356: Not going well

In the following month, Host: Lu Xingchen taught Mu Ruxue in the morning and was taught by Jiang Taishen in the afternoon, leading a very fulfilling life.

Jiang Taishen's understanding of Word Spirit Power was far superior to his, teaching him many things.

Although Host: Lu Xingchen's Realm did not improve in this month, his overall strength greatly increased.

Furthermore, when Jiang Taishen guided him in Spirit Formation and Alchemist, his professional experience points grew wildly.

In just one month, he reached the Realm of Eighth-Grade Alchemist and Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation Master.

In the Cultivate room, Jiang Taishen said with a smile, "Your Comprehension Ability is quite good, boy. In just one month, you absorbed the experience I gained from Cultivating for decades. I have nothing more to teach you; the rest of the path you must walk yourself!"

Host: Lu Xingchen stood up and bowed to Jiang Taishen, softly saying, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance! Without your help, my professional skills would not have improved so quickly. There's still much of Master's abilities I haven't learned, but for now, let me digest what I have."

Jiang Taishen nodded slightly and chuckled, "You're quite a smooth talker, boy. This Puppet was taken by me from Lin Junyi. As the Human Race War God, you face the greatest challenges and are most likely to encounter danger, so this Puppet is for your self-defense!"

With that, Jiang Taishen touched the Storage Ring on his finger, and the Eight-Star Martial Venerable Realm Puppet appeared before Host: Lu Xingchen.

Seeing this, Host: Lu Xingchen's heart was filled with joy.

With his current strength, although he wouldn't die at the hands of an Eight-Star Martial Venerable, it would be difficult to defeat them.

If he had this Puppet for protection, his combat power would greatly increase.

Although what his master said was true, he was still a bit biased, choosing not to give this Puppet to his Senior Brother or Senior Sister, but to him instead.

Facing his master's gift, Host: Lu Xingchen naturally wouldn't refuse, simply burying this profound kindness deep in his heart.

Host: Lu Xingchen bowed again, softly saying, "Thank you, Master, for the gift. This Puppet in my hands will surely unleash its full value!"

Jiang Taishen waved his hand and chuckled, "Alright, you may leave. I need to rest now."

Host: Lu Xingchen nodded heavily: "Your disciple takes his leave."

After returning to his Immortal Cave, the first thing Host: Lu Xingchen did was erase Lin Junyi's Soul Imprint and plant his own Soul Imprint within the Puppet, making it his own.

Lin Junyi's Soul Power was only at a normal level, Late Spirit Realm, so erasing his Soul Imprint was very easy.

After Host: Lu Xingchen planted his Soul Imprint, he tried to control the Puppet and exchanged a few moves with it.

It could only be said that the difference in Realm was indeed very important; without using secret techniques, he simply couldn't break its defense.

After putting away the Puppet, Host: Lu Xingchen opened the System panel to check his attributes.

Good, everything was developing for the better.

Early the next morning, Host: Lu Xingchen went to Lin Xu's Immortal Cave and knocked on his door.

Lin Xu quickly opened the door.

Host: Lu Xingchen rubbed his head and said with a wry smile, "Senior Brother Lin Xu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long. I really have too many things to do. Can we research Dual Sword Combination now?"

Lin Xu chuckled, "I understand, you are a person with a background after all, with many things to care about. Unlike me, a lone wolf, when one person is full, the whole family is not hungry. Since you're ready, let's begin!"

The two found an open space at the peak of Lingyuan Peak.

Immediately, Host: Lu Xingchen took out the immortal slaying sword from his Storage Ring, and Lin Xu also took out the immortal slaying sword.

When the two spirit swords left the Storage Ring, they immediately trembled, and Host: Lu Xingchen almost couldn't control the immortal slaying sword.

Host: Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It seems these two spirit swords already have a resonance. Our Dual Sword Combination should be easy."

Lin Xu, however, frowned: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. One immortal slaying sword is already difficult to control; if we control two spirit swords at the same time, it will probably be even more difficult. It's normal for the two spirit swords to resonate, but whether we can utilize this resonance is still hard to say."

Host: Lu Xingchen nodded slightly: "Then let's try! You and I will activate Immortal Slaying Power together and see if we can fuse with each other to unleash stronger power."

"Good!"

The two simultaneously held their swords in their right hands, the Blade Edges of the two spirit swords touched, and then they activated Immortal Slaying Power to move towards each other's spirit swords.

The two streams of Immortal Slaying Power collided, and in an instant, a fierce impact erupted.

Forget about fusing with each other, they almost started fighting.

The two spirit swords immediately lost control, flew backward, and embedded themselves in the stone wall.

The immortal slaying sword even cut Host: Lu Xingchen's shoulder, and two different streams of Immortal Slaying Power simultaneously invaded his body.

Lin Xu immediately turned pale with fright, looked at Host: Lu Xingchen, and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother, are you alright?"

Host: Lu Xingchen said with a wry smile, "I'm not fine, let me recover!"

With that, he closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Xu dared not disturb him.

Immortal Slaying Power possessed the power to obliterate vitality, and it was extremely overbearing.

Even Host: Lu Xingchen, as the master of the immortal slaying sword, dared not let Immortal Slaying Power invade his body, only controlling Immortal Slaying Power through the immortal slaying sword.

Originally, Host: Lu Xingchen could control the Immortal Slaying Power of the immortal slaying sword, but when the two spirit swords touched, the Immortal Slaying Power began to riot, and he couldn't control either stream of Immortal Slaying Power.

Fortunately, only a wisp of Immortal Slaying Power invaded his body, and it wasn't too strong.

As the two streams of Immortal Slaying Power raged in his body, Host: Lu Xingchen hastily activated Dragon Power to suppress them.

Lin Xu's immortal slaying sword also had a Seal, and its quality was currently only heavenly tier high grade, so the Immortal Slaying Power was not fully released.

Relying on the many Dragon Power in his body, Host: Lu Xingchen finally obliterated that wisp of Immortal Slaying Power.

By the time he recovered, half an hour had passed.

Host: Lu Xingchen opened his eyes and said with a wry smile, "Done! This Immortal Slaying Power is truly overbearing; it's so troublesome for even me to suppress it. I can't imagine how uncomfortable those without Dragon Power protection would feel after being cut by the immortal slaying sword!"

Lin Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're alright."

Host: Lu Xingchen said with a wry smile, "It seems our Dual Sword Combination isn't going smoothly!"
