Chapter 103: Replication Exposed, Extinction Crisis

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The camp commandant pushed the computer in front of Ling Jiu, and listed on it was a series of top-tier treasures of heaven and earth. Ling Jiu held his breath as he browsed it carefully.

“Bottle Tree Heart: A natural Arcana awakening elixir, and is usually used for the third awakening. Awakening rate: 60%!”

“Resurrection Rose Ginseng: Contains a large amount of life force, and could restore flesh and bones. One could recover even when on the verge of death.”

“Titan Konjac: Body strengthening elixir, a Titan Konjac can increase one’s physical attributes by ten times without any side effects.”

“Ivory Mutinus: Can increase Gene Arcana, a single Ivory Mutinus could increase one’s Gene Arcana for 5 years.”

“Giant Nepenthes: Arcana awakening elixir. Can allow” people to awaken the Parasite Arcana, allowing the Arcanist to parasitize on the plant and animals, absorbing the life force of animals and plants to enhance oneself.”

…

Browsing the list one by one, Ling Jiu felt his throat dry. As expected of a top-tier treasure of heaven and earth, every single one was extremely shocking, and he wanted them all.

If he could, he would take all of them, but that was obviously impossible.

He could only select one.

Ling Jiu was lost in his thought, these treasures of heaven and earth could be roughly divided into four categories:

Arcana awakening type, Gene Arcana enhancement type, body enhancement type, weapon type.

Ling Jiu immediately passed on body enhancement type and weapon type treasures. He already had the Tungsten Form Arcana and did not need to strengthen his body for the time being.

He did not need weapons either, as he had just obtained seven special weapons.

The remaining ones are Arcana awakening type and Gene Arcana enhancement types.

“An Arcana awakening-type could help my Replication Arcana to undergo a third awakening. It would be even stronger, and the cooldown even shorter!

“Besides, the Gene Arcana enhancement type can greatly enhance my inner strength and greatly reduce the time I need to break through to Level 6. It is also a good choice!”

Ling Jiu demurred.

The former enhances his Replication!

The latter strengthens his inner powers!

Both were tempting!

It won’t be easy to choose!

“What should I choose?”

The camp commander smiled. “If I were you, I would choose a deep awakening-type treasure of heaven and earth like the Bottle Tree Heart.”

“Ugh…”

Ling Jiu was stunned.

“You have a very rare Replication Arcana, and if I’m not mistaken, all of the Arcana you had replicated should be permanent!”

The camp commandant’s voice rose. “Your Replication Arcana is very powerful, and if I were you, I will strengthen the Replication Arcana and perfect it as much as possible!”

Ling Jiu was dumbstruck.

He had never told anyone about his Replication Arcana, but now the camp commandant had just mentioned it in front of his face. How did he find out?

Ling Jiu panicked a little!

Seems like my guess was right on the mark!

Seeing Ling Jiu’s expression, the camp commandant knew he was right, and smiled. “Ling Jiu, did you know how I saw through it?”

Ling Jiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“It’s like this, in order to ensure the safety of all of the students, the training camp will install a nanobot on every student!”

The camp commandant explained. “It has tracking, positioning, and real-time filming and other functions, so your every move in the wilderness is under our watch!”

“Oh, I see!”

Ling Jiu smiled bitterly.

“…Especially for the best students like you lot are the company’s high-level, elite, central pillars, so the protection of all of you cannot be slack!”

The camp commandant explained. “Should anyone of you run into danger, every trainer in the camp, me included, will likely come to your rescue.”

Ling Jiu expressed understanding.

“So, all of your performance in the wilderness is well known to us, and so far, you have shown four different types of Arcana, Earth Manipulation, Gravity, Tungsten Form, and Blink!”

The camp commander smiled as he looked at Ling Jiu. “Of course, a person would not have four of such powerful Arcanas at the same time, especially a low-level Arcanist like you!”

“So, I thought of the Replication Arcana that had collectively appeared this year!”

“Immediately after, I looked up your resume, and noted that all four Arcanas that you have at the moment had appeared in your friends and teammates! So, I guessed that you have a Replication Arcana!”

“I thought I was being very secretive about it, but in the end, it was still exposed!” Ling Jiu smiled bitterly.

“Ling Jiu, I understand very why you are hiding your Replication Arcana. After all, your Replication Arcana is very perfect, and overpowered to boot!”

The camp commandant then laughed. “But I can responsibly tell you that you don’t really need to worry about exposing your Replication Arcana!”

“Why?”

Ling Jiu was slightly taken aback.

The camp commandant stood up and slowly walked around the room. “Do you know what is the goal of the company’s creation of the super training camp, and the ultimate reserve camp?”

Ling Jiu shook his head.

“It’s to search for young talents like you, and cultivate your talents as soon as possible to deal with the crisis we are facing!”

“A crisis?”

Ling Jiu was stunned.

“As for what exact crisis it is, you don’t have to know for the time being. You only need to know that the world is far more dangerous than what you see, and we are facing an unprecedented crisis!”

The camp commandant’s voice was low. “A crisis enough to see human’s extinction!”

“An extinction crisis?”

Ling Jiu was startled. “Sir, is it that serious?”

“I’ll give you a simple statistic, and you’ll understand soon enough!”

The camp commandant said slowly. “Last year, a total of 11 Level 9 Arcanists, 103 Level 8 Arcanists, and 862 Level 7 Arcanists had been killed worldwide!”

Ling Jiu was shocked to the core. “Sir… Sir, how could a Level 8 and 9 Arcanist get killed? Those are the most powerful Arcanists there are!”

“There are no absolutes in this world. Even a Level 9 Arcanist may perish!”

The camp commandant’s voice sank. “So, we are in a very precarious situation. There are people bleeding and sacrificing their lives at every moment. The short peace we have now is exchanged using the lives of many elite Arcanists!

“As more and more elite Arcanists perish, the situation face becomes more and more perilous. We urgently need more fighting strength, and you… all of you are that source of strength!

“So, you don’t have to worry that something bad will happen to you once your Replication Arcana is exposed. It’s a totally unnecessary worry!

“The stronger you become, the more overpowered you are, the happier and more welcoming we are!”

“I see!”

Ling Jiu nodded heavily.

“Very good!”

The camp commandant nodded in return. “So now you know what to choose?”

“I’ll choose the Bottled Tree Heart!”

“Very good!”

The camp commander opened another page. “Here’s the top-tier Gene Arcana elixirs!”

As Ling Jiu looked at the various Genetic Arcana elixirs, he asked, “Sir, do you have any suggestions?”

“Your Replication Arcana is already overpowered enough, so for the Gene Arcana elixirs, I think you can just pick whatever you like. I think the Turbellarian Self-Healing Elixer is pretty good!

“Using this elixir, you will gain a decent self-healing ability, and even when you’re wounded, you can heal up in a very short amount of time, and greatly increase your survivability!”
