Qi Tian stared at the data on the computer, glancing at Uncle Master He.
Could it be that Uncle Master He was going to give up?
That wouldn't be quite right, would it?
Qi Tian narrowed his eyes, temporarily halting the puppet.
But soon, he realized he was worrying unnecessarily.
"Disciples, before you stands a puppet of the Artifact Sect, at the Divine Realm level. This puppet is vastly different from those we usually know. It is thanks to Nephew Master Qi Tian's considerable effort that this puppet is almost indistinguishable from a powerful Divine Realm expert." Uncle Master He addressed all the disciples, showing no intention of retreating. "Now, watch closely and learn."
With that, Uncle Master He drew his sword and charged at the puppet.
Qi Tian immediately released the puppet.
Now that was more like it.
Qi Tian smiled in satisfaction. Since it was Elder He, he wouldn't back down to such an extent and flee from the battlefield.
"Wow!"
The handyman disciple standing beside Qi Tian let out a gasp.
He had truly never witnessed a sparring match between Divine Realm experts of this caliber before. Moreover, it was clear that Elder He was now employing his full power!
"Is that the Ethereal Sword Technique?!"
"That's the Ascending Immortal Step!"
"Wow! So that's how the Big Dipper Seven Stars Fist can be used?"
"As expected of Elder He!"
Countless disciples were meticulously verifying everything they had learned over the years from Elder He.
Besides their exclamations of admiration, they occasionally commented on how powerful the puppet was, managing to remain unharmed under Elder He's assault.
However, only Elder He himself and Qi Tian knew that Elder He was not faring well.
Elder He's brows were tightly furrowed. No matter how he attacked, no matter what moves he used, the puppet would evade his strikes with minimal movement and counterattack in the same instant.
This was not a foe Elder He had encountered before.
Even within the Ethereal Immortal Palace, sparring sessions with his fellow disciples had never put him under such immense pressure.
The puppet was impregnable, neutralizing his every prepared counter with each of its own counterattacks, as if it could read his mind.
Could such a puppet truly exist in this world?
If the Artifact Sect were to mass-produce these puppets, the status of the Ethereal Immortal Palace would decline further.
After all... these puppets could be traded for.
In other words, as long as one could afford the price, their sect or faction could possess countless experts of this caliber in the future, thereby infinitely narrowing the gap between them and top-tier sects like the Ethereal Immortal Palace.
No.
Elder He narrowed his eyes. He needed to destroy this puppet directly.
With this thought, the spiritual energy within him surged.
To destroy this puppet, he would not only need to unleash his full power but also hold nothing back, aiming for a single, decisive blow.
Ordinary techniques would be useless against this puppet, so he decided to return to the basics.
Focusing on speed and strength, the simplest approach was often the most effective.
Simplifying the complex.
He hadn't expected to be this serious in dealing with a mere puppet.
"Look! That stance! That's Elder He's signature sword strike!"
"I know, I know! It's called... the Serious Sword!"
"Yes, yes! That's the one!"
Even the young disciple beside Qi Tian was equally excited.
