Chapter 200

In the 195th chapter

In the walk yin state, the pair of hands on the coffin looked even clearer. The afterimage and white light were all contained, leaving only trails of hand seals containing divine charm.

Li Zhuiyuan had, of course, been aware of this for a long time, but opening the walk yin to learn was truly too extravagant. It made the already immense pressure even greater.

Fortunately, there was someone who could help him bear the weight forward now.

Li Zhuiyuan half-turned, sweeping a glance with his peripheral vision towards Zhao Yi standing behind him.

On Zhao Yi's forehead, the seam of the life and death door was flowing with dense dead qi.

The so-called seam of the life and death door actually only had 'death', not 'life'. This 'life' entirely depended on you still being alive.

Essentially, it wasn't a good thing. Normal children with this usually couldn't even make it out of the mother's womb. Even if they were lucky enough to come out, they would die young.

That Zhao Yi could live until now was already considered an anomaly.

"Hey, I've come all this way to help you. You should at least concentrate a bit."

Zhao Yi's voice held a hint of a wry smile. He could see that the young man was taking a small break just now.

Li Zhuiyuan withdrew his thoughts and focused on the task at hand.

With Zhao Yi's help, he indeed felt much more relaxed. The things being squeezed out of his white cocoon were also accelerating.

However, even if this would catch up with the progress, one reason was that his early rhythm was slow, and another was that he was originally an imitator; therefore, without any accidents, the masked figure on the opposite side would still form first.

"Crack..."

The white cocoon cracked open, and a new masked figure stood up. This time, it was nine parts similar to Lin Shuyou.

On the other side, White Crane Child temporarily handed his body over to the medium Lin Shuyou, allowing him to use the Gather Yin Array to continue for another round of time. Since the young man hadn't spoken, he didn't dare to directly insert the needle.

The Child now also understood that being summoned down this time, killing enemies was secondary; the main task was to stall for time.

Ever since this medium of his followed the young man on the river walk, he had been sent to one strange place after another and faced one strange scene after another.

These, White Crane Child could now accept. He only begged that it wouldn't be like that initial time, when he was summoned into a pig's head body.

"Bang! Bang! Bang."

"Lin Shuyou" crossed his arms, spread his legs, and stood firm. His body swayed slightly, faintly generating a tiger-crane wind.

Yin Meng, watching the battle from above, couldn't help but say softly, "Why does he look even more imposing than A You?"

Tan Wenbin: "This is normal. Before, when A You used a medium, it was the Child. This time, the puppet on the opposite side uses A You's image."

Yin Meng: "If A You can be like this later, that would be great."

Tan Wenbin: "Who can say for sure about later things? At least now, we have a clear goal, don't we?"

Yin Meng: "Goal?"

Tan Wenbin: "It's to strive so that the secret techniques that we currently have to keep hidden away can be used as common techniques later on.

A You can have the strength he has when using a medium even without using one;

Runsheng can normally exert the power of a fully open qi gate even without a fully open qi gate;

My ghost control technique can be used as simply as walk yin."

Yin Meng was very afraid that Tan Wenbin's words would stop there.

Fortunately, Tan Wenbin only paused for a moment before continuing, "Your poison can be used as you wish."

Yin Meng silently breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Although for her, there was only one scene of words left, none of it was more awkward than having none.

However, precisely because of Tan Wenbin's words, her feeling of a team positioning crisis, which she had always had, was reawakened.

Benign internal competition in a healthy team was necessary. Everyone was striving for their position in the team.

But in terms of seniority, affection, and strength, Yin Meng had no advantage compared to others.

Before, she could still surpass Lin Shuyou, but this kid was taking a different path, and as White Crane Child became more and more sensible, it also indirectly continuously raised his position.

Yin Meng naturally understood that her casual poison mixing behavior was very dangerous, but she couldn't let herself be 'rational' down. Once the upper limit was lowered, her value would also be greatly discounted.

But the problem was, how could poison technique progress be so easy? Even adding that Gu insect could bring some more changes, but ultimately, there was no clear path ahead.

Seeing the low spirits in Yin Meng's eyes, Tan Wenbin opened his mouth to comfort her, saying,

"These two adopted sons of mine are being sent to reincarnation, and I'm not panicking. What are you panicking about?"

Yin Meng smiled awkwardly and said, "We can definitely find a new way."

Tan Wenbin nodded and sighed, "Hope so."

The best way to comfort others was to belittle oneself and sell misery.

Actually, Tan Wenbin had already found a method.

He would absolutely not change his decision to send his two adopted sons to reincarnation, but the experience he had polished day and night with his two adopted sons and his mastered ghost control technique would also absolutely not be wasted.

These could all lay a solid foundation for future bigger challenges.

Runsheng glanced at Tan Wenbin and said, "Photo studio."

Yin Meng was first doubtful, then immediately understood.

In Deng Chen's photo studio, there might still be three spirit beasts. They were too weak before, but after a few days, they should be able to recover well.

Even if Tan Wenbin didn't have his two adopted sons, he could go to the photo studio and take one or two... or even three spirits for himself, seamlessly connecting them, putting old wine in new bottles.

Moreover, those three spirit beasts, whether in terms of quality or potential, were definitely much better than two resentful infants.

Originally, his goal was the clearest.

Tan Wenbin glared at Runsheng: Okay, you just coax yourself.

Yin Meng took a deep breath, trying as much as possible to appear more cheerful and positive. She didn't want her low mood to affect others, and even less did she want to be like a resentful woman, talking in a strange, sarcastic tone.

"I believe I can figure out my path for the next stage."

Runsheng comforted her, saying, "Xiao Yuan will help you think. You don't need to waste effort."

Yin Meng: "..."

Tan Wenbin teased, "Runsheng, if you can't get a wife later, you really can't blame Mountain Grandpa for wasting your bride price."

At this time, "Lin Shuyou" below finished adjusting and once again drew the attention of the crowd above.

Currently, all they could do was watch. If they went down, they would only cause chaos.

"Lin Shuyou" didn't wait, immediately inserted the needle for himself, and his aura rose.

Then, it rushed towards the still unformed "kindred" on the opposite side.

White Crane Child flashed and blocked in the middle, and the two sides collided heavily.

Unlike before, the Child knew there was a gap in strength between himself and the opponent, so he tried his best to avoid hard blows. But this time, he couldn't. He had to protect the pool of things behind him.

After several continuous fights, the Child's body suffered old injuries on top of new ones. With this intensity of fighting, he was also constantly using his own power to mend Lin Shuyou's injuries, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold on long ago.

Other mediums would probably envy Lin Shuyou's current treatment to the point of shedding tears. In the past, yin gods basically didn't cherish the medium's body. As soon as they possessed it, they only cared about fighting fiercely, let alone using their precious power to help the medium nurse his body.

But this kind of support obviously couldn't continue for too long. The Child already showed signs of not being able to support it.

He was very unwilling. He really wanted to be able to insert a symbol needle for himself like this fake product on the opposite side.

Subtly, perhaps because he had been inserted with needles too many times, the Child now had no resistance to the matter of inserting needles.

After reluctantly resisting and blocking for a while longer, he successfully completed the first stage task. Inside the pool behind him, a human figure stood up.

Li Zhuiyuan separated his hands, tearing the white cocoon, revealing a very traditional masked figure. The mask was black.

Time was urgent, and furthermore, Zhao Yi was standing behind him watching, so Li Zhuiyuan didn't pinch the face.

The Child's heart relaxed. The helper finally "hatched"!

He subconsciously retracted his strength, wanting to leave the battle and adjust a bit. That "Lin Shuyou" also didn't continue to entangle him, and turned to sweep towards the masked figure that had just been pinched out.

However, with just one punch, Li Zhuiyuan's masked figure was struck flying out.

The Child's vertical pupils started in surprise. If he hadn't known whose work this masked figure was, he would have probably just cursed directly:

What kind of waste did you pinch out!

Fortunately, it was at least pinched out using five black shadows as raw materials, so the body was sturdy and wasn't scattered by one punch.

Adding to that the Child's timely return to the battle, he continued to forcefully restrain, not letting "Lin Shuyou" conveniently tear the new kindred into eight pieces.

Zhao Yi: "What's the matter?"

He had just made good preparations for boosting his calculation power, but the young man didn't use it.

Li Zhuiyuan: "There's a slight problem with adapting."

The underlying logic of Nuo play puppet technique, the young man had already mastered about seventy to eighty percent, so he successfully pinched out the masked figure.

But in specific use, due to the one in the coffin taking the "why not eat meat gruel" route, the young man had to first sort out his thoughts.

It was normal for a bit of a situation to occur the first time learning and using it, and furthermore, this didn't count as a situation, just a bit slow to react.

Zhao Yi: "How much longer?"

Young Master Zhao could see that his side's official general leader was having a very hard time supporting it.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Soon."

Zhao Yi was already used to the young man's speed.

"That, wait until this matter is over, I can lend you our Zhao family's original formula to look at."

Li Zhuiyuan didn't speak.

Zhao Yi continued, "But after you're done looking and have made good notes, you have to return it. If you borrow and return, it won't be difficult to borrow again."

The Zhao family's original formula was called "Zhao Clan Ask Heart Technique," and it was the same as "Qin Clan Observe Jiao Law" and "Liu Clan Look Qi Formula," belonging to the orthodox foundation of a family. The subsequent derived techniques, body refining techniques, even arrays, and so on, all used this as the underlying logic.

It could be said that mastering a family's original formula and then learning the other methods of this family could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, this thing was extremely precious. Even when it was passed down within the family before, the middle and lower level disciples could only pass it on stage by stage to prevent it from leaking out.

Earlier, when observing Li Zhuiyuan mobilizing the array in the homestay, he easily guided the feng shui weather into the array diagram, which left him with a fresh memory. At that time, he suspected that this shouldn't be something "Liu Clan Look Qi Formula" could do.

Liu family members were good at entering the dao through feng shui, but they were absolutely not able to write freely and easily, like flowing clouds and flowing water, splashing ink on paper and writing.

Now, witnessing Li Zhuiyuan modify the Nuo play puppet technique on the spot, Zhao Yi drew a conclusion: this young man actually had such an ability!

He even suspected that the old lady of the Liu family had seen this point and had therefore taken the young man under her wing, not hesitating to let him shoulder the two family's Dragon King gates.

Any family that encountered such a genius would exceptionally recruit him as a treasure. Even if the Qin and Liu families had not declined, they would inevitably have made the same choice.

This guy, even if he didn't walk the river, just stayed at home reading and revising books his whole life, could upgrade a family sect.

And, with this ability, he could still help his own family sect recruit and absorb vassals, just like the official general leader fighting on the field before. His asking for incense had already burned out, yet he was still in the medium state.

Zhao Yi: "I'm telling you, you absolutely shouldn't be polite with me."

Li Zhuiyuan: "How can I be so ungracious? You're helping me, and I'm still taking your things."

Zhao Yi: "I'm just someone who likes to make friends. Between friends, there's originally mutual support through wealth."

Li Zhuiyuan didn't answer.

Zhao Yi thought of striking while the iron was hot and settling this matter. After all, he was just helping out now and had the advantage: "Wait..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Okay."

In the walk yin state, one could see some pigment stripes floating on the young man's face, very light and not clear, only barely seeing some color, like another way of opening the face.

Zhao Yi wasn't dissatisfied about being interrupted, instead, he asked in surprise and doubt, "What did you add to this puppet technique?"

"《Ground Treasury King Bodhisattva Sutra》."

"And it has a connection with the official general leader?"

"Mhm."

"How does it compare to the official general leader's inheritance?"

"Mine is more complete than his."

Zhao Yi looked at Li Zhuiyuan's hands, which were still making hand seals. This action not only no longer synced with the pair of hands on the coffin but also added many unique things.

This was no longer simply imitating and learning, and it wasn't just learning and modifying at the same time, but learning and modifying while also doing fusion with another set of techniques.

"You're really a... monster."

This was a title Zhao Yi was often given by his family members when he was a child. He was born with severe soft bone disease, and medicine was useless. By the time he was eight years old, he could barely walk with his hands supporting the wall.

His childhood was spent on Old Head Tian's back.

At that time, Old Head Tian would often carry him to find other children in the family to play, but as soon as they saw him, they would scatter, shouting the word "monster."

Children's minds were the purest, not disgust, but jealousy.

Because although Zhao Yi was weak and sickly from a young age and couldn't walk, he was also extremely intelligent. The longer he lived, the higher the family elders' expectations for him.

Young Zhao Yi could only convince himself that perhaps he truly was a monster.

But now, looking at the young man in front of him... Zhao Yi suddenly felt that he was so normal.

He even wanted to ask, "Didn't you have a very unhappy childhood too?"

Li Zhuiyuan reminded him, "You're taking a break."

Zhao Yi: "Mhm."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Concentrate fully, you have to help me share some of the pressure."

The main thing was that the "learning" aspect couldn't fall. It involved at least half of his energy. Later, when he used it alone, he would be able to handle it.

Zhao Yi: "Okay."

Li Zhuiyuan: "After I finish learning the Nuo play puppet technique, I will write it into a book and print a copy for you."

This class was originally taken with Zhao Yi's help, so it was only natural to give him a copy of the class notes.

Zhao Yi: "Thank you, but I won't be able to use it."

Zhao Yi didn't ask which version it was, because they were all the same.

The original version was too extravagant, and he wouldn't learn the new version.

Li Zhuiyuan: "You can learn it."

Zhao Yi: "Thank you for your recognition, I'm very touched."

Then, Zhao Yi added another sentence, "But it's not cost-effective."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I can help you decompose, explain, and lower your learning cost."

Zhao Yi: "That's not what I mean. It's only suitable for you now, being young and unable to practice martial arts, so you can make up for your weaknesses. I'm already an adult."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Learning this, when you open the seam of the life and death door again next time, you won't be powerless."

Zhao Yi's expression changed.

In reality, Zhao Yi's body, standing behind Li Zhuiyuan, trembled slightly.

"Thank you, I'm truly touched this time."

Li Zhuiyuan: "No need to thank me, this is what you deserve."

Zhao Yi looked at the young man in front of him and sighed silently.

The young man wanted to see the "Zhao Clan Ask Heart Technique," but he didn't respond to his hint because he didn't want to help his own family improve their techniques.

Zhao Yi had earlier felt that the person was stingy, of course, this stinginess was also understandable. His own calculations had all bounced out of the river.

But the fact was, the person was truly not stingy. It was just from the perspective of his identity and position. As the inheritor of the Qin and Liu families, he couldn't casually enhance the techniques of Nine River Zhao. After all, although Nine River Zhao wasn't an orthodox Dragon King family, it was also impossible for it to be a vassal to the Qin and Liu families.

The person was truly willing to give him things, to knead and smash the Nuo play puppet technique for him, lower his learning cost, and also help him design good use scenarios.

Later, when he opened the seam of the life and death door again, he could sit in a wheelchair and control puppets.

Honestly, this painting style wasn't bad, it had a different charm.

Ha,

You're also truly willing.

No wonder your subordinates are progressing so fast. Each of them is completely different from how they were when we first met at the stone table. No wonder the atmosphere among your subordinates is so good.

At this moment, a slight regret actually arose in Zhao Yi's heart.

If he had chosen not to light the lamp and walk the river initially, but to join his team, it didn't seem bad either.

Too bad, assumption was just assumption.

Successive generations of river-walking Dragon Kings, it wasn't about killing all competitors. As Liu Yumei said, the Dragon King would defeat all the people of this generation.

Zhao Yi's heart was now convinced. He knew that as long as this young man didn't fall one day, his Dragon King path would be blocked by him and was destined not to succeed.

Fortunately, the ancestral mentality was still there, so he didn't lose heart and self-abandon.

Who could say for sure about things in the world? If you had an accident one day and died young due to heaven's envy, then this Dragon King position would still have to be taken by me. It was impossible to let others take it. They, what qualifications did they have!

Suddenly, the increased calculation power caused pain in Zhao Yi's brow, directly interrupting his sigh and thoughts.

"Ah..."

Zhao Yi let out a cry of pain.

In reality, his face also appeared twisted and ferocious.

Li Zhuiyuan: "I reminded you to increase the amount, why are you still taking a break?"

Zhao Yi immediately adjusted and said, "It's nothing, I'm fine."

After confirming Zhao Yi's state was good, Li Zhuiyuan settled his heart and began to formally launch.

The one inside the coffin was deducing the state of the official general leader using a medium, and he himself had to take another path.

Since you are all unwilling to descend into my body,

Then descend into... my puppet's body!

"Bang!"

White Crane Child was smashed open by one punch, and his body flew backwards.

After landing, he covered his chest and helped his medium treat his injuries, otherwise, after the fight was over, his medium would probably suffer lifelong disability.

Then, he immediately stood up again, he still had to go back and work, protecting that waste masked figure.

But this time, it was different.

He only saw that waste masked figure first spread his legs, then stirred his left palm, clenched his right fist, and next, stamped the ground with one leg!

White Crane Child's vertical pupils were so shocked they almost cracked: Could it be... no... it's impossible...

He immediately turned his head and looked towards the young man sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed on the high platform behind.

No, to be precise, relying on his vertical pupils, he could see the young man standing in the walk yin state just watching the whole field. There was still a person standing behind the young man, and between that person's eyebrows, dense dead qi was continuously surging out.

That person, being able to live at all was already a mistake, a life that should have been hooked down for reincarnation long ago.

"Bang!"

The masked figure stamped his foot for the first time, and the medium failed to ascend successfully.

But White Crane Child, on the other hand, saw a special charm flowing out.

Really, it could be done?

"Lin Shuyou" rushed towards the masked figure.

White Crane Child let out a low roar, blocking forward.

The Child was in a very bad state now, but at this moment, he had a strange excitement!

No matter what, he would fully guard the guy ascending in the pool behind him.

It was good to let some of his colleagues descend into this puppet body, ha ha ha!

Thinking of this, a hint of a ferocious smile actually floated on the Child's originally solemn face.

He immediately restrained this smile that didn't conform to his identity and said in his heart: No, no, I'm striving for time for my colleagues, so we can join hands and slay demons and eliminate evil!

From the bottom of his heart, a strong will of agreement was transmitted.

Very good, his medium also expressed great agreement.

The first time ascending the medium failed, Li Zhuiyuan was not panicked at all, because ascending the medium originally had a certain degree of fault tolerance.

Mediums in reality, before ascending the medium, all had to first open their faces, then brew their emotions, go through a series of processes, just to increase the success rate.

However, this face still had to be pinched a bit.

This energy truly couldn't be saved.

On the masked figure's face, stripes appeared, like covering it with a facial makeup.

The color of the body's clothes was also modified, changed to the color of performance clothes, and the two sides hanging over the shoulders bulged high.

Li Zhuiyuan also conveniently added flip-out fangs above and below for him, making it more realistic.

Most of the time, even when Lin Shuyou opened his face, he wouldn't add these fake teeth, because he was after all a genius of the official general leader lineage, and he didn't need much external help when ascending the medium. Furthermore, wearing these fake teeth... was easy to hurt his teeth.

Zhao Yi: "You can pinch it so finely?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's because the corpse quality inside 'Emerald' is good, very suitable."

Ordinary corpses couldn't be piled up and fused, and it wouldn't be so easy to pinch them up. The conditions in the classroom were truly excellent.

Zhao Yi: "Then when we leave, can we take away a few corpses? Or come again next time when there's an opportunity?"

This was just a joke.

There seemed to be many corpses inside 'Emerald', but they were all consciously isolated. Even that coffin only floated out halfway, and the entrance was still blocked.

Not to mention the difficulty of breaking open 'Emerald', even if it was truly broken open... it wouldn't be as simple as taking a few corpses. A black mass would rush out, wanting to follow you home.

As for coming again next time, you would have to sacrifice so many people first, and this stone door would open again.

Zhao Yi said seriously, "After I go back, I'll find a way to do some research. If there are results, I will share them with you."

Li Zhuiyuan: "There's no need for that."

Zhao Yi "oh" one sound: "Indeed."

Puppet technique, if the materials are too difficult to obtain or too precious, it loses its original value.

Under Li Zhuiyuan's control, the brand new masked figure began to try ascending the medium for the second time.

White Crane Child was hit very hard by "Lin Shuyou", but he didn't feel humiliation or pain now, because he had just glanced at the masked figure's face makeup.

It was Damage General!

He would soon see this colleague with the worst temper and most arrogant personality. The Child was very excited.

If others dared to act like this, the Child would absolutely not believe it, but he believed that the young man could do it, because he had done it on his own body, and not just once.

"Bang!"

The masked figure stamped his foot again, and the next moment, the masked figure's eyes glared, and an evil, fierce, and majestic qi burst forth.

Damage General, descend!

White Crane Child was just kicked flying by "Lin Shuyou", and this time, he had a smile on his face.

You're here, really good.

Damage General didn't even look around at the environment. As soon as he came, he saw "Lin Shuyou" hitting White Crane Child.

Moreover, after White Crane Child was struck flying, "Lin Shuyou" actually took the initiative to rush towards him.

Ha, how unreasonable!

You truly think you can beat that little crane, so you're qualified to challenge me!

"Impudent, evil spirit, accept your fate!"

Damage General waved his arms, then was startled, weapon eh?

Why didn't the medium prepare a weapon for him beforehand this time when he ascended?

Didn't that White Crane have a three-pronged halberd in his hand, how come he didn't?

Earlier, when he first sensed it, he felt that this medium was very strange, seeming to be summoning himself for the first time, but this summoning was very pure and thick. Thinking it was an extremely senior medium, Damage General only chose to accept its ascent on the second try.

But after coming down, he just discovered that it seemed to be different from what he thought. Both were senior mediums, why didn't he even prepare a long spear for him beforehand?

Damage General hesitated a bit, but in the end, he didn't waste his power to use techniques and condense a spear.

He used his bare hands to connect with "Lin Shuyou"'s attack.

In just an instant, Damage General felt something was wrong. Why was the opponent's physical strength so strong?

Moreover, judging from the body shape and movements, how come it was almost the same as White Crane?

There was no time to think more, because Damage General was struck flying.

Zhao Yi: "Doesn't seem durable ah."

Li Zhuiyuan: "He held back his strength."

The descending power wasn't much to begin with, and he deliberately held back his hand when fighting.

But the opposite "Lin Shuyou" was copied after White Crane Child had inserted the symbol needle into his body, and the premise of this was that when White Crane Child descended into Lin Shuyou's body now, he exerted his power according to the maximum power value that Lin Shuyou could currently bear.

The base number was originally large, and it was also enhanced. Damage General also didn't hit seriously, so this was very normal.

After landing, Damage General quickly climbed up. He could distinguish that "Lin Shuyou" was the same as White Crane in many aspects, but it wasn't using a medium, not in a state of a yin god descending and attaching. The one on his side who was struck flying earlier was the true White Crane.

Damage General turned his head to look at White Crane Child, wanting to know something from him.

But White Crane Child didn't speak, just smiled at him stupidly.

The Child wanted to pull himself together and also knew that this environment wasn't suitable for being so relaxed, but there was no way, the Child couldn't help it.

His past blood and tears, this time, finally could be experienced by others.

The Child reached out and pressed on his wound, continuing to not cherish his own power, treating Lin Shuyou's injuries.

He had deliberately shielded Lin Shuyou from being sensed by other official general leaders before, so that A You could only summon him.

Now, Damage General had descended, and some things probably couldn't be hidden.

But he wasn't afraid. No matter what, the past feelings were still there, and that young man had already promised him that he wanted to hang his portrait in the Southern Channel field.

He had already received an invitation to a new temple, just hadn't officially resigned and changed jobs yet.

However, the Child also didn't plan to formally resign. This side's river walk was a great merit, but he was also unwilling to give up his past mosquito legs. The most important thing was, if he resigned, how could he let those past colleagues see his change?

"White Crane!"

Damage General shouted angrily.

White Crane Child continued not to speak.

"Lin Shuyou" approached again.

The internal contradictions of yin gods were naturally less important than external contradictions.

The Child and Damage General tacitly stood up together, facing "Lin Shuyou".

With the two of them joining hands, although they were still at a disadvantage, they at least fought back and forth.

Mainly, Damage General deliberately held back his hand, putting in a bit of effort but not strength.

The Child felt that if Damage General used his full strength, the two of them could suppress "Lin Shuyou".

Damage General thought while fighting, even having spare effort to observe the surrounding environment and the people around him.

But this place was at least one of the Nine Great Secrets, profoundly ingrained. Even when he was a ghost king before, he couldn't have run to this kind of place.

Therefore, after observing a circle, he still couldn't figure out the situation.

Including this White Crane Child, who was unexpectedly fighting so seriously and fiercely. He didn't even have enough with a three-pronged halberd in his hand, he condensed another one. Even more unimaginable was, every time there was a gap in the fight, he would unexpectedly seize the opportunity to treat the injuries of his medium.

White Crane, are you crazy!

Unexpectedly consuming such precious divine soul origin to treat the medium's injuries?

At this moment, Damage General felt like he was in a dream. All of this was so unreal.

How could this White Crane do such a thing?

Mainly, White Crane Child, in the past, had always kept his mouth shut about his medium matter.

After hinting several times and seeing that White Crane still didn't reply, Damage General decided to communicate with his medium to ask.

"Medium."

"Medium."

"Medium!"

Damage General had already shouted three times continuously, but his medium never replied.

You, how dare you!

Damage General was very angry, but soon, he was stunned.

It wasn't that his medium didn't reply, but that he had no medium now!

"Roar!"

White Crane Child let out a roar, striking forcefully at "Lin Shuyou". Although the offensive was resolved by "Lin Shuyou", and he himself was hit again, he didn't feel any pain at all.

He didn't roar, didn't shout, didn't use his power. He truly wanted to help but couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Because the Child perceived that Damage General had discovered the truth.

Descending into a puppet body was simply more absurd, more exaggerated, and more likely to make a god laugh himself to death than when he initially descended into a pig's body!

Although he was summoned down today and the fighting was very chaotic, it was also the happiest and most comfortable battle he had fought in the past six months of being summoned down.

Damage General fell into a state of extreme blankness. He couldn't understand, without a medium, how did he descend?

The body he was controlling now had no life at all. Was he descending into a dead person's body?

No,

It was not a dead person!

If it weren't for increasing the success rate of ascending the medium, Li Zhuiyuan would have originally been too lazy to even pinch a face.

Now, he had pinched out the face makeup and the performance clothes. This was what could be seen, and what couldn't be seen, he naturally saved as much as possible.

Anyway, it was a puppet pinched out for fighting, those life functions and organs... he just didn't pinch them.

Therefore, when Damage General checked his body, he soon discovered that something was wrong.

Not a living person,

Not even a dead person,

This was a... puppet?

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Damage General continuously roared three times. In his anger, he no longer held back his attacks. He and White Crane Child together pressed "Lin Shuyou" and hit him.

But soon, Damage General followed this line of thought and figured out the faction situation.

The pair of hands on the coffin and that "Lin Shuyou" were on one side, and his side was naturally the group of people standing on the high platform behind.

That young man stood in front in the walk yin state, and everyone else showed a posture of respecting him.

So, he was made by that young man, and all of this was the young man's doing?

"Impudent, how dare you profane me!"

Damage General shouted loudly, turned and directly abandoned "Lin Shuyou" and also left White Crane Child behind, turning sharply, and running towards Li Zhuiyuan's side.

Runsheng, Tan Wenbin, and Yin Meng saw this scene, although extremely surprised, they immediately put out a defensive posture.

Zhao Yi: "Isn't he your puppet?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "After the medium successfully ascended, he became detached from my control."

Zhao Yi: "It can be like this? Then later, you can't use the Nuo play puppet technique to make official general leader puppets."

Looking at this situation, it might not be as simple as the puppet not being able to be controlled. This was the puppet directly rebelling!

Li Zhuiyuan: "No, official general leaders or the inheritances from places like Northeast Great Immortal, where gods can be invited, are the most suitable for this puppet technique, because their descent brings power, which can greatly save costs."

Slightly more normal corpses, driven by the Nuo play puppet technique, could preliminarily reach the basic requirements for ascending a medium.

This Damage General was summoned by him using the "classroom environment" and condensing five black shadows into a body. The quality of the body determined the strength that the yin god could exert after descending. Ordinary corpses outside would definitely not have this quality.

Therefore, if there were no special conditions added, when he performed this technique outside later, the "puppet" he summoned would necessarily be much weaker than the genuine article.

To use an inappropriate example, the puppet of White Crane Child that he pinched out would be easily crushed by Lin Shuyou summoning White Crane Child to ascend the medium.

But this didn't matter. After all, no matter how low-grade the counterfeit puppet was, it was still much better than his own small, non-martial body. It did indeed alleviate his biggest weakness now, so that when faced with a sudden close-quarters situation, he wouldn't just be able to stir his two hands.

However, also because of this, Runsheng's puppet, for the time being, really couldn't be made.

This was a problem found after testing, because the body quality of ordinary corpses couldn't compare with Runsheng's, and they simply couldn't bear the use of Runsheng's power.

Unless, he encountered more suitable corpses, like... a fallen death.

A light flowed from Li Zhuiyuan's eyes. He greatly enjoyed this feeling of solving problems and getting answers, it gave him a great sense of achievement.

Damage General came, and he jumped up, wanting to ascend the high platform, find this young man to ask for clarification, and punish him.

Runsheng opened his qi gate and swung his Yellow River shovel, sweeping towards Damage General.

Damage General struck out with one fist and after confronting Runsheng's shovel once, his body flew back, landing.

Anger, at this moment, reached its peak.

"You, when will you be punished!"

Without Damage General's restraint, White Crane Child was again suppressed by "Lin Shuyou", but this suppression would soon be stopped.

Because "Lin Shuyou"'s time had arrived, it stopped attacking and took out the symbol needle again, inserting it into itself.

"Lin Shuyou" was copied, it just didn't have the paralysis and coma aftereffects after using up the symbol needle, and there was no issue of true time.

Anyway, under the control of the one in the coffin, "Lin Shuyou" was fighting a rich war.

However, after it inserted the needle again, some cracks appeared on its body.

There was no problem with time, but this possessed body, even condensed with ten black shadows, couldn't bear the pressure of continuous use of this kind of power.

White Crane Child then got a chance to breathe. While letting the medium come up and use the seal ban symbol to continue for another round with regular methods, he looked towards the furious Damage General under the high platform on the other side.

Make noise, make noise, keep making noise. Making noise in front of that young man, you're just asking for a beating.

Once upon a time, he was also proud, but pride ultimately succumbed to reality.

You'd better keep shouting "impudent" while being even more impudent, thoroughly angering that young man, letting him start changing the official general leader system. Anyway, I'm changing jobs.

Thinking of this, the Child felt that his medium was just as happy.

Lin Shuyou was of course happy to see Brother Xiao Yuan change the official general leader system.

Ever since his relationship with White Crane Child became better and better, he gradually realized that the original yin god adults could provide so much care and protection for the medium, which made him indignant about the situation of his teacher brothers.

Lin Shuyou didn't have Li Zhuiyuan's kind of vision. Li Zhuiyuan was naturally indifferent and rational towards everyone and everything except for those close to him.

Therefore, the young man didn't like the high-and-mighty attitude of the yin god adults. The young man felt that they were just tools in people's hands, and how could tools ride on people's heads?

Although Lin Shuyou's thoughts were liberated, they weren't that far ahead yet. He regarded yin god adults as tools. He only thought that if both sides could cooperate equally, it would be extremely good.

Damage General's momentum began to rise. In his hand, he also condensed a long spear using techniques.

Earlier, when he fought with "Lin Shuyou", he didn't exert so much effort.

Zhao Yi reminded him, "Now it's not about saving costs, even if you save costs again, you can't pinch out an enemy for yourself, right?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Do you have spirits at home?"

Zhao Yi: "That ancestral spirit is relatively well preserved, and additionally, there are some spirits of modern deceased ancestors. Although weak, they can also be sensed."

The former naturally referred to Zhao Wuzang's spirit. The Dragon King was strong in his previous life, and adding a large amount of merit, it was normal to leave behind a surplus spirit to protect his descendants after death. This was also the concretization of ancestral blessings.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Then you can use puppets to summon your ancestors' spirits to possess them later."

Zhao Yi: "Let alone the difficulty of this specific operation, but I feel that if I drag my ancestors' spirits in, my ancestors will be angry, right?"

Li Zhuiyuan felt that there was reason in what he said.

But he soon said again, "Dragging my ancestors' spirits in, will it incur karma backlash?"

Li Zhuiyuan said very calmly, "Just remember to use them up."

Zhao Yi was stunned: "Use them up?"

"Mhm, use them up, and there will be no karma backlash."

This was a result obtained from his own experiments.

Zhao Yi only felt his eye twitch. Were his ancestors consumables? Could he add the words "use them up" in front?

Zhao Yi didn't know that the ancestors of the Qin and Liu families could not only add "use them up" in front, but also "replenish stock".

However, looking at Damage General, who was accumulating power and waiting for a second attack, Zhao Yi still couldn't help but remind him:

"First, don't talk about later. How do you plan to solve this rebellious one in front of you?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Easy to solve."

"Buzz!"

Damage General leaped up again, and the technique long spear in his hand danced out with strong momentum.

Runsheng's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice, "He's much stronger than White Crane Child..."

Tan Wenbin: "Shush, don't let the Child hear."

Runsheng nodded, his qi waves open, guarding strictly.

The leaped Damage General's gaze met Li Zhuiyuan's under walk yin.

Damage General: "Impudent child, receive punishment!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Impudent, go down!"

Damage General stabbed out with his long spear.

Li Zhuiyuan continued to form hand seals with his right hand, and pressed down with his left hand.

"Boom!"

Damage General fell vertically.

He stiffened his neck, disbelievingly looking down at his feet.

He couldn't believe that even if this was a possessed puppet, he had completely controlled it after descending, but why now, the control of this possessed body was handed over again?

A special power was pulling him.

Damage General passively turned his body to face "Lin Shuyou".

He was so angry that his eyes were cracking. Not only could he not go find that young man to settle accounts, but he had to fight for that young man?

Zhao Yi looked at Li Zhuiyuan, who was forming a new hand seal, and asked, "You're fusing in another technique?"

"Mhm."

"What's the name of this technique?"

"No name."

"I can feel the profoundness of this technique. Can it directly control sentient beings?"

"Mhm."

"That... I know I'm a bit greedy and know saying this is wrong, but I still want to..."

A hint of pain flashed across Li Zhuiyuan's face, and he said, "Can't teach you."

"Oh."

Zhao Yi shrugged, not at all disappointed. It was strange if this kind of extremely domineering technique was willing to be taught. Unless he didn't light the lamp, but worshipped him and walked the river together, there was only a slight possibility of being taught.

Seeing the young man refuse so painfully, Zhao Yi's heart was already full and content.

Alas, if this technique wasn't too precious, he actually wanted to teach him.

After having a lot of contact with this guy with the surname Li, he realized that he was truly a good person.

Li Zhuiyuan wanted to teach him because it was in line with maximizing interests, so he was a bit pained when he refused just now.

If Zhao Yi opened his mouth to beg again, Li Zhuiyuan might loosen up.

After being taught the black skin book by Wei Zhengdao, Zhao Yi would definitely be overjoyed at first, and then he could consider whether to plant a peach blossom tree or a plum blossom tree.

Damage General's body was controlled to move forward, raising his long spear, intending to launch an attack on "Lin Shuyou".

As a high and mighty yin god, he couldn't accept suffering such an insult, but he really had no way to resist at present.

However, he could choose to be passive.

If there was no way to oppose you in this possessed body, then I'll just end the medium state and leave!

Damage General thought this and did so.

The light in his eyes was gradually fading, meaning he was leaving.

However, this fading light, when it faded halfway, inexplicably became dense again.

Damage General walked halfway and was pulled back again.

Moreover, when he planned to leave again, he discovered that the door was locked!

Damage General looked at White Crane Child standing in front of him, and then couldn't control this possessed body to slowly lower his head, seeing the symbol needle inserted into his chest by the Child.

"Child, what are you doing!"

White Crane Child turned his body, leaving Damage General with a tragic back holding a three-pronged halberd in his hand, and replied with a bleak sound:

"Eliminating demons and guarding the dao is our responsibility!"

Li Zhuiyuan didn't ask the Child to do this; it was the Child's spontaneous initiative to insert the seal ban symbol needle into Damage General's chest.

If he fell into a pit and others didn't, where would he have fallen in vain?

New strange and fun things should of course be shared among colleagues.

"Child, you..."

The young man's control made Damage General angry, and being betrayed by a colleague from the bottom made it even harder for him to bear.

The Child opened his mouth and said, "It's not comfortable, just bear with it first. After dealing with this evil spirit in front of us, we can leave."

"Ha, do you think I am the same as you, willing to suffer this..."

Li Zhuiyuan's voice came from behind. Although it was sent out under the walk yin state, in the ears of these yin gods, it would only be clearer and brighter.

"Damage General, I will withdraw my control over you. You need to eliminate the evil spirit in front of you. Remember your duty."

"You dream, I..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Otherwise, I will control you and make you kneel and kowtow!"

Damage General: "..."

After hearing this sentence, White Crane Child's vertical pupils blinked and blinked.

He hoped that Damage General would continue to uphold his dignity and refuse!

Damage General was so angry that the red color on his face covered the pigment on his face makeup.

Li Zhuiyuan withdrew his control over the puppet.

Wei Zhengdao's black skin book was originally good at controlling other people's puppets, let alone one he had pinched out himself. Controlling it was even simpler.

But Li Zhuiyuan didn't want to do it this way. One reason was that controlling and fighting consumed more mental energy, and the other reason was that not using the subjective initiative here was also a waste.

Damage General, who had regained his freedom, turned back, glaring angrily at the young man, grinding his teeth and roaring,

"Noisy! Eliminating demons and guarding the dao is our duty!"

Li Zhuiyuan smiled and nodded.

White Crane Child, in addition to being disappointed, was also greatly comforted.

Look, isn't it that he was struggling in front of this young man? When it's your turn, aren't you still acting like a meek pigeon?

Damage General roared and rushed towards "Lin Shuyou", with White Crane Child following closely behind.

This time, Damage General no longer held back his strength. Instead, he vented all his pent-up anger on "Lin Shuyou".

After all, if it weren't for it, he wouldn't have been summoned into this possessed body.

White Crane Child expressed understanding for this, but he was clearer that this colleague was still thinking too simply.

If there's a first time, why wouldn't there be a second time?

The bottom line was broken time and time again just like this.

However, he only needed to protect this medium. He was already like this, and it wouldn't be good for this medium to go and ask other yin gods to possess him.

As for the problem of strength, he didn't feel it was a problem. As long as Lin Shuyou's body quality could be further improved, he could exert more divine power later and it wouldn't delay his progress.

In fact, the one who was most worried that Lin Shuyou would fall behind in the team was White Crane Child.

Moreover, White Crane Child also perceived that when he descended this time, the body quality of this medium was obviously improved by a small margin compared to the last time.

The Child naturally didn't know that Lin Shuyou was following the young man to learn health preservation, but the Child felt that this was a great thing.

Looking at the energetic Damage General fighting, a hint of narrowness flashed in the Child's vertical pupils.

Let's arrange it like this. Later, the medium will be me, and the puppet will be you. We'll have a clear division of labor.

The Child wasn't worried that Damage General would come to him for trouble after he went back, because he absolutely didn't want his encounter today to be known by other colleagues.

Damage General would definitely keep this a secret.

And after tasting the fresh merit of this battle, he would definitely keep it a secret even further and then stealthily come down again.

Every wave of merit under this young man's river walk, even if it was just a part of it, was already enough to make you jealous and give up your pride!

With Damage General's full investment, and adding the Child who was always putting in a hundred and twenty percent effort, "Lin Shuyou" was suppressed, and "Lin Shuyou"'s possessed body also began to crack due to being unable to bear the pressure of continuous short-term secondary needle insertion.

This confrontation was stable.

Nuo play puppet technique, combined with Wei Zhengdao's black skin book technique, Li Zhuiyuan felt that he himself was a bit more like an evil practitioner than an evil practitioner.

The most important thing was that this Nuo play puppet technique could effectively complement Wei Zhengdao's black skin book, making the black skin book's abilities more comprehensive and perfect.

Wei Zhengdao in history was not without the ability to improve it, but there was no need. He didn't walk the river during his underage years.

Li Zhuiyuan raised his head and looked at the emerald inverted cone above.

Zhao Yi also raised his head and looked over together, because changes were occurring above. One of the inverted cones had already been squeezed into twenty black shadows ahead of time.

Twenty black shadows condensed into a body, enough for "Lin Shuyou" to maintain the strength of needle insertion and fight for a very, very long time.

Zhao Yi: "I feel it's not only preparing for the next round ahead of time, but it's also possible to increase the teaching difficulty. When this puppet is destroyed, the one in the coffin will seamlessly connect, making the next one appear, and the speed of breaking the cocoon and forming will also be very fast."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I also feel it will be like this."

Zhao Yi: "Actually, it's really dangerous here. We've already reached this step, but the danger coefficient is still very high."

People who chose to enter the second door must have come for the opportunity to find puppets.

Coming here, they would definitely not push back the coffin lid for the first time. They would definitely wait for it to appear and comprehend it.

Moreover, the difficulty of the initial few rounds was indeed not high, easily making people relax their vigilance.

But when you woke up, the difficulty had already suddenly increased.

Zhao Yi: "The second inverted cone is also beginning to be squeezed in, also twenty black shadows! The third inverted cone is also beginning, this..."

The battle situation below was still ongoing, "Lin Shuyou" was still making a final struggle, but above, there were already a total of six inverted cones, each filled with twenty black shadows, accumulating power and waiting.

This corresponded to the number of people on their side in the field.

Moreover, under two of the inverted cones, white cocoons had already shown signs of falling. Although they wouldn't fall now, it indicated that two masked figures would enter the field in the next round.

Zhao Yi: "This is a greedy trap that breeds killing!"

Li Zhuiyuan nodded.

Things had reached this point, and they were actually somewhat uncontrollable.

Zhao Yi: "Fortunately, there is still a solution now. You can now let your official general leader restrain that fake, and then let your puppet push back the coffin lid.

Damn, if you don't learn fast enough here, you'll really just die!"

Fortunately, someone on his side learned fast enough, and the situation could be easily resolved.

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "I still have a bit that I haven't finished learning."

Zhao Yi said in surprise, "What?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "The one in the coffin left a move, a quick cast. Mastering it will make the speed faster when using this technique later. It's a foreshadowing for the next round."

Zhao Yi: "Are you crazy? Two puppets will fall in the next round, each condensed from twenty black shadows. They will only be stronger than you people!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I want to learn it."

Zhao Yi pursed his lips and asked, "Do you have confidence?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Mhm."

Zhao Yi let out a breath. This "mhm" sound settled his heart.

"Buzz!"

Cracks also appeared on Damage General's body, and they were more severe than "Lin Shuyou"'s cracks.

He was condensed from five black shadows and only used seal ban symbol needles, not break evil symbol needles.

So, from this, it could be seen that Damage General's strength was indeed stronger than White Crane Child's.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't wait for his puppet to completely break. He first unlocked it, letting the puppet catch fire and burn itself, allowing Damage General to leave.

This was also to clear the field in advance for the next round and eliminate possible variables.

At this time, "Lin Shuyou" also couldn't hold on any longer and was about to collapse.

Li Zhuiyuan opened his mouth and said, "Yin Meng!"

Yin Meng didn't react.

Li Zhuiyuan was in the walk yin state, so it was normal for Yin Meng not to hear him.

"Tan Wenbin!"

"Mhm?" Tan Wenbin heard a very faint sound in his ear. He looked towards Brother Xiao Yuan.

"Notify Yin Meng, prepare to go down to the field, and go push back the coffin lid. Remember, don't look at the person lying inside."

"Okay, Brother Xiao Yuan."

Tan Wenbin immediately notified Yin Meng.

Yin Meng first nodded to indicate she understood, then asked another question, "When did Brother Xiao Yuan talk to you?"

Tan Wenbin: "I heard him."

Yin Meng said, not understanding, "Then why didn't Brother Xiao Yuan notify me directly?"

Tan Wenbin comforted her, saying, "It should be because I'm closer."

"Boom!"

"Lin Shuyou"'s body couldn't bear the heavy burden and completely cracked, turning into a piece of flame.

He only saw the pair of hands on the coffin first clench their fists, then continuously pat down twice!

"Pa!" "Pa!"

It was truly seamless. Two pools of white cocoons instantly landed.

Li Zhuiyuan's eyes lit up. He had learned the last ring of this technique!

Yin Meng also jumped down into the field at this time, rushing directly towards that coffin.

But the speed at which these two pools of white cocoons formed this time was very fast, and two tearing sounds were heard.

One inside appeared to be the same "Lin Shuyou", and another inside appeared to be the same Yin Meng.

As if knowing Yin Meng's purpose, both "Lin Shuyou" and "Yin Meng" rushed towards Yin Meng at high speed.

"Child, insert the needle!"

"Understood!"

The Child stabbed the break evil symbol needle into his own body. After his power was enhanced, he immediately blocked the new "Lin Shuyou".

He also wanted to block "Yin Meng", but he failed. That fake "Lin Shuyou" didn't hesitate to use his flesh and blood body to forcibly tie him down. The two of them tore at each other. Even though he was hammered hard several times, he still endured the injuries and didn't let go.

Yin Meng quickly rushed towards the coffin, but the "Yin Meng" behind her had a much better body quality than her and chased faster.

There was no choice. Yin Meng could only turn back first, sprinkle out a string of poison cans, and then whip at it with her demon-driving whip. She only heard a series of bursting sounds, and a five-colored poisonous fog rose.

She didn't have time to supplement too many poisons, and the number wasn't enough, but blocking one person was more than enough.

"Yin Meng" also threw out poison cans and also drew out her demon-driving whip, whipping them open. The poisonous fog blocked Yin Meng's path to the coffin.

But her poison was not five-colored, only black.

At the same time, the pair of hands above the coffin stopped making hand seals, seeming to be stuck.

Zhao Yi: "Eh, what about that pair of hands?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "He couldn't deduce Yin Meng's poison."

Zhao Yi: "So, you were betting on this one?"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head and said, "Not betting."

Zhao Yi: "Not betting?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Because, I also couldn't deduce Yin Meng's poison."

When you yourself don't know exactly when you will be, it's really difficult to copy you.

This was also the reason why Li Zhuiyuan sent Yin Meng down. He didn't know if the one in the coffin would repair and adjust in the next round, but at least in this round, it would adhere to this rule.

Therefore, the fake "Yin Meng" in the field now was just better in body quality and more powerful in leg work than the real Yin Meng, that's all.

Anyway, in this round, Li Zhuiyuan truly didn't make any bets. He was a student, but as long as he truly learned, he could substitute for the teacher. The teacher and student would necessarily encounter the same problems and troubles.

Yin Meng's Gu insect flew out of her hand, and a Gu insect also flew out of the fake "Yin Meng"'s hand.

Yin Meng's Gu insect "told" her that there was poison in the black fog in front, but it wasn't fatal.

The fake "Yin Meng"'s Gu insect was fake and didn't tell her anything.

Then, the two Yin Mengs rushed into the poisonous fog in front together.

Yin Meng felt intense pain on her body and also had a clear feeling of poison entering her body, but she could still bear it. She ultimately rushed out of the poisonous fog.

The fake Yin Meng quickly melted after rushing into the five-colored poisonous fog behind her.

Even if her body quality was several times better, she couldn't bear this kind of poison corrosion.

Yin Meng, with no worries behind her, came to the coffin. She didn't look at the situation inside the coffin, but just stretched out her hands, using all her strength, and pushed the coffin lid back!

That pair of hands retracted when the coffin lid was pushed over.

"Buzz!"

"Lin Shuyou" burned itself, and the puppet dissipated.

The black figures that had originally been absorbed into the remaining emerald inverted cones above were all spit back out.

"Pa!"

The coffin lid was completely closed.

The exam ended!

Sorry for the late update. This chapter is 15,000 words, which counts as making up for the one I owe. I'm still begging for monthly tickets from everyone!
