Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 576: Chapter 575, Independent Replica of the Soul, Jiang Chen_1

The Charm King entered the basement.

The entire basement was filled with transparent glass bottles, and inside the bottles were all clones.

The Charm King walked to the fifth clone. It was Clone Number Five, ’Qi Sha’.

The Charm King released the clone. ’Qi Sha’ opened his eyes and knelt on the ground, saying, "Your Excellency."

"Rise!"

"Yes."

’Qi Sha’ stood up and respectfully took his place behind the Charm King. She continued to walk forward until she reached the sixth clone. It was the sixth clone, ’Jiang Chen’.

As the Charm King touched the glass bottle with her hand, a sphere of light appeared from her hand and was then inserted into the bottle, awakening ’Jiang Chen’.

The Charm King released ’Jiang Chen’.

’Jiang Chen’ knelt and bowed his head, saying, "Your Excellency."

"Rise!"

"Yes."

"You two, come out with me."

TAP TAP TAP...

The Charm King said, "Jiang Chen, attack Qi Sha now. Let me see your capabilities."

"Understood."

At that moment, ’Qi Sha’ and ’Jiang Chen’ engaged, each displaying their swordsmanship. Both were using the Heaven Cutting Swords Technique, but their Strength was clearly different.

They were evenly matched at first, but ’Jiang Chen’ ultimately used the Grand River Sword Intent to barely defeat Qi Sha.

The Charm King said, "Stop!"

Both stood with their hands behind their backs.

The Charm King looked at ’Qi Sha’ and asked, "How did you feel about the spar just now?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, I am not his equal."

"I know that, of course. How much of a difference would you say there is?"

"Roughly around a hundredfold."

The Charm King gazed at ’Jiang Chen’. What exactly was this young man’s secret? Why would two identical individuals show such different levels of Strength?

Between ’Qi Sha’ and his original, the clone was stronger.

Between ’Jiang Chen’ and his original, the clone was so much weaker, its combat power reduced a hundredfold.

The Charm King’s ability was to create clones. Her Talent, known as Mirror Image, allowed her to copy anyone she saw.

The only thing Mirror Image could not replicate was Law.

Even if she saw a Divine from the Continent of All-Gods, she could only copy the Divine’s physical form, but not the Power of Laws they wielded.

Gazing at ’Jiang Chen,’ the Charm King extended her right hand, pointed at him, and said, "Release Mirror Image."

Thereupon, ’Jiang Chen’ looked at the Charm King. He immediately knelt on the ground, saying, "Beautiful Charm King, may I ask your command? ’Jiang Chen’ will surely accomplish it for you."

"I want you to go to the Continent of All-Gods and marry Angelina."

"I will heed Your Excellency’s command."

"Good. I have freed your Soul. From now on, your Soul will be unique, possessing an independent personality. Do you know what to do now?"

"Yes. Even though you have freed my Soul, I remain your loyal subordinate."

The Charm King looked down at ’Jiang Chen’, who was kneeling on the ground, and gave a mysterious smile.

"Indeed, I can feel it. You’re not sincere. You say such things, but in your heart, you probably want to pin me to the ground and rough me up, don’t you!"

’Jiang Chen’ shook his head. "Your subordinate would never harbor such a thought."

"Alright. I have seen many people and have released many Souls. Some cursed me blatantly, some wished to assassinate me on the spot, and others, like you, submitted."

"By releasing your Soul, you now have the chance to become a Divine, just like Bai Yun’s wife."

"Now go!"

"Your subordinate takes his leave."

’Jiang Chen’ left the palace, cursing inwardly, Damn woman, making me kneel! I’ll fucking kill you one day. Go to the Continent of All-Gods and marry Angelina? I wish! But I can’t do that; the original would kill me. I better find a place to hide quickly. Seek refuge with the original? Forget it. If the original finds out, he’ll probably kill me instantly. Even though I’m a clone, I also aspire to become a Divine. It’s better to head to the Defiled God Continent; that’s where my destiny lies.

’Jiang Chen’ instantly flew towards the Defiled God Continent...

TAP, TAP, TAP...

A shadowy figure entered the palace and said, "Your Excellency, ’Jiang Chen’ has headed towards the Defiled God Continent. It seems he wants to seek refuge there."

The Charm King was startled.

Seeking refuge in the Defiled God Continent? This kid... I just released his Soul, and now he betrays me? Does he think my words are just hot air?

The Charm King had originally intended for ’Jiang Chen’ to go to the Continent of All-Gods and seek refuge there. She then wanted him to marry Angelina, which would certainly provoke his true self to act. Then, a Divine would surely kill Jiang Chen.

The Charm King felt Jiang Chen was her enemy.

"Immediately send people to capture ’Jiang Chen’. Tell him this is my command."

"Understood."

「Land of Sin.」

Jiang Chen’s eyes were tightly closed. In a daze, he saw many people chasing to kill him...

"Jiang Chen, do you dare to defy the Charm King’s orders?"

"Go to the Continent of All-Gods immediately, or die!"

"Are you seeking death?"

"To betray the Charm King’s orders is death!"

"KILL..."

Jiang Chen looked back. A bunch of clones want to kill me? Grand River Sword Intent...

All the clones died.

At this moment, Jiang Chen opened his eyes, recalling the scenes he had just experienced...

Is this ’me’? Or is it a dream? How could it be a dream? I’ve already taken control of my own Spirit World; it absolutely can’t be a dream. Could it be memories brought by a clone?

At this point, Jiang Chen nudged Daphne awake, who was beside him.

Daphne, still groggy, looked at Jiang Chen and asked, "What is it!"

"Some fragments suddenly appeared in my mind."

"What do you mean?"

"Enter my Dream Realm and help me analyze this. I suspect the Charm King is up to something."

"Okay."

「Inside the Dream Realm...」

Daphne looked at the scenes and asked, "Isn’t this something you’ve experienced?"

"No."

"So strange. Such realistic images—they’re not a dream, nor are they your experiences. It’s very likely they are things your clone experienced."

"Don’t you have clones? Have you ever had such images from them?"

"No."

"Then it’s weird. I’ll go ask Qi Sha what exactly is going on here."

"Okay..."

「Morning...」

「Inside a tavern.」

Qi Sha said, "I’ve heard from my master that the Charm King is a Lord from the ancient era, possessing an ability known as Mirror Image. Whoever she sees, she can replicate."

"The Mirror Image ability can lock a Soul and instantly transfer it to a clone’s Soul via the mirror image."

"Whatever the Mirror Image sees, whatever Cultivation Techniques it comprehends, can be acquired by the Charm King."

"You just mentioned seeing unfamiliar images. It’s probably because the Charm King has lifted the Mirror Image’s hold on that clone, allowing its personality to become independent and free."

Jiang Chen chuckled. "Independent and free... so, another ’me’?"

Qi Sha nodded. "Yes, but also not entirely another you. I’ve heard from my master that everyone has two sides. It could be your bright side or your dark side."

"Just like my clone; it represents my dark side."

"And those released through Mirror Image possess independent Souls and are no longer under the Charm King’s control."

"Obviously, the Charm King has released your clone and allowed him to become a true Wanderer."

Jiang Chen was bewildered. What in the world is this woman trying to do? Just release me to hunt me down and kill me? Has she gone mad!
