Targeted

Warriors tempered their bodies, while Wizards cultivated their souls. Spiritual power determined the upper limit of spellcasting Transcendents.

Gao Jing had inherited the Mountain Tribe's secret arts long ago. The Mountain Tribe Soul Refining Art he cultivated had reached the realm of the Sixth Mountain, making his soul and will incomparably powerful.

With spiritual power at the Transcendent level bolstering him, unless he happened to overlook it, not even Oscar-winning actors could put on an act before him.

Under his spiritual insight, no lie could escape Gao Jing's perception!

At first, Gao Jing had not harbored any suspicion toward Researcher Ling.

Although he possessed Transcendent power, he still held national pillars like Academician Chen in great respect. That was why he had been willing to give him Star Iron unconditionally for research.

But the moment Researcher Ling spoke, Gao Jing immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Though this fellow spoke with righteous indignation, Gao Jing keenly detected a strange glint hidden in his eyes.

So Gao Jing tested him with a Life Potion, and the result was that the other party immediately exposed his treacherous intentions.

Under such circumstances, Gao Jing acted without hesitation, flinging a "Puppetry Technique" at him.

The Puppetry Technique was a mid-tier spell. It could control the target's soul and will, turning them into a puppet on strings. Their words and actions would no longer be their own, entirely at the caster's command.

In the Great World, the Puppetry Technique was a forbidden spell. Wizards could cultivate it, but they could not use it on people at will.

In truth, the Puppetry Technique had no effect on people with powerful minds. Controlling low-tier Transcendents was not easy either. Furthermore, prolonged control could cause the target's soul to collapse and turn them into an idiot.
