My SSS-Rank Clone Talent: I Level Up Endlessly!
Chapter 147: Adapt!

Eryke stood up from the ground and tightened his fist, feeling the power surging through his body.

As a Second-stage Martial Artist, his body had been strengthened by his fortified Will.

Physically, he might appear the same.

However, his demeanor had changed entirely, it now carried a steadfastness.

He stepped out from beneath the waterfall, the splashes echoing through the space.

The ripples on the river were calming and soothing.

Eryke calmly reached the ground and looked around.

Behind him, a giant sword appeared, surrounded by a swirling arc of golden light.

"It's ironic that I've reached the Second-stage Martial Realm before Chun Ma," Eryke muttered with a bitter smile.

Honestly, it was amusing to him.

Chun Ma was the one who had given him the Will in the first place, yet he himself hadn't reached that stage yet.

However, this was because of the Heavenly Cultivation Technique, Chun Ma had taken the more traditional path and didn't rely on Titles, while Eryke had technically reached the Second-stage Martial Realm without even having a Dantian.

But when Chun Ma finally reached the Second-stage Martial Realm, he would probably be the strongest among them all.

For now, Eryke focused on the trouble at hand.

This trouble was Drayken's, facing a Telekinetic Master wasn't something to be taken lightly.

He needed to find a solution deep within his heart.

"The Telekinetic Serum, huh."

Eryke looked ahead and summoned two clones of his.

"Eryke the Fifth and Eryke the Sixth!"

These two clones had once died because of the dragon's attack, but now their countdowns had ended, and their talents had returned along with them.

"I initially thought that once a clone dies, its talents would reset—but it seems that's not the case."

Eryke the Fifth still possessed Adapt as an inherent skill!

Eryke the Sixth still had Heart of Righteousness as an inherent skill!

"However, they don't have their mana cores yet."

Eryke paused thoughtfully. He still didn't plan to return to Earth until he had further sharpened his sword.

Looking at Eryke the Fifth, he hesitated for only a moment before the clone sat cross-legged and began to reestablish his mana core.

Although this world didn't have mana in the usual sense, Eryke possessed plenty for himself and could share his own mana with others. Even if he ran out, there was still Drayken, who had an abundant supply.

It was safe to say that Eryke would never truly lose mana.

Eryke watched as Eryke the Fifth worked on rebuilding his mana core, but he was immediately disappointed when he noticed almost no system prompt appearing before his eyes.

"So it won't work twice," he muttered.

With a sigh of regret, Eryke thought, 'If every time a clone died I could gain a Title, then I'd have an infinite stream of Title evolutions and I'd truly become one with the mana.'

Shaking off his unnecessary thoughts, Eryke turned his attention to Eryke the Sixth. With the Heart of Righteousness skill, perfect for the Orthodox faction, the clone immediately began to scout the area.

"If I can infiltrate the Orthodox faction, that would be ideal."

Eryke then glanced back at Eryke the Fifth.

Honestly, the skill Adapt intrigued him more than anything else.

…

<Adapt> (Level 1)

Allows the user to physically adapt.

…

Eryke felt a faint instinct that leveling this skill up could truly help Drayken survive in the Dragon and Telekinetic realms.

[Do you want to level up <Adapt> to Level 2?]

[Cost: 50,000 Destiny Points]

"Hmm, this is bad," he muttered.

Eryke didn't have many Destiny Points left, and he didn't want to spend them all on this skill. But, he had little choice.

Gritting his teeth, he reluctantly accepted the cost and leveled up the clone's skill.

…

<Adapt> (Level 2)

Allows the user to adapt in both mind and body.

…

Eryke considered leveling the skill again, but when he saw the terrifying price tag, he almost felt like vomiting blood.

[Do you want to level up <Adapt> to Level 3?]

[Cost: 250,000 Destiny Points]

"A quarter of a million? Is this some kind of scam?" Eryke muttered in frustration.

Still, he upgraded the skill regardless.

…

<Adapt> (Level 3)

Allows the user to adapt in mind, body, and spirituality.

…

Eryke stared at the prompt, stunned for a moment.

"Spirituality? Like the soul or something?"

Shaking his head to clear the thought, he sent the clone straight into the Dragon and Telekinetic World to retrieve the Serum in Drayken's possession.

Unfortunately, he couldn't control where the clone would teleport, it could appear anywhere, so the clone would need to find Drayken first.

"This is the only option I have."

With that settled, Eryke returned to the waterfall to continue sharpening his Sword Will.

There were still numerous benefits to training like this. As a lazy man from the modern world, his mind had long been scattered, clouded by countless distractions and ADHD.

But with each moment spent constructing his Sword Will, those impure thoughts were being stripped away.

It was as if he was being reborn, his mind gradually purified.

The temperament of an expert emerged, a man of unwavering commitment and clear purpose.

Eryke was forging his mentality for the future.

He was no longer the loser he once was, the broken version of himself who had been crushed by a mere injury and failed to qualify for the Olympics.

He could still live a normal life, but now he had shut himself away in his room, becoming an otaku and gamer.

It was, in many ways, one of the best times of his life, he couldn't deny that. But at the same time, it was his escape from reality.

The pain of losing countless hours of training to become an Olympic winner, the dream of winning gold, only to have it all ripped away, haunted him relentlessly.

Now, he wanted to erase all the weaknesses within himself.

This was the perfect opportunity to shed that mentality once and for all.
