I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

Chapter 176: Chapter 162: Combination Skills: Laser Eye, Ten Thousand Thunders Celestial Prison Guide

Dongli University Training Hall.

The instructor in charge of the hall felt a headache coming on the moment he saw Su Ze.

This was because Su Ze was a ”VIP” with the privilege of training for free. Not paying was one thing, but the key issue was that Su Ze also broke expensive targets.

The last time he came, he’d destroyed an alloy dummy.

This time, Su Ze’s request was even more demanding than last time. ”Sir, could you set me up with a live target?”

He was here to test his new Electric Skills, so he definitely couldn’t use metal targets again—he wouldn’t be able to see the effects. Insulated rubber targets were even more out of the question. The best option was a live beast target.

The instructor’s face immediately fell. Live beast targets weren’t easy to come by. Not only did they have to be captured alive, but they also had to be fed and cared for. For safety reasons, the training hall didn’t keep many live targets on hand.

If Su Ze killed it, the loss would be significant.

”What rank do you need?” the instructor asked, regretting the question as soon as the words left his mouth.

’Why did I even ask? I should’ve just given him a Rank-1,’ he thought.

Su Ze thought for a moment, then said, ”A Rank-3... no, a Rank-2 will do!”

Seeing the instructor’s expression darken, Su Ze quickly changed his tune.

”Follow me.” The instructor led Su Ze to a fully enclosed training room. ”You wait here. I’ll open the gate in a moment, and the beast will enter from the back of the room. And you, kid, go easy on it. Don’t kill it.”

”Okay, don’t worry. I’ll know how much force to use,” Su Ze quickly promised.

The instructor shot him a look that clearly said, ’I’d be a fool to believe you,’ before locking the door and activating the fingerprint lock on the outside.

CLANG...

Behind Su Ze, a metal door inside the training room slowly slid open. This door connected to the beast-rearing chamber in the back.

OINK OINK!

With a loud snort, a large wild boar with a glossy black coat charged out.

The boar was only about a size larger than a normal one, but its tusks were the real issue. It looked like it had a bicycle mounted on each side of its mouth. Getting gored by one of those would surely leave you chilled to the bone, right?

Su Ze had no interest in getting into a close-quarters brawl with a Rank-2 Wild Boar Beast. He got straight to the point and began testing his newly developed combination skill.

He activated Eye of Truth, concentrating the range of his Perception Tentacles into two straight beams of sight aimed at the Wild Boar Beast.

An incredibly detailed image instantly appeared in Su Ze’s mind; he could even see the mites on the Wild Boar Beast’s skin.

Furthermore, Su Ze found he could perceive the direction of the Wild Boar Beast’s muscle exertion, the flow of evolutionary energy on its body, and more. Based on this, he could analyze its next move, giving him a certain degree of the Anticipate the Enemy’s Move effect.

Although it might only allow him to predict the enemy’s actions less than a second in advance, such an ability was still very practical in combat.

Watching the Wild Boar Beast charge straight at him with its massive tusks, Su Ze further concentrated the perception range of his Eye of Truth, narrowing it down to two ”rays” as thick as chopsticks. Then, he activated Thunder God Body.

Electrify!

BZZZZT...

Silver, snake-like currents shot from Su Ze’s eyes, following his line of sight to strike the Wild Boar Beast with pinpoint accuracy.

OINK...

The Wild Boar Beast let out a pitiful squeal and collapsed with a thud. Its four legs twitched, the movements growing weaker and weaker. Its bristles stood on end, completely scorched, and the smell of burnt meat drifted through the air.

Seeing that the Wild Boar Beast was on the verge of death, the door behind Su Ze burst open with a BANG. Several instructors rushed in and began a last-ditch rescue effort, using healing skills and feeding it potions.

The instructor in charge of the training hall shot Su Ze a cold, questioning glare.

Su Ze gave an awkward smile. ”I was already holding back. I didn’t expect piggy here to be so fragile.”

He was telling the truth. He hadn’t even used the maximum power output for that combination skill, Laser Eye.

If he had used its maximum power, a single blast of 100,000 volts, they could all be sitting around eating pork chops right now.

Fortunately, after a short while, thanks to the tireless efforts of the instructors, the Wild Boar Beast was successfully revived.

One of the instructors shook his head and said, ”This tusked boar has been a sparring partner in the training hall for decades. It nearly died at your hands.”

Su Ze said sheepishly, ”Um... I still have another combination skill I haven’t tested. Could you arrange another live target for me?”

He still wanted to try out Ten Thousand Thunders Celestial Prison Guide.

This involved using Eye of Truth to fill the surrounding space with Perception Tentacles and then instantly electrifying them...

Seeing the unfriendly looks on the instructors’ faces, Su Ze quickly added, ”I don’t have any rank requirements! Just give me an unranked one, that’ll be fine.”

In the end, the instructors tossed a swarm of watermelon-sized cockroaches into Su Ze’s training room.

These cockroaches were considered unranked beasts, similar to human evolvers who had absorbed extracts but had not yet completed their first evolution. Although not fully evolved, they possessed some Extraordinary abilities.

Su Ze filled the entire training room with his Perception Tentacles, then used Thunder God Body to electrify them.

In an instant, the entire training room flashed with electricity. Silver serpents danced wildly, weaving together into a roiling ocean of current.

Not a single one of the roomful of cockroaches could escape; all were enveloped in the surging tide of electricity.

In a moment, all the cockroaches lost their ability to move, electrocuted into pieces of charred carbon.

With a thought, Su Ze cut the ”power source” from his body, and the training room instantly returned to normal.

”Not bad. Another powerful AoE skill,” Su Ze nodded in satisfaction.

Under the stunned gazes of the instructors outside, Su Ze walked out of the training hall’s main entrance.

He then sent a voice message to Liou Wenxin, reporting the results of his experiment.

Liou Wenxin showed exceptional interest in this and asked Su Ze to come see her if he was free.
