Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 174 - 167: 22 Minutes 18 Seconds, Speedrun Zhu Yan White Bone Observation!
"Master Zhu, may we start? I’m a bit pressed for time."
After Su Yuan covered his human puppet with demon talismans, he asked quickly.
Immersed in shock, Zhu Qingqing snapped back to reality and quickly nodded.
She controlled her puppet body to move forward, colliding head-on with Su Yuan’s human puppet.
Bang—
A muffled sound like hitting a leather ball resonated as Su Yuan’s human puppet was knocked back.
But when the human puppet was steadied by Su Yuan’s control, there wasn’t a scratch on its surface.
Just now, Zhu Qingqing’s collision was easily absorbed by the spiritual energy bag formed by the Immortal Sword Body Talisman.
This is the power of the Demon Technique·Finger Talisman.
Clearly, the Undying Sword Body is supposed to be a skill of Taibai Phecda, yet the latter couldn’t directly infuse this technique into a human puppet.
But Su Yuan could easily do it, and this was merely a small aspect of the effects of the Demon Technique·Finger Talisman.
"Master Zhu, this isn’t against the rules, is it?"
"Using flexible materials to enhance a puppet’s resistance to strikes is part of its hardness, and a spiritual energy bag is certainly a type of flexible material."
Blatantly cheating, Su Yuan explained earnestly.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Qingqing nodded lightly and then said:
"But for you to pass this level, you must not only withstand the impact of my puppet but also break it."
"That’s simple."
Su Yuan nodded, using the Corpse Nourishment method from Ancient Corpse Refinement to quickly turn the human puppet into a Copper Skin Iron Bone Corpse.
With his outstanding corpse cultivation skills, and various materials manifested, the corpse nourishing process took only three minutes.
After strengthening the human puppet considerably, Su Yuan controlled it to strike with the hardest part—its elbow.
Directly crushing Zhu Qingqing’s chest inward.
This level was cleared without suspense.
Once passed, Zhu Qingqing’s puppet’s chest rapidly restored back to normal without a word, making way for the path to the second level.
But Su Yuan had just met up with Taibai Phecda, so why would he proceed alone to the dangerous second level?
What if there were 500 axemen hidden in the second level?
"Master Zhu, your next two test puppets should still be the one in front of me, right?"
"In that case, we don’t need to waste time traveling. Let’s solve the remaining two levels right here."
Zhu Qingqing had no objections to this request.
She stayed in place, engaging Su Yuan in a battle of puppet control precision and charm.
The outcomes of these two battles were obvious, ending in Zhu Qingqing’s total defeat.
No way, even though Su Yuan was far inferior to Zhu Qingqing in puppet control techniques, the hardware configuration of his human puppet was too high!
One Demon Technique·Finger Weapon, plus an AI soul escaped from the Taixu Illusion Realm, allowed the human puppet to fight autonomously.
Combined with the various abilities granted by the Demon Technique·Finger Talisman, it’s no exaggeration to say that aside from needing spirit stones or Su Yuan’s spiritual power to drive it, the human puppet wasn’t much different from Su Yuan himself in battle.
In this absolute hardware advantage, what could Zhu Qingqing do to compete with Su Yuan?
Her puppet didn’t even have a soul!
And in the contest of the Charm Dao, how could Zhu Qingqing, who was secluded and out of touch, compete with the top-tier secondary game persona simulated by Su Yuan’s Cyber Brothers?
What is a top-tier secondary game persona?
It is the most enticing persona for men, verified by countless otakus on the Spiritual Net.
Do you understand the three noes? Do you know tsundere? Have you heard of the theory that every cultivator is a white-haired fan?
Not to mention the high-end stuff. Does the Ancient Cultivation Realm have black stockings? Fishnets? Lace?
Don’t even talk about persona or software, your hardware doesn’t even compare!
If Zhu Qingqing was a bit unconvinced by her failure in operation precision, then in the Dao of Charm, she admitted defeat wholeheartedly.
Indeed, over a hundred thousand years of development, mankind may not have advanced in other areas, or even regressed...
But in the Dao of Seduction, it has only trended upward, with no regression or interruption in inheritance.
"I lost."
After Su Yuan passed all nine levels, Zhu Qingqing candidly admitted defeat.
Her tone wasn’t exasperated; instead, it hinted at a touch of respect.
At the moment Zhu Qingqing conceded, Su Yuan’s system interface popped up automatically, refreshing with new task information.

But upon noticing the latter task reward, Su Yuan’s attention was immediately captured.
