"Huh?"
A collective gasp resounded throughout the hall as most of the students didn't know what the light represented and they couldn't help but look at Elijah with scorn. So what if his talent was excellent?Even though the Clone ability was super rare, it was still considered the most useless as there was nothing one could do with the ability. At most, they would be able to create clones of themselves.Even if they did create clones of themselves, they didn't know any destructive spell to fight and could only wait to be slaughtered. Besides, all the clones created would be ordinary.At most, he could only become an average person in the future and waste his life away doing some menial jobs. He was a disgrace to his elder sister and parents.The principal and other staff who were present shook their heads as they looked at Elijah in disdain. What good was it for them to have such trash in their school, they would only become a laughing stock.At this moment, the principal made up his mind to expel Elijah right after the ceremony; he was not going to have such trash in his school.Elijah looked at the principal who was looking at him without hiding the disdain in his eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head then, walked down the podium slowly and then out of the hall followed by many eyes.Immediately he walked out, chatter broke out as everyone started whispering to each other."He's such a disgrace, he didn't awaken a useful element!""If I was the one, I'd go and commit suicide as I wouldn't be able to face anyone."Elijah sighed as he walked back home. Opening the door, he saw his sister sitting on the sofa waiting for him.Immediately she heard the door open, she turned around and looked at Elijah with a bright smile, excitedly, she asked."What ability did you awaken?""The clone ability," Elijah said as he walked toward his room."Huh?" Emily froze hearing what Elijah said and she couldn't help but feel disappointed.After a while, she came back to her senses, but Elijah was no longer there. Immediately, she ran towards his room, but his door was locked."Elijah, open the door." Emily sighed as she said slowly."No sister, I want to be alone for now," Elijah replied."Just open the door," Emily sighed as she tried to persuade."No sister, I want to be alone, leave me alone," Elijah replied.Emily sighed and didn't say anything, she could understand her brother's feelings and just wanted to console him. No matter how useless the ability he had awakened was, he was still her brother and nothing was going to change that position in her heart.After thinking for a while, she decided to let him be, she was sure that he was going to come around soon. Then she would be able to console him and reassure him that she wasn't in any way disappointed.Elijah on the other hand sighed as he lay on the bed looking at the ceiling. What the hell was happening? He had thought that he was going to awaken a destructive ability, but in the end, he had awakened the clone's ability.How was this supposed to help him? He wanted to be unrestrained in this life, he wanted to be the most powerful and wouldn't have to be tied to any kind of rules. But it seemed like all his dreams were all for naught.Besides, wasn't he supposed to awaken a golden finger, like a system or something? In the stories he had read, all the main characters had awakened a golden finger after something like this, and it seemed like his luck was terrible.After a while, Elijah sighed and sat up, instead of brooding, he was going to see how the ability worked. How was he going to use it, there was no way he was going to agree to be a mediocre person.Elijah crossed his legs and began to circulate his mana throughout his body, at first the circulation was slow, but soon, it became fast as the mana moved from his Mana core to all parts of his body.In no time, Elijah felt exhausted as the mana in his body which was very little to begin with was exhausted and he could go no more, panting as though he had just run a race, he opened his eyes.Huh?Elijah froze as he looked at his side, by his side was another figure which looked exactly like him."Master!" The figure immediately went on his knees just as Elijah was staring at it making him even more shocked.Elijah alighted from his bed slowly and looked at the figure carefully, he hadn't expected to produce a clone just by circulating his mana, besides, his mana was so small that it was only able to produce just one.Thinking like this, Elijah immediately sat on the bed, crossed his legs, and started to absorb the surrounding mana into his body. He wanted to see if he would be able to create another clone after absorbing enough mana into his body.After about an hour, Elijah opened his eyes, and much to his shock, the clone in front of him was also sitting cross-legged, absorbing mana just like he was.Just as Elijah was staring at the clone, the clone slowly opened its eyes."I...""Puff..."A low puffing sound came interrupting Elijah just as he was about to say something, and the next moment, the clone disappeared."What the fuck!" Elijah cursed as he wasn't expecting this.But the next moment, he froze as he felt a warm stream of energy flow into his body, adding to the mana inside his Mana core, but at the moment, the mana was too much and the space in his Mana core was unable to hold it."Crack!"A loud cracking sound suddenly resounded in Elijah's ears, and immediately he felt extremely comfortable, at the same time, the space in his Mana core became larger, about five times the size it was before.The large amount of mana rushed into his body quickly filling up the space in his mana core. Elijah smiled satisfactorily as he observed his body. There were no changes except for the fact that he had broken through.Closing his eyes once again, Elijah circulated the mana in his body, but this time, he was more proficient in doing it and thus wasn't exhausted as quickly as the first time.After a while, Elijah stopped and opened his eyes, this time there were two figures by his bedside looking exactly like him with no difference. At the moment he understood something, it looked like the higher his Realm, the higher the number of clones he would be able to create.As for the time he would be able to keep them, he couldn't say. But then he was going to test it out, it would be better that way."Master!"The two figures bowed immediately and Elijah looked at them."Sit down and cultivate," Elijah ordered.He figured out that since the two clones called him master, they were supposed to l
Elijah sat crossed-legged and began to circulate his mana, soon enough, two clones appeared beside him."Master." The two clones bowed just as Elijah opened his eyes."Take this," Elijah said, passing over the book containing the body-tempering technique to one of the clones.Taking the fire spell, he passed it to the other clone who also sat down and began to read through before starting to cultivate.Elijah sat as he watched with interest as these clones cultivated. Though he was quite skeptical about the success of cultivating the fire spell he still wanted to try.He wasn't going to give up no matter what the case was.In a flash, an hour passed, and with a puffing sound, the two clones dispersed.At the same time, Elijah felt a wave of energy rushed into his body. At that moment, his body was like a container as it hurriedly absorbed the energy. After a while, it stopped.All of a sudden, Elijah felt as though his blood was boiling as an excruciating pain took over him. Sweat cov
"How dare he come back today after what happened yesterday!""If I were the one, I would commit suicide for awakening such a useless ability!""If I was his sister, I'd kick him out of the house, he's a disgrace to her talent!"Voices drifted into Elijah's as he walked into the school, the students all around whispering to themselves as they looked at him in disgust.But then Elijah couldn't care less about them, he was feeling very gleeful in his heart. This morning, he discovered that the space in his mana core had increased a little, and as a result, he was able to create three clones.Though none of the clones lasted more than an hour before they dispersed, the improvement they fed back to his body was great. His understanding of the fireball spell had also increased.All he needed was some practice, and he would be able to raise the level of proficiency and also step into the next level of the fireball spell."Everyone listen up!" A loud voice came just as Elijah sat on his seat
Walking into the forest, Elijah looked around with a hint of amazement, the forest was not as he had thought, behind the tall trees was an entirely different world.It looked lush and the forest excluded a strange sense of beauty with flowers all around. Apart from the birds chirping away, there was nothing to be heard again.The place was extremely silent which showed that the students had long left that place. Well, then Elijah was not a bit surprised. This was a mystic realm and it would be surprising if it wasn't big enough.Sighing, Elijah looked around wondering where he should go. He had to hunt beasts and get their cores so he would be able to exchange them with cultivation resources at the school, but then, there were no beasts nearby.Besides, he was incompletely prepared. Apart from the fireball spell he had learned yesterday, he didn't know any other spell. Also, all he came with was a dagger his sister had given to him just in case.Besides, the spell was merely at the fi
Immediately, a huge wave of pain took over Elijah's senses as he felt numb. There was no need to open his eyes as he knew his clones had been killed.Also, he could tell that the direwolf was rushing towards him at the moment so there was no way he could stop chanting the spell.Once he did, that would be the end of everything and he would become a meal for the direwolf. But then the chant was not completed, and besides, he needed to concentrate or else the spell was going to end up backfiring.Knowing quite well the danger, Elijah concentrated on the chant and soon, his surroundings became extremely hot as the fireball spell slowly took shape.A big fireball, twice as big as Elijah's head was hovering in the air right in front of him. Elijah was shocked seeing this, but there was no time to be surprised, he had to act, the direwolf was almost close to him.Besides, he had only a shot, so he couldn't afford to miss it, or else he was going to become a meal to the direwolf.He could f
The direwolf froze mid-air, after a while, both Elijah and the direwolf fell to the floor, the direwolf's injured body serving as a cushion for Elijah.Elijah fell as a result of exhaustion as he was unable to resist the weight of the direwolf. After a while, Elijah sat up, not minding that he was inside a pool of blood, he began to absorb the blood essence of the direwolf.He had already wasted a lot of time and if he wasted even more time, the blood essence would dissipate.Blood essence was essential for warriors as the blood essence could help them increase their body Cultivation even though the effects were minimal. The higher the grade of a beast, the more valuable the blood essence was.Though the direwolf was just a ninth-grade beast, Elijah wasn't willing to let go of the blood essences. He had suffered a lot before he was able to kill the beast, there was no way he was going to let it go.After a while, Elijah opened his eyes, he could feel within himself that his body had b
Elijah ran at full speed not daring to stop even though he was tired, the fight with the direwolf had drained him completely, and now he had to run for his life again.Knowing well he couldn't outrun the direwolves if in case they had chosen to follow him, he didn't turn around to check if they were after him or not, all he wanted was a good distance.He was too tired to cast any spell, besides, he would be dead before he would be able to complete even a spell, also there were four direwolves, how the heck would he be able to create four fireballs when his mastery over one was not good at all.After sprinting for about ten minutes, Elijah tripped and landed face fist to the floor. Just as he was about to stand up and continue running, he suddenly frowned and then turned around slowly.Much to his surprise, there was no direwolf following him, it seemed like they had followed one of his clones.Seeing this, Elijah breathed a sigh of relief and fell back to the floor while panting heav
(Two Days Later)“Multiple fireballs!” Elijah yelled in his heart just as he finished chanting the spell and the next moment, five fireballs appeared out of thin air, hovering right in front of him.“Die!”Elijah laughed, pointing at the weak beast, a Terraclaw Lizard. A creature that looked like a lizard but a giant one, known for its perfect defense and also the ability to manipulate the earth element.But presently, the Terraclaw Lizard lay on the floor unable to move, blood flowing out of its body watching as the fireballs headed its way.After making sure that the beast was dead, Elijah strode forward, tore open its stomach, and then took its beast core, after which he turned around and walked away, not bothering to absorb its blood essences.It had already been two days since they were in the mystic Realm. Elijah had managed to fight numerous beasts and had managed to perfect the first level of the spell which was the fireball.He had just got through to the second stage of the
