CHAPTER 195: CHAPTER 152: COME ON! LET’S SEE IF I’M GONNA MESS YOU UP! _2

All things in this place, whether useful or not, were scanned into his mind by the Fairy Eyes.

Wen Zhixing also began to temporarily ignore some of the more obscure and difficult-to-understand content.

At the same time, Wen Zhixing also devoted himself to comprehending the Puppet Skill.

The purpose of his cultivation in the refining path was for this Puppet Skill.

Studying them in conjunction proved to be more efficient.

This Puppet Skill demands not only expertise in the refining path but also in the array path. Even a remarkable accomplishment in spiritual sense is required for the puppets to be complete.

After some research, Wen Zhixing began to have a deeper understanding of the Puppet Skill.

To refine a complete puppet, one must first refine a qualified body—obviously, the refining path is essential.

Additionally, one must embed numerous array methods within this body to rejuvenate this already dead body, using the array path to compensate for lost physical abilities.

Finally, one must divide a portion of their divine soul to awaken and control the incomplete consciousness within the Puppet Body.

All three are indispensable. No wonder one can control at most only ten puppets, Wen Zhixing had an epiphany.

Each puppet requires a division of part of his divine soul.

For an average person, if their divine soul isn’t strong enough, they wouldn’t be able to bear the strain of even one puppet, let alone ten.

Dividing the divine soul into eleven parts was not something an ordinary person could achieve.

Moreover, puppets cannot generate Divine Consciousness Power on their own; they entirely rely on Wen Zhixing to sustain them.

If the puppet were made from living beings, then this issue with spiritual sense should be solvable, Wen Zhixing thought, his mind turning to Zhang Tiancheng.

Zhang Tiancheng’s body had also been refined and filled with array methods, but his Sea of Sense was still intact.

In this way, Zhang Tiancheng was an independent entity. He could exist independently and survive without relying on Mu Yunqing.

Mu Yunqing’s research into his own Puppet Skill must have been only average, Wen Zhixing quickly mused. Otherwise, Zhang Tiancheng’s Sea of Qi should also be intact.

Zhang Tiancheng lacked a Sea of Qi. It wasn’t that he couldn’t have one.

It must have been that Mu Yunqing’s refining techniques were too crude, turning Zhang Tiancheng into a defective product.

I understand... none of these aspects can be overlooked... Wen Zhixing slowly closed his eyes.

All the books in this place had already been recorded by his Fairy Eyes, and what followed was a slow contemplation.

Another day passed in a flash.

During this period, the Life Defying Blood Body returned once. Seeing that Wen Zhixing didn’t react, it silently stood by.

On this outing, it did not find Liu Qingdai.

The only gain was incidentally collecting Fortune Fragments four times, and the result was as expected.

[Gray Fortune Fragment +3.]

[White Fortune Fragment +1, current White Fortune Fragment: 2/2.]

Three gray, one white. The luck of the Life Defying Blood Body was indeed unmatched.

It directly received the worst possible guaranteed outcome.

But the Life Defying Blood Body nodded in satisfaction.

Good, it’s the same old feeling, comforting.

Night fell once more.

Seeing that Wen Zhixing wasn’t awake, the Life Defying Blood Body went out again on its own.

It began to stealthily search for Liu Qingdai’s whereabouts.

The mountain ranges were deep and secluded. At night, the Wonderous Palace was noticeably noisier than during the day.

Screams came and went. Yes, screams.

The furnaces were being plundered of their essence, a fate worse than death.

The Life Defying Blood Body shrank to the size of a bean, moving through grass that seemed as tall as giant trees. It had grown accustomed to this size.

It was almost impossible for anyone to notice something of that size.

The Life Defying Blood Body, walking with an arrogant stride, leapt up and clung to the lit window to take a careful look. Inside the house, the battle was in full swing.

Seeing it wasn’t Liu Qingdai, it leapt down again and moved on to the next target.

After the search the night before, the Life Defying Blood Body had almost combed through every part of the Wonderous Palace.

Soon, it arrived at the back mountain of the Wonderous Palace.

This place was seldom visited by anyone and was also the location of the dungeons of the Wonderous Palace.

[A Fortune Fragment is discovered, do you wish to consume one month of life-span to randomly collect it?]

Just then, a panel prompt appeared. Yet the bushes ahead seemed empty and deserted.

But purple and golden lights glowed brilliantly from within them. ? The Life Defying Blood Body cocked its head in confusion.

With nobody ahead, where did the Fortune Fragment come from?

The next moment, the bushes began to shake, and a massive head emerged.

Two eyes emitting a ghostly green glow immediately locked onto it.

Under the hazy moonlight, a White Tiger with faint black and white stripes on its forehead tilted its head slightly, lazily watching the Life Defying Blood Body.

It regarded the Blood Body as if observing something interesting. A faint halo shimmered around its own body, the bright moonlight pouring into it.

A large number of purple and golden Fortune Fragments were sparkling above its head, which also hinted at the White Tiger’s extraordinary identity.

? The Life Defying Blood Body was taken aback; it had never encountered such a creature before.

A flash of bloody light in its hand, the Sword Pill transformed into a blood-red long sword appearing in its palm.

It had encountered wild beasts before, but all were easily dispatched.

Come on! Just wait and see if I don’t finish you off.

The Life Defying Blood Body’s figure enlarged as it began brandishing its sword, brimming with confidence.

"ROAR!"

Seeing the Life Defying Blood Body grow larger, the White Tiger also perked up. Its expression became excited.

CLANG! The Life Defying Blood Body didn’t hesitate, its attack as swift as the wind.

A dazzling red glow burst forth—a sharp sword light aimed directly at the White Tiger’s brow with lightning speed.

CLANG! A sound like clashing metal rang out. This seemingly unstoppable strike, however, disintegrated into dust.

"Ah ba?"

The Life Defying Blood Body was instantly stunned.

It hadn’t expected its sword to be useless.

The next moment, a cheerful smile appeared on the White Tiger’s face, and with a soft "Awooo~," it pounced fiercely.

BOOM! Before the Life Defying Blood Body could react, a massive tiger paw slammed it heavily onto the ground.

"Ah ba?"

With that one swipe, the Life Defying Blood Body’s head was instantly turned into a mist of blood.

Eh? The White Tiger seemed somewhat surprised.

How had it managed to smash the thing so easily?

And these blood mists began to rapidly converge towards the halo outside the White Tiger’s body.

The next moment, the White Tiger’s body shuddered. After absorbing the blood mists, the halo around it suddenly expanded.

Wen Zhixing possessed a Longevity Body, so these blood mists were naturally extraordinary.

A questioning "Awoo?" escaped the White Tiger, a look of pleasant surprise filling its eyes.

These blood mists were of great help to it!

At the same time, the headless Life Defying Blood Body began to rapidly restore itself.

Its form had merely shrunk a bit. Composed entirely of Wen Zhixing’s blood, the Life Defying Blood Body naturally had no vital points.

Such an injury was not sufficient to kill it.

Huh? The White Tiger tilted its head again upon seeing this.

It apparently hadn’t expected the Life Defying Blood Body to recover. A flicker of surprise, then delight, showed in its eyes.

It didn’t die!

The Life Defying Blood Body, however, was scared half to death.

What kind of monster is this? Run!

Seeing the Life Defying Blood Body attempting to flee, the White Tiger grew anxious. With an "AWOO!", it pounced again, delivering another paw swipe.

This time, its strike was gentler, yet it still caused the Life Defying Blood Body’s form to disintegrate.

As a result, more blood mist surged into the halo outside the White Tiger’s body.

In an instant, the halo grew once again.

The White Tiger’s body trembled slightly, its eyes closing as if digesting something.

"Ah ba! Ah ba!! AH BA!!!" it shrieked.

The Life Defying Blood Body was truly anxious now.

It had roamed the Wonderous Palace for so long and never encountered such a monster!

Even Wen Zhixing couldn’t withstand its sword!

Yet how could this creature toy with it so easily?

The most critical point was that its body couldn’t withstand such abuse!

If it were utterly dispersed, it would mean extinction!

After all, it was only a Blue Quality Divine Ability.

Its primary use was actually to serve as a substitute in death!

Run! The Life Defying Blood Body was terrified.

Before its body had time to solidify, it hurriedly dashed forward.

THWACK! Another tiger paw shot out, smacking the Life Defying Blood Body down from mid-air.

Then another paw pressed on it, rendering it immobile.

"Ah ba..."

The Life Defying Blood Body trembled violently.

It was done for. This time it was really going to die.
