It was winter.
It was snowing outside the door. Although it did not turn the world into a vast expanse of white, it still occupied most of the colors of the world, making the world a little monotonous.
Inside a luxurious mansion, the atmosphere was quite lively, unlike the cold outside.
At this time, many people in kimonos gathered in a place that looked like a dojo, standing around, leaving a large empty space in the middle.
Surrounding such a place, these people whispered to each other while concentrating their attention on the two youths in the field.
They were two people of similar age. At a glance, one could tell that one of them was older, while the other was younger. Both of them wore kimonos and were surrounded by puppets that didn't even have facial features. They stood facing each other.
The man named Akabane Kuukan was sitting on the main seat with a straight face, watching the scene from afar. After a while, he nodded to a person who seemed to be the host.
The other party immediately understood, stepped forward, came between the two teenagers, and raised his hand.
"The puppet drill between Akabane Tenzen and Akabane Narukami will now begin, both sides salute."
Hearing this, the teenager named Akabane Tenzen and Akabane Narukami stepped forward at the same time.
The temperament of these two teenagers was also completely different. One appeared to be generous and calm, and the other was lazy and childish, forming a very sharp contrast.
However, everyone present looked at these two teenagers with completely different styles, and there was only one emotion in their eyes.
That was respect.
Under this kind of gaze, the two began to salute each other.
Immediately, a turbulent magical power surged out of the two.
"Om!"
With a little buzz in the air, the magical power turned into pure power, acting on the puppets around the two.
In the next second, the silhouettes of these puppets flashed with a faint light, causing these pure wooden products to actually start to move.
The number was six.
Of course, this was only the number of puppets that moved. There were a total of 20 puppets standing around the two teenagers, 10 on each side, and now only three of them moved.
These six puppets seemed to be pulled by invisible strings, as if they had gained life and were running forward.
Then, the six puppets began to fight fiercely.
It would definitely be an intense battle.
The six puppets were mixed together. Although they did not have any weapons in their hands, their every movement was like that of soldiers who had undergone rigorous training. Although the punches and kicks they displayed could not be considered martial arts, they could still be considered techniques. They fought in an orderly manner.
Moreover, it wasn't just three simple one-on-one battles.
Sometimes, some puppets would suddenly abandon the enemies in front of them and rush towards the puppets that had their backs exposed and attack them.
Sometimes, some puppets would jump up and exchange positions with the puppets behind them, joining forces to attack the enemy.
Sometimes, a puppet would block all the puppets in front of it, allowing the other two puppets to escape and launch a sneak attack.
Sometimes, the three puppets would even form an extremely profound formation, causing their coordination and movement to seem extremely formidable, causing their combat strength to rise abruptly and reveal shocking suppressive force.
That incomparably exquisite group battle was simply unbelievable. This was something that a few wooden puppets could do.
In fact, that was, of course, not easy to do.
If it weren't for the two boys behind each other, this scene wouldn't have happened at all.
The two boys' magical power was wantonly squandered, constantly rolling up brilliance, flashing around them.
The two boys' eyes were also looking at each other, with a trace of smile on their faces.
After a while, the calm boy was the first to speak.
"You've improved again, Narukami, compared to last time, your Telekinesis is purer."
The boy named Akabane Tenzen, like a gentle big brother, expressed his praise to the other party.
In this regard, the lazy and childish boy could not help but roll his eyes.
"Brother Tian, are you mocking me?"
The boy who was given the name Akabane Narukami said angrily.
"Even if my [Telekinesis] has improved a lot, it's still only the first step. The coordination between the puppets and the formation you just showed, that's clearly something only Heavenly Eye can do, right? That's the sixth step, isn't it? "
From the name alone, one could tell that compared to the items in the first tier, the sixth tier was undoubtedly superior.
In this regard, Akabane Tenzen shook his head.
"The so-called" ladder "only refers to the difficulty and height, not the strength. Heavenly Eye and Telekinesis belong to two completely different skills, and you can't distinguish the strong and the weak in this way."
This sentence made the young man named Akabane Narukami nod deeply, revealing a sly smile.
"Tien-ge is right. In order to prove that Tien-ge is not lying, I will increase the intensity of Telekinesis. Let's see if your Heavenly Eye can keep up."
As soon as he said that, Akabane Narukami's magical power rose, once again turned into pure power, and acted on the puppets around him.
Immediately after, the remaining seven puppets also started to move and joined the battle.
"He actually manipulated ten puppets?"
The people around him were somewhat stirred.
It had to be known that the more puppets one controlled, the more mana one would need to consume, and the difficulty of controlling would also increase exponentially. It wasn't that easy to accomplish.
But Akabane Narukami did it easily, and he even let them join the battle.
"My goodness, you still have a trick up your sleeve, then I won't hide anymore."
Akabane Tenzen couldn't help but smile, and he also sent a large amount of magical power to manipulate the remaining seven puppets around him and let them join the battle.
As a result, a total of twenty puppets completely occupied the entire dojo and launched a more fierce battle. The sound of wood colliding with wood resounded throughout the dojo.
Seeing that scene, Akabane Kuukan, who was sitting on the first seat, did not say anything, but there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and there was also a hint of pride.
After a while, Akabane Kuukan raised his hand.
"That's it."
That sentence made the sound that resounded throughout the dojo stopped.
The twenty puppets in the dojo also stopped at the same time, and under the guidance of magical power, they returned to Akabane and Akabane.
Looking at that delicate manipulation, the people around finally began to make noise.
"As expected of Young Master Tenzen and Young Master Narukami."
"Our Akabane Clan's" Celestial Child "and" Child Prodigy "are really worthy of their name."
"Miss Fuko is not bad either. Although she is not as good as Young Master Tenzen and Young Master Narukami, she is at least a genius who can be recorded in our clan's history."
"Compared with the two young masters, Young Master Raizen is …"
Such voices kept ringing, which slightly changed the lively atmosphere in the air, and also made Akabane Kuukan, who was sitting on the first seat, gloomy.
Akabane Tenzen lowered his head, faintly looking a little worried.
