Peculiar Puppet

Half a year later.

Inside the pavilion, the brush that had been sketching finally lowered slowly onto the inkstone.

Spirit paper lay spread across the desk. What should have been flat lines of script and diagrams seemed almost tangible—a lifelike puppet, every pattern upon it displayed with crystal clarity, without a single blind spot.

Chu Mu examined it for a moment before the Spiritual Radiance that had endured for half a year slowly faded.

After half a year of deliberation, this puppet, which had existed only in his conception, had finally had every aspect of its design completed.

Because of this puppet's special purpose, its initial conception and positioning had been entirely unlike every puppet he had previously designed and refined.

The puppets he had designed and refined in the past, as well as the various puppets circulating throughout the Cultivation World, were generally divided into clear categories.

For instance, offensive types, defensive types, auxiliary types... and more unusual kinds, such as Spirit Planting Puppets...

Yet regardless of the type, while a puppet would lean toward a certain function, it would inevitably take other functions somewhat into account as well, to ensure its ability to assist in battle.

His puppet, however, needed no defense, no sufficient sustained offensive capability, no large size, and no capacity for coordinated combat...

Other than short-term explosive offensive power and relatively adequate speed, he had discarded everything else.

With such a design, this puppet was undoubtedly an utterly unconventional creation.

A Fourth Order Puppet whose defensive power was inferior even to that of an ordinary Third Order Puppet.

Its speed was not particularly fast either, merely that of an ordinary Fourth Order Puppet.

If it unleashed its full power, then even with its spirit stone compartment packed full, its sustained combat time would only last
