Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 377 Puppet Master

Looking over, Feng Siyue saw that the person in the number seven arena was a woman. She was completely covered in black clothes and had a string of wooden dolls hanging from her waist.

She was somewhat puzzled, "This is...?"

Sang Qiu's voice came from the front, "The puppeteer of the Mu family."

Feng Siyue turned her head and saw that the three people who were playing chess had put away their chessboards at some point and were staring at the person who appeared on the stage with probing eyes.

Yan Nanfei, who was standing nearby, asked, "Puppet master? What kind of profession is that?"

Pian Zi leaned back lazily, her mischievous streak returning, "Senior Sister Xiao Luo, just beg me, and I'll tell you~"

Did not say?

Yan Nanfei didn't mind, "I can ask someone else."

Pian Zi was puzzled and somewhat dissatisfied. "Why waste time asking others when there's something readily available?"

Are we still from the same sect?

"Then tell me."

Pian Zi: "......"

Sang Qiu smiled, took a sip of tea, and then said...

"The Mu family puppeteers were a once-prosperous family in the southwest of Qinghe Luozhou a hundred years ago."

"They are usually wood-elemental, learn wood-based techniques, and have an extremely high affinity for spiritual plants. They are good at combining ordinary spiritual plants with some special things to create powerful and inanimate attack weapons."

"They know nothing of pain, only obey their master's commands, and are known to the world for their endless numbers and unpredictable puppet war beasts."

“A hundred years ago, it was once famous in Qinghe Luozhou.”

Even the usually quiet Mi'er said, "Their strength is terrifying. A hundred years ago, they even produced a monstrous descendant who, at the age of twenty-five, reached the Saint rank."

Upon hearing this, Yan Nanfei exclaimed in surprise, "Twenty-five years old? A Spirit Saint?"

Mi'er nodded.

"Yes, that man's talent was so extraordinary that countless cultivators of his age looked up to him and couldn't even muster the slightest thought of pursuing him!"

His fame was his downfall, and so was his downfall.

"Too many people were jealous of his talent, so one night later, his entire clan was wiped out."

"He too was like a fleeting flower, his life ending in death and the fading of his spirit."

Yan Nanfei asked with slight confusion, "Wasn't it said that their clan was wiped out? Then where did this puppeteer come from?"

The woman shook her head. "I don't know."

Pian Zi chuckled meaningfully, "Just keep watching, and you'll find out."

The college competition was indeed full of surprises.

Arena number seven.

The woman in black, whose face was half-hidden by a cloak and hood, looked up, revealing a pair of blue eyes. Her voice was calm.

"War Puppet Sect, Mu Li."

Opposite her stood a woman dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, her hair tied in a high ponytail. She raised her hand.

"Taiqing Sword Sect, Chong Ke."

Chong Ke made the first move, clasping her hands together and extending them outwards. The sword at her waist flew out spontaneously and stood in front of her!

One splits into two, two splits into three, and in two breaths they transform into twelve flying swords!

She hissed, "Go!"

With the added spiritual power, the twelve flying swords, almost tangible, shot towards Mu Li with an undeniable force!

Taiqing Sword Sect's competition seat.

"Twelve handles?"

"Wow, Junior Sister Chong has already reached the peak of the Great Spirit Master realm?"

One of the disciples exclaimed in praise.

"Junior Sister Chong is exceptionally talented, and her cultivation speed surpasses that of you and me. We still need to work harder!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

The woman at the head of the table, sitting upright, slightly turned her head.

"looks great."

The group fell silent.

"Yes, Saint."

In the arena.

Mu Li's gaze remained unchanged as he extended a hand wearing a black glove.

On each finger, there was something resembling a ring, connected by thin chains, looking like an exquisite piece of jewelry.

She gently shook the bell at the bottom of the ring, "Ding-a-ling~"

Transparent cyan threads appeared out of thin air. With his other hand, Mu Li took out a cyan wooden puppet wearing armor. The cyan threads spun and shimmered into it, as if they were infusing it with life!

The puppet quickly grew larger and stood in front of her!

The puppet transformed into a general who seemed to have been through many battles, raising his long sword and slashing fiercely!

Of the twelve flying swords, three were cut down, leaving nine!

Seeing this, Chong hurriedly distracted himself and controlled the remaining flying swords, passing through the puppet and heading towards Mu Li!

Mu Li leaped onto the shoulder of the armor.

She put her index and middle fingers together with her left hand, pressed her thumb against the other two fingers, and a point of blue light appeared at the tip of her finger. It was as if a halo appeared in her calm eyes, making her look very mysterious!

"cut!"

The general raised his long sword and slashed at Zhong Ke!

Seeing this, she sidestepped and dodged another backflip, nine flying swords appearing behind her.

"Harmony between Heaven and Man, the Ultimate Swordplay, Wind and Moon Slash!"

The nine flying swords merged into one, bursting forth with golden light, transforming into a three-zhang-tall flying sword that hurtled towards the general!

Mu Li pointed a finger and said, "Wings."

A pair of blue wings appeared behind the soldiers.

He leaped into the air, bypassing Chong Ke's attack and flashing behind her. The hilt of his longsword struck the girl's back, sending her flying off the stage!

On the arena, the woman stood on the soldier's shoulder, her beautiful hair fluttering with her clothes. The soldier flew in the air, his deep, clear eyes exactly like his owner's!

Calm, yet possessing an extremely powerful core!

Just thirty breaths!

Yan Nanfei stared, forgetting to blink, "Can fight... and fly... this is a puppeteer?"
