"You …"
Looking at the neatly arranged puppets before her, the young lady's teeth clattered.
The fastest she could carve was a day and a night, but how long did the other party take?
Ten breaths?
Eight breaths?
To carve with so many swords simultaneously, how could the other party have such precise control over his carving?
"No, that's not right. My puppet doesn't have any clothes on it, so why is your puppet dressed so neatly?"
Recovering from her shock, the young lady turned to look at the other party doubtfully.
Under normal circumstances, the Nebula Puppet should be naked, but the one before her was dressed neatly. Even its chest was adorned with accessories, and the veins on its clothes looked no different from real silk. This was completely different from the blueprint!
"Oh, you are a lady. It's a little embarrassing for a male puppet to be naked, so I saw that I had some time on my hands earlier, so I made a set of clothes for him."
Zhang Xuan replied with a scholarly smile.
Even though it was a puppet, it was still inappropriate for it to appear naked before a lady. As a civilized man, he wouldn't do such a thing.
"You had some time on your hands earlier? You made a set of clothes for him? "
Jiang Feifei's body stiffened as she walked forward to take a closer look.
The puppet's clothes were a perfect match with its body, making it impossible to tell that it was carved from spare parts. Every single joint was flawless, such that even Spiritual Perception was unable to detect it.
"You … How did you do it?"
The girl's eyes widened, and she felt that her brain couldn't process what was going on.
Her carving speed could be considered one of the top 8-star celestial designers, but even so, it would have taken her an entire day and a night to complete it. Yet, the other party had done it in just a few breaths, and judging from the outer appearance, his carving was even neater than hers.
This was way too formidable!
"I took a look at it, and it's a little troublesome to use a carving knife. So, I decided to use a sword instead … Oh, right, it seems like my swordsmanship isn't too bad either!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
To put it bluntly, there were only three requirements for celestial designers to be able to carve quickly. Firstly, one had to have a good memory. One had to be able to memorize every single detail of a blueprint without making any mistakes.
Possessing the Library of Heaven's Path, Zhang Xuan's memory was limitless.
Secondly, one had to have precise control.
Secondly, the Flowing Water Quintessence possessed unparalleled defense. To be able to keep even the slightest Spiritual Perception at bay, it was a testament to one's control.
Thirdly, long hours of precise work required a strong soul and keen eyesight.
Putting aside his soul energy, his Eye of Insight was also one of the rarest in the world. It was no wonder that he was able to sculpt swiftly.
"There's no need to celebrate too early. Even if the carving is fast, the puppets might not be useful …"
Jiang Feifei harrumphed coldly after hearing his explanation.
Not only did the crafting of puppets have to be fast, more importantly, the structure of the puppets had to be similar to the blueprints. Otherwise, how could a bunch of materials be piled together to make a puppet wield extraordinary strength?
"Don't worry about that. Why don't you suppress your cultivation to Grand Dominion realm pinnacle and fight it once?"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"I'll do it myself?"
Jiang Feifei was stunned.
Are you stupid?
She was a Saint 7-dan Phantasmal Space realm pinnacle expert. Even if she suppressed her cultivation to Saint 6-dan Grand Dominion realm, she would still be an invincible existence. Yet, the puppet that the other party had crafted in just a few seconds was actually a match for her …
What was he thinking?
Noticing Luo Ruoxin's hesitation, Zhang Xuan chuckled and said, "That's right. There's no need to worry. I'll tell him to be careful so that he won't hurt you …"
"You …"
Jiang Feifei nearly exploded on the spot.
What she meant was that the puppet would not be a match for her, but this fellow was actually afraid of hurting her …
How arrogant could he be?
She had thought that the other party was very polite when he made clothes for the puppet, but all of that had vanished into thin air at this moment.
"Very well, I'll suppress my cultivation to give the puppet a try. I won't make things difficult for you. As long as it can withstand three blows from me, you'll be able to clear the trial!"
Jiang Feifei harrumphed coldly.
She had no idea how powerful the puppet was, but it was already not too bad that it could last three breaths against her.
If it could do that, she would not mind acknowledging the other party.
"Please!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. He walked up to the puppet and whispered a few words into its ear.
The puppet nodded before stepping forward to look at Luo Ruoxin with a sharp glint in its eyes.
"Humph!"
Seeing how arrogant Zhang Xuan was, Jiang Feifei harrumphed coldly. She drove her zhenqi and suppressed her cultivation to Grand Dominion realm pinnacle.
Hu!
Just as he finished suppressing his cultivation, he saw a fist whistling through the air toward him.
It was the puppet!
The puppet had already made its move.
"Un!"
Initially, Jiang Feifei had thought nothing of the puppet that the other party had crafted in just a few seconds, but upon seeing the might and speed of the fist, her face warped in astonishment. Despite being a Phantasmal Space realm pinnacle expert, she actually sensed a hint of danger from this move!
She quickly raised her hands to meet the attack head-on.
Peng!
The fist and palm collided, and a crushing force whistled through the air, giving off the feeling of a waterfall crashing down. Jiang Feifei didn't even have time to react before she felt her arms go limp, and she was immediately sent flying backwards like a rubber ball that had suffered a heavy blow!
Pu!
A mouthful of blood spewed from her mouth as her back crashed heavily against the wall.
It was fortunate that she had released her suppressed cultivation at the very last moment, or else the entire wall would have been shattered by the impact.
"You have lost …"
Jiang Feifei looked at the puppet with a pale face, but before she could say a word, the puppet suddenly waved its hand, as if saying 'you are weak and lonely'.
"You … can speak?"
Jiang Feifei widened her eyes in shock.
Even though the Nebula Puppet was powerful, it was still incapable of speech under normal circumstances. Yet, the puppet that the other party had crafted was capable of speaking. What was going on?
There was a huge gap between being able to speak and being unable to speak.
"Ah, I was just assembling it earlier, and I felt that I had some time on my hands, so I enchanted it …"
Zhang Xuan explained.
"…" Jiang Feifei.
It took a long time before her breathing finally calmed down. "In less than ten breaths, not only did you carve the puppet, you even crafted its clothes and enchanted it?"
Even with her speed, she could only carve two parts in ten breaths. Yet, the puppet had tens of thousands of parts in it …
Was there a need to be so overboard?
"Un. I'm the Inceptive Sage of the Spirit Awakener Guild, so I was able to enchant it a little faster …"
Zhang Xuan explained as he looked at Jiang Feifei with a smile. "Does this count as a pass?"
"Of course!"
Jiang Feifei replied bitterly.
She had thought that the puppet would only be able to withstand three blows from her, but who could have thought that it would be unable to withstand even a single blow from the other party?
Just the thought of it left her feeling stifled.
However, it did not last too long before the young man nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to continue up the stairs, he suddenly halted his footsteps and glanced at the puppet before him. With a suppressed voice, he asked in displeasure, "I told you to go easy on her earlier.
"I told you to go easy on me. Why didn't you listen to me?"
"I really went easy on her! How could I have known that she would be so weak that she wouldn't even be able to withstand a single punch from me?"
The puppet cried indignantly.
"…" Jiang Feifei felt frenzied.
