Brothers Meet

In the second stage, Xiao Han was sitting on the ground, looking at the pile of rare materials in front of him with a bored expression, while he was thinking of a suitable plan.

Not far away, seven puppets exuding the aura of Half-Saint were standing ready, arranged in a mysterious formation.

The second stage of the assessment has stricter requirements for puppet-making skills compared to the first stage.

The task is to create a puppet within half a month and use it to break the Puppet Array ahead. The solution, of course, is to destroy the seven Half-Saint Puppet into scrap.

Therefore, the puppet created must be at least as strong as Two-Star Dou Sheng. This requirement is a considerable challenge for Xiao Han.

However, what made things easier for him was that the materials provided at the assessment site were of quite good quality, many of which were now extinct on the Fierce Qi Continent, greatly reducing the difficulty of Xiao Han's assessment.

"Alright, let's do it this way!" Xiao Han actually straightened up, the puppet structure in his mind had been perfectly outlined.

Glancing at the materials beside him, Xiao Han's mind raced, and he immediately began to name them. "Skyshine Crystal, Ling Prison Crystal, Ocean Tear, Sharp Fallen Iron..."

Xiao Han picked out a large pile of materials, which were then modified by his Dou Qi and formed into individual parts in his hands. They were then quickly assembled.

Five days later, Xiao Han clapped his hands lightly, looked at the deep blue puppet in front of him, and couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

"Looks like I really am a genius!" Xiao Han exclaimed narcissistically, glancing mockingly at the puppets in the distance.

"Let's call you Puppet Saint Number Two for now!" Looking at the puppet in front of him, Xiao Han, who was terrible at naming things, subconsciously thought of the Three-Star Dou Sheng puppet that he had bought back then. Thus, the name of a Dou Sheng Puppet was hastily born.

A burst of Dou Qi shot into the puppet in front of him, and Xiao Han said with great anticipation, "Let me see just how powerful this Puppet Array really is!"

A light shone in Puppet Saint Number Two's eyes, and a mechanical "click-clack" sound rang out from its body. Then, it stomped its foot on the ground and its figure vanished instantly.

The next moment, the eyes of the puppets in the Puppet Array flashed with light, and an invisible fluctuation appeared in Xiao Han's soul perception, making the latter's eyes light up.

A deafening roar echoed throughout the space as a puppet was instantly slammed into the ground by Puppet Saint Number Two's punch, creating a crater tens of feet deep.

Xiao Han was completely unconcerned about the scene. It was exactly what he expected. He thought, "How much effort can Two-Star Dou Sheng put into fighting a Half-Saint?"

What truly interested Xiao Han wasn't these Half-Saint Puppet, but something else entirely. He wasn't so simplistic as to think that these seven Half-Saint Puppet in the second trial constituted the entirety of the assessment.

If that's the case, Xiao Han can only say that the so-called Ten Thousand Puppets Sect is nothing special.

What followed was a crushing battle, with Puppet Saint Number Two easily shattering all the puppets, demonstrating the vast difference between Dou Sheng and Half-Saint.

However, Xiao Han did not believe that things would end there; on the contrary, the real challenge was just beginning.

As Xiao Han expected, just as Puppet Saint Number Two completely broke up the puppet formation once again, this time, the process did not repeat itself.

Seven puppets surrounded Puppet Saint Number Two Wei Zai in the center, forming a strange formation, with specks of light rising from the core on their chests.

Then they merged into one, and their forms suddenly changed, with countless afterimages appearing instantly, accompanied by a continuous series of collision sounds.

Within ten minutes, dozens of fist and palm marks appeared on the surface of Puppet Saint Number Two, and the internal components could even be seen from the surface.

Xiao Han could see it clearly from the side. In just two or three breaths, the power of several puppets merged into the body of the same puppet through an array, instantly making it as powerful as the Puppet Saint Number Two, and even slightly stronger than the latter.

Moreover, this formation can even spread out the damage, thus greatly reducing the damage caused by the attacks of Puppet Saint Number Two.

But...

Xiao Han smiled. This was still far from enough. He then made a hand seal with his right hand, and a burst of light shone. The surface of Puppet Saint Number Two, which was in the middle of the battle, underwent a huge change in an instant.

Spikes sharp enough to trigger trypophobia pierce through the puppet's surface. The original pair of hand badges have disappeared, replaced by a battle shield on the left arm and a battle sword on the right, while two dark pipes are carried on its shoulders.

"Hehe, this is my first time trying this, so I mustn't disappoint anyone!" Xiao Han chuckled.

Suddenly, two cone-shaped objects shot out of the tube and instantly hit the two puppets that were unable to dodge.

Puppet Saint Number Two casually blocked the attack from his side with his shield. His battle blade slashed down, and with just one strike, a deep gash appeared on the chest of a puppet.

Another fierce battle broke out.

The Creation Saint Relic, inside the main hall.

With the arrival of powerful figures one after another, the atmosphere at this moment became somewhat subtle.

When Xiao Yan and his group arrived, they glanced around and spotted some very familiar symbols.

Correspondingly, Xiao Yan's arrival also attracted the attention of many powerful figures.

"Oh?" Elder Venerable Skyfire of the Langya Pavilion, raised an eyebrow, looked at Xiao Yan, and said with interest, "The Fallen Heart Flame?"

As the previous owner of the Fallen Heart Flame, Venerable Skyfire Fallen Heart Flame was quite familiar with its aura, and he sensed it the moment Xiao Yan appeared.

However, he had no intention of reclaiming the Exotic Fire. Not to mention that his strength had already recovered to its peak and even improved, he didn't need the Fallen Heart Flame's support at all.

Furthermore, Xiao Yan subtly Venerable Skyfire a dangerous aura, and he was unwilling to needlessly antagonize a genius with immense potential.

However, soon after, Venerable Skyfire caught a glimpse of the next group of people approaching, and he could no longer hide the amusement in his eyes.

The Langya Pavilion disciples behind him also spotted the target and stepped forward, saying:

"Elder, should we attack those Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan members now?"

Venerable Skyfire shook his head. "The final battle has not yet begun; that will be the truly opportune time."

The disciple nodded. "Yes."

He immediately retreated to the back.

"Five Star Dou Zun? Heh!" Venerable Skyfire noticed Huang Xuan's cultivation level and chuckled disdainfully. Although he didn't know why the Pavilion Master wanted to kill the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, this was a trivial matter and didn't need to be bothered with.

Meanwhile, Huang Xuan suddenly shivered, feeling an invisible malice surrounding him.

"Damn it, this time you won't escape!" At that moment, a hoarse voice came from the corridor outside.

"Hehehe~ You bunch of ugly ducklings and rascals think you can catch us!" A playful and cute voice rang out.

"Alright, girl, just say less!" came another slightly helpless voice.

The people on the field were stunned for a moment, then revealed expressions of anticipation for a good show. There was still some excitement to be had!

Only Xiao Yan frowned; why did that voice sound so familiar?

Just as everyone was wondering, a man and a woman appeared before them. Although their breathing was slightly unsteady, they seemed extremely relaxed and showed no signs of being chased.

Xiao Yan's eyes widened in surprise, then his expression lit up with delight. "Big Brother!"

Hearing the shout, Xiao Ding looked up in surprise, followed the sound, and exclaimed with equal delight, "Little Yanzi?!"

Wow!

The others were even more excited. Could this be another family reunion scene?

However, the next moment, another group of people burst in, their leader still cursing. "You two little brats, don't let me catch you, or else..."

Upon suddenly noticing the crowd staring at him, the speaker immediately stopped talking.

However, when his gaze fell upon those two familiar figures, the anger that had been suppressed in his heart for so long suddenly erupted.

"Today, I'll see how you plan to escape!"

"Let's see who dares to touch them!" another chilling voice rang out.
