The Ming Clan's Battle Armor Puppets!

After careful discussion, the eight Evil Lords of the Evil Shadow Continent unanimously agreed that Chu Xinghe was simply too naive this time!

What the hell? You're saying Chu Xinghe could even outmaneuver the Heavenly Dao last time?

The White Spirit Evil Lord declared, "No way!"

Even if Chu Xinghe's calculations are flawless, isn't it a bit too far-fetched that he can even strategize against the Heavenly Dao?

Therefore, the White Spirit Evil Lord believed that it was just a lucky guess by Chu Xinghe...

And this time, do you see Chu Xinghe reveal his true colors?

This round has left our Evil Shadow Continent completely defeated. We'll just have to wait for Gaga to drain the blood of the Vast Heaven Holy Land and that's it!

It must be said that the entire plan for the Evil Shadow Continent was flawless.

In the Vast Heaven Holy Land, after Chu Xinghe ordered all puppets to be used at full capacity, or even beyond, the consumption of the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet was indeed much greater than before.

As the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet slowly consumed its power... something exciting happened to Chu Xinghe.

The Misfortune Compass... began to spin!

And not only does it rotate, it rotates incredibly smoothly!

"Getting better and better... Lai Lai Lai... Getting better and better... Lai Lai Lai Lai..."

In a great mood, Chu Xinghe sang a little tune and even couldn't resist breaking into a tap dance on the spot...

For several days, Chu Xinghe kept a close eye on the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet. Not only did Chu Xinghe keep a close eye on it himself, but he also arranged for Chu Xinghe Huang Ritian and the Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable to keep a close eye on it as well.

Not only did Chu Xinghe make the arrangements, but he also gave Huang Ritian a stern warning.

Tell me, do you Civil Engineering Department students not want a holiday?

Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable, do you want to become a useless reptile?

Does Zhao Zhihui want to go home to visit his family?

So for the sake of our dreams, none of you are allowed to make any weird moves this round!

First, there's Huang Ritian. The tragedy of the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele is still fresh in our minds... So, Junior Brother Huang, you must remember this: never do anything strange.

Don't do things that are too eager for quick success. In life, you should be steady and pragmatic, taking one step at a time.

Any haphazard actions you take will not only fail to bring you a faster holiday, but may also create new workload for you.

So you can't entirely blame Xinghe for the fact that your Civil Engineering Department can't have a holiday. If you had done even a fraction less outrageous things last time at the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele Senior Brother Xinghe, you would have had your annual leave long ago...

And Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable, although you are a senior, Chu Xinghe feels he must say a few words to you.

Look at you, Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable! You unleash all sorts of resource storms at the drop of a hat... Do you even realize that this could easily trigger a chain reaction?

Let's not be greedy and act rashly. This time, we'll play it safe. As long as we steadily lose money for two months, our annual leave will be here, right?

If this continues for the first half of the year, you can all take a break for the second half of next year.

If this department continues to operate at a loss every year, wouldn't you Civil Engineering Department students be able to take holidays however you want?

Also, please inform Ma Liang that the plan to convert the Azure Dragon Divine Hall into a public toilet should be temporarily put on hold...

This time, our Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable has a chance to return to the Azure Dragon Divine Hall!

We can't expect our Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable to come home to a house full of latrines, can we?

Everything was proceeding smoothly, and every day the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet would absorb countless resources from the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Faced with the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet absorbing resources in such a way, the Grand Elder would come every now and then to find out more.

Seeing the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet steadily absorbing resources from the Vast Heaven Holy Land every day, the Grand Elder wasn't too distressed about the resources being absorbed. After all, the resources absorbed by the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet weren't enough to cause the Vast Heaven Holy Land to suffer heavy losses.

So the Grand Elder just watched and didn't interfere at all.

The Grand Elder didn't ask, but the Ming Clan Head, who was staying in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, was truly dumbfounded.

This Taiyin Progenitor Puppet is consuming so many resources in the Vast Heaven Holy Land in a single day... but the Vast Heaven Holy Land seems completely unhurried, what's going on?

The Ming Clan Head comes to observe the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet every day...

But the more he observed the Ming Clan Head, the more confused he became...

When the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet was in the Ming Clan, watching it devour resources, the Ming Clan's Taiyin Progenitor Puppet were constantly frowning, and the Ming Clan Head's hair turned white from worry...

But look at the Vast Heaven Holy Land here...

Despite the drain on the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet, good heavens, from Chu Xinghe down to any of the Civil Engineering Department disciples, everyone was chatting and laughing every day.

If you didn't know better, you'd think the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet was sending resources from the other side to the Vast Heaven Holy Land...

So even the Ming Clan Head was bewildered...

What exactly is Chu Xinghe trying to do?

Didn't they say Chu Xinghe had a plan? Where is this plan?

However, the Ming Clan Head didn't dare to ask too many questions. After all, to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, he was still considered an outsider, right?

The Ming Clan Head remained at the Vast Heaven Holy Land to Watch Quietly as Things Change, but the Ming Clan itself could no longer sit idly by.

Elder Ming Kong of the Ming Clan traveled all the way from the Spirit Beast Continent to the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

The Ming Kong came this time was because of business matters concerning the Ming Clan.

"Clan leader... we've suspended all puppet sales... but the puppets those major clans ordered from us are already past their delivery dates. The delays have been too long, and they're refusing to cooperate, demanding we pay them compensation!"

Ming Kong was right.

The Ming Clan rose to Puppetry Art, and it is no exaggeration to say that almost all the puppets in the Spirit Beast Continent today are products of the Ming Clan.

However, puppets are not only for use by the Ming Clan; the puppets made by the Ming Clan can also be sold to others.

Although others did not possess the Puppetry Art of the Ming Clan, they were unable to fully utilize the puppets' potential.

However, the puppets of the Ming Clan still served a very good purpose.

For example, the most famous puppet of the Ming Clan is their Battle Armor Puppet!

The so-called Battle Armor Puppet is somewhat similar to a defensive magical artifact. When you carry the Battle Armor Puppet you, it can automatically activate its protective function when you encounter danger, helping you to withstand a fatal blow in certain situations.

Don't be fooled by the various magical treasures that the disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land possess, which automatically protect their masters at the slightest provocation, or the various protective magical treasures that some of the prodigies have.

But don't forget, whether they are disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land or those geniuses, they are a minority among minorities.

Under normal circumstances, spiritual treasures are inherently valuable, and among all spiritual treasures, defensive spiritual treasures are even more valuable than offensive spiritual treasures.

Many Rogue Cultivators save up resources for ten years, only to end up buying themselves a decent offensive spiritual treasure.

However, if you want to buy a defensive spirit treasure... it might cost several times or even dozens of times more than an offensive spirit treasure.

Moreover, even if one could afford a defensive spiritual treasure, it would only be a normal defensive spiritual treasure. A defensive spiritual treasure that can automatically activate to protect its owner is absolutely the best of the best... It's simply not something a normal Rogue Cultivator could afford.

Let alone Rogue Cultivators, even the major clans in the Spirit Beast Continent would never equip every disciple with a top-tier, automatically protective spiritual treasure.

Even for the better clans, it's already quite remarkable that they can equip their most outstanding talents with spiritual treasures of this level. If the conditions are worse, even their most outstanding talents might not be able to afford such treasures.

Therefore, in this situation, the Battle Armor Puppet becomes a substitute.

Although the Battle Armor Puppets of the Ming Clan are somewhat inferior in defensive power to normal high-level defensive spiritual treasures, they are still Battle Armor Puppets after all, and are more intelligent than ordinary defensive spiritual treasures.

When it senses that its master is in danger, the Battle Armor Puppet will instantly activate, covering its master with battle armor. Although the defensive power of this battle armor cannot compare with that of a top-tier spiritual treasure, it can still save your life most of the time.

This is why, despite the relatively high price of the Battle Armor Puppet, many people still flock to the Ming Clan to purchase Battle Armor Puppet.

Because either you can't afford top-tier defensive spirit treasures, or even if you could, you don't have the means to buy them.

Not every family is like the Vast Heaven Holy Land, with its treasure vaults overflowing and its disciples weeping with joy. Not every family is like the disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, each possessing a top-tier defensive treasure. For someone of Chu Xinghe's level, even an inconspicuous item he possesses is enough to Rogue Cultivator even the most unassuming cultivators.

Those are things that many exceptional talents might dream of their entire lives.

Therefore, the Battle Armor Puppets of the Ming Clan are very precious, and every year countless clans want to buy Battle Armor Puppet from the Ming Clan.

After all, no one wants their disciple to risk their life out there if they have an extra layer of protection, right...?

Besides the Battle Armor Puppets, the Ming Clan also previously sold various auxiliary puppets.

For example, there are golems that can mine or golems that can do work. Although these golems are certainly not as good as humans in various abilities, don't forget that as long as resources are available, golems can work almost without rest.

What the heck? You're asking why the Civil Engineering Department doesn't buy some of these puppets... The reason is simple... puppets are too inefficient...

Therefore, unless it's an extremely complex matter, many auxiliary puppets can play extraordinary roles.

The main source of resources for the Ming Clan is the sale of various puppets.

However, now that the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet has encountered problems, the Ming Clan first ordered their disciples to stop using the puppet, since the more the puppet is used, the more the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet is consumed.

As for all the puppets that were prepared for sale outside, the Ming Clan also stopped selling them all for other reasons.

After all, every additional puppet sold increases the consumption of the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet once it is used.

The Ming Clan had no choice...

However, the contracts signed with those major clans have long passed their delivery dates. It's not that the Ming Clan can't produce puppets, but for the same reason, once these puppets are delivered and put into use, they will inevitably cause greater consumption to the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet.

Currently, the Taiyin Progenitor Puppet is being consumed by the Vast Heaven Holy Land... If the Ming Clan were to sell off puppets at this time, wouldn't that be tantamount to increasing the Vast Heaven Holy Land's losses?

If such a thing were to happen, wouldn't Chu Xinghe and the Vast Heaven Holy Land think that our Ming Clan is taking advantage of us?

Wouldn't Chu Xinghe devour our Ming Clan?
