In the Divine Strategy Hall, Zhou Peng and the other ten black-robed disciples complained incessantly under Han Fei's training every day.
Han Fei lived up to his reputation as the strongest puppet master. Every puppet he trained was as powerful as a Sky Origin Stage cultivator.
There were ten mechanical puppets on the square of the Divine Strategy Hall.
These ten mechanical puppets were of different shapes and sizes.
There were spider forms, mantis forms, demon wolf forms, snake forms, and so on.
Each of the mechanical puppets had their own unique skills.
They formed a powerful wall of puppets.
After so many days of training, the eleven of them had not even passed the puppet wall.
According to Han Fei's request, they had to pass the puppet wall and enter the main hall of the Divine Strategy Hall to pass Han Fei's test.
However, Han Fei was obviously making things difficult for them.
Among the eleven black-robed disciples, Zhou Peng had the highest cultivation level.
Zhou Peng was only at the Heavenly Origin Stage.
Among these ten mechanical puppets, any one of them could easily suppress Zhou Peng.
Therefore, it was almost impossible for the eleven of them to pass the puppet wall.
"Sigh! I'm not playing anymore. This is simply bullying. This is not an impossible task at all. "
"That's right. Mount Severing Sky clearly doesn't want us to enter the mountain gate."
"Forget it, forget it. Everyone, go back! I think it's a complete waste of time. "
Many black-robed disciples had already begun to give up.
Because they knew very well that with their strength, it was impossible for them to pass the puppet wall.
Zhou Peng also felt that Han Fei's test was too difficult.
If they wanted to pass the puppet wall, they would have to have the strength of Zhuo Bufan.
However, even if this test was almost impossible, Zhou Peng did not plan to give up.
Because he knew very well that if it was Zhuo Bufan, he would definitely be able to pass this test easily.
"Hey, brother. That Zhuo Bufan who came with you, who is he? Why don't we call him over? Maybe we can pass this test. "
Just as Zhou Peng was adjusting his breathing, a few black-robed disciples walked towards him.
There were three men and two women. They did not know each other, but it was clear that they had gathered together for the same purpose.
They all wanted to seek Zhuo Bufan's help.
After all, Zhuo Bufan was at the Primordial Spirit Realm. If it were Zhuo Bufan, they might have been able to pass this round.
However, Zhou Peng decisively rejected their inquiry.
"I won't ask him to come. Even if he comes, Senior Brother Han won't let him participate in the battle."
"This is a test that belongs to us. Even if we were to borrow external strength to pass it, we wouldn't be acknowledged."
Zhou Peng voiced out his true thoughts.
The others replied one after another.
"We understand what you're trying to say. But as you can see, it's been three days. We've been attacking for three days. Until now, everyone is riddled with injuries. We won't be able to pass."
"That's right, Senior Brother. If it weren't for that Senior Brother's help, we wouldn't have been able to pass this stage."
These people were still hoping for Zhuo Bufan's help.
Zhou Peng was enraged.
"You're all people chosen by Pan Huang. You're all geniuses acknowledged by Lord Pan Huang. Could it be that you want to prove that Pan Huang's judgment is wrong? "
"I'm sorry. If you really think that you can't pass this stage, then withdraw! I believe in myself and Pan Huang's judgment. "
"Since the Heavenly Venerate has acknowledged me, it means that I have the strength to pass this stage."
After Zhou Peng finished speaking, he suddenly stood up again and stepped into the barrier of the square.
Then, Zhou Peng dragged his heavily injured body and charged towards the puppet wall in front of him again.
The one who faced Zhou Peng was a huge spider-shaped mechanical puppet.
The moment it saw Zhou Peng appear, the spider puppet suddenly jumped onto the arena.
Then, countless sharp metal threads were spat out from the mechanical spider's mouth.
These weren't ordinary metal threads, but threads pulled from God-Refined Steel.
God-Refined Steel was a very rare refining metal. It was a precious material that could be used to forge Divine Weapons.
As a puppet master, Zhou Peng naturally knew how rare this God-Refined Steel was.
Zhou Peng had once spent a lot of effort to obtain a fingernail-sized piece of God-Refined Steel.
He had fused the God-Refined Steel into Zhuo Yue's current body.
This was also the reason why Zhuo Yue's body was so hard.
It could be said that God-Refined Steel was one of the hardest materials in this world.
The slightest touch would cause skin and flesh to split open. It could even refine Gods.
The God-Refined Steel spider silk spat out by the mechanical spider covered the entire square.
These steel wires were almost impossible to see with the naked eye. One could only rely on one's perception of elemental energy to discover their existence.
It could be said that this was a test of a person's perception of elemental energy.
Zhou Peng relied on his perception of elemental energy and could only barely discover some spider silk around him.
However, his opponent, the huge mechanical spider puppet, was able to walk on these steel wires with ease.
This was the mechanical puppet that Han Fei had invented. It possessed a unique ability.
"Although the mechanical puppet doesn't have a puppet core, it has an energy core. Should I choose to destroy the energy core? "
"No, this spider puppet can spit out God-Refined Steel as if it were spider silk. This means that its energy core must be in a box made of God-Refined Steel."
"With my current ability, there's no way I can destroy a box made of God-Refined Steel, let alone its energy core."
"Sigh, what should I do?"
Zhou Peng sank into deep thought.
However, his opponent, the spider puppet, didn't give him a chance to think.
The spider puppet had other tricks besides the God-Refined Steel spider silk.
It had another trump card.
It had eight spear-like spider legs that were also made of God-Refined Steel.
Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!
The eight spider spears made ear-piercing sounds as they rubbed against the spider silk.
Suddenly, the spider puppet jumped up. Six of its legs stepped on the invisible spider silk. Then, the other two spider spears pierced towards Zhou Peng's head.
Seeing this, Zhou Peng immediately took two steps back.
"Not good!"
In a moment of desperation, Zhou Peng forgot about the spider silk.
He immediately sensed that there were two intersecting spider silks behind him.
However, in a state of emergency, he could only barely dodge one of them. He barely dodged the other one.
But in the end, it still slipped on his arm.
With this stroke, a layer of his skin was directly scraped off.
The spider silk was incomparably sharp. It could cut through hair and cut through iron like mud.
Fortunately, although Zhou Peng was injured, he managed to dodge the spider puppet's fatal attack.
"No, I have to think of a way to pass this level immediately."
"Since I'm the person chosen by Pan Huang, I should be able to pass this level."
Zhou Peng believed that he could pass Han Fei's level.
He regarded Han Fei as his idol. He was determined to surpass Han Fei.
"Spider puppet, is it a puppet designed with spiders as its prototype?"
"Spiders are the best insect hunters. I'm now the prey in its web."
"Zhou Peng, quickly imagine the flaws of a puppet designed with spiders as its prototype."
Zhou Peng endured the pain in his shoulder and tried his best to urge his brain. He had to rely on his puppet skills to pass this level.
"Right, if a puppet is designed with spiders as its prototype, then it can't be designed as a heavy puppet. It can only be designed as an agile and light puppet body. "
"Spirit-Refining Steel is a very cumbersome item. Its density is extremely high. Even a fist-sized piece of Spirit-Refining Steel can be equivalent to a ton of ordinary steel. "
"Judging from its size, the Spirit-Refining Steel spider silk in its body should have reached about a ton. Judging from the degree to which it stands on the spider silk, its overall weight should be about five tons. "
"Its eight spider legs should be made of three tons of Spirit-Refining Steel. In addition, its energy box should be made of Spirit-Refining Steel. It should take up at least half a ton of weight."
"In other words, the remaining half a ton should be the weight of the spider puppet's body."
"Ordinary steel definitely weighs more than this. In that case, the spider puppet's body might be made of other materials."
"According to its size, what material should be able to do it? Think, Zhou Peng, think. "
Zhou Peng was dodging the spider puppet's attacks in a sorry state.
On the other hand, he was constantly thinking of a strategy to deal with it.
Soon, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but shout.
"It's Mysterious Mulberry Wood, it's Mysterious Mulberry Wood!"
Zhou Peng's voice reached Han Fei's ears in the main hall.
Han Fei, who was drinking tea, couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"This kid is really not bad! I even deliberately concealed it, but I didn't expect you to still find out. "
"You can even recognize Mysterious Mulberry Wood."
Han Fei had long known that Zhou Peng was an expert puppeteer.
Therefore, he was looking forward to Zhou Peng's performance in this round.
Zhou Peng didn't disappoint him. He displayed superb basic knowledge of puppetry.
"Mysterious Mulberry Wood in the Northern Underworld has Blackheart Divine Wood, like duckweed floating on the water. Although it's as light as a feather, it's indestructible. It's only afraid of salt! "
Zhou Peng thought of Mysterious Mulberry Wood and knew how to deal with it.
Mysterious Mulberry Wood wasn't so much a wood, but a special kind of organism.
However, this organism was a kind of fungus. When they accumulated together, they would form Mysterious Mulberry Wood.
They were very light and could float on the water, so they were as light as a feather.
However, they had extremely strong tenacity. Even swords and sabers made of Spirit-Refining Steel wouldn't be easy to cut.
"What a genius, a genius!"
"As expected of the most powerful puppeteer in history. He actually used Mysterious Mulberry Wood as a material to create puppets. This kind of thinking is genius. "
As a puppeteer master, this was the first time Zhou Peng had seen a puppet made of Mysterious Mulberry Wood.
"Fortunately, your Mysterious Mulberry Wood has a fatal weakness."
After Zhou Peng finished speaking, his right hand suddenly swept across a ring on his left hand.
Immediately after, a handful of pure white table salt appeared in his right hand.
Mysterious Mulberry Wood was formed from countless Mysterious Mulberry Mushrooms.
This kind of Mysterious Mulberry Mushroom was very powerful. It was a creature comparable to a water bear. Even in a vacuum, it could survive.
However, it was like a slug, extremely afraid of salt.
Therefore, it was impossible for this kind of creature to survive in the sea. The trees they formed would only grow at the edge of freshwater lakes.
After Zhou Peng learned of this weakness, he took out a handful of Broken Promise from his storage ring and threw it at the spider puppet that was pouncing over.
The pure white Broken Promise emitted a sparkling light in the air and finally hit the spider puppet's body.
In the next second, the spider puppet's body began to rapidly melt.
The joints of the eight spider legs began to break. After all, only the top part of the spider legs was made of Spirit Refining Steel. The rest of the spider legs were made of Mysterious Mulberry Wood.
Moreover, not only the spider legs, but the spider puppet's body was also made of Mysterious Mulberry Wood.
As a result, the spider puppet's body began to collapse and decay.
Soon, the mechanical core inside was revealed.
The entire spider puppet fell to the ground with a clang, leaving only a skeleton and a black box.
The black box was naturally the energy core.
Seeing the spider puppet fall, for a moment, everyone present looked at Zhou Peng with their mouths agape.
"It fell? This guy killed a mechanical marionette? "
Everyone present seemed to still be in disbelief.
"How did he do it? That spider puppet was the most difficult puppet to deal with! "
"Unbelievable. Could it be that what he said was true? We were all chosen by Pan Huang. Do we all have the strength to pass? "
Everyone saw the black box and the spider puppet that had fallen to the ground.
The others present finally gathered their courage to fight again.
"We can do it. Since he can do it, we can do it too."
"Everyone, let's pick up our weapons again and continue fighting. We will definitely be able to pass this stage."
Because Zhou Peng defeated the spider puppet, the morale of the black-clothed disciples soared.
Everyone seemed to see hope at that moment.
After all, they were all chosen by Pan Huang. How could they be defeated so easily?
This time, everyone regained their confidence and charged to the battlefield.
When Han Fei saw this scene, he also walked out of the hall.
"Hahaha. Regained the will to fight? Not bad. "
"Then, the youngsters of the new generation! Continue to work hard! "
After Han Fei finished speaking, the eyes of all the mechanical puppets shone with a scarlet light.
Then, these mechanical puppets charged toward the black-clothed disciples on the battlefield.
"Everyone, be careful. Don't fight these puppets head-on. Every puppet has its own weakness. "
"If you believe me, then listen to my instructions."
Zhou Peng shouted at the remaining black-clothed disciples.
After hearing this, almost everyone agreed without hesitation.
"Senior Brother Zhou, we will have to trouble you. We will listen to your instructions. "
"That's right. Senior Brother Zhou, we believe in you. Let us fight side by side!"
Seeing that everyone had regained their confidence, Zhou Peng nodded happily.
"Thank you for your trust. Then, please don't fight these puppets head-on. Hold them back. I will be responsible for finding their weakness."
"Okay!"
After receiving Zhou Peng's instructions, everyone started to deal with the mechanical puppets.
At this moment, a sweet voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Peng's ear.
"Let me treat you!"
After hearing this, Zhou Peng suddenly turned around and looked at the other party.
Under the black cloak and hat, a beautiful face appeared in front of Zhou Peng.
The woman didn't care about Zhou Peng's gaze. Instead, she started to treat Zhou Peng.
When Zhou Peng saw this, he said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss!"
After hearing this, the woman smiled and said, "You can call me Lingshuang."
"Lingshuang? Thank you, Miss Lingshuang. "
This was the first time Zhou Peng spoke so much to a woman other than Na Na. He seemed a little uncomfortable.
Lingshuang seemed to have noticed that he wasn't good at communicating with others.
"Okay, Senior Brother Zhou, what do you need me to do next?"
"Senior Brother Zhou, Senior Brother Zhou!"
After Lingshuang called out to him repeatedly, Zhou Peng finally came back to his senses.
"Oh, how about this. You and I will deal with the mantis puppet first. You will be in charge of holding it back. I will look for its weakness."
After hearing this, the woman took out a light sword and smiled at him.
"Senior Brother Zhou, let's go!"
After saying this, Lingshuang charged toward the mantis puppet.
