why rely on a clone to build a harem? I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself.

"Alright," Chen Yang sighed, a hint of a smile playing on his own lips. "Eating both fruits… that was definitely a rookie move. But hey, at least you didn't let those beasts turn you into lunch."

The clone puffed out its chest, its posture mirroring Chen Yang's for a brief moment before it straightened with forced composure. "As a creation of the great Master Chen,"

it declared in a voice that still held a hint of youthful bravado, "how could I disgrace you by falling prey to such lowly beasts? Tier 1 and 2? "

"Pah!...

"If I had countered any on my arrival, I would've made lunch out of them myself."

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow, a playful glint in his eyes. "Alright, alright, there's no need to peacock around, champ. Rest up, you must be tired after your little scuffle."

The clone scoffed. "Tired? If you say , Master, I'll head straight to Qinfeng City right now and have a hundred rounds with the Wu clan head and his entire crew!"
