Chapter 212 One-on-One Gang Fight
Woohoo...
After his new skill was shattered by Cangnian's claw, Tiger Brother howled in pain and hid behind his mother, whimpering pitifully.
The tiger mother touched her brother's bruised buttocks with her paw, and was relieved to find that the bones were not broken.
Before the revival of spiritual energy, even a minor injury in the wild could be a life-threatening crisis.
Tigers are solitary animals, so an injury means they are in poor condition, and poor condition means their hunting ability is reduced.
If they can't hunt for food, they will starve to death in no time.
But now, with the revival of spiritual energy, not to mention that the fisherman's laws can heal, the self-healing ability of evolved creatures is incomparable to that of ordinary creatures in the past.
Even without a cure, as long as there is no fracture, skin injuries will heal completely on their own in ten to fifteen days.
However, when Tiger Mom pressed on the injury, it made Tiger Brother wince in pain.
Seeing the warm gaze that Cang Nian cast his way, Tiger Brother quickly hid himself behind Tiger Mother.
Even though Tiger Mom has evolved to the third stage, she is only about the same size as Cangnian, much smaller than Tiger Brother, making it impossible for Tiger Brother to hide.
"Now Tiger should realize his position as the younger brother in the family..."
Cang Nian nodded slightly.
"Ow~!"
Then, he roared at the tiger mom and asked her what new skill she had awakened.
Upon hearing Cangnian's question, the mother tiger, who was still licking her younger brother's fur and comforting him, turned her head with a face full of joy.
Tiger Mom meditated for a moment, and a phantom exactly like Cang Nian appeared and solidified instantly.
Then, Tiger Mom continued to activate her powers, and one after another, ancient phantoms appeared, until finally nine phantoms appeared before him and quickly solidified.
These phantoms appear identical to each other to the naked eye, as if they were carved from the same mold.
"Could it be that Tiger Mom's new skill is that these phantoms can all have physical forms and fight alongside her?"
Seeing this, Cang Nian was somewhat incredulous.
Ouch~!
Then, Tiger Mom roared at the rather shocked Cang Nian, ordering him to attack any of Cang Nian's phantoms.
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian did not hesitate and, as Tiger Mom had instructed, pounced on any of his own illusory figures, slamming down with his claws!
Pa~!
The phantom moved exactly like Cangnian, its claws colliding heavily with Cangnian's in mid-air!
Because he didn't use any skills, Cang Nian fought his own phantom to a standstill. His claws went slightly numb, and he took two steps back.
The illusory figure did the same, taking two steps back and returning to the middle of the other eight figures.
Then, Cang Nian's heart stirred, and he quickly attacked another of his own phantom images!
Pa~!
However, another phantom also collided with Cang Nian, and both bounced away after a light touch.
"Do they all really have physical forms? Wouldn't that mean there could be nine versions of me fighting against myself?"
Even if Tiger Mom doesn't know much about my superpowers, even in my normal state, if I fight nine against one, I definitely won't get the upper hand without using some powerful methods.
No... If they really do have physical forms, then summoning nine black king snakes would make me much stronger than I am in my normal state.
If this can be maintained, the strain on Tiger Mom will be unimaginable.
Even with just nine physical forms, I've already expended a considerable amount of energy. Tiger Mom shouldn't be so composed right now, should she?
This result greatly surprised Cang Nian.
But upon further reflection, he became somewhat suspicious.
With that in mind, he quietly moved 70% of his stamina attribute to the speed column.
His speed instantly soared to a terrifying 905, directly surpassing the speed of sound!
Then, he first rushed towards one of his own illusory figures at random. Seeing that the other was raising its hand and he was very close to it, he instantly made a ninety-degree turn and attacked another illusory figure!
Huh~!
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, but Cangnian's claw went straight through the second phantom, as if it had only brushed past a projection.
He smoothly returned the attributes he had just moved to their original positions, and in an instant, he moved 70% of his power to the defense column. Only then did Cang Nian's claw pass through the afterimage and land on the ground, causing the tunnel to tremble.
"That makes sense now... Tiger Mom's new skill isn't about summoning nine physical, combat-ready phantoms."
Instead, it summons nine intangible phantoms, but can control which one of them has a physical form at will.
In this way, as long as only one phantom attacks the target at the same time, and the switching speed is fast enough, the target will have the illusion of being attacked by nine phantoms at the same time.
Previously, even though I hadn't increased my speed, Tiger Mom was able to react, which made me feel like both of the phantoms had a physical form, indicating that she switched very quickly.
In a fraction of a second, it determined which phantom I would attack and switched targets accordingly…
After this probing, Cangnian nodded in sudden realization.
It seems that once you understand the principle, it's easy to solve, but that's not actually the case.
Without Cangnian's astonishing speed, he would be surrounded and attacked by the nine phantoms without even realizing it.
Even if the principle is known, a feint can prevent Tiger Mom from switching to her physical form to fight the enemy without causing any loss to her.
The phantom is just a projection of light and shadow; being attacked won't cause Tiger Mom to suffer any backlash.
Moreover, the key to this tactic is not to create the illusion of multiple phantoms attacking simultaneously.
The key is that Tiger Mom has nine afterimages, which she arranges in advance and can switch the source of her attacks at any time, making it impossible for the opponent to defend against.
This is a one-on-one sneak attack!
Moreover, the Tiger Mom's phantom is not only a deception of light and shadow effects, but it can also simulate smell, body temperature and aura. Cang Nian estimates that he would have to use his second-level overlimit burst to enhance his mental attributes in order to see through it.
For other evolved organisms, it would be even more impossible.
In addition, the Tiger Mom's tactic does not consume much more spiritual energy than controlling a physical phantom to fight the enemy, making it quite significant in actual combat!
Ow...
Cang Nian was quite satisfied with Tiger Mom's new skill, but Tiger Mom was somewhat frustrated.
I originally wanted to show off in front of my little one, but he saw through my trick so quickly.
However, the thought of raising her cubs to be so smart and capable filled the Tiger Mom with a sense of pride.
I gave birth to my baby, and I raised him/her. So if my baby is great, then I am great too!
No problem!
Before Cangnian could even step forward to comfort her, Tiger Mom had already shaken off her slight frustration and was thinking optimistically.
Seeing Cangnian, who had come up to her and was now as tall as her and much more robust, Tiger Mom couldn't help but nuzzle Cangnian's cheek.
It's great that you've grown up so fast!
