Chapter 854 - 653 Stronger Mimic?_2

```

This was an evenly matched battle!

At this moment, the Mimic was exceedingly pleased because with the past few punches, he had almost completely mastered all of Long Yi’s techniques. He had been worried that Long Yi might refrain from using any skills out of fear of his mimicking capabilities, opting instead for brute strength. If that were the case, he might have been swiftly defeated, but now he had no such concerns. It was simply impossible; this Long Yi was a fool who didn’t understand the principle of caution!

Long Yi retreated and began to cast Magic Missiles, just like he had done when facing Jenna, with a sky full of Magic Missiles bursting forth. Simultaneously, the Mimic also cast Magic Missiles, meeting Long Yi’s missiles one by one, and incredibly, all the missiles in the sky were annihilated!

"Dragon Wing Slash!"

A huge crescent-shaped arc of light slashed out, with Fighting Aura howling forth. And unbelievably, the Mimic’s Dragon Wing Slash also roared toward it, the two slashes cutting through each other.

"Tsk, this is quite interesting."

Long Yi smiled, stopped attacking, and watched his opponent.

These techniques, these spells, were mimicked so perfectly and precisely that it made Long Yi feel unnatural. It was as if he was fighting himself.

"Little Zi, Mental Impact."

Suddenly, the Little Zi hidden within Long Yi released a Mental Impact. On the opposite side, another Long Yi was seen to be knocked out from Long Yi’s body!

"Oh, so that’s how it is."

Long Yi laughed.

This must be some kind of Mirror Image Magic, where everything Long Yi does, including his movements, would be mirrored onto his opponent. It was for this reason that all of Long Yi’s techniques were being effortlessly blocked by the other Long Yi. After all, fighting oneself would surely guarantee an evenly matched scenario, wouldn’t it?

At this moment, the commentators in the Arena had realized the principle behind this Magic. While they couldn’t deny the impressiveness of this Magic, once its mechanism was understood, there was a way to counter it.

"What can you do even if you know?" the Mimic sneered, "You will never be able to defeat yourself! For that is your own strength! This is the other you inside the mirror! And just like you’re attacking your reflection in the mirror, your shadow inside the mirror will always reach you at the same time! And I will just wait on the side for you to reveal a flaw! You are already inside my domain!"

With that, the Mimic even stopped mimicking Long Yi and reverted to his original form.

He used the Mirror Image spell to match the opponent evenly, while his true form looked for an opportunity to attack. No wonder the Mimic always seemed to be just a bit stronger than his enemies; it was this bit that inevitably came from his own true strength.

Almost at the same time, a mirror image of Lingling also appeared.

By now, Long Yi had also completely understood.

At the beginning, the Mimic had not used the true Mirror Image spell, but was truly mimicking with his own ability. When Long Yi began his attack, the Mimic would immediately activate the Mirror Image spell. In fact, all this time, the enemy that Long Yi had been attacking was himself.

The Mimic merged back with Long Yi’s image, and Lingling immediately started firing at Long Yi’s mirror image. Simultaneously, the mirror image of Lingling also fired back at Long Yi. Neither Long Yi dodged, and both were hit by the shot in the chest at the same time. Long Yi’s chest cloth burst, and he threw the shredded clothing aside.

"It seems quite impressive, but I still want to give it a try," Long Yi raised his hand, and Lingling transformed into a Crystal Greatsword.

Almost at the same time, the two Long Yis clashed head-on, the Crystal Greatswords colliding continuously, the speed increasing, the power growing. Bright lights burst from the blade with Fighting Aura, the flying sword energy slicing countless marks on the surrounding ground, and even colliding with the shields around the area, causing the shields to flash crazily!

It was only at this point that the audience erupted into true cheers.

Yes, this was the kind of match they wanted to see!

In a short time, Long Yi had switched through numerous tactics and combat styles, from greatsword to bare hands, from Fighting Aura to Magic, even summoning Rock Armor to brawl with the Rock Armor-wearing image across from him, but the result was still obvious.

Evenly matched.

At this point, the Mimic hiding within the image was also secretly alarmed; he had used his Mimicking talent to defeat many opponents. However, a opponent like Long Yi was something he had never encountered before. Long Yi was simply too strong; if it were based solely on his own strength, he probably wouldn’t have lasted a minute! Fortunately, he had activated the Mirror Image at the beginning, letting Long Yi fight his own shadow. Sadly, Long Yi’s fierce attacks left no opportunity for the Mimic to strike. But that was fine, patience! He had plenty of patience!

```

However, just at that moment, Long Yi sped up again!

This time, Long Yi activated the power of the Giant’s ring, lifting his strength and speed to a new level! Then, once again, he donned the Rock Armor, first retreating at full speed, then charging forward at full speed!

Boom!

It was like two mountains colliding, causing the entire Arena to shudder. At that point, the Crystal Stone Armor of both Long Yis were shattered by half! However, with the replenishment from the power of the Rock, the Crystal Stone Armor rapidly recovered!

Then, Long Yi retreated again! And then charged again!

Boom!

This time it was even more ferocious than the last! The Crystal Stone Armor of both Long Yis completely shattered together!

These two collisions were so sudden, so unexpected that the Mimic was utterly unprepared. Although he was hidden within Long Yi’s Mirror Image, it wasn’t invincible here. Although all sorts of damage were to be borne by Long Yi’s Mirror Image, some basic rules still had to be followed.

For example.

Inertia.

The two sudden collisions nearly knocked the Mimic out, especially the first one, when his nose smashed heavily against the mask, causing blood to flow out instantly. The second collision felt as though his ribs were also broken.

However, Long Yi couldn’t stop! And when the third collision was about to happen,

The Mimic, his mask filled with blood, actually jumped out from Long Yi’s Mirror Image! And almost at the same time, Long Yi suddenly reached out and grabbed fiercely! Although Long Yi grabbed nothing in his own hand, his Mirror Image on the opposite side caught the Mimic’s ankle!

"Not bad at all, worthy of being my Mirror Image; the response is really fast."

Long Yi grinned slightly, yanked hard, and with a crack, the Mimic’s ankle was straightaway crushed by Long Yi’s Mirror Image!

Instantly, the Mimic screamed.

Clearly, the Mirror Image could indeed harm the Mimic.

Long Yi lifted his leg, ready to control the Mirror Image to stomp on the Mimic, but the Mimic quickly waved his hand, and Long Yi’s Mirror Image immediately vanished.

At that moment, with the surge of the Rock’s power, the Mimic’s injuries began to heal rapidly. In mere seconds, he was already standing up, his body again covered with Crystal Stone Armor.

"I have already mimicked all your powers! Now, my strength has already surpassed yours!" the Mimic shouted loudly.

"Are you sleep talking in your dreams?" asked Long Yi with a smile.

Boom!

This time, the fists collided. Long Yi, sheathed in Crystal Stone Armor, threw a punch of tremendous heft that sent the Mimic flying against the wall!

"Why! How could this happen!"

The Mimic couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked at his own arm where the Crystal Stone Armor had been shattered by Long Yi’s punch!

The Rock’s power circulated, and the shattered Crystal Stone Armor restored once again.

"Strange, isn’t it? Don’t you understand such a simple principle? A child and an adult may both learn to punch, their punching style might be the same, and their speed exactly alike, but how could the punch of a child have the destructive power of an adult? I am that adult! And you are that child! You are just a Mimic! Though named ’the stronger Mimic,’ sadly, the stronger part is just my Mirror Image! And you are nothing but an ordinary weakling!"
