Chapter 52: Saving Lei Gang’s Father
The parents looked on in amazement as a wooden figure grew out from Su Xiuyu's shoulder, slowly shaping into a perfect replica of him.
Thankfully, their parents weren't extraordinary people themselves—just ordinary folks. So while the sight was bizarre, they weren't totally freaked out. They'd already accepted that people with strange powers existed. One more weird ability? Sure, why not?
If the Special Service had been around, though? They'd probably be crying in a bathroom stall. Seriously? This is how superpowers awaken now?
"Dad, Mom," the wooden clone greeted them.
"Oh my god, son—your clone can talk?"
"Yes," Su Xiuyu nodded. "He's my clone, but there's no difference between us. He can think, talk, and remember everything just like me. If you asked him about my childhood, he'd answer exactly the same way I would. You can think of him as another me."
The parents were stunned. They couldn't tell how strong the clone was, but the idea of something copying their son's entire being—memories, thoughts, everything—was mind-blowing.
"Mom, Dad, don't doubt him," the wooden clone added. "If something happens to my real body, I am Su Xiuyu. We share everything. You're still my parents."
Then Su Xiuyu stepped forward again. "Now watch this—Earth Bending: Earth Clone."
With a gesture, a second clone formed—this one made of hardened earth.
"This one's mainly for protecting the house," he explained. "The wood clone will stay by your side. The earth clone's defense is insane. If anything dangerous happens, let him handle it."
