110: Chapter 110 Mechanical Puppet

For the next few days, they all conducted agility tests in this alleyway.

Jiang Ling discovered that training here was of great benefit to his Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps.

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps was a footwork technique from the ancient era, mysterious and unpredictable.

This kind of agility training allowed him to master it more quickly.

"Ding! Your Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps has reached Major Achievement!"

A few days later, Jiang Ling's Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps reached Major Achievement, giving his speed and agility a tenfold increase compared to before.

Jiang Ling could pass through that alleyway without being hit even once; it was as if he were taking a stroll, passing through with ease.

The others didn't have it so easy; they were covered in bruises every day and had to use medicinal baths to recover.

Although it was extremely grueling, it had to be said that this training was of immense help to them, as their dodging abilities improved significantly.

Gao Qiang watched as Jiang Ling navigated the alleyway without any difficulty. While marveling at Jiang Ling's freakish talent, he was also quite troubled; he couldn't exactly give Jiang Ling special treatment, as that would be unfair to the others.

"Jiang Ling, starting today, you'll wear this while training!"

Thus, Gao Qiang came up with a solution and got Jiang Ling a vest along with a military backpack.

The vest and military backpack were both filled with heavy metals.

Gao Qiang also had Jiang Ling take the black iron great saber and use its Blade Technique to block the small balls being launched in the alleyway.

This place was already a high-gravity environment several times that of normal; now that Jiang Ling was carrying so much weight and holding the black iron great saber, the pressure was unimaginable.

However, Jiang Ling didn't complain at all; such training was a precious opportunity for him.

Jiang Ling brandished the black iron great saber and entered the alleyway, using the great saber to slash at the small balls.

The black iron great saber was a heavy weapon; it excelled in power but fell far short in terms of agility.

Using it to slash the small balls was very taxing for Jiang Ling, but it was of great benefit to his Cultivate of the Blade Technique.

After training inside for a few days, Jiang Ling's control over the saber improved very rapidly.

"Ding! Through rigorous training, your Saber Intent has increased to LV11!"

"Ding! Through rigorous training, your Saber Intent has increased to LV12!"

"Ding! Through rigorous training, your Saber Intent has increased to LV13!"

...

Jiang Ling was pleasantly surprised; the saber was the weapon he intended to use for a long time to come.

The improvement of his Saber Intent would be a massive boost to his overall combat strength.

At the beginning, Jiang Ling found it difficult to slash the small balls with the black iron great saber and suffered many injuries, but after a few days, he could easily hit those small balls even while using a heavy weapon like the black iron great saber.

After ten days of special training, everyone's strength had improved significantly. At this point, Gao Qiang halted this phase of training and began the next.

Gao Qiang led them to another martial arts arena.

In the center of the arena stood a tall tower.

"Inside this tall tower are Mechanical Puppets left behind from the ancient era."

"These Mechanical Puppets are extremely agile, not much different from actual Martial Artists."

"You can go inside to train; it's just like a trial tower and can help you improve your cultivation."

"With each higher floor, the strength of the Mechanical Puppets inside will increase several times over."

"Go in one by one and see who can reach the highest floor!"

...

"I'll go first!"

Zhang Kuang was still the first to jump out.

Whoosh!

Without waiting for Gao Qiang to speak, he charged straight inside.

Bang, bang, bang...

Soon, the sounds of intense fighting came from within.

Over ten minutes later, Zhang Kuang's body came flying out.

"Damn it!"

"The Mechanical Puppets inside are so Gao Qiang!"

Zhang Kuang lay on the ground, cursing loudly.

Everyone was stunned. Were the Mechanical Puppets inside really that powerful?

They all had an understanding of Zhang Kuang's strength.

Even if they were stronger than Zhang Kuang, it wasn't by much. Since Zhang Kuang was knocked out so quickly, they feared they wouldn't be able to last long either.

"I'll go in and try!"

Han Keer strode into the tower.

Bang, bang, bang...

Soon, even more intense fighting sounds echoed from inside.

Over ten minutes later, Han Keer was also knocked flying out.

Her situation was slightly better than Zhang Kuang's, and she wasn't as severely injured, but she was still in quite a disheveled state.

"The Mechanical Puppets inside are truly formidable; you all should be careful."

Han Keer said to the others.

"I'll go give it a try!"

Tie Ta let out a great roar and charged inside with large strides.

Bang, bang, bang...

The sounds of battle from within were much more intense than during Han Keer's fight.

A power-type contestant like Tie Ta should have an easier time against the Mechanical Puppets than Han Keer.

Half an hour later, Tie Ta walked out.

"They really are quite Gao Qiang; I couldn't beat them!"

Tie Ta shook his head.

Gao Qiang couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile seeing them suffer a setback. This was exactly the effect he wanted: to teach these favored children of heaven a lesson, letting them know that there is always a heaven beyond heaven and people beyond people.

He wanted them to set aside their Zhang Kuang attitudes and become more humble and cautious.

Next, the others went in one by one. Those who could last over twenty minutes were considered impressive.

Those with weaker strength were knocked out in less than ten minutes.

Finally, it was Jiang Ling's turn, and everyone's gaze turned toward him.

They had all failed; Jiang Ling was now their only hope.

Jiang Ling took a soft breath and then strode into the tower.

Inside was an extremely spacious training room.

At that moment, in the center of the training room, ten Mechanical Puppets clad in black armor stood there silently.

If the others hadn't just been beaten so miserably, Jiang Ling might have even wondered if these ten Puppets could move at all.

Crackle, crackle...

Jiang Ling didn't dare to be careless. Lightning surged around his body as he walked toward the Puppets step by step.

When he was ten paces away from the Puppets, their eyes all simultaneously emitted a red glow.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

These ten Puppets were incredibly fast; in a blur of afterimages, they surrounded him in the center.

Jiang Ling's pupils constricted slightly; the speed of these Puppets was far beyond his expectations.

These Mechanical Puppets should be something like robots; how could their speed reach such a level?

Just what Materials were they made of?

In the next moment, the Mechanical Puppets attacked together, each using a Martial Skill, striking at him from all directions.

Their attacks were perfectly coordinated, forming a Formation that was dense and continuous, leaving absolutely no gaps.
