When Lu Yao and the four of them returned to their residence, Lu Yao locked himself in the room alone, recalling the situation when he was finally defeated by Shui Liuyun's move.

Lu Jingtian once said when he taught Lu Yao this set of exercises, one of the characteristics of the transformation of the shadow is that a person can differentiate into eight doppelgangers at the same time, and the addition of these eight doppelgangers and the body corresponds to the upper nine, in ancient times, nine represents the limit, which also shows that the limit of the transformation of the shadow is that the body plus the doppelganger has a total of nine themselves.

To what extent Lu Jingtian can do, Lu Yao has never seen it, he himself is now playing to the best to be able to achieve the body plus the doppelganger to transform seven, only two short of the limit, and the water tassel can reach the limit that Lu Jingtian said, the body plus the doppelganger, one is not much, one is not much, there are just nine.

But today, Shui Liuyun obviously only conjured up a clone, in other words, he only achieved the number of two fingers of the body plus the clone, but even so, Lu Yao was defeated.

However, at this time, Lu Yao had a careful aftertaste, and the key point was not why Shui Liuyun could only conjure two clones, but that the clone he conjured up was completely different from his own.

Transfiguration is a set of exercises, to be more accurate, it is a body type of exercises, the most important thing is speed, when a person's speed reaches a certain level, or the speed exceeds the limit that a person's eyes can catch up, there is a clone over there, the higher the strength, the faster the speed, the more clones.

But in any case, a doppelganger is a doppelganger after all, and to put it more accurately, it is an illusion, he has no attack power at all, just like an illusion.

However, today's shapeshifting shadow used by Shui Liuyun completely subverted his perception of this body method.

Yes, Shui Liuyun did only conjure up a clone.

However, his clone is not an illusion that cannot attack, but a clone that can actually inflict damage on opponents.

Regardless of whether others can see it clearly or not, Lu Yao can be 100% sure that he received two palms today, one palm is from the body of Shui Liuyun, and the other is the illusionary doppelganger.

The palm of the main body was blocked by his Heavenly Sword, although the palm power was very strong, so that he received a lot of impact, but what really made him lose his ability to resist was the palm from the clone.

That palm was firmly imprinted on his back.

It was also that palm that crushed the immortal power that had been condensed in his body and was ready to fight back, making him uncontrollably spew out a mouthful of reverse blood.

Why is this happening?

Is this the true meaning of disfigurement?

It shouldn't be.

This set of exercises was obviously created by Lu Jingtian and Shui Tassel, how could it be possible that the true meaning of the water was flowing clouds?

Could it be that what Shui Liuyun is doing today is not a shapeshifting shadow at all, but another set of exercises that have a lot of similarities with the shapeshifting shadow?

One thought after another jumped out of Lu Yao's heart uncontrollably, but one by one was rejected by Lu Yao.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't figure it out.

Lu Yao felt that his simple speculation seemed useless, so he simply got up and tried all kinds of possibilities.

Tried and failed, and failed.

That's not right, that's not right, what is the reason?

Lu Yao tried again and again, recalling the situation over and over again, I don't know how long it took, and finally he was caught with a trace of inspiration.

What kind of realm is the strength of Shui Liuyun, Lu Yao doesn't know, with his strength, he can't force the strongest Shui Liuyun at all, but there is one thing he can gradually determine.

When Shui Liuyun fought with himself today, the realm was stuck in the out-of-body realm.

Thinking of this, Lu Yao was taken aback by this bold guess of his own.

Lu Yao didn't dare to speculate anymore, and hurriedly went to find Lijiang.

"Master, can you see what realm Shui Liuyun's strength is?" Lu Yao came to Lijiang's room, got straight to the point, and asked directly.

Lijiang seems to have considered this question, and he didn't have to waste time thinking about it at all, and gave the answer directly.

"The most unfortunate thing is also the distraction realm, as for whether it is the early, middle or peak of the distraction realm, I am not completely sure, but the distraction realm is certain." Lijiang replied affirmatively.

"That's right!" When Lu Yao heard this, he nodded and said, "Master, have you noticed that Shui Liuyun is deliberately suppressing his strength in the out-of-body realm today, obviously, he should have gained insight into my strength." ”

"Well, I just thought of that." Lijiang said lightly.

Lijiang and Lu Yao's opinions coincided, but Lu Yao couldn't be happy, looking at Lijiang, it seemed that he was talking to himself, and he seemed to be asking Lijiang, and said: "But why did he do this?" ”

"Is it to break my martial arts heart?" Lu Yao said a very bold idea, but he denied it himself without waiting for Lijiang to give an answer.

If Shui Liuyun was just trying to defeat his martial arts heart, then he almost did it when he fought for the first time, or he had already done it.

If it weren't for the conversation between himself and Lu Yiqian that magically appeared in Lu Yao's mind, and made him wake up suddenly, his martial arts heart might have really collapsed.

If Shui Liuyun's purpose is really like that, then he should not give himself any respite, not give himself time to figure it out, and make another move head-on, at that time, he will not only have the heart of martial arts collapsed, but I am afraid that his life will not be saved.

However, Shui Liuyun did not do this, but gave himself a second chance.

The second time, he still lost, but Shui Liuyun showed mercy again, not only did he not kill himself, but also let himself leave.

Why is all this going on?

One was puzzled, and the more Lu Yao thought about it, the more confused he became.

"Lu Yao, do you feel that there is an essential difference between Shui Liuyun's move of transforming into a shadow today and what you are cultivating?" Lijiang suddenly asked.

Lu Yao looked up at Lijiang, and after a long time, he said, "Please also ask the master for guidance." ”

"I've witnessed you go from being nondescript at the beginning of your cultivation of shapeshifting to the point where you are now, I can see that you are working hard to increase your speed to the limit, although you can now achieve seven clones in one person, but you should also understand that clones are clones after all, and they don't have the slightest attack power at all, in other words, your shapeshifting avatar is only used to surprise them, or is it used to dodge the opponent's attacks?" Lijiang asked.

"Yes, I've always thought so." Lu Yao nodded and admitted.

"Then have you noticed any difference between the shapeshifting shadow caused by the water flow cloud today and yours?" Lijiang asked. Lu Yao felt that Lijiang should have seen the clues, and he didn't hide it, so he told the truth, and said: "Indeed, today I was hit by a palm by the clone that Shui Liuyun conjured up, and it was that palm that made me lose the ability to resist. ”

"Very well, it seems that you have gained something by locking yourself in the house." Lijiang smiled with relief, then changed his words and said, "But have you ever figured out how Shui Liuyun did it?"

This time, Lu Yao could only shake his head, because he really didn't figure it out.

A lot of times, it's not that you find a problem and you can find a solution to it, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many unsolved mysteries in the world.

"Okay, let me tell you how I feel!" Lijiang continued: "In my judgment, Shui Liuyun did not conjure up a clone at all, but exerted the true meaning of the out-of-body realm. ”

"What!" Lu Yao was shocked, exclaimed, and then looked at Lijiang in disbelief and said slowly: "Master, do you mean that Shui Liuyun is out of the body today, but in fact, there are two real existences?" ”

"There's not enough evidence for it, but I think that's the case nine times out of ten." Lijiang nodded and said.

"This ......" Lu Yao didn't know what to say for a while.

Lijiang slowly got up and said, "Lu Yao, look at my move." ”

The words fell, and Lijiang suddenly moved.

Lijiang had never practiced Lu Yao's shapeshifting shadow technique, but as soon as he made a move, Lu Yao immediately concluded that Lijiang's move was completely consistent with his own shapeshifting shadow.

It's just that this consistency is just a change in his body, in fact, he is just a clone.

"Master, what are you?" Lu Yao vaguely felt that the move of leaving the Xinjiang was more like the move of Shui Liuyun, but he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Yes, after I came back, I also carefully recalled the shapeshifting shadow of Shui Liuyun, and realized that this is a little bit, but my current realm is not as good as Shui Liuyun, and I can't reach his level, my clone can really attack people, but it doesn't have his power." Lijiang explained to Lu Yao and shot again, this time, the clone he conjured up gently patted Lu Yao on the shoulder.

Although there was no strength, the real touch still shocked Lu Yao.

"Master, how did you do this?" Lu Yao asked excitedly.

“……”

Lijiang told Lu Yao about his discoveries and experiences.

Once, twice, three times......

Lu Yao tried again and again as Lijiang said, although he tried more than ten times in a row and did not succeed once, but he was 100% sure that Lijiang's discovery definitely touched the truth.

Although Lu Yao couldn't do it for the time being, he felt that the direction he was working in was not wrong.

With this discovery, Lu Yao gave up his stubborn thoughts, and the next day he did not go to the Shade World Manor to challenge Shui Liuyun, but changed to a more remote place to live, and began to practice this trick with Lijiang.

Time passed day by day, and finally, half a month later, Lu Yao could also achieve the level of Shui Liuyun's out-of-body infant turning into a clone.

Although he can't hurt anyone, he believes that as long as he continues to work hard, he will definitely be able to reach the level of water and clouds as he ascends to the realm.
