The Giant Puppet did not excel in divine abilities or spells. Instead, like the legendary Great Wilderness Race, it possessed a powerful physique and strength rivaling that of ferocious beasts.
Its fists, feet, and body were its strongest weapons, and its explosive bursts over short distances were enough to sweep aside all opponents of the same rank, unstoppable wherever it went.
As far as Li Chen currently knew, the power this puppet could unleash in an instant already rivaled that of a Core Formation cultivator. Indeed, no other puppet of the same rank could achieve such strength.
That limitation came from a puppet's size and the limits of its furnace itself.
In other words, this mecha used a "ship-class" furnace, rather than the furnaces commonly found in ordinary small and medium-sized puppets.
To surpass its performance in a small or medium-sized body, a furnace would never suffice. It would require a more advanced power source-a false core!
False cores stood in contrast to true cores. As their name suggested, they were core-shaped magical treasures artificially refined by Puppet Masters, wondrous objects that generated power by imitating Core Formation cultivators and demon cores.
They came with their own folded space and employed both signature powers of Core Formation cultivators: energy materialization and spatial power. Though called "false," they were genuine creations of five-star rank or higher, essential for Core Formation-level combat power.
Among High Rank puppets, there was no shortage of those the size of ordinary humanoids. Only by mastering the art of refining these objects could their makers break free of size restrictions and miniaturize their bodies.
This was entirely different from anything below five-star rank. High Rank battle puppets could be made large or small as desired, their size determined entirely by function and purpose, allowing tremendous freedom in
