I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

The more golden energy he had, the more time he could save.

Su Ze gazed down at the beach, which was teeming with Marine Beasts like a swarm of ants, and decided to use a move he had always wanted to try—transforming into a torrent!

He had never used this move before because he hadn’t been large enough. His previous limit was only forty meters in height; if he turned into water, it wouldn’t amount to much—a small stream at best, utterly incapable of creating the terror and sheer force of a flash flood.

But now, thanks to the enhancement from the Bloodthirsty skill, his body had grown explosively, making it the perfect time to try.

’What’s that? You say Marine Beasts aren’t afraid of a flood?’

’What if the water is electrified? What if the water is poisoned?’

’What if the water is electrified, poisoned, and can also explode?’

With a great SPLASH, the hundred-meter giant Su Ze rapidly liquefied, cascading down like a waterfall and crashing onto the beach.

The surging current rushed across the beach, sweeping up every Marine Beast in its path. Though the torrent was only tens of meters long and wide, its power was astonishing. Not a single beast caught within it escaped alive.

Once swept into the ”flood,” the Marine Beasts were first hit with a powerful electrical charge. If the shock killed them, they were immediately ”spat” out. If not, they were hit with a volley of spikes.

After this one-two punch, basically no Marine Beast could survive; they were either electrocuted or blown to bits.

In Su Ze’s wake, only a trail of Marine Beast corpses remained.

And with every Marine Beast that died, the ”flood” grew stronger and larger...

By the time Su Ze had swept a few miles down the coastline, his tens-of-meters-long current had truly grown into a torrent hundreds of meters long!

The torrent was like a savage beast, devouring all life and leaving nothing but devastation in its wake. Even Tier-4 Marine Beasts turned tail and fled at the sight of it.

The Dongli soldiers had long since retreated behind the city walls. They held their positions, dealing with the few stray Marine Beasts that got through while watching Su Ze’s one-man show.

With Su Ze’s help, the pressure on the Lihai City defensive line eased considerably.

Witnessing this, Ning Yushen and Li Fayi couldn’t help but marvel. They were also at the Saint level, but they possessed none of Su Ze’s incredible techniques or power.

”That kid... I’m afraid he’s already become Dongli’s top fighter... I mean, aside from the Saint Envoy. I don’t think even Mr. Gu could beat him!” Li Fayi exclaimed in amazement.

”What a pity,” Ning Yushen sighed.

”What’s a pity?” Li Fayi asked, confused.

”It’s a pity Jin has been at Dongli University for so long with no progress between her and Su Ze. If I’d known how things would turn out when I first met him, I would have forced him to get engaged to Jin right then and there.”

”Woman, you must be desperate for a son-in-law! How old is Su Ze? He’s only eighteen...” Li Fayi trailed off, a sudden realization dawning on him.

That’s right. Su Ze was only eighteen, yet he was already this powerful. Even the legendary Lin Hua wasn’t this strong at eighteen, was he?

’His future potential is limitless!’

He cleared his throat. ”It suddenly occurred to me that my youngest daughter is about his age. Perhaps we should arrange an engagement...”

Ning Yushen shot him a look. ”Are you out of your mind? I was just at your daughter’s one-month celebration last month...”

...

After rampaging through the horde of Marine Beasts for a while, Su Ze finally noticed that his body had stopped growing and his power was no longer increasing.

’Have I reached the limit?’

Su Ze understood that every skill had its limits. The Bloodthirsty skill was, after all, only a Divine Skill Prototype; it couldn’t possibly allow him to power up indefinitely.

’If I could keep stacking power like this, I could just clear out the entire ocean and become a god!’

Now that his power had hit its ceiling, continuous slaughter would only serve to maintain his current level of strength, not enhance it further.

He could still acquire golden energy, however, so Su Ze could continue farming beasts to accumulate it.

But since his power could no longer increase, he wanted to see if he could take a shot at the two Tier-5 Marine Beasts.

Because he had been mechanically farming beasts, Su Ze didn’t have a clear sense of his own strength now that he had reached his limit.

This was the perfect opportunity to test his mettle against the two Tier-5 beasts.

The several-hundred-meter-long torrent roared toward the two Tier-5 Marine Beasts. Along the way, Su Ze swept up hundreds more beasts, but he didn’t kill them, instead storing them within his watery form as reserves.

Fighting Tier-5 Marine Beasts would likely be a battle of attrition, after all. If he couldn’t score a kill within ten seconds, he would be forced back to his original form.

That’s why he stored all these beasts inside his body—to kill one whenever necessary to reset the timer.

The two Tier-5 Marine Beasts were still locked in a fierce battle with the Dongli Saint Envoy. The destructive power of a Tier-5 clash was staggering; no human or beast dared venture within several thousand meters, terrified of being caught in the fallout.

The ground here had collapsed, allowing seawater to pour in only to be instantly vaporized. The terrifying heat continuously melted the sand into glass. The slightest aftershock from the battle striking the ocean’s surface could kick up towering waves.

One of the two beasts was a massive, ever-changing Coral Monster that constantly shifted its body into more advantageous forms during the fight.

The other was a Seven-Colored Giant Conch over two meters tall. Its shell shimmered with a magnificent, rainbow-like gradient that could mesmerize anyone who gazed upon it, hinting at some kind of mental influence.

Between the two beasts, the Coral Monster was the main attacker, while the Seven-Colored Conch played a support role.

For the most part, the Coral Monster was the one fighting the Dongli Saint Envoy, while the Seven-Colored Conch launched periodic sneak attacks, using mental assaults and Illusion Techniques to interfere, much to the Saint Envoy’s frustration.

Whenever the Dongli Saint Envoy tried to attack the Seven-Colored Conch, it would simply withdraw into its hard, colorful shell, leaving the Envoy with no way to harm it.
