Zhao Kuo's Challenge
Chapter 606: Challenge
"Let me challenge it!"
Suddenly, a peak Primal Core martial artist gritted his teeth and said, "I want to see how powerful a late-stage Yin-Yang realm puppet is."
"You want to challenge it?" The old man in black raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "10,000 supreme-grade Essence Crystals. The registration fee is 10,000 supreme-grade Essence Crystals."
"There's a registration fee?"
The peak Primal Core martial artist was dumbfounded. He had only wanted to give it a try, but now that there was a registration fee of 10,000 supreme-grade Essence Crystals, he gave up immediately.
Only a fool would challenge it with 10,000 supreme-grade Essence Crystals.
"Haha, of course there's a registration fee." The old man in black smiled matter-of-factly. "Every time the puppet is activated, a large number of Essence Crystals will be consumed. World Pavilion cannot make a loss."
"Let me give it a try."
Right then, a half-step Yin-Yang realm martial artist took a step forward and threw a storage bag to the old man in black.
"There are 10,000 supreme-grade Essence Crystals in there. I want to challenge four puppets."
The old man in black kept the storage bag casually and said, "You're a half-step Yin-Yang realm martial artist. You meet the requirements."
Swoosh!
The next moment, the half-step Yin-Yang realm martial artist leaped from the ground and dashed towards one of the puppets.
The half-step Yin-Yang realm martial artist's goal was clear. He wanted to test the strength of a puppet first, then see if he could last for ten minutes.
Smack!
However, a second later, a crisp sound was heard. Then, the Half-step Yin-Yang Realm martial artist fell backward like a kite with a broken string.
Bam!
Before long, the half-step Yin-Yang realm martial artist landed heavily on the ground, and his breathing became weaker.
The sudden change caused the surrounding martial artists to be a little dumbfounded.
Were the puppets that powerful?
The half-step Yin-Yang realm martial artist only lasted for a second before he was defeated.
Who could last for ten minutes like that?
"I didn't expect them to be puppets!"
Compared to the crowd's shock, Ning Yue was much more shocked.
In his previous life, when Ning Yue was in the Blessed Realm, he had fought against a puppet of the same rank. Unfortunately, Ning Yue had lost without a doubt.
Puppets had a very big characteristic. As long as there were enough Yuan crystals inside, they could fight for a long time.
Unless an extremely strong force was used to completely shatter it!
However, only a Manifestation Realm martial artist could destroy a puppet at the peak of the later stage of Yin-Yang Realm.
"If it were me, I'm afraid I could only last three minutes against these four puppets." Ning Yue secretly compared his strength with that half-step Yin-Yang Realm martial artist and realized that he wouldn't fare any better if he fought with the puppet.
To be able to last for three minutes, one would have to use all of their trump cards.
"Haha, Ning Yue, do you want to give it a try?"
Just as Ning Yue was deep in thought, a faint laugh rang in his ears.
"You are a distinguished guest of the World Pavilion. If you are willing to take part in the challenge, I can waive your registration fee of ten thousand yuan."
"You want me to take part in the challenge?" Ning Yue was taken aback at first, then he shook his head without thinking. "I can't control a King-grade flying sword, so I don't want to take part in the challenge for now."
"Hmph! What do you mean you don't want to take part in the challenge? In my opinion, you don't have the guts! "
Zhao Kuo scoffed. "If you don't have the guts, then you don't. Why do you have to make it sound so grand?"
"Oh, in that case, Young Master Zhao Kuo is confident that you can defeat four puppets." Ning Yue raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Young Master Zhao Kuo, why don't you give it a try? Given your relationship with this old man, I'm sure you don't have to pay the registration fee of ten thousand supreme Yuan crystals."
"You!"
Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth in anger.
He was the one who mocked Ning Yue, but Ning Yue kicked the ball back to him, putting him in a difficult position.
"Fine! It's just four puppets. I'm not afraid of you! "
After a while, Zhao Kuo said coldly, "After I challenge them, you have to challenge them as well. Don't go back on your word."
"You … really want to challenge them?"
Zhao Kuo's determination was beyond Ning Yue's expectation.
Those were four puppets at the peak of the Late Yin Yang stage! With Zhao Kuo's strength, let alone ten minutes, he might not even be able to last a minute or a second. To be precise, he might not even be able to last half a second!
After all, Zhao Kuo's strength was much weaker than that half-step Yin-Yang stage martial artist.
Zhao Kuo was a peerless genius in the Alchemy Union. He had great attainments in alchemy, but his martial strength was slightly weaker.
"That's right, I want to challenge them!"
Zhao Kuo said proudly, "Aren't they just four late-Yin Yang stage puppets? With my strength, I might not be able to last ten minutes, but I can at least last three."
Without waiting for Ning Yue's reply, Zhao Kuo dashed out.
While dashing forward, Zhao Kuo unleashed all the energy in his spiritual ocean and gathered them on his wrist. With that, he threw a punch that brought up a raging gale of energy and punched one of the puppets viciously.
Bang!
A crisp sound was heard.
"Ahh!"
Along with the crisp sound, there was a scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered.
Obviously, the scream came from Zhao Kuo's mouth.
Crack!
Moreover, after the scream, the bones in Zhao Kuo's wrist once again let out a crisp sound.
"Ugh …"
Seeing how straightforward Zhao Kuo was, Ning Yue pursed his lips and said, "Zhao Kuo, I forgot to remind you that once the puppets enter battle mode, no one can interfere."
Ning Yue paused for a moment and looked at the black-clad old man. "Not even a peak Yin-Yang stage martial artist can interfere."
"Ning Yue, it's your turn!"
With great difficulty, Zhao Kuo rose to his feet. Dragging his right hand with his left hand, he gnashed his teeth and said, "Although I've only lasted ten seconds in the puppet's hands, I reckon you won't be able to last even a second!"
Pfft!
Ning Yue could not help but laugh.
He was pushed back by the puppets as soon as they clashed, and the bones in his wrist were broken. How could that be called lasting ten seconds?
If that was the case, didn't that half-step Yin-Yang stage martial artist count as lasting ten minutes?
"Ning Yue, if you want to challenge the puppets, please allow me to lower their combat strength."
Seeing that Zhao Kuo and Ning Yue's bet had successfully aroused Ning Yue's curiosity, the black-clad old man waved his hand and walked toward the puppets.
As he walked, he said, "I might have adjusted the puppets' specifications a little too high, so I'll lower their combat strength now." Crack!
Crack! Crack!
Crack! Crack! The black-clad old man touched the backs of the four puppets. Then, everyone was shocked to find that each puppet's cultivation base had dropped from peak Yin-Yang stage Late-stage to peak Yin-Yang stage Middle-stage!
"He actually lowered the puppets' cultivation base by one level!"
