Chapter 185: Idea of Clones

Tyler entered a small tent with Kirito and Clark. By the time they got here, it was already night.

So, after a proper meal of whatever they could find, Tyler invited Clark to discuss.

Seeing Clark standing in front of him nervously, Tyler helplessly smiled and said.

"Sit down!"

Tyler and Kirito were sitting on a large mattress since there was no table or chair or even a bed inside.

Clark took off his shoes and sat down.

"Tomorrow, I will collect the Spirit Veins and leave this country."

Hearing that, Clark opened his mouth, but the words didn’t come out.

He couldn’t ask Tyler to stay, especially since Tyler only came here for cultivation.

"The following days will be tough for you. With so much destruction and so many deaths, you are bound to face tougher situations."

Tyler shook his head and said.

"Even if I want to, I can’t help you with this situation. But with only one Spirit Vein in your country, other powerful countries will not attack you."

"Besides, my influence will also be here. Even if they don’t find my presence, you can still use my name to protect this country."

Hearing that, Clark smiled and lowered his head.

"Thank you so much!"

"Although I can’t support you directly, I will ask Daisy to expand the Daily News Company in your country alongside the weapon industries."

"This will give jobs to many people while also providing you with tax money to develop your country."

Tyler spoke, feeling amused by his gratitude. Before Clark could thank him again, Tyler waved his hand and said.

"I will also benefit from this. Putting aside those small countries, the weakest countries on our continent are the Seven Countries."

"With three countries merging, there will only be five countries left. Putting aside three countries with high-level cultivators that exist far south, there are only five mid-level countries."

"If I want to do business with those countries, I will need proper support. So, you need to reach Law Creation Realm."

"If I am not wrong, your technique is A-Grade, right?"

Tyler asked.

Clark nodded.

"Yes, my technique is called Spring Wind Technique. But I have a daughter."

"She awakened an S-Grade Technique known as Purple Lightning Technique. She has more potential than me. Should I introduce her to you?"

Clark didn’t shy away from the idea of marrying his daughter to Tyler. After all, Tyler was the most talented person he knew.

After finding out about Tyler, he understood just how crazy his talent had to be to reach this level of strength in less than eight months.

If his daughter could marry Tyler, she would be set for life.

Hearing that, Tyler became a bit interested, but he shook his head.

"Nah! I will be busy with other things. If she has that kind of talent, focus on developing her strength."

Clark was a bit disappointed, but he had no choice but to accept.

Tyler knew his intentions, but he didn’t care. He already had eleven wives.

Although he joked about getting eighteen wives, it was just a joke.

Unless he fell in love with someone at first sight, he would not consider getting another woman.

Even then, he didn’t think he would fall in love with others.

He only fell in love with Daisy because he was lustful.

She was an absolute stunner and he was holding back a lot before.

Now, he had three women he could sleep with. So, why would he bother finding more?

Especially since he had already reserved eight more.

Instead of thinking about it, Tyler spoke about his identity.

"From now on, Shiro and Tyler Grant are two different people. No matter what, you must not forget this, understand?"

Clark and Kirito nodded at the same time.

Tyler, thinking they might not realize its importance, emphasized once again.

"No matter what Tyler Grant does, it’s nothing compared to something Shiro has done and vice versa."

"I am planning to keep their fighting style completely. So, you must not make a mistake about this."

"Yes, Sir!"

Clark loudly shouted while patting his chest.

Kirito rubbed his head and asked.

"But brother, can you change your technique? Isn’t it possible to recognize you through your technique?"

Tyler paused and shook his head.

"Unless they are Dimensional Gods or someone close in terms of strength, they will not be able to detect my mana and its attribute."

"So, if I use Yang Mana, it can’t be considered light energy. I can use Yang Mana to do something else instead."

"Or I could also use Yin Mana. The Void Mana is recognizable, but people will only believe it as a spatial mana."

Hearing that, Clark paused for a moment and asked.

"Sir, is there any need to be so careful about this?"

Tyler gave him a strange look. Considering Clark’s age, how could he not understand the necessity of this?

But then he remembered Clark’s background.

Clark didn’t come from an exceptional background, but it wasn’t completely bad.

When he awakened an A-Rank technique, nothing happened to his family, and he managed to reach the Grandmaster Realm.

Although he fought a lot of battles, he had never gone through the dark side of humanity.

"Listen up, Clark! You are a good person. I saved you, so you respect me a lot. But there are a lot of bad people out there."

"Especially among the cultivators. If one cultivator has a lot of talent, he will use a lot of resources."

"Then, the other cultivators will lose those resources. No cultivator wants something like that to happen."

"For most people, this happens without them knowing it, but some are exceptional people. They understand the importance of resources."

"So with their greedy nature, what will they do?"

Kirito answered.

"They will try to take everything for themselves."

Tyler nodded.

"Exactly! But they can’t just take all the resources. For example, they can’t take spiritual energy."

"But if they can’t take the spiritual energy, nobody is going to stop me from absorbing it and getting stronger."

"Once I get stronger, I can take other resources like special flame, weapon, pill, technique, or even ores."

"Now they have lost some things for real. So, what will they do?"

At this moment, Clark realized the answer.

"They will kill you before you can take their resources."

Tyler smiled and nodded.

"Exactly! If I join one faction, even if I get stronger, that faction will try to protect me because I will also protect that faction once I grow up."

"But if I don’t join any faction, what will happen? Everyone will try to kill me before I get stronger."

Hearing that, Kirito frowned.

"Does that mean you will hide your strength?"

Tyler shook his head.

"Of course not! What’s the point of getting stronger if you just hide your strength?"

"I will not hide my strength because that’s unnecessary. There are a lot of geniuses in the world."

"Have you heard a saying, ’Thousand ants can kill an elephant’?"

Kirito shook his head while Clark’s eyes lit up.

"So, that’s your plan. By hiding your true identity, you can distract the powerful people."

"Although you will not hide your strength, you will not be able to display your full power."

"This will be more than enough for your enemies to send a weaker opponent. Then, you can catch him off guard."

Hearing that, Kirito’s eyes widened.

"Is that your plan?"

Tyler nodded.

"You can say that."

His plan wasn’t exactly that. In fact, he was creating a different persona for another reason.

He wanted to find a way to create a clone for himself and do a little bit of experiment alone.

Tyler deeply understood that, despite being born in the cultivation world, his morality and desires were still part of his past.

So what he wanted to do was going to be stopped or at least rejected by the women inside the tower.

Although they couldn’t harm him, they could stop him from making what he wanted.

So creating the persona of Shiro and creating a clone would help him in the future.

Besides that, he wasn’t kidding about the troubles of other races.

In this battle, he displayed the strength of a Law Creation Realm cultivator. More importantly, he had also cleared his background.

Shiro came from a hidden family.

So, being able to fight with Law Creation Realm strength with just the peak Soul Sublimation Realm cultivation wasn’t impossible.

But if they knew he came from a small family in the Red Hogg Country.

This would send a message to everyone.

He possessed unimaginable talent.

Nobody wanted a powerful person above them, especially where strength was everything.

So, they would do everything to kill him.

But if he kept the identities of Shiro and Tyler Grant different, in the eyes of most people, he was a talented person who came from a humble background.

Not a person with monstrous talent.
