Second ability!
"...."
".....…"
Silence.
Zhang Wei looked at the boy and couldn't help but wonder if perhaps he was brain damaged.
The other three seemed to have reached a similar sentiment as the stared at the boy.
"….." Li Renjie's face twitched at the awkward silence.
[Hahahahaha! You're the best! I'm the luckiest system ever!]
Zhang Wei quickly ignored the boy and prepared to fight.
The bald man seemed irritated by the boy he turned to one of the two lanky brothers.
"Little lanky you take care of the brat; big lanky you take care of Zhang Wei. Make it quick."
The moment he issued the order the two lanky brothers moved, the younger going straight towards Li Renjie! He must have been running at least thirty per hour!
Li Renjie didn't move.
Right as little lanky was about to reach him, his left eye rippled and began to glow with a silver light.
Moon in The Lake!
A thin silver line shot out of one the pupils in his left eye and collided with little lanky!
Bang!
Two palms clashed!
Two figures jumped back at the same time.
!!!
Zhang Wei and the other men had no idea what just happened!
Staring at the scene they suddenly saw something incredible!
A silver little lanky!
An exact copy of him!
How?!
They quickly remembered the boy's words before the silver figure appeared, the three all turned look at him at the same time.
His silver mirror likes eyes seemed even brighter than before!
Especially his left eye!
It was quite literally shining!
Faint ripples could be seen drifting across its surface.
Li Renjie looked quite pleased with himself as he stared at little lanky's reflection. He had full control over this doppelganger, it would be an exact replica of the original, from their appearance to their power, and even their skills!
Seeing that the reflection didn't disappear after the initial clash like with the chicken, Li Renjie began to piece somethings together.
'Looks like the difference in strength between myself and the target can't be too great. The clearer the reflection the closer in strength they are to me and the longer I can maintain the reflection. That chicken must have been incredible, and the old man in purple must have been some sort of monster! Still, I need more data.'
He quickly turned to look at Zhang Wei again after nodding to himself.
"So?"
Zhang Wei's mouth was hanging open as he started at the silver eyed boy and the silver little lanky next to him.
'A cultivator! And one that's able to use cultivation techniques! Has he passed the body cultivation realm?! Is he at the meridian establishment ream?!'
As a common man, this was the only thing Zhang Wei could think of.
Li Renjie having a blood lineage never crossed his mind.
'To think that even a kid this young would be a grand cultivator! But then why would he be sleeping in the streets?' his thoughts began to take a tangent before he shook his head and stared back at the boy.
"Deal!"
He was decisive, the moment he saw an opportunity he took it!
Little lanky was stunned as he looked back at his brilliant silver twin.
It was a surreal feeling.
He felt as if he was staring into a mirror.
He could only see himself.
Everything was the same, even the mannerisms and expressions.
Strange.
Baldy and big lanky quickly came to his side and prepared to engage.
"Little brat, I don't know what sort of weird tricks you're using but your little copy can't fight all three of us!" the bald man said as his body began emitting a white mist. He could tell that Li Renjie himself had no cultivation to speak of, he just needed to beat him to end this entire farce.
Just as the words left his mouth two streaks of light shot from the boys left eye.
Soon two silver figures came into view.
One tall and bald, the other tall and lanky.
!!!
Baldy and big lanky's eyes popped out their heads as they stared at their doppelgangers!
Behind Li Renjie, Xueyue's little mouth hung open and she stared at him with even more curiosity.
He could also use those otherworldly abilities.
Who was he?
Li Renjie was feeling good, even after making three doppelgangers his eye felt fine!
"Beat them till they can't move!" he said with a sinister smile.
It all felt so natural to him.
The three silver figures shot out toward their counterparts and began to engage!
"Dammit!" The bald man leapt forward and met his doppelganger head on!
Bang!
Two fists clashed!
Neither budged!
They were equal!
"Impossible!" the bald man was stunned before quickly dodging a kick coming from his right!
Soon the trio found each other embroiled in a fight with themselves!
Ridiculous!
Zhang Wei watched on in amazement before looking towards the smiling boy.
'If I had strength like this, I would never have to degrade myself!'
Li Renjie watched on as he put his hands behind his back and slightly raised his chin. He was feeling quite pleased with himself.
Soon enough though he noticed that they fight had come to a standoff.
Moon in the lake, at the end of the day was a supplementary skill.
As long as he himself wasn't much weaker than the target the reflections couldn't be defeated, but that also meant they couldn't defeat the originals either!
They were evenly matched in every way.
'I wonder what would happen if I'm stronger than the target? I need to more test subjects to gauge myself,' he pondered before focusing back on the situation.
Even if they were equally matched, he wasn't worried. He still believed that his eyes were perfect even if he had lost his cultivation manual.
After all, he designed them!
"This is a good time to test it."
He glanced at the three men fighting before focusing on his left eye again.
From the second pupil there were no ripples, instead both pupils began to slowly rotate counterclockwise around each other as the ripples from the first one began to sink and vanish into the second one.
The second ability's first form!
Receding Tides!
From his left eye a strong pulling force suddenly manifested and targeted the three men!
!!!
The bald man and the two lanky brothers suddenly felt their body become heavy as they began to be drawn towards the boy!
"Bastard! What sort of trick is this?!" The bald man struggled against the pulling force as his muscles bulged.
He couldn't understand what was happening!
A fist suddenly came flying at him!
His doppelganger was attacking again!
The pulling forced had no effect on him!
!!!
He couldn't dodge as he was being drawn towards the boy, he could only meet the fist with his own! However, the moment the threw his punch he was horrified to find out that his arm felt ten times heavier than usual! He wouldn't be able to reach in time!
'What sort of ability is this?!' he panicked.
It felt as if he was trapped in the rapid currents of a massive river!
It just wouldn't stop!
Bang!
The fist struck his face!
A few teeth flew out his mouth as the iron hard fist landed.
The two lanky brothers weren't fairing any better as they too tried to resist the pull and fight their doppelgangers. They were only at the fourth and fifth level of the body tempering realm respectively, as such they found it harder to resist the force drawing them in.
Soon, two miserable cries sounded as they were struck down by their own hands!
The moment they were knocked out, the doppelgangers turned into specks of light and vanished.
The bald man could just barely hold his own as he could somewhat resist the force on his body; however, just as he was beginning to acclimate the pulling force vanished!
Before he could relax, he suddenly sensed his body being propelled forward away from the boy! It felt as if the river that had been dragging him in suddenly and violently changed directions!
He couldn't resist!
The second form!
Advancing Tides!
Li Renjie's pupils began to rapidly spin clockwise as he activated the second from!
This time rather than vanishing into the second pupil, the ripples being emitted from his other pupil began to grow in intensity as they spun!
The change was far to sudden!
The bald man couldn't react when he saw a knee flying towards his face!
'Nooo!!!'
Bang!
The moment the strike landed his mind went blank and he lost consciousness. His doppelganger also turned into specks of silver light and vanished at the same time.
Xueyue's eyes shined as she watched all the events from behind.
'He didn't even move!' she couldn't help but be amazed.
Zhang Wei had long been watching with mouth hanging open, this little boy was a monster!
He didn't even need to do anything himself!
The three unconscious brothers lay on the cold alley floor looking worse for wear, but still breathing.
Li Renjie turned to look back at Xueyue before motioning for her to come.
By now the sun had already began to rise and the city was beginning to wake, they couldn't stay here any longer. Besides, he just got them some spending money! No more sleeping outside for them!
Of course, he had no idea how much money he would getting but judging from the earlier conversation and the young man in black's unwillingness, it should be quite substantial.
Xueyue stood up before slowly coming behind him.
He smiled at her before walking towards Zhang Wei.
"Our agreement," he said as he stuck his hand out.
Zhang Wei didn't seem to mind as he quickly grabbed another small bag from his robe and put a quarter of the gold coins in it and handed it to the child. He didn't need to go the guard's office anymore, his eyes glowed as he looked at the young boy.
Li Renjie received the bag and was pleased by how heavy it felt.
"With that our agreement is finished, farewell."
He and Xueyue slowly began to make their way out of the alley.
Zhang Wei seeing them about to leave couldn't help but call out.
"Wait, young man!"
"Hm?" Li Renjie turned to glance at him.
Bang!
Zhang Wei fell to his knees!
"Please accept my request!"
