I lost my Copy System and awakened a Plundering System - Chapter 184

Chapter 184: Academy Contest: Third Round Begins (5)

“Well, this was a spectacular and domineering match,” Blue chuckled.

“It seems this young man wants to dominate this contest,” Green added. “The Luminari Academy sure is lucky.”

Draco’s win was both spectacular and domineering. In just a few strikes, he completely overwhelmed his opponents, not even allowing them to counterattack or retaliate. It was a shocking battle.

Graw and Wales watched in silence. Even though they were supposed to be happy that the Luminari Academy had won, they felt indignant and disheartened.

If they had battled together, this victory would have been shared among the three of them. But since they were utterly defeated, their opponents had become like their nemesis.

It was Draco alone who had crushed all three of them—one man against three. As fellow geniuses and competitors, they too felt the weight of their own defeat, losing all face.

Draco walked out of the arena, feeling no excitement from the battle. As expected, it had been far from enjoyable—the opponents were simply too weak.

If the members of the Ashwood Academy could hear his thoughts, they would have cursed him. Those three were among the top five in their academy, yet they had been completely dominated by Draco.

Draco returned to his seat where the girls were. Each participant who had passed the second round received a token for recognition, so there was no need to stand apart from those who had lost.

As soon as he sat down, Ivy rushed over, sitting on his lap and resting her head against his chest with a blissful expression.

The others looked at her helplessly. She was always the first to take Draco’s lap.

They continued watching the matches as the next selection took place.

EMBERDALE ACADEMY VS. STARWOOD ACADEMY

This was another battle, but the excitement wasn’t as high as during Draco’s fight. Even though some students demonstrated their domains, which was an impressive revelation, the battle itself lacked intensity.

The Starwood Academy emerged victorious, defeating Emberdale Academy without much effort.

WAVES ACADEMY VS. ROSE THORN ACADEMY

This was the second battle between top-five academies, featuring the Waves Academy. Draco took an interest in this match because Oscar was one of the participants.

Behind Oscar stood a young man and a lady. The Rose Thorn Academy had a similar lineup, but surprisingly, their leader was the female participant, meaning she was the strongest among them.

Both academies locked gazes as Oscar moved first.

“Tidal Wave!” he shouted, launching his attack at the three opponents.

The lady from Rose Thorn Academy snorted as thorn-covered roses grew across the arena, absorbing the tidal wave rushing toward them.

The flood was being absorbed, and the rose plants swelled, growing larger, stronger, and more resilient as they drew nutrients from the water.

Oscar’s eyes narrowed at the sight. He snorted before moving again.

“Water Dragon Blast!”

A familiar water dragon appeared behind him, but this time, it looked far more refined and realistic—though still not at the level of Draco’s own.

Draco noticed this and was surprised. He could see that Oscar had gained inspiration from him. He was impressed.

If Oscar were not a potential enemy but rather someone worth befriending, Draco might have even given him the Water Dragon Spell.

Speaking of that, Draco had considered giving Blum the Thunder Dragon Spell, but if he knew others had their eyes on this ability, he would have been more cautious. He didn’t want to put his allies in danger.

It wasn’t that they could be easily defeated or have their memories searched—they were God’s heirs, after all. But one could never be too sure of what might happen.

Each of them had attachments to their loved ones, including Draco himself. But unlike the others, he had taken extra precautions—he had marked his loved ones.

As Draco pondered these thoughts, he suddenly felt two intense gazes scrutinizing him.

He turned toward the direction of the stares.

They were coming from the Royal Academy side.

He looked and saw that it was Damien and someone called Fian from the Night Clan. Speaking of Damien, Draco was particularly interested in his Clone Technique.

Now that he had received the Weapon God Inheritance, he wouldn’t have much time to focus on it. But if he had a clone, he would be able to manage everything more efficiently without stressing himself.

“Well, a Cloning Ability can help you, but his current ranked Cloning Ability won’t do the job because the clone would only have sixty to seventy percent of his strength,” Xylara’s voice rang out.

“When you reach the peak rank of the Cloning Ability, you’ll be able to create clones that can last independently for a long time, maintaining their full strength based on the inheritance you bestow upon them.

“Also, they would have their own thoughts, just like living human beings. They would inherit your knowledge and experience. This is called the Transcendence Cloning Ability—a unique power that has broken every law and order of the Origin Heavenly Dao. If you possess this talent, you would become an enemy of the Heavens and be hunted,” Xylara continued solemnly.

Draco was shocked by this revelation. Just for having such an ability, one would become an enemy of the Heavens?

However, a thought crossed his mind, confusing him. “Isn’t the Plundering Ability and Copy Ability even more defying? And aren’t there others on par with it…?”

Even though Draco didn’t finish his sentence, Xylara understood his thoughts. She sighed.

“This is one of my duties—to hide the aura of the Plundering Talent, or you would face tribulations constantly.”

“Don’t forget your tribulation when you crossed Level 50. The Origin Heavenly Dao sensed that something was off, which was why it reacted so strongly—sending a thousand Origin Beings against you,” Xylara explained.

Her words made Draco realize something.

As he fell into deep thought, he remembered his past life—Xandros. Could this mean he had endured countless tribulations? He now understood why the entire Domain was against him and why the Invaders had taken advantage of the situation, causing war and weakening the God’s Domain.

Back to the Match

The Water Dragon attacked the Rose Plant, but the plant’s thorns extended in length, piercing through the Water Dragon’s body.

As they penetrated, the Water Dragon began to shrink—the plant absorbing its Originat.

Once the absorption was complete, the Rose Plant had grown even larger.

The entire audience was stunned.

This plant seemed to be Oscar’s weakness. There was seemingly no way for him to fight her since his attacks and Originat would only serve as nutrients for her.

Everyone turned to Oscar, wondering how he would counter this—including Draco.

But instead of looking troubled, Oscar smirked.

Even the young woman from the Rose Thorn Academy appeared uneasy, confused by his reaction.

“Check your plant again—see if you can still control it,” Oscar chuckled.

A bad feeling surged through the young lady. She quickly tried to control her plant, but something shocking happened.

Everyone watching was stunned, wondering how and when Oscar had managed to do this—even Draco himself was surprised.
