Chapter 364: Mirror

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Two huge azure crystals floated in the air, as if they were made from the same mold.

Wang Xiao watched in a daze. His eyebrows were almost twisted together, but he did not notice it at all.

“What the hell is going on?”

Wang Xiao muttered to himself. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Zhou Xiruo. “Is that your [Lord Core]?”

“No, mine’s over there.”

Zhou Xiruo shook her head and pointed in another direction. The two azure crystals floating quietly in the sky above a city. “The other one is Uncle Tangs. It seems that only your [Lord Core] has a problem.”

Hearing this, Wang Xiao’s expression became even more unsightly, mainly because he could not figure out what was going on.

The [Lord Core] was the foundation of a lord. It was the foundation for the survival of the territory. Unless the enemy forcefully invaded the territory, there would not be any problems under normal circumstances.

Although Wang Xiao had experienced a few battles previously, he had not reached the extent of being invaded by the enemy. Naturally, it would not affect his [Lord Core].

“Could it be because he surrendered in the [Challenge Arena]?”

Wang Xiao suddenly had an idea, but he immediately shook his head and rejected it. “No, that’s not right. Previously, Andu also surrendered when he escaped from prison. It was just a loss of resources. It didn’t affect the [Lord Core]…”

Wang Xiao muttered and fell into deep thought, but he still had no clue. At least with his current knowledge reserves, he was completely unable to explain the scene before him.

In the end, Wang Xiao even thought of the Ten Thousand Times Increase System, but he knew that it was unlikely.

Putting aside the fact that there was no chance of a ten thousand times increase in the core, even if there was, there shouldn’t be two [Lord Cores] floating in the air. Instead, there should be ten thousand and one of them.

“Are our eyes playing a trick on us?”

Wang Xiao, who was at his wit’s end, suddenly had a ridiculous idea. Although he knew that it was impossible for the two of them to see wrongly, he still rubbed his eyes hard.

As expected, there were still two identical [Lord Core] floating in the air.

Wang Xiao frowned and did not say anything. This time, he really did not know what to do.

“Why don’t we ask someone else?”

Zhou Xiruo suggested, “Let’s find Academy Head Huang or Commander Chen.

They’re experienced. They might know what’s going on.”

Wang Xiao was still silent. His eyes flickered as he pondered for a while.

Finally, he said, “Wait here. I’ll go up and take a look first.”

“No way!”

Zhou Xiruo’s expression changed as she hurriedly pulled Wang Xiao back. “We don’t know what’s going on now. What if there’s danger?”

“That’s my [Lord Core]. Even if it’s dangerous, I have to go!”

Wang Xiao smiled bitterly. Then, he patted the back of Zhou Xiruo’s hand. “Don’t worry. Nothing has happened so far so it should be safe. Moreover, even if we go to the Academy Head and the others, we have to explain the exact situation, right?”

Zhou Xiruo thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she did not continue to stop him. “Then I’ll go with you!”

“No way.”

Wang Xiao shook his head without thinking. Without waiting for Zhou Xiruo to speak, he said, “It’s not that I’m afraid of danger. I need someone to observe the overall situation from afar. If the two of us go together, how can we react to an accident?”

..Alright then.” Zhou Xiruo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. “Then be careful.”

“Got it.”

Wang Xiao nodded. Then, with a thought, he floated towards the two cores.

Not long after, Wang Xiao arrived in front of one of the [Lord Core]. He raised his hand and a panel popped up, indicating that this was his original [Lord Core].

Nodding in his heart, Wang Xiao wanted to check the other one, but just as he turned around, he suddenly stopped as if someone had tapped his acupoint— he actually saw another him in the air!

“Wang Xiao”, who was opposite him, floated beside the [Lord Core]. His face was also filled with surorise.

At that moment, Wang Xiao felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his mind. He immediately froze on the spot and did not dare to move. However, at the same time, he felt that it was a little strange because Zhou Xiruo, who had stayed on the ground, did not give any warning. It seemed that she did not notice that there was another person in the air.

“Am I the only one who can see?”

Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. He turned his eyes to see Zhou Xiruo’s reaction, but he found that at the same time he turned his eyes, “Wang Xiao” opposite him was also looking at the ground, as if he was looking at a mirror…

“Mirror? Mirror!”

With a flash of inspiration, Wang Xiao tentatively raised his right hand. Sure enough, the “Wang Xiao” opposite him immediately copied. However, he raised his left hand.

Following that, Wang Xiao changed a few more movements. “Wang Xiao” on the other side also followed suit, but his movements were in the opposite direction.

“So that’s what happened…”

After figuring out the reason, Wang Xiao laughed bitterly. When he recalled how careful he was just now, he couldn’t help but feel that it was slightly funny.

“Xiruo! It’s fine! Come up!”

Wang Xiao lowered his head and shouted. Although Zhou Xiruo did not know what was going on, she still floated over immediately.

At the same time, Wang Xiao was still observing himself. When Zhou Xiruo flew into a ten-meter range, another “Zhou Xiruo” appeared in the sky opposite her.

“Ah! Who is it!”

Zhou Xiruo was shocked when she saw the figure that suddenly appeared, but she immediately reacted. She stopped beside Wang Xiao and asked tentatively, “There… is a mirror there?”

“Girls usually look in the mirror more often. Sure enough, their reactions are faster.”

Wang Xiao laughed bitterly in self-mockery. As he spoke, he urged his body to fly forward. “Wang Xiao” opposite him also flew towards him at the same time. Soon, the two of them met somewhere in the air.

Wang Xiao raised his hand and extended it to the opposite side. “Wang Xiao” also extended his hand. The two palms perfectly overlapped, but he could not feel any contact.

“This is a thick mirror.”

Wang Xiao looked at the two overlapping palms and said. Then, he pushed his hand forward. It seemed that the “mirror” was pushed a little, but it still felt like there was nothing.

Zhou Xiruo also calmed down at this moment. She flew close and pressed her hand like Wang Xiao. Similarly, she didn’t touch anything. However, the hand of the “Zhou Xiruo” opposite her indeed overlapped with her palm.

“What’s going on?”

Zhou Xiruo frowned and asked in confusion, “Why is there a mirror in our territory?”

Wang Xiao shook his head and wanted to say that he didn’t know. Suddenly, he remembered something and his expression changed slightly. Before he could explain, he bent down and flew towards the bottom of the “mirror”.

When the “Wang Xiao” beside him disappeared, Wang Xiao’s figure turned and smoothly arrived at the back of the “mirror.”

“As expected!”
