Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

The wind was very cold at the top of Lingqi Valley.

The last golden main flag was planted in the center of the stone platform.

Gu Chen stood beside the flag, his white combat uniform so clean that he didn't look like someone who had participated in a resource war.

Shen Ye walked up the steps one by one.

Night Feather rested on his shoulder, the Netherfire burning silently.

Zhu Jiu wandered in his shadow, his deep blue vertical pupils appearing and disappearing.

Down the mountain, Luo Lie and Xiao Jue both looked up.

The other reserve battalion members even stopped the fighting.

The battle for the top three is over.

Now, it's a battle for first place.

Gu Chen looked at Shen Ye and smiled:

"You think faster than I do."

Shen Ye said, "You haven't made a move yet; were you waiting for me?"

Gu Chen nodded.

"Resource flags are not very useful to me."

"But you're useful."

Shen Ye's gaze remained unchanged.

"I am not a resource."

Gu Chen's smile deepened.

"Opponents are also resources."

Shen Ye agreed with this statement.

Han Pojun's voice rang out from within the formation:

"Gu Chen, Shen Ye."

"Are you sure you want to fight?"

Gu Chen said, "Confirmed."

Shen Ye said, "Confirmed."

Han Pojun remained silent for a moment.

"In battle, one may injure but not kill."

"If one side loses its fighting capacity, I will forcibly terminate the operation."

Gu Chen looked at Shen Ye.

"The instructors rarely give this kind of reminder."

Shen Ye said, "That means you're in danger."

Gu Chen shook his head.

"This means you are in danger."

The words fell.

The air behind Gu Chen suddenly rippled like the surface of water.

A giant mirror appeared.

The mirror was frameless, silvery-white like the moon, but it didn't reflect Gu Chen; instead, it reflected Shen Ye's figure.

The system panel appears.

【Mirror Nightmare Beast】

[Level: Early Stage of Tier 3]

[Potential: SS Rank]

[Skills: Mirror Image Copy, Damage Reflection, Illusionary Position Swap, Mirror Domain]

[Risk Rating: Extremely High]

SS-level potential.

This is the enemy beast with the highest potential that Shen Ye has ever seen.

No wonder Gu Chen was able to maintain his number one position.

Gu Chen raised his hand, and ripples appeared on the mirror surface.

The next moment, a "Shen Ye" stepped out of the mirror.

The same black hair.

The same short sword.

Even on its shoulder rested a "Night Feather" formed of silver light.

The audience erupted in uproar.

"Mirror copy!"

"Gu Chen used this right from the start?"

"How can we fight this? The stronger Shen Ye is, the stronger his clone becomes."

Shen Ye looked at his reflection, his gaze slightly narrowed.

A system notification appeared quickly.

[Mirror Image]

[Target of copying: Shen Ye]

[Replication strength: 70% of the original]

[Copy Skills: Ghostfire Battle Body, Netherfire, Shadow Strike, and some Beast Taming Skill Projections]

[Weakness: Unable to replicate the mythical bloodline origin, unable to replicate the Beast God Contract]

Shen Ye understood.

70% intensity.

Despite her apparent dissatisfaction, Mirror Image is not afraid of pain, does not hesitate, and can even cooperate with Gu Chen.

Gu Chen said:

"I'm curious to know how you'll defeat yourself."

Shen Ye drew his short sword.

"Cut it down first, then we'll talk."

Simultaneously, Shen Ye drew his sword.

The two figures collided instantly.

clang!

Blades clashed, and a burst of dark and silvery flames erupted.

Shen Ye's wrist suddenly sank.

The mirror image's power was slightly weaker than his, but their reactions were almost synchronized.

On the other side, Night Feather flew into the air.

The silvery-white mirror image of Night Feather also took flight.

The two crow-like beasts crossed paths in the air, their ghostly fire and mirror fire colliding repeatedly.

Zhu Jiu emerged from the shadows and pounced straight at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen stood still.

The mirror of the Nightmare Beast turned.

Zhu Jiu's snake body suddenly emerged from the mirror and lunged at Shen Ye himself.

The real and the virtual are interchanged.

Shen Ye's shadow flickered beneath his feet, narrowly avoiding Zhu Jiu's accidental collision.

Zhu Jiu immediately steadied himself, his snake eyes revealing anger.

Gu Chen smiled and said:

"Your beast-taming coordination is excellent."

"But in the Mirror Realm, directions aren't necessarily accurate."

As soon as he finished speaking, silver mirrors appeared around the stone platform on the mountaintop.

The entire battlefield was shrouded in a mirror field.

A dozen Gu Chens appeared before Shen Ye at the same time.

A dozen or so mirror images of Shen Ye.

A dozen or so Night Feathers.

It's a mix of real and fake.

Breaths mingled.

Extremely difficult to distinguish.

Down the mountain, Xiao Jue frowned.

"That's why I hate fighting with him the most."

Luo Lie asked, "You also lost in the Mirror Domain?"

Xiao Jue's face darkened.

"Shut up."

On the stone platform.

Shen Ye closed his eyes.

Since the eyes can be deceived, we shouldn't use them.

The Divine Contract of Myriad Beasts connects Ye Yu and Zhu Jiu.

The real Night Feather is in the upper left corner.

The real Candle Nine is three meters below your feet.

As for Gu Chen...

Shen Ye couldn't sense it.

The Mirror Nightmare Beast reflected Gu Chen's aura into the mirror.

"Can't find me?"

Gu Chen's voice came from all directions.

"Here I come."

Gu Chen stepped out from within a mirror.

A silver longsword appeared in his hand without him noticing, and he thrust it straight at Shen Ye's back.

Shen Ye sidestepped and parried with his short sword.

But the moment the sword touched the dagger, the force was deflected from the other mirror and struck Shen Ye in the back.

boom!

Shen Ye staggered forward.

Mirror Image Shen Ye seized the opportunity and slashed at his chest with his sword.

Shen Ye activated his Netherfire Battle Body, withstood half a blade strike, and then punched the mirror image in the face with his backhand.

Reverse mirror image.

But Shen Ye also had a bloody mark on his chest.

Gu Chen did not pursue, but simply said:

"Your combat instincts are very strong."

"The Mirror Domain can specifically overcome intuition."

Shen Ye opened his eyes.

"Yeah?"

He raised his hand.

"Night Feather, unleash all your Netherfire and burn the mirror."

Night Feather spreads its wings.

The ghostly fire spread like a tide, falling onto the surrounding mirrors.

Ripples spread across the mirror's surface, unexpectedly redirecting most of the ghostly flames back.

The dark flames surged back.

Shen Ye did not dodge.

"Zhu Jiu, take over the fire."

Zhu Jiu raised its head from the shadows and swallowed the returning Netherfire.

The candlelight and the ghost fire briefly merged within its body.

The next moment, Zhu Jiu's deep blue pupils turned into a dark blue light.

"Gazing at the Candlelight".

It wasn't a stare at Gu Chen.

Instead, he stared at all the mirrors.

Click.

One of the lenses is cracked.

Gu Chen's expression changed for the first time.

"A fusion skill?"

Shen Ye said, "I just thought of it."

Gu Chen remained silent for a moment.

"You create combo attacks during battle?"

Shen Ye did not answer.

He has already rushed out.

Yoru continued setting fires.

The mirror surface continues to reflect.

Zhu Jiu continued to consume the fire, then used the candlelight to gaze at the counter-vibration mirror domain.

one side.

Two sides.

Three sides.

Cracks began to appear in the mirror field.

Gu Chen finally lost his composure.

He raised his hand and pressed it against the mirror surface of the Nightmare Beast.

"Damage Reflection".

Shen Ye shattered the mirror image in front of him with a single slash.

The next instant, the same amount of damage was returned to him.

A bloody gash appeared on his shoulder.

But Shen Ye seemed oblivious.

Second knife.

The third cut.

The fourth cut.

The mirror image shatters again and again, and the damage is reflected back time and again.

More and more bloodstains appeared on Shen Ye's body.

Gu Chen frowned.

"You want to hold out until the Mirror Realm collapses?"

Shen Ye's voice was calm:

"No."

"I'm looking for your real mirror."

Gu Chen's pupils contracted slightly.

The next moment, Shen Ye suddenly turned around.

The dagger flew from his hand and shot towards an inconspicuous mirror to his left rear.

"Night Feather!"

The Thousand Blades of the Dark Phoenix fell simultaneously.

Zhu Jiu's Nine Netherworld Shadows erupted from the shadows of the mirror.

Triple attack, all concentrated on one point.

boom!

The lens shattered.

The Mirror Realm collapsed instantly.

Gu Chen's true form appeared from behind the shattered mirror, his face slightly pale.

A clear crack also appeared on the mirror surface of the Nightmare Beast.

Shen Ye was covered in blood, but he took a step forward and the short knife returned to his hand.

He looked at Gu Chen.

"I've found you."
