Chapter 267 267: Remote Viewing
Caleb waited for a few moments before he felt one of his shadows communicate with him through their spiritual connection. The shadows might not be able to talk. But they are connected to him through a spiritual link. After all, they are his shadows. Truly a part of him.
Instinctively, Caleb felt that he could share senses with the three shadows. So he decided to share senses with the first shadow which had reached his father's room and was currently hiding in the shadows of the door.
Just like a CCTV for remote viewing. Caleb could see what his shadow was seeing even though it didn't really have eyes. Hear what it was hearing and so on... At this moment, he saw his father sorting out documents on a study table with a yellow old-fashioned lamp on top of the desk. He has a serious business expression.
'This old fellow is really fond of business, like Delvin.'
His father wasn't even aware that he was peeking at him now and watching every one of his actions. How could he? His shadow was fused naturally with the shadows of the door. It could be said that even if it was gods. Gods won't necessarily sense his shadow assistants.
'These shadow assistants of mine are terrifying and dangerous weapons.'
Caleb couldn't help but think so... His shadows were natural assassins since they were made of shadows. They can fight as they have 50% of attributes. His current physical attributes and spiritual attributes were currently 25,000. That means each of his three shadows has 12,500 points of physical and spiritual attributes. They're even stronger than his previous self, which has only 10,000 attribute points! Of course, they might not necessarily defeat his previous self without fusing into one. After all, his previous self has still had numerous hard-to-deal-with abilities.
Just like that, Caleb also felt the two other shadows reach his mother and Klein. Similarly, he managed to monitor all their moves remotely without their knowledge. Even Klein, who was at the Awakening Realm Advanced Stage, was clueless that he was being watched by him!
This was perfect for peeking at girls! Cough! Nevermind. He doesn't have such a hobby. Kidding aside... Ultimately, the fusion of the five or six shadow abilities was totally worth it.
Although he can't use Phantom Step and have the effect of invisibility while walking through the shadows anymore. He at least gained powerful assistants. For Phantom Step, he could just use his Deka Step and the D-rank step 'Adaptive Feet' butler Alfred taught him. As for invisibility in the shadows... Well, he had to admit that it pains him.
However, he knew the universal truth that you can't have the best of both worlds. Sometimes, you need to make sacrifices to obtain even something better. The fusion system, although overpowered, is not omnipotent. It still needs materials for fusion. After all, without materials, what the fuck should he fuse? At this moment, he has a better grasp and better understanding of his fusion system. His opinion of it didn't change. It was too damn cheating!
Just like that, the three shadows finally came back on his body and fused into one. Caleb raised his hand, which made the shadow also raise its hand with perfect timing. It was as if nothing had just happened.
'Fortunately, they can fuse into one and mirror what I'm doing.'
Or else... How the hell should he explain why his shadow can move and separate itself from his body!? Wouldn't that bring him trouble!? Enjoy new adventures from empire
Caleb smiled. What a bountiful day! Not only did he advance to the Transcendent Realm. He also gained a useful ability!
...
Just like that, Monday arrived again. Caleb watched as his classmates talked about the trends and gossip about couples and issues about just anything.
Suddenly, the students became silent as a muscular teenager in denim and a black compression shirt entered the classroom with a relaxed smile on his face. Black hair, angled, defined facial features...
'This pretentious prick.'n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Caleb clicked his tongue.
"Look, Zhou is finally here."
"Shhh... Lower your voice or else you will annoy him. It's not good to be on his bad side."
The students looked at the teenager with admiration and respect. Why would they not? Zhou is the top 1 student in the No.3 high school! The No.1 student! They are obviously the same age, but Zhou was the first student to break through and become an Entry Stage Awakening Realm Genetic Warrior. What's really special about it was the fact that Zhou didn't have a heaven-defying background. He was just an orphan. In the entire school, Zhou was called the 'Commoner Genius' and they were lucky to be in the same section as him.
A big, fat student named Gluten approached Zhou with a flattering smile. He pointed at the empty seat near where his seat was also located and said: "Boss Zhou, you can sit near my table! The air there is fresh. No, you can even decide if you want to exchange sit with me..."
"Boss Zhou, don't listen to Gluten. You can sit beside mine instead! I have a lot of interesting stories that might interest you." Another student offered. Same as Gluten. He looked at Zhou as if looking at his father.
'These bootlickers...' Zhou's mouth twitched. However, he actually likes being the center of attention. He scanned the room with his eyes as if looking at something. Then, his eyes lit when his gaze landed on a redhead girl whose table was at the corner near the window. However, it didn't take long for Zhou's expression to be sour as he saw that the table beside the girl was occupied by someone.
Caleb, on the other hand, looked as Zhou walked in his direction with a disgruntled expression. Then, Zhou stopped after stopping beside him. Zhou looked at him coldly and said: "This student... That seat is mine. Can you sit in another place?"
'Huh? This brat actually has the gal to order me? Who does he think he is?' Caleb won't let someone weaker than him order him around in such an arrogant manner. Not to mention, also weaker than one of his shadow assistants...
If Zhou had been polite, he might have compromised. But the bastard was clearly conceited. As if the world fucking revolves around him!
"What if I don't?" Caleb's eyes narrowed.
