My Special Ability Is Perfect Replication

Chapter 20 - Sands of Annihilation, the Treasure of Heaven and Earth

”Martial arts manuals?”

Ling Jiuʼs eyes lit up.

”Just like the Gene Arcana secret technique, the Arcana manuals are divided into basic, intermediate, advanced, and ultimate Arcana manuals!” the little ant said.

”Different classes of Arcana manuals bear different costs. However, they are still much cheaper than the Gene Arcana secret techniques of the same class. The basic Arcana manuals start from one million, intermediate Arcana manuals start from ten million, advanced manuals start from a hundred million, and the ultimate manuals, a billion!

”Of course, different Arcanas have different manuals and fall into different categories: metal, wood, fire, water, and earth!”

”They are much cheaper compared to the Gene Arcana secret techniques!” Ling Jiu sighed. ”May I take a look at the Earth-element Arcana manuals?”

A table popped up on the screen, listing various basic Earth-element Arcana manuals, complete with their titles and brief introductions.

”Letʼs take a look at the first one, The Spiral Stone Spear!”

The Spiral Stone Spear: Basic Earth-element Arcana manual. Thanks to its rapid rotation, The Spiral Stone Spear has higher penetration ability and speed. It is also two times more lethal than ordinary stone spears!

”The Spiral Stone Spear is two times more lethal than an ordinary stone spear. Not too bad!”

Ling Jiu scrolled down the list. Other than The Spiral Stone Spear, there was The Rapid Mudshot, The Earthen Brambles, and The Colossal Stone Hammer.

Hold on a second!

There were over 10,000 types.

These basic Earth-element Arcana manuals had limitations; their power was two times the strength of ordinary Arcana at most.

Following that, Ling Jiu clicked on the intermediate Earth-element Arcana manuals.

Brutal Stalagmite.

”Intermediate Arcana manual... Four times the lethality of an ordinary Arcana, but bad!”

Ling Jiu continued to scroll and found that the advanced Arcana manuals had skills that were eight times the strength of ordinary Arcana.

Meanwhile, the ultimate Arcana manuals contained skills that were twenty times the strength of ordinary Arcana, but their prices were also appropriately higher—one hundred million and one billion, respectively.

”I can only afford the basic Arcana manuals. The advanced and ultimate Arcana manuals are way beyond my budget!

”Itʼs all about money!”

Ling Jiu let out a sigh of disappointment. He initially thought that after he became an Arcanist and lived in a bungalow with millions in annual pay, he could join the rich menʼs club. Only now did he realize that he was still no better than he was last time because he could only afford the most basic Arcana manuals.

”Letʼs see the weaponry!”

Weaponry is categorized into cold and hot weapons. Cold weapons comprise the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth series, while hot weapons are of modern technology.

Earth-element cold weapons were divided into four classes: basic, intermediate, advanced, and ultimate.

”I didnʼt know that earth and rock were of different classes!”

Ling Jiu clicked on the ultimate Earth-element cold weapons, which only displayed one type: The Sands of Annihilation.

The Sands of Annihilation: a type of magical quicksand. It is not only incredibly heavy but also unbelievably tough. It is fireproof with a high melting point and can withstand extreme cold. It is so far the toughest and densest sand element on Earth.

Price: 10 billion/cubic meter.

”Ten billion for one cubic meter? Holy moly!”

Ling Jiu gasped in shock. A cubic meter of gold weighed 19.32 tons. A ton of gold was worth 270 million, which meant that 19.32 tons of gold were worth 5.2 billion.

While a cubic meter of gold was worth 5.2 billion, a cubic meter of the Sands of Annihilation was 10 billion. Who could afford something more expensive than gold?

That being said, this Sands of Annihilation must be terrifyingly powerful! Ling Jiu thought to himself.

Would attacking your enemy with ordinary sand be the same as using the incredibly heavy Sands of Annihilation? The answer was a definite no.

”If I can get my hands on a few cubic meters of Sands of Annihilation, my combat strength will surely increase by several notches!”

”Stone shots, stone spears, stone hammers, stone guns, earthen spikes, and swamps formed by the Sands of Annihilation are so much more powerful than those formed by ordinary earth and rocks!”

Ling Jiu was almost drooling. ”Itʼs a shame that this item is too expensive. Thereʼs no way I can afford it!”
