64 -062: Assaulting the Puppet Tower

Xiao Ye’s strong presence just now had already caught everyone’s attention.

“This kid definitely trained in combat techniques focused on the physical body; no wonder his physical strength is so strong.”

“He’s quite smart, isn’t he?

Since he doesn’t have enough acupoints, and his martial arts cultivation can’t improve, he finds another way?”

Listening to these comments, Xiao Ye couldn’t bother to explain.

His gaze was fixated on the Puppet Tower, as a young man was currently stepping into it.

“Damn it, there’s only two years left until the final deadline.

If I still can’t get through the Puppet Tower, I’ll be demoted to an Outer Disciple!” The young man cursed as his figure flashed, rushing into the Puppet Tower.

It was obvious that this young man was a veteran Outer Disciple.

In the Disciple Handbook, it’s clearly recorded that the fastest record for an Outer Disciple to pass through the Puppet Tower is four years.

Other Outer Disciples who have successfully passed the Puppet Tower did so at nearly twenty-five years old, taking seven or eight years.

This only shows that it’s extremely difficult for an Innate Martial Artist to advance to another realm, as passing the third level of the Puppet Tower requires at least the Innate Realm Fourth Level of cultivation.

In the Innate Realm Fourth Level, the True Qi in the body has already liquefied, which is a threshold that has stopped countless martial artists.

It requires a long time to accumulate and break through.

At this time, the number of acupoints plays a crucial role.

Those with more acupoints naturally achieve the result with half the effort when it comes to cultivation.

Therefore, very few can become Inner Sect Disciples in the end; most will be cruelly eliminated, as it’s very rare for the number of acupoints to reach the Upper Class genius level.

The moment the young man stepped into the Puppet Tower, the originally grayish-white tower body began to ripple like the surface of water, with a red dot of light appearing in Xiao Ye’s line of sight.

“Third Brother, this Puppet Tower is really amazing.

That red dot represents the young man going through the tower,” Li Wufeng explained.

Xiao Ye nodded in admiration.

This way, people outside can know the situation of the person challenging the tower.

At this moment, another black dot of light appeared on the tower body.

“Is that a human-shaped puppet?” Xiao Ye hurriedly looked more closely. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

He saw the red dot flash and rush towards the black dot.

It wasn’t long before the black dot flickered and completely disappeared.

“Passed the first level!” The area in front of the Puppet Tower was crowded with disciples who came to challenge the tower, all staring at the dots of light on the tower body.

The red dot quickly moved to the second level.

At this point, ten black dots appeared on the tower body and rushed at the red dot.

Those outside couldn’t know the situation of the battle inside and could only watch those dots.

As time passed, the black dots decreased one by one until only three were left.

Bang!

Suddenly, that young man was blasted out, looking embarrassed, with his robe torn to pieces.

“Damn it, failed again!” The young man climbed up from the ground, full of unwillingness.

“Rushed into the second level and defeated seven puppets.

This record is also considered good among veteran disciples.

After all, there aren’t many who can rush into the third level now,” Li Wufeng sighed and said.

At this time, an ordinary-looking teenager walked towards the Puppet Tower, attracting a lot of attention.

“Ye Wuhen!” Xiao Ye’s gaze dimmed.

He was definitely a Son of County level genius, with the number of acupoints reaching the Upper Class, only second to Bai Meng among the newcomers.

Moreover, he had entered the Innate Realm and reached that stage for two months, so his strength must be very strong now.

“Xiao Ye, you defeated me in the entry-level assessment.

I’ve always regarded you as a rival.

I hope you won’t fall too far behind me.” Ye Wuhen said, seeing the power of Xiao Ye’s physical body, he had a glimmer of hope for Xiao Ye.

After finishing, Ye Wuhen dashed into the Puppet Tower.

Rival?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye touched his nose; he had never considered the other a rival.

Soon, one red and one black dot appeared on the first level of the Puppet Tower.

The two red dots stalemated for a few minutes, and then the black dot dimmed as the red dot flashed and charged into the second level.

“Entered the second level!”

“This newcomer is awesome!”

The Outer Disciples outside the tower were in an uproar, knowing that among the current newcomers, only Bai Meng had broken into the second level, even defeating three puppets.

Xiao Ye was also slightly surprised.

Getting through the first level, didn’t it mean that Ye Wuhen’s cultivation had at least reached the late stage of the Innate Realm First Level?

After breaking into the second level, ten black dots appeared again on the tower body.

“Are these puppets indestructible?” Xiao Ye frowned and asked.

Before Ye Wuhen, the young man had already defeated several puppets.

Why did they appear again now?

“Indestructible?” Li Wufeng laughed, “Third Brother, you’re too naive.

These puppets are extremely tough; even Inner Sect Disciples might not be able to kill them, let alone us.”

“We just need to defeat them.”

As the two were talking, the red dot was already entangled with the black dots for about a few minutes.

Ye Wuhen was blasted out.

“Not bad, being able to stalemate for several minutes with ten puppets equivalent to the Late Stage of Innate Realm Second Level is already quite good.” An experienced Inner Sect Disciple evaluated.

“Indeed, it’s quite good.

After all, not everyone is a freak like Bai Meng.”

Bai Meng possessed twelve acupoints, cultivation reached the Late Stage of Innate Realm Second Level, and even touched a trace of Martial Arts True Intent, naturally incomparable to others.

Ye Wuhen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and revealed an excited smile.

This was his first time coming to challenge the Puppet Tower, and he directly broke into the second level.

“Xiao Ye, it’s your turn.

I hope you’re still qualified to be my rival.” Ye Wuhen turned his gaze to Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye smiled slightly and, under everyone’s gaze, walked towards the Puppet Tower.

He came this time to experience the Puppet Tower, not to compete with others.

Besides, Ye Wuhen was not his rival anymore.

“Third Brother, try to hold out longer in the first level!” Yu Fang and Li Wufeng encouraged.

“Third Brother, do your best!” Long Shaojie also chimed in.

“This kid’s physical prowess is quite impressive; I reckon he can hold out for a few minutes in the first level.” An experienced disciple at the front of the Puppet Tower commented.

These words drew a lot of agreement.

Although there’s only one puppet in the first level, it’s equivalent to the late stage of the Innate Realm First Level martial artist.

Among the newcomers, only Bai Meng and Ye Wuhen have reached this cultivation.

As for Xiao Ye, he was merely a body of waste; managing to hold on for a few minutes would be considered good enough.

The experienced disciple happened to glance at the Puppet Step, and his mouth gaped wide, eyes bulging out.

“What’s wrong with you?” Seeing this, the people next to him found it strange and looked up curiously, immediately becoming dumbfounded.

Because at this time on the tower body, the red dot representing Xiao Ye had already entered the second level!

They had only spoken a few words.

Just walking from the first level to the second level takes some time, let alone the obstacle of puppets?

“Who can tell me how this kid got into the second level?

Did the puppet in the first level break?”

“Yes, it must be broken!” A few others nodded in agreement.

But the next words took their breath away and left them speechless.

“I just saw that after the kid entered the Puppet Tower, he defeated the puppet on the first level with a single move.” A young boy said with his face full of shock.

The field was plunged into a deathly silence, as if the air had stopped flowing.

“Is he really that strong?” Ye Wuhen clenched his fists, a sense of powerlessness spreading throughout his body.

No need to say more; just based on Xiao Ye defeating the puppet on the first level so quickly, it could be seen that his strength absolutely far surpassed his own.

“Haha, Third Brother is actually so amazing!” Yu Fang’s eyes shone as he laughed heartily.

“Let’s see if Third Brother can defeat the puppets on the second level!” Li Wufeng and Long Shaojie were also very excited.

…

Inside the Puppet Tower.

“The puppet on the first level is really weak.” Xiao Ye shook his head and stepped onto the second level.

Upon entering the Puppet Tower, a human-shaped puppet appeared and charged at him.

Xiao Ye did not even use Innate True Qi, directly utilizing his physical strength, and sent it flying with a single blow.

After cultivating the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, his strength received dual amplification, and he could rely on physical strength alone to match martial artists at the early stage of the Innate Realm Second Level, so defeating the puppet on the first level was naturally no problem.

As he stepped into the second level, Xiao Ye, aided by the faint white light in the Puppet Tower, found that the second level was no different from the first level.

In the empty space, ten human-shaped puppets with a metallic texture stood in a row.

Click!

As soon as Xiao Ye stepped onto the second level, the eyes of the ten human-shaped puppets lit up with a ghastly white light, resembling human eyes.

Crunch, crunch!

Simultaneously, the ten human-shaped puppets began to move with mechanical steps, charging towards Xiao Ye.

“I want to see how strong you are!” Xiao Ye’s eyes shot two sharp beams of light like heaven-splitting longswords, his war intent soaring.

“Four Tripod Heavenly Technique!”

Xiao Ye shouted, and the muscles under his robe bulged like coiled dragons, full of texture, while a vague giant cauldron appeared above his head.

Swoosh!

Xiao Ye’s figure shot out like a bullet, throwing a punch at one of the puppets.

Boom!

The puppet mechanically raised its arm, clashing with the incoming Xiao Ye, producing a thunderous crash.

A tremendous force erupted from the puppet’s arm, blasting Xiao Ye backward.

He was pushed back dozens of steps before coming to a halting stop in a sorry state.

“They’re indeed strong!” Xiao Ye felt his blood and Qi churn, and his fist was in severe pain.

Fortunately, his physical body had been tempered by the Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth, providing extraordinary defensive power; otherwise, he would have been injured for sure.

The exchange just now was done purely with physical strength, as he wanted to test how strong these puppets were.

“It’s time to try my full strength!” Xiao Ye’s black hair fluttered, and his eyes blazed like a scorching sun.

A powerful wave of True Qi swept through the second level.

“Battle!”

Xiao Ye stomped his foot on the ground, darting out to engage the ten charging puppets in an intense battle.
