46: Nine thousand puppet troops

Chu Wushe, son of the Alliance Master of the Thunder Alliance, awakened a four-attribute Combat Class Practitioner!

Currently known attributes are lightning, wind, and earth.

What surprised Lu Yuan was that Chu Wushe's last attribute was Blood!

The Blood Attribute is extremely difficult to awaken, with a probability of one in ten thousand under the premise of awakening a Combat Class!

"Didn't expect that, did you? To be honest, I didn't either." Tang Jinghui sat upright.

"Once Blood Attribute Practitioners were discovered in ancient times, they were executed without mercy. After all, this attribute can not only be used to increase strength by killing Demon and Monster Races, but also humans!"

"Perhaps for this reason, Alliance Leader Chu didn't announce Chu Wushe's Blood Attribute, or is he hiding his true strength?"

Tang Jinghui's tone was uncertain.

In short, it's clear that Chu Wushe awakened four attributes: Blood, Lightning, Wind, and Earth.

Chu Wushe applying to Imperial Capital University was a sure thing, because Imperial Capital University is backed by the Thunder Alliance, so Tang Jinghui didn't pay much attention to him.

"Besides him, there are two others worth your attention." Tang Jinghui poured a cup of hot tea and held it in his hands.

"Jiang Tianxia and the Principal's new disciple, Han Junchen!"

Han Junchen?

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow. Jiang Tianxia has SSS-Rank Talent and is a Gold Attribute Combat Class Practitioner.

It made sense for his teacher to tell him to pay attention to her, but Han Junchen neither had Jiang Tianxia's strong talent nor a good Martial Examination ranking.

Why pay attention to him?

"Don't underestimate Han Junchen. From the beginning to the end of the Martial Examination, he consistently ranked 101st nationwide." Tang Jinghui recalled his conversation with the Principal.

"Originally, the Principal wanted me to teach Han Junchen, but I refused him because of you."

"There's such a thing!"

Lu Yuan's mind conjured the image of the crazy, white-haired Han Junchen.

"The first-year students of the other Five Great Top Academies, including the top four and five in the country, you can easily defeat; they are not worth mentioning." Tang Jinghui said indifferently, focusing on Chu Wushe and the other two.

From Tang Jinghui, Lu Yuan learned that this year's Five Great Top Academies Grand Competition would be held at Pengcheng University.

It is divided into four groups: first-year, second-year, third-year, and fourth-year students.

The champion of each group will receive corresponding rewards!

Unlike the Martial Examination, this time it's a student arena battle, and only the champion will receive a reward!

"Many Alliance Leaders will be present then. Remember, win the championship and then directly ask the Principal of Imperial Capital University for the heavenly punishment token!"

Tang Jinghui urged again.

He wanted to perfect the Earth Tier Advanced Spirit Skill: Mirage Puppet before the Grand Competition to increase Lu Yuan's chances of winning the championship!

The Five Great Top Academies Grand Competition is being held at Pengcheng University, so Older Sister will be coming, right?

Lu Yuan thought of Lu Yeli; she is currently a third-year student at Imperial Capital University.

"I've asked Vice Principal Zhan to procure a large amount of materials for making Puppet Corps, striving to expand your Nine Great Marionette Corps to a thousand troops within a month." Tang Jinghui said.

"The next month will be for cultivation, and then making ghost puppet soldiers!"

Lu Yuan cleared his mind, preparing for the upcoming Grand Competition... Imperial Capital University, back mountain.

Bang bang bang—

Purple heavenly lightning fell from the sky!

Chu Wushe's expression was distorted as he endured the intense pain of the heavenly lightning striking him!

A bald, middle-aged strong man stood with his arms crossed, watching Chu Wushe indifferently.

"What, can't you take it anymore?"

The strong man said in a mocking tone.

"The national first place in the martial examination is Lu Yuan, you're second. Lu Yuan broke through to the Xuan Gang Realm, and you're one step slower than him again. Do you enjoy being second for ten thousand years?"

"Reverse psychology won't work on me."

Chu Wushe's pupils flashed with crimson light.

"Lu..."

"Don't mention those two words in front of me!" Chu Wushe roared, veins bulging.

The strong man smiled without speaking, just silently increasing the electrical current.

"Tang Jinghui, let's see whether your disciple Lu Yuan is more formidable, or if Chu Wushe, whom I taught, is superior!"

...Pengcheng University, Independent Villa No. 88.

The white-haired Han Junchen hummed a tune, his expression intoxicated.

"Oh baby, let's sway together, let's get high, okay? Everyone get high~"

Lao Qiyuan, the Principal of Pengcheng University, sitting opposite him: "..."

Bang—

He gave Han Junchen a sharp rap on the head!

"I told you not to play dumb in front of me." Lao Qiyuan said.

Han Junchen, clutching his head, looked aggrieved.

"Break through to the Xuan Gang Realm within a month; only then will you have a chance to defeat Lu Yuan, Chu Wushe, and Jiang Tianxia." Lao Qiyuan's tone was calm.

"If you win the championship, you will choose from Modu University's treasury and ask the Modu University Principal for the high-grade spirit tool, nirvana sword."

Lao Qiyuan looked at Han Junchen.

"Break through to the Xuan Gang Realm within a month? Old geezer, you're making things difficult for a handsome guy like me, who's so stunning he makes heaven and earth weep!" said Han Junchen, who was at Qi Refining Eighth Star.

Bang—

Han Junchen prostrated on the ground, as if a ten-thousand-jin giant object was pressing on his back!

"Cultivate in this state. When you break through to the Xuan Gang Realm, that's when you can leave the villa." Lao Qiyuan got up and left.

"Old geezer, you're imprisoning me, that's illegal!"

"Oh my god, why is the pressure getting stronger and stronger!"

Han Junchen gritted his teeth and took out a demon crystal from his storage ring to cultivate.

He then surprisingly found that the absorption speed was ten times faster than normal, but the pain he endured was indescribable!

..."Cultivate, then make ghost puppet soldiers!"

This sentence appeared in Lu Yuan's mind, and he immediately took out a Divine Power Realm Demon Core.

Under the terrifying absorption speed of his SSS-Rank Talent, it wasn't long before the demon core's glaring light turned faint, and finally, it disintegrated into powder, scattering with the wind.

Crunch crunch—

One by one, brand new Blood Slaughter Soldiers were born, followed by heavenly punishment soldiers, Gold Ge Soldiers... Lu Yuan's life became monotonous and dull, cultivating during the day and making ghost puppet soldiers at night.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed!

The rain poured down, and the sky was filled with lightning and thunder!

Students hurried along, opening umbrellas to avoid the rain, complaining that Pengcheng's weather changed faster than a girlfriend's mood.

Sunny in the morning, then a downpour in the afternoon!

On the Pengcheng University sports field, an army of nine thousand stood in formation, awaiting inspection by their master.

Rainwater streamed down their armor, and the Myriad Bone Soldiers riding skeleton warhorses beat their chests.

Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang bang!

Warhorses neighed, and the Myriad Bone Soldiers looked straight ahead!

The heavenly punishment soldiers clutched their long spears, lightning flickered, and thunder roared in the sky!

Sizzle sizzle—

White smoke billowed as rainwater dripping onto the armor of the World-Burning Soldiers quickly evaporated!

Standing before the seven great calamities, Lu Yuan admired his puppet army. Without exception, all nine thousand ghost puppet soldiers and the seven great calamities were at Xuan Gang Realm Three-Star!

In just half a month, Lu Yuan broke through from the Xuan Gang Realm to Xuan Gang Realm Three-Star, and replenished the number of his Nine Great Marionette Corps to one thousand!

"So cool, just like a grand marshal commanding thousands of troops in ancient times."

Jiang Tianxia looked at Lu Yuan on the sports field.

"Captain, are you sure you can defeat Lu Yuan in the Grand Competition?" said the Modu University student who came with Jiang Tianxia to find Lu Yuan.

At the Qi Refining Realm Peak, he felt that even without the seven great calamities, any random Ghost Puppet Soldier could instantly kill him!

"Let's try, what if we win?" Jiang Tianxia's tone was weak, and she waved at Lu Yuan.

Jiang Tianxia?

Lu Yuan looked at his competitor for the Grand Competition half a month later.

Why wasn't she cultivating properly at Modu University, coming to Pengcheng to find him?
