254 Chapter 247: Last man standing! (2/2)

While he has no qualms of people dying in this trial, the fact that he was the first one to beat this Clone still unnerved him.

After all, this was a trial meant to temper a cultivator, so fatalities was always part of the equation. However, to think that for all those uncountable years, where numerous cultivators before him had all failed while he was the only one whom had successfully cleared this last trial..

Isn't this trial a little bit too difficult?

No, perhaps that was even a sheer understatement!

This was pretty much impossible to be cleared!

”What? Of course not!” the Clone quickly waved its hand to deny the matter.

”The criteria to pass this trial was actually not to defeat me, but for the original to push themselves beyond their normal limits! Once they have done that, regardless if they lost against me, they would actually pass the trial!” the clone continued as it lightly chuckled.

Puu!!

This revelation caused Duan Li to almost spurt another mouthful of blood.

Bastard!

Why didn't you tell this to me earlier?

I could've just pushed myself a little bit than normal and passed this trial withoutincurring this much injury on me!

Had it not because he was sapped of all strength and talking was the only ability he has right now, Duan Li would love to go for another round with this Clone of his.

”But.. how can no one was able to defeat you all these while? As far as my analysis went during our battle, you are only as strong as the original themselves..” Duan Li said after he pondered for a while.

Since this trial was meant for Foundation Establishment realm cultivators, how is defeating something like that even pose a challenge?

As if the Clone was able to read Duan Li's inner thoughts, it quickly replied, ”Don't you remember my hidden abilities? I could increase my strength by several folds! Not everyone is a monster like you..”

”Ohh..” realization dawned upon Duan Li.

Thinking about it, the Clone was right.

Since the Clone's overall battle prowess scaled with the original, the stronger the cultivator, the stronger will be its abilities. Therefore, if the Clone were to stack its own abilities on top of that..

It was no wonder why no one could win!

Is this even a fair trial?

”You are truly out of my expectations. This is my first time copying an original with battle prowess on a level beyond the mortal realm. In addition, you even won against me!” the Clone applauded and nodded its head approvingly, and due to its aged appearance after exerting itself to the maximum before, he seemed like an elder acknowledging a talented student of his!

Somehow, although the other party looked sincere in congratulating him, Duan Li felt like he wanted to slap the Clone for saying that.

Screw you!

”Hmph! It was only natural. After all, how can an original be unable to beat their own clone? Perhaps, all those you've encountered thus far were all weak cultivators!” Duan Li said in his defense.

The Clone wanted to laugh out loud when it heard this.

Weak?

How can those cultivators that managed to enter the Eternal Maze be weak?

Its only that you are a monster in your own class..

”Anyway, what do I get for being the last man standing in this match?”
