My Special Ability is Perfect Replication

Chapter 46: Class Reunion? Assassin’s Strike

Ling Jiu kind of looked forward to the super training camp. There would be the best training environment, the best instructors, and the best training resources!

Of course, the large number of geniuses and prodigies was another reason Ling Jiu was willing to join the super training camp!

The super training camp would gather many geniuses, as well as prodigies, and by the end, his Arcana Replication ability would certainly shine!

“Right, one more thing!”

At the end of the conversation, Luo Jia said, “Our people have looked into Yang Yuting’s attempt to dispatch someone to kidnap your father.

“Sadly, Yang Yuting handled the matter too cleanly, so our people could not find a lot of strong evidence. Therefore, trying to take him to court may not work.”

“Understood!”

Ling Jiu was very calm. “Since I can’t go about it the legal way, I shall go by the rules of the Arcanists. In any case, since he has wronged me, he has to pay the price, right?”

“That’s up to you. Just make sure you do a clean job.” Luo Jia nodded.

“However, if you want to deal with him in the near future, you might need to shelf it. According to the information I received, he’s currently not in the base city.”

“Not in the base city? Where did he go?” Ling Jiu frowned.

“It looks like something happened back home, so he went back to Chang’an Base City,” Luo Jia said. “Don’t worry, I’ll let you know immediately once he is back here!”

“Thank you, Ms. Luo!”

After leaving Ms. Luo’s office, Ling Jiu went to one of the company’s training rooms. He plugged the USB into a microcomputer and checked the advanced-level Gene Arcana secret technique he had just obtained.

Since it was still too early to clock off work, Ling Jiu planned to learn this advanced Gene Arcana secret technique to improve the efficiency of his Gene Arcana meditation.

“The Sea of a Hundred Rivers... Advanced Gene Arcana secret technique... can pull in Gene Arcana within a kilometer radius... the absorption of Gene Arcana is extremely fast...”

Ling Jiu stared at the microcomputer and concentrated on studying the Sea of a Hundred Rivers.

Be it any Gene Arcana secret technique, the essence was to draw in the surrounding Gene Arcana, so it was not difficult to learn once you knew the gist of it.

In less than one afternoon, Ling Jiu had basically learned the Sea of a Hundred Rivers.

An invisible suction power was released from his body, and the Gene Arcana within a kilometer were all pulled toward him, swarming him like swallows returning to their nests.

After that, they poured into Ling Jiu’s body as much as possible, blending in with the Gene Arcana that were already inside his body and becoming virtually indistinguishable.

Ling Jiu could feel his “inner strength” strengthening at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

If the first time he absorbed Gene Arcana, he could only absorb one per second, a low-level Gene Arcana secret technique would allow him to absorb ten per second, and an intermediate-level technique allowed one hundred Gene Arcana per second.

Now... it was one thousand per second.

The efficiency was just not the same!

“If I had the advanced Gene Arcana secret technique from the beginning, I’d probably be a Level 5 Arcanist by now I guess?”

Ring ring!

His phone’s ringtone suddenly reverberated.

Ling Jiu opened his eyes and discovered that the call was from Li Kai. He could not help but sigh. The feeling of being interrupted when he was at this stage of comprehension was really not cool, Yet, since it was Li Kai’s call, there was little he could say.

“Ol’ Li!”

“Ol’ Ling, are you still in the office?”

“I am!”

“Right, lemme tell you something!” Li Kai said.

“Just now, Xu Gang, our ex-class monitor called. He said that there’s going to be a class reunion tomorrow and we are invited to go there. Are you going?”

“A class reunion?” Ling Jiu was dumbstruck.

“Huh? What’s the occasion? Why are there still class reunions?”

“Hahaha, Ol’ Ling, you’ve been away from school for far too long!”

Li Kai guffawed and said, “But yeah, we awakened our Arcana back in May and haven’t been to school since, so yeah, it’s totally possible for you to forget this!

“Listen, a month after we left school, didn’t the rest take the university entrance examination? Some went to university, some joined the workforce, and some even joined the army. Everyone went their separate ways, and we have not seen each other for half a year now!

“There was the winter break recently, so everyone thought of having a reunion. That’s how this gathering came about. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the class chat group and see for yourself!”

“The class chat group?”

“Didn’t I pull you into the group last time?”

“I immediately blocked it the moment you pulled me in. They are just too noisy!”

“...Fine! No wonder you never show up in the group! Anyway, are you going to the reunion or not?”

“What’s there to go? Isn’t the class reunion just a gathering to show off? I’m not about to bench-warm for someone else!”

“Stand in someone else’s shade? Oh, my dear Master Ling, you are a person worth tens of billions now. There’s hardly anyone richer than you in the entire base city. Who dares to show off in front of you and make you their benchwarmer?”

“Uh... there’s that I suppose!”

Ling Jiu was taken aback but still shook his head. “Forget it, I’ve just bought an advanced Gene Arcana secret technique, and I’m getting a feel of the one-thousand-times efficiency. So, how would I have the time to go to the reunion? Nope, not going!” action

...

Li Kai went silent before a sentence popped out between his teeth. “And you dare to say that others are showing off. You’re a proper showboater! I’m telling you, Ol’ Ling, you’ll lose me if you keep being like this!”

“Hahaha! Who’s showing off to you? I’m just telling you the truth!”

Ling Jiu laughed out loud. “All right, I’ll pass on the reunion. Have fun there, and eat my share as well!”

“You’re really low-key, huh!” Li Kai said in a huff.

“I actually wanted to take you along to show off. Who would have thought... Ah, forget it. Fine, if you don’t want to go, I’ll go there myself!”

“Go, go!”

Once he hung up the phone, Ling Jiu looked at the time. It was time to get off work, so he left the office. He then went to the market to get some fresh vegetables before he headed home.

After not going back for half a month, Ling Jiu had really started to miss his father and sister.

“I held you with my left hand, and left you with my right; when my palms meet, you shall forever be in my heart...”

Ling Jiu carried bags of groceries as he hummed a little tune. Just as he approached the door of the villa and took out his key to open it...

Buzzz!

A flash of cold light suddenly materialized near Ling Jiu’s throat and stabbed him there. The cold light caused a sharp pain in Ling Jiu’s neck.

“Damn it!”

Ling Jiu’s hair stood on end as he immediately disappeared from the spot he was standing in earlier.

“Hmmm?”

A soft whisper suddenly rang out as the void rippled, and a young man in black sportswear appeared, holding a sharp blade.

“Who are you?”

Ling Jiu stared at the other party coldly.

“Ling Jiu, male, 16 years old, awakened the Earth-type Arcana on May 5th, 2031, and revealed Gravity Arcana half a year later!”

The young man played with the blade in his hand. “Yet, you’ve clearly just used another Arcana. That means you’re different from what the information suggested. Can you tell me what Arcana that was?”

“Why don’t you ask Hades then!”
