This time, the puppet did not leave on its own. Instead, a Puppeteer walked out from behind the passage.
His appearance was rather unusual. An exoskeleton cast from metal covered his entire body, making him look a size larger than an ordinary person. When he walked, a mere thought was enough for the exoskeleton around his limbs to carry out his movements.
His actual body beneath the exoskeleton looked somewhat frail. He was a little bald, and his eyes looked severely nearsighted. What little hair he had was piled over his forehead in side-swept bangs.
The Puppeteer went over to inspect the damaged puppet embedded in the wall and shook his head repeatedly. "I got careless, careless..."
The young woman who had guided them in also entered and asked, "Master Chen, is it serious?"
"Sixty percent of the internal spiritual power core is damaged. It probably needs replacing," the Puppeteer answered.
"Huh? That much damage?" The young woman clicked her tongue in astonishment. When she looked at Yue Wen again, her gaze held even more disbelief. "River City actually has a contestant this strong this year?"
"I was lucky enough to condense my Dharma Form before the competition." Yue Wen chuckled, then looked at the Puppeteer and asked with a slightly nervous expression, "Is the damage to this spiritual power core very serious?"
The Puppeteer seemed to see what he was worried about. "If damage occurs during testing, our Puppet Sect will handle the repairs ourselves, of course. We won't make you pay."
Yue Wen let out a long breath.
Thank goodness.
