattered with a crash.

At the same time, the backlash from the shattered skill entered both of their bodies.

The internal injuries caused by the churning blood and qi are also being repaired at the same time.

Seeing that his attack missed, Lin Yi subconsciously activated his [Mirror of Heaven and Earth] skill, hoping to kill his opponent by moving several times within a second.

Unfortunately, the clone Lin Yi also possesses this skill.

No matter how fast they blink or teleport in this world, they will always meet the other the moment they stop and engage in a fistfight.
