Han Xing noticed a corner in the deep pit, seemingly with some patterns still covered by the ruins.

"Hmm? There's more?"

He quickly jumped down and tried to move the debris to see what these patterns were.

After equipping the Barbarian Gauntlet, Han Xing's power reached 45 points, plus a 30% increase from the Barbarian Bear Power Secret Elixir, totaling nearly 60 points of power!

His current strength attribute was enough to move these heavy boulders.

One by one, the giant stones were moved aside, and after gritting his teeth and pushing away a stone pillar, a larger puppet pattern emerged beneath Han Xing's feet.

A system prompt appeared.

[You've discovered Kaelon's blueprint, Enhanced Spiritual Puppet (Elite Level), blueprint recorded)]

"What the hell!!!"

A loud shout echoed throughout the entire palace.

Just then, the secret realm time ended.

Han Xing suddenly felt his body become illusory, and the next moment, he was teleported to his territory.

...

Above him, the blue sky appeared once more.

Even so, Han Xing was still unable to recover from the shock for a long time.

This secret realm journey had completely exceeded his expectations.

Not only did he acquire the method to create Spiritual Puppets, but at the very last moment, he actually discovered the method to create Elite Level Spiritual Puppets!

It was truly an incredible surprise!

Suppressing his excitement, Han Xing began to check the Elite Level Spiritual Puppet blueprint.

[Enhanced Spiritual Puppet Blueprint]: According to this blueprint, different levels of Enhanced Spiritual Puppets can be made based on the number of Spirit Cores added during production; 5000 Spirit Cores are required to make Level 1 Spiritual Puppet, 10000 for Level 2, and so on. (Please note, the level of crafted Enhanced Spiritual Puppets cannot exceed the Survivor Level)

[Materials Required for Production]: Enhanced Spiritual Core*1, Special Clay*20000 (can be replaced with Refined Iron), Mithril*5000, Rare Earth*50000, Ether*40000.

[Production Success Rate 5% (boosted by Divine-level Craftsman Talent, success rate now 100%)]

The Elite Level Spiritual Puppets require a multiplier increase in materials, but compared to their powerful attributes, it's all worth it.

He only had one Enhanced Spiritual Core in hand, meaning he could only produce one Elite Puppet.

After using some materials to repair the damaged Spiritual Core, Han Xing eagerly clicked on produce.

[Would you like to produce Enhanced Spiritual Puppet (Elite Level)*1? Production time: 4 hours]

"Yes."

[Producing Enhanced Spiritual Puppet, remaining time 3 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds...]

Han Xing glanced at the construction time of his Basic Lord's Castle, it was less than 9 hours away from being completely built.

At this time, the castle was already more than halfway completed, the bottom two floors had begun to take shape, leaving only the central tower unfinished.

"Great, once I produce a few puppets, the castle will almost be done. By then, my territory will have preliminary defense power."

Han Xing eagerly imagined the completed castle.

Just then, Han Xing received a message from the discussion group, sent by Cheng Jianyong. He clicked to take a look.

As soon as he entered the discussion group, he heard Cheng Jianyong speaking with hidden anger: "Damn it, what bad luck!"

Both Han Xing and Shen Yun sensed his unusual tone and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Jianyong said angrily: "Just ran into two little punks on the way, they came towards me saying their territory was invaded by monsters and they were seriously injured, hoping I could save them."

"I thought since we're all from Blue Star, we are peers, so I felt a bit of sympathy. But to my surprise, after these two punks finished treating their injuries at my area, they eyed my equipment!"

"These two guys suddenly attacked me, almost got me killed!"

Han Xing realized the gravity of the situation and quickly asked: "How are you now? Want us to come over?"

Shen Yun also hurriedly said: "Quick, send coordinates, I'll go deal with those two punks right away!"

Cheng Jianyong spoke with a somewhat heavy tone in the discussion group: "No need to come over, I've already handled it."

Upon hearing this, the two understood what Cheng Jianyong meant by handling.

In such a critical moment, if the sides started fighting, it was hard to stop.

In other words, those two guys with malicious intent were likely already taken out by Cheng Jianyong.

Unlike previous battles with monsters, this time Cheng Jianyong had really killed people.

However, the two didn't say much, because in such a world, without legal constraints, self-preservation is a priority.

Moreover, when someone's trying to kill you, if you don't take them out, then what are you waiting for?

The discussion group atmosphere was somewhat heavy at this point.

Then, Cheng Jianyong sighed again, "Thanks to your help, giving me so much Blue Armor and Skills, I managed to counterattack those two guys, otherwise..."

He spoke earnestly: "Brother Xing, Brother Yun, I realize in this world, we must protect ourselves!"

"If it's someone unfamiliar, definitely don't let them land on your territory!"

The two knew Cheng Jianyong's reminder was very sensible.

After confirming Cheng Jianyong was alright, Han Xing closed the discussion group.

Moments later, he pondered: "Indeed, just as I thought, despite survivors having shared survival challenges, surely there are a few with ulterior motives among them."

"I must quickly enhance my strength, at least set up defense structures for the territory. That way, anyone intending to attack me will think twice about whether they have the ability!"

With this in mind, Han Xing brought Coal Ball to continue leveling up.

With his current strength, along with the transformed Coal Ball, normal Sky Island Monsters pose no threat to him at all.

As long as he doesn't act recklessly by approaching those monster Sky Islands that are a thousand square meters in size, he basically won't encounter enemies stronger than himself.

As afternoon turned into sunset.

Han Xing had just wiped out a group of goblins, and his level increased to 80% of Level 7.

Through a day of exploration, his territory area expanded from over 1,200 square meters to over 2,000 square meters, nearly doubling.

However, Han Xing did not continue to expand the usable area of his territory.

Instead, he folded more than a thousand pieces of territory and placed them under the Sky Island, making it stacked.

His Sky Island Territory area shrank back to a thousand square meters. If he acquires other building blueprints in the future, it can still be transformed into a single layer at any time.

But currently, with no buildings to construct, expanding the territory too wide is not beneficial.

At the same time, a system prompt appeared.

[Enhanced Spiritual Puppet (Elite Level) production is complete.]

The system prompt ended.

Han Xing saw a steel giant about five meters tall suddenly appear at the center of the territory.

This was the Elite-level Spiritual Puppet just created.

It seemed that due to the main material 'Special Magic Clay' being replaced with Refined Iron, the appearance of this Spiritual Puppet became like a steel giant.

In front of his eyes, the attributes of the puppet also appeared.

[Enhanced Spiritual Puppet (One-star Elite Level)]

[Level: lv7]

[Power: 68, Agility: 37, Spirit: 49, Constitution: 71]

[Remaining Spiritual Energy: 0]

[Remaining Defense Value of Spiritual Core: 300]

[Skills: Energy Storage Cannon Attack, Steel Body (Passive Skill, reduces 40% of the damage effect when receiving physical attacks), Earthquake Shock (The Spiritual Puppet leaps high and crashes heavily onto the ground, causing a large ground shock and dealing massive damage to enemies within range).]

Compared to the Elite-level Puppet he challenged in the Secret Realm, this puppet's Agility Attribute was slightly lower, but other attributes had slight improvements.

Han Xing estimated that this was caused by the main material for making the Spiritual Puppet being replaced with Refined Iron.

However, its second skill, Rock Body, turned into Steel Body, with a partial improvement in damage reduction effect.

Just for defense, the attributes of this Spiritual Puppet are qualified.

At this time, this Spiritual Puppet remained motionless, as if it had crashed.

Han Xing knew the reason, it was because the Spiritual Core was out of energy.

So he walked to the side of the Spiritual Puppet and began to replenish its energy, and the system prompt appeared.

[Do you want to insert Spirit Cores into the Enhanced Spiritual Puppet to replenish its Spiritual Energy Value?]

[Note: 100 Spirit Cores can replenish 1 point of Spiritual Energy Value, each 1 point of Spiritual Energy Value allows the Enhanced Spiritual Puppet to enter combat state for 1 hour.]

"Oh? So, 10,000 Spirit Cores can only allow this Spiritual Puppet to fight for 100 hours?"

"This consumption is quite large..."

Han Xing realized that the Spiritual Puppet truly lives up to its name; it needs Spirit Cores for everything.

He was even thinking of creating a puppet army in the future. If every puppet consumed like this, a single battle would require him to consume tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Spirit Cores.

Even with his reserves, it's a bit too much.

But for now, he can still bear the consumption of just a few puppets.

Han Xing waved his hand grandly, directly inserting 5,000 Spirit Cores to replenish its Spiritual Energy Value to 50 points.

The next moment, the Energy Core on the chest of the Spiritual Puppet emitted a dazzling green light, regaining its ability to move.

Inspired, Han Xing suddenly wanted to test the Spiritual Puppet's responsiveness to his commands, so he said, "Advance."

The Spiritual Puppet began to take large strides forward with heavy steps.

Thud! Thud!

The territory trembled constantly, and furniture and sofas shifted a few centimeters.

"Stop!"

The Spiritual Puppet's movements halted instantly.

"Attack mode."

As soon as the words fell, the Spiritual Puppet condensed a terrifying mass of energy in its hand.

One second, two seconds.

The energy mass in the Spiritual Puppet's hand surged more intensely.

And Han Xing also noticed that its Spiritual Energy Value decreased by one point in just a few seconds.

Han Xing quickly had the Spiritual Puppet cease charging energy.

The next moment, a green energy mass emitting a strong aura of destruction blasted into the sky.

Boom!

A dull explosion sounded.
