311: Challenge the Puppet

"Junior Brother, what is your take on this Secret Realm?"

Su Yao and her companion prepared to share and verify the information they had obtained.

"I bought some intelligence from that, what's it called again, Tianji Pavilion, I think. They said there should be quite a few Alchemy Materials in this Secret Realm."

"So, I came."

Little Fatty Bai took out his intelligence report, which was clearly different from what they had purchased, as they had asked about Cultivation resources, while Little Fatty Bai had asked about Alchemy Materials.

Su Yao nodded and picked up the document to flip through it; it was indeed very different from theirs. Theirs marked the locations of Cultivation resources and the types of resources likely to be produced.

His, however, was about Alchemy Materials, detailing basically all the locations where Alchemy Materials could be found.

"This Secret Realm can be considered an ancient one. If nothing unexpected happens, entering it will surely be fraught with danger."

"If the four of us can join forces, that would naturally be excellent."

Blind Swordsman stepped forward, wanting to recruit Little Fatty Bai into their team.

Little Fatty Bai had no intention of refusing, a bright smile appearing on his face.

He immediately nodded, expressing his willingness to team up with them.

The moment the Secret Realm opened, the four of them took flight simultaneously.

This time, their entrance was not very explosive, nor did they actively reveal their identities; they simply queued up to enter the Secret Realm like ordinary Cultivators.

"Where did these four brats come from? With such low Realms, they still have the nerve to squeeze forward. Hurry up and give up your spots to me, or else I'll..."

Hearing these extremely arrogant and highly insulting words, Blind Swordsman and Diamond Stone turned around at the same time.

The Golden Immortal Realm Cultivator, who had just been spewing filth, was suddenly speechless, not daring to continue speaking for a moment.

"What did you just say?"

Diamond Stone stretched his muscles, his face full of anger.

"You... I was wrong. I was just speaking too loudly. I apologize to you. I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Hearing this, Diamond Stone let it go and turned back to continue queuing.

The Golden Immortal Expert's face was very ugly. He had originally come to participate in the Secret Realm, but ended up losing so much face in an instant.

But when he saw that none of the four possessed the Golden Immortal Realm, a malicious thought immediately arose in his heart.

If he could run into the four of them after entering, he would definitely kill them.

In this way, he could obtain the treasures on them.

After all, it was fraught with danger inside, and there was no connection to the outside world. As long as these four died, no one would know he did it. This way, he would not only obtain a large amount of resources but also escape judgment.

Brilliant!

Thinking of this, a bright smile appeared on the Golden Immortal Expert's face.

The grievance he had just suffered vanished in an instant.

So what if he suffered a little grievance and was pointed at and scolded to his face? What of it?

With such a plan, if he could carry it out, all these resources would be his in the future.

Soon, everyone queued up to enter the Secret Realm, using the familiar wormhole to head to another Small World.

After understanding the properties of this wormhole, the four of them knew that no matter what, even if they entered hand in hand, they would be teleported to different places.

"In that case, let's wait until we've entered to find our teammates."

Su Yao was the first to step into the wormhole.

The other three followed immediately. Accompanied by a feeling of the world spinning, when they opened their eyes again, they had arrived inside the Secret Realm.

At this moment, a city appeared in Su Yao's eyes, and it was quite prosperous and bustling.

Su Yao's face showed a look of shock as she followed the queuing commoners into the city.

This city was quite prosperous, and there were many people on the streets selling things.

Children passing by, couples walking together, elderly people in their twilight years.

Everything looked very peaceful and elegant.

Looking at everything she could see before her, Su Yao always felt a sense of trance and extreme unreality.

She even thought she had fallen into an illusion, but after carefully investigating, she found that she hadn't.

All the people coming and going in the streets and alleys were Puppets.

They followed established routes, creating the illusion of a bustling business every single day.

The devices on their bodies could be used to absorb the immortal spirit qi emanating from heaven and earth.

Thereby storing it within their bodies to help them move.

In this way, such a bustling scene was staged in this city every day.

Although there were no living people, everything here was just like the real world.

Su Yao wandered around the city and soon saw an Arena.

This Arena allowed outside Cultivators to challenge it.

As long as you could succeed in the challenge, you could obtain an identical Puppet for whatever combat level of Puppet you defeated.

You could choose to challenge from low to high, and all the Puppets you defeated would become your Puppets. But if you knew your ability was insufficient yet still tried to challenge higher levels and couldn't win, you would undoubtedly die.

Either one dies or becomes scrapped; otherwise, it is impossible to get off the Arena.

Su Yao decisively nodded and chose to start fighting from the initial Heavenly Immortal Realm.

After entering, an opponent had already been arranged on the Arena, and some Puppets were sitting in the surrounding spectator stands, cheering.

Upon seeing both contestants, the referee would immediately strike the gong in his hand. Accompanied by the order, the Puppet fiercely charged toward Su Yao.

Su Yao directly spat out a large mouthful of Black Flame.

Almost instantly, the Puppet's entire body ignited with Black Flames. It was made of relatively hard wood-attribute Materials, but in the end, it was still wood-attribute Materials.

Encountering fire was naturally its nemesis, not to mention this kind of flame with extremely strong adhesion and combustibility.

It ignited all parts of the opponent in almost an instant, and the raging fire instantly spread over its entire body.

Shortly after, the Puppet was burned to ashes.

Su Yao successfully resolved her first opponent. Immediately after, a Puppet came onto the stage and asked if she wanted to continue fighting.

Su Yao decisively chose to continue. Now she had to face a Middle Stage Yuan Immortal opponent.

The previous opponent was also a Middle Stage Heavenly Immortal.

Wearing a heaven-rank red magic artifact, combined with a top-tier Cultivation Technique, Su Yao was basically in an invincible state within the same Realm.

In this way, she easily resolved the opponent before her. At the same time, a Storage Pouch flew toward her, which contained the kind of Puppet she had just defeated.

Su Yao chose to continue challenging a Middle Stage Golden Immortal Puppet and stood on the Arena.

The two sides fought for less than 20 rounds before Su Yao easily resolved the opponent.

Although this Puppet's own Materials were decent, the problem was that it was simply no match for Su Yao.

Humans are much more agile than Puppets, and their combat power is also much stronger than Puppets.

As such, this Puppet had no defensive means and no Cultivation Technique, relying only on its own strength and Materials, barely able to match the combat power of the same Realm solely through its Physical Body.
