Chapter 1396 Stop, Stop Fighting

“An eighth-class expert with two opened meridians?”

As Sword Fanatic’s words spread, all the brothers were shocked.

Wu Sanqing, who had made the puppet himself, was astonished greatly!

How could he have thought of that?

How could a wooden puppet created by him be so competent?

He had only been here for a short time. Yet, under these brothers’ guidance, he gained much knowledge about Wulin. In particular, he clearly understood the strength levels of martial arts practitioners in Wulin.

It obtained eighth-class strength with two opened meridians. What did that mean?

A person might not reach the realm even after working hard for ten years!

In contrast, making an eighth-class cultivator with two opened meridians only took him a few days.

Wasn’t that too awesome?

At this point…

Wu Sanqing no longer hid behind John Doe. Instead, he came out with a proud face and said, “I heard Brother He has the highest strength among us. An eighth-class expert with one opened meridian?”

“What a pity. The puppet I casually made has eighth-class strength with two opened meridians. It’s just a little puppet. Brother He should defeat it, right?”

Wu Sanqing raised his voice to an even higher pitch. It seemed he deliberately said it to He Gaoming.

When the others heard this…

They couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Even Fang Qiu didn’t expect Wu Sanqing to be a funny fellow!

Sword Fanatic, unrestrained and frank, even roared with laughter.

Here…

He Gaoming had been fighting with the puppet. When ripples of laughter ran around the battlefield, he flushed crimson up to his ears. He always felt everyone was laughing at him.

However, when fighting with this wooden puppet, he clearly felt this wooden puppet’s strength was indeed not weaker than his. It was even better than him.

The most important thing was…

The wooden puppet was not inferior to him in strength and speed. In terms of its physical endurance, how could a wooden puppet fear anything? It was fighting fiercely without giving any thought to its safety. Anyway, it felt no pain at all. It fought violently at close quarters with He Gaoming. When it banged its fist on He Gaoming, he had to retreat in pain.

He Gaoming’s punch could knock it back. However, he couldn’t hurt it!

He Gaoming could do nothing to change this unfair situation.

He had even made up his mind to cripple the wooden puppet. To his dismay, he never succeeded, though he had exhausted all his strength to strike it.

Incredibly, this wooden puppet could complete many complex movements just like humans. It was even capable of deflecting the power of his attacks.

The longer they fought…

The more grieved He Gaoming felt!

“Clap, clap, clap…”

The sounds of fierce fighting could be heard continuously.

These brothers were shocked at first. Gradually, a wry smile crept upon everyone’s face.

In their eyes…

Each of them had been practicing for a long time. From time to time, John Doe would bring them valuable things like suggestions, Heaven Dew, ancient cultivation techniques, super Dan Pellets, and the striking guiding technique.

With so many treasures falling into their hands, they had cultivated for a long time. Yet, they couldn’t even defeat a wooden puppet. How was it possible?

Beyond doubt…

At present, He Gaoming was the best except for John Doe and Sword Fanatic.

If even He Gaoming could not win it…

How could the other brothers be its match?

With this in mind…

Everyone couldn’t help but feel a little bitter.

Meanwhile, they tightly clenched their fists and secretly decided to practice even more assiduously. By working harder, they could quickly improve their strength. At the very least, they had to surpass the wooden puppet.

Otherwise…

They would look pathetically useless.

If their combat effectiveness was lower than that of the wooden puppet, John Doe only needed to tell Wu Sanqing to keep producing wooden puppets. When in trouble, he could command the wooden puppets to take action. At that time, what was the use of them?

It seemed that…

The great strength of the wooden puppets indeed hurt their pride.

Here…

Standing next to Fang Qiu, Sword Fanatic seemed to have seen this too. He looked toward Fang Qiu with a meaningful smile.

Fang Qiu smiled.

In fact…

He had no such intention. His purpose in asking them to fight with the wooden puppet was simple — he just wanted to test the strength of the wooden puppet made by Wu Sanqing.

When Fang Qiu looked back…

Almost all the wooden puppets he encountered in the Zangjiang ruin were ninth-class Martial Superiors. As for the little puppet who knew ancient kung fu, he was as powerful as a Half-step Guru.

Now it seemed…

The puppets made by Wu Sanqing were indeed not as good as those in the Zangjiang relic, but there were only slight differences between them.

After all, the eighth-class Martial Superior with two opened meridians was only a notch from the ninth-class expert!

Nevertheless…

It was a pleasant surprise for Fang Qiu. After all, the wooden puppet could stimulate these brothers to progress faster.

With Crowning Lord’s death…

Fang Qiu had an increasingly stronger feeling that Nirvana Organization possessed mighty strength and power. Except for these gurus he slaughtered in Africo, he slayed a few more when hunting Crowning Lord.

It proved that Nirvana Organization’s main force was nearly all composed of gurus.

Even if they were not authentic but inefficient gurus, they should not be underestimated.

Those inferior to gurus could only run some errands at most.

After all…

Fighting capacity below the Guru Realm was no longer helpful at this level.

Presumably, this was why Nirvana Organization had been trying its best to make so many incapable gurus.

Although Sword Fanatic joined them…

It could be predicted that Crowning Lord’s death would cause a severe disturbance in Nirvana Organization. When one of its three top leaders was killed, how could Nirvana Organization remain indifferent in such a situation? It was impossible for them not to avenge Crowning Lord’s death.

Therefore…

The Wulin would soon fall into chaos.

He had been making an effort to guide and improve these brothers. Since they would fight against Nirvana Organization, these brothers couldn’t hide in this relic forever.

Once Nirvana Organization attacked, these brothers would go out to confront them!

In this case…

The faster these brothers improved their strength, the better.

At present, they had gathered enough cultivation techniques, Dan Pellets, and so on. Better still, Sword Fanatic would live with them and answer their questions anytime. With the wooden puppet, they would be provoked into practicing more actively.

After they pocketed their pride, they would concentrate their efforts on advancing. Fang Qiu believed their cultivation speed would hence be doubled and redoubled.

As long as there was enough time…

He would soon see a group of brand-new experts!

Sword Fanatic also sensed their urgent desire to excel.

At this moment, he understood John Doe’s intention. Immediately, he nodded with a smile but said nothing. He continued watching He Gaoming compete with the wooden puppet.

Then…

The fierce battle made He Gaoming increasingly stressful. In a burst of anger, he directly displayed the ancient swordsmanship he had learned from John Doe!

He tried to defeat the wooden puppet with more tricky moves.

In the beginning…

With the ancient swordsmanship, He Gaoming brandished the sword and slightly suppressed the wooden puppet.

He took this opportunity to pursue and attack fiercely, trying to end this competition.

However, as the battle went on, the wooden puppet began to imitate He Gaoming’s movements. A stream of Qi of Heaven and Earth spurted out of its palm. It then turned into an energy sword. Wielding the sword and following He Gaoming’s movements, it quickly learned ancient swordsmanship. Instead, it regained the upper hand and held back He Gaoming again!

This was sheerly unexpected.

It shocked everyone.

How could this wooden puppet have such a strong learning ability?

Originally…

How could this wooden puppet know the ancient technique? Fang Qiu thought experts in ancient times must have injected the ancient technique into the mysterious jade inside the wooden puppet.

At this time, he realized it was not about the mysterious jade. The truth was that the wooden puppet could imitate and learn.

Therefore…

The little wooden puppet must have learned many ancient techniques from the people who practiced with it!

“Bang!”

Just when everyone was in shock…

There came a sudden sound of vibration.

There…

With one sword strike, the wooden puppet shook off the sword in He Gaoming’s hand. Immediately after that, it punched He Gaoming in the chest. A considerable force burst out and brutally knocked He Gaoming out.

“Stop, stop fighting.”

As soon as he landed, He Gaoming immediately raised his hands and helplessly surrendered. Although he was not injured, he looked particularly speechless. He said with shame and anger, “How could I fight? I couldn’t hurt it at all. It’s made of wood, but I’m a human being of blood and flesh!”

Unlucky for him…

He asked to stop fighting, but the wooden puppet didn’t pause. Instead, it rushed straight at He Gaoming again.

“Stop.”

Fang Qiu opened his mouth.

The wooden puppet didn’t stop either and continued to charge forward.

Fang Qiu moved, rushed straight up, and grabbed the jade stone from the wooden puppet.

Without the support of the jade…

The wooden puppet went limp and fell to the ground right away.

“Not bad.”

Looking at the collapsed wooden puppet, Fang Qiu nodded satisfactorily and thought, “Its performance is not bad. Next, I need to find a way to control the puppet.

“However…

“According to the records in the puppet-making book, the puppet’s maker may not necessarily be its master. There seem to be other tricks. Do I need to inject a trace of internal Qi into the puppet or the jade?”

With this in mind…

Fang Qiu shook his head gently. Quietly, he put away the jade, ready to go back and check it out first.

“Did Brother He lose?”

“What the hell! This puppet is surprisingly powerful, isn’t it?”

All the other brothers were startled.

Unexpectedly, He Gaoming was defeated.

“Haha, I made it. Did you see that? I made it!”

Wu Sanqing grabbed a few brothers next to him, shouting excitedly.

“Alright.”

Fang Qiu waved his hand and said, “This is just the first one. There will be a second one, a third one, and so on. Hundreds and thousands of puppets might be produced. They will be our secret weapons against Nirvana Organization. Thus, I hope you all can keep it a secret.”

All the people here heard it.

Vigorously, they nodded and promised they would never reveal the secret. They couldn’t help praising Wu Sanqing in admiration, saying they would invite him to dinner.

They had never imagined that the puppet made by Wu Sanqing would be so competitive!

“Right.”

He Gaoming stepped forward with a depressed face. Immediately, he changed the topic and asked, “Sword Fanatic, our big brother, is with us. How about we give him some shares?”

“Shares? I want them too!”

Wu Sanqing immediately came up and said with a flattering face.

“Okay.”

With a nod, Fang Qiu said, “You handle this matter.”
