A Puppet Without Intelligence?

Snow Empress sighed softly, her gaze turning south with a complex expression.

"Lin Ye's potential has exceeded all our expectations. Before long, he will become the most powerful being on the continent. In fact, he is already among the top-ranked experts on the continent."

There is a puppet that is a level 99 Ultimate Douluo, and it is a powerful puppet that only knows how to obey its master's orders.

What's the difference between this and being a level 99 Ultimate Douluo?

Yes, but the difference is minimal.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Female Dormitory.

Ju Zi leaned back in her chair, her eyes filled with shock.

"Level 99 Ultimate Douluo Puppet..."

Ju Zi repeated those words softly, her fingers unconsciously clenching.

She had always thought she had overestimated Lin Ye, but now she realized that she had underestimated him.

She originally thought that Lin Ye was at most a genius with decent talent, and although he had the fortuitous encounter with the Diary, it would still take him a long time to grow into a fully-fledged individual.

But now it seems she was wrong, terribly wrong.

What does it mean to have a level 99 Ultimate Douluo bodyguard by your side?

This means that if Lin Ye wanted to, he could single-handedly wipe out any mid-level sect right now.

Even the Imperial Family of the Sun Moon Empire would have to think twice before trying to harm him.

There are also those three Million-Year Soul Ring and the Void Devouring Flame.

Ju Zi knew very well what terrifying potential these things represented.

In less than ten years, no, in less than five years, Lin Ye will become an invincible figure on the continent.

You can become a god!

"It seems we should move up our plans to get rid of Xu Tianran and head to the Shrek Academy on the Douluo Continent."

Shrek Academy, Inner Court Office.

Zhang Lexuan looked out the window at the night sky, her eyes filled with shock and relief.

"Lin Ye, this..."

Zhang Lexuan smiled gently and shook her head, "This is truly a huge surprise."

She had always known that Lin Ye's Diary rewards were terrifying, but she never imagined they could be this terrifying.

"Soul King about to break through, 110,000-Year Soul Ring, and so many other incredible rewards..."

Zhang Lexuan said softly, "It seems that Shrek Academy is about to produce another legend, and this continent is about to produce another legend."

Tang Ya stood there blankly, staring at the Diary in her mind, her eyes filled with envy and longing.

"That's wonderful..."

Tang Ya murmured to herself, her voice choked with emotion, "If only I had Diary like this... then I could become stronger faster, rebuild the Tang Sect sooner, and avenge my parents..."

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and clenched her fists.

"But it's alright. Lin Ye and I have a pretty good relationship. The stronger he becomes, the more advantageous it will be for me. Once he becomes strong enough, he will definitely help me."

Tang Ya's eyes were filled with determination.

"Starting tomorrow, I'm going to get even closer to Lin Ye!"

Shrek Academy, Female Dormitory.

Ning Tian sat blankly on the bed, his eyes vacant.

"Ten-Thousandfold Critical Hit... it really triggered Ten-Thousandfold Critical Hit..."

Ning Tian's voice trembled slightly. "Three Million-Year Soul Ring... a level 99 Ultimate Douluo Puppet..."

She is the young master of the Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect and has been accustomed to all kinds of rare treasures since childhood.

She had never heard of Million-Year Soul Ring before, and a level 99 Ultimate Douluo was a legendary figure at the pinnacle of the continent.

"Lin Ye... he's no longer a genius..."

Ning Tian slowly stood up, dusted himself off, and looked on with awe. "He is a monster. An unprecedented monster, a legend!"

She took a deep breath, her eyes hardening.

"I must cultivate a good relationship with Lin Ye. As long as we can become allies with Lin Ye, the Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect will be able to stand forever."

Shrek Academy, Inner Court.

Ma Xiaotao slammed her fist into the wall with a loud bang, leaving a deep fist mark on the wall.

"Holy crap! Lin Ye is so lucky!"

Ma Xiaotao's eyes widened, her face filled with shock. "A level 99 Ultimate Douluo Puppet! Three Million-Year Soul Ring! Is this something a human could do?"

She burst into laughter, her voice hearty and unrestrained.

"That's good! The stronger Lin Ye becomes, the more powerful Shrek will be! If anyone from the Sun Moon Empire dares to provoke us again, Lin Ye's puppets will step in and slap them all to death!"

Ma Xiaotao wiped the sweat from her face, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Besides them, the other girls were also in a state of extreme shock.

A few minutes later, Lin Ye took a deep breath, suppressing the surging joy in his heart.

With a simple tap of his mind on the Diary interface, he selected the reward icon for [Battle Puppet].

There was no earth-shattering light, nor any deafening sound.

A faint gray mist appeared out of thin air in front of him, slowly condensing and eventually transforming into an old man dressed in a simple gray robe.

The old man had gray hair, a face covered with deep wrinkles, and a slightly hunched back; he looked like any ordinary elderly person you could see on the street.

But his expression was extremely wooden, and his cloudy eyes were devoid of any light, as empty as a bottomless ancient well.

Aside from its human silhouette, it exuded an aura of deathly stillness, like a corpse that had just crawled out of its grave.

"Bow to me," Lin Ye tentatively began.

As soon as he finished speaking, the gray-robed elder in front of him did not hesitate at all, nor did he make any unnecessary movements. He bowed forward at a perfect ninety-degree angle, performing the most formal junior greeting in the Douluo Continent.

His movements were stiff like a marionette, yet precise beyond compare, with every angle perfectly conforming to the norms of aristocratic etiquette, clearly demonstrating his mastery of all social customs on the continent.

Lin Ye then issued several more instructions:

Take three steps back.

Pick up the water glass on the table.

The old man did as instructed without the slightest hesitation.

Can you talk?

Lin Ye issued another order.

The old man stood still, motionless, offering no response; his empty eyes remained devoid of any emotion.

Lin Ye pursed his lips, somewhat disappointed.

It seems this puppet isn't very intelligent. I was hoping to have a Ultimate Douluo bodyguard who could talk to me, but it turns out to be mute.

But then I thought about it again, the strength of a level 99 Ultimate Douluo is there for all to see, even if he can't speak, that's enough.

"Alright, from now on you'll be called Gray One."

Lin Ye waved his hand. "Now hide beside me and enter standby mode. Remember, no matter when, if anyone tries to attack me, you don't need my permission. Just suppress them directly."

If faced with an insurmountable danger, prioritize my safety; always put my safety first.
