Lei Dong originally refined Foundation Establishment level Puppet for himself in order not to be exposed as much as possible. The materials used were very common, and the total value did not exceed one million souls. Gongsun Family could barely afford it.. The quality of its materials cannot be compared with those of the big Lineage disciples. But given this opportunity, Lei Dong naturally would not give up, and took the initiative to apply for a batch of materials and go into retreat to replace the puppet's parts.
This is to prevent Lei Dong from appearing too different. If you have good materials, you don't have to use ordinary materials. It is also to increase the chance of winning. Some people say that if Lei Dong, a strong Nascent Soul level player, competes with a group of the Foundation Establishment Realm people, there is no possibility of failure. But the situation is not that simple. This is a comparison with puppets, not a battle. The battle between the two sides will depend on puppets to decide the outcome. What's more, these younger generation disciples are not simple people. Lineage is older and has been passed down for a long time. Each of them will have unique achievements in Puppet Technique. Having been exposed to Puppet Technique since childhood, each of them has a profound knowledge of Puppet Technique.
And Lei Dong cannot refine a puppet that exceeds his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation control ability, and it is even less possible to secretly help the puppet once or twice. Similarly, he cannot use his spiritual thoughts to invade the puppet to help fight.
You must know that this puppet competition is a competition that Myriad Puppet Sect attaches great importance to, in order to select outstanding disciples to pass on Mechanism Puppet Technique and carry it forward. Therefore, some elders in the sect, Grand Elders, and some distinguished guests will watch the competition in person. Although Lei Dong is conceited, he also knows that trying to play tricks in front of these people is simply courting death.
Therefore, Lei Dong had already made up his mind, and would rather lose the puppet competition than expose his whereabouts. Otherwise, in the puppet competition where there are so many masters, even if he escapes with his life, he will definitely suffer heavy losses. It is of course a dream to have some excellent materials to replace him.
However, as a Nascent Soul Realm monk, Lei Dong cannot be said to have any advantages in playing with these children. After four or five years of painstaking study, Lei Dong's memory and understanding have given him an in-depth understanding of Puppet Technique. It is already very good. The angles and understandings of looking at things are also different at different heights.
There is also the True Yin Fire technique of Lei Dong, which is a level that is difficult for ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm monks to achieve. But in history, it is not that Foundation Establishment Realm monks can reach the level of True Yin Fire, True Yang Fire. As big as the world is, there will always be some. A wonderful and special opportunity. Therefore, Lei Dong regards this as his trump card. Firstly, the quenching level of the puppet refined by this fire will be no less than that refined by Golden Core level Expert. Secondly, Lei Dong has cleverly integrated the technique of True Yin Fire into the puppet's tactics.
I believe that the vast majority of puppets cannot withstand the burning of True Yin Fire level flames. Of course, this is limited to some puppets tempered by not too powerful flames. Otherwise, some puppets also refined with True Yin Fire or True Yang Fire are not too afraid of the burning of True Yin Fire.
It's just that the chance of such a puppet appearing is very small, because the puppet competition limits every part of the puppet and requires the contestants to refine it by themselves, and a dedicated person will judge the remaining breath and identify it. And Foundation Establishment Realm monks, unless they have great opportunities and great luck, are unlikely to have such Golden Core level level flames.
In addition, Lei Dong, in order to increase his chips and determined to win, also prepared several additional means. Lei Dong is extremely confident. If those means are used, the leader of the core disciples will definitely not be able to escape.. However, those methods are too unique. Although they are still methods that do not exceed one's own strength, they are too eye-catching and there is a risk of being discovered. Lei Dong will not use them unless absolutely necessary.
And some of Nascent Soul Cultivator's puppet courses were also an eye-opener for Lei Dong. After listening to his explanations, some problems that were originally puzzling to him when he was thinking independently became quite enlightened. This feeling made Lei Dong feel something else. If the elder Nascent Soul Early Stage on the stage were to fight him, he would definitely be far from his opponent. But in the art of puppetry, he had indeed studied extremely deeply.
Seeing the whole thing at a glance, it can be seen that the accomplishments of the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect on Puppet Technique are really extraordinary. If it were not affected by the lack of various materials and the inability to survive in large numbers of high-level puppets, it is impossible to say that the strength of the Myriad Puppet Sect would be ten times what it is now.
In the next six months, except for some minor disturbances, everything went very smoothly. Lei Dong has also gained great benefits in this six months. At least, Mechanism Puppet Technique's achievements have taken a big step forward. Only In order to get Mechanism Puppet Technique from Spirit Transmutation level, Lei Dong secretly thought that even if it was impossible to refine Spirit Transmutation Puppet by himself, simple repair work should not be a big problem after special research.
During this period, two more disciples at the peak of Qi Refining Stage actually broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and joined the core disciple reserve ranks. Of course, these two were added just before the war. I am afraid they can still only serve as backstops and are included in the ranks of Inner Sect Disciple, so they are not much of a threat.
The puppet competition soon started in a lively celebration, with nearly a thousand and five young disciples of Lineage appearing one after another. The largest number of them were mid-level Qi refining, some were Qi Refining High Stage, and only a few Some people are Foundation Establishment Realm. But this is an extremely normal thing. To cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of thirty, qualifications, understanding, excellent Cultivation Method, and a lot of resources are all indispensable.
Lei Dong and the other twenty-six Foundation Establishment Realm monks, as seed players, do not need to participate in various initial selections. The only thing they have to do is to check their bone age to see if they are over thirty years old. However, Lei Dong naturally has some special means and easily passed this link. As for identity investigation and confirmation, Already after Lineage submitted the entry list, we investigated each one one by one. The identity of Lei Dong was fully prepared and there were no big loopholes. And in the history of the Myriad Puppet Sect, it was like raising an illegitimate child secretly and finally taking it out to the contestants. It happened not once or twice, and there was nothing too special about it.
Lei Dong and others, because of their status as Foundation Establishment Realm's seed players, have a place in the huge puppet competition field and can watch the battle at will. All the participating disciples are evenly divided into twenty-six groups according to their level of cultivation, and each group has a slightly different Less than sixty people. First, among the twenty-six groups, the top ten of each group are determined. The top ten of each group is Inner Sect Disciple from the Myriad Puppet Sect. The eleventh to fortyth place is Outer Sect Disciple. All other rankings will be eliminated directly.
In all previous generations, if you want to be Inner Sect Disciple, generally speaking, Qi Refining High Stage's strength cannot escape, and the core disciples are basically Foundation Establishment Realm Disciple, with only rare exceptions happening. For example, a certain Qi Refining Stage peak person directly breaks into the ranks of core disciples, and is a dark horse to the extreme.
As a participating child of "Gongsun Family", Lei Dong must pay attention to the fact that Gongsun Qing is in the sixteenth group. This group is not much different from other groups, with There are a total of thirteen people with the strength of Qi Refining High Stage, including Gongsun Qing. It can be seen that Gongsun Qing still has great hope of becoming Inner Sect Disciple.
Of course, before Lei Dong appeared, Old Man Gongsun hoped that Gongsun Qing could squeeze into Inner Sect Disciple, but at that time, it was estimated that the chance of success was less than 10%. But because Lei Dong had something to do, he funded some pills for her, and Old Man Gongsun would be better off after getting Lei Dong The queen also worked hard to raise cultivation elixirs and puppet materials for her own granddaughter. Although it is not too exaggerated, the Spirit Stone that Gongsun Qing spent on her brand new pink puppet has already exceeded a million souls. This is something that Gongsun Family could not easily do before Lei Dong came.
As soon as the lottery was over, various battles began quickly. Just as Lei Dong expected, these Qi Refining Stage puppet games made people feel sleepy. Especially after Gongsun Qing, who appeared in the sixth appearance, defeated an intermediate Qi-refining opponent extremely easily, Lei Dong simply closed his eyes and rested.
After seven or eight days of decisive battles, the twenty-six top names in each group were finally determined. As for Gongsun Qing, it was the seventh place in the sixteenth group. The results were neither good nor bad. As expected, Inner Sect Disciple successfully squeezed into the ranks of Inner Sect Disciple. At this moment, Old Man Gongsun burst into tears. The young Shi He also participated in the puppet competition when he was young, but he didn't even win the title of Outer Sect Disciple. Now that his granddaughter has finally made her mark, she has directly snatched the identity of Inner Sect Disciple, Guangzongyaozu, really Guangzongyaozu. As for Lei Dong, no matter how powerful it is, it cannot truly represent Gongsun Family.
After the top spots in each group were determined, it was the turn of the seed players such as Lei Dong to take the stage.
The twenty-six top names were drawn one by one and faced off against the twenty-six seeded players. Lei Dong randomly drew a young girl with good strength. When both parties stood on the field, the young girl summoned a beautiful girl. After showing off the vulgar puppet, she began to flirt with Lei Dong: "Brother Gongsun, I think I am no match for my elder brother, but I don't want to surrender early, so I ask my brother Gongsun to be more merciful."
But before Lei Dong could speak, her puppet started moving like a whirlwind. The distance between the two sides was only about ten feet, but it rushed in front of Lei Dong in just a few breaths. The circular serrated blade whined and sawed towards Lei Dong. Such a sneak attack method was indeed shameless.
But Lei Dong was not moved at all. Although he limited his strength to Foundation Establishment Early Stage, his nervous reaction was still that of the Nascent Soul Realm.
