Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1067 - 192:

But fortunately, He listened to the boy's words and didn't pierce the talisman needle into himself, otherwise his Divination Child would have to lie down again.

Fainting in such a bizarre place and becoming a burden to the team is very unwise.

The child is very concerned about Lin Shuyou now. If something happens to Lin Shuyou, then the bond between Him and the boy will break.

Li Zhiyuan: "Did you see it just now? The white bones."

Zhao Yi: "I saw them, they're human bones, so these shadows in the walls are all people."

Li Zhiyuan: "They're dead people."

Zhao Yi: "There's really no need to emphasize that."

Having been sealed here for so many years, it's unrealistic to expect them to be in good health.

"No, it needs emphasis, dead people!"

Earlier, Li Zhiyuan was indeed obsessed because his thoughts had entered a dead end, causing chaos.

He knew this Nuo Puppetry Technique was very mysterious and profound. Otherwise, he wouldn't have persisted in mimicking and learning it until now, but when its real value was harshly doused with cold water, Li Zhiyuan fell into deep self-doubt.

Fortunately, he quickly figured it out.

This puppetry technique is indeed excellent. The reason it contrasts with reality is due to the exemplary performance of those hands on the coffin, and because the performance is too perfect.

The former is because the hands present the most standard and perfect Nuo Puppetry Technique, the latter because the special environment here allows it to lavishly waste resources.

But this doesn't mean there's no solution, which is... reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

It's known those shadows are corpses, although they've undergone some changes after being soaked here for a long time, but corpses remain corpses. There are many here but even more out in the world.

Theoretically, as long as the corpse is relatively complete, the Nuo Puppetry Technique can be applied.

As for the massive consumption in deduction, that's easier to resolve.

Influenced by the records of the deceased Xu Yijin, the puppets crafted by this pair of hands can only replicate abilities already used by the imitator due to knowing the "what" but not the "why," causing deduction costs to skyrocket.

He didn't need to do it this way.

Take the earlier "Puppet White Crane Child" for example, when Li Zhiyuan performed this puppetry technique, no need to deduce many things because he already knew them.

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra he mastered is more complete and comprehensive than the official system.

If it weren't for the unwillingness of those Yin Gods to descend upon him, he could have become a better Divination Child than Lin Shuyou.

Long ago when both sides clashed on the playground, he pretended to call upon General Sun, and not even the White Crane Child could discern the truth.

As for the talisman needle, no deduction needed. He has it, just equip it to the puppet.

The cultivation technique I know, the equipment I have, familiar with the fighting styles and tactics, doesn't this significantly reduce the puppet's maintenance cost?

Following this reasoning, Run Sheng's cultivation technique "Qin's Jiao Observation Method" Body Refinement Realm, he understands the secret of its energy flow better than Run Sheng himself, and he is more familiar with the distribution of evil qi within Run Sheng, after all, he's the one who personally suppressed it for Run Sheng, so he can create a Run Sheng puppet by imitation.

Then, there's Tan Wenbin. Tan Wenbin's Ghost Control Skill was designed by himself, just those two resentful babies are hard to find, if nearby doesn't have a handy wandering ghost, then he wouldn't pinch out a Tan Wenbin.

Finally, there's Yin Meng…

Hmm, forget Meng Meng.

In short, creating puppets based on his partners provides the best cost performance.

"Pop!"

Above the coffin, ten fingers interlocked again.

From a green stone cone above, ten shadows slid down, all merging into the white cocoon below.

Why the previous round's Masked Man collapsed was because it was made of five shadows, unable to sustain the pressure after the talisman needle was inserted.

Li Zhiyuan analyzed based on the number of shadows and their demonstrated strength in previous rounds, and preemptively predicted this, notifying the child not to pierce the needle on himself.

But now, the opponent has improved the teaching quality. Ten shadows will form the next Masked Man, and its quality should be sufficient to withstand the effect of being pierced by the talisman needle.

Zhao Yi: "Why don't we just end this? I've just realized this puppetry technique is good, but it seems impractical."

Li Zhiyuan said nothing.

Zhao Yi continued to persuade, "I know you might feel unwilling, but sometimes, things are just out of control. If this opportunity isn't satisfying, then there'll be another one.

I suspect the earlier Masked Man exploded because the number of shadows used was insufficient. Look now, ten shadows slid down at once, that white cocoon stretched so large and hasn't fallen, the newly emerged one should perfectly exert the previous power.

Even if this one is defeated… it can still continue, maybe next time it'll use more shadows to form an even larger one."

Run Sheng shook the Yellow River Shovel in his hand, saying, "We can go down and help."

Yin Meng nodded.

Tan Wenbin, holding his chin, was contemplating. He thought the three of them might not be able to go down, just a feeling, he hadn't figured out the specific reason yet.

Zhao Yi: "You guys definitely shouldn't go down now. Those hands are following their pace, slowly proceeding step by step. If you go down, it might disrupt the question pace, turning from one-on-one into two-on-two, three-on-three, leading to total chaos."
