"What, what, what is this!"
Ling Yuan's voice trembled. Whether it was from appearance, expression, or even mentally scanning the wood clone, she found no difference from Wang Zhong.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have completely believed the wood clone before her was a living person.
But Wang Zhong frowned, looking at the wood clone before him. It was too similar. One or two wood clones were fine; after all, twins and triplets weren't uncommon. But if there were too many, creating a squad of people who looked identical, others wouldn't be fooled.
"Second Soul Skill, Thousand Transformations, Mimicry! Modify!"
The second soul skill activated. The wood clone before them began to change its appearance. Its height increased, its build broadened, its clothes also changed. Its face became thinner, its eyes slightly upturned, and the entire person exuded a somewhat sinister aura.
Ling Yuan saw this change and glanced at Gui Mei sitting beside them. Their appearances were extremely similar.
"Alright, mission accomplished!"
Wang Zhong clapped his hands, very satisfied with his creation. Since the wood clone was a soul skill of his martial soul, the second soul skill, Thousand Transformations, could be applied to the wood clone itself.
"Hello there! My wood clone, from today onwards, you shall be called Mu Zhan!"
Wang Zhong grinned and extended his right hand to the wood clone.
However, the wood clone glanced at Wang Zhong's right hand. Its sinister face remained expressionless. It directly walked to the nearby sofa, sat down, crossed its legs, and said coldly, "Alright, stop playing around. Hurry up and make the others!"
"You don't have much time!"
Gui Mei and Ling Yuan looked at the scene before them, their expressions of strangeness utterly unconcealed.
"Gui Mei, does this little fellow's third soul skill have independent consciousness and intelligence?"
Ling Yuan repeatedly scanned Wang Zhong and the wood clone, asking in confusion.
But before Gui Mei could answer, the wood clone sitting on the sofa spoke.
"Elder Ling Yuan, you are mistaken. I do not have independent consciousness or intelligence. All these actions, expressions, and tones are merely an illusion performed under the command of the main body."
Gui Mei noticed the difference at this moment. As the wood clone was speaking, Wang Zhong had already begun to generate a second wood clone. His movements were neither paused nor unnatural.
Both actions proceeded simultaneously, without interference, and independently!
"One mind, two tasks!"
"No, this is a more brilliant technique than multitasking!"
"To simulate a soul skill to this extent is definitely not something as simple as multitasking can achieve. Just one movement, one glance, one sound requires an immeasurable amount of mental focus!"
Gui Mei's hoarse voice was filled with surprise and admiration.
"Lord Gui Douluo is correct. This method of control is indeed very different from the method of divided control, but the principle is the same. It's just that what the main body can control far exceeds the so-called limit of the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart."
The second wood clone was muscular and robust, with a full face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes. Its entire appearance exuded a very unrestrained aura.
As it spoke, it walked to Mu Zhan's side, sat down next to him, crossed its arms, and looked at Gui Mei with a steady gaze.
"Hey, what's your name!" Mu Zhan asked the big fellow beside him coldly.
"Mu Yue!" the big fellow replied and ignored him further.
In response, Mu Zhan clearly clicked his tongue.
"I don't like your attitude when you speak!"
"Don't forget, I am the first wood clone, possessing one hundred percent of the main body's strength, while your strength is not that much!"
Mu Yue glanced at Mu Zhan and said in his usual steady voice, "If you want to be the team leader, so be it! I don't want to fight you for it!"
"But this isn't out of fear of you. Although I don't have all of the main body's strength, I have at least ninety percent! If we were to fight, who would win and who would lose is uncertain."
"Mu Zhan, you possess all of Wang Zhong's main body's strength!" Gui Mei's hoarse voice trembled with extreme obviousness. Such a soul skill was completely beyond his imagination!
Mu Zhan nodded and replied, "That's right, I have all the main body's strength. Both power and soul skills, I can use them, and their might is exactly the same."
"But this is not unique to you, Mu Zhan. We can also achieve it, but the main body specifically added this restriction when creating us! If Wang Zhong wishes, we can all wield the same power as him!"
The third wood clone, slender and with a cold and arrogant aura, walked to the window and stood there, watching the ongoing battle on the arena, explaining Mu Zhan's so-called one hundred percent strength.
Subsequently, the fourth, fifth, and sixth wood clones were successively created by Wang Zhong.
The names of the six people, besides Mu Zhan, were formed by taking a character from people he was familiar with and combining it with the character "Mu."
They were Mu Zhan, Mu Yue, Mu Ren, Mu Yan, Mu Yuan, Mu Shuai. Together with Wang Zhong's own wooden figure, a seven-person team was thus formed.
The soul ring configurations of the six were yellow, yellow, purple; yellow, yellow, purple; white, yellow, purple; white, yellow, purple; white, yellow, purple; white, yellow, yellow. In short, Wang Zhong did his best to make their soul ring configurations appear chaotic.
At the same time, Wang Zhong generated a wooden mask with no expression, only two eyes, and placed it over his face.
He turned to Gui Mei and asked, "Lord Gui Douluo, what do you think of this disguise?"
Looking at the seven completely different individuals before him, Gui Mei's mouth twitched. With such a disguise, even he, a Titled Douluo, found it difficult to distinguish them, let alone others.
"This disguise is excellent!" Gui Mei finally gave an answer, suppressing his true feelings layer by layer, fearing that Wang Zhong might become arrogant at this moment.
Ling Yuan tapped her forehead with her slender fingertips and shook her slightly dazed head, saying to Wang Zhong, "Your third soul skill is truly terrifyingly powerful."
"Now, have you decided on a name for this team?"
Wang Zhong looked at the wood clones around him, each with their own demeanor and actions, and showed a big smile. He said, "Of course, I've thought of it. It's called the Mu Ren Combination, or perhaps the Mu Ren Team!"
The six wood clones looked at each other, and finally nodded simultaneously, as if seven people had truly consulted each other and reached an agreement.
But Gui Mei and Ling Yuan, who knew that all of this was controlled by Wang Zhong alone, could only think of two words in their hearts.
Monster!
Whether it was the power of the third soul skill, its peculiarity, or its lifelike, human-like manifestation, they couldn't find any other words to describe Wang Zhong at this moment.
"Good, the team is formed. Next, I will tell you the goals you need to achieve within the next six months!"
After saying this, Gui Mei's expression became serious.
This goal was not set by him but was Bibi Dong's requirement.
