Chapter 209: The Mystery Of The Puppet
“Please…”
The two disciples finished saluting and pulled apart!
In the training ground sparring, they avoided vital points. During this period, they had sparred quite a bit and basically wouldn’t have any problems.
As long as no poison was used, there would be no problem.
“Begin!”
As soon as Ling Mo finished speaking, the two struck almost simultaneously. In an instant… two puppets appeared on the training ground.
The one on the left pulled horizontally and directly activated Thousand Mechanisms Sweep, countless steel needles shooting out!
“Hmm? There’s still a skill? Interesting…”
Dugu Bo watched dumbfounded. Using the puppet with soul power was actually just like a soul skill.
“Flying Flowers…”
Steel needles came assaulting. The disciple on the right remained unhurried. He pulled the puppet, leaped into the air, and used the Seven Star Position Change ability to continuously dodge in the sky.
“Arrow Rain…”
Dodging all the steel needle attacks, at the same time the puppet activated, continuously shooting steel needles from the air, like petals withering, flying down from the sky.
“What exquisite footwork…”
That Flying Flowers skill actually had such an exquisite evasion technique, and… it could also attack while evading.
“Shift…”
As soon as the Flying Flowers skill ended, that disciple used the puppet to instantly change position, appearing in front of the disciple on the left.
But unexpectedly, just as he was about to strike with a palm, that person disappeared from the spot, replaced by a puppet.
“What? Teleportation?”
At this moment, Dugu Bo couldn’t stay calm. The use of this puppet was truly too ingenious; he couldn’t grasp any pattern at all.
Real and fake indistinguishable, changing freely.
The moment the puppet appeared, Sky Exploding Star directly activated.
With a mechanical sound ringing out, a powerful explosion erupted on the training ground.
Countless steel needles shot out.
“It’s over?”
Under that kind of explosion, ordinary people couldn’t withstand it. Even if they wanted to retreat, it would be too late.
Dugu Bo was very curious about how that disciple would respond just now.
Looking over again, he saw a puppet standing in front of that disciple, perfectly blocking the steel needle assault.
And he stood unscathed behind it, completely fine.
“Holy crap! This… can it be used like this?”
Dugu Bo was stunned. Though the hidden weapons they used weren’t very powerful, that was just because their soul power was low.
But… this exquisite technique was exactly what Dugu Bo lacked!
The reason he was shocked was entirely because of these exquisite battle techniques and the various changes, making it impossible to guard against.
In that situation just now, what he could think of was definitely to use his own defense to block the opponent’s attack.
He hadn’t thought of another method: using the puppet’s indestructible defense to perfectly evade the opponent’s attack.
“Seven Star Moon Slash…”
On the field, the disciple who had just dodged the strike immediately counterattacked, the puppet moving along with him.
The two advanced together, shifting left and right, dazzling the eyes so much that it was impossible to tell which was the real body.
This change was almost instantaneous, even more exquisite than a soul skill.
The two advanced together and instantly exploded forth, a palm directly striking out!
However, when everyone thought that person was surely defeated, he moved…
“Wind Flower Drinking Moon…”
With a startled shout, he spun around and struck with a palm, viciously hitting the attacking disciple.
“That’s enough…”
The two exchanged a palm, on the verge of tangling in combat, when Ling Mo directly interrupted.
To avoid unnecessary casualties.
“You two performed well! It seems you haven’t been slacking this period…
However, your biggest flaw now is that you don’t know how to utilize the coordination between your martial soul and the puppet.
You’re just using the puppet simply, while ignoring that your own martial soul can also coordinate with the puppet for attacks…
Remember this point: the exquisite aspect of the puppet mechanism lies in ingenuity.
It can coordinate with any martial soul for use, whether for attack or defense; it’s an extremely powerful existence.
Since you’ve cultivated Heavenly Machine Transformation for too short a time, having this performance already satisfies me. Keep up the effort…”
After Ling Mo finished speaking, the crowd immediately responded, “We will obey the sect bishop’s teachings…”
“Mm! Continue cultivating. Don’t blindly pursue power; sometimes defense is also very important!
I’ve said what needs to be said. How much fortune you gain depends on your personal comprehension…”
After speaking, Ling Mo took Dugu Bo and left Heavenly Machine Pavilion.
Though their performance didn’t quite reach what he wanted, in these few days’ effort, being able to ingeniously use the puppets was already the greatest progress.
Everything can’t be rushed; they also needed time.
Returning to Star Picking Tower, Ling Mo looked at Dugu Bo’s old face that hadn’t recovered yet and felt like laughing.
“How about it? Do you still think this puppet is useless now?”
Ling Mo said amusedly.
“Haha, how could I! Sect Master, I feel this puppet was tailor-made for me!
This battle technique, style, and defense effect are simply too perverse.
Just that wave of exquisite transformation ability earlier isn’t something ordinary people could imagine.
In my lifetime, I’ve never seen such a magical thing. It can be said… it can completely be cultivated as a second martial soul.”
Dugu Bo praised without reservation. This puppet was simply too heaven-defying.
In the world, only Ling Mo could think of it.
Before Ling Mo, no one had ever thought of using mechanisms for combat, let alone with such magical techniques.
Once the puppet established a connection, all its actions were controlled by one’s own thought.
It could achieve the level of moving as the heart desires; just this one technique wasn’t comprehensible to ordinary people.
“The puppet I gave you is currently the highest level.
Later, I’ll teach you the specialized puppet control method. With your current strength, it won’t take long to master it thoroughly.
There’s still one month until the promotion match. After the promotion match ends, we should head to Spirit Hall.
At that time, there might be a good show…”
Ling Mo was already planning in his mind how to make a huge profit in this Soul Master Competition.
As for what to profit? The key lies in how big this storm can become.
What was currently most valuable at Ghost Gate? Undoubtedly, the hidden weapons…
As long as the hidden weapons could gain reputation, in the coming period, Ghost Gate might make a fortune.
Ling Mo was already looking forward to it, hoping this day would come soon. After all… Ghost Gate’s expenses were growing larger, needing a huge sum of money.
Although most of the industrial chain had now formed, it wasn’t enough to further expand the sect. Ling Mo still needed more funding.
“Understood! In this Soul Master Competition, we’ve already earned enough reputation. Next is the time to cast the net!
After the Soul Master Competition ends, there will definitely be a wave of people coming to our Ghost Gate.
Currently, besides funding, what we’re most lacking is talent, talent in every industry.
A sect’s foundation isn’t just about strength, but about development space, trends, and prospects…”
What Dugu Bo said, Ling Mo naturally understood! This was also his current biggest worry.
Dugu Bo and Ling Mo stayed on Star Picking Tower for a long time, discussing quite a few plans during that time.
After Ling Mo passed down Heavenly Machine Transformation and other cultivation techniques, Dugu Bo excitedly returned to the back mountain to cultivate.
He now couldn’t wait to cultivate successfully right away and go to Spirit Hall to settle accounts with those two scoundrels.
Alright! Subscriptions have dropped now, so five updates this month, maybe three next month! I’m preparing a new book…
