Xue Senâs display of his trump card
caused quite a stir outside the Puppet Tower.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Inside the Eighth Level.
Xue Sen, leveraging his Second Level Minor Achievement Realm of Gentle Breeze Sword Intent and Level 1 Great Success Realm of Fierce Sun Sword Intent, fought fiercely against the puppet within the Eighth Level.
It was clear before.
Xue Sen had no intention of revealing his Dual Martial Intent strategy.
But now,
to prove he was the protagonist and redirect all attention onto himself,
Xue Sen couldnât care less.
Both Martial Intents were unleashed.
In the midst of battle,
Xue Sen had an absolute advantage.
The puppet was being completely overwhelmed by Xue Senâs attacks.
As such, defeating this puppet was only a matter of time.
Bang!
Finally,
after several rounds, Xue Sen struck with his sword, sending the puppet flying away.
A mark melded directly from the puppetâs body into Xue Sen.
The entrance to the Ninth Level also opened.
However,
Xue Sen didnât even glance at the entrance to the Ninth Level.
Obviously,
Xue Sen had no intention of even trying the Ninth Level.
"He passed!"
"Young Master Sen is so amazing!"
Outside the Puppet Tower,
as Xue Sen defeated the Eighth Level puppet and passed,
those Female Disciples cheering for Xue Sen started screaming and rejoicing immediately.
"Eh?"
"Look, how pitiful Chen Qin is!"
As Xue Sen passed the Eighth Level assessment,
the crowdâs gaze then drifted to Qin Chen on the side.
Through the Light Screen,
they could see
that, at that moment, within the Eighth Level, Qin Chen was... constantly fleeing!
Yes,
it seemed as if he was totally no match for the puppet,
always using his movement technique advantage for evasion
with no intention of fighting.
This scene,
in the eyes of the onlookers, was clearly Qin Chen being chased down by the puppet of the Eighth Level.
"My friend, it seems youâve lost."
At this time,
Kong Liangâs voice rang beside Bu Zheng.
A smug smile was on Kong Liangâs face,
as if
he had already seen the scene of Bu Zheng handing over those twenty thousand stone coins to him.
On hearing this, Bu Zhengâs eyebrows twitched.
"Isnât it a bit inappropriate to decide the winner and loser at this time?"
Bu Zheng looked at Kong Liang with a smile on his face.
"Do you really believe this Chen Qin can beat that puppet of the Eighth Level?"
Kong Liang found Bu Zhengâs words somewhat amusing.
"Just watch."
Bu Zheng didnât say much more, instead focusing his gaze on the Light Screen.
Inside the Puppet Tower,
after passing the Eighth Level,
Xue Sen wasnât in a hurry to go down, instead looking on with amusement at Qin Chen, who was continuously fleeing within the Puppet Tower.
Obviously,
he was doing this deliberately.
Because once he left,
those outside wouldnât be able to see inside the Puppet Tower through the Light Screen.
He was intentionally trying to expose Qin Chenâs embarrassing situation to everyone.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Inside the Eighth Level.
From the first exchange with the puppet,
Qin Chen had been utilizing the movement technique advantage of "Big Movement Step" to continuously dodge.
He hadnât taken the initiative to attack.
Swoosh!
Suddenly,
his figure changed.
The expression on Xue Senâs face, who was watching from the side, changed immediately as well.
"Chen Qin, what are you doing?!"
Xue Sen let out a roar.
Immediately after,
he tried to quickly get out of the way.
Although he was just a spectator and the puppet would not attack him,
Qin Chenâs recent change in movement techniques was clearly deliberate, directing the puppetâs attack, aiming it to strike at Xue Sen.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Xue Senâs footsteps retreated in rapid succession.
His expression was extremely unsightly.
He had just been a heartbeat away.
He was struck by the puppet.
"Sorry about that, I didnât see you there!"
At that moment,
just as Xue Sen was feeling annoyed,
Qin Chen apologized with an earnest look on his face.
Upon hearing this, Xue Senâs face turned an ashen hue.
Didnât see him?
Like hell he didnât!
It was clearly intentional.
Whoosh!
The result,
a moment later,
was that just as Xue Sen managed to steady himself,
he saw a figure dart swiftly past him in front of his own eyes.
Xue Sen was immediately shocked.
The very next instant,
Xue Sen could see a powerful figure already striking the spot where he stood.
"Chen Qin!!!"
If he could have dismissed the previous incident as a fluke,
even someone as simple as Xue Sen could understand nowâ
Qin Chen had done it on purpose.
Snap!
This time, Xue Sen wasnât as lucky as before.
Due to inadequate preparation,
he was slapped away by the puppet, sent flying a great distance.
Though he wasnât injured, he certainly looked disheveled.
"Eh? Whatâs going on? Why is this puppet continuously attacking you?"
At that moment,
Qin Chen wore a look of utter confusion.
You donât have a clue?
Hearing Qin Chenâs words,
Xue Sen felt like his lungs were about to explode.
Clang!
The next moment,
a long sword appeared in his hand.
Clearly,
he knew that Qin Chen was doing it on purpose.
But,
the more this was true, the less Xue Sen wanted to leave.
He was determined to broadcast Qin Chenâs embarrassing figure to the crowd through the light screen to soothe his own indignation.
Therefore,
fortunately, Xue Sen entered a battle-ready state, drew his long sword,
and prepared to deal with Qin Chenâs trap.
Outside the Puppet Tower,
everyone exchanged glances, their expressions oddly complex.
"Why does this guy, who clearly has the ability to fight the puppet and even gain the upper hand, keep backing off like this?"
Inside the arena,
Fu Feng furrowed his brow.
Obviously,
he was perplexed.
If he hadnât seen the battle between Qin Chen and Wan Jin,
he might have thought, like everyone else, that Qin Chen was outmatched.
But having witnessed it,
Fu Feng was all too aware of Qin Chenâs true capacity to deal with the puppet of the eighth level.
Thus,
Fu Feng was very confused and didnât understand why Qin Chen kept retreating and constantly maneuvering around the puppet.
Inside the Puppet Tower,
seeing Xue Sen entering a combative state, Qin Chen smiled inwardly.
"Chen Qin, if you canât beat it, you can simply give up. Is there any need to keep dodging around the puppet?"
Xue Sen couldnât resist ridiculing Qin Chen.
Upon hearing this, the corners of Qin Chenâs mouth turned up slightly.
Suddenly,
his eyes lit up like a hungry wolf spotting a chunk of fat meat.
"This chase, itâs time to end!"
Qin Chenâs words fell with force.
"End?"
Xue Sen, hearing Qin Chenâs declaration, found it somewhat amusing.
"I really want to see how you plan to put an end to this chase!"
Xue Sen thought to himself with a sense of anticipation.
Boom!
The result,
the very next moment,
was that when the three conceptions of Heaven and Earth appeared at once, Xue Senâs facial expression froze.
Boom!
Immediately after,
Xue Sen saw the puppet that had been chasing Qin Chen for a while now dealt with by a single stroke from him.
Hum!
A mark flew out directly from the body of the puppet,
and then merged into Qin Chenâs body.
"What?"
Seeing this unfold,
Xue Senâs mouth hung open so wide it looked as if it could fit a duck egg.
